C1987 Final volume
The defeat of Chuan Army was very tragic. Not only was the battle had been fought out of the Jinsha City, it was also being chased out of his own camp, and in the end, it had been utterly defeated.
In the end, less than ten thousand people from the Chuan Army followed Yang Zhao and the other generals. With an army of over a hundred thousand, some died, some suffered injuries, and some scattered.
Until they lost the pursuers of the enemy, the generals of Chuan Army were still unable to figure out who this Chastity Army was that suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
According to the Chuan Army, the rebel army was all gathered at the Jinsha City, and there were already over a hundred thousand rebel soldiers there, it was simply impossible for them to have ambushed an army of over a hundred thousand soldiers outside the city. If that was really the case, why did they keep holding back during the four months of the Jinsha City battle, allowing the rebel army inside the city to persevere, suffering heavy casualties, why didn't they attack from the inside out out out out out out, obtaining victory in the war? There were too many things that didn't make sense, and that people couldn't figure out no matter how hard they tried.
Then, who exactly was this army that descended from the sky? The answer was that they were indeed the chaste troops, and they were pure troops of pure blood. The one leading the chaste troops this time was not some bystander, but the Yin Li who had previously found an excuse to leave the Jinsha City.
When Yin Li led the Chastity Army into the Jinsha City, he immediately handed over the command to his Vice Commander, and went back to the Mayor Palace.
When Yin Li appeared in the pavilion, Li Shu and the other loyal generals looked at him with their eyes wide open.
Didn't Yin Li escape before the battle? Why did he suddenly return?
He took out his sword and walked towards Yin Li with large strides. He pointed the tip of his sword at's neck and bellowed: "Traitor, you still have the face to come back?"
Yin Li did not look at him. He looked at Li Shu, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, then said: "This lowly general greets Great General. These past few months, Great General has suffered greatly."
Li Shu walked up quickly. He first pushed aside the loyal general who was pointing the sword at Yin Li, then pulled him up from the ground and said with a trembling voice, "Yin ? Yin Li, you... Where did he go? I've been waiting so long for you! " As he spoke, tears rolled down his face.
Seeing that, Yin Li also cried, and then recounted his whereabouts in detail to Li Shu. After Yin Li left the Jinsha City, he did not go to the Chiyue.
He went to Jing Gu Country, and in the Jing Gu Country's territory, he carried Li Shu's banner, and recruited troops and horses.
Originally, he had planned to recruit tens of thousands of people and bring it back to the Jinsha City, but things were not as smooth as he had imagined. Firstly, he was not Li Shu. His prestige in the People of Zhen Country was not as big as Li Shu's, so even in the name of Li Shu, there were very few People of Zhen Country who were willing to come and join him. Secondly, he had no money in his hands, no weapons, and nothing to attract him. After half a month, Yin Li had only recruited a few hundred people, which was far from his expectations of tens of thousands.
However, things quickly turned for the better. The first turning point was that Chuan Army besieged the Jinsha City, causing the Feng Country to be unable to transport the materials and money to the Chastity Army.
was wild with joy upon hearing this news, and immediately brought his trusted aides and the few hundred people that he had recruited to help him receive equipment and food from the Feng Country. This way, Li Shu had the most basic of all capital to recruit troops.
The second turning point was that had forced the citizens of People of Zhen Country to join the army, using them as cannon fodder to attack the Jinsha City.
This matter caused the people of People of Zhen Country to feel indignant, they hated the actions of the People of Chuan Country so much that their roots were itching, even eating and devouring their flesh and bones could not quench their hatred.
The furious emotions of the crowd in the People of Zhen Country made Yin Li realize that his chance had come. He once again raised Li Shu's banner, and shouted out the slogan "Light Recovery Zhen Country, expel the Sichuan thieves".
This time, the People of Zhen Country responded positively. Even if they were not given any military pay, food or armaments, they were still willing to prepare their own weapons, foodstuffs, participate in the rebel army, and fight to the death with People of Chuan Country.
In just half a month's time, there were already tens of thousands of People of Zhen Country who had come to participate in the rebellion. Furthermore, there were still many people who had come to join the rebellion, and there were even many People of Zhen Country who had come by day and night from Canglin to pacify the counties in Sichuan. As there were too many people here, this kind of opportunity was too rare. Yin Li was reluctant to immediately rush back to the Jinsha City, so he settled down in the Pinggu County for a long time.
The reason he dared to stay in the Pinggu County for a long period of time was because of the third turning point that the Chuan Army had given him. When Chuan Army decided to surround and attack Jinsha City, nearly all of the Chuan Army of the three counties of the Western Zhen were gathered at this point. As a result, the prefectural county practically became an empty county, and the remaining Chuan Army left in the entire county was very little. This gave Yin Li the opportunity and space to make the rebel army stronger.
The current Yin Li could be said to be occupying every nook and cranny of the world, as well as people. There were many People of Zhen Country from all over the place who came to him in an endless stream, asking for weapons, food, necessities, and Feng Country. Moreover, there was no pressure on him from the outside world.
In these four months, he had recruited a total of one hundred and fifty thousand People of Zhen Country s, moreover, it was very important that the Zhen Country had always carried out a policy of unionizing the entire population. The People of Zhen Country's individual combat ability was extremely strong, even if it was a new recruit that had just arrived, there was no need for him to do any more training. Yin Li only needed to train Zhen Jun's formation and discipline.
Of course, in these past four months, Yin Li had always sent scouts to scout out the battle situation at the Jinsha City, he could understand the difficulty of defending the city, but since it had already dragged on until it was so late, he might as well drag it out to the end. When both sides were done fighting, he would suddenly launch an attack, and then, he would be able to completely annihilate the main forces of the Chuan Army.
Only after the battle of Jinsha City had lasted for four months did Yin Li lead this group of one hundred and fifty thousand elite chaste soldiers that he had personally trained to secretly sneak into the borders of the Bainan County from Jinggu County, and then silently sneak into the vicinity of the Jinsha City.
If he did not use his Chuan Army for the last strike, with Yin Li's personality, he would probably continue to wait. This was how Yin Li led a hundred and fifty thousand strong army to suddenly appear in the Jinsha City.
When he finished speaking, Li Shu and the other Chastity Generals all heaved a sigh of relief. It turned out that Yin Li did not escape at the last moment, but had instead gone to the Jindan County to recruit men and horses.
Many of the generals had a 180 degree change in their impression of Yin Li. If the first time he defeated the Chuan Army was due to luck, then this time, it was definitely the manifestation of his strength.
His ability to control the entire battle, as well as grasp the opportunity, was not unprecedented, but he was definitely one of the best commanders in the world. Very few people could stand up to him.
Li Shu looked at Yin Li who was kneeling and unable to stand up, and his expression changed unsettled, as his eyeballs were also rolling non-stop.2
To be able to win in this battle, Yin Li's achievements were great, his actions far surpassed his. More importantly, his soldiers and horses had all been defeated, and Yin Li actually had a hundred and fifty thousand elite soldiers, so would these soldiers and horses belong to him, Yin Li, or to him?
Seeing Li Shu not saying a word for a long time, the other generals looked at him in confusion. After a while, Li Shu who had been silent the whole time suddenly asked: "Yin Li, where is your Soldier Symbol?"
Yin Li did not even think about it, and immediately said: "Here!" As he spoke, he carefully took out a red silk package and held it in his hand.
Li Shu's eyes lit up, he immediately took the red silk cloth and opened it, revealing the Soldier Symbol inside.
It was a bronze lion, not very exquisite, but its significance was extraordinary. Whoever had it would have the power to command a hundred and fifty thousand strong army.
"Our army's Soldier Symbol is really crude. This general thinks that it's time to change it to a new one." After he finished speaking, Li Shu did not return the Soldier Symbol to Yin Li, but instead hid it in his own embrace, and as if nothing had happened, he shouted to the surrounding generals. "The Chuan Army has already been defeated, various generals follow me out of the city.
"Kill!" The generals shouted in unison as they followed Li Shu down the pavilion.
After waiting for Li Shu to bring his men away, they all came to Yin Li's side and helped him up. Yin Li, who was still kneeling foolishly on the ground, said softly: "General Yin, you came too late to save us, why didn't you come earlier?"
Yin Li frowned and said: "If you had come earlier, our soldiers would not have been able to train properly, and would only be able to knock out the Chuan Army. But if you came now, we can destroy all of them."
"You're right, but Great General doesn't feel well, General Yin, you probably don't know, if you were even half a step later, Great General would have ?" then he would have already slit his own throat with his sword. "
Ah!" Yin Li heard this and could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.
Seeing his shocked face, the Zhenren said in a low voice: "So, General Yin don't blame Great General for taking your Soldier Symbol. Great General is now afraid from the bottom of his heart, I believe that in a few days, the Soldier Symbol will be returned to you."
"Oh!" Yin Li nodded his head blankly, but did not say anything more.
The battle at Jinsha City lasted for a long time, and after fighting for more than four months, in the end, it ended with a huge defeat for Chuan Army. After this battle, the Chuan Country had completely lost control of the three countries of the Western Zhen. In the following months, the Zhen Jun army unstoppably defeated the other two counties, and thus, the rebellious Li Shu's forces finally had a foundation, with the three countries of the Western Zhen as the foundation, they unrestrainedly recruited troops, and expanded towards the east. The momentum had already reached an unstoppable level.
Western Zhen suffered continuous setbacks, and finally, the Imperial Court of Chuan Country realized the severity of the situation, and felt even more powerful pressure. If they could not pacify the rebellion, not only would the rebel army control the entire Zhen Country, they might even counterattack and invade the homeland of the Chuan Country.
