Seeing the Khitans slowly retreating, Meng Xuejiao felt dizzy and almost fell off his horse. For five consecutive days, he could not hold on to the battle every day. More than 10,000 people under his jurisdiction had already lost their lives forever.

Fortunately, in this era, there are not many cases of injuries on the battlefield, missing arms and legs. Injuries from swords, guns and swords are either fatal or cut, and they will not be disabled if cured. In fact, treatment conditions are limited, and the number of deaths is particularly large.

Reinforcements came today. Because Meng Xuejiao was the bravest in combat, Ma Huaide added 3,000 people to him, basically making up for the number of people. The Khitans retreated today and will come again tomorrow. I really don’t know how long it will take to fight this battle.

Back at the patriarch's tent, Meng Xuejue sat down, feeling like her whole body was dispersed. She closed her eyes slightly and adjusted her body.

He Lu came in from outside and saluted and said, "Master Master, the news I just received, Master Xie next to him was seriously injured."

Meng Xuejue opened his eyes and said, "How is the injury? Is it serious?"

He Lu said: "I was shot in the chest and the military doctor is taking care of me. I don't know what the details are."

Meng Xuezhao stood up and said, "The comrades in the comrades were bleeding these days. He was injured. I want to go and see it. You can continue to fight every day in the past few days. Go out at dawn and don't know if you will be back at night. Let the food and grass officers in the army make whatever they have. Don't worry too much. Eat meat first if you have meat, drink wine. Don't stay there."

He Lu crossed his hands and said yes.

Meng Xuezhao took his own soldiers and ordered his subordinates to walk towards Xie Chi's military camp not far away. In the battle for several days, although Xie Chi was always under the care of Meng Xuezhao, he still reduced his number of troops. At the beginning, more than 10,000 people were left, but now there are only less than 5,000 people left. However, the combat power of these 5,000 people may not be worse than that of the beginning. People are so strange. After fighting in the sea of ​​corpses and blood for a few days, everyone became stronger. At the beginning, the Khitan iron cavalry easily dispersed Xie Chi's military formation. Now, no matter how the iron cavalry charges, his military formation can never disperse.

War is the best way to train people. The officers who did not learn to do so in the military academy fought fiercely for five days, and many people grew up. Of course, many officers did not withstand the test of the battlefield, and more than thirty people fled. But at this time, the surrounding walls were solid and the fields were clear, and I don’t know where they could escape.

After entering Xie Chi's handsome tent, Xie Chi was lying on the mattress, wrapped in a blood-covered cloth strip on his chest, and was drinking there with a bottle of wine. Seeing Meng Xuejiao come in, she put down the bottle and said, "Scholar, I am not in good luck today, and I am hit by an arrow."

Meng Xuejue said: "I heard it just now, I will come to see you specifically. Now the war is like this, and you are so seriously injured again, alas--"

Xie Chi laughed at the ear: "It's just an arrow, and it didn't take the life of the family! I'll put some medicine today and I'll still go to battle tomorrow. The Khitans attacked us for five days, and there was no way to see who could survive until the end! The cadets came, and they happened to drink some wine with them."

Meng Xuezhao hurriedly said, "You are so seriously injured, don't drink anymore. When the injury is healed, I will accompany you to get drunk."

Xie Chi smiled and said, "This battle is out during the day and I don't know if I can come back at night, but where can I wait until I get it! We have wine today, no matter whether it is tomorrow or not! - Come on, there are cooked meats, bring it to the wine!"

The personal soldiers next to him said that they were running quickly and brought a pot of meat to her and placed it next to Xie Chi.

Xie Chi gritted his teeth, stood up, sat on the mattress, and said to Meng Xuejue: "Scholar, until today, we have a life and death. We will drink with me tonight and fight again tomorrow. Even if we die, we will be willing!"

Meng Xuezhao looked at Xie Chi, hesitated, and sat down. He said, "You are seriously injured now. If you don't have a good rest, you are afraid you are in poor health. In my opinion, you should go back to the city to recuperate and ask Taiwei Ma to designate someone to replace you."

Xie Chi shook his head repeatedly: "I was shot by the Khitans today. I was about to take revenge tomorrow. How could I be willing to let someone take over me? Scholars, in the past five days, thousands of people have died in the army, why don't I one?"

Meng Xuezhao looked at Xie Chi, and for a moment he didn't know what to say. On the first day, Xie Chi seemed quite panicked and was dispersed by the Khitan cavalry. After five days of fierce fighting, he seemed to have changed his own person and no longer looked like before.

After the two of them drank a bowl of wine, Xie Chi became proud and ordered his personal soldiers: "Go and call Wu Cheng and Zhang Gan to drink a glass of wine together. I have been tired of fighting these days and have no rest for a day. I drink it hard today to get rid of the bad weather."

The personal soldiers went out. Soon, Wu Cheng and Zhang Gan came in and saluted Meng Xuejue and Xie Chi.

Xie Chi said: "I cooked mutton today and happened to be a scholastic person. Let's drink and eat meat together."

Wu Cheng hurriedly said: "If the master is injured, it is better to take good care of it. When the injury is healed, we will definitely accompany you."

Xie Chi said: "Scholars said the same thing just now, and you said the same thing. Ha, but the arrow is injured, my life is still there. Have a good drink tonight. If I die on the battlefield tomorrow, no one will accompany me. Don't say much, sit down."

The two looked at Meng Xuejiao and had to sit down. The personal soldiers took the bowl and filled them with wine.

Xie Chi raised the bowl and drank with the three of them. He patted the bowl heavily in front of him, put the meat from the basin into his mouth, and chewed it hard.

Several people drank for a while, and Xie Chi suddenly said, "Zhi Ma, I have been in the army for more than 20 years. Today I realized that this is how the war is! I have to be injured and understand many things. Don't think too much on the battlefield, right?"

Meng Xueshou said: "We are commanders and only think about how to win on the battlefield. The rest are useless. Thinking too much will affect judgment. Of course, people are different, and I am like this."

Xie Chi clapped his hands: "So pedantics are the best tests in the military academy, and the best tests on the battlefield. To be honest, you used to do well in the military academy, and like many people, I was also dissatisfied. Only in the past few days did I really convinced. If there weren't pedantics, how could we persist until now? Just reading a few books in the military academy, we would have fought a war? What a big joke!"

Wu Cheng said: "What the master said is. When I first came here, I felt that I knew everything about the battle. After fighting a few battles, I even forgot what I had learned in the military academy. I had to fight for a few days. After more people died, I remembered again what the things I taught were of use."

Xie Chi nodded repeatedly: "Yes, that's true. If it weren't for the fierce battle these few days, I guess I wouldn't have really learned those things in a few years. Unfortunately, this is how things in this world are. If you don't die, you really can't learn them."

Meng Xuecai didn't speak, and he didn't feel this. From the time he was in the military academy, he knew very well what the things he learned were. After learning one subject at a time, he did what each subject did, and what the whole system was, everything was clear. When he went to the battlefield, he did not feel that there was any difference between the things he learned on the battlefield and what he learned. What Xie Chi and the others discussed was not Meng Xuecai.
