The soldiers looked at the long-lost light, exhausted and numb.
Their faces were stained with blood.
So much so that countless people suddenly bent down and retched desperately.
The salty smell of blood in the air is even more terrifying.
It's a hell on earth.
In fact, the battle was not too long.
Less than an hour.
But everyone involved in this fight felt like they had lived a lifetime.
Xue Li looked for Li Mu among the standing living people in a panic.
A good ambush turned into an encounter.
Although the battlefield is changing rapidly, Xue Li understands in his heart that if Li Mu really has an accident, then I am afraid that Datang will have no place for him Xue Li.
The imperial court will not spare him, and everyone in Hangzhou Mansion will skin him alive.
But Xue Li didn't have time to think about these things at this time.
He's already starting to rummage through the piles of corpses.
Fortunately, there was finally a cheer from the looking soldiers.
Xue Li breathed a sigh of relief.
Just stay alive.
Li Mu stood firmly, but was surrounded by more than a dozen guards.
The bloodstained Divine Guards are almost all the same in the dark.
In this scuffle, Li Mu's personal guards were very conscientious.
They have two layers inside and outside, and they surround Li Mu in the middle in a back-to-back fashion.
All black shadows that approach will be slashed with a knife, whether they are enemies or their own people.
By the time the torch was lit, the inner and outer layers had already been pierced.
The guards in front of Li Mu were already lying in a pool of blood, and the circle around Li Mu had been opened.
The sword in Li Mu's right hand was dripping with blood, and the blade had obviously been rolled.
Li Mu's left hand was also dripping blood, which was obviously his own blood.
Li Mu's face was very pale, and the paleness was terrifying.
He was numb enough to remember how many swords he had swung.
I could only feel the slight heat on my face again and again when I was stained with splashed blood.
This is a nightmare for Li Mu.
A nightmare that cannot predict the future of life and death.
Xue Li rushed forward, took off his armor for Li Mu, and carefully inspected it up and down, inside and out.
Only a long cut on the left arm was found, and there were no other injuries.
Only then did he really put his mind at ease and bandaged Li Mu's wound briefly.
"The last general is late for rescue, please forgive your highness."
Xue Li knelt on the ground with his legs and kowtowed heavily.
Li Mu gradually came back to his senses.
His mind went blank, and all he had was tired from his body.
Li Mu swallowed a mouthful of saliva that didn't exist at all.
Licking his thirsty lips, he asked jerkyly, "Is there any wine?"
Xue Li hissed and shouted, "Get the wine quickly." ” Li Mu poured down several sips of strong wine and coughed dryly.
Xue Li hurriedly got up and smoothed Li Mu's back.
At this time, Liu Renliang came to report.
"Your Highness, the battlefield has been cleared."
Li Mu asked, "How about the casualties?"

Liu Renliang lowered his head and choked up: "Of the four thousand people led by His Highness, there are still more than two thousand and one hundred people left. ” Li Mu's heart trembled, and a touch of sourness appeared in his nose.
After such a while, only half of the 4,000 people he led were left.
Liu Renliang said, "But." ” "But what" Li Mu had a glimmer of hope in his heart, and he was looking forward to saying from Liu Renliang's mouth that there were still many injured people, even seriously injured and disabled.
"Your Highness, please step and inspect it for yourself."
Li Muhu suspiciously held his left arm and followed Liu Renliang.
This is obviously a group of Divine Guard soldiers, many of whom have team leaders and team leaders, and the number of them is about 200 people.
They were surrounded by apprehension, hesitation, regret and horror in their eyes.
Seeing Li Mu coming, they knelt down in front of Li Mu and wept bitterly.
Liu Renliang whispered beside Li Mu: "This is one of the four thousand people led by His Highness, and they found it from the pile of corpses. ” Li Mutou "hummed".
He understood what Liu Renliang meant.
These people are afraid of death and choose to flee.
Xue Li shouted: "According to military law, those who are afraid of battle and avoid war will be killed."
Your Highness, please, give an order. ” How Li Mu wished he hadn't heard and seen this. ordered the killing of these more than 200 Jiangdong children who followed him north from Hangzhou, which made Li Mu unbearable.
He understood that this group of people were new recruits, and some had only been in the army for more than two months.
Li Mu said abruptly: "Give them a way out." ” Liu Renliang loudly stopped: "Military law is ruthless, please think twice." ” Li Mu glanced at the Divine Guards who were gradually surrounding, and their eyes as they looked at the two hundred people showed obvious contempt and even hostility.
Li Mu understood in his heart that the reason why military law was harsh was that meritorious service would be rewarded and punishment should be punished.
Otherwise, how to convince these desperate and bloody soldiers But Li Mu relented after all, after this hellish bloody battle, Li Mu was indeed extremely tired.
"That's it, there are too many soldiers who died today, give them a way to live, and it can be regarded as giving Jiangdong's father a face."
Li Mu sighed and waved his hand softly, "Get rid of the military and send back to your hometown." ” Although the soldiers were not satisfied, Li Mu's orders were still faithfully carried out.
Liu Ren Railyu reported: "In this battle, 8,000 cavalry of Baekje and Wa were completely annihilated, more than 20,000 infantry of the two countries were defeated, and countless equipment and supplies were captured.
Although the specific numbers have not yet been counted, there is no doubt about the victory, Your Highness. ” "Let the chief of the army record the merits of the soldiers, and reward them for their deeds in the future."
Li Mu really couldn't hold it anymore, he reluctantly nodded and said, "The soldiers are tired, camp on the spot, and arrange a guard." ” After saying that, he fainted.
It wasn't until noon the next day that Li Mu was woken up by Xue Li and Liu Renliang.
If it weren't for such great good news, Xue Li and Liu Renliang would not dare or want to wake up Li Mu.
When Xue Li excitedly reported that Xiong Jin was conquered by Su Dingfang's troops.
Li Muyusong's sleepy eyes quickly recovered his spirits. snatched the battle report in Xue Li's hand, and Li Mu quickly flipped through it.
Su Dingfang concentrated the whole army, blew up the west gate of Xiongjin City with a gunpowder bag, and succeeded in the attack. 20,000 Baekje troops surrendered.
Our army suffered more than 1,500 casualties.
This result is not insignificant, and after last night's bloody battle, Li Mu is obviously numb to the casualty figures.
Xiongjin was conquered, which meant that there was no more formed Baekje army west of the Baekje Nakdong River.
The Japanese army in the west was also defeated by themselves yesterday.
Then, the purpose of the imperial court's order to defend the Northern Expedition has been achieved.
Next, it's time to plan for your goals.
Liu Ren reported: "In last night's battle, our army completely annihilated the enemy's 8,000 cavalry.
More than 5,000 enemies were killed, more than 12,000 were captured, and the rest were scattered.
More than 3,000 war horses were collected, and more than 800 war horses were slightly injured.
There are countless ordnance. ” Xue Li said: "Your Highness should report the victory to the imperial court, and then wave your army south to capture the capital of Baekje.
In this way, the merit of destroying the country will not be able to escape from the palm of His Highness. ”:
