Qiao Yin, who has wine today and is drunk today, is in a difficult situation, but feels that it is difficult to control her own destiny, so she can only use wine to relieve her sorrow.

The night was cold, Qiao Yin drank two jars of wine, but still didn't feel drunk, and shouted outside the tent: "Bring the wine!"

He was lying in the tent, but his heart was full of depression. After a while, he heard the sound of footsteps, and he didn't look at it. He stretched out his hand and wanted to take the wine jar, but no one brought the wine jar over, and he frowned , Turning his head to look, he saw a soldier holding a wine jar in his hand, but he sat down next to him.

Qiao Yin got angry for no reason and was about to explode, but he heard the man sigh softly: "Brother Qiao, don't you understand this truth?"

Qiao Yin felt that the voice was very familiar. There was only a single lamp in the room, and it was rather dim. Qiao Yin took a look, saw the man's face, his expression changed suddenly, he sat up suddenly, and said in a voiceless voice: "Yes... ..It's you?"

The person sitting in front of him was unexpectedly his old boss Wei Tianqing.

Wei Tianqing calmed down, with a stern expression, and said indifferently: "The enemy is in front, and as a general, he drinks alcohol to relieve his worries. Brother Qiao, you have violated the taboo of military strategists."

Before Qiao Yin recovered from the shock, he turned around suddenly after a while, took the big knife from the side, and with a "choke", drew the knife out of its sheath, and the big knife was already on Wei Tianqing's neck.

Wei Tianqing didn't blink his eyelids, raised his eyes and smiled, "Why, you want to kill me?"

"Wei Tianqing, you... You are treasonous, and you still have the guts to come here?" Qiao Yin lowered her voice and said sharply, "Are you looking for your own death?"

Wei Tianqing said lightly: "Who can live without dying? It's just that you have followed me for many years. I don't want to see you die in vain. No matter what, I will save you."

Qiao Yin sneered, "It's ridiculous."

Wei Tianqing stared into Qiao Yin's eyes and asked, "Chu Huan's Northwest Army is right around the corner. What are you going to do with these brothers? Take them to a desperate fight against the Northwest Army?"

"It's a matter of being loyal to the king. As a soldier, since there is a big enemy in front of us, it is natural to draw a sword." Qiao Yin also stared at Wei Tianqing, "Wei Tongzhi, this is what you said to us back then. You shouldn't forget it yourself, right?"

Wei Tianqing shook his head and said, "Of course I haven't forgotten."

Qiao Yin nodded and said, "That's good, since you haven't forgotten, then things will be easy."

"Oh?" Wei Tianqing smiled and said, "What are you going to do?"

"Everywhere is looking for you, arresting you and handing you over to Feng Polu." Qiao Yin said lightly.

Wei Tianqing smiled and said: "Sure enough, it's a good idea. Feng Polu regards me as a thorn in his side. If you hand me over to him, it's a great achievement. Feng Polu should reward you with something. Maybe from now on, there will be more I regard you as my confidant."

Qiao Yin clenched his fist in the other hand, the corners of his eyes twitched, he put away the knife suddenly, walked quickly to the tent door, looked out with his head, then turned around and came in, and said in a low voice: "You leave now, I will If you don't see you, the military camp still has Feng Polu's eyeliner, you can't stay here, if they find out, you won't be able to leave even if you want to."

Wei Tianqing sighed: "Brother Qiao, since I'm here, I won't leave like this. You all came out with me, don't say there are thousands of brothers here, even anyone, I will I don't want to see them die in vain."

With a dignified expression, Qiao Yin sat down slowly, stared at Wei Tianqing, was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Wei Tongzhi seems to have taken refuge in Chu Huan." A sneer appeared on his lips: "Could it be that Wei Tongzhi wants to help Chu Huan? Lobbyist?"

Wei Tianqing didn't answer, but said: "Brother Qiao, I'm here alone tonight, and I just want to ask you a few questions about where to go. I won't help you choose, you can choose yourself."

Qiao Yin frowned and said, "Tell me."

"You have already seen the combat effectiveness of the Northwest Army. You and I will not be able to judge who will win this battle until the end, and I will not make a judgment here. But I want to ask you, who are you doing this time? and fight?"

"Who are you fighting for?" Qiao Yin seemed to hear an extremely funny question, and asked back: "Does this still need to be answered? Naturally, it is fighting for Daqin."

Wei Tianqing let out an "oh" and said, "Daqin? The emperor from Hexi?"

The corners of Qiao Yin's eyes twitched slightly, but he didn't answer, noncommittal.

"The Imperial Guards of Xishan were originally used to guard Yunshan Prefecture, but you were transferred out of the city, and now you are sent to the front as the vanguard to die." Wei Tianqing looked grim, "You Qiao Yin and thousands of brothers Dingwu fought bloody battles, but did he ever know the name of any of you? You are the first in this battle. The two armies are at war. You will die and live. Of these thousands of brothers, very few will survive. Needless to say, if Feng Polu really wins this battle, you can live on, how will your future be, have you thought about how you will end up?"

Qiao Yin pondered for a while, and finally said: "Even if we win, the military exploits will not fall on our heads. It may be the best result to save our lives."

"It seems that you are not confused." Wei Tianqing snorted coldly, "Qiao Du and I were both wronged and rebelled. You are my old department. They have not done anything to you for the time being, just because they can still use you. After this battle , do you think they won't settle accounts after the fall?"

Qiao Yin bowed his head and remained silent.

"Whether it's for the wealth and lives of these thousands of brothers, or for your own future, you should know how to go." Wei Tianqing stared at Qiao Yin, "Qin has only half of the country left, and the south is lost, and now it is living in Hexi. , but even so, Hexi can’t last long. The Liaodong Army is attacking Hexi, and the Northwest Army has already marched northward with all its strength. Do you think Qin can return to heaven? A court that needs to rely on foreign barbarians to fight can still keep going?"

Qiao Yin finally said, "What do you want us to do?"

"I can't guarantee that Chu Huan will achieve great things in the end, but at least for now, defecting to Chu Huan is the best choice." Wei Tianqing said seriously: "Besides, Chu Huan is a kind person with clear rewards and punishments. If you lead your brothers to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, The future may not be bright, but I dare to guarantee that it is better than following Qin. This battle, whether it is against Qin or the Northwest Army, is a battle that cannot be lost. In such a crucial battle, Chu Huan will definitely value him if he can make a contribution in battle, Brother Qiao, do you understand what I mean?"

Qiao Yin didn't speak, but picked up the altar of wine that Wei Tianqing had brought over, slapped the mud on it, and drank with his head raised.

.......

.......

For thousands of years, the withered grass is endless.

The flags were flying and the wind was blowing. When the Northwest army arrived at the entrance of Qiufengyuan, it was noon, and the world seemed to feel a chilling atmosphere. The sky and the earth were dark, with thick clouds rolling and no sunlight.

The [-] Xishan Army stretched out like a human wall across the entrance of Qiufengyuan, with spears like forests. Qiao Yin took the lead, holding his saber, looking at the dark Northwest Army formation in the distance.

Beside Qiao Yin was Zhao Si, the deputy general appointed by Feng Polu.

Qiao Yin looked back to a high ground on the rear side, where a large written banner was waving, and Feng Polu was standing on the high ground on horseback. Once the battle started, each team would receive orders from there.

Only a few miles behind the Xishan Army, there are two cavalry from Shuwutai and Yibu, among them there is also a part of Hexi cavalry, no less than 5000 people, which is also the main force in this battle.

The barbarian cavalry had already held the reins of their horses and stood beside their war horses, waiting for an order before mounting their horses and going into battle.

They were already eager to try at this time. Most of the barbarian soldiers showed excitement on their faces. Feng Polu had already appeared and passed down an order. Cut off five heads, more likely to seal the official.

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

The barbarian cavalry were all wearing thick leather belts, which could be used to hang heads when they were fighting.

Feng Polu was condescending, looking at the Northwest Army formation from a distance, with a stern expression, holding the rein of the horse in one hand, and clinging to the whip in the other. He was also high-spirited and majestic. After a while, a sneer appeared on his face, and he said in a deep voice: "Chu Huan is planning to use the cone formation."

"Taper formation?" A general next to him asked, "Master Hou, from the looks of them, they seem to have deployed the main force of the cavalry to the front."

Feng Polu nodded and said: "The power of the cone formation lies in the cone, success is also a cone, and failure is also a cone."

"Also ask Lord Hou to enlighten me!"

Feng Polu said: "Chu Huan used the conical formation, naturally he had expected that I would have cavalry on both sides. In this way, our side formed a formation that resembled crane wings. He wanted to use the conical formation to attack Break my crane wing array. The main combat force assembled by the cone head is to attack our crane body. Once the crane body collapses, the threat of the two wings will be destroyed without a fight."

At this time, all the people around him were condescending and looking into the distance, but they also vaguely saw the cavalry of the Northwest Army gathered at the head of the cone, and the two wings were spread out in a figure of eight, with densely packed infantry.

Feng Polu held the horsewhip in his hand and pointed to the distance, "Once the conical formation cuts off our army formation and pierces through it, it will be able to form an anti-encirclement from behind us, and the infantry behind will follow closely, and cooperate with the cavalry. Form a large encirclement circle, in this case, even if our army's two wings launch an attack, it will be difficult to pose a fatal threat to them."

"It seems that Chu Huan is not an incompetent person." A person beside him said: "He actually knows how to use a cone formation to fight us."

Feng Polu sneered and said: "He is putting all his eggs in one basket. If the cone head cannot break through our army's crane body, it will not be able to form an anti-encirclement, and our two-winged cavalry will attack the two sides of the cone formation from both sides. As long as they can break through their two sides From the side, there is an empty space in the middle of the cone array, and our cavalry can turn their heads from behind to take the cone head of the cone array, and the cone head will face two sides attacking."

"In this way, the key to this battle is to see who can break through the opponent first. If we can break through their flanks before the cone breaks through our crane body, can we take the initiative?" The general next to him immediately understood The key to that.

Feng Polu nodded and said: "It can be said that as long as we break through first, we will be invincible."
