Lotte Creek is lost.

It was impossible for Lotte Creek to block the offensive of the Qin army, and the retreat had already been decided, but now the cavalry of the Qin army made a detour from one flank, wrapped the dumplings of the Taipingxi defenders, and completely finished a left army, but it made Gao Yuan very angry.

"Hulukou should arrange at least one sentry to warn people, why is it useless, let the Qin cavalry come from where?" Gao Yuan slapped the edge of the sand table with a crackling sound, staring at Zhao Xilie fiercely, he felt sorry for these thousands of soldiers, in Taipingxi, this army had already played out its morale and morale, but because of such a mistake, they were all buried.

Zhao Xilie's face was full of shame, when he was arranging the defense of Lotte Creek, Gao Yuan did tell him to pay attention to this place, but he didn't care about it himself, because he was familiar with Lotte Creek, and he also knew Hulukou, where the terrain was steep and narrow, and it was impossible for the cavalry to come over, he did give an early warning, but it was not a sentry, but only ten people, only two horses.

And the Qin army first sent elite scouts, touched the mouth of the gourd, and killed all the ten people and horses, and did not run away, and then the Qin army stubbornly paved a road with wood, branches and grass and leaves, so that the cavalry could touch it from somewhere. The defenders of Lotte Creek, who had not received the early warning, were driven back by the cavalry, and did not wait for the reinforcements from Taiping City to pass, and the defenders who were attacked from the front and back were all gone.

A small inadvertent oversight cost the life of the entire army.

Zhao Xilie fell to his knees with a thud, he had nothing to say, "King, the last general is willing to accept the responsibility." ”

Seeing Zhao Xilie running down, Li Mingjun, Zhao Che and others also knelt down. "The last general and General Zhao shared the blame."

Gao Yuan let out a long sigh, how to punish the enemy? It's enough to hurt morale. Punish these generals again, and the morale will not drop to the freezing point.

"A soldier bears, a nest of bears, this is what we often say, but we ourselves often ignore this, everyone who can be a general, and where can the bear go, it is often these inadvertent little things. A little negligence can determine the outcome of a battle, I hope that this time the lives of thousands of people can make you firmly remember, never make such a low-level mistake in the future, the lives of soldiers are not numbers on the books, they are living people. ”

"The last general has written it down." Zhao Xilie was so ashamed that he couldn't raise his head.

"Get up, you are all sober, our opponent is Qin Jun. Over the years, countless Qin soldiers have destroyed the country, even if they are now down, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse. Anyone who despises them will pay the price, Lotte Creek is gone, the defenders on the periphery have withdrawn, we are waiting for them in Changping! "High and far-reaching.

"Yes!" Zhao Xilie stood up. "My subordinates will arrange it immediately."

Watching the generals leave, He Weiyuan, who was behind Gao Yuan, said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, forget it like this?" ”

He Weiyuan is very clear. If such a thing happened to the blind generals of the Han army, I am afraid that it would be light to lift his official hat.

"What else? Don't forget, it's all Zhao Jun here, don't you see it today, Zhao Xilie knelt down, everyone else knelt down, I'm going to punish them, how can this army be bringed? Gao Yuan shook his head, "Military discipline is dead, but people are alive, and they must be flexible, if they are dead everywhere, this army will not be able to bring, you have been in my army, and you are also a personal guard, naturally you have no experience, you will go home and ask your brother in the future, but where the army can fight, there are some such problems in the team, Yang Dasha's troops are strong in combat, but there is an unwritten rule in his troops, do you know?" ”

He Weiyuan said with a smile: "I know something, I heard Mei Hua and Wu Ya say it." ”

"Pick it up, isn't this a violation of military discipline? But have you heard that Shangguan Hong has troubled him, and there is also the Military Justice Department, and he should also be blind, right? Gao Yuan smiled.

"Yes, I see." He Wei said from afar. ”

"It's a pity that there are a few good seedlings in that army, and in this battle, they are all gone." Somehow, Gao Yuan remembered the door-like crab in the wounded barracks, and the thin but quite strong Jiang Fu.

Jiang Fu was still alive, not only alive, but also unharmed, when the Qin cavalry surged, the crab standing beside him suddenly punched his head, knocking him unconscious, and when he woke up, it was late at night, and he was in a gap between two boulders.

In the crack of the cold stone for a long time and in the middle of the night, Jiang Fu was awakened by the hard freeze, when he woke up, he only felt stiff, the whole person was numb, he barely moved his hands and feet, slowly rubbed his still painful head, and slowly recalled the scene during the day.

At that time, I was almost frightened, the cavalry rushing from the flanks and rear was boundless, the sound of hooves, shouts of killing, deafening, and then, I didn't know anything.

It was the crab that knocked itself unconscious and stuffed it here. Jiang Fu finally came to his senses. But how is he doing now? Jiang Fu wanted to climb out, but found that the gap between the two boulders was full of corpses, he pushed and shoved like crazy, and finally moved a gap that could allow him to get out, and crawled out of it with both hands and feet.

The snow in the distance was white, but the snow in front of it was all black. It was soaked in blood. Jiang Fu, who stood up, could see everything in his sight, all of which were corpses piled up in layers.

It's over, it's all over, thousands of people are dead here, thinking of the Qin cavalry that came like a tide before they fainted, and the Qin infantry who rushed over like ants on the opposite side, Jiang Fu knew that their army was finished.

"Crab, Brother Crab!" He cried out with a hoarse voice echoing in the silent night sky, and now he understood that if it hadn't been for the crab knocking him unconscious and stuffing him into this crevice, he would have been turned into a cold corpse like these comrades all over the ground.

He fell to the ground and rummaged desperately for the corpses on the ground, the crab must be nearby.

"Crab, don't die!" He cried, desperately moving the corpse on the ground, the body of the crab was different from ordinary people, he could only touch it, he would never admit it, what he was most afraid of was that the crab was trampled by those cavalry, so he couldn't find it, in the process of moving, he had seen a lot of such pieces.

"Crab, crab!" He roared desperately, and in the silence of the night, it was very clear.

"Don't yell, I'm here!"

Jiang Fu, who was moving a corpse, stopped suddenly, ordinary people would definitely be frightened enough to hear this kind of sound on such an occasion, but at this time, in Jiang Fu's ears, it was like a heavenly sound.

"Crab!" He was surprised and delighted, and cried out.

"I'm here!" The voice was very weak, but this time, Jiang Fu heard it, and he turned around, and behind him, there was a pile of higher corpses.

He pushed and shoved like crazy, moving the corpses away, and finally, his hand touched something soft, "Brother Crab." His hand trembled, it must have been him, the dead man, who had long been frozen hard.

Reaching out to help the crab, as soon as it moved, the crab was already crying out in pain. "Slow down, slow down, Lao Tzu is hurt this time."

Jiang Fu carefully moved the crab out, only to find that the place where the crab was lying was a pit, and it was precisely because of this that the corpse that was pressed up layer by layer did not crush this extremely injured guy to death.

"Where's the injury?" Leaning the crab against the pile of corpses next to it, Jiang Fu asked.

"There are several broken ribs, Lao Tzu was hit by that war horse, Lao Tzu is dead, the first few gave me the top cylinder, otherwise I would have died on the spot." The crab laughed, "Later, the layers of corpses on top pressed up and drowned me, but fortunately, otherwise I would have frozen to death." ”

"Thank you, Brother Crab, if it weren't for you, I would be like them at this time!" Jiang Fu's voice choked.

"Thank you, at that time, I knew that we were finished, you kid is young, about the same age as my son, you shouldn't die so early, where I drag you to, whether you can live depends on your luck, fortunately, luck is good, the Qin people are in a hurry to go to Changping City, they didn't clean the battlefield, your kid has a big life, but I also have a big life, if I hadn't rescued the kid at that time, I am like this now, and sooner or later it will be the life of a dead ball." The crab actually laughed.

"Brother Crab, what do we do now?" Jiang Fu was a little dazed. "Are you going back to Changping?"

"How do you go back? I'm afraid that now Changping is full of Qin people, there must be Qin troops coming up behind, the Qin people didn't clean up the battlefield, they are waiting for the people behind to do it, we have to leave here quickly, I'm afraid that we won't be able to leave as soon as the morning dawns, and the Qin people will definitely give us a knife. ”

"Where do you go then?" Jiang Fu asked in a panic.

"Go in the direction where the Qin soldiers and cavalry are coming from. Xiaofuzi, do you still want to fight? The crab asked.

This question stopped Jiang Fu, and only after a while did he say, "If I am not a soldier, what can I do?" ”

"How many Qin people have you killed these days?"

"A dozen."

"That's right, I killed almost twenty of them, and my son's revenge is almost avenged, Xiaofuzi, your brother's revenge is also avenged, I don't want to be a soldier anymore, let's go, find a place to hide, and when the battle is over, let's come back."

"Isn't that a deserter?" Jiang Fu shuddered.

"Does anyone still think we're alive?" The crab smiled bitterly. "These days, I've killed enough people, I'm tired of it, many of the Qin people who died under my hands are not much like my son, today I'm lying here, thinking about their appearance in my head, the look of fear when they died, I was thinking, when my son died, was it like this?"

The crab's voice whimpered. "I don't want to fight anymore, I don't want to kill anymore." (To be continued......)
