Chapter 92 Two-legged sheep

As soon as Yang Xiu and Guo Wu walked halfway, they received a report from scouts: Hu Feng withdrew from the battlefield and was fleeing northwest.

Guo Wu heard this, and immediately looked at Yang Xiu. "Servant, what can I do?"

Yang Xiu pondered for a while, and stretched out his hand to point. "Go to Li Shi's camp."

Guo Wu responded, pulled his horse and was about to leave, then reined in his mount and looked back at Yang Xiu with surprise in his eyes.

"Go to Li Shi's camp?"

"Correct."

"Don't chase Hu Feng, go to intercept Li Shi's retreat?" Guo Wu's eyes became more puzzled.

Although the fighting power of these thousand-step cavalry is not weak, it is too risky to rush to intercept the flying bear army led by Li Shi.

Is Yang Shilang drifting away, or is he treating me as Xiang Yu, who can shout and repel the enemy?
Yang Xiu shook his head. "It's not cutting off Li Shi's way, but robbing Li Shi's camp. The cavalry consumes a lot, and Li Shi's camp must have a lot of food, grass, and baggage, several times that of Hu Feng..."

Before Yang Xiu finished speaking, Guo Wu understood, kicked the horse's belly, and shouted: "Cavalry follow me!"

Hundreds of cavalry listened to the order, shouted in unison, turned their horses' heads, and galloped away following Guo Wu.

Ever since Guo Wu beheaded three flying bear army rangers before the formation, these cavalry have obeyed Guo Wuyan, even more obedient than the personal guards.

Watching Guo Wu lead more than a hundred cavalry rushing away, the rest of the infantry soldiers looked envious, Yang Xiu was dumbfounded, smacked his lips after a long while, and led the infantry to follow Guo Wu's pace, and rushed to Li Shi's large army. camp.

To be honest, at this moment, he was panicking.

Although these Duan Yan's subordinates are well-trained and better at fighting than Yang Ding's subordinates, they are only infantry after all. Without a warrior like Guo Wu leading the formation, once they encounter the defeated soldiers under Li Shi and Hu Feng's command, they may still be defeated. to danger.

But Guo Wu had already run away, and he tried to persuade him, but Guo Wu couldn't hear him.

In desperation, he had to bite the bullet.

Yang Xiu was lucky. After walking for an hour with nearly a thousand infantry, he arrived at Li Shi's camp safely.

Although there were some Xiliang routs on the way, but after seeing Duan Yan's big camp and well-organized team, no one dared to ask for trouble, and they all avoided it by a long distance.

Everything in front of him made Yang Xiu overjoyed.

Guo Wu came in time and captured the camp before Li Shi's men were defeated.

The hundreds of Flying Bear Knights staying in the camp didn't take these hundreds of riders seriously at first, they opened the door and left the camp, intending to pick up some heads for credit.Unexpectedly, being hit head-on by Guo Wu and others, more than a dozen died in one round, and a hundred generals were also picked off by Guo Wu.

Someone recognized Guo Wu, no longer fighting spirit, turned around and ran away.

Guo Wu took advantage of the situation to occupy Li Shi's camp, closed the gate of the camp, lowered Li Shi's battle flag, and raised Duan Yan's battle flag.

The knights of the Flying Bear Army who had just retreated from the battlefield saw that the battle flag had changed, and no one dared to return to the camp, so they went around the camp one after another.

The food and supplies in the camp, as well as hundreds of captured Kanto people—most of them young women—all became Guo Wu’s trophies, so rich that Guo Wu and the knights didn’t know what to say, and they couldn’t agree more. He pursed his lips and kept smirking.

To welcome Yang Xiu into the camp, before he could speak, Guo Wu raised his thumb.

"The servant is worthy of being a scholar. He has a wide range of knowledge and knows where to harvest the most. The food in this camp is more than what we sent to the general's camp."

Looking at the piles of grain everywhere, Yang Xiu was also stunned, and then felt a burst of fear.

There was a severe drought in Guanzhong last year, and the harvest was extremely poor. Li Jue still had so much food. How many people would starve to death?
In other words, how many people did Li Jue have to kill to get the food?

He looked at those Kanto women with frightened eyes again, and said softly, "Guo Shilang, have you seen a vegetable man?"

Guo Wu froze for a moment, the smile on his face disappeared. "You mean, these people... are all vegetable people?"

"The Flying Bear Army only has more than a thousand riders. Even if they need people to serve them, they don't need so many people." Yang Xiu looked away, unable to bear to look any longer. "These people... are all vegetable people, also known as two-legged sheep."

After waiting in Yang Dingying for a few days, Guo Wu naturally knew what the two-legged sheep meant.

Thinking that these women were insulted by Li Shi and his subordinates before they were alive, and would be eaten after death, Guo Wu, who is as brave as Guo Wu, couldn't help but shudder.

In contrast, Duan Yan's subordinates were more indifferent.

Yang Xiu couldn't bear to look any further, and turned to leave.

"Yang..." Among the captives, a young woman suddenly stood up and called out. "The servant...is the servant the son of Duke Yang?"

Yang Xiu stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look, and saw that the woman was of medium build, as thin as a stick, and her face was so dirty that she couldn't look directly at it. After a few steps, she could smell the stench from her body.

"You are..." Yang Xiu took out a handkerchief and covered his mouth and nose.

The young woman squeezed out from the crowd, staggered towards Yang Xiu, and fell to the ground as soon as she took two steps.She didn't care to stand up, crawled a few steps on the ground, rushed to Yang Xiu, and grabbed Yang Xiu's clothes.

"You... are you really the son of Duke Yang?" Her eyes were bright and her voice trembled.

"Yes, I'm Yang Xiu, the son of Taiwei Yanggong." Yang Xiu took it down and looked at it carefully. He felt familiar, but he still couldn't see the woman's face clearly.He handed the handkerchief to the woman and motioned her to wipe her face. "You are……"

"The concubine... the concubine is Cai Bojie's daughter." The woman took the handkerchief, but did not wipe her face, crying bitterly.

Yang Xiu gasped.

-

The sound of the war drums gradually subsided, and the Flying Bear Army fled the battlefield after dropping nearly [-] corpses. An empty-saddle horse stood quietly on the battlefield, lowering its head from time to time, and bowed to its dead master.

Sun Rui ordered a truce, sent scouts to inquire about the news, and packed up the horses at the same time.

The remains of fallen soldiers had to be buried, the wounded had to be healed, and weapons had to be collected for spare use. This was especially true for war horses. Those who were injured and could not be cured were slaughtered and eaten directly.

After the war, a lot of wine and meat were needed, and the emperor was so poor that these wounded war horses were rare meat.

The result is not big, but the loss is not small. This battle is a veritable tragic victory.

The Weiwei Battalion suffered the most. The soldiers who faced the frontal battle withstood the impact of the Feixiong Army. More than [-] were killed and more than [-] were injured.

The infantry battalion also lost a lot. Most of the [-] infantry were lost and disabled. They have no ability to fight again in a short time.

The Sound Battalion suffered limited losses, but their arrows were exhausted.Even if all the arrows on the battlefield are collected, there are still quite a few gaps.

The loss is great, but the gain is small.

Hu Feng's camp was seized by Yang Feng.Although the result is not yet known, it is conceivable that the spoils of war will definitely be looted by Yang Feng, and the court can get a limited amount of money.

The whereabouts of Li Shi's camp is unknown, and no news has been received yet.

But no matter who occupies it, it has nothing to do with the court.

The imperial court paid the greatest price, but got nothing substantial.

At this time, under the protection of several knights, Yang Xiu rushed to the camp and reported to Liu Xie the news of seizing the Li-style camp.

"Your Majesty, we rescued a person from Li Shi's camp." Yang Xiu trembled, his face flushed.

Liu Xie was a little surprised, Yang Xiu was so excited, what important person did he save?
"Who?"

"Daughter Cai Bojie, Cai Yan."
