My father, King Chu, was besieged at Gaixia

Chapter 53 Battle Distribution
Under the charge of 4,000 cavalry led by Yu Hai and the burning of the fire, the rear of the Han army completely collapsed. The soldiers who were lucky enough to survive fled in all directions, and those who had no time to escape or had no way to escape had to kneel down and surrender.

The cavalry under Yu Hai also divided into several groups, some of which chased down the deserters, while others stayed in the camp to continue eliminating the surrendered soldiers.

These Chu cavalry attacked, killed and destroyed without anyone stopping them, and they cleaned up the battlefield after the war in a rough and brutal manner, acting completely recklessly. Even after some Han troops knelt down in surrender, they still trampled over them and slaughtered them at will.

After dealing with Xiang Ju, Xiang Chang looked around and frowned when he saw the scene. He immediately ordered Xiang Ju to lead his clan members, generals, and guards to gather the surrendered soldiers, put out the fire, and clean up the battlefield. He did not say a word to the cavalry who were like ferocious beasts and slaughtered the surrendered soldiers wantonly. He personally stepped forward and shouted at them, forcing them to restrain themselves.

A general was in the mood to kill, and was furious when he was scolded. Seeing that Xiang Chang was only a teenager, he looked down on him even more. He pointed his bloody spear and said, "You little brat, why are you making a fuss here? I'll kill you with one shot!"

At this time, a soldier recognized Xiang Chang, and hurried forward to grab the general and whispered something to him.

The cavalry general's arrogance suddenly disappeared. He shrank his neck, turned around and left. He really did not dare to continue slaughtering the surrendered troops.

The cavalry general behind him gave Xiang Chang a humble smile, then called on his soldiers to start cleaning the battlefield according to Xiang Chang's arrangements.

Many of these Chu cavalrymen now knew Xiang Chang's identity. They knew that they had won such a great victory today with extremely low casualties, thanks primarily to the eldest son of the Chu army. He first went deep into the Han army's rear alone and successfully located Liu Bang's central army camp, allowing them to implement their heart-to-heart tactics. Secondly, he drove the fire bull formation to attack Liu Bang's central army first, frightening Liu Bang so much that he fled in panic, which directly led to the collapse of the Han army's rear army and made their surprise attack extremely easy.

Otherwise, even if they win, it will be extremely difficult. It is not known how many of the 5,000 cavalrymen will survive the battle!

Therefore, no one dared to disobey his strict order for a while.

Seeing that his order was conveyed smoothly, the Chu army began to drive the prisoners who had been stripped of their weapons together for custody, and put out fires, and counted and collected military supplies such as weapons, armor, flags, food, and fodder. Only then did Xiang Chang truly relax and stand on a small hill to rest.

It was not until this moment that Xiang Chang's nerves, which had been as tense as iron wires since the time travel, finally relaxed. He felt a huge wave of fatigue sweeping over him, and he wished he could fall asleep immediately.

He knew that now was not a good time to rest, so he stood on a small mound, stuck the halberd into the ground, leaned his back against the halberd, and took a short rest.

At this time, Yu Hai, who was chasing the fleeing army, returned on horseback and saw the cavalry soldiers methodically checking the battlefield, putting out the fire, and escorting the prisoners. He could not help but be surprised. He asked the generals and heard that it was arranged by Master Xiang Chang, so he hurriedly rode to meet them.

When he reached the foot of the mound, he jumped off his horse and was about to step forward to greet him when he heard Xiang Chang's hearty and friendly laugh:
"But General Yu Hai? You just defeated the rear of the Han army and won such a great victory. You have made great contributions. Please accept Xiang Chang's greetings!"

Hearing this, Yu Hai was surprised and delighted for a moment, not expecting Xiang Chang to be so affectionate and respectful to him.

Yu Hai was foul-mouthed behind his back, and seemed to look down on Xiang Chang, a teenager, but when he met him in person, he was in awe. Xiang Chang was born into an aristocratic family of the old Chu, and he was the eldest son of the Great Chu. His status was extremely noble, how could a peasant like him compare to him? Moreover, he had bravely penetrated the enemy's territory today and made the first contribution in destroying the rear of the Han army.

For these brave warriors who have emerged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood, the military merits gained by fighting with swords and guns are undoubtedly the most valued and recognized by them!
Xiang Chang walked down the hill quickly, held Yu Hai's hands and shook them vigorously:

"Today in the camp of the King of Jiujiang, the general turned the tide, confronted Lu Matong, and thwarted Liu Bang's plot to seize the military power of the King of Jiujiang. He made great contributions. He is truly a loyal and devoted general to the King of Jiujiang."

After a pause, Xiang Chang said with emotion:
"From my observation, most of the generals who are good at flattery and boastful are just empty-headed and incompetent! Only a general like General Yu Hai who is not good at speaking and is straightforward and doesn't have so many flowery tricks has real talent and knowledge like a rock! Just now, as expected, General Yu Hai is an experienced general, and his invasion is like wildfire, unstoppable. The 60,000 Han troops collapsed at the first touch. I think he is no less than my father and the King of Jiujiang!"

"With such merit, the King of Jiujiang will certainly be generous with his rewards. General Yu Hai has a promising future. The eighteen princes that my father bestowed upon him have almost all been poisoned by old Liu Bang, and many thrones are vacant. I'm afraid one of them will fall to General Yu Hai, hahahaha..."

Yu Hai was a rough man, and when the eldest son of the Overlord shook his arm to show his approval, he opened his mouth for a moment, completely speechless. He only felt that the ones who gave birth to me were my parents, and the one who understood me was Master Xiang Chang!

At this time, dozens of soldiers, carrying a dozen large wooden boxes and using ox carts to carry a dozen frightened girls who were trembling like quails and looked pitiful, walked to the foot of the mound.

A general stepped forward and whispered something in Yu Hai's ear. Yu Hai's eyes flashed with embarrassment, and he forced a smile and said to Xiang Chang, "Young Master, the soldiers just cleaned up the battlefield and gained a lot. You have made great contributions in this battle. Here are a thousand kilograms of gold and twelve women. They are your share of the spoils."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Gou and other soldiers standing behind Xiang Chang were overjoyed and were about to step forward to receive it.

Xiang Chang sneered in his heart. Liu Bang and his trusted ministers fled in a hurry. They did not have time to take away all the accumulations in recent years, which were left in the tents of a dozen white camels. The gold alone must have been at least tens of thousands of kilograms. The beauties, brocades, pearls, and coins were probably countless. Now they took out only a few of them. It was like sending away a beggar!

Xiang Chang raised his lips, not even looking at the dozen boxes of gold, and said calmly: "General Yu Hai is thoughtful! I would like to ask General Yu Hai for a favor, I wonder if General Yu Hai can agree to it?"

Seeing that Xiang Chang did not seem to be annoyed, Yu Hai felt relieved and said hurriedly, "Master, please give me your orders."

Xiang Chang sighed, looked up at the bodies of the Jiujiang King Cavalry soldiers who had died on the charge just now and were now being collected and buried by their comrades, and said solemnly:
"The soldiers who attacked Liu Bang's Han army today are all good men of our Great Chu! The King of Jiujiang will surely reward those who are lucky enough to survive. As for the dead soldiers, I would like to ask General Yu Hai to evenly distribute these dozen boxes of gold to their families. They all have parents, wives, and children. This wealth will surely help their families a little, so that when they return to the underworld, they will not worry about their living relatives who have lost their support, and they can go with peace of mind."
