In late autumn in August, the morning dew is frost. The pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info cold wind to the bone, and the iron armor is cold.

Yang Wenyu and Huangfu Zhanwen took nearly 100,000 officers and soldiers to the north in a hurry at night, and finally joined Qin Lei and Qin Li's troops at dawn.

The troops were ordered to rest in place and strengthen their alert. The two hurried to report to the prince's Chinese army.

Qin Lei and Qin Li were sitting by the extinguished fire with military blankets, and when they saw the two of them coming, Qin Lei split his head and asked, "What about Your Majesty?" ”

Hearing this, the two knelt down on one knee and hung their heads silently.

In fact, the scout had already reported the matter by the river to Qin Lei, but as soon as he saw these two fools, he couldn't help but be angry, and shouted: "Speak!" ”

"Crossed the river." Huangfu Zhanwen stubbornly said: "It passed before the arrival of the Qi warship. ”

"Why didn't you go over?" Qin Lei asked with a frosty face.

"We want to be the queen of the army." Huangfu Zhanwen whispered.

"It's all ten or twenty years old, don't you know how safe it is to cross the river later?" Qin Lei's voice was full of anger, and he lifted the military blanket off his shoulders, "Why don't you let Your Majesty wait until the end?" ”

"Your Majesty insisted on crossing the river earlier, and we couldn't help it." Huangfu Zhanwen regretted not learning from Yang Wenyu and pretending to be deaf and dumb. In fact, Yang Wenyu has a plan in his heart, he knows that the prince is a reasonable person, and he can see the ins and outs, merits and demerits clearly. The reason why I was angry this time was just because I was angry and needed to vent.

"The boat and the bridge are in your hands!" Qin Lei was unreasonable and said, "You won't stop him?" ”

Huangfu Zhanwen said in his heart: "This kind of thing is what you can do. He lowered his head and pretended to be a clay sculpture like Yang Wenyu.

Qin Lei's anger was almost gone, he picked up the blanket and covered it again, and said angrily: "Why are you embarrassed to come back?!" ”

Qin Li on the side saw that his anger was getting smaller, so he said in a round voice: "Do you know it's wrong? ”

The two finally waited for the steps, and naturally nodded busily.

"Teach me a lesson." The eldest prince smiled and said, "Don't take it as an example, get up!" Yang Wenyu and Huangfu Zhanwen didn't dare to move, but just looked at their Royal Highness pitifully.

"Why not? I'm going to lose it next time. Qin Lei said angrily: "Get out, didn't you hear the uncle?" ”

The two of them hurriedly smiled at Qin Li, and then got up honestly.

"Sit." Qin Lei said in a deep voice: "I don't like to look at other people's crotch talking. The two of them knew that the rain had passed, and the sky was clear, so they sat on the horse with a long sigh of relief, straightened their backs and listened to the prince.

"Where's the Captain?" Qin Lei's tone was still not good, if it weren't for Qin Li by his side, he would definitely scold: "Those who should come will not come, and those who should not come will come." ’

"In the back." Yang Wenyu opened his mouth and said: "Lord Taiwei said that the Tiance Army is completely under the command of the prince, so he will not come to get involved. ”

Qin Lei snorted lightly, then stopped caring about the old man, and said in a deep voice: "Now that our hundreds of thousands of troops have been cut into pieces, and the situation is unprecedentedly severe, let's talk about what to do?" ”

Huangfu Zhanwen looked at Yang Wenyu, and this time he didn't say anything first. Yang Wenyu had no choice but to weigh the words and said: "The river has been controlled by the Qi army, and it is impossible to go south." As he spoke, he glanced at the prince and said, "The last general thinks that we should go north to Muye, and after joining the forbidden army in the city, we will continue to the north, and finally return to China from Huguan." ”

"The idea is not bad." The eldest prince pointed to the map on the ground with a small wooden stick, and said with a worried face: "But if you want to reach Huguan, you must first cross the hundreds of thousands of troops on the Makino Plain, and then break through the Chaoge defense line of the Qi State, and finally there is the trench-like canyon defense line. After clicking three times on the map, the eldest prince threw away the stick in his hand and sighed: "The more serious problem is that even a three-year-old child knows that we have to go this way!" ”

After a moment of silence, Huangfu Zhanwen whispered tentatively: "Why don't we go in another direction and return to China from the Great Wall of the North?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Shen Qing on the side said in a deep voice: "By all means, we have to go thousands of miles in this way, with the current situation of our army, ......" Although the words behind him were contained, everyone knew that they were alone and had a new defeat, which was the time when the army's morale was weakened.

"But if you shake the three lines of defense, how many people will survive to Huguan?" Huangfu Zhanwen said with a bitter face: "Our army has never been good at attacking fortifications!" ”

Qin Lei coughed lightly and said to Yang Wenyu, who bowed his head and was silent: "Are you sure of your plan?" ”

Yang Wenyu nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice: "Seventy percent sure." ”

"Reason." Qin Lei said softly.

"The Art of War: 'Don't stop the master, don't chase the poor.'" The more the current situation, the more we can work together, go all out, and exert unprecedented combat power. Yang Wenyu said in an astonishing voice: "The last general feels that we don't have to worry about morale...... As long as we can let everyone see hope, the officers and men will persist and create miracles. ”

"Then according to my method, I can also give everyone hope." Huangfu Zhanwen said sullenly.

"In the eyes of officers and soldiers, that's running away!" Qin Li suddenly interjected: "A team bent on escaping will collapse at the touch of a button, how can you expect it to fight thousands of miles?" ”

"Big brother is right." Qin Lei nodded and said firmly: "At present, the military heart is delicate, and it must not be passed on to the officers and soldiers the slightest cowardice. You have to let them know that if you want to go home, you have to defeat all the opponents in front of you! Failure or retreat will be doomed! ”

"From now on, we can't run away! Defeat all the enemies that stand in your way! Qin Lei Huo got up and said with a resolute face: "Split the road of life and death with both hands, and cut off the roadblock with one sword!" ”

"Yes!" The generals responded in unison.

The sun was rising, the hoarfrost was turning to dew again, and even the iron armor was not so cold.

Under the organization of the black-clothed guards, more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians began to line up around a mound to listen to the lectures of His Royal Highness Prince Cheng.

Standing on top of the mound, Qin Lei looked at the dense crowd, and even had a feeling that he couldn't see the edge at a glance.

Without the need for officers to maintain order, there was silence on the huge field, and the officers and soldiers looked at the solemn figure on the central mound with hesitation and hope, hoping to get some solace from him, dispel hesitation, and gain some confidence to fight despair.

His gaze slowly slid across the field, and Qin Lei saw countless faces full of pleading. He knew that these poor people on the edge of the cliff had apparently taken themselves as a lifesaver.

'Can I bring these people back?' From now on, every word and decision he makes will affect the life and death of these hundreds of thousands of people. The huge pressure made it difficult for Qin Lei to breathe, and his face was extremely solemn.

"Lord Wang......" noticed the strangeness of the prince, and Shi Dang behind him reminded in a low voice: "It's time to speak." ”

Qin Lei came back to his senses at this time...... Well, since there is no way back, then bravely shoulder the responsibility! Whether it is life or death, success or failure, let God decide!

His eyes once again swept over the soldiers and civilians in the audience, but he was far more determined and decisive than the last time: "The men of the Qin State! Lone is Qin Lei, the prince of Great Qin Cheng. ”

"The reason why Lone is standing here is because we have fallen for the enemy's tricks, the army has been divided on both sides of the Yellow River, deep in the hinterland of the enemy country, and there are hundreds of thousands of Qi troops watching around us." Qin Lei did not hide the current crisis, and said in a loud voice: "There is no doubt that this is a critical moment for the Great Qin Dynasty, a critical moment for our army, and a critical moment for each of us. ”

"Are you afraid?" Qin Lei asked in a deep voice.

"Don't be afraid ......" voices were uneven, and many people did not speak. Even those who open their mouths have a lot of duplicity.

But Qin Lei didn't care, he held the sword on his waist and said loudly: "No matter what you think, Lone is not afraid!" He said with a long laugh and said: "Because this kind of situation of being besieged and isolated is the third time I have encountered it." ”

"Coincidentally, the first time was also in this Qi country, and the opponent was also Yum Gong Zhao Wujiao." He was just putting gold on his face, how could Zhao Wuyi put a little proton in his eyes back then? That's why I gave him a vacancy. But no one will jump out to expose him, so Qin Lei can wantonly boast of himself: "I was only seventeen years old at the time!" From Shangjing City to Hangu Pass, a full 3,000-mile journey, there are only 300 families around, but they have to face a hundred times the enemy's encirclement and interception......"

"No one believes that we can escape the Ascension!" Qin Lei glanced at the black-clothed guard standing behind him and said, "But what about the result?" We did it, and not only the Lone King, but most of my guards also escaped safely, and they are still with Lonely. "The trick to lying is to have as much truth as possible, so that people can be convinced of the falsehood in between.

Qin Lei told the well-known beginning and ending as it was, and only slightly modified the process as needed, which really convinced hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, and was very excited...... It's as excited as a lost ship seeing a lighthouse.

"Another time was last year, in the state of Chu." Qin Lei continued to brag unsatisfactorily: "Then the situation is even more dangerous, from Emperor Jingtai to Zhu Hongjun, the official army of the entire Chu State wants to wipe me out." And what about the Lone King? is still a little, but he overcame obstacles all the way and returned home safely. not only wiped out thousands of pursuers, but also gave the invincible Chu State Navy on Dongting Lake with Marshal Bo Xian, an unforgettable lesson. "In fact, no matter how big or small the speech is, the process is the same...... Come up and put your qualifications first, let the people below know that the gentlemen on the stage are highly educated, experienced, and accomplished seniors.

"From the State of Qi to the State of Chu, every time is in danger, every time it is desperate, but Lone and Lone's subordinates have all come out unharmed," Qin Lei said in a high-pitched voice: "Do you want to know where the secret is?" ”

"Yes!" More than 100,000 people spoke in unison, which was definitely a hundred times more uniform than the first time. When the audience is shocked, basically what to say and believe, look at your gaze and worship, things are naturally simple.

"Because the lone king has no way out!" Qin Lei sometimes felt that his most suitable occupation might be a pyramid schemer, and hundreds of thousands of people were happy and sad with his voice, this feeling was really good: "The lonely king does not want to become a prisoner again, and he does not want to spend the rest of his life in prison!" So the lonely king can only give up everything and fight with them! He said with a contemptuous smile: "It turns out that the enemy is a paper tiger, and if we are weak and timid, it will show off its might!" If we have nothing to fear, it will be vulnerable!

"The brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, so the Lone King wins every time!" Qin Lei stretched out his arms and stood tall with his head held high. The shining armor shone brightly, and it was the bright sunlight that trimmed him with gold. At this moment, in the eyes of the soldiers and civilians in the audience, he seemed to be the god of war.

"Hah! Ha! Ha! Words could not express the excitement in their hearts, and the officers and soldiers had to vent in the most primitive way.

After everyone was excited, Qin Lei cleared his throat and continued: "This time, the casualties of both armies are very large, and it is already a situation of endless death!" As long as we fall into the hands of Qi people, there must be no way out! As long as we can't go back to Qin, it's a dead end! As if to squeeze all the air out of his lungs, he roared in the loudest voice: "Are you willing? ”

"No!" A cry ten thousand times stronger than his voice rang out: "We want to go back alive!" ”

Seeing that the army's heart was available, Qin Lei also rose with infinite heroism, and pulled out the treasure knife on his waist and said: "The overlord of Western Chu broke the cauldron and destroyed ten times the enemy army of himself; Huaiyin Han Xin fought against the water, and also destroyed ten times the enemy army of his own. Since there is no way to retreat, then take out all the courage! Let's fight with all our might! ”

"Fight! War! War! The officers and soldiers roared in unison.

"Good, you've got the courage to give it a go!" Qin Lei held high the snow-bright sword, and made a promise with a solemn face: "Follow my sword, defeat all enemies, and I will take you home!" ”

"Where the long knife is pointed, the front is fought!" Everyone raised their swords in unison, and the mountains shouted a tsunami. This scene is enough to give the most cowardly people infinite courage.

"The names of all officers and soldiers are counted by the troops." Qin Lei said in a hoarse voice: "The Lone King swears to the heavens that after this battle, the Lone King will work with the surviving people to support the parents of the victims and raise the children of the victims to adulthood!" As he spoke, he slashed down a small tree beside him, and said word by word: "If you break your oath, the lone king should be such a tree!" ”

In addition to spiritual encouragement, it is also necessary to have something practical in order to relieve the worries of the officers and men and let them fight bravely against the enemy.

The red flag swept the west wind. Today, the long tassel is in hand, when to tie the dragon.

After understanding his situation and knowing that the only way out was to fight his way out desperately, the atmosphere of desolation and defeat in the Qin military camp became extremely solemn.

Cavalry units are ready to break through the enemy's defenses. The men also tied up their wagons tightly, and they were to be escorted by infantry and follow their soldiers to break through...... The reason why he didn't give up these people was not that Qin Lei had a loving heart, but that the troops were marching and fighting at this time, and there were too many non-combat activities that consumed physical strength, such as camping in the village, chopping firewood and cooking, transporting baggage, etc., etc., etc., if these tasks were all done by soldiers, then there would basically be no physical strength to fight.

While the officers and soldiers were in full swing preparing for departure, Qin Lei was giving specific combat tasks to the top of the three forbidden armies: "This time, the Lone King is ready to adopt a three-way assault method, and our three forbidden armies will each send 20,000 elite cavalry, with an indomitable momentum, at all costs, to crush the formation of the Qi army!" ”

All the commanders of the Jingshan Army, the Long Xiang Army and Qin Li, the Tiance Army Li Long and others, all listened attentively to the arrangement of the prince, and at this time they worked together to overcome the difficulties and work together, but there was no more vision of the door and the hatred of the past.

"When the opponent's defenses are broken, the infantry will cover the baggage and break through." Qin Lei said the battlefield arrangement with a calm face: "There are also 10,000 cavalry, as a strategic reserve, which will be led by King Gu himself, waiting for the opportunity to support the side with the greatest advantage...... This battle will help the strong or not the weak, so you can do it yourself. ”

"This is not to avoid the failure of some troops to work, but simply to strive for victory on the battlefield." Seeing the faces of the generals of the other two armies, Qin Lei still said calmly: "Helping others is helping yourself, and King Gu believes that everyone understands people." ”

The generals' faces softened slightly, but they still had doubts. Li Long, the captain of the Tiance Army, arched his hand and said: "I don't know how the prince arranged the troops, where did he put our Tiance Army, and where did he leave your Jingshan Army?" ”

These words were already very disrespectful, but Qin Lei's face remained unchanged, and he said the battlefield arrangements unhurriedly: "The Jingshan Army is mainly attacking the middle lane, the Longxiang Army is attacking the right flank, and the Tiance Army is attacking the left flank. ”

The generals were in an uproar, and Li Long, who had just spoken, was even more ashamed. Who doesn't know that the most powerful Baisheng army in Qi has always guarded the middle road and guarded the banner of Baisheng Gong, which is a difficult way to attack.

Just last month, the old general Huangfu took the tiger brigade known as the 'soul of the forbidden army' and assumed the responsibility of attacking the middle lane, but was beaten head-on by the Baisheng Army, and the battlefield was chaotic. Although they were rescued in time by two friendly forces, the entire army was crippled and is still recuperating in the Tiger Prison.

At least it is not used to Qi to suffer this foreign crime, and it can be regarded as 'Saion lost his horse and knows whether it is a blessing'......

Seeing that Qin Lei took on the most arduous and undesirable task, those Tiance generals who took the heart of a villain to live the belly of a gentleman were ashamed, but they did not have the courage to ask for an exchange of tasks with the Jingshan Army.

But the eldest prince didn't care so much, he said in a deep voice: "I'll hit the middle lane, pick up and charge, there is no comparison with the Longxiang cavalry." ”

Shaking his head, Qin Lei said in a deep voice: "No, our Jingshan army is fighting, this matter is so decided." ”

"Brother, don't be foolish!" Qin Li said in a deep voice: "Although your black-armored cavalry is unparalleled in the world, the other troops still have to train for two years. "The boss still had a questioning thing to say: 'How can such a force compete with the Hundred Victories?' But everyone knows what it means.

"I admit that real swords and real guns can't beat the Yum Army." Qin Lei said calmly.

"Then don't be tough." The eldest prince clenched his fists and said: "Although our Longxiang Army is worse than the Baisheng Army, we can still have a fight......

Before he finished speaking, he heard Qin Lei say unhurriedly: "Have you heard the story of Tian Ji horse racing?" Now with the king under the donkey, take the king on the donkey and the other in the donkey, take the king in the donkey and the other under the donkey, then two wins and one loss, our side has the advantage. ”

It turned out that the prince should have made up his mind to use the weakest Jingshan army to entangle the Baisheng army, and create the necessary conditions for the Longxiang army and the Tiance army to break through on both wings.

If you are not selfless, you can't convince the public, and all the generals will be solemn.
