After the victory, we finally held on, and the people of Ando County were safe, although our own side finally repelled the attack of the barbarians, and also severely damaged the main force of the White Barbarian Army, but the price paid by our own side was too great!

Tian Dapeng's heart was filled with bitterness, not only was a reorganized army under his command basically scrapped, but even those bankers, men, and ordinary people hiding in the military fortress were also slaughtered, and few of them could breathe.

At the head of the military fortress, Zeng Qi, who had turned into a red-haired and red-bearded man, showed his last smile in this world, and then slowly closed his eyes and hung down the bloodstained head.

"Lord Junhou, Mr. Zeng is dead, Mr. Zeng is dead!"

The sound of the guards crying made Tian Dapeng jump up directly from the ground, and jumped to Zeng Qi's side in three steps and two steps, this old man in the age of the sixtieth year had been presiding over the defensive battle of the military fortress before Tian Dapeng returned.

The centurion died, the thousand-captain died, but the old man in the sixtieth armor persevered to the end, and did not rest for a few days and nights, and then he brandished a long knife and went into battle in person, and after Tian Dapeng returned with the crowd, Zeng Qi still sat in the city tower and watched the battle with anxiety, his heartstrings have been tightly tightened, and at this moment the general trend has been decided, Zeng Qi, who was relieved, could no longer hold on, and smiled at Jiuquan.

"Mr. Zeng, Mr. Zeng, wake up! We won, we won, reinforcements arrived, and the damned brute dogs were all beaten away by us! ”

Tian Dapeng hugged the head of the old man in his arms tightly, and cried loudly, beating the ground with his fist while crying:

"I killed you, Mr. Zeng, if I didn't go out of the city, I wouldn't be like this, Mr. Zeng, I should die, I didn't listen to your advice, and I hurt you!"

Tian Dapeng vented his inner anguish loudly, if he listened to Zeng Qi's words, how could there be such a tragedy today, it can be said that he had to bear a lot of responsibility for the loss of thousands of lives in this city, it was precisely because he insisted on going out of the city that the internal strength of the military fortress was greatly reduced, otherwise how could the 50,000 or 60,000 people of the barbarian army break through the military fortress with an integrated army.

"Marquis, mourn, people can't be resurrected after death, you still have to put your body first"

After a pause, the lucky centurion, who had survived the war, continued to Tian Dapeng in a low voice:

"The county head of Bei'an County, Zhenbei General Su Zhongqing, personally led the Fifth Army to rush to our aid, and now that their troops have rushed outside the city, the military marquis should go and greet them in person!"

Tian Dapeng carefully placed Zeng Qi on the chair, put the bloody long knife that Zeng Qi had been holding in his hand all the time, and the bloody long knife used to support his body was also placed on the side of his hand, and then stood up and said to the centurion:

"You find someone to carry Mr. Zeng, I want to go out of the city with him to welcome the soldiers of Bei'an County who rushed to our aid, and welcome General Zhenbei and His Royal Highness the Prince to come!"

The hundreds of remaining soldiers in the military fortress at the front of Ando County were gathered, and the lightly wounded supported the seriously wounded, plus the civilians who went into battle to kill the enemy together, and there were only a few living people in the entire military fortress.

It took almost half an hour for the gate of the military fortress to finally open, and the first thing Tian Dapeng did after returning was to give an order to completely block the gate of the entire military fortress, and at this time, even his own people wanted to open it from the inside, but it took a lot of effort.

Su Jun and the high-ranking members of the Bei'an army had already arrived under the military fortress, and when they saw the gate of the fortress slowly being opened, and groups of Ando defenders lined up, as well as the Ando people who followed behind them and went out of the city to greet them, even Su Jun, who was used to seeing life and death, was completely shocked.

Of the more than 1,000 people, whether it was the defenders or the common people, almost none of them were intact, and each of them had minor or serious wounds on their bodies, and those white-haired old men carried large knives in their hands, and the eldest girls and little daughters-in-law in coarse linen clothes also held spears in their hands.

It is such a group of people who did not wear armor and had no formal training who repelled the crazy attacks of the elite of the barbarian army again and again, and stubbornly defended this military fortress at the front of Ando, and it was because of this group of people that hundreds of thousands of people in Ando County were prevented from being slaughtered, and they were the heroes of the entire Ando County!

Su Junhu admired Tian Dapeng very much, this person may not be a good military marquis, but he is definitely a loyal and brave man, he underestimated him before, maybe everyone has too low an evaluation of him.

Looking at Tian Dapeng, who was standing in front of him and was bloody, Su Jun suddenly understood that he was not the only one who suffered, and it was really not easy to live in this world.

"Hou Tian Dapeng, a former army soldier stationed in Anhu County, led the whole army and the people in the military fortress to ask General Zhenbei for greeting, and thank General Su for coming to the rescue!"

Tian Dapeng knelt on one knee and buried his head deep between his arms.

Su Jun jumped off the horse, and the generals behind him also jumped off the war horse one after another, Su Jun did not step forward to help Tian Dapeng, who was kneeling on the ground, but raised his hand high and shouted loudly:

"The soldiers of the precursor of Bei'an County listened to the order, and the whole army ambushed the flag, rested the troops, and paid the highest respect to the defenders of Anhu County and all the warriors in the military fortress!"

As soon as the words fell, Su Jun was the first to pick up his robe and knelt on one knee in the direction of the military fortress in front of Ando.

The heralds jumped on their horses, ran all the way and loudly conveyed Su Jun's orders, with the herald's order, all the soldiers in Bei'an County planted all the flags on the ground, and the swords and guns in the hands of the garrisons were also uniformly facing down, and the cavalry pulled out their long knives, raised them high, and then unified downward.

After doing all this, all the soldiers of the Bei'an Army who came to the rescue, from the military marquis to the ordinary soldiers, regardless of the rank, all made the same posture as Su Jun, bowed their heads, and knelt on one knee, although many people wore armor and knelt on one knee, which was extremely funny, but everyone laughed, and the scene was surprisingly solemn and solemn.

This is the highest etiquette in the army of the Dawu Empire, and only those who have outstanding military achievements and are unanimously recognized by everyone deserve to enjoy it.

The Dawu Empire has long existed in name only, and many people don't take the Dawu Emperors who live in the imperial capital seriously, let alone their etiquette.

Su Jun made such a move at this time, expressing two meanings, first, it was the highest respect for all the Ando defenders and the indomitable people in the fortress who fought fiercely here, because each of them was a hero, whether they lived or died.

The second meaning, that is, Su Jun wants to tell everyone present that although the Dawu Empire is now divided, with the six kingdoms of Jinxi and the five princes working separately, please don't forget that all of us are the people of the Dawu Empire, we are all the people of the Dawu Empire, we have the same roots and blood!
