Chapter 546: The Battle of the Snowfield (continued)

(Single's Day is here again. I wish all the singles a happy holiday!)

Blood sprinkled all the way.

Before they could change their color, they were frozen by the cold weather, and the thrilling bright red solidified on the snow and in the ice.

There are corpses that fell to the ground everywhere, with strange postures, two parts of the body, two parts of the body, or few legs, everywhere. Even though Gu Han saw many dead people after experiencing several battles before, it was still extremely shocking to see so many people who died in one battle.

More dead people were chased and killed by the right guard during the escape.

In the earlier battles, the cavalry troops that had no movement at all won numerous deaths in the final pursuit. They even disdained the scattered defeated soldiers who had lost their establishment and fled alone. Their target was only those large groups of people.

Of course, those scattered deserters were unable to escape in the end.

Because the following infantrymen of the Right Guard, both physically and equipment, far surpassed their opponents in combat will. These scattered deserters were eventually caught up by the infantrymen of the Right Guard in the snow field and were easily killed.

No captives.

Li Rui doesn't want to be captured.

In fact, they could not have rushed with so many prisoners.

Gu Han sat on the horse-drawn sled and saw a desperate enemy being chased by two right guards not far away. When Gu Han's sled car passed by them, he happened to hear the prisoner begging for mercy loudly in despair.

But the soldiers of the Right Guard seemed to have not heard the other party's voice at all, and raised their swords and slashed them coldly.

The sound of begging for mercy came to an abrupt end. The soldiers of the Right Guard kicked the corpse aside as if they threw a broken pocket, and then hurriedly chased the large army ahead with a knife.

In the evening, Gu Han finally arrived at his destination.

In front of him, the cavalry had already arrived first.

A huge dock fort was presented in front of Gu Han. The highest point of the dock fort was already planted with the banner of the Right Guard. On the city wall, there were also some infantrymen who arrived first.

Gu Han breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the escaped part of the enemies did not return to the fort. He originally thought there would be another battle here, but now he occupied the biggest target of the trip without any bloodshed.

Under the fort, a large group of old, weak, women and children squatted on the ground with their heads in despair. These should be the enemy's family.

Gu Han jumped off the sled car and saw the same old, weak and weak women and children driven by cavalry from all directions. At the same time, in the fort, some luxuriously decorated women, children and children were driven out.

Those who were kicked out of the fort were obviously much better than those outside.

With the sound of horse hooves, Li Rui rode out from the fortress. When he saw Gu Han, he jumped off the horse with a smile: "The soft cock Kanyan didn't escape here. Although we occupied this place without any effort, it still disappointed me. Only by cutting off his head can I calm my anger a little."

Gu Han pointed to the trembling prisoners: "What should we do with these people?"

Li Rui scratched his head, and was also a little embarrassed.

"I originally wanted to kill them all!"

"So many people, and they are old, weak, women and children!" Gu Han was startled.

Li Rui rolled his eyes: "Why are there innocent people? Do you think their men, father, have they snatched back bloody food and bloody treasures, they have not enjoyed?"

"But there are too many people!" Gu Han said weakly.

"Yes, there are too many people." Li Rui sighed with a rare sigh: "I really can't do it."

The night finally came, and more and more soldiers of the Right Guard returned to the team. As military flags gathered in front of Li Rui, the entire system was finally restored to complete.

The bearish torches were lit on the city wall, illuminating the city under the threat of soldiers and waiting desperately for his last fate under the threat of war.

Li Rui rode his horse past them.

"From now on, you have time to escape. After a stick of incense, the pursuit will begin." A cruel sneer appeared on the corner of Li Rui's mouth. "Now, run!"

Someone stood up and looked at Li Rui.

"Don't run, do you want to die now?" Li Rui waved the whip in his hand and knocked the nearest person to the ground. The man got up from the ground, as if he was awakened by the whip. He howled in despair, turned around and ran towards the darkness.

With the first one, the people behind immediately began to imitate. Tens of thousands of such prisoners, whether they are usually the lowest slaves or the noblest housewife, spread their legs and ran towards the boundless darkness.

In a blink of an eye, under the bustling dock, the captives ran away cleanly and disappeared in the darkness.

Li Rui listened for a while, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and gently knocked on the horse's belly, and walked into the fort.

Behind him, thousands of soldiers entered the fort one after another.

Gu Han stood at the top of the fort, looking at the darkness with some melancholy.

Footsteps came from beside him, and Li Rui came to his side.

"Don't go and chase?" Gu Han asked as the soldiers almost all entered the fort.

"With this strength, it's better to let everyone have a good sleep!" Li Rui laughed: "I haven't had a good sleep in the warm house for many days. At this point, most of the basic goals before the war have been completed, and there are still a few nails left, but none of them are as difficult as Kanyan, which is just a formality."

Gu Han finally showed a smile on his lips: "Although it is right that you say there are no innocent people here, I will still feel uncomfortable if you really want to kill these people. After all, we are from the Tang Dynasty, we are different from them, we are more civilized and advanced than them."

"I'm not a killer!" Li Rui said with some dissatisfaction: "If you want to kill, I will only kill those who can cause harm to us. Forget these people! But in such a dark night and in such a weather, it's hard to say how much they can survive, right?"

"Either we start, or we need to be better. As for how much we can survive, that is their life!" Gu Han said lightly.

Li Rui laughed: "Judge Gu, I like you more and more. You are completely different from many scholars. I am afraid that you will ask me to give these people some food!"

Gu Han also laughed: "I have never been such a hypocrite. We must first Gu Quan, right? General Li, when it comes to food, I am hungry."

Li Rui turned around, pointed to the curling smoke rising from the fort, and said, "Look, the guys have already started preparing supper."

The fort is very large, enough to accommodate five thousand right guard soldiers. There are also comfortable and luxurious residences in the fort. Obviously, this place originally belonged to Kanyan, but now it has become the residence of Li Rui and Gu Han.

The soldiers had searched repeatedly several times to confirm that there was no outsider in the place where the residence was. At this time, the same search was also carried out in the entire fort. Occasionally, a hidden person who was lucky was caught out by the soldiers of the Right Guard from their hiding place and killed his life with one knife.

Li Rui is not the kind of rough general. His own experience makes him extremely careful no matter what he does.

"It is actually very difficult to fight such a dock." Li Rui said, "I was ready to fight hard, and even brought two catapults. I didn't expect that Kan Yan's mind would get into the water and actually wanted to fight with us in the field. Haha, in the field, they were slags. Judge Gu, I defeated nearly 20,000 enemies at the cost of less than 500 casualties, killed more than 10,000 enemies, and few escaped. If the opponent was Zhang Zhongwu's army, I would become a famous general. Unfortunately, it was a slave army like Kan Yan. Alas, such military achievements would be defeated."

"It's not that even if they are not strong in combat, there are still 20,000 people!" Gu Han comforted with a smile. "It's already a great achievement to defeat him in one battle."

"No matter what, I'm still very happy to win. The most important thing is that we can rest for two days and wait for the logistics subsidy of governor Li. Now our army can only support the food and grass for about ten days. Although we had gained something in the fort before, we didn't get much, and we could barely support five days. These slave soldiers are really poor." Li Rui said: "I originally thought that I could get food and grass for about ten days, so I could send troops directly without waiting for the logistics subsidy of governor Li, so that I could still go home for the New Year!"

"When the soldiers were still very motivated, they were still tired after all. I didn't do anything. I just followed the way and wanted to take a good rest. Moreover, the soldiers, the right way is to be with both tension and relaxation." Gu Han said.

"Judge Gu said, just rest in this fort for a few days!" Li Rui waved his hand.

"Kan Yan still escaped. There are always two or three thousand people who escape with him. Will they kill him and shoot him back?" Gu Han reminded Li Rui.

Li Rui laughed: "Judge Gu, my scout has been sent out long ago. If our Wuwei army can be attacked by the enemy, it would be a strange thing. Even if we rest, half of the people are on guard. This is clearly stipulated in our Wuwei military code. You, rest assured to sleep with your great sleep."

Gu Han smiled embarrassedly. It was no wonder that others would laugh when they showed off their skills in front of a long-time general like Li Rui.

After having a full meal, Gu Han climbed onto the bed and fell asleep beautifully.

Unfortunately, he didn't sleep until dawn.

When he was woken up by Li Rui, it was still dark outside.

"What happened?" Gu Han jumped up: "Has Kan Yan really been called back?"

Li Rui shook his head: "Kan Yan is nothing. Even if he comes, there is nothing to be scary."

"What's going on?"

"I think we are trapped." Li Rui said thoughtfully.

"In the trap?" Gu Han was shocked: "What does it mean?"
