The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Jin Sheng glanced at the guard beside him and said, "Wu Pu, immediately count ten thousand troops. I think something is wrong. I have to go personally."
Wu Pu frowned.
The news of the Turks' withdrawal was checked by his men.
He did not believe it at first. He ordered people to check it five times before he could confirm it.
After telling the general, the general did not believe it even more.
He had already sent five groups of people to check. Now he wants to check again?
He wanted to refuse, but thinking that the general wanted to go personally, he cupped his hands and said, "Yes, general."
After that, he turned around and began to select the troops.
After a while, the troops were finally counted. Wu Pu cupped his hands and said, "General, the troops have been counted. There are ten thousand people in total. General, please check."
"Okay."
Jin Sheng turned his head and glanced. Seeing that there was no problem, he waved his hand and said, "Everyone, set off. The destination is the Turks' camp."
After that, he mounted his horse and galloped toward the city gate.
Wu Pu saw that the general had set off. He did not hesitate and led his men to catch up with Jin Sheng.
The guard at the gate of Sheng Zhou City was on duty. Seeing a large group of people rushing over, he wanted to scold them. But when he saw that it was the general, he did not dare to be negligent. He quickly ordered the people to lower the drawbridge.
There were no obstacles along the way. Jin Sheng led ten thousand people and smoothly arrived at the Turks' camp.
Before he even got close, a pungent smell wafted over.
Wu Pu covered his nose. His face was a little ugly, "General, what is this smell?"
Jin Sheng frowned and did not answer immediately. Instead, he squatted on the ground and picked up a handful of red-hot soil to smell it. However, he could not tell what it was. He could only say, "I don't know either. However, this should be the smell of the heavenly lightning you mentioned."
After that, he immediately got up and waved his hand, "Everyone, speed up."
He now believed that the thunder was real. Otherwise, how could he explain the soil? The soil under his feet was yellow, but now it was red. Without powerful fire, it was difficult to do.
The group sped up. After a while, a desolate scene appeared in front of everyone.
There were pieces of flesh everywhere. Blood dyed the ground red.
Burnt cloth could be seen everywhere, and there were even large words written on it: Xieli Khan.
The sawdust that had not been completely extinguished glowed in the dark night like fireflies in summer. At this moment, they seemed to be cheering for freedom.
The broken scimitars and spears were stabbed into the ground in disarray. They seemed to have decayed and were covered with a layer of yellow and white matter. It looked incomparably desolate.
Not far away, a few vultures were circling above a few corpses that had not been completely buried. There were many iron scraps on the corpses, but the broken spears were still in the hands of the corpses, as if these spears would take their souls to hell and slaughter them again.
There was also a pack of wild wolves that had come to look for food. They were gnawing on a fragmented corpse, and their cold blooded eyes emitted a dim light. They were like the soul reaper of hell, terrifying and horrifying.
Looking at the crowd that was getting closer and closer, the wild wolf became more alert. It put down the pieces of meat in its mouth and opened its bloody mouth, revealing its fangs.
"Halt."
Jin Sheng waved his right hand and glanced at the wolves and vultures. He said coldly, "Drive the wolves away and form an encirclement. Investigate the situation here."
Although the situation now was roughly clear, it still needed to be investigated to prevent the Turks from plotting. As the general of Sheng Province, everyone's lives were in his hands. He had to be very careful.
"Yes, general."
Wu Pu cupped his hands. He also knew the importance of the situation. He then turned his head and looked at the soldiers, "Everyone, divide into eight groups. Clear the east, west, north, south, southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest respectively. Except for the living, clear everything else out of the encirclement."
Everyone accepted the order and quickly dispersed.
The quality of the soldiers of Sheng Province was very good, or it could be said that Jin Sheng's tie was very good. In a short moment, they cleared the wild wolves, vultures, and other things and formed an encirclement.
In addition, they also gathered all the intact corpses together. They did not dare to deal with them privately, so they could only wait for the general's order.
"General, all the corpses have been sorted out. There are about five thousand people."
Wu Pu cupped his hands and lowered his head. He said hesitantly, "I also found traces of the Turks escaping. Should we chase?"
"En?"
Jin Sheng frowned. His first reaction was to chase and catch all of them in one net. But thinking about it, since the Turks had already escaped, they must have returned to the grassland. He only brought ten thousand people with him. How could he chase? Wouldn't he be courting death if he went up? So he said, "Forget it. Don't chase a cornered enemy. Let's look at the corpses first."
After that, he no longer paid attention to Wu Pu and observed the fragmented corpses alone.
A cold wind blew. The smell of cooked corpses and the stench of corpses drifted with the wind. He actually had a desolate feeling.
