After the ship docked, the uninjured one of the two horsemen, with the help of Sun Jianxiong's corporaries, lowered his companion who had been hit by an arrow in the back from his horse, and was carried into the cabin by everyone in a prone position. Now there is no military doctor around, and no one dares to easily pull out the arrow on the back of the wounded.

The unwounded horseman handed over the two horses to Sun Jianxiong's men and led them to the boat. He himself followed the wounded man into the cabin, with a look of horror on his face.

Seeing this, Sun Jianxiong knew that most of the remaining members of this cavalry squad were already very lucky. Under the cover of more than 200 of his own subordinates on the north bank, the boat slowly rowed towards the north bank. Sun Jianxiong looked at the horseman with a sad face, and his heart was also gloomy.

There were eleven people when they crossed the river, but now only two people have returned, plus the last batch of horsemen who went out of the sentry horse, but in just a few days, the Guangwu cavalry has lost twenty people.

Anyone who faces such a devastating non-combat attrition will be moved by grief. Sun Jianxiong is no exception. Although his relationship with the two captains in the cavalry team was not very close, he could be regarded as watching them grow up step by step from the pawns. However, now such a disaster was suddenly encountered, but in just a few days, the two team leaders were lost on the way to the enemy. Seeing the loss of talents in the army one after another, even if he was not his subordinate, he felt extremely sad!

During a verbal conversation with the uninjured horseman, Sun Jianxiong quickly learned what happened to their group.

Yesterday afternoon, they crossed the river and first went to the camp of Diqiang on the bank of the Taoshui River to investigate. Then he retreated for more than 20 miles and found a cave as a foothold. Unexpectedly, when everyone went to the Diqiang camp again to investigate the military situation, they were ambushed by the enemy's cavalry.

Eleven cavalry fought hard, but the enemy was numerous, and eleven people were gradually defeated. Lin saw casualties, and his side was already overwhelmed. made the two of them break through and report the news. And Lin team led back and continued to fight to the death with a knife. Leading the remaining robes, he successfully covered them from the enemy at his own cost.

However, the enemy army did not seem to intend to let them go, and pursued them all the way. During the pursuit, the enemy fired a wave of arrows from time to time, and the robe next to him was hit by an arrow, and with his support, he galloped all the way back. When approaching the riverbank, it seemed that Sun Jianxiong's troops had set up camp here to meet them, and those enemy troops gave up the pursuit of them.

The horseman talked about what happened to him and Tong Ze along the way. When it comes to sadness, I can't help but burst into tears. He also tried to ask Sun Jianxiong, the captain of the shooting voice, to lead his subordinates to cross the river and snatch back the remains of Lin and the rest of the robes. After Sun Jianxiong asked the approximate location of the cavalry fighting with the place, he was silent for a while.

When the cavalry saw this, he knew that Sun Jianxiong was probably embarrassed. With tears in his eyes, he said: "Yesterday, I waited for eleven people to set off together, and now, the team leader also died in a foreign land to cover us, and our duty to report the news has also been completed, and it is hopeless to retrieve the body of the war dead. Then he stood up, grabbed the edge of the boat with both hands, and was about to jump into the river.

Sun Jianxiong was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly shouted to his subordinates to stop him. Fortunately, the non-commissioned officer of the Shooting Sound Battalion under Captain Sun Du also reacted very quickly, and the cavalry grabbed the edge of the boat before jumping up, and a soldier of the Shooting Sound Battalion beside him had already stopped and hugged him. He struggled reluctantly, but the previous escape had almost exhausted his strength. He struggled for a while, but in the end he was unsuccessful. Only grabbed the edge of the boat, and burst into tears.

Sun Jianxiong looked at the appearance of the horseman, and his heart was also uncomfortable. It wasn't that he didn't want to cross the river to retrieve the bodies of his fallen comrades. It's just that he only brought more than 200 subordinates to come, and they were all crossbowmen. Once you have crossed the river, if you encounter a large number of enemy troops, you will not be able to defeat them, and you will not be able to run. It can be described as a life of nine deaths.

Sun Jianxiong could only comfort the rider and said: "Don't be sad, I'm waiting to report here, and the thousands of governors will not sit back and watch the rampant on the south bank!" ”

Hearing this, the sad horseman finally stopped crying, and then nodded heavily.

As soon as the ship docked, Sun Jianxiong jumped onto the shore and loudly summoned two hundred soldiers to gather and bring them back, quickly dismantle the temporary camp facilities, and prepare to return to the camp.

After receiving the order, the soldiers gathered and brought back, and then everyone began to get busy like crazy. They dismantled the tents, uprooted the barracks, and loaded the tents and other supplies onto carts towed by mules and horses. Then, a few soldiers drove the carts on the road and galloped back in the direction of the camp. More than 200 soldiers of the Shooting Sound Battalion, after cleaning up the remaining debris on the camp, lined up and drove back in the direction of the main camp.

Sun Jianxiong took out the soldiers of the shooting battalion to return to the camp in line, which made Du Jie, the governor of the thousand people, excited for a while, and at the same time, there was a faint sense of uneasiness in his heart.

He was excited because there had been no news from the sentinel for several days, and with the return of Sun Jianxiong's team, it seemed that there was news, but the faint anxiety was because Sun Jianxiong's return seemed to be earlier, and this group of horsemen should have stayed outside for three days, but now, it seems that it has not reached three days. Returning ahead of schedule, is it a sign that the sentinel who went out has encountered an unforeseen omen?

Du Jie's mood was very complicated for a while, and when he walked out of the tent to the gate of the camp, so as to take a closer look, he saw that at the front of Sun Jianxiong's team, two soldiers used a simple stretcher, carrying a soldier who was lying prone on the stretcher and was hit by an arrow in his back, and after entering the camp, he ran straight to the military doctor. This made Du Jie's heart suddenly cast an ominous shadow.

He saw that Sun Jianxiong dismissed his subordinates, ordered them to return to the camp, and then walked straight towards him with a sad-looking soldier.

When Du Jie heard the bad news, he felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.

The two teams of cavalry sent to reconnoiter the cavalry can be called the elite of the Guangwu army. In particular, it was the two team leaders who led the team. Now it has been wiped out in just a few days, for Guangwu, a county that does not produce horses and has few horsemen, it is tantamount to cutting meat from the tip of the heart!

Du Jie forced his composure and calmed the surviving horseman, and then instructed Sun Jianxiong to take care of the two surviving horsemen, and the injured were treated by the medical officer. The two horsemen temporarily resided in the Shooting Camp and were not allowed to move around at will. Sun Jianxiong took the order and left.

Du Jie, who suddenly felt that the six gods had no master, retreated from the guards who followed him, and walked towards the big tent where Li Yanzhao was alone.

Li Yanzhao got up, was removing the gauze wrapped around his right arm, and when he inspected the injury on his arm, he saw that as soon as the curtain was lifted, Du Jie, the thousand-person governor, walked into his small tent, and then walked to the front of the case with a worried look, and saw that Li Yanzhao was inspecting the injury, and Du Jie also looked at it carefully for a while.

Fortunately, the injury has been greatly improved after careful recuperation in the past few days, and the blisters on the lower arms have gradually deflated, and although the scabs in the blood hole are still hideous, it seems that they are gradually improving.

Du Jie pondered for a long time, and finally opened his mouth and said: "Today, Sun Jianxiong has to report back to the report, and the scout led by Lin Chao yesterday only belongs to two people. ”

"A few days ago, Chen Quan's department, who went out of the camp to scout, still hasn't heard from him?"

Hearing Li Yanzhao's question, Du Jie shook his head helplessly: "Chen Quan's department is still nowhere to be found. ”

Li Yanzhao's face couldn't help but become solemn. Even if Chen Quan came out, he didn't carry five days of dry food. It's the fifth day, and if they're still out, they'll be back anyway.

However, there is no news, which means that most of the team has already suffered an accident.

Folding two teams in a row, plus twenty carefully cultivated cavalrymen, was undoubtedly a huge blow to him, a hundred cavalry commanders of the Guangwu Army.

"Thousands of people supervised Mingjian, two sentry teams in succession, all of them were intercepted and killed, and their subordinates were suspected to be Chen An's department on the south bank, and they have discovered the actions of our department and set up an ambush for our department."

Du Jie nodded when he heard this, Li Yanzhao's opinion almost coincided with him: "Now that the two team leaders have been killed in battle, your department should choose the best and take the lead of the team." Du was determined to wipe out all the enemy troops who had repeatedly set up ambushes against our sentinels. The specific action will still be agreed by the generals, and a certain self-meeting will be tabled to the king. ”

Li Yanzhao got up and stood in front of the bed, and arched his hand: "I am willing to attach a thousand people to supervise Jiwei." ”
