An Lushan and several staff members quickly rushed forward under the cover of these entourages.

However, as soon as they rushed out of the area where the rocks fell on both sides, they saw the guards running in front of them stop suddenly, and An Lushan, who was following among the guards, also stared at the front. But I saw two or three hundred burly men rushing out from the front, and from the surface, these people were obviously mountain bandits near Chang'an City.

However, An Lushan knew in his heart that they were probably more than just mountain bandits. Not to mention anything else, just from the other party's clothes and weapons, you can get it, and the other party is not short of money at all. The clothes worn by these so-called mountain bandits are all made of fine fabrics, and even their weapons are made of fine metal, which is even much better than the weapons of ordinary soldiers in the Tang army.

After seeing this scene, An Lushan's heart suddenly sank. I'm afraid that just these things in front of me can kill them all. An Lushan only led one hundred and thirty or forty people to the capital this time. In normal times, so many people are already a lot, after all, they are not caravanserais, and it is impossible for the mountain bandits to come out and rob them.

However, he never expected that at this time, they were really intercepted by the mountain bandits. Moreover, there were more than 300 mountain bandits who intercepted him in front alone, and in their rear, I am afraid that they had already been blocked at this time. Plus those archers who are secretly hiding on both sides.

Combined, there are probably seven or eight hundred of these mountain bandits!

Thinking of this, An Lushan took a step forward and asked with a little luck in his heart, "I don't know what you guys are stopping us for?" We have no enmity with you, we are not caravans, and we are not carrying gold, silver and jewelry, so I wonder why you are blocking our way. ”

Hearing An Lushan's words, he saw a person among the mountain bandits, and laughed loudly, "We are mountain bandits, do we need a reason to come out and rob the road?" ”

After speaking, the mountain bandit immediately raised his machete and said loudly, "Brothers, destroy all these people." We won't have to worry about it in the future! This is what the adults themselves promised! ”

Most of them, mountain bandits, didn't know about Yang Guozhong's existence. All they knew was that their boss seemed to be loyal to an important courtier, and most of their daily living expenses were provided by this mysterious lord. So, after hearing that it was the adult's own promise. The bandits immediately stopped suspecting it. Suddenly, all of them rushed towards An Lushan and them. After all, these people are in the grass, and they are just for money.

Seeing these mountain bandits rushing up in front, before An Lushan and them could make a move, they heard a killing cry from behind. Hearing the sound, they all looked back, but saw that two or three hundred men were also rushing towards them from behind.

Seeing this scene, An Lushan immediately decided, "Everyone disperse and flee to the mountains on both sides!" With that, he led a part of the people and immediately rushed to the hill on the left.

And those mountain bandits who had already rushed over, after a little hesitation after seeing this scene, also chased after the mountains on both sides in two ways.

At the same time, those archers who were hiding on both sides of the mountain, saw An Lushan's people rushing up the mountain. He didn't care about the mountain bandits who were following behind, and hurriedly shot arrows to try to stop the other party's momentum.

However, these guards who followed An Lushan knew that once they stopped, they would be chased by the mountain bandits behind, and there would really be no way to survive at all. Therefore, no one dared to stop, even in the face of these sharp arrows, they could only rush towards the mountain.

The archers on the hill saw that the opponent not only did not stop, but the offensive became more fierce, and they had no choice but to retreat. After all, the archers of these mountain bandits are not as well-equipped as the archers of the military.

The only weapons of these men are bows and arrows. Except for the bow and arrow, there is not even a dagger, so when they see the other party rushing up, they can only choose to retreat. After all, no matter how stupid they are, it is impossible for them to hold a bow and arrow to fight each other in close combat~

As a result, there was a strange scene on the mountain, the archers in the front were fleeing to prevent being caught up by An Lushan's people, and An Lushan and his guards in the middle were also running desperately to prevent being caught up by the mountain bandits in the rear. However, the mountain bandits at the back did not dare to chase too quickly, so as not to be affected by the sharp arrows that were fired from time to time in front of them.

The three groups of people, just like this, chased one side and soon reached the top of the hill, but the three parties still did not stop. Seeing this scene, several mountain bandit leaders who caught up in the rear immediately scolded the archers fleeing in front, urging them to block An Lushan and others, and at the same time not let them shoot arrows, so as not to accidentally injure their own people.

Hearing the order, the archers who were fleeing and fighting in front of them had no choice but to stop and want to resist these guards of An Lushan. However, by now, although there were only seventy or eighty of An Lushan's guards left, and because they had fled separately before, there were only thirty or forty people on each side. However, whether it is the armor, weapons, or strength of these people, they are far from being comparable to the mountain bandits.

Therefore, as soon as those archers came into contact with An Lushan's guards, more than 20 people were killed in seconds. Seeing this scene, the other archers did not dare to stop any longer, and fled desperately towards the front. After all, these people were only recently recruited to the cottage, and they are not very loyal to the cottage.

Seeing this scene, the leaders of the several mountain bandits who were chasing An Lushan and others in the rear, although they were very angry, they couldn't stop the people in front of them now, and they could only keep urging the mountain bandits beside them to catch up quickly.

However, because of the arrows constantly shooting in front, the mountain bandits chasing behind did not dare to get too close to An Lushan's men and horses, after all, these sharp arrows could not distinguish between the enemy and me.

Therefore, the three groups of them still followed the previous situation, and did not stop after reaching the top of the mountain, but continued to rush forward.

After climbing over the hills, there is a mountain forest on the opposite side. Seeing this scene, several mountain bandit leaders who were chasing closely behind suddenly became anxious. If this situation continues, I am afraid that it will not be long before the people of An Lushan will enter the dense woods ahead.

Once in the woods, it would have been easy for them to escape. Thinking of this, the leaders glanced at each other. Almost at the same time, he picked up speed and rushed forward. They all knew in their hearts that once An Lushan escaped, their end would definitely be very tragic. When the time comes, even if Yang Guozhong is gracious and does not dispose of them. But there will never be so much support for them like now.
