With the arrival of reinforcements, the Xuan army on the hillside was in high spirits, and some of their strength seemed to have recovered in an instant.
Su Ping'an took the time to glance in the direction of the reinforcements, and then saw a black figure, like a bolt of lightning, rushing into the enemy formation on the side.
If you look closely, you will see that it is a man in his forties, wearing dark golden armor and holding a long spear. The cloak behind him was pulled straight by the wind because of his speed.
The man was not tall or burly, and looked ordinary, but every time he took a shot after charging into the enemy group on horseback, he could always take away the life of a barbarian with one shot, which made people admire him.
.
"Yue Jian!"
Although Su Ping'an didn't know this legendary figure, when he saw that figure, the name immediately popped into his mind.
Just because that man was so dazzling, no one could ignore his presence even on the battlefield.
He rode his horse and charged through the crowd of barbarians, his golden armor and silver spears roaring back and forth. It was as if he was in an uninhabited land, and he cut a hole in the barbarian soldiers' ranks.
"Yue Jian!"
The leader of the barbarians soon noticed Yue Jian's arrival and let out a loud shout, his tone full of anger.
With the reinforcements coming from Yue Jian, they quickly hit the enemy's camp. The attack and killing momentum of the barbarians was immediately cut off, and the pressure on the soldiers of the forward battalion on the hillside was also relieved.
Seeing this scene, although the leader of the barbarians was unwilling to give in, he also knew that with Yue's arrows coming, the revenge of the vanguard camp's destruction of their camp could not be avenged, so he could only order a retreat.
Because he didn't know if there was still a large army behind Yue Jian, he was also afraid of being surrounded.
Woo~~~
The sound of horns for the barbarians' retreat soon resounded throughout the hills. The barbarians retreated as quickly as they wanted, very quickly, and not willing to fight at all.
"No need to chase!"
The people from the forward camp were about to pursue them, but were quickly stopped by Yue Jian.
This time Yue Jian came to the rescue with only 5,000 cavalry, which is why he came so quickly. There was no big army behind him at all. He was just trying to scare the barbarians.
Nowadays, it is very rare to scare the enemy away. If they are chasing, it is simply a bit arrogant. The barbarian soldiers attack fiercely and retreat very quickly. In the blink of an eye, not even a single barbarian soldier can be seen, leaving only a place.
The mess, blood and corpses.
After the battle, Yue Jian arrived at the hillside and decisively dismounted, then walked straight towards the top of the hill.
Su Ping'an saw Yue Jian walking by. Although the other person was just an ordinary person, when he looked at the latter's approaching figure, he actually felt an overwhelming pressure, like a fierce tiger.
"As expected of the protagonist of this story, he is really impressive, awesome!"
Su Ping'an watched Yue Jian rendezvous with the generals of the forward battalion, and then the injured general Leng Qian of the forward battalion immediately staged a scene with Yue Jian in which the general rushed thousands of miles to save people, and the deputy general was injured and moved to tears, and then knelt down and swore allegiance to the death.
.
However, although this crisis has passed, Su Pingan is always thinking about one thing in his heart, "Since Yue Jian is so outstanding and brave, how did he lose in the last battle?!"
It goes without saying that a person who can have a Confucian saint personally write a biography for him must have abilities and achievements, but for such a person, not only was he defeated miserably in the end, but his entire army was wiped out, which is a bit puzzling.
But this also vaguely shows that the final battle is definitely not simple.
"I still have to improve my strength as soon as possible!"
Su Ping'an sighed. He felt the literary energy in his body again. After this battle, his realm has been promoted to the sixth realm of scribes. It is definitely still far behind his peak level, but in this army,
He can already be considered a first-class warrior, but this is obviously not enough for his goal.
The army then reorganized and counted the number of people lightly.
When the forward battalion came out yesterday afternoon, there were still more than 7,000 people. However, after two battles, there are now only more than 3,000 people left. More than half of them have been lost. It can be said that the casualties are heavy.
Su Ping'an's team had more than thirty people when they went out, but now there are only nineteen people left, which also made Zhang Bin's face look grim.
The atmosphere in the army was a little gloomy for a while. Yue Jian stood on the top of the mountain and looked at the corpses of soldiers who died in the mountains and fields. His expression was extremely sad. The general beside him couldn't bear to see it and even whispered to comfort him: "General, we were here last night.
We raided the barbarian camp and killed over 10,000 barbarians. Although there were flaws in the plan later and nearly half of the forward battalion was lost, we still won this battle!"
"Yes, General, we lost 3,000 in battle and killed over 10,000 enemies. This is already an amazing achievement!" Other generals also agreed.
But Yue Jian shook his head and said with a sad look on his face: "What kind of victory? For us, there is no victory in war. We could have avoided the war. Our soldiers should have stayed in their hometowns to live a good life and be with us."
It belongs to my family, but now more than half of them have been lost here. As long as the barbarians do not retreat, we will never win!"
All the soldiers who spoke these words fell silent.
Soon, the army set off and returned to the camp. The atmosphere of the army was a bit gloomy along the way. Even Zhang Bin, who had always been carefree, could not find a smile on his face.
When we returned to the military camp, it was already morning. The army had fought two battles in a row and traveled all night. Everyone was exhausted. The soldiers almost didn't eat anything and just fell asleep. Even Su Ping'an was no exception.
I don't know how much time passed, but when Su Ping'an woke up again, it was already very late. A bonfire had been lit in the military camp outside, and the aroma of cooking meat floated in through the camp tent.
"smell good!"
Su Ping'an woke up from hunger, with the drums in his stomach pounding like thunder. When he followed the smell of meat and walked out of the tent, he saw Zhang Bin leading the group in front of a bonfire. Dozens of men around him also behaved in the same way.
He held a bowl filled with broth, then took a mouthful of flatbread and a mouthful of soup, all of which were delicious.
"Tiewazi, you're awake, come here quickly, the broth has been served for you, drink it while it's hot!"
Su Ping'an was not polite. He walked up to the front and picked up the broth. He picked up a bag as big as a human head and took a big bite. Then he swallowed the broth and a sense of fulfillment immediately surged throughout his body. To sum up, this is
Two words: Comfortable!
When he was eating, Zhang Bin had already finished eating. He put down the bowl and wiped his mouth, and then introduced to Su Pingan: "From today on, these people around are all members of our team. In the previous battle, our team
The personnel attrition was serious, so the superiors transferred all other teams that were also severely attrited and assigned them to us as a replacement for us."
"That's a good thing." Su Ping'an responded without raising his head, and then continued eating.
Zhang Bin nodded and continued: "It's a good thing. So Nian has performed well in battles before you, and I have recommended you to the superiors to be the new commander of this team. What do you think?"
"Um?"
Hearing this, Su Pingan finally raised his head. His mouth was even filled with big cakes, so he looked a little silly for a while.
