Li Yuanhao was careless this time, because he underestimated the combat effectiveness of these Jurchens in the Baishan Battalion. So when I came, I only brought a dozen relatives.

In Li Yuanhao's view, even if the defenders of Xiping Mansion are poor, they can fight with the regular army of the Great Song Dynasty, and these private soldiers under Chen Yuan will inevitably not be more powerful than the regular army of the Song Dynasty. But I never expected that after several confrontations, hundreds of people were lost, not to mention, and they were actually killed by Chen Yuan!

Seeing the more than twenty horsemen fleeing all the way to the northwest, Li Yuanhao suddenly smiled: "Hahaha! Chen Shimei, so daring! ”

The northwest direction is now the battlefield where he fought against the Liao, where the party soldiers are deployed layer by layer, and it can be said that it is quite difficult to escape from there. But it is precisely because of this that when he notified the counties and counties of the party on all sides last night to be strictly armed, he did not impose strict requirements on the northwest side.

However, Li Yuanhao didn't shoot, because the party members also have their own unique way of communication, and he can guarantee that before Chen Yuan arrives in the next town, that town will be ready!

Li Yuanhao showed a smile: "Running to the northwest? Then I'm just on the way! ”

When the party members began to pursue again, it was not yet the time for Chen Yuan's estimated tea. The distance between the two sides is only more than ten miles, and it is good to say that when they encounter a mountain col or something, if they pass through the plain, Chen Yuan and the others can even see the dust raised by the pursuers behind them all the way.

More than 20 people ran hard, not only to deal with the pursuers behind, but also to always pay attention to whether there was an interception in front. This road was completely unfamiliar to these twenty people, and they all relied on the map in Chen Yuan's arms as a guide.

So although I can't even rest for two hours a day, five or six days have passed, and I still can't get rid of Li Yuanhao's pursuit.

The biggest problem of the away battle was immediately exposed, the war horse under their crotch can no longer withstand such a run, since the day before yesterday, there have been war horses killed, and today, the two of them ride a horse.

If you continue like this, you will never be able to escape!

After wading through a river, Chen Yuan opened the map again on horseback. They should have arrived at Dahengshui now, and if they go more than 200 miles further, it will be the three passes of the Song Dynasty!

Chen Yuan glanced back, they were tired of running in the past few days, but Li Yuanhao chased as hard, so he didn't see the shadow of the chasing soldiers when he turned around.

"Let's take a break!" Chen Yuan gave the order, and all the horses immediately stopped, and some people even had too much effort to get off the horse, so they plunged down directly from the horse's back, and fell on the grass panting heavily.

Sister Li'er's face was even paler: "Shopkeeper, can we run away?" ”

This is a question that everyone wants to ask, but a group of big men prefer to hide the question they want to know the answer to the most. In contrast, women are much simpler, they can cry when they are scared and cry when they are hurt. But men are different, they know that they are running on a desperate road, and they have to hold on.

Chen Yuan looked at Sister Li and forced a smile: "Don't worry, we are almost at the border now." ”

Sister Li smiled, sat on the ground and spread her legs, looking at the sun above her head and smiled sincerely. This answer can satisfy Sister Li, but Hu Yanping and others know that coming to the border means that they are about to arrive at the place where the party's heavy troops are gathered!

Hu Yanping stepped forward slowly: "Sister-in-law, where are we going?" ”

Chen Yuan looked at the map and whispered: "We go directly to the west is the border town of Xinqin in the Great Song Dynasty, where is the defensive area of the Baode Army, and now the general of the Baode Army is Ren Fu, I have had a few encounters with him, if we go somewhere, he will definitely not hand us over to Li Yuanhao." Another way is to continue north, passing through the three passes into the Song Dynasty. This is the path I originally wanted to take, because the battlefield can erase all traces of what we left in the party. But it's not needed anymore. ”

Hu Yanping said: "Then we will go to Xinqin now?" ”

Chen Yuan said playfully: "Go to Xinqin? Li Yuanhao won't let us pass! We haven't encountered any decent interceptions along the way these days, and in addition to the correct path we have chosen, I think it has something to do with Li Yuanhao's arrangement. He must be trying to kill us at the border. ”

Hu Yanping looked at Chen Yuan: "Then what should we do?" ”

Chen Yuan's voice was very low: "Let's go to the three levels as well!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a brother shouting, "Here we are!" The pursuers are coming! ”

Chen Yuan looked back, and sure enough, he saw a group of party cavalry appearing on the horizon in front of him, led by Li Yuanhao. Immediately scolded angrily: "Damn! I don't know if let's rest a little longer! Get on your horse and keep going, brothers, north! ”

The three passes were originally the three passes of the Song Dynasty.

It stands to reason that Chen Yuan should be safe when he runs to the border. But now the situation is completely different, because of Chen Yuan's plan to "clean up the altars and jars, and let the party and the Khitans fight in the ring", the three passes of the Song Dynasty retreated back fifty or sixty miles as a whole.

As a result, the area was now almost entirely occupied by party troops, and when more than 20 people ran until dark, they found that they really had no way to go. Wherever there is a road, there are party troops, and wherever people can walk, they are guarded to death.

The pursuers behind him became tighter and tighter, and in desperation, Chen Yuan and the others abandoned their horses again and jumped into the mountains and forests, relying on the dense forests of the mountains and forests to barely move forward.

And Li Yuanhao sent several troops into the mountains and forests to search, he was unwilling to make the last mistake again, and he was unwilling to leave Chen Yuan a little more time.

This time, not only the troops from Xiping Mansion brought by Li Yuanhao, but also several front-line troops of the Liao State who were fighting here, under the leadership of Yeli Wangrong, also joined the pursuit of Chen Yuan.

The combat ability of these people is several times stronger than that of the troops of Xiping Province, and their ability to search and track is also quite skillful. Chen Yuan and the others jumped in the dense forest for a day, not only did they not find a way out, but they also faced the danger of being surrounded by the other party.

As night fell, everyone almost fell into despair, including Chen Yuan.

He is desperate because he still lacks a kind of courage when he has no way out, and that courage is not the cry of a frontal battle on the battlefield, not the struggle when it is dangerous, and the courage never to give up in the predicament of immortality. That kind of courage is a kind of spirit that knows that it will die, but has no hesitation! This spirit is not something that anyone can give you, you have to find a reason for yourself, a reason to rather die than fight!

He's going to find it soon.

The afterglow of dusk was almost unrecognizable when it entered the forest, and everyone was surprised to find that a little spark suddenly appeared in front of them, as if it were a stockade. In such an environment and in such a mood, that little spark ignited a glimmer of hope in the hearts of Chen Yuan and others. Maybe it's a party unit, or maybe it's not, you have to go over and see it.

They don't have the strength now, they have to go and see.

It's a small village, and a group of hunters live in it. These people were originally residents of the Great Song Dynasty, because this was originally the land of the Great Song Dynasty. Because of Chen Yuan, they are now in the hands of the party.

But it doesn't seem to make any difference to them, life is exactly the same as before, hunting, surviving.

It's just as if, in the real heart, the pain of being suddenly ruled by the barbarians, the sadness of the people who lost the country, they can only bury it deep in their hearts, this is the grass people, the real grass people.

When Chen Yuan and more than 20 of them came to the gate of the village, more than a dozen young men surrounded them with knives and forks: "Stop, who are you?" ”

The woman in the stockade hurriedly hugged her child, and immediately turned around and went back to the dilapidated grass hut.

There were more and more men around, and Chen Yuan and the others were very nervous, leaning close together, ready to deal with the unexpected at any time.

A strong man in his forties lined up the crowd in front of him and squeezed in, looked at the party uniforms on Chen Yuan and others, and immediately clasped his fists and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, we are safe and stable hunters, hunting here all the year round for a living, a few days ago, your people have already checked, we have also paid the military rations that should be paid, there is indeed nothing in the stockade, and please let us live." ”

Chen Yuan hesitated, although this person's eyes were fierce, but they revealed a kind of kindness, he decided to tell the truth and gamble!

"Our people from the Song Dynasty, there are party members chasing us behind, can you take us in?"

The man was stunned for a moment, and walked in to look at Chen Yuan. After a while, he asked, "Are you Song Jun?" ”

Chen Yuan nodded.

The man did not hesitate at all: "Of course! Brothers, take all the military masters in! ”

Chen Yuan and the others were overjoyed: "Thank you, big brother!" ”

The man smiled: "We have a passage in the back, which can go directly to the outside of the stockade, and there is enough food and water in the passage, and you can go in and eat your fill." If you hear movement from above, just run out of the passage. ”

A woman quietly walked over and pulled the man's shoulder: "Boss,"

The woman didn't say anything, but her worry was clearly portrayed on her face. The Orion patted the woman's hand: "It's all right, brothers, what to do!" It's as if the military men never came! ”

Chen Yuan was very grateful, and made a big gift with his fists in his hands: "Thank you, big brother!" ”

The Orion personally led the way, sent Chen Yuan and the others to the door of the passage, and opened the hidden gate: "Go down, don't thank me for anything, if you can bring this place back, I will thank you!" Alas, my ancestors have been Song people for several lifetimes, and they have lived with us for decades, and suddenly they have become party members! Those dog officials in the court are all bastards! ”

Rao is Chen Yuan's skin is thick enough, and he also feels that his ears are hot. Is that really wrong? He couldn't help but ask himself.

I haven't rested long in the tunnel, and suddenly I heard a noisy sound from above, and I didn't need to look to know that it was the party who searched for it. Chen Yuan hurriedly put some food in his clothes: "Hurry up!" ”

Although the tunnel was very hidden, there were dozens of people on it, and Chen Yuan didn't dare to guarantee that each and every one of them would be willing to keep his mouth shut!
