yanmenguan
Since the second time the Xiongnu had charged up the city wall, they had been broken through three more times in the next six hours. However, they had been forced back one by one!
Similarly, the Xiongnu army had suffered heavy losses in the past 10 hours!
They had lost at least 20,000 soldiers!
Zhao Ming's troops had also lost more than four thousand men!
Especially when the battle was at its climax, the entire city wall of Yanmen Pass was like a giant meat grinder. No matter how many people came, they all died!
……
In front of the Xiongnu camp
"Wangye, it's already late, it's time to withdraw the troops!”
"Moreover, the soldiers can't take it anymore!”
A Xiongnu general reported to Yu Fuluo!
At this moment, Yuflor and the four other tribes had sent out an army of 10,000 men to attack the city!
The sky had unknowingly fallen into dusk!
"Sound the bell and withdraw!"
Yuflo frowned slightly when he heard this. However, when he looked at the sky, he could only frown and say!
"Your Highness is wise!"
"Sound the bell and withdraw!"
The sounds of drums and gongs rang out, and the Xiongnu soldiers who were attacking retreated like a tide!
The Xiongnu soldiers who were still fighting with the Scarlet Guard at Yanmen Pass were killed one by one because they had lost their source of support!
A moment later, there were no more Xiongnu soldiers at Yanmen Pass!
"I can finally rest!"
"We won!"
The soldiers who had been fighting for an entire day laid on the edge of the city wall after killing the last wave of the Xiongnu army. They were exhausted!
Chen Qingzhi, who was dressed in a plain white Confucian general robe. His body was also stained with a trace of blood!
In the previous battle, more than three first-rate generals had taken the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. Two of them had barely managed to hold Xue Rengui back, while the other had gone to assassinate Chen Qingzhi!
If not for Lu Bu's quick reflexes and quick reflexes, he might have already died in the hands of the Xiongnu general!
It had to be said that although Chen Qingzhi was extremely intelligent and his commander was peerless!
However, his physique was naturally weaker than ordinary people. He could be said to be a weak scholar who did not have the strength to even tie a chicken!
In history, in the final battle, he died of a cold due to his weak constitution in the mountain torrent!
After that battle, Zhao Ming simply borrowed the 18 riders of Yan Yun from Luo Cheng to temporarily serve as Chen Qingzhi's guards!
With Chen Qingzhi's peerless commander. If he was killed because of a moment of carelessness, Zhao Ming would definitely be heartbroken!
……
"Ziyun, you've worked hard."
After the battle ended, Zhao Ming brought Liu Bowen and the others to Chen Qingzhi, who had been commanding the soldiers, and looked at his tired expression.
"It is my honor to be able to serve my lord!”
Chen Qingzhi, who was covered in the blood of the Scarlet Guard, turned to Zhao Ming and replied in a tired voice.
"Ziyun, you should go and rest first.”
"Military Advisor and I are here. Don't worry!”
Zhao Ming listened to Chen Qingzhi's tired voice and could not help but persuade him!
"Then, I will take my leave first!"
Chen Qingzhi frowned slightly when he heard this, but he quickly put it down. He cupped his fists at Zhao Ming and then cupped his fists at Lu Bu, who seemed to be acting as if nothing had happened." Chen Qingzhi, thank you for saving my life!"”
"You're welcome. Even without me, with so many Scarlet Guards stalling for time, General Chen will be fine by the time General Xue is free!”
Lu Bu said heroically!
The arrogance in his tone was long gone!
Today, Lu Bu had seen the entire process of Chen Qingzhi commanding the soldiers to defend. He also had a hint of admiration for Chen Qingzhi!
Although his martial strength was not even comparable to a small soldier, his ability to lead troops was rare in the world!
With Lu Bu's many years of experience, he could naturally see Chen Qingzhi's talent in commanding the army to defend!
Chen Qingzhi nodded slightly and then went down the city gate tower under the protection of the 18 riders of Yanyun!
After Chen Qingzhi left, Zhao Ming looked at the gate of Yanmen Pass!
At this moment, it was already evening. At the entrance of Yanmen Pass, the Xiongnu soldiers wearing white clothes who came to collect the corpses frowned slightly!
In ancient times, the most feared thing was the plague caused by improper handling of corpses!
Therefore, after the end of the war, there would be an unspoken rule that one could not attack the soldiers who dealt with the corpses!
"Don't let a plague happen. Otherwise, it'll be troublesome!”
Zhao Ming looked at the mountain of corpses below the city and revealed a delayed expression!
Once the plague broke out, no one could stay in Yanmen Pass for a short period of time!
This era was not like the modern era, where there were all kinds of inoculations that could cure the plague!
