Chapter 2139 The battle is over
When Li Shen returned to the camp, Shitou had already led the white dragon horse in front of Li Shen. Li Shen jumped on the horse and gave an order. The team began to speed up.
Although the carriage is comfortable, it takes time.
"Rengui, notify them to speed up the march and try to reach our first target before dusk."
Li Shen conveyed the order to Xue Rengui who was riding a horse beside him.
The team sped up again, but did not rush all the way because they had to fight soon and the horses might get tired if they rushed.
After marching for more than three hours, they finally arrived at the first target location.
On a small hill, Li Shen was looking at a camp in the distance with a telescope.
"From my observation, it seems that there are less than three thousand people." Putting down the telescope, Li Shen turned his head and looked at Xue Rengui.
"Your Highness, maybe they are out. But judging by the tents, there should be at least 3,000 of them."
Xue Rengui explained.
"Well, let's take a break, eat some beef jerky and drink some water, and then we'll raid it when it gets darker.
Have someone take the hot air balloon to a place with the right wind direction, quietly take off after dark, and act according to the plan. "
Li Shen didn't worry about how many people the other side had, as it was not a problem given their strength.
"Yes."
Xue Rengui went down the hill to make arrangements. After Li Shen took a look at the camp in the distance, he returned to the carriage and started drinking water and eating something.
Time passed little by little, and after resting for more than half an hour, the sky gradually darkened.
Li Shen estimated the time. Almost four hours had passed from noon to now, which was around seven or eight o'clock in the evening.
Isn't this day a little too long?
"Your Majesty, everything is ready and we can act at any time."
Xue Rengui came to Li Shen's carriage to report.
“Well, let me tell you, our main mission this time is to rescue the hostages and save the captured tribal people.
By the way, we can wipe out some rebels, and those who surrender can be spared for the time being."
Li Shen nodded.
"Yes, I have already given the orders. Leave half of the rebels behind." Xue Rengui replied.
"That's good, let's get ready." Li Shen got off the carriage and came to the top of the hill. He would definitely not participate in such a dangerous operation.
His personal guards will not participate either, he wants to watch the battle here.
While waiting, Li Shen discovered that a small group of rebels had indeed returned to the camp. They must have gone out to cause trouble.
Smoke slowly began to rise from the rebel camp. Xue Rengui and his guards mounted their horses and prepared to go. The atmosphere was not that tense.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Suddenly, there were continuous explosions in the camp, followed by the noise of people and the neighing of horses.
The rebel camp was instantly thrown into chaos.
"Let's go." Xue Rengui shouted and rushed out first.
The guards behind him followed closely, but they did not shout loudly.
Li Shen held a telescope and in the faint light saw Xue Rengui leading a long black dragon, approaching the camp quickly.
When they were still a hundred feet away, Xue Rengui roared, "Kill!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" the guards immediately shouted together.
The cavalry charged at full speed and plunged into the camp, like a sword piercing the enemy's chest.
The shouts and cries of killing were deafening, and Li Shen, who was far away, felt his blood boiling.
That man didn't have a dream of galloping on the battlefield? Li Shen didn't have one.
He just likes to watch, but if he is really asked to do it, he is afraid of death.
Xue Rengui led his team to fight in a very methodical manner. Before the charge, everyone had prepared their crossbows, and when they got close, they would first fire a volley of thousands of arrows.
Then change weapons and charge directly.
Five hundred heavy cavalrymen led the way in the front, and the rear was responsible for providing backup fire. Under the leadership of Xue Rengui, they charged forward all the way.
The rebels were already in chaos when the first wave of explosions occurred. The huge noise made them at a loss.
Although it did not cause much damage, the deterrent effect was quite large.
After being unexpectedly ambushed by Xue Rengui, the rebels were thrown into chaos.
Some people started to resist with weapons, some were still looking for their weapons, and some chose to flee.
The guard battalion moved back and forth without stopping, and all the rebels who came forward with weapons to stop them were killed.
The battle started quickly and ended quickly. As Xue Rengui captured the leader of the rebels, the rebels began to collapse and fled in all directions.
Seven or eight hundred people on horseback fled in the direction Li Shen had expected.
This was all arranged in advance. Xue Rengui deliberately left a gap, and all other directions were blocked by Xue Rengui.
“Swoosh~~~~Bang!”
After an unknown amount of time, there was a sound of explosion above the camp. Li Shen knew that this was a signal from Xue Rengui.
It means the battle is over and you can go through.
Li Shen immediately ran down the hillside, put on a silver helmet and silver armor, took a 10-foot-long silver spear, and rode away on the pretty boy.
When they arrived at the camp, they saw corpses all over the ground. The guards were holding knives and killing them one by one to relieve their suffering.
"Your Highness, I have fulfilled my mission." Xue Rengui walked over covered in blood.
Li Shen put a handkerchief to his nose because the smell of blood was too strong.
"Zajia... No, I am very satisfied. Rengui did a good job. Arrange people to clean up the mess and build a Jingguan for me."
Li Shen knew that he couldn't stay here for a long time. In order to prevent the tribe from being harassed again, Li Shen had to be tougher on these rebels.
The Jingguan was also built to deter future rebels who might arrive here.
"I obey your command." After receiving the order, Xue Rengui gave a few instructions to his deputy generals.
"Rengui, are there any civilians who were robbed here?"
Li Shen looked at it privately and asked.
"Your Majesty, I was just about to report this matter. There are indeed many women and children here. Your Majesty, please move."
As Xue Rengui spoke, he led Li Shen to a place backed by a mountain, where there was a big pit.
Li Shen looked around and saw hundreds of women and children gathered in the pit. They huddled together in fear and looked up at Li Shen and others above.
The air was filled with a foul stench, and the women were dressed in rags, some were even naked.
Li Shen frowned upon seeing this, and his perception of the rebels grew even more disgusted.
Looking at these frightened women and children, Li Shen gave an order:
"Bring them all up here."
After saying that, Li Shen covered his nose with a handkerchief and turned away.
He checked privately and found that there was still a lot of food, cattle and sheep in the camp, as well as some looted property.
Copper coins, gold, jade, porcelain, silk and so on. It seems that this person has done a lot of bad things.
After a walk, Li Shen left the camp. He didn't like the bloody scene and smell here, so he returned to the carriage and waited.
"Your Majesty, we have captured quite a few prisoners. How should we deal with them?"
At this time Xue Rengui came over with a deputy general.
