Just as the soldiers in the northern border were busy arranging the migration of the people, a vanguard force of the imperial army came out halfway.
There were more than 500 people on the other side, but there were only more than 200 soldiers from the northern border escorting the people.
The difference in the number of people is more than twice, and in addition, some manpower must be allocated to protect the people. In fact, the difference between the enemy and ourselves is three to four times!
But even so, the soldiers in the northern border did not hesitate and immediately jumped into the battle with the enemy.
The leader responsible for escorting the people was just a deputy lieutenant named Li Shou who was only in his twenties.
He was also the first batch of refugees who fled to the north and were taken in by Qin Feng.
Facing an enemy several times his own, Li Shou did not hesitate at all. He raised his rifle high and shouted loudly: "All the soldiers will follow me to stop the enemy and buy time for the people to leave."
"For the King of Qin and for the Northern Territory, I will die!"
Li Shou knew very well that the enemies who could rush here must be elite. Coupled with the disparity in numbers, this battle would probably be a disaster.
Even though he knew he was going to die, Li Shou still launched a brazen attack on the enemy.
Wearing half armor and holding a rifle, he rushed to the enemy's formation and stabbed one to death. He pulled out the rifle and swiped horizontally to push back the enemies around him. He then stabbed three enemies in succession, killing two of them. .
As the first Beixi soldier to enter Beixi County, he was also the first Beixi soldier to receive training.
Although Li Shou is young, he has served in the Beixi Expeditionary Brigade and Beixi Qingqi. He has also participated in the Beixi County Defense Battle and the Beidi Battle.
Although Li Shouzhiyong cannot be compared with giants such as Ning Hu and Zhao Zhenhai, he is definitely a good player in the army.
Since it was an encounter, both sides had no formation at all.
Li Shou and more than a hundred brothers were fighting with five hundred enemies in a blink of an eye.
Qian Yun, a military officer in the vanguard of the imperial army, shouted at Li Shou while holding a two-handed sword and killing the northern soldiers in half armor in front of him.
"Surrender!"
"You can't win at all. As long as you surrender, you can save your life."
"If we resist stubbornly, blood will be spilled on the battlefield."
Faced with Qian Yun's persuasion to surrender, Li Shou didn't even wrinkle his eyelids, but became more fierce and fierce: "Surrender? Hahahaha, what a big joke!"
"Open your dog eyes and see carefully. I am not only a soldier in the North, but also a person from Beixi."
"Since King Qin came here, have any of the Beixi soldiers surrendered?"
"For King Qin, even if blood is spilled on the battlefield, what do you have to fear?"
As he spoke, Li Shou stabbed Bu Shu again, making an enemy.
Not only Li Shou, but also all the soldiers in the northern border who participated in escorting the people gave out loud shouts.
"The soldiers in the northern border refused to retreat. They either advanced with great success or were buried in horse leather."
"come!"
"If you are not afraid of death, come here. Even if I die, I will use you as my backer."
Qian Yun knew that the morale of the soldiers and horses in the northern border was extremely strong, but he did not expect that any second-line combat force escorting the people would be so brave and strong.
He secretly sighed in his heart, if all the soldiers in the north were like this, it would be even more difficult to win this battle.
However, Qian Yun won this encounter.
Now that the opponent was ready to fight to the death, Qian Yun no longer wasted his words. He also shouted angrily: "Kill them all!"
Although Li Shou and others fought bloody battles and fought extremely bravely, the disadvantage was too great to make up for, and the rate of casualties was getting faster and faster.
In just one stick of incense, only about thirty of the more than a hundred brothers around Li Shou were left.
There are more than 400 people on Qian Yun's side.
Four hundred versus thirty, the gap is getting wider and wider.
Qian Yun did not give Li Shou any chance to breathe, and led his troops to launch the final annihilation.
As the brothers around him fell one after another, Li Shou was soon the only one left.
In order to facilitate the march, Li Shou only wore half armor. Faced with the siege, he was unable to resist. He was soon covered with bruises. When he was distracted, his left shoulder was directly pierced by a spear coming from the opposite direction.
"Forehead……"
Li Shou grunted, threw away the spear with great strength, pulled out the short knife from his waist, and cut off the spear shaft inserted in his shoulder.
His eyes were bloodshot, he kept making low gasping sounds, and glared at the enemies around him.
"For King Qin, I will die without regrets!"
"Even if I die, it is enough as long as the people can be transferred safely. Come on, even if I die, I will help a few more people to support me!"
Seeing Li Shou, who was not afraid of death and extremely tough, Qian Yun was also secretly moved.
He waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Brother, you and I are our own masters. Now that we are facing each other with swords, we are forced to do so."
"But don't worry, your death will not be in vain. After you die, we will give up chasing those people."
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding imperial soldiers took action almost at the same time, stabbing Li Shou with more than a dozen spears from different directions.
Li Shou's eyes widened and blood splattered all over his body. When the opponent pulled out the spear, he fell down softly.
But before he died, the expression on Li Shou's face was not anger, but relief.
He finally completed his mission and successfully escorted the people to safety.
Looking at Li Shou who died heroically, Qian Yun couldn't help but sigh, turned around and said solemnly to the soldiers present: "There is no need to clean the battlefield. Let these soldiers who died on the battlefield be left with dignity."
Although this decision was against the rules, there was no objection at all.
Everyone felt that this cannibalism was pointless, but they had no choice but to do as they were told.
Qian Yun turned around and looked at the direction in which the people were fleeing, with extremely complicated eyes. Until now, he couldn't believe that Shangfeng would actually issue an order to strengthen the walls and clear the country.
Although it is not difficult to understand the strategic intention, it is to disrupt the northern border's material shortage and offset the northern border's greatest advantage.
But……
How could the people in the northern border, and after all the people in Daliang, attack their own people?
Qian Yun felt useless and sad. He turned to look at Li Shou again, remained silent for a long time, and finally turned and left without saying a word.
The encounter in Lintao County was not a special case.
Such tragic small-scale battles are constantly taking place in the southern part of the northern border.
The imperial army knew the weakness of the northern border, and they launched a targeted attack on the migration team escorting the people.
The people in Lintao County are relatively lucky, but people in other places are not so lucky.
They were intercepted and massacred by countless imperial vanguard troops, resulting in heavy casualties.
The news had already reached Qin Feng's ears. Qin Feng's face was colder than ever before, and his eyes were extremely disappointed.
"Zhao Yulong, there must be a limit to any means necessary to achieve the goal."
