Chapter 100: Lin Hai Waiting for Help (Third Update)
No matter what others say about Liu Tai, Liu Tai has never paid attention to it, except for those who make trouble under his rule, for Liu Tai, reputation is not very important, Liu Tai believes in his own strength, believes in his own good to the people, and believes that he has been leading the people under his rule to embark on a brilliant road.
Since Yan Liang's scout troops went deep into the grassland to investigate, they were convinced of Zhang Fei's feat of directly taking the Xiongnu royal court Meiji, and Zhang Fei's 1,000-strong team in this battle almost crippled the Hun royal tribes' sneak attack, and nearly half of the hundreds of thousands of people and princes and nobles of the royal court were killed in the monstrous fire.
According to the hearsay of Yan Liang's scout troops, the Xiongnu lost more than 100,000 cattle and sheep, more than 30,000 horses, and more than 80,000 people in this battle.
Great victory, martial arts, for the loss of seven or eight hundred Han cavalry, although Liu Tai is still very heartbroken, but also knows that on the battlefield, feelings are just child's play, only the victory is the most important, of course, for this group of fallen warriors, Liu Tai increased the original pension tenfold, and even ordered the names of these thousand people to be engraved into the Huacheng Hero Pavilion and the Heroic Soul Pavilion.
The Hero Pavilion of Hwaseong is the highest first-class Hero Pavilion in Erzhou, not the same as the local Hall of Heroes, most of the heroes who are still alive in Erzhou are put into it, and the original Hall of Heroes in Erzhou was renamed Heroic Soul Pavilion, Heroic Soul Pavilion is a heroic hero who has made outstanding contributions in various wars or places, and is buried after death.
Of course, in addition to the Heroic Soul Pavilion and the Hero Pavilion, Liu Tai is also preparing to establish the Lingyan Pavilion to commemorate the generals who died in the Great War or other reasons, but the problem is that most of the Wenchen generals under Liu Tai's command are all in their prime, and there is no need to build them for the time being, so the matter has been put aside.
Today's situation is very mysterious, even if Liu Tai retreats, the Xiongnu will also cause a royal power war due to the decline of the royal family, of course, Liu Tai is not sure, but the situation at this time is very favorable to Liu Tai, the Huns began to intrigue, and it is inevitable that the work will not work, such a good time, Liu Tai will naturally not let go.
After getting the accurate news, Liu Tai immediately personally led 160,000 troops, and went north to take the Xiongnu and Wang Ting Meiji, who had become ruins. Huang Zhong was the left route army, leading 30,000 troops to take the Xiongnu tribes close to the Beidi County of Liangzhou. Yan Liang was the right route army, leading 30,000 troops to directly take the Xiongnu tribes in the Yanmen area.
Liu Tai's army is the strongest, because the order to retreat from the Qiangqu was conveyed in a hurry, many tribes have not had time to retreat to the north by Liu Tai dumplings, 160,000 troops can be said to meet the gods to kill the gods, to meet the Buddha to kill the Buddha, there is no enemy at all, even if all the young men in some large tribes add up to a few thousand soldiers and horses, still can not withstand the impact of Liu Tai's army, less than five days, the Xiongnu tribes three hundred miles south of Meiji were all wiped out.
Qiangqu, who was leading the troops to pursue Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's troops, was even more frightened when Liu Tai personally led an army of 160,000 troops, and he did not dare to fight with Liu Tai at all, so he directly led more than 90,000 Hun cavalry to the north with the Xiongnu tribesmen around the royal court, preparing to gather all the Xiongnu soldiers and horses and then fight with Liu Tai.
===========================
More than 100 miles outside the city of Meiji, there is no nameless forest sea.
Since Zhang Fei retreated into the forest sea, it has been three days, in three days, the original team of more than 300 people, there are less than 200 people left, and due to the shortage of medicine, almost everyone is injured, most of the horses have been ordered by Zhang Fei to be killed, in order to replenish the army food, now Zhang Fei, can only rely on a dangerous place in the forest to wait for help, there is no ability to impact outward.
"General, this is freshly dug water, you can drink a bowl." Chen Laosan's face was covered with wind and frost, his lips were dry and dull, his face was dark, and there were bandages in many places on his body, and he limped over, and Zhang Fei, who was hiding behind the boulder, said.
Zhang Fei also looked very bad, his face was still underage, there were beards and scum everywhere, and although there were no bandages on his body, all of them were dry or fresh blood, of course, all of them could not be Zhang Fei's.
"It's okay, you'd better drink these." Zhang Fei shook his head, looking exhausted, Zhang Fei had not closed his eyes for three days and three nights, the besieging Hun army attacked the mountain almost day and night, if it were not for the dangerous terrain here, the Hun army suffered heavy losses, Zhang Fei did not even have a chance to rest.
"General, drink it, it doesn't matter if the third child dies, the general is the pillar of the whole army, don't fall." Chen Laosan looked at Zhang Fei's now slightly mature face, with a hint of looking at death as home, and couldn't help sobbing and said.
In the past three days, Chen Laosan has already not blamed Zhang Fei for bringing a thousand soldiers and horses into a desperate situation, if he can still choose, Chen Laosan will definitely agree to attack Meiji again, this Meiji's great victory has brought countless glory to this thousand people, even if a thousand soldiers and horses are all killed in this nameless hill, the father, the old wife and the young will also receive generous pensions from the northern Xinjiang, and there is no need to worry about the same as Zeng Qian, the pillar is dead, and a family will be finished.
Zhang Fei looked at Chen Laosan's sobbing appearance, the corners of his mouth cracked, and the corners of his eyes were slightly moist and said: "Stinky Laosan, what is immortal, I haven't lived enough, you kid has several babies in his family, and I am still the only seedling in our family." ”
"Ahem" Chen Laosan looked at Zhang Fei's joking appearance, couldn't help coughing, shook his head helplessly and said: "General drink, there is still water, the brothers will dig more." ”
Zhang Fei opened his mouth, looked at Chen Laosan's undeniable look, nodded helplessly, took a stone bowl smashed out with a weapon in Chen Laosan's hand, looked at the yellow water in the stone bowl, swallowed his dry throat, and drank the yellow water in one gulp.
Zhang Fei knew that although this small hill was located in Linhai, since the Huns entered Linhai, all the trees around the small hill were cut down, how could they still get too much water, even if this yellow water was probably the last bit of water, what else could more than 200 people drink? Maybe it's just horse blood and urine.
But the problem is that the density of horse blood is higher than the density of human body fluids, and it can't quench its thirst at all, just like seawater, you can only drink more and more thirsty, and there will be a danger of death at any time, but at this time, Zhang Fei's remnants have reached the point of exhaustion, knowing that they will die, they can't stop drinking.
"Strange, why did the Huns rest for so long and still haven't rushed to the mountain?" After Zhang Fei drank the yellow water, his originally dry voice eased a little, and he glanced at the dense Hun troops under the hills, and couldn't help muttering.
Chen Laosan shook his head, also glanced at the Hun troops, and asked uncertainly: "Could it be that the lord sent troops to the rescue?" ”
"Rescue?" Zhang Fei's eyes lit up and he took a closer look ahead, but unfortunately, he didn't find the slightest adjustment of the Huns, so it shouldn't be the arrival of reinforcements.
