The Chu army threw away some temporarily useless items, including most of the dry food, and left only weapons, wine, and beans to feed the horses, and returned to the edge of the grassland at dawn to rest for a while, especially to feed the horses, and then, they had to gallop continuously and return to the Broken Iron City as soon as possible.

Most of the soldiers took the opportunity to sleep for a while, Han Ruzi was not too sleepy, and felt that he could persevere, Fang Daye said to him: "You have made everyone more and more nervous." ”

Han Ruzi smiled, found a comfortable and dry place, wrapped in a cloak and lay down, wanting to close his eyes and rest for a while, but he fell asleep not long after his eyes were closed, and he even felt a wave of anger when he was pushed awake.

Du Chuanyun whispered, "It's time to go." ”

After resting for less than half an hour in total, everyone got on their horses, because they had to gallop continuously, and they did not dare to let the horses run too fast.

Until noon, there was no shadow of the Huns behind, and everyone felt a little relieved, and when the horses were resting, Han Ruzi found Jin Chunbao and asked, "Who told you about the split of the Eastern Huns?" ”

Jin Chunbao's injuries had not healed, he was first tied up by the shepherds, and then followed the Chu army on horseback for more than half a day, looking very haggard, and muttered, "Who told me?" That's what the Huns all said...... He often talked to me about how stupid the Huns who still wanted to live in the steppes were. ”

"How many Huns are chasing you?"

"Yes...... There were hundreds, I don't know, I kept running, sometimes I could hear the horses' hooves, sometimes I couldn't hear the ......"

"Look at his languishing appearance, just kill him, it's more convenient to only take the head." Cui Teng suggested again, holding the hilt of the knife and looking at Jin Chunbao's neck.

Jin Chunbao hurriedly stepped forward and opened his eyes, and said loudly: "I'm fine, I can still ride a horse for another three days and three nights." ”

Han Ruzi gave the order to get on his horse and was about to set off, when a soldier at the back of the palace waved a flag, attracting the attention of everyone in front, and everyone looked to the rear, only to see three cavalrymen appear a few miles away.

"It's the Huns." Cui Teng's voice trembled a little, "Run." ”

The order had already reached his lips, but Han Ruzi changed his mind, "Just march to that mountain and march normally." ”

"The Broken Iron City is in the west, and the mountains are in the north......" Cui Teng asked many people's doubts.

Han Ruzi glanced at the three Hun cavalry again, "Those three people are tracking a hundred enemy soldiers without panicking, there will be a large army behind them, if we escape, the army will also chase after us." Let's go into the mountains and make them think there is an ambush. ”

"Maybe there is an ambush, it's all Huns." Cui Teng just wants to hurry up.

"That's okay." Han Ruzi asked several soldiers behind the palace to catch up, and a hundred people formed a team and marched at a normal speed towards a mountain range in the northwest.

The three Huns followed not far away, and after half an hour, three or four miles away from the foot of the mountain, a large army of the Huns appeared.

"Oh my God, at least...... There are a thousand people. Cui Teng was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse.

"Don't panic, the Huns don't know our details, and they won't attack easily."

"What if they're not afraid?" Cui Teng didn't have any bottom in his heart.

Han Ruzi only forced himself to calm down, glanced at Cui Teng, and said coldly: "Then retreat while fighting." ”

A hundred people against a thousand people, there is no chance of winning, but Cui Teng does not dare to question it.

Han Ruzi slowed down, the Hun army followed from afar, and the three Huns in front of him got closer, and they neighed and whistled from their mouths, obviously provoking.

"Enough!" Fang Daye suddenly burst out, grabbed the reins, handed the flag in his hand to Du Chuanyun, and said to General Zhenbei: "You go slowly, you don't have to stop and wait for me." ”

"Old General......

Before Han Ruzi finished speaking, Fang Daye turned his horse's head and galloped towards the tail of the team, stopped in front of a strong officer, and said, "Lend me your bow." ”

Fang Daye's identity is a prisoner, and after serving as a standard-bearer, he was issued an ordinary bow and arrow, and the person who was borrowed the bow was a junior colonel in the army, with extraordinary arm strength, and carried a special hard bow, but he was not willing to give it to outsiders easily, especially an old man in his sixties.

"Hurry up!" Fang Daye shouted loudly, Xiao Xiaoxiao's body trembled, and he looked at General Zhenbei, and when he saw the general nodding, he reluctantly handed over the bow.

Fang Daye took the hard bow, and he didn't thank him, he took a deep breath, his chest bulged, and his huge belly miraculously retracted.

"Drive." Fang Daye slapped his horse and rushed towards the three Huns.

Although he said that there was no need to wait, Han Ruzi and the others still waited and watched.

The three Huns scattered and fought at the same time.

The Hun army in the distance also stopped.

A Hun shot an arrow first, Fang Daye did not dodge, did not slow down, let the arrow pass by, suddenly stepped forward and shot an arrow, but did not hit.

"Alas......" several noble children sighed regretfully.

The three Huns shot arrows almost simultaneously, and Fang Daye dodged on his horse, and then stepped forward again to draw his bow.

A Hun was shot by an arrow and fell from his horse.

Half of the Chu army cheered softly.

The other two Huns hurriedly returned fire, one arrow passing by the target, but the other seemed to hit.

Including Han Ruzi, all the Chu troops screamed in shock.

The horse was still galloping, and Fang Daye once again stepped forward to shoot, using the enemy's arrows, and the second Hun fell off his horse.

There was only one Hun left, taken aback, turned around and fled, Fang Daye chased closely, shortened the distance to only thirty steps, sent out a third arrow, hit accurately, and in an instant, killed three people in a row.

Fang Daye's position at this time was closer to the Hun army, he did not retreat immediately, but ran forward for a distance, raised the hard bow with one hand, and made a challenging posture.

"This old fellow!" Cui Teng really couldn't find any other words, so he repeated these words five or six times in succession, looked at his companions on the left and right, and saw that everyone was as surprised and admired as he was.

No one in the Hun army came out to meet the battle, Fang Daye turned his horse's head and drove back to his team, his long beard fluttered, he exhaled, his stomach bulged again, and handed the hard bow to the colonel.

The colonel hurriedly waved his hand, "Please stay with the old general, I don't deserve to use this bow again." ”

Fang Daye was also not humble, leaving a hard bow and handing over his original ordinary bow to the other party.

"Let's go, go to the foot of the mountain and rest." Although Fang Daye is still a standard-bearer, what he said has a majesty, Han Ruzi nodded, and the team set off, the speed was still not fast, but everyone was a little more steady.

Du Chuanyun's vision has always been very high, but at this time he was also willing to hold the flag for Fang Daye, what he admired was not archery, from a distance, Fang Daye and the three Huns were not surprising, he admired the courage of the old general, in the face of thousands of enemy troops, he dared to rush up to meet the battle, this calmness and calmness, Du Chuanyun thought to himself, faintly felt that even if his grandfather Du touched the sky here, he did not dare.

When the team came to the foot of the mountain, it was already dark, and the Hun army did not catch up, and watched from a distance, as if there was some undecided.

Everyone began to get nervous again, and Cui Teng asked, "What should I do?" Do you really want to fight and retreat at the same time? ”

Han Ruzi looked at his banner, "The Huns will not attack immediately. ”

"Are you sure?" Cui Teng became more and more unable to hold his breath, "It seems that the Huns will not retreat." ”

Han Ruzi didn't know much about the Huns, and unlike the old general Fang Daye, his composure came from his personality and some of the history books he had read, "The Huns had many tribes, and there were often times when they disagreed. ”

Han Ruzi bowed his hand to Fang Daye and said, "General Fang ......"

"The Huns will not retreat, you have to send someone back to the broken iron city to bring rescue. The hillside over there can be blocked for a while. "Fang Daye knew the Huns and had observed the surrounding terrain.

Han Ruzi nodded and said to Du Chuanyun, "You go back ......"

Du Chuanyun immediately shook his head, "Although my archery skills are average, I have to stay, I didn't come with you to move the rescuers, but to protect you." ”

"Let me go." Cui Teng took the initiative to ask Ying, rather than stopping here to confront the Huns, he wanted to ride his horse west, even if there were no rescuers there, it didn't matter, as long as he could stay away from the Huns.

The confidence built by Fang Daye's killing of three people in a row was about to be forced back by the night.

Han Ruzi's gaze swept over, there were not a few people who had the same idea as Cui Teng, but they didn't dare to openly bring it up like him.

Han Ruzi called the name, two soldiers of the tribe, a regular Chu army soldier, and a noble son, and finally pointed to Cui Teng, "The five of you bring ten horses, and I will light a fire to attract the Huns after nightfall, you go and get the rescuers, and go back quickly." ”

"Definitely!" Cui Teng replied loudly, holding the reins tightly, and wanted to run.

"Take Jin Chunbao, he can protect you." Han Ruzi said.

Jin Chunbao was stunned, but Cui Teng was shocked, "What are you taking him for?" Running slower. ”

Han Ruzi insisted on his guess: "The last person the Huns want to kill is him, and they are chasing this flag." ”

"Leave the flag behind, and you can go with us." Cui Teng said.

Han Ruzi's heart moved, Taizu Han Fu would abandon everyone and flee alone, but he wouldn't, Taizu had a foundation when he was fighting for power, and he could always make a comeback, there were not many available people around Han Ruzi, if he was timid, he was afraid that there would be no followers.

"The flag is here." Han Ruzi said, "Get ready." ”

The hillside is not very steep, dozens of steps wide, and there are cliffs on both sides, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but once it is blocked, it is difficult to rush out. Han Ruzi led the team to the bottom of the slope, this area is very desolate, the grass and trees are scarce, he ordered someone to unload a part of the saddle and pile it together and set it on fire.

Cui Teng and the others took Jin Chunbao to the west along the foot of the mountain, Han Ruzi watched them disappear, and the Huns really did not divide their troops to chase after him, and he felt a little at ease.

The fire was getting stronger, the Chu army led the horse up the hillside, more than 100 steps away from the fire, standing in three rows, holding the bow outward, Han Ruzi stood in the middle of the first row, Du Chuanyun guarded his side, holding the flagpole in one hand and the shield in the other, and whispered: "This is really different from the competition between the people of the rivers and lakes." ”

Fang Daye stood on the other side of Han Ruzi, looked at the fire under the mountain, and said, "Back to the Broken Iron City, if the general is still interested, let's talk about it." ”

Han Ruzi smiled slightly, what can say that the old general is not words, but battles.

There were shadows in the fire at the foot of the mountain, and the Huns forced up. (To be continued.) )
