Not to mention that the county army was no longer able to fight, even Liu Xiu was exhausted at this time. But how could the barbarians give them a chance to breathe, and two barbarians rushed up the fastest, and in the blink of an eye they were close to everyone.

Seeing that the other party slashed at him, a wounded county soldier hurriedly dodged to the side, but he was still half a step slower, and was slashed in the shoulder by the other party.

With this knife, the entire blade of the knife was not in his shoulder.

The county soldier screamed and fell down, and the county soldier next to him roared like crazy, and stabbed the brute with his spear, stabbing the other party to the heart, and at the same time, he himself was stabbed by another brute.

The man stepped forward and slammed his shoulder into the brute's body, and the sword in his hand also stabbed into the opponent's chest.

Two brutes fell to the ground, and similarly, two fell on the county side.

Looking up again, there were more brute soldiers rushing towards him, hanging poisonous needles from the strong wind, whizzing in the air. In the blink of an eye, two county soldiers were stabbed with poisonous needles and fell to the ground.

This battle can't be fought! The man of the county army yelled: "Run!" ”

People had no choice but to rush forward with all their might, including Liu Xiu. Even as they run, they can still hear the swishing sound of poisonous needles, and they can even feel the feathers of the needle's tail running at their sides.

Liu Xiu and the others were already exhausted, but at the moment of life and death, people stimulated the potential in their bodies and ran in the forest with wind in their ears.

I don't know how long I ran, but there were no footsteps behind me and no shouts from the barbarians, and everyone couldn't hold on any longer, and they lay down on the ground one after another, without the strength to speak again, only wheezing.

After resting for a while, Liu Xiu turned his head and saw that there were originally seven or eight county soldiers, but now there were only three people left. The county soldier raised his head tremblingly, looked around, and asked with a breath, "Where have we run to?" ”

Liu Xiu didn't know where this place was, he couldn't tell the difference between east and west, north and south for a long time, and the only thing he could be sure of now was that this place was far away from the main battlefield where the two sides were fighting.

After resting for a while, Liu Xiu slowly stood up from the ground with his sword, and said, "We can't stay here for a long time, the brute soldiers may chase after us at any time!" ”

The three county soldiers looked at each other, and none of them spoke, but they got up one after another. What Liu Xiu said was the truth, although they temporarily got rid of the pursuers, it did not mean that their situation was safe.

Because there were no pursuers behind them for the time being, they didn't have to continue running, and then again, now they couldn't run if they wanted to. The county soldier asked, "Brother, what's your name?" ”

"Liu Xiu."

"Xiangyang people?"

"Nanyang Caiyang people."

"Oh! My name is Ma Yan, their names are Yuan Fu and Yuan Lu, and we are both from Xixiang, Hanzhong. ”

Liu Xiu nodded and didn't say anything, he really didn't have the strength to speak anymore now.

When they had walked for more than two hours, the woods began to thinn, and everyone's hearts moved, as if they had all seen the light of day.

They involuntarily quickened their pace, and when Liu Xiu and the four of them walked out of the mountains and forests, raised their eyes and looked forward, the little flame of hope that had just ignited in their hearts was instantly extinguished.

It turned out that they did not go out of Qianyou Mountain, on the contrary, they walked into the depths of Qianyou Mountain.

Standing in front of them, blocking their path, was a towering mountain, and as far as they could see, it was all cliffs, not to mention that there were no slopes, not even a place to climb.

The front is a dead end, but let them turn back, and the back are all barbarians, which is equivalent to sending them to death, how can this be good?

Ma Yan rolled his eyes and said, "Let's go along the mountain roots, we will definitely find the exit!" ”

Liu Xiu, Yuan Fu, and Yuan Lu naturally had no way of judging whether what he said was right or not, but now they can only be dead horses as live horse doctors.

Ma Yan walked in front, and Liu Xiu followed behind, moving all the way along the foot of the mountain.

They walked for more than an hour, and at this time the sky was already white, and suddenly, Ma Yan, who was opening the road in front, stopped, and said with surprise and joy: "There is an exit ahead!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Xiu, Yuan Fu, and Yuan Lu were all in high spirits, and followed Ma Yan to speed up their pace.

Sure enough, they walked forward for more than ten meters, and they really saw a small canyon.

This canyon is more than two meters wide, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, in the shape of a 'human', as if someone has cut a big gap in the mountain wall, which makes people have to sigh at the miracle of nature's creation.

Ma Yan was about to walk into the canyon, Liu Xiu walked a few steps quickly, caught up with him, grabbed Ma Yan's sleeve, and whispered: "Brother Ma, we don't know the situation in the canyon, don't enter rashly!" ”

He didn't want to go in rashly, but the mountains were full of brutes, and when it was dark, they could hide their tracks, but now that it was getting dark, they had nowhere to hide, no place to hide.

Ma Yan took a deep breath and said, "I can't care so much, let's take a step and see a step!" ”

As he spoke, he took a deep breath, clenched the hilt of his sword, and walked step by step towards the canyon.

The canyon was narrow and long, and after walking out of twenty or thirty meters, they finally walked out of the canyon, and when they looked outside, Liu Xiu, Ma Yan, Yuan Fu, and Yuan Lu all widened their eyes.

At the end of the canyon was a huge valley, surrounded by mountains, which was nothing, and the terrible thing was that the canyon was full of tents. Some tents were made of animal skins, while others were made of many pieces of cloth.

This is obviously not the camp of the Han people, the only possibility is that this is the camp of the barbarians, and the barbarian army that was originally hidden in Qianyou Mountain actually lived in this valley, and they actually ran to the lair of the barbarian army in a panic!

The four of them were staring at all this in front of them in amazement, and suddenly, they heard a whoosh, and a sharp arrow pierced the sky and hit Yuan Lu's throat.

Yuan Lu leaned back, took two steps back, opened his mouth, and seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't spit out a word, and all he spit out was blood.

He fell straight on his back.

Liu Xiu, Ma Yan, and Yuan Fu, who were standing beside him, were shocked, and Yuan Fu exclaimed: "The third child! ”

He pounced on Yuan Lu, and then looked at Yuan Lu, his neck was pierced by arrows, his round eyes were covered with a layer of dead ashes, and there was still a little breath.

Liu Xiu and Ma Yan looked to the side, only to see a lot of barbarian women rushing out between the camp tents on the side, they were wearing animal skins covering their breasts on their upper bodies, and animal skin skirts on their lower bodies, barefoot, and no shoes.

Like the brutes, their faces were painted with color.

Ma Yan came back to his senses, roared angrily, and ran towards the barbarian women with his sword. Seeing this, Liu Xiu frowned secretly, this is obviously the lair of the barbarian army, and fighting the barbarians here is tantamount to asking for his own death.

However, at this time, it was too late to call back Ma Yan, and in desperation, Liu Xiu could only chase after him. Several barbarian women on the opposite side twisted their bows and arrows one after another, and fired a volley at Liu Xiu and Ma Yan.

Liu Xiu dodged two arrows sideways with dexterity, while Ma Yan swung his sword to block two arrows.

Rushing to the front of these barbarian women, Liu Xiu made a false move from above, kicked out from below, hit a barbarian woman in the stomach, and kicked the other party back again and again.

A barbarian woman shouted, threw away the bow and arrow in her hand, drew her scimitar, and slashed at Liu Xiu's head with all her might.

Liu Xiu's horizontal sword parried, and with a crisp sound, the scimitar was blocked by the iron sword, Liu Xiu's body shook, and slid past the opponent's side, and even with it, the sword blade also cut a hole in the lower abdomen of the barbarian woman.

On the battlefield where life and death are at stake, there is no distinction between men and women, only friend or foe. Although he was facing a barbarian woman, Liu Xiu was not polite at all, and at this moment, he did not dare to be polite.

The barbarian woman who was kicked on the ground by him just now struggled to stand up, Liu Xiu stepped forward and swept out with a kick, hitting the side of the opponent's head, the barbarian woman snorted, fell to the ground, and fainted.

Liu Xiu had just dealt with the two barbarian women when he heard an exclamation from Ma Yan's side. Ma Yan stabbed an enemy to death with a sword, but he was also stabbed in the back, and there was an extra bloody wound more than half a foot long.

Seeing this, Liu Xiu rushed straight over, and just as the barbarian woman was about to cut Ma Yan's second sword, Liu Xiu approached the barbarian woman like a gust of wind, took the first step, and pierced her throat with a sword.

The four barbarian women, all fell to the ground. Liu Xiu sighed, stretched out his hand to support the crumbling Ma Yan, and asked, "How are you?" ”

Ma Yan's face was pale, his body was trembling with pain, and before he could speak, suddenly, he heard a long horn sound in the valley, and then countless barbarians ran out of the tent.

These barbarians who were left in the camp were either women, or the old, weak, sick and disabled, but even so, they couldn't stand the large number of them, and as far as the eye could see, there were hundreds of barbarians running towards Liu Xiu and Ma Yan.

Can't beat! It's not going to be able to fight at all! Liu Xiu took Ma Yan's arm and said urgently: "Hurry up!" ”

At this time, Ma Yan didn't dare to stay longer, he endured the pain in his back, turned around and ran back, and when he passed by Yuan Fu's side, Ma Yan grabbed his shoulder and shouted: "Don't cry, go quickly!" ”

Yuan Lu was killed, Yuan Fu cried so much that his eyes were scarlet, he was pulled by Ma Yan, and staggered to follow him. But now they want to exit the valley the same way they came, and they have no chance.

When I arrived at the canyon, I raised my eyes to look outside, and saw dozens of brute soldiers rushing in along the entrance of the canyon, and as for how many brute soldiers were outside the canyon, it was no longer clear.

Oops! Now Liu Xiu, Ma Yan, and Yuan Fu have all realized what it means to be called a turtle in an urn.

They knew very well what would happen if they fell into the hands of the barbarians. The retreat was cut off, and there was no hope of escaping from the valley, Yuan Fu turned around and saw a barbarian woman pulling down her scimitar and cutting off the head of Yuan Lu's corpse.

Yuan Fu couldn't hold back any longer, roared, and rushed towards the other party with a spear. He rushed up quickly, fell faster, and was cut to the ground by a large group of barbarian women, and the knives fell together, chopping Yuan Fu into meat paste on the spot.

Liu Xiu and Ma Yan couldn't come forward to rescue, if they passed, they would only end up with Yuan Fu. The two of them gave up walking through the canyon and subconsciously ran north, because there were almost no barbarian tents to be seen here.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Arrows and blow needles swept by the two of them from time to time, Liu Xiu and Ma Yan didn't dare to look back, they used all their strength and rushed forward with all their might.
