"Wen Tai, what should we do now! We have even lost the army. We won't be misunderstood by others that we escaped from the battle!" Chi Jingde asked worriedly.

After being reminded by his friend, Shi Wentai felt that it was not impossible.

Although he and Chi Jingde fought bravely to the front, there was no one else to witness except each other.

As the most elite and powerful fire-guard troops, the two of them were coveted by many people, especially Shi Wentai. Apart from being good at archery, his combat effectiveness was actually very average.

Lin Zhenyuan put him in the Huotou Army because he wanted him to experience for a while, and then he would be promoted to a deputy general.

If I go back, others may say that I ran away from the battlefield.

In order to avoid being talked about, Shi Wentai pondered for a while and then said to the banner of King Juncheng's troops who had fled: "Jingde, in order to avoid being talked about, how about we go and kill King Juncheng's troops?" Let’s seize the flag of Dahu!”

Chi Jingde agreed to his friend Shi Wentai's idea without thinking, and immediately headed towards Dahu where King Juncheng of the Huns fled.

What Shi Wentai and Chi Jingde didn't know was that if the two of them chased back the army, no one would say that they escaped from the battle.

Although the breakout battle fought by Lin Zhenyuan, led by the mighty guard Huotou Battalion, highlighted the siege of more than 400,000 Xiongnu troops, the losses were not small. He lost more than 30,000 soldiers before retreating to Yuyang City.

As for the Xiongnu, they had a hard time, and they also lost 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers.

In a battle where the enemy was outnumbered and we were surrounded, Lin Zhenyuan was not only able to lead his troops to break out of the encirclement, but he was also able to inflict a 1:2 battle loss. Such a record is difficult to find in the history books of the Chen Kingdom.

However, Lin Zhenyuan is not satisfied with this. In his opinion, there is no time when his general Zhou Yi does not play against the wind and when he does not win with less. Compared with the general, his record is like a scumbag and a scumbag. The gap between scholars.

From Lin Zhenyuan's point of view, if it were his own general to command the entire army this time, he would definitely not be surrounded by enemy forces like himself. Even if they were trapped in an encirclement, Zhouyi would not let the army suffer such heavy losses.

"Political Commissar Wu, how are you? Have you calculated the accurate battle damage statistics?" Lin Zhenyuan asked.

Wu Laoliu held a statistical report in one hand and reported with a sad expression: "This time our Huotou Battalion suffered 367 casualties in the battle, and the other ministries suffered a total of 31,600 casualties."

Wu Laoliu sighed sadly: "Master Yang Xiuyang's savior Chi Jingde and his fellow countryman Shi Wentai are also among them."

"Shi Wentai and Chi Jingde? I have an impression of these two people. The young man named Shi Wentai's written test scores were quite good. At first, I wanted him to train in the Huotou Camp, but I never thought... ."

Lin Zhenyuan also let out a long sigh, and then said: "In the final analysis, it was me, Lin, who harmed the two of them. They are Master Yang's benefactors. If I meet Master Yang one day, I, Lin, will personally go and plead guilty."

"General Lin, don't say that. There's no one who won't die in a war!"

"The only thing to blame is that I was soft-hearted and gave them a chance to take the test. If I had let the two of them join the auxiliary troops transporting food, maybe they wouldn't have been so weak because of the lack of training..." Speaking of this, Wu Laoliu The tone was choked.

Wu Laoliu was not only sad because of Shi Wentai and Chi Jingde, but also sad because of the tens of thousands of other soldiers who died.

But what Lin Zhenyuan and Wu Laoliu didn't know was that just when they were sad, Shi Wentai and Chi Jingde killed all the escaped guards of King Juncheng in the night, and captured Juncheng The king's banner.

After killing more than a dozen Dahu guards of King Juncheng of the Xiongnu, Chi Jingde lay tiredly on the lawn and breathed heavily.

In ancient times, there were four major military achievements: ascending first, breaking the formation, beheading generals, and capturing the flag. Among them, the achievement of capturing the flag is particularly prominent.

The guard of the Great Banner is not just a random person. The Great Banner was a spiritual symbol of the army in ancient times. If the Great Banner collapsed, the entire escort team would be killed, so extremely strong people were needed to protect it. Just fine.

Therefore, Chi Jingde and King Juncheng's protective team did spend a lot of effort when fighting.

Fortunately, Shi Wentai hid in the dark night and shot and attacked the enemy Huns. Otherwise, Chi Jingde, who was already a little tired, might not have been a member of the Huns' King Juncheng's guard, even if he had the courage to do so. opponent.

After resting for a while, Shi Wentai and Chi Jingde hurriedly picked up a pack of instant noodles, crushed it, poured it into the seasoning pack and ate it to replenish their exhausted energy.

Looking at the vast grassland, Chi Jingde asked with some confusion: "Wen Tai, where should we go now to return to our mighty guard?"

Shi Wentai originally wanted to judge the direction through the stars, but this night the moon and stars were sparse, and not even the guiding star could be seen in the sky.

This time Shi Wentai was also in trouble, and he didn't know where to go.

"Jingde, there are no stars in the sky. I really can't tell the direction. I don't know which way to go."

Chi Jingde sighed and said: "Hey! We finally took away King Juncheng's banner, but now we can't go back."

Shi Wentai patted his friend's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, let's put on the Huns' clothes first, and we'll see when the time comes."

After saying that, the two of them took off two pieces of Huns' clothes that were slightly intact, put them on themselves, and then found a random direction to ride.

Shi Wentai and Chi Jingde wore Xiongnu clothes and walked on the grassland for several days. They met more than a dozen mighty guards who were also separated.

When these people heard that Shi Wentai and Chi Jingde were the Huotou Army, they immediately elected them as captains and led them to fight guerrilla warfare on the grassland.

Not to mention, fortunately, people like Shi Wentai and others are good at learning Hun dialect. In addition, they were wearing Huns' clothes, which allowed them to sneak into the Huns' grain transport team.

Late one night, Shi Wentai and his guerrilla team took advantage of the unpreparedness of the Huns' defenders and secretly burned part of their food and baggage.

When the Xiongnu Wuwan Chanyu found out, he was extremely angry. He couldn't believe that a mere dozen men dared to secretly burn his own supplies and wages.

Attila, who was lucky enough to survive being knocked unconscious, analyzed with a bruised nose and face: "It's probably a small group of them who wore our clothes and got in."

At this time, Su Shigan, the general, suddenly had an idea in his mind and came up with a clever plan, saying: "In this case, we can also retaliate in the same way!"
