Remember for a second [Think โ™‚รท Ke โ˜… Xiao โ–ณ said ยง Net . Org], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

When night fell, the 9,000 defeated troops of the Great Song Dynasty gathered in the Running Tiger Village on the mountainside of Cuihua Mountain, some people were giving medicine to their injured brothers, some people were biting the dry military rations in their hands with empty eyes, and some people were sitting on the ground of the camp, holding spears, and staring blankly at the slowly burning fire in front of them.

They understand that none of them will survive tomorrow.

The handsome and resolute Liulang Yang Yanzhao looked at all this, and didn't know what to say, if it was in the past, he would probably say something to cheer up the army, but now...... Is there any use in saying those words?

Yang Liulang walked into Yang Ye's tent, except for Dalang Yang Yanping, the five sons of the Yang family were silently gathered around Yang Ye's bed, Lao Linggong was naked, lying on the bed with a pale face, wrapped in bandages, even though his breathing was very weak, but at least he was still alive.

Compared with Yang Ye, who was seriously injured and unconscious, the faces of the other five sons were much paler, and the four of them, plus Yang Liulang, who had just walked into the account, all looked at the arrow pulled out of Yang Ye's body in Yang Wulang's hand without saying a word...... It's black.

Qilang Yang Yansi knelt beside Yang Ye's bed, held Yang Ye's hand, looked at Wulang Yang Yande and asked in a choked voice, "Fifth brother...... Is my father okay? โ€

Yang Wulang sighed and said, "The arrow is poisonous, although I have already helped my father suck out the poisonous blood, but the delay is too long......" The muscles on Yang Yande's face trembled slightly, turned his head, and spit out four words.

"The poison is in the bones!"

Qilang Yang Yansi listened to Yang Wulang's words, he was stunned for a long time, and holding Yang Ye's hand unconsciously increased a little harder, and finally glanced at Yang Ye, who was lying on the bed seriously injured and unconscious, and dropped a sentence, "I'll move reinforcements!" Then without saying a word, he walked murderously towards the outside of the account.

Yang Liulang immediately grabbed Yang Yansi and said hurriedly: "Seventh brother, you are crazy, there are hundreds of thousands of enemy troops under the mountain, can you kill them alone?" โ€

Erlang Yang Yanding instead of admonishing Yang Qilang, but stood beside him and said, "Seventh brother, second brother will accompany you, even if you die today, we will bring reinforcements back." โ€

Liulang Yang Yanzhao looked at Yang Yanding, and he was in a hurry, "Second brother, seventh brother is messing around, how can you be the same as him!" โ€

At this time, the taciturn San Lang Yang Yanan slowly spoke: "Do you think you two alone can fight your way out of the encirclement?" Even if you are lucky enough to kill and bring back reinforcements, do you think that the Wei army and the Shu army will definitely be able to break into the encirclement and rush in to save us? โ€

Yang Yanding, Yang Yansi, speechless.

Yang Yanan continued: "Also, how do you know that they are safe and sound now, according to the plan, now the Wei army and the Shu army should have come to rescue us a few hours ago, but they didn't come, what does this mean?" โ€

Everyone in the tent was silent.

What does it mean? can only explain one point, that is, the Wei army and the Shu army are also mud bodhisattvas crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect themselves, so what else can they do to save them.

Yang Yansi listened to Yang Yanan's words, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "Are we just watching our father die?" โ€

"Ahem." A cough sounded outside the tent.

Dalang Yang Yanping walked into the big tent with vain steps, Yang Liulang hurriedly stepped forward and supported Yang Yanping and said with concern: "Big brother, why is your face so bad?" โ€

Yang Yanping pushed away Yang Yanzhao's hand that was holding him, and sat on the chair with some difficulty.

Glancing at the younger brothers and Yang Ye who was unconscious on the bed, Yang Yanping thought for a moment and said: "I just clicked, including the seriously injured soldiers, we still have nine thousand two hundred and thirteen people left, but all the main roads leading to the Qinling Mountains are heavily guarded, and it is impossible to retreat into the mountains to deal with the Liao army." โ€

"Second brother, third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, sixth brother, seventh brother," Yang Yanping looked at his younger brothers and said: "Tomorrow, when the Liao army attacks the cottage, we will take our father to break through to the bottom of the mountain. โ€

Yang Qilang asked, "Big brother, why don't we take advantage of the night to break through now?" โ€

Yang Dalang said silently: "You go out and take a look yourself, the Liao army is in full battle, they have long prevented us from breaking through while it is dark, and now when we go out, we just throw ourselves into the net, and we can only wait for them to attack the village tomorrow and take the opportunity to break through." โ€

The six sons looked at each other, and all agreed to Yang Yanping's proposal, and in the end, everyone was sent to sleep by Yang Yanping, only San Lang Yang Yanan was left behind.

After listening to the plan that Yang Yanping had just proposed, Yang Yanan fell into deep thought, he felt that something was wrong, there would be a suspicious army left in the cottage to drag the Liao army?

Although Yang Yanping did not say that he stayed by himself, Yang Yanan had a hunch that their eldest brother was only afraid that he would sacrifice himself to protect them.

When everyone left, Yang Yanping kept staring at the expression on Yang Yanan's face, and seeing that his expression fluctuated several times, Yang Yanping silently untied the armor on his body, which was already full of holes.

After seeing the blood-colored placket under Yang Yanping's armor, which was stained red with blood, Yang Yanan realized what was happening.

Sure enough, when Yang Yanping revealed his bronzed skin but covered with scars, Yang Yanan just wanted to exclaim, so he hurriedly covered his mouth.

Yang Yanan knelt down in front of Yang Yanping, pointed to many wounds on his body that had begun to rot, and said in a trembling voice: "Big brother, you ......"

Yang Yanping stretched out his hand and made a silent gesture and said, "Don't be quiet, listen to me." โ€

Yang Yanping held the shoulders of the third brother in front of him, and solemnly asked: "Third brother, tomorrow you will take your father to retreat to the west road, I will take 3,000 people to buy time for you, I have seen that path, there is no Liao army stationed, you all the way down Cuihua Mountain, then rush to the nearest Xiwei Bridge, cross the Xiwei Bridge, and withdraw to the coalition camp as soon as possible, you can be safe." โ€

Yang Yanding's heart was shocked, tears flowed down unconsciously, he shook his head and choked up: "Big brother, no, if you want to die, why don't you die together, I must not leave you here alone." โ€

Silent and stable as Yang Saburo couldn't bear his brother's desire to take his own life in exchange for a glimmer of life for them at this moment, he should even get out of the big tent and tell the other younger brothers what happened.

Yang Yanping vigorously held Yang Yanan's shoulder, and said quite weakly: "Third brother, among the brothers, the fourth brother, the sixth brother, the seventh brother, is still young, the fifth brother doesn't like to fight, the second brother's personality is too impulsive, now the eldest brother is the only one you can entrust, promise me, take the younger brothers and father away, and my mother is still waiting for you at home." โ€

Yang Yanan couldn't cry for a long time, held his brother's big hand, and couldn't say anything, the eldest brother is the eldest brother, no matter how many years have passed, he is the one who stands up to the front of the brothers when he encounters danger.

Yang Yanan knew that he couldn't convince Yang Yanping no matter what, not only because of his scars, but also because of the curse.

And Yang Yanping also mentioned that sentence appropriately at this moment, only to see him sitting on the chair, looking at the slowly burning candle flame in the big tent, and said in a low voice: "You must know that the mandate of heaven cannot be violated, the seventh son goes, and the sixth son returns," Yang Yanping silently closed his eyes, "Since there must be a person who dies, then let the eldest brother be the one who is responsible." โ€

.......

Time passed quietly, and it seemed that only a moment had passed, and dawn was ushered in.

The sun slowly rose from the east, and Yang Yanping, who was holding a breath of spirit, stood in front of the big tent, looking at the six younger brothers who were full of energy in front of him, except for Yang Sanlang, and said with a smile: "Father will be handed over to you, after a while, the Liao army will attack the village, and you will quickly withdraw from the back of the village, I will tell the third brother the route, and you will listen to his command when the time comes." โ€

Yang Qilang asked with some doubts: "Big brother, aren't you going with us?" โ€

Yang Yanping touched Yang Yansi's cheek and said bitterly: "You go first, you still need a human palace here, and after I repel a wave of attacks from the Liao army, I will chase you." โ€

Yang Qilang hummed and didn't say anything, but Yang Shilang glanced at Yang Yanping.

Yang Yanping led 3,000 weak brigades to guard the Tiger Village, and Yang Sanlang and others escorted Yang Ye to retreat with 6,000 elite Song troops.

Before leaving, Yang Yanping tidied up the armor of each of his younger brothers, and was reluctant to touch their cheeks.

Finally, at a quarter past seven, the drumming of the Liao army came from outside the village, and the sound of the drum like a deadly magic sound kept echoing in Yang Yanping's heart, he silently closed his eyes, and then opened them and looked at Yang Yanan, third brother, everything will be handed over to you.

Yang Yanan endured the grief in his heart and nodded, he had always been expressionless, but at this moment he actually threw a smile at Yang Yanping.

Yang Yanping also responded with a smile, and finally he snatched up the wall, and with three thousand old and weak soldiers, he looked at the Liao army that was surging up not far from the village.

Not far from the camp, Xiao Tianzuo rode his horse and crossed the knife, led an army of 80,000 to attack the camp, and pointed the big knife in his hand at the running tiger village in front of him, Xiao Tianzuo gave an order, "Attack!" โ€

Yang Yanping's spear stood sideways, and the tiger roared: "Kill!" โ€

The crossbow arrows that covered the sky and the sun were shot out of the hands of the Song army, and the figures of the Liao army charging, accompanied by the whistling sound of the arrows, kept falling, and a huge gap was briefly exposed, but it was soon filled by the people behind them.

The Liao army also began to shoot back with their bows, and the corpses of the Song soldiers who were hit by the arrows fell heavily from the wall.

Yang Yanan turned around and said in a dull voice: "Go." โ€

The 6,000 Song troops slowly withdrew from the rear of the camp with their backs against the 3,000 brothers who were fighting bloodily behind them.

.......

After the few remaining crossbow arrows and stones of the Song army were consumed, the Liao army successfully climbed the wall of Paohu Village and started a fight.

One by one, the soldiers of the Song army, who were wrapped in bandages but holding mutilated blades, fearlessly killed the fierce Liao soldiers in front of them.

On the battlefield where the sword and sword shadow were flying flesh and blood, Yang Yanping was still brave even if he was injured, at this moment he had already fallen into madness, countless Liao army blood was sprinkled on his close armor and his face, and the appearance of bathing in blood was like a Shura returning from hell.

What rules, what Yang family robbery all disappeared, at this moment he would only sweep the spear in his hand forward without stopping.

Time passed little by little, more and more Song soldiers died in battle, and this Running Tiger Village was almost covered with the corpses of the Song army and the Liao army.

Yang Yanping led the last dozens of remnants of the soldiers around him to fight and retreat, and was finally surrounded in the corner of the wall.

.......

Countless Liao troops armed with bright and dangling spears and blades aimed at the Song army in front of them, Xiao Tianzuo drove the war horse to Yang Yanping's eyes, condescendingly, looked at Yang Yanping arrogantly, and said lightly: "If you are willing to put down your arms now and surrender to the general, the general can consider leaving you alive." โ€

"Hahaha, ahahaha!!"

The hideous smile, the distorted facial features, and Yang Yanping's crazy laughter deeply entered the ears of everyone present.

Now he is already in a thousand holes. In addition to the old wounds, in the battle just now, he added a lot of new wounds to his body, and the blood of the Liao army and his own blood merged into a pool of blood at his feet.

Yang Yanping clenched the spear in his hand, straightened his back, and let out a loud roar as if he was at home.

"Come on!!"
