As for the wild knights on the periphery, their situation was not much better. At that moment, their bodies were completely defenseless, their eyes were covered with gray, and they could not hear anything in their ears. What was even worse was the war horses under them.
They were also frightened, and instinctively ran out, causing many unprepared wild horsemen to fall directly from their horses, and even worse, they were dragged away by the horses for hundreds of steps, with red blood stains shed.
.
It is conceivable that when the war horse stopped fearing and stopped, its master was probably already a bloody mess and was dead.
On the battlefield, I am afraid that only a few people with superb horse skills escaped the disaster because they lay on their horses. However, because the explosion was so loud, the five abdomens in the body were probably injured to varying degrees, and they could not do anything.
Like a normal person again.
The explosion sounded loudly, and this scene completely fell into Xiang Anxi's eyes.
He was even prepared to die. He was trying to find a way to call for help and guide the Barbarian Cavalry in the direction of attack. Even if he died, he would drag these enemies to hell with him. This is what a tough guy should do.
things.
However.
The sound of thunder from the sky shattered all his illusions.
There was a roaring sound in his mind, and it seemed that he could no longer think about any problems. It was only when everything settled and several large pits nearly ten feet deep could be seen in front of his eyes, that he finally gained the ability to think.
His shoulders suddenly sank, and Shen Ao's arm fell on Xiang Anxi's shoulders, "Look carefully, this is a certain person's secret weapon, what kind of effect would it have if this thing exploded in Xiucheng?"
What? Ha, hahaha."
No matter what Xiang Anxi was thinking now, after saying this, Shen Ao shouted to the people behind him: "What are you waiting for? Why don't you go clean the battlefield? This is a good time to take advantage of it. Go quickly."
Being reminded by this, everyone just woke up from a dream. One by one, they rushed out of the dense forest and ran straight towards the battlefield. Whenever they saw the barbarian knights who were not dead, they would chop them down without mercy and kill them.
He holds his head in his hand, which is evidence of exchange for silver.
There were also some frightened war horses that fell to the ground, and they became trophies at this time. Most of them were just frightened, and they only needed to be quiet for a while before they could regain their glory.
Countless thunders buried the four hundred unsuspecting barbarians gathered together, making Shen Ao's second plan successful and making his presence feel like a man descended from heaven. At least for this moment, witnessing all this
When everyone looked at him, their eyes were no longer filled with admiration, but full of respect.
Looking at Shen Ao with eyes that looked toward gods, you can tell that everyone already regards Shen Ao as a god.
Shen Ao didn't care that much, but kept urging people to clean the battlefield. At the same time, he said to Ao Qi beside him: "I'd like to trouble Brother Qi to see if Feng Xun and the others have retreated. If not, order
They retreat immediately."
"No trouble, no trouble." Ao Qi also put away his playful smile and became very serious.
He really couldn't do anything without changing. The power of the thunder really scared him. Thinking that if he caused the displeasure of the young master and rewarded himself with such a thing, even a few lives would not be enough to kill him.
...
Hugh city.
Commander Meng Ding was still confronting the cavalry of Bukhan who came from afar. The sound of explosions suddenly sounded, causing his expression to change drastically. At the same time, he couldn't help shouting loudly, "Where's the thunder, where's the thunder, but it's going to rain." Is it raining heavily?"
Not only Meng Ding, but also more people turned their attention to the dense forest in the northeast with suspicious looks on their faces.
After hearing the sound of the explosion, many of the cavalrymen in Bukhan's unit had expressions of confusion. However, Feng Xun and Ila, as the leaders, were more shocked than the others. They had arrived in advance. After receiving the news, once there is a sound like spring thunder, it is time to withdraw the troops.
At first they were still doubting how there could be the sound of spring thunder in this clear sky. But now, they believed it.
Although I don’t know how Shen Ao did it, of course he had to retreat immediately after giving the signal. After the two looked at each other, they led the cavalry back. Because the advance and retreat were well-founded, there was no panic. Unexpectedly, and the barbarian general Xiang Anxi was not there, Meng Ding hesitated for a moment, but still did not order the pursuit. Instead, after seeing that the cavalry of Ba Khan's unit really retreated, he led his men straight towards the dense forest.
By the time Meng Ding arrived here with a large number of cavalry, people had already left the forest. Even the corpses of the barbarians had been cleaned up, and the big hole had been filled long ago. In addition to the blood in the air, It proves that there was a fierce battle here, and there is no other useful information.
"Search, expand the search area, and we must find the place where Ba Khan's cavalry is stationed. No matter what, we must rescue General Xiang and bring him back." Captain Meng Ding roared.
The barbarian military discipline is very strict. Especially when it comes to accountability for soldiers who have lost their chief generals, they are so strict that all subordinate generals must be severely punished or even directly executed.
Meng Ding would never let Xiang Anxi fall into the hands of Bukhan's men. Even if he could see the body, he wouldn't have to bear such a big responsibility. Otherwise, he would have to die a hundred times to atone for his sin.
...
On a high hill twenty miles away from Xiucheng.
There is a buzz of people and military tents. This is where Shen Ao's garrison is located.
After the morning operation was successfully completed, Shen Ao led everyone back here. Not long after he came back, Feng Xun, Yi La and others also came back with a large number of cavalry. Taking this opportunity, they made a temporary In the square, Shen Ao held an army meeting.
This was not the first time that Shen Ao gave a speech, but this time it was different from the past. In front of him, a famous barbarian cavalry soldier was being tied to the ground with five flowers, and among them was the barbarian general Three Thousand Commander Xiang Anxi.
Hundreds of barbarian soldiers were tied here, with their heads lowered and kneeling in the direction of Bukhan's men, as if they were trying to atone for their sins. This scene was seen in the eyes of Bukhan's cavalry, and they couldn't help but burst into tears.
More than ten years.
After the barbarians came here from the south, they were driven out. In order to gain a place to survive, countless ancestors died and many good young people were sacrificed. However, they still could not shake the barbarians at all. It seemed that the barbarians were just like Those who are made of iron are generally invincible.
It's better now. People from Daqian came to help them, and they won consecutive battles. Now seeing those usually arrogant barbarians kneeling in front of me, kneeling at my feet, the depression in my heart seemed to be at this moment A lot was released at once.
At this moment, all the Bhan cavalrymen looked at the young and even young Shen Ao with respect and admiration. It was this young man who had brought them unparalleled glory. They firmly believed that under the young man's power, Under his leadership, they will surely achieve more victories until they can restore the dignity of Bakhan's tribe and regain a piece of land of their own.
The people in Bahan's department were excited, but many of the rangers looked confused because they noticed that beside the barbarian knights, there were about a hundred rangers who were also tied there, and they were also low-level. He held his head, looking guilty.
What is going on? They are our own people. Why does Duke Zhongguo treat his own people like this?
Sun Fuhu was standing in the crowd, with the same confused look on his face. But in comparison, he had already made a decision, that is, he would question Duke Zhongguo later on why he treated his brother like this. He kept saying this all the way. He said that he would treat the rangers as brothers and treat them as his own people like the guards of the loyal government. But what he is doing now must be explained to him.
There was no need for Sun Fuhu to ask, Shen Ao had already spoken first. "Everyone, today is a day worth celebrating. We have won another great victory. For this reason, we will have a dinner for everyone later. We will have enough meat and rice. That's enough. As for the wine, we won't do it during the war."
"Hahaha, okay!" The crowd immediately burst out with bursts of good-natured laughter. Needless to say, these were the cavalry of Bukhan's unit and the guards of the Zhongguo Duke's mansion.
On the other hand, the more than two thousand rangers stood there indifferently, obviously their attention was still on their fellow rangers who were kneeling and tied up.
Shen Ao saw the reaction of the Ranger lineup, but did not explain it, because the next actions will explain everything. He will tell everyone with actual actions what is going on.
"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. Before that, we still have to discuss merits and reward them. The victory this time depends entirely on everyone's bravery to kill the enemy. According to the previous promise of our Lord, now is the time when meritorious deeds will be rewarded. .Come! Our heroes are invited to enter."
As soon as Shen Ao finished speaking, he took the lead in applauding. Although this kind of etiquette in later generations is not practiced now, seeing him doing this, others still followed suit and applauded.
Under the thunderous applause, Shi Lei, Feng Wanli and others jumped out, their faces all red, obviously they were extremely excited at this moment.
After a while, nearly a hundred heroes stood up one by one, forming three rows before their appearance was complete. There were more than thirty rangers among them, and the rest were Shi Lei and a group of guards. Originally, Shen Ao also wanted Xue Fei, Ao Qi and others to stand up and receive the award, but they declined.
There is no need for reward for doing things for the young master. This is what they should do in the first place.
After everyone stood still, Shen Ao continued to speak: "Shi Lei, kill thirty-six barbarians, including one centurion and thirty-five soldiers. The reward is four hundred and fifty taels of silver."
As soon as Shen Ao finished reading, Feng Xun came up with a plate filled with silver nuggets, which naturally attracted waves of envy in everyone's eyes.
