Chapter 30: The Arrow in the Vest

Li Guang ordered people to open the city gate, and nearly 100 Han soldiers captured and wounded entered the city gate first. Many of the nearly 100 soldiers who escaped death had red eyes and tears in their eyes when they entered the city gate, and there was joy for the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, as well as guilt for the more than 100 cavalrymen who sacrificed their lives to save themselves.

"General!" When the nearly 200 sergeants entered the city gate, when they saw Li Guang, their knees were weak, and they all knelt down in front of Li Guang, and they immediately wept silently.

If it weren't for Li Guang's military order to rescue them, they would have been in a different place at this time.

As an ordinary sergeant, how can you not be grateful to meet a general who loves soldiers so much?

The discomfort that had been holding back in my heart before, when I saw Li Guang, I was released at once, and I couldn't control it anymore.

What these foot soldiers thought in their hearts was nothing more than to be ashamed of the cavalry soldiers who fell under the Huns' swords one by one in order to protect themselves.

Li Guang counted his nose, helped the sergeant led by him, and said slowly: "Soldiers, you are all good!" ”

It's good that Li Guang didn't say this, but when he said it, the sergeants were even more ashamed and embarrassed, and the sergeant led by him cried: "General! I'm waiting for the shameless face of the general, the shameless face of the dead cavalry brothers! ”

After saying that, he knelt down again, and his shoulders shook to himself.

"You are all warriors of the Han Dynasty, soldiers who shed blood for the people and the country behind them! You are all good......" Li Guang vigorously lifted the sergeant in front of him up again and said firmly.

After some persuasion, Li Guang finally managed to stabilize the morale of the army, so Li Guang asked a special person to place these sergeants to heal his wounds, and strode towards the city gate himself.

A cavalry had already entered the city gate, headed by a forty or fifty-year-old man, dressed in the general's Xuanjia, with an extraordinary bearing, since he was the Yuyang County Shougong Sun He, who rushed to Li Guang's aid in time this time. When they entered the city gate, they saw Li Guang comforting everyone and did not come forward to disturb. At this time, Li Guang came over, and Gongsun He, who had already dismounted, greeted him.

"General Gongsun, this time the predicament of Qiansang has been lifted, thanks to the general, Li Guang is very thankful!" Li Guang hugged his fist.

"General Li doesn't have to be polite, I also followed His Majesty's order and sent troops to support, just in time for the Xiongnu army to besiege Qiansang, so there is today's battle!" Gongsun He said.

"Your Majesty's will?" Li Guang said in surprise.

"Naturally, if there is no Tiger Talisman of Your Majesty, how can I transfer troops out of Yuyang and rush to Qiansang!" Gongsun He said, "Although Your Majesty is in the temple, he has a good understanding of the situation in the border county, and it is expected that the Huns will invade our Yuyang and Dai County, and their real intention is to join forces to go to the valley, so they sent envoys to our Yuyang and Dai County with tiger talismans, and the old man led his troops to come to the rescue." If it is not expected, the reinforcements of Sun Ao, the county guard, are afraid that they are also coming! ”

"I see." Li Guang nodded, "Your Majesty is really a saint, if it weren't for that, the consequences would be unimaginable." ”

Li Guang took Gongsun He up to the city tower and talked all the way.

"It is said that the Huns still have a grudge against the siege of Mayi, which is why this revenge is happening. It seems that the days of the border county will be even more difficult in the future! Gongsun He said slowly, "General Li, how about the losses in Shanggu in this battle?" The result? ”

Li Guang smiled bitterly, sighed, showed a look of unwillingness and shame on his face, and said half-loudly: "The old man in this battle is really shameless to face Your Majesty!" ”

Outside the city, 1,500 foot soldiers had withdrawn from the mountains and forests, and marched towards the gate of Qiansang City with uniform steps. These soldiers are all holding their heads high, full of confidence, and even a little proud. They do have proud capital, in the military history of the Han army against the Xiongnu, there has never been an infantry unit with such a proud record as theirs! Not only infantry, but not in any class. First, he ambushed King Zuo Xian in the dark night, beheaded 2,000, and then attacked the rear of the Xiongnu army before, killing nearly 1,000 enemies, and then dragged a thousand Hun cavalry, and his own losses were only more than 100 people!

Li Guang slowly talked to Gongsun He about the experience of this battle, and finally concluded: "Among the soldiers led by the old man, the 2,000 cavalry were almost wiped out, the chariots no longer existed, there were few heavy infantry left, nearly half of the casualties of the light infantry, and more than 4,000 casualties, how could the old man be embarrassed?" Let the old man face His Majesty! ”

Listening to Li Guang's words, Gongsun He did not show the slightest melancholy, on the contrary, there was a faint hint of excitement, "General Li, the casualties of more than 4,000 people in your department are true, but your troops can behead nearly 5,000 people against the Hun cavalry with mixed arms of infantry and cavalry, such a record is unique since the founding of our Han Dynasty!" When His Majesty finds out, he will only praise the general! Why should General Lee be humble? ”

When Li Guang heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, with a complicated look on his face. In this battle, Li Guang was suffering defeat from the very beginning, and in Li Guang's impression, it seemed that he had been annoyed by the defeat and loss, and was worried about the next step! Now after Gongsun He said this, Li Guang suddenly found that he had achieved such a big result, which ...... I don't think I've been noticing much, huh?

If Qin Cheng was present, he would definitely think: This is probably the quality of a good general, don't worry about winning, but worry about losing.

"Alright, General Lee! In this battle, as long as General Li Xi has no out-of-the-ordinary losses, you will be a marquis, old man, congratulations in advance......" Gongsun He said with a smile.

Feudal marquis? Li Guang was stunned again.

Because Li Guang wanted to command the post-war affairs, and waited with Gongsun He for the news of the Han army pursuing the Hun cavalry, the two of them have been standing in the city tower. After a long time, the rumbling of horses' hooves came from the west,

It was the return of the Han cavalry who were chasing the Hun cavalry.

As the cavalry approached, Li Guang and Gongsun He on the city tower immediately discovered something unusual, and the number of this cavalry had doubled.

"Presumably General Gongsun Ao's reinforcements have arrived!" Gongsun He said with a smile.

The cavalry did not rush into the city of Qiansang, only twenty or thirty horsemen entered the city, and the others were lined up in the open space outside the city gate. The cavalry that rushed directly into the city gate was naturally the Qiansang City cavalry led by Ji Zhu, and of course Gongsun Ao followed into the city.

"Doctor, where is the doctor? Come out! These twenty or thirty horsemen rushed into the city, and did not immediately return to Li Guang, but first burst out with an anxious shout.

The shouting was Ji Zhu, the cavalry captain who was running at the front, but at this time, there was another person on his horseback, this person was sitting behind him, tied by him with his robe, and an iron arrow was prominently inserted in his back. The robes that bound the two had long been soaked with blood.

Hearing this, Li Guang walked down the city tower quickly, and shouted at Ji Zhu: "What's the matter? ”

Ji Zhu dismounted with the help of the sergeants, quickly untied the robe that was used as a rope, helped the man up, and put him on the stretcher brought by the medical officer...... Qin Jun let people shoot in the back of the chest! ”

"What?!" Li Guang was taken aback, stepped in front of the man in a few steps, and fixed his eyes to see who this was not Qin Cheng, but Qin Cheng closed his eyes tightly, his expression was painful, Li Guang tried to scream twice, but there was no response. Looking at Qin Cheng's body again, he saw that the armor on the back chest had been cracked, and the iron arrow was shot here.

"Quick, bring it in and heal!" Li Guang shouted urgently.

"No!" The medical officer trembled and answered the promise, beckoning for helpers to carry the man away.

"Medic!" Li Guang suddenly grabbed the medical officer and said sharply, "If Qin Lang can't be saved, then you are asking!" ”

"Please rest assured, the general will do his best!"

Seeing Qin Cheng being carried away, Li Guang's face suddenly became gloomy, and he shouted to Ji Zhu: "Say, what's the matter?" How could Qin Lang be hit by an arrow in the back?! ”

"This ...... The last general ......" was reprimanded by Li Guang, but Ji Zhu was abnormal, and he didn't know what to say.

"Say! What's going on? Li Guang shouted violently.

Ji Zhu was shocked by Li Guang's huge violent shock, but he fell to his knees all of a sudden, and said nothing after calling out "general" sadly.

"General!" Just as Li Guang was about to draw his sword to ask for the crime, Le Yi, who had been standing behind Ji Zhu, suddenly spoke up and said loudly, "General, Qin Cheng was injured by General Gongsun Ao!" Please also ask the general to uphold justice for Qincheng! ”

After that, Le Yi had to kneel!
