Chapter 57 After the Sixth War
After a night of fierce fighting and turmoil, Yangqiuli finally ushered in morning again.

The burning house was burned overnight, and the thatch on the roof, the thin beams, and the few household items were all burned away, leaving only a black column of smoke slowly floating into the sky.

Zhao Yun ordered the dead horses to be dragged from the battlefield and fed to all the soldiers without limit.

Except for the security personnel, all the other soldiers gathered in the open space in front of the village. They were led by their respective officers, divided into areas, and each one started a fire.

The commander is supposed to be in charge of pots and other utensils, arrange the starting of the stove, light the fire, and then distribute meals. This is also the most basic eating process of the traditional army.

However, under Gongsun Yan's intervention, each soldier was generously issued with a marching kettle that could be used for cooking, and the functions of the commander changed accordingly.

He no longer has to be responsible for every piece of tableware, meal sharing, etc. He only needs to deliver the meal portions distributed by his superiors directly to the soldiers, and they will cook them themselves.

In the morning meal after this fierce battle, you can eat the horse meat that was killed in the battle without any restrictions without being harmful to the body.

This is truly wonderful news.

The soldiers, who were tired after a long night, ran around, collecting firewood and trying to get water.

Everyone's marching canteen was filled to the brim with chunks of meat.

Zhao Yun, Zhang Ze and other officers also gathered together and lit a fire.

It seems that because of the bottle of energy drink Zhao Yun gave him, or the success of the night attack on the camp, and the survival of his clan brother Zhang Zuo, Zhang Ze was as excited as a spinning top.

Holding the Yan Ling Dao at his waist in one hand, he kept running around.

At this time, he was also collecting firewood and water, and was responsible for cooking horse meat for Zhao Yun and his colleagues.

In this case, even if they are officers, they don't get much special treatment. They are still boiled meat without salt.

The only thing boiling in the special kettle is the paste of some compressed biscuits, which is for Zhang Zhang.

Gongsun Yan was worried that Zhao Yun would lose energy after running back and forth, so he prepared a supply bag of energy drinks and compressed biscuits for him and put them in his horse bag.

Her painstaking efforts finally paid off. Zhang Zhang fell into a deep sleep after drinking the healing potion. It would also be nice to drink some sweet biscuit paste.

Just when many white horse soldiers lit fires from the officers and soldiers, the water in the marching kettle began to steam, and the aroma of meat rolled out.

Tian Kai, together with the two generals of the Xiangguan reinforcements, also finished their work of rounding up the fleeing Wuhuan people in the forest, and came to the valley of Yangqiuli together.

As soon as we entered the valley, we were greeted by a long and impactful slope covered with limbs and flesh.

Wang Yan, the deputy general appointed by Gongsunda to lead the army, looked at the scene like a slaughterhouse of blood and flesh in front of him. He took in a breath of cold air as if he had a toothache, and was instantly choked by the blood and other stench that filled the air and coughed.

The number of people in this small-scale battle was nothing compared to previous wars, but when the battlefield was only concentrated in a long and narrow valley, it became terrifying.

The flesh and blood of thousands of people and horses were spread on the long slope like a red carpet, making people instinctively fearful and uncomfortable.

Leading Zuo Ping's hundred cavalry was Zuo Ping's grandson Zuo Yuan. He trained under his grandfather Zuo Yuan's tent and also experienced small-scale wars against foreign tribes.It can be seen that this scene is also filled with awe. With a little fluff on his lips, he looked at the black figure buried in a pot making rice at the foot of the hillside with a bit of awe on his face.

He was young, and by the time he was a little older, Gongsun Zan had already defeated Yuan Shao in Jizhou and the Baima Yicong army was almost wiped out in the Battle of Jieqiao. After the reconstruction, he never returned to Liaoxi again, even if he heard about Zeng He had never seen such a cavalry galloping outside the Great Wall with his own eyes.

At this time, Zuo Yuan felt a little regretful. Maybe he should have participated in the battle with Captain Zhao yesterday, instead of hiding in the woods and shooting cold arrows, acting as a suspect and picking up some cheap ones.

Even if military merit is not considered, as a warrior on the battlefield, it would be a bit regretful to miss such a war with a small enemy and a large number of enemies, and almost annihilate all the enemy forces.

Zuo Yuan thought and sighed at the same time as Wang Yan. The two of them looked at each other in unison and saw the regret in each other's eyes.

Tian Kai, who was riding with them, felt happy and complicated in his heart.

It's a little difficult for him to ride a horse now, and he has no chance of such a passionate battlefield.

But he was also happy at the same time. He knew that after this battle, Baima Yicong, whose spine had been broken, would regain his military spirit and appear in everyone's eyes again.

And Zhao Yun, as an old boss, Tian Kai was surprised that Zhao Yun could make such amazing progress.

Last night, whether it was a suspected soldier or a night attack, he set up an ambush at the last valley entrance and took advantage of the mountain to annihilate them head-on. Every step was eye-catching.

Zhao Yun's fierce yet steady style has begun to take shape.

Although it is still a bit immature for him to be the head coach himself, but considering Zhao Yun's own combat effectiveness, Tian Kai believes that Zhao Yun also takes himself into consideration as an important chess piece when considering the battle plan.

Tian Kai knew that after this battle, Zhao Yun, who had withstood the pressure test from all parties and emerged victorious, would grow as if he had been reborn.

Looking at this battlefield, Tian Kai was a little frightened, but unlike Wang Yan and Zuo Yuan, who were a little immature, he was a veteran on the battlefield and a veteran in officialdom. He didn't see the expressions on their faces, they were driving calmly. The horse trampled over the piles of corpses on the ground.

"According to the previous agreement, please arrange to clean the battlefield," Tian Kai said with a smile, and the horse's hooves occasionally stepped on a corpse and made a dull sound.

"This..." Zuo Yuan was young, with a bit of sadness on his face. He was the one who reacted most violently to Zhao Yun's decision to return to Yangqiu yesterday.

In his opinion, there is no benefit in returning to Yangqiuli.

Even after hearing Zhao Yun's plan and feeling that he had a slight chance of winning, he only agreed to spy on soldiers on the periphery.

The promise to Zhao Yun and Tian Kai to clean up the battlefield and share the profits was just a joke. He didn't expect that the promise could really come true. He was embarrassed, but he didn't want to give up the benefits of talking.

"Zuo Sima, don't think too much. If you hadn't been out there to scare these wild dogs into chaos, Zilong's plan wouldn't have been implemented so smoothly." Tian Kai said with a smile, "It's all my family, don't be polite. , you two can take the clothes, armor and weapons, and you and I will share [-] to [-] of the captured war horses."

Hearing Tian Kai say that he was from his family, Zuo Yuan became a little shy while feeling close to him. Wang Yan, on the other hand, was older and thick-skinned after all. He immediately took advantage of the donkey down the slope and cupped his hands and said: "Captain Tian said so." Yes, we are all members of our own family, so we shamelessly ask for food!"

"Me, me too, thank you Captain Tian." Zuo Yuan hurriedly followed suit.

"Where, where." Tian Kai laughed loudly, and the three of them stood in the sea of ​​blood and corpses, chatting happily.
