Xuan Shijing pulled out the horizontal knife hanging on the horse's back, but did not immediately rush forward, although he has lived in the Tang Dynasty for more than ten years, but he has never killed anyone, but he changed the horizontal knife like this and immediately on the edge of the battlefield, and soon there were Tubo people eyeing him.

Xuan Shijing's figure is not burly, if it is not a black leather armor, everyone thinks that this is a well-mannered scholar, even if Xuan Shijing is now wearing leather armor, there is no soldier or general, persimmon to pick a soft pinch, this is not only the Tang people, but also the Tubo people, the two armies against each other, naturally to pick the weak people to start.

Several Tibetan soldiers broke away from the battlefield and pressed towards Xuan Shijing's side.

Xuan Shijing turned over and jumped down, holding a horizontal knife in his hand, frowning at the few Tubo soldiers in front of him.

He really didn't kill anyone

A Tibetan soldier slashed at Xuan Shijing with a scimitar.

Xuan Shijing blocked the scimitar with the horizontal knife in his hand, raised his leg along the way, and kicked the soldier's body, although Xuan Shijing was young, but after more than ten years of exercise, his strength was not small, and he kicked the Tubo soldier to the ground, and the surrounding Tubo soldiers saw this, and they all held the scimitar and slashed at Xuan Shijing.

Xuan Shijing resisted sideways while fighting back with the horizontal knife in his hand, but he never killed these soldiers.

Cheng Chumo, who was fighting in the formation, accidentally turned around and saw the situation here, and hurriedly rushed to Xuan Shijing's side, one by one, to solve these Tubo soldiers, and grabbed Xuan Shijing with one hand and protected him behind his back.

"I said Shijing, my brother sees that you are not good at your skills, why don't you solve them directly?" Cheng Chumo asked.

"I'm not afraid of my brother's jokes, Shijing really can't do it." Xuan Shijing smiled helplessly, seeing the tragic situation on the battlefield, Xuan Shijing's stomach had already tumbled, but he was forcibly pressed down, Xuan Shijing remembered that when he was in the expedition team before, his teammates had agreed with each other that if something unfortunate happened that day, if anyone could not bear it and died, the teammates could eat the corpse of the dead and live, but they had to take care of the family for the dead.

This seems to be an unacceptable agreement, but in the harsh living environment, as long as there is a little bit of ** alive, it is nothing.

But at that time, it was just a verbal agreement between everyone, but now what Xuan Shijing saw was not a good corpse, but a stump and broken remains, and the blood that flowed to the ground quickly soaked into the desert, dyeing that piece of yellow sand into a dark red.

Just as the two of them were speaking, another group of Tibetan soldiers surrounded them.

"Brother Chu Mo, how long have you been fighting here!" Xuan Shijing resisted the attack of the Tibetan soldiers and asked Cheng Chumo beside him.

"It's been a long time." Cheng Chumo's face was also a little grim at this time: "There is a steady stream of soldiers in Tubo, as if they can't finish fighting, it should be that the scouts have misestimated their strength." As he spoke, Cheng Chumo slashed the two of them again, and the horizontal knife in his hand already had some remnants and blades, and it was a bit laborious to kill people.

"Brother, in Shijing's opinion, let's hurry up and break through and retreat to Stone City." Up to now, Xuan Shijing also has a general understanding of the current situation, Cheng Chumo stationed in Shicheng has a little more than 2,000 troops, including more than 100 auxiliaries, plus 300 people left in the camp, Cheng Chumo brought more than 600 people in this battle, even if the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are one enemy and two, now it is estimated that the enemy's strength has obviously exceeded 3,000, and fighting in the field is extremely unfavorable to the Tang army.

Cheng Chu silently heard this, and also felt that what Xuan Shijing said made sense, the number of troops attacked by Tubo this time was no longer the number of small fights in the past, and it was obviously not a wise move to spend it like this when he didn't know the specific information of the other party.

With his hands free, Cheng Chumo took out a seal letter from his arms and threw it to Xuan Shijing: "Shijing, you hurry up and take my seal back to the camp, explain to the brothers who stayed in the camp, immediately pull out the camp and retreat into Shicheng, I will intercept it here for a while, buy some time, remember, be fast!" ”

Xuan Shijing took the letter and replied: "I know, Brother Mo can't be in love, and breaking through quickly is the best policy." After speaking, he picked out a Tibetan cavalryman with a sword, turned over his horse, and ran towards the camp.

Shicheng is located at the edge of the Western Regions, the east and south are the remnants of the Kunlun Mountains, stretching for hundreds of miles, suffering from uninhabited, and the west and north are deserts, in general, the geographical location of Shicheng is not perfect, nor is it a fortress leading to the Western Regions, to put it bluntly, it can only be barely regarded as a border military town, the harsh environment of Shicheng makes the supply of the army extremely difficult, all the military supplies in Shicheng are transported in by the sandbar through Yangguan, all the way are deserts, and there are no people for hundreds of miles, so Cheng Chumo will regard the materials in the camp as so important, If the battalion is lost, I am afraid that the soldiers of this battalion will be trapped in the desert because of the lack of supplies before they have died on the battlefield, because if there is no material in the battalion, the soldiers of the entire stone city will not be able to hold on to the day when the sandbar transports the materials.

Gao Jun and Long'er waited anxiously at the gate of the camp, looking into the distance from time to time, for fear of missing Xuan Shijing's signal, but there was still no movement, which made Long'er's heart very worried.

Long'er paced back and forth at the gate of the camp, muttering: "Why hasn't the little marquis believed yet." ”

Gao Jun really couldn't stand it anymore, and said loudly: "It's a good thing that the little marquis didn't send a signal, which shows that their situation is not so dangerous. ”

"But I'm not at ease." Long'er still didn't stop, but in her line of sight, a person and a rider suddenly appeared, and when she looked at it, it was Xuan Shijing who was galloping.

Before the horse stopped before the camp arrived, Xuan Shijing jumped off the horse, crossed Gao Jun and Long'er, rushed straight into the camp, and shouted: "Who is the head of the camp now?" ”

Hearing Xuan Shijing's shout, a sergeant ran out from behind the tent, saw that it was Xuan Shijing, clenched his fists and said, "The subordinates are." ”

This person Xuan Shijing has seen it, it is the sergeant who just stopped Xuan Shijing's carriage outside the camp, and it is precisely because of this that this sergeant knows Xuan Shijing's identity, otherwise he would not be so polite to an outsider.

Xuan Shijing didn't say much, and directly took out Cheng Chumo's seal letter: "General Cheng's military order, immediately pull out the camp and retreat to Shicheng, the sooner the better, General Cheng will fight on the front line to buy time for you." ”

As soon as the sergeant heard this, he understood that there must be a situation ahead, and the situation was not good, so he responded to Xuan Shijing, and then turned around and went down to give an order.

"Pull out the camp !!"

The soldiers left behind on all sides of the camp were busy in full swing.
