On the battlefield of Makinogahara, the battle has subsided, and the wind has subsided. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The wind came and went quickly, and it was not long before it disappeared without a trace, but blew away the clouds in the sky, revealing a sky full of stars.

But it was this rush of wind that completely turned the situation on the battlefield upside down! The Qi army, which had hundreds of thousands of victories in hand, was defeated in an instant and fled in a hurry; And the Qin army, which was about to be wiped out, miraculously won the victory, and launched a victorious pursuit, vowing to wipe out the 300,000 Qi army!

According to the situation on the battlefield, it should be easy for the Qin army to achieve this wish, but Zhao Wuji is not dead yet......

When Yum woke up from the bump, he heard the sound of chaos around him.

Zhao Wuyi didn't open his eyes, and said hoarsely: "Stop!" But the voice quickly disappeared into the noise, and was not heard by the tiger guards beside him.

"Stop!" Zhao Wuyi raised his voice and shouted with all his might.

"Grandpa woke up,......" the people around finally heard. The cart stopped abruptly, and everyone gathered around in surprise and inexplicably, greeting each other with gossip, as if they had suddenly found their backbone.

Zhao Wuyi frowned impatiently, ignoring the noise of the people around him, and hissed to himself: "Help me up." ”

A close Samsa hurriedly stepped forward, helped the old man up carefully, and said softly: "Dashuai, your body ......"

After sitting up straight, Zhao Wuji finally opened his eyes, and unexpectedly, his eyes were as bright as black paint, and his eyes were sharp, and he was even more energetic than earlier today.

The world is really elusive, the day before yesterday, Lao Zhao was shocked by Qin Yutian's mine array and had a nosebleed, which was a manifestation of internal organ injury and bleeding. The injury was very light at the beginning, and a guy like Lao Zhao, who wants to save face, will definitely not look at the doctor. But the congestion will not dissipate automatically, and it will transfer to the brain at some point, turning Lao Zhao into a vegetative state.

The so-called 'blessings and misfortunes are lurking, and misfortunes and blessings are relied on', this is the truth, after experiencing the first defeat in this life, the shame and shame made Yum Gong feel agitated, and he actually spit out the bruise, his body was naturally much lighter, and his mind was clear.

Glancing at the dark and dreary field, there was nothing to see except the dotted torches, so Zhao Wuji had no choice but to ask, "Where is this?" ”

"Back to Dashuai, we're in the area of Wild Boar Ridge." The generals around him hurriedly replied.

"Is the Qin army chasing after you?" Zhao Wuji asked expressionlessly.

The generals were silent, and no one could answer the question...... The so-called 'charge in the rear, retreat in the front', these heads and brains run at the front of the team, so naturally they can't know the situation behind.

"How many people are up front?" Zhao Wuyi asked the law differently.

"Ten thousand...... Or twenty thousand. The generals were uncertain.

"Ridiculous!" Zhao Wuyi slapped the wheels of the car fiercely, regardless of his sick body, he had to stand up.

The generals on the side dissuaded one after another, but they were frightened by his murderous gaze and did not dare to move. Someone came up to help him, but he was pushed away fiercely.

Ignoring these villains who were greedy for life and afraid of death, Zhao Wuyi walked towards the dirt slope next to the road with one foot and one foot shallow. After a while, he was panting and sweating profusely, but he still used his sword to crutch the ground, and walked upward with difficulty.

After looking at each other for a moment, the generals hurriedly followed with lanterns and torches, and with their cloak around their necks. But no one dared to approach the prince, so he could only follow behind, in case the old man suddenly fell.

But what is amazing is that instead of falling, Zhao Wuyi walked more and more steadily, and when he stood at the top of the slope, he could already stand steadily.

"Ignition, flag-raising!" After a few rough gasps, Yum Gong shouted: "Let the children know that the old man is still alive, and my battle flag has not fallen yet!" ”

With the order of Baisheng Gong, the left and right sides of the soil slope lit up one after another, illuminating a wild boar ridge.

At the top of the breakthrough was the place where the fire was most dense. There, a long bamboo pole slowly erected with a broken lion battle flag, and under it stood a marshal in golden armor Baisheng Gong, the night wind swept his bloody silver beard, but his body did not move, like an ancient god, people couldn't help but bow down.

As soon as the Qi army, which had fled to the Wild Boar Ridge, saw the battle flag and the old man standing under it, their hearts were chilling, and they miraculously calmed down......

This battle flag, this old man, has been sheltering the originally weak Qi State for 30 years. In the past 30 years, the throne has been passed on for three generations, and the prime minister has been replaced for four terms, but the only thing that has not changed is this banner waving in the wind, this old man who has won all battles...... He has already incarnated as the guardian saint in the hearts of Qi people, and his status even surpasses that of the Emperor of Qi!

Everyone, including the Emperor of Qi, also thinks so, as long as there is this flag and Zhao Wuyi is there, Qi will always be the strongest in the world! If there is no such flag, there is no Zhao Wuyi...... No one dares to imagine this.

Therefore, when that battle flag falls, it will deal a fatal blow to the morale of the Qi army; Therefore, when the battle flag was erected again, the panicked hearts of the officers and men were immediately greatly soothed......

Looking at the more and more officers and soldiers gathered in front of him, Zhao Wuyi commanded in a deep voice: "Let all the tiger guards light torches!" "A thousand tiger guards soon raised a thousand torches along the sides of the ridge.

"Let the children stand behind the torches!" Zhao Wuji ordered with an expressionless face, and after speaking, he looked into the distance and fell into a long silence.

The soldiers who escaped were led behind the torches, and the number of them gathered more and more. Perhaps it was because of the crowd or the mountain-like figure at the top of the slope that the fear of the officers and soldiers who had been defeated gradually disappeared, and their minds gradually became sober.

It took a while for the pursuers to arrive.

The cavalry of the Qin State reined in the reins of their horses one after another, looking at the torches and flags in front of them in disbelief, and some people quickly informed the generals behind the team.

Qin Li, accompanied by Huangfu Zhanwen and Li Long, urged the horse to rush to the front.

With the bright light of the fire, several people could clearly see the lion banner and the old man in golden armor under the banner.

Several people exchanged glances, and they all saw helplessness in each other's eyes...... They really hoped to take advantage of this God-given opportunity to wipe out the main force of the Qi army, so they led the army to chase and kill in the starry night, regardless of fatigue and pain. But several of them are generals who have led troops for many years, so they naturally know that their subordinates have reached their limit.

If it's an easy and enjoyable chase like 'beating the water dogs', of course, everything will not be a problem. But he really doesn't have the ability to fight another hard battle.

Glancing at the soldiers who were lying on horseback gasping, Qin Li said in a deep voice, "What do you two think? "Although you are Your Highness, he still maintains the necessary respect for the representatives of the other two armies.

"Don't chase after the poor......" Huangfu Zhanwen sighed lightly.

Li Long pouted and said, "The dog jumped off the wall when he was in a hurry." ”

Seeing that the two of them expressed their attitude simply, Qin Li nodded and said, "Baisheng Gong is going to fight for his life, it seems that he can only go here today." "This black light is blind, and my side is exhausted, and if it is a strong attack, the outcome of the battle is not yet known.

"Being able to force Yum Gong to this is enough to make the last general boast for a lifetime." Li Long smiled and said: "Yesterday, we were still a group of defeated generals who couldn't live in fear, and life is really embarrassing......

Huangfu Zhanwen also bowed his head and said: "You can't wear Lu Min at the end of the strong crossbow......"

Now that they are unanimous, the three of them are to gather their ranks and prepare to retreat.

But he heard a deep voice on the other side and said, "The old man is Zhao Wuyi, please ask His Royal Highness Prince Daqin Cheng to come out and speak." ”

The three of them looked at each other, and it was Huangfu Zhanwen who responded loudly: "Chasing after the dog that has lost its family is like killing a chicken with a knife?" My lord has rested early. The sour tone caused Qin Jun to laugh for a while.

The Qi army was just about to make an angry noise, but as soon as he saw Baisheng Gong raise his hand, more than 100,000 people quieted down again. "Yes, you won this battle...... only to hear Zhao Wuyi say unhurriedly: "Old man, I want to congratulate you!" ”

"Then we want to thank you... Hundred... Victory... Public... Oh no. "Huangfu Zhanwen bites the three words 'Baisheng Gong' very hard, obviously deliberately humiliating Zhao Wuyi.

Zhao Wuyi smiled disapprerovingly: "How can there be a general in the world who is always victorious and undefeated? Even if I am a hundred victories, I can only say that I have won a hundred battles, but I will also make a mistake in the one hundred and first time. As he spoke, he said: "But you don't have to be too proud, this time the old man lost, but not in the hands of Qin Yutian, but in God!" ”

Seeing that he said it lightly, Huangfu Zhanwen was very unhappy, Li Long couldn't help but mock: "Grandpa's face is so thick, and he is so justified when he loses!" ”

"You're right, the old man is thick-skinned." Zhao Wuyi laughed and said, "If you want the old man to be convinced, you can defeat me once with your true skills!" Tell your lord that today's hatred, the old man will definitely return it a hundred times, I hope he will be so lucky next time! He waved his hand and said, "Don't send it!" ”

With a few words, Qi Jun's lost confidence was regained...... Yes, this time Qin Guo hit the big luck, this is a lucky victory, if you can hit the big luck next time, then don't fight, let's just wipe our necks.

Once the problem is blamed on God, the hearts of the officers and soldiers are much more relaxed, and some people are clamoring for another battle with the Qin army to see who is the hero and who is the bear!

Zhao Wuyi thinks that those people are farting, he knows his own family affairs, these remnants of the army will be defeated and flee for dozens of miles, lose their armor, be embarrassed, and don't repair the entire ten days and half a month, they don't want to recover their combat strength!

'It would be nice to get out safely, but what more could you ask for?' Zhao Wuyi smiled bitterly in his heart: "A group of finches are blindfolded! ’

Since neither side wants to fight anymore, naturally they can't fight. After a confrontation for a while, they took advantage of the night to withdraw......

Looking back at Makinohara, there was not the slightest joy after the great victory, and the sky over the field, except for the strong smell of blood, was endless sorrow and grief, because behind this unprecedented victory was a suffocating sacrifice......

"Lord Wang, the approximate number of our army killed has come out." Shen Qing said softly that his troops had suffered the heaviest losses, so they did not participate in the pursuit, but stayed to command the people to clean up the battlefield, bury the corpses, and treat the wounded.

Qin Lei leaned on the cowhide drum and sat quietly on the cart, as if he was asleep, not moving. But his eyes were fixed on the corpse-strewn battlefield, clearly awake.

Shen Qing stopped his mouth and stood quietly beside the prince.

As soon as he calmed down, he could clearly hear the wounded moaning in pain, the soldiers whispering comfort, and the people crying for the dead soldiers......

Shen Qing felt the heaviness in the prince's heart at this time, but he couldn't keep silent, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "The prince broke the myth of Baisheng Gong, and he should be happy today." ”

"Poor and uncertain riverside bones, like people in a spring boudoir dream......" After a long time, Qin Lei finally said slowly: "How many families are broken tonight, how many loyal souls are buried in other places, why are you happy?" ”

Shen Qing was speechless.

With a deep sigh, Qin Lei glanced at the lonely moon hanging in the sky, and then turned his head to look at Shen Qing and said, "It's the lonely king who is hypocritical, let's discuss the right thing." ”

"Yes." Shen Qing said softly.

"What did you just report?" Qin Lei asked out loud while rubbing his temples.

"Approximate number of killed."

"I want to be accurate." Qin Lei said in a deep voice.

"Because all the cavalry units were dispatched, they could only be estimated by collecting the remains, so it was impossible to come up with accurate data." Shen Qing whispered.

Qin Lei nodded silently, but stopped talking.

Shen Qing had no choice but to continue: "There are a total of 19,000 corpses of my Great Qin, among which our Jingshan Army has suffered the heaviest losses, more than 6,000; Then there are 5,500 Tiance troops, 5,000 Longxiang troops, and the rest are people. ”

Qin Lei closed his eyes for a long time before he asked faintly, "What about the seriously injured?" "As long as it is not a fatal injury, soldiers generally do not die on the spot, but the medical conditions in this era are so poor that most people can't survive long and die one after another...... Even if the mission is not dead, it will also be left with a lifelong disability and ruthlessly abandoned by the army.

Therefore, at this time, there is a special knife repair team, which follows the officers to patrol the battlefield, check those wounded one by one, as long as they are sure that they can no longer stand up, regardless of whether they are enemies or enemies, they will give a painful blow.

Qin Lei spent a huge amount of money and energy to develop battlefield ambulance, but because the surgery of this era was too backward, many difficulties could not be overcome, and it could only reduce the mortality rate, but could not avoid disability.

But he still stubbornly prevented the Mending Knife team from playing.

"Almost all of them are wounded," Shen Qing said with a sad face: "There are more than 20,000 seriously injured, and our Jingshan Army has the most, with 5,000 people; There are 4,000 Tiance troops, about 3,000 Longxiang troops, and the rest are people. ”

Foaming at the mouth, he mosquitoed again: "Half of them can't stand up anymore, do you see if it's ......?"

Qin Lei raised his head suddenly, staring at Shen Qing fiercely with his eyes, and stunned General Shen, who commanded thousands of troops, only to hear a few words burst out from between his teeth: "You... Want... Dry... What the? ”

Shen Qing hurriedly knelt down on his knees, buried his head on the ground, and didn't dare to say a word.

Qin Lei didn't give up, stretched out his hand to drag his henchman up, looked at him with straight eyes, gritted his teeth and said: "You remember for me, and let everyone know that any wounded, whether he is missing an arm or a leg, must be treated with all his might, if anyone dares to be perfunctory, even ...... Even if he thought about mending the knife, the Lone King made him up first!! In the end, he roared irrepressibly, causing the people around him to look sideways again and again, not knowing how Lord Shen could touch the prince's scales.

Shen Qing's face was pale, and the beads of sweat came down, although he didn't dare to refute, but the tightly pursed corners of his mouth revealed the stubbornness in his heart.

"What, dissatisfied?" Qin Lei said viciously.

"No, the subordinates just feel ......" Shen Qing simply let go, and said in a low and clear voice: "The prince shouldn't be emotional!" ”

"What's wrong with Lonely?"

"You want your subordinates to give priority to precious pharmaceutical resources for serious injuries, and you want us to do our best to treat those who can't stand up anymore or even live, it's ......" Although he had a stomach, he still couldn't resist the cannibalistic gaze of the prince, his voice became lower and lower, and he didn't say the word 'emotional' in the end.

But Qin Lei understood what he meant, and snorted coldly: "Fart!" If you change places, if you are lying there, you will also ask the lonely king so justifiably, don't you want to be treated? ”

"Yes!" Who knew that Shen Qing nodded without hesitation and said, "If I can't stand up and fight for the prince anymore, I will ask for a supplementary sword!" ”

Qin Lei looked at him in disbelief, but saw that Shen Qing's eyes were clear, obviously not a fake.

As if he knew him for the first time, Qin Lei let go of his hand and slowly shook his head: "How can you be so cold-blooded? Those people are our brothers who are entrusted with life and death, and it is our duty to take care of them! ”

Shen Qing was silent, but soon raised his head again, and asked with red eyes: "May I ask the prince, have your ambitions changed?" ”

"How did you get to ambition?" Qin Lei continued to shake his head and said, "I can never turn back, you don't have to worry about this." ”

"The ancients had a saying that 'one general succeeds and ten thousand bones wither', and if a general wants to succeed, he still needs 10,000 sacrifices, and to achieve the dream of ending the troubled times and unifying the three kingdoms, how many troops should be needed and how many people should be sacrificed?"

Qin Lei was speechless for a while, he somewhat understood what Shen Qing was going to say.

But Shen Qing didn't know that he had such a high level of understanding, and he was still chattering: "If you don't talk about it, you have to have a million each, right?" ”

"My subordinates, may I ask the prince, with the national strength of my Great Qin, can I still raise these two million while fighting for years in a row?"

Qin Lei was speechless.

"Actually, I want to tell you this early in the morning, but in the past, our Jingshan Army fought **, and the casualties were minimal, so I am afraid that you will think that you are making a big fuss and do not take it seriously." Shen Qing's mother-in-law came up energetically, and she couldn't stop talking: "Say it with the courage to say it, Lord Wang, your heart is too kind, and those who have achieved great things throughout the ages are all ...... with a heart like iron and stone, and strong means."

Qin Lei was said to be very depressed and said: "Aren't those people all like soldiers? I remember that the book said that Taizu had sucked pus for injuries and illnesses......"

"Mr. Le said that those who achieve great things should be the outer saint and the inner king, whether they love soldiers like sons, whether they don't abandon or give up, such a benevolent and righteous saint's behavior is just a façade, but you must not take it seriously." Shen Qing saw that the prince's face was uncertain, and secretly said, 'There is a door', so he made persistent efforts and said: "The prince can not give an order, it should be the personal behavior of his subordinates, and everything has nothing to do with you." ”

"Don't treat others as fools, let alone treat historians as stupid!" Qin Lei rubbed his head vigorously and said, "My mind is a little messy, you go to the side and stand for a quarter of an hour first, and then come over when I think clearly." ”
