    "Master Chief, it's not good, Far Easterners, there are so many Far Easterners!"

    Some barbarian warriors who were in charge of guarding the perimeter came rushing from a distance, and shouted at the top of their voices from a long distance away.

    The chiefs of the barbarian tribes who were on the battlefield also looked at each other with shock on their faces.

    You must know that this place is still some distance away from the border of the Far Eastern Empire. How could there be a large-scale Far Eastern army here.

    But now it is no longer possible for them to think about why the Far Eastern army suddenly appeared along the way.

    "Retreat!"

    They don't know how many troops from the Far East have come now, but they know that there are a lot of troops when they see the torches all over the mountains and plains.

    The chiefs of the barbarians were not all fools. When they saw that the situation was not right, they immediately ran away with oil on their feet.

    As a barbarian tribal chief ran away with his own people, the rest of the tribal chiefs were naturally unwilling to stay and fight the Far East army.

    Before the troops of the Eighth Banner Regiment of Public Security of the Qinghe Army rushed forward, the loud shouts of killing frightened the barbarians to flee one after another.

    "Our support team is here, we, we don't have to die!"

    Seeing the barbarians besieging them break away from contact and retreat towards the dark distance, the blood-stained banner leader Gu Xingteng couldn't help shouting happily.

    The brothers of the Seventh Banner Regiment of Public Security, who had survived many battles, panted heavily one by one, and some brothers who relied on perseverance sat down on the pile of corpses, not wanting to move.

    Deputy Army Commander Guo Wei also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the army rushing towards them holding torches.

    If the reinforcements hadn't arrived here in time, it is estimated that they would all be buried here.

    A large number of heavily armed Qinghe Army soldiers crossed the battlefield strewn with corpses, and pursued the fleeing barbarians in the distance.

    "The humble post has seen the deputy head of the army!"

    Gao Wenxuan, head of the Eighth Banner of Public Security, surrounded by a group of officers, came to Guo Wei and the others. Seeing their appearance, he almost couldn't recognize them.

    Because Guo Wei and the others went deep into the barbarian area for several months, constantly marching and fighting, the whole person was disheveled, and the image of the barbarian was almost the same.

    "The barbarians have a large number of troops, so don't pursue them, lest you fall into an ambush."

    Guo Wei saw an army chasing after the barbarians in the direction of retreat, and told Gao Wenxuan, the head of the Eighth Banner.

    After all, they were not very familiar with the surrounding terrain, and it was a dark night, especially now that there were a large number of barbarian warriors gathered around, they had to be careful.

    "No!"

    After hearing the order, Gao Wenxuan, head of the Public Security Eighth Banner, also quickly issued an order to stop the pursuit.

    "Master Deputy Army Chief, where are the rest of the brothers?"

    Seeing that they only saved hundreds of people, Gao Wenxuan was also full of doubts.

    "There are only so few people left in the Seventh Banner Regiment." Gu Xingteng, head of the Seventh Banner Regiment, said in a low voice.

    ? One of their flag regiments consisted of four banner battalions with 20,000 brothers, and more than half of them were lost in the first battle with the barbarians.

    Later, they chased all the way into the hinterland of the barbarian area and fought with the barbarian tribe many times. Although they won the victory, the cold, hunger and battle damage caused them to reduce their numbers seriously.

    Seeing that a flag regiment had been beaten down to hundreds of people, Gao Wenxuan, the head of the Eighth Banner, also took a deep breath.

    "Thank you, Brother Gao. If you hadn't arrived in time, our Seventh Banner Regiment would have been wiped out." Gu Xingteng also thanked Gao Wenxuan.

    "If a family doesn't talk about two different languages, they will be separated if they say thank you."

    "You have worked hard fighting and fighting all the way, now leave everything to our Eighth Banner Regiment, you have a good rest."

    Gao Wenxuan of the Eighth Banner Regiment ordered the camp to be set up on the spot, and Guo Wei and others finally had a hot meal, and the injured soldiers were also treated by military doctors in time.

    Although the tribes of the barbarians did not fight against the Eighth Banner Regiment of Public Security, they did not stay away. Instead, they lingered nearby to observe the situation. After all, their chief, high priest and others were still in the hands of the Qinghe Army.

    Gao Wenxuan, head of the Eighth Banner of Public Security, did not rush into battle. Instead, he dispatched scouts to investigate the surrounding situation, seized favorable terrain, and built some fortifications such as beacon towers.

    For Gao Wenxuan, the head of the Eighth Banner, he received an order to meet Guo Wei and others. Now that the task has been completed, he also?It is necessary to continue to go deep into the hinterland of the barbarians.

    However, he did not intend to retreat voluntarily, but confronted the barbarians on the line of the Cam River that the barbarian guide said.

    According to the thinking of Guo Wei, the deputy head of the army, since the army of the Far East Empire has come here, there is no reason to retreat.

    In the future, even if the court has no intention of conquering the barbarian areas, they will firmly control the area east of the Cam River.

    Then the range from the east of the Cam River to the western provinces will become a buffer zone between them and the barbarians, preventing the barbarians from directly invading their western provinces.

    Therefore, according to the order of Guo Wei, the deputy head of the army, the Eighth Banner Regiment of Public Security began to build fortresses and beacon towers on the east bank of the Kamu River to deploy the line of defense.

    At the same time, he also sent troops from two banner battalions to build the road leading to the western province behind them.

    Because almost all their supplies and food are transported by pack horses now, if they set up a front-line fortress here for a long time, they must build a road that horse-drawn carriages can pass.

    Seeing that the army of the Far East Empire neither advanced nor retreated, and the barbarians couldn't figure out their intentions, they launched several attacks against them.

    However, the Eighth Banner Regiment of Public Security of the Qinghe Army is well-equipped, not comparable to the Seventh Banner Regiment of Public Security, which is out of ammunition and food.

    Several attacks by the barbarians ended in failure, especially in the first wave of attacks, more than 2,000 heads were harvested by the Qinghe Army's powerful bows and crossbows.

    Later, the Eighth Banner Regiment of Public Security attacked at night and took the initiative, smashing the outpost camp of the barbarians, capturing more than a thousand people and hundreds of cattle and sheep.

    The two sides launched a confrontation and a small-scale battle on the front line of the Kamu River. Gu Xingteng, the head of the Seventh Banner of Public Security, and the wounded, sick, and prisoners returned to the western provinces under the escort of three thousand-man teams.  It is to stay on the front line to command the battle.

    With the supply of military depots along the way, Gu Xingteng and his group returned to the western provinces on a very smooth road, and they hardly encountered any barbarians.

    When they returned to the western provinces, they were also grandly received by the head of the security army, the chief executive of the western provinces and others.

    Seeing the barbarian chieftain, high priest and others captured by them, Li Changqing, the head of the security army, also laughed from ear to ear. This is a precedent that has never been seen in hundreds of years.

    On the one hand, they sent people to escort the important figures of the barbarians to the imperial capital to offer prisoners, and on the other hand, they sent letters by flying pigeons to report the news to the imperial capital first.

    In fact, God has been paying attention to the war in the west, especially after learning that the Seventh Banner Regiment of Public Security lost contact in the barbarian area, he also repeatedly urged Li Changqing to send people to look for it.

    After learning that Guo Wei, Gu Xingteng and others led their troops back and captured the barbarian chief and others, Li Qiye, the chief of the military department of the imperial capital, reported to Chen Ziang immediately.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
