Now they can no longer be regarded as human beings, they are evil ghosts, and they are the souls left behind in the world by the Qin Dynasty!

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the food is running out, so they are about to be unable to survive, maybe they are the last generation, the lonely ghosts stationed here.

Meng Shouxin clearly knew that, like them, the Huns should not be able to hold on. The land of China is like a piece of fat in front of a group of hungry wolves.

When they come again, it will not be the same as before, just a small scale of temptation and harassment, and this time it will definitely be out of the nest. Meng Shouxin walked out of his tent and walked to the place where the weapons were stored, the earliest bronze weapons had long been rusted, and most of the usable ones now were captured from the Huns.

Right away... Soon they will be like beggars, armed with tattered weapons, to fight against tens of thousands of Huns. And there were no reinforcements behind them, only the Xia Dynasty defenders who might backstab them.

Despair slowly enveloped his eyes, and he silently walked around the camp, his gaze brushing over the faces of the sleeping and vigil warriors.

"Brother."

A soft call sounded behind him, and he didn't need to look back, just by the voice he could guess the identity of the person behind him, it was his younger brother Meng Shouyi.

"Shouyi, didn't you let people go deep into the territory of the Xiongnu to find out their movements?" Meng Shouxin frowned and asked.

"I've been, brother, I want to talk to you, go to you or go to mine?"

"Let's go, go to my tent." Meng Shouxin nodded, and walked towards his tent with his younger brother, in fact, he probably guessed what his younger brother was going to say.

Meng Shouyi is an out-and-out fugitive, since he was a child, he did not agree with leading the remaining soldiers, and he stayed here without anyone or ghosts, and now that the war is imminent, he must have persuaded himself to leave.

"Sss As soon as he entered the tent, Meng Shouyi shivered, and he sat cross-legged by the brazier, his frozen hands on the fire and roasted them.

"How's it going?" Meng Shouxin handed his brother a cup of hot water and asked.

Meng Shouyi took the hot water, poured it violently regardless of the high temperature, and then spit out a cloud of white mist, looked at Meng Shouxin solemnly and said: "Brother, this ghost weather is so abnormal, it is estimated that it will last for a long time, and it may get colder and colder in the future." I led people to the territory of the Huns, but I found nothing, it seems that the Huns are beginning to gather. Several camps have been abandoned, and I am afraid that I will not be able to come back further down, so I rushed back alone to report the situation to you. Your guess is right, the Huns are going to make a big move. ”

"Got it, you go and inform and get ready for battle."

"Ready? Prepare something, dig your own grave? Brother, we've been in this hellish place for generations, and it's enough. Do you really bear to let everyone die with you? Now there are only two ways to go, either to sneak attack the defenders of the Xia Dynasty, march from Yangshan to Yinshan, and flee from Taiyuan to Hedong to the Central Plains. Either surrender to the Xiongnu and attack the Xia Dynasty with them. ”

"Huh? Surrender to the Huns? Why don't you say surrender to the Xia Dynasty? Meng Shouxin looked at his younger brother speechlessly with a shocked expression, he never dreamed that his brother would say such a thing.

Meng Shouyi's face turned gloomy, and he whispered, "Brother, don't you think I haven't thought about it?" I once secretly contacted Xia Jun, but the other party did not accept our surrender. ”

"You!" After Meng Shouxin heard his brother's words, he was immediately furious, and he couldn't say a word, and only after a while did he sneer: "Then how do you know that the Huns will accept our surrender?" ”

Meng Shouyi gritted his teeth, and his face was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Let's tell you the truth, brother, I actually went to the hinterland of the Huns and was captured. The people who are with me have been detained, and the other party doesn't want to waste their strength on us, so let me convince you to surrender and attack the Xia Dynasty together. ”

"What did you say?" Meng Shouxin was stunned, and then pulled out his scimitar and threw it at Meng Shouyi, his eyes full of murderous aura. "You brute! Get the hell out of here! What face do you have to go to your fathers and fathers? The sacrifices of several generations of our people, is it possible that you want to burn them all? ”

Meng Shouyi shrewdly hid to the side, his face was full of grief and indignation, two lines of tears flowed, and he asked sadly: "Am I a beast?" Aren't you? From the moment we began to feed our fellow citizens, we were demons! We're not even as good as animals, aren't we? Everyone is following you, no one is a ghost, are you really going to drag everyone to a dead end? Do you know what everyone thinks in private? Do you know how big this time is? After I was captured, I learned that this time almost all the tribes will participate in the battle, Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qian, Qiang, Di, etc., this time we are no longer facing the temptation of hundreds of thousands of people, but millions of troops! Once they come, do you think our people still have the courage to fight? Leave a way for everyone to survive, do you know how many people have approached me in private and tried to escape? In fact, everyone wants to leave! The only one who really wants to stay is you! ”

If what his brother said was true, then when the army arrived, his less than 2,000 people would be like grass, and they would be trampled by the ruthless Hu people in an instant, like stones falling into the sea, unable to set off a single wave.

"Brother, we are not an army for a long time, we are more like an abandoned tribe, who do you think the military order can bind? No one trusts you, supports you, and pays for you unconditionally because of any military order! It's just because we grew up together, and the only thing that connects us all together is family affection, and everyone supports you in the hope that you can lead everyone to live, that's all. ”

"Enough!" Meng Shouxin closed his eyes painfully, and said hoarsely and in a low voice: "Shouyi, I keep your faith and you keep your righteousness, you will tell everyone the real situation, if anyone wants to fight to survive, no matter what path you choose, you can take them with you." ”

"Brother, let's go together."

"Needless to say, even if I am left alone, when the Huns come, I will rush forward without hesitation."

From the next day, people began to leave the camp one after another, and there was no goodbye, no retention, only endless silence. Those who left did not speak, and those who stayed did not speak, and everyone was silent with different expressions and concerns.

In the end, it was decided that there were less than 200 people left, and what the situation of the mantis arm blocking the car might be seen soon. Meng Shouyi poured a sip of spirits, called the rest of the people, and together they stored it and buried the remains of their companions in the ground.

It's coming to an end, it's time for the dead to be buried with dignity, and now there's no need to worry about what to do in the future. After the mass funeral, Meng Shouxin took out all the food and liquor and distributed it to everyone, eating and drinking to their heart's content, and enjoying the last carnival together.

Later, in the quiet of the night, the cold wind suddenly stopped, and the increasingly cold weather rarely had a trace of recovery, and before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the earth suddenly began to shake, and the roar came from afar like a mountain and a sea, and there was no trace of it, but the sound could be heard.

Meng Shouxin stood up from the fire, moved his stiff body, and picked up the tattered shield and Changge, which was three times taller than himself. These ancient weapons are decaying, and it seems as if they will turn into ashes at the touch of it.

The more than 100 people who stayed behind did not choose to capture the more sophisticated weapons, but chose the weapons left by their ancestors, put on Qin armor, raised their shields, and took Changge.

Although the number is scarce, only more than a hundred, after the military formation is over, it is as if the invincible Qin army that once swept through the six countries is still alive.

"Beat the drums!"

"Beat the drums!"

"Beat the drums!"

"Prepare to attack!"

"Prepare to attack!"

"Prepare to attack!"

The military order was constantly recited in the ranks, and the drummers at the back of the line began to beat the war drums, and the dense drums seemed to beat on the hearts of the people, and their hearts began to beat violently with the drums.

"Shoot!"

The team in the first row began to shoot at the dense black shadows in the north, and the team in the second row collectively lay on the ground, propped up the Qin crossbow with both hands and feet, and waited for the comrades around them to put the crossbow arrows, and shot out one after another.

The rain of arrows shot out the few arrows that seemed to sink into the sea, and did not cause much disturbance to the enemy on the opposite side.

Meng Shouxin led the team with shields and Changge in the rear to the front of the line, and asked his comrades who had just shot to get up and adjust their equipment.

The dark shadow not far away was approaching, closer, closer. Meng Shouxin finally saw the millions of Xiongnu troops clearly, and the appearance of the 600,000 Qin troops that he had not been able to sketch in his mind finally formed a portrait in his mind at this time.

He turned his head to look at his comrades-in-arms, and found that they were all pale and trembling slightly, and the only thing that remained firm was their eyes.

"Brothers, let us fight bloodily today to end this centuries-long perseverance, we are not ashamed of our ancestors, we are not ashamed of our ancestors! Let's fight to our heart's content, and then let's go to Huangquan together! ”

Meng Shouxin tightened the shield and Changge in his hand, closed his eyes in despair, and quietly waited for the moment when the shield broke and died.

"Gale! Gale! Gale! ”

Only loud slogans echoed him, tears blurred Meng Shouxin's eyes, he suddenly regretted it at the moment, how much he hoped that these people in front of him did not accompany him to make stupid mistakes, how much he hoped that they could abandon him like his younger brother.

His own life is insignificant and even a pity to die, but to see this, the comrades-in-arms who have accompanied him through the difficult years, are dying together today, and he suddenly feels a little unbearable.

Suddenly, another voice sounded in the other direction, interrupting his thoughts, and he could still hear it as his brother's voice without looking at him.

"All the troops are in formation!"

"Charge!"
