I’m The King Chapter 419: : War song to send comrades
Gao Yuan was sitting on the wreckage of a large cart, with a bed crossbow leaning on his back. Mo Dao had been thrown aside by him long ago, and he was panting heavily, with his hands spread wide, Trying to make himself as comfortable as possible, he almost lost his strength. (Pingnan Literature Network)
The bright sun shone warmly on his body, and also sprinkled the light on the Shura-like battlefield. It is a strong smell of blood.
However, the Zhengdong Army who was cleaning the battlefield didn't care, because their noses could no longer smell the smell. After such a few hours, the nerves are also numb.
Gao Yuan blinked and looked at the sun in the sky, not bothering to move a finger. Even though he only took two glances, his eyes became sour and tears almost fell down, but he still tried his best to see clearly the true appearance of the sun in the blazing light.
Although the eyes are fixed on the sun, the thoughts have already flown elsewhere.
Why did the Central Route Army march forward triumphantly all the way, but I suffered such a strong blow here, and it was Thorpe's confidant General Allendale who came? If Thorpe is eliminating dissidents and massacring his brother's direct line, shouldn't a cronies like Alun Dai stay in Helin to help him?
It doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense.
Unless Thorpe has the confidence to win, but where does his confidence come from? Didn't the previous information say that Suoke also got the support of several chiefs?
Thorpe has Miranda's support, but Miranda has already turned his back, and his death is like a lamp being extinguished. Once he dies, the things that were previously set may not be finalized. But why is Thorpe so confident, unless, unless Miranda is not dead!
Gao Yuan sat up suddenly, if Miranda hadn't died. What is the situation now? A dense layer of sweat immediately appeared on his head.
No way. It shouldn't be like this. Zhou Yuan is not a fool, he has no definite information. How could he be so aggressive? Maybe I was worrying too much.
Sun Xiao walked over with a heavy face, without speaking, and sat down on Gao Yuan's side.
"Has the casualty statistics of our army come out?" Gao Yuan asked.
"General, the Chinese army has been maimed." Sun Xiao said in a low voice, "Five hundred and eighty-three people were killed, three hundred and seventy-two were seriously injured, and almost all of them were slightly injured. Less than 800 people participated in the battle. General, this battle is a big loss."
Gao Yuan snorted, "Have you lost a lot? Sun Xiao, we used to fight smooth battles before. We encountered very few hard problems. The Donghu army we fought before were all small tribes. The battle will become more and more difficult to fight. This is only Tieling touch, and there are even more powerful palace guards, that is the essence of Donghu people. In this battle, we defeated and killed at the cost of more than a thousand people. Five thousand Donghu iron cavalry, and without relying on a solid city wall, this is a great victory. If the Chinese army is disabled, let it be disabled. I will make up for you in the future. Those soldiers who were injured but not dead will build for you in the future. Build a stronger Chinese army."
"It's just a little sad. General, in this battle, more than 90% of the grassroots officers of the Chinese army were killed or injured. They are all old faces!" Sun Xiao's voice was a little choked up. The lower-level officers of the Fufeng Army have always had the highest casualties, but as long as they survive, they will stand out one by one. For example, Wang Yi, who is currently guarding Baokang, and Tang Ming, who is in Yingkou, are all employed step by step from the lowest level. The enemy's head is piled up with your own blood.
Looking not far away, the Zhengdong Army is arranging the remains of the dead brothers neatly one by one. However, he still couldn't make himself truly hard-hearted.
One will be successful, and only now can he truly understand the meaning of this sentence.
There was a rumble of hooves in the distance, and He Lanxiong and others appeared in front of everyone's eyes immediately, and the cavalry battalion of the Zhengdong Army rushed in like the wind. After the infantry surrounded and defeated the Tieling cavalry, He Lanxiong's cavalry battalion was to complete the last task of herding sheep.
"General Gao!" He Lanxiong got off his horse and strode up to Gao Yuan.
"Brother He Lan, how are you? Have you got Alundai's head?" I have never encountered it again. This battle was indeed too bitter, and I almost lost my strength.
He Lanxiong had a look of shame on his face, "General Gao, Alun Dai, let him run away. He finally ran away with a dozen of his own soldiers!"
Hearing that Alundai slipped away from his Wuzhi Mountain once in a while, Gao Yuan was taken aback, "This Alundai belongs to Xiaoqiang, so he can escape? It's amazing."
He Lanxiong smiled awkwardly, "This idiot swapped his clothes with a little soldier, I chased that soldier and beat him up, and after I caught him, that kid ran away It’s gone and I’m not chasing.”
"It's okay, it's okay!" Gao Yuan patted He Lanxiong comfortingly, "This kid ran away and ran away, and he couldn't make any big waves. He also slipped past me once in the Tuotuo River last time. This kid I don’t have the ability to do it, but the ability to escape is first-rate, and I will kill him next time I meet him.”
He Lanxiong's face relaxed a little, "But except for that Alundai who escaped, the five thousand cavalrymen in Tieling were basically buried here, and only one or two of them escaped."
"After defeating Alundai, we finally opened the way to Yulin." Speaking of this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, "I just don't know what happened to Shubao. Lundai's Tieling tribe is similar to Donghu people, I'm afraid his side will be extremely difficult to break through!"
Although the soldiers of Liaoxi County are strong, they still have a gap compared to their own army that conquers the East. It is also the first time for Zhang Shubao to lead a large army, and he is not experienced enough. too far.
"Although General Shubao is young, his subordinates Huang Desheng and Lu Hong are all old men on the battlefield. They are close, and when the time comes, the Donghu people in front of him will retreat without a fight. Otherwise, if the Central Route Army makes their dumplings, it will be a mess." Meng Chong came from behind and said with a smile . "General Gao, we have gained a lot in this battle. Not to mention anything else. We have seized thousands of horses alone, and we have passed this way. Our infantry can even climb on horseback."
"But my central army also suffered heavy losses!" Sun Xiao's face darkened. This time, the central army was used as bait and was beaten into such a state that it almost lost its combat effectiveness. The next battle will be on the sidelines.
"Old Sun, I will send you five hundred people from the Right Route Army!" Hundreds of people have recovered their fighting power, General Gao, how do you think?"
"Since the right army has replenished 500 people, my left army will also replenish 500 people for the central army!" Meng Chong said, "In this way, the Chinese army can almost recover its combat effectiveness."
"That's fine!" Gao Yuan nodded, as he had planned to do so before. It's rare that Zheng Xiaoli and Meng Chong are both generous, which makes him feel a lot better.
"General Gao, what should we do next?" Sun Xiao felt relieved, and turned to look at Gao Yuan, "Taiwei Zhou set a time limit for us and asked us to arrive in Yulin on time."
"Brother He Lan, take the cavalry battalion first!" Gao Yuan waved his hand, "I'm always a little uneasy. These days, my right eye keeps twitching, my left eye twitches, and my right eye twitches. This is not a good sign."
One sentence made several generals laugh out loud, the murderous general actually believed in such nonsense, no one would believe him when he said it.
"He Lanxiong took your cavalry to the outskirts of Yulin, the main force will rest for a while, let's have a look!" Gao Yuan turned his head and looked in the direction of Liaoning Wei, "Zhou Taiwei's main force of the Chinese army is running too fast, I don't know how many troops he left behind in Panshan? If something happens to Panshan, the main force of his 100,000 Chinese army will have nowhere to retreat."
"Zhou Yuan is also a guy who has fought old battles. Although his character is not good, but he left a way for himself, and we don't know it yet. We don't need to worry about him." Sun Xiao said to Zhou Yuan really didn't like it at all. "Our Yulin is not easy to fight. Alundai has suffered a big loss this time. After escaping back, he must be more careful. It will be difficult for him to be fooled again."
"Dogs change grandchildren to eat shit!" Meng Chong said with a smile: "People like Alundai, the more they fail, the more they want to win back. So, we still have a chance. If he really shrinks If we are in Yulin City, that would be a good thing, we can fight around and use our own strengths to attack the other's weaknesses, what a pleasure!"
Gao Yuan nodded, "Meng Chong's words are reasonable. The most terrifying thing about cavalry is their maneuverability. It would be a good thing if Alundai stayed in Yulin City and couldn't come out. Let's go, Xiao Yanzi is already there Get ready, let's send the brothers who died in battle for the last time!"
In the center of the battlefield, Yan Haibo commanded the soldiers to cut down countless firewood, and piled them into firewood piles. On the firewood piles, the remains of soldiers who died in battle were neatly stacked. with. The Eastern Zheng Army could not take their remains back, but their ashes must be brought back.
Thousands of infantry from the Eastern Expedition Army surrounded the dozens of firewood piles and stood upright. All the cavalrymen of He Lanxiong's cavalry battalion also dismounted and led their horses. Comrades of life.
Gao Yuan held the torch and walked up to a woodpile, looking at the faces that were still alive yesterday, with a sad expression on his face.
"Brothers, go home! He shouted loudly, held out the torch, and lit some piles.
"Brothers, go all the way, go home!" Go to the second pyre and light it.
Amidst the shouts, the firewood piles were lit one by one.
With a torch in hand, Gao Yuan retreated to the front of the queue.
"Follow the flag!" Sun Xiao shouted loudly.
With a bang, all the battle flags of the Zhengdong Army fell down, and the direction of the flag head was the dozen or so burning fires.
"Take off your helmet!"
All the soldiers, including Gao Yuan, reached out and took off the armor on their heads and hugged them in their arms.
"Battle Song, Arise!"
The direction of the long knife is directed at the hometown of my Dayan;
The setting sun flows like blood on our journey;
The hunting of banners calls for the drums of forging ahead;
The yellow sand can't stop the footsteps of the warriors;
Da Yan has many strong men since ancient times, who can be killed but not humiliated;
Loyalty and filial piety have been difficult since ancient times, tearful farewell to parents;
So! Xiang! No! Enemy! My! Army! Wei! Wu!
The blood-stained battle robe is the most beautiful clothes for men;
The shroud of horse leather is the home of heroes;
Swords and guns pick the heads of the enemies;
The chariot rolls over the bones of the barbarians;
No one in life has died since ancient times, and the loyalty is as in the history books;
Offender! Strong! Swallow! Those who! Although! Far! Must! Punish!
