PS: Hu Luzheng's second arrow hit his horse, and before the animal fell, Xianyu Killing Leopard had already jumped out of the saddle and stood firm on the ground. Hu Luzheng had already rushed to his side at this moment, and slashed the head of the scimitar with a round. Rarely kill the leopard and raise the lance to block upwards. With the potential energy of Hu Luzheng and the sharpness of the knife, the lance should be split, but it was Hu Luzheng's scimitar that was broken, and then he realized that the opponent's lance was actually iron. But this lightning blow also surprised Xian Yu Killing Leopard, he took two steps back, and was hugged by a wounded soldier of the Jin army on the ground to hold one leg, he kicked twice, did not break free, but raised the lance and stabbed the soldier. This gave Hu Luzheng a chance, and he caught the knife thrown by his subordinates, pounced directly on Xian Yu Killing Leopard's back, and slit his throat from behind. The latter left his lance, reached for his neck, and struggled a few steps on the spot, falling like a ruined tower. Almost at the same time, someone shoved Hu from behind, pushing him to the ground. He quickly turned around on the ground and saw Mung Bean spurting blood in his mouth and slowly falling down with an arrow stuck in his back.

The last arrow of the last knight of the Great Xia Ranger.

Chen Song stood at the gate of the camp, hugging each brother who returned, while counting the number of people in his heart.

When they went there were 105 cavalrymen and 50 infantrymen, and now they come back 83 cavalrymen and 75 horses, of which 12 were captured; Thirty-eight infantry survived. Six of the 10 carts remained, and the grain was exhausted.

The infantry lost 34 men, killed 117 enemies, and took 9 prisoners.

The dead brothers were brought back. They were frozen and stiff, like stumps of a tree that had been cut down, and lay straight on the wagon.

Mung beans are also among them.

Chen Song didn't ask anything. He ordered the brothers to prepare warm wine and hot rice for the brothers, and boiled 100 pots of hot water.

The living should take a pleasant hot bath. The fallen brothers also had to be scrubbed.

He asked someone to carry Mung Bean to his tent, along with some of Mung Bean's hardcore brothers. Use cold water to slowly melt away the robe that is frozen on your body and peel it off. Mung Bean has a half-cut arrow shaft on his back, and a circle of cloth is wrapped around his belly, and when he unties it, he finds a long horizontal mouth where he can see his intestines. Chen Song knew at a glance that the mung bean was hit by another arrow when he fought again. The arrow killed him instantly, but also freed him from the excruciating pain.

Wash it cleanly, sew the wound in the abdomen, dig out the arrow on the back, and change into a new robe.

Chen Song has seen countless brothers who have died in battle. Many people have miserable expressions, and some have no heads, so naturally they have no expressions.

Mung Bean is okay, the person is embarrassed, the face is safe, lying there, as if asleep.

A sudden death is the kind of death that is not expected, a death that does not frighten the person concerned. It not only mobilizes the paralyzing function of the body to make people less painful, but also produces a hypnotic effect that makes the deceased fall asleep. I can't wake up. The arrow that hit the mung bean brought this kind of serenity.

Mung beans, the number is Lu Zhou. Originally, he was a fisherman in Jingkou, although he was not rich. But also live happily. He was married, about ten days before he got married. Caught by Sun En's rebellion. The mob set fires, his father was burned alive on a fishing boat, his brother was cut into several pieces in a fight, killed three thieves with a harpoon, and escaped by jumping into the water, all the way to his life until he was met by counterinsurgency officers. Later, when I met a fellow villager who escaped, I learned that my fiancée was gang-raped by the rebels and committed suicide by throwing herself into a well. From then to now, his home is the barracks, and Chen Song, Guo Xu, and the crazy people are the closest people.

Mung Bean is not the most fierce in this group of brothers, but it is the best for people. Dry food will not be swallowed alone, the silver will definitely help the poor brothers, the march will definitely help others carry things, the camp will definitely remind everyone to wash their feet well, and when retreating, they must stay at the rear. He is a fisherman, and he has a way of catching fish, and as long as there is water near the station, he will definitely go to get some fish and shrimp kings and the like, and make snacks for the brothers. Almost all the wounded soldiers in the battalion had drunk the fish soup he cooked.

Once the brothers drank together, and when they got drunk, they began to talk about how everyone would die. Chen Song himself said that I must have become a big official, a very popular minister, and I was highly respected, and when I was discussing things in the court, I suddenly fell silent, and then the emperor cried bitterly. Everyone laughed at him for being too lewd. Guo Xu said that I guess I am dying of old age, and my children and grandchildren are crying bitterly. Everyone said this was too banal. The vegetable worm said that I would probably die of exhaustion on a beautiful woman. Everyone laughed and said that this was good, it was a romantic ghost. The madman said that I must be equal to my writings, and that I had thousands of disciples, and after giving the last lesson to the disciples who worshiped me, I sat there and died of tears, and my apprentices who were high-ranking officials were vying to carry the coffin, and the officials and young officials could not take their turn. The brothers said that it was a dead one, and it was estimated that we who were alive would carry the coffin for you. When it was Mung Bean's turn, he smiled and said, I must be covering you rabbit cubs who don't want to die on the battlefield, and in a vicious fight, one is ten, what kind of generosity to die. At that time, everyone laughed and said, "Why would we leave you alone?"

The vegetable worm didn't get the death he wanted, and the green bean did.

He was an arrow for Hu Lu's expedition.

When Chen Song saw Hu Luzheng, he had already washed up and changed into a new robe, and the smile that he had always hung on his face in the past was gone.

"Mung Bean died for me."

Chen Song sat down without saying a word, unscrewed a wine jug, took a sip of himself, and handed it to Hu Luzheng, who took a sip and opened the conversation.

In this guerrilla attack, there were a total of five battles, and in the first three cases, Chen Song had already heard the report from the scouts, and it was smooth sailing, only five or six brothers hung the lottery, and no one was killed. Since the fourth time, Hu Luzheng has not sent scouts back, because they have been interspersed far away, and now they have to pass through the middle of the two Xia army camps, and try to return to the base camp without leaving a trace, if the single scout is captured and confessed, and the Xia army comes out to search and suppress, this small army will be finished.

The fourth battle was also very smooth, to be precise, it was a sneak attack, they found a group of Xia army patrols on the way back, and they couldn't get around, so they took advantage of their fire to cook, and they were all captured in a surprise attack. Just as they were rushing back to the camp with their captives in full swing, they encountered more than 100 Great Xia rangers in a wilderness.

This is no ordinary patrolman, the soldiers wear sheepskin robes, and the officers wear fox skins. The armor is all brand new. The most peculiar thing is the flag, on which a white leopard is painted on the black flag. The leopard was pierced by an arrow. Later, when the prisoners were interrogated, it became known that they belonged to the "Leopard Extermination Battalion".

Chen Song snorted. What a mess of names!

The captives said that their commander was originally Yao Ji, an officer of Yao Qin, who had committed a capital crime after surrendering to Great Xia. Thrown into the animal prison to feed the leopard, but he actually killed the leopard, Helian Bobo renamed him Yao Leopard, promoted him to be the general of the Praetorian Guard, and let him command a battalion, which was named "Leopard Killing Battalion". What he encountered with Hu Luzheng was one of his cadres, called Xian Yu to kill the leopard.

Half of the cavalry that rarely killed the leopard belt were Qiang soldiers of Yao Qin in the past. He hated the Beifu soldiers to the core, and his riding and archery skills were also very good. The cavalry led by Hu Lu is not stronger than them in terms of individual soldiers. But Hu Luzheng also brought ten carts with crossbowmen and lancers. The coordination of the bike and the rider was inspired by Chen Song's "Moon Array", which came in handy at this moment. When the Great Xia cavalry rushed over, it was not the cavalry of Hu Luzheng who met them, but the chariot soldiers commanded by Mung Bean. Ten chariots thrust in with a long snake and cut the enemy rider into two pieces. The soldiers on the cart used crossbows at a distance and a lance when they were close, and fired their bows left and right, shooting with thorns. Like a team of fierce hedgehogs. They themselves had carres and shields to cover, and it was difficult to shoot. Hu Luzheng's cavalry all swarmed up to deal with the cavalry on one side. Defeat the outnumbered. The Great Xia cavalry had already suffered nearly thirty percent of the casualties in the first round of assault on the Jin army's chariots, and the remnants were divided into two pieces. One of them struggled against several times the number of cavalry. The other saw that his companions were annihilated, but he could not save them. Because the Jin army chariot soldiers beat them around.

Rao is like this, Hu Luzheng still understands the power of this "leopard killing battalion". As long as the chariots could not help, when the cavalry of the two sides was purely confrontational, the immediate superiority of the Huns and the Qiang was immediately manifested. There are not many people who can make two moves before Hu Lu recruits horses, but they still have capital to deal with the officers and soldiers of the newly formed army such as the flying cavalry. Rao is two or three Jin soldiers besiege one, and the opponent can still fight back fiercely in the move. All the deaths on this expedition occurred in this encounter. If there are no chariot soldiers, 100 cavalry against 100 cavalry, the defeated must be the Jin army.

The leader of the Xia soldiers, the one who rarely kills leopards, is the big of the big guys, so it's no surprise that he wields an extraordinarily large broad-bladed lance. Before Hu Luzheng fought him, he had already stabbed and slashed, knocking down four Jin cavalrymen. Hu Luzheng aimed at him, and was about to shoot, but Mung Bean had already rushed to the side of Xian Yu Killing Leopard Horse, and the long lance stabbed him in the neck. The latter dodged backwards, drew a sword in his left hand and slashed at it. The sword was obviously very sharp, and it was not satisfied after cutting through Mung Bean's leather armor and jacket, and continued to move forward, slicing his stomach open. Seeing Mung Bean, Hu Luzheng subconsciously threw away the lance, covered his stomach with his hands and fell on the saddle. Xian Yu Leopard raised his sword to cut off Mung Dou's head, but was held by a knight next to him with a long lance. At this moment, Hu Luzheng shot an arrow into his left arm. His iron armor was too hard to shoot in, but the arrow came with a ferocity that shook his sword to the ground. Hu Luzheng hit his horse with a second arrow, and before the animal could fall, Xianyu Kill Leopard had already jumped out of the saddle and stood firm on the ground. Hu Luzheng had already rushed to his side at this moment, and slashed the head of the scimitar with a round. Rarely kill the leopard and raise the lance to block upwards. With the potential energy of Hu Luzheng and the sharpness of the knife, the lance should be split, but it was Hu Luzheng's scimitar that was broken, and then he realized that the opponent's lance was actually iron. But this lightning blow also surprised Xian Yu Killing Leopard, he took two steps back, and was hugged by a wounded soldier of the Jin army on the ground to hold one leg, he kicked twice, did not break free, but raised the lance and stabbed the soldier. This gave Hu Luzheng a chance, and he caught the knife thrown by his subordinates, pounced directly on Xian Yu Killing Leopard's back, and slit his throat from behind. The latter left his lance, reached for his neck, and struggled a few steps on the spot, falling like a ruined tower. Almost at the same time, someone shoved Hu from behind, pushing him to the ground. He quickly turned around on the ground and saw Mung Bean spurting blood in his mouth and slowly falling down with an arrow stuck in his back.

The last arrow of the last knight of the Great Xia Ranger.

Hu Luzheng has been very calm since he came back, and when he talked about mung bean blocking arrows for him, he finally couldn't suppress it, buried his face in his hands, his shoulders shook violently, and he said a sentence for a long time:

"If he hadn't been hit by an arrow, he wouldn't have died from the wound in his stomach."

Tears welled up through her fingers.

"It's not going to die!"

Chen Song stroked his back and said softly:

"This is a brother!"

Hu Luzheng thought of the vegetable insects that died on the Yellow River from mung beans, and remembered that he was the enemy of these real men at that time, which touched his heart. He pulled out a short knife from his waist and made a cut in his face.

Chen Song was shocked. Knock the knife down with a wave of your hand:

"What are you doing here?"

Hu Luzheng said that we Xianbei people mourn our relatives and want to meet each other.

The word "loved one". Let Chen Song's heart twitch, thinking of the vegetable insects being cut by a thousand knives, thinking of mung beans gone, no one will ever catch fish and make soup for the brothers from now on, and then think of Guo Xu and the madman once asked, how to tell them about the death of mung beans, regretting that he should not have sent mung beans out to guerrillas, but if there were no mung beans, it was Hu Luzheng who had turned into a ghost at this moment. I couldn't suppress the pain, and hugged Hu Luzheng and cried.

After the tears dried up, the two of them sat for a while, Hu Luzheng picked up the wine jug, took a sip, and handed it to Chen Song:

"In the words of our Xianbei people, Mung Bean did not die, he went to another place. He's a good man, and God will treat him well over there. ”

Chen Song took a sip of wine. Nodding silently.

Hu Lu's trip was not only to test the combat effectiveness of the Great Xia soldiers, but also to shoulder other missions. And this part is not so hearty to say.

Villages passed along the way. The villagers were no longer as enthusiastic as before, and when they saw the Jin soldiers coming from afar, they all closed their doors. Find the old man in the village and ask. People were silent at first, and finally they were easy to say. Before he spoke, to the effect that Liu Yu and Taiwei Liu left us and went to Jiangnan. People said that he went to be the emperor. He's gone, and you people won't be able to keep Chang'an. Now that Great Xia is coming, their people have already come here to talk about it, saying that if anyone dares to help the Jin army, when the Great Xia army arrives, they will be severely punished. If we are obedient, Xia Jun will definitely not commit any crimes. Sooner or later, Guanzhong will be theirs, we, the grass people, are not who is on the head and listen to whom?

While staying overnight in a small valley, I ran into a dozen or so Han officials who had escaped from the Zhengcheng area, and they were about to go to Chang'an. According to them, in these counties around Chang'an, the hearts of the people have been shaken, and the gentry are plotting to expel the officials and defenders of the Jin Dynasty, and they are raising an incident to welcome the arrival of the Great Xia army, just as they did back then to welcome the Beifu soldiers. It sounds like that on the edge of Guanzhong, a wall of Great Xia has been built, and the Jin army has become a trapped beast.

Looking at it as a whole, Great Xia's combat effectiveness is considerable, but it has not reached the invincible Cheng dù. What is really worrying is that the people's hearts are no longer on the side of the Jin people.

Chen Song sighed.

It's only been a few days, and the feng shui has flowed, and I can't help but think of the grand occasion of thousands of empty alleys in Chang'an City when Liu Yu led the victorious army into the city.

He pondered how to report this operation to Shen Tianzi. As for Shen, there is no need to talk about the issue of people's hearts, lest he have more reasons to stand still. To sue him, it was Hu Lu who killed 34 people in battle and eliminated more than 100 elite cavalry in Great Xia, which is enough to prove that Great Xia is not afraid, and the Beifu soldiers are still strong in combat. Of course, the price of breaking off a team leader cannot be ignored, but the other party also died a fierce military officer.

As he was thinking about how to use the words to achieve the best effect, there was a hurried sound of footsteps outside the door.

Seeing that the person who came was Shen Tianzi's herald, Chen Song's heart tightened, and he didn't know if Shen Tianzi had heard the wind and took the initiative to ask for it.

The herald said that the general invited the lord of Chen and the lord of Hu Lu.

Hu Luzheng hurriedly washed his face and followed Chen Song.

Along the way, Chen Song played the drum in his heart, and always felt that Shen Tianzi would definitely not let him go and send people out without authorization. If he had to call for this, then killing more than 100 enemies was not a credit, and it was a sin to injure more than 30 people, including a team leader.

Unexpectedly, Shen Tianzi didn't care about this at all, and when he saw the two of them coming in, he glanced at the injury on Hu Luzheng's face, but he didn't ask, so he asked:

"Is there any difficulty in the army retreating to Liu Huibao and leaving the two of you to lead the team to break off?"

Chen Song was stunned:

"Retreat to Liu Huibao?"

Shen Tianzi was silent, staring straight at it. His cheeks were sunken for a while, and his eye sockets were the same, and he looked like a white-scraped ghost.

Chen Song said that why should he retreat? Besides, we were given the task of marching into the army.

Glancing around at the owners, he found that they were all angry, but they refused to raise their heads, Xu had been reprimanded by Shen Tianzi just now.

Shen Tianzi took out an expression of "I'll be patient once", saying that the Xia army is strong, and our army is insufficient.

Chen Song said that the Xia army was not so terrible, Hu Lu Zheng went out to try, we broke more than 30 brothers, but killed more than 100 of them, and returned the prisoners. What matters now is not that the enemy is strong, but that the common people are waiting and seeing, and if we blindly retreat, they will fall to the Xia army faster.

Shen Tianzi's eyes widened, and he said that you actually dare to send people out to fight without authorization?

Chen Song said that the last general just wanted to test it.

Shen Tianzi said that you are guilty of unauthorized power, and now you can't care about pursuing it. You go to set up defenses now, and you have to maintain the daily state of the battalion, so that the Xia army thinks that we are still here. After the army arrives at Liuhuibao, you will form a formation and leave the camp and slowly retreat.

Chen Song was desperate in his heart, but he still wanted to make one last effort on his mouth:

"The previous Assassin Shi and Sima's orders, don't you count?"

Shen Tianzi suddenly became hysterical, kicked the case, squeezed out a pair of cross-eyed, and suddenly pulled out his sword and pointed at Chen Song:

"You fucking Hugh is going to use Wang Zhen evil bastard to suppress Lao Tzu! Lao Tzu can fight if he wants, and retreat if he wants to retreat, what can he do to me? If you are verbose and noisy, be careful that Lao Tzu will kill you first! ”

Chen Song's face was flushed, the green tendons on his head jumped up, and his right hand subconsciously touched the sword.

The officials rushed up, some hugged Shen Tianzi and took his sword, and some hugged Chen Song and held his hand. Hu Luzheng pinched his elbow on the side.

Chen Song suddenly realized that his confrontational action had committed a big taboo, and Shen Tianzi could have been involved in military law to kill him, so he broke free from his colleagues and surrendered his hands:

"The last general is rude, please forgive the general. The last general was just worried that a rash withdrawal would leave the general behind. Now that the general has made a decision, Chen Song will go to arrange the matters after the break. ”

Shen Tianzi sat on the Hu bed and waved his hand impatiently, signaling him to step back.

Chen Song took Hu Lu out of the mansion, and suddenly realized that his back was full of sweat, and when the cold wind blew, he shivered. Over the years in the army, his fiery temperament has converged a lot, but in the face of sudden humiliation, he still can't do it without changing his color. Secretly scolded himself: You are a person who aspires to be a general, how can you be so easy to move!

After walking a few steps on horseback, he flew head-on, and the number uniform should be a herald from Liu Yizhen's mansion in Chang'an.

It stands to reason that Chen Song shouldn't ask, but under his anxiety, he couldn't help but ask in a loud voice:

"Is there any emergency military information?"

The herald knew Chen Song, and he didn't bring any top secrets, but as soon as he pulled the reins, the horses neighed and stood upright:

"General Wang Zhenwei is here to supervise the division!" (To be continued......)
