Yang Tao was frightened, anxious and angry, jumped on his horse, killed several people who wanted to follow and escape on the spot, and desperately shouted: "Hold on, hold ...... steady."

It's a pity that his hoarse voice was like a pebble thrown into the sea, and there were no ripples at all. The shouts of killing were getting closer and closer, and stray arrows began to shoot in their ears one after another.

"It's the Qiang people, the Qiang people have rebelled!"

"I'm afraid there are tens of thousands of people in Japan, and the brothers can't resist it!"

"General Yang is here, wait for us to stabilize, and then hack those Qiang dogs to death!"

When the army's morale was unstable, many defeated Jin soldiers rushed to rush to the road, shouting for a while, and Yang Tao understood what was going on. Under the banner, the number of Jin troops has increased again, but the scene is even more chaotic.

Lao Ding is also a person who broke through the pile of dead people, knowing that in such a situation, he still has to expect a counterattack on the spot, I am afraid that there is no hope. He tiptoed to look out, and saw that under the firelight that was getting closer and closer, countless figures were rushing around, so he hurriedly said to Yang Tao: "General, the situation is urgent, it is better to gather the soldiers and retreat for the time being, and then reason after the army's morale has stabilized." ”

Yang Tao immediately said: "Okay, I have this intention." He threw his horse's head back and cried out hoarsely, "Brothers! We were suddenly attacked, the enemy is fierce, everyone and I will temporarily retreat thirty miles, save the vitality, everyone rest assured, I will not be like the surnamed Ren, leave my brothers alone. ”

The nearly 1,000 Jin soldiers who were in a state of turmoil listened to the main general's words, so they looked at it together, and then they all shouted: "Swear to follow the general!" ”

Yang Tao didn't bother anymore, nodded to Lao Ding, Lao Ding stepped forward in two steps and pulled up the flag, Yang Tao turned his horse and left.

As soon as he took two steps, a voice shouted from behind: "The main general of the Jin army is here, where to escape!" Then countless figures, as if suddenly emerging from the ground, rushed over like a tide, and the swords and spears in their hands were reflected in the firelight, piercing the eyes. The Jin army hurriedly quickened its pace and fled. However, the pursuers behind him identified the target, and the number of people chasing them became more and more, and even the front was already being intercepted.

Yang Tao drove his horse and led the crowd to rush forward to kill, he saw that most of the enemy troops were wrapped in blue headscarves and fur hats, or draped in braided hair, and the blades were mostly scimitars shaped like big sickles, and he thought that it was indeed the local Qiang people who were causing trouble. Yang Tao was in a panic, still puzzled, Yinping County had just been conquered by the Longxi army, and he had never heard of any riots, but he had just come and encountered such a large-scale Qiang rebellion?

It's just a matter of rebellion. But this night attack was obviously premeditated and organized, and the timing was accurate, and the offensive was precise and sharp, unlike the usual style of the Qiang people like wild people, they already had the feeling of a regular army.

The sound of swishing breaking through the air came, and there were Jin soldiers around him who kept screaming and falling to the ground. Yang Tao leaned down, turned his head and saw countless Qiang soldiers holding crossbows in the firelight!

Yang Tao was shocked, the hand* crossbow is a medium-range weapon with extremely lethality, it is said that even Yang Maosou, the king of Di, does not have a hundred pieces, and where is the equipment that Yinping and these Qiang people can have. These are definitely not ordinary Qiang people, could it be that someone is disguised?

The situation was critical, and there were more and more enemy troops, so he could not calm down and scrutinize carefully. The Jin army around him has begun to decrease significantly, and there are no more than 700 people left, and the enemy army in front of him has been killed again and again, and Yang Tao can't even let go of the horse speed.

After walking and running for a while, Yang Tao was already injured. The enemy behind him is still in pursuit, these people are running and jumping on the flat ground, and sure enough, they are as agile and good as the Qiang people, and the speed is fast, it should be true and true, but where did the hand * crossbow come from? Yang Tao was in a panic and confused, lying on his horse and swaying, only to feel that his head was about to explode.

A Qiang soldier screamed, caught up in a few steps, and knocked the last few Jin soldiers to the ground, blood splashed all over his face, but it seemed to stimulate the wildness even more, the Qiang soldier roared endlessly, and even countless Qiang soldiers screamed, which made people more and more frightened.

Lao Ding shouted beside Yang Tao: "General! It's urgent, you quickly get off your horse and flee secretly, I'll get on my horse and lead the enemy away! ”

Yang Tao couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he heard this, gritted his teeth and said, "No! How can I do such unrighteousness! ”

Lao Ding was also a person with strong legs, and after running a few steps, he stopped Yang Tao, without saying a word, he pulled Yang Tao off the horse regardless of his dignity and humility, and said hurriedly: "At such a critical moment, don't blame me for being rude, general, you hurry up, otherwise we will die in vain!" ”

Next to him, there were more than 200 bloody brave men, who also shouted, saying that the general was unwilling to abandon us, and now we were willing to sacrifice their lives to stop the pursuing soldiers to repay the general.

Yang Tao's eyes swept over the crowd with their arms crossed, and finally landed on Lao Ding's vicissitudes of life, the face that used to always have humble low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, but now under the beating firelight, he actually shot * fine light, full of pride, and the body has become much more majestic.

This is a confidant brother who is regarded as a sibling, so he can watch him die! Yang Tao's lips trembled, tears flowed, and he was speechless for a while.

Lao Ding clenched the steel knife and smiled miserably at Yang Tao, "The general saved my life back then, and today, Ding will return his life to the general!" After that, Lao Ding turned over his horse, made people raise the flag, roared loudly, and turned around and killed the enemy.

"The rebellious general of the Great Jin Dynasty is here, and the thieves and prisoners who are in trouble will be sent to death quickly!"

With Lao Ding's angry shouting, two hundred Jin soldiers who dared to die also roared, and the momentum was great for a while.

Yang Tao barely calmed down, took less than 500 people, and fled north with all his heart, only running to a place where there were few people. The night was getting darker and darker, but the panic of the people was much calmer. After a while, there was a sudden burst of shouts and cheers behind him, and some Jin soldiers looked back while walking, and then dared to step forward and said sadly: "General, that is the cheers of the enemy, our general flag has been cut down, Ding Duwei he, I'm afraid it's ......."

"Say no more!"

Yang Tao burst into tears, and didn't dare to look back at all, just wanting to bite the steel teeth and swallow them into his stomach. He felt both guilty and aggrieved in his heart, and a nameless fire was rising, but he didn't know how to vent, so he just fled north.

Even dodging and dodging, I walked for two hours, and I didn't see a single Qiang army. There are only more than 300 people left in this group of Jin soldiers. Supporting and pulling each other, everyone either dropped their helmets or scattered their legs, most of them had no armor to wear, and their single clothes were shivering. No one spoke, they all walked forward with their heads bowed, and last night's battle seemed to be a nightmare, making people feel unreal, but the current scene was an extremely real and cruel reminder that it was not a dream.

When Yang Tao thought of Lao Ding, his heart seemed to be twisted. An unintentional helping hand back then turned out to be an escape today. I don't know if it's fate or karma, but he would rather not have this kind of heartbreaking fate, he still has illusions, thinking that at some point, Lao Ding will ride a horse and raise a whip and catch up from behind.

"General, General!"

The continuous call woke Yang Tao from his contemplation. A few soldiers who were exploring the way in front hurriedly ran over and reported with a strange expression: "General, I waited at the edge of a small forest less than two miles ahead, and found it, and found General Ren. ”

When Yang Tao heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, "General Ren? Ren Hua? ”

"Yes, General Ren seems to be the only one left, but he is stuck in the quagmire. After I found out from afar, I didn't come forward, so I came to report to the general first. ”

When many Jin soldiers heard this, they all surrounded them.

"In order to buy people's hearts, even the sentries dare to call them back to sleep, hey! Ren Hua is heartless. ”

"The surnamed Ren turned around and ran without saying a word, neither informing everyone nor leading the crowd to resist, which ruined morale."

"Dogs, it's not okay to fight, it's the first thing to run away, waste!"

"Stuck in the mud? Deserve! If it weren't for him, how would we have ended up in this field! ”

The Jin soldiers shouted in a big voice. In fact, the defeat was also due to the Jin army's own reasons, which were caught off guard and negligent, so that the well-prepared enemy could easily get their hands on it. But now in such a situation, no one can't help but be angry and hate Ren Hua. Ren Hua really shouldn't have ridden his horse and fled by himself when he was attacked just now, not thinking about his duties and obligations as a deputy general of the whole army at all.

Everyone scolded angrily, but Yang Tao said expressionlessly: "Lead the way ahead, let's go and see." ”
