Chapter 391: Into the Mountain

The Turks gave up going south to the Central Plains, the front-line army retreated, and the eight-part alliance collapsed, this union was driven by Long Ziming Yili, and now it is impossible to steal chickens, and the alliance naturally has no meaning to maintain, and the Turks have made a lot of contributions to the Liang, and all ethnic groups have contributed a lot of grain and grass, so that the grain and grass of the various departments have become very tense, and it will be sad for a long time.

The patriarch of the eight tribes hated Long Ziming to the bone, eager to eat his flesh raw, this attack on Liang, each department has lost a lot of warriors, the war profits obtained from the attack on Yingzhou are simply not enough to make up for the loss of the war, although a lot of gold, silver and iron tools have been captured, but it is not worth the consumption of grain and grass, the reason why it has become like this is because the Liang army that slipped into the grassland, it was they who burned the grain and grass of Wule, so that the eight tribes suffered heavy losses, and also took advantage of the siege of the eight departments to break into the battlefield, killed many warriors, and let Long Ziming take advantage of the chaos to escape, Now that they have escaped into the steppe again, the Eight Great Khans have joined forces to issue a killing order! It is bound to make that Liang army go and never return.

The news that a group of Liang troops was wandering in the grassland had spread throughout the eight tribes, and all the tribes had strengthened their guards and sent warriors to search for traces of that Liang army on the grassland. The armies of all front-line units are also retreating regularly, and they are also searching for the traces of Tie Wushuang and others.

At the end of the war, the subordinate iron cavalry of each department began to patrol the grassland as usual, and after this battle, the various departments had lost the grain and grass for internal fighting, and tacitly chose harmony.

Tie Wushuang led the team all the way to the north, during which he encountered several Turkic iron horses, and even encountered the attached iron horses when attacking a ranch in the Li Department, fortunately, the number of the other party was not much, only two thousand people, after a death battle, most of them were killed, but their side also suffered heavy losses, less than half of the 10,000 iron horsemen are now left, the further north they go, the cooler the weather, the greater the temperature difference between day and night, after the capture of two pastures in a row, everyone has put on warm clothes and enough rations for several days, the team is still going north, The south is no longer able to go, countless iron horsemen are looking for the traces of the Liang army's iron cavalry, Tie Wushuang appeared on the battlefield of Guanxia has expected that if the south to the Central Plains fails, they will definitely gather all their eyes on their own team, for the sake of today, all the way to the north, and then east through the mountain, back to Jizhou, although this road is difficult and dangerous, but the victory is safe.

The counterattack of the Turkic Tatars was far more fierce than Tie Wushuang expected, and in two days, they encountered two teams of Turkic iron cavalry, although there were only more than 1,000 people, but soon after the battle, reinforcements came in, and both battles were like this, Tie Wushuang's team was sharply reduced to less than 3,000 people, and two-thirds were wounded soldiers, and only Wang Yan and Tie Wushuang were left in the team.

Even if he had expected it, Tie Wushuang's mood was still extremely heavy, there were still hundreds of miles away from Bishan, and it only took a day or two to rush with all his might, but the horse couldn't stand it, so he could only drive for half a day, and walk for half a day, and the time was extended.

The retreat of the Eight Divisions took less time than Iron Musou expected, and after the army returned to the pasture, they scattered all the tens of thousands of Iron Horsemen attached to Iron Warriors to hunt down Iron Mushuang's team.

When Tie Wushuang arrived at the foot of the mountain, the team was less than 2,000 people, all of them were wounded, even Tie Wushuang was hit by an arrow in the back, and the arrow had been buried in her body for half a day, facing a team of 1,000 people attached to the Iron Horse, Tie Wushuang did not have time to deal with the wounds.

Entering the mountain, the attached iron horse that bit behind him really stopped, did not continue to chase, on the mountain, the mountain road is rugged, the forest is dense, the big trees surrounded by two or three people can be seen everywhere, after walking for a long time, Tie Wushuang finally fell...

Tie Wushuang was in a coma, as a deputy general, Wang Yan took over Tie Wushuang's position to command the whole army, after this period of performance, Wang Yan has been recognized by the whole army, whether it is martial arts or unified army combat, Wang Yan has shown his ability and charm.

Wang Yan found a stream and set up camp, took Tie Wushuang to a hidden place, took off her armor, untied her undershirt, took out the arrow, cleaned the wound with stream water, applied medicine, and then wrapped it tightly with gauze, during which Tie Wushuang kept frowning, occasionally making a faint *, but never woke up, after treating the wound, Wang Yan took the remaining medicine back to the camp for the wounded soldiers to use, and helped a few to treat the wounds.

It was already night when Tie Wushuang woke up, half of his face exposed outside was haggard, he looked around, and found that he was under the cliff, as for his subordinates, they were all not far away, leaning on the tree and sleeping in clothes, Tie Wushuang found Wang Yan, who was roasting the fire in front of the fire for the night, and his hanging heart fell a lot.

Wang Yan felt Tie Wushuang's gaze, looked over, saw that she was awake, scooped out a bowl of gruel from the iron pot on the fire, and walked up to her.

"The general is weak, drink some porridge to cushion his stomach."

Tie Wushuang glanced at the wooden bowl in Wang Yan's hand, the shape was curved, and he knew where it came from at a glance, Tie Wushuang took the wooden bowl and took a sip.

"Can anyone catch up?"

"Don't worry, general, no one is chasing after you." Wang Yan said with a smile.

"I've worked hard for you these days." Tie Wushuang lowered his head, his eyes were deep, and he was silent for a long time, and said faintly.

"I'm a lieutenant general, why talk about hard work?" It is rare to be comforted by Tie Wushuang's body, Wang Yan has a warm current in his heart, Wang Yan has a positive attitude towards Tie Wushuang's ability, but Wang Yan still disagrees with women going to the battlefield, not Wang Yan's exaggeration, if she hadn't followed her this time, this girl would not have been as simple as being hit by an arrow in the back, I am afraid that she would have been bruised all over her body!

Tie Wushuang slowly raised his head, glanced at Wang Yan with deep meaning, a faint smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth, the smile was very mature and charming, although he only showed half of his face, it was still difficult to hide his appearance.

Drank two bowls of porridge, fell asleep under Wang Yan's comfort, woke up the next day, a few more wisps of blood on his pale face, Wang Yan handed back the command of the team to Tie Wushuang's hands, four days later, the group walked out of the mountain, when they saw the iron rider outside the forest, Tie Wushuang's haggard face showed a touch of heaviness.

Three days ago, 30,000 attached to the iron cavalry invaded Jizhou, did not attack the state and county, but stationed under the mountain, Jizhou Mu tried to attack the attached iron cavalry, but was beaten to the falling flowers, stationed in Shuozhou Tian Ce Wei arrived in Jizhou and did not launch an attack on it, in the face of 30,000 attached to the iron cavalry, in the absence of a clear situation, Tian Ce Wei did not dare to rashly move, the ten invincible has received a request for help, is bringing a large army, there are still a few days to arrive.

Wang Yan glanced at the attached iron cavalry around the forest, and had already guessed their plan, obviously to block himself and others, the exit of Bishan in Jizhou is only this one, and then go east is Liaodong, according to the current speed needs to walk for a few days, but at this moment, under the exhaustion of food, it is very difficult to rely on wild fruits and wild fowl to survive to Goryeo, but now the war horse is tired, and a thousand wounded soldiers want to break out of the encirclement of 30,000 attached iron cavalry is simply a fool's dream, Wang Yan does not think that he can kill through the past, after all, the conditions are too harsh.

Tie Wushuang looked at it with a cold face for a long time, and finally ordered to go east into Liaodong, she didn't want to take risks, although the road to Liaodong was very difficult, but it was also a living road, the group walked east for half a day, when it was dark, camped on the spot, and the game that was beaten back in half a day was not enough for more than 1,000 people, Wang Yan and Tie Wushuang gave their rations to the wounded soldiers, and waited for everyone to rest, Wang Yan led people to watch the night in the periphery, and just took a bite of wild fruit, there were several white shadows jumping out of the forest, Wang Yan was stunned for a moment, and then saw clearly the family emblem on the clothes of those people, A smile suddenly appeared on his face.
