One by one, the footsteps were messily stepping on the ground, splashing dust, countless people walked forward in an orderly manner with the shouts of the generals, and when the shouts of killing in the rear came like a tide, the fleeing front crowd side, there were cavalry escorts all the way to turn back, and intercepted the pursuing Jizhou soldiers and horses head-on.

This is exactly the team of Gongsun Zhi who wants to enter Wuruan Pass to the west and go to Taihang, Youyan Foot Soldiers, Black Mountain Cavalry, and Jizhou Soldiers are counted together as no more than 15,000 people, especially in the fall of stroke, in the westward retreat and transfer of large teams, many escaped and escaped, and some wanted to escape and were chased and killed by Black Mountain Cavalry in the wilderness.

Rao is so, the deterrent power of the cavalry is limited after all, can not prevent a large area of soldiers to escape or die, as Yuan Shao's tribe began to catch up, on the way to the west, there are almost every day of fighting, the first few days are the most fierce fighting, even Gongsun Zhi also rushed into the battle to fight with people, to the next few days, the pursuit of the Jizhou army has gradually become an alternate attack, want to eat the tired remnants of the army one bite at a time.

The whole journey from Yijing to Wuruan Pass was nearly four or five hundred miles, and during the long journey, even if Yuan Shao was mostly foot soldiers, they did not dare to stop at will.

In the countless noises, the crowd who wielded the blade and killed the rear pursuit, the rear of their own side of the formation is also resisting stubbornly, for the list of the right Beiping generals, this is the battle-hardened general under the command of Gongsun Zhan, such a battle has also experienced a lot, when aware of Yuan Shao's alternate offensive, reminded the new lord of the moment, and then put on armor and spears with two thousand foot soldiers to take the initiative to break off, take a tight defensive formation and fight and go, occasionally encounter a dangerous position, will also garrison to defend, Then he left to catch up with the brigade, and he held on for nearly half a month.

Risking the stone arrow, he also suffered several wounds, Gongsun Zhi asked people to come over to replace his palace, and after driving people away, he pulled out a knife and put it on his neck: "If you can't let the prince and all the monarchs and soldiers go back to Youzhou, and be ashamed of the lord, it's better to leave it at that, and the prince will send someone again——"

Righteous and strong words, there were only more than a thousand people left around, and the Youyan infantry burst out in response.

Gongsun Zhi naturally no longer dissuaded, and arranged for Zou Dan and Dian Wei to be ready to meet them at any time, and that evening, in the west, after a wave of friction and consumption of the Jizhou army's offensive was fought, it gradually withdrew.

Night ensues.

The night breeze of late autumn was slightly cold and cold through the night, the outline of the mountain was dim, close to the foot of the mountain, the stream was held by calluses, tiny wounds and drank into the mouth, the tired and shaking soldier straightened up, surrounded by figures as tired as him, or drinking water, or leaning against the stones and trees to seize the time to rest, the smell of blood and herbs spread faintly in the air.

With the sound of rustling footsteps, a soldier walked a few steps and fell, and his companions rushed up to help him, shouting: "Come on, come and stop the bleeding for him......"

In an anxious and hoarse roar, the fallen figure was dragged under the tree, and the soldier in charge of treating the wound hurried up, but soon there was a heart-wrenching cry from there.

After all, there are not many such voices in a team of more than 10,000 people, and occasionally it sounds like a night fox screaming. In the dark mountains, on the higher ground here, the silhouette of a man leading a war horse walked alone, and after a while, he sat down on a stone, rolled up the torn brocade silk on his abdomen, and bandaged the wound.

The abdomen, arms, and shoulders of the figure have more or less a few wounds, some of which are covered with nail leaves, which are also cut into depressions, or rubbed out white marks, the first few fierce pursuits, he led the team to rush twice, and he was inevitably injured by cold guns and dark arrows in the fight, just like Dian Wei, after the battle, he also found that his back, thighs, and arms were torn by knives and guns.

It was a small injury for the giant man, but for Gongsun Zhi, it was a pain that almost made him faint on horseback, and he survived several times.

The bitter grass roots chewed in his mouth, and the pain of the wound made him tremble slightly, half a month ago, the Youyan foot soldiers in Yijing City were full of mourning, and it was no longer something he could stop, and forcibly intercepting it would only make him the target of the attack, although he was reckless, but Gongsun Zhi did not regret it, because only in this way could he collect the hearts of these strong soldiers.

Click-

There was a crisp sound of a tree branch breaking behind him, and when he turned his face, a white figure walked over, stuck the gentian that had drunk countless blood on the ground, and sat down next to it.

The two were silent for a while.

"Chief, there are still two or three hundred miles away from Wuruan Pass, and the brothers are almost unable to hold on, so it is not a good way to go on like this." Zhao Yun pinched the barrel of the gun and whispered first.

Gongsun stopped looking at the middle below, there were many figures bandaging and treating the wounded, and the soldiers who often experienced the battle formation had some experience in dealing with wounds, and knew how to stop the bleeding quickly, but the method was a little painful, and after sitting for a while, when there was a scream, he looked at the general next to him: "Then what good way do you have?" ”

"No, if the Yu Poison army that went to attack Yecheng came back to help...... Forget it, when the cloud didn't say it. Zhao Yun thought for a moment, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"But I have-" Gongsun Zhi lowered his head and bit the bandaged cloth towel tightly, and when his eyes were raised, his voice was low: "Aren't there still Gao Ran and Gao Huai?" ”

"Huh?" The rather young general was a little surprised: "Isn't the leader ready to surrender the two?" ”

Gongsun Zhi patted the other party's shoulder, pulled the wound when he got up, took a painful breath, and laughed again: "If Yuan Shao is dead, it's okay to accept the two, but Yuan Shao is still alive, and his power is getting stronger and stronger, even if these two people are down, it's just to save their lives, if they really let them go to the battlefield, do you think they will fight back?" Rather than that, it's better to use one. ”

His gaze looked downward, resting on the two bound figures......

**************************

To the southwest, a large army was crushing over the mountains, and the rugged terrain of the foothills was quite easy for the group, and with occasional pauses, someone came to the leader of the group and whispered a bad word.

"Leader Yu, why do we have to go back thousands of miles and do some thankless work, why don't we collect everyone to occupy the mountain again as kings and live an unrestrained life, why bother to be dogs and listen to people."

"What are you talking about, thief!" Next to him, Zuo Zhangba stepped forward and shouted in a low voice: "The thief doesn't change, damn it, believe it or not, I'll kill you now." ”

The person who spoke was nicknamed Colonel Zuo, and his real name was even forgotten, so he laughed and waved his hand: "This ..... This is just a casual conversation between the brothers, and if the leader wants us to leave, I believe the brothers will follow. ”

"Oh, where do you want to go?"

By the lit bonfire, Yu Poison sharpened his blade, and looked at him with a gloomy face: "If it's a good proposal, I'll let you be the third child." ”

"Hongnong, let's take someone to join forces with Zhang Baicai, and then we can't say that we will eat him, we have tens of thousands of horses in our hands, according to the high mountain danger, wouldn't it be better to be in the mountains." The left colonel leaned over flatteringly, squatted next to him and gestured with his hand: "...... At that time, the leader will be much more majestic than now, and I can't say that the court will see that we are powerful, and send officials to do it. ”

"Then we don't want hundreds of thousands of Black Mountain people?" Yu Poison raised the knife and flicked his fingers, "Do you know..... Since General Zhang's death, I have thought a lot, and I finally understand that the princes from all walks of life outside here are more ruthless than our mountain people, do you want me to die? ”

Colonel Zuo's smile froze, and he waved his hand again and again: "No..... No..... The little one didn't think about it....." In the panicked and shaking vision, the firelight reflected the figure and walked over, and his arm was raised.

He got up from the ground, turned around and wanted to run away, the blade had been split on his back, the blood splattered, the corpse was on the fire, the light was clearly extinguished, and the black mountain foot soldiers who heard the sound around looked over here, and Yu Poison's face was stained with blood, and his eyes were gloomy: "Everyone finally got rid of the bandits, if anyone wants to be a thief again, don't blame Yu for not being emotional." ”

Someone in the figure lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, and over there, the voice spoke again: "Everyone prepare, hurry overnight, go to Wuruan Pass to meet the big leader, get up!" ”

In the mountains and fields, the shadowy figure got up, picked up the weapon and was regathered by Yu Poison, and rushed across the foothills and hills to the Wuruan Pass in his mouth.

Soon after, the sky was almost dawn, and a psychological war that forced Yuan Shao to choose was also beginning at dawn.
