"It's all spring, and it's still so cold!" Zhao Ziliang tightened the fox fur on his neck and said, then turned his head to Chu Ge behind him and said, "The herald orders to speed up the march, and camp at the post station for the night after passing the Jialu Road!" ”

"No!" Chu Ge agreed, and immediately sent people to give orders along both sides of the team.

The soldiers who heard the order immediately urged the captives to speed up their walking, and for those who were slow, the soldiers were not polite at all, either the leather whip was immediately drawn, or the spears and spears were struck, or the fists and kicks were added, and the captives cried and cried for their mothers, and so that after a long period of chaos, the whole team accelerated the speed of the march.

After walking for more than an hour, I finally walked to the front of Jialu Road. Without Zhao Ziliang's orders, Chu Ge had already sent a few guards to climb the cliff from both sides to investigate the situation.

Soon, Hu Cong, who climbed the mountain cliff to investigate, waved flags on the top of the cliffs on both sides, indicating that there was no ambush and everything was safe.

When Zhao Ziliang saw it, he waved his hand to signal the army to escort the captives through Jialu Road, and the whole team slowly moved again.

Panzhu Junxiu smiled: "I'll just say, you were ambushed last time, how can there be an ambush?" I think you're scared! ”

Zhao Ziliang shook his head, didn't argue with her, and said: "In short, it's better to be careful!" ”

If it was just the passage of the army, Zhao Ziliang was not too worried, but this time there was not only a large army, but also more than a thousand prisoners, and the number of prisoners was still twice as many as the escort army, once something went wrong, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Zhao Ziliang and Panzhu Junxiu rode horses and walked at the front of the team, and when the entire Jialu Road was halfway through, Zhao Ziliang always felt a sense of shock, but he didn't know why.

At this time, Zhao Ziliang, who looked up at the cliffs on both sides, suddenly found that the figure on the cliff on the right side flashed, at first he thought it was a reconnoiter on the top of the mountain, but he didn't expect that the figure flashed and shot an arrow, the arrow shot fast and ruthlessly, Zhao Ziliang just reacted, and the arrow hit the Panzhu Junxiu next to him.

Panzhu Junxiu let out a muffled snort and fell to the ground, Zhao Ziliang watched his fiancée fall to the ground with an arrow, his eyes immediately became blood-red, and his face became extremely hideous, he didn't want to quickly draw out his bow and arrow, and shot with his bow.

There was a scream from the top of the cliff, and then a man fell from the cliff and fell to the ground in front of the whole team, and with a "bang", the body fell into a puddle of mud.

Chu Ge behind him reacted and shouted: "There is an ambush!" ”

After all, Chu Ge is inexperienced and not calm enough in the face of trouble, and at this time, he must not shout that there are assassins or ambushes to shake the morale of the army.

Sure enough, after Chu Ge shouted "There is an ambush", the whole team began to be chaotic, in addition to Zhao Ziliang's more than 100 servants, the other 500 people were all soldiers brought by Panzhu Junxiu from Shule Town, and the military quality was not very good.

Zhao Ziliang had just shot the person who was hurting the person with the dark arrow, and before he had time to see who it was, the whole team was in chaos, you must know that there were twice as many prisoners as the army here, he was in a hurry, and at this time, he didn't care whether Shangpan Zhu Junxiu was alive or dead, and immediately raised his horse lance and shouted: "Everyone is not allowed to mess up, there is no ambush!" It's just a few clowns, the soldiers don't need to panic, they will return to their places to guard the prisoners, and those who violate the order will be beheaded! Chu Ge, lead the general to supervise the team, whoever dares to run around will be killed! ”

"No!" Chu Ge also regretted his recklessness just now, but at this time, it was already like this, and no matter how much he regretted it, it would be useless, so he could only try his best to remedy it.

After killing dozens of soldiers scurrying around in a row, the army finally restored order, but at this time, the captives also knew that there were ambushes on the cliff, and there were even rumors among the captives: "Zhao Ziliang was shot to death, Zhao Ziliang was shot to death, brothers, kill with me, kill with me!" ”

"Kill, kill!" Seeing that there was hope of escape, the captives responded one after another, trying to break free from the rope and snatch the weapons of the Tang soldiers next to them.

Zhao Ziliang's face changed dramatically, and he said secretly: "It's not good!" ”

He immediately ordered: "Order, let the rear withdraw from the Jialu Road to block the valley mouth, and the front part will all gather around the general!" ”

"No!"

In the chaos, the soldiers couldn't hear the sound of the order, Chu Ge could only let the servants stand at a slightly higher place to play the flag, and sent the flag several times in a row, and the servants who were scouting on the top of the cliff saw the flag below, so they immediately waved the flag on the cliff wall downward, and the captains and captains of each battalion and team immediately led the soldiers to move closer to both sides after seeing the flag.

Fortunately, the captives had their hands tied behind their backs, and they could not move, and if the captives had not been restrained, the army would have been scattered by the captives long ago.

"Kill, kill Tang Jun, and we will be able to live!"

"Kill, this is a godsend, if we miss this opportunity, we will become the slaves of the Tang people forever, brothers, kill with me!" Among the captives, the commanders and centurions of the original Turgish army shouted loudly to the other Turgish captives, and many people began to respond, following these people to resist the Tang army, and some even broke free from the ropes and began to snatch the weapons of the Tang soldiers.

The scene was chaotic, the road of Jialu Road was long and narrow, there were cliffs on both sides, there was no extra space at all, prisoners and prisoners, prisoners and Tang troops were crowded together, and it was a little difficult to move.

At this time, the servants who were scouting on the cliffs on both sides finally found that there were still a few people hiding on the top of the cliff, so they immediately rushed up with weapons.

"Centurion Master, Lord Dumodu has been shot to death by Zhao Ziliang, even if he doesn't shoot to death, if he falls down this cliff, how can he die? I'd better run away quickly, and when the Tang army catches up, we will die!" On the cliff, the strong men on the mountain saw that they and the others had been discovered by the Tang army, and rushed over, and immediately said anxiously to another strong man.

Several other strong men were also afraid of being killed by the Tang army, and they all persuaded one after another: "Yes, yes, Master Centurion, it's important for us to run for our lives, if we don't escape, it's too late!" ”

Under the persuasion of several people, the centurion, who had no idea about it, turned his head and looked at the piles of stones on the top beside him, and these stones were blocked by wooden boards, and the wooden boards were supported by some wooden sticks, as long as these wooden sticks were removed, the wooden planks would fall, and piles of stones would roll down the mountain wall, causing heavy casualties to the Tang army and prisoners below, but to remove these wooden sticks would definitely delay time, and it would be miserable to be caught by the Tang army who was rushing over. ”

The other horsemen were overjoyed and immediately fled with the centurion. When Zhao Ziliang's servants chased them here, they found that there were dozens of piles of large and small stones piled up on the edge of the cliff, if these stones were allowed to roll down, the consequences would definitely be very miserable.

In the middle of the road, after a period of confusion, the Tang soldiers finally withdrew to the two ends, and all the prisoners were in the middle, but in the process, the Tang army had some losses, but fortunately, the Tang army at both ends blocked more than 1,000 prisoners in the middle.

Zhao Ziliang gathered the soldiers and immediately ordered: "The people used obey the order, the pikemen are in the front, the sword and shield hands are in the back, and the archers are second, if the prisoners take a step forward, they will be killed!" ”

The soldiers who received the order lined up in a neat formation to block the prisoners in the middle, and the Turkey prisoners who tried to storm the military formation were stabbed to the ground one after another, and after more than 100 dead and wounded, the unarmed prisoners no longer dared to force the attack on the two ends of the military formation.

After stabilizing the situation, Zhao Ziliang was finally able to free his hand, he jumped off the horse and came to the side of Panzhu Junxiu who fell to the ground, her neck was shot, and the arrow cut through the carotid artery, which not only caused her to lose a lot of blood, but also made her breath difficult, when Zhao Ziliang came to her with tears on her face, she was pale and depressed and stretched out her hand to touch Zhao Ziliang's face.

Zhao Ziliang immediately took her hand and put it on her face, and choked up: "Princess! ”

Du Modu's arrow was originally going to shoot Zhao Ziliang, but Panzhu Junxiu was on his right side, just blocking the arrow's flight route, it can be said that she blocked this arrow for Zhao Ziliang, and she saved Zhao Ziliang's life with her own life. Zhao Ziliang is very clear about this.

Panzhu Junxiu opened her mouth, but she couldn't speak because her neck was pierced by an arrow, she stroked Zhao Ziliang's face a few times, and her body began to twitch constantly, Zhao Ziliang could only hold down the wound on her neck to stop more blood from flowing out, while holding back tears.

Panzhu Junxiu's beautiful eyes slowly closed, and his hands were weakly lowered, Zhao Ziliang held back his crying and cried out in pain: "Princess", trying to call her back, but she will never wake up again.
