"Everyone, let's work hard, we will soon reach the fourteen ditches in front. The general was stationed in fifteen ditches, but there were still more than a dozen miles to go. A man shouted from top of a crowd of galloping horses.

"General Shen Zhong, you can rest assured, our five thousand cavalry is not given for nothing. In less than two quarters of an hour, we will definitely be able to reach fifteen ditches. A soldier next to him replied with a smile.

It turned out that these galloping cavalry were the people brought by Shen Zhong. The cavalry behind him were reinforcements sent by the imperial court. This time, the imperial court sent 20,000 reinforcements, and they arrived in the state city at dusk today. At that time, Shen Zhong had already learned about the eighteen ditches, and when he was in a hurry, he couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw the reinforcements coming. After arranging for these people to eat, Shen Zhong took these 20,000 people towards the fifteen ditches.

The infantry did not move so fast, all in the rear. The cavalry was fast, and Shen Zhong had always been worried about the situation on Shen Hongjun's side, so the five thousand cavalry, beating horses and galloping, came quickly all the way towards the fifteen ditches. However, after all, this journey was not short, and it was dark at night, and they set out from the state city at the beginning of the year, and they had not yet reached the fourteen ditches at the beginning of the year.

"General, the situation ahead is not right. It seems that on the other side of the fourteen ditches, there are Dongyi people who come to sneak attack. At present, it seems that there are not a few guard sergeants left in the fourteen ditches. "There was a scout horse galloping back in front of him to report the situation.

"Quick, hurry up and have a look." When Shen Zhong heard this, he was in a hurry, and he couldn't help but whip the horse fiercely. The horse was in pain, spread its hooves, and rushed out. The people behind them also rushed forward quickly.

Sure enough, a moment later, the situation ahead was unfolded. At the entrance of Shishidaogou Village, many soldiers were in a melee. The clothes on Dongyi's side are different from those of Da Zhou, and it is easy to see. At this moment, there are less than two hundred soldiers left in Da Zhou, and there are probably four or five hundred Dongyi soldiers on the opposite side.

"Leave a thousand people behind and destroy all these Dongyi dogs. The rest of you, follow me to Fifteen Ditches at once. When Shen Zhong saw this, he hurriedly ordered. What he was most worried about was that the fifteen ditches were also attacked, and if that happened, Shen Hongjun would be in danger.

Shen Zhong's order was handed down, and immediately a large group of cavalry rushed towards the Dongyi soldiers over there. Most of the rest of the people galloped on horseback, all the way to the fifteen ditches.

On the night of the third day of the new year, the moon is almost invisible. Fortunately, the land is covered with snow, and the white expanse is somewhat able to see some conditions. Shen Zhong led the people all the way to run wildly, and it took about a moment to do it, and he heard the shouting and killing in front of him from a distance. Shen Zhong's heart sank, and sure enough, this side was also attacked, but he didn't know what happened to the general.

"Quick, the general is in danger." Shen Zhong shouted anxiously.

Shen Hongjun had a horizontal sword in front of him, barely holding the long knife that fell from the person in front of him. It's just that he was already weak, and his arms were also sore, and he was staggered back by the fierce blow of the person opposite.

Shen Hongjun and Yun Xue were originally back-to-back enemies, and as soon as Shen Hongjun retreated like this, Yun Xue could naturally feel it. Yun Xue also has no strength at this moment, but the sword in her hand is extremely sharp, and she can barely parry. "Zhiyuan, how are you?"

"No, I can't even lift my arms. Cher, it seems that today, you and I are really going to die here together. Shen Hongjun smiled bitterly.

"Death is death, what's the big deal? With you by your side, there is no resentment when you die. Yun Xue barely pulled out a smile. At this point, it is useless to think about anything, "If there is an afterlife, I will be your wife." Yun Xue sighed.

Suddenly, the earth shook, and then I heard a rumbling sound in the distance. There is only one possibility that this kind of sound and vibration can be formed in the snow, and that is a large number of cavalry.

Shen Hongjun thought of this, and couldn't help but perk up, "Xue'er, we won't die, it's the reinforcements that have arrived." Then, Shen Hongjun shouted loudly, "Brothers, our reinforcements have arrived, the big guy cheers up, we can't die." ”

Before Shen Hongjun's words fell, a large number of horses could already be seen galloping towards him in the west. It seemed that in just a few breaths, the cavalry came closer.

By this time, there were about 100 soldiers left in the Great Zhou, and there were many casualties among the young and strong people in the village. But at this moment, hope was rekindled in people's hearts, and they couldn't help cheering at the galloping cavalry. "Oh, that's great, we're fine." Everyone shouted, but the weapons in their hands did not forget to slash towards the opposite side.

And those soldiers in Dongyi have no heart to fight anymore at this moment. Now, there are less than a thousand of them left, and many of them are wounded. This is the worst battle they have fought since they sent their troops. Obviously, there were more than 3,000 people, but they were beaten by four or five hundred people here, and in the end, there were not even 1,000 people. These soldiers of the Great Zhou are simply too difficult, if Gao Li's soldiers are also like the Great Zhou, how can they capture the entire Gao Li? Seeing that these people on the other side were about to die, they didn't expect the other party to come to reinforcements.

"Retreat." Someone shouted. Then the soldiers of Dongyi didn't care about anything, turned around and ran.

It's a pity, at this time, how can they let them run away? The cavalry had already come to the front, and the weapons in their hands were like the sickles of death, quickly harvesting the lives of the Dongyi soldiers. And the soldiers on the side of the Great Zhou also tried their best to entangle the enemy and prevent them from escaping like this.

The battle ended quickly, and it didn't take long for all of these Dongyi soldiers to fall. Shen Zhong looked around, and finally saw Shen Hongjun, hurriedly dismounted, and came to Shen Hongjun's face, "General, your subordinates should be damned, it's too late." Shen Zhong looked at Shen Hongjun and Yun Xue, who were covered in blood on the opposite side, and was sad.

Shen Hongjun smiled slightly, "It's not too late, it's just right." Shen Hongjun's body shook for a while, and it was not easy to stand firm. You hurry up and let people go to the sixteen ditches, I'm afraid it's dangerous over there. ”

The battle was so fierce here, but the fourteenth and sixteenth ditches did not come to the rescue. Shen Hongjun already knew in his heart that he was afraid that several nearby villages would not be spared tonight. During the day, the seventeen ditches had been withdrawn to the county seat. The guards on the other side of the seventeen ditches all converged in the sixteen ditches, and if there was nothing wrong, they should have come to the rescue a long time ago, but they haven't appeared yet, which proves that there is a situation.

When Shen Zhong heard this, he immediately gave an order, and asked a few generals to bring two thousand people, and immediately rushed to the Sixteen Ditch.

Shen Zhong stepped forward and hugged Shen Hongjun, "General, you better hurry up and rest." ”

Shen Hongjun pulled Yun Xue's hand, and the two of them staggered, unable to even walk steadily. "Clean up the battlefield immediately, look at our people, those who are wounded, quickly carry them all to the camp, and immediately find a way to heal them."

"Don't worry, general." Shen Zhong nodded. Then the people next to him came over and helped Yun Xue and Shen Hongjun. At this time, there is no way to say that men and women are not kissed, Yunxue can't walk anymore, no one is holding it, and she is about to collapse to the ground.

"What about Yunzhen? What about Tianfu? And Yuqi, how are they? Yun Xue was supported by others, but she refused to go back to rest, she looked around, trying to find her relatives. Yunzhen, Tianfu, Yuqi, where are you? Yun Xue shouted loudly.

"Eldest sister, I'm here, I'm okay? Tianfu was also here, he was injured and already unconscious. Not far away, a man covered in blood waved his hand at Yun Xue, it was Yun Zhen.

Seeing her younger brother, Yun Xue's heart was a little more stable, and her originally tense nerves were relaxed at this time. Yun Xue felt that it was dark in front of her, and then she didn't know anything.

When Yunxue woke up, she was already in Shen Hongjun's barracks, she was lying on the kang with Shen Hongjun by her side. The two men lay there side by side, holding hands.

"Eldest sister, you're finally awake." Next to him, Yun Ni let out a sigh of relief.

Yun Xue turned her head and saw Yun Ni sitting beside her, "Are you okay?" She opened her mouth to speak, but found her voice hoarse and had difficulty speaking.

"It's all right, Third Brother Shen just woke up, was fed medicine by me, and has fallen asleep again. The second brother was lightly injured and was nothing serious. Tianfu was seriously injured, but he was also saved. Yuqi's cousin and Tianfu are together, and the injury is not light. Nearly 170 of those soldiers were killed, more than 50 were seriously wounded, and the rest were not lightly wounded. Of the people in the village, seventeen died, and the rest were all seriously injured. Yun Ni Yuqi said to Yun Xue heavily.

"Just now, Shen Zhong has already gone to the town and invited Lang Zhong, and the military doctor who accompanied the army is behind, so it is almost time to arrive. I took some women from the village with me to treat the wounds of the wounded and boil medicine and so on. Yunni said as she brought a bowl of medicine.

"Sister, drink the medicine and get a good night's sleep. Reinforcements have arrived, so we don't have to be afraid of anything. When you get well, we'll all move to the state city, and we can't keep anyone here. Yunni helped Yunxue up, and then fed her to drink the medicine.

Yun Xue drank the medicine in a few sips, and then lay down again. Yun Xue only felt sleepy, so she barely cheered up and asked, "Yun Ting and Yun Lei Yunxia are okay?" And Splendid, how is she? Are the children frightened? Is anyone watching them? "Yun Xue is most worried about her younger siblings.

"Don't worry, Yunting and they are all good, we have been hiding in the canyon behind the village, and they are all fine. Later, Shen Zhong led someone to find us, and he had already sent a few small ones home, and Grandpa Zhong and Grandma Zhong were with us at home. My sister-in-law is here and helps me make medicine. Yun Ni told Yun Xue about the situation at home.

Yun Xue was relieved, closed her eyes, and gradually fell asleep. "Everyone, let's work hard, we will soon reach the fourteen ditches in front. The general was stationed in fifteen ditches, but there were still more than a dozen miles to go. A man shouted from top of a crowd of galloping horses.

"General Shen Zhong, you can rest assured, our five thousand cavalry is not given for nothing. In less than two quarters of an hour, we will definitely be able to reach fifteen ditches. A soldier next to him replied with a smile.
