The sound of horse hoofbeats gradually faded away. Less than a cup of tea had passed. On the tragic battlefield, corpses were lying on their backs, stacked up, and the heat was gradually dissipating.
There are countless pairs of eyes, some of them are opened fiercely, with a look of death, and some of them are drooping, showing that they are lifeless.
One hand moved slightly a few times, and then, the tightly closed eyes opened with difficulty.
call……
Before the soldier could make any move, he only exhaled a deep breath, God has mercy!
He is actually alive!
The soldier who had a chance to escape was named Hu Jili. He was originally the most inconspicuous member of the Di Qin team.
However, this tone and this body that could still move made him instantly different.
The blood all over his body made Hu Jili think for a moment that he was seriously injured and was about to die soon. However, when he woke up completely, he suddenly realized that there was no pain anywhere in his body!
He pushed away the body of his comrade that was pressing on him and slowly sat up.
He stared at his hands for a long time without an answer.
He was actually not injured!
However, why did he faint when he was not injured?
He remembered the moment when a Jin soldier rushed over and opened his companion's belly right in front of his eyes.
Blood burst out immediately, and he fell off the horse.
After this, he lost consciousness and knew nothing.
If Hu Jili were a modern person, his doubts might be answered instantly. He would not know that in modern medicine, his symptoms have already been clearly explained.
It's just a fainting of blood.
It wasn't a big problem, but it was this problem of fainting with blood that actually saved his life at such a critical moment of life and death.
Hu Jixiang, whose voice was extremely weak, was already stained with the blood of his comrades. The Jin soldiers, who had limited time, did not realize that he was still alive.
Hu Jixiang stood up and staggered towards Xiangyang City.
The Jin army has new weapons and Cui Yanyou surrendered to the Jin army. General Fu must know this news as soon as possible...
…………
"Captain Cao, General Xie didn't ask us to arrive, so why should we march at night?"
"It's really inconvenient."
On the open grass field, a small group of Jin troops were marching. Their pace was slow and their attitude was not positive enough.
It is hard to see that they are actually going to Xiangyang City to join forces.
Cao Qing spat and said disdainfully: "How did you know that the war was about to start outside Xiangyang City? We continued to linger in Changjie. When the Jin army captured Xiangyang City, there would be no meritorious service for us.
It’s enough!”
That's right, this group of Jin troops, who were small in number and poorly disciplined, had been left by Wang Mi and others to clear the roadblocks near Changjia for a long time.
From the moment Wang Mi and others divided their forces, it took about a month to count. This group of Jin troops finally ended their dawdling as foreign workers and gradually moved closer to Xiangyang City from near Changjiao.
Because the intestinal path is the shortest road that must be passed to reach Xiangyang City, although the soldiers were not very motivated and did not have the blessing of fast horses, after five days and five nights, they actually arrived near Xiangyang City.
.
"Captain Cao, we were thrown here in Changjia. We have no chance to make meritorious service. Didn't you say before that if you go to the battlefield, you will risk your life. Isn't it safest to stay in Changjia?"
"It's easy and life-saving."
All the soldiers have good memories, and no one has forgotten the heroic words that Lao Cao said before.
Lao Cao laughed and tried to muddle through, but of course he would not succeed.
The soldiers grabbed him and asked him why, and he had no choice but to tell him his plan.
"Although we are rushing in the direction of Xiangyang, our goal is not Xiangyang City."
Not Xiangyang City?
where is that?
Everyone’s interest was immediately aroused!
"I will take you to Fort Victory!" Cao Qing declared confidently.
"Fort Victory?"
"Isn't that the nearest Wubao outside Xiangyang City? The last time I received a letter from General Xie, didn't he say that the Beifu soldiers had left Desheng Fort and headed outside Xiangyang City?"
"Our entire army is not at Fort Victory, what are we going to do there?"
Cao Qing was heartbroken, these people were really ignorant, and it was in vain that he had been promoting them to Changjing for many days.
It still hasn't entered my mind.
"It's because General Xie is not here that we have to go to Victory Fort to take a break."
"Think about it, as soon as the war begins, Xiangyang City may be captured by our army within a few days. If we continue to hang around at Changjie, General Xie will definitely punish us when he gets some free time.
"
"So, we must leave Changjiao and make a show before the war starts." "But we don't want to lose our lives. The Victory Fort is our best place. General Xie and the Beifu soldiers are blocking the front.
, there will definitely be no harassment from Di Qin soldiers in the fort, we just need to wait quietly in the fort for good news."
"Wonderful!"
"It's indeed a great idea!"
"Captain Cao is so smart!"
Thinking about it this way, Victory Fort is really a particularly good place to go. It is hundreds of miles away from Xiangyang City and is unique.
They came from Beifu and arrived at Victory Fort. The people of the fort could not turn them away. Although they did not arrive in Xiangyang in time, they had already tried their best. Even if Xie Xuan knew in his heart that they had selfish motives, he would not deal with them harshly.
Cao Qing was making a little calculation, thinking that he had found a brilliant plan to get the best of both worlds. However, with his sneaky and sneaky mentality, how could God help him?
"Team leader!"
"Look, there are residential buildings ahead!"
"Are we going to ask for a drink of water?"
The soldiers came over and shook the water hyacinth. There was no sound of water at all, and Cao Qing grumbled in his throat.
I don't think I feel it if I don't talk about it, but as soon as I talk about it, the thirst will keep rising, and I can't bear it.
"Walk!"
"Let's go take a look!"
He was just asking for a drink of water, not grabbing food. Cao Qing led a large group of people and confidently walked towards the scattered houses.
…………
"Open the door!"
"Open the door quickly!"
A group of soldiers gathered around the dilapidated thatched houses of the villagers and kicked the door hard. The villagers were so frightened that they dared not open the door.
Fortunately, the soldiers did not expect them to open the door.
After a few fierce kicks, the wooden door, which was not very strong, burst open.
In a simple hut, a young couple and two half-human-sized children were hiding in the corner in panic.
The children's cries were about to penetrate the roof. The soldier who rushed in drew his long knife and pointed it directly at the male owner of the house.
"Go and take out the grain cans!"
"Master, please spare your life, there is no food left!"
"No food? What nonsense are you talking about!"
"are you going?"
The tip of the long knife in his hand trembled slightly. The man in the room had been so frightened by him that he couldn't even react.
"Do you want food or your life?"
There was no answer. The soldier gave a sinister smile and raised his knife. The little boy, who was protected by the woman's arms, fell to the ground.
