More than an hour later, the Xiazhou army that was chasing the enemy slowly returned.

Hong Chengluo still escaped, this guy was more slippery than a loach, but He Chunhua beat another thirty or forty Xunzhou rangers.

After deducting the damage caused by the surprise attack on this camp, Hong Chengluo only had more than 200 people left.

Tossing back and forth all night, either rushing at full speed or leading the team to kill the enemy, He Chunhua did not hide his tiredness at this time, and asked He Lingchuan: "How is the grain truck?" ”

"Thirty-four vehicles were burned, but a lot of food was rescued and is being sorted out." He Lingchuan didn't work in vain, "According to preliminary estimates, we lost a total of about 1,500 stones last night and tonight. ”

The rock wolf Lu Xin also injured a lot of Xunzhou people, and the price was that he was hit by two arrows in his body, and his right paw was slashed, and it was being bandaged by the medicine ape Lingguang at this time.

He Chunhua let out a long breath of turbidity: "It's okay." "Then he still has a family foundation of nearly 9,000 stones, so he won't go to the front line empty-handed.

Then he began to ask about the battles in the camp.

Wu Shaoyi received his flying pigeon message and prepared in advance, which did not allow Hong Chengluo to succeed in another sneak attack.

However, there were about 400 officers and soldiers left behind, but the other side had 300 cavalry, and the battle of the Xiazhou people was also extremely difficult. Before the Xunzhou cavalry could attack the horse rejection pile, they began to shoot arrows and throw fire. Fortunately, Wu Shaoyi had already asked someone to fetch water to wet the tarpaulin and various equipment, so this wave of fire attacks was not very effective.

The essence of stealing camp lies in the word "stealing", if you don't catch people off guard, the effect will be greatly reduced.

Hong Chengluo also called for the use of gunpowder to bomb. However, the grain wagons were scattered and hidden, and the damage caused by gunpowder was limited.

The two waves of strong attacks that came up did not work, and Hong Chengluo understood as soon as he looked at this battle that the other party had already prepared.

Then Elder Liang personally came on the field to fight Hong Chengluo, otherwise this guy would really have to kill on a large scale, and the Xiazhou soldiers would not only die.

The price was that Elder Liang was injured in his right shoulder and under his ribs, and the injury was not light.

He is proficient in magic, and on the battlefield against a general like Hong Chengluo, he will suffer a loss.

Elder Liang's disciples treated his injuries, He Chunhua was on the side, and the Cloud Piercing Pavilion made great efforts to defend the camp tonight, so Chief Manager He also expressed his gratitude. This was also an opportunity to test the quality of the disciples of the Cloud Piercing Pavilion, and He Chunhua was quite satisfied.

As for the little soldier who stood guard and took a nap maliciously, he was executed by military law that night and lost his head.

At dawn, Zeng Feixiong led the team back.

From the appearance of this team stepping into the barracks with their chests held up, He Lingchuan knew that they had won.

Sure enough, Zeng Feixiong went to report with the soles of his feet, and the first sentence was: "My lord, Bailiqing has been ambushed!" "The soldiers in the rear offered a human head, and they didn't blink their eyes, it was Bailiqing.

"Good, good!" He Chunhua's spirits perked up, and he felt that most of the evil qi in his chest came out, "Tell me about the battle in the pit." ”

It turned out that the Xun people left in the abandoned mine were all wounded soldiers and logistics, and the real garrison force was only fifty people.

However, at this time, Bailiqing had already woken up, and commanded his two generals to lead the rest of the troops to retreat into the mine. It was so narrow and dark that as long as there were people left behind, officers and soldiers would basically not be able to attack it.

Their responsibilities are nothing more than the mine road and the exit to the back mountain.

However, Jiao Tai had already led people to kill the Xunren guards and seize the exit position, and when he saw Zeng Feixiong putting a signal on the front mountain, he immediately set fire to the mountain at the exit of the mine and blew up the exit of the mine.

Bai Liqing and others were blocked in the mine road, and they couldn't get out on either side.

Then Jiao Tai ordered someone to light a fire and pour smoke into the mine.

The Xun people were filled with tears and had difficulty breathing, so they had to go out from the Qianshan mine and raise their hands to surrender.

Zeng Feixiong confiscated all the weapons according to He Chunhua's instructions, and then ordered to kill people, leaving no one alive!

The first to be beheaded was Bailiqing.

The corpses of the captives are also very simple to dispose of, just throw them back into the mine and seal them with the remaining gunpowder explosion.

He Chunhua looked at Bailiqing's head and smiled: "I accepted this great gift from Hong Chengluo." ”

Zeng Feixiong said again: "There is a famous general under Bailiqing called Fu Xin, and when he was about to be beheaded, he was still scolding Hong Chengluo. As soon as I saw him, I let him go, along with a dozen of his soldiers. Of the one hundred and thirty-six captives, only sixteen were released. "It's like wiping a fraction.

He Chunhua nodded: "Very good." Just let him go back and block Hong Chengluo. ”

Didn't Hong Chengluo want to borrow his hand to clean up these burdens?

How could he get the other party's wish?

This general surnamed Fu will be resentful when he returns, and he will be an enemy of Hong Chengluo everywhere, which is much more useful than killing him with a knife.

He Lingchuan's heart moved, and he interjected and asked, "What about Dong Rui?" ”

Dong Rui won't die so silently, right?

"He jumped on the strange bird as soon as he could, and flew away close to the ground." Zeng Feixiong was embarrassed, "Just after we shot the first wave of arrows." There are trees to cover it, and you can't shoot down. ”

He Lingchuan patted him on the shoulder.

Sure enough. Dong Rui's talent for escaping is always full.

Zeng Feixiong took out the storage ring again and returned it to He Lingchuan: "Thank you, with those explosives to help, we saved a lot of work." ”

After he left, He Lingchuan also wanted to return to the account, but was stopped by his father:

"Chuan'er, where's the comb?"

"Huh?" He didn't understand for a moment, "Which comb?" ”

"The comb you got from Hong Chengluo's home in White Deer Town." He Chunhua asked him, "To be precise, it seems that his neighbor took it." ”

"Oh, yes." Hong Cheng was slightly cautious, and emptied the house before leaving Bailu Town, but unfortunately people are not as good as heaven, the old woman next door had already taken away a comb, and He Lingchuan got this thing from the old woman, and there was hair around it.

He didn't think much of it, took out the comb and handed it over.

He Chunhua didn't answer: "Can you be sure that the hair is a man or a woman?" ”

“…… Try it. He Lingchuan thought about it and whistled.

After a few breaths, the rock wolf Lu Xin emerged from the dark corner and wagged his stiff tail at him.

He Lingchuan leaned over the comb: "Smell the hair on it and tell me whether its owner is a man or a woman." ”

The rock wolf opened his mouth and yawned: "Twenty catties of beef." ”

He Lingchuan was embarrassed: "For such a simple job as moving your nose, you want such a high price?" "It's only been a few months, how did the simple tundra wolf become like this?

"Why don't you come?"

"Okay, okay." He Lingchuan compromised, "I owe it first, and I'll go back to Dunyu to buy you high-quality beef." ”

The old woman assured that she had not combed her hair with the comb. And the hair is a little brown, which is unlikely to be an old woman's.

The rock wolf's wet nose leaned over and sniffed vigorously.

Its sense of smell is several times more sensitive than that of ordinary dogs, and it can even construct a set of three-dimensional images in its mind based on scent molecules alone.

"Woman, in her early thirties, in poor health, takes medicine all year round." The rock wolf looked disgusted, "Such a strong smell of medicine is about to drown my nose." ”

He Chunhua happily took the wooden comb and praised his son: "Well done!" ”

He Lingchuan asked him, "Dad, what do you want this comb for?" ”

"Be prepared." He Chunhua shrugged his shoulders, "Hong Chengluo's neighbor, but did you say that their husband and wife are harmonious?" ”

"Well, Hong Chengluo takes good care of his sick wife, serves him with soup and medicine every day, and it is said that he has to give her a full-body massage every few days to avoid muscle atrophy. The old woman said she had never heard them arguing. "I live in one of those broken houses, with very thin walls, but if there is a slight noise, the neighbors can hear it in any corner.

"Okay, okay." He Chunhua nodded, "By the way, how are the injuries on your body?" ”

"It's okay, I'll take care of it." He Lingchuan also went back, he had a medicine ape, and these small injuries could be dealt with.

He didn't know that after he left, He Chunhua ordered no guests to be seen, and ordered his relatives to guard the tent door. He himself took a black cloth to plug all the leaking gaps in the tent.

No one knows what Mr. He did in the account.

Until most of the hour later, Dongfang Xi Wei.

The bloody night finally passed, and He Chunhua walked out of the tent and took a deep breath in the face of the rising sun.

He called two more and commanded in a low voice.

The two men took the order and galloped away with more than 30 horsemen.

Waiting until dawn, He Chunhua gave an order to the large army:

"Pull out the camp and hit the road!"

There is no rest, and the grain transport team must rush to the front line as soon as possible.

Last night's offensive and defensive battle was finally won, and the morale of the team rose, and they were not resistant to setting off immediately. Xinhuang Town is so poor that ordinary soldiers can't leave the camp if they obey military orders, and staying here is not much different from the suburbs.

He Lingchuan asked for leave to leave the team temporarily, and took a dozen of his subordinates all the way to the west, running dozens of miles before finding the place where he had fought hard before, and burying Mao Tao Haosheng.

"When the Midyear Festival arrives, no matter where I am, I will burn money and paper people for you." He Lingchuan said to the tomb sign of the new tree, "I'll ask the master to make you a few paper girls with long legs and thin waists, and make sure that all of them are the ones you like." ”

This is Mao Tao's wish during her lifetime, and it can also be fulfilled after death.

￥￥￥￥￥

The rest of the journey of the grain transport team was uneventful.

When passing through the steep mountain pass, He Chunhua sent spies in advance, and the team also filled the vigilance value. However, until everyone made it, nothing happened.

He Chunhua had already judged that Hong Chengluo had suffered a lot of damage and would not make another move, and he finally relieved himself of the natural danger of completing this journey.

It's all plains in the back.

Taking stock of the battles of the past two days, he and Hong Chenglue should have won and lost each other. However, Hong Chengluo originally had more than 600 people, but now there are only more than 200 left, and more than half of the losses are lost.

It's still last night's mutual attack, otherwise the grain transport team wouldn't have been so easy to get through today's dangerous pass.

The speed of the march on the plains was fast, and two days later, the grain convoy finally arrived at the northern front!

Zhao Pan, the general guarding the border, got the news and was waiting on the side of the road.

He Lingchuan saw that Wu Yangyang was full of soldiers, and the welcome ceremony was quite grand.
