burning nations

Chapter 141 Returning to the South Bank

"What's wrong with Boda? If Boda hadn't come to help in time, all the thousands of sons here would have died!"

"Old General..."

Tan Yang hurriedly got off his horse and helped him up, but if Zhang Cai was here, that brainless girl must have received Sun Kang's gift well.

"Now is not the time to talk about these things. If you dare to ask the old general, do you know where Liu Yangwei and other old generals are now?"

Regarding Tan Yang's question, Sun Kang let out a long sigh, and said sadly, "I don't know about the rest, I only know Brother Yanqing... Oh, it's gone... It's gone..."

Sun Kang said slowly: "The army was defeated that day, brother Yanqing was in a coma, the old man and brother Yanqing withdrew together, wanted to gather scattered soldiers and horses, and retreated southward with the guards everywhere. On the way to the south, we were chased by iron men all the time. Our army fought and retreated. , the casualties were heavy, and Wang Changshi was killed in battle, and there were soldiers' bones along the way."

"Brother Yanqing was speechless and killed all the soldiers. He charged the Iron Man cavalry with his horse and died. The old man led the rest of the soldiers to continue to retreat south. On the way, they were attacked and harassed by the Iron Man. Until now, he was rescued by Bo Da."

Hearing the latest news brought by Sun Kang with their own ears, Tan Yang and others had expected it, but they were still very sad.The famous general of the empire will not be guaranteed at the end of the day, his life record will be wiped out due to the last battle, countless sons will die because of him, and countless families will be broken because of him. Liu Fa will be abused by the orphans of the soldiers for life.

But being able to die on the battlefield is also an honor for Liu Fa.Who said that the 20 army went to the Northern Expedition, and if they lost their soldiers and generals, they would lose their entire army and fall into the prestige of the country. Even if they returned to the empire alive, they would either die or be exiled.Instead of this, it is better not to lose the stamina of the man, to die in the battlefield shrouded in horse leather, to use his own life to wash away his humiliation, so as not to harm his descendants.

When I go to hell, I don't hide my face with my hair when I see Brother Paoze in normal times.

"Old general, I have time to say thank you later. Although the iron man is retreating now, he will definitely make a comeback. Let the soldiers cross the river now, so as not to disturb the spirits of the soldiers who died in battle." A friendly "reminder" of not approaching to terminate the conversation.

Tan Yang quickly scolded: "Don't be rude!"

Lin Yang winked at the side vigorously, reminding her to do her own thing!

However, Sun Kang agreed with Zhang Cai's words.

"What this little man said is very true, you take the opportunity to take the soldiers across the river now!"

Tan Yang was surprised after hearing this: "I'm waiting to cross the river, what about you, old general?"

"Me? Haha..." Sun Kang laughed miserably, and his right finger, which only had three fingers, taunted himself: "I, Sun Kang, a defeated general who lost his master and humiliated the country! What face do we have to go back!"

"If I hadn't promised Brother Yanqing to bring back these soldiers who survived so hard, I would have died long ago!"

"Now, it can be said that it is time for relief!"

Liu Fa has no face to go back, and Sun Kang also has no face.

After Tan Yang and Lin Yang heard this, they solemnly saluted with fists in their hands, and Tan Yang performed a textbook-like salute with armor on his body, and then the generals commanded the soldiers of the Zhagu Army to cross the river.

Sun Kang looked at the busy Zhang Cai from the corner of his eye. The old man had seen countless people, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the young gentleman who reminded him was a woman
Sun Kang was in the Shengcai Army for a long time, and most of the soldiers who followed him were also Shengcai Army. They often had kindness and power in the army, so the soldiers could not bear to abandon them.After some quarrels, nearly a thousand people had no family and no one to rely on, and voluntarily stayed to accompany Sun Kang to die.

Sun Kang did not refuse.

Zhagu's army scrambled to cross the river quickly, and they entered the water one by one, abandoning their armor, especially the heavy armor, in order to wade across the water.More and more people went into the water, and fewer and fewer people on the north bank, and soon Zhang Cai and the others became the last batch.

"Let's go, what are you looking at?"

Lin Yang reminded quietly that Zhang Cai came back to his senses and did not disarm and rode southward on horseback.On the way, he said to Lin Yang, who was on the back of the chasing wind black Wanli dragon horse: "I didn't look at anything, I just told myself in my heart, "I will definitely come back"!"

The last time he was in this embarrassing situation was either he was sneak attacked in Yinshan, or he was attacked by Jiangxin against Longtian and other salt gang killers.But this time it was a purely incompetent general who was defeated, Zhang Cai was very dissatisfied, Liu Fa pitted her badly, she must get back this scene!
Lin Yang didn't say much, in fact, he was aggrieved by this battle...

---------------

On the north bank of the Hujunlun River, Sun Kang and the soldiers who voluntarily stayed behind formed two sparse battle formations, holding blunt, curled, and broken swords and spears, and waited silently.

Feeling the vibration of the horse's hoof, Sun Kang, who was tense, relaxed for a moment.

The iron man cavalry stopped three hundred paces away and half surrounded Sun Kang and the others.Surrounded by countless Iron Man cavalry, Thule Tuo raised his eyes to see the tattered Zaku army flag, which was like a rag, still flying majesticly and magnificently. Under the flag, a group of remnant soldiers stood quietly there.

"Marshal Du ordered you to put down your weapons and surrender!"

A cavalry pawn jumped out, shouting loudly.

"Old Huwei General Sun Kang! I would rather die than surrender!"

Sun Kang replied with the last of his strength.

Thule suddenly shook his head: "Send them to see Changshengtian!"

"Shoot the arrow!!!"

After receiving the order, countless iron cavalrymen unambiguously fired ten thousand arrows, and the dense raindrops of arrowheads hit their bodies. Support your body with a long spear, and don't let yourself fall down like admitting defeat!

Sun Kang was hit by more than a hundred arrows. Before he died, he was holding on to a flag, holding on to the military flag. The old general kept his eyes open and looked at the iron man who was shooting the arrows in front of him, and kept his eyes open...

Thule suddenly said with emotion: "They are all warriors, let's nail them to the pillars and line them up along the river bank."

This is Iron Man's way of expressing admiration.

In July of the 42nd year of Zhangwu, Huwei General Sun Kang led the army to die, and the entire army was shot and killed by the Iron Man Cavalry on the north bank of the Kunlun River with random arrows, and the body was abused by the Iron Man Cavalry.

Fording the river, walking up to the bank step by step, the south bank of Hu Kunlun River, and returning.

Looking at the shore, there are many three-bow ballista, and behind the ballista are rows of crossbowmen, forming a square formation.On the left and right sides of the crossbowmen, you can still see some cavalry wearing heavy armor and heavy helmets, with white feathers towering on the helmet tassels.

Seeing the cavalry, Tan Yang, Lin Yang and the others had some ideas in their hearts, and then they were surprised.

Similarly, looking at the heavy cavalry with white tassels, a trace of curiosity flashed in Zhang Cai's eyes.

【Helmet with white tassels, could it be.】

It was Sima Jiang De who organized and arranged for the defeated soldiers on the shore. When he learned from Tan Yang that the two generals Liu Fa and Sun Kang were killed in battle, and that his colleagues such as Chang Shi and the chief secretary were all killed in the line of duty, he couldn't help crying. Grief like the loss of a loved one.

Tan Yang tried to persuade him to mourn, and then went to rest. He was too tired to die all the way.
