"How much stamina do you have?" The general's long and narrow eyes glowed coldly, and the corners of his mouth pulled up, and he sneered, "I have to admit that you do have some ability. I have been on the battlefield for many years, and I have never seen a few who are as capable as you." call taxi."

"But depending on you now..."

Before he finished speaking, Qi Ranming withdrew his sword and slashed at him from the side.

The general was startled, Qi Ranming's tricky angle made him unstoppable, so he had to bow back abruptly in a haste to avoid the sword.But Qi Ranming's next sword followed, piercing straight to his face.

After several consecutive strikes like this, the general was forced into an extremely embarrassing situation, he was out of breath and broke out in a cold sweat.

At this moment, Qi Ranming laughed softly, lowered his eyes, put the index finger and middle finger of his left hand together, and caressed the blade of the sword.He stood sideways, his tone was flat, but because of the few sword strikes just now, he implied sarcasm for no reason: "It's enough for me to kill you now."

The general blushed immediately, and turned into anger from embarrassment: "I'm not afraid to flash my tongue, do you think I'm the same as that coward who was afraid of death just now?"

Qi Ranming raised his eyes and glanced at him, raised his long sword "swish", the sword body reflected the golden light of the rising sun, and printed it on Qi Ranming's sharp-edged face.

"You can try." Qi Ranming said.

After Qi Ranming finished speaking, he raised his sword and charged towards the general.

Even if he was seriously injured, even if his physical strength was about to be exhausted, facing thousands of troops, facing iron-blooded soldiers, even if blood would be splashed on the battlefield in the next second, Qi Ranming still talked and laughed happily.

Both of them shot very quickly, and in an instant, after hearing "Keng! Keng! Keng!", the long sword collided with the man's spear hard in midair a few times, almost sparking.

The fire is as warm as the rising sun, but it is like a series of death talismans. Whoever misses a move in this match will die on the spot.

Wei Boyong, who originally wanted to help Qi Ranming, felt a little comforted when he saw that Qi Ranming had found his status again, with high fighting spirit.Before that, although he didn't know Qi Ranming, but during these days of fighting side by side, Wei Boyong has completely regarded Qi Ranming as his own.

"Withdraw! Don't love to fight!" Ning Jian's voice pierced the sky and came to all the soldiers.

The war horses were indifferent, and had no interest in the sight in front of them. They just buried themselves in eating their own black beans. After eating for a long time, they were almost full.Wei Boyong raised his sword and mounted his horse, pulled up the reins, and stabbed the horse's buttock with the sword, and the horse immediately raised its head and screamed in pain.

"Retreat! All retreat!!!"

At the same time, in the city of De County, in the coach's camp.

Ever since Qi Ranming and the others led the troops out of the city, Jiang Yu had always had a bad feeling. He deduced and deduced, and he arranged three teams of troops, just to prevent the Qi army from ambush.The place where the ambush is most likely to exist is Guogong Mountain outside the city. Ning Jian and Wei Boyong have experienced many battles, and it is impossible not to obey his orders. If they can't catch up with the Qi army before Guogong Mountain, they will naturally obey the order and come back .

Qi Ranming has brains, but he doesn't know how to show off.

As soon as the cavalry ran, he didn't believe that any chariot of the Qi army could catch up.

Then why is he still so disturbed?

Jiang Yu frowned, staring at the sand table, wondering if there was any omission.Does Qi Jun have a way to keep his cavalry from running away?If the cavalry can't run away, the Qi army will arrange a large number of soldiers and horses, and the crowd tactics can surround him with 6000 people.

War horse... Jiang Yu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, thinking of a famous battle in history.

"Report—!" At this moment, the scout's voice sounded from afar, full of panic, and he stretched his voice, rushing into Jiang Yu's tent while running.

"General!!!" The scout fell to his knees with a "plop" and raised his head with red eyes, "It's not good."

Jiang Yu's temples twitched suddenly, and the scouts said: "After General Ning went out of the city to catch up with the Qi army, a large number of chariots and infantry suddenly surrounded him."

Jiang Yu: "Even so, Ning Jian and the others should be able to escape. What happened?"

"Qi Jun, Qi Jun..." The scout was choked with sobs, "Qi Jun suddenly unloaded a lot of black beans from the chariot, and the aroma of the cooked black beans...attracted our war horses. Listen to orders, no matter how you pull the rein, you won't go away."

Jiang Yu's mind exploded, and he finally knew where the uneasiness came from.

The horses hadn't been fed all night, and when they went out in the morning, it was the time when they were most hungry, so it was fine if they didn't, once they smelled the aroma of those beans... the consequences could be imagined with their toes.

"What's the situation outside the city now?" Jiang Yu asked quickly.

The scout said: "General Ning is leading people to break through, but...the Qi army has too many people, there are 3 people, I am afraid it will be difficult, very difficult to break through successfully..."

It's over.

Jiang Yu closed her eyes, raised her hand and rubbed her forehead.

The atmosphere in the tent was extremely tense for a moment.

6000 people are still the most elite group, this is their main force.If these 6000 people were surrounded and wiped out, the entire army would be wiped out, and there would be no need to fight this battle.

"It's all because the Qi army is too treacherous..." The scout has been in the army for many years, and he values ​​his comrades-in-arms and the glory of his family and country the most. Now that their [-] soldiers and horses are going to be surrounded and wiped out, he really feels uncomfortable.

"No, this is my fault." Jiang Yu only took a very short time to calm down, and interrupted the scout's words of praising him, "I was too reckless, overestimated myself, and underestimated the enemy."

It was too smooth and smooth before, which made him lose his vigilance, which is why he is in the current situation.

"My lord, it's not all your fault." Gongsun Ke said in a low voice.

"Now is not the time to discuss who is right or wrong," Jiang Yu said, and then ordered the scouts, "Tell people to keep an eye on the situation outside the city. Once General Ning or other generals come back from the siege, immediately open the city gate to welcome them."

After Jiang Yu finished speaking, there was nothing else to say, and the scouts stared at him blankly without moving.

"Why, is there any question?" Jiang Yu asked.

The scout held back for a while, then lowered his head and replied, "General, are we just waiting here and not going out of the city to rescue?"

Jiang Yu was silent for a moment.

The scout continued: "General Ning and the others are being surrounded and wiped out outside the city, should we just wait like this? Just watch them being killed?"

The scout's words seemed to express the aspirations of many people.

Jiang Yu asked Liu Wu, "What do you think?"

Liu Wudao: "Back to the general, the last general thought that even if we were defeated, we should die standing up and die on the battlefield with our brothers. These years of glory should not be in vain. If we just wait in the city, the Qi army will take Ning After the general and others have surrounded and wiped out the city, we will have only 4000 people, and the city will be destroyed in a short time, and we will still be dead by then."

Jiang Yu stared at him for two seconds, then smiled for a while: "I didn't expect you to be so bloody. If so, why did you surrender in the first place? Isn't it because you were reluctant to die?"

Liu Wudao: "The last general is not reluctant to die, but his family and relatives are all in Cangcheng, and the last general just wants to find a way out for his family."

"So that's the case." Jiang Yu nodded, waved his hands and said, "Go out and watch, don't stay here with me."

"General!" The scout was anxious.

Jiang Yu paused, bent down to help him up from the ground, patted the scout on the shoulder, and said, "You can fight to the death with your brothers, but I can't just think so. It's not that I'm greedy for life and afraid of death, it's just that I have more More consideration."

As the coach, Jiang Yu certainly couldn't act on his own will like his subordinates.

"General..." The scout was still puzzled.

"Okay," Jiang Yu interrupted him, "Are you going to disobey the military order?"

"The end will not dare."

"Then go."

"……Yes."

After the others left, Jiang Yu turned to look at Da Zhou's map.

"The state of Chu is about to send troops. The Marquis of Chu is not an indecisive person. He was a young man who forbeared. After taking power in his middle age, he pushed the border of Chu state to the north by dozens of miles in just a few years. There is such a good opportunity , can benefit from the hands of Qi, Chuhou will never let it go."

"We only need to hold on for another half a month, no more than a month at most, and we will be able to wait for the envoy of peace talks from Marquis Qi."

Jiang Yu was talking to himself, and he didn't know if he was explaining something to someone, or just to convince himself.

"If we go out of the city now, not only the 6000 people, but also the rest of the people will go in. If the whole army is truly wiped out, there will be no chance of victory at all."

Watching his own people being massacred outside the city, even Jiang Yu couldn't remain indifferent.The clenched hands under the sleeves revealed that he was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.

Besides, besides this, he still has some personal feelings in his heart.

If he had known earlier, he would not have let Qi Ranming go out. If this person died during the siege... Thinking of this, Jiang Yu's chest couldn't help but tighten, as if he was being grabbed by something.

Damn it, Jiang Yu cursed secretly, Nangong Chuo, if there is a chance in the future, I must kill you.

If you let him die too.

"My lord." Gongsun Ke has followed Jiang Yu for many years, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is the person who knows Jiang Yu best in the world.He could clearly feel how remorseful and angry Jiang Yu was now.

"I'm fine." Jiang Yu stopped what he wanted to say, and suddenly slammed his fist hard on the table, which directly punched a hole in the table. Jiang Yu was still not relieved, so he raised his leg and slammed it.

Just hearing a "bang", the whole table fell apart and lay on the ground.

"My lord, this is not your fault alone."

"Why not?" Jiang Yu glanced at him, "Don't say those high-sounding words, I don't like to hear them. This is my fault. It's my mistake that caused our army to suffer such a heavy loss."

Gongsun Ke secretly sighed.

"Victory and defeat are commonplace for military strategists. Why do you have to do this, my lord?" Gongsun Ke called someone to come in to clean up. "This time we lost, but it's not a complete defeat. We still have a chance when it's over."

Jiang Yu pursed her lips, and finally heard what she wanted to say.

He raised his head and let out a bad breath: "...You are right, it was just a loss. Don't we still have people? There are so many examples in history of winning more with less."

The mood of waiting for the result is almost like waiting for the notice of critical illness.Jiang Yu waited with a heavy face until Maoshi, when the battle report came from the front line.

"Report—! General!" The scout rushed into the tent like last time, and knelt down with a "plop", but his expression was not as flustered as last time.

"How?" Jiang Yu asked.

"Reporting to General, General Ning led people to break out of the encirclement and escaped, now he is entering the city!"

Ever since the three of them left the city, the heart that had been hanging around was finally put back in their stomachs.Jiang Yu's palms were in a cold sweat. Hearing the military report, he paced back and forth in the tent:

"Okay, okay! I'll go and have a look!"
