Chapter 800: Escape from Death

Nalan watched the Southern Barbarian slip away from under his nose to the north, but he couldn't do anything, and the chagrin in his heart couldn't be described in words. www.biquge.info In desperation, he whipped hard, and his beloved horse "dark clouds covered snow" neighed, and his four hooves flew and accelerated to the forefront of the team.

Li Guo was very bold, in fact, he was forced to run wildly to the north, and the roads to the south and east were blocked by the Khitans, and it is estimated that there are also a large number of Khitans to the west, and the only possibility is to run north.

Li Guo estimated that the Khitans should not settle a large number of pursuers in the north for the time being, and they could only gamble at a critical juncture and could only risk death to survive.

Yang Xiaoyi's face was full of excitement, today he has made an unprecedented miraculous feat, slaughtering nearly 200 Khitans alone, and a soldier with such outstanding military exploits has never been heard of since the establishment of the Li family's army.

Li Guo, Yang Xiaoyi and others rushed out of more than ten miles in one go, and the black line on the horizon behind them had turned into a small river, and the situation was very bad. The Khitans are chasing closer and closer, and there is nowhere to hide here, and the war horse under the crotch is already covered with beads of sweat.

Once the war horse is physically exhausted, what awaits Li Guo and Yang Xiaoyi will be a catastrophe, although Li Guo is very strong, but his heart also begins to panic.

Yang Xiaoyi leaned on the horse, his whole body was bumping up and down with the movements of the war horse, and he inadvertently noticed Li Guo's anxious look, and he also knew that the situation he was facing was not good.

Yang Xiaoyi didn't have much experience living on the grassland, and he didn't know how to deal with this crisis. Li Guo knew that on the unobstructed prairie, the enemy's strength was a hundred times that of them, and it was impossible to play any tricks.

Li Guo and the others urged the horse to run for nearly fifty miles, Li Guo obviously felt that the war horse under his crotch was about to die, and the horse's mouth had begun to spit out white foam, it seemed that this was his last journey to the Tugar prairie.

Can't let the war horse run to death, Li Guo had no choice but to slow down the speed of the horse, he believed that the Khitans who were chasing after him would not be much better.

Sure enough, Nalan saw that the fleeing Nanban slowed down, and he also waved his hand to signal the people around him to just bite tightly, and take care of the horsepower. What's more, there are two groups of spare people nearby, he doesn't care about the time of the southern barbarians in front of him at all, he has a lot of time, once he is completely surrounded, these southern barbarians in front of him will not be able to escape.

There is also an ulterior thought hidden in Nalan's heart, he took so many people to just chase after and kill these southern barbarians, and he was indeed unwilling.

The calculating Nalan decided to play a live drama of a civet cat and a mouse, and after he had to toss all the southern barbarians to a nervous breakdown, he would light the sky lanterns one by one and play a torture game with thousands of knives to relieve the hatred in his heart.

Li Guo knew very well that if these people fell into the hands of the Khitans, they would definitely be manipulated to death, so he secretly made up his mind that at the last moment, if he couldn't fight to the death, he would definitely kill himself with a knife.

While fleeing, Li Guo suddenly remembered a past incident and trembled, when he witnessed Yelu Huge's cruel methods to rectify political opponents.

Jeruhuko once stripped his enemies to the ground, tied them up, covered them with honey, and threw them into a burrow full of ants. The man howled in pain for two days and two nights before he died, and what he brought out was a skeleton of bones, and all the skin and flesh of his body were gnawed clean by ants.

Nalan bit Li Guo and these people to the death, and at the same time notified the nearby Khitan garrison to participate in the siege, dealing with a small group of southern barbarians did not need such a large formation, Nalan's main consideration was to capture Li Guo alive, and then slowly torture dozens of southern barbarians to death.

Sitting on the horse, Nalan suddenly thought of a big river in front of him, the mother river of the Khitan people - the Huli River, which originates in Daqing Mountain, stretches for thousands of miles, almost divides the northern land of the Khitan Empire into two, and it is currently in the flood season, and the river water rises three times a day.

Nalan secretly screamed that it would not be easy to let the Southern Barbarians escape across the Huli River, and then try to catch them. There is only one reason, the vast majority of Khitan people do not know the nature of the water and lack the means to cross the river, and it takes too long to collect boats temporarily, which will definitely delay a lot of time.

After figuring it out, Nalan immediately ordered a full-speed pursuit, and the southern barbarians must not be allowed to escape across the Huli River. The Khitan cavalry behind Nalan swept across the steppe like locusts, chasing Li Guo without hesitation.

Hearing the sound of thunder from afar, Li Guo knew that the Khitan generals must have discovered his attempt, today is three shocks a day, the first two crises relied on Yang Xiaoyi's magic archery to help save the day, slaughtered more than 200 Khitan people, and he has not lost a single person so far.

But good luck can't favor the same group of people forever, Li Guo looked at the old subordinates who followed behind him affectionately, alas, I don't know how many of these long-standing veteran soldiers can go home safely?

Of course, Li Guo knew that the Huli River was about thirty miles ahead, and all the throat scrubbers under his command were proficient in water, but he himself could not talk about any good water, so he could only barely paddle water.

Even if they crossed the Huli River, it was just a matter of surviving, and the small cavalry army went deep into the Tugar steppe alone for hundreds of miles, with no food and grass supply and no rescue from the army, and the doom of the entire army was inevitable.

Li Guo, who had a stoic temperament, knew very well in his heart that with the blood of the Khitans on their hands, it was impossible for them to be forgiven after surrendering. The relationship between them and the pursuers is clear, and there is no other way than to break through the siege and fight a bloody way to escape.

In the entire team, except for Yang Xiaoyi, who didn't understand this situation, the rest of the old soldiers were also like mirrors in their hearts, and everyone was determined to die. Hengzhi is just a death, killing one is enough, and killing two to earn an idea has become the consensus of the big guys.

The Khitans behind him are getting closer and closer, and Li Guo must make a choice in time, and the time has come to divide his troops to block the attack. At the critical moment, he could not look ahead, Li Guo slowed down his horse slightly, and ordered loudly: "Yang Xiaoyi, Liu San...... Xie Jian, after the ten of you break off with me, the rest of the people will go first, after crossing the Huli River, everyone must immediately turn to the west and quietly return to Yuguan City along the southern foot of the old Yan Mountain......" Li Guo paused for a while, and said with a little sadness: "Brothers, you must persist in living, this time I don't know when we will be able to reunite, everyone take care......"

The people in charge of the broken back all had a resolute look, and Yang Xiaoyi, who had fought several tragic battles, also understood the meaning of staying, his face suddenly turned grim, and he couldn't help but tighten the strong bow in his hand.

The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man is afraid that he can only meet under the nine springs today, and he is a strong man!

After Li Guo let the broken warriors rest for a while, he ordered a retreat to the northeast, attracting the attention of the Khitans to his side and relieving the pressure on the retreating north.

Li Guo's group of people had a lot of cut shrubs tied to their horses, and Nalan looked at the smoke and dust in the distance, and thought that the southern barbarians were trying to flee to the northeast.

Nalan sneered and snorted: "There is a way in heaven that you don't take, but there is no way to enter the earth but you have to go, I see how far you stupid southern barbarians can escape?" The horsewhip in his hand pointed to the northeast, and the Khitans swarmed after him.

Li Guo saw that the Khitans did not divide the troops, and he was secretly happy in his heart, the soldiers of the throat camp were the elite troops of the Yuguan army, and he could save one of them, if all the people in that group successfully escaped, he would feel happy even if he was martyred.

Li Guo cheered up and shouted: "Are you afraid? Yang Xiaoyi was the first to reply loudly: "Isn't it death, what's so scary?" The rest of the people were in high spirits and shouted in unison: "I will follow the Lord to the death, and I will be a good man again in eighteen years." "The people who have been determined to die have already regarded death as their home.

Li Guo looked up at the sky from time to time, although the sun had already set early, the enemy army behind would definitely light torches to pursue overnight because of their absolute superiority in numbers.

Li Guo sighed, the running speed of the mount began to slow down, the war horse had not drunk a little water or eaten a mouthful of grass for half a day, and the people were already sleepy and the horses were tired, how long could they run Li Guo really didn't know the bottom in his heart.

With a loud bang, a war horse fell to the ground, and Liu San, who was on the horse, was caught off guard and fell to the ground. The stumbling war horse screamed in pain, and the neighing of one after another tightened the hearts of every soldier in the throat camp, and Yang Xiaoyi's heart was also clouded, could it be that this is where he belongs?

Yang Xiaoyi has not yet been arrogant to the point of self-righteousness, the enemy of about 200 people is the maximum he can solve with a bow and arrow, he shot more than a hundred enemies just now, and his physical strength has been seriously overdrawn. Ants bite and kill elephants, and thousands of heavily armed Khitans, even if they are all wood, are afraid that they will have to be killed for a day or two.

Li Guo got off the horse and checked it carefully, his heart sank suddenly, Liu San's condition was terrible, one thigh was broken, he was lying on the ground moaning in pain, the beads of sweat on his forehead were dripping, and his originally handsome face was distorted to the point of not being human.

According to the current situation, it is impossible for Li Guo to take Liu San away even if he has great ability. But on the other hand, if Liu San fell into the hands of the Khitans, the consequences would be unimaginable, exposing Li Guo's intentions, not to mention, that living crime alone was enough to make Liu San regret why he was born as an adult.

Li Guoheng made a heart, called Yang Xiaoyi, and ordered with tears in his eyes: "Send good brother Liu San on the road." After speaking, he knelt down on one knee and swore at Liu San: "As long as I, Li Guo, can escape this catastrophe alive, your Liu San's parents and brothers will be my parents and brothers." ”

Yang Xiaoyi couldn't understand what Li Guo meant when he said that he was sending Liu San on the road, and stared at Li Guo stupidly, hoping that Brother Li could explain.

Xie Jian, who was in tears on the side, choked up and explained: "Brother Liu San is too seriously injured, we can't let him live to be insulted by the Khitans, good brother, go all the way......" The next moment is the farewell of heaven and man, Xie Jian and Liu San swore to live and die together, at this moment he was already crying silently, crying and fell to the ground.

Yang Xiaoyi's head exploded with a "buzz", thinking of Liu San's various benefits to him in the past, his qi and blood suddenly surged upward, his eyes widened, he looked at Li Guo angrily, and shouted like thunder: "Brother Li, how can you do this, Liu San is our good brother, no, I will never kill him!" ”

Li Guo forcibly endured the colic in his heart and did not cry, and the two lines of heroic tears continued to flow from a pair of tiger eyes, dripping wet the chest armor, and his eyes were full of tears, but his heart was dripping blood.

Since joining the Li family's army, Liu San has saved Li Guo's life three times. One of them was the most dangerous, if it weren't for Liu San's desperate attempt to block the fatal heart-piercing arrow for Li Guo, I am afraid that there would be no Li Guo in this world.

Li Guomeng raised his head and saw the rolling yellow dust covering the sky and the sun in the distance. He shouted decisively: "Yang Xiaoyi, those who disobey the military order will be killed, can you afford it, why don't you execute it quickly?" Yang Xiaoyi's mind suddenly became hot, and he protested: "I will take him away, and I will never delay the big thing." ”

Li Guo trembled and looked at Yang Xiaoyi with a flurry look, this guy is a monster, very unpredictable. Li Guo shouted loudly: "The strong enemy is behind, all of us are unable to protect ourselves, you will definitely die if you take Liu San." ”

Yang Xiaoyi pleaded sincerely: "Brother Li, just let me take Liu San, if you really can't do it, will you do it according to what you said?" Everyone present heard every word Yang Xiaoyi said clearly, Li Guowan didn't expect that this kid usually looks like a stupid boy who doesn't understand the world, and he is so righteous at a critical moment.

Li Guo looked at Yang Xiaoyi's clear and sincere eyes, and his heart immediately softened, and he even looked forward to Yang Xiaoyi continuing to create miracles. Li Guo almost agreed with his opinion, and after thinking about it, no, take the seriously injured Liu San with him, and everyone lost the chance to escape.

Li Guo took out the long knife in the sheath, slowly pushed Yang Xiaoyi away with a hard heart, and walked in front of Liu San. As soon as Yang Xiaoyi's hand touched the handle of the knife, it didn't take time to blink, and the big knife in Li Guo's hand drew an incredible arc in the air, just right across his neck.

Li Guo's tiger eyes were full of murderous intent in his majesty, and he said coldly: "If you dare to disobey the military order, you will be killed!" The sound was bitterly cold, Yang Xiaoyi's whole body was cold, and his hands and feet were suddenly cold and numb.

In the jungle, Yang Xiaoyi had the upper hand in fighting with fierce beasts, but it was all a fight for his life, and he couldn't do anything to his eldest brother at all.

After Yang Xiaoyi was tied, Li Guo's blade slowly slid down, and the blade slowly pierced into Liu San's chest, blood kept gushing out, and he personally sent his good brother who had a great grace to save his life on the road, and his heart was also cut inch by inch by the blade......

Li Guo took everyone back on the road, waiting for them in front of them will be a game of nine deaths and one life, Li Guo looked back at his subordinates, and secretly sighed, how many people can return to Yuguan alive?

Killing one's own people with one's own hands is really something that there is really no way to do, and everyone's hearts are very uncomfortable. Yang Xiaoyi's mood was even lower to the bottom, and the cruel scene just now made him realize the cruelty and bloodiness of war from another angle.

Yang Xiaoyi struggled to pat the horse, not daring to turn back, for fear of touching Liu San's body, he couldn't control his feelings, tears were already in his eyes, and drops of heroic tears fell before the horse.

Li Guo was also very uncomfortable in his heart, he violently whipped the war horse under his crotch, the war horse neighed and galloped wildly, it didn't know what happened to the master today, the master who usually cherished horsepower became so wild today.

Nalan took thousands of elites to chase after him, and he must kill Li Guo and others before he could go back to the errand, and the cavalry lit torches and hurried overnight, and people kept falling behind, but Nalan didn't care about these. What he wants is Li Guo's head, and his military exploits are the goal of the grassland warriors.

Nalan is convinced of the wise saying that a warrior can only reach the top of that glory by stepping on the shoulders of his fellows, and he must seize this golden opportunity.

Li Guo turned his head and saw the distant line of fire behind him gradually expanding, not only secretly complaining, but Nalan's tenacity was completely beyond Li Guo's imagination.

Yang Xiaoyi didn't care about anything, the law of the jungle told him that only the fittest can survive, he subconsciously tightened the quiver around him, he couldn't do close combat, he had to rely on the power of the bow and arrow. The bow and arrow are Yang Xiaoyi's magic weapon, and without this big bow, Yang Xiaoyi felt that it was difficult to deal with the pursuers behind.

Nalan chased after Li Guo without hurrying, and he was not afraid that Li Guo would be able to run to the edge of the sky. Time passed little by little, and the horizon behind him was already blazing, and beads of sweat the size of beans climbed up Li Guo's forehead, and he was already soaked.

After running for thirty miles, Li Guo and his brothers finally fled to the bank of the Huli River. Li Guo dismounted and picked up a handful of clear river water, drank a few sips, and sighed, people can swim across the river, but the war horse has to stay, even if he crosses the river temporarily, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape Nalan's pursuit.

Time waited for no one, and Li Guo ordered that all things except for the necessary weapons, dry food, and water bladders should be thrown away, so as not to delay the crossing of the river.

Everyone hugged a branch and swam across the Huli River, and Li Guo and the others pretended to continue to flee north, and disappeared out of Nalan's sight.

After walking for about ten miles, Li Guo suddenly led everyone to the east, came to the river again, and then drifted down the wide Hukai River, all the way to the east.

Nalan rushed to the river, waved the whip in his hand, and scolded angrily: "Damn Nanban, damn stinky river!" "I completely forgot that it was the water of the Hukai River that nourished the cattle, horses and herdsmen of the Khitan Kingdom.

After drifting for hundreds of miles, Li Guo took everyone ashore, used the night as a cover, attacked a very small tribe, and killed everyone. The crowd mounted hundreds of stolen horses, and the flying horses galloped south.

In the meantime, after escaping the ambush circle of the Khitans several times, Li Guo and everyone successfully escaped back to Yuguan City.

The head brought back by Yang Xiaoyi was taken by Li Guo to ask Chu Xiong for credit, although Li Guo did not know the true identity of Gu Duo, he concluded that this human head was worth a lot.

Yang Lie looked at the already washed human head in front of him, and exclaimed in surprise: "Guduo? Chu Xiong nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, Yang Shuai!" "Yang Lie has been in confrontation with the Khitans for a long time, and he knows almost all the famous Khitan generals.

Chu Xiong shouted happily: "Yang Shuai, the head of the tooth butcher has also been brought back!" ”

Yang Lie rubbed his eyes, took a closer look, and immediately laughed: "Sure enough, it's this kid!" ”
