Zhezhe led the remnants of more than 20,000 horses and horses to flee to Jigongling, which was more than 30 miles away from Quwo, and only then stopped his defeated retreat at dawn when the sky was polished.

The reason why he stopped here was because he still remembered that Mo Nanhu and Bei Mu Er also led an army of nearly 15,000 to pursue the Qin army that had fled east before the city of Quwo was broken.

Although at this time, he fully understood that it was very likely that the two of them had just fallen into the Qin people's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, in fact, there was no Qin army that fled east at all.

Moreover, those Qin cavalry appeared from the dark night in the east and came to attack him. That direction is also the direction in which Mo Nanhu and Bemur led their troops to pursue.

Although this is enough to conclude that the subordinates of Monanhu and Bemur must be more than lucky, how could Zhezhe ignore his unknown people and leave without taking a heed?

The tanma sent out to inquire about the news had already left batch after batch, but Zhezhe had waited for a day, and still did not wait for the figure of Mo Nanhu and Bemuer or those tanma.

"Leave some brothers here to wait for the returning Tanma, and the rest will follow me back to Xuchang to rest for some time.

Send people to Suibei City and Hanhai City, and ask them to send some more soldiers and horses. All parts of the country are now in the rear, and there is no need to keep too many soldiers.

Those newly recruited Qin people were also brought over, and they didn't train in the war, and how long they trained in the rear was in vain.

No matter how brave the cheetah is, how can it be called a real killer if he does not rush into the flock and feast on the blood.

What's more, after this battle, the warriors on the grassland have shed too much blood, and they should not be allowed to lose their lives again. ”

After Zhezhe told the surviving generals such as Han Yun and Bortu beside him, he named a few of them to lead the troops to the direction of Qinlan County to transfer reinforcements.

He himself wiped his face as black as lacquer, and turned to his horse.

"Captain Zhezhewan, look, a team of soldiers has come from the north."

An abrupt voice suddenly sounded, Zhezhe quickly stopped after obeying, and immediately turned his head to look at the hills and forests in the north with the people beside him.

I saw a group of listless soldiers on the hill walking slowly towards me as if they were lazy and lazy.

The crowd looked intently at the marching group, and it was only after a moment that they could see their appearance clearly.

The flags in the team are not the Red Yang Flag, what is it?

The tall people in the team, dressed in animal skins, with their hair and their tall figures, were not the people who went to pursue the east of Quwo City last night and fled to the direction of Xiemapo, who was the Qin soldiers?

Zhezhe hurriedly mounted his war horse and quickly ran in the direction of the people from the north.

"Where are the Monan Tiger and Bemur?

Why have you all become like this?

Even if you are defeated, you are warriors on the steppe, and what kind of system you are so discouraged will cheer me up. ”

Zhezhe and dozens of people behind him galloped wildly on their warhorses as they angrily scolded the soldiers who passed by.

He saw that everyone in this team was covered in scars, and everyone had a look of despair on their faces, and this team of only two or three thousand people was like a walking corpse that had lost its soul, which made Zhezhe who had hurried past them feel uneasy.

Sure enough, at the end of the procession, Zhezhe finally saw some foot soldiers carrying a makeshift rough stretcher. On that stretcher lay a man who was incomparably like him

The familiar red-haired man.

The man's whole body was charred black, revealing only his red hair and part of his face, and the rest of the place was thickly wrapped in coarse cloth.

Although the soldiers beside the strong man were also embarrassed compared to the other foot soldiers, they always did not show the same sluggish look as the rest of the soldiers.

It is precisely because of this that it has attracted the attention and footsteps of Zhezhe.

"How's Captain Bemul Wan?

What's going on? ”

Zhezhe hurriedly came to the side of the stretcher, hurriedly jumped off the horse, and asked the soldier carrying the stretcher while looking at the other Muer on the stretcher.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Bemuer on the stretcher open his eyes and look at him.

Bemu'er moved his trembling lips, obviously trying to tell Zhezhe something, but after trying hard, he couldn't say a word.

Zhezhe looked at the wounds all over the man in front of him and the blood ticking off the stretcher, and knew that Bemuer must be in pain, so he couldn't bear to let Bemuer talk more.

He said to Beimur gently: "Brother Beimur, don't speak, let the sons tell me what happened."

There will come a time of revenge, and debts must be repaid.

As long as his life is spared, the person who laughs today will kneel on the ground tomorrow and pray that the weapon of killing is not a dull knife.

Brother Bemuer, close your eyes and rest for a while. Let Zhezhe hear who it is that has brought us so much shame. ”

After Zhezhe finished speaking, he saw that Bei Muer closed his eyes, and his chest, which had risen and fallen rapidly because of excitement, gradually calmed down a little.

At this time, a commander next to the stretcher hurriedly said to Zhezhe: "Captain Zhezhe, last night the patriarch of the Monanhu and the commander of the Bemur led us to the east of Quwo City to pursue the fleeing Qin army.

After chasing for an hour, we entered the forest of Shemapo.

Originally, in the dark night, we saw those Qin people fleeing into the forest, and we didn't plan to pursue them anymore, but at this time, we suddenly found some traces of the people. ”

"Traces of the people." When Zhezhe heard this, he suddenly understood why the city of Quwo was able to set fire to the people in the city without caring about the people in the city.

It turned out that the people of the Qin State had already moved the people outside the city. I'm afraid that the people of the Qin State that they met were the last people to withdraw from the city.

When the commander saw that Zhezhe was contemplative, he stopped talking, and after a while, he saw Zhezhe regain his voice and look at himself, and then he continued to speak.

"The patriarch of the Monan Tiger sent a thousand people to explore the forest, and it turned out that there were thousands of people in the forest.

Although everyone thought it was strange, those people who asked them bluntly said that there was no Qin army ambush in this forest. And they were also sent out of the city by the Qin army to be thrown to Longmen.

Seeing that what the people said was true and there were no loopholes, the brothers carefully checked and found that most of them were old and weak women and children, and they would never be ambushed by the Qin soldiers.

That's why the patriarch of the Monan Tiger decided to lead the army through the forest and continue to pursue the fleeing Qin army.

It wasn't until the army chased out of the forest and came to a river valley that we found traces of the Qin army camping and resting.

The valley was less than ten feet wide, surrounded by a fairly flat riverbed. After careful investigation, we found that the riverbed was indeed one of the few places in the mountains where we could camp, and it was no wonder that the Qin army would take a short rest here.

The patriarch of the Monan Tiger and the commander of the Bemur Wanfu saw that the brothers had chased them out for three hours, and they were tired and tired, and they saw the place where the Qin army was camped

It is very rare to have an open and flat surface, so after deliberation, the brothers were allowed to rest here for a while. At the same time, he sent a scout horse to find out if there was an ambush by the Qin army on the road.

The brothers had fought hard for a day yesterday, and had traveled for several hours by night, and were already exhausted, so they rested in that valley after receiving orders. ”

When the commander said this, his face suddenly changed, as if he remembered something extremely terrible and painful, and after a pause for a while, he said hurriedly:

"We had been resting for less than two quarters of an hour when we heard a roar in our ears. Before the brothers could react, they suddenly noticed a flood water running down the riverbed to where we had set up camp.

Pity the countless brothers who were swept away by the flood before they could react, and the remaining brothers who fled to both sides of the river after hearing the screams from the upstream could only watch in amazement as the brothers who were still with them were buried in the flood. ”

Speaking of this, the commander seemed to be a little emotional, lowered his head and said no more.

Zhezhe looked up to the sky and sighed, raised his hand and patted the thousand-strong commander's shoulder.

In a few breaths, countless robes were washed away by the flood, and I am afraid that anyone will have a deep sense of powerlessness and fear.

After a long time, the commander calmed down again, and said to Zhezhe:

"Captain Bemur and Patriarch Monanhu agreed to make alternate patrols, so when the flood came, Captain Bemur and a few of us escaped.

Looking at the flood that silently took the lives of countless brothers, just when we were at a loss, Captain Bemur Wanfu was the first to react, and immediately ordered the brothers who fled ashore to count the number of people.

After counting, it was found that in just a quarter of an hour, there were less than 6,000 warriors left of our two tribes' more than 10,000 warriors.

And the patriarch of the Monan Tiger is also missing, and his whereabouts are unknown. ”

Seeing that the commander stopped talking again, but Zhezhe's eyes suddenly appeared in front of him a scene of a monstrous flood in the dark night, which made him shudder, and then blurted out: "How can it be so coincidental, this autumn day is different from summer, where does the flood come from?"

And you don't look like you have escaped from the flood, have you still gone to the city of Quwo? ”

When the commander heard Zhezhe's question, he immediately sighed bitterly and said, "Commander Wan, we all had this doubt, and no one understood where the flood came from. But then we understood that this was a conspiracy of the Qin people. ”

"The conspiracy of the Qin people?" Zhezhe looked at the commander in confusion, not knowing where to start. Could it be that the people of the Qin State will still call for wind and rain and scatter beans to become soldiers.

I saw that the commander nodded and continued: "We saw that our brothers had suffered many casualties, and we knew that the pursuit was impossible, so we prepared to leave the valley and return to Quwo.

But when we came to the woods of Xiemapo, we found that the way back was completely blocked by the Qin people.

Fortunately, they had just set the fire, so the fire had not yet burned in the rest of the place except for the main road, so Captain Bemur immediately ordered everyone to take the road and break through.

But Rao is the Qin people did not set fire to the soldiers and horses, but they waited for work, and we had to rush out of the sea of fire, so after a battle, many soldiers and horses were also lost.

Captain Bemur was also wounded by the Qin army in the battle.

As soon as we rushed out of the woods, we met the Tanma who came to meet us, and then we learned that Quwo was also attacked by the Qin army, and you have come here, Captain Wan.

We came here under the guidance of the Tanma. ”
