Fu Rong was sweating profusely. This had never happened before in the decades of military career of the Qin army commander, who was always known for his calmness. The hundreds of thousands of troops in front of him were like a landslide, like a rhinoceros. The ground was rampaging on the battlefield, trampling on each other. A large number of soldiers were desperate. They disarmed and abandoned their troops. They knelt down and asked to surrender. However, they were killed by the red-eyed Jin army. Less than half of them were lucky enough to survive and let the enemy survive. Prisoners, and the heads of more people were directly turned into military honors of the enemy and hung on the waist of the enemy. The battlefield was littered with corpses, rivers of blood, screams, wailing and begging for mercy in various languages. The sound of "The Qin army is defeated, run for your life" that was spread all over the battlefield half an hour ago, but not many people are shouting anymore.
Mao Dang was covered in dust as he rode back. There were three arrow feathers stuck in his shoulders and forearms. The wounds were bleeding faintly. His face was full of marks opened by sweat, and his whole body was covered with blood. Covered in blood, he was breathing heavily and said loudly to Fu Rong: "Commander, we can no longer withstand the front. I laid out two thousand steps, and finally formed an arrow array to delay time, oh, There are also more than ten chariots, also driven by my tribe members, to launch a final counterattack against the Jin army."
Fu Rong nodded and said in a deep voice: "General Mao, you have done a good job. I have seen it here. Now, you should immediately take your nephew to protect the King of Heaven. You don't have to worry about the things here anymore! "
Mao Dang's expression changed and he lost his voice and said: "Commander, let's go together. You are the commander-in-chief of the entire army, and the safety of the King of Heaven also depends on you. We can't get stuck here."
Fu Rong smiled miserably: "I am defeated like a mountain. As the coach, I have no shame in going to see the King of Heaven again. Now I can only delay here for a while. As long as my flag does not fall, I can hold on for a while. The King of Heaven will never go back." When Shouchun City comes out, the army is in chaos, and it is not easy to escape by car. You go over immediately and escort the King of Heaven. Don't sit in the mica chariot anymore, and ride back. There is still hope of survival. As long as the King of Heaven is here, we, Da Qin, will one day make a comeback!"
Mao Dang's eyes were sparkling with tears. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a burst of shouts in Di from a few hundred steps away: "The Qin army is defeated, run for your life!"
Fu Rong and Mao Dang both looked at the source of the sound, and saw in the smoke and dust, more than ten riders wearing Qin army armor and war robes, running and shouting these words, and a few riders ahead, Fu Rong saw To be sure, one was Zhu Xu and the other was Zhang Tianci. Xu Yuanxi, the Jin general who was captured in Shouchun City, also put on the Qin army's armor and rode a saddleless horse to follow. These people are running and shouting!
Mao Dang gritted his teeth, his eyes were blood red, and said with hatred: "No wonder our army was defeated on the battlefield at the critical moment. If everyone ran for their lives, the army of hundreds of thousands actually collapsed with these few words! It turned out to be These traitors are causing trouble! The good intentions of the King of Heaven have been ruined by these black-hearted thieves! I, I will chop off the heads of these dogs right now!"
The more Mao Dang talked, the angrier he became. His eyes were almost bleeding. As soon as he raised the sword, he was about to rush to kill someone. Fu Rong grabbed Mao Dang's horse rein and said in a deep voice: "No need to chase, the matter has already arrived." At this step, it is useless to kill these Jin traitors. Our army's defeat cannot be shouted out in just two sentences. It is because we cannot stop the Jin army's assault troops across the river and retreat step by step that the traitors will be allowed to die. We have found an opportunity. If we pursue them now, we will only miss the real deal. General Mao, go and protect the King of Heaven, we are here!"
Mao Dang gritted his teeth: "Are we going to let them run away like this? I won't accept it!"
A cold light flashed in Fu Rong's eyes, he picked up the big bow on the saddle, stringed the arrow, and shot an arrow at Zhu Xu. With a "woo" sound, Zhu Xu, who was more than fifty steps away, was shouting vigorously when he suddenly heard When there was a sound of piercing the sky, his expression changed, and he quickly lay on the horse's back. The arrow passed over the top of Zhu Xu's helmet, and hit a knight behind Zhu Xu, with a "pop" sound. , the arrow penetrated his chest and back, and the sergeant screamed, fell off his horse and died. Zhu Xu and others dared to scream again, and quickly leaned on the saddle and fled to the Jin army.
Fu Rong wanted to nock his bow and arrow again. Zhu Xu and others had already taken dozens of steps, and more than a hundred Jin soldiers in front of them also raised their bows and wanted to shoot. Zhu Xu quickly waved his hands and shouted: "Don't let go of the arrows." , I am Zhu Xu, the Jin general, and I have come here to join Commander Xuan!"
Fu Rong gritted his teeth and watched Zhu Xu and others jump off their horses one by one, raise their hands high, and run towards the Jin army's queue. Dozens of Jin soldiers had already stepped forward to tie him up. On this battlefield, There was no way to identify the prisoners for the time being, so they had to resort to this method. Zhu Xu and others were strung together in a string and escorted to the rear. They even glanced back in Fu Rong's direction, with a look of joy and pride in their eyes.
Fu Rong put down the big bow in his hand and sighed: "Maybe it is God's will. These traitors cannot be shot to death. We really suffered miserably at the hands of the thieves this time. General Mao, remember, this The Second Southern Expedition was the vicious plan of traitors like Murong Chui, Yao Chang, and Zhu Xu. Now the facts have proved that they had planned it long ago, and we were completely defeated. If I can't go back, you must tell the King of Heaven. Be careful of the two thieves Murong Chui and Yao Chang, it is best to kill them directly to avoid future troubles!"
Mao Dang nodded seriously: "I've written it down, Marshal. You'd better come with me. If you tell the King of Heaven in person, he will believe it more."
Fu Rong shook his head and looked at the shield and bow formation of more than 2,000 infantrymen a hundred paces in front of him. The warrior dressed in bearskin, wielding a big hammer and sweeping away thousands of troops, sighed: "I thought Among the Jin army, warriors like Liu Yu are invincible. Unexpectedly, this madman in bearskin seems to be even crazier when he attacks. No wonder we will lose this time. Now I have to stop this madman here. , General Mao, execute the military order, go and protect the King of Heaven, remember what I said!"
Mao Dang sighed and gave a military salute to Fu Rong: "Take care, Commander, I wish you peace!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and reined in the horse, and whipped it hard on the buttocks. The horse neighed and flew away. The more than ten riders behind him followed closely, and soon disappeared into the smoke behind. among.
Fu Rong turned his head, slowly lowered his face, looked at Liu Jingxuan who was already running towards his own formation, and said in a deep voice: "The whole army obeys the order, within thirty steps, arrows will be fired in unison. Shoot the enemy to death! Whoever takes his head will be rewarded with ten thousand gold and be made a marquis!"
As Fu Rong spoke, he slowly pulled up the bowstring, and the long wolf-toothed arrow shot up against his face. He murmured in his mouth: "Can you block this arrow?!"
