The water flowed quietly, and in the shallow riverbed, occasionally a black bottom or two was exposed.

The afterglow of the setting sun reflects the shallow river, and the sparkling surface of the river glows with orange.

On the banks of the river, an army that had just lost a battle had set up camps, and the officers and soldiers were sitting around the campfire with their heads down and cooking their meals.

The smoke of the cooking stove curled up, the fire of the stove rose, and the clay pots hanging on the bonfire were steaming white, but the officers and soldiers sitting by the bonfire were all full of mourning and dejection.

In the coach's tent, Wang Yi knelt behind the low table with a gloomy expression, frowning tightly, as if thinking about something, and didn't say a word for a long time.

Several Hedong officials sitting on both sides also did not speak, and the expressions on everyone's faces showed a bleakness that could not be concealed. In the manager's tent, there is a depression that can almost suffocate.

"Birds!" Finally, the military attache sitting at the bottom of Wang Yi's right side couldn't stand this dullness, slapped his thigh and stood up, and said in a rough voice: "Isn't it just a lost battle!" The casualties of our army are not counted, and the casualties of King Hongnong's army are also a lot! In this battle, the soldiers did not embarrass the Hedong Army! Don't worry about the county guard, the last general will bring a team of soldiers and horses tonight and sneak up to fuck him! ”

"General Xiahou!" As soon as the military attaché's words were finished, Wang Yi wrinkled his brows and raised his eyes to stare at him, and said coldly: "The soldiers are brave, but they still lose the battle, that is, our command is not effective!" At night, many of our officers and soldiers can't see, how do you lead the army to sneak attack King Hongnong? ”

General Xiahou, who was reprimanded by Wang Yi, was the military attache Xiahou Ying who assisted him in guarding Hedong. This man is burly and very brave, but his personality is a little reckless. On weekdays, except for Wang Yi, others can't hold him!

As a pioneer in this battle, but he was the last to fight, and Xiahou Ying was also full of boredom. It can be seen that Wang Yi has a bad look on his face, and Xiahou Ying didn't dare to make any more noise, so he had to shrink his neck, take a step back, and sit back behind the table.

Huang Boxi, who was sitting opposite Xiahou Ying, rolled his eyes, stood up and clasped his fists and said to Wang Yi: "Qiyu County Guard, this time all the soldiers of our army fought to the death, but they were defeated, and the archers suffered heavy losses, almost all of them were wiped out, which shows that the soldiers and horses under the command of King Hongnong are really strong. But that's not a bad thing......"

"What do you mean by that?" Listening to Huang Boxi's words, Wang Yi frowned and asked him.

"After losing the first battle, our army will retreat to the north of the river bank again, and King Hongnong will definitely have no doubts!" The corners of Huang Boxi's mouth twitched slightly, his eyes narrowed, a cold chill flashed in his eyes, and he said to Wang Yi: "At that time, as long as the dam is broken, the river will ......."

"Qiyu County Guard!" Before Huang Boxi's words were finished, a voice suddenly came from outside the tent to announce the soldier: "The cavalry under the command of King Hongnong has been found on the other side of the riverbank!" ”

"What!" Hearing that Liu Bianjun's cavalry had been spotted on the other side of the riverbank, Wang Yi suddenly stood up and walked quickly towards the outside of the camp.

Huang Boxi and Xiahou Ying glanced at each other, knowing that something was wrong, and they also followed behind with a frightened face and walked out of the handsome tent.

As soon as everyone came out of the tent, another soldier of the Hedong Army flew over in the distance, and as soon as he arrived in front of Wang Yi, he knelt on the ground with a "poof", looked up at Wang Yi, and said with a crying voice: "County guard, the upper reaches of the river were suddenly attacked by the cavalry of King Hongnong, and the 10,000 soldiers who blocked the river were already defeated." ”

"Boom!" As soon as the soldier's words fell, Wang Yi suddenly heard a loud noise like thunder coming from the upper reaches of the river, and then he heard many officers and soldiers stationed near the river bank shouting: "The flood is coming! Run, brothers! ”

It's just that in an instant, the camp of the Hedong Army was in chaos, and many officers and soldiers didn't care to pick up the blades placed on the ground, and ran away from the river bank with their heads in their hands.

"Guard, go!" The officers and soldiers in Hedong were in chaos, and Xiahou Ying, who was standing behind Wang Yi, shouted, and he didn't care about any dignity, so he stepped forward and grabbed Wang Yi's arm, pulled him and ran away.

Huang Boxi, who was on the side, saw that the two of them had run away, as if he had suddenly forgotten that he was old, and followed the two of them for a while, which was even faster than ordinary young people.

The thunderous roar was getting closer and closer, and Wang Yi, who was being dragged by Xiahou Ying and running wildly, heard a burst of people's howls from the roar.

The overwhelming water rushed towards the military camp where they had been stationed, and a large splash of water rushed towards Wang Yi and the others, soaking them wet.

Everywhere there were officers and soldiers running wildly in Hedong, with fast legs and feet, who had already run away, and those who were sluggish were swept into the river by huge waves before they had time to leave the barracks.

Originally, Wang Yi wanted to use the flood discharge to wipe out Liu Bianjun here, but he didn't expect that when he reached the worst point, he would lift a stone and hit his own feet.

The roar of the flood discharge was like a burst of rolling thunder, and Liu Wei, who led the army to camp against Zhongtiao Mountain, heard this roar, and also walked out of the tent, looking at the direction of the water, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After a long time, the distant roar gradually subsided, and the water had already stopped its rage. The sun at the end of the day also set on the top of the mountain, and the afterglow that spread over the earth gradually faded its color.

After a whole day of fighting, the wilderness between Zhongtiao Mountain and Lianshui was full of dead officers and soldiers on both sides.

Blood beads hung on the green grass, glowing with a dark red sheen in the sunlight that had not yet completely subsided.

A group of soldiers armed with short swords walked back and forth among the dead bodies everywhere, and with each corpse they walked by, they would turn the person lying on the ground over and carefully check whether there was any breath.

"Carry it away!" An officer with a short sword rummaged through dozens of corpses and found a soldier of Liu Bianjun who was still breathing, and hurriedly beckoned to the soldiers who were following him, and said to those soldiers: "This brother is still saved!" ”

Several soldiers behind him hurriedly stepped forward, and two of them lifted the dying seriously wounded and quickly ran towards Liu Wei's camp.

Compared with the treatment of Liu Bianjun's seriously injured patients, those Hedong officers and soldiers who did not die on the battlefield were much more miserable.

A soldier of Liu Weijun, who was examining the corpses, was rummaging through the dead bodies on the ground, trying to find those Tong Ze who were still alive.

Suddenly, a bloodstained hand grabbed his ankle, and the ankle was suddenly caught, startling the soldier of Liu Bianjun.

He hurriedly turned his head and looked back, only to see a blood-covered soldier of the Hedong Army lying on the ground, with all his strength on his head, looking at him pitifully. It was the seriously wounded Hedong Army who grabbed Liu Bianjun's soldiers.

"Save me......" Grabbing the ankle of the soldier Liu Bianjun, the seriously injured soldier of the Hedong Army said in an extremely weak voice: "Big brother......"

"Alas!" Looking up at the officers and soldiers of Liu Wei who were rummaging around for corpses, the soldiers who were grabbed by their ankles sighed lightly, turned their heads and said to the soldiers of the Hedong Army: "This big brother screamed, and my brother can't watch you suffer!" Big brother, okay, give you a ride! Don't go against Your Highness again in your next life! ”

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the hair bun of the Hedong soldier, and the short sword in his other hand slashed at the throat of the Hedong soldier.

The short sword slashed, and a long cut suddenly appeared in the throat of the Hedong soldier who was calling for help, and a stream of blood gushed out like a fountain.

His eyes were wide open, and as the blood gushed out, his eyes gradually lost their lustre.

"Your Highness, more than 5,000 of our troops were seriously injured and killed in this battle, and countless people were slightly wounded!" Liu Wei was watching the officers and soldiers in the distance clean up the battlefield, Yang Feng walked behind him and whispered to him: "The Hedong Army has good combat strength, if you bring the wounded, ......"

"We can't leave behind any soldier who has the potential to heal Lu!" Looking at the officers and soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield, Liu Wei said to Yang Feng, who was standing behind him: "The soldiers follow this king, all they want is to be able to eat enough and have a stable family business in the future!" As long as there is a fight, there will be death! Many soldiers will die on the battlefield, but we must not leave those soldiers who do not deserve to die here alive. ”

Listening to what Liu Wei said, a trace of guilt appeared on Yang Feng's face.

At that time, the Yellow Turban Army went to various places and fought against officers and soldiers. In many cases, in order to get rid of the pursuit of the officers and soldiers as soon as possible, they had to leave some old and weak or wounded soldiers behind.

Those who were left behind, almost without exception, were captured by the officers and soldiers and beheaded.

In Yang Feng's opinion, compared with the indifference of the Yellow Turban Army, the King of Hongnong in front of him is much more benevolent and righteous.

The sky gradually darkened, and after a big battle, piles of bonfires were burning in the field, and many officers and soldiers of Liu Bianjun were digging deep pits in the field by the light of the bonfires.

Several soldiers carried the corpses to the edge of the pit and threw them into the pit one by one.

On the wilderness full of weeds, there was a thick smell of blood. Countless corpses were thrown into the pit, but the smell of blood did not dissipate for a long time.

"Pass the order, the soldiers will rest tonight, and tomorrow morning, they will fight the Hedong Army again!" Looking at the direction of the water in the north, Liu Wei gave an order to Yang Feng beside him.

"No!" Yang Feng clenched his fists and bowed, answered, and then turned to leave.

The bonfires in the field were still burning, and many officers and soldiers of Liu Wei were still looking for the dead bodies scattered in the grass in the firelight, and from time to time, a few soldiers would carry the fallen corpses out of the grass and throw them into a deep pit that was already full of dead people.

In the distance, there was a dead silence in the direction of the Hedong Army, and not even a bonfire was lit.

The search, burial of the dead and the search for the wounded had been carried out all night, and by the time the campfires had been extinguished in the field and the search was nearing its end, a thin morning light had appeared in the eastern sky.

The sound of chattering echoed in the barracks, and the officers and soldiers who had slept all night had already gotten up one after another and got out of the tents.

Many people are packing up their tents for the march, and some are setting up stoves and cooking on fires in the open field.

"Everyone eats seven points full!" Liu Wei, who had just woken up, came out of the camp tent when he heard Yang Feng's shout from the barracks: "When the Hedong army is defeated, I will have a full meal later!" ”

Hearing Yang Feng's shout, Liu Wei said to a personal soldier guarding outside the tent: "Please General Han come over!" ”

The soldiers responded, and quickly ran towards the camp where the officers and soldiers of Han Xian's department were stationed.

After a while, the heavily armed Han Xian trotted in front of Liu Bian, clasped his fists and bowed to Liu Bian, "What does Your Highness command?" ”

"Yesterday was a scuffle, today is the time for you to show your dew!" Looking at Han Xian standing in front of him, Liu Wei said to him: "You lead two thousand crossbowmen and three thousand Pudao battalions to challenge the Hedong Army, and this king will personally suppress the formation for you!" ”
