The horns buzzed, and the remaining Huns cavalry quickly turned their horses and ran away from the battlefield full of carnage and death.
Qian Xiaohao, who led 5,000 elite troops to pursue the Huns, saw that Zhan Mutie's 10,000 troops were quickly fleeing the battlefield, so he quickly turned his team around to intercept and kill the Huns cavalry who escaped from the front battlefield.
After this battle, the Huns cavalry led by Zhan Mutie lost more than 24,000 soldiers, while Zhou Yi's Wuwei Guards lost more than 3,000 soldiers.
Seeing that the brutal Huns were driven away, the little girl of seven or eight years old broke away from the care of the kind aunt and ran back alone while no one was paying attention.
The little girl knew that there was her dearest mother in front of her.
Even though there was blood and bodies everywhere in front of her, the little girl still suppressed the fear and fear in her heart and ran towards her mother while crying.
Although she tripped over the corpse several times while running, and the little girl fell and was covered in blood and mud, she still did not give up looking for her mother.
When a Wuwei Guard soldier who was cleaning the battlefield saw the little girl running forward, the soldier who was worried that she was scratched by weapons on the ground quickly picked her up.
The little girl's cries became louder. She kept kicking and shaking her hands and feet, trying to get away from the kind soldier.
Most of the soldiers of Zhouyi's Wuwei Guard were young men of fifteen or sixteen years old. How could these half-grown men know how to coax a child? The girl's loud cries instantly overwhelmed him.
At this time, the kind-hearted woman hurriedly ran over and said apologetically: "Master, please don't blame the dolls. It's only because I didn't keep an eye on this little girl that they let them hinder you!"
"Xiao Ni's mother was killed by the Hun thieves not long ago and she is homeless. If you want to punish me, Master, just punish me!"
The soldier holding the little girl quickly said: "What are you talking about? How can we punish you? It's just that the ground is full of knives. What if this little girl is injured!"
The soldier hurriedly carried the little girl back to the kind-hearted woman, but she still kept crying, asking for her mother!
At this time, a huge shadow covered the woman and the soldier. When they looked back, they saw it was Zhou Yi riding a tall horse.
The soldier called out to the commander and was about to clasp his fists in salute, but was stopped by Zhou Yi with a wave of his hand.
The kind-hearted woman holding the baby girl heard the soldier calling Zhou Yi "Commander". When she knew that the person in front of her was a high official, she was just about to salute when she was forcefully helped up by Zhou Yi who jumped off his horse.
"No need to be so polite!"
The girl in the kind-hearted woman's arms began to cry less and less loudly, but she was still crying and mumbling: "Mother~"
"Mother~"
"I want my mother~"
Zhou Yi recognized the little girl in front of him as the little girl he had seen through the telescope before.
Zhou Yi walked up to the little girl, gently wiped away the tears on the little girl's face with his delicate palms, and said softly: "Little girl, what is your name?"
The little girl just lowered her head and still whispered "Mother" in a low voice, with tears still flowing from the corners of her eyes.
"Tell big brother, big brother will take you to find your mother, okay?"
Hearing Zhou Yi promised to take her to find her mother, the little girl raised her head slightly and whispered to Zhou Yi: "Xiao... Xiaocao!"
"Mom, call me Xiaocao!"
When she mentioned her mother, the tears in Xiaocao's eyes couldn't stop flowing.
Zhou Yi carried the little girl onto the horse, got on it himself, and said, "Xiao Cao, I'll take you to find your mother!"
After that, he slowly rode towards the place where Xiaocao's mother fell.
The kind-hearted woman didn't know what to do for a moment, so she could only follow Zhou Yi who was walking slowly forward.
Zhou Yi walked all the way towards the place he saw in the telescope.
However, this is a battlefield after all. After being charged and killed by two parties, the corpses of the people who were tortured and killed may have been trampled into pulp.
When he walked near where his mother was shot, Xiaocao started to look around. There are also many Huns corpses here, which makes it even more difficult for the little girl to find her mother.
Suddenly Xiaocao pointed to a place on the ground in front of her to the right and shouted excitedly: "Mother, mother, it's mother~"
Zhou Yi looked forward and saw the little girl's mother lying not far from the ground.
Although Xiaocao's mother was indeed found, just as Zhou Yi imagined, Xiaocao's mother was also trampled by the horses during the battle.
The lower body of Xiaocao's mother's body had been trampled into pulp, but fortunately, the upper body of Xiaocao's mother could still be identified.
Even so, Xiaocao jumped off the horse without fear and rushed up to lie on her mother's body, constantly shaking her mother on the ground.
In Xiaocao's opinion, her mother was just asleep. As long as he shakes his mother naughtily, she will definitely be shaken awake by him.
Tears flashed in Zhou Yi's eyes when he saw this scene. He couldn't help but take off his red cloak, stepped forward and covered Xiaocao's mother.
Zhou Yi secretly swore in his heart: "In the future, I must not let the flames of war burn to the place I rule, and my people must not experience this kind of bereavement again!"
Zhou Yi said in a choked voice to the little girl next to him: "Good boy, your mother is asleep. She is too tired. Don't disturb her rest!"
After hearing this, Xiaocao obediently stopped shaking her mother.
But when Xiaocao saw Zhou Yi covering her mother with his red cloak and finally covering her head, the poor little girl finally stopped deceiving herself. She actually knew that her mother was dead. .
At this time, Xiaocao was extremely quiet, just staring at her mother on the ground in a daze.
Finally, Xiaocao couldn't hold it back anymore and threw herself directly into Zhou Yi's arms and started crying.
Crying, the little girl actually fell asleep in Zhou Yi's arms.
At this time, the kind-hearted woman walked to Zhou Yi. After the kind-hearted woman got up and saw this, she hurriedly walked towards Zhou Yi and took the little girl in Zhou Yi's arms.
"Take good care of her!" Zhou Yi said to the woman.
After Xiaocao was taken over by the kind-hearted woman, Zhou Yi was surprised to find that a group of people from Zitong County were walking towards him, and the distance between the two parties was only more than twenty steps.
Looking at the ordinary people with sallow faces and skinny faces and wounds on their bodies, Zhou Yi quickly gave a few orders to the soldiers around him: "Let's bury the Zitong people and soldiers who died, and then find military doctors to treat the injuries of these people."
Just as the soldier was about to deliver the order, Zhou Yi stopped him again and said: "These people are hungry, so tell the Huotou Army to start cooking rice immediately!"
