Chapter 570 Rout
Although Qin Jun was trapped, his fighting spirit was always high.

There are more than 3 troops, but not more than [-] Wei troops.

Since Yang Zheng raised his troops, most of them have won more with less.

Although the terrain is unfavorable now, it does not necessarily mean losing.

Some soldiers even felt that Wei's army was too small to rank five.

Great morale is a good thing, but too much is arrogance.

The Wei army occupied a favorable location, blocked several exits, surrounded but did not attack, leaving only the northwest exit for the Qin army to break through.

Surrounded by three Jueyi, it has existed since ancient times.

To prevent the Qin army from fighting to the death without retreating.

After a day, two days, three days, things are not so good.

Tang Bin and Liu Hong cut off the waterway, and the Qin army had no water.

Even if a well is dug, it cannot meet the expenses of more than 2 people and war horses.

What is more dangerous is that the grain road is cut off.

The food in the army is even more unsustainable.

"You are already surrounded by heavy siege. There is no food and water inside, and no reinforcements outside. If you don't surrender now, when will you wait?" Outside the camp, the Wei army clamored day and night.

Qin Jun was not afraid of fierce battles and bloody battles, but he couldn't stand such a soft knife.

Only a few government soldiers left kept fleeing.

Morale also fell.

Being blocked by the Wei army every day, you can't fight, you don't want to leave, and your morale is naturally depleted.

There are not many choices left for Zhou Yu, either to break through the siege, or continue to move forward, go deep into the siege, and keep smashing his head...

Of course, there is the last way, slaughter the few remaining war horses, and use the blood of the horses to continue for a few days, waiting for a turning point.

However, going deep into the enemy's territory without communicating with the Qin army in Guanzhong, how can there be a turning point?

Unless it's raining.

Zhou Yu glanced at the cloudless sky where the scorching sun was hanging high, and felt panicked. Ever since the Qin army gained a foothold in Xiping, has Qin's army ever suffered such a big defeat?

Daqin had just established the country, so he came here, how could he see the king of Qin?
"It's urgent! The governor should go first as the leader, and the subordinates will leave!" Du He took responsibility at a critical moment.

Going forward is certain death, and none of the [-] troops can go back.

Zhou Yu hesitated for a moment.

But Du He said resolutely: "The governor is an important general of the Great Qin Dynasty, if the arm of the king is broken here, the national prestige will not survive!"

Among the six hundred people who followed Yang Zheng in Fanghan, Gong Yu, Luo Hu, E Shan, Pu Jin, and Du He were the five heroes. After so many years, Luo Hu and E Shan died in battle, and Pu Jin was disabled. , staying in Guzang Enyang, leaving only Gong Yu and Du He.

Most of the more than 600 people who did not die in battle became middle and lower-level officers, and those who retired relied on their military achievements accumulated over the years. They had land and money, became landlords, and lived a good life.

The Jian people, also known as Banmanman, have been famous for their skill in warfare for more than 400 years. They followed the Han dynasty and helped Han Gaozu restore the Three Qin Dynasty.

The great generals of Shu, Wang Ping and Ju Fu, were also from Jian.

Zhou Yu glanced at the generals around him. A few days ago, he was going to Hanoi with high morale to dig the Sima family's ancestral grave, but now they all look like frost-beaten eggplants.

Without food, it would be no problem to survive for ten and a half months by killing horses and boiling leather armor.

But without water, people will die in two or three days.

With this in mind, Zhou Yu stopped hesitating, "Okay, if you can return safely, I will report your contribution to the King!"

Du He smiled miserably, "My three sons are all in Qingying, one has become Xuan Yilang, and the other has become the general's personal guard, that's enough!",

Unknowingly, the children who were once teenagers have also become teenagers.

An hour later, the desolate horn sounded, and the fire ignited from the Qin army's camp.

The Qin army retreated in formation.

The Wei army still did not fight, stood on the ground, and shot them with crossbow arrows. Boulders and logs rolled down from southeast to northwest.

The Qin army's array could not be maintained, and the casualties gradually increased.

Liu Hong led a thousand-man light cavalry to harass them on both wings.

The retreat speed of the army slowed down, and the Wei army pressed on three sides. When they reached Fushan Pass, the two thousand soldiers in Duhe were cut off.

The scorching sun hangs high, and the wind is fierce.

Every soldier's face was red with blood, and after drinking the horse's blood, they also became extremely excited.

The spears and ring-headed knives gleamed coldly, and the iron armor was as dense as a mountain.

Frightened by their momentum, several Wei armies did not dare to go one step further.

Until Tang Bin and Liu Hong's main force came and saw the murderous Qin army on the mountain pass from a distance, Liu Hong's horse neighed in horror, and almost threw him off the horse. Liu Hong comforted the horse and frowned. It is the psychological advantage brought by Feng Sa's battle.

Two thousand thieves dared to resist tens of thousands of Wei troops with confidence.

And since Wei Jun really didn't dare to attack.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" Qin Jun on the mountain pass roared in unison.

The surrounding Wei soldiers all looked timid.

"How rampant are the western thieves!" Liu Hong waved the command flag, and an elite soldier behind him moved forward with a spear.

"The one who retreats will be cut!" Tang Bin drew his sword in his hand.

Only then did Wei Jun muster up his fighting spirit and followed the soldiers.

The blood soon stained the yellow-brown land red.

The Wei army attacked layer by layer, and fell down layer by layer, like ripe wheat in the field.

The corpses nearly filled the mountain pass.

The miracle did not come, and Wei Jun seemed to never finish cutting.

There were fewer and fewer soldiers around Du He, standing on top of numerous corpses, his lips were cracked with thirst from the fierce fighting, his arms were trembling slightly, and he could hardly hold the spear.

At this moment, a cavalry general rushed forward stepping on the corpse, stabbing out the long lance in his hand, the cold light was like lightning, just as Du He raised his head, the long lance had already pierced his breastplate, and the huge force instantly shattered him From the sternum to the internal organs, a ball of black blood spewed out from the mouth, "Big... king!"

Chang Leng shook, and Du He's body fell limply...

Du He's death bought Zhou Yu an hour and a half.

At this moment, Zhou Yu was full of frustration.

He couldn't figure out why when Du Yu's [-] troops were able to play with [-] Wei troops, Zhang Te's thousands of troops were able to enter the enemy's formation, beheading Xia Mi as his head, but when he set off with [-] to [-] troops, he couldn't take down a single Shangdang!
It is clear that the Wei army has lost its courage, Chen Tai is dead, and his morale is like a rainbow.

With this retreat, he lost face in the Qin army, and it is very likely that he will never have the opportunity to lead the army again in the future.

In fact, many years ago, he was also a cautious person.

But after being in a high position, the people around him will continue to praise him with every word you say and me.

Zhou Yu let out a long sigh.

As for Du He, it flashed through his mind. Over the years, too many people died in battle, so there was nothing worth worrying about.

The tens of thousands of people behind him were also downcast like him.

After walking for a few miles, Qinshui appeared in front of him like a white jade belt.

"Water! Water!"

The soldiers roared hysterically.

Then, the army rushed towards Qinshui uncontrollably, scrambling to be the first.

In the distant wilderness, a few wild wolves stood on the top of the mountain, looking down at the crowd grabbing water.

When wild animals drink water, it is often when danger is approaching.

After watching for a while, the wild wolves fled in panic.

Zhou Yu scooped up a pocket of water and made several ripples, circle by circle, feeling faintly in a bad mood.

Just then the ground shook.

The sound of horseshoes from far to near, and the unique whistling sound of the Huns.

There was a lot of smoke and dust, and the long knife gleamed under the scorching sun.

Zhou Yu's pupils shrank suddenly, "Huns!"
