Chapter 362: Searching for No Trace

In fact, as long as you look at the clothes of those corpses, you can tell that they are not Yang Zhen. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but Cai Yingyang still stepped forward and leaned down to see the appearance of the deceased clearly, for fear that there would be any mistakes or omissions, and at the same time, he couldn't stop praying in his heart, praying that there was no Yang Zhen in it.

Subsequently, some people from the Jinyi Guards also stepped forward to check, it was Zhong Yu, who, after a little hesitation, was also looking for Yang Zhen's whereabouts among the corpses without hesitation like those soldiers. Yang Zhen was trapped in such a Jedi because he helped him get out, and Zhong Yu's heart was naturally full of guilt.

However, no matter how carefully they searched, they searched through the hundreds of corpses that had fallen up and down the mountain, but they did not find Yang Zhen's whereabouts. Zhong Yu was relieved at this time, as long as Yang Zhen's body was not found, then he was likely to be alive.

"My lord, I remember, the second brother led those Tartars away to the west before." Cai Yingyang suddenly shouted.

Zhong Yu was reminded by him like this, and only then did he recall the previous details. Because he was frightened, and his heart was full of guilt and anger, his heart became a mess, and he completely forgot about it. At this time, I thought that I was able to get out, completely because Yang Zhen and the others did not hesitate to lead the Tartars away from the vicinity of Bai Mountain!

Thinking of this, Zhong Yu did not hesitate, and immediately walked back to the mount, turned over and got on the horse. It's just that as soon as the other person sat in the saddle, he felt a pain in his inner thigh, which made his movements slow. At the same time, Lu Cheng's hand also stretched out and grabbed his bridle: "Slow down, adult." ”

"What are you going to do?" Zhong Yu glanced at the other party with fear, he was still wary of this guy.

"My lord, it's been half a day, even if you knew that Yang Qianhu was heading west, but now he must still be in the west direction? The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and changing the direction of travel is a common thing, and we can't find it aimlessly. ”

"Then we're not looking for it, are we? If General Lu feels that this is too time-consuming and laborious, you can go back to Datong, and we will find it ourselves!" Zhong Yu said angrily.

"That's not what Xia Guan meant." Seeing that Lord Qincha was angry, Lu Cheng hurriedly explained: "But you have to have a strategy to find someone, not only will you not find anyone if you look around, but you may also encounter those Tartars, which will be too much to lose." In my humble opinion, let's go back to Datong first and think about it for a long time before ......"

"No!" Zhong Yu waved his hand resolutely and said: "They are in such a situation because they want to save the official, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, the official must also find them!" ”

These words were spoken loudly, and in the ears of the sergeants, it was even more moving. You must know that the Ming Dynasty is a hierarchical era, and officials like Zhong Yu are far more expensive than ordinary soldiers, and he can even completely ignore the sacrifices and efforts of these people, and the soldiers dare not have too many complaints. And now, from his words, people can hear his gratitude to these people, and naturally it is easy to move the soldiers.

And these words also made Lu Chenglao's face blush, as a general leading the troops, how could he not know how precious the life of a sergeant was. But he also has other responsibilities on his shoulders, and he must ensure Zhong Yu's safety, otherwise it will be a big disaster for him and Liu Yingji and the others behind him.

Just as he was about to say something more, several subordinates beside him had already spoken: "General, although it has been half a day, they will always be injured in the battle with the Tartars, and they must not be able to go far." Even if we can't be sure where they're going, it's just that range, so why not let everyone search separately? The south side is the direction we came from, there is no need to turn back, other directions, people can look for it, and there are always some clues to be found. ”

"Yes, General, it's good to save one."

"General......

Seeing that everyone under his command had a look of longing in their eyes, Lu Cheng knew that he was powerless to change their minds. In fact, deep down in his heart, he also thinks the same thing, how can people who have come over between life and death all the year round not be moved by this act of sacrificing themselves to save others? After being silent for a while, he finally nodded: "In that case, my lord, you can choose one direction to search, and the other two directions will be left to us." ”

"This ......" Zhong Yu was still a little hesitant in his heart, because he didn't dare to guarantee whether these people would really help him. But in the current situation, it is really inappropriate to disperse the already small number of men and horses under his command, and it will be dangerous if he encounters the Tartars again, so he can only nod and say: "Okay, then there will be generals Lao." I'll take someone to the west to look for it, and I'll leave it to you in the east and north directions. ”

"Okay." Lu Cheng nodded happily, nodded the names of his subordinates, asked him to divide half of the men and horses to the east, and go north by himself, and then arched his hand to Zhong Yuyi, who couldn't wait to take people to the west, and said, "My lord, please pay attention to your own safety." ”

After Zhong Yu and the others traveled a distance to the west, someone saw the corpses of several people lying on the ground in front of them, which made them feel a thrill in their hearts. Obviously, the direction is good, but the situation is not necessarily rosy. Because it was the man who fell in the color of the Ming army's uniform.

The crowd did not dare to slack off, and hurried forward, and then checked. found out that they were just ordinary soldiers, which made Zhong Yu and Cai Yingyang a little relieved, at least what they were worried about had not happened.

Along the way, they saw many corpses one after another, including both Ming soldiers and Tartars. Obviously, in the running battle, the Ming army still has a certain combat effectiveness, and can still deal with the enemy on horseback.

Finally, after running twenty miles, a terrifying scene appeared in front of everyone's eyes again.

It was in an open plain, and it was filled with the corpses of the dead, and a rough sweep of them numbered three or four hundred. Obviously, after some chasing and fleeing, the Ming army was finally caught up by the Tartars because of their horsemanship or horsepower, and they fought the most tragic battle here.

Judging from the fact that the number of dead here far exceeded the number of corpses at the foot of Baishan Mountain, we can infer how fierce the battle was. And when they saw the scene here, Zhong Yu and Cai Yingyang's whole hearts hung up, could it be that Yang Zhen and the others were all wiped out here?

Because of such a terrible thought in their hearts, the two of them were a little afraid to go over to see what was going on, but just sat on their horses and looked at the motionless corpses from a distance.

Finally, the other soldiers were able to let go, and when they saw that Lord Zhong was stunned, they dismounted and walked over, and carefully examined the corpses. After a while, Zhong Yu came to his senses, quickly rolled off the horse, and walked to the corpses with Cai Yingyang, who had also just come back to his senses, and bent down to check them.

The fighting here is indeed fierce and unusual. Almost every corpse was mutilated, and many Ming soldiers died with their tartars. Although they had been stabbed several times, before they died, they still plunged their weapons into the enemy's vital points. There were even a few pairs of enemies who strangled each other's throats with both hands and strangled each other to death.

Looking at the scene in front of him, the hearts of the living soldiers of the Beijing camp were greatly shocked, and they couldn't imagine that their comrades like themselves were so brave and fierce, even if they died, they would die with the enemy. This realization made their hearts twitch violently, and their eyes were red. They couldn't even wait for the Tartars to come at this time, so that they could fight like these dead comrades and avenge them.

People, especially men who are soldiers, always have a fire in their hearts. Normally, this fire may not burn due to cowardice, greed and other reasons, but when you come into contact with something that can make your blood boil, this fire will burst into flames, and even this fire is so fierce that it can burn your own body!

But now, it is impossible for an enemy to appear for them to vent their anger, and they can only face the tragic death of their robes. This made the whole area seem extremely depressing, and almost no one spoke, just silently looking at the corpses of their own people, hoping to find one alive.

"Liu Heizi ......" Suddenly, Cai Yingyang shouted, breaking the silence of the scene. In front of him, lay the corpse of one of Yang Zhen's most powerful subordinates, Liu Heizi, whose chest and abdomen had been cut with a knife, and the internal organs inside were all dripping to the ground. But the knife in his hand slashed into the neck of a leather-armored tartar, nearly knocking off one of his heads.

When he saw Liu Heizi's corpse, Cai Yingyang's heart rose to his throat. He knew very well that several of them, like Liu Heizi, were Yang Zhen's most trusted subordinates, and they would inevitably follow Yang Zhen in wartime. If even he died in battle, wouldn't it mean that Yang Zhen was also on the verge of life and death.

Once this thought came to mind, Cai Yingyang didn't even have the courage to continue searching for the remaining corpses.

It was Zhong Yu who calmed down at this time. It's a foregone conclusion, and it's useless for you to be afraid, so you might as well find out.

But this time, it was still the same as in Baishan Mountain just now, except for finding the bodies of Liu Heizi and Lu Siming, it had nothing to do with Yang Zhen.

When this fact was confirmed, Zhong Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief again, and his heart calmed down a little. At least for now, things haven't turned out for the worst. But at the same time, he also had a question in his heart: Where did Yang Zhen go next? If he really continues to go west or north, I'm afraid that the situation will not be too good? Or was he already ...... long before he was here?

Cai Yingyang on the other side was also full of confusion at the moment, hoping to find Yang Zhen as soon as possible, but also not wanting to see Yang Zhen's murdered body: "Second brother, where are you?" ”
