Just when Jiang Qi was worried about the conquest, more than 5,000 people from Guan Yu's department, who set off in advance, crossed the Great Wall in the afternoon and arrived at the jurisdiction of the subject state Duwei, which was only forty or fifty miles away from its Qiancheng where the capital protection mansion was located.

Qiuci was originally subordinate to the Southern Xiongnu, and it was also one of the 36 countries in the Western Regions, and then attached to the Han after Banchao's expedition to the Xiongnu, when the Han Dynasty moved the attached Qiuci people to the northwest of Shangjun, and named it after its ethnic name Qiuci County.

Later, it was built on the east side of the city and placed the capital governor's mansion as a surveillance, and Ban Chao was the first protector at that time. However, although the national strength was greatly reduced and the Xiongnu were separated, Qiuzi, who was not strong, still rebelled like other Hulu.

Although the journey was very smooth along the way, Guan Yu, as the commander, did not dare to slack off for a moment, especially the desolate land and ruins that could be seen everywhere along the way, all reminding him.

After crossing the Great Wall, Guan Yu sent dozens of scout teams to patrol the 20-mile radius of the army to prevent accidents.

Not only that, just in case, Guan Yu also turned one of his Yue cavalry into two, led one by himself to open the way, and the other was led by Zhou Cang, who had just been promoted to deputy general, to delay the whole army.

、、、、Just as Guan Yu was worried, not long after the army crossed the Great Wall, he saw a knight frantically beating his horse. As the knight approached, he could clearly see blood dripping sporadically from his armor and robes.

"What's going on!!" Seeing this scene, Guan Yu didn't wait for someone to come to salute, and asked directly anxiously.

"General Qiyu, the lowly scout team encountered a group of Hu people chasing and killing our Han people on the way, and before I could wait for me to come back to report, they were discovered by the enemy. The commander of the army asked the lowly to come back to inform the general, and took another brother to break the queen, and when the lowly post was killed!! Wu Chang and that brother have 、、、、、"

Listening to the narration of the scouts who had just escaped from the bloody battle, everyone who heard it gritted their teeth and was furious, although the moment they embarked on the journey, they were faced with the possibility of dying in battle, but when their robes were really killed in battle, they had a feeling of unacceptability.

"How many enemy troops are there?" Although he was also sad and angry in his heart, as the main general, Guan Yu was not carried away by the roar.

"About three hundred are all cavalry, judging from the attire, there is no doubt that they are Hu people, and the people who escaped should all be from the capital of the country, and there are hundreds of Han soldiers mixed in the crowd、、、、、、"

In the Jiang family's army, all the scouts are the elite of the elite, although the enemy army met unexpectedly just now, and experienced a bloody battle, but it is impossible for the scout to forget the information obtained with blood.

"It's hard work, return to the team, this blood feud will be avenged immediately!" Guan Yu narrowed his Danfeng eyes with satisfaction and said murderously. His cold saw had been sealed for too long, and he was going to wipe it with the blood of this Hu man today.

"Order Zhou Cang to immediately make a detour to the rear to stop the rear of the prisoners, and let one person go to ask him!"

"Order the second battalion of Gao Ran and Liao Hua to move lightly and quickly, outflank the enemy from the left and right, and not let go of a single Hu person!"

"Get the order," With Guan Yu's order, three heralds holding the order flag roared towards the rear camp.

The order was given, and then Guan Yu looked back at Xin Bi, his military advisor with the army, and said, "George also bothered you and Du Yuanbu to collect materials and slowly advance with the army in the rear. ”

"Order!" Simbi raised his hand and saluted.

Although this is the first time that Simbi has been a military advisor with the army, he has been in the military for a long time and knows how to deal with it.

He also heard the scout's advice just now, and he had no objection to Guan Yu's tactics, if Guan Yu's 4,000 Han army could not easily take down this line of Hu people, then Guan Yu would not be worthy of being a general. Now what we should worry about is how to proceed after eating this group of Hu people.

However, just as Guan Yu's general order was issued, the hundreds of people besieged by the Hu people were already in a bitter battle.

A county soldier whose armor was already tattered and had more colors on his body, after cutting down a Hu man, protected another general who was about thirty years old, and said while panting: "Lord Duhu, we are surrounded、、、、、、"

The general is none other than the capital of this subject country, since the rebellion of the Hu people in the border pass half a month ago, the Qiuzi country under his care has risen again, the rebellious Qiuzi country under the leadership of their little king Bai Ying led by three thousand soldiers to attack his city, after many days of fierce fighting, the thousands of soldiers in the capital protection house lost more than half.

When there is no reinforcement and the food and grass are about to be won, as the protector of the capital, he must lead the people and soldiers to find a way out.

In the end, Du Hu decided to take the people to break through by night, and after bidding farewell to the deputy general who volunteered to stay behind, a group of thousands of soldiers and civilians came out of the south gate to prepare to cross the Great Wall. But who would have thought that just more than ten miles out of the city, the crowd was discovered by the guerrilla Hu people.

Soon the crowd that broke through was dispersed by the Hu cavalry, and when the night battle came, it was possible to see that there were no one in ten. But now they had no other choice, except to fight or fight, and the lieutenant immediately wiped the blood-stained sword with his cloak and asked, "How many brothers are there who can fight、、、、、

"There are still seventy or eighty, the war horses are all wasted, the general might as well take your wife and son to ride the war horse and escape alone, the inferior rank is the general's broken queen!" Looking at the Hu Lu who were slashing the people with teeth and claws everywhere, the soldier said in despair.

Hearing the suggestion, Du Hu looked back at the wife who was protected by his own soldiers not far away and the child in his arms, shook his head and said with a miserable smile: "This Du Hu Mansion is not only a family in the city, since you are all staying, how can this general have the face to live alone." If you really want to die here today, then the family will die together, and you won't be lonely on the road, not 、、、"

"Let's go, General! How could the general's daughter die at the hands of Hu Lu, I sacrificed my life to protect the general's family to break through, and when the general returned to the pass, it was not too late to lead the troops to avenge the villain! Hearing the words of the protector, the soldiers around him were all moved, and they all expressed their willingness to defend to the death.

"You don't need to say much, this will be absolutely intended, to be able to die on the battlefield horse leather shroud, that is the greatest honor of the martial arts, let's kill it happily today!" Du Hu laughed and rejected the suggestion, and rushed out with a single stride.

"Protect the general、、、、 kill 、、、"

"Killing 、、、、" may be seeing his own generals sacrifice themselves to kill, and the soldiers who were already tired forgot all the trauma and exhaustion on their bodies, and rushed towards the Hu people who held up their scimitars.

At the moment, the soldiers who fought to the death, even if their arms were cut off and the blood flowed profusely, and their stomachs were cut open and their intestines flowed to the ground, but none of them retreated half a point, and they died on the road of the charge.

Perhaps it was the mourning soldiers who would win, and the Hu soldiers who had just let go of the killing were stunned, and in just one contact, more than 20 Hu soldiers were cut into meat by the Han army's war horses.

However, although the Han army charged with the intention of death, the dozens of infantry who were exhausted after a night of fierce fighting were the opponents of the Hu cavalry who were several times more than their own. Even if the Qiuzi people's combat effectiveness was not too strong, it was still more than enough to deal with this group of Han troops, and after a short panic, the Qiuzi people stabilized their position under the leadership of their leader, and a new round of slaughter followed.

、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、

The remnant sun was like blood, the golden sunset sprinkled into the earth, and after a bloody battle between the vast heaven and earth, the grass that had just sprouted and grown had already been stained red with blood. The corpses scattered everywhere, the materials discarded everywhere, and the mourning war horses are all crying about the tragedy of the world.

A breeze blew, and the air mixed with the strong smell of blood drifted across the land, passing to the post not far away.

Compared to the miserable battlefield, this place is slightly better, but compared to the blood, it is a little bleak. The surviving Han people were forced here after some struggle, but for more than an hour, less than a third of the original hundreds of Han people were left at the moment, and most of them were old and weak women and children.

In addition to the common people, there are only a dozen Han soldiers who are still wearing armor and holding weapons at their wrists, and all of them are wounded.

Du Hu, who had just led the soldiers to charge, was now pale and terrifying, and his right arm, which was still holding the weapon, was already gone, and the two blood-stained arrow feathers on his chest kept shaking up and down with his heavy breathing, and from his appearance of more breath and less breath, he was running out of time.

"Madame, don't cry、、、" Du Hu stretched out his only bloodied left hand, pulled the young woman who was crying silently beside him, and touched the frightened son next to him, revealing a painful smile.

"It seems that the husband is、、No! Hehe, but as a general, the Han general, today, can, the battlefield of death, it can be regarded as 、、、 no regrets, that is, even the wife and the child, the son, the 、、、, and the wife are the husband, sorry for you, cough cough, "

"Husband, husband, don't, don't talk about husband, don't worry! We'll rush out! The young woman wept as she stroked her chest for Du Hu and comforted him.

"Hehe、、、 rush out!! The reinforcements from there are all blamed for the husband, if they had taken the people with them earlier, and returned to the pass, then they wouldn't have died so many people, cough cough, I'm sorry for everyone! Du Hu said with a miserable laugh.

As he said, now all the other than his vassal capital has moved inward, and if he had left earlier, it might have been true as he said, and all the tragedies would not have happened, but now it is too late to regret it.

"General!! Don't be like this, there is no regret that the lowly rank can follow the general and die on the battlefield, and now the brothers have killed at least four or five Hu people in their hands, which is enough! Later, he grabbed two war horses and sent the general and his wife out of the encirclement. One of the soldiers around Du Hu spoke out and explained.

Because of excessive blood loss, it took a while for some time to recognize the person who spoke out, and it turned out to be the highest-ranking team leader among his surviving subordinates: "Haha, cough cough、、、 I can go out early, everyone is enough today, what else to escape!" Even if it is、、Escape、、What about these old and weak women and children! ”

Saying that, Du Hu used his last strength to slowly stand up and look into the distance, and asked in confusion: "Why 、、、 we have been surrounded for a long time, and those Qiuzi people have not attacked、、、 and they will not come again, and the official will not be able to pull the back、、、、"

"That's right!! Are these bunnies scared of us! The team leader also looked at the hillside with a puzzled look while supporting the lieutenant, and finally said self-deprecatingly.
