Volume 3 The Beginning of Sorrow Chapter 113 The two armies fought without a winner
The lime powder was light, and it rose in the wind and floated to the 20,000-strong army of Tajim.
When lime comes into contact with water, it heats up, which is nothing. However, once sucked into the mouth, it is hot enough to burn the throat, and if it accidentally falls into the eye, it can burn the eyeball for a short time. After burning down the Shatuo Grain Camp the night before, when he was about to replenish the grain for the first place, Mei Yuanchen found a lot of canned lime powder in the big bamboo house to remove the moisture in the house. What he saw in front of him suddenly remembered what Duanfuzi had taught, in addition to sanitizing the battlefield and eliminating the epidemic, lime powder also had a wonderful use for repelling the enemy, so he made the pawns pack bags and bring them with them.
The wind really helped Mei Yuanchen a lot, and at this time, the lime powder blew towards Tajimu. Everywhere the white ash went, there were wails one after another, and many people had been tricked and injured by them. The generals who were lucky enough not to be stained with lime powder had to cover their eyes and stop. Mei Yuanchen was about to lead the cavalry to rush up, but he heard the sound of "Ding, Ding, Ding!Ding!" from the military position in Shatuo's army. Although it was the first time he heard it, he also knew that it was the sound of Mingjin's withdrawal.
The Shatuo army has withdrawn!
As the soldiers all know, during the battle, the siege side will not occupy the territory, but the troops should be dispatched quickly, and strive to break through the momentum. Once the siege can not be carried out for a long time, it is not good to eliminate the other's strengths and advantages, and it is not appropriate to stalemate at this time, and when the troops are collected and reorganized, the opportunity to fight again. The reinforcements of Chihdan Suzhou had arrived, the enemy was not increasing, and knowing that it was impossible to do anything today, he ordered the army to withdraw and collect its troops, and changed from an offensive formation to a defensive position. This change of formation really worked well. After the Shatuo army gathered in one place, Zhuge Pingtai's heavy cavalry could not rush to kill, so he lost the advantage of combat, and had to chase a small group of outdated Shatuo troops in the back to slash and kill.
Xu Ding'an and Mei Siyuan's department understood, Mei Yuanchen's department understood, and Zhuge Pingtai's department also understood that they were here to defend the city and resist the enemy, not to lead troops to kill the enemy. Their ultimate goal is to drive this Shatuo army out of the borders, not to kill them all here. Everyone knows that "if you kill 1,000 enemies, you will lose 800 yourself." In order to kill all 200,000 enemy troops, how many generals will be needed to take their lives to resist them? Everyone has their own interests, and if they have no choice, no one will want to die. Therefore, after the Shatuo army withdrew, several armies did not catch up.
The crowd receded, leaving behind a blanket of desolation and untold stump remains. There were corpses all over the ground, and seeing that the horse had nowhere to land and it was difficult to travel, Mei Yuanchen decisively abandoned the horse on foot and rushed to Xu Ding'an's department at the city gate. He knew that Mei Siyuan must be here!
"Dad, you must be safe!" Mei Yuanchen prayed strongly in his heart.
The tragedy of Xiao Jinkou that night still stung Mei Yuanchen, so that even though he won, he didn't like it at all in his heart. At this time, the battlefield outside Suzhou City was far more tragic than that night, with human corpses and horse corpses stretching for several miles, and the bloody air came to the nose.
"Dad!Dad~~~" Mei Yuanchen walked all the way, shouting all the way. Suddenly, I felt that my ankle was being grasped tightly, and when I looked down, I saw a distorted, unwilling face and a pair of begging, frightened eyes, with blood on the face and face, one hand tightly grasped Mei Yuanchen's right foot, and the other hand only held the handle of the gun inserted in the chest. This is a young Shatuo soldier.
Although he couldn't bear it, Mei Yuanchen still threw him away with a kick and continued to look for his father in the sea of corpses.
"General Xu! General Xu!" A team of soldiers hurriedly rushed to a small corpse pile, picking up one corpse after another, looking for Xu Ding'an. Some of them remembered that Xu Ding'an had fallen in this position before.
"General Xu!" one soldier shouted. The soldiers on the side hurriedly came over and dug Xu Dingan out of the corpse. After killing Azig and being wounded by enemy soldiers, and when he saw that he was about to die in battle, a team of his own soldiers rushed to his side and protected Xu Ding'an in the middle.
Now, that team of soldiers has become this small corpse mountain, and he has finally been saved.
Mei Yuanchen followed this voice to distinguish the military armor of this bloody man, and heard everyone call him "General Xu", and it was known that he was Xu Ding'an, the general of the Anxian outpost. Hurriedly pushed away the soldiers on the side, took off Xu Dingan's armor, and lit several big points on his body to stop the bleeding. After grabbing his left hand, he infused an internal force into his body, and finally protected it near his heart vein. "General Xu was seriously injured and hurried back to bandage and put medicine. Mei Yuanchen said the soldier next to him. Riding lightly and traveling far away, it is not advisable to overload the load, because Mei Yuanchen did not wear the military armor of the commander at this time. However, when everyone saw him quickly rescue Xu Ding'an, they couldn't help but be very grateful in their hearts, and naturally followed what he said.
"Have you seen it, Master Mei Siyuan?" Mei Yuanchen had already gone out to find his father, but suddenly turned around and asked the guards by chance.
One of the soldiers took two steps forward and replied, "I just saw Master Mei." He was not lightly wounded, and it was a few of us who carried him into the city!"
Mei Yuanchen couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard that his father was still alive, and remembered that he was seriously injured, and he was very sad for a while, and asked urgently: "Do you know where he is at the moment?"
"Master Mei is the chief official here, and we carried him to the Chinese military camp. The soldier guessed that the young man in front of him might be Mei Siyuan's relative, so he paid more respect and bowed slightly.
"Thank you so much!" Mei Siyuan said this, and walked out of the "Douzhuan Diagonal Step Twenty-Three", rushing towards the city like a phantom, leaving behind a group of soldiers who were stunned.
Everyone knows that the war is fierce, and the battlefield is like hell on earth. But only those who experience it know what it feels like.
The defenders of Suzhou won, with one enemy and five, repelled the Shatuo army. However, of the more than 10,000 defenders who went out of the city to meet the enemy, less than 3,000 survived. Although these 3,000 people survived, all of them were wounded, and it is unknown how many of them will die from these wounds.
"Ah~~Ah~~Ah!!"
"Ahh
... ...
Along the way, all I heard was the cries of the wounded soldiers in extreme pain, which made Mei Yuanchen even more disturbed, and tears kept rolling in his eyes. Walking into the Chinese military tent, two doctors were bandaging Mei Siyuan. Mei Yuanchen clenched his fists and walked over quickly. Seeing several wounds on Mei Siyuan's body that were deep and visible to the bones and organs, he couldn't hold back anymore and let out a painful sound.
Crying loudly for a while, remembering the wound on his father's body, he hurriedly regained his senses, held his left hand, and luck roamed through Mei Siyuan's body to investigate his injury. "Fortunately, my father has internal strength to protect his body, and his blood and qi have not been exhausted and decayed, otherwise it would be true..." At that moment, he hurriedly increased his true qi strength, and urged out the blood and debris in Mei Siyuan's body.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the blood in Mei Siyuan's body had been removed, and the dirt that had soaked into the wound with the weapon had also been discharged. And Mei Yuanchen also left a few true qi in his heart and a few wounds, so as not to rot and not heal in the hot weather. Even with Mei Yuanchen's deep internal strength, he couldn't support it at this time, he only felt that his eyelids were heavy, and he slowly lost his consciousness.
