"Quick! Quick! Move forward quickly!"

Honglie kept asking his soldiers to speed up.

The night was deep, the moonlight sprinkled on the winding path, and a Xianbei army was moving forward silently. A short Xianbei cavalryman led his mount and carefully moved forward on the rugged road. He looked up and looked forward, revealing a trace of fatigue and helplessness in his eyes.

"Boss, we haven't rested for almost a day, and this road is still so difficult! When will it end?" The short Xianbei cavalryman couldn't help complaining to the person in front of him.

In front of him was a tall Xianbei soldier with a full beard. He stopped and looked back at the person behind him, and said sternly: "Okay, Ye Ying, stop complaining. If we delay and fail to support the central tribe in time, we will all be in danger!"

Ye Ying sighed, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and continued to follow the team. He knew the importance of this mission, but the long march made him exhausted. They had been walking for a day and a night without any rest.

The atmosphere in the team was tense and depressing, and everyone was silently bearing the pressure and fatigue. They knew that if they delayed time, the consequences would be disastrous.

In the silent night, only the sound of horse hooves and footsteps echoed between the valleys. They must speed up and reach their destination as soon as possible to complete the task of supporting the central tribes.

The young man named Ye Ying lowered his head, his eyes were blurred, and he squinted his eyes and continued to stagger along the road. His steps seemed a little shaky, and it seemed that he might fall to the ground at any time.

Just then, he passed a dirt slope and suddenly heard a strange whistle. This whistle was extremely sharp and piercing, as if it could penetrate a person's eardrum. Ye Ying froze in place, and his body trembled involuntarily.

Then, a terrifying scene appeared in front of him. The rain of arrows shot at them densely like raindrops, and each arrow flashed with cold light and carried a deadly threat. At the same time, huge boulders rolled down the hillside, making a dull roar, which was so powerful and frightening.

Faced with such a sudden attack, Ye Ying's mind was blank and he was completely at a loss. He widened his eyes and watched the arrows and boulders getting closer and closer, his heart filled with fear and despair.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Accompanied by a Xianbei soldier shouting at the top of his lungs, the entire Xianbei army fell into chaos in an instant.

Many soldiers were in a hurry to deal with it. They were exhausted and didn't even have the strength to put up shields to resist the rolling stones. The originally tight formation also fell apart at this moment and almost collapsed.

Yu Fuluo, standing on the hill, looked at the Xianbei soldiers below with a sneer on his face. In his heart, tonight will be the end of the Xianbei Eastern Tribe and the moment when his Southern Xiongnu will rise. With the destruction of the eastern Xianbei tribe, he believed that his Southern Xiongnu would surely roam the grasslands and regain its former glory.

Honglie, who was a little drowsy, woke up completely after hearing the heart-wrenching shouts of his subordinates. He widened his eyes and showed astonishment on his face: "What is going on!?"

Just then, a Xianbei scout came on horseback to report, his voice full of fear and despair: "Chief! Something bad has happened! Our army was ambushed by the Han army and the Southern Xiongnu after entering the path!"

Honglie's face changed drastically, his eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief: "What? Han army and Southern Xiongnu? How is this possible?"

The scout continued: "They used rolling stones and rolling logs to forcibly cut our army into two sections!"

"What!?" Honglie was so shocked that he almost fell off his horse. He looked ahead in disbelief, and a deep fear surged in his heart.

He quickly sent people to the rear army to check the situation, but before the scouts could go out, the general in charge of the rear army had already rushed in with a bloody face, his eyes full of despair and fear.

"Chief! It's bad! Our rear army was attacked by Zhang Liao of the Han army. Their black armored heavy cavalry directly broke up our rear army formation!"

Honglie's face turned pale as paper in an instant, and he widened his eyes, unable to accept this fact.

"Chief! Our retreat... has been cut off..." The general's words made Honglie's heart confused, and he felt dizzy, as if the whole world was collapsing.

Honglie clenched his fists tightly, and a trace of anger and despair flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that his carefully planned plan would be broken so easily. Liu Yao's strength was beyond his imagination.

"Why did my army choose the small road?, they were all discovered by him, and they set up an ambush in advance! Are Liu Yao's counselors really as smart as demons? "

"Chief! Now is not the time to discuss these things! We have to find a way to break out!"

The general on the side said in a trembling voice.

"What! Our retreat has been cut off! How is this possible! And in the narrow passage, our army's formation has no way to be deployed! How can you let me fight back! ? "Honglie sat on the ground somewhat dejectedly, staring blankly at the Xianbei soldiers who were constantly disintegrating in front of him. His heart was full of despair and helplessness, as if he saw that his fate was doomed.

"Chief! We still have a chance! We still have more than 100,000 troops! The other side is only a few tens of thousands. As long as we gather all our forces and turn back, we may be able to fight Zhang Liao! "The generals saw that Honglie had lost his fighting spirit, and they hurriedly persuaded him anxiously. They hoped to inspire Honglie's fighting spirit and reorganize the army to fight back.

"Yes! Chief! You can't give up! You are the leader of our eastern Xianbei! If you lose confidence, what should we do?" Another general echoed.

However, Honglie shook his head and said in a low voice: "Do you think I don't know? But the current situation is extremely unfavorable to us. Our retreat is cut off and we can't retreat. In this narrow passage, our troops cannot be deployed and can only be defeated by the Han army one by one. If this goes on, we will only fall into a deeper predicament. "

"Chief! Have you forgotten! Your brother Honglang? In order to buy time for our army, he volunteered to stay behind and fought fiercely with the Han army. His sacrifice was to give us a chance to move. Even for him, you should cheer up! "A general said excitedly.

Hearing this, Honglie's eyes suddenly flashed with determination. He thought of his younger brother Honglang, the brave and fearless warrior who was willing to sacrifice himself for the benefit of the tribe. A strong anger and hatred surged in his heart, and he was determined to avenge his brother.

"That's right! Even if it's for my brother! I must avenge him!"

Honglie stood up suddenly, with a firm light in his eyes. He looked around at the exhausted and demoralized Xianbei soldiers and shouted loudly: "The whole army listens to my orders! The whole army attacks! Break through the blockade of the Han army! ! "
