so

The fire scorched the mist by the lake until it became thinner and thicker, and the thick black smoke rolled into the sky, exuding a burst of pungent burnt smell.Zhe Heli looked at the burning camp, spat angrily, and asked, "Where are the horses? Ce Wang's five hundred cavalry are one man and two horses."

Someone whispered back, Zhe Heli pushed away impatiently, found a clean silk scarf among the dead, picked it up and wiped his bloody knife.While wiping, he kicked the person who answered: "Can't you be louder! I didn't give you something to eat!"

"Master Medog took them away an hour ago!" The kicked man replied loudly again.

Zhe Heli snorted, put the knife back into its sheath, and said: "The boy in command is quite capable. If they hadn't fought to the death here, we would have gone to chase Motuo by water, and I'm afraid we would have caught up with him long ago. .Hmph, how many people did we die?"

"430 people. More than 300 people were injured..." The voice of the lieutenant who was following up on the side became smaller and smaller. This was a tragic victory that had never been seen. The personnel were able to hold back more than 1000 Junggar elites for two hours, causing this invincible iron army to be severely damaged.

Zhe Heli squinted his eyes, looked at the camp that was reduced to ashes in the flames, nodded to show that he understood, and asked, "Where is their coach, and where is the rest of the main force?"

The deputy general lowered his head, "This last general doesn't know..."

Zhe Heli slapped him without hesitation: "If you can't find out such a little thing, what's the use of you! You don't know, won't you scratch your tongue and ask?"

"Everyone is dead."

"Let me find the places that haven't been burned. If you find someone alive, ask me! Bury the pot to cook, and the army is ready to go. When there is a movement of the main force of the Qing army, the whole army will immediately rush, and the commander of the Qing Dynasty will not be caught. , Our battle is in vain!" Zhe Heli gave orders violently, and slapped the whip in his hand, showing the master's inner anxiety.In this battle, he won but lost.

Originally, I planned to capture the coach of the Qing Dynasty alive here. I heard that the coach is the cousin of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. To replace this man, the Qing Dynasty must pay enough money.But when I got here, I found that there were only three or four hundred people left in the camp, and most of the musketeers were gone. There were only some simple garrison troops left. The commander of the battle was still a young child, and now I don’t know where he died. .But this child, these three or four hundred people, not only killed almost the same number of Moxi soldiers, but also almost bankrupted their perfect plan.

Zhe Heli knew that he underestimated the enemy.He didn't understand why the first two battles could be fought so easily with the same army of the Qing Dynasty, but it was so difficult to win this battle with obviously fewer people.Could the main force of the Qing Dynasty have gone to attack the general's camp now?

Thinking of this, Zhe Heli couldn't help feeling a little terrified. If the remaining military strength of the Qing Dynasty was like these 300 people, wouldn't Celing be...

Zhe Heli looked at the remaining one hundred horses and the dead and injured brothers lying on the ground, and shouted: "Those who can ride horses, come and follow me! Go back to the division and have a round with the general!"

Looking at the thick smoke rising in the direction of Shenjiawan in the distance, Chen Yi calmed down instead.He led the horse to Celing who was looking into the distance. Two people came up from both sides to stop him, but Celing waved his hand and repelled him.

Chen Yi and Celing looked at the fire that could be seen for tens of miles together, and sighed unconsciously: "I also have an older brother."

Celing glanced at him, there was not much expression on his young face.Just replied indifferently: "This matter has nothing to do with you."

Chen Yi didn't seem to hear it, and told the story to herself: "I used to be a wanderer. I said I had an older brother, but it wasn't actually my own brother. He was my senior brother. We grew up together. My senior brother and I It wasn't very good at first, but then the master died, and the other senior brothers also died, and there were only two of us, depending on each other. The senior brother was good to me and took care of me all the time, but I didn't appreciate it very much, until I killed someone After the lawsuit, my brother took the blame for me and died in prison. I didn’t even have time to see him for the last time.”

"What do you want to say?"

"I regret it very much. At that time, I shouldn't have been afraid that my affairs would be exposed and not go to see him." Chen Yi sighed, "If you don't go to see him, maybe he will never come back."

Celing looked into the distance silently, as if he didn't hear Chen Yi's words.

"I heard that the last time you met, there was a disagreement. He was actually very good to you, but you treated him like this. Look at the fire, how hot it was. If you die like this, will the general still be able to sleep in peace in the future?" Chen Yi's tone became sharp unconsciously, and she looked sideways at Cering's young side face with a slight disdain in her eyes.

"Your story is terrible." Celing turned around without hesitation, without looking at Chen Yi again.

Chen Yi looked at Celing's back and shouted: "I will help you pray to the Buddha to see him for the last time."

Celing snorted softly, took his own horse, explained a few words, and led a few people, galloping out of the hidden camp.

Not far away, Orondai, who was hiding in the valley, watched several gallops passing by, and ordered: "Wait for them to distance themselves, and shoot the last two!"

After giving an order, a sentry came over and said something in Orondai's ear. Startled, Orondai withdrew from the hiding place, and followed the sentinel who came to deliver the message to the open place behind the mountain. By the Qinghai Lake, I happened to see the fire soaring into the sky.Elundai clenched his fists instantly, furrowed his brows deeply, took a few deep breaths, and asked, "Is there any wine?"

All the people were stunned by his question. According to reason, drinking alcohol is strictly prohibited during the march.Of course Orondai can't break the rules, not to mention that there is no alcohol in the ambush in the barren mountains, even in the Shenjiawan meeting place, when the battle starts like this, drinking is not allowed.

Erlundai was free and easy, without any wine, he took a water bag, gulped it down a few gulps, and said: "This water is very sweet, but it has a bit of alcohol, so it's so good to drink!"

After drinking the wine, Elundai sighed as if thinking of something, "I love wine the most in my life, but unfortunately, I don't have a drinking buddy I like. Now I have found one, no matter what, I can't lose it. You say, yes no?"

No one around answered him, so he didn't care. He nodded and told Sun Shaohua, "Have you seen the direction of Junggar's camp clearly?"

Sun Shaohua, the school lieutenant of the original West Road, nodded, "See it clearly! General, just give orders."

"Draw out his bird's nest for me! I don't believe it. He has someone going to attack our camp. How many people are left in it." Orondai explained, "All the guards who accompanied him, and the fastest Ma, I'm going back to the camp."

"General!" Sun Shaohua was extremely surprised, "If the camp is on fire, there must be enemy troops. The general and the leader of the army, how can you risk it rashly?"

"Isn't it because you're here!" Elundai patted Sun Shaohua on the shoulder: "Fight well, win the battle and count it as yours, and lose it as mine. Old E is not the kind of coward who will lose his legs when he goes to the battlefield Yes. Let me tell you, the eighth brother is in the camp, you fought this battle for me, took over the enemy's nest and sent your army to meet us, something went wrong, you and I have to go around!"

"Eight elder brother?" Sun Shaohua stared, "You mean, that eight beile? How is it possible?"

The man preparing the horses had already led the horses, Erlundai got on the horses, checked the arrows of the weapons, and said at the same time: "I don't have time to explain to you in detail, the adjutant who was with me when I came here is Ba A Brother, remember, if I can't come back, you will try your best to bring Eighth Brother back, remember?"

"Yes, the last general obeys!" Sun Shaohua cupped his hands and sighed deeply as he looked at Erlundai who was slowly riding down from the hillside.

※※※※※※※※※

When Orondai arrived at Shenjiawan, it was already in ruins.More than a dozen people hid their horses and sneaked into the temporary camp set up by the enemy. There were no prisoners, only wounded soldiers.Orondai glanced at the charred tent with some concern, unwilling to believe that Yinhu's body was also among them, and it was turned into scorched earth with the fire.

If Yinhu is still alive, he must not have gone far.Elundai knew that Yinhu was not the one who abandoned his subordinates and fled on his own. He even fought to the death here for the safety of the only remaining troops in the Qing army. Two groups of Junggars attacked.At this time, Orondai's eyes were about to burst, his fists were clenched desperately, and he ordered the guards brought along in a low voice to quickly and secretly search for Yinhu's trace.

Orondai was very lucky, or in other words, Yinhu was very lucky.

Yinhu's face was covered in blood, and she was crouching in a corner crowded with seriously wounded soldiers.His face was pale and pale, and against the blood stains on his face, he looked even more ashamed.He was wrapped in a coat of Khalkha Mongolian cavalry, which was already torn, and the sword fell somewhere, and only his hands pressed tightly on the wound on his abdomen. The blood was already a little sticky, but it didn't stop completely. , seems to be still oozing out.His brows were tightly furrowed, his hat was crookedly buttoned on his head, and he looked so weak and lifeless, as if he could never come back to life.

Even a rough man like Orondai couldn't help but shed tears after just looking at it.How could Yinhu's appearance be able to see the shadow of the high-ranking prince elder brother? Although his appearance is more handsome than those picky soldiers and ruffians next to him, there is not much difference in appearance. How can a person who is as clear as Ba Ye be? Actually fell into such a situation.

Elundai held back his sobs, skillfully learned about the lives of the wounded soldiers who were still awake, and whispered to the guards waiting outside, "Quickly, give Baye some medicine to stop the bleeding!"
