The screams behind him kept coming, Yan Zhu slowly turned from fear at the beginning to despair, he knew that running like this was definitely not a way, the war horse under him was exhausted because of the continuous running all night, and now he ran such a long distance at a rapid speed, it had reached the limit of what it could bear, and the speed gradually became slower.

Fortunately, it was not for nothing in Shema Town at the beginning, and under the influence of the environment, I also learned some skills, so in this almost desperate situation, a person's potential was completely stimulated.

Yan Zhu felt the approaching killing intent behind him, and intuitively predicted the distance between the other party and himself, and then without warning, he jumped high from his mount to the side and behind him, and at the same time, a cold light flashed in his hand, and a very sharp dagger had appeared on his right hand.

Hu Mengbing, who was chasing after him in the rear, didn't expect that Yan Guobing, who was like a lamb to be slaughtered in their eyes, would suddenly rise up and resist, and in terms of skill, it was not weak, and after reacting, he hurriedly used the scimitar in his hand to block, but at this time it was too late, the sharp dagger had been clearly inserted into his chest, and then his body was in a convulsion of severe pain, and was mercilessly pushed off the horse by the Yan Guobing who suddenly appeared behind him.

The blow succeeded, Yan Zhu instantly turned around with confidence and glanced at it, urging the war horse under his crotch to continue to gallop, but this entanglement had reduced the speed of the horse a lot, and the Hu Meng soldiers behind naturally quickly chased after him, and the sharp Hu Meng scimitar cut Yan Zhu mercilessly.

Although Yan Chai is good, it is only limited to the extent that he is good, and now he is on horseback, the Humeng people have basically grown up on horseback since they were born, in terms of riding, how can Yan Chai be their opponent, and it was only by surprise that he was able to get his hand.

Although he tried his best to dodge the incoming attack, he was still hit by a sharp slash on his back, just because he dodged in time, the wound was only some skin trauma, and it did not hurt the muscles and bones, but the bleeding back had completely soaked the clothes, and there were bursts of hot pain, so that he couldn't help but wail.

But this distraction, a not too deep pit in front of him became the last straw that overwhelmed all Yan Zhu's willpower, when the front hooves of the war horse stepped down, he only had time to curse a word of bad luck, even the man led the horse, fell hard, and lay straight on the ground for a long time, without any reaction, not that he didn't want to move, but except for the brain, all parts of the body lost consciousness.

In a trance, Yan Zhuyi only felt his body being lifted, and then fainted under the bumps of the war horse.

At dusk, a group of embarrassed people suddenly appeared on the bank of the vast Yangtze River, only to see these people wearing Yan Army uniforms, about 100 people, everyone's face was covered with dust and exhaustion, squatting by the river, holding the cold river water with both hands, gurgling a few sips, and then rubbing them with water on the dusty face, so that their spirit became a little more refreshing than before.

"Battalion commander, it's finally time to settle the water." Looking at the looming city in front of him, although it is not as tall and majestic as Liangcheng, but it does not lose its momentum, Zhang Erhu slowly breathed a sigh of relief, since the city of Xiema Town was broken, these days they are like savages wandering around the land of Dingzhou, if it were not for the military uniform, they really felt that they were already deserters abandoned by Yan Guo.

Liu Zhilan shook his somewhat sore legs, he didn't know what the feet had been ground into, anyway, from the edge of the boots, he could already see faint blood oozing out, but he didn't feel any pain,

I guess it's numb.

"I don't know what the defenders of this fixed water are like."

Yan Wuji shook his head a little helplessly, it seems that the attitude of the defenders of Liangcheng has cast a psychological shadow on Liu Zhilan, after all, the soldiers of the Yan Army have had a very bad history in his life experience, "Let's take a look, but I believe that there are still many good people in the Yan army." ”

Yan Wuji seemed to have something in his words, and of course Liu Zhilan also paid attention to it, and looked at each other and smiled, which made the atmosphere here a lot easier.

Everyone followed behind Yan Wuji, and walked for about half a stick of incense before they came to Dingshui City, although Dingshui at this time was also under martial law, but compared to Liangcheng, it was much easier, and there was no sense of urgency that soldiers were coming to the city.

Zhang Erhu came out to call the door according to the custom, but this time it was obviously beyond their expectations again, the soldiers guarding the city just glanced down, and led dozens of guards out of the city, after confirming the identity of the people, they were very respectfully let into the city, and sent people to inform Lord Yin of Dingshui Mansion and Liu Zhilong, the commander of the Dingshui Battalion, and Yan Wuji and others were temporarily arranged to rest in the grass hut on the side of the city, but there were still strict soldiers around them, obviously the city gate guards had not fully trusted them.

Just when everyone was resting and chatting, a team of people and horses came quickly from the city, so that the hot water that Yan Wuji had just held in his hand almost fell to the ground, not because the sound of the horse's hooves was very vibrating, but because the two people who were the leader Yan Wuji was very familiar, he didn't expect to meet here.

"Little Hongzi! Long wind! Without waiting for the two to approach, Yan Wuji ran out first, waving and shouting at them, and the soldiers in charge of martial law around him also put a spear against his chest at the same time as Yan Wuji moved, but was called back by Lord Ling Yin, who came quickly.

"Brother Wuji, it's really you!" Jin Hong was obviously also surprised and excited, and led Yan Changfeng, who was also full of surprise around him, to come up, holding one of his hands, a little excited and didn't know what to say.

Compared with the excitement of Jin Hong and Yan Changfeng, Yan Wuji's curiosity was better than excitement, "How did you come here, especially you Xiaohongzi, who also became Ling Yin of Dingshui City, what the hell is going on?" ”

Jin Hong opened his mouth to speak, but saw another team of people coming quickly from the city, led by a middle-aged man, slightly thin, with a decent mustache on his face.

After Liu Zhilong received the news, he immediately came on horseback, and seeing that Jinhong was already present, he just nodded, which was regarded as a greeting, and then glanced at the grass shed with his eyes, and finally settled on Yan Wuji, because the coat of arms on Yan Wuji's cuffs showed that the other party was also a battalion commander-level general, equal to him Liu Zhilong.

"Your Excellency is Yan Wuji, Yan Yingshuai?" Except for Qiu Xin, the first level of military commander and Yan Wuji's former direct leader, almost no one in the Northwest Army knew that Yan Wuji was Yan Hu's son and the son of King Liang, so there was no problem with Liu Zhilong calling him so.

When the other party was looking at Yan Wuji, he was also looking at the other party, the habit of checking the cuff coat of arms was basically the most direct way for Yan Jun to identify each other's identities, Yan Wuji smiled and said: "Liu Yingshuai, I haven't seen you for a long time, do you remember being here?" ”

Liu Zhilong nodded, although the person in front of him was gray and dirty, his clothes were dirty, but his personal temperament was very impressive, when this person was still with Qiu Xin, he had already paid attention to him, but because there was no need for that, so he never did

I have asked Brother Qiu what his surname is, but now I know that it was originally called Yan Wuji, but it is a good name, and the surname is Yan, I don't know if it has anything to do with the royal family?

"You are from Shema Town, but Xiema Town is in trouble, and Marshal Hao asked you to wait for help?" Liu Zhilong only knew that Qiu Xin had sacrificed his life for the country, but he didn't know anything about what happened a few days ago.

Yan Wuji did not hide it, and he fell Xiema Town, Hao Zifeng led the army to break through the siege until the whole process of the battle death roughly said, Rao is a determined person like Jinhong who was present, and he couldn't help but exclaim, after all, this kind of thing is indeed too appalling, and it is just a matter of losing Xiema Town, even a person at the level of a military commander like Hao Zifeng died at the hands of the Humeng people, this kind of fiasco has never been seen in the Yan Empire since the founding of the first emperor of Zhaolie.

"In this case, why don't you stay in Liangcheng and help Ge Cheng and Age defend the city, but blindly go south to this place, what is your intention? Afraid of war? Perhaps because the news came too suddenly and was particularly shocking, Liu Zhilong's emotions gradually got out of control, and a loud roar shouted out of his mouth, reprimanding the "remnants of the defeated army" in front of him.

Yan Wuji frowned slightly, he didn't expect Liu Zhilong to react like this, but if he thought about it carefully, there was indeed a possibility of this kind of misunderstanding, and he was about to explain, Zhang Erhu, who was standing behind him, stopped doing it, his eyes widened, and he immediately roared back, "Your Excellency must speak with real evidence, slandering me and others like this, don't you be afraid of chilling the hearts of the soldiers!" ”

Liu Zhilong glanced at Zhang Erhu sharply, feeling a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while, so he asked, "Who are you?" ”

Zhang Erhu clasped his hands to his chest, tilted his head to the side, and snorted: "Under Zhang Erhu, he was originally the commander of the cavalry battalion under the command of Marshal Hao, and now the commander of the Yan battalion has listened to the order and has been added to the position of deputy commander of the independent battalion. ”

The words are said so clearly, how can Liu Zhilong not think of the guy in front of him who looks quite arrogant, but in the entire Dingzhou army, he is a famous master, without him, it is because the other party is an extreme martial arts cultivator, and the extreme martial arts cultivators of the Northwest Legion, in total, are only in their early two hundreds.

In the internal competition and selection of the legion that year, when Zhang Erhu was showing off his might on stage, he Liu Zhilong could only watch it offstage.

Liu Zhilong's tone softened instantly, and he asked softly, "Then I don't know Yan Yingshuai and Zhang ...... Brother Erhu, why did you come here to Dingshui? ”

I didn't know what to call Zhang Erhu for a while, so I simply called a brother Erhu, anyway, the robes are mostly commensurate with brothers, which is not decent, nor does it show its vitality.

"It's another bad thing that is a long story and makes people angry." Saying that, Zhang Erhu roughly told the encounter of going south again, and after everyone listened, they all struck with their fists, and said hatefully: "How can such a person who has no sense of responsibility become a city defense general, if something happens in Liangcheng, even if this person dies, it will be difficult to atone for his sins!" ”

After a short exchange, Yan Wuji had already roughly explained the situation, and Jin Hong spoke up in time and called a pause for their endless discussion, because he saw that several of the soldiers in the grass hut had already fallen asleep on the spot, so he suggested that they rest for a night first and discuss it tomorrow.

Liu Zhilong obviously also saw this situation, and hesitated and asked, "Have you sent someone to deliver the letter?" ”

Yan Wuji nodded, "I already sent someone on the night of the breakout, so I think it should have been in Dingping." ”

"That's good, then please ask Jin Lingyin to arrange a place for the soldiers to rest, and I won't bother for now." Liu Zhilong turned on his horse again and ran in the direction he came. WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chats about life, and looks for confidants~
