Chapter 107: Grief seems to be reincarnated

In view of Jiang Yuqing's heroic feat the night before, the breakfast in the wounded barracks the next day was qualitatively improved.

In addition to a bowl of millet porridge, each casualty had half a bowl of milk and a boiled egg.

These things, which were ordinary in later generations, are comparable to the delicacies of the mountains and the sea in their eyes.

Everyone eats extremely cherished, even almost pious, and Jiang Yuqing's heart is sour.

When they finished eating, she took a few nurses on rounds. These cute and straightforward guys actually shoved hidden eggs into her hands.

"Little Divine Doctor, this is for you!"

"Little Divine Doctor, eat me. I've been covering it and screaming......"

Jiang Yuqing was sad and extremely moved at the same time, opened the small cloth bag he was carrying, revealing the three round eggs inside, and deliberately showed off in a relaxed tone: "Look, I have three, more than you." So yours should eat your own! ”

The wounded touched their heads, smiled and took the eggs back, carefully peeled off the shells and ate them.

On the seventh day of the lunar month, the third day of a brief truce.

On the Gobi Desert, ten miles north of the Yumen Pass camp, 30,000 soldiers with filial piety cloth tied to their heads carried picks, hoes, and shovels, and dug graves in silence.

The frozen ground was very difficult to dig, but none of them complained. It's just silently digging the soil, picking and shoveling, dull as if chiseled on the tip of people's hearts.

Not far away, those simple mounds of earth are the places where the former robes now sleep.

The shelves on the second floor of the white tent next to it were full of bare coffins. On the outside of each coffin was a simple wooden plaque with the names and years of birth and death of the brothers they had died in black letters. It's also their tombstone.

There were seventeen such white camps, and a total of thirteen thousand four hundred and fifty-one coffins were stopped, and they had a total of thirteen thousand four hundred and fifty-one brothers, who lay here forever.

Fortunately, this is the winter when the dripping water turns into ice, and I am very grateful to the coffins sent by the prefect of Suzhou, otherwise the remains of the brothers will rot or be eaten by wild wolves or something before they can wait for them to dig the grave.

It also seems that every life and death parting here will always happen in this cold winter.

The grave was dug up.

In the howling cold wind, under the gloomy and cold sky, the soldiers put down their pickaxes and walked into the white camp in silence, and the coffins were lifted in groups of four and placed in the burial pit in turn.

Looking at the black and gray mud mixed with the white snow covering the coffin little by little, at this moment, everyone's tears rained down.

Jiang Yuqing suddenly remembered a poem he had read in his previous life: "Giving birth to a daughter still has to marry a neighbor, and giving birth to a boy is buried with a hundred grasses." You don't see, Qinghai head, no one has collected the white bones in ancient times. The new ghost is annoyed and the old ghost is crying, and the sky is cloudy and rainy, and the wet voice is chirping! ”

The silent funeral lasted from morning to dark, and Jiang Yuqing felt as if her tears had dried up.

In her previous life, she sent her comrades-in-arms. Later, her comrades-in-arms also sent her. In this life, it is her turn to send her comrades-in-arms again.

Although she is no longer a soldier in her life, in her heart, they are all her comrades-in-arms.

She is in reincarnation, and grief seems to be reincarnated.

When the last grave pile was piled up, everyone knelt down on one knee facing the tombstone, and roared with iron blood and grief: "Brothers, go all the way!" We are ready to kill all the Huns and avenge our brothers! ”

A bowl of turbid wine, respect heaven and earth, worship ghosts and gods, and also respect these loyal souls.

At some point, snow fell in the sky again. In the twilight, this tombstone, which is not visible at a glance, seems to be silent, resolute and alive.

Sheng, they built the Great Wall with flesh and blood, and did not let the Tartars close the door one step further. Dead, they also turned into war spirits and continued to defend the land they loved.

They are the most resolute Great Wall in the north.

After returning in the evening, none of the military doctors who attended the funeral were in the mood to eat. Jiang Yuqing didn't eat either, and after checking the room, he went back to the tent and sat in a daze.

In the middle of the night, the camp suddenly became noisy. After Jiang Yuqing was awakened, as soon as he ran out of the tent, a herald came: "Tongluoguan asked for help, and the military doctor quickly followed." ”

Jiang Yuqing was shocked, and quickly made arrangements, and then ordered ten doctors and twenty medical apprentices plus her to form a team of thirty-one military doctors, symbolically brought some medicines, and set off with the rushing army.

It turned out that the Tartars saw that the Yumen Pass could not be attacked for a long time, not to mention the heavy casualties, and there was not much grain and grass left with them. They are not like the soldiers of Great Xia, who can be supported by grain and grass at any time.

That's all you can bring on horseback, and you can only drink the northwest wind after eating. As a last resort, the Xiongnu commander had to make another idea and think about it to choose Tongluo Pass in the southwest of Suzhou.

Although the terrain there was the most precipitous, the number of guards was also the smallest in the entire northwest defense line, with only more than 30,000 soldiers and horses. This is more than 30,000 troops, and a few days ago, 10,000 people were sent to support the nearby Hangu Pass.

The Tartars avoided the eyes of the guards of Yumen Pass, and divided their troops into 60,000 troops, led by the fifth prince of the Xiongnu, Huyan Agoura, and the general Habatel to rush to Tongluo Pass.

Tongluo Pass was in danger, and as a last resort, the main general, General Wang, had to ask for help from other battalions.

Among the five major battalions in the northwest, the closest is Hangu Pass, and Hangu Pass is also difficult to protect itself, otherwise there would be no Tongluo Pass sending troops to support before.

Further north is Jinchuan Pass, Jinchuan Pass and Jinling Pass side by side, and the Tartars are inextricably fought.

Only the farthest Yumen Pass can be called for help, and the Yuguan Gate is three days away from Tongluo Pass.

The military situation is like fighting a fire, and it cannot be delayed for half a minute. Except for occasional stops to go to the toilet and a short rest along the way, the army did not dare to stop for half a moment.

However, before they could reach Tongluo Pass, they heard bad news.

The Causeway Pass was broken, the main general Wang Lao General was killed in battle, and the soldiers guarding the pass did not survive a lifetime, and all of them died in battle. How tragic this is.

General Wei Qing, who led the team, instantly turned red in his eyes. He was once a subordinate of General Wang, and it can be said that General Wang was half of his master.

The army accelerated its march, and when it arrived at Tongluo Pass, it saw that the gate was wide open, and there were stumps and broken arms everywhere, and corpses were everywhere. There are Great Xia soldiers, and there are also Hun Tatars.

Jiang Yuqing saw the body of a Great Xia soldier who had been cut in half, and the exposed intestines dragged out of the body.

There were bright red blood stains everywhere on the snow, and because it was so cold, it had formed patches of blood ice. White snow, red blood.

The tragic situation at the scene cannot be described in words.

Rao is the military doctors who are used to seeing blood, and they can't stand it, and two nurses can't help retching on the spot, crying while vomiting.

And the heads of the main generals, General Wang Lao and several lieutenants, were cut off by the Tartars and hung on the city gate tower.

Seeing this, the soldiers of Great Xia went crazy in an instant.

After rescuing the heads of several generals and putting them together with their bodies, Qi Qi let out an angry roar: "Chase, kill all the Tartars, and avenge General Wang's tragic death of his brothers in Tongluoguan."

The army followed the trail left by the Tartars.

Soon, the scouts came to report that the Tartars had burned all the way, and now they had swept through Tongluo County to Xichenyi, and there was a tendency to approach the capital of Suzhou.

When Jiang Yuqing heard this, he almost went crazy. Suzhou Mansion, her parents and relatives are there, absolutely not.

For a moment, she wanted to leave everything behind and go back to Suzhou, but in the end reason overcame her.

Believe in General Wei, believe in the soldiers, they will definitely be able to stop the Tartars.

At this time, after Jiang Wenyuan received the news that Tongluo Pass had been breached. Immediately ordered all the personnel of the nearby county and town to temporarily go into the mountains to take refuge, and at the same time ordered to close the city gates, and everyone in the city was not ready for battle.

After that, he took his son Jiang Yuchuan and the family members of the whole mansion to recruit strong men in the city, and invited the disabled veterans who retired in the city to guide him, and went out of the city to dig horse pits along the roots of the city wall and set up stumbling ropes.

While collecting all the oil in the city and heating it, and carrying it up to the city wall, he himself sat at the head of the wall, ready to fight to the death with the invading Tartars at any time.

Even the Lu family gathered the maids of the whole house, silently prepared the wound medicine, and tore the plain silk and cotton cloth into gauze.

This effeminate woman has unprecedented firmness in her eyes. The daughter is on the front line with the army, and the husband and son are sitting at the head of the city, if they can't survive, there is no need for them to live anymore, and it is good for the family to get together underground.

The people who were originally panicked felt inexplicably calmed down when they saw their beloved prefect and little prince standing straight at the head of the city.

Yes, Master Jiang is not afraid, what are they afraid of? Big deal, die! If you are lucky, you will be reincarnated in the next life, and you can still be brothers with Lord Jiang.

At the same time, the army led by Wei Qing rushed all the way, and finally intercepted the remnants of the Xiongnu army in Xichenyi a day later.

Jiang Yuqing followed all the way, and all the villages he passed along the way were robbed, burned, and killed by the Tartars.

The old man was hacked to death at the foot of the wall, the child was stuck on the tip of the fence, and Jiang Yuqing even saw a pregnant woman who had her belly cut open and died blindly.

And the poor little fetus with the umbilical cord still attached was cut in two, thrown aside, and frozen black and purple.

Jiang Yuqing's eyes instantly turned blood-red, and he bit his lip to prevent himself from crying. With trembling hands, she sewed the little fetus in two, and then put it back into his mother's womb and sewed it up.

After that, he arranged the clothes for her, choked up and said firmly: "Auntie, you and your little brother rest in peace, I will avenge you." I swear by my life, none of these brutes will want to return to the Huns alive! ”

After she said this, the pregnant woman's wide open eyes miraculously closed. Perhaps, she really has a spirit in heaven!

The hatred completely ignited the anger of the soldiers, and when Fang and the Tartars came into contact, the battle immediately entered the white heat.

When the Tartars attacked the city, they had already suffered more than half of the casualties, and at this time, there were not more than 20,000 remnants of the lower army, and the 40,000 Great Xia soldiers who were completely inspired by the bloody nature quickly fell behind.

The battle lasted for more than a day, and the more the Huns fought, the more frightened they became, and the number of people became fewer and fewer, and they were about to be wiped out.

Huyan Agoura, the fifth prince of the Xiongnu, who took the lead, had to send a team of men and horses to block the Great Xia army with all his might, and he fled at full speed with the remaining more than 5,000 people in the direction of Tongluo Pass.

The soldiers of Great Xia became more and more courageous, chasing after them and fighting, but unfortunately there were not enough horses on the side, so they had to watch the remnants of the army escape.

Wei Qing slammed his fist on the city wall with hatred. It's not that he doesn't want to chase, but there is a large army of the Huns outside the pass, and they are such people, chasing them out is to send them to death.

Without absolute certainty, he could not risk the lives of his soldiers.

can only order hatefully, set up camp, and collect the remains of the soldiers who died in the battle of Tongluoguan.

When he was approaching his son, Jiang Yuqing operated on the last seriously injured person.

She took off her surgical gown and hat, and said to her deputy, "I'll go out for a while, and I'll leave it to you for the time being." ”

The deputy thought that she was just going to the toilet or something and didn't care, so he said hello and turned around to get busy again.

Under the cover of night, Jiang Yuqing pasted an invisibility talisman on himself, rode Bai Xiaoshi and went straight to the outside of Tongluo Pass.

The blood debt must be paid with blood!
