Yang Xiaoshan and Hong Xuanjiao followed Xiang Rong in the direction of his escape with their respective guards.

Since the establishment of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, this old thief has been staring at the Taiping army, and has fought dozens of battles, large and small. From Steak Ridge to Dongling to Shuangji Mountain to Cao Village, the field is a fierce battle, although the Taiping army wins more and loses less, but there are not a few brothers who fold in the hands of Xiang Rong, this person is thoughtful, and the courage to fight is the henchman of the Taiping army. Yang Xiaoshan stared at Xiang Rong's figure, and he must seize this opportunity today. Even if there is no reward, this person must be eliminated and a major enemy will be eliminated for the Taiping army.

Xiang Rong and his personal soldiers fled very quickly, and although Yang Xiaoshan and the others kept following, they never caught up. On the contrary, Hong Xuanjiao's guards fell first, after all, they are women, and it is very physically demanding to pursue in this heavy rain, and it is understandable to fall behind. On the contrary, Hong Xuanjiao gritted her teeth and persevered, and kept riding side by side with Yang Xiaoshan on horseback, without falling behind.

Yang Xiaoshan secretly admired that this woman really didn't let her eyebrows, but she could also see that Hong Xuanjiao's face was a little pale at this time, her lips were about to bite and bleed, and she didn't look very physically strong. Yang Xiaoshan was a little unbearable, and comforted: "Marshal Hong, why don't you rest first, it's really not easy to walk on this rainy day, just take someone to chase Xiang Rong." ”

Hong Xuanjiao was bent on taking Xiang Rong's head, and after hearing this, she was a little angry and said, "My physical strength is good, what?" Afraid that I robbed you of your demon sword? ”

Yang Xiaoshan was blocked by her words, and it was difficult to speak, so he could only shake his head secretly, and thought with a wry smile: "This woman is too strong, my kindness has become a donkey's liver and lungs, forget it, let her go." ”

After chasing, I probably ran out for about 20 miles. Suddenly, Xiang Rong's team in front of him stopped inexplicably.

Yang Xiaoshan was shocked, what was going on? Could it be that they still have an ambush here? This is absolutely impossible, this area is deserted, and it is impossible to set up an ambush here in advance.

Yang Xiaoshan hesitated in his heart, he couldn't figure out why the Qing army would act like this. He gently pulled the rope, wanting to observe the movement of the Qing army, so he slowed down slightly. When the guards saw him do this, they did not dare to cross him, and they slowed down. Hong Xuanjiao was happy in her heart, she didn't expect the enemy to stop by herself, isn't this a big gift, she immediately grabbed her double knives and rushed forward.

Hong Xuanjiao urged the horse to rush to the front and went straight to Rong. The two Qing army cavalry generals beside Xiang Rong both jumped out and met them.

"Don't get in my way!" Hong Xuanjiao drank angrily, raised his knife and slashed.

Seeing that it was a female general, the two Qing generals seemed to have a little confidence, and stabbed her in the face with their guns raised left and right. Hong Xuanjiao's two knives blocked the left and right guns, and the three of them fought in one place, and the guns and knives fought for a while.

Yang Xiaoshan, who was behind him, also led the guards to follow, and the two sides fought in one place. Yang Xiaoshan's side has a slightly larger number of people and has a slight advantage.

But Hong Xuanjiao's side has changed, and after a long time, Hong Xuanjiao's physical strength can't keep up. These two Qing generals were not wine bags and rice bags, and when they saw that her double swords were swinging slower than before, they knew that her strength was about to run out, so they immediately lifted their spirits and strengthened their attacks. forced Hong Xuanjiao to retreat again and again, and the Qing general's spear entangled her, and the tip of the spear always dangled around her.

Hong Xuanjiao couldn't resist a little, so she had to pull her horse down, and Yang Xiaoshan hurriedly urged her to step forward when she saw it, wanting to help her block it.

Who knew that Hong Xuanjiao's retreat had her intentions, and the two Qing generals pursued behind her, so they could no longer flank her left and right, and she didn't have to be distracted by attacks on both sides of the embankment. She peeked behind her and saw that the two generals were chasing after her, not side by side, and knew that her opportunity had come.

She made a sudden stop, and the Qing general in front didn't expect her to be like this, and one rushed in front of her carelessly. Hong Xuanjiao took this opportunity to raise her knife and slash from his back. The general screamed and was cut off his horse and went to see Hades. The Qing general in the back was taken aback, he didn't expect his companion to be killed by Hong Xuanjiao so quickly, he raised his gun and stabbed it over, wanting to avenge his companion.

Hong Xuanjiao lightly let go of the past, freed up one hand to grab the barrel of his gun, and took advantage of the situation. The Qing general was too impulsive, and she was pushed off the horse by her strength, Hong Xuanjiao turned the horse's head, and the tip of the knife turned to a sea fishing moon, and the result was the Qing general who fell off the horse.

Yang Xiaoshan had just come to her side to help, when the two Qing generals were killed by Hong Xuanjiao, so they had to stay awkwardly aside.

"How? I don't need your help! Hong Xuanjiao glanced at Yang Xiaoshan with a proud look.

Xiang Rong, who was blocked behind by his own soldiers, seemed to have made a difficult decision at this moment, turned around and fled again. Yang Hong and the others naturally would not let him go, and at this moment, only the three of them were galloping on this desolate land.

There are more and more puddles on the ground, although it is now the rainy season, Yang Xiaoshan vaguely feels that something is wrong, as for what is wrong, he really can't say, and he has no time to think about it.

Ten horse bodies, five horse bodies, three horse bodies, seeing that Yang Xiaoshan was chasing closer and closer, his sword had already been pulled out, and he almost cut off Xiang Rong's head.

"Yang Xiaoshan!" Hong Xuanjiao, who was behind her, suddenly screamed, and this cry still carried a kind of sadness.

Yang Xiaoshan stopped the sword in his hand in a daze and looked back. Hong Xuanjiao even led the horse into this muddy field, although she jumped off the horse, she still couldn't jump out of the muddy wetland, the more she struggled, the more she sank, half of her body had been sucked in, and her legs couldn't be pulled out.

"This is the swamp!" Yang Xiaoshan suddenly understood why the Qing soldiers suddenly stopped, it turned out that they had already seen that there was a swamp in front of them, so they had to come back to meet the battle. In the end, Xiang Rong had no choice but to flee here, he was also gambling with his life. Because of the heavy rain, he never saw it.

"Don't move, the deeper you move." Yang Xiaoshan shouted, he gave up on Xiang Rong and turned back to save Hong Xuanjiao.

Riding a horse and running so far in this swamp, Yang Xiaoshan was a little scared when he thought about it, at this time he didn't dare to move casually anymore, he retreated along the horse's hoof prints just now. More than ten meters away from Hong Xuanjiao, he got off the horse, lay on the ground and used his sword to test whether the ground in front of him was soft.

Yang Xiaoshan tried to climb at the same time, Hong Xuanjiao had already sunk most of her body into the ground at this time, the mud was over her waist, and she was about to reach her chest.

"Xiaoshan, save me!" Hong Xuanjiao, who has always been as brave as a man, also panicked at the moment of life and death, she was not afraid on the battlefield, but it was terrible to be suffocated to death at this point, death was a matter of an instant, but the fear before death was unbearable for ordinary people.

Yang Xiaoshan was also very anxious, he couldn't delay any longer, if he didn't hurry up, Hong Xuanjiao's life would be lost. He took off his clothes and headscarf, pulled them into strips and tied them together, and threw them beside Hong Xuanjiao, "Hold on, I'll pull you out." ”

The suction force of this swamp was too great, and Yang Xiaoshan did not pull Hong Xuanjiao out with all his strength, but was almost pulled into the swamp by the reaction force.

"Forget it, give up, my life is like this, don't save it." Hong Xuanjiao was also about to despair, and pulled her deeper after a few strokes.

"No, I'll be able to get you out! Don't give up on yourself! Yang Xiaoshan comforted her while his mind was racing to think of a way.

"There it is." Yang Xiaoshan finally thought of a way, he hurriedly pulled the horse over, tied one end of the long cloth strip to the saddle, tied it firmly and dragged it with his hand, and finally pulled out the saber and gently stabbed the horse's ass with the tip of the sword.

The horse was unprepared for this pain, and kicked his four hooves violently, and finally pulled Hong Xuanjiao out of the mud with this momentum.

"Get on your stomach, don't move." Yang Xiaoshan was afraid that she was trapped, so he grabbed the horse's head and pulled her to a safe place little by little.

Then Yang Xiaoshan picked up the weak Hong Xuanjiao on the horse, and he walked in front by himself, slowly walking back along the road he came.

Hong Xuanjiao escaped death, the whole person was physically and mentally exhausted, she lay on the horse, and said in an apologetic tone: "I'm sorry, in order to save me, you lost the demon sword, blame me." ”

"There will be a chance to take the sword again in the future, you only have one life, and if you lose it, you will lose it forever, of course I want to save you." Although Yang Xiaoshan has some regrets, he has no regrets.

"Thank you so much." Hong Xuanjiao rarely thanked others, but this time she was really moved by Yang Xiaoshan, she seriously looked at Yang Xiaoshan from behind, and saw him walking shirtless in the heavy rain, and there was an inexplicable feeling in her heart, at this moment Yang Xiaoshan's figure was so tall in her heart. She closed her eyes and rested peacefully, and there was an indescribable sense of security surrounding her, this person was so reliable, if it wasn't for the marriage contract, he was actually a good choice.
