"Rumble"

In a roar that sounded like an earthquake, Han general Li Mu, the guard of Yanmen, led three thousand cavalry and charged into the main formation of the Qin and Wei coalition forces.

Although there were still four to five thousand Shang Shui soldiers left behind on this side of the formation, because these Shang Shui soldiers had previously focused their attention on the frontal battlefield and the right-wing battlefield, they never expected that they would be attacked from behind.

When Yanmen guard Li Mu led the cavalry to attack, these Shangshui soldiers were unable to mount an effective defense.

Tear apart, the Shang Shui Army's hastily constructed defense line was torn apart as easily as tissue paper by the three thousand Yanmen cavalry.

At this moment, the Yanmen Cavalry was only a hundred feet away from where Zhao Hongrun was.

This is almost the distance that an arrow can reach.

"Swish swish"

A shower of arrows shot towards Zhao Hongrun's position.

"Protect Your Highness!"

Following Zongwei Gao Kuo's urgent cry, dozens of King Su's guards immediately surrounded Zhao Hongrun and Qin Shaojun and protected them.

Following the din of clanging, there were seven or eight casualties in King Su's guard, but fortunately, Zhao Hongrun and Qin Shaojun were both safe and sound.

"Don't even think about hurting His Highness!"

With a roar, Zongwei Chu Heng rushed out on horseback with eyes wide open.

At this time, the nearby Shangshui soldiers also came in like a tide, and used their bodies to challenge the Yanmen Cavalry led by Li Mu head-on. With their fierce and fearless fighting spirit, they blocked the Yanmen Cavalry.

offensive.

"It is indeed the "Victorious Army" under Wei Gongzi Run!"

Feeling the determination of the soldiers of Shangshui to go forward one after another and regard death as a return, even Li Mu couldn't help but praise him in his heart.

""You", you have quite good subordinates..."

Since they were not far apart, Li Mu could already see the rumored Wei Gongzi Run.

"But...how long can your subordinates stand in front of my Yanmen Iron Cavalry?"

Li Mu recognized the will of these Wei soldiers, but he did not think that the more than 3,000 Yanmen cavalry under his command would be unable to defeat the more than 4,000 Shangshui Wei soldiers.

Regardless of the strength of the troops, Li Mu's side has fewer people, but everyone knows that cavalry has a considerable advantage over infantry. What's more, the cavalry under Li Mu are also crossbow cavalry who are very good at long-distance shooting.

At this time, Zhao Hongrun also saw the appearance of Li Mu, the famous general who was rumored to be the best at using cavalry in Korea.

Until now, he still couldn't figure out where Li Mu's three thousand cavalry came from.

He turned to look south.

In the distance to the south of the battlefield, there were several continuous slopes with a height of more than ten to twenty feet. Zhao Hongrun thought that if his guess was correct, the three thousand cavalry led by Li Mu would circle behind these slopes.

Came here.

But the problem is that those hillsides are not connected together. There is a huge gap in the middle. If Li Mu really walked around there, why didn't he see it?

Why is it that among the more than 4,000 merchant navy troops here, no one notices them?

Could it be said that Li Mu knows the magic of shrinking the ground into an inch?

Zhao Hongrun shook his head mockingly: How is that possible!

I must have overlooked something.

"etc!"

As if something suddenly occurred to him, Zhao Hongrun squinted his eyes and looked at the empty, flat land between the two soil slopes in the distance.

"If I remember correctly, the approximately 6,000 Yanmen cavalry who attacked our army's right wing came out of that "vacancy"... So that's it! That's it!"

After carefully recalling it, Zhao Hongrun finally thought of the reason, and his thoughts suddenly became clear.

He had to admit that Yanmen guard Li Mu was too cunning and witty. He had already guessed that Zhao Hongrun would be wary of the Yanmen cavalry's sneak attack, so he deliberately ordered six thousand Yanmen cavalry to attack from two slopes.

He fought his way out of the gap between them, but behind the scenes, this man led three thousand Yanmen cavalry and continued to advance, going around to the back of a slope in front.

Since the "gap" was far away from the main formation of the Qin and Wei allied forces, Zhao Hongrun and others were limited by their line of sight and mistakenly thought that a flood of Yanmen cavalry was coming out from between the two slopes. However, they never expected that in the

In the torrent of cavalry, some of them took the opportunity to cross the gap and go around to the back of the slope to the west.

In other words, the more than 6,000 Yanmen cavalry were just bait released by Yanmen guard Li Mu to attract the attention of the Qin and Wei coalition forces to confuse Zhao Hongrun's judgment. The real trump card was the 3,000 Yanmen cavalry led by Li Mu himself.

.

"Wonderful! Wonderful!"

Even Zhao Hongrun had to admit that he didn't see any flaws in Li Mu's trick.

"You have been put together, you are worthy of being one of the "Top Ten Heroes of Kitahara"."

Zhao Hongrun murmured.

Hearing this, Qin Shaojun next to him glanced at Zhao Hongrun, with a look of anger on his face, and hurriedly scolded: "You can still laugh after everything has happened?!"

Completely opposite to the complicated smile on Zhao Hongrun's face, Qin Shaojun was so anxious that a layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.

She could not imagine how Zhao Hongrun would be treated if he fell into the hands of the Koreans.

Out of the panic in her heart, she grabbed Zhao Hongrun's hand and said sternly: "Ji Run, you have to evacuate! ... Li Mu is obviously here for you!"

After hearing this, Zhao Hongrun turned his head and glanced at Qin Shaojun, his expression a little subtle.

Seeing Zhao Hongrun looking at him without speaking, Qin Shaojun, who knew the former's stubborn temper, lowered his voice and said in a pleading tone: "Let my bodyguards protect you and evacuate."

She was referring to the two hundred Iron Eagle Cavalry who had not taken any action yet.

These two hundred iron cavalry are not ordinary iron eagle cavalry, they are all elite cavalry called "sharps".

After hearing this, Zhao Hongrun finally reacted.

He shook his head slightly, raised his hand and pointed to the southwest, where Shang Shui's soldiers were still desperately fighting against Li Mu's three thousand cavalry, and said calmly: "You mean, let me leave these people behind and sacrifice their lives for me, and protect them to the death.

My soldiers?"

Qin Shaojun's face stiffened when he heard this, and he gritted his teeth and said: "This is definitely not abandonment, but "acceptance" of the intentions of these soldiers... They are trying their best to protect you. As long as you are alive, this is the best comfort to them!

"

"Just say some nice words." After glancing at Qin Shaojun, Zhao Hongrun turned to look at the front battlefield and said calmly: "If I retreat like this, the advantage gained by the soldiers in front will not only be lost in an instant, but may also be lost.

Being counterattacked by the Korean army for a while... victory or defeat is often just a thin line." At this point, he shook his head and said in a deep voice: "I will not give Li Mu a chance to reverse the situation and defeat our army!"

"you!"

Qin Shaojun's face flushed angrily, he bit his teeth and said firmly: "Since you are worried, I will stay and take charge of the battle for you!"

"..." Zhao Hongrun looked at Qin Shaojun with a complicated expression and said nothing.

After a long moment, he shook his head and said, "No! You can't."

"Why?" Qin Shaojun asked with a frown.

"There's no reason, it just won't work." Zhao Hongrun replied decisively.

"..."

Seeing Zhao Hongrun's refusal without any reason, Qin Shaojun's eyes almost burst into flames with anger. He gritted his teeth and shouted angrily: "Peng Chong! Wei Jiao!"

Peng Zhong was Qin Shaojun's chief of guard, and Wei Jiao was Zhao Hongrun's chief of guard. After hearing Qin Shaojun's roll call, they immediately understood what the latter meant.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry..."

Zongwei Chief Wei Jiao glanced at Zhao Hongrun, then looked at each other and Peng Zhong, and nodded in unison.

Both of them agreed with Qin Shaojun’s opinion: Your Highness (uncle-in-law) must not fall into the hands of the Koreans!

Just when they were about to take action, they suddenly saw Zhao Hongrun turning his head and glancing at them. The seemingly calm look in his eyes shocked Wei Jiao and Peng Zhong, and they did not dare to offend.

Seeing this, Qin Shaojun felt anxious, and was about to speak to urge Wei Jiao again, when Peng Zhong suddenly seemed to feel something, her pretty face turned red, and she subconsciously glanced down at her hands.

It turned out that a moment ago she had held Zhao Hongrun's hand in desperation, and just now, the latter gently held it back. A strange touch made Qin Shaojun's heart beat fast.

"Please don't take what I said to you that night to heart." Looking directly at Qin Shaojun, Zhao Hongrun said sincerely.

""That night"..."

Qin Shaojun was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned slightly red.

The "that night" Zhao Hongrun mentioned was the wedding of the two people held in Xianyang Palace.

Although it was reported to the outside world that it was Qin Shaojun's marriage to Wei Princess Yulong, in fact, it was Qin Shaojun's marriage to Zhao Hongrun, who had changed into his daughter's disguise.

This is what King Qin meant.

Since Qin Shaojun's younger brother was still young and in poor health, although King Qin was very satisfied with Zhao Hongrun as his son-in-law, he made a request, or rather a request.

That is to say, let Princess Yulong marry Qin Shaojun in name, so as to achieve this Qin-Wei marriage.

After all, Qin Shaojun cannot relinquish his identity as "Shaojun" for the time being. If she relinquishes her identity as Shaojun and lets her young brother take over, if anything happens to her brother who is always in poor health, Qin will

Falling into the embarrassment of having no successor.

The king has no heirs, which is a major event that can easily cause panic among the people of the country and make some ambitious people covet him.
