"Herod!"

The clothes burned quickly by the wind, the roasted war horses screamed again and again, the war horses had spirits, they were familiar with the Sivandan Department, they didn't need to drive them away at all, they instinctively rushed down to ask for help, and hit their heads on the yurt, and the burning clothes flew wildly, setting the yurt on fire, and some of the war horses crashed into the crowd, and the people turned over on their backs, and they were extremely fierce.

Cheng Chumo led a thousand people to rush over, shot one after another, threw out the lit rockets, drew out the arrows and continued to shoot the bow, after two rounds of arrow rain, no one rushed out, Cheng Chumo looked at the burning yurt, and many people were hit by rockets, screaming and running around, a little confused.

If the enemy doesn't chase him out, will he still run?

"Shoot me!" Cheng Chu was silently angry.

A rain of arrows roared away, and the Sivandan tribe was in chaos, and countless soldiers rushed over to help, and finally, a team of about two hundred people rushed out of the camp and rushed up.

Cheng Chumo looked at such a person, where would he run? "Aim at them, kill me!" ”

"Canopy—"

Countless bowstrings exploded, and a rain of arrows roared away, enveloping the heads of the people who were chasing out, and most of them fell down suddenly, and the rest of the people turned around and ran away in fright, and another rain of arrows passed, and no one was still on horseback, Cheng Chu snorted coldly and shouted: "Go forward, continue to shoot the camp and create chaos." ”

The team followed Cheng Chumo forward and continued to shoot, not knowing that the Sivandan Department was now suffering.

The person who went to negotiate conveyed Qin Huaidao's words and said: "Clan elders, brothers, whether the other party is a prince of Goguryeo or not, but it looks a little similar, and there are at least more than 2,000 people around him, all of them are extraordinary, they are elite soldiers, and now they are sneaking attacks on the other side, indicating that the opponent has more than 5,000 people available, and it may be nearly 10,000." ”

"That's right, the first group of more than 4,000 warriors who pursued, none of them came back alive, and they could eat more than 4,000 of our soldiers in one go, and no 10,000 people couldn't do it." Someone immediately agreed.

"So what, you have to fight!"

"Is it possible to leave your family and run away?"

Many people shouted indignantly, venting their dissatisfaction and anger in their hearts.

The left-behind clan elder coughed, and the audience gradually quieted down.

The person in charge of the negotiation took the opportunity to say: "Clan Elder, when life and death are at stake, we must come up with a decision as soon as possible, we can't let the clansmen die, let's withdraw, escape as much as you want, as long as you find the main force of the clan, you will take revenge in the future." ”

A fine light burst out of the clan elder's cloudy eyes, like a retired wolf king who found the scenery of the past, and quickly decided: "You take all the soldiers out to kill, go west, find the leader and tell some of the here, the great enemy of the Siwandan tribe depends on you, go." ”

"Clan Elder, what about you?" The other party hurriedly said.

"I'm too old to ride a horse, so stay and drag them, give an order, the whole clan put down their weapons, stop resisting, live well, and wait for the army to come to rescue." The clan elder said coldly.

"Clan Elder!"

Everyone was shocked.

"If you don't want to be a captive, run, live and take revenge in the future, go quickly!" The clan elder urged.

A group of people rushed out of the Chinese military tent in grief and indignation, conveying instructions.

Soon, a team of more than 2,000 people rushed out of the camp and headed west.

The three brothers are in the northeast, with a tribe in the middle, and there is no way to chase them, looking at this scene, they are a little confused, the sparrow tactics have not yet exerted their power, and the opponent actually ran away, how can this be fought?

Qin Huaidao's people were in the direction of due north, and they were also a little stunned when they saw this scene, but they quickly reacted and shouted: "Yu Chi Baolin, Yu Chi Baoqi." ”

"In!" The two hurriedly stepped forward.

"Lead the troops to catch up, the enemy army is going west, leeward, you have a good wind, it is conducive to shooting, remember, don't kill them all, leave a few hundred people back to report the news, and return quickly."

"Obey!" The brothers were overjoyed and hurriedly led their troops to chase after them.

An army that has no fighting spirit and wants to escape is not to worry about, and it is a leeward, Qin Huaidao stared at the front of the Siwandan Department, the opportunity has changed, and adjustments must be made as soon as possible, and soon found that no one in the camp fought back, and they all hid in the unburned yurt and did not come out, let everyone shoot and kill, and did not put out the fire.

Is this a renunciation of resistance, a surrender?

After observing for a moment, Qin Huaidao shouted: "Captain Fang, order the three brothers of the Cheng family to rush down, take down the Siwandan Department, control the high-level, and unify the prisoners to detain. ”

"Obey!" Fang Yiai hurriedly went.

"I actually gave up my resistance." Xue Feng said with some emotion.

"Do you want to live first and wait for the army to come to your rescue?" Li Dejian said curiously.

"It should be, knowing that they can't be defeated, they can't cause casualties in vain, and there is hope for them to live, after all, they still have a lot of main forces outside, and they have a chance to be rescued." Xue Feng agreed.

Not long after, the three Turkic armies rushed into the Siwandan Department, Qin Huaidao saw that there was still no resistance, the people in the tribe obediently listened to the arrangement, and the Chinese army tent was taken down by Cheng Chubi, who was responsible for attacking the central part of the army, and controlled it, Qin Huaidao strode towards the tribe, and the rest of the pro-army hurriedly followed.

Not long after, everyone came to the tribe, many yurts were burning, there were corpses everywhere, the cries came one after another, and the flames were incomparable, Qin Huaidao forced himself not to look, not to think, and hurriedly came to the Chinese military tent with a cold face, Cheng Chubi stepped forward: "General, more than a dozen people are inside, one of them claims to be the clan elder, is the person in charge of the stay, and said that he wants to see you, you see?" ”

"Stay around!" Qin Huaidao said a word of advice and walked in, and Fang Yiai hurriedly followed in with a team of Yulinwei pro-army.

The space in the Chinese military tent is not small, more than a dozen people are sitting around the bonfire, their faces are heavy, the first person is an old man, looking at Qin Huaidao who came in, looking at his appearance, he is a little unsure whether he is a Goguryeo person, and asked indifferently: "You are the prince of Goguryeo?" ”

As soon as Qin Huaidao heard that it was in Tang language, it was okay to communicate, and asked rhetorically, "Where is the covenant?" ”

The patriarch's face changed, and when he came in, he asked what the covenant was for? Could it be the Tang Army? Only Tang Jun cared about the alliance, and it could also be that Goguryeo, who opposed the alliance, was the king, and his cloudy old eyes narrowed into a slit, staring at Qin Huaidao and asking: "Why are you attacking my Sibandan Tribe, aren't you afraid of the wrath of the warriors of the Sibandan Tribe?" ”

Qin Huaidao asked coldly: "This king has a bad temper, and he doesn't like to say the same thing a second time." ”

"I just want to know what you're looking for the Covenant for?" The other party's tone was gloomy.

"This king doesn't like alliances, you are just a group of uncivilized fools, you are not qualified to form an alliance with the great Goguryeo, come out with the alliance, this king can save you from death, otherwise, the entire tribe will be killed." Qin Huaidao pretended to be fierce and shouted.

Everyone's faces changed drastically, if they were all killed, what was the point of enduring humiliation and surrendering?

The clan elder has seen that people are kings who are unwilling to form alliances, and he has long heard that many people in Goguryeo are unwilling to form alliances, but now it seems to be true, and asked: "The covenant is on the leader, not on the tribe, if you betray the covenant, you will definitely become the public enemy of the entire Khitan, is this what you mean, or does the king of Goguryeo mean more?" ”

"This king needs to explain to you?" Qin Huaidao pretended to be cold and arrogant and shouted: "Since it's useless, let's kill it, keep it and waste food." He walked outside.

The Yulinwei pro-army drew their swords one after another, and they were about to make a move.

The old man of the Ming tribe hurriedly shouted: "No, we have surrendered, according to the rules of the Khitans, from now on we are all your private property, slaves and maids, but you can't kill us." ”

"Don't you kill and wait for your army to come to your rescue? As far as your IQ is not enough, for the sake of your surrender, this king has the virtue of a good life, give this king a reason not to kill. Qin Huaidao said disdainfully.

"The Sivandan Ministry did not provoke you, the noble prince, why did you have to kill us?"

Qin Huaidao pretended to be greedy and said frantically: "Because this king doesn't like to form an alliance and kill all of you, if the Khitan and I Goguryeo move troops, then this king can lead troops to conquer all of you, and this land will also fall into the hands of this king." ”

"You ......" the patriarch's face changed greatly, and he said coldly: "You can kill us, but don't want to conquer us, the Khitans are unyielding, they will never surrender, if you have a kind, come, kill me, but see how you explain to the witnesses of the alliance." ”

"Witnesses?" Qin Huaidao's heart moved, and he looked at the clan elder.

The patriarch said angrily, "That's right, you won't be unaware of the warnings of the witnesses, will you?" ”

"You're threatening this king?" Qin Huaidao said tentatively.

The clan elder was also mad, and said coldly: "The witness is the famous Taiyuan Wang clan in the world, you should know that as long as the Wang family cuts off the trade route, you Goguryeo can't even buy iron, and if you don't have weapons, what will you do to fight with my Khitan warriors?" When the time comes, the Wang family will fully support the Khitan, and my Khitan will be invincible. ”

"Taiyuan Wang?" When Qin Huaidao heard that it was really related to the Wang family, he pretended to be worried and asked, "How can the Taiyuan Wang clan support you?" ”

"Because the Taiyuan Wang clan needs me Khitan."

Qin Huaidao didn't ask any more questions, and walked outside, saying coldly, "Kill them all." ”

Fang Yiai hesitated, but still drew the knife.

Soon, there were screams in the tent of the Chinese army, and more than a dozen people were all hacked to death.

Qin Huaidao waited at the door for Fang Yiai and the others to come out and explained coldly: "Captain Fang, brothers, this bastard is sowing discord, intending to provoke a conflict between the imperial court and the Taiyuan Wang clan, messing with my dynasty, going against the grain, and killing him. ”

"Obey!" The crowd responded.

This matter of the Taiyuan royal family must not be spread randomly, otherwise it will startle the grass and snakes, and the court will be chaotic, but it can't be ignored, Qin Huaidao was silent with a gloomy face.

After a while, the three brothers of the Cheng family, An Guogong and some lieutenants rushed over, and An Guogong shouted excitedly from a distance: "General, this battle is a big victory, and ...... happy."

Qin Huaidao interrupted: "Order, clean up the battlefield within half an hour, take away all the cattle, sheep, property and other things that can be taken away, and quickly return to Yingzhou." ”

"Ah, do you want to withdraw your troops and return to Korea?" An Guogong asked in surprise.

"No—hide it first, and when things ferment, the soldiers also need to rest for a few days, otherwise they will get frostbitten." Qin Huaidao explained.

"Obey!" An Guogong hurriedly went.

The three brothers of Cheng Chumo surrounded him, and Qin Huaidao advised: "You go and supervise, be fast, take away all the arrows that can be used, especially the crossbow arrows, and you can't leave them." ”

The three of them nodded and hurried away.

"Captain Fang, prepare more futons tied to the horse, turn around and walk, cover up the snow traces, avoid exposing your whereabouts, go." Qin Huaidao continued to admonish.

"And your safety?" Fang Yiai was a little worried.

"General Ben is not a weak scholar, so be more prepared."

"Obey." Fang Yiai hurriedly went.

Qin Huaidao just stood at the door of the Chinese military tent, his thoughts were flying, sure enough, it was the Taiyuan Wang clan who provoked the Khitan and Goguryeo to form an alliance and try to get their hands on the territory of the Tang Dynasty, what was this for? Mess up the Tang Dynasty, and then take advantage of the fisherman?

Or is it an ulterior motive?

The thousand-year-old family is really not simple, ruthless enough!

Half an hour later, the two brothers returned with their troops, looked for someone to inquire, and hurriedly came to the Chinese military tent, and Yu Chi Baolin said: "General, more than 300 people have escaped, and all the others have been shot." ”

"What about the losses of our army?"

"Keep a certain distance to chase and kill, and with the help of the wind, we can only shoot them, and our army has no losses." Yu Chi Baolin said excitedly, one guy killed almost 2,000 people, this is a great achievement.

Qin Huaidao was relieved when he heard that there was no loss, and continued to advise: "Assist everyone to clean up the battlefield quickly, especially the arrows have lost a lot, and they must be replenished, in addition, three hundred people will be dispatched to help Fang Bereavement, and the bedding will be dragged behind the war horse with a rope, and turned back to cover up the whereabouts." ”

The brothers said yes and hurried away.

Not long after, An Guogong hurriedly came over, hugged his fists and said: "General, the cleaning is almost done, more than 30,000 usable war horses, more than 300,000 cattle and sheep, more than 5,000 bows, countless arrows, as well as a batch of green salt, a batch of cloth, a batch of gold and silver jewelry, and a batch of grain, the value of which is difficult to estimate in a period of time." ”

"Take it all, go, go east!"

Qin Huaidao said decisively, to the east is the direction of Goguryeo, do a full set of plays, empty the Siwandan Department, and without waiting for the army to arrive, the remaining dead horses that can't be taken away, and the dead sheep will be eaten up by the surviving people, which is also one of the reasons why Qin Huaidao repeatedly emphasized that he would not kill prisoners, he could do anything when he was hungry and crazy, and what could he do when the army came back?

I didn't eat or drink, so I could only rob other tribes, so I didn't believe in the Khitan.

Not long after, the army left.

After walking a distance to the east, after making sure that the people of the Bandan Department could not see it, they turned south, and after Fang Yiai drove the horses with a Yulin Wei army, each horse dragged a futon, and once the futon passed, the snow was smooth, and all the traces of passing by were covered.

After winning the battle, the morale of the army was high, and they were excited one by one, exchanging how many they had killed and how many the other party had killed, and laughing all the way.

Qin Huaidao was in a heavy mood, thinking about the next battle.

It's just an appetizer at the moment, the real big war is behind, once the Khitan Eight Divisions join forces, and Goguryeo will attack directly, Yingzhou will bear the brunt, even if there is a city, it may not be able to hold it.

Gradually, everyone saw that Qin Huaidao had something on his mind, so they were silent and concentrated on hurrying.

With Xue Feng as a guide, he didn't worry about getting lost, but he couldn't drive the cattle and sheep fast, and before he knew it, the sky was dark, everyone saw that Qin Huaidao didn't mean to stop and rest, thinking that the chasing soldiers might be killed at any time, no one complained, and the army hurried overnight.

This walk is all night, fortunately, there are war horses to walk, with the light reflected by the moonlight and snow slowly hurrying, one by one tired not light, frozen eyelids are almost unable to open.

Early the next morning, Qin Huaidao called Luo Zhang and Xue Feng and advised: "You two take a team of Yulinwei to take the first step and rush to Yingzhou, ask the governor of Yingzhou to prepare the barracks, burn the fire for heating, prepare hot water and food, Xue joined the army, there is work, it should be consumed, and the generals will exchange the captured materials for the future, and they must not lose the governor's mansion." ”

"It's just a few supplies, the general doesn't have to be polite, you can get there in half an hour all the way south, don't get lost, the last general will arrange it first." Xue Feng clenched his fists.

The two hurried away with a group of people.

"The order goes down, there is still half an hour to arrive, General Ben has already asked people to prepare food, fire and hot water in advance, all of them are ready to hold on, and they can't bear to take a sip of wine to warm up their bodies, don't drink too much." Qin Huaidao shouted loudly, this way, if it weren't for the wine to keep warm, he would have to freeze to death.

Immediately someone ran backwards to relay the order.

Soon, there were surprises and cheers from behind, and the most fearful thing about rushing in the snow was endless walking, not knowing when it was a head, too difficult, too bitter, too cold.

Qin Huaidao picked up the bamboo tube and took a big sip, swallowed it, holding his breath, until a mellow and fiery air flow rushed straight to the top of his head, and his body had some warmth, then he took a breath, took another big sip, and looked around: "Drink some of them, if you freeze it, you won't have a chance to go to the battlefield to make meritorious service again." ”

"General, thanks to this wine, I wouldn't have been able to carry it all the way." An Guogong said with emotion.

"Well, I'll give you an altar when I return to Chang'an."

"Then thank you General, this wine can really heal?" An Guogong asked.

"Of course you can, after you go back, General Ben will teach you how to do it, and the wounded should also be treated, now the wind is strong, it is too cold, the conditions are not enough, and it is not appropriate to treat the wound." Qin Huaidao said casually, looking at the wounded soldiers behind him, they were sitting on the horses drowsy one by one, and they were in a very poor state, but they had no choice but to carry them first.

Half an hour later.

When the team came to Yingzhou, the city gate was wide open, Xue Wanshu, the governor of Yingzhou, took people to greet him at the door, Qin Huaidao hurriedly went up, turned over and dismounted, hugged his fists and said: "There is Lao Dudu to greet you, I dare not be ashamed." ”

"Deserve it, you can afford it, Feng'er said to the old man briefly, you guys played very well, it's amazing, it's windy outside, go to the city, it's all arranged." Xue Wanshu hurriedly said.

The group hurried into the city, and was led to a camp, where a bonfire was burned, warm as spring, and everyone immediately felt the heat coming to their faces after entering the house, and there was hot water, and they were all overjoyed.

The people from the Governor's Mansion helped lead everyone into the barracks, everything was in order, Qin Huaidao breathed a sigh of relief, and said gratefully: "Governor, I owe you a great favor." ”

"See outside, there will be someone here to settle everyone, a few of you might as well go back to the Governor's Mansion with me, and someone has already prepared a celebration wine to pick up the wind for everyone." Xue Wanshu said with a smile.

"Please wait a minute." Qin Huaidao said and looked at An Guogong: "Call all the wounded and gather in this barracks." As he spoke, he walked towards a nearby barracks.

An Guogong hurried to inform.

There is fire, hot water, and beds in the barracks, which is where the soldiers of the border army live, and it didn't take long for the wounded soldiers to arrive, Qin Huaidao signaled one of them to untie his armor and clothes, revealing a wound, a not too deep arrow wound, the arrow has been pulled out, but the wound has signs of purulence.

Once the wound suppurated, it meant death in this era.

The wounded soldier's face changed drastically, and he said nervously: "General, will I die?" ”

Qin Huaidao comforted: "Don't worry, this is a minor injury, General Ben keeps you fine, sit down, don't move." ”

As he spoke, Qin Huaidao looked at the wounded soldiers who gathered around and added: "Everyone is optimistic about what General Ben will do, go back and deal with it yourself, or help each other deal with it, the steps can't be wrong." ”

Everyone nodded their heads and stared wide, it was a matter of life and death, and no one dared to be careless.

Qin Huaidao first boiled a cloth in boiling water for a while, then took it out and cooled, wiped the wound after almost that, and then washed the cloth again, poured wine after cooling and continued to wipe the wound, the wine irritated the wound, the wounded man couldn't help but scream, but remembering Qin Huaidao's words, he desperately endured it and didn't move.

After wiping the wound clean, pour some wine directly on the wound, disinfect it for the last time, and then take out the ointment, the ointment has been frozen, so it has to be roasted by the fire, and after it is soft, take out a small piece and apply it to the wound, and wrap it with a boiled cloth.

After doing all this, Qin Huaidao talked about some precautions.

Everyone listened carefully, full of gratitude, in the past, they were injured in the barracks, only doctors, but the doctors didn't have this means at all, and they wouldn't say anything, just take the medicine, once it suppurated, it would not be cured at all, and they would die directly, and no one would want to try that kind of pain.

Qin Huaidao's voice was not loud, but it was calm and powerful, which made everyone's hearts worry.

One of the wounded asked: "General, the black baby is a knife wound, it is very long, and he is already unconscious, can he still be saved?" ”

"Carry the person over, and deal with the minor injuries according to the method just now, quickly." Qin Huaidao hurriedly shouted.

Not long after, a wounded soldier from an unconscious person was brought in, Qin Huaidao felt his pulse, and he was still breathing, and when he saw the wounded man crying just now, he asked, "What are you crying about?" ”

"General, please save him, he is my own brother, the knife that helps me block." The other party knelt down with a puff, looking sad.

"Get up, don't get in the way of General Ben saving people, go down and deal with the wounds yourself first." Qin Huaidao looked at the governor as he spoke, and said apologetically: "Governor, I'm afraid I can't go for the time being, or you go first, I'll be there later, and in addition, can you find someone to send a small needle and thread." ”

"General Qin Gaoyi, this celebration wine is not urgent, it is important to save people, the governor of Pontus also wants to learn how General Qin saves people, maybe it will be used in the future, don't mind?" Xue Wanshu hurriedly said, her words earnest.

Since ancient times, medical skills have been secrets, and no one wants to make them public, but Qin Huaidao said indifferently: "What's so difficult about this, the governor can let the doctors in the army come over and take a look, and more people can master it, and they can save the lives of more brothers." ”

"Thank you General Qin for your advice, Feng'er, go and inform the doctor to come over, and get some more fine needles and threads, what else do you need?" Xue Wanshu was a little moved, and hurriedly arranged.

"More gauze and scissors." Qin Huaidao admonished.

Emergency treatment of trauma is familiar to Qin Huaidao, waiting for the needle and thread to be brought, in front of the military doctors who rushed to study, cut the clothes of the unconscious wounded with scissors, exposing the wound, a long knife, and it was already inflamed, the doctors looked at it and shook their heads, not believing that this could still be saved.

But Governor Xue Wanshu was there, and no one dared to say anything.

Qin Huaidao skillfully wiped the wound, then poured wine to disinfect it, and uneasily stuffed a piece of cloth into the wounded's mouth to avoid pain and bite his tongue, and said to several doctors: "Everyone can help hold it down to prevent movement." ”

"The old man came in person." Xue Wanshu stepped forward as she spoke, and several doctors also came up to help.

Qin Huaidao skillfully stitched the wound epidermis together, the wounded soldier screamed in pain, and moved up, everyone hurriedly held it down, but the other party passed out in pain, Qin Huaidao continued to stitch, and then put on the ointment, bandaged it, and immediately advised: "Don't touch the cold water, don't blow the wind, just stay here and rest." ”

The wounded man came over just now: "General, can my brother live?" ”

"Whether he can live or not depends on his desire to live, that is, whether he wants to live or not, you talk to him, encourage him to live, don't stop, until he wakes up." Qin Huaidao admonished.

"General Xie, General Xie." The other party was overjoyed and wanted to kneel again.

Qin Huaidao pulled it and said to the doctor: "You have to help you deal with the wound, follow the steps I just did, don't mess up, don't use raw water, the gauze must be scalded with boiling water." ”

"The general is polite, this method is quite novel, I am happy to see the hunt, I can't wait to try, and the rest of the people will be handed over to me, and there is no problem with keeping." One said.

"That's right, I'm just about to try it, thank you for teaching this method, but can it really work?" Someone asked.

"Everyone follow the steps, at least six or seven percent of the chance of survival, the gauze must be scalded, and treated with the general's wine and ointment, if there is a problem, it has nothing to do with everyone, please." Qin Huai said.

"You're welcome, General!" The doctors returned the salute one after another.

The soldiers were moved when they saw that the dignified prince asked the doctor to intercede in order to save everyone.

Even Xue Wanshu looked at Qin Huaidao in surprise, a little moved.

Qin Huaidao looked at it uncomfortably for a while, and saw that everyone had no problem dealing with it, so he relieved himself and said to Xue Wanshu: "Governor Du has been waiting for a long time, let's go, there are just some things that need to be discussed with the Governor." ”

"Please!" Xue Wanshu made a request.

"Let's go with you." Qin Huaidao looked at the sons of several princes.

Everyone realized that there was something important to discuss, and they all nodded their heads and followed.
