In a tragic battle outside Boxing City, the Han army lost nearly 20,000 troops, and the White Lotus army suffered nearly 50,000 casualties, and the price paid was much higher than that of the opponent.

But the White Lotus Sect has no other strengths, that is, there are many people, and after receiving Liu Jun's reinforcements, the strength is still as high as 100,000 people, and 100,000 soldiers and horses are stacked on top of each other, and they launched a siege and interception of the King of Han and his 3,000 cavalry on the Lubei Plain. In the next three days, the king of Han led his troops to break through the defense line of the White Lotus army several times, but under the exquisite command of Mo Wen, there were always countless large armies blocking the way of the king of Han, forcing him to rush left and right, but he could not escape from the encirclement of the White Lotus army.

What's even more terrifying is that the attrition on the side of the King of Han is extremely serious, and there are still a few soldiers killed in the breakout, and more cavalry are killed due to the loss of their horses, and they cannot continue to follow the King of Han to fight. And in this extremely difficult situation, it is impossible for the King of Han to take care of these soldiers who have lost their horses, so they can only be left behind and left to fend for themselves......

On the first day, hundreds of cavalry disappeared into the ranks of the Han king, and on the second day, the number of lost people was as high as a thousand, and by the third day, the cavalry around the Han king was less than five hundred! And all of them are wounded, hungry and cold, and the remnants of the defeated generals are not enough to describe the tragic situation of the Han King's subordinates at this moment.

However, at this time, the pursuers of the White Lotus Army suddenly disappeared, and His Royal Highness the King of Han and his remnants had a chance to breathe......

"Your Highness......" Hou Tai was haggard, and followed the King of Han with a staggering face, pointing to the front weakly and said: "There is a mountain village ahead, let's go to find some food to rest in, even if the soldiers can hold on, the war horses have to rest......"

In just a few days, His Royal Highness the King of Han has lost his weight, his cheekbones are high, the corners of his mouth are sunken, and his eyes are deeply sunken in his sockets. His beard was disheveled and disheveled, and the dirt stuck to his head and jaw. What's worse is that the left leg that was shot has become inflamed, the whole thigh is swollen and high, and the pus sticks to the wound tightly, and it is impossible to peel it off......

Looking at the war horses foaming at the left and right, and the tired soldiers who were about to die, King Han finally nodded.

"Enter the village!" Zhu Heng hurriedly ordered, and the soldiers were like being amnestied, and they desperately urged the war horses to drive into the small villages in the valley......

After entering the village, I found that the village was ruined, silent, and there was no one, and it had been abandoned for a long time.

"Keep your sentry posts, scouts take turns patrolling, and the rest of the people find a place to rest." Although there were only five hundred soldiers, Zhu Heng still gave orders meticulously.

Hou Tai found a courtyard that was still intact and invited King Han to rest.

The king of Han rode into the courtyard. When he was about to turn over and dismount, he was shocked to find that his entire left leg did not obey the call, and he did not go down at once.

"Lord Wang, beware of wounds." Hou Tai hurriedly stepped forward to help, but was pushed away by King Han.

I saw Zhu Gaoxu grit his teeth, flick his right leg, and jump off the horse. It's just that when he landed, his left foot was still not strong, and his body shook involuntarily twice.

Hou Tai stepped forward again and held King Han's arm, but this time King Han did not push him away again, let Hou Tai help him, and slowly entered the house.

Inside the house, there are guards hastily cleaned, but it is still difficult to hide the decay, the wall skin is mottled and peeled off, revealing the yellow mud embryo, the tables and chairs and furniture are rotten and damaged, and they are not usable at all, and the only thing that can sit on people is the earthen kang covered with straw.

"The straw is freshly found, so it's comfortable." As Hou Tai spoke, King Fuhan slowly sat down on the kang.

The king of Han sat very slowly, like an old man who was about to die, which Hou Tai had never seen in his service to the king of Han for most of his life.

"Lord Wang, your injury, let the imperial doctor take a second look." Hou Tai couldn't help but persuade.

"Look at what, he wants to abolish Lao Tzu's leg, it's good if Lao Tzu doesn't kill him!" King Han said with a dark face: "This king has profound skills, and if he is only injured, he will be fine!" ”

Seeing the expression on King Han's face that he wanted to eat people, Hou Tai had no choice but to close his mouth and withdraw to find food for King Han......

Coming out of the courtyard of the King of Han, Hou Tai saw the eunuch in charge of the Han King's meal, beckoned him and called him over: "Find something quickly and make up for the prince's body!" ”

The eunuch said with a sad face: "I don't know how long this ghost village has been empty, and the little ones searched all over the world and found a little bit of this." As he spoke, he took out a handful of moldy bran from the pocket tied around his waist and brought it to Hou Tai.

Smelling the strong musty smell, Hou Tai twisted his nose and said, "Nonsense, is this what people eat?" Do you dare to give it to the prince?! ”

"But we have nothing else to eat, what will I take if we don't take this?!" When the mountain was exhausted, the eunuch's tone to his boss was not very polite.

"Kill the horses." Hou Tai sighed.

"Kill the horse?" The eunuch's face changed, the reason why they have not been caught by the White Lotus Army is that they rely on the war horse under their crotch, and there is no extra war horse now, and even the situation of two people riding together abounds. The eunuch said with a bitter face: "At this juncture, killing someone's horse is equivalent to killing someone's life, it's strange that person doesn't fight with me!" ”

"I can't care so much! Kill! If you don't kill others, you will be killed! Hou Tai was extremely irritable, how could he be in the mood to talk nonsense with him, so he flicked his sleeves and said, "Hurry up!" ”

"Hey......" The eunuch had no choice but to bite the bullet......

No matter how many incidents were made, an hour later, Hou Tai came up with steaming broth.

King Han didn't have much appetite, he leaned on the kang head, and said in a sullen voice to Zhu Heng opposite: "Is there any news from the people sent to Qingzhou?" Did Liu Sheng's reinforcements be sent? ”

Zhu Heng shook his head slowly and said in a low voice: "There is no news, I'm afraid Liu Sheng can't count on it." ”

"If this king dies, he won't survive!" King Han slammed his fist on the table, and the bowl of horse broth, which was so easy to stew, was shaken to the ground, and Hou Tai twitched in distress.

"If Liu Sheng knew the situation of the prince, he would definitely come to the rescue desperately, I am afraid that he still knows nothing." Zhu Heng sighed, who in the world would have expected that His Royal Highness the King of Han, who is powerful in the world, commanded 10,000 iron cavalry and 30,000 troops, could be forced to a dead end by the rabble of the White Lotus Army in one battle? "The last general suspects that Jinyiwei has blocked all news."

"Wang Xian......" King Han gritted his teeth and said these two words, which had never been so desperate as today.

"Lord Wang, although the White Lotus Army has disappeared temporarily, the last general is becoming more and more worried in his heart, I'm afraid it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's move as soon as possible." Zhu Heng frowned and said, "It's safe only when you arrive in Qingzhou." ”

"How far is it from Qingzhou?" King Han asked expressionlessly.

"It's just a hundred miles." Zhu Heng replied softly.

"One hundred miles ......" King Han's eyes wandered, looking at the cobwebs on the beam and said: "If it's usual, it's half a day." ”

"Hey, this time and that time...... Zhu Heng sighed, with the current state, it would be good to be able to arrive in two days, and it had to be without hindrance.

After listening to the prince and Zhu Heng finish talking about business, Hou Tai hurriedly went out, came in with another bowl of broth, and said to King Han with a bitter face: "Lord, this time you have to eat anything first......

Before he finished speaking, the curtain behind him jerked up, and a guard stumbled in, and hit Hou Tai's back without paying attention......

Hou Tai was about to have a seizure, but the guard took the lead, lay on the ground and raised his head, and shouted in a lost voice: "Lord Wang, it's not good!" We're surrounded! ”

"What?!" Zhu Heng stood up as soon as he could, and Zhu Gaoxu was also taken aback, wanting to stand up, but he didn't have any strength at all.

"How many White Lotus Troops are there?" Zhu Heng hurriedly asked.

"There are about three or four thousand people surrounding the village...... "The guard hastened.

Hearing that there were not many people, Zhu Heng breathed a sigh of relief, but listened to the guard continue: "They are all dressed in black, under the banner of revenge, they don't look like people from the White Lotus Sect......"

"It doesn't matter who he is, quickly help the prince to get on the horse, and he will protect the prince and kill him in the end!" Zhu Heng gritted his teeth, arched his hand towards King Han, and rushed out......

After a while, the more than 500 horsemen who had been alarmed all got on their horses and prepared to set off, and the King of Han also got on the horse with the support of Hou Tai and several others, Zhu Heng rode over and said in a loud voice: "The last general will open the way ahead, and we will protect the prince if we work hard!" ”

The king of Han had a blue face, did not speak or nodded, but looked gloomily at the number of big flags at the entrance of the village, the flagpole was three zhang high, the flag was made of white cloth of Zhang Xu Jianfang, and the shocking blood-red characters on the top were 'Avenging General Zhou Yong', 'Avenging General Hu Sandao', 'Avenging General Shi Wan', which could be seen clearly from afar!

King Han looked back again, and sure enough, he saw that this small mountain village had been surrounded by hundreds of flags of the same size, and there were also shocking blood-red characters on them, but the names of the people were different.

'Avenge General Zhou Kang!' ’

'Avenge General Gao Niu'er!' ’

'Avenge General Deng Xiaoren!' ’

'Avenge the Black Donkey General!' ’

'Avenge Brother Zhang Cheng!' ’

'Avenge Brother Luo Fei!' ’

'Avenge Brother Zhao Xin!' ’

Looking at the two or three hundred banners surrounding him, could Han Wangyan know that he had been surrounded by Wang Xian's people? He first spun around for a while, and then sneered disdainfully: "The villain is proud!" ”

Zhu Heng waited for a while, but waited until King Han said this, and was stunned for a moment before he realized that he was not scolding himself, seeing that King Han had wandered out of the world, he had no choice but to turn around and say in a loud voice: "Brothers, rush with me!" With that, he rushed out first.

Immediately, more than 300 horsemen rushed out after Zhu Heng, and the remaining 200 horsemen followed the king of Han and protected the king of Han to follow behind.

Just rushed from the center of the village to the entrance of the village, a distance of more than a mile, among the cavalry that followed Zhu Heng in front, more than a dozen people and horses lost their front hooves, and were thrown to the ground by the war horses that fell to the ground, and their tendons and bones were broken.
