Yao Chang sighed: "Don't I know? But now the front army is gradually exhausted, and the collapse is imminent, if you don't lead the brave generals to lead the fierce cavalry to assault, I am afraid that my front army of more than 10,000 elite soldiers will not be guaranteed. These are the troops that we have managed to start with, and if they are folded here, I am afraid that we will not even be able to go back to the ridge table. It's all because we underestimated Fu Jian this time, I didn't expect him to ignore the hundreds of thousands of Xianbei troops on the edge of Chang'an, but he came out to deal with us and bumped into us. The only way to do this is to block his attack first, and then Xu Tu retreats! ”

Yin Wei was surprised: "Then Yin Mai General him?" ”

Yao Chang's eyes flashed coldly: "Whether it is life or death, depending on his creation, if I don't let my brother lead the cavalry to attack at this time, it will make the soldiers in the army feel cold, once the people's hearts are scattered, the team will not be able to take it, I am afraid that it will be scattered overnight." Command, drums, help. ”

Yin Wei gritted his teeth, turned his head and said loudly to the herald behind him: "Herald, open the camp gate, Tiefu cavalry will attack with General Yao Yinmai, the main gate of the camp will be opened, the archers will be in place, ready to cover the evacuation of the infantry of the front army!" ”

On Zhao's dock, Fu Jian looked at the Qiang army camp opposite, the four doors were wide open, the drums and trumpets were ringing in unison, and the Tiefu cavalry wielding sabers, maces, and lassos rolled out like smoke and dust, and the roar of the whistling cavalry when they charged, came with the wind, even if he was here, he could hear it clearly, the first general, eight feet tall, ten girths of the waist, holding a Xuanhua mountain axe, riding a tall and majestic black war horse, killed majestically, is it Yao Yinmai?

The corners of Fu Jian's mouth hooked up a sneer: "It's still the same virtue as Yao Xiang twenty years ago, thinking that he was invincible as a hero, and he wanted to charge to solve the battle with the cavalry, and it was not easy to do it twenty years ago, can he succeed today?" ”

Fu Jian said this, turned his head and said to a few heralds around him: "Order, the infantry in front of him retreated slightly, the cavalry is not allowed to attack for the time being, hide in the battalion, let the infantry abandon the captured armor and baggage to the ground, pretend to be afraid of the opponent's cavalry, and retreat directly, Tiefu Huns are greedy and stupid, the battle is unorganized and undisciplined, once they see the loot, they must stop looting, and when their formation is chaotic, they will ride out and attack it, and tell the generals in front that the thief will be the head of the leader, and there will be a winner, a bounty, and a county will be sealed!" ”

The herald left, Fu Jian's eyes fell on the battlefield in front of him, and his eyes flashed: "Yao Chang, do you really think that I can't even deal with you?" Hmph, this time, there is no way back to discipline you! ”

Ten days later, Sanyuan, Zhao's Dock.

In the Qiang camp, there was a dead air, the Qiang soldiers on duty on the sentry tower of the arrow tower, one by one had chapped lips, their faces were tanned, the sun was like fire, and it seemed that everything on the ground had been cooked, and many soldiers lay on the ground, calling softly with the last bit of strength: "Water, water, give me some water!" ”

Yao Chang was sweating profusely at this time, looking at the more than 100 sergeants in front of him who were digging downwards, a trace of longing flashed in his eyes, and after ten days of not seeing, there were already several pus pockets on his face, which showed the extent of the urgency.

A gray-faced sergeant came out of the bottomless underground, and beside Yao Chang, Yin Wei rushed forward with one arrow step, his eyes widened, and he asked the sergeant, "How is it, have you found water?" ”

The sergeant didn't care to shake the dust on his body, so he knelt down, kowtowed and cried: "The king (Yao Chang established himself as a general at this time, Da Danyu, the king of Qin in ten thousand years), his subordinates are incompetent, but, but now, there is really no water." ”

Yao Chang's body shook, and the people behind him wanted to help him, but he pushed away the people behind him and said sharply: "Dig for me again, I won't believe it, there will be no water underground in these three plains, and there will be no water out of hundreds of wells!" ”

The sergeant sighed, turned around and left with his companions behind him, while Yin Wei frowned deeply and walked to Yao Chang's side: "Lord, the current situation is extremely unfavorable for me. In the last battle, the Tiefu cavalry was raided by the Qin army because of the robbery of the baggage, and all of them were scattered, General Yin Mai was killed in battle, and our army was defeated. Now Fu Jian is trapping me with a long trench, and if our army continues to drag on, it will only get worse and worse, and now the army has cut off the water and dug the wells, if we don't get out again, I am afraid that the whole army will be wiped out here! ”

Yao Chang's eyes flashed green: "Yin Sima, what you said is right, but now Fu Jian is just waiting for us to take the initiative to retreat, retreat in front of the enemy, morale is low, the soldiers have no heart to fight, and the water is cut off for a few days, if you leave the strong camp, I am afraid that it will be scattered in a hurry, as long as the Qin army pursues with thousands of old and weak, our army will either collapse or surrender." It's a dead end, and it's never! ”

Yin Wei gritted his teeth: "Then how about throwing down the army, the lord with his cronies and subordinates, galloping back to Lingbei on a light horse, and then trying to forge ahead?" ”

Yao Chang hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "No, the tribes in Lingbei elected me as the leader of the alliance, not because they like me so much, but because they believe that the Qin State will be destroyed, and I can lead them to create a foundation." Now their tribal elites are here, if they are destroyed in a battle, I am afraid that after I return to Lingbei, these people will tie me up and sacrifice me to Fu Jian to surrender. Abandoning the army and fleeing at this time is also a dead end! ”

Yin Wei was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "Then what should I do, stay here and wait for death?" ”

Yao Chang gritted his teeth: "I only count on Murong Hong to save us, last night, I asked my son Yao Hao to break through and go to Bashang, find Murong Hong for help, take him hostage, and recognize him as the leader of the alliance." I think, Murong Hong is not a fool, we have a common enemy, Fu Jian, if we sit back and watch Fu Jian destroy me, it will be his turn next, even if we make a show, come to more than 10,000 people to support and attract Fu Jian's attention, we also have the opportunity to escape overnight. ”

Yin Wei shook his head: "But the most troublesome thing now is the water cut-off, some people are already dying of thirst, I'm afraid that there will be no water one day, and if we don't wait for Murong Hong to come, we will be finished ourselves." ”

Yao Chang gritted his teeth: "Then wait another day, if God pities me Yao Chang and helps me succeed, it will not cut me off." I have been planning for so many years, and I finally messed up Di Qin and raised troops to restore the country, and God will definitely not criticize me so harshly. The herald ordered all the soldiers of the army, except for the soldiers on duty at the camp gate, and the craftsmen who dug wells to find water, all of them joined me in praying to heaven, asking for the protection of the gods, killing all the cattle and sheep in the army, and offering sacrifices to heaven! ”

Yin Wei wondered: "Does it really work?" After killing all the cattle and sheep, what will you eat in the future? ”

Yao Chang licked his chapped lips: "If there is providence for our army to get water, there will naturally be food, if there is no water and thirst to death, even if there are more cattle and sheep, what is the use?" Tell the order, and in half an hour, the whole army will pray with me! ”
