Xie Xuan took a deep breath, thinking about his old father's teachings, gritted his teeth, and said: "General Fan, do you and I still have a way out? Once we leave the Hengjiang Estuary, we will definitely be targeted. Especially now, Your Majesty is in urgent need of A battle to win. If you win this battle, you will be the hero of Qin. But if you lose, the consequences will be serious and you will definitely be punished. So, fight to the death, I will fight to the end with you."
This was something Xie Xuan thought about deeply.
This fight will be fought to the end.
There is no retreat in this battle.
Once he retreats, not only will his personal honor and disgrace be lost, but his family will also be affected.
This is what Xie Xuan doesn't want to do the most.
Fan Chong was silent for a long time after hearing this. He had to admit that Xie Xuan's words made sense.
Fan Chong nodded. He looked at the soldiers who were fighting, then at the burning fire around them, and said loudly: "Soldiers, kill! If we don't succeed in this battle, we will be benevolent. In this battle of ours, there is no room for retreat." .”
"kill!"
Fan Chong shouted loudly.
He also stopped sitting in command and joined the battlefield himself.
Only Xie Xuan was in command.
In fact, Xie Xuan did not have the ability to command a war. He had never experienced a war. Watching Fan Chong charge into the battlefield and watching the soldiers dying around him, he smelled the strong smell of blood around him and felt very uneasy.
This battle is too difficult.
What he thought was a fight would be that the Qin State would continue to invest soldiers, and the Jin State would also continue to send soldiers to catch up.
The two sides used the entrance of the camp as a stronghold and continued to confront each other.
In the end, it didn't.
The Qin State actually arranged fire ships to attack from both sides, breaking the water stronghold's defense line.
Xie Xuan watched quietly as the fighting continued. However, as the war continued, the soldiers led by Fan Chong began to be unable to stop them. More and more Qin soldiers continued to attack them, causing the soldiers led by Fan Chong to retreat steadily.
Fan Chong also retreated again and again.
He retreated to a place not far from Xie Xuan, raised his voice, and said loudly: "Master Xie, retreat quickly. We can't stop him anymore. We can't stop him anymore."
"If you don't retreat, you won't retreat until you fight to the death."
Xie Xuan shook his head.
He even ordered to take out the Emperor's Talisman, stood it directly in his hand, and said loudly: "Everyone, fight to the death and never retreat. I, Xie Xuan, stand here. I, Xie Xuan, stand behind you."
He did not choose to retreat.
Once defeated and fled back, I am afraid that the Xie family would have been dealt with by the emperor before they could turn to serve the Qin State.
So he stayed on the front lines.
As long as he doesn't die, his reputation will be established. This is what his father planned for him.
This is fighting for your life.
However, Xie Xuan also knew that this choice was the only one.
The reputation of the Xie family cannot be tarnished.
Fan Chong heard Xie Xuan's words and saw Xie Xuan holding the talisman. His figure was shaken, and an incredible look appeared on his rough face.
Xie Xuan was so decisive.
You know, Xie Xuan is from the Xie family, and he is so brave and not afraid of death.
He is worthy of being a descendant of a noble family.
Fan Chong was greatly inspired, and he said loudly: "Everyone, fight to the death and fight with me. If you want to stop the Qin army, you must stop the Qin army."
He held the knife and kept slashing.
Under the guidance of Fan Chong and Xie Xuan, soldiers from the entire Jin side were fighting to the death in large numbers. If a soldier is not afraid of death, the whole army will be brave and not afraid of death.
The resistance of the Jin army prevented the Qin army from conquering the camp even if it was on fire.
Lin Feng was on the deck and saw this scene with a look of surprise in his eyes.
Unexpectedly, Jin State was still resisting.
"Report!"
A soldier quickly came to Lin Feng and reported: "My lord, General Xun Peng said that Xie Xuan, the envoy of the Emperor of Jin, appeared in the Jin military camp. He represented the Emperor of Jin and personally supervised the battle on the front line. , command all soldiers to resist."
"Xie Xuan holds the talisman and fights to the death without retreating."
"The Jin soldiers, led by Fan Chong, charged with their soldiers and blocked our army."
"The war is at a stalemate for the time being."
The soldier said: "General Xun Peng said that in one hour at most, the Jin camp can be broken."
Lin Feng smiled lightly.
An hour is too long.
After fighting until now, what should be sharpened has already been sharpened. We must defeat the enemy quickly, there is no need to waste time.
Lin Feng ordered: "Send an order and ask Abbot Xuchen of White Horse Temple to lead the Eighteen Arhats to fight and directly break the last line of defense of the Jin Kingdom."
"Here!"
The messenger immediately made arrangements.
It didn't take long, Xu Chen quickly went into battle with the Eighteen Arhats.
At this moment, Xu Chen was even more motivated to destroy the Jin Kingdom this time, although this was a matter for the military officers. It is also a rare opportunity for him. As long as they participated in the overthrow of the Jin State, the White Horse Temple would also benefit after the Jin State was overthrown.
"kill!"
Xu Chen ordered in a low voice.
He himself was on the water, flying through the air, stepping on the water and moving forward steadily.
The Eighteen Arhats followed.
In the blink of an eye, the group of people arrived at the entrance of the water village and went in directly.
Xu Chen said loudly: "Everyone, follow the poor monk and kill him."
He waved an iron rod in his hand and landed on the crowd, sweeping away a large area. In front of Xu Chen, the defense line of Jin soldiers was directly broken. Especially with the support of the Eighteen Arhats, the Jin soldiers were unable to resist.
Xun Peng also quickly joined Xu Chen and rushed forward together.
When Xun Peng and Xu Chen broke through, Jin's defense line was already in danger.
Fan Chong sensed the possible collapse of Jin's defense line, and he had a bitter look on his face. If one's own troops are large enough in a large-scale fight and can block it, then even if the Grand Master breaks through, the Grand Master will definitely fall into a sea of people.
Wave after wave of soldiers surged forward, enough to hold back the Grand Master.
But now, the situation is unfavorable.
The resistance of the Jin State was originally a stubborn resistance and perseverance in desperate situations. After exhausting all their strength, they finally reached a stalemate, but at this moment they were broken through by the Grand Master, and the entire situation completely changed.
The Jin's defense line was immediately broken as the Qin army counterattacked.
It’s over!
Fan Chong sighed in his heart when he saw the breached defense line. The joy before was gone, only helplessness and despair remained.
Completely unstoppable.
Fan Chong sighed inwardly. He retreated quickly, returned to Xie Xuan's side in a blink of an eye, and said loudly: "Master Xie, we can't stop him. We have tried our best in this battle, and it is no longer possible to stop him. Let's retreat."
"No retreat!"
Xie Xuan shook his head and refused.
With a determined look on his face, he said: "General Fan, if you want to retreat, I won't stop you. But I will fight to the end and I will never retreat."
"Why are you bothering?"
Fan Chong had a look of confusion on his face.
Up to now, they have tried their best. It's not that they want to retreat, it's not that they want to give up, it's that they really have no chance.
Xie Xuan said in a deep voice: "General Fan, it's not that I have to hold on, but that I must hold on. As an envoy sent by His Majesty, I must fight to the death. If I give up now, Your Majesty will hold me accountable. Therefore, I must stay Come down. If you're going to retreat, retreat."
"How can I leave you?"
Fan Chong smiled bitterly and said: "I can't leave you here. If I leave you and go back, Your Majesty will also punish me."
Xie Xuan held his head high, fearless.
He gritted his teeth and said, "That's all, I'll fight to the death, or I'll be killed at worst."
"All officers and men, follow me and kill."
"Kill."
Fan Chong turned the sword in his hand and rushed forward with his men. In the blink of an eye, he ran into Xu Chen.
Fan Chong's strength is also in the Grandmaster realm. He is in the early stage of the Grandmaster realm. He has no chance to resist in front of Xu Chen.
As soon as they met, Fan Chong fell to the ground.
"Take it!"
Xu Chen ordered.
The accompanying soldiers stepped forward and quickly captured Fan Chong.
Xu Chen's eyes turned and fell on Xie Xuan who was holding the talisman. He strode forward, swung his long stick in his hand, and knocked down the Jin soldiers blocking the front to the ground.
The distance between Xu Chen and Xie Xuan quickly narrowed.
Thirty steps!
Twenty steps!
When the distance between the two sides narrowed to less than ten steps, Xie Xuan felt a little panicked in his heart.
Even though he chose to stay, he still felt uneasy in his heart when he faced Xu Chen leading people to kill him.
His legs were shaking a little.
He was a little scared in his heart.
At this moment, he even wanted to evacuate, but in the end, he stayed where he was.
call out!
A figure appeared in front of Xie Xuan in an instant.
Xu Chen raised his sword in his hand and slashed it down.
Snapped!
The knife fell on Xie Xuan's neck. Xie Xuan closed his eyes and fell into a coma.
"Take it!"
Xu Chen ordered again.
Another soldier came forward and quickly captured Xie Xuan.
Fan Chong and Xie Xuan were captured, and the Emperor's Talisman was captured. As Xu Chen shouted the news of the Jin army's defeat, the soldiers on the Jin side finally collapsed at this time.
The Qin army was like a mighty torrent, sweeping past mightily.
The Jin army was defeated like a mountain.
The entire Hengjiangkou Fortress, which was burning with fire, could no longer be held back and collapsed completely.
Lin Feng stood on the deck and saw this scene, with a smile on his lips. This time he captured Hengjiangkou, and the next step was the Jin camp in Caishiji.
Lin Feng waited quietly.
An hour and a half later, the war was completely over. Xun Peng had arrived at Lin Feng's flagship. He looked excited, clasped his fists and said, "My lord, I rely on you to arrange support and break the Jin defense line."
"We completely broke the Jin camp at Hengjiangkou and won the victory."
"In this battle, we did not suffer many casualties, with more than 3,600 people killed. However, we killed more than 18,000 people, captured more than 26,000 people, and some soldiers escaped."
"This battle is a complete victory."
"The key is that we captured Fan Chong from the Hengjiangkou camp, and also captured Xie Xuan, the envoy arranged by the Emperor of Jin."
Xun Peng continued: "Next, after we take a short rest, we can go to Caishiji. Caishiji is the last line of defense of Jinling City. As long as we break the defense line of Jinling City, we can win in one battle."
Lin Feng said with a smile: "You go and reorganize the army. The army will rest for two days and then send troops to Caishiji. Also, bring Xie Xuan with you."
"Here!"
Xun Peng smiled and stepped back.
He went to arrange for the soldiers to rectify the soldiers, and at the same time asked someone to bring Xie Xuan.
Xie Xuan was in a sorry state. When he saw Lin Feng, he smiled sarcastically, but he held his neck and did not salute.
He is now an envoy of the Jin State.
To become a prisoner, Xie Xuan also had to have the character of a Jin official.
Lin Feng waved his hand and said: "Bring the seat."
The soldier set up a stool, Lin Feng waved his hand and said, "Thank you, brother, sit down."
Xie Xuan originally had a sullen face, but now, seeing Lin Feng's attitude, the expression on his face could no longer be tense. He sighed and said, "I didn't expect that in the past, I would enjoy tea and wine with the Duke, but now I will He became a prisoner."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Brother Xie, what are you talking about? In my opinion, you are not a prisoner, but a proud scholar. The Jin army is obviously in defeat in the face of our Qin army's attack."
"If you wanted to evacuate, you could have left the battlefield and left the Hengjiangkou camp long ago."
"From beginning to end, you never backed down."
"Actually, it was your presence that held back our Qin army. If you hadn't held back the army, I wouldn't have needed to mobilize the Grand Master to take action in this battle. I could have crushed them when the fire attack was effective. Suppress the Jin army."
"As a scholar, when you go to the battlefield, you dare to fight in front of the battle. This is a sign of great courage. As a scholar, from beginning to end, you hold the talisman to encourage the soldiers to fight for the king's orders. This is a sign of great loyalty."
"Such a brave and loyal person is admirable."
Lin Feng smiled slightly and said: "How can I treat such a person harshly at will? This is not a prisoner, this is a talent."
Xie Xuan's cheeks twitched when he heard this.
In my heart, I was filled with emotion.
This is Lin Feng.
These are the people of Qin.
The Qin State's attitude towards its scholars was excellent and extremely kind. When he was in Qin, he saw Qin's thirst for talents. It's a pity that not many people were willing to go to Qin back then. In the short time that Lin Feng went to Qin, everything changed.
Up to now, the Qin State is extremely powerful.
The only thing that remains unchanged is that Qin has been extremely friendly to scholars from beginning to end.
Xie Xuan sighed and continued: "I lost this battle. Our camp at Hengjiangkou of Jin State was defeated. The next step is Caishiji. Jin State is in danger. I'm just a prince. Don't there be opportunities for relaxation between the two countries? ?"
"No!"
Lin Feng answered decisively.
Xie Xuan continued: "The State of Jin is willing to profess vassalage to the State of Qin, especially the identity of the Duke. In real terms, he is also the uncle of the State of Jin and the consort of the State of Jin. Doesn't the Duke of the State care about this at all?"
Lin Feng said: "Of course I have considered these, so the destruction of Jin will not do anything to Sima Chong. He is my father-in-law after all. When he arrives in Xianyang, there will naturally be someone to take care of him until his death. But the confrontation between Qin and Jin, this This is a state matter, this is a public matter, and they cannot be confused together."
Xie Xuan sighed.
He couldn't persuade.
He simply couldn't solve this matter and couldn't persuade them.
Lin Feng's eyes were bright, and he said with a smile: "Brother Xie, the sun is setting on the Jin Kingdom. At most, the entire Jin Kingdom will be completely captured in half a year. So on this occasion, it is completely unworthy for you to serve the Jin Kingdom." Yes, why not turn to serve Qin?"
Xie Xuan shook his head and said: "There is no way I can surrender."
At this moment, Xie Xuan was even more impressed by the power of his father, Xie Chong.
Planned everything early.
He won't surrender.
Especially the person in front of him was Lin Feng, someone he knew. Even if he doesn't surrender, Lin Feng is unlikely to kill him. So he lived until the end. In the end, the Jin State was destroyed and the Qin State was unified. It would not be too late for him to surrender.
As long as you have a reputation, you have everything.
This is identity.
Lin Feng smiled softly. Xie Xuan wanted to be loyal to the Jin State and wanted to persist. How could this be possible?
If you fall into his hands, you can only surrender.
There is no other possibility.
Lin Feng sighed and said: "It seems that I can only take the most helpless method now. Alas, if I don't kill Boren, Boren will die because of me."
When Xie Xuan heard Lin Feng's words, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
What's the meaning?
What does Lin Feng want to do with this emotion?
