Chapter 247 The Eleven-Strike Killing Law!
"remarkably brave."

Chen Ran waved his hand and asked the guards around him to block Han Shizhong's companions on both sides. He took the spear from the Desheng hook, rode his horse on the spot and fought with Han Shizhong who was galloping towards him.

'clang!!'

Amid the dull sound of metal clashing, Han Shizhong's expression changed drastically.

"Tsk, another monster!" Han Shizhong, whose arms were slightly numb, swung the spear in his hand and stabbed it towards Chen Ran.

In his opinion, monsters that are strong and have terrifying power must have no skills, and he can take them down with his excellent marksmanship.

But a scene that shocked Han Shizhong appeared. The bandit chief also fired his gun as fast as a dragon, with great momentum!

In terms of marksmanship alone, he is no worse than him!
The two men began to ride in circles to compete in shooting skills.

There wasn't a battle of three hundred rounds as described in the novels. Not to mention the lack of physical strength, when it came to a fight of life and death, the outcome was decided in a matter of seconds. How could the fight last for a long time? This wasn't a movie.

Chen Ran's advantage is that his arms have a strength of three thousand pounds, and he is not an idiot who does not use his advantage to focus on his exquisite marksmanship.

It's a powerful sweep and downward smash.

Every time Han Shizhong resisted, he felt like his body was about to fall apart, his hands' knuckles were cracked, and his teeth were almost broken.

"I was careless." He regretted it deeply. "I should have shot him with an arrow first!"

Han Shizhong's advantage is his superb archery skills, but unfortunately he was too eager to escape and was too confident in his own strength, so he did not use it first.

With a few clangs, the spear in Han Shizhong's hand was bent, and the mount under him was the first to collapse even before him.

The horse let out a mournful cry and fell to the ground, crushing one of Han Shizhong's legs.

They had already killed and scattered the Western Army's guards nearby, and quickly surrounded him, raising their axes and hammers to smash the man to death.

"Caught alive!"

Chen Ran shouted and saved Han Shizhong's life.

The reason was simple. When the two sides just started fighting, two lines of subtitles floated past his eyes.

'Meet the historical figure Han Shizhong, who was born as a rogue in Yan'an Prefecture, with a burly figure and extraordinary courage. He made outstanding contributions in the wars against Xia, Liao, and Jin, and was called Han Yue together with Yue Fei. He had the style of a famous general in ancient times. However, he had a bad temper, withheld military pay, argued for merit and slandered, boasted and learned all the evil deeds of the Western Army. He was one of the four generals of the Southern Song Dynasty.'

'Note, you can modify two of the words.'

Every era has its peerless heroes like shining stars. Among them, Wei Huo of the Han Dynasty, Han Yue of the Song Dynasty, and Xu Chang of the Ming Dynasty were all national heroes who expelled the Tartars.

It was also because of the system prompt subtitles that Han Shizhong was able to escape from Chen Ran's hands.

Unlike other Western troops, those who refused to surrender and continued to resist were all killed.

As time went by, the advancing Bianliang army had already arrived at the bank of the river.

The last of the Western Army was forced into the river.

Most of them cannot swim, and the big river behind them is a natural barrier.

In such a densely packed environment with people standing close to each other, the crossbow arrows shot by the Bianliang army did not need to be aimed at all, it was enough to just shoot at the approximate location.

The soldiers holding long weapons stepped forward and kept thrusting their weapons forward, turning the river water red. The endless cries were so desolate that it made people cry.

In history, the Western Army suffered many devastating defeats at the hands of the Jin people, and scenes such as being forced to the riverside and slaughtered occurred many times.

"It's falling, it's falling~~~"

"Mercy~~~"

"Don't kill me, I'll just surrender."

The remnants of the Western Army, whose fighting will had been completely destroyed, chose to drop their weapons, take off their armor and surrender.

Seeing the fighting gradually subside, various units reorganized their troops and began to gather prisoners and clean up the battlefield. Chen Ran turned his head and looked towards the horizon.

The sun in the west is about to set.

"Brother~~~"

Wu Song, who had satisfied his passion for fighting, ran over excitedly with a large banner in his hand, "I heard that the old villain Tong Guan ran away. I will cross the river and bring him back!"

"No need to bother." Chen Ran waved his hand and turned to look at the other side of the river. "Without soldiers and horses protecting him, the people he has harmed will not let him go."

Sure enough, at midnight, Chen Ran, who had moved into the camp built by the Western Army on the river bank, received news that a large number of torches were coming from the other side of the pontoon bridge.

Chen Ran, who was sleeping with his clothes on, immediately got up and took a large number of people to check.

Not long after, the soldiers stationed at the floating bridge came to report that "the man claimed to be a citizen of Shouzhou and came to seek credit for capturing Tong Guan and his entourage."

Tong Guan plundered extensively in the southeast, and became even more aggressive when he arrived in Huaixi.

His meaning was simple, which was to boost the morale and fighting will of the Western Army by plundering the people.

There was an effect. When the Western Army fought against the Bianliang Army, it could be said that they fought until the last moment.

But the Western Army was defeated, and without the legion as a deterrent, the people of Shouzhou who had been looted before immediately took action and killed more than half of Tong Guan and others who had escaped across the river. The rest were able to survive because someone suggested sending them across the river in exchange for a reward.

Under the illumination of countless torches, Chen Ran saw Tong Guan, who was in such a horrible state that he almost lost his human form.

This man was beaten so badly that his face was deformed.

Chen Ran called out to the military doctor, "Don't let him die. Bring him back to Bianliang City alive for torture."

He arranged for someone to take some money and goods to the people. When they returned to the other side happily, Chen Ran yawned and returned to the camp to continue sleeping. We'll talk about it tomorrow.

It took three days to completely clean up the battlefield and make a preliminary inventory.

"In this battle, 33,790 enemy soldiers were killed and 95,480 were captured alive."

Hu Cheng, who was reporting the accounts, paused and added, "There were no seriously injured prisoners."

With the medical technology of this era, it is naturally impossible for any seriously injured people to survive.

Usually when cleaning up the battlefield, if you come across someone seriously injured, no matter which side they belong to, they will help them out.

Most of the wounded who survived were those who were shot by arrows or other injuries but could still walk on their own.

Of course, in this era without tetanus antibiotics, only God knows how many of those injured by rusty weapons can survive the wound infection.

"More than 47,000 civilians were captured in the camp, and more than 3,000 were killed or wounded. Some of them were captured from the southeast and followed all the way here."

Chen Ran waved his hand and said, "Once their identities are confirmed, we will provide them with travel expenses to go home."

"We seized 7,419 horses, 1,728 cattle, 20,000 sheep, 5,200 pigs, chickens, ducks and geese."

"Huh?" Chen Ran was surprised. "I know that cattle and horses are used for riding and dragging, and sheep and pigs are used for eating. But who would bring chickens, ducks, and geese with them when marching to war?"

"According to the prisoners, these chickens, ducks and geese were all looted and eaten along the way, and used as a snack for the soldiers."

Hu Cheng explained, "The Western Army robbed whatever they saw along the way, not just chickens, ducks, and geese, but also oxen, sheep, pigs, and even dogs."

The main source of meat in the Song Dynasty was mutton.

Of course, only middle-class households and above can afford it.

Even the officials of Bianliang City raised sheep on a large scale in Guanzhong in order to eat mutton, which caused serious environmental disasters.

If the pasture for raising sheep is used to raise horses, it can only be said that the officials and literati of the Song Dynasty paid more attention to their own life tastes than to military and national affairs.

Ordinary people mainly ate pigs, dogs, chickens, ducks and geese, and it was rare for them to have a meal.

As for beef, killing cattle was illegal in the Song Dynasty, or in other words, killing such important means of production was illegal in any dynasty during the farming era.

However, eating beef was not illegal in the Song Dynasty, so in film and television dramas, the phrase "Waiter, cut two pounds of beef~" was not exaggerated. No one would ask where the beef came from, as everyone knew it.

"Leave the mothers behind and bring them back to Bianliang City to distribute as much as possible." Chen Ran instructed, "The rest should all be used as food for the army and as rewards for the soldiers."

"There are more than a thousand injured and dead horses." Hu Cheng added, "Many of the injured horses have broken hooves and can no longer be used."

"pity."

Chen Ran looked a little regretful. "Then let's eat horse meat first."

Horse meat has very coarse fibers and tastes slightly sour. But it is meat after all. Chen Ran took out the spices he got as a reward and told them to use more salt. For the soldiers in Bianliang City who rarely ate meat before joining Chen Ran's army, it was better to have some than nothing.

"We captured 713 artisans, blacksmiths, carpenters, 24 cooks and musicians, and 38 dancers."

"Hmm?" Chen Ran looked up from the account book. "What a way to enjoy life. How can a general fight a war when he brings his daughter into the camp?"

"Your Majesty is right." Hu Cheng nodded repeatedly, "So the Western bandits are no match for Your Majesty."

"Captured weapons, armor, flags, drums, carriages, tents, and cauldrons."

"We seized official seals, ceremonial weapons, documents, official uniforms, flags, and five-element flags."

"We seized gold, silver, coins, silk, pens, ink, paper and inkstones."

"We seized furniture, paintings, antiques, gold and stone, and jewelry."

"Seized salt, cured meat, spices, pickles, salted fish, rice, noodles, oil"

"We seized all kinds of finished medicines, ginseng, wound medicine, and Zhuge's marching powder."

“Captured.”

The Western Army, which was blocked by the river, was basically wiped out in one battle and was swallowed up by Chen Ran.

The supplies they carried naturally became Chen Ran's spoils of war.

The various supplies an army possesses are beyond imagination.

There is nothing that is not available in the military, except what you can't think of.

The only point about the Western Army that was worthy of Chen Ran's approval was that they did not abduct women on a large scale and bring them into the camp for pleasure, which was the last bit of bottom line before they fell into the Beast Army.

However, they had committed many evil things in the southeast and Huaixi before, so they should be punished.

"Don't rush back to Bianliang City." Putting down the thick account book in his hand, Chen Ran instructed, "Except for Tong Guan and the commanders of the various units of the Western Army and the generals above them, who will be brought back to Bianliang City for interrogation and execution, all the prisoners of war above the rank of captain and below the rank of commander should be found and executed."

Hu Cheng hurriedly bowed and said, "I obey your command."

He knew that most of these captains and commanders had participated in the looting. He couldn't say that all of them were guilty, but at least nine out of ten deserved to die.

However, the Western Army is so powerful, but the king has no intention of incorporating them into his army. Instead, he wants to kill the generals at all levels first. How can he win the hearts of the soldiers if he is so ruthless?
What Hu Cheng didn't expect was that what he thought was cruel was just an appetizer, the real thing was still to come.

"Please wait for the screening and interrogation. All the soldiers below the captain level will be executed first!"
