In fact, Xu Hu didn't know, the reason for this was simple, because everything was in the calculations of Rong Ren Shan Yu, the white-faced scribe in his thirties who always waved a feather fan in his hand and was of medium height had already explained the results of today's battle to his generals clearly and clearly before he sent out his troops yesterday night.

After the half-day battle, the events and results of the battle were astonishingly consistent with what Shan Yu said.

Xu Hu and the soldiers on the gallop road were chased by the Rong people, desperately fled to the east, and after more than half an hour, they could see the highland camp located on the east side of Yinyan Valley.

In the past half an hour, every time Xu Hu and the soldiers passed by the highland camp that was still guarded by the Qin soldiers in the morning, they could see from a distance that the Xuanwu banner on the village had been replaced by an earthy yellow Chiyang flag.

This made Xu Hu more and more frightened, it seems that the Rong people not only concentrated their forces to capture the Xikou Heights, but also had the remaining troops to capture the rest of the highlands along the Yinyangou Chi Road.

The unpredictable use of this multi-pronged approach couldn't help but produce a sense of powerlessness in Xu Hu's heart, and it wasn't until he saw the Dongkou Highland Camp that his heart was rekindled from ashes.

Looking at the Xuanwu banner fluttering on the camp, Xu Hu's spirit was shocked, and he shouted to the soldiers who were tired of running behind him: "Brothers, the camp ahead has not yet been captured by the soldiers, hurry up with me to defend the village, and General Zhong will come to rescue us immediately." ”

When the soldiers heard the voice of the commander, they gritted their teeth and followed Xu Hu towards the hopeful camp.

At this moment, a horn sounded from the high ground on both sides of the gallop road, and Xu Hu knew something was wrong when he heard it, but he still stopped his horsepower and looked up at the high ground on both sides.

I saw that on the high ground on both sides of the Yinyan Ditch Chi Road, the figures of Rong soldiers slowly appeared, one by two, three by three, until the dense Rong soldiers stood on the hillsides on both sides.

When Xu Hu saw this, his pale face became even more ugly, and he didn't continue to move forward, because he knew that there were so many soldiers ambushed here, so there would definitely be ambushes on the road ahead.

Sure enough, a moment later, a team of about 3,000 people appeared in front of Xu Hu from the distance of the gallop. It's just that the more than 3,000 people, like the soldiers behind them, wore the black coats of the Qin army and held the bows and arrows of the Qin army in their hands.

Xu Hu turned his head and looked behind him, desperate faces, and tired figures passed in front of his eyes like a marquee.

He looked at the sky again, and looked at the Xuanwu banner fluttering above the highland camp not far away. couldn't help but sigh, picked up the Changge in his hand, and as soon as his legs clamped the horse's back, he was about to rush to the enemy army in front.

At this moment, many of Xu Hu's pro-soldiers stepped forward one after another, blocking Xu Hu's way forward. These horse teams with no more than 100 people left are the pro-soldiers who have fought with Xu Hu in the south and the north, and how can they stand idly by when they see that the lord wants to rush and kill alone.

A man whipped his horse and approached Xu Hu, and said respectfully to him: "General, I have been following you for several years, and since I became your personal soldier, I have the responsibility to protect you.

If the lord wants to die in battle today, then we should die first, and if the Rong people want to kill you, they should also step on our corpses to do it, otherwise, even if we go to the Nine Springs, we are also sinners who have broken our oath. Please also ask the general to fulfill. ”

Xu Hu is a native of Haiwu County, Qinlan County, and his own soldiers are naturally selected from his distant relatives and neighbors, these people are not only Xu Hu's personal soldiers, but also his relatives and neighbors.

After hearing what they said, Xu Hu was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.

Looking at the back of this hundred-number person raising his whip and killing into the distance, Xu Hu couldn't help but shed tears, and kept calling some names in his mouth, "Ameng, Niu Wa, Seventh Brother, Man Zhong......."

As he read it, he saw that the hundreds of people who lined up in the attacking queue were suddenly pierced through their bodies from the left and right sides and in front of them at the same time by more than a thousand arrows that suddenly fell from the sky, and fell on this galloping road with dust fluttering in the sky together with the war horses under their crotch.

After the smoke and dust, the bodies of the men and horses and the galloping road were covered with white arrow feathers, gently swaying with the breeze.

At this moment, a person walked out of the enemy army column in front, who was dressed in Xuanjia, with a gray beard floating on his chest, holding a long ge, riding on a horse like a general in the painting, and slowly approaching Xu Hu.

He walked twenty steps in front of Xu Hu, stopped his horse's steps, and said loudly:

"Listen to the Qin soldiers in front, I am the commander of the Great Xia Kingdom, the Great Xia Kingdom Qin Shan Yu has an order, the people of the world are originally the people of Great Xia, the violent Zhou has no virtue, and the reverse usurpation is Zhengshuo, now I have no way to cut down for the heavens, and when you see the arrival of the Heavenly Master, you don't quickly put down your weapons, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, if not, let you and others be in a different place."

As soon as he finished speaking, he only heard the Qin army commander in front of him sneer, and said in his mouth: "What a mud-legged pariah, and they still want to change the dynasty, hahahaha." At this point, I couldn't help but laugh.

And the Qin soldiers behind him were still drooping their heads, looking like they were listening to the respect of the dying moment, Lu Chang suddenly realized that only this lord understood the meaning of Fang Cai's own words, and those soldiers didn't know what they were talking about.

Lu Chang was about to explain, but the main general of the Qin army, who had listened to the laughter, suddenly threw away Changge in his hand, pulled out the sword from his waist, and pointed at Lu Chang, who quickly lifted Changge, and shouted:

"I am the doctor of the Great Qin State, and the captain Xu Hu under the command of the general is also, the ancestors of the Xu family have protected the people of Great Qin with their blood for 500 years from being slaughtered by the Rong people, how can my generation insult the glory of the ancestors.

What qualifications do you, a retainer who betrayed your ancestors and seek glory, to persuade me to surrender, if you die today, you scum who have surrendered to the army, it will disgrace the reputation of my Xu family for 500 years.

Yao Jun is above, and I, the descendants of Xu Hu, will definitely kill you scum and avenge my shame. ”

As soon as he said that, Xu Hu's eyes widened angrily, he lifted the sword, and swiped the blade of the sword hard across his neck with a loud shout.

Lu Chang saw a bloody arrow rushing into the sky in front of him, and after drawing a perfect arc in the air, the general who was immediately carrying the sword straightened up and fell off his horse on his back.

Lu Chang stared blankly at the dead corpses on the ground, and a strange emotion rose in his heart. He looked at the many Qin soldiers in front of him, pursed his lips, and said, "Listen to the Qin soldiers, put down the weapons in their hands, and General Shan Yu will be exempted from the death penalty." ”

After saying that, Lu Chang glanced at Xu Hu's corpse on the ground again, turned his horse's head and returned to his main formation.

These Qin soldiers have gone through a bloody battle, and they have run away desperately to this point, and they are already at the end of their crossbows.

Watching the main general and the main general's personal soldiers die one after another, although it also aroused a sense of common hatred and hatred for everyone, but when facing the formation of soldiers in front of them slowly moving forward, this bit of heroism was quickly replaced by endless fear.

One of the Qin soldiers staggered out of the crowd, and he shouted at the soldiers who were coming in front of him, "I've surrendered." ”

With that, he threw down Changge, collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, two lines of hot tears on his cheeks, like flowing water, two tear stains rushed out in the loess on his face.

Then another man threw away his bow and arrows and shouted, "Down, down." After shouting, he also lay on the gallop road.

The third, the fourth, all the Qin soldiers surrendered.

When Lu Chang led his subordinates to the front of the troops, he found that no one still had weapons in their hands.

Standing, sitting, and lying, they all had clouded eyes, and their eyes were filled with fear, sorrow, and inexplicable complexity.

Clear water flowed beside the galloping Qin soldiers, and it was here that a big bend was turned, and the river, which was usually quite calm, suddenly surged at this time.

On the high ground.

Xue Simu looked at the retreating reinforcements in the distance in a daze, and couldn't help but shake his body again and again, several consecutive charges added several new injuries to his already tired body, and he only felt dizzy with too much blood at the moment.

He sat on the ground and saw that the soldiers of the Rong people under the high ground had formed a siege again.

"Are you going to die?" Xue Simu asked himself softly.

He turned his head and saw the soldiers lying on the ground beside him, some gasping for breath, some coughing violently, and some of them motionless, as if they were asleep.

Before the Rong people surrounded this place in the early morning, there were as many as 4,000 brothers around him, but now there are only a few hundred dead and wounded, and as far as the eye can see, I am afraid there are only a few hundred living people.

He looked down the hill again, but suddenly found that some Qin soldiers came up one after another from the battlefield, and these people were either supporting each other, or staggering on their own, or falling to the ground, climbing up step by step.

"Brothers, reinforcements are coming." Xue Simu said softly.

Several people around heard what Xue Simu said, and were slightly stunned, and followed his gaze to look at the Qin soldiers who were climbing.

Several people stood up and staggered down.

After a long time, these people stood in front of Xue Simu.

A man in armor covered in blood and flesh struggled to walk up to Xue Simu, standing as straight as he could, and then said solemnly:

"The vanguard officer Xu Haijun Hou commanded two or five hundred propositions Zhong Yu was ordered to rescue your army, and has now arrived on the high ground. General Xu gave an order, and after the rescue sergeant joined your army, he immediately organized a counterattack and routed the Rong people under the high ground.

The general still has a military order, please give it a command. ”

After hearing this, Xue Simu looked at the sergeant in front of him, who was about thirty years old, and nodded with a smile. Just as he tried to stand up, but found that his legs could no longer move, he lowered his head, looked at the blood flowing down the hillside to the distance, and smiled bitterly.

"If you're tired, you should go and rest for a while, and then we'll charge later."

"No", Zhang Zhongyu gave a sonorous and powerful response, and was just about to turn around, but his legs fell to the ground with a weak leg.

Seeing this, Xue Simu was also anxious, and struggled to move his body, but in the end he sat on the spot without moving.

The soldiers on the high ground saw all this, and some of the soldiers who could still stand up also tried their best to walk towards Xue Simu's side.

One walked to Zhang Zhongyu's side, squatted down to take a look, touched his pulse with his hand, and then looked up and shook his head at Xue Simu.

Xue Simu blinked and turned his head away.

After a while, there was a choked sound in the wooden village on the high ground, and Xue Simu shouted angrily: "Whatever you cry, shut up for me." ”

With a scolding, the choked voices gradually disappeared.

Xue Simu shouted loudly again: "You are all good men of my Great Qin, you have not insulted the glory of your parents' clan, and after you die, you are also worthy of being worshiped by my Great Qin Temple, so what is there to be sad about such glory." ”

Speaking of this, Xue Simu suddenly coughed loudly, and when he was fighting, he had suffered a blow to his right chest, thinking that his lungs might have been damaged.

Those Qin soldiers listened to the coughing sound of the main general and said nothing, and a glimmer of hope rose in their hearts.

"My family has been a small farmer for generations, and there is no ancestral hall, can I really enter the temple after I die, it is really glorious. Brother Gouzi, you laughed at me for being unproductive in this life, do you know that I am going to enter the Taimiao. ”

"Son, the general said that I can enter the Taimiao after I die."

"Do you know, daughter-in-law, I'm going to enter the Taimiao."

......

Xue Simu didn't know what those soldiers were thinking, and after a cough, he said, "Those who can still stand up should pick up their weapons." ”

To his surprise, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw hundreds of people standing up with their weapons raised, Xue Simu looked around with some surprise, and saw in their eyes the unprecedented perseverance.

He didn't know that his casual words had rekindled new hope for these soldiers who were waiting to die.

"Okay, good, good, today we will kill the enemy to serve the country, and he will have our brothers and grandchildren to avenge us one day. All the soldiers obey the order, follow me to kill the enemy! ”

With that, Xue Simu took out his sword, raised the hilt of the sword with one hand, grabbed the mud and grass on the ground with the other, and slowly squirmed in the direction of the Rong people.

The Qin soldiers standing on the high ground looked at their main general blankly, at the main general who was slowly squirming on the ground, at the main general who was covered in injuries and generously went to death, some people shed tears, some raised their heads and said nothing, and some people didn't dare to look at it anymore.

"Kill the enemy!"

At this time, a Qin soldier couldn't stand it anymore, touched the tears on his face with his hand, and took the lead in rushing down the mountain.

He was a deserter from the North Battalion, he was a coward who hid behind the soldiers of the South Battalion, and he once hid in the hidden place in the wooden village and watched Xue Simu rush to kill several times with his robe.

Now, he is no longer afraid, he no longer wants to hide, the matter has come to this, it is just a death, what is so terrible.

The rest of the Qin soldiers also began to shout along with the soldiers who took the lead, and the soldiers who could not walk with their legs unhindered and the rest of the hundreds of Qin soldiers rushed to the bottom of the high ground.
