When the night covered the earth again, the fire was still unextinguished, and the scenery from near and far was still clearly visible.

The Red Fire Army cleared a clearing and rested here for a while. They decide where to go next. Despite their victory in the Great War, they still lacked food. Not much supply from the Huns could not last two days.

However, in the course of these two days, they may face a real big battle.

On the battlefield where the two armies fought, there are people in this world who are born to be the material of famous generals. Not only are they brave and invincible in commanding armies, but they also have a keen perspective and can see what people don't know and what people don't see.

The scouts sent out were the latest to report back the full situation of the Huns. Although all the men and horses brought by King Hutu have been wiped out, the Evil King with more troops has been completely outflanked from behind. Perhaps, the fierce battle will take place tomorrow when the sun comes out.

According to the information obtained, it can be roughly inferred that the enemy that the Red Fire Army will face this time will have more than ten times the strength of their troops, and the situation is very grim and urgent.

More than a dozen people above the rank of lieutenant colonel had already discussed the current situation in the makeshift tents. The joy that followed the victory gradually receded. What comes to everyone's mind is a kind of heaviness.

The Huns have cut off all their back routes, not to mention that they have cut off the supply of grain and grass to the rear army before, and in the current situation, even if they want to transport, it is simply impossible.

"The Huns came too quickly, and there should still be grain and grass stocks in the Xiqiang King City, but we didn't have time to bring it out in order to fight against the enemy...... Alas! It's useless to say that now. ”

Zhang Qian shook his head, no matter how brave and good the soldiers are, if they can't eat enough, it will be difficult to win the battle. And...... He groaned for a moment, then continued.

"Taking stock of the surplus food in the army, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold out three or two meals, but fortunately I got a little from the Huns. In this battle of Xiqiang Wangcheng, although our army won, the soldiers also had some casualties. And the most important point is that there is a serious shortage of armaments, and in these few battles, the nine-armed chain crossbow arrows carried by the army have been almost used. The swords used by the cavalry were also badly damaged...... These situations are extremely unfavorable to the next battle. ”

Zhang Qian, as a Sima in the army, knows these things best. Listening to him at this moment, the situation is indeed very serious. Everyone looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

"It is said that the Evil King and the King of Hutu have a deep friendship, and the situation between the two tribes is no different from that of the other. After King Hutu ran to him, he believed that the next attack of the Huns would be a situation in which we would not die. There is no doubt about the brutality of the upcoming battle. No one is afraid of death. But if the conditions are not equal, let the blood of all the people in the army be wasted...... Hussar general, should we need to avoid it for a while? ”

General Zuo Li Wang seriously expressed his considerations. He was also wounded in this fight. What he said was the truth, it wasn't that he was afraid of war, he just didn't want to make unnecessary sacrifices. There are a few people who think the same way as him.

And the right general Zhang Ji disagreed, he was young and straightforward, with a natural heroism. The successive victories made it impossible for the proud heart to turn away from such words.

"The Huns are coming, and they are fighting! So many of King Hugh's armies have been wiped out by us, what is the evil king? Don't look at the Hun cavalry for a long time, in fact, when it really fights, that's what it is. Our Red Fire Army wants to become the strongest army in the world, and if we retreat when we encounter this little difficulty, how can we do it! Didn't Yuanhou say a word to us in the past, have you all forgotten?"

Although Zhang Ji and Li Wang have been partners for several years, at such a time, he speaks mercilessly. This is the critical moment that determines whether the whole army will fight or leave, and no matter who is in the army, what is in their hearts must be said. This is also a good habit that the Red Fire Army has developed from the beginning.

"Zhang Ji, I don't mean to back down! It's just to avoid its sharpness for the time being and find the right time to fight again. You...... Hum! ”

Li Wangqi snorted. Zhang Ji craned his neck and was about to argue with him again. Zhang Qian hurriedly played a round, he glanced at the young commander of the Red Fire Army who was sitting there carefully wiping his sword, and then looked at the dozen lieutenant colonels and lieutenants surrounding him. Then he turned his head and stared at Zhang Ji and asked.

"General Zhang, you just mentioned Changle Hou, what did he say? Could it be useful for the situation we are currently facing? ”

Huo Quzhi, who had not spoken, finally raised his head, and the red fire sword in his hand flashed with a bewitching cold light. I saw that the right general Zhang Ji straightened his chest, clenched his fists, and showed a slightly excited look on his face, and only said a few short words.

"When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins! That's it. ”

No matter in the past or in the future, no matter what kind of difficulties and predicaments, the spirit of the Han Red Fire Army is unchanged, everything is in it, that's all!

All the lieutenants and several generals were shocked at the same time, and although some of them still had hesitation on their faces, their hearts were already surging with impassionedness.

"Good! If you want to fight, you can fight. The purpose of our westward expedition was originally to completely drive out the Huns entrenched in this area. Since they have taken the initiative to come to the front, what are we waiting for? ”

Huo Quzhi put away his sword, stood up, and said his decision out loud. Zhang Qian looked at the radiant expression under the big red cloak, and when he wanted to express his doubts again, he saw that this disciple of Changle Hou Yuanzhao had already taken the lead in walking outside, and said a word as he walked.

"If anyone has any questions, then let's go and listen to the opinions of all the soldiers and soldiers together!"

Half an hour later, all the assembled soldiers of the Red Fire Army heard the choice asked by their main general. The Hun army is coming, is it a war? Is it to go?

This is the Western Regions, thousands of miles away from Chang'an, where there is no prosperity and peace, let alone a familiar homeland and a familiar language. All of them have fought all the way here, what have they done? It's just loyalty and faith in the heart! Now that we've come to this, there's no need to worry about it!

"I'm willing to fight!"

"I'm willing to fight! …… I do...... We are all willing to fight! ”

"No matter how many Huns come, let them have no ...... to come back!"

I don't know who shouted the first sound first. Then a succession of generous voices began to sound. The wilderness is vast, and the smell of fireworks wafts in the wind, as if the heroic souls who have just died are also whispering to each other. The sharp spirit gathered by all the soldiers covers the clouds and the moon, abundant and immense, unstoppable!

"Come on, bring all the wine we brought all the way here."

Facing the momentum of the whole army, Huo Quzhi's heart was actually more excited than anyone else. But when she remembered the ways of the generals taught by Master Yuan Zhao in the days before, she calmed down. Now that morale is available, make them invincible.

Ten altars of Chang'an spring brewing, followed the army along the way. Everyone knows it's a good wine, but no one takes a sip lightly. But now there are only nine altars left, and that altar has already paid tribute to the sacrificed Zhao Ponu and his three thousand warriors.

There is not much wine in the nine jars, and the six or seven thousand people in the whole army are not enough to drink a sip each. But they are the Red Fire Army, and their generosity is enough to laugh at the clouds.

With heaven and earth as the feast and the pot and kettle as the wine vessel, the wine is not enough, and it is not bad to mix it with sweet spring water. Although it may not be able to drink it drippingly, tonight's booze will become a lifelong memory for everyone who is fortunate enough to participate.

After the mud seal was lifted with the red wine, it exuded a rich aroma, and the cooing liquor was poured into the marching cauldron, and each of the Red Fire cavalry took off their helmets, scooped up the wine and drank with each other, talking and laughing loudly.

At this moment, there is no distinction between generals and non-commissioned soldiers, they are all warriors. Tomorrow, side by side to kill the enemy, maybe life and death are unknown. Let's have a drink tonight!

After Huo Quzhi scooped up the wine with his helmet, she only took a small sip, she has never been good at drinking, but this is the master's favorite wine, so she naturally wants to drink it. In the mouth, I don't know what it tastes like. The rest was fed to Ryoma.

"Actually, I don't know if I can win the next big battle...... I'm afraid it's hard, right? However, I have drunk your favorite wine after all...... Even if you die on the battlefield, I just hope that you will hear the news...... I will be able to remember it in the future. I don't expect you to remember it for a lifetime, as long as you remember it for a few years...... So Master, how long will you remember Xiaoice? ”

In the voices of the soldiers encouraging each other, no one knew what was going on in their general's mind at the moment. Only the wind swept through the wilderness, the horses neighed, the iron armor was cold, and the intermittent melancholy and tenderness reoccupied the heart of the sunny girl.

The eagle that had been following him was finally released, and it flew into the blue sky and flapped its wings to the east. Perhaps, his last thoughts, he will receive in Chang'an, right?

It's just that she doesn't know that the people who are infinitely missed in her heart are actually not far away at this moment. He did not enjoy the cave room in Chang'an, but personally led the 6,000 Han cavalry to the Western Regions as quickly as possible. And at the first time, I got the situation of all parties and the latest battle report.

"I didn't expect it...... It's the first time for the general's Huo Qu to be so sick! Sure enough, it's worthy of your femdom. ”

After hearing the great victory of the Red Fire Army burning the Xiqiang White Horse Tengjia Army and the slaughter of the Xiu Tu Wang Department in the Xiqiang King City, even Li Kang, who was always conceited, was sincerely admired. After only one battle, he is already a famous general.

Yuan Zhao smiled and said nothing. Only he knew in his heart that even if he didn't appear, Huo Qubing would rise on the battlefield in the Western Regions with the same amazing attitude.

"The situation of the Red Fire Army...... I'm afraid it's a little tough. Yuan Zhao looked at the junction of clouds and sky and said softly.
