The northern border is vast, covered in ice for thousands of miles, and stretches as far as the eye can see.
When the horn sounded in the dust and snow on the Gobi, horse hooves splashed, and swords flashed, Da Zhou and Da Xia finally started the final decisive battle at this moment.
This battle was dark and dark, with both sides investing a large amount of troops, so that there were corpses wrapped in horse leather everywhere, and rivers of blood flowed. The originally white and crystal clear earth turned hot and bright red because of the blood of the soldiers from both armies.
Soon, with the addition of the Great Zhou Iron Cavalry, the balance of the war began to tilt. In order to avoid facing the Great Zhou Iron Cavalry, under Liang Jun's dispatch, the Great Xia soldiers retreated while fighting, in the direction of Heli Mountain.
The terrain of Heli Mountain is winding and complicated, covering hundreds of miles from the front to the back of the mountain. Although the mountain is not too steep, due to geographical reasons, the higher you go up in the north, the colder the climate becomes. If an ordinary person If you want to climb a mountain in heavy snow, you may never come back.
"General, they have all hid in Heli Mountain. What should we do? Can we chase them?" A man in golden armor sat on a horse.
Because this man's golden armor was so eye-catching, many people looked at him with envy.
The man in golden armor is named Xiao Jue. He is also the general who sent reinforcements from the Great Zhou Dynasty this time, and he is also the master of the cavalry.
The person he had previously called a general was Qin Qiong, who had been released by Liang Jun not long ago. After the two met together, today's situation of full force going out to fight against Daxia happened.
Qin Qiong looked at the Daxia army retreating in the distance, his expression blank and unresponsive.
Xiao Jue saw this, and suddenly his face became a little more violent.
When he led his army to this place, he was so anxious after learning that Qin Qiong was captured by Liang Jun that he even accommodated the incompetence of the border officers. Why was he still unwilling to send troops to force Liang Jun to release him? It wasn't until he understood the ins and outs of the matter that Xiao Jue felt a little regretful.
He naturally admires Qin Qiong in his heart, but he has always been high-minded, especially when it comes to matters between men and women, and is not good at words. But this time Qin Qiong was taken into custody by Liang Jun. According to past understanding, Liang Jun was known to be a playboy, especially towards women. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he had countless women, and he was afraid that he would have evil intentions. He has ulterior motives for Qin Qiong.
Especially when I heard from the border officers that day that I saw Qin Qiong and Liang Jun standing on the top of the mountain, Xiao Zhi was even more unhappy.
Seeing that Qin Qiong was indifferent, Xiao Jue's face gradually became more and more ugly.
"All the officers and men obey the order, form up their troops, and follow me into Heli Mountain. We will surely annihilate the remaining defeated generals of the Xia Dynasty in one fell swoop." Xiao Jue raised his spear high and shouted.
The Zhou soldiers behind him, whether cavalry or infantry, were all shocked and ready to go, as if they were ready.
Qin Qiong came back to his senses and said coldly, "Xiao Jue, don't be arrogant. It's not your turn to give orders here."
Xiao Jue pointed towards Heli Mountain with one hand and said lightly, "Didn't you hear what I said to General before? Look for yourself, they are almost gone. If you don't chase them now, will you let them go?"
Qin Qiong's face turned pale, and when he looked again, he saw that almost all Daxia's retreating soldiers had gone deep into Heli Mountain.
"Although the cavalry you lead is invincible, it can only be used in plain areas or flat areas. Heli Mountain is crisscrossed, how can your cavalry be effective? In my opinion, it is better for you to lead an army to attack their main force. At the camp, I will lead the army to Heli Mountain, and you and I will divide our troops into two groups. This is the most effective way." Qin Qiong analyzed.
Xiao Jue was stunned and looked at Qin Qiong with a bit of surprise. The latter nodded slightly to him and continued, "This time we have a total of 200,000 soldiers, and Daxia is only a mere 100,000." Everybody. Previously, Liang Jun sent a group to come here for a decisive battle. I think their rear must be extremely vacant at this moment. I will lead troops into the mountains to contain Liang Jun, and you will lead the cavalry to attack their hinterland. In this way, a two-pronged approach will get twice the result with half the effort."
Xiao Jue was deeply convinced. The previous thoughts in his mind were instantly forgotten by Qin Qiong's decision. He nodded heavily to Qin Qiong, then waved his spear, pointed at the end of the Black River, and immediately led the crowd to gallop forward with whips and whips. go.
Seeing Xiao Jue's attitude full of ambition and pride, Qin Qiong did not remind anyone else. After all, Liang Jun had already greeted him some time ago, and the main camp was weakly fortified.
It’s nothing more than a process.
"Let's go to Heli Mountain. We must not let them escape." Qin Qiong raised his arms and shouted, leading the charge towards the mountain.
The wind and snow in the sky are getting more and more intense, especially in Heli Mountain. As the terrain slowly rises, in addition to the sudden drop in temperature, the falling snow above is also densely piled up, making people shiver with chills.
The soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty who went deep into the mountains groped along the way, tracing the remaining footprints of the Daxia soldiers step by step. Some of the informants who came out to inquire were accidentally exposed, and were eventually killed by the red-eyed Daxia soldiers. neck.
Qin Qiong's face was confused and he wanted to stop him, but it was too late.
Tens of thousands of troops shuttled through the deep mountains and old forests. After an unknown period of time, the sky turned dark and the wind and snow continued without stopping, becoming even more violent than during the day.
Qin Qiong's heart turned over and over again, and his thoughts were even more blurry. Liang Jun once told her that Heli Mountain would be the main battlefield he set, but the people he brought had been searching for so long, and except for a few groups of skirmishers he met occasionally, they found nothing at all.
If it is true what Liang Jun said, so many people are hiding in Heli Mountain, it is absolutely impossible to find no trace.
Night came quietly, and suddenly a shrill scream sounded in front of the army, and everyone was in an uproar.
"Run!" Someone in front of the crowd shouted, but as soon as he finished speaking, there was also a hysterical scream. .
The crowd surged, and someone saw the formation ahead, stretched out his finger, and exclaimed in surprise, "Is that snow or water rolling down from above?"
Looking through the faint light, something seemed to be rolling on the top of the mountain in a daze. At first, everyone thought it was an avalanche, so they swallowed up part of the crowd. But as the distance got closer, everyone could clearly see that there was a torrent of water rushing down from the top of the mountain.
"It's strange how this water can cover the woods and trees in the mountains. It seems like the water can fly wherever it passes." Someone said in confusion.
Soon, someone around him saw the clues and shouted in panic, "It's weak water water!"
"Weak water?" Before anyone could react, the water surged up and swallowed them up.
At the rear, Qin Qiong saw the danger and could no longer care about anything else. He ordered, "The whole army retreats and leaves Heli Mountain quickly."
However, it was too late at this moment. The speed of the army's evacuation could not be compared with the tendency of the weak water to flow down. Without preparation, most of the soldiers who entered the mountain during the Zhou Dynasty were buried under the cover of the weak water. Some of the soldiers who had already ran out of the mountain were also in a miserable state, crying and howling under the impact of the flood.
Qin Qiong was escorted desperately by a group of soldiers and finally escaped without any danger. She looked pale and was completely lost. She didn't know whether she was frightened by the sudden situation or for some other reason.
"General, general!" Someone was calling in my ears.
Qin Qiong remained motionless. She had escaped all the way, and she could vaguely see countless soldiers waving to her along the way. Under the water, they could see their twisted and struggling expressions, with a look of unwillingness in their pain.
Suddenly feeling a chill on his face, Qin Qiong took a deep breath and looked around blankly. Except for the few soldiers around him, the distance was completely dark.
"General, the other brothers... were all brought underground by the weak water. We were ambushed. The people of Daxia drew river water from the weak water and moved it to Heli Mountain, waiting for us to enter. It's a tiger's mouth." A deputy general next to him gritted his teeth and said firmly.
Qin Qiong's eyes were full of devastation, and suddenly her face was fierce and her heart was filled with tears. She looked at the top of Heli Mountain, where there seemed to be some sparks wandering and fluttering.
"Jun Liang!" The voice pierced the sky, carrying endless resentment and anger.
Qin Qiong knew that Liang Jun had deceived her. Under her orders, the remaining troops quickly regrouped. When she was about to rush to the top of the mountain to fight Liang Jun, suddenly there were waves of warriors from behind. There was a noise, and looking back, it was the cavalry formation led by Xiao Jue arriving.
With just one glance, everyone noticed that something was wrong. Before Xiao Jue set off, he was still a large and well-organized force, but by the time it got dark, it was already scattered, and everyone was covered in glory and looked grim.
.
"That Liang Jun dog thief actually planned to frame us. I led my troops deep into their camp and had an unimpeded journey. I thought I could capture their main camp. Who knew that countless Daxia soldiers would rush out from all directions and attack us? I didn't know the exact number of them at that time, so I could only lead my brothers to fight desperately. During the whole process, there were ambushes set by the thieves. I stumbled and paid a heavy price before I escaped from their siege. Unexpectedly, the boat capsized in the ditch this time. It's really abominable." Xiao Jue's face turned red, as if this battle was a shame for him.
Qin Qiong felt a bolt from the blue, and all his thoughts collapsed.
At the same time, the pictures that flashed through her mind and the sweet words he had said came to mind one by one. His every move, every frown, every smile, all his words and deeds seemed to be preparing for today. .
"You...what's wrong with you?" Xiao Jue, who had reacted, looked at Qin Qiong and his crowd in disarray, and it took him a moment to react.
The people around him saw that Qin Qiong's face was not very good, so they explained to him in a low voice the reason, which was also due to Liang Jun's conspiracy.
Sitting firmly on the horse, Qin Qiong suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, and then his vision went black, and he fell off the horse involuntarily.
"General!"
Xiao Jue quickly helped her stand up, wondering how Qin Qiong could become like this.
Qin Qiong's whole body was in a state of depression. She held Xiao Jue's hand tightly and spoke every word from her mouth.
"At all costs, we must let him die without a burial place."
