Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 354 Rooted in the Grassland 1
Before dark, except for the frontier army and the captive army, the rest of the servant army and the [-] Northern Army cavalry rushed back to the camp. Gongsun Xu also led his men to sweep away the remaining strategic materials in the Xianbei army camp. , and the battlefield where the two sides fought was also cleaned up.

After doing all this, Gongsun Xu sent people to escort the prisoners back to the camp in batches. After this battle, Gongsun Xu only captured about [-] enemy prisoners. The captive army has not yet returned to the camp, and no one knows how many people they can capture.

As for the food, grass, supplies, cattle, sheep and horses of the Xianbei army, almost all fell into the hands of Gongsun Xu. Of course, a lot were burned in the fire last night, but these are not important, compared to defeating the Xianbei allied army , these are not losses at all.

The soldiers and horses of each battalion returned to the camp one after another to offer their prisoners. There were special personnel on duty in the battalion to record all these military exploits one by one, and to wait for a few days to unify the rewards. For these tasks, Gongsun Xu asked his subordinates to do them carefully. , Can't let those bloody and sweaty soldiers work in vain.

More than 60 miles away from the camp, a team of about 300 people is slowly heading towards Gongsun Xu's camp. This is the 57 people left by Mu Yong and more than 200 prisoners. All the horses were transferred away, leaving only 57 horses for the [-] brothers, so their marching speed was quite slow.

These prisoners hadn't eaten or drank for almost a day. In addition, they fought for another day and didn't rest well last night. There is also the idea of ​​speeding up the time.

Mu Yong's younger brother and others urged the prisoners to hurry up. It was less than half an hour before dark. If they followed this speed, they would definitely not be able to reach the camp before dark. There were no tents and other things at night. If they spend the night on the grassland, most of the wounded will probably have an accident.

However, the speed of these prisoners is indeed too slow. In fact, it is not their fault. The 57 captives here are only faster on horses, otherwise they will probably be as tired as dead dogs.

From time to time, a small group of cavalry would pass by them. Since these prisoners had different uniforms and everyone was slightly injured, many soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang Army would stop and question them. If they hadn't worn red scarves around their necks, Coupled with the fact that they have a Gongsun Xu's Huben army saber in their hands, I am afraid that most of them will be intercepted.

Mu Yong's younger brother is not stupid. The closer he gets to the camp, the more interrogations he will face. If he can't get back to the camp before dark, something might happen at night. They don't have the logo of the Northern Xinjiang Army on them. If they don't do it well, they will be robbed by others, especially since they have more than 200 prisoners in their hands, which is a lot of military exploits.

After discussing with other brothers, the 57 captive soldiers all told all the captives to speed up, otherwise they would have to eat the whip. The captives all begged for mercy and said that they couldn't move, but the captive army can't control so much now, and they have to Walk.

After advancing for more than ten miles, they encountered a group of 200 soldiers and more than 200 captives. This time they were soldiers from the servant army, led by two centurions. When they saw this group of people, they naturally rose Suspicious, so they intercepted them.

A centurion stepped forward and shouted, "Who are you?"

Mu Yong's younger brother continued the previous rhetoric, and at the same time revealed the mark on his neck and the sword in his hand. The centurion heard about the captive army, and his doubts were reduced by half. There shouldn't be a problem with the Huben army's saber.

However, when the centurion was relaxing, someone among the more than 200 captives on the other side suddenly said in Xianbei: "When will we arrive at the enemy's camp, and set fire to their camp tonight to rescue our brothers."

Although the voice was not loud, many people here heard it. Although the other party spoke Xianbei, the servants and captive soldiers basically understood it. Now, the centurion immediately stepped back and shouted at the same time. Said: "Be alert, surround yourself."

The 57 captured soldiers here were so angry that they almost scolded their mothers. At this point, they were cheated by a prisoner, and now it is hard to tell. Who can believe their identities? The poor 57 captured soldiers immediately raised their hands Shouting with both hands: "Don't do anything, we are our own people, this is someone who is sowing discord..."

Although the two centurions also had doubts in their hearts, their movements were not slow. The two hundred servants immediately surrounded more than 300 people here, and all of them bent their bows and put arrows on the 57 people here.

The cautious centurion immediately shouted: "Put down your weapons, get off your horse and kneel on the ground immediately, or don't blame us for being rude, hurry up."

The captive army couldn't be sure whether the other party wanted to take advantage of others, so they were unwilling to just capture them without a fight, and the soldiers of both sides stalemate for a while.

The two centurions of the servant army saw that the other party refused to dismount and surrender, but there was no sign of making a move. Now they were impatient, and the prisoners were restless at this time, and they were all ready to move.

Just when the two sides were about to fight, there was a roar like a thunderbolt from the blue: "What are you doing, who told you to do it."

Then, a big man ran over with a huge ax on his horse, and not far behind the big man was a team of cavalry who also followed on horseback. This was Xu Huang leading his own soldiers back to the camp, and happened to pass by and saw this situation.

Xu Huang swung his huge axe and roared, "Everyone put down their weapons, or they will be shot to death."

As soon as the words fell, Xu Huang's 50 soldiers left [-] people to guard the [-] captives and the cattle, sheep and horses captured on the road. Three layers of siege.

The two centurions immediately went forward and told the situation just now. Xu Huang nodded after listening to it. He also understood that this kind of thing can be big or small. If this is really an enemy army Expendables, it would be a disaster to let them enter the camp.

Xu Huang rode up to Mu Yong's younger brother and said angrily, "Do you know me?"

Only then did the 57 captured soldiers get off their horses and knelt on the ground and replied: "Yes, the general is an officer of the servant army. A few days ago, the general came to the prison camp to pick people up. We all saw the general from afar. At that time, we all hoped Can be picked up by the general."

When these people said this, Xu Huang believed most of it. Usually outsiders would not know this news. Xu Huang pointed to Mu Yong's younger brother and said, "Bring the knife, let me see."

Mu Yong's younger brother hurriedly handed over the spare sword of the Huben army. After taking it, Xu Huang observed it for a while and said, "It's the knife of the Huben army. How did you drag it so far? Don't you know that it's dangerous? It's so procrastinating." La, it’s possible that you want to die.”

The captive army quickly explained all the situation clearly, and it was not their fault that it was delayed until now. The key is that these prisoners procrastinated. After a while, Xu Huang also understood the key point of the matter. Very soon, there are still people looking for death at this time, come and rest on the spot, I want to see who is so fearless about death."

Only then did the other servants and Xu Huang's soldiers put down their weapons, and they all surrounded them. Such a misunderstanding was simply a joke. If they had really done something just now, I'm afraid these prisoners would have taken the opportunity to escape.

Xu Huangce immediately stepped forward and yelled at the more than 200 captives: "Whether you stand up or I drag you out, don't blame me for being rude when I do it myself."

Most of the captives had seen Xu Huang's majesty, especially the giant ax in his hand, which could split a soldier in half with one blow.However, none of the prisoners answered Xu Huang, and several wanted to speak, but they dared not speak.

Seeing this situation, Xu Huang laughed loudly and said: "Okay, okay, I like your expression of not being afraid of death, I will help you, come here, drag them out one by one and cut them down, the general has an order, It is better to kill a thousand people by mistake than let one person go, there are only more than 200 people hiding a scourge, and killing them all is not a loss."

With Xu Huang's order, not to mention the servants, even the 57 captives don't care so much now, it's better to kill them than to keep them in trouble.

After hearing the order, the servant army immediately went forward to arrest them. This posture really meant to cut down the prisoners. How could the two hundred prisoners not be afraid of death? After a while, someone begged for mercy: "No, no, General, it's not me. He said it, and he is our leader."

Hearing this, Xu Huang sneered and said: "Hey, there is a big fish, come on, catch it and let me take a look at it, it is a bit courageous to dare to cause trouble for us at this time, I have seen it too. "

After a while, the leader who was hiding among the captives was pulled out, Xu Huang saw his unwilling face and smiled: "Why, are you not convinced? If you are not convinced, continue to fight. Damn, you dare to make trouble. I'll see you when I go back."

After finishing speaking, Xu Huang called the others to continue on the road. As for the leader, he was tied behind Xu Huang's horse by special care. The misunderstanding was finally resolved. Seeing the 57 captive soldiers, Xu Huang laughed and scolded: " You are quite courageous, you dare to hang out outside when it is almost dark, and it is not wrong for my subordinates to kill you just now."

The 57 people here all nodded dumbly to express their understanding. As for the misunderstanding just now, if Xu Huang hadn't appeared, I'm afraid the two sides would really fight.

As the sky gradually darkened, teams of cavalry returned to the camp with the captives or captured cattle, sheep and horses. There were two thousand soldiers at the gate of the camp to interrogate the soldiers who returned to the camp. You still have to be careful, otherwise, if you make a wrong step, you may capsize your side in the gutter.

For the soldiers returning to the camp, each group of soldiers must clearly report the serial numbers of their subordinates and the name of the general. For those captive troops who were unclear, Gongsun Xu set up a small camp outside the camp for them. Anyway, at this time, there must be no trouble.

More than 100 miles away, teams of defeated troops fled in all directions, and teams of pursuers pursued with torches. This pursuit battle is not over yet, and many soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang Army are still working hard for their military exploits.
