Chapter 122: Goshawk with broken wings (below)

Views:

〖Tan Ji, who was greatly valued by the great general Long Tingfei, pulled out of the grass, personally passed on the tactics of war, and became a general from the common people, which is not easy. He is a human being, unhappy and unhappy, not close to his colleagues. The generals drink every swallow of the generals to boost their morale. It is forbidden to follow them reluctantly, but they do not drink a drop of alcohol. Suffering from it, had to send it away. The imperial guards are very strict, and if there are those who violate the military law, although the warriors will be killed, the troops are refined and organized, and they must not be afraid of sacrifice in every battle. The strength of the military is rare in the world. Although Ji is high in position, he does not change his old simplicity, and he does not like to be left behind. Every reward is given to his subordinates. Therefore, although he is strict and daunting, his subordinates are willing to die.

All the family members of Ji’s parents died in the war, and Ji deeply hated them. Every time they went out to fight, the killings would be heavy, and there were many incidents of killing prisoners and disturbing the people. The generals did not listen to their persuasion. Constrain it. He was jealous of his handsome appearance, but also had a miserable life, and often felt ashamed. He was covered with a bronze ghost face, and he was puzzled all day long. Everyone called him "ghost-faced general."

—"The History of the Northern Han Dynasty: The Biography of Tan Ji"〗

The goshawks fly by in the sky, the blue sky in the wilderness, the grass is long, the water is sobbing, and the desolate eagles make people feel lonely in their hearts. Tan Ji rode his horse and stood on the bank of the Qin River, his eyes were full of cold frost.

Several scouts came over with flying horses and fell to the ground, one of them said loudly: "General Qi, the enemy's major camp is built on the temple slope, and the grain and grass are piled up like mountains. , Houying is only three miles away from Qiufengdu where the two rivers meet. There are four pontoon bridges on Qinshui River and three pontoon bridges on Shili River. There are more than a thousand navy ships in Qiufengdu, which can transport several days of food and grass at a time. The army fought under the banner of Jing Chi, with a total of 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry."

Tan Ji didn't make a sound, just made a gesture. A guard standing beside him, also wearing a bronze mask, one of the thirty-six cavalry, said loudly: "The general orders you to step back."

Several scouts breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and respectfully retreated. Facing Tan Ji, very few people can be calm.

After he retired, Tan Jihan said coldly: "Luo Meng, tell me, why is a dignified general placed in the baggage camp, Jing Chi was already considered one of the best cavalry generals in Dayong, but was left idle in the baggage compartment. Ying, when King Qi was in charge of military power, he did not do this before, and when Emperor Yong's confidant came to supervise the army, how could such a thing happen."

The guard hesitated and said: "General, there is no power dispute, although King Qi has high power, but this Jing Chi is obviously a nail sent by Emperor Yong, if King Qi leaves him idle, wouldn't it be blatant and his brother? Opposite, now that there is a new person to control King Qi, then Jing Chi is not important, so it is natural to take advantage of this time to attack him. In this world, there are a few people who care about whether their subordinates are loyal or traitor, and they are not willing to use it. Thick coins are like broken shoes when not in use. When the general was stabbed and seriously injured, wasn't it because someone took the opportunity to embarrass the general? But I haven't seen the general stand up for you."

This bodyguard was the one who followed Tan Ji the longest among the thirty-six cavalry, and was naturally a confidant, so he dared to speak bluntly. Tan Ji was neither angry nor surprised when he heard this, and said lightly, "I have nothing to say, but the general treats me like a mountain, and you are not allowed to be underestimated. General Shi is just outspoken and doesn't like my methods. That's all, but you didn't mean to go against me, and you are not allowed to say such things in the future."

The guard hurriedly agreed, but asked again, "I don't know how the general is going to attack the enemy camp. Jing Chi is also a formidable enemy like me.

Tan Ji smiled coldly and said, "A reckless person is bound to be dissatisfied, so what is there to be afraid of? I already have a plan. The enemy relies on water transport to transport baggage, which is a good thing, but unfortunately it was also given to me. There is an opportunity. Let’s look at my method. Let the enemy carry food and grass and turn them into ashes. I want to see if they have any way to continue fighting. This is also why they want to fight. Otherwise, why would they set up a major battalion in the army? Miaopo, although it is convenient for transportation, its defense is not as good as that of a city with a high ditch and a deep fortress. Luo Meng, pass my order to summon the lieutenant colonel and prepare for battle."

Luo Meng was overjoyed, but he knew that the general's clever plan was rare, and when he rarely failed, he made a great contribution this time, but Quartz was a lost soldier last time. The general didn't care, but he saw the rejection and indifference of those people, so Romon hurriedly went down to give orders, preparing to follow the general to defeat the enemy again.

The night was dark, and the main camp of the Yong Army was brightly lit. In the central army tent, it was not Jing Chi who was sitting in the position of the commander, but King Qi who had changed to ordinary blue armor. This time, in order to avoid the eyes and ears of the Northern Han spies. , King Qi and his Guards changed the armor of ordinary soldiers, and even hid 20,000 cavalry in the heavy battalion. On the surface, there were only 20,000 infantry, 10,000 cavalry, but in fact it was 20,000 infantry. Thirty thousand cavalry. A tent was set up in the camp, and these heavy cavalrymen hid in the tent and took turns to show their faces, so they concealed the eyes of the Northern Han army.

Jing Chi, who was sitting at the bottom, said excitedly: "His Royal Highness, none of the scouts we sent out came back immediately. It seems that Tan Ji has indeed arrived. Sir, with a clever plan, if he can capture Tan Ji alive this time, not only will Long Tingfei lose his right-hand man, but also It can boost the morale of the army, that Tan Ji has ravaged Zezhou for many years, and if he is slashed with a thousand cuts, it can also dispel the anger of the people.

Li Xian smiled and said: "I don't know if I can capture it alive. I heard that this person is stern and strong, leading the army to fight as cunning as a fox. Many ruthless people are afraid of dying themselves. I hope this Tan Ji will not let me. Disappointed." The two were chatting, when suddenly there was an uproar from the soldiers outside the camp, but after a while, someone entered the tent and reported: "His Royal Highness, General Jing, someone put down a fireboat from the upper reaches of Qinshui, and sent the Qinshui pontoon and the bridges on both sides of the strait. The baggage is on fire. There are more than a thousand Northern Han troops fighting in front of the camp."

Li Xian's spirit was shocked, and he said: "Sure enough, Jing Chi, you can do as planned."

Jing Chi got up and bowed, strode out of the tent, and said loudly, "Get my weapon, I want to see who dares to oppose Lao Tzu."

Li Xian smiled slightly and said to the guard Zhuang Jun beside him: "Get ready, we will wait until General Jing has led the enemy away before leaving the camp." Just waiting to go into battle to kill the enemy, these days are so boring." Then he turned around and sent out the order.

Tan Ji saw Dayong Chong riding out of the camp from a distance, with thousands of horses galloping and majestic, he couldn't help sighing: "It's a pity that such a large general's horses have to keep their luggage." Fu sneered again: "I would like to see if the generals who usually charge into the battle have a way to stick to the camp." After that, he waved his hand and led the guards around him to greet the Dayong Army. Just when the distance between the two armies was less than a hundred paces, the Northern Han army suddenly turned around, avoided the edge of Yong's army, and forced it from the flank. Tan Ji and thirty-six cavalry rushed into the Dayong army formation. The cavalry under his command was the best sprinting force in the Northern Han army. As the long Ge waved, flesh and blood flew, while the cavalry behind them shot in all directions with powerful crossbows, and the Dayong army was shaken. Jing Chi came out with 7,000 iron cavalry, and Tan Ji took his own troops to charge for a while, tore through the heavy cavalry line of defense, and fled to the distance. Jing Chi was embarrassed and annoyed, and took the sergeant to rescue the baggage. Although it only affected some camps on the shore, it was a big loss. After the rectification was completed in the afternoon, the fireboat floated down from the Shili River. This time, Yong Jun had been prepared for it, but he was still disgraced. Jing Chi rode his horse and stood at the camp gate, pointing at the sky and drawing the sun, and scolded Tan Ji for being indecent. At this time, Tan Ji came to fight with more than a thousand soldiers.

Jing Chi was furious, and he was about to leave the camp with his iron cavalry. At this time, a civilian in military uniform came to stop him and remonstrated: "General, the enemy army is only challenging with one part, which is clearly to lure the enemy. Please be careful, general."

Jing Chi scolded: "So what if the enemy has backup support? Our 30,000 people were teased by these thousands of people and spread the word. Wouldn't it mean that people say that we have no one in Dayong, and that I only take cavalry out to chase after them. Kill, can't the 20,000 infantry still be able to defend the main camp?" After speaking, he led the cavalry out of the camp.

This time when the two armies first met, Dayong's army showed great combat power, and the Northern Han army suffered heavy losses for a while. Chase behind. After Tan Ji took his personal guard to break it up, he chased and fled for dozens of miles. Although Tan Ji was few in number, he was the elite of the elite, and the Northern Han army was light cavalry. He kept the Jingchi army firmly in one shot. Jing Chi is also proficient in cavalry warfare, so he simply follows behind without delay. The two sides chased and fled like this, but they were deadlocked.

After chasing for half an hour, Tan Ji had reached the upper bank of Qinshui, where the Northern Han army had set up several pontoon bridges. Tan Ji gave an order and led the troops to withdraw to the west bank of Qinshui. Jing Chi was furious and ordered: "Come after me, they can't let them destroy the pontoon bridge."

More than a thousand people passed the pontoon bridge in just a moment, and there was a hill on the opposite bank, watching the Northern Han army turn to the back of the hill. Jing Chi is even more anxious, but a floating bridge is really not enough for nearly ten thousand Dayong cavalry. Feeling anxious and unable to wait, Jing Chi took his own troops to chase first. Turning around the hills, there are seven thousand Northern Han light cavalry in bright clothes. Tan Ji, who rode his horse to the top of the hill, swung his horns in one fell swoop. In an instant, Jing Chi and more than a thousand personal guards were surrounded by iron cavalry. Tan Ji divided his troops into two places. Half surrounded Jing Chi and half blocked the reinforcements behind. With the advantage of the terrain at the corner of the hill, he blocked the iron cavalry behind him.

Luo Meng said excitedly: "I thought that Jing Chi would send a pioneer to explore the way first, but I didn't expect him to lead the army in person, so I just picked a big deal for nothing."

Tan Ji said coldly: "Be careful, if things go wrong, it will be a demon. It's us who are caught in the trap."

Luo Meng said with a smile: "The general has been worrying too much, it must be that Jing Chi is not angry that he was left idle. The adults put down the fire boat twice, and he lost a lot. If the King of Qi pursues him in the future, he must be blamed, and it is no wonder he I am so annoyed. Besides, Jing Chi is a brave general, but I have never heard that he is good at resourcefulness. The general has already checked it out. Although he used to have great achievements in battle, he has always rushed to the front, although he seems to have a man who is good at defense. The general is talented, but at this time, that person is coming together, I am afraid that they will also stay to guard."

Tan Ji said indifferently: "Don't be careless, and although our army set fire to a few camps, they set up fire protection between the camps. In fact, the loss was not as heavy as it seemed. Jing Chi almost brought out All cavalry, although very in line with his style, but I always feel a little strange.

At this time, Jing Chi was covered in blood, and he took his own troops to break through the interception of the Northern Han army. After the horn rang loudly, those Yong troops who were intercepted behind also retreated to the east bank of Qinshui like a tide. Tan Ji couldn't help frowning and said, "It's no wonder that Jing Chi is so reckless, but it turns out that his combat power is so strong. Well, let's go after Jing Chi. He is alone now, so we must take the opportunity to get rid of him." After that, Tan Ji ordered someone to destroy the pontoon bridge. , to cut off the possibility of Dayong reinforcements from the east coast to pursue afterward, and then chase after Jingchi.

After chasing a hundred miles away, Tan Ji had already grasped the direction of Jing Chi's escape under the guidance of the scouts, but he was planning to return to the major transportation camp in a roundabout way. Tan Ji couldn't help but have the idea of winning. If he could capture and kill Jing Chi, it would be a big credit. And after half a day of chasing, after the report of the scouts, those Dayong reinforcements had already become headless flies, and they could not help Jing Chi at all. Tan Ji was overjoyed and pursued him even more. He was already very familiar with the terrain on the west bank of Qinshui. Under his constant division of troops to block, Jing Chi was gradually besieged in a small area. However, Tan Ji frowned. This place is only ten miles away from the major transportation camp on the east bank of Qinshui. Although the pontoon bridge has been destroyed, it is impossible to transport soldiers across the bridge in less than half a day. However, Tan Ji was still worried that there would be accidents, but the idea of killing Jing Chi became more and more possible. Tan Ji couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This kind of bait is poisonous, and I'm reluctant to give it up." After thinking about it, there are not many generals of Dayong who are stronger than Jing Chi. If Dayong puts the two generals in the back, then he will recognize that he has fallen into a trap. Now that he has made up his mind, Tan Ji ordered to concentrate all his strength to encircle and destroy Jing Chi.

Reaching out his hand to wipe the blood and sweat on his face, Jing Chi looked distressedly at the few hundred soldiers left beside him, thinking that if King Qi wanted to kill with a knife, he would probably succeed. At this time, there was no reinforcements in sight, Jing Chi was a little suspicious of King Qi, but after thinking about it, even if King Qi had intentions, it would not harm the overall situation. Another leader rushed to the northern Han army intercepted in front, shouting loudly, boosting the morale of the pro-military.

Tan Ji stood at a high place and looked at Yong Jun, who was struggling under the siege. He felt happy in his heart. If a man is alive, if he can't kill with pleasure, then what is the joy of living.

At this time, Tan Ji suddenly saw the smoke billowing in the direction of the major battalion, and he couldn't help but move. Enemy. After a while, the smoke and dust got closer and closer. Tan Ji didn't see the goshawk's return, and the smoke and dust condensed and did not disperse. Even knowing that the enemy reinforcements were coming, Tan Ji was shocked. , Jing Chi began to build bridges to cross the river after the battle. It seemed that he was still trapped, and Jing Chi had backup. However, Tan Ji quickly calmed down, thinking, the enemy army will arrive in a flash, Jing Chi has hundreds of warriors with him, his momentum is not diminished, if he still wants to kill Jing Chi, he will definitely be taken by the enemy army, down It is better to form an array of arrows and arrows and fight with your life. If you can defeat the enemy's central army, you can go peacefully and suppress the arrogance of the enemy's army. Even if you cannot kill the enemy's main general, you can also attack the enemy's central army. If the enemy is caught in a hurry, there will be more opportunities to break through. Although it is dangerous, only in this way can there be a chance of survival. When he thought of it, he did it, and Tan Ji immediately ordered the whole army. Although the Northern Han troops did not understand why the commander ordered the retreat when the enemy was in danger, but Tan Ji had always been under strict military orders, and they did not dare to delay. As soon as the formation was set up, the deafening sound of horses' hooves was clearly visible. In the smoke and dust, Dayong iron riders in red armor were like tigers and horses like dragons, surrounded by a golden dragon king flag, with two wings stretched out, there was a faint trend of encircling the Northern Han army. But it was King Qi who ordered his subordinates to change back to their own armor to complete the final blow.

When they got to the front, the iron cavalry did not stop for a while, and rushed towards the northern Han army. Tan Ji shouted: "Life or death, come with me here." After saying that, he should first rush to Dayong Zhongjun. He was a wise man. As soon as he saw Wang Qi, he knew that something unexpected had happened. King Qi was not sitting in the main army, so it was definitely a trap. Although he didn't understand why King Qi would abandon his roots and chase the bottom to deal with him This partial teacher, but Tan Ji knew that if he didn't fight to the death, he wouldn't want to leave this place.

Li Xian looked at Jing Chi, who was covered in blood, and said apologetically, "It's all my fault. If I didn't want to keep Tan Ji's elite soldiers together, I wouldn't let General Jing be encircled."

Jing Chi collapsed on his horse weakly, and after a while he said, "Your Highness, don't forget to give the bottle of imperial wine that the emperor rewarded to the last commander."

Li Xian laughed, Jing Chi couldn't help laughing, and all the estrangements between the two vanished in this smile.

At this time, Jing Chi saw behind King Qi, a young man wearing ordinary green armor and a white shirt with a strange appearance. The man hung a silver bow on his left shoulder. He couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, which general is this?"

Li Xian said with a smile: "This is Duanmu Qiu, the eldest grandson of Jin Gong, the eldest grandson of the king's mansion, with a green eyebrow, a silver bow, and a red makeup Rakshasa. He is Yin Gong Duanmu. He just came to see this king from Beijing a few days ago. This king thought that the eagles in the Northern Han Dynasty were very annoying, so he let him stay, and he was the one who shot the two black eagles. Although Duanmu is not good at military strategy, if he talks about archery, he is not in Changsun Jizhi. Down."

Jing Chi and Duanmu Qiu bowed to each other and thought, it is a pity that such a person does not join the army. At this time, Tan Ji and his thirty-six cavalry broke through many obstacles, and he was about to rush to the Central Army. Jing Chi tightened his heart and said, "Your Highness, order the two wings to come to the rescue."

Li Xian shook his head and said: "Although we have more people, the enemy is brave. If we relax the siege and give him the opportunity to rush out, it will be a waste of all previous achievements. Besides, isn't the king's personal guards comparable to the cavalry of the Northern Han Dynasty? ?" The last two sentences, he said loudly, when he heard King Qi's personal guards, they were all embarrassed in their hearts, and even risked their lives to fight, for a while, even the thirty-six cavalry who were best at sprinting could hardly move an inch. .

Seeing this situation, Tan Ji seemed to return to the situation where he watched his parents and family being slaughtered, but he could only hide behind a rock and watch. The humiliation and the heartache that he wanted to die immediately made him unable to control himself. He shouted loudly: "Misters, we and Dayong have formed countless blood feuds. If we are captured by the enemy, we will not be able to pay for our sins with a thousand cuts. If we fight to death, we will not fall into the hands of the enemy and suffer humiliation. ." After saying that, he didn't dodge the horse lance that was stabbing at the opposite side, he stretched out his hand and tightly clamped the horse lance under his arm, and cut off the head of Sergeant Dayong, and then stretched out his hand to lift the man to his horse. Hanging Chang Ge on the horse, he lifted the corpse up high with both hands, and shouted, "There is no enemy but me, fight to the death to survive." Then with both hands, the corpse was torn into two pieces. Avoid being dyed blood red. The Yong army made a big fuss, but the Northern Han army was full of ferocity in their hearts. They followed behind Tan Ji, broke through the obstacles in front of them, and cut into the central army.

Jing Chi's heart tightened, and he hurriedly clenched the horse lance, but he felt powerless. At this time, King Qi had already laughed aloud and rode his horse to meet him, and the guards on the left and right rushed to follow him, trying to protect King Qi. However, King Qi was fast, but he had already met Tan Ji, the leader of the Northern Han Army's front line.

Tan Ji was in the process of rushing to kill smoothly, but he felt that he was suddenly being held up by Chang Ge. He looked up and saw that the man was wearing a golden armor and a fiery shirt, and he would not be anyone other than King Qi. Thinking that if he kills this person, the enemy army will be in chaos, Tan Ji can't help but shake his spirits, and even makes a killing move, and the ghost riders around him also surround him, and he must give his life to fight the enemy's main general. However, King Qi Li Xian has also practiced martial arts for many years. He has been taught by famous teachers and has been in battle many times. He is not inferior to Tan Ji in terms of martial arts. Moreover, there are many warriors around him. When King Qi kills, they also follow, and the two sides have a bloody battle. , Tan Ji's offensive was temporarily contained, and it would not matter if he fought as usual, but now that the Northern Han army is under siege, the result is different. The formations on the two flanks and the back of the Northern Han army gradually became scattered, but after a while, the Yong Army iron cavalry swarmed up to take over the position of King Qi and completely surrounded the Northern Han army.

Li Xian, who retreated under the banner, took a deep breath of the icy air. He fought to kill the enemy for so many years. Although due to his status as a prince, he did not face many dangerous situations, but it was not that he had not been on the edge of life and death. At the moment when Tan Ji and his ghost cavalry attacked him, Li Xian still really felt what was the matter of life and death. Looking at Jing Chi gratefully, just now Jing Chi did not rush to save people, but quickly ordered to strengthen the offensive, giving Li Xian a chance to retreat. Looking at Tan Ji and others who were trapped and fighting, Li Xian not only did not feel anger, but added a little appreciation. It is not that he has not seen fierce generals over the years, but there are not many generals as brave and resourceful as Tan Ji. See, if the Northern Han army had not taken a wrong step at the beginning, there would have been no chance to trap this man. After a while, the cavalry under Jing Chi finally arrived in time. They joined the battlefield and finally confirmed Dayong's victory. Although the Northern Han army had formed a circular formation to stand firm, but without reinforcements, defeat was a matter of time. The big picture is set.

After fighting for a long time, the sky was getting dark. Li Xian was worried that Tan Ji would break through the siege at night, so he called in infantry and lit torches everywhere to illuminate the battlefield. There were only three thousand soldiers left in the Northern Han army. Obviously, he controlled the rhythm of the attack, and was unwilling to destroy the fighter planes that wiped out the enemy. The remnants of the Northern Han army set up a solid circular formation, and the Dayong army also set up a circular formation outside, completely killing the lives of the Northern Han army. The siege circle was getting smaller and smaller, and Li Xian even ordered Yong Jun to take turns to go into battle. The Northern Han army could not rest and became more and more tired. As long as the circle was broken, the entire army would be destroyed. However, under the command of Tan Ji, this Northern Han army has not lost its fighting power.

Standing in the center, Tan Ji's lips were chapped, and there were only seventeen ghost riders left. Since he led the army, he has never suffered such a fiasco. But there was no disappointment or fear in Cong's eyes, just the usual cold indifference. These Northern Han troops are inherently brave. Although they are on the verge of desperation, they have a deep hatred with Dayong. Although they fight in battle, they die without resentment, but they are different. There are countless Yong civilians, and the sergeants under Tan Ji's command have always been in the hands of Yong Jun, and there is almost only a dead end. But now there is no resentment against Tan Ji in their hearts. Although this person led the massacres that left them dead, these sergeants also understood that only under Tan Ji's command would they be able to live within a few short hours. They have accumulated enough gold and silver in the past year, and although they lost their lives on the battlefield, their families already had enough gold and silver to live on. For the sake of their family, they can only fight to the death. As long as the Northern Han Dynasty can be saved in the end, their family will be safe. Although they have fallen into a desperate situation, they have no idea of grievance and survival.

Li Xian admired it in his heart and said, "It's rare that such an iron army still refuses to give in. Even my Dayong rarely sees such cavalry. Jing Chi, what do you think about this king's surrender?"

Jing Chi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Tan Ji is deeply hated by Dayong's army and people, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate to surrender."

Li Xian thought for a while and said, "I also know some things, you don't have to be taboo, this Tan Ji and Dayong really have a deep feud. Not to mention the death of his parents and family, it is that he killed people in Zhenzhou, Zezhou over the years. Ru Ma is also heavily in debt, but this king really cherishes his talents, if he is willing to surrender, at most I will transfer him to the south."

Speaking of this, Li Xian raised his voice and said loudly: "Tan Ji, you are already in a dead end, if you are willing to surrender, this king promises not to hurt your life, even your subordinates can spare it. Wang Yan is as good as a mountain, are you willing to think about it?"

His voice contained inner strength. Although the battlefield was very chaotic, everyone could hear it clearly. Yong Jun also temporarily slowed down the offensive under the instructions of the generals.

Tan Ji could hear it clearly, the guards beside him heard hoarse laughter coming from behind the bronze mask, and after a while, he said loudly: "As a general of the Northern Han Dynasty, Tan Ji was deeply favored by General Long. , Although he was defeated today, it is only death, the prince does not have to worry, Tan Ji has already sworn that he will never be humiliated again."

Li Xian said loudly: "Even if you don't care about your life, don't you care about the lives of your soldiers?"

Tan Ji smiled again after hearing this, knowing that Li Xian took the opportunity to attack the military heart of the Northern Han army, but he never thought that King Qi was really cautious. Even at this time, he did not forget to attack the enemy's military heart. He slowly looked around and said with a smile: "You are all from the Northern Han Dynasty. If you want to surrender, you might as well say it. This general will not stop you from surviving." Everyone knew that he was not trying to deceive people with unstable minds to kill them. It was something Tan Ji never bothered to do. After a while, everyone said in unison, "I would like to die with the general."

Tan Ji sighed, his eyes fell on the shortest ghost rider, and said: "Ling Duan, you are only seventeen years old this year, your two older brothers were my ghost riders, but unfortunately they both died on the battlefield. Go, half a year ago, if your martial arts were not really outstanding and you were begging for each other, I would not bear to choose you as a ghost rider, and if you wanted to surrender, I wouldn't blame you." The ghost rider hurriedly jumped off his horse and knelt on the ground. , took off the bronze mask, revealing a handsome face that was still childish, and wept: "How can the general say this, our brothers have no parents and no mother since childhood, and have no support. If the generals did not teach martial arts, everyone would still be bullied now. The beggar. I would like to die with the general, please don’t say such things again.”

Tan Ji's heart only warmed when he heard it. Since the death of his parents and relatives, he felt a little warm in his heart, which had been as cold as ice and snow. He said lightly: "Get up, I won't chase you." Seeing the boy wiped his tears , put on the mask and jump on the war horse.

Tan Ji raised his head to face the sky, stretched his palms and sang: "Heaven is not benevolent, there will be chaos, and if the earth is not benevolent, the smoke of the wolf will rise; relatives and parents will melt the dust, and the will will destroy the heart. Death is also difficult; I have no regrets if I kill people in the wild, I bleed and swept away my souls to ashes; when you hold a crossbow, I hold a ge, I drive a horse, and you follow each other; when the water is cold, I bury my body, and when I go to Huangquan, my mind is at peace; life and death Be generous and generous without fear, and my heart is broken when I meet the old man!"

At first, all the troops just matched their voices, but later they also sang loudly. The vigorous and pathetic singing reverberated in the sky and the earth. The murderous aura of the Northern Han army rose, and everyone looked at death as if they were at home.

Seeing this scene, Li Xian didn't need to ask any more, he just sighed and sent the order: "Lord." For warriors worthy of respect, the only way to show their respect is to let them die in honor.

The Dayong cavalry pushed towards the Northern Han army under the shadow of the fire. At this time, the dark clouds in the sky dissipated, and the bright moon and sparse stars mercilessly reflected the cruel battlefield. Watching the final battle of the Northern Han army.
