More than 1,000 Han soldiers, summoned by the sound of the trumpet, poured into the open space in the middle of the village.

The open space is not very large, and there are more than 1,000 people standing, which is also quite crowded.

With his hands on his hips, Xu Huang stood on a stone stone in the clearing, looking around at the Han soldiers who were in formation in front of him.

None of the more than 1,000 Han soldiers made a sound that they shouldn't have made, and all of them looked at Xu Huang with a pair of eyes.

Frowning, Xu Huang shouted to the soldiers of the Han army: "You also know that the barbarian army is rushing here!" ”

Listening to Xu Huang's shout, the faces of the soldiers of the Han army were solemn.

Many of them had already guessed what Xu Huang would say next, but still not half of them made a sound.

There were more than a thousand people standing in the clearing, but they were so quiet that they could clearly hear even a needle dropping.

The soldiers of the Han army did not say a word, and Xu Huang, who was holding his hands on his waist, felt an unprecedented solemnity.

He had ordered the soldiers to be informed of the number of enemy troops, and every Han soldier must have known in his heart that once the two sides went to war, for them, it might be the result of no return.

And he Xu Huang is the one who wants to lead the soldiers to the ghost gate.

Thinking of this, Xu Huang's face became more and more solemn, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he shouted to the soldiers of the Han army: "Soldiers, this general knows what you are thinking in your heart!" The barbarians came seventy or eighty thousand, but our army was only a thousand or so. Seventy or eighty barbarians, fight our army alone! With such a huge contrast, our army has no reason to win! ”

Listening to Xu Huang's shout, the soldiers still didn't have half a word.

What he said, the soldiers of the Han army had already thought of it the night before, and all they wanted to hear was Xu Huang telling them why they were fighting this battle.

Turning back and pointing behind him, Xu Huang shouted to the soldiers: "Do you know where the general is pointing?" ”

Looking at the direction of Xu Huang's finger, the faces of the soldiers of the Han Army became solemn one by one.

"Over there is Yizhou!" Without waiting for any of the soldiers to respond, Xu Huang shouted to them: "After Yizhou, it is Guanzhong, and Luoyang is east of Guanzhong. Our reinforcements don't know where they are, and if they are suddenly attacked by barbarians, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

Listening to Xu Huang's words, the soldiers of the Han army clenched the handle of the knife in their hands tighter one by one.

The night before, many of them thought that this expedition might be the last expedition in their lives, but they did not expect that the barbarian army would enter Yizhou and what the consequences would be.

Lowering his arm, Xu Huang looked around at the soldiers of the Han army, and then shouted: "Once our army loses Yizhou, then Guanzhong and Henan, the entire Central Plains will be invaded by barbarians!" The barbarians don't want the land of my Central Plains, they only loot and kill! Do you want your fathers and elders to be trampled by barbarians? ”

"I don't want to!" Xu Huang's words obviously aroused the feelings of the Han soldiers and soldiers who shared the same hatred for the enemy, and more than a thousand Han soldiers raised their swords one after another, followed by a shout!

"Good!" Hearing this shout, Xu Huang straightened his waist, crossed his waist with both hands, raised his voice a lot, and shouted to the soldiers of the Han army: "There are only more than 1,000 people waiting for us. Sue General Sùben, are you waiting for a terrible death? ”

"Don't be afraid!" As soon as Xu Huang's shout fell, the soldiers of the Han army responded in unison.

"!" What the soldiers didn't expect was that when Xu Huang heard their response, he didn't open his mouth to praise, but shouted to them: "This general is afraid of death!" Don't say you wait! ”

He suddenly came up with such a sentence, which really confused the soldiers.

Many Han soldiers in the queue looked at each other, all of them with blank faces, not knowing what Xu Huang wanted to say.

"Fear of death is human nature!" Looking around at the soldiers of the Han army, Xu Huang shouted: "People will die after all, but it depends on how to die!" If we abandon our armor and run away, and are chased by the brutes and slaughtered like pigs, it will be a dead nest! Shameful death! ”

The soldiers of the Han Army present all looked at Xu Huang's body, waiting for him to continue.

Straightening his waist, Xu Huang then shouted: "If I wait to kill the enemy and die in the way of rushing to kill, even if I die, it will be for my father and fellow villagers!" For the Great Han Society! For the people of the world! Die tall and die hard! ”

Listening to these words he shouted, the soldiers of the Han army all straightened their chests a little.

When he shouted just now that he was not afraid of death, many Han soldiers had no confidence in their hearts.

As Xu Huang said, as anyone is not afraid of death!

Sometimes, though, the fear of death does not mean that death will not come, but rather makes it easier for death to find them.

"Soldiers, puff up your chests and follow General Ben into battle to kill the enemy!" The soldiers of the Han army straightened their chests one by one, although they were speechless, the look on their faces was a little more resolute, Xu Huang pulled out the long sword at his waist, pointed the tip of the sword obliquely upward, and shouted: "Get on the horse, go to battle!" ”

With Xu Huang's order, more than 1,000 Han soldiers got on their horses, riding on horseback one by one, staring at Xu Huang with their eyes, just waiting for him to lead the army out of the village.

Seeing that the soldiers were all on horseback, Xu Huang jumped off the stone, took the reins of the war horse from the hands of a personal soldier, turned over and jumped on the war horse, picked up the big axe used when fighting in battle, and shouted to the soldiers of the Han army: "Go!" ”

After giving the order, Xu Huang was the first to ride his horse towards the entrance of the village, and Shi Jian and more than a thousand Han soldiers, following closely behind him, poured out of the village.

While more than a thousand Han troops poured out of the village, the barbarian army was also advancing towards their side.

Riding on a small warhorse, leading the procession slowly was the barbarian king and his wife, who had earlier gathered the chiefs and chieftains in the cave to discuss how to deal with the Han army.

The barbarian king was born with a strong physique but a short stature, half a head shorter than ordinary Han people, let alone compared with the generals of the Han army.

As for the lady next to him, her body is fit, but her height is a big shortcoming.

Riding on a short war horse, if it is an ordinary Han woman, the war horse definitely does not show how tall and powerful the horse is, but she rides it, and the short war horse that grows in the south is as burly and strong as the Han people riding on the northern horse!

"Madam, I have sent someone to investigate the truth, the Han army is only more than a thousand people, and it is stationed in a village more than ten miles away!" Riding on horseback, the barbarian king raised his hand and pointed forward, and said to the lady beside him: "I have 70,000 or 80,000 people, but there are only more than 1,000 Han people, and this battle will definitely slaughter those Han people!" ”

Tightly frowning, Madame did not have the confidence of the barbarian king, her pretty eyes narrowed slightly, and said to the barbarian king: "You and I have been sitting in the mountains for many years, and the battle with the Han people is not one or two. In the past, when we fought with the Han people, we won and lost each other, but now the Han people have defeated our 3,000 men with only a thousand people. The king thinks that when I get to the other place, I can defeat the Han people in one fell swoop? ”

"More than 1,000 people, fighting with nearly 100,000 people, could it be that Mrs. still thinks they have a chance to win?" Madame's words made the barbarian king full of puzzlement, he stared at Madame's pretty face with a stunned face, and asked.

Madame did not respond to him immediately, and rode forward on a war horse before saying to the barbarian king: "Fight with the Han people, there should be a strategy, it is said that they have a lot of food and grass, if they are surrounded and not beaten, I am afraid that we will not be able to consume them......"

"yes!" Nodding, the barbarian king said, "Since you can't consume them, then let's go forward and fight!" ”

"What do you know?" As soon as the barbarian king's words fell, the lady turned her head and glared at him, and said angrily: "Come forward to fight, if the Han people fight to the death, won't we have to kill and injure many horses?" ”

"What do you mean by Madame......?" Obviously very afraid, after the lady's words fell, the barbarian king asked her with some hesitation.

"Force them back to the village!" The water chestnut-shaped mouth led to a faint smile, and the lady said to the barbarian king: "Once the Han army retreats to the village, we only need a fire to burn them clean!" ”

"Madame, good plan!" As soon as she finished speaking, the barbarian king opened his eyes, and he didn't want to think about how the Han army could be forced into the village so easily, so he praised and said, "I have a wife, and I am like a celestial." In this battle, the Han people will definitely be wiped out by us! ”

The barbarian king's admiration made the lady very comfortable, she glanced at the barbarian king vividly, her face was full of satisfaction, but she said: "The king is so serious, you and I lead the army to fight, but the king said such a thing!" ”

"Madame......" Madame's pretty appearance, the straight barbarian king's heart was itchy, his body was slightly crooked, he winked his eyebrows at Madame twice, muttered to the field full of weeds on the side, and laughed evilly twice.

Knowing what he wanted to do, Madame glanced behind her, and saw that the army was following behind, and few people noticed the two of them, so she whispered: "King, bear with me, I can't bear it anymore, and go to fight with the Han people, and in the evening, you and I will be happy again!" ”

A dozen miles further on, you will arrive at the small village where the Han army is stationed, and the barbarian king also knows that it is indeed not appropriate to drag his wife to the grass on the side of the road at this time, so he smiled and never mentioned this stubble again.

He laughed with his wife, and was leading the team forward, when the barbarian king suddenly heard a leader behind him who was going out with the army shouting: "King, it seems that someone is coming ahead!" ”

Hearing the leader's shout, the barbarian king hurriedly stretched his neck and looked ahead, and sure enough, he saw a billowing cloud of smoke and dust at the end of the horizon.
