In the valley, the Lingguo left army general was still leading people to break out of the encirclement.
"Rush! Rush out of here—"
He raised his sword and roared, and he was a general, and there were many shield bearers surrounding him.
Arrows shot from the top of his head non-stop, nailing each shield like a hedgehog.
There were also large rocks rolling down and hitting the shield array, causing a howl of misery.
In this case, the spirit army walked and died all the way. Finally, after leaving a pile of corpses, they rushed out of the ambush range on both sides.
But when he looked up, he saw in front of him all black armor and red tassels.
The heavy shield is in front and the halberd is behind.
The armored phalanx blocked the way.
Seeing this scene, the soldiers of the Ling Army who had finally escaped suddenly felt desperate.
The general's eyes were about to burst, and he let out his final roar: "Kill——"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was the first to rush out with his sword raised.
The spiritual army behind them had no choice but to shout and take courage and rush forward.
But during this process, several rows of crossbow arrows were fired.
The general was the one who rushed forward and blocked with his sword. Soon, he was hit by an arrow on his shoulder. After a moment of movement, there was another arrow. Then, random arrows hit his chest and abdomen.
His sword was still held high, his eyes widened, and he fell to the ground...
Valley ambush, coming to an end.
the other side.
Ye Gui fell into the trap and only pursued Xiao Yuan, causing the 40,000 defenders on the left line to be almost wiped out.
When he escaped from the Menghu Stream area and rode back to the defense line, he happened to encounter a young general of the Spirit Army and a group of soldiers with crooked helmets on the way.
Seeing him, the young general knelt on the ground with a bang and shouted in a tearful tone: "General..."
"General Fu, why are you here?" Ye Gui suddenly felt bad.
Because this young general was on the defense line of the left stronghold and the person in charge of military supplies, he did not go out to chase the enemy.
The young general's cry continued: "The last general is incompetent and failed to hold the camp. Now, the entire defense line has been occupied by Qin General Ai Ping..."
"What!?" Ye Gui was shocked when he heard this. He had just escaped not long ago, but his anger burned again and he couldn't help roaring:
"The King of Qin is hateful!"
"Thief Xiao is treacherous!"
"Trick me into being fooled! Attack our army——"
You must know that those in charge of military supplies are all logistics personnel, and the main force has gone out to pursue them. How can they defend it alone.
After Ye Gui roared angrily, he immediately grabbed his spear and said, "Kill! Kill him back! I swear to capture Xiao Thief alive! Eat his flesh! Sleep on his skin!"
He was so angry that he was ready to fight back at all costs with this few remaining soldiers.
When the young general heard this, his liver and gallbladder were split, and he said in a trembling voice: "General, our army has been defeated. Going back now is not only meaningless, but I am afraid there will be no return!"
"It doesn't matter if I die in battle! I'm going to fight with the King of Qin!" Ye Gui was brave and had no plans at all. Under the overwhelming anger, he could really do it.
The young general was in a panic and continued to persuade: "General, don't do this. Now, you should go back to Mengjin and ask the king to send troops to regain the defense line. Otherwise, your sacrifice will be in vain."
"ah--"
Ye Gui's mentality had exploded, with regret, annoyance, and unwillingness filling his chest.
Due to his reasons, all his soldiers were wiped out and the defense line was lost. At this time, he even wanted to die!
"Ye Gui is incompetent! He killed the soldiers! Now, how can I have the dignity to see His Majesty!"
He screamed in agony, thrust his spear into the ground, and suddenly pulled out his sword, holding it across his neck.
When the young general saw this, he was startled. He quickly stepped forward and held him down, saying urgently: "No, general!"
"Don't stop me!" Ye Gui's eyes turned red.
"General!" the young general shouted: "Right now, our army is at war with the Qin army, and the King of Qin is looking forward to the death of the general!"
His words woke up Ye Gui, who was stunned, then took a deep breath, put down his sword and said: "Yes, that's right! As a soldier, you should die on the battlefield, wrapped in horse leather! How can a man commit suicide! Even if he dies! We must kill King Qin first!"
After saying this, he regained some fighting spirit and returned his sword to its sheath: "Go back to Mengjin! Ye Mou apologizes to His Majesty!"
In this battle, Xiao Yuan sent troops on two fronts. The right wing was ambushed and the left wing lured the enemy. It can be said that one defeat and one victory.
However, he successfully captured the left defense line of the Ling Army and drove a nail into Meng Jin's left side.
That afternoon, Meng Jin.
On the top of the city, the flag of the Spirit Army was flying, and soldiers with halberds were on guard every three steps and one post every five steps.
In the city, the meeting hall.
The Spiritual King is in the main seat directly above, with a gloomy face.
Below, on both sides, stood generals and counselors at all levels, all looking at Ye Gui with worried expressions.
The latter knelt in the middle, lowered his head, held a thorn in his hand, and said, "I am incompetent, and fell into the King of Qin's scheme by mistake. Please punish me."
"You still know that you have been tricked!" The Spirit King was furious, extremely angry, and shouted sternly: "What did I tell you before! Just let you ambush, don't act rashly! Why don't you listen!"
"That's 40,000 soldiers! Forty thousand soldiers!"
"Because of your impulsiveness, they lost their lives in vain!"
The Spirit King became more and more angry as he spoke. He was really angry and his face turned red.
When Ye Gui heard this, his nose felt sore and his eye circles were red. The brave and invincible general shed tears and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, it was the general who killed them. The general is sorry for the soldiers of the three armies... ....”
When did I see Ye Gui look like this?
This shows his regret and self-blame.
But King Ling was furious at this time, and his anger continued when he heard this: "You still know that you killed them! Ye Gui! You attacked without authorization and were defeated! The crime is unforgivable!"
At this point, he also raised his voice and shouted angrily: "Come here!"
The guards outside the hall immediately entered.
King Ling pointed at Ye Gui: "Drag him down and behead him in public!"
ah! ? Hearing this, the generals in the hall were startled, and the two guards were also stunned. Ye Gui was a general, so it was not surprising that they had this reaction.
But under the king's orders, he could only bite the bullet and pull Ye Gui down with one move to the left and the other to the right.
"Wait a minute!" Cheng Ping stood up, first stopped the guards, then faced King Ling, bowed his hands and said: "Your Majesty, calm down, General Ye Gui's pursuit of the enemy is all because he wants to defeat the Qin army. For this reason, Your Majesty must not ignore this."
"In addition, the King of Qin was treacherous and personally committed dangers and was ambushed. No one would let him go. Although General Ye is responsible for this, he is excusable."
"Furthermore, the enemy is in front of us, so we have to kill the generals before the battle, and the morale of the army is shaken."
"General Ye Gui has outstanding achievements and is a top general in the country. If he dies under military orders, he will undoubtedly be hurt by his relatives and his enemies!"
"When King Qin learned about it, he would definitely laugh loudly, and your Majesty, wouldn't he be breaking his own arm?"
What the counselor says is to the point and speaks to the heart of the king.
And how could King Ling really be willing to kill Ye Gui?
When the generals saw this, they all lined up and clasped their fists.
"Yes, Your Majesty, there are many changes in the battle. Defeat should be punished, but please look at General Ye's past military exploits and spare his life..."
"Your Majesty, calm down..."
Everyone was talking and saying good things. King Ling borrowed the donkey down the slope, pointed at the leaf and said:
"Common man Ye Gui! If the generals hadn't persuaded you, I wouldn't have spared you!"
"This head of yours was sent here first! I want you to be punished and perform meritorious service! Otherwise, you will be executed without mercy!"
