Never surrender to Hu

Never surrender to Hu

Gao Xiang's death plunged Fengsu into a tense silence.

"Sir, can I still go back to Chang'an?" The question was from his companion Lu Qian, who was sent to Loulan together with Pan Hong.

"Hahaha!" Pan Hong had a sad smile on his face, but he hadn't spoken yet.

Zhao Huer suddenly shouted, "Second Son, the barbarians are coming!"

From the Huns army three miles away, more than a hundred cavalry were separated and quickly approached Pohu Fort.

Gao Yuan said tremblingly: "Second Son, the Xiongnu are really trying to break through Hu Fort with this posture. Now we only have a few people, how can we stop them? We'd better retreat quickly!"

"What did you say?"

When Han Ye heard this, he immediately grabbed Gao Yuan and slapped him, then he sat down and wanted to chop him.

Hu Kang hugged him quickly. They were all friends, so let’s spare him this time.

"snort"

Han Ye glared at Gao Yuan angrily, "If you dare to talk about escaping again, Mr. Nai will definitely kill you first..."

Gao Yuan quickly shut up and did not dare to speak.

At this time, Han Ye turned to Pan Hong again and said, "Shi Chang, what should we do now?"

Everyone looked at Pan Hong at this time.

Pan Hong was holding on to the wall tightly at this moment and could feel the chill emanating from every pore.

Before coming to the Western Regions, he was just a dandy in Chang'an City. If it weren't for his father's crimes, he would never have come to guard the border outside the Great Wall. He didn't expect that when he went to the battlefield for the first time, he would encounter such a disparity in strength. How could he feel about it?

Can you be afraid?

At this moment, Pan Hong also had the idea of ​​​​escape in his heart. He also wanted to do as Gao Yuan suggested, abandon the beacon and his responsibilities, run away without looking back, and hide as far away as possible.

Whatever heroes, whatever current situation, whatever the Western Regions, go to hell! Only living is the most important thing...

So Pan Hong stood up and ran towards the beacon.

Gao Yuan was immediately overjoyed: "What I said is right, we should evacuate."

Lao Han was so angry that he stamped his feet and cursed: "Pan Hong, Mr. Nai is really wrong about you. I didn't expect that you are also a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death! Okay, if you don't guard, I will guard you, and I will die."

We also need to drag a few Huns on our backs."

Zhao Hu'er shook his head, but still didn't move his eyes to observe the Huns' movements. They were already two miles away.

Pan Hong ignored Lao Han's scolding, stepped off the beacon and came to the stables in the fort, but in front of everyone, he drove all the horses away.

"What are you doing, Shichang..."

Pan Hong raised his head and smiled: "Now that the horse is gone, the second and third sons can't run away even if they want to. This beacon seems to be our burial place."

Han Ye laughed and said, "Shi Chang is indeed a good man. If he dies, he will die, so why should he be afraid? See you again in front of Mr. Taishan, my second and third son!"

A smile suddenly appeared on Pan Hong's face, and his eyes had been fixed on Gao Xiang just now. Gao Xiang, who was usually greedy for life and afraid of death, did not bow to the Huns until his death.

If Gao Xiang could do this, how could he have the shame to run away? Anyway, he had lived a life of being a master since he was a child, and he had enjoyed all the blessings he deserved.

I have been called a scholar since I was a child, so it's time to show my integrity as a scholar.

Thinking of this, his courage that had disappeared for a time came back!

He didn't want to live in regret for the rest of his life.

He has decided to live or die with Fort Hu.

He no longer wanted to run away. There was a clear look in his eyes. This was the burial place of Pan Hong.

The first thing to do now is to cut off everyone's retreat so that everyone can work together to defend against the enemy.

Pan Hong has returned to Fengsui again,

Then he said in a deep voice to everyone: "Second and Third Sons, even if you give up the beacon, how far can you go?

If we can't run even a few miles from this flat land, the Huns will overtake us and behead us."

"If you run away now, you will definitely die faster than if you stay!"

At this time, everyone slowly began to understand that the only option now was to fight to the death and live towards death!

Pan Hong gave up everyone's idea of ​​​​escape, and began to issue orders, preparing to hold on.

"Everyone, go and use wood to top the beacon door."

Then everyone was asked to string their bows and crossbows one by one and check whether food and water were ready.

He then said to Han Ye: "If anyone dares to escape again later, you will kill him directly for me!"

"promise!"

Han Ye touched the Huanshou knife and looked at Gao Yuan's head faintly. He was so frightened that he quickly stayed away from Han Ye.

Pan Hong pointed to the west and said: "The smoke has already been ignited. Loulan City is only twenty miles away from here."

"There are thousands of Loulan and Han soldiers in the city, and a few hundred cavalry and Hu cavalry are no match for our Han army... As long as we persist until the army attacks, we will be fine..."

While Pan Hong was looking forward to reinforcements from Loulan City, Loulan City also fell into war. King Loulan, who had completely surrendered to the Xiongnu, was leading his soldiers to besiege the Han army's camp.

Fortunately, before the Loulan people launched an attack, Zhang Yue's Qianniu Guards who were ambushing in the city had already informed the Han troops in the city in advance.

The Han army in the city had made preparations in advance, otherwise in the face of the sudden attack by the Loulan people, the Han army in the city would have been completely wiped out, just like in history.

But of course the people in Pohu Fort, who were twenty miles away, didn't know about these things. They were still looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements.

"The second and third beacons are well built. There are various traps everywhere outside the fort, and the door is blocked. Although there are many barbarians, there are not many who can really attack us. We have strong armor and powerful soldiers, as well as many bows and crossbows."

, we will definitely be able to hold on until reinforcements arrive!"

Pan Hong was still motivating his soldiers.

"Be careful, the Huns are starting to test fire!" Zhao Huer suddenly shouted

As soon as he finished speaking, several red arrows roared from outside the fort, arced, and fell from high altitude towards Broken Hu Fort...

None of the arrows fired by the Huns in a test shot reached the top of the beacon, and the furthest they reached was only the city wall.

"Second and third sons, don't rush to fight back. Wait until the Huns are close before shooting."

Although the range of a crossbow is longer than that of a bow and arrow, its speed is much slower than that of a bow and arrow. Except for Zhao Huer, the people in Pohubao are not good at shooting. Firing the crossbow from a distance is just a waste of arrows.

.

Zhao Hu'er had been in the frontier for so many years and had rich experience in dealing with the Huns' invasion. If it weren't for Hu'er being born, he might have become a dubo.

He asked everyone not to rush to shoot the crossbow, but he stood up, drew his bow, and patiently searched for the target.

Zhao Huer knew the opponent's shooting range very well and was very confident in his own shooting skills.

His shooting skills were cultivated on the grassland since he was a child. Although he is not as good as the eagle shooter, the gap is not far behind.

He patiently searched for the target, and suddenly he loosened his string. More than a hundred paces away, a Hun rider who was about to dismount and shoot fell down at the sound!

"good!"

Pan Hong and Lao Han saw this scene through the enemy spy hole and immediately cheered. Although they were outnumbered, Zhao Huer's first arrow really boosted their morale!

The Huns, who were originally attacking quickly, also slowed down.

"Second and third sons, get ready!"
