"Ding Ding Ding--"

"Ding Ding Ding--"

At the location where Xue Gong Tian Wen was, there were waves of golden sounds, which meant that Tian Wen had given up on this gambling battle.

He gave in to the Xinwei Army led by Meng Zhong.

『How could it be...』

After hearing the sound of the golden sound, dozens of heroes who survived by chance stopped their futile struggle in a daze. The soldiers of Xinwei, led by their respective soldiers under the order of Le Yi, quickly retreated and rearranged the formation more than a hundred feet away.

Immediately, Xue Gongtian Wen rode a chariot and came to the heroes with a slump in his face.

Along the way, he looked at the corpses everywhere of the heroes. His face was gloomy and his hands were tightly clutching the railings of the chariots.

"Mr. Xue."

More than a hundred surviving heroes gathered around Tian Wen's chariot and asked in a lingering manner.

"Mr. Xue, why did you order the cessation?"

"Mr. Xue, we haven't lost yet..."

"Mr. Xue, please let me kill them again..."

Looking around these heroes, Tian Wen shook his head and said, "Everyone, I lost, lost so much. Shu Tian Wen could no longer ignore it. He watched you sacrifice one by one..." At this point, he looked around and suddenly asked, "Where is Mou Xiao?"

The heroes looked at each other in a low voice, and then somebody whispered: "Mu Xiao wanted to seize a chariot, but was hit by the chariot, and his left leg was crushed by the chariot. Although he wanted to die with a Xinwei soldier,..."

Speaking of this, he shook his head and didn't say anything more.

“…”

A few complex colors flashed across Tian Wen's face.

He breathed a long sigh, then stepped off the chariot, hugged the heroes around him, and said with apologies: "Today's dispute is just the battle between me, Tian Wen and Meng Zhong, which killed more than 400 righteous men. I, Tian Wen... I'm sorry for everyone!"

As he said that, he bowed deeply.

Seeing this, the heroes around were shocked. A hero who was closest to Tian Wen quickly helped Tian Wen up and said passionately: "The scholar died for his confidant! Mr. Xue treated us like a national soldier, so we repay him with national trainers. I believe that even the righteous brothers who sacrificed today will not regret their decision from beginning to end..."

Tian Wen nodded in a state of emotion, and then said in a deep voice: "Please restrain the bodies of these righteous men. After returning to Qi, I, Tian Wen, will definitely bury them well and treat the lonely and lonely family well, even if I send all my family money for this..."

After hearing Tian Wen's words, the heroes were all moved.

Some heroes asked hesitantly: "Mr. Xue, are you going to forget about what happened today?"

Hearing this, Tian Wen turned his head and looked at the Xin Weijun, who had been rearranged in the distance, and a strong hatred flashed in his eyes.

After hesitating for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Tian Wen will remember the hatred today. When he has the opportunity in the future, he will recover the capital and profit! But today... we lost."

“…”

Hearing this, the heroes bowed their heads one after another.

Immediately, the heroes began to restrain their companions' bodies, while Xue Gongtian Wen boarded the chariot again and slowly came to the king and ministers of Zhao, led by Zhao's father and Zhao Wang He.

Seeing Tian Wen coming slowly in a chariot, Wei Chu, Feng Xu and other Tian Wen's guest officials took the lead in greeting him.

Moreover, the two of them whispered to Tian Wen and said, "Mr. Xue, Xinwei Army does not have a crossbow tool that can be fired continuously..."

I think they don’t want Tian Wen to lose the formation and lose people, which makes the king and ministers of Zhao laugh at him.

"I know."

Tian Wen nodded when he heard this.

In fact, just now, he was watching the battle situation in the back formation. When he saw that the Xinwei Army's crossbowmen could shoot continuously, he was also shocked and angry. He subconsciously thought that the Xinwei Army had crossbows that could be fired continuously. However, after carefully observing the Xinwei Army's array, he also roughly guessed the clue: it was not that the Xinwei Army had crossbows that could be fired continuously, but they adopted a new tactic.

A kind of tactic that Tian Wen had never heard of.

This made him realize that Meng Zhong led 500 Xinwei troops to attack tens of thousands of Qi troops at night, which may not be a lucky victory - at least Meng Zhong was indeed of real talent and knowledge.

After a while, Tian Wen walked off the carriage, walked to the front of Zhao Master's Father and Zhao King He, bowed and said, "Zhao Master, Zhao King, I, Tian Wen, lost in this competition."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and then said, "Tian suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, so I beg to go back to the city to rest first."

He was not feeling physically unwell. He was clearly losing face and didn't want to stay any longer.

I believe everyone present can see this kind of thing.

Just now, the young master Zhang took the blame and sarcastically said, "I think Mr. Xue is not feeling unwell, but his face is dull, right?... Mr. Xue, don't you stay and see if the Xinwei Army counts the casualties? As long as the Xinwei Army has more than fifty casualties, you will win this gambling battle!"

As the saying goes, "Don't slap people in the face." Gongzi Zhang's words are purely annoying.

Even Tian Burui, who was beside him, pretended to cough and whispered to remind Gongzi Zhang.

However, Gongzi Zhang still did his own thing. Looking at Tian Wen's ugly face, he felt relieved.

Who told this damn Tian Wen that he was refuted to his face in public the day before yesterday and ruthlessly stepped on his kindness? I deserve it!

When Prince Zhang laughed at Tian Wen, Zhao's father and King Zhao He turned a deaf ear to him. They did not expose Tian Wen's intention. Instead, they expressed their concerns, saying, "Since Mr. Xue is not in good health, please return to the city to rest quickly. In the future, the Central Plains will rely on Mr. Xue."

For Zhao Zhufu, his purpose of suppressing Tian Wen's arrogance had been achieved, and for Zhao Wang He, he also saw the strength of Meng Zhong and his subordinate Xin Wei. There was no need to continue to ridicule Tian Wen. After all, Zhao State had to rely on Tian Wen to serve as a mission to Wei and Han countries, and to enable Zhao, Wei and Han to unite against Qin State again.

"Thank you, Master Zhao, for your compassion, and King Zhao, for your compassion."

Xue Gongtian Wen forced a smile and immediately left with his entourage.

Seeing this, Anping Jun Zhao Cheng and Fengyang Jun Li Dui looked at each other and said goodbye to each other.

At this time, Meng Zhong also rode a chariot driven by Meng Hu and slowly came to the king and minister of Zhao State with Le Yi, and happened to see Tian Wen leaving in a chariot.

Seeing this scene, Meng Hu shouted: "Running quickly! Do you stay and wait for me?"

"Ahu."

Meng Zhong rebuked: "You must not be rude in front of Master Zhao and Lord Zhao."

After saying that, he jumped out of the carriage, walked a few steps to the front of Master Zhao and King He of Zhao, bowed and said, "Men Meng Zhong, come and report."

Although Wei Chu, Feng Xi and other guests of Tian Wen had already left first with Tian Wen at this time, Zhao Zhufu still did not make it convenient for him to praise Meng Zhong, Le Yi and their Xinwei Army in public. After all, this move was like slapping Tian Wen in the face.

Therefore, Master Zhao just praised it pertinently: "Zhao Wuzhang deserves his name!"

Seeing this, Meng Zhong and Le Yi humbly said that they were still far from it.

Because they had no friendship with Meng Zhong and Le Yi, and many people were not consistent with him in their political positions, the ministers of Zhao State were separated, with only Zhao Zhufu, Zhao Wang He, Zhao Xiangfei Yi, Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao, Gongzi Zhang, Tian Buluo, Feng Guanzi, Pang Nuan, Ju Xin and other small groups of people who were still here.

At this time, King Zhao asked curiously: "Meng Qing, the crossbow utensils held by your Xinwei Army cannot be fired continuously according to Fei Xiang, but why can Xinwei Army fire twice in a row in just ten breaths?"

Meng Zhong laughed and said, "It's indeed as Fei Xiang said, it's just an application of tactics..."

"My friend Meng Zhong, did you think of this tactic yourself?" Wu Guanzi also said curiously.

"Uh..." Meng Zhong hesitated for a moment, and then explained: "I saw it in the remnants of a certain martial arts..."

"What is that military tactic called?" Pang Nuan asked with some heartache.

"This..." Meng Zhong said embarrassedly: "It's just a broken chapter, and I can't get the whole chapter. It's probably written by anonymous."

Hearing this, Pang Nuan frowned slightly, but after looking at Meng Zhong for a few glances, he suddenly felt relieved, nodded and asked again, "Is that kind of tactic called me?"

"Second stage shooting." Meng Zhong replied.

『Second stage shot…』

Everyone nodded after hearing this, after all, this title is indeed appropriate.

After joking for a while, the monarchs and ministers also returned to Handan, while Meng Zhong and Le Yi took the soldiers of the Xinwei Army back to the camp first, handing them over to the war use of chariots, crossbows and other wars to Xiang Liao and Le Xu, who were responsible for military supplies. In addition, they also had to help the injured soldiers bandage the wound. If the injuries were serious, they would also hire a doctor in Handan City.

According to their statistics, in this actual battle with the five hundred heroes, only eight or nine people in the Xinwei Army were killed, all of which were soldiers under Hua Hu and Mu Wu, that is, soldiers of the Xinwei Army who abandoned their crossbows and held swords after the heroes approached.

The wounds were basically the same, and they were stabbed to the throat until death.

It can be seen from this that those brave swordsman were indeed superb. Even when facing the soldiers of the Xinwei Army wearing three thick armor, they could still accurately stab their throats and kill them.

You know, this is because the Xinwei Army had launched a general attack at that time. If it were on weekdays, I believe that those heroes would perform better.

I felt uncomfortable when I looked at the eight or nine lifeless soldiers of the Xinwei Army, Meng Zhong, Le Yi and others.

When they attacked Qi camp at night, the five hundred soldiers retreated unscathed, and no one was lost. Therefore, they did not feel the feeling of losing their soldiers until today.

It is really uncomfortable to watch the soldiers who trust themselves turn into corpses.

"Let him be buried with great fun. I will report to the fat prince tomorrow and ask him to treat his soldiers' families well..."

After a long silence, Meng Zhong ordered.

In addition to the deaths of eight or nine people, nearly thirty people in the Xinwei Army were injured, but most of them were slightly injured, namely, the back of the hands and cheeks were cut, or the legs with relatively weak defense capabilities were stabbed by the swords of the heroes, which were basically not fatal.

The worst injury was that a soldier was pierced on the cheek by the sharp sword thrown by the hero. Not only did he have several teeth chiseled off, but he even had a big hole in his cheek, which required a period of rest to recover.

In general, the casualties of the Xinwei Army were indeed within 10%, that is, within fifty people.

But to be honest, there is nothing to be proud of. After all, this time, the Thaksin Guards were fully armed, and even used terrifying weapons such as crossbows and chariots. The enemies they faced were just a group of heroes holding sharp swords and wearing linen clothes. Their equipment was not at the same level.

However, under this circumstance, the Xin Wei Army still suffered more than 30 casualties, which shows that the heroic courage that Tian Wen has raised is indeed brave.

What is even more commendable is that the group of heroes fought until the end, even though they had suffered more than 400 casualties, they still did not disperse, as if they did not hesitate to die with the soldiers of the Xinwei Army.
