Liguo has suffered heavy losses in recent days. I heard that the old King of Qin from Yiguo has also arrived. The emperor of Liguo was defeated by the old King of Qin on the battlefield when he was young, so he decided to go on a personal expedition this time and cut off the old King of Qin's head with his own hands to boost morale.
Fortunately, Yi State and Yan State were well prepared and had many people and weapons, so they would not be too passive. After continuing to advance for a few days, Yi State has mobilized tens of thousands of horses and horses nearby to join them. Yan State's 50,000 soldiers and horses are also on the road. If they travel day and night, they will be able to catch up with them in a few days.
"Report!" A soldier suddenly came to report: "A large number of traces of fighting were found eastward on the official road ahead, and..." The soldier raised his head and looked at Yan Lie, and then said: "Moreover, there are many corpses. Judging from the clothes, they should be Yan Lie's. The soldiers of the country seem to have been there for some time."
Speaking of this, everyone's hearts were raised. According to the time calculation, it was probably Li Xiao's team. In order to prevent Yan Shu from seeing this scene, Yan Lie decided not to tell Yan Shu yet. He only said that he would explore the way ahead and let her wait where she was.
Yan Lie and Old King Qin were the first to step forward to check. The closer they got, the more nervous and uneasy they felt. Everyone knows the uniforms of Yan soldiers. As soon as I walked in, I saw corpses scattered everywhere, which showed the fierceness of the battle. There were not many people around Li Xiao at that time, and they might have all been wiped out here. If that were the case, Li Xiao might be in really bad luck.
"Who are in General Li's team? Come quickly and identify them." Yan Lie asked the soldiers behind him.
Immediately, several soldiers stood up and said, "His Royal Highness, we are General Li's soldiers and we know each other." Yan Lie nodded, and these soldiers quickly stepped forward to identify him. All the familiar faces are now unrecognizable, but they can still be recognized at a glance. With tears in their eyes, everyone just hoped that nothing would happen to the general!
While the soldiers in front identified the bodies, the soldiers behind them helped move the bodies into the newly dug pits. This is what happens when marching and fighting. Not everyone can return to their hometown. All our compatriots can do is help collect the corpses, bury them, and bury them in peace. With so many people together, I guess you won’t be lonely!
After all confirmations were completed, there were a total of 173 soldiers from the Yan Kingdom and nearly a thousand soldiers from the Li Kingdom.
"The disparity in military strength is so huge?" Yan Lie and Old King Qin couldn't believe it. No matter who encountered this situation, they probably wouldn't have a chance of winning!
"Is there General Li inside?" Old King Qin asked.
"No." Several soldiers shook their heads.
Yan Lie was worried and checked them again. "Could it be that Li Xiao was taken away by Li Guo people?"
"That's not necessarily the case. If Li Xiao was taken away by Li Guo, he should have gone to Yan Guo to negotiate terms." Old King Qin said.
"But there are no people alive, and no corpses after death. Where can he go?" Yan Lie asked.
"Let's search within ten miles around here first. If the person was okay at that time, he should have returned to Yan State as soon as possible. But if he didn't go back, he might have been injured, so he shouldn't be able to go far." Old King Qin analyzed.
Everyone immediately divided into several groups to carry out a blanket search. Yan Lie saw that there was a cliff further ahead, but there were no signs of fighting on the edge of the cliff. Just when he was wondering whether to exclude this place, the old King Qin also came over and looked at the cliff. The fog was so thick below that nothing could be seen. If Li Xiao really fell from the cliff, it would be difficult for him to survive.
