The night faded and the dawn came.

Zhang Yu, who was besieged in Jincheng by Jeruza's army, and his auxiliaries finally fell into a desperate situation. Everyone was exhausted, but they couldn't see where the reinforcements were. Relying on perseverance to do the struggle of the trapped beasts, but facing the most helpless situation, their firearms are gone.

Zhang Yu's body was full of wounds, but his mind was unusually clear.

He had to make a choice.

"We" he spat out two words, but it stopped abruptly, he really had too much unwillingness. Looking around, the surviving auxiliary soldiers were covered in blood and wounds, but many still clutched the bayonets and horizontal knives in their hands. Zhang Yu didn't dare to look into their eyes, didn't dare to look.

He was born in a family of military generals, a disciple of the general, Yun Wen can be martial, once in the army of the head of the grass thief Wang Xianzhi head, he was only sixteen years old, for the soldiers of the army called "ten thousand enemies." He also read poetry and books, and knew a lot about military history and war classics. At this time, Zhang Yu finally understood Xiang Yu in front of Wujiang and understood what it meant to be an overlord and a concubine.

For the soldiers who followed him, Li felt very guilty at this time, even if he offered all the bamboo in Nanshan, he could not write the regret in his heart. But at this point, even though Zhang Yu put the responsibility for this defeat on his father's delay in returning to help, he could not escape the guilt in his heart.

It was because he was too conceited and greedy for merit, and he didn't take to heart the tenfold disparity between the enemy and us. Not only did he not listen to the advice of his generals, he neither shrank his forces and stuck to Jincheng for reinforcements, nor did he lead his army to withdraw and join the main force. to maintain the workhorse. It's him. Full of confidence, he thinks that his father will return to Jincheng immediately. It was he who thought they would be able to support the main reinforcements. And it was also him who scattered the already small auxiliary soldiers into the defense of three posts and four towns.

Although they only relied on 5,000 auxiliary troops and 20,000 young men and women temporarily recruited to defend three posts, four towns and one city, they also took advantage of the danger of the city and the sharp firearms to deal heavy blows to the invading enemy troops. Facing the Hu people's attack from all sides. They gave a powerful counterattack, fought bloody battles for three days and three nights, and killed nearly 20,000 Hu soldiers.

But at this time, he could only admit unwillingly and remorsefully that his plan had failed.

"We're defeated!" Zhang Yu looked up to the sky and sighed, and two lines of tears couldn't help but burst out of his eyes, "I am ashamed of the King of Qin, and I am ashamed of the brothers who died in battle!" ”

"General, the outcome is not yet known!"

"Yes! The firearms are gone, the crossbow arrows are gone, but we still have some arrows. We also have bayonets, and horizontal knives. We still have these brothers who are willing to fight to the end against Hulu! ”

"General, the blood will not be shed, and the battle will not stop, fight with them to the end!"

"That's it!" Zhang Yu shook his head slowly, "You guys have come down, King Qin is benevolent and righteous, and he will never offend your relatives!" ”

"Drop?"

"Drop?"

One by one, the soldiers of the Qin Domain, who were wearing blood-stained robes and could not see the true colors of their original battle robes, were excited young generals, "Our Qin army soldiers will never surrender!" ”

"Yes, there are only Qin troops who died in battle, and there are no Qin troops who surrendered!"

Even if they are only auxiliaries, they are still a member of the Qin army, maybe they are not the most elite Qin army, they may not be as powerful as the soldiers of the soldiers. But they were still wearing red military robes, and they fought under the guidance of the Flying Eagle Battle Banner. The glory of the soldiers, stirring in everyone's heart, surrender, is cowardice, and they will never be cowardly. Courage, glory, they always keep in their hearts.

"Who of you has no wife or children?" Zhang Yuli shouted: "King Qin is a well-known benevolent lord, an enlightened king, he will understand you and will not add to the crime." You have already persisted in fighting the enemy for three days and three nights with the enemy ten times our size, and you have fully proved your courage, and surrendering now cannot erase the courage and glory of your battle. But if you continue to fight now, you will just die in vain, what good will this be for the King of Qin, what good will it be for the Qin Domain, what good will it be for you, and what good will it do for your family? If you live, King Qin will eventually save everyone. ”

A middle-aged man with a circle of white gauze wrapped around his head and a purple-black blood scab on his face shouted: "Surrender the Hu people, and then be taken captive and sent to them as slaves? This life is better than death, ashamed of the King of Qin, ashamed of the ancestors, we would rather die than surrender, soldiers, just return as a horse leather shroud, that is glory! ”

"Yes, how can we be slaves to the barbarians?"

"Believe me, even then, it's only temporary. No matter what the price, King Qin will take you home! Zhang Yu said with a full voice, he firmly believed that the King of Qin would not abandon every soldier of the Qin army. If you surrender now, you will not fail the Qin Domain, nor will you fail the King of Qin, how can the King of Qin fail you? The king of Qin will definitely redeem the prisoners of war. Besides, although we were defeated, the Qin army will win this battle, as long as we leave our lives, why worry about not returning to our hometown and seeing our wives and children again? ”

The few remaining Qin army auxiliaries and wounded soldiers in the city were unshaken, no matter how he persuaded them, in everyone's hearts, the Qin army had never had a soldier who surrendered to the enemy before the battle since the king of Qin established the army in Shamen Town. It's not that they're not afraid of death, but they know that even if they die here, they don't have to worry too much. Their families, their wives, children, parents, and the King of Qin will take care of them with all their hearts. In peacetime, they trained in the army, and listened to the teachings about the glory of soldiers over and over again, which made them firmly imprinted in their hearts.

As soldiers, they can die in battle, but they must not be afraid, because they are soldiers, and behind them are parents, wives, children, brothers and sisters.

To be a soldier is to fight for others. It is an unsurpassed honor to fight for them, to fight and die to protect them.

Zhang Yu was still doing the most difficult persuasion, "Today's matter, I will bear all the blame alone!" ”

Above the city, I don't know who cried first, and immediately, the cry rang out.

In the crowd, a young man who was younger than Zhang Yu blushed and pushed away his comrades and stood up, walked in front of Zhang Yu, and said loudly: "General Zhang, it turns out that I take you as an example to worship, and in my heart, you are the idol that I respect and awe. But today. You let me down. ”

The young auxiliary's face was flushed. He only hung one arm, which was seriously injured in the battle, but he never quit the fight and has persevered until now.

"I don't know what Lu Dao is for Marshal Zhang did not lead his troops back to help, and I don't know whether it is right or wrong for you to face the Hu people this time, but I know that Lu Dao, the General Zhang three days ago, with 5,000 troops. But he also dared to face 50,000 Hu cavalry. He is fearless, he is full of fierce fighting spirit. At that time, he would never say any bullshit about surrender as he does now, nor would he say anything about all the responsibility, the bullshit that I bear alone, what we have done our best, and what surrender at this time will not damage our courage and glory, this is all bullshit, shit! ”

"General Zhang, have you been scared out of your guts by the Hu people? What about your courage. Aren't you the enemy of all people? What was the courage you had when you were sixteen years old and were able to take the rank of thief chief among the ten thousands? Are you afraid of death? ”

Zhang Yu stood there quietly, pointed at his nose and questioned by a young hunter who had just been recruited from Hebei. He wasn't angry. On the contrary, he felt a sense of relief, the soldiers of the Qin army, none of them were intimidated, but the more so, the more he couldn't let them be buried here in vain.

"I'm not afraid of death, I just don't want to see you die in vain!"

"Our life and death are up to us." Because in these three days of fighting, Luo Yan, a young man from Hebei Province, won the title of cannon glory by being able to throw thunderbolt bombs from the city twenty zhang away, and every time he could throw them into the crowd of the Hu people. This is an eighteen-year-old young man from Hebei, long and dark and burly, just like his nickname Ta'er.

He turned around and swept over the more than 1,000 wounded soldiers behind him, there were not only the Qin army auxiliaries who had been fighting, but also the young men of Jincheng and the surrounding Han Dynasty who were temporarily recruited by these geniuses, after three days of fierce fighting, 5,000 auxiliary soldiers, 20,000 young soldiers, and only more than 1,000 auxiliary soldiers were left at this time, and less than 8,000 young soldiers. The heaviest losses are the auxiliary soldiers, three gangs, four towns and one city, a fierce battle of one pass, desperate and bloody battles, in the end, three gangs and four towns fell one after another, all the auxiliary soldiers and young men sent were killed, and the most reluctant Jincheng also fell soon.

Luo Yan swept over the brothers who had been fighting side by side these days, and shouted loudly: "Are you afraid of death? ”

"Don't be afraid"

"I'm afraid of a bird!"

"People can't die!"

"Eighteen years later, I'm a good man again!"

"It's not certain who will die or who will live!"

What answered him was everyone's chaotic replies and curses, but in Zhang Yu's ears, it was so cute and moving.

Luo Yan slammed his chest with his intact right hand, banging, and shouted excitedly: "I'm afraid of death, to be honest, I'm only eighteen this year, and before I came, the family had already agreed that a girl from a neighboring village would marry." When I received the order to go out, my father and my mother told me that they would marry my daughter-in-law who had not passed through the door immediately, and they were even willing to pay an extra ten times for the bride price. I know that they are afraid of the danger of the battlefield, and there is a case, if they become a pro-cave and pass through the room, even if they die in battle, we can be regarded as a gentleman. ”

After saying so many words at one time, Ta'er was a little excited, he paused, and continued: "But I didn't agree, we are the ones who are going to the battlefield, if we die in battle, won't it hurt her for the rest of her life." If she doesn't get married, she can still find a good family to marry. ”

There was a long silence.

"I'm afraid of death, my daughter-in-law hasn't married yet, what is it like to be a woman in my life!" Luo Yan suddenly roared and roared loudly, "But I also know that we are soldiers, and our father and mother can live a stable life now, have a house to live and a meal, who gave this?" Who gave the 100 acres of land that our family shared? When we were training in the township, we taught us to read, and we didn't understand the glory and duty we were talking about. The teaching told me that the King of Qin said that everyone has a death, which is lighter than a feather or heavier than Mount Tai. Even if we can't die heavier than Mount Tai, we can't be lighter than a bird's feather! I don't understand other big truths, but I know that all these things that I and my family have today are all given by King Qin. Before the King of Qin came to Hebei, our family did not have enough to eat, we did not wear warm clothes, and my first three brothers were all over thirty years old and had no money to marry a daughter-in-law. Now, my family has a new house, my family has an official land, my brothers have married daughters-in-law, and my sisters have found good families, so they rush to these, and my life is the king of Qin. ‘

"I eat the grain of the King of Qin, carry the gun of the King of Qin, and follow the King of Qin to fight the world, even if I die in battle, I will never frown. General Zhang, I respect you, if the thing under your crotch is still there, and it hasn't been cut off by the Hu people of the dog day, then never say anything to make us surrender, General Zhang, brothers, let's fight the Hu dog to the end! ”

"Fight to the end!" Countless auxiliaries who had similar experience to Luo Yan shouted in unison, and the sound shook for a long time!

Covered in blood, Zhang Yu, who was still disheartened just now, couldn't help but be ignited with excitement in his heart. couldn't help but raise his arms and shout, since this is the case, then fight happily and die fiercely. Lao Tzu Zhang Yu, the eggs are still there, Lao Tzu fought to the death with them! (To be continued......)
