Whether it was the Turks or the Dahua soldiers, everyone was stunned. It is simply an incredible thing to be able to kill Labry, who is famous on the grassland, in one round, and this is still a big Chinese who is known for his weakness.

Hu Bugui and Gao Chieftain were the first to come to their senses, and their eyes were red and they shouted: "The enemy chief Labri is dead!" Brothers, come with me, and don't spare a single Turk! ”

"Rush—" The boiling blood burned in the chests of the warriors, and the killing of Labry made them extremely excited, and the tragic death of their siblings made them mad. Under the double stimulation of excitement and severe pain, their eyes were cracked, and there was only one thought in their hearts - to kill the Turks! The boundless combat power suddenly broke out, and this group of Dahua warriors dressed in Hufu rushed into the enemy group like fierce lions and wolves, roaring and slashing, and even the Turks were terrified of their ruthlessness.

Although Labry died, almost all the heavy soldiers of the Hu people were guarding the city wall, and there were still as many as three or four thousand remaining. The half-height tower of the grassland city has become an important place for the two sides to fight.

The thousands of men and horses behind the high chief of Hu Bugui fought all the way along the leading wall of the city tower, as if they had rushed into a hornet's nest, and their eyes were full of black and oppressive Turks. Every time I took a step forward, there was a river of flesh and blood, countless Turks fell, and there were also Dahua soldiers who slept here. When the battle came to this point, life and death had already been left to the sky, Hu Bugui and Gao Chieftain roared and rushed forward, covered with blood, and the war knives were all cut to the edge. Looking at the front again, Lin Wanrong rushed to the front like a lone wolf, with a knife in his hand, and countless Turks were separated. His tiger power that slashed Labri with a single sword left a deep shadow in the hearts of the Turks. No one dares to plunder its edge, and there is almost no one under his command. The sword was already all over the gap, but he was as unaware as an iron man. The bloodstained face was incomparably hideous.

"Boom". In the midst of the monstrous noise, thousands of troops and horses rushed in, and more than 6,000 Dahua soldiers who were lying in ambush outside the city rushed in, crossed the gate of the grassland that Li Wuling had pushed open with their lives and blood, and merged into a fierce torrent, rushing straight towards the stubborn Turks at the head of the city.

The arrival of reinforcements was like a shot in the arm, which shocked all the soldiers, but the stubborn Hu people were terrified.

"Those who offend me are far more than punishable! Kill all these Turks—" looked at the young cheeks of thousands of children. Hu Bugui was in tears, roaring with fire, and a war knife that rolled his heart. Drawing a snow-white light, his huge body was like a big bird soaring, leading his soldiers to step into the enemy group, and with a wave of his sword, he split the tall bearded man in half.

Breaking through Helan Mountain, 8,000 divine soldiers descended from the sky. All of them looked tragic and fearless of death, and when they gathered together, they became a talisman for the five thousand Hu people in Bayanhot.

There is no crossbow to accompany him, no artillery to help. Since the gates of Bayanhot were wide open and the soldiers stepped into the city, this evolved into a naked hand-to-hand combat. The last level of the surprise attack is to fight for your life, which is an unavoidable fate. In the deep night, 8,000 Dahuaerlang and 5,000 Turkic cavalry staged a tragic hand-to-hand battle on this vast grassland.

Lin Wanrong didn't know how long she had been fighting. His thoughts had already stopped, and the blood on his body stained the broken robes red, turning him into an out-and-out bloody man. The curved sword pierced the chest of the Turkic in front of him, and his hands weighed more than a thousand pounds, and his whole body was numb.

"General, General—" Two anxious shouts seemed to come from the sky, and he slowly came back to his senses, only to see two bloody men standing beside him, their faces covered with blood, and only showed extremely anxious eyes. His arm was desperately pulled by the two of them, and one of them said with tears rolling down his face: "General, don't kill again." This Hu man is dead! He's dead! ”

"Dead?!" Lin Wanrong's eyes were dazed, and when he looked down, he saw that the Hu man lying on the ground was covered with knife marks, a curved war knife passed through his chest, and sank deep into the ground, the corpse of the Hu man was unrecognizable, blood was sprinkled all over the ground, and those who were already dead could no longer die.

"Brother Lin, what's wrong with you?" Seeing his dazed expression, a person on the right hurriedly grabbed his hand, old tears were horizontal, tears mixed with blood, and his expression was extremely terrifying.

"Are you Big Brother Gao?" The voice sounded familiar, but the cheek was covered with blood and could not be recognized, Lin Wanrong asked in a low voice.

The bloody man hurriedly wiped the tears and blood from his face, grinning widely, but it was more ugly than crying: "It's me!" Brother Lin, it's me, Lao Gao! God forbid, you've finally woken up! ”

Lin Wanrong glanced at the bloody man on the left again: "Are you Brother Hu?" ”

Hu Bugui wiped the tears and blood stains from the corners of his eyes, and nodded hurriedly: "It's me, it's me, general, you're finally sober." The war is over, Bayanhot is ours, it's ours! ”

The excitement on the faces of Hu Bugui and Gao Chief is difficult to hide, although the price of blood has been paid, although this Bayanhot is not even as simple as a county office, but after all, this is the first city that the weak Dahua has harvested abroad for hundreds of years, and it is still the city of the Turks, Dahua's sworn enemies, what a major victory, for Dahua, which has been weak for many years, its great significance is difficult to describe in words.

"Really?!" There was no unexpected ecstasy, Lin Wanrong only let out a faint oh sound, and her eyes were ethereal like clouds in the sky.

"Yes." Hu Bugui nodded hurriedly: "In this battle, we annihilated a total of 4,802 Turkic cavalry and captured 198 people. More than 30,000 horses were captured, and countless grains and grasses were captured. The general made a preliminary estimate that so much grain and grass was enough for more than 300,000 people and horses for more than ten days. As long as the Helan Mountain Pass is not broken for ten days, the Hu people will be hungry and fight our army. Look, General—"

Following the direction pointed by Hu Bugui's finger, among the blazing torches, countless stacks of grain and grass stood tall, and thousands of soldiers held clusters of firewood in their hands, spreading them between the stacks of grain and straw. If you drop a torch, countless grains and grass will be burned.

Lin Wanrong nodded silently: "What about the casualties of the brothers?" ”

Hu Bugui bowed his head gloomily and whispered: "Our army has lost 1,377 people and 326 wounded, and the battle damage is 20%!" ”

Lin Wanrong's cheeks twitched, her fists clenched fiercely, and tears flashed in her eyes: "What about their bodies just now?!" ”

"It's all settled," Hu Bugui's old tears cut through the blood on his face, and he choked up: "I'm waiting for the general to send them on their last journey!" ”

Tears silently crossed his face, and the scene of hundreds of soldiers piercing their hearts with thousands of arrows and weeping blood to open the city appeared in front of them. "Ahh In the chaotic noise, sparks flew everywhere, and the thick stone wall collapsed one by one, and the momentum was so loud that the grassland trembled.

Clang, the long knife fell, Lin Wanrong's face turned pale, and the tiger's mouth holding the knife was cracked with blood. Hu Bugui and Gao Chief didn't say a word, and stood quietly behind him, tears blurring their eyes.

The silence was suffocating. I don't know how long it took, seeing Lin Wanrong's figure silent like a stone sculpture, Hu Bugui gently persuaded: "As a soldier, dying on the battlefield is the most glorious way back, for this, please don't blame yourself too much." ”

"But Xiao Lizi, he's only thirteen years old, thirteen years old!" Lin Wanrong choked and muttered to herself, her fists were about to clench blood.

Li Wuling was the youngest of the soldiers who went out to conquer outside the Saiwai, and he was personally brought by Lin Wanrong, and he was the only grandson of General Li Tai. Although taking Bayanhot can be greatly exciting, but the loss of Li Wuling will be a huge blow to Li Tai and the psychology of Dahua soldiers. Between this joy and sorrow, no one can weigh more! Li Wuling was killed in battle. Bayanhot's big victory was suddenly much inferior, even if it was victorious, it was also defeated.

The night breeze on the prairie was blowing on his cheeks, and it was bitterly cold. Straight to the heart. The bodies of thousands of soldiers were set up in a long row on makeshift wooden frames, and night crows flew from nowhere, hovering above their heads, croaking and screaming, with a desolate and cold voice.

The remaining 5,000 soldiers stood silently, tears swirling in their eyes, dripping down silently, falling in the lonely soil of the grassland in early spring.

Lin Wanrong took Chief Gao and Hu Bugui. Walking silently along this long array of heroic spirits, carefully examining each young cheek that was gradually cold and pale. The deep silence is like the early spring wind, permeating everyone's heart.

The most tragic of the statues was the more than 100 warriors who pushed open the city gate with their bodies, and countless long arrows pierced their bodies, and many people's bodies were taken down. and all of them were hung on the gates of the city with arrows in their foreheads. In order to protect their remains, the arrows that were difficult to pull out were carefully cut off by the soldiers. The arrowhead remains in the body. These hundreds of soldiers were all angry until they died, and not one of them closed their eyes.

Facing these brothers who used to get along day and night, and now they are forever apart, Lin Wanrong choked up, and with trembling hands, stroked their cold and stiff cheeks, one by one, slowly, and gently closed their eyes.

A slightly shorter figure appeared in front of him, and the childishness on his face had not yet been taken off. There was a sweet smile on the corner of his mouth, and he was serene, as if he had fallen asleep. Among the thousands of soldiers who died in battle, he was the youngest and the youngest, but the angry cry of "my body can die, my heart will never die" remained in everyone's hearts forever.

"It's Xiao Lizi-" Hu Bugui and Gao Chieftain snorted softly at the same time, and their eyes instantly moistened.

Looking at Li Wuling's immature face, Lin Wanrong's shoulders trembled slightly, and at an angle that no one could see, tears poured down, and he grinned silently, helpless like a child.

Li Wuling was hit by eight arrows in his body, one in each leg and arm, one in his right rib, one in his left chest, and one in each shoulder. Perhaps because he was the smallest and was unconsciously blocked behind by other soldiers, he was not hit by an arrow in his forehead, and the most lethal was the arrow crossbow in his left chest. His eyes were slightly open, but there was a sweet smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he had fallen asleep.

Lin Wanrong choked, slowly stretched out her hands, and closed her eyes for him tremblingly: "Just plum, it's Brother Lin who didn't protect you!" Brother Lin can't stand you! ”

He gently closed Li Wuling's eyes and muttered to himself, tears rolling down. When I raised my eyes again, I saw an incredible scene - I don't know when, Xiao Lizi's eyes opened again.

"Little Lizi-" Lin Wanrong exclaimed, she couldn't wipe her tears, and hurriedly put her finger on Li Wuling's nose to probe his breath.

Without a trace of breath, his cheeks were already cold, and then he looked at his eyes, half-closed and half-closed, without half of brilliance, and his breath had long been gone.

Is it a delusion? Is Xiao Lizi blaming me?! Lin Wanrong felt even sadder in her heart, sighed silently, and slowly closed his eyelids. When the hand was raised, a surprising scene appeared again, and Li Wuling's eyes slowly opened again.

Lao Gao was also surprised, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Little Lizi, good brother, Big Brother Gao knows that you don't blink an eye." Don't worry, I will catch a few more Turkic women, cut them all, and give them to you as daughters-in-law! Rest in peace, brother! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out and closed Li Wuling's eyes. Xiao Lizi was indomitable, and his eyes slowly opened again. What kind of power is this?! Hu Bugui next to him was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.

Lin Wanrong pondered for a long time, and suddenly stretched out her big hand to press Li Wuling's chest. Xiao Lizi's chest was cold, without a trace of heat, no different from other fallen soldiers.

Shaking his head in disappointment, he was about to withdraw his hand, when suddenly, a light beating came into his palm, although it was faint, but it made Lin Wanrong ecstatic, and he howled and burst into tears: "He's still alive!" Little Plum is still alive! ”

"Brother Lin, mourn!" Gao Chieftain thought that he was crazy, and hurriedly grabbed him and shook his head heavily: "I touched it, Xiao Lizi's snort was cold, and he didn't breathe at all, he really went!" ”

"No, Brother Gao, he still has a heartbeat, I've touched it!" Lin Wanrong shook her head hurriedly, took Lao Gao's hand and put it on Li Wuling's chest.

Seeing that Brother Lin looked extremely sober, not like a symptom of madness, Chief Gao was suspicious, and touched his palm on Li Wuling's chest. Lin Wanrong's words suddenly aroused everyone's hope, and countless anxious eyes gathered on Lao Gao, waiting for his words.

Chief Gao held his breath, caressed Li Wuling's chest, and waited silently for a long time, but he never noticed any beating, and finally put down his hand and shook his head silently! Hu Bugui's expression suddenly darkened, and tears floated.

"Impossible!" Seeing everyone's desperate eyes, Lin Wanrong shook his head and said, "I've touched it." Xiao Lizi is still alive, and he must be alive. ”

"Li Wuling's death is too great a blow to the general." Hu Bugui lowered his head and sighed silently.

Regardless of what others thought, Lin Wanrong stretched out his palm and stroked Li Wuling's chest again, a cold feeling came, and Xiao Lizi's body lay quietly, and there was no trace of abnormal movement. After waiting for a long time, the heartbeat that I touched for the first time was never detected again.

Did I really hear it wrong? Lin Wanrong was sad in her heart, and she had the urge to cry. Unwillingly, I waited for a long time, and finally even I was disappointed. Little Plum is dead! He will never come back.

The breath he held finally dissipated, he shook his head weakly, and was just about to take his hand away, when suddenly, a slight beating came from the palm of his hand, the same faint and imperceptible as last time. Lin Wanrong was stunned, at this moment in his heart, there was no more powerful heartbeat in the world!

"Little Plum is still alive!" Lin Wanrong exhaled a long breath, suppressing the ecstasy in his heart, with the experience of the last time, he didn't dare to be careless. The palm of his hand was still on Li Wuling's heart, waiting for his next heartbeat.

His face was sometimes full of sadness, sometimes with great joy, and fell in the eyes of the high chief and Hu Bugui. The two looked at each other, sighed and shook their heads!

Boom, although it has been a long time, the second heartbeat finally came, and it was still so faint that if you didn't pay attention to it, you would be ignored. But in Lin Wanrong's ears, there is no more exciting sound than this, this is the most precious heartbeat in the world. Lin Wanrong held her breath and burst into tears.

"Brother Hu, Brother Gao. Listen to it! Lin Wanrong's voice was calm and trembling, but her eyes were firm.

Hu Bugui and Gao Chieftain slowly put their palms on Li Wuling's chest. Boom. A blow pulsed imperceptibly and gently into the palm of the hand. The two looked at each other in disbelief, ecstatic expressions on their faces.

After waiting quietly for a while, the incomparably faint but firm heartbeat could be heard clearly again and again. Lao Hu's eyes turned red instantly: "Alive, Xiao Lizi is really alive!" ”

Two five-foot-tall men. Screaming and hugging each other tightly, tears seemed to leak the flood peak, and they poured down.

Lin Wanrong raised her arms and shouted. Yang Tianhuo howled: "Li Wuling is still alive!" Brothers, our little plums are still alive! The news spread in an instant, and countless soldiers raised their swords and spears in the air, and they jumped together and howled in the sky, and the scene of five thousand heroes crying together was deeply engraved in the hearts of all people.

It is not disrespectful to cheer in front of fallen comrades. On the contrary, it is the most sincere and simple feeling. Li Wuling represents not one person, he represents countless heroic souls who sleep in the depths of the grassland. What could be more important than a lost comrade-in-arms brother?!

The news that Li Wuling is still alive is like a spring rain in a drought, nourishing everyone's hearts. From Lin Wanrong and Hu Bugui, to all ordinary soldiers, they all rejoiced and swept away the decadence brought about by the casualties of their comrades.

Although they were still facing more than a thousand fallen comrades, the mood of the soldiers was very different from that of Fang Cai, a moment ago they were still tragic, and a moment later, they had seen boundless hope. This feeling of being lost and regained, and surviving in a desperate situation, made their confidence and combat effectiveness unprecedentedly strong.

The body of the fallen soldier was burning in the flames, and Lin Wanrong said silently: "Brother Gao, collect the ashes of the brothers and ask them to go home with us!" ”

Hearing the word "go home", Gao Chief's heart was warm and sad, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, hummed heavily, and strode away.

"General, look!" Hu Bugui returned and shouted excitedly.

Lin Wanrong looked up, and saw that above the main gate of the Prairie City, where Li Wuling and others were killed, there was a bloody and hideous human head hanging high, which was the Labri that Lin Wanrong personally killed.

This way of hanging his head in front of the public is the most naked demonstration, and it is the loudest slap in the face of the Turks!

There is little need to talk about humanity or inhumanity anymore, and war is like that.

Looking at Li Wuling, who was seriously injured on the stretcher and not waking up, and looking at the 30,000 war horses left in the city, Lin Wanrong snorted: "Brother Hu, these Turkic war horses, do you know how to do them?!" ”

Li Wuling's loss and recovery was a great encouragement to everyone, Hu Bugui swept away the previous decline, and said angrily: "The general can rest assured, the last general will be saved, and the Turks will never get a war horse or a grain." You see, isn't that the beginning? ”

Thousands of horses rushed up, arrows, swords, and in a moment, the Turkic war horses trapped in the moon neighed and flowed like a river.

"It's brutal." Lin Wanrong shook his head and sighed: "Brother Hu, think of some humane ways in the future, war horses are also life!" This bloody and frightened Turkic child, that's your sin. ”

Hu Bugui laughed a few times: "It was Lao Gao who said it, he said that it was too troublesome to poison the war horse, and the poison would cost money to buy it, our military expenses could not be wasted so much, or the benefits of knife punishment, not only for the soldiers to practice knife skills, but also for the soldiers to train their courage." ”

Lin Wanrong smiled bitterly and shook his head, Lao Gao, I don't even talk about him.

In two hours, the red sun of the grassland will rise, and the Hu people who rushed to help Bayanhot will also come one after another, and the boundless grassland will change.

"General, it's time to get started!" All the grain and grass have been connected together by firewood, and Hu Bugui handed the burning torch in his hand to Lin Wanrong.

Seeing that Lao Gao and hundreds of brothers were silently collecting the ashes of their fallen brothers, Lin Wanrong pulled the reins of the horse with his left hand, clamped his legs, and the horse galloped out.

While running, Lin Wanrong shouted violently: "Burn, Bayanhot!" As he spoke, he jerked the reins of his horse, and the horse neighed, and the torch in his hand flew out like a powerful javelin, right in the middle of a haystack in his heart.

With a loud "boom", the red flames rose into the sky, and the thick flames spread rapidly, and the countless clusters of grain and grass gathered here by the Hu people immediately burned, and the firelight in the sky reflected the blue sky in the dark night.

"Roar—"

"Roar—"

The light of the fire reflected the blood-soaked clothes and cheeks of the Dahua soldiers, and they shouted in unison, as if to let all the humiliation drift away with the spark.

The fire became more and more intense, burning everywhere in the city, the smoke was billowing out, the thick fog was filled, and the scorching temperature made Lin Wanrong's clothes all soaked, blood, tears, and sweat were all mixed together, and there was an indescribable taste.

Half an hour later, more than half of the grain and grass had been burned, and even if it rained heavily, it was powerless to return to the sky, and the city of the grassland was full of scorched earth and ash stains, and the smoke was filled, and no one could be seen within a few feet.

The surplus horses have all been killed, the remains of the fallen soldiers have been collected neatly, and more than 5,000 soldiers are lined up in front of the city gate and are about to set off.

Looking at the soldiers in tattered clothes and scorched faces in front of him, Lin Wanrong paused and said loudly: "Everyone has seen it." We have done a great thing that no one has ever done in the history of Dahua -- the throat of the Hu people and the grassland city of Bayanhot. It was burning beneath our feet at the moment, and it had completely turned into a scorched earth. From then on, the castle was completely erased from the territory of the Turks. ”

"Roar-roar-" Hu Bugui and Chief Gao took the lead, brandishing their swords high. Shouted in unison with the soldiers.

Lin Wanrong waved his hands down, and the soldiers instantly quieted down: "In the battle of Bayanhot, our whereabouts have been completely exposed to the Hu people, and we went to the grassland to attack the Hu people's castle and use knives in the hearts of the Turks, which they have never encountered, and it is foreseeable that more cruel grassland killing is coming." Please remember that from this moment on, our strategy will change completely. We are about to become rabbits on the prairie. Being able to dodge the falcon's claws and return home alive is our greatest victory! ”

The scene was quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Wanrong. Everyone knows it in their hearts. Although the task is completed, the cruel journey is only halfway, and the next part of the road will be the most dangerous, and no one has ever experienced it. In this vast prairie. They will become prey to the Turks. To return to Helan Mountain alive may only be the most beautiful dream. However, after experiencing so many bloody battles and getting used to seeing life and death. Who would be scared?

The eyes of more than 5,000 people who looked at death as if they were at home made Lin Wanrong choke silently, he waved his hand, and the first war horse jumped out of the city gate, the second and third......

The 5,000 soldiers withdrew silently from Bayanhot, the crisp sound of horses' hooves mixed with the blazing flames, like a loud pastoral song on the grassland.

Lin Wanrong took Hu Bugui and Gao Sheikh at the end, stepped out of the city gate, and the three of them couldn't help but turn their heads to star. sound

The city of the steppe in the middle of the fire is filled with gunsmoke. In addition to the sound of wind and fire, I can no longer hear the sound of people and horses, and the situation is not the same as when I came.

Lin Wanrong thought for a while, suddenly lifted the reins of the prancing horse, and hurriedly ran back.

"General Lin, what is this going to do?" Hu Bugui is incomprehensible.

Gao Chief thought for a moment and shook his head weakly: "I don't know either." However, Brother Lin's actions have always been unfathomable, and with the wisdom of you and me, it is impossible to guess. As for tonight, would you have believed that he could have stabbed Labry?! ”

Thinking of General Lin's thunderous knife, Hu Bugui secretly palpitated, and hurriedly shook his head and sighed: Gao Shen, really Gao Shen!

Walking to the edge of the city gate, Lin Wanrong jumped off his horse and found a burning stick on the side of the road. The blood of the slaughtered Turkic horses was everywhere, and he stirred it with a wooden stick a few times, and then brushed it and wrote on the city walls. These words are dancing with dragons and phoenixes, drenched in blood, and the momentum is very majestic. When he finished writing, he threw away the bloody stick, glanced left and right, and suddenly burst out laughing.

Chief Gao has the best eye, and he saw that the words were crooked, but they were huge, and he could see clearly at a glance: "Dahua Lin San, come here!" There is a kind of you build again, and I will swim again next year! ”

As soon as he finished reading, Hu Bugui laughed out loud: "Okay! Good one I'll visit again next year! This momentum, this article, that is General Lin's style! ”

"Good poetry, good poetry." Seeing Lin Wanrong turn around and come to his side, the high chief gave a thumbs up: "The battle is neat and the discipline is rigorous, which is really a peerless treasure and a blessing for gifts." Now Hu Da is very famous, just this poem, I am afraid that it will be sold for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in a few hundred years. ”

Hu Bugui said: "That's that, General Lin's words are hard to find in our Dahua." But I don't know how the general could have such a Yaxing and do this masterpiece on the Huren Wall?! ”

Lin Wanrong laughed: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, it's just graffiti and travel habits." I'm afraid that the Hu people won't understand our Dahua characters and waste my words. ”

Several people laughed at the same time, and their voices pierced the grassland sky......

Looking at Li Wuling, who was lying on the stretcher, pale and still not woken up, Lin Wanrong grabbed his hand and smiled: "Brother, let's go home!" ”
