Chapter 243
Yu Tian took twenty soldiers to guard Li Xia's side all the time. In fact, he couldn't see how he was fighting during the scuffle.But when Li Xia rushed up, Yu Tian also rushed up.

Everything that happened after that was like in a dream.

There was a vibration of horseshoes on the ground behind him, Li Xia shouted "Changning Army is here", Yu Tian was refreshed, thinking that the battle had been won.

And the words Li Xia said before the battle also flooded into his mind instantly.

"Don't forget, the Mongolian army is the defeated army. They were defeated in the Yangtze River and can't wait to escape back to Dali."

"This is Song Jing, and in front of you is a bereaved dog who was beaten to the point of fleeing."

"..."

At that moment, Yu Tian, ​​like the other river patrolmen, suddenly burst out with great courage, slashing wildly with his long knife, forcing back a Mongolian soldier beside Wu Lianghetai.

The Mongolian soldiers stepped back two steps timidly.

But Li Xia pushed a few steps forward.

On the battlefield, with just these two steps, Wuliang Hetai was surrounded by river patrolmen.

During the chaotic battle, Xu Kui stabbed the horse with a spear.At that time, Yu Tian had no other thoughts in his mind, he rushed up and slashed at Wu Liang Hetai.

Head hammers danced wildly, spears stabbed randomly, and single swords slashed randomly.

Everyone is like crazy.

"I cut him! I cut him..."

A head was chopped off and lifted up, and Yu Tian couldn't help roaring, "I chopped him off too!"

These days, the worries and fears brought about by the defeat and the capture were finally released by him at this moment.

He no longer has to worry about implicating his family, he only has "great meritorious service and rewards" in his mind, and he can't say anything else excitedly.

The cheers were loud, and the sad and angry Meng soldiers rushed forward, but were culled and killed by the river patrolmen.

More Mongolian soldiers turned around and ran away the moment they saw Wuliang Hetai's head being lifted up.

……

Yang Ben was still fighting, but the enemy in front of him had already turned around and ran away.

He turned his head, and while wiping the sweat and blood on his forehead, he looked at Jiang Fan's fellow Centuries.My heart was both pleasantly surprised and depressed.

This group of country bumpkins first beheaded a deputy of the Mongolian army, and then fought a big victory with the Syrian army... Now they even beheaded a marshal of the Mongolian army?

Damn.

And Xiongshan is the same, every time like this, can't get the first prize...

Just thinking about this, Mao Yi'er slapped him and shouted excitedly: "We won! We won again!"

Yang Ben snorted in pain, ignored him, and said coldly in his heart: "If it weren't for me, you would have died just now, idiot."

He turned his head to look at Li Xia.

Li Xia turned his head to look south, and the surprise in his eyes quickly dissipated and turned into thought.

It was too late to feel the excitement of beheading Wuliang Hetai, he had already seen the banner of Ashu and the two thousand Mongolian cavalrymen who came running wildly.

"Everyone obey orders! Swim across the Changning River immediately."

The river patrolmen moved quickly, quickly stopped the pursuit, made a little reorganization, and immediately supported the injured comrade to the Changning River.

Some of them panicked at first, but Li Xia was extremely calm.

"Let's go! Move quickly, don't panic, immediately go up the mountain after crossing the Changning River...put down the heads, except for Wuliang Hetai, don't take any of the other heads, let's go."

Not only did Li Xia not run first, but he went to help several wounded soldiers one after another.

"Those who can stand up should grit their teeth, and they can heal their injuries after crossing the river..."

But soon, he still encountered serious injuries.

Li Xia leaned down and said in a low voice: "Wu Shisan, your father's [-]th birthday this year...I'll do it for him."

"County lieutenant..."

With a soft sound, Li Xia covered Wu Shisan's eyes.

There was only time to deal with these few wounded, and Meng Qi, who was galloping from a distance, was getting closer and closer.

"go!"

At this time, most of the people had already run towards the Changning River. Behind Li Xia was Yu Tian and more than a dozen people who also rushed towards the Changning River, leaving wounded soldiers, horses, and corpses all over the ground.

……

The Changning River is 160 steps wide in this section, which is almost within the coverage of the Mongolian army's arrows.

One of the requirements for recruiting river patrolmen is to be able to swim back and forth in the Fujiang River twice, so they are quite good at swimming, but there are many seriously injured who cannot swim, or are shot by Mongolian army arrows and swept downstream by the river.

Li Xia was the last to go into the water, and he didn't swim far when Meng Qi caught up and shot arrows into the river.

He can dive, submerging his body into the water as much as possible, but he sees blood mist rising in front of him.

The river in winter is very icy, and the joy of beheading Wulianghetai has completely dissipated...

~~
Fang Yankai never said that his water skills are not good, in fact, besides Liu Jinsuo, he is the worst one.

After splashing in the Changning River for a while, he was still in the middle of the river.

His body was getting colder and colder, and he couldn't move forward every time he swiped hard.

"puff!"

An arrow went into his back.

Fang Yankai closed his eyes and gave up.

He thought of the madness when he killed Wu Liang Hetai, and thought that there were still so many unfulfilled ambitions... Then his eyes went dark.

……

After becoming conscious in a daze, he heard Li Xia's voice.

"How many are still unrescued? Liu Jinsuo, you carry one..."

"Okay. Fortunately, I practiced water, otherwise I would be gone today... Landlord, are you awake? Can you go?"

Then I heard Bao San say: "Master Liu can't leave now, fool Liu, you carry it on your back... have you seen Jiang Fan?"

"Let's go. Bao San, you command Jiang Fan's team to carry Xu Kui on his back..."

Fang Yankai didn't speak, and he couldn't tell whether he was dead or not in a trance, and soon passed out again.

In the darkness, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back. He woke up suddenly and found that it was already dark, and he was lying by the campfire, and the doctor accompanying the army was treating the arrow wound on his back.

"Where is this?"

"Master is awake, this is the top of the mountain."

Fang Yankai asked, "Which mountain?"

"The little guy doesn't know."

"Where is County Lieutenant Li?"

"Master, do you remember that it was the county lieutenant who pulled you out of the water?"

Fang Yankai was taken aback for a moment, then vaguely recalled something, and asked, "Where is he?"

"The county lieutenant said that the Mongolian army must go up the mountain for a sneak attack at night, and he is leading people to set up defenses."

Fang Yankai nodded, feeling that his body was dry, turned his head and saw wounded soldiers lying around the campfire.

Not long after, the killing cry sounded.

"Push!" Liu Jinsuo's roar shook the sky.

"Kill the enemy! Remember, the Mongolian army is a lost dog!"

"Repel them! The officers and soldiers are about to encircle them..."

Then there was a bang, and there was a wood and stone being pushed down the mountain.

The night battle sounded intense, but it didn't last long.

Fang Yankai judged that the Mongolian army was just a sneak attack, and it was not good to make a large-scale attack at night.

Suddenly someone shouted: "The Mongolian army is setting fire to the mountain!"

"Quick, cut down the tree..."

"..."

"Leave the rattan, and dig the fire belt all the way to the cliff over there. Xiongshan, you take someone to collect the rattan..."

Fang Yankai forced himself to stand up, passed through the busy soldiers, and finally found Li Xia who was in command.

"Feiyu..."

"Trees that can't be cut down will be dug down... Is the owner awake?"

"Where is this?"

Li Xia said: "It should be Panyan Mountain."

"Should? Didn't you ask Ma Youer?"

"He died." Li Xia said, "I didn't even see how he died."

Fang Yankai sighed, lamenting the cruelty of the battlefield.

"We don't have dry food and water, what shall we do?"

"The key is that there is no wound medicine." Li Xia said.

"what for?"

Li Xia said: "Ashu doesn't recognize me, but I recognize him and know his fighting style, so he failed to attack tonight. He should be very angry, so he set the mountain on fire. But this fire also caused him two or three The mountain cannot be attacked within days."

Fang Yankai looked at the growing fire at the foot of the mountain, and felt that it was the anger of Ah Shu...the raging anger that erupted after the death of his father.

"Two or three days... by then Ashu will be retreating."

"So it's not terrible to have no water and dry food. The terrible thing is that there is no wound medicine." Li Xia said, "Everyone's wounds are soaked in water and they need medicinal materials."

"How many... how many people do we have?"

"Including wounded soldiers, there are nearly 300 people. Some people were washed away by the Changning River... Maybe they can come back."

"A lot of wounded soldiers?"

"a lot of."

Fang Yankai said: "Look at the wind direction tonight, there is no fire in the south, do you want to go down the mountain from the south? Or send someone to ask for help?"

"Ah Shu deliberately left one side not to set fire. His troops must be ambushing there, waiting for us to break through." Li Xia said: "He wanted to end the battle tonight, but I originally wanted to drag him out for a few more days."

"You... are too crazy."

"It's not crazy. I have said many times that this Mongolian army is a defeated army."

Fang Yankai sighed, feeling more and more powerless, and asked, "Why did Feiyu save me? Wouldn't it be better for you if I died..."

Li Xia turned her head and saw several military officers approaching, raised her hand, and interrupted Fang Yankai's words.

"The owner's book, let's talk about it when it's empty, let's go."

"Where are you going?"

"Go pick herbs." Li Xia said, "It happens to be lit by a fire."

"You will be smoked to death..."

"Wouldn't that be better for you?"

Li Xia waved his hand, turned around and led a few doctors accompanying the army down the mountain.

Fang Yankai was stunned, looking at Li Xia's back, he always felt that his last sentence was not a joke, but rather profound.

He turned around, walked a few steps with difficulty, and sat down by the campfire.

Occasionally, the whispers of some wounded soldiers came.

"I saw Bantou Jiang when I got to the river."

"He's missing a hand, so he can't paddle well, don't be hit by an arrow."

"Hey, the county captain said he was washed away by the water, and he can come back..."

"I'm so tired..."

"The head of Marshal Montardut wasn't pickled with lime, wouldn't it rot? Why don't you take it off and roast it..."

Fang Yankai raised his head and saw a spear stuck there, Wu Liang Hetai was still glaring angrily.

A thought came to him involuntarily.

"It really killed Wuliang Hetai...Shu Shuai..."
