The night wind in the north is very hard!

For Lu Shizhi, who has been accustomed to the graceful style of Surabaya County, although he has lived in northern Xinjiang for a long time, he is still not used to it. {First Reading}

The horses were leisurely gnawing on the large-leaved grass on the banks of the Dusitu River, and Lu Shizhi was lying on the grass, looking at the twinkling stars in the night sky, and felt a kind of homesickness. From childhood to adulthood, he grew up in the love and care of his family. Even if he later left home, served in Loucang, and became a pawn. But in fact, he is still living a carefree life under the protection of his family.

In eighteen years, except for this time, the farthest place he has ever been to is the East China Sea.

But at that time, Liu Kan took care of him all the way and didn't give him too much responsibility and pressure. But this time, he had to take responsibility. The twenty cavalry soldiers under his command served as the work of the ears and eyes scouts, which was the first time in Lu Shizhi's life.

Scouts!

This is the equivalent of a face-to-face encounter with the enemy.

Lu Shizhi is a very lazy person by nature. He admires Liu Kan, but it doesn't mean that he wants to become the same character as Liu Kan.

When so many people's lives are pinned on one person, that person must be tired.

Lu Shizhi bit the grass roots, looked at the companions who were holding weapons in their arms not far away, leaning on the trunk of the tree and resting with their eyes closed, and sighed lightly in his heart. These twenty people alone are already exhausting me to death. If I had more, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to do it well.

It's better to follow Brother Kan's side!

"Heifu!"

Lu Shizhi screamed softly. One of the scouts closest to him opened his eyes, "Lu Tou, why didn't you rest...... Hehe, if you can't get a good rest, you won't be a good scout. When the time comes, the marquis won't spare you. ”

Hef. It was a Tiger Knight who followed Meng Ji.

Although Huqu was abolished, Meng Ke still transferred the best soldiers under his command to Meng Ji.

It's not to sell well, but I just hope that Liu Kan can open up the net and give some care to Meng's illness. This Heifu is also a battle-hardened man, and it is enough to stand out from more than a hundred cavalry and become a scout. His personal abilities too.

Lu Shizhi leaned over, "I can't sleep, I'll talk to you...... Hef, where are you from! ”

"Qishan!"

"Oh?" Lu Shizhi said: "Isn't Qishan the place where King Wen of Zhou is located? ”

Heifu smiled a little proudly, "Not to mention Zhou Gong! Qishan is also the place where my Great Qin Longxing is prosperous. My ancestors have been in the past six generations, and although the kings fought first, to my generation, it is already the seventh generation...... Now. I, Daqin, unify the world, and I will definitely reproduce the prosperity of the past. ”

There was a pride in that tone that didn't need to be disguised.

Lu Shizhi couldn't help but ask, "Seven generations working for Great Qin?" Then why didn't you stay in Xianyang, but came to this desolate border county to serve as a soldier? ”

"Staying in Xianyang, how can there be military merits?"

Heifu said softly: "For six generations of my ancestors, they all won military merits with one hand, and by the time of my grandfather's generation, my family already had a hereditary fourth-class civil lord. Originally, I didn't need to serve, but if I didn't serve, how could I get military merit. What about the glorious ancestors? Although the border county is barren, there are countless opportunities to seize military merits. Hehe, I calculated, as long as I kill ten more armorers, I can be promoted to another knight. When the time comes. The family will be able to get a few more acres of fertile land and build some houses...... I can please a woman, too. ”

In the eyes of the old Qin people, there seems to be nothing in this world that can care more to them than to seize military merits.

Different from the custom of later generations that good men should not be soldiers, in this era, being a soldier means being able to get ahead and glorify one's ancestors.

Not to mention after having a military merit. People see you differently.

But just the rewards given by the state are enough to make every old Qin person go crazy to fight and harvest their lives.

To be honest, it was difficult for Lu Shizhi to understand Heifudi's thoughts.

The night was already deep......

In the reeds by the river, a few night birds suddenly sprang up. Immediately after the sound of hurried horses' hooves, two war horses galloped towards them.

"Lu Tou. We have the Huns! ”

All the scouts stood up. Lu Shi was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Where are the Huns?" ”

"According to this, fifty miles of black water. There were about three thousand people, and it seemed to be a forward man. All the cavalry are rushing towards this side. ”

Heifu frowned, "That is, before dawn, they will cross the Dusitu River?" ”

"At the latest, we will definitely arrive."

From Dusitu River to Baitugang, there are about 100 miles. If the Huns had advanced at this level, they would have reached Baitugang before noon.

Lu Shizhi couldn't help but panic!

"Shall we ...... Rush back to Baitugang as soon as possible and inform the military marquis! ”

Heifu grabbed Lu Shizhi's arm, "Lu Tou, we can't all go." In this case, the military marquis only has two hours to prepare, which must be in a hurry. The only way to do this now is to delay the footsteps of these Huns, as long as one of them returns. ”

Lu Shizhi was stunned at first, and then said: "If that's the case, Heifu, go back, I'll take someone to delay here." ”

Heifu smiled, revealing a mouthful of slightly yellowed teeth. He looked at the others around him, all of whom were smiling and nodding at him.

After many years, what do you think?

Heifu could tell it by a simple smile.

"Lu Tou, it's enough to have your words!" Heifu said, took the bow from Lu Shizhi's waist, and patted him on the shoulder, "But you are too far away in battle." You stay, there is no other use than to die, so you should leave early. ”

"But ......"

"Lu Tou, don't be any more. You rush to Baitugang now, and we can delay here for as long as we can.

The sooner you go back, the more time the marquis will have to prepare. ”

Twenty against three thousand, the outcome of which is no guesswork. Lu Shizhi looked at these old Qin people in amazement. But now, their faces did not reveal the slightest fear of death, on the contrary, it was an excitement, a kind of enthusiasm. This kind of strange emotion is rarely seen by Lu Shizhi. When Liu Kan and Zhong Liwu went to rescue the children, they seemed to have shown this kind of expression, but they were by no means as enthusiastic as Heifu.

I also knew in my heart that Heifu was telling the truth.

Lu Shizhi nodded slightly. suddenly stepped forward and hugged Heifu fiercely, "I know, your name is Heifu, and you are from Qishan!" ”

After saying this, he turned and got on a horse, bowed his hand to the crowd, and whipped the horse away.

Heifu and the others watched Lu Shizhi leave, and the twenty people took a deep breath. Cheer up.

"Brothers, let's get ready...... Haosheng taught those barbarians a lesson, if anyone didn't kill him by one or twenty, he would have to break his book. ”

"How can one or twenty be enough, no matter what, you have to kill him one or two hundred!"

Heifu and the others laughed as they spoke. The crowd mounted their horses and marched north along the Dustu River. If the Huns wanted to cross the Dusitu River, there was only one way. As long as you can occupy that road first, you can stop the advance of the Huns.

The place name is the Rabbit River Valley, which is connected to the Great River.

Great river channels. Here it suddenly became narrower, and the river was extremely turbid, and the current was extremely rapid, like the roar of a giant beast.

The twenty horsemen were divided into two rows and stuck on the path.

Heifu et al. Tie your legs with a belt and tie them to the horse. Although this can't have much effect, it can have a more or less fixed body effect. The Huns also often used this method to keep their bodies and horses in line when riding and shooting. Heifu and others fought and fought with the Donghu people and the Huns in the border counties, so they also learned such methods.

The sky was about to dawn, and the neighing of the original war horses in the distance.

The thousands of horses galloped and breathed. Tears through the silence of dawn.

The earth, under the iron hooves, trembled gently, and the great river in the distance roared louder and louder.

The Huns are coming!

The shadow is longing, Heifu and the others have already seen the figure of the Huns. His cheeks twitched slightly, and he took off his hard bow. Suddenly urged the war horse. shouted: "Brothers, charge with me!" ”

Lu Shizhi didn't understand. Hefu their interception, the effect will not be very noticeable.

Half an hour at most... But being able to have an extra half an hour is very precious for Baitugang. No matter what, they can't be allowed to die in vain.

Lu Shizhi kept whipping the war horse, and the ** horse galloped as if it was crazy.

Piggy, run, run!

Hurry up, hurry up......

The sky is already dawning, and Du Situ River has already been left behind. Lu Shizhi understands very well that at this time, Heifu and they are already more than lucky. The more this happened, the more anxious he became. I can't wait to insert my wings and fly to Baitugang to report to Liu Kan.

In my heart, there is an inexplicable sense of sadness.

In fact, at this time, Lu Shizhi didn't understand what the old Qin people's spirit of treating death as if they were at home was for?

Born in six countries, raised in six countries. Although it is said that the era in which Lu Shizhi lived, the Six Kingdoms no longer existed. But Lu Shizhi didn't have a good impression of the old Qin people. Is it because the Qin law is strict? Of course not...... Although the Qin law was strict, it had little impact on Lu Shizhi. The reason why I don't have a good impression of the old Qin people is because of those rumors that have been circulating for hundreds of years.

The tyrannical Qin is cruel, and the old Qin people are vicious!

Even living among ordinary people, Lu Shizhi was not less affected by these words.

However, as he grew up day by day, some rumors were self-defeating. But if you say that the taste is profound, it is still this trip to northern Xinjiang.

Lu Shizhi really saw the goodness of the old Qin people, and experienced the spirit of the old Qin people who were kind to the old Qin and went to the national disaster together. And this kind of spirit can't be felt in the land of the Six Nations. The so-called "death of the six countries" is only superficial.

It's not like Lao Qin, which is engraved in his bones.

In fact, even if Great Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, what could it do? Everyone's life is good, food is good, and it will be okay soon? Those who oppose Qin are for the sake of the people? Or is it to satisfy their lusts? Lu Shizhi couldn't help but hesitate secretly in his heart.

In the distance, the shadow of Baitugang was already faintly visible.

Lu Shizhi urged the horse again, but he didn't want the horse to scream, Xi Yuyu's front hooves were soft, and he fell to the ground all of a sudden.

Running wild all night, although the war horse in the land of Lu Shi is good, it is an ordinary horse after all. So constantly mentioning, constantly running, but also to the limit.

Lu Shizhi was dizzy, but his heart still echoed with Heifu's explanation at the time of parting.

"Notify the military marquis a moment earlier, and be prepared more!"

"The Huns are coming...... The Huns are coming...... Inform the military marquis, I am Lu Shizhi, I am Lu Shizhi! ”

Lu Shizhi stumbled to his feet and staggered towards Baitugang. Obviously, the people on Baitugang also appeared Lu Shizhi. More than ten war horses rushed out of the makeshift fortifications in Baitugang, and the first war horse, covered in fiery red like red carbon, Xi Yu roared, and rushed in front of Lu Shizhi in the blink of an eye. The man on the horse jumped down and hugged Lu Shizhi.

"Brother Kan, the Huns are here!"

"Piggy wakes up, piggy wakes up ......"

The familiar voice, as soon as I heard it, I knew it was Liu Kan.

Lu Shizhi reluctantly opened his eyes, "The scouts have all died in battle to delay the Huns...... Brother Kan, before noon, the Huns will arrive at Baitugang. ”

"How many are there?"

"Three thousand, three thousand Hu Qi!"

After Lu Shizhi finished speaking, he fainted.

Liu Kan frowned and ordered someone to carry Lu Shizhi to Baitugang. He turned on his horse and galloped to the heights, holding his pergola in his hand and looking into the distance.

The Huns, are they coming so soon?

The Huns were very fast, which was somewhat unexpected by Liu Kan.

Originally, it was thought that it would take about five days for the Huns to move forward. Unexpectedly, it was only the fourth day, and the Huns came.

Don't look at the time difference, but for Liu Kan, this day is very important.

There is no other reason, the fortifications of Baitugang have not yet been completed, and the city defense of Fuping County is far from meeting Liu Kan's requirements.

If the fortifications could not be built well, Baitugang would delay the Huns for three days, and I am afraid it would be difficult to complete them.

If the Huns could not be delayed at Baitugang for three days, the fortifications of Fuping would not have been effective. This is a chain reaction, and if you don't get this so-called Fuping sniper battle, it will end in a fiasco because of the time of the day. The failure of the Fuping Resistance War meant that the door of Northland County was wide open; The door of Northland County is wide open, and it may even threaten the safety of Neishi County.

King Zuo Xian looks really menacing!

"Marquis, what should we do?"

Guan Ying and Nan Rongxiu rode horses to Liu Kan's side. It can be seen that their minds are extremely heavy.

Nan Rongxiu said: "Since the forward men and horses of Zuo Xianwang's department have arrived, then his Chinese soldiers and horses will definitely arrive within a day." ”

After speaking, Nan Rongxiu glanced at the fortress fortifications that had not yet been fully completed, "With the current situation of Baitugang, I'm afraid it won't be able to stop the Huns for three days." ”

"If you can't stop it, you have to stop it for me!"

Liu Kan reached out, stroked the cold handle of Chiqi, and said word by word: "I don't want to be beaten by a group of barbarians and run away." ”

As he spoke, his voice suddenly became cold, "When the two armies meet, the brave wins, pass my order, and all the departments assemble and prepare to fight to the death." ”
