"Lord, you see, the one wearing the golden helmet and golden armor must be the peach leopard." A small colonel pointed to the enemy general who was wielding his sword in the firelight and said loudly.

The commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army glanced at the enemy group, nodded, and shouted: "Soldiers, the one wearing the golden helmet and gold armor is the peach leopard, shoot the peach leopard, shoot the peach leopard." ”

"Whoosh ......"

Suddenly, the three thousand crossbowmen of the Northern Expeditionary Army all shot their crossbows at the peach leopard.

"General, be careful, protect the General."

The Peach Leopard's bodyguard immediately held a shield and protected the Peach Leopard's surroundings, slowly moving forward.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

Countless arrows were shot at the shield, and the shield in the hands of the Peach Leopard's personal guards was full, and many arrows were shot at the personal guards.

When one of the personal guards fell, another guard immediately made up, and the shield was a dead peach leopard.

Watching his own personal guards fall one by one, Tao Leopard's heart was extremely painful, and these personal soldiers had followed him for many years, just like his relatives.

"Soldiers, speed up and rush out of the valley." The peach leopard waved his arms vigorously and commanded his soldiers to accelerate and rush forward.

The commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army, seeing the opportunity, bent his bow and arrow, and pointed at the arm stretched out by the peach leopard is an arrow.

"Whoosh......"

The bowstring sounded, and a sharp arrow hit the peach leopard's left arm, and the sharp arrow blade pierced the golden armor, plunging the arrow deep into the peach leopard's left arm.

"Ah......h

The peach leopard was hit by an arrow, immediately covered his left arm, lowered his body, and rode his horse to run forward, and the guards on both sides followed closely with shields.

Under the protection of a group of personal soldiers, Tao Leopard and his main generals all escaped from the valley smoothly, but at least one-third of the soldiers under his command were directly engulfed by the fire, and the remaining two-thirds were also mostly wounded, burned, and arrow wounded.

In an open field outside the valley, the army of peach leopards stopped, and the exhausted soldiers were lying on the ground resting, and the military doctor was bandaging the wounds of the wounded soldiers, and the soldiers who could not bear the pain let out a miserable cry.

"General, bear with me." A military doctor said, holding the arrow inserted in the peach leopard's left arm with one hand, and pulled the arrow out with a fierce force.

The blood spurting out of the wound of "poof...... splashed the face of the military doctor.

"Ah......h

"General, General." The subordinate generals hurriedly stepped forward.

"Dad, how are you?" Taowu is even more anxious.

The military doctor was even more frightened and pale, and he didn't know what to do.

After a moment, the peach leopard slowly raised his head and said weakly: "Help me get on the horse, go quickly, the enemy should chase after me." ”

"General, the valley is on fire, and the Jin army can't catch up for a while."

"General, the soldiers are tired, just rest for a while!"

"Dad, the soldiers can't walk anymore."

The subordinate generals and Taowu were all built to rest for a while, and Taobao was silent for a while.

"General, the forward infantry of the Jin army has been chasing." A scout rode up and reported loudly.

Tao Wu reprimanded loudly: "The valley is blazing, how can the Jin army pass." ”

When the scout heard this, he clenched his fists and said, "The Jin army came around from the halfway up the mountain. ”

When the peach leopard heard this, his heart was shocked, the Jin army was so eager to chase after him, it was to kill himself, it seems that the slaughter of the Jin village completely angered the Jin army, retribution!

"Help me on my horse, and the army will retreat immediately." Peach Leopard stood up and shouted.

Several pro-soldiers immediately helped the peach leopard onto the war horse, and most of the soldiers also got up and prepared to leave, but there were still nearly a thousand soldiers, lying on the ground, refusing to move.

Seeing this, the peach leopard on horseback said angrily: "Get up, get up for me." ”

"General, we really can't walk." A soldier who was hit by an arrow in the thigh said in despair while holding a comrade-in-arms next to him who was severely burned.

The peach leopard closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and shouted: "Let's go, the army will set off immediately." ”

Suddenly, more than 10,000 soldiers, cavalry in front and infantry in the rear, marched along the path in the direction of Dangtu City.

Soon, more than 10,000 men and horses under the command of Peach Leopard entered the second line of defense of the Northern Expeditionary Army, looking at the steep cliffs on both sides of the path, Peach Leopard suddenly had a trace of apprehension in his heart.

"With such a steep cliff, if the Jin army ambushes a group of men and horses here, our army will inevitably suffer heavy losses." The peach leopard lowered his head and stroked his beard, and sighed softly.

When the generals heard this, they subconsciously raised their heads and looked at the cliffs on both sides of the road.

At this moment, thousands of large stones suddenly poured down from both sides of the cliff.

"General, be careful."

"There's an ambush."

"Protect the general."

The generals suddenly roared.

The peach leopard was startled, looked up, and suddenly, his eyes were about to pop out, and a big stone was smashing towards his head.

didn't have time to think about it, the peach leopard quickly turned over and fell off the horse, hid under the horse's belly, and the personal guards beside him immediately raised their shields to protect the peach leopard's surroundings.

Large stones fell from a high place, with huge potential energy, and the soldiers who were directly hit were all seriously injured, and the shields in the hands of the shield soldiers were completely vulnerable in front of the stones, and the broken shields were scattered all over the ground.

"Ah......h

The soldiers wounded by the stones let out a scream, and more rushed forward with their heads covered.

"General, it's not good to stay here for a long time, get out of here quickly." The pro-soldier captain held a large iron shield and protected the peach leopard.

"Bell ......"

A large stone hit the big iron shield heavily, and suddenly, it made the arms of the pro-soldier captain numb, but the iron shield was not afraid of the impact of the stones, and only left a pit in the shield.

"General, let's go." The pro-soldier lieutenant urged again.

"Withdraw, soldiers, withdraw."

The peach leopard hunched over, hiding under the big iron shield, and slowly moved forward under the protection of a group of soldiers, and from time to time there were soldiers beside him who were hit by stones and fell.

"Soldiers, smash it hard, throw all the stones down." Seeing that the enemy was fleeing, the captain of the baggage battalion of the Northern Expeditionary Army roared loudly.

Suddenly, the morale of nearly a thousand baggage soldiers was greatly boosted, and more stones were smashed towards the peach leopard army under the cliff, and the screams like killing pigs came from below the cliff.

After several rounds of stone attacks, the enemy soldiers lost thousands, and after paying such huge casualties, the Peach Leopard army escaped with difficulty.

Arriving at an open field, Peach Leopard asked his subordinates to stop and rest, and asked one of his subordinates to go and check the casualties.

Exhausted all the way, and his left arm was injured again, which made Peach Leopard look a little haggard, and his listless face was disappointed or disappointed.

"General, the last general has made a rough inventory, and there are only seven or eight thousand troops left in our army, and most of them are wounded." The general quickly reported the approximate casualties of the army to Peach Leopard.

When Peach Leopard heard this, his heart suddenly sank, he slowed down for a moment, and said softly: "I thought that the Jin army had fallen into the general's plan of 'striking the east and attacking the west', but I didn't expect that Han Qian's general would plan and set up an ambush here, and our army suffered heavy casualties!" ”

At this point, Peach Leopard finally understood that his plan of 'striking the east and attacking the west' had completely failed.

"General, the Jin army is chasing less than five miles." A scout rode up and reported with his fists clenched.
