In the battle of Kuta Mountains, the Daliang Jing army gained a lot.

According to the rough statistics of the military law team, nearly 6,000 people died in the barbarian army, more than 1,500 people were injured and surrendered, and more than 1,000 people escaped in the melee. Just as Pei Yue said to Liejiaomi, this battle will be

The capital accumulated by the barbarians for decades has been squandered, and they may never be able to recover.

Through the cross-identification of the barbarian soldiers, it was determined that the leader of the thieves Xun Jiaomi, the army Xumi and the leaders of several larger tribes had all been executed.

Pei Yue asked Chen Xianda to lead his men to cut off the heads of all the dead barbarians and collect them. This was not to vent his anger, but was a method of reporting military merit stipulated by the court. On the other hand, it was also to frighten the living barbarians. Although it was cold in the wilderness,

Because the weather would not cause a plague, Pei Yue still asked the soldiers to dig several large pits and bury all the enemy's corpses.

The ambush was almost completely destroyed. The total number of cavalry and infantry who escaped was less than a thousand, and more than a thousand fine horses captured were collected by the Tibetan front guards.

The biggest harvest is actually in the mountains. Liejiaomi has stored a large amount of supplies and food in more than ten caves. Not only did they plunder the things they had plundered at the border of Daliang before, but they also had the reserves of the major barbarian tribes themselves. Now

Naturally, it belongs to the North Camp of the Beijing Army.

The powerful enemy had been destroyed, and there were only a few defeated soldiers left in the wilderness. Pei Yue made an exception and allowed the soldiers outside the guard post to have a drink. This was also to commemorate the comrades who died in this battle.

In the afternoon of the next day, the soldiers in the Beijing camp who were resting after the war suddenly heard the sound of a rapid drum. Everyone immediately put down what they were doing and lined up according to their respective subordinate orders.

Pei Yue appeared in everyone's sight riding a tall horse, followed by several generals.

He looked around and looked at the soldiers who were tired but still looked determined. He nodded slightly and said, "I just received the news that Wei Rui's troops have rescued the people of Daliang who were plundered by the barbarians. They are now not far to the north."

At this point, only about 1,500 people were able to come back alive.

Even if some of the people had never heard of Pei Yue's name, they knew that he must be a great figure in Kyoto. Seeing how sincere and humble he was, they couldn't help wiping their tears quickly, but they were at a loss as to how to respond.

Perhaps it was because when they were rescued by Wei Ruibu before, they had already exhausted all their strength.

Even Wei Rui, who has experienced hundreds of battles, couldn't help but tremble when he saw the scene at that time. It is no exaggeration to describe it as hell on earth.

In mid-to-early March, the barbarians took a total of more than 3,400 civilians and border soldiers into the wilderness. By the time they left the Kuta Mountains, the number had dropped sharply to more than 2,600, and nearly 800 people died in the barbarians' attacks.

sadistic hand

Duan Xia. When he was about to enter the territory of Jiankun tribe on the bank of Xiata Mountain a few days ago, Yang Ding, a soldier of the border army, used his flesh and blood to awaken the bloody nature of most people, and started an extremely brutal fight with the barbarians responsible for guarding them.

.

The raids of Wei Rui's troops were all carried out by one person and two horses. The cavalry led the horses on foot, while the other group sat on horses. Seeing the Daliang Jingjun appearing in their sights, those people quickly got off their horses and walked southward slowly and hesitantly.

.

After wind and snow over thousands of mountains, we finally meet.

Perhaps because of the dark life they had lived in for more than two months, they had already broken their throats from crying.

Excited smiles appeared on the young faces, and excited cheers went up to the sky.

The guards of the Beiying camp have been practicing strictly in accordance with the seven strategies of the drill drawn up by Pei Yue, and they have never forgotten to show their great righteousness to the soldiers. The focus is on the discussion of the two questions of "why to fight" and "for whom to fight". Therefore, they

In addition to their achievements, they also have more sincere beliefs than other military units.

After the three thousand cavalry arrived, they killed all the barbarians like a whirlwind, but the people of Daliang had already paid the price of 932 lives.

The weather in the wilderness is constantly changing. The sunshine was slightly warm a few days ago, but today it has become extremely gloomy. The dark clouds in the sky are like a thick layer of felt. Around the Kuta Mountains, there is an endless wilderness to the north. In such a sky, it looks...

Especially desolate and desolate.

Especially the hundreds of women in the team who had endured the humiliation and managed to survive, all stretched out their hands to cover their mouths, not knowing whether they dared to cry or did not want to cry, and let the tears fall down their cheeks.

The soldiers of the Beijing army stopped and lined up, looking at the compatriots and comrades walking across from them. A solemn mood filled the world.

The Tai'an Guards are in the middle, and the Zangfeng Guards are arranged on the two wings. Even if there are almost no enemies at this moment, they can still maintain a strict formation. It can be seen that the two years of training of Pei Yue's generals have achieved remarkable results.

Pei Yue straightened up and said seriously: "I promise you, the court will definitely give you a proper resettlement. The court will help you rebuild your home that was burned by the barbarians. The court will compensate you for the losses suffered at home according to the highest standards. Those who unfortunately died will

Dear relatives, the imperial court will pay out the pension money in full. Please remember, my name is Pei Yue, and I am currently the commander-in-chief of the Beijing Army's North Camp. If the imperial court cannot do this, you can come to me at any time."

The soldiers responded in unison: "Obey the order!"

When they got closer, the originally extremely eager soldiers in the Beijing camp suddenly became silent.

Pei Yue got off his horse and walked straight to the people. He quietly looked at these ordinary people who had escaped from death. After a long time, he took a deep breath and said: "My name is Pei Yue. Maybe you haven't heard of my name, but actually I am

It doesn’t matter who you are. What I heard yesterday and met today makes me realize how difficult it is for you to come back alive. No matter how many words you say, I can’t hide it. On behalf of His Majesty, the court, and myself, I would like to say sorry to everyone.

.”

About a quarter of an hour later, a mixed team of soldiers and civilians appeared on the northern plain.

Defeating the barbarian army, rescuing the trapped people, and returning a peaceful world to northern Xinjiang, this is the meaning of their blood and sacrifice, and it does not conflict with the fame, fortune, and wealth they deserve.

In fact, this is what Pei Yue wants to teach them. Everyone has selfish motives and will stand up for justice. They need to make a choice when necessary, but most of the time there is no contradiction between the two.

"Okay! Great!"

Pei Yue looked at them with gentle eyes. Until the noise gradually subsided, he said loudly: "Let's go and pick them up."

Then he bowed.

They knew that they were still in the wilderness at this moment, still hundreds of miles away from their real hometown. However, looking at the soldiers of the Beijing army who were in good military appearance and as tough as mountains, the faces of these ordinary Li people first showed expressions of disbelief.

Immediately afterwards there was a silent outpouring of tears. More than a thousand people wept silently, but no one cried loudly.

"Mr. Pei, I believe you." A knowledgeable young man in the crowd summoned up the courage to say.

Pei Yue nodded, pointed to the more than ten thousand soldiers behind him and said: "These are my soldiers. Not only are they the witnesses, but also the heaven and the earth are the witnesses. What Pei Yue said today is absolutely not false. Not only that, I also

I promise you that similar things will not happen in northern Xinjiang in the future, and your life will get better and better."

He glanced at the grain carts in the distance that were pulling the bodies of the people, sighed in his heart, and then said: "Whether you are dead or alive, follow them, let's go home together."

Crying finally appeared in the crowd. At first, it was just a few people, but then it spread, gradually becoming overwhelming and shaking people's hearts.
