Xu Hu immediately ordered to send 5,000 people to quickly kill and retreat the Rong people on the eastern slope, climb the high ground and gather with the defenders of the high ground, and then kill the rest of the Rong soldiers.

Five thousand Qin soldiers, led by the two marquis, heard the general's order, shouted and rushed to the hillside on the east side of the Nandaying Heights.

The Rong people on the eastern slope saw a large number of Qin soldiers coming behind them, but to Xu Hu's surprise, they did not panic. In the unique horn sound of the Rong people, they seemed to have known that there would be Qin soldiers from the east, and immediately turned around and rushed down to the Qin reinforcements who rushed from top to bottom.

Xu Hu couldn't help but feel a little uneasy when he saw the actions of the Rong people, it was said that the Rong people had been attacking the high ground for an hour, and it was when the soldiers were tired and tired, and his plan to suddenly rush to the Rong people from the back would definitely make the Rong soldiers panic, so as to gradually turn the tide of the battle.

But he saw that as soon as Rong Renfang found out that his sergeant was rushing to kill, he could instantly turn the direction of the attack and counterattack towards him, how could he not be frightened.

Could it be that this is a plan for the Rong people to surround and send reinforcements? If this is the case, why don't the Rong people set up ambushes on both sides of the silver rock ditch to block themselves?

Xu Hu's face instantly became extremely ugly, and he saw that although the Rong people who occupied the favorable terrain were only about 2,000 people, they still took advantage of the terrain to suppress their army under the hillside.

An hour ago, on the high ground.

After Xue Simu, the commander of the Qin army, led the defenders to fire several rounds of arrows when the Rong people attacked the high ground from all directions, he did not order the Changge soldiers to take advantage of the terrain to rush and kill the Rong soldiers who were climbing upwards, but let everyone retreat to the walls of the trench.

In his opinion, if the current 4,000 or so troops of the whole army fight against 20,000 soldiers, it will not be long before their soldiers are wiped out, so the most urgent thing at the moment is the word "drag". Drag until reinforcements arrive.

Seeing that the defenders no longer shot arrows, the Rong people calmly climbed to the heights, and when they reached the woods at the top of the mountain, they shot thousands of arrows with burning oil into the trees.

Obviously, they wanted to do another fire attack as they did in the capture of the North Camp.

The Qin soldiers in the camp on the hill had already prepared, and the woods were burning together, and they wet their clothes one after another. They knew that even though the fire was not easy to burn into the camp because of the presence of the trenches, the heat was enough to make them incapacitated.

However, because the water and soil were set up in front of the wall before the war, the soldiers who guarded the wall quickly made a countermeasure.

The fire burned for a quarter of an hour, and all that remained of charred dead tree trunks was left on the top of the mountain, except for a prominent wooden village.

A quarter of an hour later, the soldiers who were standing at the foot of the hill and watching the fire burn didn't care why the wooden village was intact in the fire, so they rushed up to the Qin soldiers' wooden village again in the sound of the horn blowing at the bottom of the mountain.

After waiting for several rounds of rocket attacks by the soldiers outside the village, Xue Simu lifted his sword, looked at the soldiers who had been killed and injured because of the fire extinguishing, and shouted:

"Brothers, serving the country is today, kill the enemy with me."

After drinking, he rushed out of the wooden village and rushed to the side with the most people in the west. The Changge soldiers behind him also rushed out from the east, west, north and south directions under the leadership of their respective five hundred lords and hundred generals.

In the past few days, although Xue Simu kept urging the soldiers to build the wooden camp wall, after all, because the time was too short, he only completed the wall of 100 steps on each side and did not close it, so as soon as he heard the order, the soldiers rushed out of the gap and rushed towards the archers who had not yet retreated.

The archers had already fired several rounds of rockets in a row, and seeing that the Qin soldiers who were rushing forward still had the strength to fight back, they turned around and ran down the mountain after shooting a few weak arrows sporadically.

The area of the Nanying Heights is not large, and the Rong people only deployed less than 3,000 people to garrison this place at the beginning, and Zhong Xu only sent two or three thousand people in batches to attack the highland. Therefore, no matter how many troops there were, they could only send about 6,000 men to attack the camp on the top of the mountain from four directions at the same time. The rest of the forces stood at the bottom of the slope, ready to take over the engagement.

Even so, when the advancing and retreating soldiers on the slope of the hill were intertwined, it made the hillside look crowded and dense.

Xue Simu saw a good opportunity for the staggered archers and stick and axe soldiers of the Rong soldiers, and leading the troops to catch up with the archers who could not retreat was a slash and kill. The Qin soldiers behind him mentioned Changge, constantly assassinating the Rong people in front of him.

But not long after, the stick and axe soldiers of the Rong soldiers had already arrived in front of the Qin soldiers.

The Qin soldiers were placed to death and could only fight to the death, but the Rong soldiers saw that victory was in front of them, coupled with their ferocious nature, where would they lose the upper hand in momentum. As soon as the two sides fought, it became a never-ending situation.

Seeing that Xue Simu's armor was neat, the Rong people knew that he must be the leader of the Qin soldiers, so several Rong soldiers came towards Xue Simu with sticks and axes. The pro-soldiers beside Xue Simu were not easy to match, and they killed the soldiers.

Xue Simu saw the soldiers on both sides scuffling together, laughed, blocked the blow on the head, smashed the nose of the soldier in front of him with a punch, and watched the soldier instinctively bow his head and cover his face, and then cut off his head with a sword from above.

But Xue Simu's bravery did not mean that all the Qin soldiers were like this, in the face of the Rong people who were a head taller, the Qin soldiers rushed to the killing array and gradually retreated.

Xue Simu saw with his peripheral vision that several Qin soldiers were lying on the ground after being continuously beaten because they couldn't stand the strength of the Rong people. With the passage of time, Qin Bing's physical strength gradually increased.

After about half an hour, after Xue Simu killed a Rong man who was forced to the front, he shouted: "Retreat to the village." ”

After hearing the general's order, the Qin soldiers who were fighting with the Rong people on the hillside retreated while fighting, but the Rong people became more and more courageous the more they fought, so that the Qin soldiers who were intertwined with the two armies could not get rid of the entanglement of the Rong people at all.

If you turn around and run, it will be a taboo for soldiers, and it can only cause a one-sided massacre, obviously the Qin soldiers know it, so they gritted their teeth and resisted to the death, moving back step by step.

At this time, Xue Simu found that his arms were almost out of strength, and it was estimated that another Rong person would be able to kill him, he was covered in blood and looked at the soldiers around him, looking at the Rong soldiers who rushed towards him one by one and the soldiers who took the initiative to take the initiative to protect themselves, he smiled bitterly, and asked himself in his heart:

"Is this going to be the end? It's been less than an hour. ”

Xue Simu knew that in addition to the thousand people who fled from the north camp in the village behind him, there were only a thousand archers left, and if he let the archers go out of the village to fight the enemy hand-to-hand combat, it would be tantamount to suicide, and it would not help at all, he could only hope that the thousand deserters could come to help him before the battle.

But as if his idea was not realistic, no one rushed out of the camp behind him.

At this moment, Xue Simu suddenly heard the horn of the Rong people coming from behind the high ground in the east, and the earth-shattering shouts of killing came into his ears, and he instantly understood that reinforcements were coming.

At this moment, not only Xue Simu understood, but almost all the Qin soldiers on the hillside had understood, and cheers rang out for a while. The Qin soldiers on all sides saw the light of life ignite again at the same time, and they couldn't help but boost their morale, and their fighting spirit rose again, and one after another Qin soldiers stopped retreating between shouting and scolding, and lifted Changge to stab at the Rong soldiers with all his strength.

Another horn sounded, and Xue Simu, who was already exhausted and hit in the chest, saw the Rong people retreating from the mountains in a trance, and his eyes went black and he fainted.

Three hours later.

The eastern hillside was crisscrossed with dead bodies, and the eagles in the sky were hovering above the smoke clouds and screaming, looking down vigilantly at the delicacies on the hillside, but none of them rushed down to peck. For he had already fallen to the ground with his companion, and was stabbed to death by one of the lying men.

Slowly, dozens of people rose up one after another from the pile of dead bodies on the hillside, some wearing Qin soldiers' black clothes, some wearing animal skin coarse cloth, these people stood up from all corners, and did not continue to fight, just watched the corpses of the mountain leave silently.

The one in black walked up the mountain, and the one in animal skin walked down the mountain, and they stopped silently and looked at each other, but there was only numbness and desolation in their eyes.

At this moment, on the gallop behind the eastern hillside, it is a different situation. The dust poured into the sky, and the black-clad Qin soldiers fled along the gallop road, while the Rong soldiers chased after them unslowly.

This Qin army was the reinforcement brought by Xu Hu, but at this moment, there were less than 3,000 people left to flee east under the leadership of Xu Hu.

Although Xiao Pass in the west is closer to him, the west exit of Yinyan Ditch has been occupied by the Rong people at the moment, where do they dare to flee there.

Xu Hu was riding on a horse, and he was about to whip up the horse, but he looked at the thousands of pacemakers behind him, and finally sighed and held the whip into the palm of his hand.

A few hours ago, when the battle on the eastern highlands had just begun, and the two armies were in the middle of a fierce battle, the Rong people withdrew the soldiers who were attacking the heights from the west, north, and south, and sent troops to immediately go around to the north and south sides of the Qin army to reinforce the troops attacking the mountain.

As soon as Xu Hu saw that something was wrong, he personally led all the remaining 3,000 soldiers to join the battle, wanting the whole army to wipe out the Rong soldiers on the mountain as soon as possible, and retreat into the cottage to join the Qin soldiers on the high ground.

But how can the first Rong soldiers be extremely powerful, not only far stronger than the rest of the soldiers, but also know how to take advantage of the terrain to fight and retreat, not to entangle with the Qin soldiers, but to constantly delay the speed of the Qin soldiers, so that the rest of the Rong soldiers who rushed to bite the Qin soldiers to the death.

The two sides come and go, transfer troops and send generals, and the main generals are also fighting each other to attack and avoid strengths, and constantly adjust their tactics.

During this period, the Qin soldiers on the cottage also organized several counteroffensives, but because the number was too small, they were pinned down by the troops who attacked from the other three sides at any time, and they did not achieve any effect after all.

The battle was dark, from noon to almost sunset, and finally when both armies had reached the critical point of collapse, the Rong people sent another 5,000 troops from the Beidaying Heights to outflank the Qin soldiers.

Seeing this, Xu Hu did not insist anymore, and in order to avoid the result of the annihilation of the whole army, he had to order the whole army to retreat.

Although Xu Hu knew that the two armies were stuck together, it was already you and me, and I had you, once this retreat order was issued, the consequences would be unpredictable, but if he didn't retreat, he would be wrapped in dumplings, and none of them would be able to escape.

Sure enough, the order for the Qin soldiers to retreat was given, and the flag waved, and the situation between the two armies was reversed in an instant, and the Qin soldiers, who were originally only slightly inferior, rushed to run backwards at this time, while the Rong people took a big stride and then killed the fleeing Qin soldiers.

By the time Xu Hu and the others ran to the gallop road, they had already found that there were less than 3,000 soldiers left behind them, and then looked at the high ground behind them, there were still hundreds of Rong Qin soldiers who were fighting.

But most of the Rong people were about to catch up with Chidao, and the matter was urgent, Xu Hu's face turned pale, he gritted his teeth, and ran east with less than 3,000 soldiers.

How much he hoped that Zhong Xu had received his letter at this moment, and he was waiting for him on a certain high ground at the moment.

Even if Zhong Xu blamed himself, punished himself or killed himself, Xu Hu had no complaints, he just wanted these robes who had lived and died with him to continue to live.

Moreover, until this moment, Xu Hu didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he had done, and Zhong Xu would definitely make the same choice as himself, and he didn't think that he had committed a taboo by outnumbering the crowd, according to his previous combat experience, such a surprise surprise attack, and quickly attacking the enemy from behind still have a greater chance of winning.

Moreover, there were originally nearly 4,000 Qin soldiers on that high ground, and under the attack of the two sides, the chances of victory were even greater.

However, the situation in front of him made him extremely frustrated, and he really couldn't imagine why he was the one who failed.
