On the other side, after more than an hour of underground journey, Han Fei finally escaped from the tunnel. Outside the tunnel was a small forest not far from Yecheng, where Han Fu had prepared a horse and some entanglements.

Immediately, Han Fei directly took the things, rode on the war horse, and after taking a look at the familiar Yecheng from a distance, he gritted his teeth, and then under the cover of the night, he went in the direction of Xiguan in Youzhou.

I don't know if Yuan Shao didn't care about the life of a mere Han Fei at all, or if he didn't remember this person at all, or if he was busy consolidating the forces that had just taken over Yecheng. He didn't send any people to hunt down the rest of the people, so there was basically no danger along the way, so he slowly approached the city.

The next day, in Youzhou, fifty miles outside Xiguan, Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu fled to this place with the remaining more than 1,000 people. Originally, when the two of them led the troops to rush out of Han Rong's encirclement, there were still about two thousand soldiers and horses, but they were very helpless, after a long-distance attack of hundreds of miles, there were about seven or eight hundred people either because they were too seriously injured, or because their bodies were really weak, so they could only sit and wait for death.

And Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu can't take care of so much at this time, or there is no way to take care of so much, at this moment, Han Rong's remaining more than 7,000 cavalry are chasing after them, if they really reluctantly take those brothers who can't run away together, I'm afraid there is only one end in the end. That's dying together. In desperation, he could only reluctantly endure the pain in his heart, and continued to go towards Naxiguan with the brothers who still had the strength left. As long as he got there, then Han Rong's little soldiers and horses would not be enough to worry about.

"Shhhh There was another neighing sound of horses, and the screams of a Youzhou light cavalry came out, which made Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yun's hearts tense again, and they didn't have to think about it to know that another brother couldn't support it and fell off his horse and died, although this situation has happened several times during this period of time. But the two of them still have some heartache.

Then the two of them looked towards the place where the sound came from, and sure enough, one of the cavalrymen had fallen from his horse, and by the way, one of the cavalrymen behind him had also tripped up. In an instant, the lives of two brothers were lost.

"Senior brother, why don't we stop and rest, the brothers are almost unable to support it." Zhao Yun couldn't stop, but he couldn't help but speak. There are still three points of unbearableness and three points of exhaustion on his face.

He, Zhao Yun, is not an iron man. After a big battle with Han Rong, he and Zhang Xiu helped the army open the way, coupled with the long-distance attack and escape of hundreds of miles now, this body has already been consumed, and this kind of big war is not much more than the battle of Changbanpo in history. At this moment, he and Zhang Xiu are completely relying on their firm belief and tenacious perseverance to survive until now.

"No, Zilong, then Han Rong's soldiers and horses are less than five miles behind us. Stop now, if you are surrounded by that Han Rong. All the brothers are going to die here. Zhang Xiu vetoed it without hesitation. But the trace of grief that flashed on his face could not be concealed no matter what.

"Hey!" Zhao Yun breathed a sigh of helplessness and stopped saying anything. He is not an unreasonable person, so he naturally knows which is more important.

"Brothers, hold on, there are less than fifty miles to enter Youzhou, and we will be safe by then. Think of those dead brothers, only by surviving can we have a chance to avenge them. Zhang Xiu shouted full of self-blame.

Sure enough, after the embroidery shouted, although the remaining more than 1,000 soldiers and horses were all injured and exhausted, but at this moment, they were all spitting fire in their eyes, they were not afraid of death, but if they had the opportunity to live, they naturally did not go back and chose to die. And thinking about the brothers who died at the hands of Yuan Shao's army, they all cheered up one by one.

The desire for life and the hatred for Yuan Shao's army are the motivation for them to persist at this moment.

And about four or five miles behind Zhao Yun's remnants, there were more than 7,000 cavalry galloping in this direction, which was naturally Han Rong who was chasing this Zhao Yun.

At this moment, Han Rong was no worse than Zhao Yun in terms of anxiety. It stands to reason that Zhao Yun's personal horses are already sleepy and lacking, and Han Rong's seven thousand soldiers and horses are a new force, and it is absolutely impossible to be worse than Zhao Yun and them in terms of speed.

But now the facts are telling him that he is wrong, very wrong. At the beginning, he Han Rong was directly thrown out ten kilometers away by Zhao Yun and others. But fortunately, it may be Zhao Yun now, and their men and horses really can't hold on. The distance between the two sides is slowly getting closer, and from time to time, the Youzhou light cavalry who have fallen behind have all been directly killed by Han Rong and others, without the slightest mercy.

However, this alone was enough for him Han Rong to be stunned, and he didn't know what the situation was at all. The war horses under the crotch of his cavalry Yuan Shao were all first-class war horses that Yuan Shao bought with a lot of money, and they were definitely not worse than Zhao Yun and them, and their cavalry were all carefully trained for two years before they were formed, and their riding skills were not bad at all, and for a while, he Han Rong couldn't understand why this happened.

However, this Han Rong is worthy of being a veteran, well-informed, and meticulous. In the end, he still found the strangeness in the dead Youzhou soldiers and horses along the way.

He discovered the biggest difference between this Youzhou light cavalry and their own cavalry. That is, there are two rings on both sides of the saddle of the light cavalry in Youzhou, which seems to be a place for the cavalry to step on, and there are actually these iron pieces on the horse's paw under their crotch, as if they put shoes on the horses.

Although he didn't know what these things were for, his intuition told him that the speed of these Youzhou light cavalry was absolutely inseparable from these inconspicuous little things.

Immediately, he left more than 100 people behind and instructed them to collect these things and prepare to bring them back to Yuan Shao. If it is really as he thought, then the combat power of the cavalry under his command Yuan Shao will definitely be doubled or more than doubled, and it will definitely be a great credit at that time, and he can atone for his son's sins, which is something he has been thinking about for a while.

As for Liu Yao's matter of the stirrup and horseshoe, when he had already equipped these things into his army, he had already expected that the secrets of these things would be leaked out sooner or later. After all, these things are not such subtle things at all, and to put it mildly, any blacksmith can make them exactly the same with a single glance.

However, he didn't worry too much about it then, first, he had other ways to deal with the cavalry, and second, he had the most cavalry under his command this year, so he still had to be afraid of others. It took so long for the secret of this stirrup to leak out, and he Liu Yao was already burning high incense.

But soon, he Han Rong didn't think about these things anymore, after all, these are all things in the future, at this moment, his Han Rong's only purpose is to catch up with the gang of thieves in front, not far ahead, then it can make the Youzhou realm, if they really escape in, then there will be no way. He Han Rong didn't dare to break into Youzhou directly with such a few soldiers and horses, which was undoubtedly an act of looking for death.

But fortunately, judging from the traces ahead, the speed of the thief has been slowing down, and his side still has some spare strength, and he has vaguely heard the sound of the hooves of Zhao Yun's army, so he must be able to stop them before entering Youzhou, and when the time comes, with his current strength, it is not easy to destroy the more than 1,000 remnants.

At that time, the task assigned by Yuan Shao will be completed, although the loss is still a little big, but it doesn't matter, as long as he can atone for his son, it will be enough. (To be continued......)
