Cheng Chumo dismounted his horse and walked slowly, crossing a low bush. The world in front of him seemed to open up all of a sudden. The blue sky extended to the end of the earth, and thatch that was half a man tall covered the rugged earth tightly.
, there are no birds singing here, and there are no animals here. The entire hillside is filled with a strong smell of blood. Even the crows who like to eat carrion stay far away from this place of death.
Pushing aside the tangled grass, a young body that had long since lost its life was lying on its back in the grass. A wolf-fang arrow penetrated his throat, forever fixing his life in the most beautiful years. The wolf fangs on the arrow clusters were also
A piece of it was broken, seemingly mocking Cheng Chumo's incompetence.
Going further, the thatch on the ground was trampled to pieces, and there were more corpses. They were all naked Tang soldiers. Those Turks who killed them not only killed them, but also stripped them.
their clothes.
There were no survivors, a total of twelve people, which was the number of people in the group.
Cheng Chumo started looking for this group of missing soldiers in the morning, but he didn't find them until the afternoon. Unfortunately, they were all dead.
They are all his brothers in life and death, and his subordinates were still joking with him before the patrol last night, saying that after returning to Chang'an, they would be invited to Yunzhuang to eat the most delicious food in the world, drink the most fragrant wine, and then go to Yanlai
Looking for the most beautiful singer.
Each corpse opened its eyes wide and stared intently at the blue sky. Perhaps they wanted to remember the last beautiful scene in this world.
War makes a person mature very quickly, just like Cheng Chumo. He did not show any irritability or special sadness. He just closed the eyes of his brothers one by one, and then, together with the others, dug a big hole with an engineering shovel.
Bury them together without erecting a monument, and there is no need to erect a monument. If they die here, no one will come to pay their respects.
There are crows flying in the distance, and the faint sound of horse hooves can be heard. This is the Turkic people bringing their children to watch their glorious achievements. This is how they teach and pass on from generation to generation.
The corners of Cheng Chumo's mouth turned up, finally able to vent some of the pain in his chest.
Baierfeng Yiqi quietly disappeared on the hillside.
A group of Turks shouted loudly, calling for the children on horseback to follow quickly. They were wearing the standard leather armor of the Tang Army and holding sharp swords in their hands. They kept showing off to their companions how brave they were. The Tang Army
How vulnerable he was, the dirt on his face became the most ferocious mask at this time.
When they dismounted and saw no body but a new grave, the leading Turk suddenly shouted, and all the Turks ran towards their horses, trying to leave this dangerous area as quickly as possible.
Just now, I was so proud that I forgot the ancestral teaching, don't leave your horse easily... It was too late, Cheng Chumo put down his mask, like a devil in hell, without a bow and arrow, he wanted to use the horizontal knife in his hand to avenge his fallen comrades.
The Turk's fang arrows could not penetrate his armor and could not even leave a mark. His horizontal knife easily cut off the Turk's scimitar and cut off a large piece of shoulder muscle. He was still not satisfied.
, when passing the Turkic man, he raised his sword horizontally and relied on the speed of his horse to cut off the Turkic man's head.
This was a battle without suspense. One hundred and twenty-one warriors defeated dozens of Turks on the opposite side with just one charge. The remaining old Turk knelt down and begged Cheng Chumo, hoping that he could let him go.
Dozens of children behind him.
Cheng Chumo didn't even hesitate. He chopped off the old Turk's head with one knife, and blood flowed into the air. The remaining Turks, including the child, actually raised their scimitars in their hands and killed them. Their dirty little faces were filled with tears.
Fearful and ferocious, it's a pity that their fragile bodies cannot block the sharp horizontal knives.
The corpses on the ground, old and young, thick and slender, were all arranged by Cheng Chumo and others into an altar to comfort their dead comrades.
The team no longer has the bitterness when they came, everyone is laughing, war is like this, either you die or I live, it just depends on whether the death is worth it or not. Cheng Chumo believes that the tribe that attacked the Tang Dynasty Rangers is finished and strong.
They and their children were all dead, and all that was waiting for them was to be annexed by other tribes.
Jieli's position was not stable. He led the powerful cavalry to harass not only the Tang Dynasty, but also his neighbors and even his weak subordinates. Over the years, Li Er had never relaxed his efforts to win over and divide Jieli's subordinates.
Tuli was one of them who suppressed him. Now Tuli is busy conquering his disobedient subordinates. He does not think that Li Er, who surrendered to him on the Weishui Bridge last year, will be able to conquer him. The Turks have always been strong, and they will
As long as it continues to be strong, the people of the Tang Dynasty are just grass in the field. They can just cut it again when they want to harvest it.
"Captain, we are beheading the 144th level this time. Do you think there will be another level 1 meritorious version?" Liang San, who had a string of Turkic ears hanging around his neck, asked his superior. The man in Guanzhong cared most.
The most important thing is military merit, which can bring glory to the ancestors.
"Twelve brothers who still have the nerve to ask for military honors died in the battle. We are so embarrassed. There are many children in these ears. If we don't get punished by military law when we go back, it will be a good thing for us. How dare you ask for military honors?" Cheng Chumo looked good.
A little quieter, but still gloomy.
"Captain, you are the legitimate son of the old man's family, how dare the secretary deny you face?"
"Humph, if I use my status to exert pressure, not only will we be in vain, but we will be guilty. If favors work in the army, you guys are so stupid!"
"No more questions, please calm down. We have finally avenged our dead brothers. This is always worth celebrating. When I helped you make the bed yesterday, I found that you still have a jar of good wine. Why don't we drink it all tonight?
?" Liang San is considered the smartest among the brothers and knows how to change the topic.
"Who told you that it was alcohol? It was alcohol used to heal wounds. One sip would kill someone.
"I know, you said that I couldn't hold back and took a sip last night. I was afraid that you would blame me, so I just thought of drinking it to death. Who knows, I'm not dead now. I just hacked to death two Turks.
Having too much strength to use up is a sign that the little one is about to die?"
Liang San's words elicited bursts of laughter, and someone boldly answered immediately.
"Young one is tired of life. Cutting his neck hurts too much. Hanging himself is too ugly. Captain, why don't you give me a big bowl and drink him to death? Liang San even breathed on our brothers last night. The smell of wine is too great."
It smells so good, you won’t be reluctant to part with it, right?”
Cheng Chumo blushed when he said that. That's what Yun Ye said to him. He also tasted it secretly. Although the wine tasted a bit stronger, it was really the best wine. He wondered in his heart whether Yun Ye was afraid that he would get into trouble by drinking and deliberately lied to him.
"What nonsense are you talking about? My brother is a miracle doctor. This is what he said. How can it be false? In a few days, he will also come to Shuofang. If you want to drink good wine, he must have it. By then, everyone will have a bowl. No way.
What a shame." Cheng Chumo was also one of the few people who first knew that Yun Ye would come.
"Marquis Yun has also come back to Shuofang? With him here, I feel relieved. If I am accidentally seriously injured, you must help me and let Marquis Yun give me another life. Why did we forget to stay today?"
A few Turks, if something unexpected happens in the future, it would be better to borrow their lives." Liang San's words aroused everyone's pity.
It was almost dark before Cheng Chumo took the people back to Shuofang.
Shuofang City is a famous large city on the grassland. Due to the lack of stone materials, the city walls are made of rammed earth. After the war last year, the city walls have not had time to be repaired, and there are large and small gaps everywhere.
After Liang Shidu died, his cousin Liang Luoren surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, was called to Chang'an and became a general, and never returned to Shuofang.
The current coach is Chai Shao, the husband of Princess Pingyang. He has two powerful generals, Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche. After defeating Liang Shidu, Li Er did not return to the capital but stayed there. Although it was difficult to transport food and ordnance, Li Er did not give up.
He had no intention of getting along peacefully with Jie Li.
It is too difficult to build a city on the grassland. The walls made of rammed loess cannot withstand wind and rain and must be repaired every year, which is very expensive.
The Tongwan City built by Helian Bobo is an exception. This madman built Tongwan City more than a hundred years ago. All the soil was steamed, and he also ordered that if an iron nail penetrates even an inch into the earth wall, the craftsmen will be killed.
If you can't get in, kill the soldiers responsible for driving the nails. After the city wall was built, I heard that you could sharpen your swords and axes, and it still stands intact on the edge of the desert.
Yun Ye was not in the mood to look at the beautiful scenery of the grassland at this time, because the heavy rain a few days ago had infected Niu Jinda with cold and high fever. Yun Ye took out his unexpired western medicine and fed it to him, so that he could save his life.
After all, Lao Niu is old and his body is no longer as good as when he was young. With this disease, all the problems in his body have appeared, including rheumatism, high blood pressure, spleen and stomach disorders, and he even has migraines. According to him, he treats migraines.
The solution to headaches is to tie a piece of cloth around your head and tighten it.
After forcibly taking over Lao Niu's military power, Yun Ye became the top officer of this team. With a team of less than a thousand people, there were endless affairs of all sizes. Yun Ye not only had to assume leadership, but also coordinate various matters.
Disputes, we must pay more attention to the safety of this team.
Within three days, Yun Ye strongly hoped that Lao Niu would get better. After handling a man-on-man sexual harassment case, he hurried to Sun Simiao's carriage to see if Lao Niu was getting better. It's so disgusting. Think about it.
What those two bastards did made Yun Ye want to vomit.
Lao Niu was sitting on the carriage with a rosy complexion, holding a wooden bowl in his hand. He was eating the nutritious meal specially prepared for him by Yun Ye with a spoon. When he saw Yun Ye coming over, he ignored it and kept eating on his own.
"Your face is rosy and you look much better. My nephew recklessly took away your military power a few days ago. How about giving it back to you now?"
"I never meant to blame you. The coach is seriously ill and it is only natural that the deputy should take over. Why should you apologize? Look at me, I am so sick that I don't look like a person anymore. I can't control the affairs of the team. How much more trouble will you suffer?"
God, we're almost at Shuofang City." After saying that, he asked the grinning soldier to cover him with a blanket, saying that there was no need to wake him up if he didn't get to Shuofang. This old guy, look at Yun Ye's behavior these days.
After managing the team well, he started to be lazy. Last night, he saw him kill an entire fat chicken by himself, and now he pretended to be weak.
There was no other way, Yun Ye had no choice but to cheer up again and continue to deal with chores.!~!
