On the edge of the river, a cavalry of the Han army with about 500 men and horses is riding horses upstream, they march with clear banners, neat military appearances, and look like a whole, forming a torrent of advance in red robes and black armor, as if it is an elite cavalry in the Han army.

"Hiss"

Looking at the rolling Han army, Yan Xing, Gan Ling, and Yan Shun, who had left the battlefield, took a breath of cold air, and at this time, they who came to spy were hiding on the edge of the adjacent hillside, worried that this sudden Han cavalry blocked their way.

Yan Xing and the others, who had hid in the reeds, finally stayed away from the battlefield behind them after trekking hard for more than half an hour. After soaking in the water for so long, the skin of the people and horses showed signs of redness and swelling, and the land of river reeds should not stay for a long time, so Yan Xing led everyone to step up and move towards the river bank again.

After venturing out of the reeds, although Yan Xing and the others who had to get out of the great disaster were weak, they were in the enemy territory at this time, completely lost the direction of the road, and the surrounding area was even more dangerous, and they couldn't stay in a certain place longer, so Yan Xing roughly judged that his men and horses were now wandering in the southeast direction of the battlefield, so he decided to continue to go south to avoid the Han army on the battlefield behind him.

Although everyone had already left the central battlefield, if they returned to Liangzhou by the same route at this time, it would be difficult to guarantee that they would hit the heads of the Han cavalry pursuing the route, so Yan Xing decided to go the opposite way, go south to find a shoal downstream to cross the water to avoid the Han army, find a place on the east bank to repair the men and horses, and then find an opportunity to return to Liangzhou.

At present, everyone is marching in the enemy territory, and the Han army may appear anytime and anywhere, so Yan Xing is naturally cautious. He sent elite men and horses to explore the road in front, and constantly hid his tracks along the way to prevent them from being discovered by the Han army. But just when the cavalry exploring the road in front found a shallow beach suitable for crossing the river downstream, the Han army, which Yan Xing had been worried about, appeared.

The Han army that fell from the sky did not appear behind them, but went north along the Huangshui River, and happened to meet Yan Xing and his party face to face. Yan Xing followed Gan Ling and the others who were sentry scouts and hid on the hillside and silently counted the men and horses, and the Han army had nearly five hundred people, all of whom were cavalry. It should be one of the Han army's rejections.

They clearly saw that these marching cavalry carried the banner of the Han army with the word "Dong".

Yan Xing couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart, how could the remnants of less than three hundred people behind them avoid these elite scouts of the Han army, there was no dense forest to hide here, and they couldn't beat the Han army head-on, and after fleeing backwards on their side, they would soon be caught up after a long journey, and then they would be driven into the carefully arranged encirclement of the Han army and annihilated in one fell swoop.

There are wolves in front and tigers in the back, and everyone is already in a dilemma.

Just when Yan Xing was at a loss, Yan Shun, who had been silent beside him, suddenly spoke:

"If you have a plan, you may be able to save most people!"

Yan Xing looked at Yan Shun in surprise when he heard this, and when he saw that Yan Shun's face was full of determination and tragedy at this time, he felt a sigh in his heart, and he immediately changed color and said anxiously:

"Brother, you-"

Seeing Yan Xing's concerned and anxious eyes, Yan Shun smiled and said:

"That's right, what I'm talking about is the 'broken tail to survive' strategy, at the moment, if we want to survive, we can only use a few men and horses to make a big show to divert the enemy in front of us, and the rest of the men and horses rush to the shallows downstream to cross the opposite shore at full speed, so as to save the lives of most people!"

Speaking of this, Yan Shun paused for a moment before speaking again, and said in a categorical tone:

"Shun Bucai, I am willing to lead a few men and horses to lead away the frontal enemy and earn a chance for everyone!"

"No, brother, you-"

After listening to Yan Shun's words, Yan Xing immediately refused, but after meeting Yan Shun's enthusiastic eyes, he choked up and couldn't speak. Since ancient times, blood is thicker than water, and relatives are interdependent, and they are all in troubled times. Although Yan Shun was unwilling to lose one of his subordinates for Zhao Hongyi's outsiders, it also caused Yan Xing's anger. But when he faced the life and death of his family, he still stood up with righteousness and awe, willing to give up his own life, but also in exchange for the survival of most of the clansmen and tribes present.

Yan Xing was speechless later because he found it difficult to refuse Yan Shun's suggestion, although he knew that by doing so, Yan Shun and the person who led the enemy would inevitably die. But in this time of imminent crisis, this may be the only way for yourself and most people to survive.

Yan Xing lowered his head and was silent for a moment, silently forcing back the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes, at this critical moment of life and death, he could no longer hesitate, he had to make a decision immediately. At present, the lives of the clansmen and nearly 300 people in the tribe are all tied to themselves, and if he has the slightest hesitation and weakness at this moment, he is ruining everyone's lives in vain.

So when he raised his head again, his face was also resolute, he endured the grief in his heart, and bowed to Yan Shun and said:

"Brother is righteous and protects his people. Please take care of this trip, and you must do your best to bring your clansmen back to Liangzhou! ”

Those who choose to leave have a mission, and those who stay have the same responsibility.

Yan Shun smiled, this Liangzhou man who had been working hard in the army, patted Yan Xing's shoulder for the first time and said:

"The ability of a virtuous brother is already known to my brother. You are the thousand-mile horse of my Yan family, and I hope to take care of it, and everything will be entrusted to you! ”

Yan Xinghu's eyes were full of tears, and he choked up as promised.

Of course, he knew that this was Yan Shun's last words of support, and the two of them bowed to each other for a long time at the moment, and everyone present was also confused. After Han Bei decided to make a strategy of "breaking the tail to survive", Yan Xing and the others no longer hesitated, and on the spot, they divided more than 50 wounded and disabled soldiers and handed them over to Yan Shun to lead away the enemy in person, and Yan Xing took the rest of the people to lurk and wait, as long as the strategy of diverting the enemy was successful, he would take the rest of the people to immediately rush downstream to find a beach and rush to the crossing.

The person who was separated also knew that he had become a bait to lure the enemy, and his face was sad, and when he saw Yan Shun stand up, they all looked at Yan Shun who was taking the lead, and Yan Shun, who was already determined to die, looked at everyone and said generously:

"Gentlemen, the great husband lives in the world, and he does not evade responsibility, and he does not evade righteousness. In today's affairs, people's hearts and selfish people will be destroyed, and people may be able to live if they sacrifice their lives for righteousness. The kings and others are all disabled today, fleeing from the enemy, and it is inevitable that they will die, rather than sit and wait to die, if they save others, so they are willing to go to this difficulty with the kings as the pioneers of all people. The old and young in the family do not have to worry, and the survivors should wholeheartedly raise the orphans and the elderly, so as to repay the grace of today's life! ”

After saying that, more than 50 people separated by Yan Shun Chao fell to the ground, and after listening to Yan Shun's words, those people suddenly felt tragic feelings in their hearts, and they also shook Yan Shun to the end one after another, and said emotionally:

"Yan Jun Gaoyi, I am willing to die with you!"
