Chapter 319: Deep

Their eyes were blank, only the last few stars were already a little numb, their military flags were long gone, and the few soldiers who walked in the front didn't even have their shoes, and some of them were barefoot. Some of them ripped pieces of cloth from their clothes and barely covered their feet.

These hundreds of people came from afar, dragging and procrastinating, and the queue dragged long, not that there were still people who fell halfway. When these hundreds of people finally saw Qingyunfei's camp and saw the dusty flag fluttering in the army, many people suddenly knelt on the ground with a thud, hugged their heads and cried loudly. There was a cry, which immediately caused a chain reaction, and more and more people threw themselves on the ground, and suddenly the sound of crying became a whole!

The gate had been opened by Qing Yunfei's order, and he sent two more teams of people out to answer it, and it took more than an hour to bring these people into the gate. As soon as these men entered the camp. There are even many people who fainted from crying on the spot, and some sat on the ground and went into a coma on the spot.

It made Qing Yunfei's people chaotic for a while, and hurried over to help. Qing Yunfei let people bring a lot of food and water, and as soon as these soldiers from afar saw the hot food, they all hula and rushed up, like starving ghosts. Qing Yunfei saw that it was not good, and hurriedly sent a team of people with sticks to drive it away, and only then did he barely suppress the order of the scene.

"Queue up! They all line up in line to receive food!! If there is trouble, all the troublemakers will be arrested by Lao Tzu! Qing Yunfei stood tall and scolded loudly. Although he was wearing an extremely simple attire, just a huge mace iron rod and his tall and mighty figure immediately shocked everyone, and obviously, in Zhang Yejun's opinion, he was the identity of a high-ranking general, and many of the defeated soldiers immediately flinched back.

Qing Yunfei stood on the school field and looked at these soldiers. Where do these soldiers still have the slightest appearance of Zhang Yejun? It's just a bunch of refugees. Many of them are so thin that they are almost out of shape, skinny and skinny, and their faces are yellow and thin. Qing Yunfei found all the medical officers in the tent, but there were still a few soldiers, perhaps because they were too hungry before, and they got food. I almost choked to death, and some of them lost their strength, but I am afraid that they will not be able to recover in a few days.

Qing Yunfei was very anxious, although he knew that this was Luo Xingtian's team, but now he couldn't see Luo Xingtian's whereabouts, although the noise on the school field was much smaller, but it still made Qing Yunfei feel a little bored, he shouted: "Who is the commander of the army, come out and answer!" ”

Lu Qin touched the cake in his hand, his face was bitter, he approached Qing Yunfei step by step, while still nibbling on the cake in his hand, he had been hungry for a long time, all the way, the Southern Prison Army was chasing after them, they were also hungry, plus Zhang Yecheng was broken, they had already lost their spirit, and now Luo Xingtian's life and death are unknown, their last hope is almost gone, and they can't help but feel a little depressed.

"Where are you from?"

Qing Yunfei frowned, looking at Lu Qin in front of him, a little bored.

Lu Qin was holding half of the dough he had just received in his hand, and his mouth was bulging. Reluctantly replied: "General, we are Zhang Yejun, the men and horses under General Luo!" ”

Qing Yunfei's heart sank, sighed, and said in a cold voice: "Zhang Yejun? What the hell is going on, is Zhangye City broken? What about Luo Xingtian, where is he? ”

As soon as I heard this. Lu Qin suddenly wailed, lost the bread in his hand, and immediately lay on the ground and cried. The voice was so grief-stricken that others couldn't help but look sideways. Qing Yunfei endured his impatience and went up to lift this person up, only to feel a strong sour smell on the other party's body. I don't know how many days I haven't taken a bath, I am unkempt, and even my nails are full of black mud, and then I shouted: "What is my husband crying about, what is going on?" Say it carefully, and then cry and kill you! ”

"Southern Prison Army! The Southern Prison Army is so ruthless! General Luo ......" Lu Qin said two words. Suddenly, my eyelids rolled and I fainted directly.

Qingyunfei was helpless. I could only let people quickly carry the soldier down to help, and asked someone to ask again, and finally learned the details intermittently. It turned out that this rout. It is the remnants of the Zhang Ye Army. At the beginning, Zhang Ye's army broke through, the soldiers were divided into two roads, Luo Xingtian crossed Jinshui under the leadership of the leader of the road, but he didn't expect that in addition to Luo Xingtian, the whole army was annihilated, and another army under the guise of Luo Xingtian rushed out in the army, Qin Tianzhao did not catch Luo Xingtian, although the army returned to Zhangye that day, but Luo Xingtian was what kind of character, thirsty for killing, and immediately sent people to chase and beat this group of people. Finally, this group of men and horses was defeated along the way, and they were almost completely annihilated. The original generals were also killed in battle, and almost all the troops were wiped out, but a heavy rain helped these soldiers. Stopped Qin Tianzhao's pursuit. Pity these hundreds. Throwing away his armor, he fled in embarrassment all the way, without food or drink, and was terrified, for fear of the pursuit of the soldiers in the Southern Prison, where there was still the appearance of an army. And the original highest-ranking commander in the army has long since died in battle. Now Luo Xingtian is sick again. Without a leader in the army, most of the original fate was probably to scatter in a hurry halfway, and they were directly scattered as birds and beasts. But it's a miracle that you can still come here.

"Where is Luo Xingtian?"

He heard it probably, looking at these soldiers on the school ground, he suddenly felt a little sad, these surviving people and horses, they are real heroes, they have fought and fought along the way, but they have never given up, let alone surrendered, I have to say, this is a miracle.

Hearing Qing Yunfei ask, one of Luo Xingtian's guards had already slowly walked over, and the other had already fainted, and he was also holding on, lying on the ox cart, and he had no strength.

"Here, General Luo is here!"

He weakly pointed to the ox cart, and then walked to Qing Yunfei's side, Qing Yunfei heard that someone finally said Luo Xingtian's whereabouts, he immediately changed his face, and then strode out.

Lifting the curtain, an emaciated figure appeared in his eyes, the first time he saw Luo Xingtian was still in the dust pass, although Luo Xingtian was trapped on the grinding stone ridge at that time, but his eyes were still bright, but now, with his eyes closed, it seems that he has no breath.

"Medic, Medic!"

Qing Yunfei shouted, immediately called the medical officer over, found a tent, and let Luo Xingtian rest.

Seeing Luo Xingtian being carried down, Qing Yunfei suddenly began to have a headache again, what to do next, Zhangye City has been broken, and there is no point in going to Zhangye again, it is more likely that he is killing himself, and more importantly, there is a group of people and horses rushing here.

"Driving ......"

In the heavy rain, Zhao Xin rushed over with the men and horses in the direction where Qing Yunfei was, because of Luo Xingtian, Lu Qin and their speed was much slower, but they gave them more time to catch up with Lu Qin, but he didn't know that now in Lu Qin's location, there was another team of people, and it was a very powerful one, from Chenguan.

"Hurry up, take the head back, and exchange it for military merit!"

He turned his head, shouted, and then sped up, under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man, under the order, almost everyone had red eyes, they were moving forward at a speed like breaking a horse's leg, eager to catch up with Lu Qin at this time.

Zhao Xin didn't know that now he had entered the circle of death, what was waiting for him was the Qing Yunfei he had faced before, and he was really a little unwilling to kill Lu Qin in the past dozens of days.

"Brothers, prepare well, prepare a feast for the guests who come from afar, and it will be a pleasure to have friends from afar!"

Qing Yunfei learned the text in the book that he was not familiar with, and a bloodthirsty smile appeared on his face, and the soldiers below heard Qing Yunfei's words, and some wanted to laugh, and when they saw the killing intent on Qing Yunfei's face, they immediately became serious again, and said in unison: "Yes!" ”

The sky slowly darkened, Zhao Xin led the army to find Lu Qin's traces step by step, the sky was getting darker and darker, and he was getting more and more anxious in his heart, if he delayed any longer, he couldn't find Lu Qin, he would be very dangerous here.

He knew very well in his heart that this was not Zhang Ye, and this place could not be regarded as the Southern Prison, this place could now be said to be the world of Liu Fa, if it weren't for the fact that he still had a trace of unwillingness in his heart, and Qin Tianzhao's order, he would never be willing to chase so deeply.

"Brethren, light the torches, look carefully, and be sure to catch them before it gets dark, and bring their heads back!"

Zhao Xin rode on the war horse, his expression was a little anxious, this general who had been fighting for many years, killing decisively, and his joy and anger had long been invisible, but he could no longer maintain his former composure when it was a decisive battle related to his life and death.

Heaven is not beautiful. The heavy rain for several days has caused a very big obstacle to this army of thousands of soldiers and horses, the roads are muddy, the soldiers are physically unable to support, and there are soldiers along the road who are constantly falling ill due to the rain. Zhao Xin knew the weight of this force in his hands, in this battle of pursuit, if thousands of capable and fierce men and horses were on the battlefield outside the city, the role played was immeasurable, but unfortunately because of this damn weather, it was not long before he could walk out of the north shore, and more than three hours had passed. Zhao Xin, as the leading general, knew better than anyone what the delay of fighters on the battlefield and the failure of the army to arrive as scheduled meant for a crucial battle. Meaning variables! It means failure! There have been several times when Zhao Xin wanted to order the soldiers to turn around and return to Zhangye and give up chasing and killing this army, but Qin Tianzhao had already issued a military order, if he didn't go, he couldn't say that he would be given up by Qin Tianzhao, but he didn't want to come all the way, but he wanted to lose these thousands of men and horses and become a stepping stone under the monument of other people's victory. After hesitating for a long time, Zhao Xin still couldn't help but not open his mouth to give this order.

"General, there are traces of the army burying the pot in front of you!"

Suddenly, a soldier ran from the front and walked quickly in front of Zhao Xin, with a hint of panic on his face.

When Zhao Xin heard this, he squinted his eyes slightly, and after a while, he laughed again: "Haha, it's okay, I'm afraid that these soldiers of Zhang Yejun are already at the end of the crossbow, and they have done something that disturbs the hearts of our army, go, kill it!" ”

The soldier still wanted to say something that had already been retreated by Zhao Xin, and when he walked over, Zhao Xin's face really changed, which didn't look like a fake, as if someone was really cooking there.

The sky finally got dark, and on a moonless night, the dark clouds in the sky were like rubble, which was particularly depressing, and Zhao Xin's heart gradually sank. There were traces of a large group of people burying pots and cooking here, and this abnormal situation made him suddenly vigilant. At this time, an adjutant general walked up to Zhao Xin and said: "General, there is another situation, an hour ago, the last general sent out more than a dozen spies to investigate the enemy's situation, but no one has come back until now......"

Zhao Xin was shocked, and then looked at the current position of the army, and his heart was half cold. He raised his throat and yelled, "Quick! All the troops are out! The army changes formations, the rear army becomes the front army, retreat to the south, retreat to the south! ”

Zhao Xin, who has always been calm, looked a little hysterical at the moment. In front of him is a boundless plain, 50,000 horses on the back of the golden water, there is no danger in front of them, if an enemy army appears here, take advantage of the situation to surround them......

As soon as Zhao Xin's order was given, the army immediately moved. Despite the days of travel, the soldiers still dragged their tired bodies and quickly retreated north. However, Zhao Xin's order was still late. As soon as the army moved, an arrow with a shuddering roar pierced the silence of the night sky. Immediately afterwards, on the slopes of the hills on the east, west, and north, among the dense and cascading low trees, torches suddenly lit up, one, two, and even a thousand, like stars, scorching and dazzling.

"Hit the mark!" Zhao Xinxin trembled, and felt a piercing chill spread from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. These Southern Prison Army were also in turmoil at this time, and the mood of uneasiness and fear made the morale of this army that had traveled long distances and was physically difficult to support in vain, and the soldiers stared at the front in disbelief, the soldiers of the Southern Prison Army who had been in battle for a long time. At this time, they all knew that they had been ambushed.

It's just a few days of hard work, and the offensive and defensive momentum has been completely changed, and the hard work of a few days ago was that they besieged Zhang Yejun, and now they have become themselves again.

The turtle in the urn, does it look like a king?

Zhao Xin's face was a little dark, and his hair was flying in the rain, which made his heart glow with boundless distress.

Thousands of torches moved forward like a swarm of flying fireflies, and the distance between the two armies was less than a thousand steps. "Which part of this is this?" Zhao Xin's eyes were bloodshot, like a beast suddenly trapped in a cage, roaring uneasily.

"General, while the enemy's foothold is not stable and there is no time to set up a formation, the last general will ask for orders and lead the Hug battalion to disperse them!" A leader on his horse shouted loudly.

Zhao Xin hesitated. Nodding his head, he said, "Okay, you go, remember, you can't do anything and go back." Although he was encircled, a leader still didn't care, and laughed when he heard this: "The general will look at the end of the general to take the head of the enemy general, and kill him on his back!" ”

After speaking, one of the leaders turned around and shouted: "Humbler battalion, get on the horse!" Formation! Hearing this, the well-trained cavalrymen turned over and stepped onto their horses, and they soon formed a cone-shaped attack formation beside the official road, and the five hundred horses unsheathed their steel knives, and the long knives in their hands were shining with cold light, exuding a formidable murderous aura, and staring at the approaching enemy troops on the opposite side without saying a word. A leader with a fierce glint in his eyes, raised his long sword, and shouted: "Brothers, break up their ranks, cut off the heads of the enemy generals, and come back to celebrate!" Rush! After saying that, a leader urged the horse to rush out first, and the five hundred cavalry roared violently in unison: "Charge!" Then he followed a leader, and the five hundred men and horses still maintained an attack formation while running, like a huge arrow, and inexorably rushed towards the enemy army on the opposite side.

The sound of horses' hooves, like spring thunder, was majestic, and the five hundred cavalry were like an arrow that shot out, with an invincible fearlessness and self-confidence, and swept overwhelmingly towards the enemy army a thousand paces away. The spearmen and shield soldiers at the head of the platoon flashed to the sides in a hurry, vacating a piece of open space in front of the front, and then thousands of archers quickly filled their positions, and then opened their bows and arrows, arrows pointed obliquely, and began round after round of projectiles to the sky. One of the leader's 500 men and horses was immediately frustrated, and men were shot off their horses until they were still more than 400 paces away from the enemy.

The offensive formation of the 500 cavalry has become incomplete, and the charge of more than 1,000 paces has not yet officially engaged the enemy, and the Huhammed battalion has lost nearly 100 men and horses. The leader of the Hugh battalion rushed to the front, he didn't dare to look back, the five hundred cavalry of the Hugh battalion was his heart, and he had always been invincible, among the soldiers and horses in the South Prison, the Hug Battalion had always been considered a sharp knife in the hands of General Zhao.

As early as when he was in the Southern Prison, Liu Fa and Qin Tianzhao did not deal with each other, and Liu Fa also knew very well in his heart that if he passed away in the future, Qin Tianzhao would not be able to tolerate him, and he would be cautious in order for him to live, so he knew Qin Tianzhao well, and he was quite familiar with it, but Qin Tianzhao did not regard Liu Fa as an enemy, so today Zhao Xin met a strong enemy, Qing Yunfei knew him very well, but he didn't even know who was opposite.

Who the hell is this? The little leader thought hard, the other party seemed to know General Zhao's method of marching and arranging, and he had already prepared, spears, shields, bows and arrows were at the head of the line, which was clearly aimed at the formation laid out by the cavalry of his Hugh battalion, and before he got close, the Hug battalion killed more than a thousand people, which was really a big blow to a leader. At this moment, a leader only had the sound of whirring wind in his ears, and vaguely heard the screams of the cavalry who followed him constantly falling off their horses, and the brothers died behind him one by one, and a leader could only grit his teeth and lie on the back of his horse, protecting himself as much as possible in the run.
