"Hold them off for me!"
Tiemu Na roared in despair. Wang Qi was really going to fall, and the morale of the army was completely messed up.
They were already in a difficult situation, and it was late at night. They were relying on this royal flag to rally their troops. If this flag fell down, he really didn't know what would happen.
The war supervising team he sent to the front were all dead now, and the soldiers behind him began to be timid again. At this time, the only ones he could control were the last 500 warriors in his tribe.
If all these people were dead, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to find the people to protect his safety. But the Han army was so close that he had to grit his teeth and send these people forward.
"Hahahaha! Keep that bitch for me, he belongs to our captain!"
Just as Ergou and the others were working hard towards Wang Qi, Yuan Qing finally led his troops to catch up.
There are more and more Huns behind them. The team of 1,500 people is now less than 300, and the number of casualties is still increasing.
During this whole process, except for one or two war trumpets that occasionally broke out.
Many people died without even screaming...
Yuan Qing stared at Temugna with red eyes, like a wild beast that chooses people to devour.
"These people are clearly at the end of their rope, yet they can still be so brave... When did the Han people start to have such a bloody spirit..."
Yi Zhi stood on a rock and watched the battle in the distance with cold eyes. From what he saw with his own eyes, the bravery of the Han army far exceeded his imagination.
At this point in the battle, they have already been defeated, and they were completely defeated...
Even if the people in this valley survive, they may not even have the courage to hold a sword when they face the Mo Dao Army again.
The other Huns could escape, but the 500 people around Temugna could not escape. If they escaped, Temugna would only die.
According to the rules on the grassland, if Temugna dies, all of them will be turned into slaves even if they are alive.
"kill--"
So now they can only wave the scimitars in their hands, drive the sitting horses, and rush forward as if they are dying...
Under the absolute crushing of equipment, courage cannot actually bring them victory. Most of the time, it can only lead to faster death.
"Monkey! Help me!"
Seeing that he was less than ten steps away from Wang Qi, the two dogs couldn't kill him no matter what.
Those Huns rushed forward as if they were crazy. If one of them was killed, a second one would come up immediately. It was as if they were sending themselves to death...
Even the scimitars in their hands could only leave a white mark on the Han army's armor...
"good!"
The monkey shouted, summoned up the remaining strength in his body, slashed the two Huns to death with one blow, and strode forward to stand beside Ergou.
"ah--"
"kill--"
"kill--"
Even though there were more, he was helping from the front, and the two dogs shared the pressure, but they still failed to take a step forward. Seeing the war falling into an anxious state, Yuan Qing felt anxious...
"Master Prefect, the soldiers have been assembled, but they don't want to leave the city..."
In Yiqu City, the despairing Zhou Yafu leaned against the window in despair, staring at the twinkling stars in the sky in a daze, when he suddenly heard a report from an official outside the door.
"Absurd! How can anyone be willing or unwilling in military and national affairs?"
Zhou Yafu's face suddenly turned ugly. If he hadn't been forced to do so, why would he have been willing to make such a choice?
"Sir, most of the soldiers in our army are local children. Let them go out of the city to rescue Xiao Guan at this time..."
When the subordinate officer said this, he couldn't go on. Of course he understood Zhou Yafu's difficulties, but it was not incomprehensible for the soldiers to make the choice they made now...
"Prepare your horses and go to the military camp!"
Zhou Yafu took a deep breath. He must resolve this matter personally. If it is delayed any longer, it might lead to a mutiny. At this time, the Huns are making trouble outside the city. If there is a mutiny in the city at this time...
Not to mention rescuing Xiao Guan, it's unclear whether Yiqu City can be defended.
"promise!"
The subordinate officials did not dare to talk nonsense and hurriedly asked people to go down and prepare their horses...
After hurriedly changing his clothes, Zhou Yafu got off his horse and headed straight to the military camp with a few guards.
By the time Zhou Yafu arrived, the 20,000 Han troops had already assembled on the campus, but there were constant noises coming from the campus.
"The governor is here!"
Following the shouts of several guards, the entire school grounds suddenly became quiet.
"I heard that none of you are willing to leave the city. Is this true?"
Zhou Yafu rode his horse to the high platform in front, got off his horse, and stepped onto the high platform step by step. After scanning the soldiers at the scene for a week, he spoke.
"Master Taishou, if you ask us to fight the Huns, we won't hesitate. But at this time, if we go to rescue Xiaoguan, do we still need Yiqu City?"
With the situation like this, everyone on the left and right is dead. A tall soldier gritted his teeth, then walked out from the crowd and knelt on the ground and said.
"May I have your name?"
Zhou Yafu was silent for a moment, and seemed not to blame him, but just asked.
"Back to the Grand Administrator, the young man's name is Li Jinqi. There is no one else encouraging the young man. Please tell me, the Grand Administrator!"
Of course he knew the consequences of disobeying military orders, but he really didn't want to just watch Yiqu fall...
"I know that you are all my warriors, and I have no intention of blaming you..."
While Zhou Yafu was speaking, he slowly walked down the high platform, came to Li Jinqi, stretched out his hand to help him up...
"I know that many of you are locals. If you go to Xiaoguan, your family may be ruined... I don't blame you..."
There was silence on the campus, with only Zhou Yafu's voice echoing continuously.
"Speaking of which, I, Zhou Yafu, am not as good as you. You all know that I, the Zhou family, come from a general family. When my late father was here, I spent all my time flying around like an eagle and a lackey, swaggering through the streets. It wasn't until I was twenty that my father threw me into the military camp. "
"When my father passed away, my eldest brother was involved in a life-threatening lawsuit and even lost his title. If it hadn't been for the help of His Highness, the entire Zhou family, I'm afraid they would all be starving to death now!"
"Finally, with a little honor from my late father, Your Majesty gave me such an opportunity to come to Beidi County as the prefect. However, who would have thought that such a thing would happen? Don't I know that you are gone? , Beidi County is about to be destroyed, and the Zhou family’s hope of final revival is over?"
When Zhou Yafu said this, his face was also filled with bitterness.
"I know that you all can't figure it out, and I can't figure it out either, but there's nothing we can do! We only have 30,000 people now, and Pengyang's people can't move because they have to prevent the Huns from Shangjun from invading and joining forces with these bandits. One place! Let’s go to rescue Xiaoguan. If there are too few people, they will be eaten by the Huns. Even if we are lucky, we can’t solve the problem by barely reaching Xiaoguan..."
"But if we don't save Xiao Pass, Beidi County will be safe, but do you know that once Xiao Pass is defeated, the gateway to the pass will be opened, and there will no longer be any danger before Chang'an! If ambitious people take advantage of the situation again, the overthrow of the Han Dynasty will be around the corner!"
When Zhou Yafu said this, he was already in tears...
"Brothers, I, Zhou Yafu, beg you, for the sake of the Han Dynasty and the people of this world, send your army south to rescue Xiaoguan! On behalf of the people of this world, thank you!"
The entire school grounds fell into dead silence. After a moment of silence, all the soldiers suddenly knelt down on one knee, bowed to Zhou Yafu, and then began to drive out of the school grounds one by one...
