Under the scorching sun, the battlefield looked increasingly dull.

Even the battle-hardened horses under Captain Zhao seemed a little restless.

Perhaps he was infected by the strong bloody smell of the battlefield, or felt the constant departure of his companions, or finally felt the will to die from his master. The maroon war horse kept pacing on the spot, venting its hooves.

The anxiety in my heart.

The leader patted the head of the war horse sitting down with his remaining right arm. The war horse suddenly became quiet as if it was psychic. It snorted as if to agree to its master, and then the right front hoof fell together, as if preparing for the final charge.

Sit and get ready.

The leader untied the severed horse's reins and bits with one hand, letting the horse breathe freely, and smoothed back his messy hair, and took out a silk book soaked in blood from his arms.

It was a promotion letter sent to him personally by General Lian Po. He kept it close to his brother. It was the pride of his life!

However, today, because of his omission, the army was in danger.

Therefore, he could only use his life to slightly correct this omission!

Looking at the dark shadow on the opposite side, and then at his comrades who had disappeared in the distance, the captain knew that his goal had been achieved, and he could complete the last step.

The leader rolled up the silk book and used it as a belt to tie up his hair.

Okay, now you are dressed properly! Go to death calmly!

For a sergeant, could there be a better ending than this?

there is none left!

The corner of his mouth that was holding the long knife could not help but open up a little.

That laugh is scarier than crying.

After finishing everything, the captain slowly took out the long knife from his mouth.

Yes, that’s right, draw, not take!

In order to prevent the massive loss of blood from taking away the last strength, the leader did not open his mouth, but clenched his teeth and pulled out the long knife from the tight bite of his teeth.

The friction between the long knife and the teeth made a scalp-numbing sound of "squeaking".

Finally, the long knife is in hand!

The general of the Qin army who was opposite the captain also quietly watched everything the captain did, and slowly raised his sword. Thousands of cavalry behind him also raised their spears.

Gently pinch the horse's belly, and the horse starts instantly, carrying its owner towards death!

"kill!"

Three thousand cavalry were dispatched in full force, and the mighty sound of horse hooves was considered the most beautiful farewell song for the hero!

Under the sun, it was completely dark, with no trace of red...

The only good thing is that the nearly suicidal counterattack by a hundred men under the scout leader successfully bought the rest of the scouts precious time and space to escape, and the rest of the scouts lived up to their trust and successfully withdrew to the central army.

among.

On the way back to the camp, several scouts and commanders who had escaped the pursuit of the Qin army quickly gathered together again, including Wu Qi's troops who were exploring the fortress. Then the scouts rushed towards the army and discussed the situation.

.

"Wu Qi, how is the condition of the Qin army's barrier?" a camp commander asked tentatively.

The young Captain Wu Qi was about to answer, but was choked back by a "Shut up!"

The person who just interrupted Wu Qi's words was the eldest among the scouts, Chief Fei: "How can we talk nonsense about this matter?" As he said this, Chief Fei glanced around again.

"The matter is serious at this time, so I should present it to the general in person." A village chief also hurriedly agreed.

The meaning is very clear. It is already certain that the Qin army has a conspiracy, but for the sake of the morale of the army, this news must be kept secret. At least until General Zhao Kuo makes a decision, he and others cannot spread it.

"Of course, the captain is protecting us with his life. This news is extraordinary." Another village chief continued.

"After returning to the camp, all the ministries were gathered together in one place, and the camp commanders of each department were under their supervision. No one was allowed to walk alone until the general gave orders. I, Wu Qi, Lao Zhou and others all went to see the general." Fei, the commander of the camp, was very quick.

Specific measures were taken.

All the village chiefs also thought that his proposal was very good, but the people below him did not know the importance of it. If the situation was exposed, they would be killed.

As for reporting to the general, Wu Qi, who was the only one who knew the details of the Qin army's fortress, naturally wanted to follow him. Fei and Zhou, the commanders of the villages, were both very prestigious people in the army. They met together and had supervision over each other. Three

The number of people is just right. If there were more people, someone might be surprised.

So, on top of the rushing horses, the scouts agreed on the matter of requesting a meeting and reporting.

In the blink of an eye, the main force of the scout battalion had returned to the main force of the marching army. While the soldiers were glad that they had finally escaped, they immediately explained to the top that their leader had died and that they had top-secret information that needed to be presented to the general.

The three village commanders who were selected were quickly brought to the front of General Zhao Kuo.

"I've seen the general." The three camp commanders knelt down and said.

"No courtesy!" Fake Zhao Kuo said, "Why did the leader die in battle? What top-secret information do you have? Please report it as soon as possible."

"No!" said the leader named Fei: "My scout battalion left the camp at 9 o'clock today to investigate in the direction of Guanglang City. We marched to about ten miles away from Guanglang City and found..."

The commander swallowed his saliva and continued: "It was discovered that the Qin army had built a barrier. Seeing this, the scout leader hurriedly ordered the general and others to turn back and pass on the message, and led his own troops to block the Qin army. There is no news now. I'm afraid,

Already dead. As for the Qin army's barrier."

As he spoke, the commander of the surnamed Fei glanced at Wu Qi. Wu Qi understood and immediately added: "The general, on the orders of the chief captain, went north and south to explore the Qin army's fortress, and found that the fortress ran from north to south and was about ten miles long.

The city is high and the ravines are deep,

Compared with the fortress on the west bank of Danshui, it is even better. There are troops stationed on it, one post every three steps, and one sentry every five steps. The number of troops stationed in a single round is no less than 50,000, and they are equipped with rolling wood, stones, and golden arrows.

Beds, crossbows, etc. are all available.”

After saying that, they bowed their heads to the end, waiting for the general's thunderous wrath. The three scouts and commanders also lowered their heads.

Such complete fortifications were not noticed on my side. It must be said that this was a huge mistake on the part of Zhao Jun's scout camp. Even if Zhao Kuo killed them on the spot, he would not get anyone's sympathy.

Of course, Zhao Kuo would not do this, because he knew that Qin's laws were strict and how difficult it was to find out information from the areas occupied by the Qin army. Coupled with the strict orders of Bai Qi, Lord Wu'an, who else would be responsible for this?

The leader of the scout school captain will not have a better result. What's more, now that the scout school captain has died in the line of duty, he can be regarded as paying for his "mistakes" with his life.

Seeing the general frowning, the scouts became more and more uneasy.

"General, this matter has not yet been reported. The general and others are well aware of the seriousness of this matter, so after returning to the camp, they immediately caged all the scouts together and put them under the guard of their respective camp commanders. The three of us also rushed here without stopping.

I haven't come into contact with anyone else. Please let the general make a decision." Commander Fei bowed his head to the end again.
