After half a night of bloody fighting, both sides were already sleepy and lacking horses, especially the Huns, who had already been beaten by this group of fierce enemies and their legs were weak, if it were not for their own strength, they would have been wiped out by Shi Min and his subordinates.

Da Shan Yu saw that Shi Min took the initiative to retreat, and he was relieved in his heart, and at the same time he was very angry, thinking that he had been fighting all his life, and there was actually this day, he was almost defeated by a stinky kid, and suffered heavy losses. So when the Huns saw the Han army retreating, they did not pursue, and fought for several hours, and they were already exhausted, and they had no heart to pursue at all.

Shi Min led his subordinates all the way to run south, ran for dozens of miles, and saw that the Huns did not catch up, so he ordered everyone to stop.

"General Xue Zan, count the number of people!" Shi Min gasped and commanded Xue Zan.

"Yes!" Xue Zan nodded, then turned the horse's head and ordered his men to count the numbers.

Shi Min got off the horse, looked around for Zhang Mufeng and Wang Chong and others, after a night of scuffle, everyone had already dispersed, and when they retreated, everyone listened to the horn of the herald and acted, and they didn't have time to see who was around.

On the grassland in the early morning, the breeze blows, and there is still a chill. After fighting all night, the sweat that flowed out had already soaked Shi Min's whole body, the wind blew across his cheeks, and the pores of his whole body couldn't help but tighten a little. Shi Min clenched the halberd in his hand, looked up at the rising sun in the sky, the rising sun in the east, but what he saw was like the remnant sun and blood, perhaps because his body was still stained with the smell of Hun blood, which made him have such an illusion.

Shi Min held a halberd in his hand, slowly walked past the soldiers, and looked at the soldiers who were covered in blood and disheveled, sitting on the ground panting, a little sad. These are all true warriors, all of whom have sacrificed their lives in battles to defend their families and country. On this expedition, they slept in the open along the way, did not eat a mouthful of hot food, did not drink a mouthful of hot soup, and those brothers who had just died in battle did not even end up with a horse leather shroud, which is really miserable to think about.

"Major General!"

"Major General!"

When the soldiers saw Shi Min walking towards them, they all stood up and saluted, Shi Min hurriedly pressed a soldier next to him, and said to everyone: "Brothers, you have worked hard! Don't get up, rest first! ”

The soldiers will naturally not sit down obediently like this, the original respect for Shi Min was only out of his strength and identity, and now after several battles, Shi Min and the soldiers can be described as friends of life and death, this kind of life and death friendship on the battlefield, very people can understand.

Shi Min finally comforted the soldiers in front of him to sit down and rest, Xue Zan ran over, gasped and said to Shi Min: "Major General Qiyu, I have just sent someone to count it, if none of the people who are alive are left behind, we still have 8,235 people left, and about 1,300 people died in the battle." ”

"So much?" Shi Min was stunned for a moment.

Xue Zan was a little surprised when he saw Shi Min looking at him, and hurriedly explained: "Among the more than 1,300 people, about thirty percent of the brothers in the headquarters are in the headquarters, and the rest are those who were brought out from Yanmen Pass. ”

"Who told you to say this?" Shi Min glanced at Xue Zan and continued to walk forward.

Xue Zan was a little inexplicable by Shi Min, he originally thought that Shi Min was distressed because he was worried that his brothers in his headquarters would lose too much, but now he seems to be worried about the more than 2,000 Yanmen Pass guards.

"Have you seen Wang Chong and Zhang Mufeng?" Shi Min suddenly stopped, turned his head and asked Xue Zan.

Xue Zan was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that when he had just counted the number of people, he didn't seem to see these two people, shook his head and said to Shi Min, "I didn't see it." ”

Hearing Xue Zan's answer, Shi Min couldn't help but feel a little worried, although these two people had known him for a short time, they seemed to have a tacit understanding with Shi Min, and they were of the same age, so they had a good relationship.

"Hurry up and send someone to find out, did anyone see them during the scuffle last night?" Shi Min immediately commanded Xue Zan.

Xue Zan saw Shi Min's nervous expression, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly bowed and said, "Don't worry, the young general, the last general will give orders." ”

Shi Min looked around, looking for Zhang Mufeng and Wang Chong, but he never saw these two people.

Seeing that the sun was gradually rising, Shi Min and the others had stopped for half an hour, and although Xue Zan led people to search for them one by one among thousands of people, they still did not find these two people.

Shi Min was sitting on the ground, his head down, thinking about things, when Xue Zan suddenly stood in front of him and shouted, "Young General! ”

Hearing Xue Zan shouting at him, Shi Min immediately raised his head, expecting to see Zhang Mufeng and Wang Chong standing in front of him, but he still only saw Xue Zan standing in front of him, and then shook his head at him.

Shi Min immediately stood up and asked a little nervously, "Have you watched them one by one?" ”

Xue Zan's face was a little sad and a little lost, and he said slowly: "The last general has already brought people to look for them one by one, but I didn't see the two of them. ”

Hearing Xue Zan's words, Shi Min "chuckled" in his heart, could it be that Zhang Mufeng and Wang Chong died in the raid last night?

Xue Zan saw Shi Min's serious expression and comforted: "Young General, most of these two little brothers died in battle, don't be sad, we soldiers, dying on the battlefield is the highest glory, and the two of them can follow you on the expedition, and it can be regarded as not living in vain!" Eighteen years later, he is a good man again. ”

Shi Min naturally understood that Xue Zan said this to comfort him, but life and death did not have such a deep feeling for him, and if the people around him left suddenly, it would be a little difficult for him to accept for a while.

At this moment, a familiar voice faintly came from the distance: "Major General! ”

When Shi Min and Xue Zan heard this, they hurriedly raised their heads, and saw from a distance that Zhang Mufeng and Wang Chong were rushing here with a few people, looking like they were in the dust.

Everyone saw clearly that it was Zhang Mufeng and Wang Chong, and hurriedly ran up with Shi Min.

When Shi Min and Xue Zan ran to them, they saw that these people were all in rags, and some of them were injured, looking a little embarrassed.

"Are you all right?" Without waiting for Zhang Mufeng and the others to get off the horse, Shi Min asked with concern.

Zhang Mufeng, Wang Chong and others hurriedly jumped off their horses, knelt down directly in front of Shi Min and said, "Young General! I failed to return to the team in time, please forgive the major general! ”

Seeing that a few more brothers were alive, everyone also added a sense of comfort to their hearts, and Shi Min hurriedly asked them to get up and asked, "Why did you catch up?" We all thought you were all killed last night. ”

Wang Chong and Zhang Mufeng looked at each other and smiled, Zhang Mufeng said first: "Let the young general worry, when we heard about the retreat, we were besieged by a group of Huns and failed to break through in time, so we fell behind." ”

"I see." Shi Min nodded, raised his head and asked Wang Chong again: "Didn't you follow me all the time last night?" Why are you with Zhang Mufeng? ”

Wang Chong scratched his head a little embarrassed, and said: "I knew that I followed you at first, but it was too chaotic later, so I didn't pay attention, and I rushed wherever I saw the Huns, and then I ...... I didn't see you......"

When Xue Zan and the others saw Wang Chong's embarrassing appearance, they couldn't help but laugh "haha", only to hear Xue Zan say: "You kid is really nonsense, I don't know that you can't fight alone when you fight?" We are one and all actions must be commanded! Can't mess around! ”

"I don't care so much......" Wang Chong lowered his head and didn't dare to refute again.

"It's all right!" A stone in Shi Min's heart finally fell to the ground, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go and rest!" Xue Zan waved at the few of them and said.

"Yes!"

After Zhang Mufeng, Wang Chong and the others led the horses away, Shi Min was about to turn around and go to rest, when Xue Zan suddenly said: "Young General, the last general has something to discuss with the young general." ”

Shi Min turned around, saw Xue Zan's serious face, and didn't dare to slack off, and asked, "General Xue has something to say, don't be polite." ”

Xue Zan looked around, but did not speak immediately, Shi Min saw him like this, so he said, "Let's go, talk here." ”

Xue Zan nodded and followed Shi Min to a short distance.

The two walked out for more than a hundred steps, Shi Min turned around and asked Xue Zan: "General Xue, if you have anything to say, no one can hear it now except you and me." ”
