Qianzhai was also killing at this time, and countless Xiliang troops rushed madly from the darkness. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info In a crooked narrow valley, it wanders far until the Great Valley Passes.

Zhou Ge saw Han Yi coming back, and asked anxiously: "Lord, how is the back village?" ”

Han Yi wiped a handful of black ash and said, "There are a large number of Xiliang troops in the rear, it should be ...... No, it was the Xiliang army on the front line of Xingyang and Bishui Pass who came over the mountains and mountains. When it came from Jingxian, it broke through the defenders of our Yangcheng and Lun clan, and attacked the rear of our army. I have set fire to the Chinese army to temporarily stop the enemy. Zhou Ge, quickly led the troops and ambushed the soldiers to break the enemy in front of him first, and then returned to break the enemy behind him. ”

The people of Yangcheng and Lunshi fled early, and most of Han Yi's army pressed on the three passes of Xuanyuan, Taigu, and Yique, leaving only some lightly and seriously injured soldiers in the city to temporarily guard the city and grain and grass, how could they resist the wolf-like Xiliang army.

It's just that the Xiliang Army on the front line of Xingyang and Bishui Pass is Xu Rong's part of the Eastern Front against the coalition army of the sour jujube princes, and the hundreds of thousands of coalition troops can't stand 40,000 or 50,000 horses, which is really a waste. The defeat in this battle was obvious, although Han Yi did not expect that the coalition forces would not be able to look down on a mere Xu Rong, but he couldn't help but admire Xu Rong's boldness.

Zhou Ge shouted: "Please also ask the lord to get on the horse and personally lead the troops, Zhou Ge is willing to lead a thousand people to block the enemy behind him." ”

Mu Shun pushed Zhou Ge away and shouted: "Captain Zhou is the general who leads the troops, it is important to attack the enemy, and I Mu Shun should take care of the matter of blocking the enemy." Go now, go now. As he spoke, he led a thousand men and horses to rush backwards, preparing to set fire to the front village to intercept the enemy.

Looking at Mu Shun's firm back, Han Yi gritted his teeth and led 5,000 people from Zhou Ge's department to kill the Xiliang army in front of the village. The left and right ambushes also rose from the deep valley stream in due course, and ten thousand crossbows were fired in unison. Coupled with the counter-assault of Zhou Ge's first department, Hu Zhen's first department, who came to attack at night, was taken by surprise and suffered heavy casualties.

Hu Zhen didn't know if the fire in the back village of Han Yi's camp was set by Xu Rongbu, who came to help, and was attacked by Han Yi's 20,000 ambush soldiers in advance.

Han Yi breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and after Gao Ran and Xue Lan broke off, he returned to fight against Xu Rongjun from the three generals of Wen Chou, Zhou Ge, and Li Feng, but unexpectedly saw Mu Shun being cut off by a general. Han Yi saw a great pain in his heart, and urgently ordered the Wenchou Department to be the front army and counterattack Xu Rongjun.

Xu Rongjun touched about 10,000 people, if it weren't for Hu Zhen's actions to remind Han Yi early, I am afraid that tonight will be the end of the entire army. Now that Han Yi's army is on guard, and he has temporarily repelled Hu Zhen's army, and its morale is still good. Under the layers of attacks, it was also comparable to Xu Rongjun's attack in the burned camp. It's just that the road is tortuous, the rock wall is prominent, and Han Yi's army has thousands of strong crossbows, but it is useless.

It's just that when Hu Zhen found out that it was indeed Xu Rongjun who came to help, he summoned the defeated soldiers of all departments, regained morale, and attacked the pass again. Gao Ran and Xue Lan struggled to intercept the Xiliang Army, which was twice as large as the army, and it was quite difficult.

Fortunately, the terrain of the Great Valley Pass was not suitable for the deployment of the army, and there were only about a few hundred people who could face the enemy directly, and the two sides could only fight bravely in the narrow valley. Xu Rongjun blocked the retreat of Han Yi's army again, making Han Yi's army unable to move at all.

Daguguan is more than 30 miles deep, on both sides of the deep valley, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, the stream is murmuring, the peaks are cut up, and the shrubs are thick. A total of more than 60,000 men and horses on both sides fought vigorously in this small area in front of the Great Valley Pass. The Xiliang Army attacked fiercely, and even the soldiers and horses of the North and South Second Army, which had always been weak, were very brave at this time, and they had a bit of the style of the Xiliang Army.

Han Yi's army was surrounded in the middle and resisted hard, but fortunately, Han Yi's army was still elite after training in recent years. The people of Yuzhou have always been quite resilient, as long as Han Yi, the coach, is not chaotic, more than 20,000 people can support it for a while.

It's just that the squeeze of the Xiliang Army on Han Yijun is getting stronger and stronger, and the scope left for Han Yijun to move left and right in the middle is getting smaller and smaller. The Breakout Army and the Broken Rear Army have been merged, and it is impossible to tell who is who.

When the war reached dawn, the decline of Han Yi's army was fully revealed. All parts of the song fought more than three times, and the casualties also exceeded 30%. After all, the Xiliang army was almost 40,000 troops before and after, while Han Yi's army only had 24,000 men. And it's still sandwiched in the middle of the narrow valley, and the two ends are consuming.

Wen Chou and Gao Ran found Han Yi and bowed: "My lord, you might as well ride the golden-winged black eagle out of the valley first, and dispatch Yang Zhai's Chengqi Department and Yique's Chejing Department to help." With the two of us here, it's no problem to support for another day or two. ”

Among the eagles raised by Wang Yang, there is a huge black eagle species, which can carry more than 100 catties of people to a hundred miles away. Wang Yang once gave Han Yi a pair, Han Yi has always ordered people to be kept as pet eagle eagles, and there is a sentry to spy on the enemy when he is in the north. But in the densely populated places of the Central Plains, I am afraid of being hunted by others, so it is useless to keep it. At this time, the situation was urgent, and the second general mentioned this thing.

Han Yi shook his head and said: "You two are talking lightly, the back village was destroyed first, the grain and grass have already been burned, and there is no food, how can you have the strength to kill the enemy?" If I, the general, are gone, the spirit of the army will be lost, and in less than an hour the whole army of 20,000 will be destroyed. Although you two have good intentions, I can't abandon you as an only child. ”

Wen Chou shouted: "In Wuhuan Mountain, we used to eat horse meat, and we guarded it for more than half a year. Although there is no grain and grass here, there are many horses, and if you kill the horses and eat them, you will not be able to hold on for a day or two. ”

Gao Ran also said: "Where the lord is, I can say that the lord broke the siege in the front army, and Wen Chou can also say that the lord is in the rear army." The generals are loyal people, as long as the soldiers don't know, so what's the matter. ”

Han Yi just didn't listen, since the battle for several years, he has always won a big victory, and he has never been so critical as this time. Moreover, Han Yi is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, if he abandons the generals this time and escapes by himself, if the generals are defeated and captured or killed because of it, Han Yi is afraid that he will no longer have the heart to defeat the enemy in the future. In the end, he could only let a thin guard ride the eagle to Yangzhai to rescue.

At dawn, the Xiliang army finally retreated a little. After a night of fighting, the enemy and our armies were hungry and began their breakfast. Han Yijun had no firewood, no grain and grass, and after slaughtering more than 100 war horses, each of them got two or three catties of raw horse meat. The sergeants looked at the bloody raw horse meat in front of them for a while and felt sick and sick to their stomachs, but they were hungry and wanted to throw it away but were reluctant.

Han Yi also knew the psychology of the army, so he ordered Wen Chou, Gao Ran and others to set an example with the Southern Huns and all the sergeants.

Han Yi held the horse meat in his hand and said: "When I waited for my ancestors, I didn't know what cooked food was, or people who drank blood and hair. Later, he was civilized, but he forgot the suffering of his ancestors, and regarded the horse meat in his hands as a disgusting thing, and disdained it. But I didn't know that a few years ago, after the flood and drought in the Central Plains, some people even ate the carrion of the dead when they had no food to eat. Why do you suffer so much from raw horse meat when you are hungry? ”

A soldier laughed and said, "My lord, that is because they have not been hungry, if they have been hungry for several days, more than ten days, I am afraid that even the carrion on the dead will be scraped off and eaten." As he spoke, he began to munch on the horse meat in his hand.

The person next to him looked disgusted and muttered, "As long as you can, have you ever eaten human flesh?" ”

The soldier paused his hands, gritted his teeth and said, "To be honest, I've eaten it." ”

When the sergeants heard this, they all looked at him in disbelief. Legend has it that when someone ate human flesh, his eyes would turn red, and then he would want to bite when he saw human flesh. As long as you look closely, you will know who is the thief. There were also man-eating thieves in Runan, but in the days that followed, they died of disease or madness. Some say it's the revenge of the soul of the eaten. The soldier was normal on weekdays, but he didn't want to think that he had eaten human flesh.

Han Yi remembered that his name was Wang Zhong, and he was a warrior who was cast when he was recruiting sages in Runan. Although the martial arts are not very strong, they are not weak, so they were appointed as military candidates. I don't want to talk about ability, but this heart of worrying about the Lord, Han Yi agrees.

Han Yi said: "Eating human flesh is actually not a big deal, the Xianbei people, Huns and Wuhuan people in the north will also eat human flesh when there is a famine. However, that was often the time for large-scale invasions of the Han land. And when my Han people ate human flesh, it was a time when the world was in complete chaos. For example, at the end of the Qin Dynasty and the end of the former Han Dynasty, there were times when people were eaten. In other words, it is the fault of our officials to let the people have no food to eat, and to eat human flesh. With me Han Yi in Runan, I will not let the people eat human flesh. If you eat human flesh, you must eat my flesh first. ”

After hearing this, all the sergeants immediately had respect, and it was rare to be able to hear such words in the mouth of a high-ranking official like Han Yi.

Han Yi said: "But that's for the people. As soldiers, we are very different from the common people. As soldiers, we will encounter all kinds of hardships and hardships. There will be death, there will be disability, there will be hunger, there will be loneliness, there will be bitter cold, there will be extreme heat, there will be despair, and there will be countless hardships and hardships in front of us. As long as we support it, we can achieve the final success. But if we can't hold on, we can only fail. ”

Saying that, Han Yi told the sergeants about the predicament in Wuhuan Mountain, and said: "At that time, Hu Lu was ten times larger than me, and he besieged me in the way of blood revenge, but why was our army able to hold on in the end, but Hu Lu couldn't? Because our army wants to save lives, but Hu Lu wants to take revenge. The idea of saving life is always there, and hardship is no longer hardship. Hu Lu wanted revenge, and when revenge was difficult, he naturally thought of scattering. But in the end, I was killed by the opportunity. ”

"Since then, I have believed that the reason why a person can finally succeed is because of his faith and willpower. I am now an auxiliary general, a Taishou of Runan, and a Marquis of Zhaoling, all because of the faith and willpower generated in Wuhuan Mountain. Now even I, the manager, are willing to eat raw horse meat, don't you dare? ”

"Thank you for the reminder, the villain wants to be like the lord in the future. It's just eating raw horse meat, what's so hard about that? The villain will eat it for the lord to see. As he spoke, a thin young soldier munched on the horse's meat.

All the sergeants also shouted: "Thank you for the advice, the villain is willing to follow the example of the lord......"
