Jiang Sheng, who was a scout of the Han army, now regretted the decision he made hastily. only wanted to save people with a heart of blood, but he didn't expect that together with them, he would become a prisoner of the Persians.

On such a battlefield, personal martial arts do not seem to be of much use in front of the iron-blooded cavalry of the brigade. The result of desperate resistance is only more cruel treatment.

A scout team of more than a dozen people was captured after all of them were wounded, and then imprisoned with the original Han prisoners. From night to dawn, endure cold and hunger, waiting for an unknown fate.

After dawn, Jiang Sheng, who had three wounds on his body, was picked up by the Persian warriors alone. A few fierce men escorted him for most of the hour, until he came to the door of a large tent. Then he met Nehgu, the former marshal of the Persian army.

Of course, Jiang Sheng didn't know this burly general. Along the way, he was very surprised. Since it has fallen into the hands of the enemy, life and death have long been put on the line. However, the close-up observation of the momentum and continuous scale of the Persian army still made him feel extremely heavy. If the two armies really clashed on the battlefield, although the young Han army commander absolutely believed that the Han army would win, it was inevitable that he would pay a huge price for casualties.

"Get on your knees! The marshal has something to ask you. ”

A Persian warrior scolded loudly, and although Jiang Sheng couldn't understand his "bird language", it was not expected to be a good word. He stared at the indifferent general with an expressionless face. A guide from the Western Regions next to him repeated it in Chinese. This time he heard clearly, but he remained motionless.

Enraged, the Persian struck the Han captive on the knee with his sheathed scimitar, and when he still refused to give in, he kicked him in the knee from behind. Jiang Sheng, whose arms were tied behind his back, couldn't resist, he threw himself face down in the dust, but he never knelt on his knees.

The Marshal of Persia frowned, and squinted at the few warriors punching and kicking the Han man he had brought in. After half a bang, he snorted, and the warriors stopped, all standing around with their hands crossed, staring at the thin captive.

Jiang Sheng's face was covered with blood and dust, and the pain on his body was unbearable. If he could choose again, he would rather die in battle last night than endure the humiliation of the enemy. It's just that he has no other way now. Just as he was about to struggle to get up, his eyes were dark, and a big foot wearing long combat boots stepped in front of him. A voice full of majesty came down from above, and it turned out to be Chinese.

"Young people, it's useless to be backbone-minded. On the battlefield, the only thing that works is victory or defeat! The victorious one, high above. And the result of defeat is just like you captives, just lost dogs! ”

Marshal Nehcourt looked contemptuously at the humble life struggling under his feet. Before the war, he was not interested in saying anything, and the reason why he temporarily asked his subordinates to escort a Han prisoner over was just to let him go into the city to pass on a word.

This pure-blooded Persian has a noble origin. Perhaps in the Persian royal court, Nehgu was the one who knew the Oriental world best. It was precisely because of this that he was able to gain the absolute trust of the king of Persia and serve as the vanguard marshal of the Eastern Route Army.

The life of this ordinary Han soldier in front of him, although it is not worth mentioning, but when he sees the unyielding look in his eyes, Marshal Persia

was slightly stunned. He suddenly remembered that although no one could stop the edge of the 100,000 army under his command, so far, it seems that there is no precedent for the surrender of the Han army except for those people from the Western Regions who have surrendered. Even though they were badly wounded, captured, and tortured, they still refused to give in. At the thought of this, this made him feel very unhappy in his heart.

"What is the success or failure of a single battle? Even if you succeed temporarily, don't get complacent too soon! Will you still be able to laugh when you invaders are wiped out and you can't return home? Hum! ”

Unexpectedly, in the face of the danger of being cut off at any time, the Han prisoners who struggled to stand up raised their heads arrogantly and looked unruly.

Nehgu waved his hand to stop the warriors who wanted to draw their swords and slash people. He roamed the battlefield and killed countless people. I have seen many warriors who are not afraid of death, but without exception, they all died at his hands. I didn't expect an ordinary Han soldier to have such courage. If he hadn't been asked to pass the word, he would have cut off the brave man's head with his own hands, and see how hard the bones in his neck were!

"You're in luck! Marshal Ben doesn't want to kill people now. In a moment, you enter the Jade Gate and tell the Han general who is defending the city that if he can open the city and surrender before noon today, he and his subordinates will be spared, and the king of Persia will be rewarded. If this time limit is exceeded, on the day the city is broken, all the chickens and dogs will be killed! ”

The surrounding Persian warriors also raised their scimitars together and shouted: "Siege!" Besiege...... Kill them all! Kill them all! ”

In the midst of the killing sound, the Han army scout named Jiang Sheng was a little strange, and he actually grinned.

"It's up to you to want to break through the Jade Gate Pass? Go for your spring and autumn dreams! If you dare to let me go back, when the city is fighting, I will definitely kill a few more to avenge the hatred of being captured today!" ”

Nehgu didn't look angry, he looked at this young man who was bent on death, and casually ordered the warrior beside him.

"Cut off this man's right arm and let him go! Hehe, I want to see how you can take revenge with a knife again. ”

The Persian warrior could not say anything, and with a swing of the scimitar, he cut off Jiang Sheng's right forearm in one fell swoop. Then he untied the rope and dragged him in the direction of Yumen Pass.

Blood was dripping and sprinkled among the yellow sand and withered grass. Jiang Sheng hugged the wound of his broken arm without saying a word, staggered back and roared at those expressionless enemies.

"But I can't die, one day, I will follow the army and kill again! Persians, I'll cut off your heads...... Memorized them all! ”

Nehgu shook his head dismissively. The threat of a small Han sergeant was of no use to him. His ambition was to command the 100,000 troops under his command to break through the border of the Han Dynasty, take Chang'an directly, and establish an immortal cause.

"Marshal, the army is ready, and they are all waiting for the order to attack the city. Why bother to delay your efforts? ”

Someone asked their marshal in bewilderment. In the eyes of these Persians, the courageous charge and the destruction of all obstacles encountered are their ultimate task and goal.

"If the army goes any further, it will really enter the territory of the Han Dynasty. The Han Chinese are different from the opponents we have met before. They can build it up in a hundred years

A strong dynasty must not be taken lightly! The victory or defeat of the Battle of Yumen Pass was crucial. I put people in it to deliberately let the people in the city know the current situation in the entire Western Regions. Nearly 30,000 elite Han troops suffered casualties, and the isolated city of Dunhuang was trapped...... These news will definitely shake the psychology of the defenders. Regardless of whether they send reinforcements to the rescue or not, their will will be troubled in the course of the battle. That's enough! Ha ha! ”

Nehgu was well versed in the psychology and tactics of the two armies, and looking around at the vast number of soldiers and horses, he believed that under his command, he would be able to conquer the Yumen Pass in the shortest possible time and open the western gate of the Han Dynasty.

However, the most outstanding marshal under the Persian king probably never dreamed that he would die at the hands of this Han army with only one arm left! If he had known that this would be the case, I believe he would not hesitate to break this person into pieces at this moment.

Before the jade gate, which had been tightly blocked, was closed, the soldiers defending the city used hanging baskets to pull up the scouts who had been soaked in blood. Due to a large amount of blood loss, Jiang Sheng's consciousness seemed to be in a trance. He felt a little strange, although the city was still covered with a tense atmosphere of stubbornness and strict defense, everyone's faces were extremely excited.

"General, general...... Dunhuang City is still holding on. The rest of the Western Regions has fallen...... Han army scout Shi Changjiangsheng...... Resurrection! ”

Jiang Sheng, who was strong enough to support himself for his last breath, finally completed his mission. He narrowed his eyes and let go of the severed arm he was clinging to, no longer afraid of the blood drying up on his body. As he lay down on his back at the foot of the city wall, the sun shone on his face and began to warm up. The cries of concern in the ears of the general and others gradually became a little blurred, and the cheers that rang out for unknown reasons in some parts of the city were unusually clear.

"Perhaps, that's what death tastes like......?"

It was the last thought left in his mind before he lost consciousness.

The Yumen guard and the rest of the city's soldiers bowed their heads sadly, and someone sorted out the tattered uniforms for him. He was stabbed three times, his arm was broken, his robe was bloodied, and he died without blinking his eyes.

A young figure without armor walked up at some point, he squatted down, tested Jiang Sheng's pulse with his hand, opened his eyelids and looked at it, and then commanded softly.

"And saved...... Carry him with me. ”

All the generals raised their heads in surprise, looking at the person who had just arrived at the Yumen Pass a moment ago covered in dust, the surprise and reverence in their eyes were irrepressible.

In the silent military salute all over the city, General Yumenguan personally lifted the wounded without saying a word and followed the figure. The other soldiers, on the other hand, did not need to be ordered at all, they were in place, and with great excitement, they were ready to meet the fierce battle that was coming. However, compared to the anxiety before, now everyone is full of confidence in victory.

Because, behind them, there is a huge figure to support. That world-famous figure has personally rushed to the forefront of Yumen Pass with strong support!
