Reinforcements arrived, and the exhausted soldiers of the 13th Battalion protected Zhang Xing, who was seriously injured and abandoned his sword, in the middle, and instead of besieging and killing, the Chu army retreated. Shao Jiu led the army to turn over and dismount and break into the circle, helped Zhang Xing up and said, "Zhang Xing, Zhang Xing." ”

Seeing Shao Jiu's appearance, Zhang Xing's tense heartstrings suddenly relaxed, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Jiu, go and help the general, leave me alone." ”

Several times in a row, Zhang Xing pushed Shao Jiu lifted the spear, and ordered the soldiers to take care of this group of soldiers who had just died, and Ze turned over his horse and led an archer to gallop on horseback. The wealth of the thirteenth battalion is far above the major military camps, and although the income from the business has been small in recent years, the family foundation that has been accumulated is still deep. After the first battle of Yima Pass, many soldiers were killed, but they were still able to maintain 3,000, and the number of war horses was far higher than the number of people. Shao Jiu threw the spear to the accompanying soldiers, lifted the three-stone hard bow and sent it out in the full moon.

Fang Tian's halberd seems to have the power of a thousand jun, although Liu Zhixing can use his internal strength, he is still not so powerful to resist. Just as Liu Zhixing was forcibly pressing Fang Tian's halberd, suddenly a powerful arrow flew over. Wu San thought about dodging, but was forcibly pulled by Liu Zhixing, and the arrow was stabbed in the shoulder. Suddenly, a team of white armor troops besieged him, and after a fierce battle, Wu Sansi finally opened a distance from Liu Zhixing.

Wu Sansi broke the arrow with all his strength, staring at the general who bent the bow again. The thirteenth battalion is full of talents, and this must be Shao Jiu, one of the thirteen generals. Wu Sansi reluctantly ordered: "The whole army retreats." "The main support of the thirteenth battalion, plus Uncle Zhou Ying, who personally led the people. Although this border army is not in the establishment of the Changfeng Army, it is also a team that should not be underestimated. Glancing back at Liu Zhixing, who was not chasing, he frowned and shouted loudly: "Liu Zhixing will kill you next time." ”

Chu Hanlin rode a white horse and looked at Liu Zhixing, who was covered in blood, and said, "General, are you okay?" ”

Shao Jiu put away his bow and carried a spear and asked, "Do you want to chase the general?" ”

Liu Zhixing gasped and fell off his horse and said, "No need to chase, not far ahead is the camp of the White Armor Army of the Chu Army." If you are a little careless in chasing after it now, it will not be good to trigger a second decisive battle between the two armies. As he spoke, he looked at Chu Hanlin with a lonely look in his eyes.

For this trip, Chu Hanlin persuaded him several times, and Zhang Xing also quarreled with Chu Hanlin for this reason. Liu Zhixing thinks that there is nothing wrong, but the man from Bashangzhuang is a person from Daliang. After Chu Hanlin's repeated interrogations, there was no mistake, and now which man is still in the thirteenth battalion barracks, and there is no vision.

Chu Hanlin helped Liu Zhixing up and said: "Wu Sansi is twenty-two years old, he has only been in the army for a year, and he has already occupied a place in the White Armor Army, and he is indeed an opponent that should not be underestimated. Eyeing the 13th Battalion, it seems that we are going to reorganize the border defense. ”

Lou raised his sleeves and wiped the blood on his face, Liu Zhixing took off his steel helmet and sat up and said: "Hanlin, this matter will be handed over to you, the combat power and equipment of the White Armor Army are no worse than the thirteenth battalion." The southward march of the army is bound to lead to a decisive battle with the Baijia army, and it is also a difficult task to get rid of the Baijia southward. ”

Shao Jiu only had a slight understanding of the conversation between the two, and if he arranged the troops, he would have some insights. However, we can only say that we have a little understanding of the strategic deployment between the two countries in the Great War. I was about to speak

Liu Zhixing suddenly got up, did not get on the horse, but ran in the direction of Zhang Xing.

has been breaking into the circle surrounded by war horses, looking at Zhang Xing, who was wrapped in the barracks. Liu Zhixing showed a trace of joy, only more than 50 people survived the 200 guards in this battle, and more than 100 people stayed here on the vast loess.

Zhang Xing, who squinted his eyes, said: "General, I'm sorry for the brothers, and I'm the most damned one." ”

Liu Zhixing tightly pulled his nervous hand and said: "Don't think too much, live well, only by living can you avenge your brothers." If you apologize for your crimes, brothers come to life, I will definitely cut off your head with my own hands. Take care of your injuries and don't think about it. ”

Seeing that Zhang Xing could still speak, Liu Zhixing breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the corpses of the dead soldiers of the thirteenth battalion, dragging his tired body, Liu Zhixing suddenly knelt down and kowtowed, and then clasped his hands into fists and said: "It's me Liu Zhixing, I'm sorry for you, I didn't die on the way south." As the main general, I made a mistake, and I will make up for the main brother's share when I go south. After speaking, he got up directly, without a little loss.

A middle-aged military general was dressed in black armor and had an extremely long black beard. Although the face has been polished by years and wind and sand, it looks a little rough, and the appearance is already handsome. There are few generals in the Great Liang Army who abandon literature to join the army, and this military general who was born in a scholarly family has reached his current position step by step by virtue of his military merits.

Liu Zhixing stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "Nephew, thank you Uncle Shi for saving me." ”

The middle-aged military general looked at the child who grew up watching him grow up, and gently patted him on the shoulder: "The good boy has the demeanor of your father, but this brain is not enough." Liu Zhixing slowly let go of his fists and looked at the elder with crooked eyes. When he was a child studying in Zhoufu, this uncle disliked Liu Zhixing the most, and felt that his lively nature was not the material for reading. It's just that the brain is good, and the poems and songs are remembered faster than other children.

In fact, the person who can't see Liu Zhixing's military service the most is not Mr. Zhou Wen, but Uncle Zhou Ying, who abandoned literature and joined the military. Liu Zhixing, who was supposed to join the Shi, in order to avoid marrying the royal family, ran from Taiping City to Nanjing and entered the Changfeng Army, and lived up to the old man's hard work.

Liu Zhixing said: "Calm down and think about it more, maybe you won't let so many soldiers die here, and I will go to Fenyang to ask for guilt when I go back." ”

Uncle Zhou Ying glanced at the direction of Wu Sansi's escape, and he didn't think about it in his heart, this time it was not the two armies fighting on the right track, but a killing game specially set up for Liu Zhixing. Just underestimate the combat power of the thirteenth battalion, this is indeed the best place to besiege Liu Zhixing, although it is not a canyon, the dam is built with its back against the Li River, which naturally forms a barrier. It is not so easy for Liu Zhixing to escape, and only such a plain will not make people think of a killing game.

Thinking of the young military general Zhou Yingshu who was injured and escaped, he couldn't help but marvel that none of the young people nowadays are simple. There is a Liu Zhixing in the Changfeng Army who does not follow the routine, and there is a Wu Sansi in the White Armor Army, and the two seem to be natural enemies. In the previous battles between the two armies, Zhou Yingshu clashed with him several times, and most of them ended in defeat, and Wu Sansi had a set of both individual combat power and the art of war. It is not a reckless man who dares to lead troops to fight after reading the art of war for a few years.

Looking at Liu Zhixing, who is not lightly injured now, he can still stand here and speak, without any sense of loss of defeat. Uncle Zhou Ying attaches more importance to these young people, perhaps young people like Liu Zhixing and Wu Sansi are born generals. It is different from the veteran who has been through a hundred battles and has accumulated experience in one battle after another. Every battle was unexpected, and the arrangement of troops was eclectic, and it cannot be said that this group of young people did not read the military books, but never used the art of war recorded in the military books. To put it mildly, it is just eclectic and arbitrary.

Helping Liu Zhixing brush his messy hair, Uncle Zhou Ying said: "Zhixing's matter should not be underestimated, where does the handsome need to ask for guilt, be sure to tell you in detail what happened here." Eastern Wu has destroyed Southern Chu and has not yet returned to the army, and there must be other big moves. During this time, stay in Lishui County and don't make any moves, waiting for military orders at any time. ”

Hearing the news that Dongwu had been destroyed, Liu Zhixing was stunned, it had only been a year, and his father had already destroyed Dongwu. Suddenly seemed to forget that he had just experienced a dangerous siege, stared at Uncle Zhou Ying and said, "Uncle Shi, you said that my father has captured Eastern Wu, is it not soon that we can go south." ”

Uncle Zhou Ying couldn't answer Liu Zhixing's question, and he couldn't answer it. This involved a wide range of people, and the destruction of the Eastern Wu War and the pacification of the southern army were indispensable. However, the loss of the Li clan in Huizhou was far greater than the gain of conquering a country. If the imperial court goes south, whether it wants to repeat the old tricks, the Huping Mengshi who are in the southern mirror, and the army in the hands of the Zhou clan are all consumed on the road to attack Southern Chu. Once a large number of new nobles will emerge in this way, where should the four great families go now?

If there is no Eastern Wu, there is no Huizhou Li clan on the border of Southern Chu, and the Huping Mengshi is still the only army in the hands of the Zhou clan, how should they deal with themselves. These are all things that need to be considered, rather than just thinking about making contributions like young people like Liu Zhixing. I'm afraid that Liu Zhixing didn't think about it at all, Liu Ce had already captured Eastern Wu, and if he destroyed Southern Chu again, he would be able to pacify the Northern Turks. It can be said that he is a high-ranking master, and which military general with high merit in the history of Daliang has a good end. It's just that it's useless to talk about these things with Liu Zhixing, things haven't reached any point, and it's useless to talk about more.

Uncle Zhou Ying and Liu Zhixing briefly talked about the current situation between the two countries, and Liu Zhixing suddenly became much clearer. There will inevitably be a battle in Daliang Nanchu, or a decisive battle with the strength of the country, but it is not certain when it will happen.

said: "Thank you Uncle Shi for your guidance, my nephew understands." ”

Holding the hilt of the sword, Uncle Zhou Ying glanced at the cleaned battlefield and said: "I don't care how the soldiers who died in the battle come out, after all, the villagers of Bashangzhuang died because of you. This point should be kept in mind, and this lesson will be engraved in your heart, as an uncle, I hope you will not have a next time. It is honor for soldiers to die in a hundred battles, and the people are nothing but victims of war. The army has had the custom of slaughtering and plundering the city since ancient times, and I don't want you Liu Zhixing, a scholar, to do such a thing. ”

Liu Zhixing recorded Uncle Zhou Ying's words in his heart, if he was not a student of Mr. Zhou Wen, Uncle Zhou Ying would not say such a thing. This reminder is nothing more than to let Liu know

Fortunately, I remember that I am still a reader, not a demon who kills people without blinking.

"My nephew wrote it down, and the villagers in Bashangzhuang can know their names all have a tombstone, and everyone is buried in the ground." Liu Zhixing said seriously.

Uncle Zhou Ying nodded lightly and said, "Okay, Uncle Shi will go first." I'll leave it to you, remember to siege the city and not slaughter it. After speaking, he got on the horse and led thousands of foot soldiers to leave, leaving Liu Zhixing to look at the dust.

Chu Hanlin walked slowly and said: "The corpses of the soldiers are all settled, and the thirty-two prisoners of the Chu army have been captured, how to deal with them." ”

Looking at the soldiers of Chu who were escorted by the soldiers, Liu Zhixing thought about Uncle Zhou Ying's words and said: "Let's go back first, the villagers of Bashangzhuang set up a tomb here, remember to engrave it because of what happened." Everyone in the Thirteenth Battalion must remember that this must not be allowed to happen again. With that, he strode away.

Liu Zhixing got on the horse and followed a bunch of carriages pulling the soldiers of the 13th Battalion all the way, and there was no sadness in his heart, only sadness. It's really a lump of 100 catties of meat, Liu Zhixing is used to it. What is a success of ten thousand bones, only a few words, but I don't know that it is the bones of tens of thousands of soldiers, and the words are light and heavy.
