Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 864 Preparing for a Counterattack 2
Xiliang, on the western border of Dunhuang, a one-armed general is directing his subordinates to collect prisoners. There are not many corpses on the battlefield. Soldiers are already cleaning the battlefield and packing up their weapons. The one-armed general has tired eyes, There was also a little excitement, but it was more of a kind of indifference. Years of battlefield life had already made him lose the passion of the year, and also lost all kinds of feelings about life. Even after defeating the enemy, he did not have many victories. joy.

These soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield were considered to be of relatively low status in the army. Judging from their clothes, they seemed to come from different regions and different races. Apart from the differences in clothes, many of them had obviously different skin colors and appearances. It seemed that this was A motley crew with quite a complex composition.

However, these miscellaneous troops cleaning the battlefield seemed very excited. After all, they won the victory, and they will go to occupy Dunhuang City next. According to the past custom, after capturing such a large city, even if they don’t indulge for three days, at least the logistics There will also be a large amount of supplies to reward the three armies. These miscellaneous troops are obviously aroused by the supplies.

On the north side of the battlefield, a team of about 2000 cavalry is waiting. They have been here since the previous battle. Even after the battle, they did not change their formation. Two thousand strong and indifferent soldiers , [-] strong and handsome tall horses are staying there so quietly at this moment. From the beginning of the war to the present, no soldier has said a word, and no soldier has left his post.

When the rest of the soldiers who were reveling for victory saw this group of comrades-in-arms, in addition to admiration, there was more fear in their eyes. At the beginning, they were easily defeated and captured by these comrades-in-arms, and then, because of the magnanimity of several generals Only then can they get rid of their status as slaves and take up arms again and go to the battlefield. Later, they fought side by side with these indifferent comrades-in-arms, and saw the bravery of these comrades-in-arms and those generals. They all have an indescribable feeling for these comrades-in-arms, but fortunately, they all belong to the same camp, so the fear is the fear, but at least no conflicts have occurred between them.

"Boss, what is the general looking at?" A soldier walked up to his desk and asked, "It's been a long time since I saw the general smiling with those killers. Look, those killers seem to be watching now." what is this."

"They are our brothers, not murderers." Chief Shi slapped the soldier on the head and said, "Be careful what you say in the future, any one of them can tear you apart with one or two moves, if you If you want to live a few more years, just keep your mouth shut, they didn't fight the most bitter, tiring and dangerous war, if you still hear you say that in the future, don't blame me for fixing you, did you hear that?"

"Oh, boss, take it easy." The soldier held his head and replied, "I'm just talking casually, I know that group, that group of brothers once saved you, but they did It's killing people without blinking an eye, hey, boss, don't fight, I just want to ask what they are looking at, why they never snatch so many good things on the battlefield, look, 2000 people are always watching What are they looking at in the sky?"

"They are watching where the sun rises,,,,,,"

"Where the sun rises, isn't that the east?" The soldier replied, "What's there in the east?"

"In the East, there are their hometowns, the homeland they are nostalgic for, their relatives and friends, and their dead comrades in arms..."

"Hehe, boss, you really know how to joke, those murderers also have friends and family members, oh, boss, boss, stop hitting..."

"What are you doing,,,,,,," a school lieutenant came over and shouted: "Clean up the battlefield quickly, set up camp here tonight and wait for the army to come, don't dawdle here, hurry up,,,,,,"

After hearing the scolding, the chief immediately led his subordinates to continue working. The captain who scolded them had three scars on his face. Every time he got angry, others could see the three scars and seemed to be shaking Don't mention how scary this scene is, but those soldiers also know that although their captain is usually fierce, he never treats his own people badly. Some people have even heard that the captain used to be very handsome, and there was a young man in his hometown. The daughter-in-law who has never been married, but what happened later, the captain became this person, ghost and ghost.

"How was the result? Did you find anything from those prisoners?" The one-armed general was still staring at the east, and when the captain rode his horse to his side, he didn't even look back.

"Killed 750 enemies and captured 670 prisoners." The lieutenant replied: "No less than 160 horses, cattle and sheep were seized, and [-] camels were captured. According to the confession of the prisoners themselves, They also just came here not long ago, four months ago, this place was occupied by another cavalry, but after that cavalry withdrew, they were ordered to seize this city, and they can reach Dunhuang City by advancing [-] miles."

"You are always so careful in doing things, ha ha." The one-armed general turned his head and said with a smile: "I wish I hadn't brought you out back then, otherwise, you would have already married and established a business by now..."

"What's the use of talking nonsense." The captain's temper was really bad, he directly interrupted his general's words and replied: "It's already like this, can we go back to the past? Can those brothers who died come back to life?" Is it? I just have three more scars on my face, what’s the big deal, anyway, I’m still alive, other brothers,,,,,,”

"almost home,,,,,,"

The one-armed general sighed and said: "This is Dunhuang, already in the territory of the Han Dynasty. We have circled such a big circle and lost our way from the east to the west. Now, we have arrived in Dunhuang, and we are almost home... ,"

The chattering lieutenant suddenly stopped talking, he held back the tears that were about to shed and nodded, "I'm almost home, but I don't know if I'm still home or not..."

"Report,,,,,,," a messenger ran over to interrupt the two of them and shouted: "General, the marshal has an order. Our cavalry is looking for a suitable place to station on the spot. The marshal will lead the army to arrive tomorrow."

"Understood, go back and tell the marshal, with me commanding an army of [-] forwards, no one can stop our army." The one-armed general yelled at the soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield: "Soldiers, who is the warrior of all battles?" ,,,,,,"

"We, we,,,,,," except for the surprisingly indifferent cavalry, the rest of the soldiers shouted loudly to celebrate today's victory.

More than 50 miles away, a large army that can't be seen at a glance is marching. At the front, a flag embroidered with the word "Wen" is fluttering in the wind. From the perspective of scale, this army may have 10,000+ people, and the more terrifying Yes, behind this army, there is another army of 10,000+. The land of Xiliang has always been chaotic, but there are still relatively few scenes of such a large-scale army going out. Moreover, the goal of this army is to go east ,,,,,,
