In September, the Turks attacked Hexi, Ganzhou and Suzhou led the troops to fight, broke the Turks, killed thousands of enemies, and captured thousands of people.

On the 14th, the vanguard army encountered a small group of Turkic guerrillas and engaged in a fierce battle, which did not stop for a day, and the tragedy could not be said.

Cheng Chumo annihilated the 236 guerrillas, and only 16 of the 200 people under his command survived, the blood stained the grass dark red, and the 16 people who survived were all wounded, lying on the ground except breathing, unable to even move.

Li Jingye was ordered to lead his troops out to look for them, and five hundred people searched along the route until late at night and did not find them.

And Cheng Chumo had already bandaged his wounds, and ate the dry food soaked in blood in the night with tears.

Vomiting while eating, spitting it out, picking it up and stuffing it into his mouth and swallowing it with all his might, today he learned that war does not make people's blood boil, but makes people change from warm to cold.

The steppe is full of dangers, in addition to the possibility of encountering Turkic scouts at any time, what is even more terrifying are the beasts attracted by blood, such as the wolves that are now tearing at corpses with green eyes.

After eating people, wolves have a strong desire to attack living people, and when Cheng Chumo used all his strength to shoot a wolf, the remaining wolves slowly formed an encirclement.

This kind of animal has the discipline of an army, and the ability to work together is terrifying, and after a few tests, it was found that Cheng Chumo and they did not have the strength to attack, so they launched an attack on the outermost people.

Several soldiers cried and were dragged away by wolves, and before they could scream, they were bitten on the neck and flung back and forth a few times, and the carotid artery ruptured and died, surrounded by a pack of wolves.

Cheng Chumo was angry, the corners of his eyes were cracked, and the blood flowed.

"How can this be? How can this be? Will you not die in a hundred battles, but you will die at the mouth of an animal?"

Cheng Chumo said in despair, his war knife was broken, his longbow had no string, and there was not even a stone around him. But he was not reconciled! How dangerous is the big war today? Two hundred against two hundred and fifty men, they all held out to the end, and at this moment he hoped that a group of Turks would appear to kill him than to be bitten to death by this herd of animals.

There were only nine of them left, and more and more wolves were coming around, maybe they all wanted to eat something fresh and hot!

"Hey...... Lao Tzu Hero I did not die on the battlefield, how could he die in the mouth of this group of animals, that brother's knife is sharp, give me a good time. ”

Cheng Chumo said that he would rather be stabbed to death now than die under the kiss of a wolf. But if he wants to die, someone has to do it!

"Captain, you hold on, we haven't returned for a day and a night, the general will definitely send people to find us along the way, brothers, surround the captain, even if they are all dead, we can't let the captain have an accident."

The soldier who spoke had a broken right hand and a one-foot-long cut in the thigh of his left foot, he handed the knife to Cheng Zumo, snatched the broken knife beside him, and blocked Cheng Chumo's back.

Eight people firmly protected Cheng Chumo in it, but unfortunately they were all remnants, how could they compare to the ferocious and cunning wolf?

There were fewer and fewer people, eight, seven, five, and finally only four in a square formation, struggling to resist the attack of the wolves.

"Hehe, it seems that the whole army will be wiped out tonight, but Lao Tzu is happy, there are so many brothers walking together, and Huangquan Road is not lonely. What's more, we still have more than 200 Turks on our backs, and this life is worth it. ”

A soldier laughed and disemboweled, but he was bitten by another wolf and dragged out with all his might.

Cheng Chumo jumped his foot and slashed at the wolf's waist and saved him, but unfortunately the four of them were all at the end of the crossbow, and they used all their strength to stand up with a knife.

At this moment, a fire dragon appeared in the distance, and the sound of horses' hooves shook the earth, and the wolves were frightened and turned their heads to look into the distance.

"Hahaha...... Someone is coming, and the captain should be our people from the direction! The living soldier cried out in surprise, anyone would be ecstatic if he could not die.

"Cheng Chumo, Cheng Chumo...... Lao Tzu is Li Jingye, if you hear it, you will reply to me. ”

The people on horseback shouted loudly, and Cheng Chumo felt for the first time that someone called Lao Tzu not evil in front of him, so he took a deep breath and shouted with all his might: "Li Jingye ~ Your grandfather is here." Shoot these wolves for me, shoot them! ”

Li Jingye smelled the disgusting smell of blood, his heart burned with rage, and he ordered everyone to shoot all the wolves. He carried a knife and led a team of people to rush to Cheng Chumo's side to protect them.

"What's going on? Of the two hundred people killed by the herd, only four of you remained? Li Jingye held the crumbling Cheng Chumo and said jokingly.

Cheng Chumo broke away from his hand and punched Li Jingye in the face with all his might, and Li Jingye fell to the ground. He stood up and touched his face, and said unhappily: "Lao Tzu took two hundred people to find you for a day and a night, and you repay me like this?" ”

"If I like my life, I will take it, but let me hear another insult to my brother, Lao Tzu and you will fight hard."

Cheng Chumo said sadly, Li Jingye was silent, the night was dark and moonless, just now he couldn't see the surroundings, and now under the light of the torches, he saw that in addition to the service of the Tang Army, there were many Turkic servants.

"You met the Turks?"

"Hehe, two hundred and fifty, Lao Tzu fought with his brothers for a day, and none of them ran away. At the end of the battle we were left with sixteen men, but unfortunately now there were only four of us left, and the rest died in the mouths of this herd. ”

Cheng Chumo said sadly, the tears couldn't be stopped, and they kept falling. Yesterday, they galloped together and shouted to make meritorious contributions, but today they didn't even leave a corpse.

"Catch up and kill Lao Tzu, kill Lao Tzu, none of these animals can be let go." Li Jingye shouted angrily, twelve heroes! As long as they return to Datang, they are heroes, but they die like this.

"Help me find out their corpses, Lao Tzu can't let them wrap their bodies in horse leather, at least bring their ashes back."

Cheng Chumo said in a pleading tone, in this kind of place, after finding someone, you should quickly return to the camp, if you encounter Turkic soldiers again, it will be a big trouble.

However, Li Jingye is also a hot-blooded boy, and he will kill all the enemies without returning in a death battle, how can he bear to see such a hero expose their corpses in the wilderness?

The work of piecing together the corpses continued until noon the next day, and although the corpses had been gnawed by wolves, the clothes were still easy to identify.

It was not so easy for some people to have their arms, legs and feet cut off, and these severed limbs were mixed together to distinguish which one was that, and the last fire burned them to ashes and wrapped them in cloth.

Cheng Chumo woke up a few times, the fire was lit by his own hands, and on the way back, the four of them couldn't ride their horses, and relied on the soldiers to take turns to carry them back.

He had already sent someone to report to Li Jing in advance, and Li Jing attached great importance to this matter and sent Su Dingfang to lead a thousand people to respond.
