The officer walked back and forth on the castle tower and shouted to the hungry people below: "Just pick on the nearby mountains, and don't go to Shuanghuai Town and Taihe Town, the enemy army is stationed there, and many of the people who fled to those directions before were killed by random arrows, so don't go over." In addition, do not go up the mountain, let alone try to escape over the mountain, because Tanma has ascertained that there are enemy troops deployed on the mountains around Hezhou, and judging from the situation in the past few days, the enemy army will not harm or interfere with the people who are digging wild vegetables below the mountain, but those who have crossed the mountain will be driven down, and those who try to escape over the mountain will be shot. So I hope folks don't take any chances! ”

The officer repeated this several times before he gave the order to open the gates.

As soon as the city gate opened, the hungry people under the city tower began to slowly swarm in the direction of the city gate tower. The soldiers on both sides shouted loudly not to mess around.

Because Zuo Shaoyang had the title of a model for supporting the army, the hungry people next to him did not dare to squeeze him, and took Miao Peilan and Li Dazhuang, who were disguised as men, out of the city smoothly.

As soon as the hungry people left the city, they scattered and scrambled to run up the surrounding hills. There are also some people who run along the official road in the direction of Shuanghuai Town. It seems that this part of the people does not believe in evil, and still hopes that the enemy army will not kill the people, and is ready to flee into Shuanghuai Town, so that there is a way to live.

Zuo Shaoyang's leg was injured and he couldn't walk fast, so the three of them slowly fell behind and walked forward along the official road. After walking for about half an hour, there was a canyon in front of you. Miao Peilan said: "Brother Zuo, I'm going to Guiguling soon." ”

The official road they took was built along the Shijing River, with a hillside on one side and a river valley on the other, and the rushing Shijing River penetrated into the Guigu Ridge, the river narrowed, the flow speed was very rapid, and it hit the boulder by the river, and the roar was deafening.

Zuo Shaoyang could only ask loudly: "Is there honeysuckle on Guigu Ridge?" ”

"A lot, when it blooms, a mountain is silvery white and very beautiful."

"Where?"

"On the slopes of the valley, what is not visible here, you have to enter the valley to see ......"

As soon as he said this, he heard a noise of people in the distance, and a large crowd of hungry people rushed back, screaming and crying. It was the group of hungry people who were in front of the crowd and were about to flee to Shuanghuai Town.

All three were taken aback and stood on the side of the road watching. Miao Peilan had already put down the basket and quietly took out the firewood knife and held it.

The hungry people ran by, and Zuo Shaoyang asked, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”

A hungry man recognized him as a model for supporting the army, and said urgently: "Model Zuo, go back quickly, there are enemy troops stationed in the Guiguling Pass, and all the people who approach will release arrows, and more than a dozen have been killed!" They're chasing us with cavalry! ”

Zuo Shaoyang looked up, and sure enough, he saw a team of cavalry driving the people over from a distance, and one after another shooting arrows came over, not shooting at the crowd, just driving away, and those who ran out of the queue and ran up the mountain were shot to death.

Li Dazhuang hurriedly said, "Young Master, let's run quickly, shall we?" Miao Peilan didn't say anything, just waiting for Zuo Shaoyang's decision.

Zuo Shaoyang waved his hand and said, "Wait, don't worry, the enemy doesn't seem to be chasing anymore." Stood still. ”

"Really?" Both of them were busy tiptoeing into the distance, and sure enough, the enemy had already reined in their horses' heads, and they were just shouting and warning loudly.

After these hungry people ran over, the enemy reined in and prepared to go back, Zuo Shaoyang said: "Go!" ”

Li Dazhuang was taken aback: "Young master, don't go over, the enemy will release arrows!" ”

"If we don't go, we won't be able to get the medicine we need!" Zuo Shaoyang observed it carefully and said in a low voice, "Let's go over like this, they shouldn't just release the arrows." Follow me, watch me, if you can fool the past, go over, otherwise, they only have four enemies, Perran, you pay attention, as long as you see that the momentum is not right, do it immediately! They are all archers, only bows and arrows without swords, and as long as we get close, their bows and arrows will not work. - Don't talk, put down the basket, and do as I do! ”

After that, Zuo Shaoyang walked forward with crutches in one hand and briskly with the other, shouting in his mouth: "Don't release arrows!" I have something to say! ”

Miao Peilan also hurriedly put down the back basket, and when she saw him holding up one hand, she also raised one hand and followed behind. Li Dazhuang was very frightened, but it was not good to run away alone, gritted his teeth, put down the back basket, and learned to raise one hand to follow.

The four enemy archers and cavalry saw the three refugees coming with one hand raised, and they didn't know what was going on, and seeing that there were only three of them, one of them was still a lame man on crutches, and he had no weapons on his body. ”

Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "I'm Langzhong, I have two patients who are dying, I want to go up the mountain to collect medicine, this kind of medicine is only available on the Guigu Ridge behind, can a few brothers be accommodating, let us go over to collect medicine, and we will go back to the city after collecting medicine, and we will definitely not run around." ”

Several archers discussed it, and one said in a loud voice: "Lang Zhong can't collect medicine, go back immediately!" ”

Zuo Shaoyang walked a few steps forward with a hand raised on crutches: "Please, this medicine is very important, if you can't collect it, both patients will die!" ”

"No! If you say no, you can't! Go back now, and let the arrows go any further! An archer waved his longbow.

Zuo Shaoyang stood still, and was about to continue pleading, when an archer suddenly snorted, rode over, and looked him up and down: "Are you Langzhong?" ”

"yes?"

"Where's Langzhong?"

"Your ......, well, I'm a Lang apprentice from Huimin Hall."

The remaining three archers also rode over and asked, "What's the matter?" Is there something wrong? ”

The previous archer nodded, continued to look Zuo Shaoyang up and down, and said to the other three archers, "Haven't you heard? A few days ago, the officers and soldiers in the city rewarded a 'model of supporting the army', a young man, what is Guizhitang, I heard that the kid went into battle to treat the wounded, that's all, and one person killed twenty-eight of our brothers, for which he was seriously wounded in the leg! - Could it be him? ”

Zuo Shaoyang secretly complained to himself and shouted loudly: "How could I kill someone? I haven't even killed a chicken......" Looking at Miao Peilan out of the corner of her eye, Miao Peilan took advantage of the gap when Zuo Shaoyang spoke to attract the attention of the enemy and quietly approached from the side.

The archers stared at Zuo Shaoyang and shouted, "Just take them all back and torture them!" ”

Saying that, the archer who wielded the longbow just now immediately drew his arrows and prepared to be on guard, and the other three came over to arrest people, among the three of them, because Li Dazhuang was the tallest, two of them grabbed Li Dazhuang, and the other grabbed Zuo Shaoyang, and temporarily ignored the thin Miao Peilan.

This neglect was fatal to the four enemy troops.

Miao Peilan had no weapon in her hand, and the only firewood knife was placed in the basket in the distance, and she didn't have time to get it, and saw the enemy army with a bow and arrow standing on the side of the road on horseback, and below was the galloping Shijing River.

Miao Peilan rushed up with an arrow step, pushed out with both palms, and with a bang, the enemy army who was on guard with arrows and horses flew down the official road, and in the scream, he landed on the rocky beach by the river valley, just head down, and suddenly his brain burst and died. The war horse also fell and could not get up, and neighed loudly.

The remaining three enemy soldiers were taken aback, and when they looked back, Miao Peilan had already stepped forward, grabbed one of the enemy's waists and legs, and threw the enemy off the horse with a stroke of luck, and fell far into the rushing water of the Shijing River, and a few ups and downs disappeared.

Another enemy had already taken out his bow, and he didn't have time to draw his arrows, so he blocked Miao Peilan with his horse's head and didn't let him come, and the enemy's attention was all on Miao Peilan, and Li Dazhuang, who was not paying attention, pounced on the enemy from behind and hugged the enemy and threw him off the horse. The helmet also flew, Li Dazhuang grabbed his hair and hit his head on the ground, this area of the official road was dug out of the stone wall, the ground was full of stones, Li Dazhuang also had great strength, and in a few strokes, the enemy's head had broken and bled out, and his brain burst to death.

Miao Peilan turned around to catch the last enemy, but the enemy had already turned his horse's head and ran back, so he heard a bang, the horse lost its front hooves, and even the man and the horse fell to the ground, and his head hit a boulder on the side of the road, his neck was broken, and he died on the spot.

But it turned out that Zuo Shaoyang saw that he was about to run away on his horse, so he hurriedly stretched out the crutches in his hand and mixed the enemy with a horse that lost its front hooves, the momentum was too great, and he fell to his death on the boulder on the side of the road. The horse got up and galloped away.

After these few falls, the three of them were prepared first, and almost simultaneously attacked, and together they killed four enemy archers. When fighting, I forgot to be afraid, and saw three corpses lying on the spot, so I felt afraid, Miao Peilan had already experienced this kind of scene, it was better, Zuo Shaoyang was originally a doctor, he was used to seeing life and death, and he had also experienced life and death fighting, but Li Dazhuang encountered it for the first time, and he killed one person with his own hands, and at this moment, the two trembled, and sat on the ground weakly.

Zuo Shaoyang said to Miao Peilan: "Hurry up and throw all the corpses into the river, don't let other enemies see it, we will be miserable - by the way, remember to cut off your ears, and there will be a bounty when you go back!" ”

Miao Peilan hurriedly shook her head, and asked Miao Peilan to kill the enemy, she dared, it was because the enemy wanted to kill herself or her sweetheart, and she had no choice but to take action, but she was asked to cut off the enemy's ears to invite rewards, but she didn't do it.

Li Dazhuang, who was sitting on the ground, heard that there was a bounty, and hurriedly got up: "I'll cut it!" Li Dazhuang ran over and took the two baskets, took out the firewood knife, and had the courage to cut off the ears of the two corpses on the road, and then went down to the river valley to cut off the ears of the corpse that fell to death, and asked Zuo Shaoyang: "Young master, this ear has been cut off, what should I do?" ”

Zuo Shaoyang said: "After I go back, hand it over to Fan Teamzheng and ask him to help invite merit and reward." A pair of ears consistently money too! ”

Li Dazhuang was pleasantly surprised: "Really? Great, it just so happened that the three of us killed one by one, and everyone was consistent, hehe, it's a pity that the one that Pei Lan threw into the river was washed away, otherwise it would have been more consistent! As he spoke, he put his ear in the basket.
