(Thank you for the monthly ticket voted for the biggest meal, thank you!) Ask for a subscription! )

Under the crimson battle flag, Li Jing straddled his horse and looked at the rout of the Shatuo people. It's time to close the net, Li Jing smiled lightly, and turned his head just in time to see the excited and expectant expressions of Liu Xun and the six people under the swaying and jumping firelight.

"Where is the pioneer of the festival!" Li Jing shouted.

Liu Xun, Wang Yanzhang, Gao Siji, Li Cunxiao, Fu Cun, and Yang Shihou all rolled down their horses and knelt down on one knee in front of Li Jing.

"Not in!"

"Ben Shuai will give you seven generals a hundred horses each, and capture Li Guochang alive for me."

"Order!" The seven generals were so excited that they turned on their horses, each gave an order, and galloped away with a hundred cavalry.

The horns whined and the iron whistle burst, and countless Tang horses in the darkness roared into the scattered Shatuo team, slashing and killing unscrupulously, not giving the Shatuo people any chance to try to regroup. The Liu family was surrounded by female sword guards and a group of young recruits to break through, but tonight the dark clouds were low, the starlight was dim, and they were chased by Tang Qi like a lost dog, and at this time they couldn't even tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest. The vast and infinite grassland can only be seen everywhere, and the cavalry of the Zhenguo Army is everywhere lit with torches chasing and driving away the Shatuo people.

Hundreds of them did not dare to fight, and they did not care about the east, south, north, west, and north, and only ran towards the place where there were few people. Running all the way to hide, all the way to hide, all the way to killing, the fewer soldiers around him are fighting, but the Tang cavalry around him seems to be fighting more and more. When it was almost dawn, there were less than 100 horsemen left around him, and he was finally blocked by a Tang cavalry chasing army on a river beach.

See the river. An experienced soldier said that the river was the Golden River. They fled all night. actually crossed the Shan Yu Metropolitan Protectorate. Ran to the Golden River. After crossing the Jinhe River, it is only fifty miles away from the white road, and you can cross the Yin Mountain through the white road and reach the Saiwai grassland in the north of the Yin Mountain.

But they were only fifty miles away, and they could not go any further.

In front is the golden river that is turbulent and icy but cannot step on the ice, and behind is the Tang Qi, who is chasing and approaching more and more. More than 100 people knew that Lu Dao would die at this time, but no one was willing to put down their swords. Liu Yunniang was holding a sword in her hand. There was still blood dripping on the sword, although she was a woman, but today this sword also drank the blood of several Tang soldiers. Turning the horse's head, she calmly looked at the approaching Tang Qi with her sword, and fought the most behind the most.

At this time, she sat on the horse with a calm face, deaf to the voice of a team of Tang cavalry more than a hundred steps away. Holding the corner of a handkerchief in his mouth, his left hand wrapped the right hand wounded by the handkerchief. Her phoenix wings were shot down by a feather arrow from a Tang rider on the way, and now she was holding a piece of buler with a green silk hair. She had a deep wound on her left forehead, and if it hadn't been for her helmet blocking it, she would have died from the arrow. Because I didn't have time to bandage. The crimson blood flowed down half of her face, and she wiped it with her own hands. Now his face is covered with dry and bloody scabs. In addition to the wound on her forehead, her left arm was wrapped in a blood-soaked silk cloth. She quickly wrapped the wound on her right hand, and with her teeth and dexterous fingers, she tied the handkerchief into a delicate bow, and then took a triangular thorn captured from the corpse of the Tang cavalry officer from the hand of the sword guard Thirteen Niang, danced lightly twice, and inserted it into the line that tied the skirt foot. A smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and the wound was well wrapped, but she could still impress.

Thirteen Niang opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, just clenched the hilt of the sword in her hand tightly, and the other sword guards didn't say anything. One hundred female sword guards, at this time there are less than thirty people left, women, after all, on the battlefield still suffer a lot more than men.

After Tang Qi shouted for a long time, seeing that they did not respond, he slowly pressed up. Tang cavalry only has less than forty horses, this was originally a team, there were seventy horses, but now, there is only a little more than half of them. Forty Tang horsemen lit torches, slowly urged the war horses, and pressed up little by little.

There was a trembling bowstring, followed by the sound of whizzing feathered arrows tearing through the air. In the darkness, arrows from both sides exchanged arrows, and from time to time someone snorted, and some people fell off their horses. There were casualties on both sides, but no one paid attention to this at this time, just kept shooting bows and arrows with red eyes.

One hundred steps, fifty steps, twenty steps, ten steps, five steps.

Liu Shihuo raised the long sword in his hand and shouted: "Kill!" Immediately, more than 30 female sword guards and more than 60 recruits also roared together: "Kill! She clamped her legs, and the war horse under her crotch immediately jumped out.

At this moment, suddenly there was a thunderous sound of horses' hooves, and in the darkness of the night a cavalry galloped with torches.

"Kill!"

An earth-shattering sound of killing sounded, and the more than forty horsemen suddenly changed, and those who did not love to fight immediately turned their horses' heads and rushed to the side. Tang Cai's reaction was very fast, and the cavalry who rushed in only intercepted a few people behind the most man.

Instead of pursuing the fleeing cavalry, the comers rode directly to the river beach.

Liu was still holding a sword in his hand, a little stunned.

A war horse galloped in, and a person rolled off the saddle, kneeling directly in front of her horse: "The heir is late, let the lady be frightened, and the crime deserves death." ”

Only then did Liu see that the person who came was actually Li Siyuan. I saw that Li Siyuan was covered in blood, and half of the armor on his left shoulder was missing, and there was a shocking wound on it, which was still bleeding.

Looking at Li Siyuan, who was seriously injured, and the more than 300 horsemen behind him, the Liu family already understood that Shan Yudu Hufu must also be an ambush of the Tang army.

"Si Yuan, your wounds are still bleeding." As he spoke, he directly took out a three-edged thorn and cut off the skirt of a petticoat, and wanted to bandage Li Siyuan.

Li Siyuan was stunned by her actions for a moment, and wanted to dodge, but he was reluctant in his heart, so he had to stand there stiffly, and let Liu help him bandage his wounds with a red face. He stared at Liu's hands, watching the pair of slender jade hands like onions and jade bandaging his wounds, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement in his heart. He mustered up the courage to raise his head and secretly looked at Liu's face, under the dim firelight, her goose-long face was a little pale, and a piece of green silk was tied with a piece of cloth, and a few locks of green silk were hanging down, and he couldn't help but be fascinated.

Liu wrapped the cloth around Li Siyuan's wound a few times, then tied a bow, and when he looked up, he just saw Li Siyuan looking at her in a daze. My heart sudden, and I couldn't help but turn my head immediately. Looking back again, seeing the embarrassed expression on Li Siyuan's face, he couldn't help pretending to know nothing calmly and asked, "Didn't Jing Niang bring my letter to you, how are the soldiers and horses, where is Si Zhao now, and have you rescued the old patriarch?" ”

Li Siyuan thought that Liu Shi didn't notice his rude gaze just now, so he felt a little better in his heart at this time, and replied: "There is an ambush of the Tang army in the Duhu Mansion alone, at least more than 3,000 people, and Jingniang was seriously injured on the road, but he still delivered the letter. By the time the letter arrived, we had already discovered that it was a trap, but it was too late. After the most rear, it was all up to Hei Zhao to desperately defend the south gate, and it took 3,000 soldiers and horses to escape from 1,000 horses. By the time we got back to camp, it was in chaos. We didn't find the old patriarch, I heard that I saw the lady retreat this way, so I searched all the way, and Hei Zhao took five hundred horses to look for the old patriarch in the other direction, and now I don't know what the situation is in the road. ”

After explaining the situation in front of him, Li Sizhao asked Liu: "Madam, what should we do now, please show me." ”

When Liu heard the situation in front of him, his heart was also in chaos. After thinking about it, he said, "Now we have less than five hundred horses on our hands, and it won't help to go back at this time." Now that we have reached the Golden River, there should be a pontoon bridge near here, and we will now find a way to take the pontoon bridge first, and then send some men and horses to send the people who have fled here to cross the river. After crossing the river, less than fifty miles is the white road, and you can cross the Yin Mountain through the white road. ”

Li Siyuan thought about it, so he and Liu took more than 400 horsemen to search along the river, and sure enough, there was a pontoon bridge five miles downstream, and there was a guard on this side of the bridge to guard the bridge. There were not many people in the fort, so Li Siyuan directly led people into the fort and easily occupied this small fort.

"Madame, you cross the river at once, and wait on the other side of the river. I'll leave a hundred men here to take care of the others. If the Tang army arrived, the lady immediately burned the pontoon bridge and led everyone to cross the Yin Mountain through the white road. ”

After speaking, Li Siyuan no longer waited for Liu's consent, turned his horse's head, and returned to the east with four hundred horsemen.

In the meadow on the left side of the Metropolitan Protectorate, Li Guochang reluctantly rode a horse and fled under the escort of more than 1,000 soldiers and horses. It's a pity that Li Guochang's team is too many, just like a bonfire in the glowworms in the summer night. Li Jing's seven Jiedu pioneers had already locked on them, and they kept chasing along the way, constantly pounced and bitten. After such a night, Li Guochang's army had less than 200 horsemen left at this time, and the rest were swallowed by the Seven Pioneers when they fled.

There is no escape, Li Guochang's body is so weak that he can't support it at all. And even if he could escape, he couldn't escape, he didn't want to escape. Seven armies surrounded them on all sides.

"Give me a sword!" Li Guochang is at the end of the road, with a tragic face. Even if it was death, he didn't want to be a captive.

But no one gave him a sword, "Dashuai, even if the brothers die, they must protect Dashuai to break through!" ”

The Seven Vanguards did not give them a chance to break through and launched an attack directly. Arrows galloping, spears wielding, swords slashing!

The Shatuo people fell one after another, and in front of the Tang cavalry, who had several times the advantage, they broke through and looked for death.

Li Guochang just picked up a horizontal knife and was about to kill himself, Zhou Dewei had already shot down the knife in his hand with an arrow, Li Cunxiao galloped to the horse, picked him up like a chicken and galloped back to the formation, and then threw it under the horse, several Tang soldiers rushed up, punched and kicked him, and then a cowhide rope tied him like a zongzi.

After the worst, Li Guochang was tied to the saddle by a rope, and was dragged back to the Shan Yu Protector's Mansion by the war horse all the way, and when Li Jing heard the news and saw him, Li Guochang had only half a life left at this time. (To be continued......)
