Crossing the river from Jiangzhou can reach both Anqing Mansion under the rule of the Song people and Qizhou in the hands of the Yuan people dt.com. ”

Jumping off the boat, Li Shiyi greeted his subordinates who came to pick up the boat, and asked in a deep voice, these people are Liu Yu's personal soldiers, and they are all pretending to be fishermen at this moment.

"It's already close to Dushan Town, and you will enter Guangji County after passing through the town, where there is a large population and there are many Tartar defenders, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a suitable next opportunity."

"How many of them are there?"

Li Shiyi walked briskly along the river bank to the tying place, the other party walked earlier than him, and he had to race against time now.

There were eight people in the retinue, and a cavalry army of 100 people escorted them, led by the Han army with the surname Zhang, who reined in the line and never raised the banner, but the brothers followed all the way and came out of Zhang Hongfan's barracks with their own eyes. The Tartar was very vigilant, and the scouts scattered far away, and the brethren, lest they should alarm them, and did not dare to come too close, but hung at a distance. ”

"Where are the people who solved the second child?"

"I just contacted it, I just passed Guangji County, and I am rushing here."

Li Shiyi stepped on the mount a little bit, just a few steps, he always felt that something was wrong, under the river bank was a large area of rice fields, and the straight official road crossed by, but whether it was in the rice fields on the official road or on the river, there was no one figure, except for them.

"What about the people in Huangmei County?"

"was moved to Anqing Mansion by Zhang Shuai, and Tatar has always wanted to move people over, but it didn't come to fruition."

The answer of his subordinates made Li Shiyi slightly stunned, he didn't expect this county to be like Chizhou, he only then understood the meaning of Fang Cai's subordinates' words, if you want to start this area, it is the best choice, otherwise when the target enters Guangji County, if you want to do it, it will alarm the Tartar garrison, which is definitely unwilling of the owner.

"Straight lady thief, there is not a single bird feather, what a fucking evil!"

Li Shiyi was not the only one who noticed that something was wrong, and near Dushan Town, a group of more than 100 cavalry stopped at the entrance of the town, and a sergeant who had been sent to investigate returned after a while, reporting the dismal news that the town was still empty.

"After a long time, the children are a little tired, this horse also has to rest, if you take a break for a while, after this town is Guangji, but a matter of time, ten thousand households can rest assured, will not miss the trip."

In the face of Zhang Baihu's request, Xie Ruji was also a little helpless, set off early in the morning, ran down dozens of miles under the bright sun, and there was no post station on the way, people were sleepy and tired, and it was hard to get to a town or a ghost land, even if he was anxious, he knew that he couldn't force it, after all, he was a team surnamed Zhang, not his own people.

"It's up to you, a qiē row."

There is no way, who called this road his own choice, he thought that crossing the river was his own territory, but he never thought that this place was deserted, he knew where the army was defeated, and the reason for this is not difficult to speculate.

The months of being a prisoner seemed to have worn away the arrogance on his body, and Xie Ruji felt that he was no longer the commander of the army who was full of spirits, but had more of a temperament that was at ease with what he encountered.

Got the approval of Xie Ruji, Zhang Baihu immediately beckoned the whole army, just at the spacious place at the entrance of the town, with an abandoned tea stall as the center, everyone gathered in a big circle, the cavalry dismounted one after another, some took out water bladders to quench their thirst, some took out dry food to satisfy hunger, and some first took out a handful of fried soybeans from the bag and sent them to the mouth of the equally hungry horse.

"Daddy, let's get some in."

The eldest son stepped forward with a dry food and water bag to persuade, Xie Ruji, who didn't want to eat, couldn't stand the pleading eyes, and took two cakes and tore them indiscriminately, this kind of crude food is as tasteless as prison rice, and he has long been accustomed to ignoring the taste sensation, otherwise he would have starved to death.

Although nominally the Song and Yuan dynasties have negotiated peace, and this is the ruling range of the Yuan people, but because it is too close to Anqing Mansion, he does not dare to relax his vigilance at all, and the scout cavalry is far away in the direction of the enemy, and he does not return one after another until here.

I don't know why, Xie Ruji's heart is faintly unsteady, he doesn't know if he has been locked up for too long, and naturally forms a sense of insecurity.

This kind of uneasiness has been there since the departure from Lin'an Mansion, and it has not disappeared until he was released, and what makes people depressed is that this feeling cannot be shared with others, because he himself does not know why.

And at this time, the mutation is abrupt!

A war horse suddenly neighed and fell to the ground, causing everyone to stop what they were doing.

"Enemy attack!"

When the rest of the horses were shot one after another, and even the stupid people understood what was happening, Zhang Baihu suddenly drew his saber from his waist and roared, and the cavalrymen who had lost their horses quickly moved closer to each other.

Others tried to climb on horseback, but immediately came under concentrated attack, a cavalryman was shot by a crossbow arrow that passed through the chest, and fell down with a wail, seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Baihu pulled the riding bow behind his back, pulled out a thick arrow from the quiver, and then took out the fire fold from his bosom and lit the fuse on it, with a piercing whistle, the arrow rose into the air and flew into the sky with a whistling sound.

"No, it's a whistle arrow."

Li Shiyi had just arrived from the clairvoyant mirror, and after finding that the group had stopped, he immediately and decisively gave the order to attack, which was a little different from the previous plan, because the other party did not enter the town, so that the people who were ambushed inside were ineffective.

Therefore, the attack was launched from the direction of the town, and all the crossbow arrows were pointed at their mounts at the first time, because the target was very large, most of the war horses fell to the ground at this time, and in order to keep this cavalry, they had to be turned into foot soldiers first, which was Li Shiyi's simple thinking.

More than 200 men approached from several directions, because they had to hide their tracks and move forward lightly, they did not have many arrows with them, but fortunately the effect of this round of attacks was good, and the enemy lost their horses, and it was somewhat difficult to rush out.

"As far as you can see, how soon will the enemy army in Guangji arrive?"

"It's not good to say, the small ones think it's not very useful, they don't know what's going on, and they report it layer by layer, and it will take two or three hours at the earliest."

The analysis of his subordinates is similar to his estimate, the enemy is not like himself, with the black technology of long-distance communication, he will definitely react much slower.

After getting a definite answer, Li Shiyi's confidence increased greatly, and he began to arrange the offensive in an orderly manner, the other party did not produce major chaos under the surprise attack, it was an elite soldier at a glance, he didn't want his men to fight hard, anyway, in a short time, it should be the enemy who was anxious.

"Ahh

With a scream, a sergeant next to Zhang Baihu fell to the ground holding his chest, the blood stains in the big pool were shocking, and the swarthy crossbow arrow tore through the light armor on his body, revealing only a short arrow body, and the strength was a strong crossbow in the army, and this kind of crossbow "is the kind used by our army." ”

Xie Ruji said, Zhang Baihu nodded wordlessly, who would attack him with the crossbow arrows of the Han army?

Or is it pretended by the Song people, deliberately confusing the public?

There is no point in thinking about these things at the moment, the most important thing is how to break out of this dead place.

The other party's attack was not very fierce, it seemed that they were only satisfied with leaving themselves here, black-clothed and masked figures appeared in all directions, if it wasn't for the purpose of hiding their tracks, why did they do this, they knew that they had sent out arrows, why were they still unhurried?

One question after another kept coming, making Zhang Baihu a little overwhelmed.

"How many horses are available?"

Zhang Baihu split an arrow and asked without looking back.

"Fourteen, no, thirteen."

At the moment when his subordinates answered him, a war horse was shot again, and he could not hesitate any longer, the enemy did this obviously with only one purpose, leaving behind all their more than 100 men.

"Wanhu, things are a little bad, the subordinates want to protect you and Ling Gongzi rush over, as long as you get to Guangji County, the thieves will have nothing to do."

"One qiē, one qiē is subject to arrangement."

Xie Ruji also saw that something was wrong, the other party seemed to be confident, and was sure that the reinforcements would not come immediately, this place was all flat land, there was no cover at all, and the stalemate continued, and the final result could almost be guessed, so why not take a gamble?

If you want to get to Guangji County, you have to pass through the town in front, how many ambushes are there in it, far away, retreating?

Behind is the big river, without the response of the boat, can you swim to Jiangzhou?

Besides, it was already the territory of the Song people, and there was almost no need to think about it, so Xie Ruji agreed to Zhang Baihu's proposal.

"After a while, I will lead the people to rush up first, and then you will follow, and when you get on the horse, you will not care about anything, just bend down and run desperately. They didn't have many cavalry, and when they ran through the town, they had a little more life, and they never remembered that they couldn't stop for a moment, no matter what happened. ”

After speaking, Zhang Baihu climbed on the horse lying on the ground, waited until the flying arrows were a little sparse, and inserted an arrow into the back of the horse with his backhand.

In just a few dozen paces, the fast horse was just a few breaths, and when the ambush soldiers in the town wanted to jump down and intercept it, he had already rushed over.

Taking advantage of the fact that Zhang Baihu in the lead attracted most of the other party's attention, Xie Ruji took his son and followed with the remaining ten horsemen.

He clung to his horse, listening to the wind blowing in his ears, mixed with the sound of arrows breaking through the air, and the constant falling from his horse, he did not dare to look up, but struck his back with his whip desperately, and the faster he ran, the safer he became.

"There's no need to chase them, let them go, and the rest will be settled."

Li Shiyi put down the clairvoyant mirror and said into the microphone, this is exactly the result he wants, I don't know who those people who escaped.

Now that the remaining enemies are leaderless, their combat power will be greatly reduced, and everything they should do has been done, and it is not worth paying a few more lives for this, he knows this very well.

Passing through Dushan Town, walking along the official road, entering Guangji County in less than two miles, Xie Ruji and others who rushed out desperately did not dare to stay, and were still galloping on horses.

It wasn't until the horse couldn't bear it anymore and slowed down that he realized that only five people had survived, and that his eldest son was missing.

"Let's go, go to the county seat to move troops."

Whether he was dead or captured, Xie Ruji wanted to understand, he gritted his teeth fiercely, suppressed the pain of losing his beloved son, and was still in danger at the moment, only by saving his life could he save his son or avenge him.

"Looks like one of our people."

The county town showed an outline in the distance, the chasing soldiers behind him had long been gone, and Zhang Baihu and the others who had survived the catastrophe had just relaxed slightly, and found that there was a group of cavalry in front of them, dressed like themselves in the Han army, but at the thought of killing those crossbow arrows under his men, Zhang Baihu couldn't help but be secretly vigilant, and pulled the saber in his hand.

"Daddy, it's too late for the baby."

The first thousand households jumped off the horse from a distance, and Xie Ruji was pleasantly surprised to find that the person who came turned out to be the second son Xie Chenggui, whom he had not met for a long time.

Zhang Baihu and the others saw that they were acquaintances, they all let go of their hearts, and did not forget to say hello to the visitors with a smile while putting the knife into the sheath.

"Good boy, quick, save your brother, him"

Helping Xie Chenggui up, Xie Ruji patted him on the shoulder excitedly and said, but before he finished speaking, he found that there was something else in this son's eyes, it was the eyes of a wild beast before it pounced on its prey, with a hint of madness in the blood red, his words stopped abruptly, and a sudden huge pain rose from his ribs.

"Daddy, your son is not filial, you go all the way, solve the family, and let your son carry it forward in the future."

After saying it softly in his ear, Xie Chenggui's tears burst out, but the strength in his hand gradually strengthened, until the eyes of the kiss dimmed little by little, and then he raised his head to the sky and shouted.

"Do it, don't leave one!"
