"......I'm fighting with you," shouted the soldiers of the Fire Cavalry Regiment and rushed to the line of guns.

"Ah......h

"Woo ......"

Knights and horses were stabbed and fell, and then the spear was still unhurriedly pushed forward, and the fallen men and horses were soon trampled into pulp.

An adjutant asked Xia Yong in horror, "Regiment Commander, what should I do?" ”

Xia Yong couldn't get up anymore when he saw his brothers fall in a pool of blood, there was a spear array in front and a spear array in the back, and he couldn't see any hope.

Seeing that Xia Yong still hadn't given the order, the adjutant hurriedly said: "Regiment leader, if you don't give another order, the brothers will die!" ”

There were steep slopes on both sides, the dense jungle was impossible to ride a horse through, and there were dead ends in front and behind, Xia Yong sighed: "Surrender!" ”

Woo...... Woo...... Woo......

The horn blew the sound of a fire cavalry soldier never seen on the battlefield, but the meaning of the trumpet was all too clear to them. The surviving cavalrymen of the Fire Cavalry Regiment all looked back at Xia Yong in pain, and the despair on Xia Yong's face made them no longer have the fighting spirit.

Xia Yong shouted in a trembling voice: "Brothers, get off your horse and put down your weapons, I can't watch you all confess here......"

"Commander......"

"Commander, you can't......" Many knights shed tears of pain.

Xia Yong's resolute face was filled with tears, he clenched his steel teeth tightly, slowly dismounted, threw the sword in his hand on the ground, and strode towards the rear.

Honk......

There was another brass trumpet, and the advancing pikemen immediately stopped, but the spears in their hands were still pointed at the Flame Cavalry Regiment in front of them, blocking the cavalry of the Fire Cavalry Regiment in the narrow canyon.

Long Jie took a few fierce followers and slowly walked out from the left side of the spear array, looking at Xia Yong, who was dressed in luxurious armor, and showed a victorious smile.

"I am Xia Yong, the head of the Flame Cavalry Regiment of Xia Yuan City in Wumang County of the Qingyun Empire, what is your Excellency's name!"

Long Jie looked at Xia Yong, who was still arrogant, and smiled slightly: "I am Long Jie, the commander of the third battalion of the first regiment of the Han army, Commander Xia, your subordinates have not put down their weapons yet, do we still want to continue?" ”

Xia Yong looked back at these brothers who shared life and death with him, the grief and indignation in their eyes and the blood mixed with him made him feel heartache for a while, Xia Yong took a deep breath and said loudly: "Brothers, do you still recognize me as the head of the regiment?" ”

"Commander......"

Xia Yong said bitterly: "Put down the weapon, we have no choice......

Syllable......

While......

The cavalrymen of the Fire Cavalry Regiment threw down their weapons with tears and bowed their proud heads deeply.

Long Jie looked at Xia Yong and said, "Commander Xia, our Han Army Liu Zhibang and Commander Liu have admired your name for a long time, please come with me to pay a visit!" ”

"Han Army...... Commander...... Liu Zhibang ......"

Xia Yong muttered in his mouth, looked up, and saw that where the clouds opened, a majestic mountain was even more majestic under the sunset, exuding endless majesty and light.

Xia Yong looked at the officers and subordinates standing behind him, and then looked at the high seat in the deepest part of the hall, and he really didn't want to admit that he was defeated at the hands of such a young man, but it was so, when he looked at Liu Zhibang, Liu Zhibang was also looking at him, he couldn't see any emotion in his eyes, he just looked at himself calmly, and after looking at each other for a long time, Xia Yong sighed and hung his head high.

Liu Zhibang looked at Xia Yong calmly, he could see that this officer in his early forties was proud and strong, seeing him slowly lower his head, Liu Zhibang smiled slightly and said: "Commander Xia, do you feel very aggrieved by the defeat to our Han army?" ”

Xia Yong raised his eyes and looked at Liu Zhibang, and said calmly: "Defeat is defeat, I have nothing to say, if you want to kill, you have to listen to the respect!" ”

Liu Zhibang smiled and said: "In the third year of Zhengde, Commander Xia led the Flame Cavalry Regiment to fight against the Thunder Cavalry Regiment, the elite cavalry of the Golden Light Empire, which was five times his size, killing 337 enemy soldiers, and only 36 of his own people, and finally retreated...... In the eighth year of Zhengde, Commander Xia led the Fire Dance Cavalry Regiment to intercept the rebels in Chaodong City, Wumang County, the opponent was ten times that of you, you not only defeated the rebels in that battle, but also captured the rebel bandit leader Cao Qi alive...... You have experienced more than 30 battles, and the Fire Cavalry Regiment brought out has changed the color of the neighboring Jinguang Empire, you are such a rare general, seeing that your colleagues are rising step by step, you are still standing still, is Commander Xia really willing! ”

Xia Yong raised his head violently, looked at Liu Zhibang in shock, and said, "How can you be so clear about my affairs?" ”

Liu Zhibang smiled lightly, and then said: "Xia Yong, Qi Qian, born in forty-five years, now forty-two years old, widowed, only one son, named Xia Zhuangzhuang, frail, since childhood, suffering from strange diseases without treatment, at the age of twenty, he has no strength to bind the chicken but reads poetry and books, learns through the past and the present, and repeatedly fails to try, all because he is not resistant to the rules of the examination room to submit papers regularly......"

"Liu Zhibang, it seems that you have done enough to deal with me Xia Yong......" Xia Yong was stunned and couldn't help but admire Liu Zhibang a little.

Liu Zhibang nodded slightly, and said: "The art of war is cloudy, knowing yourself and knowing that you are invincible in a hundred battles, you are the most elite army in Xia Yuancheng, it is not too much to pay more attention to you...... Commander Xia, you are a victorious general, and you must be dissatisfied with defeat in the hands of me, a fledgling boy, I can give you the opportunity to let you fight against my Han army in a dignified manner, I don't know if Commander Xia dares to fight? ”

Xia Yong asked, "Really? ”

Liu Zhibang replied seriously: "Really! ”

Xia Yong lowered his head and thought for a while, recalling the arrows like rain and the spear array like a forest, he really couldn't think of how to crack the tactics of the Han army, if he was asked to line up against the Han army again, he still had no chance of winning.

After a long time, Xia Yong raised his head and said: "No need to fight anymore, if you fight again, you will still lose, at most I can leave calmly, if I want to fight and win, it will take several times your strength, even so, the loss is unbearable, I admit defeat!" ”

Liu Zhibang nodded and said, "Okay, Head Xia, I, Liu Zhibang, like a down-to-earth man, I can give you a choice!" ”

"What choice?" Xia Yong looked at Liu Zhibang vigilantly.

Liu Zhibang pointed to two fingers and said: "The first choice, you can go home, the second choice, you join my Han army, of course, this choice also applies to your subordinates......"

"What? He is willing to let us go home, this ......" Hearing this, Xia Yong's subordinates couldn't believe this sudden happiness.

An officer under Xia Yong said: "Don't believe him, he is the leader of the bandits, his backhand is cloudy and his hand is rain, if he doesn't go his way, he will definitely die without a place to be buried......"
