Li Rui threw himself on the bed, he finally took off his armor, wrapped himself tightly with cotton wool, and slept very sweetly. In fact, at this time, except for half of the soldiers who were still on guard in the fort, the remaining half of the people were also asleep.

Finding a random room, finding a place for the fire to provide them with warmth, they wrapped themselves tightly in their blankets and threw themselves into sleep.

Gu Han walked in the castle, and everywhere he could hear strange snoring and whispering in his dreams.

He sat down next to Li Rui's bed, stretched out his hand and patted Li Rui's face, but Li Rui just turned over, changed his posture, and continued his dream.

Gu Han had to shake his head vigorously to force him to wake up from his dream.

Opening his sleepy eyes, Li Rui looked at Gu Han with some dissatisfaction: "Judge Gu, I haven't closed my eyes for several days. ”

"I know." Gu Han said: "But at this time, shouldn't you do something?" ”

"Do what?" Li Rui was still tightly wrapped in the quilt, only revealing a big head.

"Liu Siyuan retreated in a panic, if we lead our troops to pursue at this time, maybe we can gnaw off one of his tails." Gu Han said: "This is a good opportunity, isn't it?" ”

Li Rui stared at Gu Han for a long time, and suddenly laughed: "I finally know why General Liu threw you to the front line?" ”

Gu Han was a little annoyed, because Li Rui's words obviously brought a look of contempt for him.

"Judge Gu, you've read too many military books." Li Rui ignored him, and continued: "It's not bad for Liu Siyuan to retreat in a hurry, but as long as he is a qualified commander, I believe that he will definitely consider how to retreat safely." If I were him, I'd leave a trap for the best of the best, and wait for the adversaries who thought they were sure to win the game to take what they thought they deserved, and then, uh, it would be tragic. ”

Gu Han was a little skeptical: "You mean, in the process of retreating, Liu Siyuan will still ambush soldiers and horses waiting for us to pursue." ”

Li Rui nodded: "Judge Gu, if you don't believe it, you can send out a small number of people to investigate tomorrow." But don't send it out today, if you go out, it's a meat bun and a dog, and you won't be able to come back. ”

Looking at Li Rui, who didn't even want to poke out his head in the quilt, Gu Han left in disbelief.

Li Rui can fall asleep, but he can't sleep anyway.

Then he spent the whole day and a night listening to all kinds of snoring, but fortunately, at night, Li Rui, who woke up, made a bottle of wine, and accompanied him to finish the wine on the top of the dock fort in the cold wind, and he was a little drunk, so he finally relaxed his body and mind completely, and then fell asleep on the top of the fort. In the end, Li Rui grabbed his back collar and dragged him to the gatehouse. There was a bed and a stove for him to get a good night's sleep.

At dawn the next day, Gu Han was awakened by the sound of horses' hooves, he jumped up, ran out of the building, and just saw a team of scouts preparing to leave the fort, he immediately galloped down the fort and asked for a war horse to step on, he wanted to personally verify whether what Li Rui said was true or false.

According to the twenty miles of Wubao, the experienced scouts really found the place where the enemy had been ambushed, and looking at the scale, there were no less than 10,000 enemies who had been ambushed here.

This made Gu Han gasp.

If he was really allowed to command the army, maybe yesterday he rushed out with his soldiers and horses to take advantage of the fire to rob, and then the final result was that he was robbed and killed before the dawn of victory, which was the most painful thing.

Back at the Dock Fort, the Right Guards, who had rested for a day and a night, had fully recovered their vitality, and they were busy disposing of the mountain of corpses outside the fort.

In the past, this kind of work was actually a time when ordinary soldiers made a small fortune, and the dead enemy would have more or less some property on them, and these goods would be privately owned by the soldiers. But this time is different, of course the Liu family headquarters is rich, but their bodies were all taken away by Liu Siyuan, and the rest are slave soldiers.

These poor people really let the soldiers of the Right Guard really understand what it means to have nothing.

Only a very small number of people had armor, these people were probably officers in the slave army, these people still had something of value on them, and the rest of them, in a ragged cotton coat, were all about it. On the battlefield, all that can be collected are some weapons. But these weapons are different from the standard weapons used by the right Xiaowei now, and they don't look down on them, and after they are put away, the biggest use is to transport them back to the furnace for retraining.

Seeing Li Rui, Gu Han just arched his hand and didn't say anything, so he joined in the action of cleaning up the battlefield, Li Rui didn't speak, just smiled.

It's freezing cold, and it's certainly unrealistic to dig a pit and bury people. It takes a lot of effort to dig a small pit in the frozen ground, let alone bury so many people?

Burning it is the easiest option.

Liu's camp was evacuated in a hurry, everything that could be ignited was gathered together, and the soldiers of the right Xiaowei also came back from cutting down a lot of trees from a distance, and the corpses were divided into three piles and set on fire.

The flames were blazing, and the disgusting scent was not in the wind.

"Dust to dust, dust to dust." Li Rui said: "After burning, the ashes are sprinkled on this land, and when the spring flowers bloom, it is the best fertilizer on this land, Judge Gu, tomorrow, on this blood-soaked land, there will be lush crops, and the food they produce will benefit more people, so they can be regarded as making a little contribution!" ”

After saying these words, Li Rui bowed and saluted.

Gu Han felt that it made sense, so he also bowed and bowed.

Liu died a lot, and Li Rui certainly didn't have a good time. Of the 5,000 spirits, only half are still alive, and more than 1,000 people are sleeping on this land. There are still a lot of wounded soldiers lying in the barracks, but fortunately, there is a complete field hospital under Li Rui's command, which can minimize the mortality rate.

But even so, in the coming days, there will still be many wounded soldiers who will leave because of their injuries.

Li Rui was ready to lead his troops back after dealing with everything here, and in the battle on Jianchang's side, he didn't think that he could get his hands on it, not to mention, it was a battlefield dominated by Zuo Jin Wuwei, and there was no need to rob it from others.

As Li Ze's descendant, Li Rui knew how strong Xue Chong's mood was now to make meritorious contributions.

Xue Chong is now in the Zhenzhou Imperial Court, and he can be regarded as lonely.

Xue Ping didn't want to see him.

Tian Ping's Weibo system is now the same as a passer-by for him.

Li Ze's lineage is in its own right, and he can't squeeze in.

If he wants to gain a foothold, he can only take credit in exchange, and this time, Li Ze gave him this opportunity, he will naturally seize it tightly, and he will not allow others to share this piece of the pie, even if Li Rui has this idea now.

Li Rui is the most thoughtful of the young generals under Li Ze, so he thinks more than others.

On top of the facts, the current Xue Chong thinks so.

It's not that he can't beat Jianchang, but if he just doesn't fight, Jianchang is still there, and he will attract Deng Jingshan, who is retreating, to come up in this direction. Even if he knew that Zuo Jingo was waiting for him in front of him, he had to come.

Because Jianchang has the supplies he urgently needs.

If Jianchang is lost, there is no way, since it is still there, even if it is an adventure, Deng Jingshan has to give it a try, because leaving like this is no more dangerous than fighting Jianchang.

And Deng Jingshan still had a trace of illusion, fantasizing that Xue Chong's Zuo Jin Wuwei's combat effectiveness was far inferior to Li Ze's lineage. Fighting against it, I may still have a little hope.

And this is exactly what Xue Chong wants.

When Deng Jingshan was attacked by Xue Zhong's cavalry for the first time, it was also when he received bad news from the rear, Pingquan and Kuancheng were lost one after another, Huang Zhongfa and Feng Lun were all killed, and Liu Chenglin's main force was already following behind him.

In two days, if he can't defeat Xue Chong in two days, what awaits him is the end of the destruction of the entire army.

The cavalry of both sides engaged in the first major collision in the vast wilderness.

Lu Long's iron cavalry, famous all over the world, although the most elite are under Zhang Zhongwu's command, but Deng Jingshan's cavalry is not bad, they suffer losses in equipment that is not as good as the other party, plus the cold and cold are rushing together, whether it is a person or a horse, they can not get a good rest, and their enemies are waiting for them with energy.

Zuo Jin Wuwei's cavalry is not as good as Lu Dragoon's in terms of quality, but these people are also veterans, after the outbreak of the big melee between the two sides, Zuo Jin Wuwei's cavalry will stretch the battle line longer and longer, they want to use their abundant physical strength to drag down the opponent little by little.

And such a strategy is undoubtedly extremely successful.

Many Lu dragoons often fought in this chase battle, and the war horses under their crotches fell to the ground with their front hooves stumbled, and the disadvantage of the soldiers' lack of physical strength was also revealed little by little in the long-term continuous battle.

Having the upper hand at first, being dragged to an even balance by their opponents in the afternoon, and then being suppressed by their opponents, the Lu Dragoons are paying the price for their strategic mistakes.

Deng Jingshan commanded the main force of the infantry to attack Xue Chong's subordinates, who were arranged in front of them according to the mountain beams on both sides.

The only avenue is between these two mountain beams, and this big road has now been heavily fenced by Xue Chong, and if you want to go to Jianchang, you must step on them.

One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion.

Deng Jingshan knew that he only had one chance. If you can't overcome your opponent with one impact, then you can only flee next.
