In the northernmost wilderness, the Gobi, where the wind blows and blows, the Gobi and the desert are the most common in the north, except for the grasslands, where nothing can survive except hungry wolves and drought-tolerant plants.

With the sound of a whining horn, the earth began to tremble, and in the distance, like a hurricane, cavalry swept across the land, and even the wolves, which had always been fierce, were terrified.

The cavalry rolled like a torrent towards the Yanmen Pass in the distance.

After the Yanmen Gate was closed, the city gate had been opened, and thousands of black flags were erected in front of them, unfolding a black sea on the barren color, and the masked flag on the shoulder of a knight led by him was particularly conspicuous.

"It's General Meng, General Meng is back, open the city gate quickly."

Compared to Fusu Meng Tian was always the center of these Qin armies, it can be said that this army was born from Meng Tian.

The knight reined in the horse, thousands of cavalry under Meng Tian's order to stop at the Yanmen Pass, the smoke and dust scattered around, their armor was stained with a lot of blood, on the saddle of many Hu heads hung scattered on it, many Qin troops behind more were the corpses of their companions, and the black cavalry began to enter the city in silence and order.

"Where's Childe? I want to see Childe. ”

Meng Tian put the helmet in his hand aside, and the red cloak was blood-red.

"I wish the general a triumphant return this time."

Fusu personally helped Meng Tian up, but noticed the loss in Meng Tian's eyes.

"What's going on?"

"It's a crushing victory, this time the Hu cavalry is different."

Victory is of course a good thing, but Meng Tian is more vigilant, the Hu clan he met this time is very different from before, and it feels more like fighting with the cavalry of the Six Kingdoms.

Born in the grassland, born to fight for survival, the annexation of the tribes is even more cruel than the battle of the princes of the Central Plains, they are born scattered, but they are the best riders and marksmen, their single cavalry is obviously higher than the Central Plains countries, it is precisely because of the scatteredness of the Hu people, often when attacking, only can barely maintain the most basic formation, but to put it bluntly, it is their own battle, if it is not for the powerful Touman, it is impossible to talk about the formation for their respective spoils of cannibalism.

But this time Meng Tian encountered the Hu cavalry was completely different, they knew the formation, and even used the war drums and banners of the Central Plains, it was this that caused great difficulties to Meng Tian, that is, even he wanted to see the manipulator behind this, he had seen Touman, and the person was definitely not Touman, only in this way he was more vigilant.

Fusu looked at Meng Tian and sighed.

"Where's General Zhang?"

Meng Tian looked around and didn't see Zhang Han's figure, in the entire northern defense line, since Zhang Han came here, he has become the right-hand man that Fusu relies on the most.

"In the past few days when the general left, too many things have happened in Dongjun, and General Zhang led 10,000 cavalry to the rescue."

"What?"

Meng Tian stood up abruptly, looking at the huge marching map on the wall, when he left, the Chu army only occupied a very small part of the northern part of the Yan Kingdom, and there were still several counties between the north and the eastern county, could it be that the rebel army was so strong that these counties had all been captured.

Fusu nodded.

"The latest Chu army has arrived in Hebei County, and the leader is Xiang Yan."

It was Zhang Han who came in, the corners of his eyes revealed tiredness, and although he didn't have much information, he confirmed the guesses of the two.

Xiang Yan.

Meng Tian muttered, in addition to the killing of Changping Jun in the battle of Chu that year, the Xiang family still left a lot of legacy, Xiang Yan was originally one of the top two in the Chu army, and Xiang Yu was not in the limelight in the Chu army, Xiang Yan was a veteran and a fierce opponent of the Qin army.

Zhang Han is one of the three major generals of the empire, it is precisely because of this that he did not venture in, Dongjun is thousands of miles away from this and is all the territory of the Chu army, but will be mired in the quagmire.

Meng Tian's 300,000 most elite legions of the empire have been firmly locked on the front line of the Great Wall, no matter which side is attacked, the other side can launch a deadly attack to capture the line of Yanmen Pass.

"Now I can only look at Chu Nan's own."

It was already the fifth day of the siege, and in the past few days, the Chu army had been attacking non-stop every day, and the tired response of Chu Nan was that in the end, the garrison in the city had already been exhausted, and even the arrows had to take advantage of the darkness of the Chu army to secretly go outside the city to pick up, and paid a lot of lives for it.

The Chu army was also tired, but it was much better than the Qin army, and the daily siege troops were different, and they were finally repaired.

The walls of the eastern county have long been unrecognizable, and there are bloodstained red walls everywhere, and the flames of burning corpses in the county town have never been broken, and if these corpses are not disposed of, there is the greatest possibility of causing a plague, so cremation is the safest way.

In the tent temporarily set up in the county town, the corners of Chu Nan's eyes were deeply sunken, and he hadn't closed his eyes for a long time, and the map of Dongjun made of cowhide on the desk had been wrinkled, and many places were blurry and couldn't see clearly.

He put the oil lamp in his hand aside again, but he still couldn't find a way to repel the Chu army.

Shi Lan walked behind him silently, combed Chu Nan's messy hair bun again, and put on his armor well.

"You are the general of the entire East County, what can you do if you give up on them?"

"Am I useless." Chu Nan said suddenly, "I originally thought that I could make Dongjun rich, but it only brought disaster to them, I might as well slaughter them in vain, surrender to the Chu army, at least get a way to live." ”

"At least they won dignity and surrendered to the Chu army to be slaves?"

Chu Nan didn't speak again, "I will lead my subordinates to open a path for you, you and a few teachers, as well as Su Yan and the others, take advantage of this time to retreat!" I'll do my best to stall for time. ”

Shi Lan didn't let him continue.

"Let's get married!"

The words stopped, and Shi Lan hugged Chu Nan behind her, tears already wetting her face.

"We're married!"

Chu Nan's whole body stiffened at this time, and it took a long time for him to say, "Okay." ”
