"We were only halfway there when the scouts discovered that 2,000 people were coming from the east and wanted to sneak up on us in the dark. I think it was the Tibetan army that blocked the north gate. There were also 3,000 people coming from the south..."
Zhang Liang briefly recounted the battle last night, and finally said: "Later, the highest warning was issued from Damang Slope. I discussed it with my brothers and killed them back."
"You were besieged by five thousand people?"
Jin Feng was shocked: "How are the casualties, brothers?"
Most of the 500 bodyguards who stayed at Damang Slope were killed in the battle, and those who survived were all more or less injured.
There are not even a hundred people who can continue to fight.
If the black-armored team suffered serious casualties again, Jin Feng would be heartbroken.
"A total of sixty-six men and women were killed in the battle. Because I was anxious to get back, I found a place to hide the bodies."
Zhang Liang said: "There are still a few female soldiers injured, but they are not fatal injuries. They can just rest for a while."
"Thanks for your hard work!"
Jin Feng stood up and patted Zhang Liang on the shoulder.
Qing Mulan and Ninth Princess also looked at Zhang Liang with admiration.
Although the Black Armor team did not directly participate in the war, they were under the greatest pressure.
After all, Danzhu only sent 6,000 men to attack Damang Slope, and only 5,000 men were sent to attack Zhang Liang from both front and rear.
If flash bombs and grenades hadn't destroyed the enemy's psychological defense, thousands of people could have killed the black-armored team!
Even with the equipment advantages of flash bombs, grenades, and black armor, it is extremely dangerous to be surrounded by enemies ten times your size.
It is almost a miracle that the Black Armor team can achieve this result.
After all, no matter how good the black armor's defense is, it cannot block all damage.
The gap between the helmet and breastplate, as well as the face, are weak points in defense.
And once these places are attacked, they will basically be fatally injured.
This is also the reason why only the male bodyguards were killed in battle and there were not many wounded.
"This is what brothers eat. If you are not afraid of death, you are afraid that your death will not be worth it."
Zhang Liang said: "Many brothers said that thanks to my husband, I have such good armor and weapons. This time I fought beautifully, which is enough for everyone to brag about for a lifetime!"
"Brother Liang, that's all right. Have you learned how to flatter him?" Jin Feng glanced at Zhang Liang unexpectedly.
Is this boring gourd also enlightened?
"It's not flattery, brothers really said that."
Zhang Liang said: "Sir, I don't know how hard it was for our brothers to fight in the past. Not to mention the armor and weapons, the military rations were also withheld by those young masters, and they couldn't even have enough to eat."
"Sir, what Brother Liang said is true. One time we fought with the Dangxiang people. There were less than a hundred people on the other side, but there were more than a thousand of us."
Da Liu also showed a look of reminiscence: "The party members don't have Sir's armor, and they don't have flash grenades. Logically speaking, we can kill them with a pile of people, but we still lost."
"Why?" Jin Feng asked.
"Because the food we ate the first day was moldy, and the brothers worked hard all night and could barely stand up. How could we still have the strength to fight?"
Da Liu smiled bitterly and said: "When the official saw that the momentum was not right, he ran away on horseback. Who has the heart to fight for it? He can only be chased by party members and killed at will!"
I was lucky, I tripped and rolled into a ditch, and the party members were too lazy to chase me, so I managed to save my life."
The Ninth Princess was standing aside, looking a little unnatural.
But Zhang Liang and Da Liu were lying if they said they had no resentment in their hearts, so they didn't avoid it and even told her intentionally.
In this regard, the Ninth Princess was also helpless.
She knew that the two of them were not lying. It was a very common imagination for a dandy general to deduct military rations and pay.
There are very few people like Qinghuai who use fief taxes to subsidize themselves.
Jin Feng is the only one in the whole Dakang who spends all his life to spend money on the bodyguards and buy equipment for the bodyguards.
That's why the bodyguard is so loyal and willing to fight for Jin Feng.
"The past is over," Jin Feng said, "By the way, where did you hide the bodies of the brothers? Send people to bring them back as soon as possible. There are many wild animals in the mountains, so don't be in trouble."
"I just arranged for someone to go there." Zhang Liang pointed to Jin Feng's feet and asked, "Sir, why are you injured too?"
Jin Feng was a little embarrassed when he heard this.
He was really shameless to say that he was stepped on by Qin'er...
Just when I was thinking about how to change the topic, I suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the bottom of the mountain.
Jin Feng's heart skipped a beat as he jumped around the boulder and looked down the hillside.
Zhang Liang, Qing Mulan and others also ran over immediately.
Just as embarrassed as Jin Feng was the Ninth Princess.
Jin Feng was hopping on one foot, while Ninth Princess only saw two legs moving and did not dare to move her arms. It looked quite strange.
At the foot of the hillside, a cavalry team of about three to four hundred people was seen running wildly along the official road.
The Wei Sheng army at the foot of the mountain suddenly felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and they all got up from the ground.
Zhang Liang turned around and ran down the mountain without saying a word.
At this time, Wei Sheng's army was almost crippled, and the only one who could resist the cavalry was probably the black-armored team.
"Brother Liang, don't be nervous, he's my brother!"
Qing Mulan saw the cavalry flag clearly and shouted at Zhang Liang's back.
At the bottom of the mountain, Wei Shengjun also recognized that he was one of his own and put down their weapons one after another.
Jin Feng was also relieved.
At this time, everyone was at the end of their strength. If hundreds of cavalry were to come, even if they could be repelled in the end, they would probably suffer heavy casualties.
But if it's a teammate, that's another story.
They can take over the defense, and Wei Shengjun and the bodyguards can also take a break.
When Qing Xinyao arrived at the foot of the mountain, Meng Tianhai was already waiting by the roadside.
"Sir!" Meng Tianhai bowed and saluted.
Qing Xinyao asked anxiously: "Where are Wuyang and Mu Lan?"
"Your Highness and Miss Mu Lan are fine. They are on the mountain with Mr. Jin!"
Meng Tianhai pointed to the top of the mountain.
When Qing Xinyao heard this, he let out a long breath.
Fortunately, the two people he cares about most are fine.
"Meng Tianhai, I'll leave the people I brought to you, you can make arrangements!"
Qing Xinyao turned his head and confessed, leading his bodyguards and galloping up the mountain.
When we reached the top of the mountain, we immediately looked for the Ninth Princess and Qing Mulan.
After confirming that the two of them were really fine, the stone in my heart finally fell to the ground.
Seeing Qing Mulan and Amei covered in blood, they couldn't help but frown.
However, after confirming that Qing Mulan had no arms or legs and was still alive and kicking, he didn't ask any more questions.
He strode up to the Ninth Princess, bowed and said, "I am late to save you, please punish me, Your Highness!"
The battle took place right outside the gate of Xichuan City. As the leader guarding Xichuan, it was indeed unjustifiable that he did not rush to the rescue immediately.
But the Ninth Princess and Qing Xinyao were cousins, so Jin Feng thought that the Ninth Princess would just say a few polite words and just go through the motions and end the story.
It turned out that the Ninth Princess looked rather unkind and her tone was businesslike:
"Lord Qing, you did not provide timely reinforcements, which resulted in heavy casualties among the soldiers. Lord Qing must give me an explanation for this matter!"
