Feng Chou Nian and Yang Kaishan couldn't help but be annoyed, due to the difficulty of the road, his four banners could only travel more than 60 miles a day in the past two days, even if he accelerated the footsteps, but it was still just the end. Looking at the soldiers under his command who were panting and dissatisfied, Yang Kaishan and Feng Chounian really felt a little sorry for them, and planned to appease them after they went back......

Xu Hui was cleaning the battlefield with his five hundred auxiliary soldiers, collecting the weapons and armor scattered all over the place into the car he brought, and at the same time sending people to count the prisoners and baggage.

Han Feng led his troops to take care of the laborers of the people who were squatting on the ground, and more than a dozen sharp-eyed soldiers under the leadership of Su Wencan carefully screened whether there were any thieves mixed in, and from time to time some sneaky and suspicious people howled and were dragged out by them......

Lieutenant General Chen Qingqi caressed and patted his beloved horse, and his face was radiant.

"The casualty statistics of each flag in this battle have come up, a total of seventeen people in our banner were injured, no one was killed, and all of them were minor injuries, and the ...... of marching troops was not affected after dressing and bandaging," Guo Tao reported to Liu Ce about the loss of 1510 flags, "Most of the injuries were caused by the backlash of the cavalry when they hit and stabbed, and two other cavalrymen were cut on the shoulders and legs by knives, and now they have been bandaged with gold sore medicine and bandages to avoid ......infection."

Liu Ce nodded, very satisfied: "Those soldiers with wrist joint injuries should also wipe them with bone-setting medicine, so that it can be faster, don't fall sick on such a cold day, go to Xu Hui to get medicine......"

"Thank you for your care." Chen Qing hugged his fists and led his life, feeling a warm feeling in his heart.

"Guo Tao, how are the casualties in your banner?" Liu Ce then asked Guo Tao beside him.

"General Qiyu, eight people were wounded, no one was killed, and the wounded soldiers have been dressed with medicine." Guo Tao is very satisfied with the performance of his flag department today.

"Zijun, have I counted the banner?" Liu Ce looked at Chu Zijun with a look of concern.

"General Qiqi, four of my Zhengqi people were wounded, no casualties, and now ......"

After listening to the casualty reports of the banners, Liu Ce exhaled and said in his heart: A total of twenty-eight people were injured in this battle of my Jingwei battalion, and all of them were minor injuries that did not affect the march. It's worth it!

Just when Liu Ce was still immersed in the joy of victory, Xu Hui brought the fruits of this war victory.

"General Qiyu, found 3,760 corpses of thieves, more than 1,400 prisoners, 470 sets of leather armor, 87 sets of iron armor, 1,133 horses, of which 980 can be used as mounts, a total of 3,400 blades, only nearly half can be used, and the rest need to be repaired by Master Feng. In addition, there are 840 sets of bows and more than 85,000 arrows, in addition to the estimated 100,000 catties of various iron tools and blades, and 28,000 catties of iron bars and iron blocks cast by fine iron, 82,000 stones of grain, more than 30,000 bundles of forage for livestock, more than 1,000 bags of charcoal, a number of knife wound medicines, more than 400 mules, horses, donkeys, and trolleys......

Listening to the seized materials reported by Xu Hui, Liu Ce knew that this trip had made a lot of money again, and the iron problem that caused him the most headache was temporarily solved, and the strength of the Jingwei Battalion would be further improved.

After Xu Hui reported these figures, he sighed: "It's a pity that I rushed early and late, but I was still a step late, and I couldn't deliver the vest in time, and I hope the general will punish me." ”

Liu Ce said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, this march should be regarded as a long-distance raid drill, not to mention that manpower can not be compared with horsepower, it is also my thoughtlessness, in the future, I will definitely let everyone in the Jingwei battalion ride horses to enhance the efficiency of the march, so as not to delay the military aircraft." ”

Xu Hui nodded, and then said, "General, what to do with those people?"

"Huh?" Hearing this, Liu Ce looked at the people huddled on the side of the baggage, and fell into deep thought......

"Chen Qing, you kid has made a great contribution this time!" Yang Kaishan said to Chen Qing who was feeding the mount black beans with a jealous look on his face, his tone was full of sourness, he learned from Sun Biao and others that the thousands of thieves killed by Chen Qing's more than 300 horses in this battle were turned on their backs.

Chen Qing saw that the black beans in his hand had been eaten by the beloved horse, and couldn't help but smile at Yang Kaishan: "It's not that the general has taught me well, and told me how to train cavalry to fight, plus the help of riding armor, riding spear, ring head knife, stirrups, and saddle to have such a great victory, our general is really a god......

Yang Kaishan nodded, feeling the same way: "The general is indeed a god, and he has seen too many miracles since I met him......

Chen Qing patted the horse's neck and said: "The general also said that in the future, a riding training will be added to the daily training, and all the soldiers of the Jingwei Battalion must learn to march immediately, increase the efficiency of maneuvering, and strive to be a 'dragoon' that can come and go freely, and can quickly reach any battlefield." ”

……

On the other side, Xue Peng and Qin Mo watched the soldiers of the Jingwei Battalion cleaning up the battlefield, and couldn't help but sigh: "I, Xue Peng, have been served, I think I, Xue Peng, have also been on the battlefield for a long time, and I have never seen such a way of fighting, how did I do it?" ”

Qin Mo smiled and didn't say a word, but looked at Liu Ce in the distance with a more determined gaze......

"Are you sure these people are not people, but thieves?" Liu Ce came to the place where the baggage was, and asked when he saw the hundreds of people who were tied up by Su Wencan on the side.

Su Wencan said: "I have asked those people to identify them, and there will be no mistakes, and more than a dozen others who tried to escape have been corrected on the spot." ”

"Very good, you will be the scout captain when you go back, and I will arrange the centaurs for you, so let's have a hundred people for the time being." Liu Ce was very satisfied with Su Wencan's performance.

Su Wencan suppressed his excitement and clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for the cultivation!" ”

Liu Ce shook his head and said: "No need to be polite, I promised you a few days ago, you should fulfill your promise, and you must remember not to slack off!" ”

Su Wencan's eyes lit up: "Obey!" Promise to live up to the general's trust! ”

"Hmm......" Liu Ce nodded, "Take these thieves to the captive circle and dispose of them together later." ”

Su Wencan took the order to take these disguised thieves out, and then looked at those people, and couldn't help but worry, what to do with these people?

Just as Liu Ce was about to turn around and walk to other places, suddenly a young man blocked in front of him, knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"What are you doing here?" Liu Ce didn't stop him, "If you have something to say, get up and say it." ”

The young man knelt on the ground and raised his head, only to see him with his hair scattered and his face covered with stains, and said, "Please take me in the strong man!" I'm willing to be a cow and a horse! I just want to avenge my father and mother......"

Liu Ce didn't answer him directly when he heard this, but glanced at Wu Zhenying on the side, and then said: "Old Wu, you take him to Xu Hui's place to apply some wound medicine, and then let people prepare to cook, these days I have eaten dry food, I can't stand it if I don't have some heat." ”

After speaking, Liu Ce ignored the young man who was kneeling on the ground and wanted to leave, but the young man hugged his leg violently and said, "Please take the strong man in!" ”

"Presumptuous, no rudeness." Wu Zhenying hurriedly pulled him away from Liu Ce's legs.

"Please take it in! Avenge my father's mother! The boy roared heartbreakingly.

Liu Ce stopped, turned around and said coldly, "Why should I avenge you?" What are you doing when I'm in the Jingwei Camp? Yes? Are you a tool for revenge? Then, without waiting for the young man to speak, he said to Wu Zhenying: "Old Wu, ask Xu Hui to cook more, just use the heavy materials, it is estimated that he will not be able to move it all, so he simply made those people's shares!" ”

……

Bursts of cooking smoke rose over the battlefield, and in front of more than 100 cauldrons, hundreds of auxiliary soldiers and hundreds of people were observing the fire, constantly watching the bubbling rice soup in the pot, and filling some firewood into the fire from time to time.

"Alas, it's a pity that I, Nie Pan, still didn't have a chance to harvest military merits this time, it's really sad, otherwise I would have been a captain after this battle, alas~" In front of a cauldron, Nie Pan, the commander of the Wu Nian under the command of Feng Chounian, was constantly sighing and sighing, but looking at that expression, it was a calm and light look, which was very surprising.

"I said Brother Nie, I don't see what you are dissatisfied with, what are you sighing." Huang Hengyun heard Nie Pan talking to himself when he passed by, and couldn't help but stop and ask.

Nie Pan said with an embarrassed face: "Huang Jiachang, you don't know, this time I missed, I don't know that the Year of the Monkey and Ma Yue can make new contributions, alas~ Just Fengqi always told me, in view of my poor performance this time, my army only assassinated dozens of thieves, and there is no hope for the position of the first chief, but I will tell the general to give me a long time, I feel very bad in my heart...... Alas...... Do...... Wow......"

Huang Hengyun kicked directly in anger, damn it, no wonder Lao Tzu seemed to be smiling when he saw you sighing, and his feelings were about to be promoted.

"Boy, don't run, come back to me! See if I don't smoke you to death! Huang Hengyun shouted and chased Nie Pan in the crowd, and at the same time had a sense of crisis in his heart, he had to work hard, otherwise it would be too embarrassing to be climbed on top of him by the recruits.

"Cut, what an old man, and still worrying about children, it's really a shame for our veterans." Not far away, Zuo Shuo looked at one big and one small running back and forth with disdain, and couldn't help but shake his head.

……

After a hot meal, Liu Ce, Guo Tao, Chen Qing, Qin Mo, Xue Peng and others felt a lot more comfortable, especially Xue Peng, who hadn't eaten hot food for dozens of days.

Qin Mo said to Xue Peng: "General Xue, I don't know what to do next?"

Xue Peng was stunned for a moment, and said slowly: "Naturally, the idea is to go to Caizhou City first, and then transfer to Shengzhou to return the news of the young lady to the master." ”

Qin Mo said: "But now that the southern part of Heyuan has been completely blocked, how can General Xue go to Caizhou?"

"This ......" Xue Peng is worried about these, now he and his soldiers have been running for months, and they have become a lone army with nowhere to go, and now the southern roads are not passable, what should I do if there is a lack of food and clothing in this cold day?

Liu Ce saw Xue Peng's face was embarrassed, so he said loudly: "If General Xue doesn't mind, why don't you go back to Meihe Town with my Jingwei Battalion to rest for the time being, and wait for the battle of Wuliang Town to have a result before making plans, how about it?" "This time the extermination of the thieves won a complete victory, Xue Peng's army also contributed a lot, Liu Ce's opinion of him gradually improved, and he couldn't bear to see him wandering around again, so he planned to invite him to camp in Meihe Town.

When Xue Peng heard this, he looked at Qin Mo again, only to see Qin Mo nodding with a smile, and immediately bowed down to Liu Ce to thank him: "In this way, Xue is welcome, thank you for the strong man!" ”

Liu Ce replied: "General Xue is very polite, today I saw that the general was brave, and when I returned to Meihe Town, I would not hesitate to give advice, so don't shirk." ”

……

"Aren't you in pain?" At the baggage point, Xu Hui's auxiliary soldiers were dressing the young man with medicine and bandaging his wounds, but when he saw the medicine applied to the wound, he couldn't hold back a word.

"I want revenge!" The boy kept muttering to himself, his eyes full of hatred.

The auxiliary soldier sighed: "Little brother, I won't tell you, we are ordinary people who have been plagued by thieves like you, if we hadn't met the general, I'm afraid we wouldn't have lived today, who doesn't have a grudge?" Do you think which of my Jingwei camps doesn't hate the thieves to the core? ”

The young man's eyes lit up and he said loudly, "I want to join the Jingwei Battalion!" ”

"Don't think about it, you're so small, the general won't want you." The auxiliary shook his head.

"Big brother, you say! How can I join the Jingwei Camp?"

"It's impossible, looking at your appearance, you're only thirteen or fourteen years old, and the general won't accept you."

When the young man heard this, his eyes immediately dimmed, and the hope that had just risen was dashed in an instant.

"Prepare for execution!" An angry roar pulled the boy back from his daze, and he looked at it stupidly, and his pupils suddenly dilated.

But in the distance, behind the thieves who were kneeling on the ground and tied in a string, rows of spears were aimed at various vital points on their bodies.

Feng Chou Nian is in a very bad mood now, which can be said to be extremely bad, because this battle did not catch up with the big scene. Although there are still some gains, but chasing and killing some of the defeated soldiers and generals does not show how brave they are at all, most of them have not even drunk the soup and are already quite dissatisfied in private, which made him even more annoyed after hearing this, so this execution was handed over to him and Yang Kaishan to pick some soldiers with the greatest grievances to execute, so as to calm their anxious emotions.

"Execution!" Feng Chou Nian roared angrily, and in the cry of the thieves, the angry execution soldiers behind him pierced the spears in their hands into their backs, and they all twisted the spear shafts cruelly, causing the thieves to let out heart-rending cries.

"Done! Next group! After confirming that these thieves had lost their breath, Feng Chou Nian let out another shout.

Just as he was about to order the execution, one of the thieves suddenly shouted, "Why kill me!" Why! Lao Tzu is also a rebel! Bullshit Elite Camp ......"

"Smack!" Before he finished speaking, Feng Chounian kicked him to the ground with a corner, then grabbed his hair and said viciously: "Damn! Lao Tzu is in a bad mood now, and he doesn't want to die, right? Then you can change the way you die! ”

As soon as the words fell, Feng Chou Nian pressed hard, pressed the thief's face into the dry and hard ground, and a spider web was pressed around his head, and then he roared and kept squeezing the back of his head, but seeing that the thief's body couldn't help but struggle and twist, it didn't take long to hear a crisp "pull" bone cracking sound, and a pile of blood scattered from under the thief's face......

By the time Yang Kaishan stepped forward to pull the frenzied Sealing Sorrow Nian, the thief had already stopped struggling and lost his breath, and a bold soldier went up to open his body, and his face turned pale suddenly. I saw that the thief's face was still half human, the whole face was broken flesh and bones, and cold sweat broke out behind the eyes, and the emotions of the executing soldiers calmed down a lot, and the thieves kneeling on the side saw the tragic situation, and immediately stopped crying in fright......

More than a thousand thieves were all executed in this way, Xue Peng couldn't calm down when he looked at this scene for a long time, and looked at Liu Ce, who was calm on the side, and stopped talking.

In the afternoon, the seized materials have been sorted and cleaned up, and a wagon full of baggage has been ready to go, because there are too many materials, Liu Ce, Qin Mo and others finally decided to move all these people to Meihe Town to make plans, and they can carry this batch of baggage by the way.

"Don't want these messes, look at them, what are they, no wonder the thieves are still like birds for more than ten years." Han Feng looked at the more than a hundred demi-human high god statues and was speechless for a long time, what do you want this thing to do in a war? And those spring palace pictures, women's underwear, Xiupa and other things were all thrown away to reduce the burden of the march

"Mr. Yang Qi, what to do with more than 7,000 stones of grain?" On the other side, there was still some grain in the open space that could not be moved, and a soldier asked Yang Kaishan with a headache.

Yang Kaishan waved his hand: "It's all burned!" Not a grain of grain will be left for the thieves, starving to death the ...... raised by this group of bitches"

"The flag is mighty!" Sun Biao patted Yang Kaishan's ass at the right time, "I'm good at setting fire, leave it to me, and promise that when the thieves find out, they won't even get a grain of rice ash!" ”

Yang Kaishan nodded with satisfaction, Sun Biao immediately led dozens of people to pour some of the seized wine on top of the rice grain, and then took out the fire folds on the firewood and lit it......

"Let's go, go back to Mae River Town!" Liu Ce mounted his war horse and shouted. Immediately, thousands of soldiers on the field erupted into deafening shouts.

"It's snowing...... Qin Mo muttered to himself as he looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky, and his thoughts drifted back to the Far East, missing his wife and children......

The huge army slowly stepped onto the path from which it came, looking like a long dragon from a distance. The difference is that the mood is not as nervous as when he came, Yang Kaishan and Feng Chou Nian's banner department also stepped on the captured horses, although there is only a single stirrup, some are not suitable, but fortunately, you only need to sit firmly on the horse, but it is not so difficult.

"In this situation, I want to sing a song." Yang Kaishan suddenly didn't know why, looking at the snowflakes in the sky, he wanted to sing, Sun Biaofeng, Chou Nian, and Chen Qing also nodded when they heard it, indicating that they also had this intention.

"Sing if you want to, don't hold back, but sing together, Xu Hui! Band plays! Liu Ce smiled and ordered Xu Hui's military band to accompany.

An interracial monochord sounded, and the cheerful rhythm ignited passion. The surrounding soldiers sounded the prelude of "hey, hey" in unison

Liu Ce glanced at it, took a deep breath, and took the lead in singing:

The snow is flying, looking at the battlefield

Who wants to be alone and stay in the center

Iron Horse Kingo is empty and brilliant

Where can I go with the horses?

A glass of liquor and guts

Dare to ask about the injustice and chaos in the world

It doesn't matter how strong the obstacles are in front of him

Vow to turn the troubled times into auspiciousness

The sand swept away the sorrow

The dust falls and no longer wanders

The family and the country are all over the world

A glass of wine is drunk

Even if there are thousands of people, it doesn't matter

I took my sword to the battlefield

It doesn't matter how many miles he has to go

I returned to my hometown with an iron heart

Even if there are thousands of people, it doesn't matter

A good man is not afraid of thousands of waves

It doesn't matter how strong his enemy is

Defend his wife and children and his hometown

Defend your wife and children and your hometown! (The lyrics of the desert hero have been changed slightly, and the melody of the Hongmen banquet Liu Jiajun)

"Hey~hey~hey~hey~"

The singing of thousands of Jingwei Battalion soldiers resounded in the sky, echoing on both sides of the valley, making Xue Peng's heart extremely excited......
