"Stop! What people! ”

More than a dozen figures suddenly appeared in front of him rushing towards him, and the sentinels guarding immediately shouted one after another. After seeing that the other party did not mean to stop at all, they immediately threw away their torches and clenched the weapons in their hands.

Liu Xiuchong was at the forefront, and with a flick of his long sword, he stabbed at a new army soldier holding a spear in front of him. The blade slammed into the barrel of the gun, stabbing the soldier in the chest like lightning.

"Enemy Attack !!"

The remaining enemy forces also rushed forward, trying to stop the enemy in front of them, shouting loudly and calling their comrades nearby.

"Rush!" With Liu Xiu's shouting, the people behind him also entered the enemy group at the same time. Most of the sentries were armed with spears, and in the rush of battle, they did not have time to form a formation, and after being approached by a group of swordsmen, it suddenly turned into a massacre. In an instant, Liu Xiu and the others had already gained the upper hand, and more than 50 new sergeants and soldiers had fallen more than 10 people, but Liu Xiu and the others were not harmed.

The remaining soldiers of the Forces nouvelles, after the initial confusion, had begun to form formations. It was just the simplest circle formation, with a circle of spear-wielding soldiers outside, surrounding the remaining dozen or so sword-wielding soldiers in the middle.

Not far away, the rest of the squad was also coming. The sound of shouting and sending messages kept passing to the camps on both sides, and Liu Xiu had already heard the sound of horses' hooves beginning to sound in the distance.

The encirclement is about to begin. If you linger here for a few more moments, the thirteen people here will all die without a place to be buried!

However, there is no need to fight anymore. What Liu Xiu was waiting for was the moment when the other party gave up the entanglement. At the same time as the circle formation on the opposite side was formed, Liu Xiu and the others had already retreated back in unison, and then bypassed the circle formation that was firmly in place left and right, and pounced into the woods behind them.

Bolted! Bolted! Run wild!

In the dense woods, horses can't even compete with the speed of human legs, let alone galloping, even if they walk slowly. As long as you can get into the woods, you don't need to worry about being caught up by cavalry. The dark environment in the forest makes it necessary for the pursuers to search with torches, which is far more conducive to the fleeing side.

As long as you enter the woods, then this breakthrough plan is almost equivalent to success!

However, when Liu Xiu ran into the woods, he was suddenly startled in his heart.

In the dense woods, it should have been so dark that even the moonlight could not shine through. However, when he rushed into the forest, he found that there was still a light of torches coming from the forest, although it was not dense, but it was all over the place, and it went as far as the eye could see.

This Wang Yi Wang is looking for two people, is it crazy!

Liu Xiu scolded in horror in his heart. Even if it is to prevent the besieging troops from breaking through, it is reasonable to arrange a sentry in front of the woods, but there are so many garrison soldiers scattered in the forest, there is no need at all!

The shouts of the pursuers behind him were still loud and loud, getting closer and closer. And the soldiers with torches in the forest ahead also began to surround here.

The forest is densely wooded, and the gap in the middle can barely allow two people to walk side by side. After entering the forest, the speed of Liu Xiu and the others running forward suddenly decreased a lot. If there were only pursuers behind them, it would be fine, but the enemy in front of them was almost unable to fly.

"Surround the young master and kill it." The leader of the remaining ten rangers let out a low roar, and the rest spread forward, forming a loose circle that surrounded Liu Xiu and the three of them in the center, and rushed forward at high speed.

The ambush soldiers in the forest only knew that there was an enemy intruding in front of them, but they did not know the number and direction of the number, so they could only spread out as much as possible, and in groups of more than ten people, they cautiously touched in the direction from which the sound came. The distance between each of the two squads is only less than ten zhang, ensuring that no one is spared.

The first team to find Liu Xiu and others had just issued a warning call, and they were broken into the queue by the rangers advancing at high speed. In such a narrow environment, the ranger brought the swordsmanship of life and death to the extreme. Soldiers who are accustomed to forming formations against the enemy in such close proximity are simply unable to face those terrifying swordsmanship, let alone hold a torch in the other hand to illuminate the surroundings and spot the enemy.

The three or four rangers at the front had just rushed into the crowd, and immediately set off a bloody storm. Every scream was accompanied by the fall of a torch to the ground. The rest of the rangers continued to surround Liu Xiu and rushed forward. It only took a moment for the three or four rangers to kill all the new soldiers. After returning to the team, the gap behind the ring was filled.

The thirteen men advanced all the way south, killing five patrolling squads in the forest along the way. However, the dense forest ahead is still vast and far-reaching, with no end in sight, and the new army soldiers with torches in the forest seem to never finish, not only has there been no decrease, but there are even more and more signs.

Liu Xiu's heart became anxious. It seemed that the camps on both sides had received the message and began to send more and more soldiers into the forest. With the guarantee of the total number of people, the squad of the new army in the forest has become larger and larger, from a team of more than ten people at the beginning, to a team of dozens of people, and now a team of nearly 100 people.

No matter how superb the swordsmanship is, a person's physical strength is limited after all, not to mention the disparity in the number of people facing such a huge difference. When they were once again discovered by a team of 100 people, although they eventually escaped the pursuit of the other party, the price paid was the death of two rangers.

And the rest of the people, except for Liu Xiu, were also injured.

Behind a tree, Liu Xiu pressed the thigh of a ranger and asked Li Tong to help bandage it. On the inner thigh, in a deep wound that showed bones, blood was gushing out like a spring. The strip of cloth that had just been wrapped was soaked in blood in an instant.

Although there were still groups of New Army soldiers searching around, Liu Xiu insisted on finding a relatively hidden place to bandage him.

"Please...... The young master goes first. The ranger looked down at his wounds, and saw that the light of the torches in the distance around him was wandering around, and he was about to move towards this place at some point, and shook his head solemnly: "My subordinates are no longer saved." ”

On a normal day, his injuries would not have been fatal. But in this crisis-ridden environment, he naturally didn't have time for detailed treatment. And after losing the ability to move, even if you barely take him with you, it can only be regarded as a burden.

Liu Xiu took a deep breath, not knowing how to decide.

"Young master!"

Seeing that Liu Xiu still had a hesitant look on his face, the ranger's face turned pale, and he took out a dagger from his arms and aimed it at his chest: "Young master, if you leave now, your subordinates can still stop some pursuers for you." If it is delayed any longer, the death of the subordinate will be meaningless. ”

Liu Xiu's heart was crossed, knowing that there was no time left for him to waste at this moment, he held the ranger's hand hard and squeezed it tightly, then gritted his teeth and turned his head, and continued to run towards the south without saying a word. The rest of the rangers and Li Tong Renguang also glanced deeply at the ranger lying behind them, and then followed Liu Xiu's back closely.

The wounded ranger lay with his back against the trunk of the tree, looking in the direction of Liu Xiu's distance until his back could no longer be seen clearly, then he smiled with relief, then took a deep breath and roared loudly.

"The king of the country! The king of national thieves! Oh my! Oh my! Oh my! ”

High-pitched cries resounded through the sky. The light of the torches around them was like a shark smelling blood, and it quickly gathered here following the sound.

The ranger threw away his dagger, clenched the sword at his side, and struggled to his feet against the trunk of the tree, a smile of relief on his face as he faced the light of the rapidly approaching torches in the distance.

Come on, even if it is death, you must be made to pay!

The shouts of killing behind him rang out, and there was a brief silence. Liu Xiu's heart sank in the midst of the frenzy, knowing that the injured ranger was dead.

With the addition of himself, there were only ten people left, and the woods still had no end in sight.

Fortunately, the ranger attracted the attention of the surrounding circle of enemies, allowing them to escape a considerable distance unhindered, and the pursuers who had been biting closely behind them before had lost their traces at this moment.

Next, care must be taken again.

Liu Xiu led everyone forward cautiously, not daring to make too much noise at any time. As soon as they saw the slightest glimmer of the torches, they immediately held their breath and dispersed to hide behind the trunks of the trees, until the enemy was completely gone, and then continued to move forward and start again.

When there were fewer and fewer torches nearby, and it was not until he had not encountered a patrol team for a long time, Liu Xiu finally let out a sigh of relief.

Ahead, we finally reached the edge of the woods. And at this moment, a piece of fish belly white has also appeared on the horizon. It took them a whole night to walk through this dense forest.

The new army that was hunted and hunted was finally left behind, and then, as long as they could no longer be bitten by the pursuing new army before arriving at Dingling, this breakthrough would be considered a success.

Turning to look at the tired people behind him, with colors everywhere, Liu Xiu's face finally showed a smile:

"Let's go, go to Dingling."
