Horse on the World

Chapter 524
The personal guard battalion of the Dingzhou Army and Chen Zeyue who broke out from the siege were terrible. At this time, there were only less than 3000 soldiers left in the whole army, and only about 2000 soldiers were left with combat capabilities. A large number of wounded soldiers were tied to horses. Huo Zhensheng, the military medical officer, had no medicine to treat the wounded soldiers. He could only do some simple hemostasis and bandages. Seeing the wounded soldiers moaning and wailing because of the pain, Huo Zhensheng hid in a corner and wept secretly, but he was helpless.

Among these wounded soldiers, it was Chen Zeyue who worried Huo Zhensheng the most. When Chen Zeyue broke out of the siege last time, he was injured in several places, but the most serious one was a heavy knife on one leg. The huge wound was so deep that the bones could be seen , due to the lack of medicine, the injury gradually deteriorated. Fortunately, it was a cold winter. If the weather had been hot, Chen Zeyue would not have survived today.

The armor on Tang Hu's body was already scarred, his head was grazed by a cold arrow, if the arrow was any lower, it would have directly killed him, Tang Hu covered his head and stood rubbing his hands and feet. Beside Chen Zeyue, who was sometimes comatose and sometimes sober, he was helpless. Among the three senior generals, only Iron Leopard was the luckiest.

Thousands of remnant soldiers advanced slowly on the snowy ground. Those who could still walk got off their horses and led their horses forward. The pursuers behind them were still dozens of miles away. Dingzhou was extremely exhausted, and the pursuers were no better Where to go, in this weather, it is impossible to catch up with this army today. Due to the lack of supplies, there is no food, people can still hold on, but the horses cannot get better food after repeated battles. The horses spoiled by the state's logistics system have lost a lot of fat, and now their sprinting ability and stamina have dropped extremely quickly. In order to preserve the physical strength of the horses, the soldiers use them as little as possible.

Two cavalrymen with excellent riding skills walked side by side, and a soft net was tied with a rope between them. Chen Zeyue was lying on it, covered with a dirty quilt, and Tang Hu rode his horse nervously. On the other side, I have to pay attention to the other party from time to time. As long as Chen Zeyue wakes up, Tang Hu will keep talking to him, for fear that the other party will not be able to stand alone, so he goes like this.

"Huzi, where are we?" Chen Zeyue slowly opened his eyes. At this moment, he could no longer feel the pain, and his whole body was numb.

"Old Chen, you're awake. Great. We're heading towards Baimadu now. It's not far away. I've sent sentries to report the news. It should be today that reinforcements from Baimadu will arrive. We just need to go After arriving at Baimadu, you can get effective supplements and recuperate! When you get there, there will be medicine for you!" Tang Hu said with a big grin.

Chen Zeyue pondered for a moment, "Huzi, you must be careful on the side of Baimadu, and you must confirm that the other party has no malicious intentions before you can relax your guard."

Tang Hu opened his mouth wide, "What's the matter, there are our people!"

Chen Zeyue sighed, "Yes, there are indeed our people there, but the tiger, it's not that I'm suspicious, but people don't hurt the tiger's will, the tiger is harmful to the heart, Liu Yuan, the general of the White Horse Camp, is not our Dingzhou old man, but It is a temporary effect on the battlefield, and their loyalty may not be very reliable. Now that we are in trouble, we are still flying the banner of the commander-in-chief. Outsiders will say that the commander-in-chief is still in our army. Maybe someone has bad intentions .”

"Are you suspecting that Liu Yuan will be cold-blooded?" Tang Hu understood what the other party meant.

"I'm just skeptical, and I'm not necessarily right. It's better that I'm wrong, Huzi. At Baimadu, we have a thousand veterans from Dingzhou. I am sometimes unconscious and sometimes sober. You must remember that if The one who came to meet us earlier was the Thousand Dingzhou Army, so Liu Yuan has no problem. If not, you have to prepare for battle immediately. Oh, by the way, the leader of the Thousand Dingzhou Army is Jin Chao, I There is a reflection, it is a very good student from Jimingze!"

Tang Hu nodded heavily, "Okay, I will definitely remember, if these thousand veterans come first, then everything will be fine, if not, we'll just kill his mother!"

Chen Zeyue nodded in relief, and was about to tell Tang Hu a few more words, when the horse carrying him staggered suddenly, and his body tilted, Chen Zeyue's body was thrown up, and there was a sharp pain in his body immediately, and he couldn't help With a snort, he passed out again.

"What the hell are you doing again?" Tang Hu was startled, and while yelling at the soldier, he called out to Huo Zhensheng at the same time.In the midst of the hustle and bustle, not far ahead, a few outpost soldiers galloped over, and they came back with the bodyguard that Tang Hu sent out a few days ago to report the letter.

"General Tang, the reinforcements are here, the reinforcements are here!" From a long distance away, the sentinel was already waving his arms and shouting loudly, and thousands of soldiers suddenly burst into cheers.

Tang Hu galloped forward and asked loudly: "Who is leading the team? How many people are there?"

The sentry said loudly: "General Tang, about a thousand people came first, led by our Dingzhou veteran Captain Jin Chaojin, oh, by the way, and General Liu Yuan. Handsome, so Lieutenant Jin came here first, and there are [-] soldiers and horses behind, hurrying to come!"

Tang Hu let out a long breath. Fortunately, no problem. Since Jin Chao led the team, and Liu Yuan, the chief general of the White Horse Battalion, also came, it proved that this Liu Yuan was still reliable.

"Get ready for reinforcements!" Tang Hu ordered loudly.

The tragedy of the Dingzhou Army surprised Liu Yuan, it was worse than he imagined, looking at the one-eyed general at the head of the team, Liu Yuan knew that this person was Li Qing's personal bodyguard, the legend of Dingzhou One of the characters, General Tang Hutang, got off his horse after a few tens of steps, trotted all the way, and said as he ran, "General Tang, the rescue is late, please forgive me! Forgive me!"

Tang Hu jumped off the horse, laughed and said: "It's good if you come, you are a family when you come, there is no forgiveness!" Going forward, he patted the other party's shoulder affectionately, with a smile on his face flower.

Tang Hu is a straight-hearted person, but he didn't know that his words revealed a lot of information. Liu Yuan couldn't help being startled when he heard it, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help sweating. Liu Jiang's idea, if he really thought about it, he would not be a family now.

I was glad in my heart, but my face remained calm, and I said again and again: "General Tang, please introduce the commander-in-chief for me, and I will apologize to the commander-in-chief at the end!"

Hearing this, Tang Hu couldn't help but startled. The general in the army is a Xibei guy. It's not appropriate to let the other party see him as a general. After all, the other party is now a high-ranking general in Dingzhou , and now there is no problem in terms of loyalty, but telling the other party the truth now, Tang Hu can't make up his mind.

"Well, General Chen, the commander-in-chief is sick, and he can't see anyone now. Anyway, everyone is going to go to your Baimadu. When we get there, it's not too late to see you again, it's not too late to see you again!" Tang Hu thought of an idea to prevaricate other side.

But Liu Yuan didn't think so, he thought that the other party was still guarding against him, fortunately he didn't betray him, otherwise not only would he not be able to catch Li Qing, but he would be bitten hard by the other party.

Immediately he forced a smile and said, "That's fine, that's fine! Then, General Tang please greet the Marshal for me."

"It's easy to say, easy to say!" Tang Hu himself was a little embarrassed, but his face was dark, and it was not easy to see that he was red.

Several hours later, the main force of Liu Yuan's White Horse Battalion arrived, but these people brought a lot of supplies, and set up camp immediately, while distributing supplies, they took the time to rest.

Soldiers can rest, but Huo Zhensheng, the medical officer accompanying the army, is busy with all his feet. Liu Yuan brought some medicinal materials. From this point of view, Liu Yuan is also very careful, knowing what a defeated army needs most. This batch of medicinal materials can at least save the lives of quite a few soldiers.

Seeing Chen Zeyue being re-bandaged after taking the medicine, Tang Hu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After only resting for a few hours, the army went back on the road. Right now, they arrived at Baimadu a moment earlier, so they were safe a moment earlier.

"General Tang!" Liu Yuan walked over.

"What's the matter?" Tang Hu asked.

"General Tang, you, Captain Jin, and my younger brother Liu Shan will go ahead first. After I personally lead two thousand soldiers, the two thieves Zeng and Lu will not be far away from us. Maybe there will be a fierce battle!" Liu Yuan also made a quick decision. Now that you have made your choice, you might as well be a little more bachelor and more thorough in your loyalty. This time, you have really gambled your life and wealth. If Li Qing is safe, you will have the great service to save him. In the future, you will be rich and prosperous Indispensable, and with such an opportunity, maybe he will be cited as a confidant of the direct line.

"Okay!" Tang Hu nodded with emotion, thinking that Old Chen was still suspicious of the other party. Is this Liu Yuan really a man? Now that the Dingzhou Army looks like this, the other party is still so loyal. To persuade Lao Chen to apologize to the other party, everyone has a big drink together, and they will be brothers in life and death in the future. Tang Hu knows that their remnant army will join Liu Yuan in the future, and they will stick to Baimadu at least until next spring when the flowers bloom. At this time of thawing, in the past few months, I am afraid that there will be battles every day!
Contrary to everyone's expectations, the next journey was surprisingly smooth. The chasing army who had been chasing after him suddenly slowed down for some reason. When Tang Hu and others arrived at Baimadu, the chasing army was still a hundred miles away. , During this period of time, the other party has not advanced much.

Tang Hu and others who set foot on the precipitous fortress of Baimadu let out a long sigh of relief.

And a hundred miles away, Diemo knelt down in front of Naveu weeping bitterly. For some time now, under Neveu's frantic urging, the Bai cavalry has always been the vanguard, and they are always the first to fight with the guard battalion The troops must be them, the elite of the Bai nationality are indeed very powerful in combat, but in front of the personal guard battalion, they have missed a move. The gap determines life and death. Although they have caused great losses to the guards, the losses of the Bai people are even more astonishing. The 5000 Bai cavalry at the time of the rebellion are now only more than [-]. When ordering Demo to speed up, Demo knelt at Neveu's feet.

"Princess, let Lu's cavalry and Zeng's go first, our Bai clan only has this strength, if this continues, even if we kill Li Qing, we will be finished!"

Die Mo's disobedience bought some rare time for Tang Hu and others, and they boarded Baimadu safely.

Diemer, who had been whipped several times by Neveu, stubbornly refused to be this kind of pioneer for once, so Neveu had no choice but to slow down his pace of progress.
