Chapter 278: Silent Night

King Zuo Xian ordered the horn of the withdrawal of the army, and the Hun soldiers at the head of the city began to retreat from the ladder when they heard the trumpet, while the sword and shield team below raised their shields and began to cover the gradual retreat of the soldiers. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Along the way, they also raised torches and lit the wooden siege engines left under the city.

When the Han army saw the Huns retreating, they all looked at each other, but they didn't expect that the whims of Gao Zhong would really have an effect on the Huns. "The Huns have retreated! The Huns have retreated!" I don't know which soldier shouted excitedly first. Immediately afterwards, the soldiers began to look seriously at the Hun soldiers under the city. Everyone let out a burst of jubilant shouts: "Dahan, Dahan, Dahan!Dahan!"

Gao Chong's originally tense face immediately relaxed, and he sat on the ground slumped, breathing in the air with a strong smell of blood, Wu Xu leaned up and asked, "General, are you pursuing?"

Gao Zhong closed his eyes and shook his head, "No need, King Zuo Xian set fire to their siege tools, and evacuated with the corpses, presumably they will not come again in a short time, they have been frightened in this battle, don't forget that their engineering vehicles were also burned under the city, so don't think about it, our city gate can't get out now." Captain Wu, treat the wounded soldiers immediately, there is no need to delay, there is no shortage of medicine in the city, act immediately, right, what about Shaoyuan?"

Wu Xu looked back and looked around, but there was no trace, "Did you see Lu Jianjun?"

"General, Captain, Lu Jian Jun is sleeping on the edge of the stairs," said a dirty little soldier who ran over and prayed.

Gao Pet laughed, "This kid has a really wide heart, after such a big battle, he can sleep upside down, which is also amazing"

Wu Xu whispered, "General, Shao Yuan may have lost his strength, and in the process of the war, he vaguely saw Shao Yuan's black and red knife qi, and I am afraid that the strength of the body will clash with each other, so that Shao Yuan will enter a rest, so as not to go mad."

Gao Zhong was very surprised, after all, he himself was selfless, and he didn't notice these things, "Shaoyuan's martial arts are a big progress?"

Wu Xu nodded, "This is very likely to be a breakthrough in martial arts."

Gao Pet stood up and said loudly, "If you are not injured, cook immediately, change your guard, and the injured will go to the edge of the well, and I will treat you one by one." Send all the sacrificed brothers to the camp, we will send them on their way tonight" At the end, Gao Zhong sighed a little, if the Huns disregarded the sacrifice and forcibly dragged them down, it would be really unimaginable.

The moonlight climbed up the bare treetops, the quiet Shule City looked a different kind of suppression, and Shaoyuan, who had slept for two hours, slowly woke up. The reason why I was able to wake up was purely because of the gluttony in my stomach. Shaoyuan subconsciously walked out, "Rice, why didn't anyone call me to eat"

But when he saw more than a hundred and nearly two hundred corpses lying neatly in the center, Shaoyuan was stunned immediately, and began to pull back all the memory fragments in his mind, recalling today's crazy massacre, recalling today's tragic defense, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and his chest was excited.

When a soldier saw Shaoyuan, he hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Lu Jianjun is awake, the general instructed, if the general is awake, go to the well to find him."

Shaoyuan didn't reply, he was hungry and panicked, he didn't have the strength to spare, so he nodded, "I know, you go down first" After that, Shaoyuan walked towards the well. Along the road, many soldiers were seriously injured and slightly injured, but fortunately they were bandaged and there was no major problem.

"Ah pet, why ?......" Shao Yuan walked to the edge of the pond and was about to ask what was going on with the corpse in the center of Gao Pet, but he saw Gao Pet sleeping on a recliner, looking quiet and tired. Suddenly, a palm pressed Shao Yuan's shoulder, Shao Yuan looked back, it was Wu Xu, "Shao Yuan, are you awake?"

"Brother Wu, why don't those comrades-in-arms be buried?" Shao Yuan asked puzzled

"It took some time to get the military cards on them, but, I didn't expect that the desperate family letter that the general originally planned to write because of the water cut off actually came in handy, and I just compared them with their ......military cards one by one," the iron man Ru Wu Xu said here, and actually left tears "They are all iron-blooded men of the Han Dynasty, and they are not in vain in this life, and we are not in vain."

"Brother Wu, then what are you doing here, wake up Ah Pet?" asked Shaoyuan

"That's right, it's ready, it's time for this master to complete the final one" Wu Xu nodded, walked up, and shook Gao Zhong awake "General, it's ready"

Rarely, Gao Pet didn't wake up immediately, it seemed that he was intoxicated in some dream, Wu Xu shook it for the second time, and Gao Pet woke up in a daze, "Don't, don't go!"

Wu Xu called out for the third time, "General, General"

Hearing Wu Xu shouting at the general, Gao Chong was suddenly pulled out of his dream as if he had suddenly returned to his soul, "This is, oh, Brother Wu"

Wu Xu smiled and said, "General, everything is ready, just waiting for you"

Gao Zhong took a deep breath, "Okay, where is Shaoyuan?"

Shaoyuan jumped in front of Gao Pet, "I woke up early, but I'm a little hungry"

Gao Pet stood up, "Don't shout hungry, let's eat later, now send our comrades to the last part of the road, Captain Wu, ring the bell to assemble, you can not defend the city first, now the Huns should not have the courage to attack"

The bell rang all over the city of Shule, lingering in the empty mountainside, all the soldiers of the Longxiang Guard heard the bell, and gathered in the city, no need for orders, all the soldiers stood in a neat phalanx, all the soldiers who could pick up weapons raised their weapons, and those who could not pick up weapons due to injuries all stood upright.

Gao Zhong held a torch and silently lit a fire around the huge fire well, and then said slowly, "Rest in peace, comrades-in-arms, I feel your ambition, and your unfinished tasks will be completed by us." Long Xiangwei, Ascension to Heaven"

After the cremation, the gang leaders began to make a fire to cook, everyone was very hungry, and without saying anything, they just ate directly, they knew that now they are not in the mood to eat, and it is true that they are not in the mood, but it is false that they can't eat. Gao Pet said to them, "Only when you are full can you live, and only when you live can you be worthy of these dead comrades-in-arms", so everyone just eats silently, they want to live, and their comrades-in-arms sacrifice in order to keep them alive, so they have to continue to live with their comrades-in-arms.

Shaoyuan picked up the rice and came to the edge of the city, although the moonlight was not beautiful, but he still wanted to watch the moonlight to eat, which could be regarded as a way to regulate his mood. And at the head of the city, there was another man.

"Ah pet, you came faster than me" Shaoyuan sat next to Gao Pet

Gao Pet just smiled slightly, "Eat to the moon, just have fun in the bitterness"

Shaoyuan remembered that Gao Pet rarely couldn't sleep today, so he asked with interest, "Ah Pet, did you dream of something today? Why can't you sleep for a long time?"

Gao Pet was originally drinking porridge, but then he was stunned, a breeze passed by, Gao Pet looked up at the crescent moon, and said inexplicably, "This is my fate"

Shaoyuan listened inexplicably, but he was too hungry, and he was not in the mood to care what Gao Pet said, so he ate by himself.
