Chapter 230: Chu Yan's Lost Soul
In the early morning, the sky will dawn and the fog will be clouded.
In the green fields, the white robes shuttled back and forth, gathering the corpses scattered in the four fields. If it is a bandit, it will dig a shallow pit and bury it, but if it is a comrade, it will be gathered together, and when Xiao Langjun raises the fire to burn, one day, he will bring his bones and souls back to Huating.
In the wilderness, there were extinguished torches everywhere, soaked in dew, and still faint smoke was emitted.
Hundreds of lowly soldiers squatted on the side of the barracks, and on their sides, a hundred white-robed soldiers with knives were waiting for them, and they were already frightened by the white robes, and their whole bodies were trembling. Looking at the solemn white robes, they now felt that they were the lambs, and the white robes were the devil. Overnight, less than 400 of the thousands of people remained, and the casualties had reached 60%!
In the camp tent, several military doctors brought from Huating were busy, Hongxiao and Zhisu were also on the side to help with treatment, and dozens of craftsmen who were responsible for escorting the grain and grass were also taking care of the wounded. If the injuries were minor, the white robes could take care of them themselves, and they carried emergency kits with them, which contained muslin bandages, knife wounds, and other materials.
Liu Nong did not take off his armor, walked slowly according to Chu Yan, and after comforting the wounded soldiers, he walked out of the camp to inspect the battlefield last night, Qu Ping, Beigong, Laifu, and Tang Lixiao followed closely behind, and Qu Ping and Beigong were whispering back to the results of the battle.
Qu Ping said in a deep voice: "This battle is an encounter battle, a total of more than 700 enemies were annihilated, 387 people were captured, 315 complete armor were captured, more than 1,000 weapons, and there were still more than 40 war horses. We suffered 57 minor injuries, 5 serious injuries, and 23 deaths, making a total of 85 people. ”
This result sounds brilliant at first glance, but Liu Nong knows that it is an inevitability in chance. There are many reasons for this: first, the white robe of Huating is practiced all year round, and it is not a matter of other property, the battle array is sharp, and the blockers are invincible; second, the armor is strong and sharp, and the broken swords and broken guns around the battlefield are proof; third, attack it unprepared, and break through the formation in one fell swoop; Fourth, friendly forces are also very good.
Moreover, although seventy percent of the enemy was annihilated in this battle, most of it was caused in pursuit, not in confrontation. In the era of cold weapons, if the casualties exceed 20%, you will panic, and 3 achievements are enough to lead to a rout! Only the elite of a hundred battles can still fight when more than half of the casualties are lost.
However, even with this big victory, Liu Nong did not see the slightest joy on his face, and brought a total of 500 white robes and 30 sword guards from Huating. In such a battle, there were more than 80 casualties, nearly 20%, and now they have just arrived in Huainan, far from Shangcai Shang. In the case of a decrease but no increase, after arriving at Cai, how many elites will be left in this batch of elites who took seven years to build?
Looking at the twenty-three corpses under the white cloak, Liu Nongjian's eyebrows became tighter and tighter, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly: 'When the soldiers are used, Fang hates less......
Laifu knew that Xiao Langjun was very worried, so he pointed to the prisoners outside the barracks and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Langjun, this is our captive, although it is not as brave as the white robe, but it is also a long-time battle-hardened pawn, and it should be taken under the account, so as not to run around and act as bandits again." ”
"Definitely!" Guo Pu shook his head, stroked his black beard, and said: "This armor is the armor of Zuyuzhou, and the soldiers are also the soldiers of Zuyuzhou, Lang Jun, don't lose big because of small!" ”
What Guo Pu said is reasonable, this place is Yuzhou, and the soldiers and generals of Xie Fu are all subordinates of Zu Yuzhou, and they cannot be taken indiscriminately. Liu Nong took a long breath and ordered: "Gather the crowd and send food to the dead!" ”
"No!"
Qu Ping was about to wave his hand, but his eyes froze, and Xun Niangzi led a few horses to come quickly.
Liu Nong looked at the heroic female general on horseback, squinted slightly, if she hadn't led the cavalry to blast the enemy's left flank last night, and wanted to win a big victory, the casualties would probably have doubled, and immediately stepped forward with a few big strides, and took a deep look: "Liu Nong, thank you Xun Niangzi for your help last night!" ”
"Without it, kill the enemy!"
Xun Niangzi glanced at Liu Nong coldly, then looked at the twenty-three corpses on the ground, and praised: "A hundred battles, it should be like this!" Then he beat the horse and walked away, ran a few steps, but led the horse back, pointed to the twenty-three clay pots placed in the reed mats in the meadow, and asked, "What is this?" ”
Liu Nong said in a deep voice: "This is, clay pot." ”
Xun Niangzi said angrily: "Hugh De people, why did you put it here? ”
Liu Nongjian raised his eyebrows and replied: "This thing is cast from the soil of Huating, and it can accommodate the bones of the heroic soul." Every time there is a war, if there is death, the bones do not exist in a foreign land, and the soul should enter the Huating! ”
Xun Niangzi raised her eyebrows, lifted the reins, and said indifferently: "Very good!" "Anyway, hit the horse and go.
Who knew that as soon as she was leaving, Han Weng came again, and the old man led the people of Wubao and the remnants of the village to reward the soldiers, carrying Zhang Zhang's dwarf case, on which were placed all kinds of food, including sheep and chickens, which was very rich.
Han Ling rode a black dog and rushed into Liu Nong's arms, shouting, "Hero Liu, a big hero from the south!" ”
Liu Nong lifted Han Ling high, threw him in a circle, and then hugged him, and said with a smile: "How can Liu Nong be virtuous, how dare he be a hero." If you say that you are a hero, you should be in Han Weng, and you should be the people here! ”
"Hero, you are a hero!" Han Ling rolled his dark eyes and screamed crisply.
"Hero, Hero......"
With his shout, the villagers who were still stunned slowly knelt down.
Even Han Weng looked upright, straightened the scarf on the top, swept the hem of his robe, led the people of the dock fort behind him, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Heroes, Jiangdong sons are all heroes!" I watched this battle, but I saw the benefits of the white robe, but I saw the heroes! ”
"Han Weng, fellow villagers, please get up quickly!"
Liu Nong put down Han Ling and helped Han Weng and the crowd of black pressure up.
Looking at it, I saw that the sadness and fear on the faces of those villagers were still there, but the eyes they looked at themselves were different from those in the white robes, and they were clearly grateful with timidity.
Complex, and sentimental.
Liu Nong secretly felt that the corners of his eyes were slightly sour, but there were bursts of pride in his heart, and he couldn't hide it, he took the torch in Fu's hand, and shouted loudly: "Honk!" ”
"Woo......"
The desolate sound of the horn echoed in the wilderness, and all the white robes of Huating left the camp, and even the seriously wounded were carried by their comrades, carried by stretchers, and came to the outside of the camp, lined up in front of the firewood pile, the swords were sheathed, the shield was held up on the right chest, and the eyes were devoted to the twenty-three corpses.
But the villagers retreated one after another, and even Han Weng looked at Liu Nong incomprehensibly.
At this time, Guo Pu looked at the faces of the villagers, took a big step, and chanted loudly: "Wu Gexi was rhinoceros armor, and the car was wrong and the short soldiers picked up the ......" The tragic and heroic "National Martyrdom" was sung by Luo Sheng, which suddenly eased the expressions of the frightened villagers.
Liu Nong was silently happy, and said loudly: "The enemy is like a cloud, and the arrows are falling and the soldiers are vying for the first......"
"Ling Yu is in a hurry, and his left side is injured and his right blade is injured...... This is the battle song of Huating's white robe, and everyone can sing it.
Suddenly, the vast green field sounded singing.
In addition, Han Weng also sang loudly, and then, thousands of dock residents and villagers sang along, and Han Ling sang crisply while patting the head of the big black dog.
After the impassioned singing was over, Liu Nong threw the torch and the blazing fire ignited.
Rifle shouted, "Knock! ”
"Knock !!"
Liu Nong pressed the broadsword, closed his eyes, bowed his head heavily, closed his eyes in the white robe, and bowed his head under the leadership of Han Weng. Even Xun Niangzi, who was peeping from a distance, led people to bow their heads slightly towards the firelight. And the squatting captives saw this, and couldn't help but look at the messy mound in the weeds, their lips couldn't help but tremble, their faces were dazed, and there was an undercurrent in their eyes.
Eagle ......
The harrier eagle passed through the mist, circled its body, chopped its wings down, and perched on Tang Lixiao's arm, Tang Lixiao walked quickly towards Liu Nong, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Langjun, there is something different!" ”
At the same time, on the top of a small hill outside the village, on a tall locust tree, a Tsing Yi sword guard jumped down from the tree, quickly climbed onto the horse's back, clamped the horse's belly, and shot arrows out in the direction of the rising red sun.
"Xiao Langjun, the army is approaching, eight miles away! Number of people, thousands! ”
"The army? Where did the army come from!! Han Weng was shocked, while a group of villagers and castle residents trembled with fear.
There will be a catastrophe on the horizon, and everyone is in danger!
Liu Nong's heart jumped, his sword eyebrows tufted, he waved his hand, and shouted: "Han Weng, and lead the villagers back to the dock!" He said to Qu Ping again: "Hurry back to the camp and line up!" Quickly walked through the chaotic crowd, walked towards Xun Niangzi, and said in a deep voice: "What is the joint operation for?" ”
Xun Niangzi raised her eyebrows, slowly pulled out the Hua Sword, and said coldly: "It's good to be in the same battle with the white robe!" Stretching out his hand to grab his mouth, he whistled "shhh
"Thank you!"
Before he could say more, Liu Nong walked towards the camp of the party, his heart was beating like joy, his face was as cold as water, and he was calm. Beigong has already begun to set up a formation, the dock fort is too small, and it is the ultimate to accommodate the people and villagers at the same time.
Rifle pointed to the group of captives and asked, "What should a strong enemy do?" ”
Guo Pu's eyebrows jumped, he lowered his voice, and said coldly: "Lang Jun, take advantage of the fact that the enemy is still eight miles, and it should be!" As he spoke, his right hand pulled heavily.
Kill? Or expulsion?
Liu Nong coldly glanced at the group of captives with different expressions, his heart was like numbness, whether he was a friend or an enemy had not yet been distinguished, and he didn't dare to be careless after an encounter last night, if it was an enemy or a friend, when the battle was due, these captives would fight back and rush into disarray of the camp, and the consequences would be unimaginable. When there is no continuation, it will be disturbed. Secretly gritted his teeth, and wanted to nod.
Suddenly, one of the captives shouted, "Liu Yingying, Liu Yingying!" ”
"Huh?!"
Liu Nong twisted his sword eyebrows and looked back, only to see that one of the captives was holding his hands high, indicating that there was no threat.
When the man saw Liu Nong's view, he knew that the current life and death judgment was made, so he immediately slowly bent down and stood up, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Yingying, we are willing to fight the enemy for Liu Yingying!" Why don't you let us hold a knife within 20, 30, or 50 steps outside the camp, if Liu Yingying is afraid that we will rebel, we can kill them one by one with arrows! Even if we hold a knife and turn inward, we can't break through the camp! If we hold the sword outward, let it be a help! ”
Three ladders presented as shields?
In such a short period of time, it has been my worries!
Liu Nong half-squinted, staring at this person, only to see that his face was ordinary, only his eyes were shining, even if he was under the knife and axe, he did not see the slightest look of fright! It's more strange in my heart, but there is no room for delay.
To bet, or not to bet?
After three breaths...... (To be continued.) )
