Chapter 127: Blood spills on the battlefield and the soul returns to his hometown

Shi Danai saw that Chu Mofeng led the remnants of the Tiance army to rush to the west of the city, and the words he was about to say were suddenly stuck in his throat and couldn't speak, so he had no choice but to shake his head and shout to the soldiers on the field: "Vice General Sun, lead the rest of the men and horses to quickly organize the defense, Deputy General Zhang, carefully clean up the battlefield, especially the remains of the soldiers under General Chu's command are collected separately." ”

The two lieutenants who were named responded to the call, and quickly started to act according to Shi Danai's arrangement, and after doing all this, Shi Danai set his eyes on the west of the city, which was blocked by Huangyuan County, and prayed silently in his heart, hoping that his son-in-law would not have an accident.

Xue Rengao's camp in the west of the city, after receiving the news that Li Shimin's troops in Huangyuan County were dispatched, at first Xue Rengao simply ordered his subordinates to defend in situ, but who knew that with the arrival of bad news, Xue Rengao in the camp was a little unable to sit still.

Xue Rengao came to ambush this time with a total of less than 200,000 soldiers and horses, the previous resistance battle was damaged on both sides, and in fact Xue Rengao only had less than 100,000 horses left in his hands, in order to prevent Li Shimin's troops from jumping out of their encirclement with the help of Nandu Weishui, Xue Rengao left 30,000 horses in this formation, 10,000 people were placed at the north gate, and only 5,000 people were placed at the east gate, and the rest of the men and horses were all placed on the south bank of Weishui.

Originally thought that it was foolproof, but who knew that the arrival of Chu Mofeng could easily resolve the siege like an iron bucket, and the last news received before was that the defenders of the north gate and the east gate had been destroyed, and the defenders on the south bank could not return to the north bank quickly for a while, so the pressure on Xue Rengao's camp headquarters increased instantly.

At this moment, Li Shimin led his soldiers to attack Xue Rengao's camp along the right side, and Liu Hongji led the team to charge the camp on the left side.

And Xue Rengao's camp wall continued to have archers shoot cold arrows, which also caused a lot of damage to Li Shimin and Liu Hongji, blocking an oncoming arrow, Li Shimin sideways dodged the oncoming long knife, raised the lance in his hand and stabbed forward hard, the whole lance penetrated the body, Li Shimin dodged behind the enemy, his right hand clutched the barrel of the gun that passed through the body and dragged it hard, and a cluster of blood pillars flew up.

Looking at the stalemate on the battlefield, Li Shimin couldn't help but be a little worried, just at such a moment of distraction, there was a sharp pain in his left arm in an instant, and he saw a Western Qin soldier holding a long knife and slashing on Li Shimin's left arm.

Li Shimin, who came back to his senses, twisted his body on the spot, and his whole body was shortened downward, and the rifle in his hand stabbed diagonally upwards with the momentum of twisting, only to see that the tip of the lance was completely submerged into the throat of this person.

Seeing that the commander was injured, several pro-soldiers surrounded Li Shimin's side, and one of them whispered: "General Li, you are injured, do you want to go and bandage it quickly?"

Li Shimin shook his head and tore off a strip of cloth from the cloak behind him, took out a small paper bag from his arms, sprinkled the yellow powder in the paper bag evenly on the wound, and then simply tied it with a strip of cloth, carrying a walking lance and shouting: "Go and find a way to see why General Chu has not arrived yet, and the rest of the people will continue to kill the enemy with me." ”

At this time, one of the soldiers ran in the direction of the east of the city, and kept blocking the attacking sword while running, but after running a few steps, this person stopped, and Li Shimin shouted when he saw this: "Why don't you go? Don't you know that the military situation is urgent?"

I saw that after the personal soldier cut down a Western Qin soldier in front of him to the ground, he pointed to the front and said, "General Li, look, General Chu is here with the Tiance Army." ”

Looking in the direction of the soldier's finger, I saw a cloud of smoke and dust billowing in the distance, like a giant dragon galloping, accompanied by smoke and dust, and from time to time arrows shot out under the cover of smoke and dust.

For a while, the cold arrow offensive of the archers on the wall of Xue Rengao's camp suddenly stalled, Li Shimin shouted when he saw this, turned to the soldiers on the field and shouted: "Sons, the reinforcements have arrived, and the generals will fight to the death." ”

Chu Mofeng paid attention to the situation on the battlefield while leading the team to attack, turned to look at the only one hundred and fifty people left behind him, and pointed forward with the burning sky in his hand and shouted: "How can you say that you have no clothes? Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear, and have the same enmity with the son! Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear and halberd, and work with my son! Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers, and march with his son! Everyone in the Tiance army listened to my orders, and the whole army attacked. ”

The only one hundred and fifty remaining Tiance soldiers behind him were chanting the song "No Clothes" in unison at this moment, holding their respective weapons tightly and killing towards Xue Rengao's camp with Chu Mofeng.

The remaining fifty archers scattered and kept wandering around the perimeter of the battlefield, whispering "No Clothes" in their mouths, but their hands did not stop for a moment, and kept firing at the archers on the camp wall.

I saw an archer under the command of Xue Rengao shoot an arrow, straight into the left arm of a Tiance army archer, this Tiance archer was in pain, the whole person planted from the horse, seeing that he hit a successful hand, the Western Qin archer turned to other directions to continue shooting, just when he was about to open his bow and take the arrow, he suddenly felt a cold in his neck, and the whole person was suddenly planted from the camp wall.

It turned out that the injured Tiance archer saw that his left arm was no longer strong, so he had no choice but to replace the injured left arm with his foot, and shot an arrow with all his strength.

However, he was injured, and he had been fighting continuously without rest, after this archer cut down a Western Qin soldier, he was stabbed by two oncoming spears, and the whole person was picked into the air, until he fell to the ground, still humming the song "No Clothes" in his mouth.

On the other side, the crossbow archer behind Chu Mofeng held a crossbow in his right hand, and he changed the arrow in his left hand to shoot when he saw someone, and after the crossbow arrow was fired, he picked up the weapon on the ground and continued to fight. Quickly got up to block the three spears that stabbed again, Chu Mofeng stretched out his hand and slapped the back of the wind and shouted, "Run towards the city gate." ”

I saw that Tafeng seemed to have spirituality and actually understood Chu Mofeng's words, and ran towards the west gate of Wangyuan County with a long hiss, and when Tafeng ran to the west gate, the soldiers who had already met him led it into the city.

At this moment, Chu Mofeng turned to look at the three hideous-looking Western Qin soldiers in front of him and said, "Come on, let the little master see what you are capable of." After speaking, he waved the sky in his hand and rushed towards the three soldiers.

The battlefield is like a Shura hell, blood has already been sprinkled all over the earth, and the ground is full of dead and wounded soldiers, including those of Western Qin and those of Great Sui, although everyone is exhausted at the moment, but they are all supported by the belief in their hearts.

After Chu Mofeng and Li Shimin converged in one place, the two joined forces to form a team to rescue everywhere, Li Shimin set up a few spears stabbed in front of him in the walking canal, and Chu Mofeng got into the gap between him and the enemy, and waved the sky in his hand at the enemy's ankle, only to see the Western Qin soldier holding the spear on the opposite side threw away the weapon in his hand, sat on the ground and covered his ankle and screamed.

Seeing this, Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng hurriedly stepped forward to eliminate these soldiers, and at this time, Li Shimin shouted to Chu Mofeng: "How many people are left in the Tiance Army in your hands?"

"The battlefield is too chaotic, and one hundred and fifty people have just broken at the east city gate, and now it is estimated that there are less than sixty people left. Chu Mofeng waved his hand and swung away a sneak arrow, reached out and took out two darts from behind, and threw them out without looking, only to hear another scream on the camp wall, and a Western Qin archer covered his eyes and fell.

Chu Mofeng looked at the scene of the battle on the field, and shouted at Li Shimin: "If we continue to fight like this, we won't be able to break through Xue Rengao's camp, if only General Shi Danai could bring the soldiers from the East City Gate over." ”

"I also know, but if there are no men and horses left at the East City Gate, I am afraid that once the Western Qin soldiers on the south bank of Weishui cross the river, we will not be able to stop it. Li Shimin nodded, and said helplessly: "I made you miserable this time, and it is estimated that the two of us will be here today." ”

"Confess a fart, Li Lao Er, let me tell you, I haven't lost yet, don't give me a certain mentality, don't give up lightly until the last moment, go, and kill with me for a while." Hearing that Li Shimin's fighting spirit had decreased a little, Chu Mofeng hurriedly scolded loudly.

The two were about to continue to rush forward to kill, when they heard a slightly excited shout from behind them: "Reinforcements are coming, reinforcements are coming." ”

Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng turned their heads in surprise and looked behind them, only to see Shi Danai leading the soldiers who were supposed to be defending at the east gate to rush over quickly, and with the addition of this group of soldiers, the balance of victory gradually tilted towards Li Shimin's side.

After meeting with Li Shimin, Shi Danai knelt on the ground and clenched his fists at Li Shimin and said: "General Li, the end will be late, please forgive General Li." ”

At this moment, Li Shimin scolded angrily: "Shi Danai, you bastard, what is the task I gave you before the attack? ”

"Cooperate with General Chu to take the East City Gate, and then hold on to wait for reinforcements in case the Western Qin soldiers on the south bank of Weishui cross the river to attack. Shi Danai replied without thinking.

"Then why did you lead the troops here?

"Qiqi General Li, the reinforcements of the imperial court are defending at the East City Gate at the moment, and General Li Xiuning and General Chai Shao are not far behind the last general. After speaking, he pointed behind him, "Look, the two of them are here with their men." ”

I saw a group of women in red clothes riding red horses in the distance, surrounded by a heroic woman running towards Li Shimin, and when she came to the front, the woman hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and shouted to Li Shimin: "Second brother, little sister is late." ”

Seeing his sister leading the troops coming, Li Shimin nodded, turned to look at Chu Mofeng and said, "Let's go, rush into the camp and cut down Xue Rengao's beast." ”

Chu Mofeng nodded, and as Li Shimin moved towards the camp, the rest of the people led their troops to accompany them when they saw this, and for a while, there was another shout of killing on the battlefield.

When Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng rushed into Xue Rengao's tent, they found that the tent was already empty, and they caught a Western Qin soldier to know that as early as halfway through the battle, Xue Rengao crossed south by boat from the Weishui River behind the camp under the cover of his own soldiers, and fled back to Longyou with the remaining Western Qin soldiers.

Li Shimin scolded a few words angrily when he heard this, and then rushed out of the big tent with Chu Mofeng, at this moment, as time passed, when the last Western Qin soldier fell to the ground, only the soldiers of the Great Sui were still standing firmly on the battlefield.

Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng walked out of the camp and came to the battlefield, looking at the corpses all over the ground, their faces were red and blue. There is no joy of victory. Blood stained the entire earth, and most of the corpses had hideous faces, and some even had blood flowing from the corners of their mouths. Many corpses were intertwined with each other, and some even died in their arms with the enemy, unable to separate no matter what!

Chu Mofeng looked up at the sun shining on the red land with a blue face, and he couldn't open his eyes.

Pity the bones by the Luding River, like a person in a spring boudoir dream. I don't know how many families have lost their husbands, how many families have lost their sons and fathers.

At this time, the four leaders of the Tiance Army came to Chu Mofeng, and knelt down in front of Chu Mofeng without saying a word, only to see the leader of the Wolf Tooth Team crying and saying: "General Chu, your subordinates are useless, they failed to protect the lives of their brothers, you can punish us." ”

Looking at the four team leaders with injuries in front of him, Chu Mofeng said in a deep voice: "Let's report the remaining number of people in each team." ”

"There are four people left in the Wolf Fang team, three people left in the pike, three people left in the crossbow team, and two people left in the bow team. With this tragic number in his ears, Chu Mofeng knew that two hundred and eighty-eight people had died in the three hundred Tiance army that followed him on this expedition, and he recalled the three hundred arms raised high before the expedition, and tears welled up in his eyes.

I saw Chu Mofeng bowing three times in succession to the only twelve Tiance troops on the battlefield and said: "You didn't disgrace the Tiance Army in this battle, I said before the expedition, whoever dies I will prepare a good Liuzhou coffin for him, and my family will be supported by me, you twelve people are witnesses to everyone, I Chu Mofeng will do what I say." ”

I saw the leader of the archery team stand up and say to Chu Mofeng: "General Chu, we have said since the day we followed you that the direction of your and General Li's sword is the direction we are heading, no matter how dangerous the front is, the Tiance Army will definitely not hesitate." ”

At this time, Li Shimin stepped forward and said: "Don't worry, after returning to Beijing, I will propose to my father to find a piece of feng shui treasure land outside Daxing City and build a big cemetery for the soldiers who died, and I want future generations to know that these people are sacrificed for the happiness and stability of the people in the world." After speaking, he bowed three times to the soldiers on the field.

Li Xiuning on the side was already crying at the moment, and Chai Shao, who came to hear the news, couldn't stop comforting her, at this moment Liu Hongji, Shi Danai and others also came here, Li Shimin stood on the grain stack in the camp and said loudly to everyone on the field: "Ladies and gentlemen, this time we have already won, but this victory is won by the efforts and sacrifices of countless people, I hereby assure you, once the cemetery is completed, The bones of all the fallen soldiers will be buried there, and all the due pensions will definitely be distributed by the imperial court on time and in full, and the heroic souls will not be extinguished and will last forever. ”

As soon as Li Shimin's voice fell, the battlefield resounded with the slogan of 'the heroic soul is immortal, and the eternal will last', Li Shimin shouted when he saw this: "All departments clean up the battlefield, collect the bodies of the victims, and we are ready to go home." ”

After a day of repair, Li Shimin led the rest of the army under his command to return to Daxing, because this time he carried the remains of the dead soldiers, in order to be able to bury the whole army as soon as possible It took only two days to arrive at Jinguangmen.

At this moment, outside the Jinguang Gate, Li Yuan led a group of ministers to stand outside the Jinguang Gate and waited, and saw a long line coming towards the Jinguang Gate from a distance, Li Yuan hurriedly greeted him when he saw this, only to see Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng urging forward, and said expressionlessly: "Report to the Prime Minister, all the soldiers who went out to fight have returned." ”

Li Yuan looked at the scarred soldiers and the long convoy behind the two, and suddenly understood why the two of them looked so lonely, and hurriedly said: "It's good to come back, as for the compensation or something, the old man will definitely fight for it with all his might, and he will not let the dead soldiers feel cold." ”

At this moment, Chu Mofeng and Li Shimin turned over and dismounted, knelt down in front of Li Yuan and said, "Prime Minister, we want to choose a piece of feng shui treasure land outside the city to build a cemetery to bury the remains of the fallen soldiers. ”

Li Yuan was about to speak, when a very discordant voice suddenly came from behind him and said, "General Li and General Chu, you two are surprised by this, what are you doing to build this Laoshizi Cemetery?"

When everyone heard this, they all looked sideways, only to see that the person who spoke was the newly promoted Yinqing Guanglu doctor Zhang Hengyou, and all the generals present looked at each other angrily when they heard this, only to see Chu Mofeng stand up and say coldly: "This official is here to report to the prime minister, what are you talking about? Do you think you are tired of being crooked?"

I saw Yinqing Guanglu doctor Zhang Hengyou pointing to Chu Mofeng's nose and said: "The surname is Chu, we are at the same level in terms of rank, but I am a civil official, you are a martial artist to speak politely." ”

As soon as the words fell, I only heard Li Yuan smile and said: "Doctor Zhang's words are quite inappropriate, General Chu has been awarded the title of General Pingxi by His Majesty a few days ago, and he is a third grade, so you are half a level lower than General Chu in terms of rank." ”

Doctor Zhang Hengyou of Yinqing Guanglu asked in surprise when he heard this: "How can he be a martial artist? How did he do it General Pingxi? Isn't it the Prime Minister who deceived the lower officials? We all know that the two people who went on this expedition, one is your son, and the other is your son-in-law. ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard a majestic voice behind me: "Zhang Hengyou, which minister I want to enter the seal, it is up to you to decide whether or not?"

Zhang Hengyou looked back when he heard this, and saw Emperor Yang Yu of Sui Gong walking slowly under the escort of Wang De and a group of attendants, and everyone hurriedly knelt down and said: "The ministers see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live." ”

"All the Secretaries are flat"

"Your Majesty Xie" Everyone then hurriedly got up, bowed over and wanted to hear what Yang Yu would do, only to see Yang Yu walk up to Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng and say with a smile: "The two generals have made meritorious contributions to Xue Shun this time, and I have thanked the two and all the soldiers on behalf of the people of the world, it is with your dedication that the people of Dasui can have a peaceful and stable life." ”

"As for the matter of the cemetery mentioned by Li Qing's family, in fact, Chu Qing's family had already mentioned this matter to me earlier, and I had already arranged for someone to deal with it, I originally wanted to surprise you, but who knew that there was such an eye-opening thing, which chilled the hearts of all the soldiers. After speaking, he coldly glanced at Zhang Hengyou, who was kneeling on the ground, pointed at him and said sharply: "Come on, remove this fang's official uniform, remove all official positions, and never be hired." ”

At this time, Zhang Hengyou, who was sitting on the ground, heard the words and hurriedly hugged Yang Yu's thigh and shouted: "Your Majesty, the minister knows that it is wrong, please forgive the minister, the minister knows that it is wrong." After speaking, he couldn't stop kowtowing to Yang Yu.

Seeing this, Yang Yu kicked Zhang Hengyou away, and said coldly: "How could I be dizzy and let you be this Yinqing Guanglu doctor, hurry up and pull him down, I don't want to see him again." ”

As soon as the words fell, several soldiers stepped forward, took off their hats and undressed, and dragged Zhang Hengyou away from the scene like a dead dog, and a miserable cry for mercy accompanied Zhang Hengyou's figure gradually disappeared.

The rest of the ministers present except for Chu Li Yuan all had a feeling of sadness for the death of a rabbit and a fox, thinking that if you provoke Li Yuan this year, don't mess with those two masters, don't you see that Your Majesty loves them very much?

But after thinking about it again, this matter is purely deserved by the idiot of Zhang Hengyou, His Majesty can become a great treasure, and it is not achieved by relying on the support of Li Yuan's family, this time the army defeated the class division and returned to the dynasty, I don't know how to say a few beautiful words, and even prevent those two from building a cemetery, if these soldiers in the camp know, they must not gnaw him alive.

Thinking that everyone opened their mouths to compliment Emperor Gong of Sui for his wisdom, Yang Yu smiled and said to Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng: "Let's go, go to the cemetery with me, and we will bury the dead soldiers together." ”

Located at the intersection of Jingshui and Weishui in the north of Daxing City, a brand-new cemetery is quietly located here, everyone came here with Yang Yu, only to see Yang Yu pointing to the cemetery and saying to Chu Mofeng: "I don't know if Aiqing is satisfied with this scale? If you need to expand in the future, you can expand on the east and west sides." ”

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng knelt down to Emperor Sui Gong with emotion and said: "Your Majesty's great kindness and great virtue ministers are unforgettable, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live." All the generals and soldiers present knelt down and shouted, "Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

Seeing this, Yang Yu waved his hand and said: "All the soldiers are injured, hurry up." ”

After everyone got up, Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng glanced at each other, turned to Yang Yu and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers will start the burial ceremony here." After speaking, he motioned to the accompanying soldiers to place the remains of the fallen soldiers one by one, and then signaled the craftsmen to start engraving the list of the dead, after doing all this, Chu Mofeng stood on a high platform and said to the soldiers present: "Everyone, today we have placed the remains of our fallen comrades here, maybe in the near future, you, me and even everyone may become a member here, as a soldier, from the moment you wear armor and go to the battlefield, you must be ready to spill blood." ”

At this time, Yang Yu stepped forward and motioned for Chu Mofeng to come down, and he stood up with the support of a group of attendants, and said to the people in the cemetery: "Soldiers, I am deeply gratified today, it is precisely because of your existence that I can sit in the palace peacefully, what I want to say is that even though the Central Plains is in war at the moment, my soldiers are always with me!"

Yang Yu's words instantly ignited the passion of the soldiers present, yes, in the past, it was said that good men should not be soldiers, but now? His Majesty the Emperor personally supervised the construction of the cemetery, and for this matter, he took the official position of Doctor Yinqing Guanglu on the spot, which was something that could not be imagined before.

Thinking of this, everyone shouted in unison, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live", Yang Yu waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said slowly: "Actually, this proposal to build a cemetery is your General Chu, since the ceremony is over, it is inconvenient for me to stay for a long time." After speaking, he turned to Li Yuan and said: "Li Qing's family, the imperial court thanks you for giving birth to a good son and recruiting a good son-in-law. ”

After finishing speaking, Yang Yu turned around and left the cemetery under the escort of Wang De and a group of attendants, looking at Yang Yu's distant figure, Chu Mofeng said slowly: "This cemetery is called Valhalla!"

Li Shimin nodded and said to the soldiers present: "All departments are now returning to the camp for repairs, counting the damage of each department, and quickly reporting it to me." ”

As soon as the words fell, all the soldiers bowed to the tombstone in the cemetery together, turned around and left the cemetery.

When the entourage saw that His Majesty the Emperor had left, they also found an excuse to leave the cemetery. Seeing this, Chu Mofeng arched his hand to Li Shimin and Li Yuan and said, "Father-in-law, my son-in-law needs to go back to the house this time, if there is anything, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”

Looking at the shocking scratches on Chu Mofeng's armor, Li Yuan nodded and said, "I've worked hard for you this time, hurry back to the house and rest, for your sake, Feng'er has run to her mother's house." ”

Chu Mofeng nodded, walked straight out of Valhalla, turned over and ran towards Yiningfang, Li Shimin and Li Yuan behind him looked at each other and smiled, and then left here......

There is a way that the general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years, although the army returned to Beijing with a tragic victory, but Xue Rengao of Longyou was officially frightened by this battle, which also brought everyone a little stable days, and watched Chu Mofeng punish bullies in the city, Li Shimin Jingzhao Yin Mansion was promoted to ask the case, I want to know what happened next, and listen to the next decomposition......
