"Please decide. "The senior obviously didn't want to give his opinion, just saluted.

Liu Heng glanced at him unceremoniously, but finally didn't say anything to him, "Then go to the side a little more, and stay away from them first." ”

"Yes. ”

After hearing his decision, the senior still did not comment, and bowed and promised.

Liu Heng didn't bother to pay attention to him, and discussed a few words with Uncle He, and then turned the military flag to make the battle formation faintly change, and opened the direction of retreat and the rest of the remnants of the army a lot.

Seeing that the Hu cavalry behind him could not be attacked for a long time, and the loss of personnel was too intense, the general led by him finally ordered to retreat, so that the two armies were separated, and the ghost of the trail lingered, obviously waiting for the opportunity.

Because the number of remnants of the army that Liu Heng has brought together is not large, no more than two hundred, but there are surprisingly many officers and generals. There are two regiment commanders alone, and there are even more regiment deputies, captains, team deputies, and even grain and grass officers, which is equivalent to a big military merit at his fingertips, and he naturally doesn't want to give up.

However, the battle damage was too staggering, just because the opponent resisted extremely hard.

The two armies were entangled for no more than a cup of tea, and they fought for more than a mile, but countless lives were left on this road, full of blood and bones, among which there were remnants of the Great Xia army, but they also had many casualties. After the battle, he roughly counted, and there were at least thirty or forty dead and wounded, plus the running rats, the battle damage was close to twenty percent, which made his face more and more gloomy.

Fortunately, the damage of this remnant army of Great Xia is similar, which shows that the strength of the two armies is also similar, and the next comparison is no longer the strength of the two armies, but other aspects.

The time of the campaign has been extended, and the two armies have compared their fighting spirit and combat experience, and who will hold out longer and who will have more means will be the final winner. Compared with these, the Hu cavalry generals led by him are full of confidence, because no matter how they think about it, their side has a better chance of winning, how can a broken new army be compared with such an elite force as them?

Even, the longer it drags on, the more the victory scales will tilt towards their side, and maybe it only takes a moment to win the battle.

So what they need to do now is to act like wolves, wait quietly for their opponents to get tired or make mistakes, and then wait for the opportunity to move, and that's enough.

They have a lot of patience after being on the battlefield.

"It's really not fun. After a break from the battle, Niu Ziaxe drove the chariot back, steaming and drying the blood stains all over his body, shaking off the meat and broken bones hanging on his body, and muttering unhappily to Liu Heng: "Just got up, these dogs actually retreated." ”

Liu Heng smiled: "Anyway, it's still behind, there is always a chance to fight again." ”

Niu Ziaxe pouted, "You said that these dogs, they all thought they were like wolves and tigers, but who knew that they really started to find out that they were also a group of cowards!"

He scolded and scolded, making the surrounding soldiers laugh, and he also laughed and scolded, and continued to mock and ridicule Hu Qi behind him. Seeing this, Liu Heng just smiled and listened, and did not stop him, just because he found that after this battle, the morale of the remnants of the army was greatly boosted.

The result of this battle was undefeated and evenly matched, but it eliminated the shadow of fear left by the Beihu cavalry in the hearts of the soldiers. As Niu Ziaxe said, they only found out after fighting that Hu Qi's strength was not much stronger than them, but that's it.

As soon as the shadow disappeared, and when he looked at Hu Qi again, he lost his original fear, and his fighting spirit gradually increased.

For Liu Heng, this is also the result he wants to see the most, with such morale, the next battle will be much easier.

At least it will not be like at the beginning, when it was broken by Hu Qi and suffer a big defeat.

"The military heart is available. The senior said in a hoarse voice.

Liu Heng nodded, and shouted at the soldiers: "Wait until this group of dogs is pulled farther away, ten miles away, and then make them suffer a lot, so that they have no return!"

Hearing this, all the soldiers were shocked and applauded in unison.

"It's time to make a big scene and kill a lot!" Niu Ziaxe laughed loudly, causing the soldiers around him to echo him, "Captain Niu, you have to leave some military merits for us when the time comes, don't just care about your own pleasure!"

"That's right, we're still counting on meritorious service!"

"Captain Niu is more restrained, don't be killed by you!"

Niu Ziaxe laughed out loud when he heard this, and then laughed and scolded them: "When the time comes, be smarter, don't just know how to fight for military merits and lose your own life!"

"How is that possible?"

"Captain Niu is too underestimating, right?"

Hearing the coaxing of everyone, Niu Ziaxe did not care about his identity, laughed and scolded them, and was happy for a while. After this battle, the heroic performance of Niu Ziaxe, who took the lead, won the hearts of the people, coupled with life and death, and then he was so approachable, which made everyone feel kind, and regarded him as their own in their hearts.

Compared with him, Liu Heng is more awe-inspiring, but he can't get close to him. However, Liu Heng is a very good general in the hearts of everyone, so that they deeply trust and respect, and they feel that they are worth following.

In addition to the two of them, the most impressive thing for all the soldiers is the senior year. This gives everyone the impression of indifference and slaughter, especially the picture of being in charge of the overseer and killing his own face without changing his face is deeply left in the hearts of everyone, and it is difficult to erase it.

Therefore, for the senior year, people are more afraid and afraid, and the feeling of Wagyu self-axe has become two extremes.

At this time, the senior scolded coldly, "No noise", and everyone suddenly became cold, which showed the power. Rao is Niu Ziaxe just glared at him with bull eyes, and the two looked at each other for a moment, and finally Niu Ziaxe scratched his head and pouted unnaturally, but he didn't dare to argue with the senior.

"Brother Jin, you are really a ...... of this regiment" Feeling a little embarrassed, Niu Ziaxe couldn't help but complain to Liu Heng, "Such unkindness, he should have been stuffed to the overseer's side a long time ago, I said, where did you find the talent?"

Liu Heng smiled when he heard this, "Now that he is an overseer, it seems that he is indeed making the best use of everything, and he is very qualified, let him be a full-time overseer in the future, what do you think, Brother Niu?"

"In the future?"

Niu Ziaxe raised his thick eyebrows, and said in surprise: "Listen to Brother Jin, is it possible that you still want to continue fighting?"

"Why not?" Liu Heng asked without answering.

Niu Ziaxe frowned, "Brother Jin, it's not that I, Niu, am cowardly, but in this situation, a guard and horse were crippled before they left the city, with our two hundred remnants, how can we continue?"

Liu Heng also frowned when he heard this, "What does Brother Niu mean?"

"If you want me to say it......" Niu Ziaxe rubbed the beard of his chin, and his eyes flashed: "You have also seen that in this kind of war, the five thousand soldiers and horses of the guard are just a drop in the ocean, and they will not play much role, let alone our soldiers and horses." The longer they stay in Beihu, the greater the risk of annihilation, and even if they encounter a group of dogs, they have no chance of winning. I think for the sake of today, when we have repelled the dogs behind us, let's withdraw the army, we don't have to hold on any longer, lest we toss all this bit of men and horses when it will be a pity?"

Liu Heng looked at him quietly, "Withdrawing the army, has Brother Niu thought about the result?"

Niu Ziaxe was stunned, his face became a little unsightly, and he hesitated: "It stands to reason that we have killed nearly a hundred dogs now, if we can eat the dogs behind us, it will be three hundred dogs, which is also a great military achievement, and the court should reward me, right?"

Liu Heng's eyes became deep, "Brother Niu, don't forget, before this military feat, we still belonged to Mochizuki, so the defeat is first, and the merit is last." When it comes to the imperial court, whether the merit is greater than the merit, or the merit is offset by the merit, or the merit is greater than the merit, is Brother Niu really sure?"

Niu Ziaxe was stunned when he heard this, but Liu Heng continued: "Besides, you and I are both from Bai Ding, and we don't have any military relations and backgrounds, aren't you afraid that when the time comes, the merits will be attributed to Liu Zhanji, and the fault will be made for you and me?"

The cow's mouth grew bigger and bigger, and it was obvious that he had thought about the benefits before, and he hadn't thought about it so thoroughly. Fortunately, he just didn't want to use his brain, he wasn't really stupid, after Liu Heng mentioned it, his heart suddenly woke up, and he naturally understood that what Liu Heng said was not impossible, but very likely to happen.

To enter the military camp, he had also inquired about the rules of the army before, and knew how difficult it was for Bai Ding to get ahead in the army.

Originally, he still wanted to take refuge in Liu Zhanji and seek a way to be promoted, but who would have thought that he would run into this big defeat before he had a relationship with Liu Zhanji, so the more he listened to Liu Heng, the more ugly his face became, and finally his eyes showed a fierce light, "It's a big deal, let's go out of the court, there is such a force of soldiers and horses under our hands, go back and occupy a mountain, you are the big master, I will be the second master, live a comfortable and chic life, this is always okay, right?"

He was furious at first, but the more he thought about it, the more interesting it became, and he gradually became excited: "We have people under us, why worry that there is no way out, what do you think, Brother Jin?"

Liu Heng shook his head with a smile, "Why do you bother to talk angry, Brother Niu, you should also know that it is impossible." Don't say that Zhanshan is the queen who is worried all day long, for fear of being surrounded and suppressed by the court, just say that you tell everyone, how many people will follow you, have you thought about it?"

Seeing that Niu Ziaxe was suddenly speechless, Liu Heng continued to say meaningfully: "In the case of Brother Niu himself, joining the army must not be to attract people to be the king of the mountain, right?"

A thought was dissipated by Liu Heng again, Niu Ziaxe paced back and forth on the chariot, and said irritably: "Then with Brother Jin's intentions, what should I do?"

Liu Heng said at this time: "Let's join the army in order to glorify our ancestors and have a good future for our family, children and grandchildren and ourselves, otherwise with your and my strength, you can mix well anywhere, why come here to do the work with your head, Brother Niu, you say this is the truth, right?"

When Niu Ziaxe heard this, he said, "That's nature!"

"In that case, why don't we try more?" Liu Heng's eyes shone brightly, "Now we are in a dilemma, in my opinion, it is nothing more than military merit is not enough." It is too easy for someone to snatch up a mere 300 military merits, but if you make up a whole number and get thousands of military merits, or even 2,000, 3,000, or even 5,000, who will dare to snatch them from you?"

Niu Ziaxe was also shocked when he heard this, and was stunned for a moment before he said: "With this remnant army of less than two hundred, to win such military merits? Brother Jin, what a big spirit......

Liu Heng smiled arrogantly, "If you don't even have this bit of courage, how dare you come to join the army?"

This remark obviously gave Niu Ziaxe a great shock, which was something he didn't dare to think about before, but now that he was mentioned by Liu Heng, he was excited, but his heart was in a mess, "Brother Jin, your heart is too high, let me, let me think about it again......"

Liu Heng nodded, "Anyway, it's not in a hurry, Brother Niu is thinking about it slowly." ”

Niu Ziaxe nodded in a trance, glancing at Liu Heng from time to time, and his eyes became complicated. After talking, Liu Heng almost subverted Niu Ziaxe's impression of him, and Niu Ziaxe realized that this seemingly ordinary Jin Lai was not simple, at least he was bold, which was really impressive, far from extraordinary.

He couldn't help but think of what happened not long ago, when he just learned that the head of the Hundred Feathers Regiment was not Zhao Wuming but this Jin. At that time, everyone thought that the commander of the Hundred Feathers Regiment must be Zhao Wuming, who wanted to wait until the canonization order came down, but it was this seemingly ordinary Jin Lai who shocked the commanders of the regiment, second only to the matter of the five battalion commanders.

Immediately after, they naturally secretly inquired about Jin Lai's affairs, and heard that as soon as Jin Lai arrived at the Hundred Feather Regiment, Zhao Wuming was overturned, and the position of the head of the Hundred Feather Regiment changed hands in just half a day, and they knew what a fierce man he was.

It's really violent!

Therefore, in the face of Liu Heng later, the group leaders showed their friendship one after another.

At that time, Niu Ziaxe thought that he was high enough to look up to Liu Heng, but he didn't expect that after the defeat, this Jin Lai would be able to pull together such a remnant army as the head of the regiment, second only to the congratulations of the Qingyue Battalion, and now he is even more arrogant, making him faintly feel that he still underestimated this Jin Lai.

It seems that after the defeat, this person is sharp, showing a dazzling brilliance.

Now looking at the other party again, Niu Ziaxe inexplicably gave birth to an indescribable emotion in his heart, and he couldn't tell whether it was admiration or jealousy, "Could this be what the book says, 'The golden scales are not in the pool, and they will turn into dragons when they encounter wind and clouds'?"

On the other hand, although he is the same head of the regiment, he seems to have been completely compared to the other party, thinking of this, he is naturally not very comfortable.

The two of them had their own thoughts, and they didn't speak for a while. Until he withdrew more than ten miles away, Liu Heng stared at the Hu cavalry in the rear, and saw that they were still just hanging behind, without the slightest intention of attacking again, and gradually frowned and said: "It's not a way to go on like this." ”

The senior saluted and said, "Please make it clear to Shangguan." ”

"It's not a good thing to keep it like this. After Liu Heng groaned, he said a few words to the senior speaker, and the senior hugged his fist and promised, so he rode away and went to the battle array.

Niu Ziaxe inevitably asked curiously, "What is Brother Jin's idea?"

Liu Heng's eyes flashed slightly, "As far as we are concerned, it is better to solve it while the morale is at its peak now." But looking at the back of Hu Qi, it is not to see the rabbit and not to scatter the eagle, so it will inevitably become more and more tricky to drag on. I thought that since this was the case, it was better to sell flaws, seduce Hu Qi to take the initiative to attack, and solve it as soon as possible. ”

Niu Ziaxe suddenly, no longer asked, and said excitedly: "Okay, you take the idea, I will be responsible for charging into battle, just kill the enemy!"

"It still depends on whether Hu Qi will take the bait. Liu Heng said with a smile.

"These dogs are really grinding, if they don't have mounts, they are too fast, why are they so troublesome?" Niu Ziaxe complained, very dissatisfied.

Indeed, because Hu Cai, as a cavalryman, was far faster than them, he firmly grasped the initiative on the battlefield, making them very passive, and no one would like this feeling.

End or start, war or retreat, they don't have the right to decide, only Hu Qi can make a choice calmly, they can only be tired of coping, and if it goes on like this, it will only become more and more troublesome.

Liu Heng's eyes followed the figure of the senior year, "This depends on the ability of the deputy of the group." ”

He'd also like to see how his senior will figure it out. (To be continued.) )
