~.-~ Chapter 461 Live

The reinforcements in Zezhou City took a lot of effort and broke through the blocking line set up by Dong Zunhui and rushed to Gaoping Pass. However, when they arrived, they found crows everywhere, crows lying on the dead bodies! When they saw people coming, the crows not only did not fly away, but instead lay on the branches, looking at their upcoming ingredients with interest. Their claws were stained red with blood, and bright red blood was still falling on their beaks!

The soldiers were very sad and frightened. Why were these robes in Gaoping Pass killed overnight? Looking at the land in front of them, there were more than 3,000 corpses of defenders! The air was filled with the smell of scorched wheat, and the barns that were piled up had been completely burned by the Zhou army, leaving only the charcoal-like ashes!

Without the need to scold the general, the soldiers had already rushed forward spontaneously and quickly put out the fire with the water in the water bag she carried with her. Although they were lucky enough to save several granaries, most of the food in Gaoping Guanzhong had been burned out. The general in charge of the rescue fell to the ground and had the idea of ​​committing suicide to apologize!

Soon, Li Yun got the news and he was shocked. Although he knew that there was a war in Gaoping Pass this morning, he felt that with Zezhou in front, it would be difficult for the enemy to send large units to attack Gaoping Pass, and at most it would only harass him. So although Li Yun immediately sent reinforcements, he didn't care.

When Li Yun received the granary being burned out, he was shocked and immediately ordered the news to blockade. At the same time, he quickly rode his horse to Gaoping Pass. When he rushed to the nearest place, looking at the charcoal all over the ground, Li Yun couldn't help but feel ache in his heart, staggered for several steps, and almost fell to the ground.

Luzhou was very barren and it was difficult to support the armed forces of the brigade. In the past, when Li Yun's troops were in stalemate with the Northern Han Dynasty, the local government could not meet their needs and were transported from the rear. Although Li Yun was in great power later, he secretly had some reserves in Luzhou without hiding it, but the total number was still limited. This time, Li Yun led his army south to Zezhou and escorted two-thirds of the stock supplies to Gaoping Pass. He wanted to reduce the logistics pressure, but unexpectedly, the fire came to lose all his poor family assets!

Li Yun walked a few steps and said to Dan Gui, "Dan Gui, what do you think about this?"

After Li Yun mobilized the doctors in Zezhou, Dan Gui finally stabilized the injury without any cost, waiting for the wound to heal. His face was a little pale as he had just recovered. He rode a horse so quickly, causing bleeding from the wound.

However, at this time of death, Dan Gui didn't care about his injuries, but just frowned and said to Li Yun: "Master General, the soldiers on duty did not find any traces of the enemy last night, either because they were negligent, or the enemy's scale was very small. If it were the former, all the soldiers on duty should be incorporated into the Dead Soldiers' camp; if it was the latter, with the meager strength of the Zhou army's raiding troops and the price they had to pay to capture Gaoping Pass, they would definitely not dare to appear in the daytime, and they would not dare to return the same way. They would certainly still occupy a certain mountain between Luzhou and Zezhou! At the end, they felt that a large number of scouts should be sent immediately to conduct a net-style investigation of the surrounding mountains. At the same time, a elite force should be mobilized to stand by at any time. Once the enemy's traces were found, they would attack decisively and entangle them. Then we called the main force to come forward and annihilate them in one fell swoop!"

Li Yun nodded softly and said in a deep voice: "What you said makes sense. If you pass the order, the more than 2,000 soldiers on duty in Zezhou City were all incorporated into the Dead Soldiers' camp last night as the vanguard of the next battle. At the same time, the internal and external traffic near Zezhou City was blocked, especially the long-range attack troops such as the crossbows and catapults at the top of Zezhou City. We must monitor and block several small roads near Zezhou! In addition, five hundred scouts were drawn to search the surrounding mountainous areas and gather 5,000 soldiers to stand by. By the way, Dangui, go and prepare. Our army will launch a full-scale attack on the enemy in Dahui Village in two days. You will still be the vanguard at that time! This time we will never stop with the enemy. We must take down Dahui Village and go out to Taihang Mountain!"

Dan Gui quickly agreed that the food and grass were burned out by the enemy, and the inventory in Zezhou City could only support the army for five days. In this case, a full-scale attack on the Zhou army was not only fought to the death, but also an unspeakable reason, that is, the number of soldiers was consumed through war. After all, every soldier now has a big mouth to eat!

Although Li Yun only sent 500 scouts, he could stand out from tens of thousands of soldiers. The level of these scouts was evident. Just one hour later, the scouts discovered the valley where the Zhou army had previously hidden, and found hundreds of ashes buried in the valley. Looking at the blood-stained bandages in the valley that were not too late to burn, the scouts knew that there were a large number of wounded soldiers in the enemy, and the chance of finding Zhou soldiers was three points higher.

There were less than a thousand people left here in Dong Zunhui. In the sneak attack last night, although more than 3,000 beheaded while the enemy was unprepared, the army also paid a significant price. About 700 people died in the battlefield, and the blocking battle carried out at the same time also lost more than 400 people. In this way, there were only 1,100 people left in Dong Zunhui and Gao Huaide's army, including more than 200 seriously injured with mobility!

As the enemy army launched a net-style investigation, the seriously injured whispered: "General, let us go. Since ancient times, killing prisoners is ominous, and we have lost the ability to fight. They will not make things difficult for us!"

The more everyone talked, the lower the voice. In fact, everyone understood that there was only one ending of being let go by the army, that is death. Last night, everyone stabbed the hornet's nest, and they would definitely kill people and even kill them. Moreover, the enemy's food was getting less and less, so they would definitely not provide food to the prisoners who hated them toothache. Even if everyone saved their lives for a while, they would starve to death in the future!

Dong Zunhui shook his head gently but extremely firmly. He shouted: "Everyone rubs hemp ropes, cuts down trees, and quickly build a stretcher. Two people are in groups, carrying the wounded to evacuate. Cao Quan, you lead 300 people to stay, ambush the enemy's scout team, and then evacuate in the direction of Cizhou to divert the enemy's attention. Be sure to be alive!"

Cao Quan solemnly saluted Dong Zunhui and immediately ordered the soldiers to leave. Soon, there was a shout of killing from Cao Quan, and then the killing sound became farther and farther away, and finally disappeared.

Dong Zunhui also took the end of the stretcher and carried a seriously injured person together with Gao Huaide, retreating towards the mountain path. The mountain road is rugged and it is difficult to walk alone, let alone carrying the injured. If everyone can't walk far, they will trip to the ground, but Dong Zunhui and others would rather be injured themselves than let the injured be injured.

Late at night that day, Dong Zunhui and his team finally passed the checkpoint and returned to Dahui Village with the support of reinforcements! Two thousand three hundred soldiers attacked, and only five hundred were withdrawn!
