While in the military camp of Beidi County, Gan Chong heard the story of a man who wanted to go to the state of Chu, but drove north on the road, getting farther and farther away from his destination.

He now feels like a man of the opposite direction!

Six days ago, Gan Chong and his more than 100 knights found that the Huns had besieged Feng Zheng's Shangjun soldiers, and in order to let the ten people go back to report to General Wei, the rest of them chose to ride in other directions to attract the attention of the Huns.

He didn't know if the ten waiting horses had returned, but the lure of the knights of the good family really caused him a lot of trouble. Hundreds of Hun horsemen pursued them, and after several battles, their companions were either shot or captured, only to rush into the woodland in one breath to escape.

But his safety was temporary, and after fleeing, Gan Chong found himself traveling a lot of miles north, getting farther and farther away from the main force of the Qin army. Gan Chong tried to lurk for a while and then quietly traveled south, but each time he couldn't go far, he was discovered by wandering Hun scouts, and then chased and fled......

The Huns have found that there is a Qin people who have slipped through the net in this area, and launched more than 100 horsemen to search, Gan Chong can only hide and hide, and run to the reeds by the river, and the group of Hun scouts who are in pursuit of them are also pursued here, they leave their horses outside, and enter the reeds with bows and arrows to search.

Gan Chong's beloved horse was hit by an arrow, so he could only grit his teeth and give up, and the bow and arrow were also shot, but fortunately, Gan Chong was good at throwing stones with a belt, plus a short sword at his waist, this was all his weapons.

Now, prostrate in the mud of the reeds, Gan Chong could hear the chatter of the Huns, at least dozens of them, and surrounded him from all sides, blocking all his routes out. Gan Chong had no chance of winning at all, and with just a few stones in his hand, he could break several people's heads at most......

Just when he decided to hide when a Hun approached and smashed his head, on the other side, a Hun shouted. It turned out that these experienced hunters had finally found Gan Chong's footprints, and then followed them and discovered where he was hiding!

"What a bad luck!"

Gan Chong had no choice but to quickly get up and flee, he pushed aside the reeds and desperately walked towards the direction of the water, the river, that was his only chance to survive!

The silt by the river was hoarded, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and it was difficult to walk, and the Huns behind him were scolding, probably making Gan Chong surrender. Every few steps, they stopped and fired their bows at Gan Chong, and the arrows passed by his ears and in his bun, piercing into the reeds on the left and right, frightening a flock of gulls and herons, and also startling Gan Chong in a cold sweat, he was hungry and tired, and his steps became more and more staggering.

Before being caught by the Lasso of the Huns, Gan Chong came to the river, and he jumped into the water without hesitation!

At this time, Gan Chong had to thank the Captain of Beidi, he was not a good swimmer, but in the past six months, in addition to practicing riding battles, the Liangjia Soldiers were asked by the county lieutenant to master a new skill: swimming.

So after the training of the good families, they played and competed naked in the mud river, which became a beautiful scenery in Beidi County, and the shepherd women often came to watch. Although many people laugh at themselves and say that there are no big rivers in the north, let alone a water division, what is the use of letting the soldiers get familiar with the water? But only now, Gan Chong realized that the county lieutenant was not untargeted, and at the same time he was glad that he had practiced well in water.

The river was not turbulent, but it was also deep, which was exactly what Gan Chong needed, and he took a deep breath, dived underwater, and slammed into the bottom of the river. Just moments after his figure disappeared from the river, more than a dozen bows and arrows fell in unison, the arrows pierced through the water net, bubbling past Gan Chong, and even one of them cut through his armor, and a thin blood mist spread in the river.

The only hope was to dodge the arrows fired by the Huns, and when they thought they were dead, they resurfaced and swam as hard as they could until they reached the other side.

But he didn't hold back for too long, Gan Chong gradually found it difficult to hold his breath, and the bubbles from his mouth kept rising up, and he needed air.

When Gan Chong showed his head again, he found that he had already swam for a long distance, but the Huns on the shore were still waiting for his corpse to float up before leaving.

Gan Chong could only swim towards the middle of the river, but when he resurfaced, he was desperate to find that a group of Hun knights had also arrived on the other side of the river, waiting for him, a live target, to go over and be arrowed!

At this time, he could only drift downstream with the current, and the Huns rode persistently to follow, trying to shoot arrows and shouting mockery as they chased back, as if Gan Chong was a toy.

Gan Chong's food in the past few days is very poor, the birds knocked down with stones, some suspicious bushes and berries, anyway, are all raw food, these days he has been in severe pain in the abdomen, often weak, in the water with difficulty to flutter, if this continues, even if he is not killed by the arrows of the Huns, he will drown because of weakness......

"If I die in this river, I'm afraid there will be no one to collect my body, and there will only be an empty tomb in the Loyal Soldier Cemetery in Beidi County!"

In desperation, the arrows fired from both sides stopped, and the Huns stopped shouting, and Gan Chong looked through the water with difficulty, and found that they had reined in their horses, and looked at the upper reaches of the river in amazement.

Several wooden boats with sails are breaking the waves! Several Qin pawns in armor stood on the bow of the ship with their arms and crossbows!

……

Gan Chong was dragged onto the boat by Qin Pawn, and he lay on Xiao Wing's boat gang and spit out a stomach full of cold water. Qin soldiers with Longxi accents came over one after another to help him bandage the wounds on his arms, and the five hundred lords led by him also took off their dry clothes and changed them for Gan Chong.

"How can you say that you have no clothes?" The five hundred lords smiled, they were in the camp, and they had heard that these good family soldiers were luring the enemy with their lives, just to let the messenger send back the military information, and they admired Gan Chong very much.

"Fellow with the Son." Gan Chong was moved and took it.

There were also people who handed over food, but what Gan Chong was thinking about the most was the ten messengers, did they send the news back?

It was obvious that the group of Huns who were chasing and shooting him had been dispersed by the crossbows fired by the fleet, and they sat on the boat and looked upstream, but saw that on the long river, wooden boats came one after another, loaded with heavily armed Qin soldiers, and they were moving forward against the wind and waves.

The 500 lords on the ship told Gan Chong that they were only the forward sentinels, and there were 200 ships behind them, which were originally carrying grain from Longxi County to Helan, but now they were ordered by the two generals, Li and Wei, to carry soldiers and soldiers and march at the same time as the chariots and horses.

On the west bank of the river, some marching Qin cavalry can already be seen, and the main force of the Xiongnu is dozens of miles away from the east of the river, and the Xiongnu have waiting horses in the east, west, north and south for hundreds of miles......

Gan Chong sneezed heavily: "Where is General Wei?" ”

Five hundred lords said: "The lieutenant of the northern land is a hundred miles away in the rear, commanding 20,000 foot soldiers, and he is already halfway there!" ”

"Besides me, is there a waiting rider to be rescued?"

Gan Chong hoped for a miracle, but the five hundred lords bowed their heads: "Only three messengers returned, and the rest ......"

"I will kill a hundred Hulu and avenge the robes!"

His subordinates are all dead, not knowing life and death, Gan Chong gritted his teeth and slammed the ship's board, what he hopes most now is to quickly return to the army, and in the next big war, kill Hu to vent his revenge!

As he spoke, the boat had sailed past the confluence of the big river and the Dusitu River, and the cavalry on the shore did the same, but they didn't mean to stop, Gan Chong couldn't help but be surprised: "The Xiongnu army surrounded the Shangjun soldiers on Baiyang Mountain, thirty miles upstream of the Dusitu River, why didn't they anchor here?" ”

The five hundred lords said: "General Li said, we are riding 10,000 people, if we go directly to relieve the siege, I am afraid it will be useless, it is better to ......"

He grinned and said, "Wai Wei save Zhao!" ”

……

On the banks of the great river, north of the Dusitu River, Li Xin's banner has arrived, and his forward Qiang Huang has brought back two things......

It is the fresh manure of cattle and sheep.

Li Xin said to the lieutenants and commanders around him: "The Huns have tens of thousands of horses, and horses can eat pasture, but it is impossible for people to only eat and carry a small amount of meat and cheese, nor can they only rely on hunting. ”

"Therefore, when the Huns send troops, they are always followed by herds."

These herds are equivalent to the baggage of the Huns, or drink their **, or slaughter and eat meat, and when they find the herd, they catch their rear team.

Qiang Huang reported that more than ten miles to the north, a large number of fresh manure of cattle and sheep was found, and the number of them was calculated as many as more than 10,000 heads!

Li Xin immediately formulated a battle plan: "The Huns like to rob our army's grain road, Kou is feasible, and I can do it!" Quickly attack its herd, and then cross to the west of the river, relying on the hills and rivers to set up a hard village, leading the Huns to be alarmed, can not concentrate on surrounding the county soldiers, even if they rush to help, can not break into our army village. If the army loses its baggage, it is lacking, the Central Plains is like this, and the Huns are also like this! ”
