Li Zuxin's plan was successful.

The collapse of more than 10,000 soldiers of the Southern Army caught the Northern Tang Army a little off guard. The situation on the battlefield is completely chaotic, except that one side is fleeing and the other side is chasing and killing.

The people who fled did not form an organization, but became a plate of scattered sand, and the people who pursued and killed them slowly broke away one team after another, and divided into small teams of basic cadres and branches, and surrounded and intercepted them everywhere.

In such a situation, the two Southern Army units that were still forming a breakthrough naturally attracted the attention of the Northern Tang Army.

Li Dang led a group of men to closely pursue the troops that broke through to the east under the banner of the Zhenzhong Army. Liang Han led another cavalry to pursue the other southern army that broke through to the west.

Neither Shi Zhuang nor Li Mi expected that Xiang Zhen, who they wanted to catch the most, was wearing the clothes of ordinary soldiers at this moment, and under the close protection of seven or eight close guards, he slipped all the way out on the chaotic battlefield.

It rained so much that such a small team didn't attract much attention. When encountering a large Tang army, this small army will immediately dodge, and for a small number of Tang troops, this small army will directly kill them.

When he saw the flowing water of the Yanzi River, Xiang Zhen cried with joy.

At this time, it was almost noon, the rain gradually lightened, and the water level of the Yanzi River also soared. The roaring and turbulent river, at this moment, has become a lifesaver for Xiang Zhen.

Of the eight personal guards with high martial arts, only three were left at the moment.

Regardless of the exhaustion of the half-day fight, the three guards quickly cut down a few trees with the thickness of a bowl, and originally wanted to set up a simple raft, but behind them, there was a faint sound of horses' hooves.

Neither of them dared to take the slightest risk, but they looked at each other, gritted their teeth, pushed the tree into the river, untied their belts, tied themselves to the trunk, and then waded towards the deep water step by step.

By the time they were empty, the river had already carried them downstream.

There are a lot of debris in the river, and a few trees rise and fall with the waves, and it is difficult to find them, and there are still a few people hiding on them.

The river carried them out of the battlefield, but at the same time, it also led them to unknown risks, and no one knew what would happen to them in the next moment.

Li Zuxin was covered in blood, and he was half-crouched on his horse and ran forward. Around him, there were less than a hundred horsemen surrounding him, and beside him, there was a person who was dressed and looked like Xiang Zhen.

Li Zuxin led the army that did not carry the banner to the real lineage, fighting in the middle of the night, and with Li Zuxin rushing out, there were only more than 100 horsemen.

And behind them, Liang Han was in hot pursuit.

The war horse's hooves were weak, and he fell to the ground, and Li Zuxin on the horse was also thrown out, and the war horse raised his head in sorrow, trying to stand up, but he struggled for a long time, but it was all in vain.

More than 100 cavalrymen stopped their horses one after another, and several people turned over and dismounted and helped Li Zuxin up. Only then did I find out that Li Zuxin didn't know how many wounds there were on his body. The blood had already stopped flowing at this time, and the wound rolled back, revealing white flesh buds.

"I can't run," Li Zuxin sat in the mud and waved his hand: "If you can still run, run quickly!" Run one by one! ”

More than 100 knights stood silently, but none of them left.

Li Zuxin smiled bitterly and stopped talking.

This army has been following Xiang Zhen for many years, and it was completely modeled after the Northern Tang Army. If the entire southern army was established according to this model, then it was not without the power to compete with the Northern Tang army. It's a pity that it was the team of more than 10,000 people who almost exhausted all of Xiang Zhen's energy.

The high salaries and benefits, generous disability and death pensions, and special care for family members have made this unit a real desperate force.

But this is piled up with money.

In the South, except for such a special case, it is simply impossible to build such a project on a large scale. There may be such a force around the envoys and observers, but the number is too small, and the maximum number is only a few thousand.

And Li Ze's Northern Tang, such an army numbered hundreds of thousands.

Li Zuxin sighed.

There was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in the distance, Li Zuxin raised his head reluctantly, and a team of cavalry appeared in his field of vision, which was coming at a gallop, the first person, it was in this battle that he fought with many times, and Liang Han, the general of the Northern Tang Dynasty who had been left with many scars by his opponent.

More than 100 soldiers of the Southern Army did not get on their horses, and like Li Zuxin, their war horses had long run out of strength, and they would die faster if they got on their horses and fought with their opponents. They were densely clustered together, surrounding Li Zuxin in the center.

Liang Han stopped dozens of steps away from them, looking at the defeated remnants of the army that had chased him for dozens of miles, and searched up and down with his eyes.

Li Zuxin let out a long laugh, but he stood up hard, stretched out his hand and pulled a person next to him over, and laughed: "General Liang, are you looking for him?" ”

The man's helmet was removed, and under the mask, a face somewhat similar to Xiang Zhen appeared in front of Liang Han.

Xibei goods!

Liang Han was furious, knowing that he was being shabu by someone else this time. When fighting with the opponent, more than 2,000 cavalry kept this man in the middle, and even if in the end they only had one or two hundred left, this man was still in the middle of them.

This made Liang Han convinced that the person they protected was Xiang Zhen.

The team that Li dared to chase and fled under the bright banner of Xiang Zhen, although it was also elite enough, it would definitely not include Xiang Zhen. For this, Liang Han has full experience, and when fighting the Khitans above the desert, they often use this trick.

Just when I thought I was going to be caught alive, I found out that I was the one who was deceived, and I was really annoyed.

"Li Zuxin, you were also a fucking Tang officer before, and it was only five or six years since you left Zuo Xiaowei, did you die so desperately for the Xiang clan? You know better than those southerners about the Northland, right? Liang Han said angrily.

Li Zuxin smiled and said: "General Liang is right, the north is indeed better than the south, at least ordinary people live better than the southerners." But what does this have to do with me? ”

"When I was in Zuo Xiaowei, I was just a small captain officer, and later in the south, General Meng valued it, promoted all the way, and became a third-grade general, and I had the opportunity to confront a character like General Liang, if I was in Zuo Xiaowei, I am afraid that I would have retired long ago and become a farmer, right?"

Looking at Li Zuxin, Liang Han shook his head and said: "Then at least you will live, you will marry a wife, there are dozens or hundreds of acres of land, working at sunrise and resting at sunset." ”

"I also want to make a contribution, I also want to be famous, and I want to go down in history!" Li Zuxin said lightly: "General Liang, those Zuo Xiaowei officers and soldiers who went to the south with me back then all thought so. ”

Liang Han was furious, and his spear stabbed and buzzed in the air.

"Now, you're all pretty much dead, aren't you?"

"Willing to gamble and lose!" Li Zuxin said. "Death is death, what's the big deal. Even if I die at this time, my name will be left in the history books in the future. On a certain day, a certain month and a certain day, the two armies fought in Guangshui, and the Northern Tang army won a great victory, and it was impossible to kill the enemy, and then the name of the general who was killed on the spot will be listed below with a high probability, right? Hahaha, General Liang, think that after many years, you will remember me, because you were deceived so badly? Isn't it? ”

Liang Han's face turned red, and the spear was raised: "Do you want to die?" ”

"Not bad!" Li Zuxin lifted the knife, but it rested on his neck: "General Liang, Li made your image a little deeper." ”

In the exclamation of everyone, Li Zuxin strangled hard, blood splattered, pouring the people around him all over his body, and his body immediately collapsed.

"Kill!"

"Avenge the General!"

More than 100 southern sergeants rushed towards Liang Han and the others with red eyes and guns.

Liang Han didn't move, but the cavalry behind him surged out, slashing and stabbing with swords, but in a few moments, the ground was already full of corpses.

Slowly riding the horse to Li Zuxin's corpse, Liang Han looked down at the corpse that was no longer alive and dead, shook his head and said: "Dog, what you said is right, you have indeed made Lao Tzu have a deep impression of you." was a good man in the Tang Dynasty, but he died like this. Qin Zhao Jin Shiren, you are not shallow in harming people! ”

Back then, if it weren't for Qin Zhao and Jin Shiren, how could someone like Li Zuxin go to the south? These people are dead, but Qin Zhao is still alive and well in Wuyi, and Jin Shiren crossed the ocean and went to the United States as Li Xiang said.

"Xiang Zhen ran away!" Shi Zhuang looked at Li Mi and spread his hands, "The battlefield has been completely cleaned, and no corpse of this guy has been found. ”

"Let's go, let's go." Li Mi was unimpressed: "This army is the strongest force in the Southern Alliance, and being completely annihilated by us in one fell swoop this time is a major irreparable loss for the Southern Alliance." The next time you run into him, just catch him again. ”

"Xiang Xun has been hit hard by this, his strength has been greatly damaged, and his right to speak in the Southern Alliance has been greatly reduced, and in the future, they will have more dog-eat-dog times!" Shi Zhuang smiled: "But there is still bad news for you." ”

Li Mi frowned, "What is it?" ”

"Just now the internal guard sent information that Tian Guofeng retreated from Xiangyang, and Xiangyang fell into the hands of Cao Bin." Shi Zhuang said.
