Under the flag of the Chinese army commander, a haggard middle-aged man had his hands tied and was kneeling on the uneven yellow earth.

Xie Lin looked at him quietly, his face as sinking as water and his eyes indifferent.

Two rows of guards stood beside him, each holding a knife handle.

The counselors who were usually good friends with Lin Ruyu were hiding far away at this moment, for fear that they would become a fish in the pond.

Although Lin Ruyu looked very haggard, her eyes were still calm and she did not avoid Xie Lin's gaze. She just looked straight ahead to show her respect.

Seeing this, Xie Lin sneered: "At this point, why do you have to show off in front of me?"

Lin Ruyu looked ashamed, as if recalling the past and said: "When the head of the family kicked me out of the Lin family, Andu's mother couldn't bear the humiliation and chose to commit suicide by swallowing medicine. The world is so vast that there is no place for our father and son. If the general hadn't helped,

An and I have long been reduced to bones by the wayside, our kindness is so profound, how could I act coquettishly in front of the general?"

Xie Lin rolled his sleeves and said, "So you still remember!"

Lin Ruyu thought for a while, nodded and said: "I won't forget it for a moment."

Xie Lin was furious, stood up suddenly and kicked Lin Ruyu on the shoulder.

With his martial arts skills, even if he wanted to kick Lin Ruyu to death, it would not be difficult, but he did not do that. Even though he had used force when he kicked, Lin Ruyu was still kicked a foot away, and there was blood around his mouth when he got up.

, with his thin body, he would probably be a cripple even if he didn't die. But this middle-aged man didn't care about his injuries.

, he struggled to kneel down again, and said frankly: "General, although I am a broken man, I still have Lin's blood. As for the past events, there were many twists and turns, and it is not good to talk nonsense in front of the general.

I have never forgotten my identity, and I also think that one day I can return to the Lin family tree."

Xie Lin was slightly startled, as if he understood a hint of the whole story.

Lin Ruyu continued: "Someone in the Lin family committed a crime, and the emperor wanted to chop off his head and even confiscate his family. I might be angry or sad, but I wouldn't have too many thoughts. Who made me be subordinated by the head of the family back then?

The Lin family was kicked out? But I didn’t expect that the emperor

The emperor destroyed the entire Lin family and executed thousands of men, women, old and children, including people I care about. This was not enough. He also demolished the Lin family's ancestral hall, destroyed the Lin family's ancestral tombs, and killed those who had been dead for hundreds of years.

Can’t I hate it when the bones are dug out of the soil and exposed to the sun?!”

He suddenly raised his head, his eyes were red and his lips were trembling slightly.

Xie Lin finally fell silent, and those angry words could not be uttered.

Lin Ruyu smiled miserably and said: "But what can I do, this lost dog? I had a thought before, but then I didn't even think about it anymore. The general may think that I am pitiful, or he may think that I can make a few mistakes."

Idea, give me a way to survive. But, it is no longer important to me. Life and death have long been futile to me. But Andu is still young, and he should not continue to be a lost dog like me."

Xie Lin said solemnly: "So you are going to use the lives of my soldiers to pave the way for him to achieve success in the Liang Kingdom?"

Lin Ruyu shook her head slightly and said: "Andu is not that capable, but if you want to live in a foreign country, you always need some confidence and merit. I am sorry for the general, so I have been waiting for the general to take this life.

Going is the only responsibility I can bear."

Xie Lin's chest heaved violently and said angrily: "Do you think your life can offset those heroic souls who died in vain?!"

Lin Ruyu shook her head and said: "It can't be offset, but things in this world are like this, there is not so much fairness. General, in addition to the Andu incident, you also asked me about Pei Yue's intentions before. I deliberately used tiger

I came here to mislead you. I have been trying my best to repay your kindness over the years, but I haven’t done enough, but I can’t do it anymore.”

His hands were tied, but he insisted on leaning on the ground and tapping his forehead heavily on the ground.

Xie Lin's heart moved and he asked indifferently: "What exactly does Pei Yue want to do?"

Lin Ruyu slowly straightened up, without hesitation, and said frankly: "I don't know."

Xie Lin looked into his eyes, and for the first time he saw a murderous intention in this middle-aged man's eyes that even frightened him.

Lin Ruyu kowtowed again and said decisively: "General, I only want to die."

The general who had worked so hard to bring back the two cavalrymen rushed in and saw Lin Ruyu begging for death.

"big--"

He was stopped by Schelling just as he opened his mouth, and then heard the general say: "Drag him down and show his head to the public."

Two personal guards came out and clasped their fists, saying, "Follow the order!"

A bleak smile appeared on Lin Ruyu's face.

This smile made Xie Lin very upset, but he also knew that now was not the time to show anger, so he turned to the cavalry general and said, "What's the loss?"

The general bowed his head and said: "Back to the general, the loss of 20,000 cavalry exceeds 4,000. At present, it is only a rough estimate."

Xie Lin did not criticize him harshly, but comforted him: "You have done a good enough job."

"Thank you, General! There are about 15,000 longbow cavalry and Tibetan front guards in total. Our army still has the advantage in strength. As long as we regroup, we will have the confidence to defeat them!" the general said solemnly.

Xie Lin nodded approvingly, but did not agree to his proposal. He said slowly: "From now on, the cavalry will be divided into two groups. You and Xiao Qianshan will each lead one to protect the center and flanks."

The general was slightly startled. He heard some profound meaning in Schelling's words. It seemed that the general did not intend to use cavalry to decide the outcome of this battle.

Xie Lin did not explain, waved his hand and said: "Go."

"Follow the order!"

After he left, Xie Lin boarded the lookout vehicle. After observing for a moment, he said decisively: "Send the order and the entire army will launch a general attack. Sun Qianqiu's troops will immediately join the battlefield."

A high-pitched and melodious horn sound came from the central army, and all the Wu army infantry who heard the sound immediately launched a charge.

At the same time, an infantry team of nearly 10,000 people appeared in the dense forest northeast of Xishan Village, attacking Liang Jun's main formation from the side and rear.

At this point, all the more than 50,000 infantrymen of Western Wu appeared and entered the battlefield.

Under the commanding flag of Liang Jun's main formation, Tang Youzhi's eyes scanned the many people around him, and finally stopped at the young man he met for the first time, and said in a complicated tone: "As you expected, Xie Lin still has a trick up his sleeve."

Pei Yue was originally looking around, sizing up the battlefield after being raided by the elite Western Wu cavalry. Hearing this, his heart froze and he replied without changing his expression: "Master Marquis, you can take action now."

"Yes, if we drag it on any longer, my soldiers will soon be unable to hold on."
