Tian Sidao was already bleeding profusely from the arrow in his body, and he was frightened at this moment. How could he withstand Luo Erhu, a black man's powerful attack?
In just a few breaths, everyone saw Luo Erhu grabbing Tian Sidao's messy bun with one hand, slashing off the bloody head with a knife, and without looking, he threw it into the air, and a "Gudong" was sprayed on his neck. A column of blood rose up, leaving Tian Sidao's body twitching strangely on the ground.
"Shangzhu Kingdom is dead!" I don't know who was the first to shout in fear, and then the surrounding barbarian soldiers seemed to be frightened, and immediately dispersed and fled in all directions. The soldiers of the Tang Army also obeyed Li Yuan's military order. They all shouted and started to chase them.
Hearing the fierce sounds of fighting and screams ringing in his ears, Peng Shiyu regained his clarity, stared at Tian Sidao's unblinking face not far away, and took a deep breath. Then he turned his head and saw the little girl Peng Qingying next to him, tightly covering the terrible scar on her wrist. Tears welled up at this moment. She lowered her head in shame, gritted her teeth and whispered: "Qingying, big brother just--"
This was the first time that Peng Shiyu felt ashamed in front of his little sister. As far as the tenacity of his mind was concerned, he felt that the young master of Xizhou who came from a heroic family was far inferior to the nineteen-year-old woman in front of him.
Peng Qingying endured the pain and turned into a smile. She stretched out her hand to gently pat her brother's back, and said firmly and softly: "Brother, don't blame yourself, as long as you live, it will be fine! Since God's will makes us immortal, we still hope that we will not die." You must cheer up! Now the evil thief has been killed..."
At this point, Peng Qingying's eyes couldn't help but turn to the shining golden armor. At the moment of life and death, the tall figure descending from the sky made the girl's heart surge, and her eyes rekindled expectations. .
But the chaotic sounds in the mountains and forests gradually faded away. After a while, Luo Erhu, covered in blood, rushed to Li Yuan with several lieutenants, and replied with a naive smile: "Report to the commander, all the enemy soldiers have been killed! "
Scanning the surrounding area covered with blood and corpses, Li Yuan nodded lightly, waved to the generals and said, "The situation in the mountains and forests at night is complicated. Order the entire army to clean up the battlefield quickly and send out scouts to alert!"
After the generals were ordered to leave, Li Yuan led several soldiers and quickly rushed to Peng Shiyu, and asked in a deep and concerned voice: "Has Brother Peng been injured?"
Then he saw the messy girl next to Peng Shiyu, staring at him slightly shyly. Li Yuan couldn't think too much, chuckled and said casually: "Brother Peng, this is your lady! Well, young Beautiful, Brother Peng is so lucky——"
"I'm not..." Peng Qingying interrupted directly, stood up with gritted teeth, her face was slightly rosy, she suddenly lowered her head and ran past Li Yuan, quickly found the silver hair tie, and then gently carried it on her back. He turned around and quietly gathered his messy hair.
Peng Shiyu was just about to stand up and say thank you, but he was stunned for a moment when he saw this. He quickly raised his hands and said sincerely, "Commander, don't blame me! This is my sister-in-law Qingying, who has never behaved well! I will thank Marshal Li for saving his life!"
Peng Qingying's outstanding figure and appearance broke Li Yuan's original understanding of the Dongxi barbarians. At this time, he was squinting curiously. After hearing this, he came back to his senses, smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly Turning his eyes to Peng Shiyu, he nodded and said: "Brother Peng, there is no need to be polite between you and me. It is a coincidence that I can save you this time! It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Hurry up and get on your horse with your sister. We will return to Langzhou City later." explain!"
Peng Shiyu choked with sobs and nodded repeatedly, feeling a mixture of excitement and emotion in his heart. He quickly cheered up without any hesitation, gathered the dozens of surviving guards, and then got on the horse with Peng Qingying in his arms.
Dusk is closing, the mountains and fields are silent, and the battle here has long come to an end. After the war, it does not mean that you can just leave. During this attack along the way, the soldiers of the Tang Army had no time to rest. They cleaned the battlefield, counted the casualties, treated the wounded, and handed over supplies. Actions such as this were being carried out nervously and quickly under the moonlight. What he smelled in his nose was always the familiar but nauseating smell of blood.
Not long after, hundreds of corpses of barbarian soldiers in the valley lined up along the edge of the hillside. The soldiers of the Tang army piled a large amount of hay and trees and began to set fire to them. The centralized cremation method was more labor-saving and faster than digging pits and burying them.
Looking at the blazing fire, and then the thick black smoke rising straight into the sky, and the creaking sound of the burning corpse, Li Yuan, with eyes like torches, stood astride the horse, raised his hand and shouted: "The whole army obeys the order, protect Peng Jishi back to Langzhou." city!"
Along the way, Li Yuan told Peng Shiyu why he arrived in time. Two days ago, Li Yuan decided to send an envoy to Xizhou again, and personally led the light cavalry to accompany him. Because he did not know what changes had happened in Xizhou and needed to hide the tracks of his troops and horses, he did not dare to rush there by the main road, so he decided to continue the western expedition along the upper road. The mountain trails that I walked on.
Traveling along the mountains and forests for hundreds of miles, until tonight the scouts reported that they saw a large fire among the rocks on the mountainside. Li Yuan led the soldiers to dismount and ambush, and then they saw Peng Shiyu being surrounded. The key point The arrow was released at the right moment and saved the lives of the two brothers and sister.
The moonlight was soft and soft, and Peng Shiyu, who was holding the reins, bowed slightly on his horse and said solemnly: "Commander, you saved these two lives of my brother and sister. From now on, I will wait for life or death according to the command of the commander." No matter what, no matter what!"
Li Yuan, who was walking beside him, didn't say much. He gently raised his right hand and punched his chest three times with a serious expression, and then smiled heartily at Peng Shiyu. Perhaps the words did not convey what he meant. The former young master of Xizhou was so overwhelmed that it was difficult to express in words. He could only pause his head repeatedly, with deep gratitude in his eyes.
At this time, Peng Qingying was hugging Peng Shiyu tightly in front of her. Suddenly she noticed that her brother's body and her own arms were starting to tremble. She couldn't help but asked quietly: "Brother, isn't this Marshal Li from the Tang Dynasty? How can he understand me, Dongxi?" Oath..."
Peng Shiyu took a deep breath of the cool air in the forest and replied in a low voice: "It's a long story! Not only did Marshal Li swear an oath with me, but he and A Gao were also old acquaintances. We felt like old friends at first sight in the Tang Dynasty! Qingying, you should believe this time Right? I have told you before that Marshal Li is different from those generals from the south of the Yangtze River in the past. He is not only wise and courageous, but also extremely loyal. How could your eldest and second brothers misjudge..."
"Well..." Peng Qingying, who had experienced many days of hardships, seemed a little tired. She just responded softly, closed her eyes and leaned on her brother's thick back, listening carefully to the still strong heartbeat. , letting the thoughts in his mind fly wildly.
A moment later, I heard Peng Shiyu's calm voice accompanied by the ups and downs of his heartbeat: "Qingying, I need to remember Marshal Li's great kindness for the rest of my life! And right now, only Marshal Li can help our brothers and sisters get revenge. You must..." .....”
