In the face of the opponent's absolute superiority in strength, the three hundred warriors were completely unable to exert their so-called ability to take one as ten, but they kept arrows on all sides, and this cavalry team that Qu Manbao had high hopes for turned into a lamb bitten by wolves.

Qu Manbao's hands and feet were cold.

He suddenly realized an extremely serious problem.

This time I went to Tongguan, it can be said that I made a temporary decision, and last night, under the persuasion of Dao Sheng, I went out of the city early this morning.

When they left the city, few people knew that they were going to Tongguan, and these warriors only learned their destination halfway.

In this case, why did this army find its position so accurately and quietly complete the encirclement of itself?

Of course, Qu Manbao has now understood that the opponent's archery skills are good, and when the arrows are released, they are unified and coordinated, and the formation that is approaching and surrounding them from all sides cannot be done by ordinary bandits, this is obviously a well-trained army.

This army came prepared, and even he didn't know that he would be stationed here tonight, but why was the news of this army so accurate?

"Dao Sheng......!" In an instant, Qu Manbao already understood what was wrong.

It was under the persuasion of Dao Sheng that he would lead his troops out of the city, but he turned out to be surrounded by the enemy, and he had to suspect that this was a premeditated trap, and Dao Sheng must not be able to get out of it.

Qu Manbao was annoyed in his heart, but he wondered in his heart, even if Dao Sheng was involved, then where did this army come from? The main force of the Northwest Army has entered the customs, and the remaining 3,000 soldiers and horses are guarded in Xianyang, and there is absolutely no one else to mobilize in that army except Qu Yuangu and himself.

Most of the three hundred warriors were lost, Du Yandao was protected by Qu Manbao's side, and he was also hit by several arrows, he obviously did not expect to encounter such an ambush, in the face of the enemy who occupied an absolute advantage in strength, he knew that at this time, even if he fought hard, he would only hit the stone with an egg, and there was no hope at all to break out of the encirclement.

"Stop!" Qu Manbao suddenly reined in his horse and raised his arm, and the hundreds of people behind him suddenly stopped, and at this time, the other party also stopped firing arrows, and in the cold night, everything calmed down.

In the night, Qu Manbao saw several rows of soldiers appear from the front, the first row was all shield soldiers, one holding a shield, the other holding a broadsword, the shields were connected in a line, forming a copper wall and iron wall, and behind were two groups of pikemen, the tips of the spears were oblique and vertical, cold and solemn, and behind the shield soldiers and pikemen, they were the archers.

Qu Manbao was calm in his heart, knowing that even if he really broke through bravely, in the face of the enemy's formation, there was no possibility of rushing out at all, the other party took the shield soldiers first, the pikemen in the center, and the archers in the back, which was to prevent his side from rushing and killing.

"Yes..... It's a native of Chu! Du Yandao's eyes widened beside him, and he suddenly lost his voice and said, "Eldest prince, they are ..... Chu Jun! ”

Qu Manbao also reacted at this time.

The military uniform of the Han soldiers is naturally different from that of the Chu army, he was just shocked by the terrifying formation of the other party, at this time, Du Yandao reminded him, and immediately woke up, the opponent's armor and military uniform, is not the Chu army?

The Chu army appeared in the northwest land?

Qu Manbao only felt that his head was dazed, he once had the illusion that he was just in a dream, he would rather believe that there was a powerful army in the northwest that he never knew existed, than that the people of Chu would set foot in the northwest land.

In his consciousness, he had never worried about the threat of the Chu army.

After the establishment of the Chu and Han dynasties, they fought countless times on the Qinhuai line, but only the northwest side has never fought with the Chu people, although Bashu and the northwest are worried that the other party will kill each other one day, but they often don't care about it.

The Northwest Army is not the main force of the Han Army, and there is also no main army of the Chu Army in Bashu, so both sides do not believe that the other party can kill each other, and the Qinling Mountains are a common moat for both sides, and both sides feel that the enemy cannot cross over.

Qu Manbao's mind was blank, and Du Yandao and those warriors were also dumbfounded when they saw the enemy's origin clearly.

The embattled army was pressing forward step by step, as if the iron gates on all sides were slowly closing.

"I'm General Dahan Zhenxi..... The eldest son! At the moment of life and death, Qu Manbao finally shouted loudly: "Let your commander come out and speak." ”

The dense Chu army pressed Qu Manbao and other hundreds of people in a very small space from all sides, and the warriors looked around, really didn't know how many people there were on the other side, the shield was like a wall, and the spear was like a forest, everyone knew that under such a strong strength of the other party, it was impossible for their side to resist, and the Chu army was like a big hammer, as long as it was smashed down, it could be smashed like an egg.

A horse neighed sounded, and the Chu army made way in the formation, and a horse slowly walked out of the human army.

Qu Manbao saw that the other party had refined armor, and the war horse under his crotch was also pure white, which was extremely conspicuous in the military array, but the person was young immediately, and his heart was suddenly stunned, but when he saw that the person arrived in front of the battle, he stood on his horse and said with a smile: "I have heard the name of Qu Dagongzi for a long time, and when I see it today, it is indeed worthy of the name." ”

Qu Manbao was stunned, but he still couldn't help asking, "Do you know my name?" ”

"I heard that the eldest prince of Qu is as good as his life, and he is not happy without a woman, but he will not lead troops to fight." The young general sighed: "Originally, I thought that Qu Yuangu was a general who guarded the northwest and led the army into the customs, since you can throw the northwest to you to guard, you will not really be as rumored to be a wine bag and rice bag, but now it seems that you are even more unbearable than the rumors." He raised his hand and pointed at Qu Manbao, and said with a smile: "It's also the first time I've seen a general in front of the battle so embarrassed." ”

Qu Manbao couldn't help but lower his head, but saw that in his panic, the robe had already been opened, revealing his furry chest, and when the night breeze blew, the robe floated up, and the two fluffy thighs were also exposed.

There was a burst of laughter in the Chu army's array.

Qu Manbao was extremely embarrassed, and said sharply: "Who are you and why..... Why is it here? ”

"Chu State Qi Ning!" The man on the other side: "I heard that the scenery in the northwest is infinitely good, so I led my brothers to come to play, and unfortunately met the eldest prince Qu camped here, so I came to say hello and wanted to get to know the eldest prince!" ”

"Qi Ning?" Qu Manbao was shocked: "Could it be ..... Are you a member of the brocade family? ”

The young general on the opposite side was Qi Ning, and nodded with a smile: "It turns out that the eldest prince has also heard of the Jinyi Qi family, but he is very honored." ”

"You .....!" Qu Manbao's pupils contracted: "How did you cross the Qin Mountains?" How could you ......! "The more I think about it, the more unbelievable I feel, but Chu Jun is right in front of him, and it can't be achieved if I don't believe it.

Qi Ning smiled and said: "If I say that the Han army guarding the Qinling Pass took the initiative to surrender to us, you are only afraid and don't believe it, but now I have no interest in explaining this to you." Swept away the remnants of the hundreds of warriors, and sighed: "Master Qu, I see that these warriors should also be brave people, and it must have taken you a lot of effort to cultivate them, but now as long as I wave my hand, even you, everyone will die without a place to be buried, do you believe it or not?" ”

So far, how can Qu Manbao not believe it, his eyes are full of fire, but he doesn't dare to answer.

"Why don't you get off your horse and surrender?" On the opposite side, a Chu army shouted: "If you don't dismount and surrender, shoot immediately!" ”

Qu Manbao was shocked, saw Qi Ning's sharp eyes staring at him, hesitated, threw the war knife in his hand on the ground, turned over and dismounted, but wrapped his clothes first, and then walked forward in front of everyone, three or five steps away from Qi Ning, and stopped.

There was a dead silence all around, and everyone was staring at Qu Manbao.

Qu Manbao clenched his teeth, last night he was still drinking and having fun in the West General's Mansion in Xianyang Town, and he could control the life and death of others with a raise of his hand, but in just one day, his own life and death were between the raised hands of others.

He knew that he could be a good man, and he could refuse to ask Qi Ning to surrender, but in this way, he would inevitably die here, and he silently remembered in his heart that he was not afraid of no firewood, so he finally knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said: "I beg General Qi to spare my life!" ”

Qi Ning rode on his horse, looked condescendingly at Qu Manbao who was kneeling on the ground, and said with a smile: "The eldest prince of Qu is so sincere, how can I refuse?" You get up first and speak. ”

Qu Manbao was extremely embarrassed, but his life was at stake, he got up, and at this time he felt the chill of the night, clasped his hands, and looked up at Qi Ning.

"Eldest prince, since you surrendered in good faith, and I also accepted your begging, should you also help me do something?" Qi Ning said with a smile: "I will give you the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, if you can make meritorious contributions, I will show the emperor for your merits, the emperor attaches great importance to meritorious heroes, and he will definitely reward you when the time comes, what do you think?" ”

People are maggots, I am fish and meat, Qu Manbao said helplessly: "What does General Qi want me to do?" ”

"I know that the eldest prince is going to Tongguan, and he is going to change the guards of Tongguan." Qi Ning held the reins of the horse with one hand, crossed the other hand on his waist, and said with a smile: "Do things, you can't give up halfway, you have to do it well, I want to see the eldest prince complete this matter with my own eyes, maybe I can help a little." ”

Qu Manbao was not stupid after all, he instantly understood what Qi Ning meant, his face changed slightly, and then he realized something, and said in shock: "Xianyang.... Xianyang is not ...... Has it fallen into your hands? ”

When the Chu army entered the northwest, the first target was, of course, Xianyang, the heart of the northwest.
