Chapter 164: If you don't see Bai Yan, how dare you feel at ease!
"General!"
"General!!"
In the canyon, a wounded iron cavalry soldier sat on the ground and bandaged, and when he saw Bai Yan and several generals coming, he spoke one after another.
Bai Yan looked at the injuries of the soldiers as he walked.
Because Fang Cai only had an army of iron cavalry under his command and did not have any reinforcements, as the chief general of the iron cavalry, he had to lead the army to rush to kill the Yue tribe.
Bai Yan knew that the Xiongnu army would not give him much time to save people, and if they didn't rush to kill, not only would they not have time to defeat the Yue tribe, but they would not even be able to save the soldiers at the head of the city.
"General, 1,477 killed and 232 seriously wounded."
A general came to Bai Yan and said softly.
After Bai Yan heard this, even though he was prepared, he was still shocked by the casualty figures of the cavalry.
One thousand four hundred and seventy-seven!
Behind this number, what came to Bai Yan's mind was the soldier lying on the ground that he saw on the battlefield before.
"Many of them are seriously injured and cannot be saved!"
Chai was beside Bai Yan and said softly.
Just after the battle, the number of people who really died in the battle will not be so large, behind this number of casualties, many of them are wounded and fallen from their horses, and they are seriously injured and fall to the ground.
The Xiongnu army came to reinforce the Yue tribe, but no one saved them, and those soldiers couldn't get on their horses and leave.
As for what will happen, they can know just by thinking about it.
"Let the Qin officials register the soldiers who died in battle, as well as a Qin official who died in battle, and then all the Qin officials went south, and went to Yuzhong with the list of fallen soldiers."
Bai Yan turned his head and ordered.
The voice fell.
Bai Yan closed his eyes, stabilized his mind, and understood that the immediate priority was to settle the injured soldiers.
"The seriously injured soldiers followed the Qin officials to go south around the mountain road, and the rest of the seriously injured soldiers who could not go south retreated five miles to recuperate."
Bai Yan opened his eyes and spoke.
Unlike other generals, Bai Yan attaches great importance to the aftermath of the battle.
In Bai Yan's heart, don't underestimate this small move, but this accumulation over time is enough to change the momentum of all the soldiers when they are fighting.
Fighting lies in the details, and strengthening the army lies in accumulation.
Bai Yan believes in a truth, brave people are not born, but dare to fight after having no worries.
The courage of one person can kill the generals, and the courage of an army can destroy a country.
"No!"
"No!!"
The two iron cavalry generals hurriedly handed over the order, and then turned around to make arrangements.
At this time, there was the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and an iron cavalry soldier rode a war horse quickly, and after coming to a short distance to restrain the war horse, he dismounted and ran towards Bai Yan.
"General, the Yue clan and the Huns have all been stationed in the plains!"
The Iron Cavalry said to Bai Yan.
"Okay, I'll take a look!"
Bai Yan nodded, there was no surprise that the Yue clan and the Xiongnu were stationed.
Everything he had done before had made the Yueshi suspicious of the Xiongnu, although it was not enough to turn his face, but because the loss of the Yueshi tribe was too huge, the Yueshi people would definitely be unbalanced and dissatisfied with the Xiongnu.
In such a state, there is no trust between each other, and neither the Yueshi nor the Xiongnu are willing to take the lead when they go south.
What's more, the iron cavalry army under his command is still here, and the Yue clan and the Xiongnu will never dare to continue south.
"Let the soldiers kill the wounded horses that they have snatched back, and the war horses of the Qin officials will be left for them to use to go south."
Bai Yan turned his head to Chai and said.
The soldiers who came down from the city just snatched a lot of Yue's war horses, and those wounded horses could be killed as food, and the soldiers had their own war horses in the canyon, and they didn't need to hurt the horses.
It was not early, and now the Xiongnu and Yueshi tribes would never dare to rush into this canyon.
The soldiers can be put in order with peace of mind.
"No!"
Chai arched his hand and nodded.
A moment later.
Under the leadership of the soldiers, Bai Yan and Ye and the others quickly stopped at a place at the exit of the canyon, followed the path repaired by the soldiers on the side, and walked towards the top of the canyon.
The winding and steep path is full of weeds.
Bai Yan climbed for a long time before he came to the top of the valley, at the top of the valley, the field of vision was broad, and at a glance, he could clearly see that on the plain, there were continuous fires in Gaonu City, and the huge smoke and black fog shrouded all the above Gaonu City.
"General!"
"General!!"
The four iron cavalry soldiers stood at the top of the valley and hurriedly saluted when they saw Bai Yan coming.
Because the valley is steep, it is not easy to go back and forth, in addition to using tree branches, some special situations need to go down to report, so manpower must not be missing.
"Hmm!"
Bai Yan took the kettle from the industry and handed it to the four soldiers.
"Thank you, General!"
Kou Zhuang was not polite, and took the kettle with a smile.
Xi and the other two iron cavalry soldiers, seeing this scene at this moment, their eyes flickered, as new pawns, they had seen the general when they reported the situation at the city gate before.
This was the second time they had seen the general, and this time it was so close.
"Whew~!"
Kou Zhuang drank two sips of water, sighed comfortably, and then handed the water bag to Xu.
Like Kou Zhuang, at this moment, their hands, bodies, and swords are all stained with blood.
"General, neither the Xiongnu nor the Yue clan dare to go to the valley to camp now!"
Kou Zhuang came to Bai Yan's side and said with a smile at Bai Yan.
On the side.
Listening to Kou Zhuang's words, Yu and the other two new riders looked at Gao Nu City, and then at Bai Yan.
At this moment, the three of them looked at Bai Yan's eyes, full of reverence and admiration.
If at the beginning, when they were patrolling outside the Yunshan Pass, they saw the Xiongnu army and the Yueshi army for the first time, and their hearts were full of horror.
So until now, looking at the plains in the distance, countless Xiongnu camps and Yueshi camps, there is no fear in my heart.
In the past, when they were still new horsemen, they heard that in the first battle to destroy Korea, the five doctors Bai Yan were ordered to turn the tide in danger.
At that time, they were just curious, and they thought it was amazing.
Until now, they have become new horsemen, and together they follow the general to resist the 150,000 army of the Xiongnu and Yueshi.
At this time, looking at the Yueshi and Xiongnu who did not dare to advance or retreat on the plain in the distance, the three of them realized how powerful the general was.
I finally understood why when the general did not come to Gao Nu to take up his post, Wu Chang Kou Zhuang was so admired and loved when he talked about the general.
"It doesn't matter, since they are camped in the plains, let them not live at night."
Bai Yan heard Kou Zhuang's words and said softly.
Looking at the camp of the Yue tribe, as well as the camp of the Xiongnu, and then looking at the plain on the other side, where the battle had just been fought next to Gaonu City, there were countless small dots moving.
Thinking of Chai's words, Bai Yan understood that the soldiers who were seriously injured before were left behind had only a dead end.
Bai Yan didn't know if any soldiers had been captured.
If there is, in Bai Yan's heart, it is the best.
Bai Yan was not worried that the Yue clan and the Xiongnu knew about the situation here of the Iron Cavalry Army.
The soldiers below didn't know much, and even when they went to Yuzhong to ask for help, they didn't know until later.
It was the captured Qin official who told him.
But in the case of heavy casualties in the Yueshi and almost no casualties among the Huns, no one would dare to believe it easily at this time, let alone attack the canyon easily.
"General, look, Yue Clan!"
As Kou Zhuang spoke, he suddenly pointed to the Yue tribe in the distance.
In fact, you don't have to open your mouth.
At this moment, Bai Yan and Ye and the others all saw that on the plain in the distance, the Yue tribe suddenly had a huge army, rushing towards the front mountain and Yunzhong.
When Bai Yan saw this scene, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The relationship between the Yue tribe and the Huns may be more fragile than he imagined.
Yue's move was obviously to guard against the Huns.
Yuzhong City, at this moment, the city is full of high-slave people.
Although it is possible to enter the city and have an eaves to shelter from the wind and rain, in a short period of time, it is impossible to settle such a large number of people in Yuzhong alone, after all, Gaonu is one of the three major cities in Shangjun.
"I don't know, when will we be able to go back!"
"But no, I heard that the county guard ordered us to go back, but then I was worried about us considering that Bai Yan had not been dismissed, so I waited for Xianyang to demote Bai Yan to an official and then let us go back."
"I've heard about it too, but I've heard that there are still quite a few people who have returned to Gaonu with the orders of the city guard at the beginning."
"Why do you say that Bai Yan behaves like this, because I still believed in Bai Yan before, left Gaonu with my family, and came to Yuzhong to know that there are no Huns, but Bai Yan is alone."
"But no, if it weren't for Bai Yan's unauthorized order, we wouldn't have been homeless and suffered this crime in vain."
In the streets of the city, all the people of the high slaves sat in the streets, talking to each other.
In the noisy and chaotic voice, it is not difficult to hear that in the hearts of almost all the people at this moment, they are resentful and blamed for Bai Yan.
In the eyes of the people, if it weren't for Bai Yan.
They will not drag their families to this elm city, and now they are homeless with their families, and they don't even have a place to stay.
Outside the city of Yuzhong.
The originally empty plains were also full of people from high slaves, and many people began to build some simple wooden houses under the command of Qin officials.
This move was instructed by Yang Xian and Hu Jin, after all, there were too many people in Gaonu, and if they were all crowded in the city, it would not only be inconvenient to manage, but also affect the people of Yuzhong City.
Therefore, we can only build some simple wooden houses outside the city as soon as possible, although they are simple, but as long as they can shelter from the wind and rain.
And just in the distance.
At this time, a government carriage came slowly, and the people sitting in the carriage heard the movement and hurriedly lifted the window.
A moment later, the carriage came to the city gate and slowly stopped, and an official dressed in the official uniform of the Qin State and a young man stepped out of the carriage.
"Your Excellency!"
"Your Excellency!!"
When the Qin officials guarding the city gate saw the officials, they hurriedly bowed their hands.
At this time, the officials looked at the wilderness in the distance, full of people, and the streets of the city were full of people like refugees.
"Why so many people?"
The official frowned and asked with a serious expression.
"My lord, these people are the people of Gaonu City, three days ago, the Gaonu City Guard ordered the people around Gaonu City, along with the people in the city, to move to Yuzhong."
Qin officials said to the officials slowly, and said the origin of these people.
"What?"
"What?"
At this moment, not only the officials, but also the young man behind him were also in place.
For Bai Yan, this official is no stranger at all, it is because of Bai Yan that he came here.
At the beginning, after Yang Xian, the county guard, and Li Pingyan, the supervisor of the imperial history, reported the matter to Xianyang, this official rushed to the county to investigate as soon as he was ordered by the king.
Now.
The official looked at the streets full of homeless people in the city, and then at the countless men outside the city who were building shelters from the wind and rain.
Faintly, he heard the voices of the people complaining, and only then did the official realize the seriousness of the matter.
"That Bai Yan, how dare you."
The officer muttered.
Not only the official, but also the young man behind him were all confused.
"Go to the high slave!"
The official in official uniform looked at the people around him, his eyes widened angrily, and he turned around and was about to walk towards the carriage.
"Lord Meng, this is all at the gate of the city, it is better to go to Gaonu on another day, and go to see Lord County Shou first."
Seeing this, the young man hurriedly bent down and bowed his hand.
This man is Gan Si, who has a relationship with Bai Yan, and at this moment Gan Si is coming to Yuzhong to serve as the main official.
"No, if you don't ask Bai Yan, how dare Meng Yu feel at ease."
When the official named Meng Yu heard Gan Si's words, he stopped and glared at Gan Si angrily.
When Gan Si saw Lord Meng, who had always been kind along the way, he was suddenly so angry, and he was also taken aback, where did he dare to stop him.
Watching Master Meng get into the carriage, and then the carriage rushed in the direction of Gaonu City, Gan Si straightened up.
"Bai Yan is afraid that it is going to be over!"
Gan Si shook his head, at this time he not only breathed a sigh of relief for his friend Lu Sheng.
As soon as Bai Yan finished, Lu Qi, who had been in the limelight in the Lu Mansion before, completely lost his biggest reliance in Yingchuan County.
smiled.
Gan Si turned around, looked at Yuzhong City, and then walked towards the city.
Kou Zhuang originally had a total of five people, and one of the new horsemen had already died in battle.
Qin officials transmitted news through the situation of mail and post, and they could be replaced and rested at a distance of up to thirty miles.
After Xianyang received Yang Xian's bamboo slips for the first time, he sent Meng Yu, the minister of Qin, to Shangjun.
