(Thank you for the monthly ticket you cast for Chin, thank you! Please subscribe!)
Under the red battle flag, Li Jing sat down and looked at the defeat of the Shatuo people. It was time to close the net. Li Jing smiled gently and turned his head to see the excited and expectant expressions of Liu Xun and the six people under the swaying and jumping fire.
"Where is the vanguard of the military vanguard!" Li Jing shouted loudly.
Liu Xun, Wang Yanzhang, Gao Siji, Li Cunxiao, Fu Cun, and Yang Shihou all got out of the horse and knelt down on one knee in front of Li Jing. Zhou Dewei was stunned for a moment, remembering that he was also in charge of the position of vanguard of the military, so he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down.
“Not to be here!”
"I will give you seven generals and each of them is 100 cavalry, and I will capture Li Guochang alive."
"Get orders!" The seven generals were extremely excited, turned over the horses, each shouted the orders, and took a hundred cavalry and ran away.
The horn was long and iron whistle. In the dark, countless Tang cavalry roared into the dispersed Shatu team, slashing and killing unscrupulously, without giving Shatu people any chance to try to gather again. Liu was surrounded by female sword guards and a group of young and strong recruits to break through. However, tonight, the dark clouds were low and the stars were dim. They were chased by Tang cavalry like a stray dog. At this time, they could not even tell the difference between the south, west and north. The vast grassland was only the overwhelming sky and the earth, and the torches were lit everywhere to chase the town cavalry that drove the Shatu people away.
Hundreds of them dared not fight, and they didn't care about the southeast, west and north, and ran towards places with fewer people. They ran and hid, hiding, and killed, and the fewer soldiers around them, but the more Tang cavalry around them seemed to be fighting. Finally, when dawn was approaching, less than a hundred cavalry were left beside them, and they were finally blocked by a Tang cavalry pursuer.
When I saw this river, an experienced soldier said that the river was the Jin River. They ran around overnight and actually crossed the Shanyu Protectorate and ran to the Jin River. After crossing the Jin River, they were only fifty miles away from Baidao. After passing the Baidao, they could cross Yin Mountain and reach the grassland outside the border north of Yin Mountain.
But they were only fifty miles apart, but they could never get through again.
In front was the golden river, which was surging with ice but could not cross the ice, and behind was the Tang cavalry who was chasing and getting closer and closer. More than a hundred people knew that they would die at this time, but no one was willing to put down their swords and weapons. Liu Yunniang was holding a sword in her hand. There was still blood dripping on the sword. Although she was a woman, today the sword also drank the blood of several Tang soldiers. Turning the horse's head, she calmly looked at the approaching Tang cavalry with the sword, and finally took the last try.
At this time, she sat calmly on the horse, deafing the sound of the Tang cavalry's surrender more than a hundred steps away. She held a corner of her handkerchief in her mouth and wrapped her right hand around her wounded hand. Her phoenix winged cavalry was shè by a Tang cavalry's feather arrow halfway, and now she tied her hair with a piece of Ble. There was a deep bone-deep wound on her forehead on her left forehead. If it weren't for the helmet blocking her, she would have died under the arrow. Because she hadn't had time to bandage it. The red blood flowed through half of her face and was again by her
I wiped it with my hands. Now my face is covered with dry blood scabs. In addition to the wounds on my forehead, her left arm is also wrapped in a piece of blood-soaked silk cloth. She quickly wrapped the wound on her right hand, and used her teeth and skillful fingers to tie the handkerchief a bow that looked very delicate. Then she took a handkerchief from the Thirteenth Lady of the Sword Guard, and danced gently twice, and inserted it into the tangle of the skirt. A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. The wound was well wrapped, but she could still impress her.
Thirteen Niang opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything. She just held the hilt of the sword in her hand tightly, and the other sword guards didn't say anything. There were less than thirty people left at this time. Women were still suffering a lot on the battlefield.
After calling for a long time, the Tang cavalry slowly pressed up to see that they did not respond. The Tang cavalry had less than forty cavalry. This was originally a team with seventy cavalry, but now there are only a little more than half left. The forty cavalry were playing torches and slowly activate the war horses, pressing them up little by little.
A gust of bowstrings trembled, followed by the sound of feather arrows tearing the air. In the dimness, arrows from both sides came and went, and from time to time, some people groaned, and some people fell off the horse. Both sides suffered casualties, but no one paid attention to this at this time, but they were just red eyes and kept drawing arrows.
One hundred steps, fifty steps, twenty steps, ten steps, five steps.
Liu Shihuo raised the long sword in his hand and shouted: "Kill!" Then more than thirty female sword guards and more than 60 new recruits also roared: "Kill!" She clamped her legs and immediately jumped out of the war horse under her crotch.
At this moment, suddenly a sound of horse hooves like thunder came, and a cavalry rushed toward the dark night with torches.
"kill!"
A sound of killing sounds sounded, and the more than 40 cavalry Tang cavalry changed rapidly. The one who was not interested in fighting immediately turned his head and rushed to one side. The Tang cavalry reacted very quickly, and the cavalry that arrived only intercepted the few people at the end.
Instead of chasing the escaped cavalry, the people came directly rode their horses to the river beach.
Liu was still holding a sword in his hand, and was a little dazed and dazed.
A war horse galloped over, and a man rolled down on the saddle, and knelt directly in front of her horse: "Siyuan was late and frightened his wife, and he deserved to die."
Only then did Liu see that the person coming was Li Siyuan. Li Siyuan was covered in blood, and half of the armor on his left shoulder disappeared, and there was a shocking wound on it, and blood was still flowing.
Looking at Li Siyuan who was seriously injured and the more than 300 cavalry behind him, Liu already understood that the Shanyu Protectorate must have been an ambush of the Tang army.
"Siyuan, your wound is still bleeding." As he said that, he took out a triangular thorn and cut off the legs of a petticoat, and wanted to bandage Li Siyuan.
Li Siyuan was stunned by her actions and wanted to avoid it, but she was reluctant to let it go. In the end, she had to stand there stiffly, her face was red and let Liu bandage the wound. He stared at Liu's hands, and as she looked at the slender jade hands like onion and jade, which were bandaging the wounds for him, bursts of excitement rose in his heart. He mustered up the courage to raise his head and secretly looked at Liu's face. Under the dim firelight, her long goose face was a little pale, with a piece of black hair tied up by a piece of cloth, and several strands of blue hair hanging down. He couldn't help but be fascinated by seeing it.
Liu clan wrapped the cloth around Li Siyuan's wound for a few times, then tied a bow. When he looked up, he happened to see Li Siyuan staring at her in a daze. His heart suddenly broke out and he turned his head immediately. Looking back, he saw the shameful expression on Li Siyuan's face, he couldn't help but pretend to know nothing and asked calmly: "Didn't Jingniang bring my letter to you? What about the soldiers and horses? Where is Sizhao now? Are you still rescued the old patriarch?"
Li Siyuan thought that Liu did not notice his rude gaze just now, and felt a little better. He replied: "There are Tang soldiers in the Shanyu Protectorate Mansion, with at least 3,000 people. Jingniang was seriously injured on the way, but he still sent the letter. When we sent the letter, we had already discovered that it was a trap, but it was too late. In the end, it was all up to Si Zhao to defend the South Gate to death, and three thousand soldiers escaped from the thousand cavalry. When we rushed back to the camp, the camp was already in chaos. We did not find the old patriarch. When we heard that when the wife retreated to this side, I searched all the way. Si Zhao took five hundred cavalry to the other direction to find the old patriarch. Now I don't know what the situation is."
After explaining the situation in front of him, Li Sizhao asked Liu: "Madam, what should we do now? Please tell me."
When Liu heard the situation in front of him, he felt in chaos. After thinking for a while, he said, "Now we have less than 500 riders in our hands, so it would be useless to go back at this time. Now we have arrived at the Jinhe River, and there should be a floating bridge nearby. Now we find a way to seize the floating bridge first, and then send some people to send the people who fled here to cross the river. After crossing the river, there will be Baidao in less than 50 miles, and you can cross Yin Mountain by Baidao."
Li Siyuan thought about it and led more than 400 cavalry along the river with Liu. Sure enough, there was a floating bridge five miles downstream, and there was a village guarding the bridge on the side of the bridge. There were not many people in the fort, so Li Siyuan directly took people into the fort and easily occupied the small fort.
"Madam, you cross the river immediately and wait across the river. I will leave a hundred people here to meet the other people. If the Tang army arrives, the Madam will immediately burn the floating bridge and take everyone over the Yin Mountain through Baidao."
After saying that, Li Siyuan stopped waiting for Liu's agreement, turned his horse's head and roared with four hundred cavalry and returned eastward.
In the meadow on the left side of the Shanyu Protectorate, Li Guochang barely rode his horse and fled by more than a thousand soldiers. Unfortunately, Li Guochang's team had too many troops, just as obvious as a bonfire among fireflies in summer nights. Li Jing's seven military vanguards had already locked on them, chasing them all the way, constantly pounced on and biting them. After such a night, Li Guochang's team had only less than two hundred cavalry left, and the rest were swallowed by the seven vanguards while they were running away.
There was no escape, and Li Guochang was so weak that he could not support him at all. And even if he could still escape, he could not escape and did not want to escape. Seven soldiers and horses from all directions surrounded them.
"Give me a sword!" Li Guochang's hero was at the end, with a tragic look on his face. Even if he died, he didn't want to be a prisoner.
But no one gave him a sword, "Master, even if you die, you must protect the Master to break through!"
The seven pioneers did not give them a chance to break through and directly launched an attack. The arrows were flying, the spears were swinging, and the sabre was slashing!
The Shatuo people fell one after another, and in front of the Tang cavalry who had a few times the advantage, they broke through to death.
Li Guochang just picked up a horizontal knife and was about to commit suicide. Zhou Dewei had already dropped the knife in his hand with one arrow. Li Cunxiao rushed over and picked him up like a chicken and returned to the formation. Then he threw it under the horse. Several Tang soldiers rushed forward, punched and kicked him, and then tied him up like a rice dumpling.
