Within two days, the Jin soldiers who had fled back one after another entered the border fort, but they were pitifully few, less than 3,000 men.

Although Wanyan Zongxian was heartbroken, he did not have time to express his condolences. Because according to the description of the soldiers who fled back, the Mongolian army will soon be in the city!

On the third day, Kutu led the Mongol army to approach the border fort of Linhuang, and temporarily camped ten miles outside the fort to repair, while spying on the enemy.

Standing on the hill, looking at the undulating Linhuang border fort in the distance, Kutura said to the altar: "The altar, after a month of expedition, it has finally reached the border of the Jin Kingdom!" ”

He said, "Congratulations, keep up the good work!" ”

"That's right." Hu Tu said, "Linhuang Border Fort is the Great Wall of the Jin Kingdom itself, although it is far less than the Great Wall of the Great Song Dynasty, but it is also a moat, which is not easy to cross. ”

Holding a horsewhip in his hand, he pointed to the Linhuang border fort and said: "The Linhuang border fort is built between the foothills, or deep ditches, or high walls, and we have no siege equipment, and it is indeed difficult to overcome it with war horses alone." ”

Qin Han interjected: "The lower officials have a way!" ”

"Say it quickly." Kutura and the altar asked in unison.

Qin Han said: "Although this method is a bit cruel, war itself is a cruel thing. The last general's suggestion was to drive the captives forward, first, as a meat shield, and secondly, to fill the ravine with their corpses. ”

The Mongolian people were already wild and bloodthirsty, and after listening to the altar, they immediately high-fived each other and said: "Good way!" ”

Qin Han didn't expect Ku Tu to agree without hesitation, and he began to wonder if he was too cold-blooded and cruel, how could he come up with such a cruel and inhumane tactic?

Perhaps, this is war.

Early the next morning, Kutula waved his army, with his captives in front of him as meat shields, and marched towards several of the ravines that followed.

And Wanyan Zongxian's reinforcements for help from Linhuang are still on the way, and there are only 20,000 soldiers and horses. Because of the shortage of soldiers across the country, there are no more soldiers. What's more, there is still Linhuang Mansion to defend in the rear.

The Jin captives were connected by ropes, and even if they were desperately eager to cross the border fort and return to the arms of the Jin Kingdom immediately, they could only follow one step at a time.

Seeing this situation, General Jin Junli on the opposite side asked Yan Zongxian: "Marshal, what do you want to do when the enemy forces urge our troops to surrender and move forward?" ”

Wanyan Zongxian showed his ingenuity at this time and said, "They want to fill the ravine with the body of the captive, so that their cavalry can pass smoothly. ”

General Li thought that the Mongolian army was at most driving the Jin army to surrender as a bargaining chip, but he didn't expect it to be used as a physical foundation. Wanyan Zongxian can explain the strategy of breaking the Mongolian army in one word, it is estimated that his heart is also so wild, right?

"Shameless!" General Li scolded, "Then what should we do? ”

"Whether the enemy does it, or we do it ourselves, these captives will die. However, if we take the initiative, we can control the fact that these captives will not die in the trenches, and their plot will not succeed! Wanyan Zongxian said hatefully, "Ordered the archers to prepare rockets and shoot the captives to death on the opposite side before they reached the ravine." Take advantage of the double insurance of the wall of fire and the ravine, and be sure to delay until the reinforcements arrive! ”

"Yes!" General Li was ruthless and left as ordered.

Wanyan Zongxian's hand trembled nervously involuntarily, and he asked Qin Hui what other tricks he had.

Qin Hui thought for a while and said, "On the basis of the marshal, Xia Guan thought of a way. Prepare a large amount of oil, and when the captives fill the trenches, throw the oil into them to increase the power of the fire. I think that's enough to burn him for half a day. ”

Wanyan Zongxian nodded imperceptibly, and thought silently in his heart, compatriots, don't blame me, your sacrifice is valuable.

The Jin soldiers approached the ravine with hope and longing, thinking that they would be their hometown when they climbed over, but who knew that they had already entered the Yellow Spring before they had even stepped forward.

The Jin soldiers on the opposite side don't treat them as compatriots, because if they come, more people will die, including themselves.

There are these good reasons, enough for them to shoot rockets into the bodies of their compatriots without hesitation.

General Li gave an order, and ten thousand arrows were fired in unison, and the burning arrows reflected the sky red.

The captives fell to the west of the ravine with rockets in their bodies, and it was better to die if they died, but if they were half dead and had to be roasted by the fire, it was really better to die.

Bursts of howls raged in the border fort. Burning, perhaps, can destroy their resentment.

He said: "Khan, what should I do if the captives fall down with rockets in their bodies before they enter the ravine?" ”

"Mobilize the cavalry, drive them out, hit them, and squeeze them into the ravine!" Kutu Ra ordered strictly.

There is fear in front and threat in the back, and the best way at this time must be the most direct and effective "collision".

The Mongols urged their horses, raised their iron hooves, and stomped the backs of the captives at the rear, who rushed forward like dominoes.

After a series of collisions, the captive finally fell into the ravine, because of the rope binding, it was difficult for the captive not to fall. Like a string of grasshoppers, it fell into the boiling oil pot with a hug.

"It's done!" Qin Han saw it on the high ground in the distance and said excitedly.

Kutura said: "Ready! ”

Before Kutura could give the order, he saw the Jin soldiers on the opposite side throw cans of oil at the captives in the ravines, and then as the rockets entered, all the trenches were ablaze.

The altar sighed: "The Jin army just shoots arrows at his compatriots, and also pours oil on fire!" ”

"It looks like we'll have to wait for the fire to go out." Kutu said regretfully.

"There's another way!" Qin Han said, "Now that the trenches have been filled with prisoners, if the fire continues to burn, the height of the corpses will slowly sink, so there is no delay." Xia Guan suggested that the sand and gravel should be wrapped in clothes, and the cavalry would take turns to scatter the sand and gravel into the sea of fire, which should be able to break the fire and open at least one passage! "The Eighth Library

Qin Han's suggestion was like a thunderclap on the ground, and he suddenly woke up.

Khutula ordered the soldiers to divide the work and work together, some to dig the sand and gravel, some to wrap the sand and gravel, and then give it to the cavalry, and the cavalry then carried the sand and gravel into the fire.

Half an hour later, through the concerted efforts of the Mongolian army, the fire was finally basically extinguished.

Before the Jin army could think of a countermeasure, the vast Mongolian army had already stepped on the ravine filled with corpses and entered the Jin army's position.

The Jin army had to rise up and resist to the death. Behind them, they can no longer be allowed to retreat. If you retreat, the enemy will threaten your parents, wives and children; If you retreat, you will also face the quick knives of the Warlords.

Wanyan Zongxian sent a team of supervisors, but there were those who retreated, and there was no forgiveness for killing.

"How long will it take for reinforcements to arrive?" Wanyan Zongxian roared and asked his subordinates.

"I'm afraid it'll be more than an hour." Xia Guan replied tremblingly.

After Yan Zongxian pulled out his sword and rushed out, Qin Hui hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Marshal, what are you going to do?" ”

"The commander must personally supervise the battle and boost morale!" Wanyan Zongxian shouted.

Qin Hui said: "Then I'll be with you." ”

Wanyan Zongxian nodded and said approvingly: "Don't flinch when you are in battle, it's good!" ”

As soon as Wanyan Zongxian went out, he saw the Mongolian army's iron cavalry chasing the Jin soldiers from a distance.

How has it come to this point, let alone an hour, half an hour can't hold on.

Qin Hui pulled Yan Zongxian and lowered his head so as not to be discovered by the enemy, and said: "Marshal, the border fort has fallen, and the top priority is not to be brave, but to retreat to Linhuang Mansion and regain his strength!" ”

Wanyan Zongxian pounded the earthen wall behind him hatefully: "Hey! This commander has no last resort, why is he so defeated? ”

"This is all because the enemy is too treacherous and shameless, and the marshal has no need to blame himself." Qin Hui comforted.

With more than 60,000 troops in Kutura, how could the less than 30,000 Jin soldiers resist? The Jin army resisted a little, and the morale gradually declined, and Yu Yong was indifferent, so he hugged his head and ran away, and even the supervision team took the lead in running.

However, Wanyan Zongxian's battle armor was too gorgeous, and he ran not far before he was discovered by Kutura, who came from behind.

Kutura shouted: "Don't run away from the people in front!" ”

Wanyan Zongxian secretly screamed badly, didn't dare to turn back, and galloped wildly.

Qin Hui fled with Wanyan Zongxian, and secretly scolded Ku Tu Lao behind him in his heart, what are you anxious about, Linhuang Mansion hasn't helped you take it yet, if Wanyan Zongxian and himself are caught at this time, how can this play be played in the future?

Ku Tu Ra didn't know what Qin Hui thought, the distance he saw was close, Hu Tu Ra stretched his bow and set up an arrow, and an arrow hit the butt of Yan Zongxian's mount, and the horse fell to the ground in pain, overturning Wan Yan Zongxian.

Wanyan Zongxian's eyes darkened, and he secretly said that his life would be over, and a strong hand stretched out next to him, grabbed his collar, and shouted: "Marshal, come up quickly, I can't pull it anymore!" ”

After Yan Zongxian saw it, it turned out that this life-saving benefactor was Qin Hui, and when he came back to his senses, he hurriedly climbed and jumped on Qin Hui's horse, and the two of them fled south on the same horse.

Kutu rat snorted a few more arrows, and Qin Hui's mount also landed, and immediately the two of them rolled to the ground one after another, and their faces were bloodied.

The soldiers around Ku Tu Ra threw out two lassoes and strangled Yan Zongxian and Qin Hui's necks respectively. In order to save their lives, the two had to pull the lasso with both hands to avoid strangulation, and ran hard behind the Mongolian soldiers' horses.

Wanyan Zongxian opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound, and he hoped that someone would save him, but the soldiers of his side were killed or injured, fled or surrendered, and no one cared about him.

Kutura defeated the Jin army in Linhuang Border Fort, and temporarily borrowed the Jin soldiers' territory to rest on the spot.

Kutura had the high-ranking generals of the Jin Army taken in for interrogation one after another to see what useful information could be obtained.

It was Qin Hui's turn to be escorted up, and he happened to hear that Ku Tu Ra had sentenced the previous Jin general to death. Qin Hui broke out in a cold sweat, praying in his heart that Hu Tu Ru would believe his words.

"Who is the prisoner?" Shouted the altar.

Qin Hui replied: "Qin Hui, the word will be known, the Han people, after the difficulty of Jingkang, he was arrested and sent to the Jin State, and later after hard work, he became a confidant of Wanyan Zongxian." ”

Hu Tu asked: "You are originally a Han Chinese, why do you not know etiquette, righteousness and shame, forget the hatred of the country and the family, and throw yourself into the enemy's account?" ”

"There is another secret in this, I am an important chess piece planted by Lord Yongguo in the Jin Kingdom!" Qin Hui really didn't hide it.

You have a strong desire to survive, and you dare to say anything, even under the banner of my Qu An.

Ku Tu Ra didn't believe Qin Hui's nonsense, and said: "Don't say anything, Ben Khan saw you save Wanyan Zongxian with his own eyes!" ”

"Wronged! I'm thinking about the situation of the war. Think about it, why did you easily defeat Yan Zongxian all the way east, and then capture the Linhuang Border Fort? It's all because I'm getting in the way! Qin Hui tried to argue.

If you can't say that you believe in yourself today, then I'm afraid you'll be finished, I've endured humiliation and burdens in the Jin Kingdom for so long, worked so hard to do so many things, and the full credit has not been exchanged for a little honor, so I died like this, it's hard to look at!

Seeing what he had said, he asked him what reason he had for him to believe it.

Qin Hui raised his eyes and looked around at the generals around Ku Tura, and suddenly saw Qin Han, he really saw a life-saving straw, he met his old acquaintance in a foreign country, not to mention that it could be a life-saving straw!
