Chapter 55: He Li is late and the enemy retreats

Qibi He Li led the only remaining 800 cavalry in the city to charge in, breaking the gate of the camp of the gangsters, but what he saw along the way was a river of blood and corpses all over the ground, and Murong Xiao had already fled to the northwest with the remnants.

Ren is Qi Qi He Li has gone through a hundred treacherous battles, but is still shocked by the tragic scene in the camp, and when he walked to the periphery of the Chinese army's tent, he saw a blood-red Tang general, standing with a knife, he could no longer distinguish the color of the armor, and the blood and flesh were solidified on his body, which made people feel disgusted.

There are only four hundred soldiers left behind him, one by one seriously wounded, but he is proud and does not fall, his face is cold, but his eyes can't hide his grief and indignation, although this battle killed countless enemy soldiers, but the brothers of the Yongwu battalion lost five or six hundred people, but the remaining brothers, have never regretted, in this battle, they saw Xu Zhen's bravery, they saw the fierceness of Xu Zhen's own people, and they saw the kind of brotherhood between them!

When they saw the arrival of the men and horses of Chebi Holi, the eyes of the brothers immediately burned with rage, if they were able to strike decisively, why did the brothers die so tragically!

However, as a general, he must have a full plan, be cautious and take into account the overall situation, put himself in his shoes, if Xu Zhen came to defend Zhangye City, only 30% of the troops were left, and there was a riot in the enemy camp, he would not dare to attack easily.

Xu Zhen sighed lightly, and then slowly walked forward a few steps, although his steps were faltering, but the murderous aura was not reduced in the slightest, and the war horses of Qi Qi He Li retreated half a step back from instinct!

"Xu Zhen, the commander of Zhichong Mansion, dare to ask the person who came, but the soldiers under the command of General Qibi He Li?"

Qi Bi He Li was deeply shocked by Xu Zhen's temperament, and couldn't help but think of his appearance when he was young, he had always respected heroes, Xu Zhen led his troops to fight to the death, and relieved the siege of Zhangye City, this is a great kindness, a great achievement of pouring the sky, on the other hand, he is timid, there is no heroic spirit of the year, if it were not for Her Royal Highness Princess Jinyang, he was a little late, and the remnants of Xu Zhen would be buried!

Thinking of this, Qi Bi He Li was ashamed in his heart, he was already straightforward, and immediately dismounted and galloped, dragging Xu Zhen's wrist and said: "He Li is late, he almost killed your brothers, I am really ashamed to die!" ”

Everyone saw that General Youxiao Wei apologized so sincerely, and their hearts rose to admiration for this general, although the victory or defeat was a foregone conclusion, the deceased was gone, and apologies were useless, but before the raid, Xu Zhenbu could not pass on the news, and this battle was reversed, it can only be said that God blesses Murong Xiao.

"Don't be like this, the general must serve the country, he should shed his blood, he should be a good man of seven feet, he should guard the frontier for the country, he would rather return the body of the horse leather shroud, and not teach the wild captives to occupy the pasture, and the blood we shed, he will return it a thousand times in the future!"

"Good! Good! Qi Bi He Li said well, but it was not pretentious, it was actually infected by Xu Zhenbu's military spirit, many soldiers behind him heard about Xu Zhen's deeds, and saw that Xu Zhen could go straight to the clouds with Hou Junji's few beautiful words, so that many old soldiers were out of reach, and there was a lot of jealousy in their hearts, but what they saw today, they knew that they were worthy of the name, and immediately helped Xu Zhenbu clean up the battlefield.

Qi Bi He Li naturally settled into the city, and saw a general holding the head of the warrior, as powerful as this, and one of them held the famous murder weapon of the warrior, the iron thistle bone Duoer, who was also a tiger and wolf!

What's even more surprising is that one of the bloody young men actually squatted next to a silver wolf, the wolf's fur had already been soaked with blood, and there was still enemy flesh and blood on his teeth, and he was gnawing on half of his palm!

Seeing that Xu Zhen's subordinates were full of talents, fierce generals like clouds, and thinking of Xu Zhen's efforts to protect Her Royal Highness the Princess, Qi Bi He Li already regarded Xu Zhen as an upstart in the army that could not be taken lightly.

At that time, he wanted to rush back to the city to settle down, but he saw one or two hundred naked captives stumbling out of the mountains and forests behind the enemy camp, just like frightened rats, it turned out to be those fleeing recruits and prisoners!

When the brothers saw this group of cowards, they couldn't help but be furious, and they all shouted that they wanted to behead these rats, if it weren't for these cowards who had no eggs, how could everyone lose to that Murong Xiao!

These recruits and captives also know the stakes in their hearts, and if they leave like this, they will inevitably be treated as deserters by Gao Zhensheng, who is about to go north to Zhangye, and their heads will be cut off one by one.

Lieutenant Duan Zan was still in Xu Zhen's department, and Second Lieutenant Hou Zhang also accompanied the army, and everyone pleaded together, saying that they could not avoid death, even if they were slaves of cattle and horses, it was better than dying under Gao Zhensheng's overseer saber.

"Captain Xu will spare me and wait!"

"Xu Duwei let us live, we are helpless!"

"Captain spare your life!"

Qi Bi He Li frowned slightly, these recruits are really far from Xu Zhen's subordinates, Zhang Jiunian knew the status of Qi Bi He Li in the army, and knew that this tribal general had won His Majesty's favor, so he hurriedly whispered the cause and effect, and Qi Bi He Li was also angry.

But in the final analysis, they are still Xu Zhen's soldiers, and how to deal with them naturally requires Xu Zhen to make the final decision.

Xu Zhen looked at this group of people, and his heart was like that of many brothers, he was so angry that he wanted to kill people as soon as possible, but after calming down, how could he not be greedy for life and afraid of death? If you change to yourself, with no long objects and no defenses, can you really muster up the courage to go up and fight the enemy with complete swords and armor? Or wipe all your necks clean so that your own army can be unscrupulous and sweep the enemy to ashes?

If you can't do it yourself, how can you force others to die?

Xu Zhen is not a bad person, whether in the present world or in the Tang Dynasty, he understands the difficulty of survival, and he has never been soft when he should be ruthless, but after experiencing the cruelty of the cold weapon war, he cherishes human life more and more.

"General, these are all new soldiers, the first time to fight, it is normal for people to have stage fright, the wild captives have killed enough of our brothers, I don't want to see them die in the hands of their own people, why don't you let them act as slaves and help repair and defend Zhangye County?"

Qi Bi He Li's eyes lit up, as if he saw the shining point on Xu Zhen's body, and agreed with appreciation, this group of people kept kowtowing, grateful to Dade, and ashamed of their actions, and did not dare to look directly at the heroic sons and daughters who died on the battlefield.

Soon after Xu Zhenbu settled in Zhangye City, Gao Zhensheng received the military report from the front, but he didn't expect Xu Zhen to dare to raid the Ganggang camp with 200 men and horses from the headquarters and 800 brave warrior battalion brothers.

Such a great achievement, if it is reported truthfully, even if someone makes a contribution to it, and finally falls on Xu Zhen's head, it will be a great reward!

Moreover, Qi Bi He Li has always been upright and upright, and he is loyal to the saint, he was captured by the rebel tribesmen and forced to surrender to Tiele Xue Yantuo, he swore to die unyieldingly, facing the east and pulling out a knife to cut his ears, in order to show his loyalty to the saint, now Xu Zhen has established a great merit, and secretly protects the princess of Jinyang, how can Qi Bi He Li humiliate his merits?

Gao Zhensheng didn't expect Xu Zhen to be able to surrender the Yongwu Battalion, and he didn't expect that the Yongwu Battalion would be willing to die for Xu Zhen, but fortunately, Hou Poyu, Duan Zhan, and Zhang Shenzhi were still by Xu Zhen's side, the higher Xu Zhen climbed, the wider the involvement, and the more beneficial and harmless it was to major events!

Thinking of this, Gao Zhensheng hurriedly ordered his own soldiers, passed the order, commanded the army on the same day, and rushed to the aid of Zhangye!

The consumption of this battle is too great, but fortunately, although Zhangye has been trapped for a long time, but the rotten ship still has three catties of iron, and hurriedly summoned the medical officers and servants to serve the heroic sons of Xu Zhenbu.

Mo Ya and Kaisa spent most of the day treating Xu Zhen's wounds, and seeing the wounds all over his body, he was shocked, and Li Mingda, who came to visit halfway, couldn't bear to cry, and even Li Wushuang, who had always looked at Xu Zhen, was shocked.

On that day, she went up to the watchtower and saw the extremely tragic battle between the two sides with her own eyes, and then looked at the half-dead Xu Zhen, where did she dare to have a little contempt in her heart.

Recuperating in this way, Xu Zhen did not forget to familiarize himself with the Zoroastrian classics, and discussed with Mo Ya whether to take advantage of his serious physical injury to practice the Seven Holy Sword Secret Method, but Mo Ya categorically rejected this proposal.

At the moment, the injury is serious enough, and taking the opportunity to cultivate the Seven Holy Sword Secret Method does have a certain convenience, but where can such suffering be borne by humans?

After Ran Moya left, Xu Zhen immediately called Caesar into the room, he is not pressed by debts, he is not afraid of bites when there are lice, anyway, dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water, why not strike while the iron is hot?

Caesar couldn't survive Xu Zhen's combination of soft and hard, so she could only grit her teeth to assist him in his cultivation, but she always didn't understand in her heart why Xu Zhen treated herself like a masochist, and she also had to cultivate the Seven Holy Swords.

As far as she knew, the Seven Holy Swords were generally cultivated by the Holy Sons in the sect since childhood, and began to cultivate when the bones had not yet grown and the body was soft and boneless.

And Xu Zhen's body bones have been formed, although the flexibility is not bad, but it is far from a child, and starting to cultivate the Seven Holy Swords at this age is no different from self-harm!

Qibi He Li also visits from time to time, he also has a lot of good feelings for Xu Zhen, Xu Zhen does not dare to hide anything from the general, since Her Royal Highness the princess has arrived under the wing of Qibi He Li, a super loyal minister, he will also be frank and straightforward, shaking out the matter of accidentally killing the Qibi cavalry.

Behind this, there is naturally Hou Poyu's "credit", and even Hou Junji can't get rid of it, but this kind of thing can't be said clearly, and it will stop at the point, and Qi Bi He Li is not a stupid person, so he naturally knows that it is greasy.

In fact, he has already passed through the intelligence channel of the Qibi clan, and quickly sent a secret report back to Chang'an, the intelligence of the Qibi clan does not take the post road, even if someone with a heart wants to intercept and kill halfway, there is no way to start, otherwise he will be like Li Daozong, he can't even send a message back to Chang'an.

After informing Xu Zhen of this, the latter was also greatly relieved, and carried a baby princess with him, which was tantamount to pinning his head to the waistband of his trousers, and now he was finally able to relax.

But he couldn't sleep, in fact, he hadn't slept all night since the war, and all kinds of bloody scenes always tormented his mind and kept him from closing his eyes.

Thinking of the dead brothers of the Sale and Rouran tribes, he couldn't be happy at all, and a thought suddenly rose in his mind, and he hurriedly asked: "General, if you have a reluctant request, I beg you to help me back..."

Qi Bi He Li didn't shirk it, and pressed Xu Zhen's shoulder and said: "Xu Shaojun doesn't have to be so polite, there is something but it doesn't matter, as long as the old man can do it, he will not shirk." ”

Xu Zhen was able to get the words of Qibi He Li, and he was a lot more relieved, and after thanking him, he said his thoughts, it turned out that he was thinking that after the war was settled, the people of the Sale tribe and the Rouran tribe would be transferred and resettled to Ganliang Erzhou, where there were the people of the Qibi tribe, pastures and fields, sufficient water sources, and fertile land, which was enough to save the people of the Sale and Rouran tribes from the pain of migration, and they could get the protection of the Qile tribe, which could be regarded as a kind of compensation for the dead brothers.
