"Grandfather!" Thorin shouted, stumbled forward and helped Yu Tu up.
"Old Patriarch!" Others also shouted and rushed forward.
Not only the nostrils of Yu Tu were seen, but also a trace of blood spilled from the corners of the mouth, and he passed out with an extremely pale face.
Thorin quickly carried Yu Tu into the dormitory, and then personally gave Yu Tu medicine.
However, Yu Tu clenched his teeth and couldn't pry his mouth open.
The three elders also came after hearing the inquiry. After asking about the cause of the matter, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts when they saw Yu Tu's somewhat withered face.
I am afraid that no matter how brilliant the miracle doctor is, there is nothing he can do to save the day.
It was probably because Yu Tu heard the news that Lao Ai was torn apart by a car, and his already fragile body could not withstand such a blow.
Now I can only hope that Yu Tu can hold on for a little longer.
Gradually, Yu Tu's condition stabilized. Although his breath was weak, he finally did not die.
Thorin turned around, looked at the three elders, and asked: "Elders, now that the clan leader is in such a situation, should we retreat temporarily or continue to attack Qin?"
Regarding this, Thorin cannot make his own decision and must discuss it with the elders.
"We have already discussed it. With the current situation, if we retreat, it will probably be even more difficult for us to rely on the power of the Rong and Di tribes in the future," the third elder said.
"Yes, while the old patriarch can still hold on for a while, we should work together to win the Great Qin. Otherwise, how can we be worthy of the old patriarch's life-long efforts." The fourth elder said, "What's more, even if we go back, the old man The clan leader may not get better. If we continue to fight forward, we might catch the doctor and be able to heal him."
"Yes." The fifth elder was still as concise and to the point.
Although they were quite worried about Yu Tu's health, what the three elders said was reasonable, so Thorin nodded and said: "Then get the army horses in order, and we will set off immediately after the detective horses find out the situation ahead."
"Yes." The three clan leaders replied in unison.
"Also," Thorin said, "Don't publicize the news that the old patriarch is seriously ill. Otherwise, I'm afraid foreign friendly forces will have other ideas."
The three clan leaders nodded and prepared to go separately.
Thorin arranged for a maid to take good care of Yu Tu, and ordered the guards to strictly guard the dormitory, and no foreigners were allowed to visit.
In the afternoon, two groups of Tanma who went out to inquire about news came back.
"To report to the Young Patriarch, there is nothing unusual in Longxi. It is said that most of the defenders in the city have been mobilized. Currently, there are only 20,000 infantry left in the city." He said to the scout.
Another scout on the road said: "There are indeed traces of the army on the official road from Longxi to Yongcheng. The people also say that a large army passed there a few days ago."
Thorin nodded and analyzed: "It seems that the entire Longxi garrison has indeed been transferred to Yongcheng."
"That means King Qin doesn't know that we have come over." The fourth elder said.
Qiang Yu thought for a while and said: "Indeed, if they knew our strategy, how could they withdraw the city defense here?"
Thorin walked back and forth a few steps and asked, "In your opinion, should we continue to march eastward and go straight to Longxi?"
"Of course." The third elder said quite confidently, "Not to mention that the defenders there have been transferred. Even if there are 50,000 defenders there, we will capture it."
"That's right." The fourth elder said, "That's the only way to attack Qin, and there will definitely be doctors there."
"Kill." The fifth elder replied simply.
"Okay!" Thorin said, "Since the elders have agreed to attack, we will set off immediately and go straight to Longxi."
"Take your orders!" Everyone responded in unison.
In this way, the attack strategy was decided, and the army repaired all night. Early the next morning, three thousand warriors were left to guard Yongding Pass, and the remaining one hundred thousand cavalry marched towards Longxi County.
.
Along the way, Thorin did not forget to spread the news to the people. He said that the Rongdi tribe heard that King Qin had obtained two princes and came to congratulate him. However, he heard that there was a change in the palace on the way, so he came with an army to help.
By calming the people, they would not cause panic and would not prematurely alarm the Longxi defenders.
The third elder originally suggested burning, killing, and looting all the way, but Thorin directly rejected it.
It can be seen that Thorin's nature is indeed pure and good.
On this day, we finally approached Longxi County.
After setting up camp, Thorin gathered with the elders of his tribe and the leaders of each tribe to discuss tactics.
"Everyone, I just reported that the Qin army lost 40,000 elite soldiers in the battle of Xianyang and has been severely weakened." Solin said loudly.
"OK!"
"Yes, Da Qin must have been badly burned when there was a fire in the backyard this time."
"No wonder there's no pressure on our side. They must have gone to put out the fire."
Everyone laughed.
Thorin raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said: "Unfortunately, my uncle, Changxin Hou Lao'ai, died in the battle of Xianyang and was unable to survive until the moment he reunited with us."
Everyone's smiles were still on their faces, but their expressions were extremely embarrassing.
"But I think that since my uncle's Changxin Army and the Qin Army are both in a lose-lose situation, then we should take advantage of the fact that the Qin Army has not slowed down, quickly occupy a favorable situation, and completely suppress the morale of the Qin Army." Thorin said.
"Okay!" Qiang Yu said loudly, "Then we might as well do what we did last time and attack Longxi County at night."
Thorin shook his head and said: "That's not right. When we come here at Yongding Pass, the Qin army will not notice it at all. Maybe they are gathering troops to deal with us, and if we still attack their city, we will have to If you don’t say anything about being laughed at by them, you will probably fall into their trap.”
"That's true." Qiang Yu said.
"Now that we are here, let's declare war on them openly and openly." said the outspoken fourth elder.
"Okay! Then let's submit a letter of war and declare war legitimately!" Thorin took the opportunity to say.
It can be seen that Thorin actually disdains sneak attacks on others and likes to compete openly and openly.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"In this case, how should we fight against Longxi County in front of us?" the third elder asked.
Thorin thought for a while and said: "Our cavalry is suitable for field battles on the battlefield, but is not good at attacking fortified battles. Therefore, we must draw out the Qin army defending the city. Only in this way can we give full play to our advantages."
"Then how can we lure them out?" asked an elder from Quanrong.
Thorin seemed to have a plan, and after thinking for a while, he said: "It is the farming season now. Why don't we stop the people and prevent them from farming. In this way, the Qin army will definitely come out to fight with us. Otherwise, the people will see They have no regard for the life and death of the people, so they will rise up and rebel against them."
"OK!"
"What a brilliant idea! What a brilliant idea!"
"That's it."
People understand the importance of farming in the natural way to the Qin Dynasty, but the Rong Di army relies on cattle and sheep for food. If the people are not allowed to farm, it is equivalent to cutting off the food and grass in the city.
Who will sit still and wait for death?
After the agreement, Solin submitted a letter of war to Longxi County in the name of the coach, and then sent people to intercept the people farming.
After making military arrangements, Thorin sent a dozen of his followers to the city to ask for a doctor.
These cronies coaxed and coaxed three doctors to take turns diagnosing and treating Yu Tu's illness.
The diagnostic results were basically not much different.
It turned out that Yu Tu had suffered from heart depression for many years, and the pressure in his heart was huge. Later, he suffered a big blow. Under the intense fire, the blood stagnated in the brain. If the blood congestion was not removed, his life would be difficult to save.
The cause of the disease was diagnosed, but no matter how hard Thorin begged, the three doctors were unable to do anything. Apart from prescribing some drugs to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, there was no good solution.
This made Thorin anxious, but he didn't know what to do.
However, there was also good news. The Qin army in the city heard that the Rong Di army had blocked the people's farming roads and captured many farmers. Finally, they could no longer sit still, opened the city gate, and came to fight.
Thorin ordered the third elder to lead his tribe in the lead, with Qiang Yu supporting on the flanks, while he led the main force of the Chinese army to charge at the appropriate time.
The third elder looked disdainfully at the Qin army array opposite, and saw that the number was indeed less than 20,000.
The third elder urged his horse, came to the front of the two armies, and said loudly: "Who is the leader of the Qin army? Come out and answer quickly, otherwise, I'm afraid you won't have a chance in a while!"
"What a loud tone!" I heard a shout, and a horse jumped out from the array. The man on the horse had a round face and big eyes, a somewhat sparse beard, and a rather burly figure. Judging from his appearance, he was a general of the Qin Army.
This person was Xu Wan, the former general who stayed in Longxi County.
Xu Wan drove his horse up to the third elder and raised his voice: "Are you the Rong Di tribe who broke through Yongding Pass and came to offend our great Qin?"
"Hahaha..." The third elder laughed and said, "Yes, it seems that the Qin army still knows our reputation. Who is your general? Come out quickly and answer the question. You are just a few people, so you should go back to feed the horses."
After hearing the arrogance of the third elder, Xu Wan not only did not get angry, but also laughed: "Suwen Rongdi is a rude and rude person. When I saw it today, it turned out to be true. If I guessed correctly, you are the elder of the clan." , go and call your king, I want to ask him how dare he offend the Qin Dynasty."
"Hmph! Are you worthy?!" the third elder said coldly, "Those who know better, put down the weapons in your hands and hand over the city. Perhaps, this elder will consider giving you a chance to herd sheep."
Xu Wan said rather contemptuously: "Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, in the past, Rong Di led horses to pay tribute, but now Rong Di rides horses to brag. The world is really declining."
This sentence made the third elder angry. He shouted loudly and urged his horse to raise his sword and chop.
Xu Wan did not hesitate. He straightened up the halberd in his hand and blocked the attack head-on.
The two people who originally wanted to talk ended up in the same place over a disagreement.
On the Rong Di side, the warriors raised their arms and shouted, making the most wild roars, shouting for the third elder.
On the Qin army's side, the drums were beating loudly, and the soldiers cheered Xu Wan in unison.
The third elder was furious and used brute force on his sword.
Xu Wan was neither impatient nor impetuous, and used clever tricks to resolve the situation.
Boxing is afraid of young people, and there is an age difference of more than 20 years between the two. Naturally, Xu Wan seems more relaxed.
After more than twenty moves between the two, the third elder saw that he could not gain any advantage. After making a feint, he turned the horse's head and ran back.
When the Qin army officers saw this, they burst into laughter.
Xu Wan didn't chase him, he just watched the third elder run away.
The third elder was already upset after losing the battle, but he couldn't bear the laughter from the other side, so he ordered the front line of 10,000 cavalry to charge forward.
Xu Wan ordered the archers to shoot arrows to cover, while the infantry and cavalry ran towards the hills on the side.
Qin Jun's move surprised even the three elders.
Why, if you don’t want the city anymore, why run eastward?
The third elder thought that Xu Wan must be afraid of his cavalry, so he ordered the front army to continue the pursuit.
You know, on the frontal battlefield, it is rare to retreat without a fight. Once caught up, the chaotic formation is likely to lead to the annihilation of the entire army.
While the Rong and Di soldiers were happily pursuing, they saw the distance getting closer and closer, but they heard a rumble of drumming from the other end of the hill not far away, which was several times louder than the Qin army's drumming just now.
The third elder's heart tightened and he secretly shouted: No!
