Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1085 Chapter 1085

At some point, the savages finally withdrew.

From their ferocious charge, to fighting to the death, and finally to despair and fear, they never expected that thousands of people could not kill this Qin army yet.

The barbarians retreated slowly, and finally fell into the forest.

In front of the mountain pass, the blood was soaring.

Under the feet of the government soldiers, a thick layer of blood had already accumulated, and the ground was already stained red.

"Report casualties?"

Captain Cui Gao shouted, his voice was hoarse, his whole body was soaked and bloody red, and it was hard to tell whether it was blood or sweat.There are several wounds on his body, but fortunately he has armor on his body, so the injuries are not serious.

The team flag was still held high, and the flag bearer and the two flag guards' knives were also dyed red.

Su Ba threw the scarred shield on the ground, and the shield fell apart into several pieces, his hands trembling like cramps.

"casualties?"

The leader of group B looked left and right at the two brothers in the same group, "Xiao Yi is dead, his left eye was stabbed with a spear, and he is already cold. Xu Rong's leg was injured, but it should be fine, I'm fine."

The team leader of Group C did not respond, but Lao Zhao, a knife player in the same group, responded, "Group Song is dead, and Lao Chang and I are still alive."

Su Ba, the three members of Team A, was injured, and he didn't know how many places it was, but it shouldn't be a serious matter. Although the other two boys also looked injured, but seeing that they were still panting, they probably wouldn't die.

Su Ba then loudly replied to Captain Cui Sheng, "Nine people were killed in the sword fire, two of them died, Xiao Yi and Lao Song, and the others were injured, but not seriously injured."

Of the nine men in Lengdunhuo, three died, and the leader of the fire also died.

One of the knife and ax fires died, one of the spear fires also died, only the bow and crossbow fire survived, and only the team leader and the three standard bearers were injured.

Cui Sheng said to the deputy old Liu of the team, "Old Liu, take note, seven brothers died in battle at this unnamed mountain pass."

Old Liu nodded heavily, "While the barbarian retreats, quickly take out the medicine mouth and heal it. What needs to be bandaged, what needs to be stitched up."

"Zhao Xunqi, you can sew, come here."

Lao Liu wrote down the names of the brothers who died in battle, and began to sort out their belongings to see if there were any close-fitting things that could be taken separately from the corpse.

Cui Sheng panted heavily, took a rest, and felt better, so he led his men to count the corpses of the barbarians, while Zhao Jin, the bow and crossbow commander, led his men to recover the crossbow arrows on the battlefield.

"More than 200 corpses, specifically 210 Seven."

Cui Sheng walked around and came back.

There were no survivors, and those who were seriously injured were repaired by the barbarians before they retreated, while those who were slightly injured were taken away.

The barbarians also took away most of the weapons on the battlefield, leaving only a group of unlucky ghosts lying there.

He opened the water bag and took a few sips. Cui Sheng passed the water to the brother next to him, and took a piece of dried salted fish to chew, "I don't know if these southern barbarians will attack again."

Old Liu took down the military badges of the seven brothers who died in battle, "I guess the Southern Barbarians must have lost their nerve. They must have suffered such a big loss, so they must not dare to fight, otherwise there is no need to withdraw. Now that they have withdrawn, they must be temporarily Don’t dare to fight anymore, let’s pack up quickly, take the bodies of the seven brothers who died in battle, and return to Wenyang City.”

"There are Nanmanzi at this mountain pass, so it is estimated that this shortcut is the one chosen by Nanmanzi, and there may be more ahead."

"Those have no choice, they have already fought, and they can only go back as soon as possible."

Cui Sheng was very annoyed, everyone performed very well in this battle, fifty against one thousand, and still killed 210, but he also lost seven, and the other brothers were also injured, especially very tired.

If you encounter the enemy again, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with.

Fortunately, it is less than [-] miles away from Wenyang City. If they speed up and advance to the city before dark, and don't spend the night in the wild, then they will be safe. Even if they are still in the wild at night, the Nanman will surely Come on raid.

Attacked in the wild, 43 of their exhausted and wounded soldiers might all die here.

"Everyone get on their horses and rush over."

"What about these enemy corpses?"

These 210 seven corpses are proof of their military exploits. If they are brought back, their military exploits will be guaranteed, but if they are not taken away, how will they prove it? It will be a burden to bring them back.

"Cut off the head and take it away."

They each have a mount and a pack horse. There are a hundred horses and more than 200 heads. One horse carries two or three, so it shouldn't be a big burden.

"Then hurry up, cut off the head and take it away, and discuss the merits in detail after returning."

Although everyone was exhausted, everyone didn't dare to delay any longer at this time. They raised their knives and stepped forward, taking the time to chop off their heads.

After a brief tidying up, the seven dead government soldiers were also tied to the saddles.

The team hit the road again, this time no longer patrolling slowly, but galloping at full speed.

When they crossed the mountain pass, everyone was very worried, fearing that the barbarians would ambush them again. The two Qi Qi rode ahead to explore the road. Fortunately, they passed the mountain pass without any danger.

On the other side of the mountain, there is a very flat land boundary, at least with a wide view, no need to worry about a sudden ambush, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and galloped on horseback.

After nearly thirty miles, about two hours, I finally arrived at the city of Wenyang.

At this time, the gates of Wenyang City were closed tightly, and beacon smoke was also lit in several villages nearby.

This is a warning sign.

"It seems that the Nanmanzi has come."

The team drove all the way to the bottom of the city, and the city gate slowly opened.

The capital stationed in the county and the chief magistrate of the county's Wei County and the county magistrate all came out to welcome them.

They all looked at their team, "It's not bad that there are seven missing. You left here yesterday, but today the Tunzhuang outside the city reported that a large number of barbarians were found. I was worried that you would all die outside this time." .”

Cui Shengdao, "Don't worry, the barbarians are not capable of this. After we found traces of a large number of barbarians crossing the river by the big river, we diverted and returned. As a result, we encountered more than a thousand barbarians attacking at the mountain pass by the river. After a bloody battle, the barbarians were killed by us." Seven of them died and fled. Because I was thinking about Wenyang City, I was afraid that you would not be able to hold it, so I couldn't pursue it, so I hurried back."

"Meet Qian Man, kill 210 Qi?"

The county magistrate couldn't believe it. After all, fifty battles were still field battles.

Cui Sheng was not very happy to hear the county magistrate's words. He didn't like these officials who came from scholars and literati.

Su Ba and others took the heads off the horses and threw them into a pile.

The county magistrate covered his mouth, a little disgusted.

"There are so many barbarian heads, could it be that they slaughtered some of the subordinate barbarian villages and pretended to be meritorious?" said a long follower next to the county magistrate.

Murderous look flashed in Cui Sheng's eyes.

The hand has been pressed directly on the knife.

The captain stationed in the city immediately pressed his hand, and he turned around and said to the county magistrate with a smile, "Master, your words as a long follower are over. The soldiers are out to kill the enemy and defend the border, and they rushed to reinforce after the battle." , Caring about the officials and people in Wenyang City, but you, the commander, said such hurtful things?"

The county magistrate turned around and slapped the long follower hard. Although he also had such doubts, he didn't have any evidence, so he really couldn't say that in public.

"Captain Cui, it's my official who doesn't discipline his subordinates strictly, I'm sorry."

Cui Sheng returned the salute with a cold face.

"Lin Dutou, where is Manzi now?"

"Several villages ignited beacon fires and reported encountering barbarians. Fortunately, everyone was very vigilant. They closed the villages in time, recalled the people outside, and put the militiamen and villagers on guard. Now the Nanmans have not broken through the villages. village."

"It seems that the barbarians are also smart. They know that Wenyang City is high and there are government soldiers stationed there, so it is difficult to attack, so they want to sweep the villages outside our city first, but they didn't expect that our villages are no better than their barbarian villages, and the defenses are very strict .” Cui Sheng said. "Has Dutou reported to Sunset City for help?"

"Several people have been sent to go in batches. It is estimated that Sunset City has received a police letter by this time."

"That's good, let's wait for reinforcements in the city." Cui Sheng heaved a sigh of relief.

Lin Dutou immediately said, "Brothers of the Fifth Capital A team have worked hard, go to the city first to heal the wounds, and leave the matter of defending the city against thieves to a certain old Lin."
