Chapter 227 Cannibalism
In the afternoon, the sun slanted to the west. In Wuxi County, [-] Sui troops and [-] rebels lined up outside the city, and the war was about to break out.

Shi Wansui stood on the horse, he clenched the horse's spear, and licked his lips excitedly, waiting for Cui Che's order, he would lead the front army to disperse the mob on the opposite side.

However, he did not wait for Cui Che to give the order for the front army to attack, but instead sent an order for the cavalry to gallop back and forth in the formation, shouting:

"Duke Yan issued an order, and the whole army shouted: 'If you turn your back on the front line and behead one level, you can avoid death; if you are stubborn, you will harm your wife and children!'"

Shi Wansui was dumbfounded upon hearing this.

In fact, Cui Che already had a certain chance of winning by forcing the rebels out of Wuxi City and fighting the Sui army.

The Sui army was far superior to the rebel army in terms of quantity and quality.

What's more, Gu Ziyuan was used before to make the rebels mistakenly believe that Gao Zhihui and Wang Wenjin were defeated, which lowered their morale.

But Cui Che's move really made the Sui army's victory a certainty.

When the [-] Sui troops shouted in unison:
"If you defect before the battle and behead one level, you can avoid death; if you are stubborn, you will harm your wife and children!"

The morale that Shen Xuanzhang had managed to arouse collapsed in an instant.

The rebel soldiers found that they not only had to fight to the death with the Sui army, but also had to guard against their comrades.

If one is not careful, someone will have to borrow his head and ask the Sui army for credit.

How can we fight this battle!
The Sui army chanted slogans to make the rebels defect, and approached step by step, and the shouts became more and more deafening.

Seeing the mutual suspicion among the soldiers, Lu Mengsun knew that the battle was a complete defeat, so he raised his arms and shouted:
"The reinforcements have already been defeated. Shen Xuanyu wanted to deceive everyone and killed Gu Ziyuan unjustly. He is cruel and inhumane. Why should we die for him!

"Those who want to save their wives and children, follow me to fight back!"

All the soldiers under his command responded and followed him to attack Shen Xuan's Chinese army.

Lu Mengsun's defection was the first domino to be overthrown, and Ye Lue and Gu Shixing turned back one after another.

The middle army of the rebel army was surrounded by siege from three sides, Shen Xuanzhe gritted his teeth, veins popped up on his forehead, and said in hatred:

"I should have killed the three of them long ago!"

Shen Jie, his confidant general, persuaded him:

"Your Majesty, the matter has come to this point, it is useless to talk more, let's find a way to break through."

Shen Xuandi refused to admit defeat. He felt that he still had 3 people in the Chinese army, and he could fight.

However, Lu Mengsun, Ye Lue, Gu Shixing and others all shouted:

"The reinforcements have been defeated! Villagers! Don't be deceived by Shen Xuanzhang again, and die for him for nothing!!"

All of a sudden, the turmoil spread to the Chinese army, and more and more soldiers of the Chinese army turned their swords and slashed at their former comrades.

Seeing this scene, Shen Xuan's eyes were tearing, and without Shen Jie's further persuasion, he got on his horse and was about to run away, but the Sui army cavalry on both wings had already rushed over.

Yu Juluo held up the long spear and went straight to Shen Xuanzhang.

Seeing the double pupils, Shen Xuanxuan remembered what Gu Shixing said, that Bao Qian was cut off from his horse when he failed to catch this person.

Although Gu Shixing scolded Bao Qian for being an idiot, his martial prowess was recognized as the number one among the small rebel gang in Suzhou. Otherwise, Gu Shixing would not have allowed him to go out to fight in Jinling City that day.

Seeing this general with double pupils coming towards him now, Shen Xuanxuan was heartbroken and said in horror:

"Quickly stop this person!"

The generals under his command, Shen Neng and Shen Xue, heard the words and rushed to meet the enemy.

Shen Xuanzhen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the two fell off the horse, and the double-eyed general rushed out from between the two, blood spattered on his face, like a demon king in the world.

"Come on!"

Shen Jie shouted, after finishing speaking, he took out the short dagger and stabbed Shen Xuan's horse in the buttocks, causing the horse to gallop in pain.

Shen Xuanzhang looked back, only to see Shen Jie being lifted up by Yu Juluo, falling to the ground and being trampled into a pulp.

Outside the city of Wuxi, the rebels no longer distinguished themselves from the enemy.

Because Cui Che clearly stated that one level of beheading is required to avoid death and save his wife and daughter from misfortune.

In order to snatch a head, the rebels fought. At first, Lu Mengsun's, Gu Shixing's and Ye Lue's troops attacked Shen Xuan's.

As the soldiers under Shen Xuan's command defected together, the four divisions started a scuffle.

They don't care whether the other party has defected or not, they only know that they need a head to save their lives and their families.

This melee did not end until the Sui army intervened and took control of the situation.

The 1 rebels went through a brutal massacre, and only [-] were left standing.

On the battlefield, wreckage is everywhere, and the sound of wailing can be heard endlessly.

In the end, Shen Xuandi was still unable to escape from the battlefield, so he rushed out of the rebellious army, bumped into Zhang Wu head-on, and was captured alive by him.

Zhang Wu brought Shen Xuanzhang to Cui Che and threw him on the ground.

Shen Xuan cried out in pain, but when he raised his head and saw Gu Shixing, Ye Lue, and Lu Mengsun who were kneeling on the ground, he already ignored the pain and struggled to get up, biting the three of them.

But Cui Che's guards held him tightly.

Cui Che said calmly:
"Where is Gu Ziyuan?"

As soon as these words came out, not only the three of Lu Mengsun, but even the struggling Shen Xuanzhang stared at Cui Che with wide eyes.

Cui Che frowned and said displeasedly:
"Where is Gu Ziyuan?"

The four of them finally understood that it turned out that Gu Ziyuan was really an internal response, and it was really unfair to lose this battle.

As the chief culprit, Shen Xuanzhang pretended to be the emperor, and knew that he would surely die, so he said with a grinning grin:

"It has died by my hands!"

Cui Che was too lazy to quarrel with a mortal man, he looked at Lu Mengsun, Ye Lue, and Gu Shixing who were kneeling on the ground, and said in a deep voice:

"Where is the body?"

The three said in unison:
"It's in the city!"

When the rebels outside the city were killing each other, the guards of Wuxi County had surrendered.

Cui Che ordered people to go into the city to find Gu Ziyuan's body, and Huangfu Ji lay down and cried loudly.

Cui Che said to himself:
"I will not break my promise. Rest in peace. I will leave the future I promised you to your son."

He squatted down and closed Gu Ziyuan's wide eyes.

Then he said to Huangfu:

"I also ask Inspector Huangfu to bury him honorably."

Huangfu Ji nodded with tears in his eyes, and agreed to this matter.

Cui Che also ordered to cut off all the noses of the rebels who died in this battle. There were nearly [-] of them in total, and they were loaded into dozens of trucks.

The reason why there were so many dead in this battle was that the rebels did not flee, but chose to kill their comrades to save themselves from death.

If you want to escape, where can you escape? If you can escape yourself, how can your wife and children escape as well.

Since then, Shen Xuan's tribe, one of the three major rebels in the south of the Yangtze River, has been completely wiped out.

Yang Guang came behind Cui Che at some point, and he said with emotion:

"Zicheng has no money left behind for the dead arrow, but he awarded the head of [-] rebels. It really opened my eyes."

Yu Juluo also sighed in his heart:

"The way to use soldiers is to attack the mind as the top, and attack the city as the bottom; to fight with the heart is the top, and to fight with soldiers is the bottom."

'When it comes to heart warfare, no one in the world can surpass Yan Gong. '
