Su Chen commanded the army to attack Pan Mei's army in a rhythmic and orderly manner.

He didn't have a horse in front of him. He took the lead in charging into the battle like in the novel. After all, it was a novel.

As a commander, you cannot really rush out, but sit in the rear and be responsible for commanding the overall situation.

When charging into battle, the tiger generals are fierce generals and lead their troops to kill. However, they will not be alone in the front, and they can easily be shot into hedgehogs by arrows.

At this time, Su Chen was sitting at the rear, waving the command flag, and the generals and princes saw the command flag, the sound of drums, the sound of gongs, and the sound of arrows, and launched an attack.

"Kill--"

"Capture Pan Mei alive!"

The 20,000 Shence troops were divided into five groups and charged continuously, fighting together with Pan Mei's Song army.

Dang Dang Dang!

Weapons clash, hand-to-hand combat.

At this time, the combat power of the Shence Army became apparent, because the Wu Dao they held was modified from the Qi Family Dao. In a hand-to-hand encounter, both in terms of sharpness and ease of use, it was stronger than the Song Army's Hongying Spear and Hand Dao.

.

The hand knife is the only short sword among the "Eight Colors of Knives" in the Song Dynasty. It is called "hand knife" because it can be used with one hand.

This kind of knife was widely equipped in the Song army. It was the standard military knife of the Song Dynasty. It was used for both combat and execution. It was actively used on the battlefield and execution ground.

But this kind of hand knife is much inferior to the Qi family knife. It is not sharp enough and the material is not good. When the fight started, the red tassel gun or the hand knife in Song Jun's hand were soon cut off by the Shence Army's knife hand.

arms.

Originally, the soldiers had similar abilities, but the superior weapons and equipment instantly affected their combat effectiveness.

Puff puff!

The soldiers of the Shence Army wielded their long swords and killed many soldiers of the Song Army.

After this encounter, the Song army began to collapse.

Although they were brave and skilled in fighting in the north, they felt extremely frustrated at this time. Because their weapons did not have the advantage and they were ambushed, their morale had been dispersed. Now that they were resisting hard, they were frustrated again and could only retreat.

Soon, several groups of soldiers and horses, led by Du Yuhou, dispersed the large Song army. After cutting up, there were only a few hundred soldiers left around Pan Mei.

"Protect Pan Shuai and break out from behind!"

The bodyguard army was led by Marquis Yu, who was leading the people to protect Pan Mei and was about to break out of the encirclement and escape.

But at this moment, Su Chen no longer waited, but personally led his troops to kill him.

Now that all the soldiers and horses were involved in the melee, there was no need to command anymore. He freed up his hands and led the troops to the end personally.

"Qiang!"

Su Chen pulled out his long-handled sword and charged forward, leading thousands of elite soldiers towards Pan Mei's position.

"Crack!"

Horse hooves trampled on them, charging straight into Pan Mei's personal bodyguards.

"Pan Mei, where are you going?"

Su Chen led his troops to charge. The Shence army was very brave and broke through the defense in an instant, and soon came to Pan Mei.

This Pan Mei has reached middle age. Although he has some martial arts skills, his personal martial arts skills are not high. His strength lies in the formation of troops and he is a good commander.

Therefore, Su Chen ordered that if he could be captured alive, he should be captured alive. If he could not be captured alive, then he should be killed.

At this time, Pan Mei and dozens of guards were trapped within Su Chen's siege.

"My life is at stake!" Seeing this, Pan Mei looked up to the sky and sighed, pulled out her sword, and was about to kill herself.

However, soldiers from the Shence Army rushed over, knocked down Pan Mei, and captured him alive.

This battle lasted from dusk to dawn the next day, and then the battle ended. Within twenty miles, corpses were everywhere.

Of the 50,000-strong Song army, more than 30,000 people were killed here, some were captured, and thousands fled.

Pan Mei was captured alive and brought to Su Chen.

"Are you Pan Mei, the famous general of the Song Army?"

When Su Chen was sent out of Jinling by Li Yu, the Song army had not yet arrived at Jinling City, so Su Chen had not seen Cao Bin and Pan Mei.

Pan Mei was tied up with a rope and looked up at Su Chen, a young general whom he didn't recognize. He was very curious about who the young general who defeated him today was. He was so flexible and skillful in planning and arranging his troops that even an old man like him was fooled.

"Who are you?" Pan Mei asked.

"My name is Su Chen, with the courtesy name Yixuan. I wonder if General Pan has heard of it!"

Pan Mei was shocked: "What? Are you Su Chen and Su Yixuan? That Jiang Zuo Su Lang?"

"It's me!" Su Chen nodded.

"Didn't something happen to you in Yangzhou?" Pan Mei asked doubtfully.

Su Chen smiled slightly and said: "There was indeed someone who wanted to assassinate me, but I escaped. I took the opportunity to escape far away and avoid the disaster."

Pan Mei thought for a moment, seemed to have figured out the trick here, and smiled coldly: "Everyone in the world has been deceived by you. You are worthy of being Jiangzuo Sulang. He is unparalleled in wisdom and scheming, and his reputation is well-deserved."

Su Chen said: "General Pan is a famous general in the Northern Song Dynasty. Now he is in my hands. I can't bear to harm you. I haven't figured out how to deal with it for the time being, so I have temporarily wronged you and put you under house arrest. If we have the opportunity, we can also talk about the art of war.

When there is a major event in the world, when someone comes, take it with them and do not cause harm or make things difficult."

"I have the order!" A captain stepped forward and led others to take Pan Mei down and put her under guard.

Su Chen intended to conquer Pan Mei, but this could not be achieved in the short term. He had no time to waste here, so he immediately reorganized his troops and met with Lu Jiang and Tao Ze.

"General Lu, you're fine!"

"Haha, General Su, we meet again." Lu Jiang was very happy. He had been sad for a long time when he learned that Su Chen was sent to the Northern Song Dynasty and was killed in Yangzhou.

I thought that we would meet again in the underworld, but I didn't expect that Su Chen would appear again.

Su Chen said: "Without further delay, we quickly lead the troops to kill Shezhou, seize the city, and then drive away the Song army!"

Lu Jiang said: "Okay, currently there are only 5,000 Song troops stationed in Shezhou, and there is no food in the city. They are hidden by us. There are some Song troops inside and outside the city, but they are not completely settled yet. We can defeat them in one fell swoop!"

The two armies combined, totaling 60,000 people, marched towards Shezhou.

Bao Zhifei, Marquis of Duyu, led 3,000 men to take care of the battlefield, transport the wounded, and dispose of the dead.

The corpses on these battlefields need to be gathered together for cremation and buried in mass graves. Otherwise, it will easily cause plague and have a negative impact on the health of the local people. Therefore, after the battle, the victor will simply dispose of the dead bodies.

As Su Chen and Lu Jiang's army arrived at Shezhou City, after hearing the news, Song Army general Li Hanqiong led his troops to retreat, not daring to hold on any longer.

Because he only had a few thousand soldiers and horses, and Shezhou City had just been acquired, and the environment inside the city was unfamiliar. If there were many secret spies and rebels hiding, and the army and the people mutinied, and attacked the city gate together, and cooperated inside and outside, the city would be easily broken quickly.

Li Hanqiong did not dare to stay and rushed towards the northern city of Jinling with several thousand remaining soldiers.

In this way, Su Chen and Lu Jiang's army effortlessly recaptured Shezhou City.

With this victory over the Song army, Su Chen's prestige increased again. In the Shezhou area, he obtained a lot of the Song army's baggage, which he began to reorganize and reorganize, turning it into fodder for his own army.

Lu Jiang and Tao Ze also expressed their willingness to join the State of Wu and become its ministers and generals.

Su Chen smiled and said: "Okay, I will accept the two of you and the officers and men under my command on behalf of the imperial court. Soon, the imperial court will send an appointment order, which is justifiable."

Lu Jiang said happily: "Great! Now that the Southern Tang Dynasty has been destroyed, there are still more than a dozen states that have not been conquered by the Song army. It just so happens that we can write letters to the garrison generals, governors, prefects, etc. of each city to join the Wu Kingdom and expel them.

Song Army, in this way, Wu's power will greatly increase and it will be able to compete with the Song Dynasty in Jiangbei."
