When Liu Heng led his headquarters army to rush to Yingcheng to help, Qin Xufei did not go out of the city to greet him.

At this time, he was still sleeping.

After a big battle, a rapid march of four days and four nights, followed by another big battle, even the body of iron and stone could not hold it in the end.

The surviving Qin army, looking back on it afterwards, also felt that they could not believe that they could defeat the enemy in one battle after four days of rapid marching.

In fact, Qin Xufei just knows that he is suffering. At that time, everyone was exhausted after four days of galloping, and if everyone was allowed to rest at that time, everyone would have completely collapsed, and it would take at least a day or two to recover.

At that time, once fatigue is allowed to erupt, it can only be slaughtered by the enemy. Therefore, he had to forcibly arouse the enthusiasm and courage of the soldiers, and use his own example to lead everyone to capture Yingcheng in one go.

They won very riskily. If the guards are strong-willed enough, even if they can't be defeated, but there are many of them, as long as they slowly consume and persist in not retreating, they can drag their army to death.

knew that it was a risk, but Qin Xufei had no choice. He only gambled, and only by putting all his bets on the guards who were constantly fighting for power and profit, and looting and accumulating excessively, he would not have the iron and blood to fight them stubbornly.

This time, he won the bet again.

After suffering setbacks, numerous casualties, and the fact that the Lord would be killed, the guard, which was ten times their number, was so frightened by their murderous ferocity that they scattered in all directions.

Qin Xufei's whole body was loosened, where did he still have the strength to pursue the fleeing enemy, and scatter to encircle and suppress. He almost didn't even have the strength to order the people in the city to clean up the battlefield, so he immediately ordered to enter the city.

When fighting, the Qin army was brave and unmatched. Not afraid of fatigue, not afraid of death, but this battle is over. All the exhaustion and pain were aroused, and someone fainted from the horse and fell down. Some people can still stay awake, but their legs are stiff and they can't get off the horse.

Even those who barely got off the horse couldn't even stand on their feet.

After entering the city, he transferred a hundred men to take charge of the city's defense. Just this hundred. It's also difficult to barely stand up straight, and it's still possible to sleep in shifts to support.

The others, on the other hand, rested without caring about anything.

At this time, if there is another army to attack, it will probably be able to take Yingcheng without much effort. Fortunately, at this time, the guards were so brave that they could only flee, but no one had the courage to turn back.

Liu Heng took the cavalry of his headquarters and came in a hurry. It was still two days late to arrive. And when he saw the ground, it was still a bleak scene.

A thriving city full of dilapidated houses. After the fire, there was a tragic scene, and every household was crying. Every street. There are numb, dazed, and dull-eyed people.

Such a tragic scene is due to the timely arrival of their army to drive away the guards. Otherwise. This entire Ying City, I am afraid that in the end, like the other cities that the guards have passed, will become a dead city.

The soldiers who followed Qin Xufei had not yet recovered, and many of them were still seizing every minute of free time to sleep, completely neglecting to treat their injuries.

The soldiers stood here and there, barely standing up straight and saluting him. Everyone looked haggard, all of them lost a lot of weight, and many of them had injuries that had not been properly treated.

Liu Heng looked sad: "The people I brought will immediately change guards with you, and everyone will rest and ......."

Everyone looked happy and thanked them.

"Where is Your Highness?"

"Your Highness is still sleeping, I'll lead the general to ......"

"Still sleeping?" Liu Heng frowned slightly.

"Since entering the city, those of us who are soldiers can still take shifts to rest, but His Highness can't even breathe, so he has to arrange the empty defense in the city, appease the people in the city, mobilize in the city to find doctors, and try to raise food and grass in the city, and we have been busy for a long time before we have time to rest, so until now, I haven't woken up......"

Liu Heng nodded silently, didn't speak, followed the soldiers, and walked to the looted Taishou Mansion, outside the bedroom at the back, he saw two soldiers who were still fighting in front of the door, waved his hand gently, and let the people he brought change guards with them, and then he carefully pushed the door in.

Qin Xufei was still sleeping peacefully in the room, as if he didn't know that his friend was coming.

Liu Heng slowly walked to the side of the bed and looked at Qin Xufei's obviously thin face.

These days, too busy and tired. The other person was very thin, and the wheel corridor of the whole face was much deeper, and the facial features were as deep as a knife and axe.

Liu Heng sat down slowly, looking at Qin Xufei's face full of untidy beard, and looking at the four or five wounds on Qin Xufei's body that were casually bandaged, and his heart felt sad for a while.

It's been a hard time for them these days.

It seems that it is a series of victories, always winning more with less, and being brave and good at fighting, which is enough to praise the world, however, Liu Heng knows deeply that this is not a good phenomenon.

The fact that they are outnumbered can only show that they have always been at a disadvantage at the level of land strategy. Winning more with less time and again, to put it bluntly, it is all based on the speed of the cavalry, the martial arts of Qin Xu's enclave, and the ambition polished by their army in a hundred battles.

However, it has never been strange and good, and it can be called good, but how can it always be this way of playing?

No matter how lucky you are, there will always be a day when you miss the table. And their current gambling method is that as long as they lose once, they will be doomed.

How can a good army always let the commander charge into battle? However, this is not because of greed, not because of showing off bravery, but just because of helplessness.

The four countries attacked the Qin State in a big way, with a total of more than 800,000 soldiers and horses, and in their hands, they were only about 100,000 people.

Except for the Yan Kingdom, all countries are divided into troops to attack, and everywhere they pass, most of them are burning, killing and plundering, although they want to fight steadily, move forward slowly, and drive away these foreign armies step by step, but they know that the people are miserable, and they really can't feel at ease and slowly try to do it.

had no choice but to divide the elite troops to attack, and had to continue to attack the crowd with a small number to obstruct the armies of all sides. If it weren't for the fact that their army was really strong enough, the generals would all be excellent. With this desperate tactic, they had already let the enemy encircle and chase them, and they broke them one by one.

They are too few people. And it's hard to get supplements. The local young and strong people of the Qin State almost all let the King of Qin enlist in the army. King Qin was very willing to let the army cooperate with Qin Xufei. Or even merge. However, this time......

Where did Qin Xufei dare to let King Qin's henchmen and generals lead troops into his army.

I don't dare to count on them to help, as long as they don't get pulled back, as long as they can provide them with enough food and grass to carry their burden. Qin Xufei was very satisfied.

However, even this, Qin Xufei couldn't get it. Many times, because of the problem of grain and grass, Qin Xufei had to give up the strategy of attacking the whole army, and could only choose a small number of elite soldiers to attack quickly.

After all, since Qin Xufei's successive victories, the military style of various countries has become even more brutal and crazy, and they have occupied one place before. It's just looting, and now, it's almost a slaughter. Take away everything you can. All the things that can't be taken are burned and burned on the land of Qin. The army of the Qin State was cleared of the wilderness. Qin Xufei attacked all the way. They continued to recapture the cities occupied by the nations, but they could not get enough food and grass. Not the surviving people are unwilling to give. It's that they're already poor. In order to give the soldiers who were seriously injured and unconscious, and the wounded soldiers who were difficult to enter the water and rice, and have one more chance of surviving, the young woman even endured the shame, ruthlessly left her relatives and children who were still breastfeeding, and squeezed out her own milk to feed them, but she could not find a scoop of white rice from the rice jar at home to give them this army.

In the cities that have not been occupied, and in the areas under the control of King Qin, there is certainly food, but it is naturally more difficult to send it to Qin Xufei through the blockade of various countries, not to mention, even if there is a chance to do it, will King Qin be willing to invest a large amount of military strength and pay a huge sacrifice to send food to his third brother, who is most afraid?

In any case, Qin Xufei didn't dare to count on this. Fortunately, the front line is tight now, even if King Qin wants to drag them back and let them consume more strength, he doesn't dare to come out. If the food and grass are not enough, Qin Xufei dares to raise his sword to kill people, and if he kills, King Qin will not come forward to seek any justice for the killed officials.

After slashing several local officials, they finally had intermittent logistical support, but they were always overstretched and inadequate.

So, time and time again, they were forced to fight the hardest wars without a small amount of military strength. The sergeants were able to survive to this point, not only because they were elite soldiers who had been trained on the battlefield countless times, but also because their commanders, their generals, had done something so that they had nothing to complain about.

In every battle, the coach always rushes to the forefront, and the coach always takes the most responsibility for the greatest danger. The situation forced Qin Xufei to go to the battlefield again and again, from beginning to end, to bear the pressure of the entire frontal attack.

In the incredible victories again and again, in the overloaded battles, he completely maintained the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the army with his personal bravery and prestige.

The soldiers don't understand the reason why the boss shouldn't charge into battle, and they just judge whether their lives are worth it based on the boss's behavior......

It's just that no matter how strong a person is, he is only a person, not a god. When the strength is always exhausted, it has been tense and held on......

Liu Heng sighed deeply, but he felt powerless.

Such a non-stop campaign, a non-stop rush, is too much of a burden on the individual and on the entire army, but they have to do it.

How could the army of the Qin State be so incompetent and useless now? Even if back then, the elite of the whole country were blocked out of the country, within the Chu State, but in the past few years, the King of Qin has been recruiting strong men, why can't he train a decent soldier?

Why is it that as long as the foreign army is beaten, they either abandon the city or scatter and flee, why can't they even hold out for a few more days and share some pressure for them!

Their army, running in all directions, saving the dead, could not get a moment of rest.

This time, why did Qin Xufei only attack Yingcheng with 800 cavalry for four days, not when he was fighting with the most elite army of Wu State, but he received an urgent document from Yingcheng, claiming that if there was no army to help, Yingcheng would be broken in a few days, and according to the current code of conduct of the guards, if the city is broken, the city will be looted and burned within three or five days. That's what happened to nearly 100,000 people.

Therefore, Qin Xufei had just broken the Wu army, and he shouted on the battlefield: "But there are still people who can fight, but there are still people who dare to die?" ”

The brave sergeants, struggling to their feet in a pool of blood, stood straight in front of him.

Qin Xufei gritted his teeth, his eyes were red, and he picked and picked, so he could only pick less than nine hundred soldiers who were barely seriously injured, and were strong and firm enough, and he personally led them to travel in a hurry for four days and break through a city.

It seems that he has calculated everything, calculated that after the guards break the city, they will definitely divide the largest main army to advance to the capital, and the guards know that they only have 800 people, and they are very tired, and they will definitely go out of the city to fight, and they will use himself as bait, and no one resists this temptation.

Yes, another miraculous victory, and a good story enough to be passed on to posterity, but so what? Is it just going to be risky again and again?

In this way, again and again, with those warriors who shed blood and sweat for the country, they came to fight hard and die, watching them being cut to a blur by the enemy's sword mountain and sword forest, and watching them be beaten to limb by the enemy's rolling stones.

On that day, the Chen army was forced to give up the attack on Qin, and the whole army retreated to China, but of the five hundred warriors, only twenty or thirty survived.

Today, with 900 horsemen, it is amazing to build a world-shattering feat, but in the end, only 227 people survived!

Time and time again, Qin Xufei, who personally sent them to death, what was in his heart?

How long can he hold on to such a heavy burden?

Liu Heng only felt grief in his heart, and sat beside Qin Xufei's bed in a daze, but a low-voiced report sounded outside the door: "General Liu, there is a military report......"

Liu Heng got up, opened the door, took the military newspaper, opened it and looked at it, he was stunned at first, and then snorted angrily.

A weak but clear call came from behind him: "Ah Heng, what's the matter?" ”

Liu Heng turned around: "You woke up early?" ”

Qin Xufei smiled and didn't say anything. He has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he has a strange ability to perceive, even in his sleep, he also instinctively perceives the outside world. Knowing that a friend with a familiar aura has come to his side, he can continue to fall asleep, but as long as there is any slight change outside, he can immediately sense it and wake up immediately.

For a general, this can be regarded as a good habit, at least he is not afraid of being robbed by the camp and robbed, and he is not afraid of being assassinated.

Liu Heng approached the past and handed over the military report: "I really don't understand, we have only been locked out of the country for a few years, why is the domestic army incapable of this, you can't care about this matter anymore." Otherwise, you don't let the enemy kill you, and you have to let your own people die of exhaustion. ”

Qin Xufei silently took it, opened it, smiled bitterly, and was about to say something, when there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside.

"What's the matter?" Qin Xufei raised his voice and asked.

"Report, the head of Jiangning Province urgently asks for help."

"Report, Yongding City Feishu is in an emergency......

"Report, Jingshui Pass has been besieged by the Yan army, and the main general sent his henchmen to break out of the siege and come to our army for help, and they are waiting outside the city at this moment......"

"Report ......"

Liu Heng's face gradually turned pale, gritted his teeth, and said hatefully: "These scumbags." ”

Qin Xufei closed his eyes, and after a while, he let out a long sigh.

"Jingshui Pass, Yongding City, one west and one north, but they are all capital barriers. Jiangning Road leads directly to the Caoyun ...... If they are all broken, they can wave their troops and go straight to the Jingshi. Ah Heng, that is the fundamental place of the country, where the ancestral temple is located, how can I not care. ”
