Murong Feng walked up to Li Hong and patted him on the shoulder appreciatively. The iron wolf glared at him viciously, and when he opened his mouth, he wanted to scold him for being an idiot, but when he saw Murong Feng standing next to him, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth. Li Hong smiled stupidly at him.

Fifteen horses lay quietly at the bottom of the slope, their muzzles covered. The soldier who had rushed to Bailuyuan to report the news before dusk was intercepted and killed here, and his body lay next to his warhorse.

Murong Feng glanced at everyone, waved his hand and said, "This place is still ten miles away from Bai Luyuan, but the chasing soldiers are only three or four miles away from us at most, let's go quickly." Fifteen horses are just enough, so let's go. What about leopards? ”

Only then did everyone realize that Li Hong was gone, and the iron wolf remembered Duan Zhen, "That kid carried Duan Zhen away." ”

At this critical juncture of life and death, riding a horse and carrying an unconscious, unknown wounded person who did not know whether he was alive or dead, fled together, and the consequences were self-evident. Once there is a fierce battle between the two sides on the way, everyone is still not enough to protect themselves, how can they have the spare strength to protect the wounded? Li Hong's approach now seems indeed unwise.

Murong Feng didn't say anything anymore and beckoned everyone to get on the horse. The iron wolf stood in place, anxiously waiting for Li Hong. After a short time, Li Hong's tall body appeared on the top of the slope, he held Duan Zhen on the stretcher with both hands, and shouted loudly while running hard: "Hurry up, the people of the Tiger tribe are chasing after them, and they all hear the sound of their horses' hooves." ”

Iron Wolf knew that the stubborn kid in front of him would rather die than abandon Duan Zhen to escape alone, he turned to Murong Feng and said, "Dashuai, you go first, I'll die with this kid." Then he shouted to the other soldiers, "Leave the quiver and give me more arrows." ”

Li Hong, who was covered in blood, strode over with a stretcher, cautiously along the way, lest he accidentally fall Duan Zhen off the stretcher. Murong Feng turned his head to look at him, his heart was excited, and tears welled up in his eyes in an instant, "You guys be careful, we'll come back if we find reinforcements." ”

The moment Murong Feng turned the horse's head, tears quietly dripped down.

"Why are they all gone, and they don't leave a few helpers?" Li Hong put down the stretcher, looked at the iron horse that disappeared into the night like a whirlwind, and muttered quietly.

"Help? It's looking for death. Iron Wolf replied angrily. Li Hong knew that the iron wolf was unhappy, now there were three people and two horses, among which Duan Zhen was still seriously injured and could not wake up, and the iron cavalry of the Tiger Tribe was chasing after him, if he wanted to escape to Bailuyuan alive, the chance was indeed very slim, but Li Hong was unwilling to give up, he could not abandon his comrades. This thought was as innate as his current memory, ingrained deep in his heart, and there was no reason and no reason was needed.

Li Hong put his arm around the iron wolf's shoulders and said with a smile: "Old wolf, are you afraid?" ”

"You idiot, I'm afraid? I've fought more battles than you've eaten meat, I've killed more people than you've had your hair, I'm afraid? You idiot. The iron wolf scolded in disgust.

Li Hong laughed, "Okay, the old wolf is arrogant, we will definitely not die this time, we will definitely be able to rush to Bailuyuan." ”

Iron Wolf was infected by Li Hong's laughter, and his emotions slowly calmed down, after all, he had been on the battlefield for a long time, and he still looked at life and death very lightly.

Li Hong and Iron Wolf hurriedly tied Duan Zhen to the horse along with the stretcher, and then the two rode a horse together and rushed into the boundless darkness as fast as they could. Li Hong pulled the reins of another war horse with one hand and the belt of the iron wolf with the other, and his mouth was not idle, teasing him and insulting each other. The long-standing friendship between the two was built on this abuse.

The sound of the horse's hooves of the pursuers behind him became denser and denser, like thunder, from far to near.

After Ke Ju's death, the pursuers of the Tiger tribe were commanded by the centurion urn temple, who was frightened by Li Hong's momentum in the woods, left fifty or sixty corpses, and withdrew from the woods with more than a hundred people in embarrassment, and then he ordered his subordinates to divide into two teams and search along the perimeter of the woods to avoid engaging with the enemy. As long as Murong Feng's traces can be found, as long as he reaches the grassland, Murong Feng will die.

The pursuers soon discovered that Murong Feng had escaped from the woods, and after receiving the report from his subordinates, they immediately gathered more than 100 people and chased after him. Under the hillside of the steppe, they found the bodies of their own people. Touching the still warm corpse, the urn felt that Murong Feng was as real as the grass in his hand. He rode his horse and ran in front, and vaguely saw two horses galloping in front of him, and he became excited, as if he had seen a beautiful woman of gold and silver. The other soldiers also spotted Iron Wolf and Li Hong, and they cheered, and beat the sitted war horses fiercely, and the speed of the pursuit suddenly increased.

The urn saw that the figure of the fugitive in front of him became clearer and clearer, and then he saw the terrifying man with the hair, who turned over and jumped off his horse, and stood straight on the grass, holding a strong bow in his hand.

"Kill ......" The urn temple straightened up suddenly, and roared excitedly, he couldn't wait to step in front of the Han man and slash him to death.

Li Hong is always scolded by the iron wolf, especially when shooting arrows. Iron Wolf thinks that his three-arrow salvo technique is ranked best in the prairie, but Li Hong just can't learn it. Li Hong honestly only shoots one arrow every time, although every shot must hit, but compared with the iron wolf, it is really a world of difference. Li Hong said, you have been shooting for thirty or forty years, and I have only been shooting for four or five months, how can we be compared?

Li Hong stood on the prairie and shot an arrow that he was determined to win.

Urn's eyes widened in disbelief at the long arrow stuck in his chest. The white feathers on the tail of the long arrow were as dazzling as snow, and the black shaft was still shaking in his chest, and then the sharp pain invaded his entire brain like a tide, and suddenly, he lost everything, rolled over and fell under the horse.

Li Hong held the war knife in his hand, opened his eyes angrily, roared loudly, and rushed forward against the enemy horse without hesitation, countless long arrows whistling past his body.

The enemy cavalry was stimulated by Li Hong's bravery and became more and more excited, and they shouted loudly, hoarsely, and the sound of killing resounded through the grassland.

Li Hong's eyes were full of strong horse legs, countless horse legs were rhythmically undulating and bouncing, and the huge roar like thunder was even more deafening, Li Hong felt as if he had fallen into a flood and fell into a huge whirlpool, he was powerless to resist and unable to move, let alone identify the direction.

"Ah......h

The excited, almost distorted faces of his nearest enemy were clearly visible in the dim moonlight. The two sides were in contact instantaneously.

Li Hong suddenly ducked from the enemy's powerful slash, and plunged a knife into the belly of the horse, followed by the second horseman's kung fu in the blink of an eye, which had already flown to Li Hong's head. Li Hong roared wildly, jumped up, and dodged the impact of the war horse. The third iron rider swept like the wind. Li Hong had no choice but to roll on the spot, hoping that he would not be trampled by the galloping war horse. Fortunately, there were no more war horses in the back. Li Hong squatted up half-way, took the arrow to the bow and stretched the string, in one go, without the slightest delay, the "swishing ......" long arrow flew out, and the enemy soldier died in response to the string, and was planted under the horse.

The enemy rider turned the horse's head and turned back to kill again.

Li Hongfei picked up the enemy's war knife and faced the enemy cavalry again. Li Hong is crazy. The pursuers of the Tiger Tribe knew that this bearded Han had robbed Murong Feng in the Tiger Prison and killed the commander Ke Ju in the grove, and it would be a great achievement to kill him today. The enemy is also crazy.

The iron wolf rode in pairs, running and firing his bow left and right. The torches held high by the enemy soldiers are live targets, and the arrows of the iron wolf are not missed, and those who are hit will die. A group of enemy horsemen followed him and chased closely, and the two sides had an arrow on both sides, and I had an arrow, and the killing was inseparable.

The wolf-like pursuers surrounded Li Hong and fought hard, all of them were vicious, swearing to cut Li Hong into pulp. Li Hongran was not afraid of fierce battles, but his combat effectiveness was far inferior to that in the woods in the afternoon, he had too many injuries on his body, and his physical strength was huge, and he was becoming more and more powerless. Li Hong gritted his teeth desperately and persevered, although there was no hope of escape, he was bound to fight to the end.

A low, long horn suddenly sounded from the southeast.

Li Hong became as excited as if he heard the joy of immortals, "Kill, kill...... The handsome man is here, the handsome man is here......"

At this most critical time, Murong Feng's Bai Luyuan rescuers finally arrived.

The Iron Wolf turned his horse's head diagonally and ran in a desperate southeasterly direction. The pursuers were suspicious, and looked around for their centurion, only then did they suddenly discover that the centurion's urn was gone, and the centurion was dead. There were only two enemies, and more than 100 of their own side not only failed to kill them, but let the other party kill dozens of them, even the centurion urn shrine, which was too great a blow to their morale.

A chief took over the command, and after a few of his men consulted with him, he blew the horn for retreat.

(The lords, marshals, marshals and small marshals of the Xianbei people all command the army separately, the big one commands ten thousand horsemen, and the small one commands thousands of horsemen.) The leaders of these armies all have grassroots officers such as Qianchang (Qiancai Commander), Baichang (Baicai Chief), and Shichang (Ten Cavalry Chiefs). ）

There were about four or five hundred reinforcements coming from the southeast, and these iron knights were carrying four or five torches to indicate the direction, and they were speeding in a black and oppressive area.

Li Hong's spirits were greatly lifted, the roar was like thunder, the big knife was flying, and he slashed at many places with all his might. The enemy soldiers did not dare to get too close to him for fear of his bravery, and scattered and retreated. Originally, they wanted to waste Li Hong's physical strength and capture him alive to receive more rewards when he was exhausted, but they didn't expect that the Han people in front of them were not exhausted, but killed them bitterly.

Li Hong saw the enemies around him retreat like a tide, and saw them jump on their horses and turn around and flee, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter. He was too tired to stand, but he didn't want others to see his embarrassment, so he had to barely support his body with a knife and stand in the middle of a pile of corpses.

At this time, from a distance, he really looked proud.

When Iron Wolf and Li Hong returned to Bailuyuan, it was already late at night, and Murong Feng was still waiting outside the camp with a thousand Iron Cavalry soldiers. Hearing the thunderous cheers, the two were very excited.

At this time, Zhen also woke up, and he knew what had happened, and he was moved to tears. Li Hong's behavior of not wanting to abandon his comrades even if he died deeply shocked the Xianbei people and won him the respect of all the soldiers under Murong Feng's tent.

Li Hong was very hungry, and when he saw the tender roast mutton, he immediately started a crazy sweep, he had not touched the meat since he was imprisoned, and he finally satisfied his hunger today. In the past, the iron wolf covered him in Koye's territory, often opened a small stove for him, and his life was not very bitter, but it was the first time that he had let go of his stomach and ate violently. After eating and drinking, Li Hong fell asleep, sleeping soundly and sweetly, until the next morning, he was awakened by the sound of bull horns one after another on Bailu Plain.

Bailu Plains is on the edge of the grassland, backed by a primeval forest. On the left and right sides are rolling hills with dense woods. Murong Feng's troops were stationed in this land of abundant water and grass.

The next day, Ke Ye rushed to Bailuyuan with his iron cavalry, put on an attacking posture, and after he saw that the army that met Murong Feng had more than 1,000 horsemen, he immediately ordered his army to withdraw from Bailuyuan, and it was thirty miles away. Koye sent someone to report to Lord Ko and ask for reinforcements.

Murong Feng did not take the initiative to attack, and retreated in the direction of Dayan Mountain in the southwest with iron cavalry. Along the way, Murong Feng was not in a hurry or slow, as if he was traveling in the mountains and rivers, and he only walked thirty miles a day. His men revered him like a god, and even in this situation, when there were pursuers, and the number of pursuers was increasing every day, they firmly believed that everything was under the control of the commander.

Five days later, Murong Feng rushed to Xiongzu Mountain with his army. In the evening, Murong Feng and Gongsun Hu, Black Leopard, Iron Wolf and others talked and laughed while eating in the big tent. Because Li Hong was Murong Feng's personal guard, he was also in this big tent, standing behind Murong Feng, eating meat with a plate.

At this time, a scout hurriedly came in and reported the military situation: "Great commander, the king's troops have reached the Throat Mountain. Ke's troops were also coming from the northeast. ”

Murong Feng asked expressionlessly, "What about Que Ju?" ”

"Que Ju Dashuai and Murong Dashuai haven't moved yet."

Murong Feng waved his hand to signal the scouts to retreat, and the three of Iron Wolf, Black Leopard, and Gongsun Hu stopped eating and drinking, waiting for Murong Feng to give orders.

"Ambush Koye tomorrow." Murong Feng said in a cold voice.
