Chapter 214 Return

Looking at Wang Dang's body that was dead, but still with angry eyes and refused to fall, Chen Cheng sighed and said; "Among the officers and soldiers, are there so many heroes?"

Zhang Heng was covered in blood, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "He is indeed a good man." ”

Ma Teng said: "When Huangfu Song besieged Longxian last year, I fought with this person, and he was indeed a brave general. ”

Song Jian snorted and didn't speak, Cheng Yi stepped forward and followed Chen Cheng's meaning, and said, "Since he is a hero, why don't you bury him?" ”

Chen Cheng said: "No, cut off his head and put it in a wooden box, I have a use." ”

He turned around and said to the Liangzhou princes with a stunned look on their faces: "Now that the road has been opened, although the Han army has run away with one or two thousand people, it can no longer pose any threat. Leave some men behind, bury the dead on both sides, and gather the wounded soldiers. You can divide the prisoners of the Han army, and gather the wounded for me. ”

This Han army is well-trained and has amazing combat power, although it has given the Xiliang army a lot of damage, but the combat effectiveness is here, and there are many people who want it.

Cheng Yi said: "Do you want to return to the Liuchuan River to pick up Yang Qiu and Yang Shangshu?" ”

Chen Cheng said: "Yes, I said before, when the matter here is finished, I still have to go back." ”

Cheng Yi: "Since that's the case..........."

Song Jian suddenly interjected: "I'll just say it directly, Chen Yuanjun, what about Han Sui and Li Xiangru who are locked up in the camp?" All you have to do is give the order, and someone will immediately cut off their heads! ”

Chen Cheng was stunned for a moment, killing people, killing enemies, killing his own people, killing for so long, he was about to forget about Han Sui. He looked at Cheng Yi and Song Jian's faces, took in everyone's expressions, and then slowly shook his head and said, "I have always kept my word, since I promised not to kill them, I will leave their lives." ”

"General Zhang Heng, you fought hard under Chencang City and blocked the pursuit of the imperial court's soldiers and horses, so that the army could withdraw smoothly. This time you were able to break through the interception of the Han army, and you also contributed a lot. The armor, weapons, and prisoners here are all for you to pick first, and then you can take Han Wenyue and Li Xiangru to take over Wudu County. Wait until winter and put them back. ”

Zhang Heng grinned, raised his eyebrows, and said loudly: "No! ”

Chen Cheng looked at Wei Ran and the others again, every time the guards went out with him, they suffered heavy casualties, and this time it was the same, more than a dozen were killed in the battle, and the rest were all wounded, and they all looked a little tired. He said slowly, "You guys just stay here for the first time and help clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded." ”

The tooth soldiers have all learned simple medical methods, and Wei Ran and them are no exception. The remaining fifty or sixty people can be used as barefoot doctors. Of course, there are not many of them, that is, they can clean and bandage wounds. If you really let them become doctors and treat people, there will definitely be a lot of medical accidents.

Wei Ran said loudly; "No!"

Chen Cheng thought about it and felt that there was nothing more to order, so he jumped on horseback, waved his hand to everyone, and then said in a loud voice: "Then I'll go!" ”

With that, he gently kicked the horse's belly, neighed, raised his hooves, and went far in an instant.

Wei Ran, Cheng Yi, Song Jian and others hugged their fists together and said loudly, "Congratulations to the lord!" Or, "Congratulations to the envoy!" ”

The war horse galloped along the road towards the east, and when he crossed into the stone, Chen Cheng glanced in the direction of the camp. There were many fewer men and horses in the camp, and most of the soldiers of the Xiliang Army had already embarked on the journey back to Liangzhou along Weishui. He retracted his gaze, touched Gollum's neck, and shouted, "Faster!" ”

Gollum snorted a heavy breath from his nose, hissed, and ran faster.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves coming from the west and heading to the east, Li Xiangru in the big tent said with some uneasiness: "Wenyue, do you hear the sound of horses' hooves outside?" ”

Han Sui knelt on the carpet, was pretending to sleep with his eyes closed, and did not open his eyes when he heard the words, and replied, "I heard it." ”

"How do you think it's going east?"

Han Sui said lightly: "I probably went to inform Yang Qiu and them, saying that they had opened up the back road." ”

Just now, someone had already returned to the camp and informed the news that the Han army had been defeated, and the whole camp cheered at that time. Han Sui and Li Xiangru are not deaf, so they naturally heard it.

Li Xiangru said resentfully: "The surname Chen is not good-hearted, and the officers and soldiers are also waste, why don't you kill this group of villains?" ”

Han Sui opened his eyes, snorted, and said, "If Chen Cheng and the others lose, will the officers and soldiers let us go alone?" ”

Li Xiangru waved his arms and shouted frantically: "Even if you want to die, you have to drag them to die together!" ”

He gasped violently in the big tent, and suddenly pleaded again: "Wenyue, think of a way, think of a way!" If we wait for the surname Chen to come back, we may all die! ”

Han Sui closed his eyes again, unwilling to look at his old friend's ugliness, "Wait, now we have no other way but to wait." Now people are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat, it depends on God whether we can continue to live. If you die, forget it, if you can still live..........."

His voice grew lower and lower, and finally faded into obscurity.

Near the Liuchuan River, the flags of Huangfu Song and Ding Yuan hunted in the wind. Ding Yuan, who was draped all over his body, looked at the sunset in the west, and said with some doubts: "Why are thieves still so tenacious?" Could it be that Chen Cheng is really still in the army? ”

Huangfu Song said categorically: "This is impossible, if Chen Wenzheng is really still there, he will never show his face all day." I inquired carefully about his past experience, and every time he fought, he was personally in battle, and he would never just command from behind! ”

Ding Yuan hesitated: "But the handsome flag has always been there, and the Xiliang army has resisted very fiercely, but I am afraid that things may not be as General Zuo said." Maybe he was injured yesterday and won't be able to play today? ”

Huangfu Song said: "What can't the flag prove, write a Chen character to go up is a handsome flag?" ”

"I know what General Zuo said has a point," Ding Yuan shook his head and said, "But it's about to get dark, and the soldiers are tired, wouldn't it be easier to besiege the thieves for a few more days, and when they are hungry and lose their strength, or when they start to retreat, we will attack again?" ”

Huangfu Song groaned, and there was a slight waver. Because yesterday the fight was too bad, so today's morale is low. At the same time, in the morning, the Xiliang army sent back all the captured Han wounded, which weakened the determination of the soldiers to fight to the death.

The battle from noon has been tepid, after finally forcing back the cavalry of the Xiliang people, the infantry battle array advanced to the edge of the enemy's original camp, knocked down a section of the camp wall, and just rushed in, two stone bullets fell from the sky, grinding a bloody road in the infantry.

If in the past, when he encountered the enemy's fierce attack, Huangfu Song believed that the soldiers under his command would only fight back with a more ferocious attitude. But this time, the soldiers on the front line lost their previous bravery and sharpness, and after being attacked, they withdrew.

Yesterday's heavy casualties were only one of the reasons, and the more important reason was that he himself was a little hesitant and didn't want more casualties, otherwise, it wouldn't be the situation he is in now. But he can't afford to lose now, the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong are now in the hands of him and Ding Yuan, all piled up here, once he loses, the entire Sanfu will be exposed in front of Xiliang Jun and Dong Zhuo.

Huangfu Song looked at Ding Yuan again, and sighed in his heart: There is another reason, that Ding Yuan has always disagreed with launching a fierce attack, and is only willing to send some miscellaneous soldiers to test it. If the elite of the two families is exhausted, they may not be able to win today!

While thinking about it, a burst of cheers suddenly sounded in the camp of the Xiliang Army opposite. First hundreds, then tens of thousands. Amid the cheers, Chen Cheng appeared in front of the two armies wearing iron armor full of battle traces and riding a fiery red war horse.

Behind him, Zhao Si led the remaining more than 100 guards and soldiers, also draped all over their bodies. Not only did they wear full armor, but they also wore scarlet scarlets. The horses galloped in front of the formation, driving the big guns to flutter behind them, looking majestic and heroic.

The Minister of Propaganda of the Third Reich said: Gorgeous military uniforms are also part of combat effectiveness.

Some people say: Victory or defeat is only a temporary thing, but handsomeness is a lifelong thing.

When the Liangzhou army saw that its soldiers and horses were so majestic, it was naturally a morale boost. The soldiers of the Han army were stunned for a while, and their morale became even more depressed. When Ding Yuan saw this, his breathing suddenly became heavy, and he turned his head to Huangfu Song and said, "Sure enough, Chen Cheng has always been in the army!" He must have ambushed his troops and horses in the camp, just waiting for us to attack! Fortunately, we didn't have the whole army pressing. Otherwise, you will definitely fall for his tricks! ”

If the Xiliang Army hadn't shown extraordinary combat effectiveness yesterday, why should they worry about whether the enemy had an ambush?

Huangfu Song's expression darkened, and he sighed softly: "The soldiers and horses sent to intercept are over. ”

Ding Yuan was stunned and said, "Why did General Zuo say this? ”

Huangfu Song pointed to Chen Cheng, who was galloping back and forth in front of the battle, and said: "General Zhengxi, please see, the blood stains on Chen Wenzheng's armor have not dried, and the body of one person and one rider is covered with dust, so he must have traveled a long way." If he had been in command in the camp, how could this have happened? ”

Ding Yuan took a closer look, and the blood stains on Chen Cheng's body were black and brown, and the iron armor and horse were indeed full of dust. He said convincingly: "General Zuo's eyes are like torches, and I can't do it!" But what does this mean? ”

Huangfu Song sighed again in his heart, then lifted his spirits and said, "Since the enemy chief has just returned here after a lot of fighting and a long journey. Why, then, did he rush back with peace of mind? It must have been the interception of the soldiers and horses that had been broken. ”

Ding Yuan suddenly realized, and then said in shock: "Wang Dang is a brave general in the army, and he brought so many people over, and he is also defeated?" ”

Huangfu Song said bitterly: "Mostly." ”

He said to Ding Yuan: "General Ding, there is nothing to be done, Mingjin should withdraw his troops." ”

Ding Yuan said: "That's the only way." ”
