Daqin: Prince Peerless, guarding Hangu for ten years!

Chapter 21 Confrontation in the dark night!
In the deep night, everything is dormant.

Suddenly, the roar of horse hooves and the collision of metal tore apart the silence of the forest in vain.

"withdraw!"

Explosive roars echoed, and the horses' hooves galloped across the muddy ground, breaking branches with a crash, and hurried figures rushed out of the trees.

Whoosh.

Zhao Shitou hugged the horse's neck and lunged forward. An arrow hit his helmet, sparks bursting out, and his head suddenly sank.

Zhao Shitou shook his head, ignoring his dizziness. He tightened the horse's neck with one hand, kicked the horse wildly, and ran wildly.

At this moment he just wanted to escape.

Escape from Xinliang City and flee back to Handan City.

He was cautious all the way and did not expect to encounter Qin army scouts before he reached Xinliang City.

The battle is imminent.

but.

What followed was a one-sided massacre.

The bearded sword knights, whom Zhao was so proud of, had no room to fight back against the leopard knights.

They were all killed in an instant and retreated steadily.

The rout turned into a rout in an instant.

So that at this moment Zhao Shitou had to flee.

"Quick, run, run!"

"I have to go back, I have to bring the news back."

"The cavalry of the Qin army is fierce, and our Zhao knights with barbed swords can no longer defeat them."

This is an incredibly important message.

More important than all of their lives at the moment.

"call!!"

The beads of sweat on his face slid down his chin along with the rise and fall of his chest, and bursts of screams suddenly sounded out.

"what……"

"Hold them off..."

"Ah..."

The wailing sound echoed in the forest, especially penetrating.

Zhao Shitou's eyes turned red, knowing that the soldiers behind the palace were being killed, but he could no longer care about it at this moment. He could clearly hear the gradual sound of horse hooves in his ears.

Da da da……

At a certain moment, Zhao Shitou clamped his legs on the horse's belly, gritted his teeth and struggled to jump up, looking back and slashing at the horse.

"kill!"

Cold light flickered.

With a bang, sparks burst out.

Zhao Shitou leaned back for a while, his mouth went numb, and he almost dropped the sword in his hand.

The moment Yan Shisan raised his knife to block it, he hit Zhao Shitou's chest with his backhand without hesitation.

With a bang, Zhao Shitou rolled off his horse without even a groan. The tightness in his chest made his eyes black, and he fainted immediately.

Da da da……

Yan Shisan came on horseback and looked at Zhao Shitou's armor condescendingly. There was a flash of light in his eyes and he whistled in his mouth.

Soon after, the trees shook, and the surrounding leopard riders emerged from the woods like cheetahs and gathered around Yan Shisan.

Yan Shisan pointed at Zhao Shitou on the ground and ordered to the crowd:
"This man is Captain Zhao, take him away. Inform the rest of the scout team to kill anyone seen acting suspiciously along the way."

In the night, the cry of the night owl spread, and a group of leopard-riding scouts scattered and disappeared in the darkness.

……

At dawn, Yan Shisan returned to Xinliang with a group of captured Zhao army prisoners.

In the county government office, Ying Jun was handling military affairs in the city. Around him, a number of mighty tooth soldiers stood with halberds and swords, looking at everyone who came in and out with cold eyes.Sober and solemn.

The tooth soldiers are Yingjun, who happened to be the reward given by the sign-in system last night. They are dedicated to guarding the handsome tent garden. There are 500 people in total.

At this moment, Yan Shisan strode in, came to Yingjun and reported: "My lord, we captured the Zhao army scouts last night, and there was also a Zhao army captain among them."

Ying Jun's eyes turned cold when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice: "Bring it up."

As soon as he finished speaking, the tooth soldiers came forward holding a bound prisoner of the Zhao army.

The leader of the Yamen general grabbed Zhao Shitou with one hand, came to Yingjun's face, threw it on the ground, and then stood on the lower left side of Yingjun with his sword.

Zhao Shi had a headache and groaned. His tied body could not stand up, but he looked at Yingjun expressionlessly:

"Kill me. You can't get any information from me."

While talking, Zhao Jun, including Zhao Shitou, gritted their teeth and looked at Yingjun and others, wishing they could eat their flesh and blood.

The hatred between Qin and Zhao can no longer be described in words.

However, Yingjun seemed not to have heard anything. He looked at Zhao Shitou and said in an indifferent tone: "You answer whatever I ask. Do you understand?"

Zhao Shitou stared angrily and roared: "Don't even think about it!"

Ying Jun raised his finger without changing his expression: "Kill!"

The next moment, a fang soldier drew his sword fiercely and stabbed through the chest of a Zhao sergeant.

There was a pop, and blood instantly flowed along the marks on the ground.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Shitou's eyes instantly turned red, and he roared at Ying Jun: "Qin Gou will not die well!"

Ying Jun stared at Zhao Shitou without changing his expression.

Zhao Shitou felt a chill in his heart, and turned around to see a tooth soldier raising his iron sword to strike down again.

With a puff.

Another Zhao soldier's head rolled down, and blood sprayed on half of the Zhao soldiers next to him.

The head rolled gurglingly to Zhao Shitou's feet, with death fear still on his face. Zhao Shitou's heart felt like needles pricking his heart when he saw it.

Ying Jun looked at this scene expressionlessly, raised his hand and said calmly: "There are still 37 people, and you still have 37 chances."

As soon as he finished speaking, with a squeaking sound, all the tooth soldiers pulled out their iron swords and placed them on the neck of Sergeant Zhao.

All the prisoners of the Zhao army were agitated, and one of the thin soldiers begged for mercy fiercely.

"Don't, don't kill me! I said, I know, I said..."

Her young face was full of fear, and she looked at Yingjun with hope.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the rest of Zhao's soldiers roared angrily.

"Li Er, shut up. You can't believe what the Qin people say."

"Say, they will kill us too."

"Have you forgotten that your eldest brother was killed by the Qin people?"

Li Er's body trembled violently when he heard this, but he gritted his teeth and cried: "I can't die. If I die, no one will take care of my mother. I can't die. I want to go back alive to see my mother..."

All words suddenly stopped.

Seeing this, Zhao Shitou felt shaken in his heart. He looked at Ying Jun and asked, "If I tell you, will you promise not to kill them?"

"You are not qualified to bargain." Ying Jun's eyes were indifferent, he paused and then said: "Don't even think about fooling me. There are tens of thousands of Zhao people to kill in Xinliang City."

As soon as these words came out, all Zhao people's eyes shrank, and Zhao Shitou's scalp went numb. Looking at Yingjun in front of him, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Where is this person?
Simply a human devil.

Facing such a person, Zhao Shitou had an irresistible thought in his heart.

He is not afraid of death.

But he couldn't even watch others die.

Immediately, Zhao Shitou lowered his head dejectedly and said in a low tone: "Ask you..."

Seeing this, Ying Jun asked straight to the point: "How is the situation in Handan?"
