There is wine today and drunk today, and Qiao Yin, who is in a predicament, only feels that it is difficult to control his fate, so he can only use wine to drown his sorrows.

The night was cold, Qiao Yin drank two jars of wine, but he was still not drunk, and shouted outside the tent: "Bring the wine!" ”

He lay down in the tent, but his heart was full of sorrow, and after a while, when he heard the sound of footsteps, he did not look at it, but stretched out his hand to take the jar, but no one brought it, and he frowned, and turned his head to look, and saw a soldier holding a jar in his hand, but he sat down beside him.

Qiao Yin was about to have a seizure when he was on fire without a name, but he heard the man sigh lightly: "Borrow wine to eliminate your sorrows, Brother Qiao, don't you understand this truth?" ”

Qiao Yin only felt that this voice was very familiar, and there was only a lone lamp in the room, which was quite dim, Qiao Yin glanced at it, and saw the person's face, his expression changed suddenly, he sat up suddenly, and said in a lost voice: "Is it you?" ”

Sitting in front of him was Huo Ran's old boss Wei Tianqing.

Wei Tianqing was calm, his expression was cold, and he said lightly: "At present, the great enemy, as a general, but drinking to relieve his sorrows, Brother Qiao, you have committed a taboo in the army." ”

Qiao Yin had not yet recovered from the shock, and after a while, he suddenly turned around, took the big knife from the side, "choked", pulled the knife out of its sheath, and the big knife was already on Wei Tianqing's neck.

Wei Tianqing didn't blink his eyelids, raised his eyes and smiled: "What, you want to kill me?" ”

"Wei Tianqing, you are treasonous, and you still have the courage to break into here?" Qiao Yin lowered his voice and said sharply: "Are you killing yourself?" ”

Wei Tianqing said lightly: "Who can not die in life?" It's just that you have followed me for many years, and I don't want to see you die in vain, no matter what, I have to save you. ”

Qiao Yin sneered: "Ridiculous. ”

Wei Tianqing stared at Qiao Yin's eyes and asked, "Chu Huan's Northwest Army is already close at hand, what are you going to do with these brothers?" Take them to fight to the death with the Northwest Army? ”

"The matter of being loyal to the king, as a soldier, since there is a great enemy, it is natural to draw a sword and fight." Qiao Yin also stared at Wei Tianqing, "Wei Tongzhi, this is what you said to us back then, you shouldn't forget it yourself, right?" ”

Wei Tianqing shook his head and said, "Naturally, I haven't forgotten it." ”

Qiao Yin nodded and said, "That's fine, since you haven't forgotten it, then things will be easy to do." ”

"Oh?" Wei Tianqing smiled: "What are you going to do?" ”

"You are wanted everywhere, arrest you, and hand you over to Feng Po." Qiao Yin said lightly.

Wei Tianqing said with a smile: "Sure enough, it's a good way, Feng Poyu regards me as a thorn in the flesh, you give me to him, a great achievement, Feng Poyu should reward you with something, maybe from now on, he will also regard you as a confidant." ”

Qiao Yin clenched his fist with his other hand, the corners of his eyes twitched, he suddenly put away his knife, walked quickly to the tent door, looked out, and then turned around and came in, and said in a low voice: "You leave now, I will treat you as if I didn't see you, the military camp still has Feng Poyu's eyeliner, you can't stay here, in case they find out, you can't leave if you want to." ”

Wei Tianqing sighed: "Brother Qiao, since I am here, I will not leave like this." You all came out with me, and I don't want to see them die in vain, even if there are thousands of brothers in these few miles, even if they are any one of them. ”

Qiao Yin's expression was solemn, he sat down slowly, stared at Wei Tianqing, was silent for a moment, and finally said, "It seems that Wei Tongzhi has taken refuge in Chu Huan. A sneer appeared on his lips: "Is the Wei Commander trying to help Chu Huan be a lobbyist?" ”

Wei Tianqing didn't answer, but said: "Brother Qiao, I came alone tonight, in fact, I just want to ask you a few questions, where to go, I won't help you choose, you choose by yourself." ”

Qiao Yin frowned and said, "You say." ”

"The combat effectiveness of the Northwest Army, you have already seen it, who wins and who loses in this battle, until the end, you and I can't judge, and I won't make an assertion here. But I want to ask you, who are you fighting for this time? ”

"Fighting for whom?" Qiao Yin seemed to hear an extremely funny question, and asked rhetorically, "Does this still need to be answered?" Naturally, it was for Great Qin. ”

Wei Tianqing let out an "oh" and said, "Da Qin? For the emperor of Hexi? ”

The corners of Qiao Yin's eyes jumped slightly, but he didn't answer, noncommittal.

"The Xishan Praetorian Guard was originally used to garrison Yunshan Mansion City, but you were transferred out of the city, and now you are being sent to the front as a pioneer to die." Wei Tianqing's expression was grim, "You Qiao Yin and thousands of brothers fought bloody battles for Dingwu, but did he ever know the name of any of you?" You are the first in this battle, the two armies are fighting, you live and die, these thousands of brothers, there must be very few who can survive, if the Northwest Army wins this battle, you can survive, what is the future, needless to say, if Feng Poyu really wins this battle, have you ever thought about how you will end? ”

Qiao Yin groaned slightly, and finally said: "Even if we win, the battle merit will not fall on our heads, and if we can save our lives, it may be the best result." ”

"Looks like you're not confused." Wei Tianqing snorted coldly, "Qiao Du and I were wronged and rebelled, you are my old department, they didn't do anything to you for the time being, just because they can still use you, and after this battle, do you think they won't settle accounts?" ”

Qiao Yin bowed his head and was silent.

"Whether it's for the lives of these thousands of brethren or for your own future, you should know how to go." Wei Tianqing stared at Qiao Yin, "There is only half of the Qin country left, the south is lost, and now it is located in Hexi, but even so, Hexi will not last long." The Liaodong Army is attacking Hexi, and the Northwest Army has also advanced northward with all its might, do you think that the Qin State can still return to the sky? A court that needs to rely on foreign barbarians to fight can continue to walk? ”

Qiao Yin finally said, "What do you want us to do?" ”

"I don't dare to guarantee that Chu Huan can achieve great things in the end, but at least for now, defecting to Chu Huan is the best choice." Wei Tianqing said with a straight face: "And Chu Huan is kind, with clear rewards and punishments, if you lead your brothers to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, you may not really have a bright future, but I dare to guarantee here that it is much better than following the Qin State." This battle, whether it is against the Qin State or the Northwest Army, is a battle that cannot be lost, in such a critical battle, if you can make military achievements, you will inevitably get Chu Huan's respect, Brother Qiao, do you understand what I mean? ”

Qiao Yin didn't speak, just picked up the jar of wine that Wei Tianqing brought over, patted the mud, and drank it with his head up

Thousands of miles away, withered grass is continuous.

When the Northwest Army arrived at the mouth of the Autumn Wind Plain, it was noon, and the heavens and the earth seemed to feel a solemn atmosphere, the heavens and the earth were dark, the thick clouds were rolling, and the sun was not visible.

The three thousand Xishan troops stretched out, like a human wall, across the mouth of the autumn wind plain, spears like a forest, Qiao Yin took the lead, pressed the saber in his hand, and looked at the dark and oppressive northwest army formation in the distance.

Next to Qiao Yin was Zhao Si, the deputy general of Feng Poyu's faction.

Qiao Yin looked back at a high ground behind him, where a large written flag was unfurled, and Feng Poyu rode on top of the high ground, and once the battle began, the teams would receive orders from there.

Only a few miles behind the Xishan Army were the two cavalry of Shuwutai and Yibu, among which there was also a part of the Hexi cavalry, no less than 5,000 people, which was also the main force of this battle.

The barbarian cavalry had already held the reins of their horses, stood beside their horses, and waited for an order to get on their horses and go into battle.

They were already eager to try at this time, most of the barbarian soldiers, their faces showed excitement, Feng Poyu had already appeared to pass down the order, after the war, the head was rewarded for meritorious deeds, one head was one white and two silver, if five heads were cut off, there was more possibility of being an official.

Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men.

The barbarian cavalry was tied with thick leather belts made of cowhide, and when the battle began, it was also used to hang the heads.

Feng Poyu was condescending, and he was also looking at the northwest army formation from afar, with a cold expression, holding the reins of the horse in one hand and holding the horse whip in the other hand, but he was also high-spirited and majestic, and after a while, a sneer appeared on his face, and he said in a deep voice: "Chu Huan is ready to use the conical formation." ”

"Cone formation?" A general next to him asked: "Master Hou, look at their appearance, it seems that the main force of the cavalry has been deployed to the front." ”

Feng Poyu nodded and said: "The power of the cone formation is in this cone, success is also a cone, and defeat is also a cone." ”

"Please also ask Master Hou to teach!"

Feng Poyu said: "Chu Huan used a conical formation, naturally he had expected that I would have cavalry on both sides, so in this way, a formation similar to a crane wing was formed on our side, and he wanted to use the cone formation to break my crane wing array." The cone head gathers the main combat forces in order to attack our crane body, and once the crane body collapses, the threat of the two wings will be destroyed without a fight. ”

At this time, everyone around him was condescending and looking into the distance, but they also vaguely saw that the cavalry of the Northwest Army was gathered at the head of the cone, and the two wings were spread out in eight figures, and the dense arrangement of infantry troops.

Feng Poyu held the horsewhip in his hand and pointed into the distance, "Once the cone formation cuts off our army's military formation and intersperses it with the past, it will be able to form a counter-encirclement from our rear, and the infantry army behind will follow closely and cooperate with the cavalry to form a large encirclement in front and rear, in this case, even if the two wings of our army launch an attack, it will be difficult to form a fatal threat to them." ”

"It seems that this Chu Huan is not incompetent." One of the people on the side said: "He actually knows how to use a cone formation to play against us." ”

Feng Poyu sneered: "He is also desperate, if the cone head can't break through the crane body of our army, it will not be able to form a counter-encirclement, and my two wings of cavalry will attack both sides of the cone formation from both sides, as long as they can break through their sides, the middle of the cone formation is an empty place, and our cavalry can turn their heads from behind to take the cone head of the cone formation, and the cone head will face a two-sided attack." ”

"In this case, the key to this battle is to see who can break through the opponent first, and if we can break through their flanks before the cone breaks through our crane, we can take the initiative?" The next one will instantly understand the key.

Feng Poyu nodded and said, "It can be said that as long as we break through first, we will be invincible." ”
