This sentence alarmed everyone present, Chen Xinglong looked back when he heard the sound, and found that it was Sun Qinghe, the commander of his own military camp, who spoke.

Sun Qinghe is not too old, he is just in his early thirties this year.

But this person actually followed Chen Xinglong very early, he was the son of Chen Xinglong's old man, and he had already followed him when he was still selling illicit salt, and he could be called the real veteran of Xingwang's army.

After Chen Xinglong's incident, Sun Qinghe also followed him all the time.

He is brave and good at fighting, has made many military exploits, and is loyal to Chen Xinglong, standing firmly behind him whenever and wherever he is.

Whenever the situation was critical, he could always stand up and save Chen Xinglong's life more than once.

In the face of the encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers, Chen Xinglong was defeated several times and almost fell into a certain death situation.

If it weren't for Sun Qinghe's repeated desperate protection of him to break out of the encirclement, maybe Chen Xinglong would have died a long time ago, where would there be the later Xingwang and Xingwang Army.

Therefore, Sun Qinghe was very trusted by Chen Xinglong in the Xingwang army. After Chen Xinglong became king and set the capital in Chenzhou, Sun Qinghe was ordered to lead the royal army and has always been by Chen Xinglong's side.

Even His Royal Highness, who has always been arrogant and domineering, often has to be called "big brother" when he sees Sun Qinghe. Because Chen Xinglong personally explained that Sun Qinghe can discipline his heirs instead of himself, it's just that Sun Qinghe never exceeds the rules!

After Liu Qingyuan surrendered to the imperial court, Chen Xinglong broke the leg of His Royal Highness the Prince in a fit of rage.

Previously, when he broke through the siege, His Royal Highness the Prince of Justice, who was unable to move, accidentally fell from his horse, and Sun Qinghe couldn't save him, and now he has died in the chaos.

This made Sun Qinghe ashamed, and he felt that he had not fulfilled the king's entrustment. In order to redeem the merits, and in order to be able to kill a way out for the king, Sun Qinghe sought war.

At this time of crisis, Sun Qinghe was able to take the initiative to ask for help, which deeply touched Chen Xinglong.

In fact, he did not blame Sun Qinghe for the death of the son, on the contrary, he actually blamed himself more. If it weren't for your own indulgence, maybe none of this would have happened!

It's just that the most difficult word to write in the world is the word regret.

Seeing that Sun Qinghe had a will to die, Chen Xinglong shed two lines of tears: "Qinghe, you..."

Sun Qinghe smiled silently, and without waiting for Chen Xinglong to finish speaking, he said to him: "The king doesn't have to be like this, since my father died, if it wasn't for the king to take care of me, I'm afraid I would have been a pile of bones." In today's battle, I will fight to the death to find a way for the king! ”

After that, Sun Qinghe looked at the generals present again, and arched his hand and said: "Generals, I am willing to lead the prince's army to rush to the front, you just need to follow behind." ”

"If I succeed, you can work together to tear a hole in the officers and soldiers. If the battle is unfavorable or if I die in front of the battle, you can withdraw! ”

His words made all the generals a little ashamed, and they all said: "I am willing to go with the general!" ”

Sun Qinghe laughed and said, "In this way, I will thank you generals in the future!" ”

"King, I'll go first!" Sun Qinghe gave Chen Xinglong a deep salute with his fists, then said no more, and rode away with the surrounding pro-soldiers.

The rest of the generals also followed, and after saluting Chen Xinglong, the whole army stepped forward.

Sun Qinghe led people to the front of the two armies, first killed more than a dozen routs that disturbed the morale of the army, stabilized and controlled the situation, and then led people to rush to the battle formation of the official army without hesitation.

At the time of the final life and death, with Sun Qinghe and the royal army as an example, the Xingwang army, who had fallen into the end of the road, broke out with the last bloody bravery.

Led by the most elite thousands of pro-soldiers in the Xingwang army, the Xingwang army launched a decisive charge against the officers and troops in front.

Braving the dense rain of arrows, Xingwang's army even rushed to the front of the official army for a time, and the two armies began hand-to-hand combat.

It's a pity that these Xingwang troops retreated all the way from Chenzhou after all, and the morale of the army has already collapsed. Although the number of people is large, the combat power is already one or two out of ten.

Even though under the leadership of Sun Qinghe, they showed their last fighting spirit, but in the face of the officers and soldiers who were waiting for the battle, they were unable to catch it and it was difficult to make contributions.

Sun Qinghe took the lead bravely, but he rushed into battle several times, but he returned in vain. In addition to throwing thousands of corpses, the Xingwang army made no progress in storming the defense line of the official army.

At this time, in the face of the official and military formation in front of him, the morale of the Xingwang army finally collapsed again. There are more and more people fleeing for their lives in the army, and they have reached the point where they are inexhaustible.

Seeing more and more people fleeing backwards, Sun Qinghe, who was already covered in blood, stopped the guards from killing the rout. "It's come to this, and there's no way back to heaven, so let them go!"

Subsequently, he gathered the last thousand people who were still with him, and once again launched a charge against the official army, which was also the last time he attacked the formation of the official army.

This time, he fell on the way to the charge. When he died, Sun Qinghe was hit by more than ten arrows, and he was still shouting forward until he was out of breath.

As soon as Sun Qinghe died, the collapse of Xingwang's army was even worse, and the rest of the generals in Xingwang's army had no intention of fighting with the official army and retreated one after another.

Lin Fan took the opportunity to send the 1,000 cavalry under his command to reap the lives of the routed soldiers of the Xingwang army.

Both in terms of momentum and efficiency in pursuing the enemy, the cavalry was too much more than a two-legged foot soldier.

As soon as the official cavalry came out, under the sharp swords, the Xingwang army, which was already a collapsed army, completely collapsed.

Under the galloping horses' hooves, the Xingwang army did not have the slightest power to fight back, and could only be reduced to the souls of the officials and soldiers.

When the generals who had retreated from the front brought the news of Sun Qinghe's death to Chen Xinglong, Chen Xinglong couldn't help but burst into tears.

At this time, the rest of Xingwang's army did not feel sad, but kept asking Chen Xinglong in a panic what to do.

"King, the official army has rushed towards us, what should we do now?"

"Yes, King, hurry up and think of a way!"

"King, let's go, or it'll be too late!"

"Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, the king let's go!"

Listening to the noise of everyone in his ears, Chen Xinglong burst into tears, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "Let's go, run for your life!" ”

His words frightened everyone, and he hurriedly said, "Isn't the king leaving?" ”

"You all go, don't worry about me, you can go one by one!" Chen Xinglong waved his hand at them and said weakly.

"However, there is no king, we..."

Chen Xinglong suddenly shouted: "Go, let me go!" ”

Everyone saw that Chen Xinglong had made up his mind, and persuaded him not to move, so they stopped persuading. They just hurriedly saluted him, and then fled for their lives.

Soon the people around Chen Xinglong were almost gone, only

The rest of the original henchman and some of his own soldiers are still here.

Chen Xinglong glanced at this henchman who had been following him for a long time and asked, "They are all gone, why don't you leave?" Stay and die? ”

Instead of answering his question, the advisor took out a common soldier's outfit that had been prepared long ago.

He handed the clothes to Chen Xinglong and said, "King, what those people said just now makes sense, stay in the green mountains, and you are not afraid of running out of firewood." As long as the king can escape and re-erect the banner of rebellion, people of insight from all over the world will definitely gather, and it is not difficult to reproduce the grand occasion of the former Xingwang army! ”

"So please take off the king's robe and put on this clothes, and we will escort the king and rush out."

Chen Xinglong first lost his parents today, and then lost Sun Qinghe, who he regarded as his righteous son, and was disheartened by this time.

He pushed away his clothes: "No need, even if you can escape, what if you can escape, the court can defeat me this time, and it can also defeat me next time." Over the years, I have been on the run for too long, and now that Chenzhou is lost, hundreds of thousands of troops are either dead or surrendering or fleeing, and I don't want to flee anymore! ”

Seeing that Chen Xinglong had no intention of surviving, and seeing that the officers and soldiers were getting closer and closer to here, the strategist was very anxious.

He knelt on the ground and pleaded with tears in his eyes: "The king doesn't need to be so depressed, there are countless emperors and generals throughout the ages. ”

"Back then, Qi Taizu was beaten to the point that there were only 18 horsemen left, and he escaped with his life when he hid in the deep mountains and old forests, but then he also made a comeback, won the world, and created the Great Qi Dynasty that had been a country for more than 140 years? How are today's things compared to Qi Taizu in the past? Why should the king be so discouraged? ”

Chen Xinglong, who was like ashes, was not moved by the strategist's words: "I understand what you mean, but I know that I am not Qi Taizu, and I can't do what he did back then." You better put on these clothes yourself, and run for your life! ”

"King!" The strategist was anxious.

Chen Xinglong waved his hand and said in a calm tone: "You go!" ”

The sparkle in the strategist's eyes vanished, as if something that had been holding on to his heart for a long time had suddenly collapsed.

He confirmed to Chen Xinglong for the last time: "The king really doesn't want to leave? ”

Chen Xinglong nodded: "You go quickly, it's too late!" ”

After clarifying the Lord's intentions, the counsellors no longer demanded.

He stood up and simply threw away the clothes in his hand, and then he smiled heartily: "Since the king is not leaving, then I will not leave either!" ”

Chen Xinglong was moved and asked, "You... Why? You go now, it may be too late! ”

The strategist had already seen it at this time, and he smiled and said, "Since ancient times, strategists have existed to assist the Lord, and since the Lord I believe is gone, then what is the point of me living in this world?" It's better to go with the king, maybe when you get to the underworld, the king will need my help!" ”

His words made Chen Xinglong angry and laugh: "Just for this? ”

The strategist said freely and firmly: "This is enough!" ”

Chen Xinglong saw his determination, so he nodded and said, "That's fine, you can also have a companion on Huangquan Road." ”

At this time, the shouts of the officers and soldiers were getting closer and closer, and Chen Xinglong knew that maybe in the next moment, the officers and soldiers would come to him.

He pressed the hilt of his sword, and said to his adviser, and at the same time to himself, "It's almost time, and it's time for us to hit the road!" ”
