Xue Shao pulled a rope and tied the little boy and threw him to the back of the house, "The fart is big, don't make a mess!" Squat here! ”

Then, Xue Shao pulled back his horizontal knife from the Turkic and still killed it.

Niu Ben's martial arts are not very "exquisite", but he is naturally brave and infinite, and with the Da Mo knife, the fierce man is unstoppable, and he has already cut down four or five Turkic soldiers around him. The rest of the people were shocked by the giant bear-like monster and fled for their lives.

Xue Shao rushed out with a knife, and Niu Ben was overjoyed when he saw him, "White-faced, you're not dead!" ”

"Bullshit!" Xue Shao scolded angrily, "Kill the enemy!" ”

"Okay - kill all these bastards!!"

The two of them formed a team and slashed and slashed.

The Turkic soldiers faced the surprise attack of a hundred elite Tang troops and the uprising of the villagers, plus the leader was first killed by Xue Shao, and the group of dragons was leaderless, and they were quickly slaughtered and collapsed.

None of the fifty-two Turks survived, and all of them were reduced to corpses. The angry villagers could not forgive the bandits who had killed their loved ones, none of the Turkic corpses were intact, and after the battle was over, there were still people who tore at the corpses of the Turks, and even bit off their flesh and devoured them alive.

The three knives asked the soldiers to appease the villagers as soon as possible and deal with the aftermath. After killing this group of Turkic soldiers, they will not be able to stay here for a long time, and they must be allowed to withdraw south as soon as possible and go to annex the state.

Xue Shao found the little boy and untied the rope for him, the little boy was quite angry at first, but then he cried loudly when he saw the headless female corpse that was the first to be destroyed at the door of the house.

That's.

Xue Shao pulled a sheet to cover the female corpse and squatted beside the little boy, "It's a man, don't cry." Find out what other relatives you have. ”

The little boy really stopped crying, and shouted everywhere to find his relatives. It turned out that his grandfather, father, and young siblings were all dead.

The little boy didn't cry, Xue Shao and the other guards felt a little strange, and they were also worried that he was too stimulated and went crazy, so several people surrounded him to persuade him and coax him.

"Uncle, I want to join the army and kill the enemy to take revenge!" The little boy's immature voice was categorical.

Xue Shao squatted in front of him, "But you are still young and your strength is not enough." ”

The little boy's expression was very stubborn, "You said it all, I'm a man!" ”

Xue Shao smiled and wiped the blood from his face, "Be obedient, and after ten years, join the army again." ”

"Where have I been in the past ten years?"

The little boy's words made Xue Shao and the others fall silent.

The villagers gradually calmed down and began to collect the bodies of their relatives and prepare for evacuation. A woman in her thirties walked up to Xue Shao, hugged the little boy and said, "Shan Yanzi, let's go with my aunt!" There are only two of us left in the old Qin family, I will raise you and let you go to the army to avenge your parents, uncles and brothers! ”

"Good!" The little boy agreed very decisively, and looked up at Xue Shao, "Uncle, what's your name?" ”

Xue Shao touched his head and smiled slightly, "Tang Guard!" ”

"One day, the mountain boy will also become a brave and majestic Tang Guardian like his uncle!" The mountain boy said loudly.

Xue Shao smiled and pinched his face, "You are called Shan Yanzi, do you have a big name?" ”

The little boy shook his head, "My father can't read, so he calls me a mountain boy." ”

"The surname is Qin, right?" Xue Shao said, "I'll give you a big name and use it when you join the army in the future." ”

"Good!"

"It's called-Qin Poyu!"

Guo Sandao walked over with two people, waved his hand to Xue Shao, and Xue Shao walked over.

"Well done." Four simple words, Guan Sandao still said without emotion, and then immediately changed the topic, "Are you literate?" ”

"Yes."

"Write a Feng Chi newspaper and send it to General Li in Bingzhou." "Tell me about the situation here in general, and say that we continue to reconnoiter forward." ”

Xue Shao said: "Let's just say that the Turkic forces have arrived in Tanglin Village, Daizhou, and threaten to merge the state at all times." Our department continued to advance into the two states of Shuodai to investigate, and the people who moved south were expected to be taken in and resettled. How's that? ”

"Okay." Guo Sandao waved his hand, and the two people next to him handed over pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Xue Shao wrote this report with Lantian secret code, and was just about to put it into a wooden tube and seal it with clay glue, but he grabbed it and took a look, and immediately called Xue Shao to a secluded place, "What did you write?" ”

"Rush to report."

"Although I don't know much about writing, I also know that you are not writing Chinese characters!" Sandao stepped forward and glared at Xue Shao, lowered his voice and said, "How can the coach understand such a report?" ”

Xue Shao smiled slightly, "Don't worry, if this report unfortunately falls into the hands of the Turks, they will definitely not be able to understand it." But the secretary next to the coach will definitely be able to know! ”

"I have long seen that you are not simple!" The commander roared in a low voice, "Say, who are you?" ”

Xue Shao took a breath, still smiling, "Just like you, Tang Guard." ”

Sandao's eyes narrowed, stared at Xue Shao for a long time, turned around and left without saying more, and said loudly: "One hour, clean up the battlefield and set off again!" ”

In a fierce battle, the Tang army and the villagers were victorious, but many villagers were killed and wounded, and the Tang army also sacrificed 17 people, and another four were seriously wounded, not counting minor injuries.

The villagers and the guards buried the bodies and disposed of the wounded, and Guo Sandao sent a fast horse to deliver the gallop report, and sent six guards with minor injuries to escort the villagers and the seriously wounded to the south.

Of the one hundred and three Tang troops at the time of departure, there are now seventy-five left to continue their march.

When the people and horses gathered in the team, Qin Poyu came to find Xue Shao, "Uncle, can I see you again?" ”

"Perhaps!" Xue Shao smiled and pinched his face, "You are a man, you must protect your aunt and fellow villagers well in the future, listen to your aunt's words, and honor her." ”

"I will." Qin Poyu nodded seriously, "If I want to find you, where should I go?" ”

Xue Shao squatted down and smiled, "Don't look for me." You just have to work hard, study more and practice martial arts diligently, and be a pure man who stands up to the sky. When you become a general one day, we will be able to meet! ”

"Men are big husbands, words have to count!" Qin Poyu nodded seriously, "When I become a general, you must come to see me!" ”

"Come, high-five is an oath, a word is a decision!"

Qin Poyu swore with Xue Shao very seriously, then ran back with a small burden on his back and took his aunt's hand, and walked away with many villagers step by step.

"Brothers!" The three knives shouted, and everyone stood solemnly.

"Although we have eliminated this group of Turkic rangers who have come to rob the village in depth, our personnel have also been reduced by more than twenty. The front is not optimistic, since there are Turks infiltrated here, it is estimated that the Great Wall border defense cave Kaishuo Prefecture has fallen, and there are also a lot of Turks in Daizhou who are looting and burning everywhere. What we need to do now is to continue to advance forward, to find out as much as possible about the enemy, and to rescue as many people as possible. But we have limited manpower and can't do it brutely. Going down, the situation will be even more dangerous. Brothers must be vigilant and obey orders. Don't just want to kill the enemy, our main task is to find out the enemy's situation! ”

"Yes!"

"All on board!"

The group got on their horses and formed a circle around the grave where the fallen Tang soldiers were buried, silently.

"Take off your hat, raise your soldiers!"

Everyone held their scarves in their hands, and raised their weapons high in the other.

"Rest in peace, brothers!" Guo Sandao said loudly.

"Rest in peace, brothers!" The sergeants shouted in unison.

Several of the guards shed tears, but no one cried.

"On the day of victory, we will come again to pay respects!" Guo Sandao said loudly, "Let's go!" ”

Xue Shao put on his shackle and glanced at the lifeless empty village, the most affected by the war are ordinary ordinary people. No matter what era, the duty of a soldier is always sacred - to defend the homeland and the country!

Xue Shao and his entourage of seventy-five people continued to advance north along the mountain road. Along the way, they found a lot of scattered fleeing people, and the soldiers comforted them and guided them to flee to Bingzhou, where there was the main force of the Tang Dynasty. In addition, from the mouths of these fleeing people, we learned a lot about the situation ahead.

Shuozhou, which was previously guarded by Cao Huaishun, the head of the Shuofang Road march, had indeed fallen completely. The Turkic army chased the remnants of Cao Huaishun into the Great Wall Pass, and then washed the entire Shuozhou in blood, robbing a large number of cattle, horses and people, and there were almost no more life in the entire city. Although the Turks did not directly attack the seat of Daizhou and the well-fortified Yanmen County for the time being, they infiltrated through the gaps in Shuozhou's various defensive lines and carried out retaliatory and destructive burning and looting against the remote villages behind Yanmen.

The Turkic steppe has been ruled by the Tang Dynasty for fifty years, and God knows how much resentment has accumulated in the hearts of the Turkic people.

Dou Huai, the governor of Daizhou, could not and did not dare to divide his forces to stop these Turkic bandits who had been reduced to pieces, so he could only sit in Yanmen and try his best to ensure that the city pass and the state city were not lost. Otherwise, the Turkic army will really all be killed in the Great Wall Pass and bloody the hinterland of Hebei!

"We have to meet Dou Huai, the governor of Daizhou, in order to really implement these situations! For the time being, it is not possible to rush back on the basis of the refugee's side, so as not to mislead the main forces in the rear. Guo Sandao was very cautious and said, "Brothers, cheer up and continue to march towards Yanmen!" ”

In the evening, Xue Shao and his party walked out of the mountain forest. Ahead, you can faintly see the continuous mountains and mountains, and there is no longer the cover of mountains and forests. This is the famous Yanmen County in ancient times, the important dangerous pass on the Great Wall, Yanmen Pass, and the Yanmen County of Daizhou, which is in front of you.

Looking at the mountain and running dead horses, the mountain road is rugged and difficult to travel, and this road has to go dozens of miles. From the middle of last night to the present, there has been a fight, everyone is obviously tired, and even the war horses are a little weak.

"Brothers!" Guo Sandao said, "Be sure to enter Yanmen before it gets dark!" ”

Suddenly there was smoke and dust ahead.

Xue Shao jumped off his horse and put his ear to the ground to listen for a moment, and said loudly: "A large group of men and horses are coming, there are cavalry!" ”

"Hidden!"

Kuang Sandao immediately took the man back into the woods and hid. There was a bad premonition in everyone's hearts - could it be that Yanmen had also fallen?!

It didn't take long for a large number of people to run in front of them, about hundreds, crying dad and shouting mother, there was chaos, obviously a group of refugees fleeing for their lives. Behind them, a group of Turkic cavalry was in pursuit, their bows and arrows flying wildly and slashing like tigers into a flock of sheep.

Guo Sandao did not hesitate to give a loud order, "Kill the enemy and save people!" ”

"Situation, please slow!" Xue Shao hurriedly stopped, and said quickly: "The number of enemy troops is not less than hundreds, and I am afraid that a rash attack will hurt hundreds of people, and we may not be able to beat it!" - It is better to have the brothers scattered all over the woods, blow their trumpets and shout loudly, and sweep up the dust and smoke with the branches of the trees. If the Turks retreat, then I don't have to fight and chase after others; If the Turks do not retreat, we will attack them from all sides with the momentum of encirclement, or we can take the initiative first! ”

When everyone heard this, they praised the "art of war" in unison.

Xue Shao looked at Guo Sandao almost willingly, "Boss, listen to me!" ”

Guo Sandao squinted and stared at Xue Shao for a moment, and shouted-"Do as he says!" ”
