Chapter 398: Presiding over the overall situation

The clouds blocked the scorching sun, and the shadows of clouds slowly swam across the foothills. Among the lush and swaying forests, the five thousand troops who were moving were ordered to stop nearby. Most of them sat under the shade of trees, exposed their necks and let the wind blow in, and closed their eyes comfortably, and gnawed dry food in clean water.

The patrolling Shenrui cavalry walked through the figures of drinking water and eating cakes everywhere. No one spoke during the whole process. The orders of the soldiers and generals to go to the battlefield were already known. The war was stalemate and would be over soon. It was somewhat nervous. Dachun, Dou Wei and other people in the martial arts world faced such a battlefield of up to 100,000 people for the first time.

After gaining weight for many years, Geng Dachun came over sweaty and took a bite of the cake and sat down next to Geng Qing: "Dazhu, we will also go there at that time?"

"The situation there has been improved temporarily, but it is really possible that it is not clear." Geng Qing stirred the pancake and poured it into his mouth and swallowed it. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Dachun: "At any time, the Geng family must not run away. After eating so many wealthy meals, he developed a greedy and fearfulness of death. If he dared to run away on the battlefield, I was the first to fight with a knife."

Dachun swallowed the pancake and shook his head quickly, "Absolutely not. I'm afraid of others..."

Dou Wei, who was holding the water bag in a few steps, looked serious, "I am the same as Dachun!"

Jiuyu looked at them and turned his face to the side. He was too lazy to argue with them. However, after leaving Weizhou, he was a little uneasy during the time he was on the way. He knew a little bit about the Khitans. The Central Plains and Taiyuan were basically all able to fight, and they fought like this. It can be seen that Yelu Abaoji is not so easy to deal with.

Over there, Geng Qing saw him eating pancakes silently, patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "If you can win miserably, there will be hope for a great victory. I believe the generals."

Jiuyu smiled with a pursed lips, and suddenly reached out to take out a small iron ball from her sleeve, and plucked something called lead with her fingertips.

"Excellent, our family rushed into the enemy's formation and gave him such a shot!"

Hahaha!

Everyone was amused by the eunuch's sudden words. In the next half hour, the generals were almost resting. The team set off again and went down the mountainside along the direction to Youzhou. In the afternoon, they arrived at the battlefield where they fought last night. The first one they met was the patrolling scout. They probably knew that they were friendly troops, so they divided up one person to walk in front and led the team to bypass the trap set up, and then safely went down to the foot of the mountain.

Through the forest, the burning smoke was still rising in the plains. What caught Geng Qing's eyes were huge red marks on the mottled fields, and many corpses were being scraped and dragged away by soldiers. The unowned war horses stayed in the harsh battlefield and wandered in front of the master's corpse, making waves of wail.

"I just couldn't feel it when I heard the information. Now I saw it with my own eyes and realized that the war last night was so tragic!" Geng Qing's expression was as usual, but he felt a little uncomfortable after all.

When you step into the field, you can smell the disgusting smell of blood.

The camps in the distance were almost completely destroyed, the fences around were broken and scattered all over the ground, the gate collapsed, the arrow towers on both sides were nailed with arrows, and the soldiers' bodies were hung upside down on them, and the wooden pillars below were burned by the fire.

Near the camp where he arrived, the injured soldier sat on the ground with a cloth strip wrapped around him, groping for the dry food left at his feet. Geng Qing quickly stepped forward and picked it up for him and put it in his hands where he was groping around.

His voice was choked.

"It made you suffer..."

The soldier didn't say anything, but just lowered his head and chewed the cake silently. There were many wounded soldiers like him, but they only hurt their eyes. This was a good result. When he entered the camp, the remaining tents could be heard everywhere. Half of the soldiers who had been burned off their bodies were wailing and asked their companions to give him a pleasure.

Some of the arms were also neatly broken, and the white broken bones could be seen spurting out the flesh. The most tragic thing was that the flesh on the thighs was separated from the bones, allowing the doctors in the army to peel off the flesh and blood bit by bit, and then cut off the broken part with a saw. Geng Qing stood at the tent and watched, but unfortunately the soldier did not support him. He bit a wooden stick and died of pain on the stretcher.

Gun

"Please him out and be buried with great pleasure." The military doctor took off the wooden stick from the soldier's mouth, closed his eyelids, waved at the soldiers beside him. He turned around and saw the figure at the tent look familiar. Suddenly he remembered who it was. He was about to salute, but Geng Qing shook his head and refused, asking him to pretend that he didn't see it and continued to treat the other wounded.

After a moment, another wounded soldier was carried in. As if he had met someone he knew, he greeted his comrades inside, causing some soldiers who were not seriously injured to whisper.

"How are the Khitans? Have you left?" "Not yet... Damn, I was ordered to inquire. Before I could leave two miles, I met the Khitan scout and was shot by the other party. Hiss, it hurts so much."

"Haha... You're lucky if you didn't get shot."

"Ha, how could the Khitans be better? When he saw me falling off a horse, he drew his sword and wanted to cut my head. I grabbed my arm and dragged it off the horse. He gave him a dagger to cool down!"

"Good! Wait until my injury is cured, and I will kill a few more then!"

At the entrance of the camp, Geng Qing listened quietly to these rude words, but instead felt that these were the best sounds in the world. After a while, he left with his emotions and went to other camps to check out. Soon, when he heard the news that King Yong came to the camp, Wang Yanzhang and Li Siyuan rushed over with a group of generals, and before they could see him.

Geng Qing raised his hand to interrupt, finally looked at the miserable situation inside, and said only: "Go back to the big tent." Then he turned around and walked to the front. He arrived at the tent and walked straight to the first place. He sat down behind the long case. The generals in the army, three generals belonging to Li Cunxu, also came in. After receiving the signing, he sat down with him. Even the wounded Shi Jingtang was supported by his personal soldiers and sat in the end.

"In the past, I always felt heroic and majestic on the battlefield. But today I walked around the wounded barracks and realized that there was no such majesty. These soldiers used their lives to pile up for you."

In the camp, Geng Qing spoke in a low voice, "It is a duty to join the army to eat food and go to the battlefield, but sometimes, when you see this scene, you feel heavy in your heart. After all, they are all alone here."

"But... I also saw the bravest group of people in the world, a group of generals and soldiers who are beyond life and death!"

"King Yong!"

Wang Yanzhang shook his beard and clasped his fists: "My generals and others joined the army for many years, and they followed their old masters to fight south and north. They have long been indifferent to life and death. If they fight with the Khitan, if they can be famous in history, they will not be in vain!"

"Bastard!"

Geng Qing laughed, took a random thing from the long desk and threw it over, and said with a smile: "Gu Ke doesn't want you to die. Good days are still behind. Gu Ke wants you to have a lot of children and grandchildren. If you die here, that's Gu's fault! Anyway... With you, the brave and war-friendly people, what is the Khitans?"

"Think of a bird!" Shi Jingtang said something behind, which made the generals burst into laughter. Li Siyuan looked at the first King Yong and smiled, diluting the sorrow in the camp a little.

When King Yong came to the battlefield, the heavy stones in the hearts of the generals finally loosened a little. Perhaps the military strategy was not good, but King Yong had been in the court for many years, from a commoner to a noble title today, and had been going through several dynasties but not falling. If it was said that it was all based on luck, no one believed it. Since he was here in Youzhou, he was naturally prepared.

Everyone suddenly felt that with King Yong in charge, everything would be easier.

"In the battle with the Khitan, the last general and others all followed the instructions of King Yong!"
