Chapter Seventy-Three: The Hate in My Heart

Zhang Zhaohua jumped suddenly, grabbed the corner of the banner, dragged it behind the horse, she ran in one direction without stopping, and immediately attracted hundreds of horsemen to follow behind her, these people shouted "Kill, kill-", like a flood of tailing her.

The southern army thought that it was taking advantage of the victory to pursue, but Zhang Zhaohua rode his horse and galloped to one place, and suddenly stood - before the southern army could react at all, he suddenly saw a row of people appear on the hillside, and this group of people still held firecrackers in their hands.

The officers and men at the front saw clearly and howled, but it was too late, each platoon of gunmen had a gun in their hands, and at a distance of 50 to 100 paces, even if they rode fast, they basically had a 60 or 70 percent hit rate, and whether they hit a man or a horse, they were considered to have hit the target.

With the earth-shattering gunshots, the surging southern army fell off their horses one after another, and the ones behind knew that they were powerful, and immediately turned their horses back, but it was a pity that Li Yuan's pursuers were behind them, and they immediately rushed up, I don't know how many people were killed on the spot, and the southern army in the chaos has completely become headless flies, and the loss of the elite cavalry has reached thirty percent at once.

Zhang Zhaohua immediately saw it clearly on the hillside, and commanded the women's army to load the ammunition again, and ordered to shoot again, the empty plain was uncovered, and a fierce fire suddenly broke out on the hillside, accompanied by a loud salvo, and the southern army in front of him fell down a large piece in unison, and the neighing of the war horse was even louder, and it had already begun to bump the people on their backs.

Yuan Yu was also in the middle of the unconscious crowd, he screamed hoarsely, because his right arm was also shot, he wanted to control the situation, but the situation was no longer under his control. A large number of southern soldiers fell to the ground, horses' hooves trampled on the dead bodies, and the blood from the dead shot out again, already staining the mud above the plains.

At this time, Li Yuan ordered to shoot arrows again, and the Yan soldiers fired thousands of arrows at once, shooting desperately at the rising place of the smoke. Sharp arrows came like a torrential rain, and with the sound of "boom", I don't know how many people were shot through.

Seeing that the southern army was invincible, and the girl fled south, Zhang Zhaohua immediately blocked their way to escape - Li Yuan deliberately let the Yan army let go of an opening, driving the defeated southern army to keep moving towards the north, and the Yan army kept up unhurriedly, speeding up when it was far away, and slowing down when it was close, like driving sheep.

Zhang Zhaohua looked back at this land, Feng County is Liu Bang's birthplace, and Pei County is the place where he has made a contribution, this area is even Cao Cao's hometown, why can they take advantage of the situation to compete for the world, especially Liu Bang, who was defeated in a hundred battles, and finally became the emperor——

Zhang Zhaohua didn't know how many hours she had been bumping on the horse, her head was dizzy, looking at the sky, the clouds seemed to be the blood she had seen, and the flickering fires on the ground plane were far away like meteors.

"General, pursuers!" said a sharp-eyed sergeant, pointing behind him.

Zhang Zhaohua was shocked, and sure enough, when she saw the shadowy banner, she knew who was chasing them this time, it should be He Fu.

"Where is it?" Zhang Zhaohua didn't know what place this was, He Fu came much faster than she thought.

"It's almost Linqing!" Tan Guangda roared: "You can't let them catch up!"

Linqing and Texas are not far away, if He Fu's army intercepts them, then soon Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan will hear the news, and then the three parties will wrap them in dumplings, in that case, it is really impossible to escape.

Zhang Zhaohua had no other beliefs, so he could only ride his horse and flee, He Fu's army was pursuing him in pursuit, and the difference between the two sides was only four or five miles, and Zhang Zhaohua could even clearly hear the drum noise of the southern army behind him.

"Run!" Li Yuan roared: "Run across the Zhangwei River, we will be safe!"

Zhangwei River is a section of the Zhanghe River and the Weihe River, Li Yuan said well, there is a large sluice built in the Yuan Dynasty, the function of the sluice is to discharge water and keep sand, to prevent silting and dredging. Because at this time, although the Yellow River is seized into the sea, but there is a tendency to return to the Haihe River from time to time, and there are also diverts into the Zhanghe River, when the Yuan Dynasty built the canal, a large sluice was seen here, and the sluice gate was closed when the river was dredged, so that the sediment was deposited outside the sluice. The moment the sluice gate is opened, the sediment is washed away by the difference in water flow between the inside and outside of the sluice.

The width of the Zhangwei River is only about 100 meters, and a bridge is not big or small built on it, and the Yan army passes from the bridge, and in a hurry, there are seventeen or eighteen people who do not care to roll down with horses and horses, as long as they fall, there is no help, because although the river is not big, it is also six or seven meters deep, and now it is evening, and it is already impossible to see the distance.

When Zhang Zhaohua came to the bridge, he was suddenly terrified, and there was always a feeling that he would be squeezed into the river, and finally Pu Cha caught her, wrapped her on his horse, and led her across the bridge.

"Quick, quick—" Li Yuan held a fire by the river to illuminate it, and had already seen He Fu's front troops, he held the gate and roared at the men and horses that had fallen behind.

Zhang Zhaohua crossed the river, took a look through the firelight, and found that the last people who had not yet gone to the bridge were Xiaohong and Wu Niang, their war horses neighed, and they didn't know what was going on, but they refused to go on the bridge.

Xiaohong and Wu Niang could only get off the horse and help each other on the bridge. However, the pursuers behind him had arrived, grabbed Xiaohong from the collar, and threw her behind, as soon as Wu Niang turned her head, she suddenly screamed and was about to jump under the bridge. However, she was also caught.

Li Yuan lowered the floodgates, and the long-accumulated river water rushed down, and the pursuers on the bridge immediately turned their horses back, and a little later, they were swept into the river by the current, and soon the small bridge was submerged in the huge waves.

"Li Yuan," He Fu walked out of the herd of horses opposite, his eyes shining with cold stars: "You are so capable! You dare to go deep into Huaibei alone, and burn the boats, cars, grain and grass of the imperial court with a fire!"

Li Yuan was neither humble nor arrogant: "General He is falsely praised! The officials and soldiers of the imperial court often cut off my grain and grass, but now it is just a report and a report!"

"You kid with a backbone behind your ears," He Fu scolded: "Two domestic slaves, don't deserve to talk to me!"

Li Yuan was not angry when he was scolded, he only smiled: "The general is not confused, King Yan and Jinshang are a family, one surname!"

He Fu scolded a few more words, Zhang Zhaohua couldn't help laughing, but He Fu noticed her, and couldn't help sneering: "Forgive the old man for being dizzy, but the other side is Concubine Yan?"

Zhang Zhaohua generously admitted it, and He Fu scolded: "Originally, Xue Yan, the envoy of the Son of Heaven, returned to Beijing and said that King Yan boasted of his strength, and there were even women in the parade!

Zhang Zhaohua said: "General He, don't be ashamed to accuse me of being a demon woman, I thought that you, as an old minister of the previous dynasty, would come to the front of the battle, and face the soldiers of the two armies, you must have a high opinion." I don't expect to say such vulgar words! I think that now the country is in turmoil, the four directions are in turmoil, the world is poisonous, and the society is in danger? Let me tell you, it is not the sin of the king of Yan, even if the king of Yan does not have troops, someone will rise up, why, just because on this temple, the rotten wood is the official, among the palace and majesty, the birds and beasts eat the luch, so that the wolf-hearted dogs are raging in the court, and the servants and servants are ruling one after another. I know the life of General He - you were named General Pingqiang because you were out of the country to pacify the barbarians, and you didn't know much about the affairs of the court, so you helped the abuse, and you didn't know it!"

Zhang Zhaohua said happily, the Yan army clamored together, and the southern army looked at each other thoughtfully. And He Fu couldn't help but be furious when he saw this, and with a wave of his hand, the two sergeants brought Xiaohong and Wu Niang, who were tied up, to the front of the army.

With a single sword, the two heads fell into the rolling river.

Zhang Zhaohua fell from her horse and almost fainted, she pointed to He Fudao, who had collected the knife, and said: "You will fall into my hands sooner or later! I will definitely kill you, the first horseman, the old thief, with my own hands, to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
