"Heifu, I never thought that it was you who saved us. Otherwise, we would all be Chu captives and we would never be able to go back in this life!"

When Zhou Hua came over, he punched Heifu excitedly, but forgot that his hand had just been injured. He immediately squatted on the ground in pain, but still had a smile on his face and said: "Speaking of which, you also

You are so brave, you actually went to the Chu people in person to pretend to surrender. Hey, it was really fun just now. Those Chu people who humiliated me were all killed by me, with everyone, stones, and weapons!"

Hei Fu pulled him up and said, "General Zhou Bai has suffered a lot. If you hadn't waited behind to hold back the Chu army's hundreds of people, this battle wouldn't have been so smooth. I wonder how many casualties there were among the people in the pit?"

It's okay not to mention it. When it comes to this, Zhou Hua's expression turned gloomy: "We are bare-handed, our armor has been peeled off, and we are hungry and tired. Although the three hundred people fought back hard, at least a hundred of them died or were seriously injured.

…”

"what a pity."

Heifu also sighed and glanced around. The entire outskirts of the city were covered with corpses, including those from his own side and those from the enemy. Their numbers had not yet been counted. The Chu people who were fleeing in all directions had become small black spots, and the Qin people did not pursue them.

desire, because Dou Ran has been captured and the Chu people are leaderless, so they are not afraid of them regaining their strength and coming back.

What we should do now is to quickly pack up the captured chariots and horses, count the casualties, and quickly protect Li You and continue running away...

At this time, Dongmen Leopard came over, with an impatient look on his face. With just one sentence, Heifu's excitement about winning the battle for the first time under his command and capturing a county magistrate from the state of Chu was offset.

"General Bai, Huaimu is seriously injured. I'm afraid he may die. Please go over and have a look!"

…

The trapped soldiers were the first to join the battlefield, with the important task of attacking the enemy array and disrupting it. Originally, Heifu and Huaimu said that they could retreat when the main force also rushed in, but once a fight started, how could they say

Just retreat? Throughout the battle, there were always people trapped in the enemy team, so they suffered the most casualties.

Many people were found among the dead. A fellow countryman, Qin Zu, who had followed Heifu since he left Anlu County, fell in a pool of blood that was gradually solidifying. His eyes were wide open, his body was injured several times, and he was lying next to him.

Ji Yingzheng led people to separate several Chu people who died with him. The Qin soldiers moved aside, while the Chu people were left to the crow.

Heifu didn't stop. He followed Dongmen Leopard and hurried to a small tree. He saw Sophora japonica leaning against the tree, just like when Heifu saw him for the first time at the head of Waihuang City.

The village chief closed his eyes quietly and looked pale. Only the rising and falling of his chest let him know that he was still alive.

"Huaimu...you..."

Heifu's eyes were about to burst. He saw that a broken spear was deeply pierced into Huaimu's abdomen, and two arrows were pierced into his thigh and chest, leaving only their feathers.

His left hand, which Heifu had bandaged for him personally, was missing from the elbow down!

Huaimu opened his eyes and saw Heifu kneeling on one knee in front of him, and smiled.

"Heifu, I'm afraid you won't be able to stop the bleeding this time..."

"Don't talk, maybe you can still..." Heifu regretted it so much. At this moment, he only wished that he had ordered Sophora japonica to be the commander of the trap.

"We, can we win?"

Huaimu tilted his head and asked weakly.

"Won!"

Heifu excitedly said to him: "A great victory! The Chu general was captured and the Chu people fled in embarrassment. It's all thanks to you and the soldiers who trapped him. You have to hold on and wait until you return to the country.

Rewards for great achievements!"

As Hei Fu said this, he asked someone to pull the Chu people's flag over, just to cover Huai Mu's wound, but his injury was too deep and heavy, and the blood soaked the silk flag, but he couldn't stop it...

"That's all."

Huaimu chuckled and said: "I was still thinking that if I win this battle, in more than a month, I will be able to sit at the village festival, hold my wife in my arms, brag to my two brothers about my bravery on the battlefield, and to the villagers.

Party members show off their scars..."

"But now it seems that I'm afraid it can't be done!"

He coughed violently and spit out blood.

"Heifu, can you do one thing for me..."

"Say!" Heifu held his remaining hand tightly, feeling increasingly cold.

"Go to Jingling County for me to see if my two younger brothers have been redeemed from vassals and become common people. Then, for me, tell my wife who has just been married a few months..."

"What did you say?" Huaimu's voice became smaller and smaller, and Heifu could only put his ear to his mouth.

"Let's just say...Huaimu broke his promise."

"Sophora japonica can't go back."

"This is the first time Huaimu has broken his promise."

"It's also the last time..."

"Let her not wait any longer, find someone in the countryside and get married again!"

Heifu felt that his throat was choked and stiff, and he couldn't say anything, so he could only keep nodding.

After saying that, Huaimu seemed to be relieved. His eyes began to blur, began to turn black, and he began to see the people around him unclearly. He could only subconsciously stretch his right hand to the distant sky, as if he wanted to, before he died,

Touch something again, grab something again, maybe it's my wife's warm hands, maybe it's my brothers' fluffy buns.

Even the hilt of the sword he is most familiar with.

The winter sky in Huaibei is filled with white clouds and the sunshine is soft, but Sophora japonica is feeling cold.

"I really want to go home..." He smiled and sighed with regret.

…

Lieutenant Li You groaned and opened his eyes, finding that the afternoon sunlight came in from outside and stung his eyes.

"Captain?"

There was a shadow standing next to the couch. He was ordered by Hei Fu to stay and take care of Li You's fortune teller. This diviner was a folk herbalist. When Li You had a fever, he found some herbs in the city and prepared them for Li You.

After drinking it, Heifu was acting as a doctor at that time. He never thought that Li You's fever had really gone away!

"How long has it been since I fell asleep?"

Li You looked at his chest wrapped in cloth. The wound still hurt, but it had reduced a lot, especially the burning sensation that had disappeared. He had not slept well this night. Not only was he physically uncomfortable, but he was also always in pain.

I felt like someone was calling me, and something big seemed to have happened outside.

"It's been four hours." Bu Cheng had been looking at the sun outside by the window to calculate the time, and immediately picked up the bamboo tube and put it to his lips.

"This is..." Li You thought it was still the bitter medicine soup that was difficult to swallow.

"It's just water."

So Li You drank. His lips were chapped, and the warm water was as sweet as honey. Then Bu Cheng gave him some gruel to drink. Li You felt that he had regained a little strength and could at least speak and think.

"What happened when I fell asleep? Heifu went to pretend to surrender, what happened?" He finally cleared up his thoughts and asked hurriedly.

Bu Cheng bowed down and said, "I dare to tell you that in the morning, General Xu Yang rebelled and wanted to kidnap the captain to escape. He has been put down. He and thirty of his men have been beheaded by the military judge!"

"What!"

Li You was shocked. Heifu, the fake master of five hundred he had designated when he was unconscious, was not in the city, and internal strife broke out again. This was not a big deal. Did the Chu people take the opportunity to attack?

"That's not true. After Xu Yang and other rebellions were put down, hundreds of generals also came back. They were motivating the soldiers in the city half an hour ago, and left the city to attack the enemy two moments ago..."

Bu Cheng was actually restless, so he paused and said: "But I don't know what the outcome will be, but the deafening shouts of killing just now have stopped..."

"I see."

Li You felt that his mind was confused, and the doubts in his heart were getting deeper and deeper. He was a man of his own opinions and did not believe in one-sided words of fortune tellers. Xu Yang was his old subordinate. Although his ability was limited, he was not capable of doing anything.

Such a crazy thing happened, right? Is there any hidden secret in this matter?

But none of this mattered anymore, because the scheduled battle had already started or even ended. Li You didn't know whether the Qin people could still work together after experiencing an internal strife, and whether the previously envisioned breakout could be realized?

There may be three possibilities. First, the Qin people completely defeated the Chu people, and the plan was a perfect success. Second, the Qin people just barely opened a way, and Hei Fu would break through with the remaining people, leaving Li behind.

Since they were in the city, the three Qin people were defeated, and the Chu people entered the city...

If it is the second or third kind, then Li You will be completely finished. Not only his life, but also his father's career will be greatly affected. The son of Qin Guoting Wei Li Si was defeated and captured... What a shame.

Li You even began to think about how to commit suicide. His father was trusted by the King of Qin, and he would definitely be the prime minister in the future. As his son, he must not implicate him!

"Father, if you really can't go back, you will never survive..."

However, while they were talking, heavy footsteps were heard outside...

"coming."

Bu Cheng stood up excitedly, and Li You also looked at the door, but they didn't know whether they were from Chu or Qin.

Li You was shocked. He wanted to sit up and get the sword, but he felt as weak as a sick raccoon. He didn't even have the strength to commit suicide. He could only lie on the couch in a daze, waiting for the judgment of fate.

The door was pushed open, and a dark figure walked into the room, his armor clattering. He knelt on the ground, cupped his hands towards Li You and said, "My servant, Heifu, pay my respects to Captain Li!"

Heifu's body still smells of blood, and his eyes are red. Perhaps he was blinded by the winter wind and sand...

"Excuse me, how is the battle going?" Seeing that it was Hei Fu, Li You looked happy, turned sideways and asked with Bu Cheng's support.

"Thanks to the captain, the Chu people are defeated, our army is victorious, the siege has been lifted, and you can leave here at any time!"

"Good, great good!"

Li You breathed a long sigh of relief. It seemed that he had made a very correct choice by choosing Hei Fu as the fake master of 500!
