Chapter 35 Battle of Banqiao

The battle was completely over at Chen Shi.Except for a light cavalry who had not been engaged in combat and was sent to pursue Liu Jing who had fled, a large number of Jin troops in small groups of ten or twenty were distributed on the narrow plain among the mountains to clean up the battlefield.They carefully searched every side of the land, picking up arrows and abandoned swords, and some soldiers even stripped the clothes that were still intact from the corpses.During the search, the wounded were sometimes found dying.If the injured were from the Jin Dynasty, they would receive basic medical treatment such as a bowl of hot soup; if the injured were from the Huns, most of the soldiers killed him with a single knife.

Many other Xi people and Jie people who surrendered were ordered to gather in a depression. Although they were fighting with weapons not long ago, at this moment, it seems that they are just herdsmen and farmers with dull faces.Perhaps a Jie man wanted to relieve himself, so he sneaked towards the bushes outside the depression, and was spotted immediately.The soldiers of the Jin army holding long spears shouted and cursed loudly, and the Jie people retreated step by step in front of the point of the spear, explaining something non-stop, with an embarrassed and flattering smile on their faces.

On one side of the depression, the cavalry in armored riding gear were being repaired.The heavy cavalry experienced repeated attacks, and both men and horses were extremely tired.After many cavalry staggered off their horses, they immediately collapsed to the ground, while the auxiliary soldiers were busy dismantling their armor.

Ding Miao sat naked on an unloaded saddle, and the medical officer behind him was pulling out an arrow cluster that penetrated deeply from his right shoulder, and patted a ball of black paste herbs to seal it. wound.Although he had a heavy armor for self-defense, he was still wounded in more than ten places, and his whole body was bruised, which shocked all the observers.His armor was thrown at his feet, soaked in too many layers of blood, almost turning red; some armor plates even had torn muscles from the enemy hanging on the edges.This young general who likes to talk and laugh on weekdays turned into an iron armored beast in the bloody battle just now, recklessly taking the lives of the barbarians, and there was no one in the gallop.Those barbarian captives looked at him with a look of deep fear in their eyes, which is enough to show his bravery.

The medical officer's herbal medicine was very effective, and the cool feeling of the medicine seeping into the wound made Ding Miao feel so comfortable that he almost sighed.He relaxed his body and leaned down to look around. Everywhere he saw the victorious soldiers laughed and laughed, except for Lu Yao.He stood with his arms around his shoulders, as if he was looking at something from afar.

Yue Shigong's old subordinates had some criticisms about the fact that this young general had been promoted for the first time.Some colleagues whispered behind their backs, saying that this person is a so-called sycophant. His temperament is as impatient as Liu Yanzhe even came forward to provoke him.However, Ding Miao fought side by side with Lu Yao just now, and witnessed Lu Yao's bravery in charging and his vision of judging the situation on the battlefield.With such talent, he is a brave general in the army everywhere, so how can he be a sycophant?What a joke.

Thinking of this, Ding Miao raised his voice and called out: "General Lu! Brother Daoming! Our army has won a great victory, why are you so preoccupied? Are you thinking about some sao girl somewhere? Hahaha——"

Just as he was laughing heartily, Lu Yao suddenly turned his head, with a fierce gleam in his eyes.

Although Ding Miao was the one who rolled out of the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood, under Lu Yao's gaze, he felt as if a stream of ice water was pouring down his spine.His laughter suddenly stagnated, and he hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Come on slowly! Brother Daoming, I was just joking, why take it seriously..."

Fortunately, Lu Yao's anger was suppressed as soon as it was fired, and he returned to his calm and composed look in the blink of an eye.He smiled apologetically, and said slowly: "General Ding, I'm sorry. To tell you the truth, I'm feeling emotional and emotional."

"It's okay, it's okay." Ding Miao laughed, showing a very interested look: "Brother Daoming is very familiar with this place? I don't know what kind of scenery you are touching? What kind of feelings are there?"

Lu Yao didn't expect that Ding Miao was a familiar character. He was silent for a moment, and then slowly replied: "Of course I know him well. I once fought against the Huns here."

He took a deep breath, then exhaled deeply, unconsciously clasped his palms tightly, and made a rattling sound: "Lu was originally the military leader under General Nie Xuan of the Bingzhou Army. Our army lost the battle with the Xiongnu a month ago. , Tens of thousands of horses were defeated. Our troops gathered defeated soldiers along the road, fought and retreated, and moved over many mountains to the party."

"At that time, Ma Teng of the Dongying Company was in charge of Huguan, and there were still more than [-] elite soldiers under his command, and the key points along the way were under control. We rushed hundreds of miles in the mountains without sleep, thinking that we would meet the corresponding soldiers when we arrived here. I went outside the mountain, but I didn't see a single soldier... I found out later that Sima Teng was as cowardly as a chicken. The barbarian cavalry has already chased them from the main road. They split into three groups and rushed out from here, here and here..." Lu Yao pointed to several hills in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "The barbarians are coming very fiercely. It cut our army into a few sections where we couldn't look at each other from head to toe...but our army rose up to resist, one after another, the whole ground was stained red with blood."

"While we were fighting to the death, we hurried south along the Zhuozhang River... That's right, it's the same path that everyone has traveled in the past few days, but in the opposite direction. The enemy troops are almost all cavalry, and we can't get rid of them anyway. Drive them away. Along the way, fierce fighting took place in every mile. During the period, there were no fewer than dozens of battles, and 23 times of breaking through the enemy's interception. More than [-]% of the brothers were killed and wounded; people, [-] people above a centurion, and countless ordinary soldiers!"

Lu Yao took a deep breath, trying to calm down his excited mood.He tried his best to tell himself that what he described just now was just a historical fact that had already happened in the long river of history, just like a few records in an ancient book, it was not worth getting excited about, but his emotions were completely unaffected by reason, which made him full of complaints Impulsive, the voice of speaking became high-pitched.

The laughter around gradually subsided, and the soldiers gathered around to listen: "In an ancient village not far from Huguan, we were finally surrounded by enemy troops. The soldiers fought to the death and resisted for three days and two nights. The enemy's corpses piled up like a mountain! It was really a tragic and bloody battle... In the end, only three people escaped from the battlefield. Time passed by, and the traces left by the battle had disappeared, and the corpses of the soldiers Scattered everywhere, eaten by wild beasts, and can no longer be seen."

Lu Yao gradually choked up: "Those who died were all soldiers from Bingzhou. I can name many of them, know where their hometowns are, and who are in their families. Their trust in me is as strong as I put my trust in them. I was able to lead this team to the top, but in the end..."

A strong palm patted Lu Yao's shoulder, and Xue Tong's voice rang in his ears: "Why should Daoming blame himself? Put yourself in the shoes of others, no one can do better."

Ding Miao wrung his fingers and muttered words, as if he was secretly evaluating the battle Lu Yao described.After a while, he said with deep emotion: "General Xue is right. It is not easy for Daoming to be able to do this when the general situation is corrupt. However, the past is over, and those who come can still be chased. Now that the lord is in Bingzhou, the situation It will definitely change. As long as we work together, we will finally be able to eradicate the murderer, and the Paoze brothers will take revenge."

All the people around him echoed in unison, and their voices were heard far away in the north wind howling across the battlefield.

After being silent for a long time, Lu Yao rubbed his cheeks vigorously with both hands, and nodded slightly: "Thank you for your explanation."

His heart seems to have calmed down, and he has regained his usual stern demeanor: "Since serving the country in the army, he has long been aware of dying in battle, but Lu Mou thought too much for a while. I only hope that the frontier will be stabilized as soon as possible, so that Li Shu can live and work in peace and contentment; if there are soldiers in Beihai , Le Shi Yanran, enough to comfort the martyrs."

Xue Tong nodded heavily: "It should be so!"

The three of them were chatting, and a loud voice sounded in the distance.The sun was falling near noon, illuminating Liu Kun's handsome flag moving slowly.Wherever they went, the soldiers cheered and cheered, and everyone waved their hands to salute their commander.Although he was on the battlefield, Liu Kun didn't wear any armor, but wore a luxurious white brocade robe, with only an ancient long sword hanging from his waist, as if he was a wealthy official traveling.If someone else dressed up like this, it would definitely look out of tune with the chilling atmosphere of the military.However, Liu Kun's clothes like this just set off his tall and straight figure, as if full of strength and confidence to win.

As an officer who is well versed in the art of war, Lu Yao clearly understood how sophisticated Liu Kun's military skills were in the battle just now, and how precise his judgment of the enemy was.Today's current situation seems to be in troubled times. Only such a character has the charm of making soldiers die; only such a character can bear the important task of stabilizing the world of Jin!

"I have been following the lord for more than five years, and I have witnessed with my own eyes what it means to be victorious in battle, and it is the same when I go out of town and state. My lord has never disappointed us, never in the past, and never in the future! Just watch, Hu People don't have a few days to live!" Ding Miao said confidently.

Lu Yao and Xue Tong nodded heavily.

As Ding Miaoru said, Liu Kun did not disappoint any of his subordinates: in the next few days, the rule of the Huns in northern Bingzhou collapsed like an avalanche.First, Liu Kun personally led the Qingqi to chase the rest of the Huns overnight, and smashed them [-] miles away from Jinyang, beheading more than [-] people, and seized the armor and weapons.The barbarian wolf rushed to Zhitu, Liu Jing escaped by chance, and went to Lishi Shanyu court only by escaping himself.Liu Kun's soldiers came to the outside of Jinyang City, and sent troops to attack from all sides.The Xiongnu guard in the city still wants to resist, but how can he resist the powerful tiger and wolf army?Jinyang, the frontier fortress city, went down with a drum.

The power of the Xiongnu in the north of Shanxi was weak, and after Liu Jing's troops were wiped out, their strength was even more stretched. There were often no more than a hundred defenders in many cities around Jinyang.Liu Kun took advantage of the victory and swung his army to attack in all directions. Wherever he went, the Hu people fled in embarrassment.In a blink of an eye, half of Bingzhou has returned to the rule of the Jin court.

Liu Kun had only been in Bingzhou for ten days, but he defeated a powerful enemy and conquered the famous city with his hands. Since then, his reputation has grown and he has become a powerful force that the Huns cannot underestimate.
