The sky was getting brighter and the troops fighting in Panlong Pass came back one after another. Some of the three hundred spearmen led by Qian Xiaoxing also ran back, including the small one Morey. Morey hurriedly found Lu Shengzhong and said, "Captain of Regiment, Chief of Staff may be in danger..."

"What!" Lu Shengzhong grabbed Morey and said in surprise: "What's going on?"

Morey cried, "In our direction, there are too many enemies, and before the fire can be ignited, we rushed over. We have no weapons in our hands, so we can only retreat while the black is scattered. The soldiers from other directions have basically returned, but the Chief of Staff has not come back yet."

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Lu Shengzhong was so angry that he almost beat someone, and immediately shouted: "Hunting Owl Camp, the Tiger Camp immediately set up a team, and follow me to find the Chief of Staff! I want to see people when I die, and I want to see the corpse when I die!"

After a while, Panlong Pass closed the door slowly opened. Although thousands of soldiers were very tired after not sleeping all night, they all knew that Qian Xiaoxing had not come back, so they cheered up and came to the Black Dragon Road, scattered around and started looking for Qian Xiaoxing.

Qian Xiaoxing and his party were coming from the Black Dragon Cave. When they saw the independent soldiers in front of him, they hurriedly met. Qian Xiaoxing learned that the soldiers came out to find him, and was very grateful. He immediately arranged for these people to report the news and asked everyone to come back.

Qian Xiaoxing returned to Panlong Pass, and Lu Shengzhong also rushed back after receiving the news. Seeing that Qian Xiaoxing was safe and sound, he patted Qian Xiaoxing on the shoulder and said happily: "Seventh brother, you are scared to death. If something happens to you, how can I explain to Si Guo? You are not allowed to participate in any dangerous actions in the future."

Qian Xiaoxing remembered the soldiers who saved him when he broke through, and said with a sad face: "This time, because of my mistake, more than ten brothers died for me. Next time I will never allow myself to make such a mistake. Brother Zhong, go and count the troops and see how many soldiers have been sacrificed."

"Yeah, count it now." Lu Shengzhong passed the military order, and the result came out soon.

Lu Shengzhong said happily. "Seventh brother, we dispatched 4,100 troops this time. Currently, 4,037 people have been returned, and 215 people have been injured. All of them have been treated with Yunbai Medicine without any danger of life. Others who have not returned may have sacrificed their lives."

"Sixty-three!" Qian Xiaoxing felt heavy after hearing this and said, "Maybe the three hundred people here have the biggest casualties. It's really my fault. I'm sorry for them."

When Lu Shengzhong heard this, he hurriedly explained: "The information on the battlefield changes so it is impossible that everything will be foolproof. Just after receiving information from Longzhan City, Hu Jun was ambushed by our army this time, the rest of the people had retreated to Longzhan City to guard, and about 15,000 were left."

"So much left?" Qian Xiaoxing was still not satisfied with the result when he heard it. In fact, if Chen Xuan had not been steady and had cut down trees and had a piece of open land in the forest center, the number of casualties would not have been this.

Lu Shengzhong disagreed with Qian Xiaoxing's words and said, "Seventh brother, our side has lost less than a hundred people, and the other side has lost nearly 25,000 people. This record is already very brilliant. By the way, we have captured more than 500 Hu soldiers."

"Fortunately, it's five hundred. If there are five thousand prisoners, I can't afford it." Qian Xiaoxing continued: "Brother Zhong, the bodies of the injured and injured soldiers will be retrieved and buried well. Build a martyr's cemetery for them so that they can rest well. The family members will also pay pensions."

"I thought of this too, I'll do it now." After Lu Shengzhong said that, he came to the high place of the city wall and said to the troops gathered below, "Soldiers, the ambush plan set up by the Chief of Staff of our Independent Regiment effectively attacked the Hu army. Our army lost only 63 people and wiped out about 25,000 Hu army. We firmly believe that with the Chief of Staff, we will definitely be blocked by us in front of the pass!"

When the soldiers below heard this brilliant battle, they shouted: "The flesh and blood city wall will never fall! The flesh and blood city wall will never fall!"

When Lu Shengzhong saw Qian Xiaoxing's heavy mood, he probably was sad for the sixty-three soldiers he lost, so he said: "The 63 martyrs who died in battle sacrificed their lives to defend the country. That is the supreme honor. Let's pay tribute to them together!"

The soldiers under the stage raised their hands, raised their right hand to their chests, and gave a military salute in a neat manner. After Lu Shengzhong raised his eyes and glanced at them, he said, "After the ceremony, everyone has not slept all night. Thank you for your hard work. Go back to sleep immediately and disband!"

"Wait!" Qian Xiaoxing suddenly shouted, and the soldiers below were all standing there when they heard this. Qian Xiaoxing continued: "This time I led 300 spearmen to ambush because I did not make any preparations and did not find a way out correctly during the evacuation process. This caused the twelve soldiers of my Independent Regiment Tiger Battalion to sacrifice for me, and also caused the evacuation of soldiers in other directions to be killed or injured. It was because I did not do my job well!"

After hearing this, Lu Shengzhong replied, "Seventh brother, you don't blame me for this, don't blame yourself."

Qian Xiaoxing shook his head, his face was sad, and his voice choked, "The twelve soldiers, they were all raised by their parents with great difficulty, and their parents were waiting for them to live in their old age. However, because of my mistake, my young life passed away. I was very sad, so I decided to accept the whip and punish myself so that I would not forget this bloody lesson. One soldier had ten whip, a total of one hundred and twenty whip."

When Lu Shengzhong heard this, he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Seventh brother, no, this is not something you can think about in this battlefield, it is a reasonable range of mistakes."

Qian Xiaoxing shook his head and pointed to Morey, the shortest in the team below, and said, "Morey, you said you are very strong, come up and execute it for me. You can't fight lightly, otherwise I will deal with you by the military law that is not effective."

Morey was stunned. Seeing that the soldiers beside him were looking at him, he was nervous and walked to the front of the stage with a bumpy whip. Qian Xiaoxing handed him a whip and said to everyone with his back: "Start the fight!"

Morey hesitated to hold the whip in his hand, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings. In his eyes, the chief of staff respected and admired him and could not continue to fight. He had to look at Lu Shengzhong with a look of help. Seeing Qian Xiaoxing's resolute expression, Lu Shengzhong seemed to be unable to persuade him. After thinking about it, he said to the soldiers below: "I, as the leader of the Independent Regiment, I have a responsibility to not take good care of the soldiers. I will take half of the 120 whips."

Qian Xiaoxing turned around and replied firmly: "Brother Zhong, this matter has nothing to do with you."

"Why aren't there? Since they are soldiers of the Independent Regiment, they have something to do with me. Don't say much, I will be punished with you." Lu Shengzhong walked forward, stood in a row with Qian Xiaoxing, and turned around.

The soldiers below sighed when they saw this scene. In the past, the lives of soldiers in the commander seemed like grass. It was very uncomfortable to see Qian Xiaoxing and Lu Shengzhong whip themselves in order to sacrifice more than ten soldiers, but it was very uncomfortable to see them accept the whip.

"Fight!" Lu Shengzhong ordered Morey.

Morey raised his whip helplessly and was about to suck it away, but he heard Leos shouting from the audience: "Wait!"

Leos walked up to the stage and said, "I, Leos, are a rough man and can't speak. I only know that the Chief of Staff does this. I am very sad. He killed so many Hu soldiers without seeking credit, but received punishment for the twelve lost brothers. I admire him from the bottom of my heart. I didn't say that I am the battalion commander of the Tiger Battalion. The one who died was a soldier from my Tiger Battalion, and I am also one of them!"

After saying that, Leoz walked over and lined up with Qian Xiaoxing and Lu Shengzhong.

After hearing this, Ni Qiu climbed up to the stage and said, "I am the instructor of the Tiger Camp, and I am also a chief of staff. I, Ni Qiu, were not convinced by you before. From today on, you are the person I admire the most."

"Why are you doing this?" Qian Xiaoxing's eyes were filled with tears. Unexpectedly, his subordinates all reduced their crimes and were immediately moved.

"Fight!" Lu Shengzhong also said with tears in his eyes.

Morey's eyes were filled with tears, and he raised his whip and shook it open, whipping left and right, whipping the four people in rotation. When the soldiers under the stage saw this scene, many of them sighed while wiping their tears and kneeled down, and some shouted: "With a commander like the Chief of Staff, we would rather die for him!"

"Chief of Staff, we are willing to follow you for the rest of your life!"

...

The whip fell on the four people, and soon the clothes were ripped out, and blood was exposed. Qian Xiaoxing gritted his teeth and insisted on the pain on his back, and secretly swore in his heart: he would never let a soldier die innocently again.

Qian Xiaoxing's face was pale in pain, and he squeezed his smile and said to Lu Shengzhong: "Brother Zhong, I have been punished for me with implicated you."

There were also big beads of sweat on Lu Shengzhong's forehead and he smiled and said, "It's okay, Seventh brother, you can consider the soldiers of the Independent Regiment. This time I will also reflect on it."

Morey burst into tears, and whipped the whip with tears. After finishing 120 whips, he dropped the whip and squatted down and hugged his head and started crying. He whimpered, "Why did you choose me to hit me? I really don't want to hit me."

Seeing that the pain had been done, Qian Xiaoxing had already made his body soaked with sweat. He slowly turned around and helped Morey up and said, "Morey, you are fighting very hard, very good. You are a soldier from my independent regiment."

Morey wiped his tears and said, "Chief of Staff, you are so nice to soldiers. I will follow you all my life!"
