Chapter 8: Submission
The vast snow fell quietly, but when it just touched the ground, it was turned into a murmur by the blood, and the sky was still spitting snow, like tears.
The corpses in the moat accumulated, and the corpses stuffed the entire moat without a single gap, and the thick fresh blood pressure blocked the river water, and the cold wind quickly condensed hard.
The desolation of the four wilderness swirled with a fishy smell, but it did not affect the desperate struggle between the two sides of the war.
The killings continued.
When Lu Bu led the army into Jiuyuan City, he collided with Dongqiang's rear army, and the two sides did not talk, picking up knives and guns, and each chose an opponent to fight.
In the midst of the chaos, Lu Bu abandoned his horse and walked, and rushed to the front of the army with a halberd, but the Qiang people were too prosperous, he snatched Wei Yue's Pu knife, and swept away the Qiang soldiers in front of him.
But seeing a flash of cold light, several unlucky Qiang soldiers were cut in two by Lu Bu, and their deaths were extremely miserable.
The two Qiang generals saw Lu Bu rampage in the chaos of the army, and cut and chopping the Dongqiang warriors like turnips, and looked at each other at the moment, and at the same time fought their positions, wanting to fight Lu Bu with two enemies and one.
Lu Bujian raised his eyebrows slightly, raised his knife and walked up, and when the two approached, he suddenly rose in the air and slashed at the Qiang general on the left.
The general hurriedly stopped and met it with the hilt of his sword.
With a crisp sound of "pop", the handle of the Qiang general was broken in response, and Lu Bu's Pu knife was still unwielding, and the Qiang general was split in half with a knife.
At the same time, another Qiang general's horse lance came from behind and slammed it towards Lu Bu's chest, Lu Bu was not in a hurry, calmly responded, and pulled out his sword with lightning speed.
With a bang, the sword was unsheathed.
An arc-shaped sword light flickered, and with the dull sound of the blade cutting into the flesh, the throat of the Qiang general was cracked, and a wisp of blood appeared at once, and the blood flowed like an infusion.
The soldiers of the Han army saw that Lu Bu easily killed two Qiang generals, and their morale was suddenly shocked, and they all killed the Qiang soldiers with the momentum of a tiger descending the mountain.
As the army continued to deepen, more and more Qiang soldiers were encountered, and Lu Bu's weapons were also changed one after another, swords, guns, axes, and axes, and he was proficient in everything, and the soldiers of the three armies were dumbfounded.
Moreover, from the beginning of the war, no less than 800 Qiang soldiers died at his hands, and such a good record was enough to impress the three armies and make the enemy fearful.
"General, look!" Wei Yue was stabbing left and right with Lu Bu, killing happily, and he suddenly saw a group of Qiang people sneaking around, protecting a Qiang general towards the north gate.
"It must be the enemy's commander."
Lu Bu painted a halberd and flew over, grabbed a war horse, and rode the horse to chase after him.
When a Qiang leader saw Lu Bu coming like a runaway train, he immediately lifted his horse lance and met him.
"Poof!"
Fang Tian's halberd pierced through his chest, and the throat of the leader of the Qiang clan gurgled strangely, and he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground with a bang.
At the same time, two spears knocked Lu Bu's war horse to the ground, and at the moment when the war horse was about to fall to the ground, Lu Bu let out a light sound, his body leaped up like a goshawk, and the sharp halberd swept over the head of the Qiang soldiers, and between breaths, the Qiang soldiers who were blocking in front of him were chopped into flesh and blood.
The Qiang people have never seen such a fierce Han general, this Han general is as light as flying, and in a blink of an eye, he will kill his own army, and the sharp blades of the soldiers burst out in the sky-high sword light, but those who cover their edges are all killed.
"He is the flying general Lu Bu......"
The Qiang people were finally killed, and finally recognized Lu Bu, although he was killed and wounded, the Qiang people still pestered him to the death, and swore to cover the retreat of the main general.
It's a pity that the mantis arm is used as a car, the mayfly shakes the tree, and Lu Bu has a halberd for one person, and he kills the Qiang people, chickens, flying dogs, and jumping, regardless of north and south.
The sun was setting, but the bloody battle was still going on, and God seemed unwilling to see such a slaughter again, bringing the darkness of the night to the earth.
The main general of the Qiang army, Moth Shasai, rode his horse wildly, he was the first to rush into Jiuyuan City, and he was also the first to escape.
At this time, he was already sweating through his heavy clothes, and several wounds of different depths were gushing blood, he tried his best to stabilize his body, and led his subordinates to break through several Han defense lines in a row, and finally broke through the north gate.
"How many people escaped from the city?" His horse was foaming at the mouth and was full of spasms.
"General Hui, it seems that we are the only ......," the adjutant general replied tremblingly.
Under the brilliant lights, the gates of Jiuyuan City were slowly closed, and the gates were closed, indicating that there would be no more Qiang soldiers leaving the city, and their results would only be surrender and death.
Despite this, many Qiang people were still making their last struggle, and thousands of Han troops surrounded them like zongzi, and the shouts of the Qiang warriors became weaker and weaker, until they disappeared without a trace.
"10,000 troops, nine out of ten, after this battle, Dongqiang's vitality was greatly injured, how to gain a foothold in Mobei after that?"
Moth Cover looked at Jiuyuan City blankly, and his heart was gloomy.
In Jiuyuan City, when the Han army killed the last Qiang soldier who tried to resist, the Battle of Jiuyuan was declared completely over, and the Han army began to gather in groups to clean up the remnants of the Qiang people in the city one by one.
Lu Bu didn't have time to reorganize the army, so he hurried to the mansion non-stop, and the East Street at this time was enough to be described as purgatory on earth.
The whole street was filled with corpses, there were Qiang people, Han soldiers, and ordinary people, and at a glance, I don't know how much it is.
The bodies were all mutilated, some had their heads cut off, some had been cut in two, some had their limbs cut off, and none of them had their bodies cut off.
Among them, Lu Mansion is the most prosperous, and the layers are full of human corpses and horse remains, and the blood flow formed by the convergence is enough to hold up the heavy iron shield.
The so-called bloody rafting is to describe this scene.
"Bongxian!"
As soon as Lu Bu ran to the door, a man rushed out of the door and punched him in the chest.
Lu Bu looked at the blood gourd in front of him, and seemed a little unsure: "Are you Wei Xu?" ”
Wei Xu laughed, and quickly wiped the blood stains on his face with his clothes, who knew that the blood on his clothes was not only not wiped clean, but became more and more hideous.
Lu Bu pondered for a long time, and suddenly realized in his heart that when he was stationed in Wugong City in his previous life, Wei Xu did bring hundreds of people to help, Gao Shun and Cao Xing were among them, and these hundreds of people were the basis for the camp in later generations.
Thinking of this, Lu Buden was frightened, if there were no Wei Xu and Gao Shun in this life, this mansion would have been attacked by the Qiang people a long time ago, so wouldn't it be a ruined family?
He didn't dare to think about it, and hurriedly entered side by side with Wei Xu, but as soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
In Lu Bu's mansion, the number of human corpses and horse remains is so large that the shape is shocking, and at this moment, you can imagine how tragic the battle is.
It is a miracle that a few hundred people have been able to hold on to the attack of thousands of people until now, but it is even more difficult to reach the sky if they can still kill more than half of the enemy.
With Wei Xu's support, the injured Gao Shun stepped forward, hugged his fists at Lu Bu and said, "Gao Shun meets General Lu ......"
"Cao Xing, meet General Lu!"
Cao Xing was covered with wounds all over his body, he wanted to struggle to get up, but the wounds on his body hurt so much that he broke out in a cold sweat, and he could only sit on the ground and clench his fists towards Lu Bu.
Lu Bu hurriedly stepped forward, bent down to help Gao Shun, and at the same time turned his eyes to Cao Xing, and said heavily: "Thank you for your help today, but if you ask for something, you should do everything!" ”
Gao Shun gently waved Wei Xu's hand, then knelt on one knee, hugged his fists and said: "Gao Shun, a native of Pengcheng, the word Shuda, also once cared about the world, worried about the community, and after several years of patrolling, he finally met the general, and he was willing to serve the general, and he would like to serve the general, and help him with what he has learned, and hope that the general will agree!" ”
"In Xia Yanmen Cao Xing, the word Zijian, willing to serve the general before and after the saddle, do not avoid the axe and wok, and die with him."
"We are willing to swear to follow the general to the death and work together for the cause." The rest of the rangers fell to their knees and spoke generously.
Under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes, Lu Bu slowly walked in front of Gao Shun, he helped Gao Shun up with both hands, and a sour feeling of wanting to cry swept over, but he didn't cry, but pursed his lips and smiled, and finally laughed out loud, laughed out of tears.
Throughout his previous life, his life can be described as exhausting, but no matter how he is down, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Cheng Lian and other generals will never abandon him.
He believed that if he did not die, even if he was in his old age, his life was as decrepit as a wither, and he had trudged on a rough road all his life, he knew that they would follow him until the end of his life.
The wind was swirling and rising, and the leaves rattled together, as if someone's eager heartbeat.
Yan Ziqing sat on the couch, she was holding a cloak in her hand, and she threaded the needle neatly, and there was no room for mistakes.
The lights flickered, and the faint light sprinkled on the tip of her delicate nose, which looked very dignified and beautiful, elegant and refined.
"Huh~" The baby's cry came from the swaddling clothes, Yan Ziqing hurriedly put down the needle and thread in his hand, and gently picked up the baby, with a doting smile on his face.
Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps, and her gaze slowly extended into the distance through the window, and in the blurred corridor, a majestic body was outlined by the moonlight.
Yan Ziqing gently put down the baby and leaned softly against the window, she couldn't take a step, just stared at the face that was getting clearer and clearer, and two lines of tears flowed silently.
"Madame......"
The voice that had been missing for a long time was like a fairy sound, and Yan Ziqing finally couldn't hold back and cried.
At this time, Lu Bu is no longer a general galloping on the field, but a husband who has not returned home for a long time, facing Yan Ziqing who can't cry, only hugging can resolve the longing between each other.
"Madame, suffered."
Thinking of today's crisis, Lu Bu suddenly fell into deep self-blame, and involuntarily held Yan Ziqing's face and gently wiped away her tears.
Yan Ziqing's eyes were red, and her tears almost fell again, she sucked her nose and forcibly pursed her lips and laughed: "Compared to her husband, what is the suffering of the concubine?" ”
Lu Bu pursed the corners of his lips, reached out to stroke his wife's sideburns, and said softly: "I am fortunate to have you in this life!" ”
Yan Ziqing's face was as red as a peony waiting to be released, she gently poked Lu Bu's arm, and said with a smile: "You don't want to see Lingqi?" ”
Lu Bu suddenly realized, he hurriedly ran to the bedside, hugged the swaddling Lu Lingqi in his arms, and lowered his head and kissed his forehead from time to time.
"Huh~" Lu Lingqi was pierced by Lu Bu's increasingly lush scum, and she cried.
Yan Ziqing covered her mouth and snickered: "Let's let the concubine come!" ”
Lu Bu gently handed Lu Lingqi to Yan Ziqing, and then leaned on the door frame and watched quietly, looking at it like this for a long, long time.
