On the evening of the 23rd, the setting sun was like blood.
The main battle outside Peishi City has ended, but there are still large and small broken Xiliang troops throughout Dingxi County. Some even numbered nearly a thousand people.
The generals continued to lead their troops in pursuit, and the battle sounded from time to time.
It's just that the people of Xiliang have already been scared out of their wits. No matter how many people there are or how few, they all just focus on running away and have no intention of resisting at all.
Even the people who were transporting food from Laigu County encountered a group of Xiliang people who were running around without distinction.
"Fuck, it's a Xiliang dog!"
Many of them had fought with Ren Ning in the trapped dragon's nest, and they quickly recognized their identities.
"what should we do?"
"What should I do? If I meet them, I'll beat them up. Brothers, come with me and kill them!"
Seeing that the opponent was unarmed and even running disheveled and panic-stricken, Niu Shusheng's wife and others pounced on them unceremoniously, beating them to death in an instant.
"Take it easy, if you hit them again they will die!"
"I just want to beat them to death! Do they want to eat our food and trample on our land?"
"That's right. Look around at the land. It's like this because of these bastards."
Land has always been the hatred of Yunchui people.
Everyone looked around and saw that the land in front of them was hardened due to long periods of inactivity. You can even see one or two unburied skeletons from time to time.
They suddenly became furious, cursing and beating, and the guys in their hands became heavier and heavier.
The Xiliang soldiers who were beaten not long after turned their eyes white and became silent.
west side,
Tieguai Li drank some porridge and rice in a hurry, and silently embarked on the road back to Xiaotian Garden, carrying the tattered one-eyed dragon on his back.
Among the veterans who came out of various cemeteries to guard the tombs, only a few are still alive.
The one-eyed dragon wielding a machete with great force could not hold on. On the contrary, Tieguai Li, who was missing a leg and had difficulty moving, was lucky enough to still stand.
His iron crutch was also chopped into pieces, so he had to use a spear cut into two pieces to carry it forward.
"I'm talking about the one-eyed dragon," Li Tieguai taunted as he walked, "You old boy keeps shouting that you can lie down in the red coffin as long as you fall down."
Ha ha.
He laughed, "Don't even think about it now."
Now there are fallen Yunchui soldiers everywhere outside Peishi City, including those with the rank of thousand commanders, ten thousand captains and even generals.
No matter how many red coffins are stored in the fortress, they may not be able to reach the one-eyed dragon who has already retired to guard the tomb.
"Why did you leave so quickly? You old boy haven't drunk my granddaughter's wedding wine yet. Then I'll let you see if she is unparalleled in the world. See if I'm bragging..."
Mrs. Zhang's young apprentice happened to see this scene and ran over nervously.
He examined the cyclops once more and quickly gave up.
"Uncle Tieguai, there is so much blood on your body, are you injured anywhere?"
"No. I am very lucky!" Tieguai Li tried his best to support his old friend behind him, "This place is all other people's blood."
"Don't worry about us. Go back and help your master."
"Uncle, why don't you wait a few days? When General Huo returns to the fortress, we can go there together. There are still many Xiliang people around now."
Ha ha.
"Don't worry." Tieguai Li laughed, "You kid, just follow your master to save people. I'm much more proficient in fighting than you."
"Now that the people of Xiliang have been defeated, they are all scared out of their wits. If we really meet them on the road, do you believe that I can kill them with a cane?"
The young apprentice was noncommittal and tried to persuade him a few more times, but he still couldn't stop it.
He had no choice but to give up, grab a bowl of porridge and run to Madam Zhang.
"Master, you haven't slept for several days. Eat something and rest for a while."
"Let's put it aside for now. There are too many wounded people. We will wait until these few are rescued."
The young apprentice had no choice but to put the porridge aside and come over to help.
I don’t know how much time passed, but Mrs. Zhang looked through all the medicine bags around her and said, "The medicine is almost gone. Go to the logistics department and bring some over. I need everything."
"I know, I'll go right away."
The young apprentice responded, looked at the sky and Madam Zhang's red eyes, "Master, drink the porridge quickly."
"Yeah." After coming back to her senses, Mrs. Zhang realized that she was very hungry.
Ignoring the blood on her hands, she picked up the already cold porridge beside her and poured it directly into her mouth. She drank it down, drinking it cleanly in an instant.
"Master, I'll get you another bowl."
"I'm full." Mrs. Zhang glared at the young apprentice next to her, "Why don't you go get the medicine quickly?"
"Go right away, go right away..." The little apprentice couldn't help but want to get the bowl.
"Put it down, if you don't go get the medicine." Mrs. Zhang looked at the wounded lying all around, "Many of them will not be able to survive."
The young apprentice woke up from a dream and quickly ran to the rear.
Huo Ling led his guards around a few times and said, "There should be enough food. What about various medicines? How much do we have?"
"Back to the general, there are too many wounded, and there is not much medicine or bandages left. However, the brothers have sent cavalry to the counties east of Luoxia Mountain to collect supplies."
"Very good." Huo Ling nodded and warned, "Let them come back as soon as possible."
After speaking, he glanced at the rough casualty data in his hand and frowned deeply.
The greatest casualties in the battle were among Xia Bangwei's Dingxi garrison. More than 8,000 soldiers died, and almost all of the survivors were injured.
Next is Huo Li who is stationed east of the Benlu tribe.
In order to get back before the 19th day, he ran all the way with his troops regardless of the long distance and hot weather.
Among the 30,000 people, countless people fell on the road.
The third one was Kong Chunhui's Yingling Legion, which had insufficient strength and had to support the east and west sides separately. It also suffered heavy casualties.
Relatively speaking, the casualties among the soldiers of Yancheng Fortress were the lowest, but that was only relative. They also suffered heavy casualties.
The group returned to Peishi City.
Because Xia Bangwei was never around, his mansion had been demolished by Zhu Jialiang and turned into farmland.
The Sheriff's Mansion, which had only one room left, was now full of generals, including Tian Hongyan, who had arrived late.
On the contrary, the owner Zhu Jialiang is not here.
"Where's Mr. Zhu?"
"Back to the general, the county governor said that he knew nothing about military matters, so he would not participate. Now that the Xiliang people have been driven away, he has to reorganize the county offices in each county, and at the same time go out to open up land and dredge water sources. While the weather is still warm, Plant something quickly.”
Huo Ling nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
He looked up at the room full of generals who were still filled with murderous intent, and said in a deep voice: "Can you all know how to write? Write a battle report. Be more detailed."
After writing the battle report, they had to quickly collect the soldiers under their command and continue rushing to their combat posts.
"yes!"
The generals responded loudly and looked for places.
There were just too many people, and the simple county governor's mansion couldn't find enough tables and chairs for a while. Many generals had to squat on the ground or call their guards to bend over and use them as tables and chairs.
I don’t know whether it’s because the temporary “tables and chairs” are uneven or because they haven’t held a pen for a long time. Many people’s handwriting is incomprehensible.
Huo Ling didn't care and carefully put away every piece of information.
He had to summarize and write the final battle report, and then rush to Star City for 800 miles.
First latest.
