The town is in ruins, even if the houses here are made of stone. But in a desperate battle between the two armies, all that was left was those four walls, and in some places, even the stone walls were not the same. Some of them were blown apart, and some of them didn't look unusual, but when they touched their hands, they turned into stone powder in the ground.

This place was not originally a strategic place, nor was it a place for soldiers to fight, but it was just that the Tang Army was forced all the way to this place by the army of the Southern Alliance.

After the end of the war, those people who were driven out of this town by the Tang army returned to their homes one after another, looking at the homes that had become ruins, and wanted to cry without tears.

Nothing.

But the days go on.

Many people began to clean up this piece of junk, looking for something of little more value from the inside.

The sound of horses' hooves was heard in a dense manner, and the people in the ruins ran in the opposite direction from the horses' hooves like frightened birds.

More than 100 cavalry of the Tang Army rushed all the way to Guzhai Town from the direction of Xiangtan.

The first person was Ren Xiaonian, followed by Qin Kuan and others. Behind them, there are more carriages and horses, which are some of the people they recruited in Xiangtan, this trip, not only to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty soldiers who died here, but also to do their best to collect the bones of the robes who died in battle.

Outside the town, Ren Xiaonian and the others turned over and dismounted, and walked towards the large ruins in front of them step by step.

He stopped abruptly and looked to the side of him.

There, piled up with rubble.

Ren Xiaonian's footsteps stopped in one place, he squatted down, looking at a blackened palm and a small arm exposed outside, on which he was wearing an arm armor, and the arm armor was the standard equipment of the Tang Army.

Reaching out and removing a small piece of broken bricks and tiles on it, a Tang soldier lay face down on his stomach. One arm was outstretched, and in the other, he still held a half-cut knife.

Qin Kuan and the others all gathered around, and their eyes showed a sad look.

Not only this soldier, when the soldier who died in battle was revealed, they saw that under the body, all the layers were all the soldiers of the Tang Army who died in battle.

This is the body of the Tang army who died in the town after the war, and all the soldiers of the Southern Alliance were discarded here. This place, which was supposed to be a depression, has now been filled in by broken bricks, rotten mud and stones.

"Dig it all up!" Ren Xiaonian turned around, looked at the young men who caught up behind him, and said.

There was not much covering on the body, and soon all the cover was cleared and dry, and the depression revealed his true face.

It's all corpses!

Because of the cold weather, the bodies did not decompose.

A lot of young people suddenly ran to the side and threw up.

In their lives, they were afraid that they had never seen so many corpses stacked on top of each other. Almost none of them were intact, and in many places, severed arms and stumps were scattered in a haphazard pile, and in some cases, only a skull remained.

Ren Xiaonian knelt on the edge of the big pit, hid his face with his hands, and let tears overflow from his fingers.

"Please come out, brothers!" Qin Kuan, who was in tears, hissed and shouted.

More than a hundred Tang soldiers silently walked over and carefully carried out the corpses from the pit, either complete or incomplete.

Some of the young men spread pieces of white cloth on the ground, while others wanted to help these Tang soldiers carry out the bodies, but they were kicked and beaten out by these Tang soldiers.

Each one is carefully wrapped in white skin.

Qin Kuan walked out of the pit holding a head, it was obvious that he recognized this head himself. He tried to find the rest of the skull's body in the pit, but for a long time it was in vain. On top of this piece of white cloth, there was only one lonely head, standing beside it, Qin Kuan roared angrily like a wolf.

The Tang soldiers struggled to piece together the mutilated corpses, but there were still a considerable number of mutilated limbs, and the rest of the body could no longer be found.

"Go and find it, go to the town, dig three feet into the ground and find it for me!" Ren Xiaonian yelled angrily at the young men.

These young men, who were already frightened, shouted and took their tools, and poured into Guzhai Town one after another, for fear that if they moved a little slowly, they would anger this Tang Army general, who was obviously a little out of control, and turn themselves into one of these corpses.

"Someone's coming!" One of the Don soldiers suddenly pointed into the distance.

Ren Xiaonian and Qin Kuan looked up in the direction the soldier was pointing. More than a dozen Tang horsemen, escorting a carriage, galloped towards this place.

"It's General Li's personal soldiers!" Qin Kuan called out.

Ren Xiaonian took a few steps forward and suddenly stopped. General Lee's own soldiers escorted a carriage to this place, and he immediately realized who it was.

In a moment, these cavalry and carriages arrived at Ren Xiaonian's location, and the scene in front of them obviously stunned these cavalrymen who had just arrived.

For many years, they had never seen so many robed brothers die in battle at one time.

Qin Kuan took a step forward and opened the carriage door.

"Sister-in-law!" Qin Kuan shouted.

Ge Cai slowly got out of the carriage, and Qin Kuan helped her out of the carriage.

"What about the child, what about the child?" Qin Kuan suddenly shouted in panic.

Ren Xiaonian stood behind Qin Kuan, and at this time, Huo Ran also raised his head. Ge Cai, who was originally fat and strong, looked so skinny at the moment, and what made them even more shocking was that Ge Cai, who was supposed to have a big belly, had a flat belly at this time. If in the past, Ge Cai didn't show up because she was too fat, then now, her flat belly is too eye-catching.

"Scar, it's okay, the child was born, although it was born prematurely, but it was alive. I'm desperate, and I'm going to leave a seed for you Brother Liu! Ge Cai said softly.

"That's good, that's good!" Qin Kuan let out a long breath.

Ge Cai's eyes fell on Ren Xiaonian, although he was not wearing a military uniform, he still meticulously gave Ren Xiaonian a military salute: "General Ren!" ”

"Ge Cai, I, I'm sorry for you!" Ren Xiaonian was ashamed.

Ge Cai shook his head slightly: "Those who are soldiers and wars all tie their heads to the waistbands of their trousers, and over the years, so many brothers have died, and they came out of our secret camp, and now there are less than half of them left." What is there to be sorry for. ”

Seeing that Ge Cai's gaze stayed on the body wrapped in a large white cloth, Qin Kuan slowly shook his head: "Sister-in-law, there is no Brother Liu here." According to the captives we caught, in the end, Brother Liu seemed to have detonated the explosives himself, but he was afraid that there was nothing left. ”

Ge Cai's body shook, but he finally stood still and did not fall. She walked slowly into the white sea, and knelt on her knees.

"Brothers, Ge Cai has come to see you."

The supreme commander of this army was originally Ge Cai, Liu Yuan was Ge Cai's deputy general before, and the two were rare husband and wife in the Tang Army. Everyone who died in battle here, Ge Cai is extremely familiar.

Three thousand! Is he the only one left now?

Deep in the cellar, a small candle became the only source of light. Chen Lin carefully untied the gauze on a soldier's arm, whose hand and wrist were severed.

Glancing at the wound, Chen Lin let out a sigh: "It's okay, it's okay, it's finally budding, you have been having a high fever these days, but it's scared me to death." ”

"I can't die, General Chen said, everyone here has to live, and our team can be rebuilt!" The wounded soldier's voice was small and sounded weak.

"It's okay, survive this catastrophe, and you'll get better every day. Sentry Du, go get some water! Chen Lin said.

"Good!" Du Sheng, who was close to the passage, agreed, bent his waist, and walked out along the passage.

At the end of the passage is an ancient well, and about a foot below this hole is a pool of clear water.

Lying on the ground, just picked up a scoop of water, Du Sheng's whole person suddenly stiffened.

In his ears, there was the familiar sound of a military trumpet.

It was the sound of the trumpet after every war to commemorate the dead martyrs.

Own!

Own army is coming.

It must have been the Tang Dynasty that won, otherwise the Tang Dynasty army would not have come to this place.

Du Sheng threw away the water scoop, stood up, and roared loudly, but the entrance of the cave was too far away from him, and he shouted several times, but there was no response.

He didn't know that at this moment, Ren Xiaonian and these people were still at the entrance of the town and didn't come in.

Du Sheng stumbled along the passage and ran inward, and along the way, he didn't know how many times his head hit the top of the passage.

"Brothers, our army is coming, I hear the trumpet! I heard the bugle sound. ”

"Did you hear me wrong?" Chen Lin asked calmly, these days, there have been a lot of such things, and from time to time some soldiers said that they heard the sound of military horns.

"Absolutely not!" Du Sheng roared loudly, and took out the tattered military flag from his arms, "Hurry up, hurry up, what about the spears, find a few more spears." ”

The entrance to the cave was too deep for them, and the stone walls were so slippery that not even a rope hung down from them, and they couldn't climb up at all.

Several spears were firmly tied together, and tattered flags were hung up.

Du Sheng once again came to the wall of the ancient well, and slowly poked the military flag out of the mouth of the ancient well.

The wind is blowing.

Above the ancient well, a bloody Tang military flag fluttered in the wind.
