Chapter 90 Goshawk Playing Rats Walking Danzhou, White-robed Scholars Battle Liaodong (II)
(Third Update.) )
Deep in the mountains and forests.
Twenty or thirty figures sprang out of the dense forest and entered a small canyon, and some of them kept looking back, their faces full of fear, and their hurried steps were like frightened prey being pursued by hunters.
Their clothes had been torn and ragged, and they were no different from beggars, and even the better-dressed beggars looked neater than they were. Their exposed skin, covered with blood marks from the grass and trees, crisscrossed and shocking, and even many of the wounds were mixed with sawdust and thorns, and those turned out wounds were especially horrific to look at.
However, these people obviously didn't have the heart to take care of their image, and they didn't even have time to take care of those hideous-looking and terrifying wounds, they just kept running and running, not to mention stopping, even if they didn't dare to slow down for a moment. The occasional startled bird in the mountains and forests would startle them, raise their heads in horror, and after finding that it was just some birds, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
With a plop, someone accidentally stepped over a boulder, was hooked to his heel, and his body fell suddenly, falling heavily into the rock, and his head hit the raised stone thorn, and blood suddenly gushed out of his head, instantly staining his neck red.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, Zadam has fallen!" Someone shouted loudly, catching up with the young man who was at the head of them, with an anxious expression, "Your Highness! ”
Jerod glanced back, and the man who had fallen into the rubble and was still pumping out fell into view, but he did not stop for a moment, retracted his gaze and continued to run.
The person who came to report the news was in a hurry, "Your Highness, we ...... Don't save Zadham?! ”
"He's dying and can't be saved!" Jerod didn't look back, but cut the thorns that stood in front of him with his sword.
"But......" said the man.
Yerod turned his head and glared at him fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, "Haig, it's nothing good!" If you want to live, hurry up, do you think we were delayed because he was alone, and Li Congjing caught up?! ”
Haig was stunned and could no longer speak, for Jerod was telling the truth.
On that day, they ambushed Li Congjing at Huya Pass, but they never thought that they would fall into Li Congjing's calculations. After fighting with Li Congjing for less than a moment, Yelu Deguang, who was slashed in the shoulder by the other party, immediately led his troops to retreat, leaving only the sword broken.
However, it was then that the nightmare began.
The sword that was said to have come from a sword sect in a distant place and had extraordinary martial arts didn't stop Li Congjing for long at all, and was restrained by Li Congjing. The disciples of the Sword Sect he brought with him surrendered to Li Congjing one after another, and they no longer resisted stubbornly. Li Congjing almost didn't make much effort to clean up Yelu Deguang's broken manpower, and from this, he began to hunt down Yelu Deguang.
The hateful crossing was stopped by the cavalry of Furong Town, and everyone was unable to break through and had to flee into the mountains and forests.
Everyone thought that they could use the terrain, grass and trees to get rid of Li Congjing's pursuit when they entered the mountains and forests, but unfortunately, it backfired, and soon after entering the mountains and forests, they were caught up by Li Congjing.
In a confrontation, Yerod left thirty people behind, and all of them were lost.
was caught up for the second time, and after leaving twenty people behind, all of them were lost.
The third time, they were surrounded by Li Congjing, and in that battle, more than 100 people who followed Yelu Deguang's side lost most of them before they were able to protect Yelu Deguang's escape.
After these battles, Haig finally knew that there was a thief named Ma Xiaodao under Li Congjing, who was once the leader of the horse gang, who had been gathering in the mountains and forests for many years, not to mention that he was no longer familiar with the routines of escaping and chasing in the mountains and forests, but he knew the terrain within a radius of hundreds of miles!
At first, with Haig's good sense of direction, Yelu Deguang also wanted to go back to the Gubeikou Pass to join the army outside the Guan, but soon, they found that this idea was expected by Li Congjing, and their countless efforts were all in vain under Li Congjing's interception.
In the end, when the manpower around him was becoming scarcer, Yelu Deguang had to give up this effort, because they gradually lost the strength to save their lives, and there were less than thirty people left with him so far!
Before this, Haig couldn't imagine that their invincible and invincible Highness would be so powerless to fight back in front of a Han general, and even saving his life became an extremely difficult thing!
They followed Yelu Deguang to get merit and glory, so as to become a step into the future life, but they never thought that this time when they went to Danzhou, the credit was not earned, but they lost their lives one after another!
Haig suddenly heard a muffled sound beside him, he turned his head to look, and saw that his An Da was falling to the ground, he hurriedly went to help him, but he couldn't help him, he suddenly realized that he didn't have much strength left, because ...... He hadn't eaten in a long time!
"Ann, I'...... I was so hungry that I really didn't have the strength to go any further. Haig's An A also wanted to stand up desperately, struggling, but couldn't stand up, he looked at Haig pleadingly, desperately grabbed the other party's hand, "An A, you and I have said that we want to live and die together, you don't leave me, save me...... Save me! ”
Haig burst into tears, nodded desperately, he and this An A grew up together, his archery skills are still taught by the other party's father, not to mention that the two have a deep relationship, the other party's identity is not simple, the two families have a friendship, often help each other in the court, Haig did not intend to let go, he used his waist to hold up An A, "An A, don't worry, I will not leave you, we are the best An A, this life will be a share of honor and disgrace!" ”
"Haig, what are you doing!" Haig suddenly heard a sharp rebuke, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw Yerod Light, whose face was as black as ink, striding towards him.
"Your Highness, An'an replied that he was so hungry that he had no strength......" Haig hurriedly explained, seeing Yeludeguang's eyes, he was keenly aware of something, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, let's take a rest, rest for a while and then leave!" It doesn't take long for him to regain his strength......"
"Shut up!" Yelu Deguang's chest rose and fell violently with chapped lips and blood, he was also tired and weak, and he calmed his breathing, Yelu Deguang said with a gloomy look: "You should know how to do it, we don't have time to delay!" ”
Haig naturally knew what Yerod Light was referring to, he shook his head again and again in panic, and pulled his An An to step back, "No, Your Highness! An Da's father is a general of the Division, you can't leave him, if he is abandoned here, his father will definitely not be close to His Highness anymore, and may even throw himself to the crown prince, Your Highness, you ......"
At the critical moment, Haig did not care about taboos, and his words were direct.
However, what responded to him was the long knife that Yerod suddenly slashed over!
Jerod struck Hag Anda in the neck and slew him here!
Haig watched his An answer slowly fall down, the despair and grief in the other party's eyes made his heart like a knife, and he couldn't help but tremble.
"With this burden, none of us can leave!" Yerod grabbed Haig's collar, "Is it important to be the son of a general in the near division, or the king is important, can't you tell the difference?!" ”
After that, he turned around and walked away without looking back, "Go!" That's an order! ”
Looking at the indifferent back of Yerod Light, Haig's heart was in turmoil, and after a long time, he squatted down, closed his eyes for An An, who was not blind to death, and said in a voice that only he could hear: "Anda, rest in peace!" When he looked up at the light of Jerod again, his eyes no longer had the respect and worship that had been there for a long time, but turned into a colorless indifference.
There was a stream in the valley, and after two hours of haste they had fled to the brook, and when they reached the brook, all the hungry and thirsty people were so full of joy that no one went to ask for the order of Jerod Light, but they all rushed to the brook, buried their heads in the water, and drank with great gulps.
Yerod Guang also breathed a sigh of relief, and at this time he didn't have the heart to care about the rudeness of these people, he said to Haig with dignity: "Haig, go and fetch water." ”
Haig silently walked to the brook, filled the water bladder, and walked up to Jerod naked and handed it to him.
Yerod Guang picked up the water bladder and gulped the cow drink, and when he put down the water bladder, the corners of his eyes showed satisfaction, and he handed the water bladder to Haig, "Let everyone hurry up and fill the water bladder, this place is not suitable for a long time!" ”
Haig took two steps, looked up by chance, and suddenly stopped, frozen in place.
Jerod looked at Haig's gaze, and his heart was shocked, and he reflexively jumped up from where he was sitting.
On the mountain not far away, there is a person standing with his hands in his hands, and his green robe is fluttering.
Yelu Deguang was very familiar with this figure, and he couldn't help but turn pale.
At this time, some people by the stream also saw the figure, and suddenly, everyone exploded.
"There's someone on the hill!"
"Li Congjing, it's Li Congjing!"
"Li Congjing is here again, run, run!"
"Run, Your Highness!"
The Khitan barbarians by the stream jumped up one after another, no longer caring about the water bladder, running from place to place, and making a mess. That figure had given them enough terrible nightmares, and every time he appeared, it meant that someone was going to stay here forever. It is precisely because that figure has appeared again and again that they, the proud sons of the Great Khitan Kingdom, have been damaged and damaged, and now there are only more than 20 people left!
But the light did not move, as if he had been immobilized, and froze in place. It's not that he doesn't want to move, but the figure that is less than two hundred steps away from him, there is already an extra pair of bows and arrows in his hand, and the cold arrows are pointing at him from afar.
Two hundred steps, not close, but not far, the range of an ordinary bow and arrow naturally cannot reach this far, but a strong bow can do it. Yelu Deguang was motionless, and by now, he had long lost his grasp of Li Congjing's terrifying combat power.
He didn't move, Li Congjing didn't move, the bow and arrow in his hand were as steady as Mount Tai, although they were far away, but Yelu Deguang seemed to see the smile on the corner of Li Congjing's mouth - a smile full of banter and mockery!
Jerod was so embarrassed that he suddenly took a step to the side, and hid behind Haig with lightning speed! After bowing and waiting for a while, but there was no movement, Yelu Deguang cautiously poked his head out, but found that the arrow in Li Congjing's hand was still on the longbow like a full moon.
Yerod's face was flushed, and the extreme sense of humiliation in his heart made him tremble all over, and the hand holding the knife was bruised.
The Tang army, killed from all directions, fought with the Khitan barbarians by the stream.
"Your Highness, if you don't leave, when the Tang army comes over, you won't be able to leave!" Haig's emotionless voice rang out.
Jerod roared, "Move with this king!" He didn't dare poke his head out from behind Haig.
Haig said indifferently: "Your Highness, I can't leave." ”
"What?"
"Your Highness, you might as well poke your head out and see that I have been locked by several archers, and if I move half a step, I will die on the spot."
Jerod looked left and right in astonishment, and sure enough, he found several archers in the forest not far away, who were pointing their bows and arrows at Haig.
However, they can shoot Haig, and naturally they can shoot Yerod Light, but they don't move at all.
Haig sighed and said: "Your Highness, Li Congjing's intention is obvious, he just wants you to escape, and then personally shoot him with a bow and arrow." He deliberately stood so far away and didn't let anyone else do anything to you, which makes it clear that he was teasing you! ”
