Chapter 518
The city of Jiangzhou was already crowded with people. Seeing the fierce barbarian coalition defeat, there was a sudden cheer on the city, and the drums were beaten to cheer for the Jingzhou army.
When Liu Jing saw the enemy retreat, he turned around and said to the general Chen Mi Ling: "You can lead 10,000 troops to chase them. Don't allow them to cross the river. Kill them all for me!"
"Abide by the order!"
Chen Mi led a 10,000 troops to pursue him. Liu Jing ordered the general Lou Fa again: "The enemy must cross the river from Jiangyang County to the south. You can lead 500 warships to continue westward, block the river surface, and no ships are allowed to cross the river. If you do not surrender, you will be killed!"
"The last one will obey the order!"
Lou Fa led more than a hundred people back to the warship. At this time, Sima Yi stepped forward and advised: "In fact, wouldn't it be better to capture them and influence them? Why did the provincial governor kill them all?"
Liu Jing shook his head and said, "The military advisor cannot just care about the laughter of the barbarians, but ignore the cry of the Han people. They commit crimes and burn, kill, loot, and rape women. They deserve it. Kill them, but kill them, so that I can conquer the Ba people. As for the influence, I think Liu Zhang is weak and is too tolerant of them, so that he has developed their arrogance and arrogance. Only by killing them will they make them afraid and surrender."
Sima Yi was silent. He did not agree with Liu Jing's words. Although blindly tolerant will only encourage the other party's arrogance, only the way of doing both kindness and power is the king, once the bloody killing is killed, the conflict between the barbarians and the government will no longer be reconciled and become a dead knot.
Liu Jing looked at him, as if he understood his concerns. He shook his head. Sima Yi was a Confucian scholar after all, and he was still young, and sometimes he would inevitably have a little bit of corrupt scholarly spirit. This is a killing person in Ba County, and it is completely different from killing person in southern Xinjiang. Sima Yi didn't understand this.
At this time, Pang Xi, who had been silent, said: "The barbarians sent troops to plunder the Han people. They always wanted women but not men, and money but not land. Whether it was prisoners of war or ordinary people, men were killed, and the houses were burned. After the Dong Zhuo rebellion, this situation became more and more serious. Liu Zhang could not stop it. He could only use the means of comforting Liu Wei to marry the daughter of Yong Kai as his wife. There were also such factors. Moreover, if he killed Shengman and Matureman, he would kill Heiyi and Baiyi, he would not have to worry too much."
After a moment of silence, Sima Yi sighed softly and bowed to Liu Jing and said, "I understand!"
At this time, the gate of Jiangzhou was wide open, and the county magistrate Zhang Yi led hundreds of elders out of the city to greet Liu Jing. They knelt on the side of the road and whispered: "Jiangzhou City is grateful to Liuzhou Mu for saving his life!"
Liu Jing hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhang Yi up and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang refused to surrender. Liu Jing admired the spirit of leading the soldiers and civilians to resolutely resist foreign aggression. Please rest assured that the military discipline of Jingzhou is strict and will never disturb the people of Ba County."
Zhang Yi was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "The kindness of the provincial governor is known to everyone in the world. The people of Ba County, Mengzhou governor, should serve the provincial governor. I don't know that the provincial governor has come all the way west, have you ever encountered the prefect Yan?"
Liu Jing smiled slightly and took out Yan Yan's sword, "This is the sword of Yan Taishou. He ordered his nephew to bring him to me for help. Otherwise, how would I know that Jiangzhou is in danger?"
Zhang Yi recognized Yan Yan's sword. Since he had given all the swords to Liu Jing, he naturally surrendered. He immediately felt relieved and greeted Sima Yi and Pang Xi, and said to Liu Jing: "Please go to the city to rest!"
Liu Jing pondered for a moment, turned back to Sima Yi and said, "Military advisors should enter the city first! The war has not yet ended. I will rush to Jiangyang County to end the final battle. I will come back in two days. In addition, if General Yan returns, please come to Jiangyang County to see me."

Yong Kai fled west with his defeated army. The coalition camp was located in Weijiang Town a hundred miles away. They burned, killed and looted all the way, accumulated a lot of money, and also plundered countless young women. In order to plunder Jiangzhou City, they built a camp in Weijiang Town, stored all the stolen property and women in the camp, and rushed to Jiangzhou with light clothes.
Now the Jingzhou army has broken out and cut off everyone's way to make money. From generals to soldiers, everyone's thoughts are the same. The Jingzhou army has already made them frightened. They just want to get back the plundered property and women and cross the river and go home immediately.
Only Yong Kai's idea was slightly different from everyone. He was considering more of aid to Liu Wei. Obviously, the Jingzhou army also had to participate in the battle for Bashu. Whether it was Liu Xun or Liu Wei, the possibility of winning in the end was not high. In this case, it was obviously unwise for him to go north again. Yong Kai also decided to withdraw his troops and return to Jianning County to observe the changes in the situation.
Tens of thousands of defeated soldiers fled on the official road, and the team was very chaotic, with pursuers behind them. The soldiers were like frightened birds and could not stop to organize the team. They fled from morning to afternoon, and the number of soldiers also dropped sharply from more than 30,000 to more than 20,000. The remaining tens of thousands of soldiers were killed by the pursuers, and corpses dressed in vine armor or leather armor were everywhere along the way.
At this time, the defeated soldiers retreated to a valley, which was only a dozen miles away from their military camp. The valley was about five or six miles long, one mile widest and dozens of steps at the narrowest. In just a moment, the valley was filled with the fleeing Nanyizhou coalition forces, noisy and noisy, and everyone rushed out of the valley.
Yong Kai felt something was wrong. This valley left a deep impression on him. When he led his army to Jiangzhou, he joked to his left and right that if anyone ambushed them in the valley, they would be wiped out.
At that time, they were in power and morale were high. Such words were just a joke, but now, Yong Kai was particularly shocked, as if the valley was full of murderous aura, and he couldn't help but pinned the war horse at the entrance of the valley.
Decades of experience told him that even if they fled to the camp, they would not be able to escape and chase them. Liu Jing would never let them go. He knew in his heart that if he wanted to escape successfully, he had to leave the brigade.
"The prefect leaves quickly, the pursuers behind are coming!" their personal soldiers urged.
Yong Kai looked at both sides. The official road led directly to the valley and there was no road around. At this time, he saw a forest in the north, and the forest was unfathomable. He turned his horse's head and ran into the woods. More than a hundred personal soldiers followed him to the woods.
"Prince, there is no road there!" The soldiers shouted from behind.
Yong Kai was panicked and turned a blind eye to the shouts of his personal soldiers. He urged his horse to rush into the woods, and ran along a stream to the depths of the woods, gradually disappearing.
More than 20,000 defeated soldiers gradually rushed into the valley. Shen Mi led 10,000 pursuers from behind. They did not leave prisoners, and all the defeated soldiers who were chasing him were killed. At this time, a military marquis shouted to Shen Mi: "General, look at the mountain!"
When Shen Mi looked up, he saw a red flag of Jingzhou Army waving on the mountain. He thought about it and suddenly understood. He turned around and shouted: "The whole army stopped moving forward, and was not allowed to enter the valley!"
He had guessed that this should be Huang Zhong's army rushing forward. They were going to ambush the army in the valley. They should have seen their own army and reminded them with a big flag. Thinking of this, Shen Mi ordered again: "The crossbowman blocked the entrance to the valley and did not allow any enemy troops to escape."
As soon as he finished speaking, a scream erupted in the valley. From a distance, you can see thick smoke rolling over the valley and fires soaring into the sky. Sure enough, something happened in the valley. Chen Mi led three thousand crossbowmen to arrange it into a formation and blocked the entrance of the valley.
The sound of drums in the valley was loud and the shouts of killing were shocking. Huang Zhong received the order from Liu Jing. He led 15,000 troops around Jiangzhou, led the enemy's camp, and then turned around to set up an ambush in the valley.
At this time, Liao Hua led two thousand troops to block the other end of the valley, and Huang Zhongze led the rest of the troops to ambush on both sides of the valley, firing arrows at the same time, shooting and killing the defeated troops who had escaped.
More than 20,000 defeated soldiers ran for a day, and were extremely tired. They had just escaped from the battlefield, but they didn't expect to be ambushed here again. Many of them had abandoned their armor and had no shields or weapons in their hands. Most of them were bare-handed and wearing short clothes, so they could not escape the dense rain of arrows shot from both sides.
The defeated soldiers suffered heavy casualties, trampled on each other and cried and ran for life, but the front was blocked by a fire, and the flames were beating. Many soldiers rushed through the sea of fire regardless of everything, but were shot by arrows opposite the sea of fire and burned to death in the fire.
At this time, a soldier sent by Chen Mi ran up the mountain, found Huang Zhong, and bowed to report: "The old general, General Chen intercepted him in the outer valley. He conveyed the orders of the provincial governor to the old general, and did not leave prisoners of war, and all of them were killed!"
Huang Zhong was stunned, but he also knew that this must be Liu Jing's order. He would not refuse to execute it because it was Chen Mi's refusal. Seeing that more than half of the enemy's injuries were killed or injured, Huang Zhong immediately ordered: "Kill down the mountain and kill them all!"
There were loud drums on the mountains on both sides, and more than 10,000 Jingzhou soldiers rushed down from both sides, waving swords and spears to kill the enemy. The valley was filled with corpses. Except for being shot to death, many people were trampled on each other and died, with blood and blood, and those who had not died of death were stabbed to death by Jingzhou soldiers.
At this time, a soldier in Jingzhou found the body of an enemy general wearing a long feather and golden crown. He had the words "典易易" on his sword. The soldier shouted with joy and chopped off Zhu Bao's head with one knife.
King Gao Ding of Yue Yi led 4,000 Yi people to the end of the team. When the valley suddenly encountered an ambush, he was lucky, and only more than a thousand people in the front team entered the ambush circle.
The brutal killing almost broke Gao Ding's courage. He turned his horse and ran out. His Yi soldiers also went into chaos and rushed to the entrance of the valley.
But thousands of Jingzhou crossbowmen were densely arranged at the entrance of the valley, blocking the road to escape. When the Yi soldiers fled, Chen Mi gave the order, arrows suddenly shot at the defeated army, and the dense arrows were like storms, shooting towards the defeated army.
Large areas of the Yi people were shot to the ground, and in just one round of arrows, hundreds of people were shot to death at the entrance of the valley. Then, the second round of arrows came roaring again.
Seeing that the rear was even more difficult to escape, the soldiers of the Yi people were desperate, so they had to turn around and run into the valley. Many people climbed up along the cliffs at the entrance of the valley, and countless people fell to death. In the valley, there were a lot of crying in despair.
Seeing that the retreat was broken, Gao Ding had no choice but to turn his horse's head and run into the valley. At this time, a Jingzhou army rushed towards him. The leader was a veteran, with a strong figure, holding a golden back, a tiger-toothed sword, an iron armor and a silver helmet, and a white beard. He was particularly majestic. It was the veteran Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong saw Gao Ding at first sight and shouted, "King Yi will die!" He urged his horse to wave his sword and come to fight.
Gao Ding knew Huang Zhong and was so scared that he had no way to escape. He had to take off his iron spear and fight. Huang Zhong's war horse was like a dragon, flying past Gao Ding. He saw a flash of cold light and blood mist rising. Gao Ding's head flew three feet away. The body ran with the war horse for a few steps and fell to the ground.
Huang Zhong slashed Gao Ding with one sword and pointed his sword at the Yi Bing, "Kill me!"
Thousands of Jingzhou soldiers shouted and killed the last thousand Yi soldiers.

This was a far-reaching battle. The 40,000 coalition forces led by Yong Kai, the leader of Nanyizhou, were ruthlessly strangled by the Jingzhou army in Ba County. Except for Yong Kai and more than 100 people who escaped the disaster, more than 40,000 were wiped out and all were beheaded by the Jingzhou army.
This battle completely won the support of the Ba people, and also caused heavy losses to the tribes of Nanyizhou. They were afraid of Liu Jing's power and sent people to seek peace and surrender. Even the Shuman leader Meng Huo and the Baiyi leader Luo Jiaofeng, who were far away in Jianning, also sent envoys to present gifts to Liu Jing.
Although the Jingzhou army had not stepped into the southern part of Yizhou, it had already shocked the unjust intentions of the southern counties. However, Yong Kai was dissatisfied and he kept recruiting troops and waiting for an opportunity to rise again.
