The remnant sun is like blood, and the fire is monstrous.

When Cha Mu Tso retreated, the fire had not yet dissipated, but the sky had gradually darkened. Qin Cheng ordered all the soldiers to return to the camp to rest, leaving only the sentinels on guard, and the fire in front of the camp gate Qin Cheng did not let people extinguish it.

Although today's battle was defeated by the Wuhuan cavalry, and in the end, because of his own fire, the morale was burned to the slightest, and Qin Cheng still did not mean to take off his guard.

The Wuhuan cavalry in front of the Yangpo camp retreated, and the Wuhuan cavalry surrounding the fort naturally had no point in staying there any longer, so they retreated with the army. It's just that when the Wuhuan cavalry retreated, the Han cavalry in the fort suddenly came out and chased after the Wuhuan cavalry for a while. The Wuhuan cavalry was defeated in the fire attack, and they had long lost their morale, and they were chased by the Han army behind for a while, almost not losing their armor, where did they still have the heart to fight, and finally were killed by the Han army biting their butts and killing two or three hundred people, so angry that Cha Mucuo almost vomited blood, and scolded Li Guang villain.

After the Wuhuan army retreated, they retreated ten miles back and camped on the basis of the original camp, and I don't know if Cha Mucuo had the idea of retreating.

For today's two battles in a row, the result was beyond Qin Cheng's expectations, although Qin Cheng also knew that it should not be difficult to win, but how could it be a crushing victory after the death battle, not so easy to win.

At night, Qin Cheng was alone on the watchtower looking at the fire in front of the camp gate and the charred corpses of the Wuhuan cavalry in the fire array, and sighed softly, and a sadness flashed in his eyes.

Whether it was in his previous life or in this life, Qin Cheng was used to seeing life and death, and even to a certain extent, he was also used to life and death. But now seeing four or five thousand lives wiped out under his own strategy, Qin Cheng still felt a trace of regret and a trace of sadness in his heart.

Apologies are for life; Stunned, it is cruel to the battlefield where several people have returned since ancient times.

When he didn't enlist in the army, the young man's heart always looked forward to the blood of the battlefield, cutting off the enemy's head, and making immortal achievements; But after truly experiencing the cruelty of the battlefield and witnessing the life and death of too many comrades, I can't help but have a trace of doubt in my heart.

Because life is always precious.

And killing is always a sin.

"When did I become so sentimental?" Qin Cheng laughed at himself in his heart, wanting to exhale a breath of turbid air to relax, but when he saw the mess a hundred steps away, he couldn't calm down for a while.

"The General is proud of his masterpiece by daylight?" Liu Mu didn't know when he arrived next to Qin Cheng, and when he saw Qin Cheng looking at the corpse of the Wuhuan cavalry, he was stunned, and thought that he was complacent about today's victory.

Qin Cheng smiled, glanced at Liu Mu, and suddenly asked, "Do you think the war is cruel?" ”

Liu Mu was slightly stunned, and looked at Qin Cheng strangely a few times, before he said in an uncertain tone: "The general is thinking about this?" ”

"Sort of." Qincheng Road.

Liu Mu's eyes fell on the fire array everywhere, paused for a while, and asked rhetorically: "War, should it be described as cruel?" ”

"What if not?" Qincheng Strange Road.

Liu Mu shook his head, his eyes did not leave the fire array, but his tone was of course: "War has been like this since ancient times, and there is no such thing as cruelty and non-cruelty. If we still feel that war is cruel, we have not yet seen war clearly and have not adapted to it. Because war, that's what it looks like. ”

Qin Cheng widened his eyes and looked at the willow wood carefully, only to feel that the willow wood at this time was no longer salty and not light, and had become extremely serious, even a little wise. Qin Cheng thought for a moment and muttered: "War is like this, it exists there like that, if we think it's cruel, we just haven't seen it clearly and adapted to it......"

Thinking like this, Qin Cheng had a feeling of sudden enlightenment, and he said: "In this way, the same is true for soldiers. Soldiers are born for war, if there is no war, there are no dead people, there will be no soldiers, soldiers die on the battlefield, and ordinary people live, old age, sickness and death, it is also a very common thing, because the mission is so. Being born and dying are actually very common. And as an enemy, either you die or I die, and it is not so much that the soldiers kill the soldiers, but that it is the conflict of missions that kills the soldiers. Is that right? ”

Qin Cheng let out a long breath, his body lightened, and looked at Liu Mu, "That's what you mean, right?" ”

Liu Mu looked at Qin Cheng blankly, opened his mouth, his eyes were full of surprise, and when he saw Qin Cheng asking himself, he simply waved his hand, "My subordinates didn't say that, these are the general's own feelings...... However, his subordinates agreed with the general. ”

Qin Cheng laughed twice, and after the knots in his heart were untied, he patted Liu Mu's shoulder hard, and said with a smile: "Soldiers exist for the mission, fight for the mission, and sacrifice for the mission. In this world, there should always be a group of people like us to do things that ordinary people can't do or even understand, but this is our mission, and these missions are still for the nation in the final analysis...... Well, for the sake of the big man, haha! ”

Liu Mu didn't stand well, he was slapped crooked by Qin Cheng, and he staggered two steps before standing firmly, he glanced at Qin Cheng, but there was a trace of admiration in his expression, after listening to Qin Cheng, he answered: "Because we are soldiers, sergeants are such an existence, there must always be a group of people in this world, who are soldiers." In order to protect what we should protect, we picked up swords and guns. ”

"Where there are people, there is war, and where there is war, there are soldiers!" Qin Cheng said sonorously, laughed twice again, and said to Liu Mu: "If there is wine tonight, we should really drink three hundred cups and have a good talk!" ”

Liu Mu quietly widened the distance from Qin Cheng, afraid that he would shoot himself again, and before he could say anything, a sergeant shouted under the guard tower: "General, a messenger has arrived, saying that there is an important military report!" ”

Qin Cheng was overjoyed and asked, "But the messenger sent by Shanjia?" ”

"Exactly!"

Qin Cheng and Liu Mu quickly stepped down from the sentry tower, and a knight saluted Qin Cheng and said, "Xiaohua City guards the cavalry Wang Er See General Qin!" The commander of Shanjiatun has an important military intelligence report, and General Qin ......"

"You come in with me!" Qin Cheng interrupted Wang Er's words and said.

"No!"

Qin Cheng and Liu Mu took Wang Er into the military tent, and asked Wang Er, "Can the mountain armor arrive at the predetermined position?" How many people are there? ”

"Report to General Qin, Shantun Chang arrived at the predetermined position in the afternoon, seeing that General Qin is leading the army to fight with the Wuhuan army and General Qin is winning, Shantun Chang is afraid of ruining General Qin's plan, so he did not rush over, and now the Wuhuan cavalry has retreated, and Shantun Chang has ordered me to report to General Qin. This time, there are more than 1,500 cavalry under the commander of Shantun! Wang Er said.

Qin Cheng nodded, and after asking Wang Er if he had any other military information to report, he drafted a military order for him to bring to Shanjia.

After Wang Er retreated, the corners of Qin Cheng's mouth hooked up a smile, and he said to himself: "Fifteen hundred cavalry, this guy is really capable!" ”

……

Wuhuan marching camp.

Cha Mu sat on the king's chair, his eyes closed, and he didn't say a word.

After listening to the casualty figures reported by the army, he has been like this for two moments now.

Cha Mu didn't say a word, which made Yi Xue'er in the military tent also Yu Shan not say anything first. Yu Dan wanted to leave the king's tent several times, but seeing that Yi Xue'er had no intention of leaving, he finally endured it.

Yu Shan didn't know what Yi Xue'er was staying in the king's tent for.

Half an hour later, Yi Xue'er finally spoke, and she asked Cha Mu Cuo, "King Wuhuan, what are you going to do next?" ”

Cha Mu Tso did not answer.

After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes, the meaning in his eyes was indescribably complicated, and he finally spit out two words in the middle of the sound: "Retreat." ”

There was no surprise on Yi Xue'er's face, as if Cha Mu Cuo's reaction was completely expected, she looked at Cha Mu Cuo, and asked knowingly, "Why do you want to withdraw from the army?" ”

"Why?" Cha Mu Tso suddenly jumped up from the king's chair, stared at Yi Xue'er fiercely, and almost shouted, "Didn't you see the casualties of my Wuhuan warriors? In just one day and one night, nearly 7,000 of my Great Wuhuan warriors have been killed! And the Han army was unscathed, is there still a need to fight this battle?! ”

He didn't say that Yi Xue'er swore last night that it would be easy to defeat the Han army today, but the Wuhuan cavalry was defeated today. He knew that saying this was just a slap in the face, because he gave the military order. But if Cha Mu doesn't say it, it doesn't mean that he doesn't have a problem with Yi Xueer in his heart! On the contrary, this mustard is still very deep!

Because he is a Hun and the Hun princess in front of him, he persuaded him to send troops to the Han!

"It's because so many warriors have died in battle, so their blood can't be shed in vain, and the grassland warriors have always had revenge." "Are you willing to go back so disgracefully and make the heroes of the steppe laugh?" Defeat the Han army to win glory and respect! ”

"Hahahaha......" King Wuhuan laughed loudly, looked at Yi Xue'er with a sneer, and said coldly: "Princess, didn't you Huns also lose in the hands of the Shanggu Han army in the first two times?" Why didn't I see you go for revenge? ”

"King Wuhuan is right, I have come here to avenge those warriors, I thought that I could do this with my allies of the Great Huns, but I did not expect his allies to retreat when it was easiest to achieve victory. And today, I will lead my 1,000 Hun warriors to attack the Han army camp at night! Yi Xue'er stood up and said loudly: "Today coincides with the great victory of the Han army and the temporary defeat of our army, the Han army never imagined that at this time, we would return the way of others, so when the ugly night attack, my great Hun will definitely succeed!" ”

Yi Xue'er saw Cha Mucuo's surprised expression in her eyes, and added: "At that time, the allies of the Great Huns only need to attack for us and the Han army that sealed the fortress city, and attack tonight, and my Great Huns will avenge the white sun for his allies!" ”

With that, Ixher strode out of the tent.

Leaving Cha Mu in place.

……

The Yangpo camp of the Han army.

"Today's Wuhuan cavalry is in a big defeat, and their morale is low, so they must be lax in their defense." Qin Cheng said to the generals in the tent, "Besides, we and the others have already launched a night attack last night, because they would never have expected that we will wait for a second night attack tonight!" And tonight's night attack is a decisive march to defeat Wuhuan and drive him back to the grassland, just tonight! ”
