Chapter 217: Fleeing the Pursuit
"King Hongnong has already run away!" Squatting next to a row of corpses, leaning at the light of the torches in the hands of the soldiers behind him, Chang Feng carefully examined the corpses, his eyes stayed on the cut in the neck of the corpse by a sharp blade, wrinkled his brows tightly, and whispered to the several Yellow Turban Army generals standing behind him: "Send cavalry to pursue!" ”
"It's night ...... right now," a yellow turban general clasped his hands into fists, bowed slightly, and reminded: "When cavalry arrives at night, most of them are like blind people......
"Then find someone who is not blind!" Glaring at the yellow turban general, Chang Xuan stood up "Teng", faced the yellow turban general who was speaking, and said to him with a hideous expression: "Send someone to chase after him immediately!" If you don't want King Hongnong to break through Lu County and cut off our heads, you can't let him escape tonight! ”
"No!" Chang Xuan's hideous expression frightened the Yellow Turban general who spoke, hurriedly responded, turned around and ran out of the county government, and arranged for cavalry to pursue Liu Wei.
Not long after the Yellow Turban General ran out of the county government, a cavalry of more than 200 people burst out of the military camp in the city, and this group of cavalry came out of the barracks, waving horse whips one by one, and galloping towards the direction of the city gate.
"Brothers, catch up with King Hongnong, all will be rewarded!" Seeing that he was about to reach the city gate, the yellow turban general who led the cavalry raised his spear, pointed forward, and shouted to the cavalry.
Knowing that there was a reward for catching up with Liu Bian, more than 200 cavalrymen shouted in unison, holding the horse's belly between their legs, and galloped towards the city gate quickly.
Getting closer and closer to the city gate, when the horse's head entered the doorway on the inner side of the city gate, the leading Yellow Turban general felt a little uneasy in his heart, and hurriedly grabbed the reins, trying to stop the horse.
Although his intuition told him that there was danger in front of him, he was slower to rein in his horse. The inertia of the galloping did not stop the momentum of the war horse immediately after lifting the reins, and the two front hooves of the war horse suddenly softened, and the huge body rolled forward and planted out.
As soon as the horse's hooves were tripped up, the yellow turban general riding on the horse's back was shocked in his heart, pressed the horse's neck with both hands, and pushed hard, trying to get out of the horse's belly, but at the moment when the body was just volleyed in the air, he was thrown by the horse's hips that were pouted high, and the whole person rolled forward and flew out like a baseball hit by a bat.
The cavalry behind him saw that he was thrown out, and they all wanted to stop the rushing horses, but some of the horses did not stop their pace, and were tripped by the tripping ropes set up in the city gate before Liu Wei and others left, and even the people and horses were thrown out of the road.
Some of the Yellow Turban cavalry who stopped their horses from rushing forward, and before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the cavalry that rushed up from behind slammed into their horses.
The cavalry in front wanted to restrain their horses, but the cavalry behind couldn't stop the momentum of their horses rushing forward, and the inside of the city gate suddenly became a mess of neighing horses.
The Yellow Turban cavalry pursuing Liu Wei inside the city gate turned on their backs, and in the field outside the city, the fierce fighting continued.
Liu Wei, who was covered in blood, opened his eyes angrily, and the long sword in his hand kept slashing at the Yellow Turban Army that was rushing towards him.
With the slash of the long sword, streams of blood splattered out from the body of the Yellow Turban Army on the opposite side, soaking the clothes on Liu Wei's body.
There was slimy blood all over his body, which made Liu Wei feel uncomfortable for a while. When he split the heart of a Yellow Turban soldier again, a stream of hot blood came out of the Yellow Turban soldier's chest, and Liu Wei was sprayed all over his face.
Raising his hand to wipe the blood sprayed on his face, blocking his vision, Liu Wei grabbed the hand holding the sword, roared, and rushed towards the other Yellow Turban soldier.
"Kill!" The Yellow Turban general, who led more than 1,000 people to besiege Liu Wei and others, carried a spear and let out an angry roar, taking advantage of the fact that Liu Wei's long sword had just slashed at the head of a Yellow Turban soldier, and before he could retract it, he stabbed his spear into his waist and ribs from the side.
As soon as the spear of the Yellow Turban General was stabbed out, and he was about to pierce into Liu Wei's body, a silver arc of light suddenly flashed in front of his eyes.
Seeing the arc light slashing towards his eyes, the Yellow Turban General hurriedly put away his gun and wanted to dodge, but after all, it was a step too late.
With a sharp sting, his eyes were struck hard by a sharp sword.
The long sword slashed through the eyes of the Yellow Turban General, and as a stream of blood flew out, the two eyeballs of the Yellow Turban General were instantly split, and the upper half of the head flew into the air like a saucer thrown out by someone, and fell to the ground with a few volleys.
Holding the long sword in both hands, Guan Qing raised his foot and kicked the body of the Yellow Turban General that had not yet fallen, kicked the body that was missing half of his head to the ground, and turned his head to look at Liu Wei.
Liu Wei, who knew that Guan Qing had saved his life, also turned his face and nodded at her, and then shouted to the soldiers who were still fighting with the Yellow Turban Army: "Brothers, kill north!" Break through their blockade! ”
After a fight, dozens of pro-soldiers who were still alive shouted in unison, and followed Liu Wei to launch a round of counterattack against the Yellow Turban Army.
The Yellow Turban Army, which had lost its generals, was numerous, and they were about to capture Liu Bian, and the credit was in front of them, and no one was willing to give it up easily, and an unprecedented momentum broke out, and many people shouted and pounced on Liu Bian and others.
Although under the onslaught of Liu Wei and others, the Yellow Turban Army has been overthrown by hundreds of people, but the remaining hundreds of people are still a force that should not be underestimated.
Liu Wei and the others collided with the Yellow Turban Army, and they were immediately scattered by the rush. Liu Wei swung his sword and slashed down the two Yellow Turban soldiers, he turned his head to look behind him, and only Guan Qing, who was also covered in blood with him, was left behind him, and the rest of his own soldiers were scattered far away.
"Charge north!" Seeing that he was about to be surrounded by the Yellow Turban Army, Liu Wei shouted again and pounced on the weakest part of the Yellow Turban Army's defense.
After a fight, Guan Qing couldn't remember how many Yellow Turban Army she had overturned, she followed behind Liu Wei, slashed dozens of swords, and finally broke out of the encirclement of the Yellow Turban Army.
"Let's go!" Rushing out of the encirclement of the Yellow Turban Army, Liu Wei reached out and grabbed Guan Qing who was following him, shouted loudly, and ran forward without looking back.
"King Hongnong has run away! Chase! Being led by Liu Bian, Guan Qing only heard a shout behind her, and then she heard a chaotic footsteps following her and Liu Bian.
A few miles away from the city wall, in the camp of Liu Weijun, a scout rushed into the barracks, and when he arrived outside the tent of Zhao Yun's camp, he turned over and jumped off the horse, and bowed to Zhao Yun in the tent with his fists and said: "General Zhao, two groups of people outside the city of Lu County are fighting, and the villain faintly hears that someone is shouting, 'King Hongnong has run away'!" ”
Before the scout's words fell, Zhao Yun, dressed in military uniform, rushed out of the camp tent and shouted to the soldiers guarding outside the tent: "Not good! It must be His Royal Highness who went out of the city and was trapped by the Yellow Turban! You immediately go and gather all the men and horses, and go with General Ben to rescue His Highness! ”
"No!" Hearing that Liu Wei was besieged by the Yellow Turban, Zhao Yun's own soldiers, who had received the order, hurriedly responded and quickly ran to gather the men and horses who could fight at night.
After a while, a cavalry quickly rushed out of the barracks and ran towards the place where Liu Wei and the others fought with the Yellow Turbans under the leadership of Zhao Yun.
Although they responded immediately after getting the news, it was a little late for the news to reach Zhao Yun's ears after all, when Liu Bianjun's cavalry rushed out of the barracks and rushed towards the outside of Lu County, Liu Bianjun and Guan Qing were already chasing by a group of Yellow Turban Army, running two or three miles to the northeast.
The Yellow Turban Army, which chased behind Liu Wei and Guan Qing, had more than 200 people.
Liu Wei would never be so arrogant as to think that with his and Guan Qing's ability, he could kill 200 people and then escape.
More than 200 Yellow Turban soldiers screamed and chased after them, while Liu Wei pulled Guan Qing all the way away, long forgetting which direction they were running.
The road in front of him was getting darker and darker, and Liu Wei, who was pulling Guan Qing to run wildly, looked up at the sky while running.
The stars have thinned out a lot, and a bright star appears in the dark night sky, like a bright light in the night sky.
Although the starlight was bright, it was too far away from the ground after all, and the heavy night did not fade because of the appearance of the bright star, but the black curtain that shrouded the earth became much thicker.
Liu Wei knew very well that the bright star was a symbol of the dawn of the day, and the darkness under him was the best cover for him and Guan Qing to escape from under the noses of this group of Yellow Turban Army.
The Yellow Turbans who followed behind them were probably afraid of being discovered by Liu Bianjun, who was stationed in the north, and did not light the torches. Chasing Liu Wei and Guan Qing with difficulty in the night, many of the Yellow Turban Army's steps also stumbled a lot.
"Let's go!" Turning his head and glancing behind him, Liu Wei couldn't even see Guan Qing, who was running wildly by him, knowing that this was the best time to get rid of the Yellow Turban Army, he shouted to Guan Qing, pulled her to turn around, and ran towards the east.
Liu Wei's army is stationed in the north, and the road to the north has been completely blocked by the Yellow Turban Army chasing after him.
But Liu Wei didn't do that, he pulled Guan Qing to turn around and go straight to the east, in order to get rid of the Yellow Turban Army following behind him and return to the army as soon as possible.
The footsteps behind him became farther and farther away, and Liu Wei, who was running wildly with Guan Qing, also breathed a sigh of relief. But he didn't stop his pace, the pursuers had not been completely thrown away, they stopped to rest at this time, once it was dawn, he and Guan Qing would be discovered and surrounded by the Yellow Turban Army that had caught up.
I don't know how long I ran with Guan Qing, and a white light of fish belly color appeared in the eastern sky, and the light pierced the thick night, gradually dispelling the darkness.
Liu Wei turned his head to look behind him, and saw that the Yellow Turban Army had not caught up, so he stopped, let go of the hand holding Guan Qing, and bent down to gasp for breath.
After running for a long time, although Guan Qing has a body of martial arts, he also feels very tired. Tiredness made her gasp uncontrollably, and in the morning light, her pretty face stained with blood not only did not make people feel the slightest horror, but made her look more and more delicate.
She didn't bend over and pant like Liu Wei without caring about her image, but straightened her waist, held the long sword and gasped for a while, and then said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness, the two of us went all the way to the east, ran for half the night, and saw that we were even farther away from the army......
"yes!" Bending over and gasping for breath for a while, Liu Biancai straightened his waist, turned his head to look in the direction of Lu County, and said to Guan Qing: "The Yellow Turban Army chasing after the two of us will definitely not give up, and they must not return to the same ......."
"To the north!" Staring at Guan Qing, who was covered in blood and his chest was lying down under the wheezing for a while, Liu Wei raised his hand and waved at her, and said to her: "Walk more than ten miles north first, and then turn back to the direction to face west." Today, Changfeng will definitely launch a yellow turban raid on our army in the city, and I am afraid that the two of us will not be able to return before the two armies fight! ”
