A corpse of Qin Jun was placed on top of the pyre.

The rushing river roared, and seemed to sing an elegy to the heroic spirits that were not yet far away. The wind hunts, and the fluttering of the flag.

"Do you say that you have no clothes, and you are with the Son? Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son!

How can it be said that there is no clothes, and he is the same as the son? Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd. Work with the son!

Do you say that you have no clothes, and are clothed with your son? Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers. Walk with the son! ”

The song of the old Qin army, which had been sung for two hundred years, echoed in the sky. Nan Rongxiu took the surviving old Qin army to see off the deceased.

Although Liu Kan came with the Lantian Jiashi, he was also singing softly.

In that song, there is endless sorrow, with endless remembrance. Guan Ying and others listened to it on the side, and couldn't help but be moved.

"I seem to get it!"

The baby muttered in a low voice, and his hands inadvertently clenched into fists.

Ren Ao asked, "What do you understand?" ”

"I understand why the Six Kingdoms of Shandong lost to the old Qin people. It's not that their armor is hard, it's not that their spears are sharp, it's because of the bloody nature of these old Qin people engraved in their bones. Maybe they are not as knowledgeable as the people of the Six Nations, maybe they are not as gentle and elegant as the people of the Six Nations, but they have blood and a fierce spirit that is not afraid of death...... The Six Kingdoms were defeated by Lao Qin, and they were unjustly defeated. ”

Ren Ao also sighed softly, "When I cleaned up the corpse yesterday, all the fatal injuries of these old Qin people are here. ”

He pointed to his chest and whispered, "There are two hundred and seventeen corpses in total, and none of them are fatally wounded. It's really a terrible old Qin person. It's really a mighty old Qin person...... Baby-filling. If there is another fight, I think it will be the Six Nations that will lose in the end. ”

Guan Ying didn't answer, but from his eyes, he could see that he agreed with Ren Ao's words.

And Liu Kan stood quietly at the front of the team, watching Nan Rongxiu raise the torch and throw it on the pyre. Above the pyre. It had already been sprinkled with combustibles, and the flames burst into the sky. More than 200 corpses were swept into the flames at once.

This was also a way for the old Qin people to dispose of corpses when they were about to fight.

There were not so many coffins, so they were cremated. After incineration, they would scatter the ashes of the corpse on the battlefield in the hope of protecting the corpse. Meanwhile. The people of Fuping sang a song of spiritualism, but the crying of the soul returning continued, adding to the sadness and desolation.

Liu Kan's eyes. Unconsciously narrowed into a line and clenched his fists.

"Junhou, everyone is reluctant to go!"

Nan Rongxiu walked over with red eyes, "The villagers said that this Fuping is their home, even if they die, they will die on their own land." There were more than 6,320 people in total, of whom 1,800 were young and strong. Most of the rest are old and weak, women and children. Obey the command of the military marquis. ”

Actually, at the time of cremation of the body. Liu Kan had already guessed the answer.

The place where they died last night was not only the old Qin soldiers stationed in Fuping, but also many local people. This Beidi County is a bitter cold land, in the early years under the rule of the Yiqu Rong State, and suffered from disasters, it can be said that the people are fierce, and they are all not afraid of life and death.

Looks like it's really going to be a defensive battle here!

However, the people's will is available, and it is still possible to fight. Thinking of this, Liu Kan raised his hand and motioned for Chen Daozi and Li Cheng to step forward to listen to the order.

"From now on, Cheng Sima will be responsible for the repair of Fuping. Daozi, you are responsible for assisting Cheng Sima in preparing the defense of Fuping City. Use all the items that can be used in the city to carry the baggage, take advantage of the fact that the Huns have not yet come, organize manpower, and complete the defense task of Fuping as soon as possible. ”

"Whoa!"

"Fill the baby Ren Ao!"

"In!"

Guan Ying and Ren Ao rushed forward and intervened: "Please command!" ”

"In the city of Fuping, there are still 1,800 young people. You are organized, you are assigned to your command, and you are stepping up your training...... Whatever you can train, you can train into. You won't have a lot of time, so go down and prepare as soon as possible, and don't delay any longer. ”

"Whoa!"

"Xiu Junhou, your subordinates, I will break them up and bring them under the command of Fan Xu and Tu Tu, and I hope you don't blame Nan Rongxiu hurriedly said: "Even if Liu Junhou doesn't say so, Nan Rong will arrange it like this." ”

"From now on, all the cavalry will be under my command...... Lu Shizhi. ”

"In!"

"The scouts of the Meng's disease department are temporarily led by you. From now on, you have to keep a close watch on the movements of the Huns. As soon as there is a situation, report it to me immediately. ”

"Whoa!"

After Liu Kan finished his order, he turned over and got on his horse.

"Xiujun Hou, let's take a look at the terrain around Fuping."

There was a pro-army who led the horse over, and Nan Rongxiu turned over and got on the horse and left with Liu Kan.

After the two of them circled around Fuping for a hundred miles, Liu Kan's heart became heavier and heavier. The area around Fuping is dominated by plains, with a few hills, and there is no danger to defend at all. But if you give up, then a horse south of Fuping Pingchuan, which is suitable for the Huns' riding skills. It seems that only by relying on Fuping City can we hold back the Huns and wait for reinforcements to come.

Liu Kan calculated the time.

They had to hold out at least seven days in Fuping before reinforcements could arrive.

But it doesn't seem easy to rely on the humble walls of Pupyeong to hold on for seven days.

"The marquis is worried about defending against the enemy?"

seemed to see Liu Kan's thoughts, Nan Rongxiu urged him to step forward and walk side by side with Liu Kan.

Liu Kan nodded, "If you want to hold out until the reinforcements arrive, it will definitely be impossible to rely on Fuping County alone." Therefore, I hope to be able to take the initiative to attack, and at the same time give the Huns a head-on attack, but also be able to restrain the footsteps of the Huns and give Fuping County enough time. ”

Can you both meet head-on attacks and contain the enemy?

Nan Rongxiu couldn't help frowning. It's not an easy thing to do......

After pondering for a long time, Nan Rongxiu suddenly seemed to remember something, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Junhou, I have a good place." ”

"Oh, where?"

"One hundred and twenty miles away from Fuping, there is a place called Baitugang, which is the only way for the Huns. On one side is a large river, and on the other side is a naturally formed boulder ravine, which is more than ten zhang high. The terrain is gentle from south to north, which can be described as extremely dangerous.

Moreover, on the Baitu Gang, there is a city wall built by the old Wei people in the early years, but it has been abandoned for many years, and it can be used as a defense.

Just ......"

"Just what?"

Nan Rongxiu smiled bitterly, "It's a little far away from Fuping, and it's difficult to supply the baggage." And the city wall on the white clay hill can't resist it for too long. If we want to retreat at that time, we will inevitably face the crazy pursuit of the Huns, and we are not optimistic. ”

"Well, let's go watch it overnight and make a decision!"

"So, Xiu is willing to lead the way!"

Liu Kan and Nan Rongxiu immediately set off and arrived at Baitugang before midnight.

As Nan Rongxiu said, the terrain of this Baitugang is indeed very dangerous. On one side is a big river that is rolling and rushing, and on the other side is a mountain cliff and ravine more than ten zhang high. To be precise, this is a river valley area, close to the riverbank, with white thatch swaying in the wind.

The walls on the clay hill were in a dilapidated state, and several places had collapsed.

Liu Kan climbed the half-collapsed gatehouse and raised his eyes to look north. The river valley is only two or three miles long, and it is difficult to ambush here.

To the north of the valley is an endless field of flat terrain, with no place to ambush in sight.

"It's also a good choice to block here!" Liu Kan said, turned his head and looked south again, frowned, and sighed softly.

This is indeed a good place to stop the Huns!

But the question is, after the blockade is completed, how to evacuate Baitugang? To the south of Baitugang, there is also an open field.

I don't think that if you can't manage to get rid of the pursuit of the Huns, then the old Qin soldiers who are blocking the Huns here are basically dead. The rolling river is an insurmountable moat. However, it is an alluvial plain formed by the accumulation of sediment, which is most suitable for cavalry combat.

Liu Kan narrowed his eyes and quietly observed the surrounding terrain.

"Xiujun Hou, please turn back to Fuping immediately, transfer the men and horses of Fan Xu's department, as well as the chariots and soldiers of Ren Ao's department, and go out overnight."

"Marquis, what are you going to ......?"

Liu Kan took a deep breath, "Don't say anything more, I have already decided to block the Hun strikers here." Remember, transfer all the horses in Fuping City to me. The Huns must not be allowed to break through here easily, otherwise with the walls of Fuping, they will not be able to resist for long. ”

Liu Kan said, gently pounding the battlement.

raised his eyes to look at the north, and smiled helplessly in his heart: Whether it can survive seven days depends on how long this white soil gang can last.

Thinking of this, he shouted: "Come on, plant the battle flag of the old camp on the gatehouse for me!" ”
