The man had a Chinese face, big eyes, a wide nose, a short beard under his chin, and his martial arts were very powerful, saving Zhao Bufan at the last moment. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

His martial arts are very weird, as if there is a strange traction, which can always deflect the swords of those Liao soldiers, but it is the heavy iron palms he swings, which are extraordinary, forcing the Liao soldiers to retreat. When the Liao soldiers were all shocked by him and avoided one after another, he suddenly grabbed the dazed Zhao Bufan, started light work, and rushed out of the encirclement.

The Liao soldiers refused to give up, chasing behind, but they were helpless against this man, as time went by, the distance between each other was rapidly shortened, and when they reached a place with complicated terrain, the man suddenly drilled into the dense forest and quickly disappeared in the sight of the Liao army.

..................

Zhao Bufan, who was dazed, gradually woke up, opened his eyes weakly, but saw a big man in front of him who was healing his luck, he felt that the strength was very strange, but he couldn't say what he felt.

It didn't take long for the big man to take his breath and open his eyes with a smile.

"Little brother, don't worry, I've smeared the golden medicine for you, and the bandaging is intact, it should be fine!"

When this big man appeared, Zhao Bufan was already in a daze, and he didn't know what was happening, and when he saw that the other party was a Song person, he couldn't help asking, "Did you save me?"

Seeing that he looked suspicious and vigilant, the man smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, now it is in Bazhou, more than forty miles away from the county seat of Bazhou in the west, here is a dilapidated house, no one has lived in it for a long time, I will take you here to heal!"

Zhao Bufan didn't dare to be gullible, and said suspiciously: "How do I know if you were sent by the Liao people to cheat me?"

"Little brother, I saw that you were heroic and righteous, covering your companions to escape, and you were really a good man, so I took the risk to show up and save your life. If you don't believe me, I can't help it, and I don't want to get anything out of your mouth!" the big man smiled faintly.

Seeing that the other party said this, Zhao Bufan was silent for a moment, and then he stood up and hugged his fists: "Thank you Your Excellency for saving your life, I will definitely remember it!"

"It's nothing, a good man like you shouldn't die in vain!" The man sighed and shook his head, but quickly continued: "Little brother, the current emperor is mediocre and incompetent, so that the traitorous ministers are in charge, and the people are not happy, the little brother resists Liao is a righteous act, but in the end, you have to think about the future road, how many loyal and righteous people in this world have been persecuted?"

Zhao Bufan felt that the person in front of him was not simple, but he couldn't guess his identity, so he asked suspiciously: "Your Excellency has extraordinary knowledge and doesn't know how to call it?"

The man just smiled and didn't say his name, but said: "It's just a name, don't mention it, if the little brother hates to join the army in the future, or there is nowhere to go in danger, or if you want to change a happy way of living, then go to the sword village on the shore of Gusu Lake, and report the six words of winter and spring, and the contemptible people will definitely come to meet you. ”

"Gusu Jianzhuang?" Zhao Bufan chattered to himself, secretly puzzled.

Just as he wanted to ask again, he looked up and saw that the man had already walked out of the broken grass hut and walked away in style.

Zhao Bufan shouted loudly: "No matter what, I will definitely remember the grace of saving my life today!"

The man waved his hand with his back to him, and laughter came: "In the future, when you no longer serve the court, come to me again, we will drink and talk, if you still serve the court, then there is no need, I have never dealt with people in the court!"

Zhao Bufan looked at the back of the man who was far away, and wondered in his heart: What is the place of Jianzhuang? Who is this person? He seems to hate the imperial court very much? But he can rescue me from the Liao soldiers' sword, and his martial arts must be unfathomable, but unfortunately I didn't see him make a move, alas!!

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Bufan didn't have a clue, thinking of the current situation, he quickly shook his head, and secretly worried about whether He Daye would deliver the letter.

In the end, he was still not very relieved, and he must know that if Ping'an Village was breached, even Lu Zhishen and Lin Chong would definitely not be spared.

remembered that the man had said just now that the county seat of Bazhou was more than forty miles to the west, so he immediately walked out of the broken grass house, slightly discerned the direction, and walked to the west.

This Bazhou has not yet been invaded by Liao soldiers, and the road is safe, but the injuries on his body have greatly hindered his movement.

At noon the next day, Zhao Bufan followed some refugees to Bazhou County, and went to the state capital to look for Li Miao, but he didn't think about it but learned that Li Miao had already led the troops to the battle, and he even met He Daye, who had already arrived here.

When He Daye saw him, he was so excited that he gave him a bear hug.

Li Miao led his troops to the expedition as early as before He Daye's arrival, and the Naha Prefecture guard did not give Zhao Bufan much about the deployment, but only let him recuperate from his injuries with peace of mind, saying that he would send someone to pass on the situation of Ping'an Village to Li Miao on the front line, and Ping'an Village was very important, and Li Miao would definitely try to rescue.

Zhao Bufan can't help it, now he has done his best, earlier he was thinking of following Li Miao to kill back to Ping'an Village, but now Li Miao has already set out to fight, if they go back with their heads covered and their brains covered, it is basically no different from sending them to death, and now they can only do their best and obey the fate of heaven!

After that, Zhao Bufan lived in Bazhou, and his injuries also improved quickly under He Daye's care.

But in the blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed, they have not gotten the news of Ping'an Village at all, and they can't even see the Bazhou guards, every time they go to see, those guards say that the guards are not there, and they don't know where to go to be busy, Zhao Bufan doesn't know whether it's true or not, and he is more and more worried about the safety of Ping'an Village.

Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen were still there, if something really went wrong, he couldn't accept it.

After suffering in this worry for several days, Zhao Bufan's back injury had been healed for most of the time, and he was sitting in the military tent with He Daye frowning, but suddenly heard an unusual commotion outside the tent, and the two rushed out of the camp, and suddenly saw the soldiers in a mess, and looked panicked.

Zhao Bufan hurriedly pulled the soldier in the camp next door and asked.

The soldier recognized him and knew that he was from the Xin'an Army, who had been recuperating from his wounds here for half a month, and said urgently: "Brother Bufan, General Hu was killed, the Khitan Iron Cavalry broke through the three villages in a row, and it was only more than 20 miles away from the county seat of Bazhou, and now there are only 700 defenders left here, and it is impossible to resist at all, Commander Lu ordered a retreat, you should also hurry up!"

"Retreat?" Zhao Bufan was like being struck by lightning, his mind went through the situation roughly, and he panicked: "No, you can't retreat, who gave this stupid order? We, the infantrymen, can outrun the four legs of others? The Khitan iron cavalry is coming, and we are unprepared, if this infantry loses the county seat of Bazhou as a support, go out to slaughter others?"

He Daye was also full of doubts: "What's wrong? No matter how stupid a person is, he is always a commander, so he won't give such a stupid order, this is not the mainland, if the commander of the border pass has no real ability, then he can't go up, and it is impossible for those eunuchs to come to the border pass, even if they come to the border pass to gild, in such a passive situation, they will leave a long time ago!"

"No! we must find that commander, we must stop him!" Zhao Bufan said sharply, and hurriedly ran to the school with He Daye.

Now this Lu Commander seems to be the highest commander of the county, Zhao Bufan quickly recognized the Lu Commander by asking other soldiers, and saw that he was standing on the high platform of the school yard and shouting at the soldiers to assemble, Zhao Bufan hurriedly rushed up and shouted: "Lu Commander, we can't retreat, we can't retreat, if we retreat, then it's all over!!"

Commander Lu asked sharply: "Who are you? Dare to question my orders? Suppress me!"

The guards next to them quickly rushed out of the two and rushed straight towards Zhao Bufan.

Zhao Bufan didn't care a lot, suddenly shook the two back, and shouted loudly: "Commander Lu, we are infantry, and the Khitans are iron cavalry, how far can we run out of the city like this, how can we run past other people's war horses? That is a massacre, that is to die, and if we give up Bazhou, what will happen to the two passes in the north? The Xin'an army's silt pass has been lost, if the Yijin Pass and Waqiao Pass in Bazhou are lost again, and all three passes will be lost, within that month, the entire northern Xinjiang will be occupied by the Liao, and it will not even be too late for the imperial court to send troops to rescue!"

In fact, many of the people next to him were already suffering so hard that they could drip water, but no one dared to resist the commander's orders.

At this time, when he saw someone standing up, he also spoke out at the moment, and hurriedly dissuaded the commander of Na Lu.

Commander Lu's face was obviously a little ugly, and he raised his official authority, drew his sword and roared: "You dare to disobey orders? If anyone says more, I will kill him on the spot!"

The soldiers were all shocked by him and did not dare to say more.

Seeing the shocking scene, he turned his head to look at Zhao Bufan, with a ruthless look on his face: "This soldier openly disobeyed the order, dragged it down and cut it down!"
