The action of killing two people in a row was completed very coherently, and it all depended on the physical fitness of the person he possessed.

The other three cavalrymen on the horse were immediately furious, raised their spears and stabbed at Zhou Bo. However, Zhou Bo had been prepared, he knew that the cavalry had extremely strong combat effectiveness on the vast battlefield, but it was overstretched in close combat. He ran directly behind one of the horsemen and followed his horse's butt.

The three cavalrymen turned around, and when they were close, they would collide together, and if they were far away, they would not be able to stab Zhou Bo, and more importantly, they would not turn around on horseback to attack.

Zhou Bo saw the opportunity and slashed first on the leg of the rear horse of the cavalryman he was following. The horse fell to its knees in pain, and pressed the horsemen on horseback just under them. He hurriedly stepped forward and aimed a knife at the head of the cavalryman, but the position of the lower knife was a little off, and he did not cut off the head.

"Well, you thief, look at grandpa, I'll break you into ten thousand pieces!" The previous leader of the cavalry saw that he had broken three of his men in a blink of an eye, and he was immediately furious. He retreated his horse for some distance, then turned around and charged at Zhou Bo.

Zhou Bo didn't think much about it, raised his knife with both hands and threw it with all his might, right on the neck of the horse of the leader cavalry. The horse fell to the ground, knocking the horseman half to death.

But at this moment, the last cavalryman seized the opportunity, and with a spear, he stabbed Zhou Bo in the side.

Zhou Bo tried his best to retreat for a while, but he still couldn't dodge it, and was stabbed in the waist by this thorn. He felt a burning pain in his lower back, clenched his teeth and did not scream, and grabbed the handle of the spear with both hands. With the help of the opponent's attack, he snatched the spear down at once.

The cavalryman saw that he had lost his weapon. Hurriedly pulled out his saber and slashed at Zhou Bo again. Zhou Bo endured severe pain. He pulled out the spear that had been pierced into his body, turned his head upside down and stabbed at the cavalry. As the saying goes, one inch is long and one inch is strong, and the saber in the hands of the cavalry is naturally not enough for the length of the spear, and he was stabbed and dropped off the horse on the spot.

Zhou Bo took two breaths, picked up a knife from the ground, walked in front of the leader of the cavalry, and made up for the man who could no longer move.

Killing five people in one go was never an easy task, and Zhou Bo sat down on the bank of the river. I took a few deep breaths. He was very glad that he had passed through the possessed general, who was strong, otherwise he would probably have died just now.

Although he had seen many dead people in the three days he had traveled, it was the first time he had killed someone. At this moment, my heart was pounding, and an unprecedented sense of tension made my whole body unable to move.

But soon, the pain of the waist wound woke Zhou Bo up. He struggled to his feet, unfastened his armor, and examined his injuries. Fortunately, the cavalry did not charge before, the strength was not very heavy, and with the protection of armor, it did not hurt the internal organs.

He went to the river to clean his wounds. I cut a strip of cloth and wrapped it. After thinking about it, he simply changed into Qi Bing's armor. just hid the guards of the generals of the Song army close to him, so as not to be killed by his own people when he encountered the Song army.

After packing up his swords and bows, Zhou Bo saw the war horses left behind by the dead cavalry. In ancient times, horses were very valuable, even if they could not be sold, they could be slaughtered when they were hungry on the road. So he mounted one of the horses, and then led the other two intact horses with him.

He pondered for a moment, and with his knowledge of history, the Southern Song Dynasty was now under a full-scale attack by the Jin State and the puppet Qi coalition army, and the Yangtze River was under great pressure. On Jingnan Road, where he is now, the six counties of Xiangyang Prefecture in the north have all been lost, and the safest place from here is only Ezhou.

It seems that he can only go to Ezhou first! Zhou Bo has decided.

Immediately, he spun his horse's head and trotted south.

To the south is the direction out of the woods, but fortunately, there is a Qi army as a cover now, but it doesn't look so nervous. In ancient times, the technology of distinguishing between friend and foe was far from developed, not to mention that the pseudo-Qi soldiers were all Han people who surrendered to the Jin State, and even if they didn't know each other, they wouldn't be so suspicious.

Soon Zhou Bo got out of the woods and returned to the previous official road again.

At this time, the official road has long been without the bustling crowd of fleeing people before, a robbery has just ended, the surroundings are very silent, only corpses and blood are left all over the ground, and the eyes are chilling everywhere. Occasionally, the cry of a baby could be heard in the distance, but it quickly disappeared again.

Walking along the official road for a while, I suddenly saw more than a dozen pseudo-Qi foot soldiers rummaging in the pile of corpses in front of them looking for valuable things, although they saw Zhou Bo coming on horseback, but no one paid attention to him, so let him pass through the middle.

The difference in military discipline of the puppet Qi soldiers has long spread throughout the north and south, and Liu Yu, the puppet Qi lord who was supported by the Jin people, was originally the prefect of the Song Dynasty.

Zhou Bo continued to trot forward for about two miles, and saw seven or eight broken carriages in the middle of the road, which were obviously left behind by the dignitaries who had fled from Xiangyang City earlier. At this time, he heard many low sobs not far away, mostly women's voices.

He rode over and saw at the bottom of a hill more than twenty people sitting in a ball. Most of these people are women, and it can be seen from the clothes and ornaments that they are all maids, and there are also a few well-dressed rich sons mixed in. It was they who made the cry. There were several corpses on the other side of the hill, which seemed to be rich old men and the like, and their deaths were extremely cruel.

What's even more surprising is that right next to these corpses, three pseudo-Qi soldiers are raping three young women without hesitation. These humiliated women were in pain, tears raining down, but no one dared to make any resistance.

In addition to these three beasts, there was also a disheveled soldier standing in front of the twenty-odd people, and from time to time he deliberately made things difficult for the maids, grabbing their breasts wantonly.

When Zhou Bo rode over, the eyes of the more than 20 Song people only had fear, but those pseudo-Qi soldiers didn't see it. For the soldiers of the Qi army, even if it was a high-ranking officer who came over. Unless it's your immediate boss. Otherwise, most people would not have bowed.

Zhou Bo was struggling in his heart. Do you want to save these people? I was able to kill five pseudo-Qi soldiers in the past, but now that I have finally escaped, is it necessary to get involved in these things again? However, as a civilized person in the 21st century, conscience still prevails.

He rode around the hill on horseback, and after making sure that there were no other Pseudo-Qi soldiers around, he rode back again. Coming to the front of the hill, he turned over and dismounted, and walked over to the disheveled guard.

The guards saw Zhou Bo. Thinking that the other party was here to have fun, he said: "Brother, which battalion? These little ladies are all trophies of our brothers, if you want to play, you can choose a hundred coppers at will." ”

Zhou Bo decided to distract the other party's attention first, so he smiled slightly and said, "I am a scout of the left battalion, and the battalion commander is ordering troops at the west gate of Xiangyang City, and he sent me to look around to see if there are any brothers who have fallen behind. ”

The soldier was stunned and glanced at Zhou Bo vigilantly. He asked, "Are you under the command of the Zuo Battalion? I am also from the Zuo Battalion, why have I never seen you?"

Zhou Bo continued to smile and said, "Of course. Because I am the left battalion of the Pusheng Xiang Army. ”

Pusheng is the number of the Xiangyang Fu Xiang Army, and each local Xiang Army in the Song Dynasty has its own number, and it is usually possible to judge the place where this army belongs from the number.

The pseudo-Qi soldier was immediately shocked, but before he could react, he only heard the sound of the sword being drawn, and the sword light flashed on his neck, and a cavity of blood spurted out.

Then the unjust ghost fell to the ground, convulsed and then remained motionless.

Those Song people were frightened when they saw this, and they shrank back one after another.

Zhou Bo ignored them, and immediately ran to the other side of the hill, launching a sneak attack from behind, hacking to death all the three Qi soldiers who were looking for fun. Originally, when the first one was hacked to death, the other two were alarmed, but they had no armor or blades, and they didn't even run far before they were caught up and cut down.

When Zhou Bo ran back again, none of those Song people thought of escaping, and the thoughts of ancient people were always so strange. However, the appearance of his blood made these people even more frightened, and their cries became more and more miserable.

"Don't be afraid, a certain is a Song general, a certain has already killed those Qi soldiers, you can flee quickly. He gasped and said that killing people was a very strenuous physical task.

These Song people finally breathed a sigh of relief, but none of them got up and fled. More than a dozen maids looked at the rich sons, obviously the master was gone, the son was the head of the family, even if he wanted to run, he had to obey the master's orders.

At this time, a boy in a brocade robe staggered to his feet, his face was very pale, and there was a bit of fear in his eyes, he stepped forward and arched his hand to Zhou Bo, and asked, "Dare to ask which way the general is under his command?"

Zhou Bo replied: "In the left battalion of the Xiangyang Xiang Army, prepare to take Zhou Bo." ”

When the boy heard that Zhou Bo was just a nine-rank little general, he suddenly felt a little contempt in his heart, and the original fear on his face gradually disappeared, and said: "Oh, it turned out to be Zhou Bo, I am Xu Xiangtian, the son of Xu Yuanzhi, the Junzhou Observation Envoy. ”

Zhou Bo knew that the Observation Envoy was a senior official of the fifth grade, eight levels higher than his own rank, and he usually gave false titles to those officials with high reputation. However, Junzhou had fallen as early as four months ago, and many Junzhou officials who had fled to Xiangyang City had also followed Li Hui to retreat south three days earlier, so how could Xu Xiangtian stay in Xiangyang City and not leave?

He arched his hand to Xu Xiangtian first, and said, "It turned out to be Xu Yanei, who frightened Yanai before." Dare to ask how Yanai is here?"

Xu Xiangtian sighed and said, "A few days ago, Jiaci was seriously ill and stayed in Xiangyang City to accompany Jiaci on his last journey, so he didn't go south with Jiayan three days ago. ”

In fact, Xu Xiangtian didn't want to stay three days ago, but his father forced his youngest son Xu Xiangtian to stay and accompany his seriously ill mother on the last journey in order to take care of his reputation. The ancients attached great importance to filial piety, especially in the Song Dynasty, an era when science flourished.

Zhou Bo hurriedly complimented: "Xu Yanei's filial piety can be expressed, which makes the lower officials in awe." ”

Xu Xiangtian saw Zhou Bo's flattering look, and he became even more proud, he said: "Zhou Bo, I see that you have two extra war horses, it is better for you to escort me to Ezhou, and Jia Yan will definitely thank Zhou Bo at that time." ”

Zhou Bo heard that there was a bit of command in Xu Xiangtian's tone, although he was very unhappy. If it weren't for the help of himself. You bullshit Ya Nei was hacked to death by Qi Bing a long time ago. However, at this time, he felt the need to stammer this Yanai. After all, after leaving Xiangyang Mansion, his official position as a ready general no longer exists, and he has to find another way to make a living.

He pretended to smile and said: "The lower official is honored, please get on the horse." ”

Just as he was about to face Xu Xiangtian's horse, several other rich sons saw that there was still the last extra horse, and they begged again and again. Zhou Bo plans to bring another son of a rich family, and when he arrives in Ezhou, he will definitely be rewarded with a lot of money. But before he could speak, Xu Xiangtian pulled up a petite boy about fifteen years old from among these people.

"Zhou Bo, this is Qin Lang, the envoy of the Guanghua Army...... Son. He was separated from his family when the Guanghua Army fell, and he was with me since he avoided chaos in Xiangyang City. Let him ride the other horse. Xu Xiangtian almost said to Zhou Bo in the tone of commanding his subordinates.

The Guanghua Army and Junzhou were very close to Xiangyang City, and these two important towns were the first to fall when the Qi army invaded south.

In the Song Dynasty, the Jiedu envoys, like the observers, were all official positions with fictitious titles, and most of them were awarded by the imperial court to those highly qualified people. The Jiedu envoy is a member of the second rank, even though the family members of this Qin Yanei died in the war, but his father's old friends in the officialdom will still stand up and give thanks.

Zhou Bo was really happy, he actually saved the sons of two dignitaries with this move. He looked at the Yanai of the Jiedu envoy, but he always felt that this prince was a little strange. The other party's face is pale. The appearance is delicate and the figure is very delicate. And when he was grabbed by Xu Xiangtian, he was extremely shy, and even shrank back to break free.

This little yaman is too feminine, right?

He didn't think much about it, although the Qi soldiers had just finished robbing and killing here, after all, it was not suitable to stay in the land of right and wrong for a long time, and immediately said: "In this way, please ask the two Yanai to get on the horse quickly." But what should we do with these maids?"

Xu Xiangtian said without hesitation: "There are too many people, I'm afraid it will attract attention." Then he turned to the maids and announced in a loud voice, "Disperse y'all, life and death are the destiny of heaven." ”

The maids were left with no masters, and they began to cry again.

Although Zhou Bo felt that they were very pitiful, and there were many good-looking chicks among them, he still thought that Xu Xiangtian was right. It is impossible for him to take these people with him, not only will there be too many people to attract eyes, but it will also delay the speed of the trip. He sighed and turned around to let Xu Xiangtian and that Qin Yanei get on the horse.

After getting on the horse, Zhou Bo prepared to take them south along the official road. But Xu Xiangtian drove his horse slowly to the other side of the hill, glared at the woman who had been raped by Qi Bing with a cold face, and snorted: "You have lost your innocence, what face do you have to live in the world?"

When the three little ladies who were still naked heard this, they cried even more miserably. After a while, one of the women suddenly picked up a knife left by Qi Bing on the ground, and without frowning, she wiped it directly on the white jade neck. Seeing this, the other two women also committed suicide one after another.

Zhou Bo hates these feudal sciences very much, but he hates pedantic sons like Xu Xiangtian even more. If it weren't for these three little ladies who were thieves, those Qi soldiers would have hacked you to death long ago!" He sighed, but didn't say a word.

Zhou Bo took the lead, and Xu Xiangtian and Qin Yanei followed. They galloped along the official road for a while, and were lucky not to encounter any more puppet Qi soldiers on the next road. Xiangyang City has just fallen today, and presumably the puppet Qi army has gathered in the city to celebrate.

At this time, the sky had completely darkened, and the three of them had no torches, and they all relied on the perception of the war horse at night.

After running for about an hour, Xu Xiangtian behind him made the horse bump uncomfortably, and he shouted to Zhou Bo: "Zhou Bo, let's take a break." ”

Zhou Bo slowed down and said: "Yanei, bear with me, there are more than 200 miles to Ezhou, we must hurry at night, and we can rest during the day." Because on the way to Ezhou, you have to pass through the three cities of Zaoxian, Suizhou and Yingzhou, which have been occupied by the puppet Qi soldiers, and it will be very dangerous to travel during the day. ”

Jingnan Road is in Hubei in the 21st century, and several of Zhou Bo's classmates in college are from Hubei, so he still has some understanding of the geography here.

After listening to Zhou Bo's words, Xu Xiangtian had to grit his teeth and continue to drive forward, after all, before arriving in Ezhou, every day was a matter of life and death.

The three of them advanced for more than half an hour, and Xu Xiangtian finally couldn't hold on. In ancient times, people followed the sunrise and sunset, and now this time is late at night for them, and they are naturally tired and can't open their eyes. (To be continued.) )
