The breakthrough of Liu Xiu and others was not smooth, the more they rushed out, the more troops the enemy had, and gradually, there were fewer and fewer people on Liu Xiu's side, and the pressure on them became greater and greater.

Just when people were about to give up the breakout and want to turn back, a large group of Han troops suddenly entered the enemy army and quickly gathered on Liu Xiu's side.

Everyone raised their eyes and saw that it was Long Yuan, Long Zhun, and Long Xiao who were the leaders, and behind them, they were also followed by a large number of Yulin Army and Tiger Ben Army.

Seeing Long Yuan and the others at this time was tantamount to seeing a savior, and the desperate crowd had ecstasy on their faces.

Long Yuan took the lead in coming to Liu Xiu's approach, and arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty! ”

Liu Xiu nodded, raised his eyes to look behind Long Yuan, only saw Long Zhun and Long Xiao, and asked, "What about Xuying?" ”

"Your Majesty, we have broken up, and it is estimated that Xuying, Xuting, and Xufei are also breaking through."

Liu Xiu raised his hand and pointed in the direction outside the Xiying, and said urgently: "Release the arrow!" ”

Long Yuan immediately responded, took a crossbow machine from a tiger soldier, then wrapped a strip of cloth around the arrow of the crossbow arrow, lit it, and after that, he raised the crossbow machine and shot an arrow in the direction of Xiying.

The flaming bolts flew into the air, making them unusually striking in the air. The crossbow arrows flew westward like meteors, which was to tell the Han soldiers that they were going to break through to the west.

After releasing the arrows, Long Yuan returned the crossbow machine to the Tiger Ben soldiers, and then he took the lead in breaking through with his sword.

At present, the place with the largest number of enemy troops is still the eastern, southern, and northern battalions, and relatively speaking, the number of enemy troops on the western side is the smallest.

Liu Xiu, Long Yuan and others rushed out with all their strength with the Yulin Army and the Tiger Ben Army, although the other party's soldiers were desperately encircled, but in the end they still failed to block it. Liu Xiu and his entourage fought a bloody road, and finally succeeded in breaking out of the camp. The Kui Huan army did not give up, a large number of soldiers chased out, Liu Xiu and others fought and retreated, during which they also gathered their own soldiers who broke through from time to time, the two sides were running and fighting, fighting and running, unconsciously, the sky was already dark, until

At this time, the Kui Huan army stopped pursuing.

Liu Xiu and the others ran a long distance again, and Liu Xiucai ordered to rest, and by the way, he counted the number of people on his side.

Whether it was an ordinary soldier or a general like Long Yuan, they were all exhausted at this time, and people were lying on the ground, not wanting to move.

Originally, there were 10,000 people in the Han army camp, but now the soldiers who ran out with Liu Xiu were added up to the bottom, and there were less than 1,000 people, more than 9,000 elites, and they were all wiped out in this half night.

Of course, it doesn't mean that all the more than 9,000 soldiers were killed or captured by the enemy, and a considerable number of them also broke through, but they and Liu Xiu ran away, and it is unlikely that they will be in contact in a short time.

Liu Xiu sat on the ground, tore off the sweat towel wrapped around his neck, and wiped his face vigorously. I wiped my face twice, put down the sweat towel and saw that the sweat towel was dyed red. He threw the sweat towel aside, today's battle was too bad, not only was it a mess, but until now, he didn't understand where the enemy army came from, why it suddenly appeared on the opening mountain, how it suddenly came from

The back of your own camp has come to kill. These enemy troops can't run from Sanfu, right?

"Your Majesty, drink some water!" Luo You walked up to Liu Xiu and handed him a water bladder. Liu Xiu wanted to refuse, but seeing Luo You's expectation, he still took the water bladder, pulled out the lid, and poured a big mouthful of water.

With a mouthful of water, Liu Xiu felt that her throat and eyes were about to catch fire and finally felt a lot more comfortable.

He looked around, Zhang Kun was lying not far from him, as if he had just been fished out of the water, his face was pale and motionless, but beads of sweat kept dripping down his head.

The rest of the soldiers, not much stronger than Zhang Kun, lay on the ground one by one, as if they had to exert all their strength to even breathe, and their throats and eyes were like pulled bellows, making a hissing sound.

At this time, Lai Xiu limped to Liu Xiu's approach, and before Lai Xiu could speak, Liu Xiu raised his head to him, his eyes fell on his lap, and asked, "Doctor Lai is injured?" ”

Lai Xi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Weichen just grinds a few blisters on his feet, and it doesn't get in the way." As he spoke, he handed Liu Xiu a roll of linen cloth in his hand and said, "Your Majesty, please look!" ”

Liu Xiu took the roll of linen cloth and shook him away, a big piece, earthy yellow, he looked at Lai Shi in puzzlement, and asked, "Doctor Lai, let me see what it does?" ”

Laishu took the sackcloth back, draped it over himself, and then fell directly to the ground.

Seeing this, the soldiers around who were already tired and collapsed all sat up, stretched their necks one by one, and looked at Lai Shi in confusion, not knowing what kind of nerves this Taizhong doctor suddenly had.

Liu Xiu also looked puzzled. Lai Xi looked around, looked at Liu Xiu again, and then scratched his head, touched the edge of the linen, and pulled it up, and his whole body was covered under this linen.

Seeing this, Liu Xiu couldn't help but squint his eyes, and the person also stood up, he first took two steps forward, then retreated again and again, exited twenty meters away, and looked at it again, where else can I find it at the scene?

The earthy yellow linen cloth covered by his body was completely integrated with the surrounding yellow earth, and if he didn't get closer, if he didn't look closely, he wouldn't find that this bulging little dirt bag was actually a person.

Clever! What a clever disguise! Liu Xiu stepped forward quickly, grabbed the linen cloth that was covering his body, then bent down, helped Lai Xiu up, and asked excitedly: "Doctor Lai, how did you come up with such a disguise?" Lai Xi smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, this is not what Weichen thought of, this piece of linen is not Weichen's, but Weichen touched it from the corpse of the enemy." "Lai She, a civil official, can't fight, and won't fight with others, and fight with others

When he broke through the battle, he would only hide in the crowd, and when he saw the corpses of his own soldiers, he would pull down his military badges, and when he saw the corpses of enemy soldiers, he would also touch them and look for them to see if there was anything usable. As a result, he found that most of the enemy troops carried such a piece of linen, and he didn't expect to understand what this linen cloth was for, but he heard Liu Xiu questioning why the enemy army could hide on the mountain at the beginning, and he didn't notice it at all

Jue, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he thought of the use of this piece of linen, which was disguise. Disguise people as loess and thousands of soldiers and horses as loess slopes.

Liu Xiu looked down at the jute cloth in his hand and asked, "Every enemy soldier has this?" "Most of the enemy troops have it, some don't, and they may have been lost when they stole the camp!"

He nodded, subconsciously grabbed the sackcloth, and said quietly: "The enemy army is hiding on the mountain at the beginning through this, but the soldiers of our army are unaware. ”

The beginning of the mountain is a loess mountain with no grass, and as far as the eye can see, the mountain range is continuous, but it is a piece of yellow protrusion.

This kind of barren mountain with no grass and trees can't hide from people at all, even if only one person is hiding, you can see it from a long distance.

And this time, tens of thousands of enemy troops are hiding in the mountains, and they are unaware of it, isn't this abnormal? Now, the hemp cloth found in Laishu can explain why his soldiers did not find the enemy troops on the mountain.

Use this kind of clay jute cloth to cover the body, so that people are completely integrated with the loess mountain, even if they are close, but do not step on them, it is difficult for people to find their clues.

Liu Xiu shook the piece of linen in his hand, and said in a condensed voice: "Kui Huan is really smart, he actually thought of such a trick!" ”

Lai Shu lowered his head and did not answer, even if he figured out the reason for the sudden appearance of the Kui Huan army, it was too late, his own camp had been captured by the enemy, his own soldiers were dead, and those who fled were fleeing, and there were less than a thousand people at the moment.

Long Yuan asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, what should we do next?" "Their retreat has been cut off by the enemy, and the enemy may pursue them at any time, and this is not a place to stay for long.

Liu Xiu thought for a while and said, "Go to Longguan and find Ziwei to meet." ”

Now, Liu Xiu has no place to choose. Although Jiequan and Qingshui were captured by their own side, and the soldiers and horses left behind in the second city were only 5,000 soldiers, and now Liu Xiu and his party are not very safe whether they go to Jiequan or Qingshui.

As for Longcheng, there are 60,000 enemy troops there, and this remnant of your own army will be defeated, isn't it equivalent to hitting the tip of the knife?

There are still a large number of enemy troops in Qin Pavilion, and there are more than 30 camps set up by the enemy army.

After thinking about it, the only place Liu Xiu could think of was Longguan. Relatively speaking, the terrain of Longguan is precipitous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the enemy troops stationed in Longguan are small.

Although it was difficult for Fu Junbu to forcibly attack Longguan, the soldiers and horses in Longguan did not dare to take the initiative to attack. Liu Xiu led his troops and went south to Longguan. Along the way, Liu Xiubu encountered many scattered soldiers of his own side, the largest of which was the soldiers and horses led by Xuying, Xuting, and Xufei, among which there were more than 300 cavalry of the Yulin Army and a tiger

There are more than 500 people in the army, more than 800 soldiers of the Beijing Division, and 100 people from Ben Minglang, all together, more than 1,000 and less than 2,000 people.

After meeting with Xu Ying and others, whether it was Liu Xiu or the soldiers below, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Now there are more than 3,000 people on our side, and they finally have the ability to protect themselves initially.

Even so, this battle was fought badly enough, 10,000 soldiers, and now there are only about 3,000 left, which can be said to be a loss of most of them.

On the way to Longguan, it was peaceful, and the Han army did not encounter ambushes and pursuers again. More than 3,000 people arrived in Longguan smoothly and converged with Fu Junbu outside Longguan.

After listening to Liu Xiu's battle report, Fu Jun was also taken aback, and said in surprise: "The enemy army actually ambushed twenty or thirty thousand people in Kaitou Mountain, under the nose of our army?" "It's incredible.

"It's because of this." Liu Xiu handed the piece of jute cloth that he found to Fu Jun. Fu Jun took it, looked at it carefully over and over again, and didn't see anything unusual about this piece of linen.

Liu Xiu asked a Yu Linjun to demonstrate it. Yu Lin Jun threw a yellow jute cloth over his body, then lay on his stomach and covered his body with linen.

Fu Jun is also a battle-hardened veteran, and after looking at it, he immediately understood the role of this piece of linen. He said in surprise: "It turns out that the enemy army is hiding on the mountain at the beginning of this!" ”

"Yes, I was negligent, we were all negligent, no one expected that the enemy's camouflage would be so simple and clever!" The point is that it still works.

Liu Xiu said meaningfully: "Ziwei, you must also pay more attention in the future, and you must not repeat the mistakes of the past and fall into the evil deeds of the enemy!" ”

Fu Jun nodded slowly with a solemn face and said, "Yes!" Wechen wrote it down! ”

Seeing Liu Xiu's tired face, Fu Jun hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is tired all the way, let's go and rest first!" ”

"Good!" Liu Xiu nodded, from the beginning of the mountain, all the way to Longguan, he was indeed quite tired. Even Liu Xiu's good physical strength is exhausted, and the soldiers below can be imagined.

Fu Jun gave up his camp tent as Liu Xiu's sleeping tent. He also ordered his soldiers to boil water and let Liu Xiu cleanse himself.

The armor on Liu Xiu's body is red, and when he takes off his armor, the clothes inside are also red, and when he takes off his outer clothes, the white middle clothes inside are dyed dark brown.

Taking off his middle coat and shirtless, he could see that there were several bloody wounds on his body.

Some small wounds have scabbed, and some large wounds are still bleeding from time to time.

Luo You, who was waiting for Liu Xiu to change clothes, grinned secretly, along the way, she only heard the injured soldiers cry out in pain, but she never heard Liu Xiu cry out in pain, she thought Liu Xiu was not injured! "Your Majesty has so many wounds on his body, you have to find a medical officer to treat it immediately!" Luo You said in a trembling voice.
