Since chatting with Princess Zhuoma across the river, Li Ang took more than 30 of his men to the east, and if he had divine help along the way, he could skillfully avoid the pursuit of the Tibetan soldiers and horses every time.

On the eighth day, Li Ang and the others broke into Xiaoxiangshan without danger. This mountain is named after the purple wildflowers that bloom in the ravines, and the fragrance fills the mountain.

When they arrived here, everyone hid in the mountains and forests to eat, both excited and nervous.

Murong Heshun said: "Li Bingcao, from Xiaoxiang Mountain to the east, through the grassland thirty or forty miles wide, is Chiling. However, it is not easy to cross this grassland dozens of miles wide, usually Tubo has sent a large number of rangers to patrol, and now Dazarugon has added a lot of horses to patrol, once our whereabouts are exposed, we will immediately be besieged by the enemy. ”

Li Ang took the water bladder, rinsed his mouth with a puff, and then said: "When we get here, we have no way to retreat, act immediately after dark, rush through the grassland in the east as fast as possible, cross the red ridge, and we will arrive home." ”

As soon as I heard that I was about to go home, everyone was like an arrow in their hearts and spirits.

Wang Guangguang touched the scar on his forehead, looked at the sun outside the woods, and longed to reach out and drag the sun down the mountain.

Even Hua Qiu, who has always seemed indifferent to anything, said quite excitedly: "Those turtle grandsons of our Anren Army must think that we died at the hands of the Tubo people, and when we go back, the expressions of those turtle grandsons must be very exciting, hahaha......"

"Damn, this time we killed Dazaru Gong's 50,000 army and fled back in a hurry, and those turtle grandsons didn't know how to take advantage of the victory to pursue and take Dafeichuan in one fell swoop! You want to. The backyard of Tubo was killed by us and howled wolf, although Dazarugon withdrew the army of 50,000. But morale was lost, and there was a shortage of food and grass. If our army takes the opportunity to kill Chiling, it will definitely not be difficult to take Dafeichuan! It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity to waste such a good opportunity! Nie Feng picked at his nose and shouted pity.

Lin Dayu said: "If you want to send troops on a large scale, how can it be as easy as you say to take Dafeichuan?" When we came out, Wang Jiedu had not yet arrived, the three armies had no commanders, and there was no preparation in advance, so there was not enough food and grass. The army hastily killed Chiling, what to eat? ”

Lin Dayu's words are quite reasonable, like the 10,000 garrisons of the Anren Army, in fact, there are only 350 cavalry, and they are mainly used as scouts in peacetime. An expedition with infantry is not possible without adequate food and grass preparation.

In particular, the enemy is a nomadic people who live by water, and the army and civilians withdraw quickly, so it is difficult to feed the enemy. Once there is no food and grass, the army will be defeated.

Leon did not participate in such discussions. He interrupted everyone and said: "Don't fight, you have enough spirits, maybe there will be a hard battle at night, and you will return to Longyou." It's not too late for you to argue. ”

Li Ang spoke, and everyone immediately shut up, except for the necessary police posts. Everyone slept in the woods, but most of them still couldn't sleep. It's almost home! This time it's out. turned Tubo upside down, and captured Tubo. As long as I can go back, it's a great achievement! Who can not be satisfied with longing?

Finally, at dusk, everyone got up one after another, first feasted a full meal, and then wrapped the horse's hooves and strangled the horse's mouth.......

"Let's go home!"

At the twilight, Li Ang gave an order, and rode out of Xiaoxiang Mountain in his thirties, galloping eastward, the night wind was howling, the night was vast, and the footsteps of returning home were so eager, and the dull sound of horses' hooves flew over the grassland.

As soon as they galloped out of six or seven miles, they met the Tubo rangers, and the two sides staggered across half a mile, and the Tubo rangers immediately turned around and chased wildly, constantly shouting, Li Ang and they did not make any response, and kept beating the war horses to accelerate, and the other party immediately blew the horn.

Woo!

Woo!

………

The sound of trumpets spread in the night, and soon, the trumpets responded from time to time in the distance, and it was clear that the Tibetan patrolmen were all alarmed, and were encircling Li Ang and them.

"Quick! There are still more than twenty miles, rush over, and we will be able to go home! ”

"Quick!"

Li Ang kept roaring, and more than thirty horsemen followed him to the east, and rushed out for three or four miles, and there were Tibetan rangers in front of him, numbering about twenty people.

At Li Ang's behest, Murong Heshun and his subordinates who could speak Tubo shouted in unison: "Li Ang appeared in Xiaoxiangshan, General Enlan has an order, everyone immediately rushed to Xiaoxiangshan to besiege the enemy!" ”

Murong and Shun kept shouting repeatedly, and as soon as the Tubo rangers in front hesitated, Li Ang and them flew past not far away, their speed like the wind.

It wasn't until the group of Tibetan rangers who were chasing after them caught up that the group of Tibetans reacted and joined the pursuit one after another......

The sound of hooves behind them was like thunder, the difference was only about a mile, and there was a tendency to chase closer and closer, and Li Ang and the others were desperately whipping their war horses, but they still couldn't get rid of the enemy's pursuit; And just on the hillside in front of them, there were bursts of trumpets and trumpets, and a large fire was ignited.

There was a siege in front and a chasing army in the rear, and the situation became extremely dangerous, once it was slightly dragged by the enemy, a large number of Tibetan cavalry would soon surround and kill. At this critical moment, Hua Qiu yelled urgently: "You can't rush through like this!" We must be separated, or we will all die here tonight!" ”

Li Ang immediately made a decision, and immediately ordered: "Everyone disperse immediately, and when we get rid of the enemy and enter Chiling, we will meet at the beacon tower when we set off, quickly!" ”

At this order, more than thirty horsemen immediately dispersed with a hula, each rushing towards one side, and quickly disappeared into the night.

The Tubo people who were chasing after them were dumbfounded, and they couldn't see the situation in front of them clearly after a mile, and when they caught up, Li Ang and them had already dissipated into the night like grains of sand.

After a little hesitation, the Tubo people blew the horn again, and then divided their troops to pursue, and the grassland in the night, light horses competed, and plundered.

By Li Ang's side, only Wu Xuan was left, although his left arm was not completely good, but he didn't worry about Li Ang alone, and followed closely, and Tubo Da Mang Bu Zhi was gagged and tied to the horse.

Then there is Tinker Bell, which can detect the enemy's traces in advance with its sensitive sense of hearing and smell, while Li Ang and they only have two horses, the target is small, and they cover the horse's hooves, so it is easier to avoid the Tibetan cavalry in the night.

The two of them were sometimes lurking, sometimes galloping, and the Tibetan rangers were more and more, whistling past with torches, and Li Ang and the two were cautious, taking advantage of the gap in the enemy's search, and it took nearly an hour to finally successfully break through to Chiling.

Above the Red Ridge, the mountains are undulating, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, and when they get here, Li Ang and they are basically safe. Standing on the ridge and looking back to the west, I saw the sparks flying over the grassland, and the sound of the horn was faintly heard.

"Let's hope everyone comes back safe and sound." Leon said sincerely.

Wu Xuan breathed a long sigh of relief, for him, Li Ang was fine, and the heart he was carrying was put down; As for whether others can get through this final hurdle, it can only depend on everyone's luck.

"Lang Jun, let's go, it's not safe here, let's hurry to the beacon tower in Gyro Ridge, maybe someone has already arrived there before us."

"Let's go."

Li Ang and the two walked on the Chiling, and when they arrived at the fifth watch, they found the beacon tower when they set off. The situation that Wu Xuan said did not appear, and no one arrived before them.

It's almost dawn, Li Ang is very worried, he takes everyone out, if only he and Wu Xuan come back, how can he be at ease?

The stars faded, the east was faint, the sky was showing a faint white, and Li Ang stood on the collapsed beacon tower, motionless, like a statue staring at the west of Chiling.

At that time, if everyone did not disperse their actions, the target was too big, and it was impossible to escape the encirclement and interception of the Tubo people. But now that they are scattered, Li Ang will inevitably have a sense of guilt in his heart for leaving his brother in life and death.

The morning breeze blew the tattered clothes on his body, Wu Xuan saw him standing motionless for nearly half an hour, and couldn't bear to say: "Lang Jun, it's not your fault, at that time, dispersing and breaking through was the only option, Lang Jun, you have tried your best to ......."

As soon as Wu Xuan said this, he heard a horse neighing, and under the slope to the south, Hua Qiu rushed up on horseback, and when he saw Li Ang and Wu Xuan standing on the beacon tower, he laughed from a distance.

Li Ang couldn't help but jump down, hurriedly greeted him, and shouted, "Team Leader Hua, what about the others?" See no others? ”

"There are three more ....... in the back," Hua Qiu replied loudly.

Li Ang also saw it, and Murong and Shun and the two soldiers also rushed uphill. Murong Heshun also laughed and said, "Li Bingcao, it's okay if you're fine, we're still worried about you." ”

"Gone? No one else's news? ”

"Li Bingcao, don't worry, everyone is scattered, there will inevitably be some long detours, and I'm afraid it will take some time to get here."

I hope that Li Ang's heart still can't let go, Wu Xuan brought him the barbecue he brought last night, and he didn't have the heart to eat it.

The sky was getting brighter, the sky above Chiling was full of morning glow, and as time went by, finally, Lin Dayu, Nie Feng, Wang Guangguang and others arrived one after another, and there were more and more laughter beside the beacon tower.

By noon, twenty-six men had arrived, four of them with new arrow wounds.

Hua Qiu changed his appearance, walked to Li Ang's side, handed him the mare's milk wine and said, "Take two sips, don't blame yourself too much, there are more than thirty of us, and twenty-six of us can come back, which is already very good!" This is war, how can there be immortals in war? As the main general, just do your best. ”

Nie Feng and the others also came over to comfort him: "Li Bingcao, you may want to say that I don't have a backache when I stand and talk, but in my heart, I really think that even if I can't come back, I won't regret going on this trip with Li Bingcao." ”

"Yes, over the years, we have experienced countless battles of all sizes, which time was not to fight the enemy with their heads? Following Li Bingcao this time is the most desirable thing in his life, and he has no regrets when he dies! ”

Li Ang looked at these brothers who had been born and died together, and his heart warmed.

"Alright, you don't have to comfort me, let's wait another day and see if anyone else is coming to meet." Li Ang took a long breath and said, "All the brothers who have not been able to come back, their parents will be my Li Ang's parents in the future, and I will do my best to support them." ”

Twenty-six people who were fortunate enough to come back, hearing this, looked at Li Ang in unison, and there was a hot current in everyone's hearts, and some iron-clad men actually had red eyes.........
