Huo Guang slowly raised his head, looking at the clear blue of the sky, with a solemn expression.

Dismounted from his horse, arrows in his hands, and turned back to see a mighty 50,000 elite soldiers, and in front of him was an unpredictable battlefield on the endless yellow sand.

This is the second time to go out with Huo Quai, the first time there is only yearning and novelty, but at the moment his shoulders are full of responsibilities, to the soldiers behind him, to the emperor, to Huo Quai, and himself.

The only way to go.

......

"General, we can't support it, and we won't be able to support it for two more days if we continue like this."

Gongsun Ao took two steps back weakly, glancing at the map that had been thrown to the corner of the table, on which Huo Guang's handwriting could be vaguely seen. The time of the battle, the method of the battle, and the exact position where it should be attacked.

He picked up the map, unfolded it slowly, and let out a long sigh, if he could, how he wished that time could be repeated, then he wouldn't deliberately do the opposite, and let the army fall into this situation.

"General, what should we do, the Huns are too cunning, surround but not annihilate, suddenly attack us from all directions, our soldiers are exhausted, and there are countless casualties."

Gongsun Ao was full of remorse, and suddenly he stared at him, crumpled the map, and shook his head.

"Continue to break through, as long as you can rush out, you can wait for reinforcements from Chang'an, the emperor already knows our situation, and there will definitely be reinforcements to save us. The hussar generals will come. ”

Hearing these words, the adjutant general's eyes flashed with expectation, and he received the order to turn around and leave.

Looking at the deputy general who hurriedly walked out of the big tent after receiving the order, Gongsun Ao's originally frowning brows wrinkled even tighter. He didn't know if the messenger had made it to Chang'an alive, and he didn't know how many days it would take for reinforcements from Chang'an to arrive, or if no reinforcements would come at all. The reason why I said that was just to reassure the soldiers below.

Gongsun Ao let out a long sigh, and could do nothing but wait for him.

"Oh no, General, no."

Gongsun Ao's heart sank, his scalp was numb, what he listened to the most these days was not good, and then the next thing must be bad news.

"General, we failed to break through, and the Huns ...... all the captured soldiers."

"What's wrong, tell me quickly!" Gongsun Ao only felt a sound in his head, and the blood in his whole body surged upward, and the whole person was shaky. Raise your hand to your forehead, "Say it." ”

"The person who claimed to be the eldest prince of Hun Evil King County ordered that as long as it was the Han army that tried to storm out, once it was captured, it would be executed immediately, and our first batch of soldiers who broke through the siege, except for those who died in battle, were all captured, and the corpses and corpses were hung in front of the Huns' tents."

The only bit of strength that supported Gongsun Ao also completely collapsed, his feet were weak, and he almost fell, but fortunately, the deputy general was quick and held him up.

The deputy continued, "He also said that if you want to surround us here, we can live a few more days if we don't break through, and if you want to break through, the corpse in front of the tent will be the end." ”

Gongsun Ao's eyes were blank, his brain was blank, and he straightened up.

"General, what shall we do? Soldiers listen to you. Still breaking through? ”

A few hours ago, his strategy was to break through, but now, the lives of the soldiers are in his hands, and breaking through is death, he doesn't dare to break through, but he is waiting for death to stay here. Since they are all dead, it's just a matter of time.

"General, let's die here to defend and break through, since it's all death, let's fight with them."

Gongsun Ao's pupils tightened, and he gritted his teeth and squeezed out two words, "Break through!" ”

He steadied himself, straightened his spine, and walked out of the tent.

The soldiers of the Han army outside the tent have already been assembled.

Gongsun Ao's eyes flickered with a mist slightly, and the original vast and majestic army of elite soldiers was now less than 10,000 people.

But in their eyes, there is no fear, no confusion, no sorrow, only the courage to face death and the determination to fight the same enemy.

A familiar voice popped up in the crowd.

"General Gongsun, let's break through!" His shoulders were bandaged, and he had a deep wound on his cheek, and blood was pouring out.

"Yes, Breakout! We can't wait to die here! We don't want to be a turtle with a shrunken head, if we want to die, we must kill a few more Hun dogs, otherwise Lao Tzu will not be reconciled. ”

"Kill the Hun dogs and break through!"

Breakthrough!

Breakthrough......

For a while, a loud voice sounded in the camp, and the soldiers shouted to break through and waved their weapons.

Gongsun Ao gasped, and slowly spit out, "My Gongsun Ao is incompetent, and there is no way to lead everyone to annihilate the Huns' lair, so we have ended up in this situation, but we don't do bad seeds, and we will die on the way to kill the Huns." I have made up my mind to lead a team of men and horses to break through first, and if I die, I will be under the full command of Adjutant General Li. ”

Vice General Li hurriedly stopped, "No, absolutely not, how can General Gongsun be rashly exposed to the front of the battle, if you want to go, I will go." ”

"Vice General Li is right, if General Gongsun has three longs and two shorts, what should we do, General Gongsun is our last backbone."

Everyone is against Gongsun Ao leading troops to break through, their last hope is the reinforcements that Gongsun Ao applied for to Chang'an, and they are faintly looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements in their hearts, Gongsun Ao is their last hope, and they are all looking forward to the promise in his mouth.

......

The corners of Ta Yan's mouth were treacherous, holding a horse whip, pointing at the Han soldiers who had just been captured, and said, "Pull it down, cut it!" ”

"Hun dog, you don't have to die well, our reinforcements will arrive soon, and your death will definitely be uglier than ours when the time comes, Lao Tzu is on the Huangquan Road, wait for you for a while."

"Lao Tzu at least killed a bloody way for our Han army, not a bad seed, not in vain, come on, cut me!"

The camp temporarily built by the elite soldiers of Tayan was filled with the smell of blood, and the captives of the Han army were executed here one by one, and their bodies were hung on high places. The original yellow sandy ground has been stained red by blood, and it has merged into a small stream of blood in the low-lying area.

The soldiers of the Han army, who had just broken through and were captured, roared and laughed in the camp, without any fear in the face of impending death, they straightened their backs in front of Ta Yan, waiting for the big knife that was about to fall on their heads.

Yi Jixuan had endured it for a long time, shaking his head and sighing from time to time, standing beside Ta Yan, watching the Han prisoners of war being executed one by one.

"Great Prince, we can't kill anymore. We've killed enough prisoners of war. If it continues like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to the king. ”

Before Yi Jixuan's words were finished, Ta Yan squinted, "Explain? I'll give you an account now. The whip fell, only to hear a muffled sound, the skin on Yi Jixuan's shoulder exploded, and a red crack was made in an instant.

Yi Jixuan hugged his shoulders and continued, "The two armies are fighting, how can they torture and kill prisoners of war so much, it is inhumane. ”

Ta Yan's face, which was already full of anger, showed a hint of hideousness, and sneered, "Cruel? This prince will let you know what is really inhumane! ”
