Chapter 796 The setting sun is like blood
When Shen Yi led his people to the Eastern Front, it was almost evening.

At this time, the sun was setting from the west, and a blazing red setting sun spread across the Huai River, dyeing the Huai River red.

but…

This piece of red is not only red in color, it can even smell blood!

Shen Yi was startled, and hurriedly led people to ride over.

After approaching the river bank, Shen Yi first glanced at the flag on the south bank of the Huaihe River.

A large flag with the word "Chen" almost dyed red is still fluttering in the wind, but it looks a little desolate in conjunction with the strong west wind.

Seeing that Chen Ziqi was still there, Shen Yi knew that the place had not been lost.

However, the battle is clearly over.

Shen Yi was about to urge his horse to go forward, when an inner guard at the side stopped him and said in a low voice: "Lord Shen, wait a moment."

"Humble job, go and see the situation first."

Shen Yi frowned slightly, then nodded slowly.

He is the main general of the Huai'an defense line, and he really can't be impulsive at this time.

Soon, the inner guard who went to explore the way hurried back.

Even this kind of emperor's personal soldier swallowed his saliva at this moment, and after taking a deep breath, he calmed down and said, "Duke Shen!"

"General Xue...General Xue is in the front tent."

Shen Yi's expression darkened.

"What's up with him?"

The inner guard lowered his head and said cautiously: "Back to Shen Gong, General Xue is fine, it's just..."

Having said that, he sighed, unable to speak any more, lowered his head slightly, gritted his teeth and said, "You can find out by yourself."

Shen Yi hurriedly urged the horse, and rushed to the somewhat dilapidated camp ahead.

In the camp, there were corpses everywhere.

Not only the corpses of the generals, but also the corpses of many Qi people.

Compared with the corpses, there are more wounded!

Shen Yi was taken directly into a big tent, where he saw Xue Wei covered in blood.

At this moment, the burly man had already fallen to the ground, gasping for breath.

Shen Yi frowned, hurried forward, and squatted halfway in front of Xue Wei, with a faint tremor in his voice: "Xue Wei, Xue Wei!"

Xue Wei quickly opened his eyes. After he glanced at Shen Yi, he was stunned for a moment, and then he grinned: "Mr. Shen, you are finally here..."

"Subordinate...I..."

He closed his eyes and said slowly, "I'm very sleepy..."

"I've been waiting for you to come and preside over the situation. If you don't come, I dare not sleep..."

After saying this, a smile appeared on his face, he closed his eyes, and slowly fell backwards.

Shen Yi was stunned, and he shouted: "Xue Wei, Xue Wei!"

Xue Wei closed his eyes and lay straight on the ground.

"Where's the military doctor!"

Shen Yi turned his head and shouted angrily: "Call the military doctor!"

Soon, the military doctor at this station was brought directly in front of Shen Yi. He first looked at the sleepy Xue Wei, and took Xue Wei's pulse. After checking the injury, he carefully bowed his head to Shen Yi and said : "Master Shen..."

The military doctor took a deep breath and said, "General Xue has only two traumas on his body, neither of which hurt his bones. He has strong bones, so there shouldn't be any serious problems."

Hearing this, Shen Yi was stunned for a while, then sat down on the ground, and heaved a long sigh of relief.

"Then...then why did he collapse suddenly?"

"too tired…"

The military doctor lowered his head and said: "After General Xue arrived this morning, the Qi people were about to land. He personally led the brothers under his command and fought with the Qi people for almost a whole day."

"It's already exhausted."

The military doctor lowered his head and said, "But Mr. Shen hasn't come yet, so he just tried his best not to fall asleep."

Shen Yi was silent for a while, he didn't speak, he just stretched out his hand and patted Xue Wei's shoulder, turned around and ordered: "Pick General Xue to the bed and let him have a good sleep."

"in addition…"

Master Shen closed his eyes and said, "Call me the two thousand households here."

The name of this place is Chen Ji, and it is the place where Shen Yi personally deploys his defense. A total of two thousand-household battalions, or 2000 people, are stationed here.

Soon, someone came to report and lowered his head and said, "Master Shen, Chu Qianhu was seriously injured and fell into a coma now, Zhou Qianhu was also injured, and his legs and feet are weak..."

Shen Yi was quite moved when he heard this.

He stood up straight away and said, "Take me to see Zhou Qianhu."

"Yes."

This man immediately led Shen Yi to the wounded barracks, and brought him to see Zhou Qianhu who was lying on the floor with a pale face.

After Shen Yi saw this person, he immediately thought of it. He squatted down, looked at Zhou Qianhu who was lying on the ground, and slowly exhaled, "Zhou Lian, isn't it?"

Although Zhou Qianhu's face was pale, after hearing Shen Yi's words, a bright smile appeared on his face, he nodded to Shen Yi repeatedly, and said, "You still remember me..."

"remember."

Shen Yi said in a low voice: "Hundred households of the anti-Japanese army, when you went to Beiji Island to suppress the Japanese, you followed me."

Zhou Lian grinned at Shen Yi.

"At that time, the general didn't understand anything, and would only follow you for credit."

Shen Yi patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Where is the injury?"

"The thigh was stabbed by those sons of bitches."

Zhou Lian smiled at Shen Yi and said, "Fortunately, the doctor said that he didn't hurt his bones or tendons. After a few days, he will be able to follow you and fight with General Xue again."

Shen Yi nodded, took a deep breath, and said, "Tell me about the current situation, so I can arrange for you."

"Yes."

Zhou Lian nodded and said: "Mr. Shen, this morning, the ships of the Qi people suddenly attacked Chen Ji. We immediately organized the soldiers to build a defensive line to fight back, but the enemy came too fast, and..."

"Login was quick."

"We didn't have time to keep them out of the river."

Zhou Lian said in a low voice, "By the time General Xue arrived, most of those Qi people had landed on the south bank of the Huaihe River. General Xue personally commanded the battle formation and fought with the Qi people until the afternoon."

Shen Yi closed his eyes and asked, "How many people from Qi? How many did we die in battle?"

"The number of Qi people exceeds two thousand..."

Having said that, Zhou Lian looked at Shen Yi with a sad wry smile on his face.

"As for how many of us died in battle, the general will not know, but..."

He looked at Shen Yi, and his voice became a little hoarse: "The Qianhu Battalion under the last general's command is estimated to have about 300 people who can move now."

Hearing these words, Shen Yi's face immediately became ugly.

From the moment he went to the southeast to form an army, from the anti-Japanese army to the coastal capital, the whole process of Shen Yi training and commanding the army has been smooth and smooth, basically without any major setbacks.

Before that, the biggest stumble he ever made was probably Xue Wei's capture in Fuzhou!
And this time, the two Thousand Household Battalions under his command!
The establishment was almost wiped out!

How could this make Shen Yi indifferent?

Seeing Shen Yi's ugly face, Zhou Lian lowered his head slightly, and said, "Mr. Shen, don't worry, the number of enemies killed in battle is no less than ours."

"They will only die more."

Zhou Lian raised his head with a proud expression.

"When the fight started today, until noon, the morale of the brothers was a little unstable."

"Fortunately, General Xue is here."

"General Xue said, our officers and men must not let down your trust, Mr. Shen!"

"Brothers, you didn't take a single step back, and you beat the Qi army!"

He looked at Shen Yi with light in his eyes.

"Mr. Shen, we have lived up to your trust and kept Chen Ji!"

In this era, ordinary troops lose more than [-]% of their battles, and there may be a rout!
And these two thousand-household battalions may have lost more than [-]% of the battle!
Still stick to Chen Ji!

Hearing this, Shen Yi opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say anything. He was silent for a moment, feeling like a stick in his throat.

He even wanted to cry a little.

But he couldn't cry.

After being silent for a long time, he could only reach out and pat Zhou Lian on the shoulder, and said softly, "You guys did a good job."

"Defend Chen Ji, you are all heroes."

Shen Yi said in a low voice: "I will immediately arrange for someone to come over to change defenses. You two, everyone in the Thousand-Household Battalion, go back to Huai'an to rest."

Zhou Lian looked up at Shen Yi, and said, "Mr. Shen, this subordinate will recover in a few days, subordinate..."

He looked at Zhou Lian with a smile on his face.

"Let you go to Huai'an, there are other tasks."

Shen Yi patted him on the shoulder with a calm tone.

"You two Thousand-Household Battalions suffered heavy casualties. After returning to Huai'an, make a list of all the dead and missing, and there must be no omissions."

"Injured people, you have to heal their injuries for me."

Having said that, Shen Yi became serious and said in a deep voice.

"There is one more important thing."

Master Shen's tone was calm.

"That's within three months."

"You guys are going to be in Huai'an, fill me up with 2000 people."
