Chapter 302: Soul Peace

The shouting of killing shook the sky, and the corpses were mountains and sea of blood.

"The third." Lu Yan wrapped the knife in his hand with a cloth in a circle, and smiled at Fu Laosan beside him, "It seems that my brothers and I want to be companions on the Huangquan Road." ”

Fu Laosan laughed, he had an obvious arrow wound on his arm, and the wound was still bleeding at this time, but he couldn't bother to bandage it.

"Lu Lao Er, I thought that I came out of the salt pond beach with a flat shoulder to sell smuggled salt, it was a bad life, I didn't expect to get a garrison officer when I was dying, my father and mother lived in a big mansion that scared people to death, countless women cried and shouted and rushed to give birth to a son, this life is worth it, even if I die today, I can enter the temple to receive incense as a fairy, fathers, mothers, women and sons all enjoy Yulu, I really can't close my eyes anymore." He said.

As he said this, he looked at the tartars that had been blackened and pressed like a tide, and rushed forward with a roar.

"Kill!"

I don't know how long it took to kill, how many waves it has been killed, Lu Yan can't care about seeing who has fallen around him, all places are corpses, and his own people's tartars are mixed together.

And at this moment there was a commotion behind the Tartars, as if they were being attacked there.

"Reinforcements! Reinforcements from Da Zhou are coming! ”

"Someone burned the camp of the Tartars!"

Originally, some of the Tartars on the tide retreated, and it was obvious that there were not many reinforcements from there, but Rao was still relieving the pressure on Lu Yan's side.

Soon, there was another sound of fighting in the distance.

"Reinforcements are coming?" When the news reached the main camp of the Tartars, the leader's face was like earth, and nearly 10,000 people besieged the town less than half of his own, and the casualties were so heavy, and there were reinforcements who were not afraid of the pressure of his own troops, and it was not a wave.

"Lord Wang, according to the news, there are men and horses coming from the east and west, and it is roughly estimated that there are no less than 5,000 people..."

For a while, everyone in the tent was discolored.

"The casualties are too great. This.. This.." He muttered, finally bowing his hand, "Retreat." ”

Listening to the signal of the Tartars to withdraw their troops, and then looking at the Tartars receding like the tide, everyone was a little incredulous.

"The third, the third, the Tartar has retreated." Lu Yan shouted loudly, searching for Fu Laosan's figure.

"General. Master Fu went. The surviving general cried.

Lu Yan was stunned and stumbled.

Only then did he realize that only half of his men had survived so far, and they were all wounded, ranging from severity to severity, and there was only one general officer left.

Fu Laosan died easily, although his body was full of wounds, but his face maintained his usual rough smile.

Lu Yan stretched out his hand to support his eyes, but did not raise his hand for a long time.

"Let's see where the brothers are coming to help." He pondered for a moment and said to his subordinates.

The battlefield was in shambles, because of the hasty retreat, many of the corpses of the Tartars were not collected and taken away. Lu Yan and the other surviving people came to the direction of the first reinforcement at the beginning, and there were no most of them as imagined. There were only a dozen men standing in the group of corpses.

They were not wearing military uniforms, they were all embarrassed, and there were nearly a thousand corpses and wounded people dressed like them scattered around, Lu Yan couldn't help but be stunned.

"Dare to ask where the man is," he shouted.

The men did not look at him, but stood still, as if they were surrounded by someone.

When Lu Yan approached, those people all looked at him, but no one spoke with a sad face.

They got out of the way. Lu Yan's footsteps couldn't help but pause.

A woman was half-lying on the ground, holding a spear in her hand, and her coarse cloth garment was covered with blood.

See Lu Yan. A smile appeared on her weak face.

"This is what I often tell you, Lord Lu... Big heroes....Soon... Your Excellency," she said.

Hearing her say this, the men around him knelt down and saluted Lu Yan.

"Sister-in-law." Lu Yan grabbed it, surprised, happy and sad, he didn't expect Xie Siniang to come.

"When I heard that you were trapped here, I came with the people from the stockade, and they. . . They're all good guys.." Xie Siniang said, speaking of which, her strength seemed to be exhausted, and her voice lowered.

Lu Yan's gaze swept over the dozen or so men who were still kneeling on the ground, and he hurriedly bowed and saluted, and then he looked at Xie Siniang.

"Sister-in-law...", he spoke, but the rest of the mouth didn't come out again, because Xie Siniang moved away from the hand in front of him, revealing a piece of spear stuck in his heart.

Lu Yan only felt a thud in his brain, and stopped breathing for a moment.

He reached out to pull out the head, but knew he couldn't.

Some of the men brought by Xie Siniang couldn't help but cry in a low voice.

Xie Siniang had already begun to convulse all over her body, which was a symptom of dying from excessive blood loss, she looked at Lu Yan, her expression was calm and serene as she had never been, and there was still a smile on her lips.

"Lord Lu." She didn't have the strength to speak, and she stretched her hand over with great effort.

Lu Yan took her hand.

"Sister-in-law, you—" He tried to reassure her that she was fine, but he couldn't tell such a lie.

"Takako.." Xie Siniang looked at him, and asked a little anxiously with the last of her strength, "Should your son be... Such.. Die? Die like this... Is... It's worth it...."

Lu Yan's tears couldn't help but roll down anymore.

No, no one deserves to die, only living is worth it.

He wanted to say that, and it was the truth from his heart.

Xie Siniang looked at him a little anxiously, there was already a big cold sweat on her forehead, and the hand in Lu Yan's hand was tightly clasped into his flesh.

"Yes." Lu Yan looked at her and nodded heavily.

Xie Siniang breathed a sigh of relief, showing a smile that everyone had never seen before, looking at the face in front of her like a flower, everyone who knew Xie Siniang was in a trance.

Once there was a poor young widow walking quietly at the entrance of the village, casting a curious look at the newly appointed saltmen who were like bandits passing by.

Just one glance, and it is a lifetime.

"Agui, I'm here..." Xie Siniang spit out this sentence, unloaded the burden and closed her eyes, with a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth.

Everyone couldn't hold back their knees and cried anymore.

"My lord, my lord, I'm late."

Zhang Shun's shouts were heard in the distance.

Behind him were three thousand armorers, and before his words fell, a large number of horses' hooves came, and everyone looked up and saw that it was also a large number of armor. The word "Sun" floated nearby.

"My lord, Sun Sikong is late.."

After not seeing him for a long time, Sun Sikong, who had been promoted to Guan Ning's general, almost stumbled, got off his horse and rushed over.

The battlefield was quickly cleaned up, and during this time, Lu Yan had been standing still, and the bodies of Xie Siniang, Fu Laosan and others had been decorated.

"Junko, how many people did you bring?" He asked suddenly.

"Three thousand six hundred and fifty-four." Zhang Shun replied immediately.

Lu Yan's gaze looked at Sun Sikong again.

"In a hurry, I don't have many cavalry, only six hundred." Sun Sikong said hurriedly, touching his head with a little shame. "But there are three thousand foot soldiers coming behind me."

"How many more do we have?" Lu Yan asked his subordinates again.

"Back to my lord, there are more than 2,230 people, of which 380 are seriously injured." Immediately the congregation replied.

"Herald." Lu Yan said slowly, "Check the various departments, the chief officer is killed, and the adjutant takes over and is promoted."

This is a military order from the people, and the people receive the order.

"Except for Fu Garrison and Xie Siniang, all the deceased were cremated on the spot, and the ashes were collected and loaded into the car." Lu Yan said again.

The people were commanded again. Soon everyone was moving fast.

A fire burned half of the sky, and the survivors and reinforcements who arrived stood aside. Bow down to the dead.

Lu Yan bowed solemnly three times.

"I, Lu Yan, can't stand everyone." He said slowly,

As he spoke, he knelt down on one knee, and as soon as he knelt, others were busy dissuading him.

"General, don't say that."

"General, this is a thief and a slave, and it has nothing to do with the general. If it weren't for the general, there would have been more victims.."

Lu Yan just knelt and looked at the fire that cut away the corpses of thousands of soldiers and was silent for a long time.

"I, Lu Yan, will not let the brothers die in vain." He said slowly. "Guys.. Wait for me.."

After saying this, he stood up, took his armor, and turned on his horse.

"Let's go." He gave the order, and he headed north.

The Governor and others, who had retreated for thirty miles, were always paying attention to the news of the 10,000 Tatars here, and the prince had already returned to Beijing, and they couldn't leave yet.

A steady stream of information was handed in.

The Tartars retreated, Lu Yan did not die, the Guanning army rushed to support, and the Shanxi soldiers rushed to support and converge.

"This Lu Yan is really fierce." Liang Yong, the governor of the capital, sighed, "Such a dangerous place can still survive, and it forced the Tartars to retreat first, and there are really people who will come to his aid when the Tartars are besieging him, which shows its might..."

He was silent for a moment.

"Can Lu Yan return to the team?" He asked, only to notice that all kinds of information were pouring in, but according to the time, he did not see the person concerned.

The subordinate replied that there was no.

Trapped like this, there are no reinforcements here, there must be complaints in my heart, and it is understandable to make some emotions, Liang Yong was silent for a moment.

"Come on, I'll personally write a letter of comfort to Lu Yan." He said.

The letter spread out, like a stone sinking into the sea, and in the end, I didn't even know Lu Yan's movements.

"Father, he must be going to rebel...", the crown prince in the palace said to the emperor with a pale face.

The emperor no longer sits on the dragon chair, and since the beginning of winter last year, his health has deteriorated and deteriorated, and many times he stays in the dormitory.

"Why should he be opposed?" The emperor asked, with an indifferent expression on his face, and looked at the prince a little strangely.

The prince was a little speechless.

"He must have been jealous of the child, who put him in danger and almost died." He finally gritted his teeth and said, "But the child really didn't want to harm him, and the child didn't know that the Tartars would ambush here, and the child didn't mean to, nor did he deliberately not send reinforcements, but the situation was really unclear and dangerous at that time, and he didn't dare to act rashly....."

The Emperor nodded.

"That's right, that's exactly the case, it's really not to blame, it's just a blame Tartar, what does he want to oppose?" The Emperor said.

It seems that the father is really old and confused....The prince is a little anxious.

"Father, this is a child's idea, not Lu Yan's, he doesn't necessarily think like this..."The prince said hurriedly.

"He will." The Emperor nodded, interrupted him, and looked at the crown prince, "If you think like this, he will definitely think like this." ”

Not again... The prince muttered in his heart, and if he wanted to say anything more, he heard the sound of rapid running outside the door.

"Great victory, great victory..."

"The Shanxi army has won a great victory...."

“.. The Shanxi army ambushed 8,000 thieves and slaves, and beheaded Luo Luoya..."

The voice of the shrill eunuch was already hoarse, piercing the silence of the emperor's bedroom.
