Seeing that the Huns had no intention of pursuing them, Li Guang led the Shenwu Army back into the city.
After returning to the safe city again, all the Shenwu Army soldiers felt like they were reincarnated. It was too dangerous just now. If the Huns persisted for a few hours, they would all be annihilated.
"Your Majesty, more than half of the three thousand soldiers were killed or injured, and it's all the fault of Long Xiao alone. Long Xiao is guilty, please handle it, Your Majesty!"
When he saw Liu Deng, Long Xiao quickly got off his horse and knelt on the ground to apologize.
From the battle last night to this time, the number of three thousand cavalry was less than one thousand and five.
Such a huge injury really made Long Xiao very sad.
As the cavalry commander, he has an unshirkable responsibility.
"You are indeed guilty. I handed over three thousand soldiers to you, and you actually took them to extract the teeth from the tiger's mouth? Have you never thought about what would happen if you were defeated?"
Liu Deng's expression was ugly. Seeing that Liu Deng was getting more and more serious, Li Guang hurried over to plead for mercy.
In any case, although the cavalry under Long Xiao's command suffered heavy casualties tonight, their results were equally brilliant.
They pinned down a large number of Huns' cavalry in front, and then asked Wang Chong and others to lead their troops into the Huns' rear camp, burning the siege equipment they had just built once again.
Moreover, the number of Huns who were killed and injured tonight definitely exceeded 30,000!
This is already a rare victory for the Han army. Although Long Xiao is guilty, if his offensive merits are indeed offset, this guy should still have a lot of credit left.
"Your Majesty, although this boy is reckless, he did a good job tonight. He led the cavalry in and out of the Huns' camp. This is a feat that has never been done since the founding of the Han Dynasty. Your Majesty, please give him a gentle punishment. …”
"General Li, do you also think this boy has merit?"
Liu Deng suddenly looked at Li Guang again with a calm expression. Li Guang suddenly felt his scalp numb. The king seemed really a little angry today.
"Big, big king..."
Li Guang's voice was trembling a little, and Long Xiao felt his scalp numb. Could it be that Liu Deng wanted to kill him?
"Yes, you did kill a lot of Huns tonight, and you defeated the Huns to a great extent. But have you ever thought about it? Because of your unauthorized decision, I have to take the risk of sending out the Shenwu Army. If this happens If the entire 10,000-strong Shenwu Army is wiped out, can you afford the consequences?"
When Liu Deng said this, his voice involuntarily rose a few degrees, and Long Xiao's throat suddenly moved up and down.
"Long Xiao is guilty, please punish him!"
"Okay! Come here, drag me out and chop him!"
Long Xiao's sneak attack this time directly put Liu Deng into a huge passive situation. No matter what the result was, this trend must not be encouraged, so he attacked extremely hard this time.
However, as soon as Liu Deng's punishment came out, Long Xiao was dumbfounded. Originally, in his opinion, this time it would only be dozens of military sticks at most, but how could this directly turn into beheading!
"Your Majesty, please forgive this boy for the sake of his risking his own life this time!"
Li Guang was also stunned and hurriedly came up to plead for mercy.
"Your Majesty, although this boy has some past experiences, he still has military exploits! Please, Your Majesty, give him a lighter sentence!"
Han Lei was also dumbfounded and hurriedly came up to plead for mercy.
"Your Majesty, now that the Huns are still there, it is the time for our army to employ men. Please spare his life and allow him to perform meritorious service for his crime!"
Wang Ziyun also hurriedly came forward to intercede.
Seeing everyone come up to plead for mercy, Liu Deng's face looked much better. After all, he didn't really want to kill him, but more wanted to scare him.
Seeing Long Xiao's face covered in cold sweat, Liu Deng felt quite angry.
"For the sake of all the soldiers interceding for you, I will spare your life today. However, the death penalty can be avoided and the living penalty cannot be spared. I think you are injured. After you recover, I will go and get one hundred military sticks." ! If there is a next time, I will kill you without mercy!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me!"
Long Xiao was really frightened this time. Being beheaded in front of the army was different from dying in battle. If you were beheaded in front of the battle, you would be deprived of all your family background.
Then all the efforts he had made over the past few years were in vain, and even his family would be implicated and looked down upon for the rest of their lives.
After dealing with Long Xiao, Liu Deng finally saw Wang Chong.
Wang Chong also saw Liu Deng. After seeing the scene just now, Wang Chong was really shocked by Liu Deng.
I had known for a long time that Liu Deng was young, but I didn't expect that he was so young. What I didn't expect was that Liu Deng would kill so decisively.
He had never expected that he could remain so calm after just experiencing such a big victory.
If it were Wang Chong who had won such a big victory, he would probably start celebrating right now.
There is no need to hold anyone accountable. Anyway, killing so many Huns is already a rare victory. As for other things, is it important?
"Wang Chong has met His Highness the King of Dai!"
After taking a deep breath, Wang Chong took the lead in reaching out to Liu Deng. In any case, although it was their first contact, Liu Deng left a good impression on him.
"Liu cannot bear this gift from the general!"
What surprised Wang Chong was that Liu Deng actually returned the gesture with his hand.
"What do you mean, Your Highness?"
Wang Chong's face looked a little unhappy, and the lieutenants around him also looked ugly. Could it be that Liu Deng looked down on them?
Or don’t want to have any contact with them?
"General, don't get me wrong. Liu Deng has no disrespect for you. You are all good sons and daughters of our Han family. Although you do not belong to the Han Dynasty, your actions over the years deserve the title of hero. I am worthy of the title of hero." The king asked himself, “I can’t bear your courtesy!”
Liu Deng straightened his clothes and said seriously.
"Your Highness, you mean that you don't regard us as remnants of the previous dynasty?"
Wang Chong gritted his teeth and then said.
"You all underestimate the magnanimity of my Liu family. Why didn't Gaozu go south to Lingnan when he had a powerful army? Isn't it because he didn't want to fight with his brothers? Do you think that no one suggested to Gaozu to eradicate South Vietnam? "
After Liu Deng finished speaking, Wang Chong's expression suddenly became uncertain.
What Liu Deng said was indeed the truth, but it did sound a little harsh to their ears.
After all, the mighty soldiers of the world who had pacified the Six Kingdoms could only shrink to a corner now, and they were even more miserable, with less than two thousand people left...
The vicissitudes of life, fate plays tricks on people, and when it comes to this...
