The big scuffle, three days and three nights.

Victory is not as easy as you dream. The defeated Turks were not willing to be captured, and no one wanted to wait for death. So they fled and scattered, and the remaining group of people who didn't have time to escape fought back on the spot and started a battle of trapped beasts.

After all, there were not many men and horses under Xue Shao, and more than half of the troops, and the elite cavalry, were all taken out by Xue Chuyu and Niu Ben. Guo Yuanzhen and Duan Feng led their men and horses to face the Turkic enemy army that was several times their size, and it was quite laborious to fight this upcoming victory battle.

It is difficult for Qiao women to cook without rice, and Xue Shao has no right to blame them.

The Don army suffered casualties. Although this is nothing compared to the large-scale rout of the Turks, who called Xue Shao's "family background" too thin?

Every time a wounded person was added to the military fort, Xue Shao's heart had to be tightened. Because, unlike the general Tang Army combat troops, the Yinchuan Military Fort is almost full of soldiers, and there are no logistics personnel such as fireheads and people, let alone a special military medical team. In order to take care of the wounded, Xue Shao picked out Zhang Cheng and Wu Yuan, who were proficient in medical skills, from among his scouts, and asked the two of them to temporarily catch some strong men for rough training, and began to go around saving lives and helping the wounded.

With the medical level of the Tang Dynasty, most of the people who were wounded on the battlefield were either dead or disabled. Of course, if it is a minor injury, it is not the turn of the military doctor to take care of it, which makes a large number of veterans who have been in the army all year round become half a doctor themselves. Small troubles such as headaches, brain fever, hemostasis, and bandaging, they have to deal with them themselves.

On the third day, when the morning light was slightly dewed, the sound of earth-shaking trumpets and shouts suddenly came from the southeast. Xue Shao hurriedly climbed the watchtower, and saw with his own eyes the smoke and dust billowing in the southeast direction, and the red flags were displayed, and the cavalry all over the mountains rushed into the big battlefield of Qingyang Mountain like a storm.

"It's coming!" Xue Shao let out a long sigh of relief, and suddenly felt a light under his feet, and almost fell headlong.

Guo An hurriedly hugged Xue Shao, "Young marshal, go down and rest!" ”

Xue Shao nodded with a wry smile, "I'm ashamed, my body is a little weak." ”

"Did the young marshal forget, you were still unconscious in Yanchang a few days ago, and you were lucky enough to pick up a life? Before you recovered, you took your brothers to the Yinchuan military camp for thousands of miles, and you never got a moment of recuperation. Guo An sighed and said, "You are also a mortal person, how can you be worthy?" ”

Xue Shao smiled: "Listening to your tone, it's a bit like a moon slave." ”

Guo An smiled bitterly, "Don't laugh, young marshal, your subordinates will help you down." If it's okay, don't come up again, and let your subordinates look out for you. ”

"I don't need to persuade you. If you want me to come up in the future, I won't come up again. Xue Shao said with a smile while climbing the ladder, "Li Duozuo is here, finally the overall situation has been decided, I can rest assured!" ”

Guo An thought for a while and said: "My subordinates are thinking, from the imperial court to the young marshal, the most capable general left is none other than Li Duozuo." The imperial court did not send him to Hebei to defend against the enemy, but he came to Helong, I don't know what arrangements will be made on the Hebei side? ”

"Don't think about it." Xue Shao said without thinking, "This kind of thing, let the people who should worry about it worry about it." We just have to do our best to do our part. ”

"Yes!"

At noon, the head of the military fort.

Xue Shao had eaten lunch and lay on a large chair, drowsy. Guo An persuaded him to go back to the house to sleep, but Xue Shao refused to say that he wanted to watch the battle here. Less than three minutes after saying this, Xue Shao fell asleep.

After days of nervousness and exhaustion, now that he is a little relaxed, Xue Shao has slept really deeply. All the golden sleep methods became floating clouds, and he snored loudly in an ugly sleeping position, and the snoring sound alarmed the soldiers guarding the city gates.

Guo An asked someone to bring a quilt to cover Xue Shao. The people around him laughed and said that the young marshal was asleep and was also supervising the battle in the city.

At the foot of Qingyang Mountain, fierce battles are raging.

A cavalry soared under the banner of "Li" and escorted a team of people in mixed clothes to run towards the military fort. The soldiers guarding the city hurriedly reported, Guo An thought for a while and didn't wake up Xue Shao, who was sleeping, and came to the city gate to greet him.

Li Duozuo, who was bloody, rode to the gate of the city first, turned over and dismounted with unusually vigorous skills, strode in front of Guo An, and shouted: "Where is the young marshal?!" ”

The soldiers defending the city were all shocked, and Li Duozuo's momentum was too strong. It doesn't seem to be so polite to Guo An.

"General Li, the young marshal hasn't slept for a few days and nights, and he just slept for a while. His subordinates did not dare to disturb, so he dared to replace the young marshal and came here to greet General Li. If there is any rudeness, I hope General Li will forgive him! Guo An disagreed, and replied with a smile on his face. He can understand Li Duozuo's current attitude very well - he has just fought fiercely on the battlefield, and his whole body is awe-inspiring, which is reasonable.

"Oh......" Listening to Guo An's words, Li Duozuo blinked, he also came back to his senses a little, and hugged Guo An with a guilty face and said: "Li is reckless, General Guo don't blame!" ”

"You're welcome." Guo An responded, and his eyes were suddenly attracted by the person behind Li Duozuo.

One, the last person to be here.

The man rode forward a few steps on his horse, smiled and said tactfully, "General Guo, when can we meet Young Marshal Xue?" ”

Xuanyunzi? How did she get here?

Guo An was slightly stunned, and smiled bitterly for Xue Shao in his heart, and bowed with his fists: "You can do it now." General Lee...... Immortal Gu, as well as all the generals in robes, please come with me! ”

"Not in a hurry." Li Duozuo hurriedly persuaded Guo An and said, "Let the young marshal rest for a while." Let's settle the next group first. ”

"Who?" Guo An glanced behind them, except for more than a hundred Yulin cavalrymen, most of the others were civilian-looking people, both men and women.

"They're all healers." Xuan Yunzi replied, "There are the military doctors and attendants in General Li's army, and there are also many doctors and scholars I invited from Suizhou to volunteer for Buddhist believers. They carried a lot of medical supplies and came to help the wounded of our army. ”

"Alright, alright, just in time." Guo An was very excited when he heard this, "We are short of military doctors - let them come quickly, and I will take them to the medical shed!" ”

"I'll go too." Xuan Yunzi smiled slightly and said, "They all came with me, and I will take them with me personally." ”

"Okay...... Fairy Gu, please! Guo An was very stunned, and after thinking for a long time, he remembered that when he was fighting against Bai Tieyu, Xuanyunzi was in Suizhou, the heyday of Buddhism, but he made a great reputation. The good men and women there worshipped Xuanyunzi as a god and honored her as "Shengying".

Guo An led the way, and Li Duozuo and Xuan Yunzi escorted about 500 doctors to the Juntun Medical Shed. There are already hundreds of wounded here, most of them seriously. There was a pool of blood and wailing everywhere, and the scene was miserable. Zhang Cheng and Wu Yuan were busy with more than a dozen half-dropped fake military doctors, but they couldn't really save a few people. Most of the seriously injured can only lie on the hospital bed, either wailing and screaming, or waiting quietly for death.

Many of the volunteer doctors were horrified when they saw this scene. Especially some good men and women who eat fasting and recite Buddha, before they came, they thought that they should use great compassion to follow Shengying to save the dead and help the wounded.

Xuan Yunzi turned over and dismounted, hung the white robe on the horse's back, rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the medical shed.

"Help!"

As soon as she shouted these two words, a group of military doctors and Lang Zhong strode up with medicine boxes to follow. The remaining group of good men and women hesitated for a moment, and then gritted their teeth and followed.

Xuan Yunzi was the first to come to the wounded man with half a spear stuck in his calf. The wounded man may have been numb from the pain and didn't scream, but just stared at Xuan Yunzi with wide eyes, as if he was demented.

"There was too much blood loss, and this calf has been necrotic and needs to be sawed off."

"Can't saw!" The wounded shouted, "How can I fight without a leg?" ”

"If you don't saw it now, your whole leg will be gone, and people will die." Xuan Yunzi looked at him and said, "Do you want a leg or a life?" ”

"......" the wounded were silent.

"It's going to hurt, I'll give you a bowl of anesthetic soup." Xuan Yunzi said and went to rummage through the box.

"No, you can see it!" The wounded man was very calm and said, "If I scream in pain, it's all a dog's mother's breed!" ”

"Well done!" Xuanyunzi bit it, "Saw, come!" ”

The believer used a saw to detoxify it with flames and handed it to Xuan Yunzi.

Xuan Yunzi did it.

The creaking saw sounded, the blood and flesh splashed so that everyone could not look directly, and the saw sound made people's hearts hairy, their scalps tingling, and even their legs weak.

Xuan Yunzi was splashed with a lot of blood on his face, but he was still holding his breath and concentrating. The wounded man struggled to pull the edge of the bed with both hands, bit a thick rag in his mouth, straightened his neck and stared at Xuan Yunzi with wide eyes. Later, he couldn't help but spit out the rags, screamed loudly, and shouted, "Legs, legs!" If you can have such a beautiful fairy sawing you, you're fucking worth it! ”

The helper beside Xuan Yunzi pressed him down, and then bit him the rag.

Many of the wounded were crying. A few believers were probably really frightened, sitting cross-legged on the ground, closing their eyes, and chanting the Buddha's name, trembling for a while.

Xuan Yunzi snorted, "Or don't come!" Since you're here, I'm going to help the military doctors and Lang Zhong! ”

"Good...... Good! The believers got up one after another, put away the Buddhist beads, rolled up their sleeves, and got busy working in all directions.

Guo An and Li Duozuo watched quietly, but they both felt a little shocked in their hearts.

"We have always believed that we are fearless in killing people." Li Duozuo said, "But I never knew that saving people actually requires more courage." ”

"Young handsome woman......" Guo An shook his head and sighed, "It's really not simple!" ”

"Both?" Li Duozuo suddenly laughed.

"Yes." Guo An also smiled, and waved his hand to signal Li Duozuo to follow.

The two left the medical shed, and Guo An asked, "General Li, why did Xuan Yunzi get here?" ”

"It's really, a long story." Li Duozuo said, "In a word, the Queen Mother asked her to come." In her hand, she also held the holy decree issued by the imperial court to the young marshal. ”

Guo An blinked his eyes and whispered, "But the young marshal must be particularly reluctant to see her here." ”

Li Duozuo smiled bitterly, "Then what's the solution?" It's all coming! ”

Guo An was entangled for a while, and had to sigh, "Then I can only tell the truth." ”

Soon after.

Xue Shao, who had slept hard, finally woke up, feeling like he had slept for a lifetime. Looking at the sky, the sunset was as dazzling as blood, and it was already dusk.

"Guo An, where is Guo An?"

The scouts around him hurriedly reported and said that Guo An had gone to the city to greet Li Duozuo and General Li and his party.

"Bastard, you didn't wake me up!" Xue Shao turned over and got up, "Where are the people, take me to meet them!" ”

"Young marshal, we're here!"

A deep voice came from the steps of the city tower, and Li Duozuo strode over, followed by Guo An and several generals.

Xue Shao strode over and gave him a strong bear hug from the other side, "Good brother, it's too late!" ”

"Young marshal, you can't favor one over the other!" A loud voice rang out, and a big man as tall as Niu Ben burst in.

"Cheng Boxian!" Xue Shao laughed, "Then should I jump up and hug you?" ”

"Haha!" The crowd burst into laughter.

"Young marshal, and me!" Cui Hejian, the deputy envoy of the thousand horses, stood up, "I haven't seen you for a long time, the young marshal is healthy!" ”

"Young marshal, and us!"

The three of them stood up together, and Xue Shao's personal entourage that he had once brought in Zuo Fengchenwei, Tang Zhen, Pan Yi and Lu Siyi, now they are all five-rank generals in the Royal Forest Army.

"Good...... It's coming, it's all good! Xue Shao was so excited that his voice trembled a little, and he shouted loudly, "Come on, serve the wine!" ”
