In the Beida camp in the distance, Shan Yu, a Narong person, was still waving a fan and looked south calmly. At this time, a "tsk" sound sounded in his ears.

But it was these Rong commanders who saw the remnants of those Qin soldiers making the final dying struggle.

On the pale face, there was an imperceptible hint of redness. He whispered to himself, "Perhaps, the days are still not over." But so what. ”

In front of him, Zhezhe and Han Yun were separated, and Zhezhe said to Han Yun: "You Qin people are really crazy, you still have to charge at this time, don't you know if it's a death move?" ”

Han Yun smiled and replied, "Master Wanfu, I heard that if you cut off the neck of the snake, its head will still launch a final fight against the enemy, I think what you see in front of you is this truth. ”

After Zhezhe heard the translator's translation, he glared at Han Yun with wide eyes, and said, "It's hard to talk to you Qin people, and if you have something to say, what kind of snake is involved." ”

Speaking of this, Zhezhe suddenly thought that Shan Yu was also a Qin person, so he couldn't help but shrink his neck and stop speaking.

Sure enough, Shan Yu said coldly: "Zhezhe, take your men and horses to answer Alu, it's time to close the net over there." ”

Zhezhe secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and hurriedly said yes and retreated.

Seeing that Zhezhe had left, Shan Yu said softly: "Commander Han Qianfu regrets it? ”

Han Yun beside him was thrilled when he heard this, and cold sweat oozed from his back. Just now he saw the soldiers of the Nanda Battalion launch the final charge, and he couldn't help but feel a little heroic and moved, in his opinion, this is the posture of the soldiers of Daqin, and it is also the destination he yearns for.

But when I think that I have become a rebel, I can't help but feel some strange emotions in my heart. Although he is different from Jiang Hong and others, he did not take the initiative to join the army but was coerced to do it as a last resort, but he still made a name for treason, and he couldn't wash it away in his life.

When Fang Cai Zhezhe asked himself, Han Yun said what was in his heart.

Although Zhezhe couldn't hear the emotions mixed in it, how could Shan Yu not be able to hear it, so he asked Han Yun if he regretted it.

Han Yun hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said to Shan Yu: "Da Shan Yu, Han Yun is the general of the defeated army, and you have your trust to entrust him with important tasks, how can he regret it, please rest assured that Da Shan Yu." ”

"Commander Han Qianfu, you and I are both Qin people, how can we not be proud when we see the soldiers of our mother country fighting bravely. But Commander Han Qianfu needs to remember his identity, if there is less decisiveness on the battlefield, then the Qin soldiers on the high ground today will be what Han Qianren will look like tomorrow. ”

With that, Shan Yu turned around and left.

Han Yun stood upright, his armor sticking to his chest and back as if it had been washed with sweat.

As soon as the wind blew, Han Yun trembled like chaff.

Yuanzhou is located on the Loess Plateau in the northwest of China, except for the line from Yuanzhou to Xiaoguan Chi Road, which leaves a flat river due to the flow of the Qingshui River, the rest of the places are all thousands of ravines and ravines.

On this day, it was the early morning of the fifth day when Zhong Xu took the Yinyangou Chi Road, and several light horsemen in black armor went from east to west along the Yinyan Gou Chi Road.

Although these cavalry were not as well-equipped as the original Xuanjia cavalry, it can be seen from their skill in controlling horses that the horsemen were indeed elite soldiers.

Their faces were dusty, but their eyes were resolute, and they were now crawling on the backs of their galloping horses, whipping their horses' rumps with their whips in order to make them run faster.

Behind them, several groups of cavalry chased after them from afar, those cavalry had black armor, and some wore animal skins, but there were people holding the banner of the red sun sandwiched between them.

After a while, the cavalry in front had already passed through the high ground on the east side of the Yinyan Gully Gallop Road, and there was a flat river in front of them.

The cavalry straightened their waists, and a few of them turned their heads to look behind them, and sure enough, they saw that the chasing Rong cavalry was no longer chasing when they reached the high ground on the east side, and stood at the intersection of the gallop road and looked at their group from afar.

On the wooden village on the high ground, there is also a large earthy yellow flag, and on the sun painted on the flag, a red flame is slowly rising with the dance of the wind blowing the flag.

Zhao Zhihai has subconsciously felt that something is not good since he lost contact with Zhong Xujun of Yinyangou yesterday, and as time goes by, this feeling of unhappiness has become more and more obvious.

He knew that Zhong Xu was brave and strategic, even if he was attacked by the Rong people, he would not be unable to send back the slightest information.

Could it be that Zhong Xu's army was completely wiped out?

Zhao Zhihai was secretly frightened and forced himself to dispel this ridiculous idea.

That's an army of 30,000, and it will be wiped out in one day, which is absolutely impossible.

Perhaps the Rong people forcibly occupied the high ground on the east side and stuck the Yinyan Ditch Chi crossing, so that Zhong Xu's army could not return to Xiao Pass. Perhaps the messenger soldiers sent by Zhong Xu were intercepted and killed by the Rong people. Perhaps Zhong Xu suffered a fiasco, and he couldn't retreat to Xiaoguan, so he had to retreat to Yuanzhou.

But all kinds of conjectures were rejected by Zhao Zhihai one by one, and the most likely thing to happen was still his first guess, and the whole army was wiped out.

Although Zhao Zhihai has been in the center for a long time and has not led troops to fight for a long time, as the head of the Zhao family who started with martial arts, it is common for him to lead troops to go out and kill the battlefield when he is young.

Brilliant achievements, brave fighting spirit, and treacherous tactics are all the basis for Zhao Zhihai to stand out from the Zhao family and inherit the Shijue, how can he not understand the current situation.

It's just that 30,000 people were wiped out in one day, and it was Zhong Xu, who was the first in Great Qin's armed forces, who led the troops, which made him unwilling to believe his guess no matter what.

Last night, Zhao Zhihai ordered dozens of scout teams to be dispatched, allowing them to ride the night or enter the gallop road, or enter the hills lightly, and be sure to find out the situation of Zhong Xu's army, but until today it was almost noon, and none of the scout soldiers returned.

Zhao Zhidong and Wang Min entered Zhao Zhihai's house together, looked at the general's still upright back, and bowed to him at the same time.

Zhao Zhihai didn't answer, and only said slowly after a long time: "Let's talk about it." ”

With a light question, he smashed the heavy hammer into the hearts of Zhao Zhidong and Wang Min. The two looked at each other and Zhao Zhidong said: "General, just now the scout reported, saying that the highlands on both sides of the Yinyan Ditch Chi Road have been taken away by the Rong people. ”

Zhao Zhihai was obviously mentally prepared, and after hearing this, he just said slowly: "I know." ”

After a few breaths, he asked again, "Is there any news of Zhong Xu?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Zhidong glanced at Wang Min again and said, "There is no news of General Zhong. After the scout crossed the Yinyan Ditch gallop road, he probed ten miles in the direction of Yuanzhou, and found no traces of our soldiers and soldiers and the brigade passing by. ”

This is Wang Min interjected: "General, yesterday morning General Zhong came to report, he took 8,000 soldiers to the south to pursue the discovered soldiers, maybe General Zhong is still fighting at this moment." The general should not worry, he is willing to lead his troops and horses to regain the high ground, and then lead General Zhong back to the pass. ”

"Okay", Zhao Zhihai raised his hand to interrupt Wang Min's words, and asked the two: "In addition to the galloping road in the customs here, there are several small roads to go, although the road is rugged and impassable, and it is impossible to transport grain and grass through mules and carriages, but the soldiers on foot can walk. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhihai hesitated a little, then stopped talking and thought again.

Zhao Zhidong and Wang Min were a little strange why Zhao Zhihai wanted to say these things to the two of them. The path from Xiao Pass to the Guannei is also known to both of them, and the battle has been fought here for more than 500 years, and every grass and tree has long been imprinted in the hearts of every soldier who goes out on the expedition, but Zhao Zhihai suddenly mentioned it, which made the two of them a little unclear.

Looking at Zhao Zhihai's words again, there was a lot of hesitation, but it made the two of them uneasy.

After a while, Zhao Zhihai seemed to have made up his mind, turned around, and said to the two of them: "Order, quickly send someone to set off from the small road to Xijing to meet Qin Gong and ask for reinforcements to be sent quickly." ”

After that, ignoring the two people who were stunned in the local Zhao Wang, he sat down a few times ago and wrote a letter.

King Zhao and the two were stunned on the ground at a loss, how could they have seen the powerful minister in front of them who was above 10,000 people under one person and asked for help.

The two of them suddenly felt their faces burn.

Zhao Zhidong knelt on the ground with a "plop".

"General, don't ask Xijing for help, the general is humiliated today, the sin is in our incompetence, please ask the general to allocate my soldiers and horses, let me recapture Yinyangou for you, shame on you."

Wang Min also knelt on the ground, he understood that Zhao Zhihai asked for help in Xijing, but he was actually asking Fang Yuanheng for help.

If this letter is issued, Zhao Zhihai's efforts in the past ten years and his prestige in the court will also plummet, and after that, he will be stepped on by Fang Yuanheng and will not be able to turn over.

But he didn't know how to advise Zhao Zhihai, so he had to kneel on the ground and smash the ground with his fists.

Zhao Zhihai ignored the two, picked up the letter and read it again and again after writing it for a long time, and finally handed the letter to Zhao Zhidong with a long sigh.

Zhao Zhidong hurriedly took it, and just wanted to admonish again, but saw Zhao Zhihai wave his hand and said: "Zhidong, this is a national war, not a battle for me alone, I am dead Qin, the side temple is still there, and the heirs can also climb Dongyue again, I die in Qin, then there will be no Zhao family in the world from now on, do you understand?" ”

Zhao Zhidong opened his mouth, finally stopped speaking, got up and walked out with the letter.

Zhao Zhihai got up and walked to Wang Min, who was still lying on the ground, bent down to help this wise general, and actually smiled, and said to Wang Min, who was looking at him blankly:

"You and Zhong Xu have followed me for almost twenty years, you two are literate and martial, and you complement each other beside me, now that Zhong Xu is missing, the battle in the future of Xiaoguan will depend on you."

After hearing this, Wang Min knelt on the ground again, and said in a trembling voice: "The general's kindness to me is as heavy as Mount Tai, and Min should do his best and dare to die for the general." ”

Zhao Zhihai smiled slightly, helped Wang Min up again, and said, "Don't say dead, it's not time to die yet."

Did you hear the horn outside the city, it seems that the Rong people want to fight quickly, you go out with me, and let the Rong people learn the power of this spirit fox. ”

Among Zhao Zhihai's subordinates, there are four people who he likes the most, Qihu Zhong Xu, the first in bravery.

Linghu Wang Min is good at using soldiers.

Zhang Ziyu, the director of the criminal department, is selfless with an iron face.

There is another one who is the current official mound, and the world calls it the crane Gu Daoyuan.

Among these four people, Zhong Xu is good at martial arts, Gu Daoyuan is good at governance, Zhang Ziyu is good at prison, and Wang Min is good at planning, so this expedition, Zhao Zhihai took Zhong Xu and Wang Min to follow, leaving Gu Daoyuan and Zhang Ziyu in the center.

At this time, Zhao Zhihai can rely on the only general Wang Min.
