Fu Song

Chapter 240
There seemed to be endless enemies rushing towards him in front of him, even if he was as strong as Xiao Ding, he was just waving the knife in his hand mechanically at this moment.

The Zhanma Dao was broken, and half of the blade went to nowhere. At this moment, he was holding the half-cut blade in one hand, and the dark saber in the other.

I don't know how many people have been beheaded by this saber, but there is no trace of blood on the blade.

When the knife went down, there was no trace of blood.

The horse's forward speed became slower and slower.

Xiao Ding knew that this battle would be difficult, but he did not expect that it would be so difficult.

Blind medicine is working hard.

Mu Zhan is also desperate.

Now Mu Zhan divided half of the last two thousand guards around him to intercept Xiao Ding.

And this was the decision he made after Abahai died in battle in front of him alive.

If they lose today, it will be even more difficult if they want to make a comeback.

Of the [-] armored and heavy cavalry, there were no more than [-] of them who were still following Xiao Ding.

Only by moving forward can there be victory.

Only by moving forward can there be a way to survive.

Any stagnation is a surrender to King Yama.

When Xiao Ding only felt that the knife in his hand was getting heavier and heavier, there was a sudden light in front of him, and the knife mechanically swung out in his hand cut an empty space.

There are no more enemies in sight.

He finally beat the enemy line.

At this time, Xiao Ding was as embarrassed as he was.

The red cherry on the helmet disappeared, half of the shoulder armor was cut off, and the heavy armor on his body was even more scarred.

His body was already numb, and he couldn't feel the slightest pain.

The blood on the nail leaf dripped down.

Throwing away half of the broken blade, Xiao Ding tore off his helmet and looked up. Just less than a hundred steps ahead, his enemy stood under the red lion banner.

Wood accounting, blind medicine.

Xiao Ding laughed loudly, pointed forward with one arm, and roared like a thunderbolt: "Mu Zhan, blind medicine, your grandpa Xiao is here, take your life!"

With the legs clamping the horse's belly, the horse started to accelerate again, even though the horse was panting like a cow at this time.

Less than two hundred armored heavy cavalry who were also bloody and stabbed raised their knives together and shouted in unison.

The heavy rider rumbled and came crushed.

Although he didn't have the same speed as when he first charged, his killing intent was stronger than before.

Mu Zhan is timid!

Blind Yao is scared!

At this moment, the two unexpectedly made the same move at the same time.

The two of them reined in their horses and retreated towards the rear.

There were obviously at least two or three thousand cavalry beside the two of them, but at this moment, they did not have the courage to fight to the death with their opponents.

Of course, what they have to face is not only Xiao Ding and his remaining two hundred heavy cavalry, but also the iron kites that come out from behind them in an endless stream.

The two powerhouses met and fought desperately. At the critical moment, the coach of one side ran away.

The collapse of the Tubo cavalry took place less than half a stick of incense after it was confirmed that the two leaders, Mu Zhan and Xia Yao, had escaped.

Countless cavalry fled in all directions.

Xiao Ding stood at the place where Mu Zhan and Xia Yao were commanding the battle, watching the red lion flag flee wildly. After fleeing, a group of people and horses were divided into two groups, one on the left and one on the right.

Of course, Mu Zhan and Blind Yao parted ways.

"Cowardless bastard!" Xiao Ding wiped the blood from his face, and looked at the two fleeing contemptuously.

If you run away, you will run away for a lifetime!
Xiao Ding will not give the two any chance to make a comeback.

These two people clearly knew what the consequences would be, but they didn't dare to fight Xiao Ding in such a decisive battle.

Since you are cherishing your life, then you will have no choice but to flee here and there and become a gangster. You may still have headaches, but you will not have the ability to shake the overall situation.

A random member of the army is enough to drive them to the end of the world.

He casually stopped a passing iron kite, and Xiao Ding shouted loudly: "Go and tell Commander Xin, the main thing is to hunt down blind medicine."

"Yes, sir!" Tie Yaozi agreed and galloped away.

The overall situation has been decided, and the remaining thing is to see how many victories can be harvested.

Five hundred heavy cavalry followed Xiao Ding to charge, and now only one hundred and eighty-one of them were standing on the beam with Xiao Ding, and the rest fell on the way of the charge.

Xiao Ding bent down and picked up a handful of clean white snow from the ground, and vigorously wiped a few handfuls on his face, the biting coldness suppressed the tears that were about to fall from his eyes.

"Win, win!" Yuzang Huama galloped over, got off his horse, almost scrambled and ran in front of Xiao Ding, took off his helmet and hugged it in his arms, and looked at the bloody Xiao Ding with admiration. Ding: "Boss, this battle will surely determine the situation in Qingtang. You are the new king of Qingtang."

"Nonsense!" Xiao Ding snorted: "Under the whole world, is it the land of the king, the shore of the land, and the ministers of the king? Every piece of land we conquered belongs to the dynasty, and every glory belongs to the kingdom." It all belongs to the official family!"

"Yes yes yes! Belongs to the imperial court, belongs to the official family!" Yuzang Huama nodded with a smile, but whether it was the court or the official family, in his heart, he didn't have the slightest weight. There is no awe in everything, but the man in front of him is enough to make him admire him.

"What are you talking about here? Why don't you rush to capture the prisoners? You are a Tubo nobleman, and you are very attractive to these defeated Tubo cavalry. If you can recruit more, you can recruit more!" Xiao Ding drove away unceremoniously. With Yu Zanghuama.

"The last general will go here!" Yuzang Huama nodded happily.

It was strange to say that Xiao Ding was not polite to him, driving him like cattle and sheep, but Yuzang Huama felt more at ease and worked harder.

When Tuoba made his way to the beam, Xiao Ding had already taken off his heavy armor and was sitting on the saddle, wiping the blood on his body with a cloth towel.At this moment, Tuoba Yangwei's body was also covered with blood, obviously, he had also gone through a fierce battle.

"Today's battle, it's a bit of a fluke to win!" Tuoba raised his voice with lingering fears, if Xiao Ding hadn't killed the enemy army today, scaring away Blind Yao and Mu Zhan, it is really unknown who will win the battle.

"You think it's a fluke, but I think it's inevitable!" Xiao Ding stood up and laughed loudly: "Whether it's wood Zhan or blind medicine, even though the decisive battle is imminent, but still thinking about it, knowing that today If they are not victorious, they will never recover, but they don’t even dare to lead their troops to charge, and they don’t even have the determination to succeed if they don’t win, how can they be invincible?”

Looking at Xiao Ding, who is so energetic and even a bit arrogant at this time, Tuoba Yangwei is also extremely heartbroken. This is a natural leader. When he stands here, the soldiers under his command will burst out from their hearts to win Confidence.

"But manager, I don't want to encounter such a battle again in the future." Tuoba said with a smile.

"It's hard for you to meet!" Xiao Ding laughed, "Whether it's Qingtang or the Western Regions we are about to march into, who doesn't have the ability to organize tens of thousands of cavalry to fight against us? Well, there is Yelvhuan on the other side of Montenegro, but that old man, dare to fight alone with me?"

"Boss, I have ordered that all troops should only pursue the enemy before dark, and after dark, all troops must withdraw." Tuoba said arrogantly.

"That's right!" Xiao Ding stretched out his hand to catch a few snowflakes falling from the sky, and said, "It seems that the weather will be a little colder tonight, those Tibetans who have lost their supplies and have no tents to shelter from the wind and snow Cavalrymen, I’m afraid many of them will freeze to death, let the soldiers go out and contain them tomorrow! Save as many as you can!”

Tuoba nodded vigorously: "Boss, this time the Tubo people gathered, their tribal family members must be around here, without men, these old and weak women and children will definitely not be able to survive this winter, do you want to save them too? "

Xiao Ding laughed loudly: "Of course we have to save, Xingling, Hehuang, these places are all fertile lands, now I only worry about the lack of people, I'm not afraid of the crowds, I can take back as many as I can, when I leave, Zhang Yuan has repeatedly urged me to get more people to go back and enrich these places! No matter how good the land is, if no one cultivates it, it will be barren!"

Tuoba laughed knowingly.

Whether it is to let the Dangxiang in Hengshan go down the mountain, or to gather many tribes north of Hengshan, or to recruit those Song people who cannot survive locally in the south of Hengshan, or to move a large number of captured Tubo people to Xingling this time. In fact, the land of Hehuang and Hehuang has only one purpose, to enrich these places as much as possible, so as to strengthen their own strength faster.

Population is the most basic thing to measure the strength of a place.

With people, there will be more food, more workshops, more output, and more fighters.

On the leeward side of this mountain ridge, the Song army set up a camp. After Xiao Ding's Chinese army banner was erected, the second camp erected was the Wounded Army Camp.One after another, the wounded soldiers were retrieved from the messy battlefield and transported back to the wounded soldiers' battalion.

Of course, if the injury is serious, the simplest operation for the soldiers is to make up for it, so that this person who can't be saved at all can go away more happily.

One after another, the camps were gradually lit up.

Pile after pile of bonfires were lit.

Soldier after troop came back from afar.

The laughter became louder and louder, accompanied by bursts of food aroma floating in the wind.

Some soldiers began to dance around the fire.

Xin Jian dismounted from his horse, walked through joyful crowds, and came straight to Xiao Ding's Chinese army camp.

"Come back, come and drink a bowl of hot wine to get rid of the cold!" Xiao Ding smiled and waved.

Sitting down beside Xiao Ding, Xin Jian drank several sips of the warm wine before he said, "Boss, according to your intention, the blind medicine was finally let go. He's caught!"

"What can we do if we catch him? Send him to Bianliang to ask for a reward?" Xiao Ding chuckled: "One is not good, and the court will say that we are good at provoking frontiers and provoking war. They have always felt that As soldiers, we hope to start a war so that we can be rewarded for our meritorious service.”

"They know nothing!" Xin Jian sneered: "The chief manager's battle can be said to have brought peace to the northwestern part of the country for decades, blind medicine, Mu Zhan, they invaded the border of our Emperor Song Dynasty at every turn, looting the border areas Every one of the common people is heavily indebted with blood."

"But the imperial court has no interest in directly bringing this piece of land under management. They think it's purely a loss-making business." Xiao Ding sighed: "So I can only let them go, and then set up here. As long as the Mu Zhan and the blind medicine are still in the Duhu Mansion, Yu Zang can only rely on us. If we really want to kill these two, and Yu Zang Huama's family dominates, that would not be beautiful."

Xin Jian nodded: "I understand. But the manager, now that we have taken down Qingtang, Mu Zhan and Blind Medicine can no longer be successful in a short time, why do we let Li Xu go? I think this person If you don't kill it sooner or later, it will be a disaster."

"By his hand, we took down Qingtang and completely defeated Muzhan and Blind Medicine. Next, of course we have to force him to run to the Western Regions. We follow him so that we can have an excuse to take all the countries in the Western Regions one by one. Come down." Xiao Ding's eyes shone brightly.

Xin Jian chuckled: "This guy is a disaster now, wherever he goes, he will be unlucky."

"Let him run over there to catch his breath for a while, and let him seduce a few small countries there, so that we can find an excuse!" Xiao Ding said with a smile: "Xin Jian, next year, you and He Zheng will be together. Let’s attack the Western Regions together.”

"What do you want He Zheng to do? Just have our iron kite. They come and go like the wind. They follow, it's a burden!"

"How can the light cavalry be successful?" Xiao Ding glanced at him: "There are also large and dangerous cities in the Western Regions, and we are not going to plunder and leave, but to take root and sprout. The cavalry attacked on the move. The infantry garrisoned the pass and the main points of connection, and then organized more servants to snowball towards the west. Xin Jian, it's huge over there!"

"It's all ours!" Xin Jian raised his neck, took a sip of wine, and said loudly.

Xiao Ding laughed loudly: "That's right, it's all ours. Wherever our horses appear and where our flags are planted, that's ours!"

The wind became stronger, and heavy snow like goose feathers flew down. The battlefield where countless people's blood was shed during the day was soon covered by freshly fallen snowflakes. Blood, countless deaths, never existed.

Teams of cavalry set off from the camp and searched all around. When they returned, they were always chained with teams of half-dead captives behind them.

In more than ten days, the Song army established nearly ten prisoner camps, and tens of thousands of prisoners were held in each prisoner camp.

There are not only strong fighters, but also a large number of old and weak women and children.

Many captives were captured by the Song army from the entire tribe.

Xiao Ding didn't mind taking precious food to support these old and weak women and children, because the existence of these people could make those able-bodied captives be honest.Similarly, after bringing them back, these people can also make these strong men put down their knives and guns and pick up hoes.

"It's time to go!" When the last prisoner camp was also filled, Xiao Ding took a letter and said to Tuoba Yangwei, Xin Jian and the others: "A letter from Zhang Yuan, our comfort envoy on Shaanxi Road has changed."
