Chapter Seventy-Five: The Night Battle (III
The Turkic general, who had been thrown to the ground, heard the sound of their horses' hooves moving away, cursed, got up from the cold ground in anger, and spat fiercely in the direction where the two were far away.
The cold moon is in the sky, and the cold is even deeper, and when the night wind blows, it is cool and tight below. He shivered, subconsciously stretched out his hands in a hurry, covered the key parts, and then looked around in a panic. After confirming that there was no one else but him, he took off his shirt and tied it around his waist to cover his shame, and then jogged towards the battlefield with a depressed iron fist.
After leaving the Turkic generals behind, Chen Chao and Yu Tao ran two miles away in one breath before stopping.
Yu Tao was surprised: "Why didn't you see all the soldiers all the way?" ”
Chen Chao said: "You will see strange talents on this road. I didn't pay attention to the way I just now, but if you look closely, this is the way of escape that we specially left for the Turkic army. ”
Yu Tao looked back and forth through the moonlight, and nodded clearly: "No wonder." By the way, did you just see the fireworks on your defensive line? ”
Chen Chao shook his head and said, "No, I guess the brothers will fight with the Turkic army again." ”
Yu Tao turned his horse's head and said, "Then what are you still doing in a daze, go quickly!" They must be waiting for a signal! ”
So, the two urged their horses to whip up and rushed towards the battlefield.
Coming to the rear of the fifth trench of the second line of defense, Chen Chao shouted loudly: "Where is the dynasty? Where are the messengers? ”
The adjutant general, Wang Chao, who was fighting to the death with a Turkic fierce general in front, didn't have the energy to pay attention to the familiar voice in the rear.
The messenger soldier carried a double knife, panted and ran to Chen Chao's horse, knelt down and said, "Zhou Yan of the letter battalion knocks on the general!" Seeing that everyone was fighting bravely to kill the enemy, he, the idle runner, couldn't bear it anymore, so he went forward and picked up two quick knives and slashed them indiscriminately.
Chen Chao said: "Go back immediately and report to the marshal, and the soldiers of the second line of defense will retreat on all fronts." ”
Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment, and said secretly: It was only a little more than half an hour before you retreated, no wonder you always lined up behind the Yu master general. "Subordinates obey!"
Chen Chao hadn't seen the dynasty for a long time, so he directly hit his horse and galloped to the signal transmitter and said to the ten soldiers: "Send a signal to the soldiers, quickly!" ”
Ten soldiers waiting for orders said in unison: "Yes! After answering the call, the fuses of twenty fireworks were quickly lit!
Soon, the night sky bloomed with dazzling flowers, illuminating the battlefield of light and shadow.
After seeing the signal, the Zhenxi army fought and retreated, and after the wounded soldiers were carried to the rear, they quickly ignited the fifth trench that had not yet been filled, and then retreated quickly and orderly.
Yu Tao rode to Chen Chao's side and said: "I didn't expect you to retreat as soon as you came, I saw you unhurried before, I thought you would hold out for at least half an hour." "This guy is getting a little hard for him to figure out.
Chen Chao said: "If you see it, you will accept it, and let these remaining Turkic wolves rush to Zuo Deyuan to be hedgehogs." Even without asking his subordinates, he was able to estimate the damage on both sides.
As soon as the two of them turned their horses' heads and took a few steps, Wang Chao dragged his injured left leg and limped in front of them.
Wang Chao reluctantly knelt down and hugged his fists and said: "The dynasty is late for the order, I hope the general will forgive his sins!" ”
Chen Chao looked at his legs and twisted his eyebrows and said, "How are the legs?" ”
Wang Chao saw that the general not only did not blame himself, but cared about his leg injury, his heart was hot, his eyes were red, and the tears of the tough guy rolled out. "General Xie cares...... He was slashed twice by those kings and calves...... Out of the way. His voice trembled with emotion, and his words choked!
Chen Chao said: "Hurry up and go down and bandage it." By the way, why didn't you see the other generals? "Could it be...... Are they all loyal martyrs?? His heart tightened.
As soon as he finished speaking, six ragged generals rode over. "General!"
Chen Chao saw that their new black clothes had turned into beggars' clothes, and said, "Why are your clothes so tattered? ”
The partial general Shen Mulin said: "I was cut by the Turkic scimitar, thanks to the fact that we are not afraid of the heat and wear thick clothes, otherwise we will be the same as Deputy General Wang." With that, the six of them burst out laughing.
Chen Chao was relieved to hear that everyone was fine. "How many enemies have we killed and how many soldiers have we lost?"
Adjutant General Xiang Chengdao: "At least 5,000 enemy troops were buried in the five trenches, and about 20,000 enemies were killed and about 6,000 soldiers were lost. ”
Yu Tao turned his head to Chen Chao and said, "Your kid has a good record, brother, I fought for nearly an hour in front of me to kill about 15,000 enemies." "People do more with less, and this time it's his turn to be envious and jealous of others.
Chen Chao said: "Don't be sour, it's just a few more mouthfuls of leftovers from you." Let's go, go to Zuo Deyuan for tea! ”
Inside the military aircraft tent
Han Xiu looked at Feng'er who was sleeping on the table, and gently pulled the cloak that covered her back, his eyes full of pity and pampering.
Shangguan Fei and Shangguan Yun were pacing back and forth with their hands behind their backs, and the Wind Sky Wolf looked out of the tent from time to time, and the three of them were anxiously waiting for the latest battle news.
"Report-" Zhou Yan, the messenger, said loudly outside the tent.
I was having a spring dream of pounced on Xiuxiu, and suddenly I was awakened by a thunderbolt, and when I looked up and opened my eyes, it turned out to be a messenger who came to report.
Shangguan Fei turned around and said, "Come in!" ”
Zhou Yan knelt down and said: "Report to the general, General Chen Chao ordered his subordinates to come down and tell the general, and the soldiers of the second line of defense retreated." ”
Shangguan Fei narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "How many enemies have the soldiers of the second line of defense killed and how many soldiers have been lost?" ”
Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment and said truthfully: "Unknown." ”
Unknown?? What kind of answer is that??? Shangguan Fei frowned and said in a deep voice: "Did you forget to count, or did everyone who counted die in battle?" ”
Seeing Shangguan Fei's anger, Zhou Yan trembled and said: "It was General Chen Chao who did not inform his subordinates, but according to the situation at the scene, the enemy suffered countless casualties, and our army's casualties were not very large. ”
Zhou Yan's words made Shangguan Fei feel at ease a little. "Let's go down!"
After the messenger retreated, I said: "Instead of being in a hurry here, it is better to go to the third line of defense, anyway, it is only two miles, and it will only take a pillar of incense to go on horseback." "With such a wonderful night battle, how can you not join in the fun?
Seeing that Feng'er seemed to want to go to the battlefield, Fengtian Wolf said with a worried face: "Feng'er, don't go, there are guns and arrows on the battlefield, swords have no eyes, and life and death are only one step away...... "It is a Shura field and slaughterhouse full of blood and corpses."
As he was talking, suddenly a voice came from outside the tent. "General Yu Tao's subordinate general Liu Liang, begging to see the general!"
Shangguan Fei was slightly shocked in his heart and said, "Come in!" ”
Liu Liang pressed the injury on his waist, moved in with a limp, and was about to kneel, Shangguan Fei stretched out his hand to stop him: "Don't kneel, what's the matter with me?" "He must have just changed his clothes, and he looked like he was seriously injured.
Liu Liang hugged his fists and said, "General Xie is considerate!" Before leaving in the evening, General Yu specially ordered us to bring some pepper powder, chili powder, and white flour with each of us, and ordered us to sprinkle these powders on the enemy if we were wounded and couldn't keep up with everyone when we retreated, and then pretended to be dead. ”
Good boy, his head is quite bright. Shangguan Fei raised his eyebrows, and said with surprise in his eyes: "How many people came back with you?" "Before, the messengers came to report that the first line of defense had lost about 4,000 soldiers, I wonder how much this number will decrease?
Liu Liang said: "One thousand one hundred and twenty-three." ”
As soon as he heard this number, Shangguan Fei's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Okay!" You go down first. ”
Liu nodded and stepped back.
I clapped my hands and said, "Draw inferences and be improvised, these soldiers of yours will like me!" "The child can be taught, I can't imagine that Yu Tao, this kid, is quite creative thinking.
Han Xiu said: "It's really admirable to save so many people in one plan. ”
Feng Tianwolf looked at Feng'er and said with a smile: "Big brother, the originator of this large-scale use of pretending to be dead is by your side, if you want to admire, you can admire the one next to you." ”
Shangguan Yun put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Miss Qin's plan to pretend to be dead so popular with the soldiers." "This girl is amazing!
I laughed and said, "I didn't expect people to give me face like this." Brother Xiu, I'm going to the third line of defense! I swerved.
Han Xiu looked at Feng'er, nodded and smiled, "I'll accompany Feng'er." ”
The wolf bounced out of his chair. "Feng'er, big brother, you have to think twice, it's a battlefield, not a casino, a happy scene."
Are both of them crazy?
Shangguan Fei pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go too!" ”
Feng Tian Wolf hurriedly turned to Shangguan Fei and said, "Fei, you are confused, how can you let Feng'er go to such a dangerous place??? ”
Seeing that his son was so active, Shangguan Yun hurriedly smiled approvingly at him, and sent him a message with a flying eye: Go, dad supports you.
I snapped my fingers and said, "Okay, let's go!" After speaking, I got up and took Brother Xiu's hand and walked out of the tent.
Seeing that the three of them were ignoring him, the wind wolf ignored him, and walked out with a swagger, angry and anxious. He hurried to the door, pulled his neck and said, "Hey, wait for me-"!
