After escaping from the crack in the mountain wall, Yuan Yun never stopped, galloping all night after day, and finally because the horses were too tired, everyone chose to camp.

Sitting in front of the fire at this moment, Yuan Yun sighed in his heart, if Zhao Yun hadn't expelled all the people guarding there after passing through the crack, he would probably die there.

When he thought of Zhao Yun, Yuan Yun smiled bitterly again, if he was angry and scolded Zhao Yun, if he didn't do it, there would be no thing to drive the enemy behind, and that kind of result was unimaginable.

The gap is so narrow, almost only one person can pass through, and only Zhao Yun, a person who is trusted by the enemy, can pass so smoothly, if he sends anyone to go, it is estimated that he will be shot into a hedgehog, let alone expel all the other party.

From this point of view, in fact, many things have advantages and disadvantages, some losses that occur in the process may be able to help you make a lot of money at the end, Yuan Yun now feels that he has earned, not only the relationship with Zhao Yun has been greatly reconciled, but also picked up a small life for himself, and the principal and interest have been recovered a lot.

When he was delusional, a cold wind suddenly blew, and Yuan Yun immediately shivered all over, and then sneezed fiercely.

Xiao Liu sent the roasted boar meat over at this time, Yuan Yun took it and immediately took out the condiments from his arms and sprinkled them, although the taste was still a little fishy, but he didn't eat hot food for a day and a night, so he didn't bother to scruple at all, so he took a big bite and bit it.

A group of generals of the Yuan Mansion also seemed to be very hungry, and everyone was eating the dry food they carried with them, which made Yuan Yun feel a little guilty, he ate the wild boar that Xiaoliu hunted back here, but they could only gnaw on dry food, which was unfair.

I just wanted to say something, but I was stunned, whether it was Cao Ang or Jia Xu, or even Zheng Xuan, they all reminded themselves that the superior must have the consciousness of the superior, once he is too close, it will make the people below develop bad problems.

Yuan Yun naturally understood this truth, so he gave up the idea of eating wild boar, and continued to enjoy his own food, as for the guilt of these generals, he would make up for it when he returned to Luoyang, and what he had to do now was to maintain his posture as a superior.

Another gust of cold wind blew, Yuan Yun was in a hurry at the moment, his whole body was sweating, and as soon as a few gusts of wind blew, his body was cold and uncomfortable, and in an instant, there were a few sneezes, which made him a little more comfortable.

After rectifying his spirits, Yuan Yun beckoned to Li He, who was standing in the distance.

Li He is the most tired person these days, escaping from the enemy's pursuers, naturally consuming a lot of physical strength, but he is indeed a tough guy, he refused Yuan Yun's request to let him rest, and once again took the scouts to start moving around, and because of this, Yuan Yun and they were able to move forward smoothly.

Li He took a few steps to the fire where Yuan Yun was, and then squatted down and said: "Lord, the chasing soldiers have hit us a lot of minefields in the past few days, so their speed has dropped again and again, and at this moment we have been thrown out of the journey for half a day, so we can rest more tonight." ”

Yuan Yun glanced at the people in the camp, and then asked, "Do the brothers still have the strength to move on?" ”

Li He replied: "Naturally strong, we are all veterans of a hundred battles, if we don't have this ability, then it is better to stay at home and be a nurse." ”

Yuan Yun smiled and said, "You're just worried that my physical strength is not enough, right?" Don't worry, Lao Tzu has also gone through countless big battles and small battles now, and he is also a well-known man, so you don't have to worry about me, you can go how you want. ”

Shi Shen leaned over at this time and said: "Lord, the soles of your feet are blistered, let's just rest for one more night, these grandsons who are chasing us have been killed by us in the past few days, and now it is estimated that there are only two or three hundred people, so it is better for us to braise them in one scoop." ”

Li He immediately reminded: "It's not proper, although we did kill many of them all the way, but their number has increased unabated, I only saw the opponent's lineup in the afternoon, and the number is now almost a thousand." ”

Shi Shen was stunned and wondered: "How can this be?" We have planted a lot of minefields these days, and we have heard the explosions, why is it that the number of enemies has increased instead of decreasing? ”

Yuan Yun frowned slightly, and said with a smile in an instant: "Sooner or later, you will have to pay it back, these pursuers are estimated to have been replaced, we killed so many Liu Bei's people in the cracks of the mountain wall that day, and then we annihilated a lot along the way, Liu Bei's group of pursuers probably already knew that it would be useless to chase again, and it is estimated that they have retreated." ”

Li He thought for a moment, and then said: "What the lord said is true, I went back to spy later, and I did find that the other party did not seem to be as rigorous as before, although the number of people is increasing, but the speed of the march is constantly decreasing, indicating that the quality of these people is uneven, more like a temporary patchwork team." ”

Xiao Liu also became interested and asked, "Then who are these?" ”

Yuan Yun bit down on a piece of meat, chewed it for a while before wiping his grease mouth and said, "It's either Duan Xuan's or Zhang Lu's, or the two of them are united." ”

Li He snorted and said, "Look at the quality of those fighters, some are very powerful, some are not in good spirits, and they really don't look like a group of people. ”

Yuan Yun continued Li He's words and said: "No matter what their combat strength is, let's hurry first, let them think that we will only escape, and when we drag them away for a few more days, it will be time for us to take revenge, so inform everyone, hurry up and finish the food, and then continue on the road, what we have to compete with now is endurance." ”

After Yuan Yun explained this, everyone quieted down and began to work hard to deal with the food in front of them, and when everyone was full of food and drink, the team got on the horse again, and then ran in the direction of Luoyang.

The team ran all night, and on the morning of the second day, Yuan Yun ordered to rest, and Li He was also replaced by Xiao Liu, and followed a few scouts to spy on the chasing soldiers behind them.

Although Yuan Yun was very tired, he couldn't sleep, and he didn't know what was wrong, he only felt a terrible headache, so he just watched the sun gradually rise from the end of the snow-filled earth, and then slowly climbed into the air, and the thick snow on the ground began to melt, and the winter was finally coming to an end.

By noon, Xiao Liu had returned, and the pursuers behind him were still biting tightly, and some of them who really couldn't keep up would be killed on the spot immediately, which made these pursuers rush hard.

After Yuan Yun finished Xiao Liu's report, he immediately ordered to continue to advance, and now his manpower has been rested, but the enemy has been suffering, which has produced a great advantage, as long as he holds on for a few more days, I believe that the other party will be dragged down alive.

When the snow melts, the ground is very difficult to walk, and it is not uncommon for horses' hooves to sink into the mud and fall down with people, so everyone chooses to lead their horses.

At this moment, he has entered the territory of Hongnong, Yuan Yun is very familiar with the terrain and landform here, and when he crusaded against Li Dao before, he specially recorded all this place in his mind, so he quickly chose a route to Hongnong Wharf recently.

And Li He, who had just rested for a few hours, was sent out by Yuan Yun again, but this time he went in the direction of Hongnong Wharf, and gave Li He three horses, which was enough to prove that he needed to rush crazy.

When Shi Shen saw the direction in which Li He was going, he immediately asked Yuan Yun beside him, "Lord, are you planning to let Li He go back to move the rescue soldiers?" But when they arrived, it would be at least a few days later, so how could it be in time? ”

Yuan Yun smiled and said nothing, patted the horse's back gently, and let Xiao Liu continue to lead forward, he was a little tired and lay on the horse's back, now almost everyone is leading the horse, only he is still riding on the horse, it's not that he can't walk, but he has been inexplicably sick in the past few days, if he hadn't come out with a medical bag this time, I'm afraid it would have been carried by someone.

The team continued to walk for a few days, during which Yuan Yun launched a high fever, although the antipyretic medicine was relieved a lot, but he was still not lightly ill, which made everyone very nervous, so the trip gradually slowed down.

It was not until the morning of the third day, when everyone had groped for a long time in the fog that they finally saw the course of the river, that they were a little more relaxed, but at this time, the pursuers finally arrived, and a chase began at the edge of the river.

The pursuers actually chose a strong man to break his wrist, threw all those who couldn't walk in the rear, and then selected the most elite men and horses to follow, plus because Yuan Yun's serious illness slowed down the speed of escape, so the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and they were finally caught up on the edge of the river.

Shi Shen handed Yuan Yun over to Xiao Liu, and then organized all the generals to start taking up positions by the river, and when the steel crossbow shot over a group of enemy cavalry, more enemies immediately rushed out of the woods by the river.

Seeing that they were very close, this group of enemies began to charge frantically, just wanting to take away Shi Shen and the others in waves, but the sudden explosion made them wake up, and the opponent's mine array had already been arranged, just waiting for them to take the bait.

The buried mine array instantly engulfed most of the enemy's centaurs, Shi Shen howled very excitedly, and then picked up the steel crossbow and began to order group fire, and soon this group of enemies was also suppressed back.

Xiao Liu did not stop because of the short-term victory, because he knew very well that the enemy was at least four or five hundred, and less than a hundred people were shot just now, and the enemy army would inevitably be organized before launching a more powerful attack.

Yuan Yun was just lying on the back of the horse in a daze at the moment, and he had almost no sense of the ongoing battle, he just kept muttering in his mouth: "Close to the river, you must be close to the river......"

Xiao Liu frowned, Yuan Yun had been talking about this sentence since just now, so everyone had been walking close to the river, and because of this, they were caught by the enemy at once, if they could hide in the woods by the river, maybe they could hold on for a while.

While Xiao Liu was thinking wildly, the enemy had already lined up in formation, and this time there was no such chaos as before, but the shield was in front and the crossbowmen were behind, and they slowly and scattered and began to attack Shi Shen.

Shi Shen's defensive front immediately felt a great increase in pressure, the steel crossbow was no longer as powerful as before, and the gunpowder bomb could only injure a few people after it was thrown, and the number of enemies was too much, if it wasn't for the exhaustion of this group of enemies before, it is estimated that a wave of charges can take away Shi Shen and the others at this moment.

Looking back at the direction where Yuan Yun and Xiao Liu had disappeared, Shi Shen gritted his teeth and shouted, "Put down the armor!" ”

When all the generals heard this order, they knew what was going on, and now they were going to engage in hand-to-hand combat, so as to create more time for the lord to escape, and once they fought hand-to-hand it would be almost certain death, but no one was cowardly, and they put down their armors one after another, and then beat their breastplates with their weapons, and in an instant there was a loud noise by the river.

Seeing that the other party had given up shooting, the enemy immediately lifted his spirits, and they all drew their weapons one after another, put down their shields, and prepared to launch a powerful charge, and the opponent was only about 20 people, that is, a stick of incense could be wiped out in time.

Just as the gang was in their prime, they suddenly heard several muffled noises from the rear of the line, and then the muffled sound spread, which was all too familiar to them, it was the sound of a gunpowder bomb exploding.

Instantly, the group of enemies began to panic, and then they saw large ships in the foggy river, and these large ships were constantly shooting huge powerful crossbows, each crossbow bolt would explode immediately after landing, and the power was very great.

After a few moments, they finally saw the flags fluttering on these big ships, and they all had the word 'king' written on them.
