This short-lived chaos was enough. Yu Lie, who led his army into the military formation, saw at a glance the hundreds of horses forming an iron rope formation, and discovered the figure of the young man trapped in it who looked like a bloody man.

Yu Lie's eyes suddenly widened. Although he had already thought of the worst plan when he decided to return, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. Brother Mu was so skilled that he captured the second general of the Fu family in the patrol. Saving oneself is like searching a bag for something.

Seeing him kneeling with his sword in his hand from a distance, he felt full of regret that he shouldn't have been left alone. He made up his mind and immediately swung his whip and rode away.

This scene was also seen clearly by Chun Yufu who was in the military formation. He didn't care about his injuries and hurriedly ordered: "Don't panic, stop Qi Yun's army, don't let them save people!"

But it was too late for Chunyu Fu to give the order. Qi Yun's army had already rushed into the formation. In the panic, the world-famous cavalry could not stop him for the time being. He could only watch the thousands of cavalry rushing towards the young man.

Thousands of cavalry arrived, and the Jin army holding the iron rope was instantly knocked down before they could resist. More than a thousand Yanbei Qingqi who followed Yu Lie took advantage of the situation to catch one end of the iron rope, clamped the horse's belly and rode the horse non-stop, caging the young man. The trap above his head was finally released.

"You guys can't stop, move forward quickly, before the Jin thieves react, follow someone to clear a path and evacuate quickly!" Yu Lie's horse continued to order.

Yu Lie turned his horse around and charged several times until he finally arrived in front of Qing Shi. He looked at the young man who was covered in blood and almost exhausted. His lips trembled and his chest heaved violently. Thousands of words turned into one sentence: "Mu Xiao Brother, Yu Lie is late!"

When Gu Xiao saw Yu Lie, he lost his guard and tried to stand up with his sword, but he was exhausted. Fortunately, Yu Lie's big hand struck him.

Stretch and hold yourself up.

"Brother Yu, the enemy is numerous... I am outnumbered, we should... break out of the encirclement quickly." Gu Xiao met Yu Lie's concerned gaze, but it was on his lips, wanting to blame him for not listening to dissuasion and leading the army to help him. He swallowed his hasty words alive, glanced tiredly, and expressed his worries.

How could Yu Lie not know what Gu Xiao was thinking, but he didn't have time to explain much at the moment, so he helped him onto the horse, then jumped on the horse and shouted: "Retreat!"

The moment the order was issued, the Yanbei Qingqi recovered their formations, firmly protecting the two men on horseback, and retreated along the way they came.

Seeing the young man being driven away by General Qi Yun, Chun Yufu finally showed an anxious look. However, his subordinate Heifeng was already injured, the army was in chaos, and he was seriously injured again. Now he had lost control, so he had to endure the pain and pull over. The soldiers on the side ordered: "Go and pass on my general's order. Each battalion will organize its army and fight separately. Anyone who kills Qi Yun's army will be rewarded! Whoever kills the enemy general will be rewarded with a hundred gold coins. Whoever kills the young man will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins. He will be promoted to the third level!" "

The soldiers beside him took the order and left. Not long after, Chunyu General's order had been spread throughout the army. The Jin army, which had been in chaos under the sudden attack of Yanbei Qingqi, after receiving the order, the generals and captains of each army organized their subordinates. Soldiers and horses, end the chaos.

The elite division, the little chaos was over, and under the heavy reward, the Jin army's cavalry mobilized their horses. Under the shouts of the generals in the army, they pursued the Yanbei Qingqi who escaped from the military formation.

Yu Lie took the lead, led the army in and out quickly, and rescued the young man. His heart was heavy, and he couldn't help but calm down. He then explained to the young man behind him to ease his worries: "Brother Mu, don't worry, Brother Fu has led the army to follow." Your plan is to rush back to Ziyang Valley... just hold on!"

audible to

Gu Xiao's strong words made Gu Xiao feel a little relieved, but thinking of Chun Yufu seeing how calmly he saw through his timing, he became worried again: "Brother Yu, if my guess is correct, I'm afraid His Royal Highness Prince Ning and General Gao have already fallen into the trap... I originally made a bet with the commander of the Jin army, but now that he has gone back on his word, he may not withdraw his troops. But fortunately, he was also injured by me. If he wants to lead the army to fight again, it may be difficult..."

Before they finished speaking, they heard the heavy sound of horse hooves behind them. Both of them looked back and saw that the Jin army's cavalry had been chasing after them, and they seemed to be catching up.

When Yu Lie saw this, he furrowed his brows and cursed secretly: "Damn it, just because they are heavily armored and can run so fast, they deserve the reputation of being 'the most difficult person in the world'. In just a short time, they are chasing them. Brother Mu, please sit tight!"

"Give me my order, turn the horse's head, and let's go southwest!" Yu Lie ordered the scout to his side.

The horse jolted, and even though Gu Xiao had applied acupuncture to stop the bleeding, blood still oozed out. He was worried that he would affect Yu Lie who was riding the horse, so he had to endure the pain and asked: "Brother Yu, if we turn around, won't we be surrounded by the Jin army?"

"Brother Mu doesn't know. Although the southeast is close to Qiyun, the road is flat and open. The Jin thieves are fast. If things go on like this, we will be overtaken. Although my method is to change the direction, we still have to fight with the Jin thieves. All we need to do is take them in a circle and head southwest. The closer we get to Yanbei, the more rugged the terrain becomes. The Jin bandit war horses are not good at rugged mountain roads, so we will be able to escape by then!"

Yu Lie tightened his grip on the reins and tilted his head slightly to explain to the young man behind him. At the same time, the general's order had spread throughout the Yanbei Qingqi. Following Yu Lie's roar, more than a thousand cavalry turned to...

day

The light gradually faded, the sun set in the west, and sprinkled on the earth. Everything gradually returned to calm. It seemed that the battle just now in Qingshan Yinshan had not had the slightest impact on this land.

The last sunlight falls to the west of Yanbei and shines directly on the tops of Xilong Mountain and Dongjing Mountain, making the gate of the wild geese flying north like a golden gate floating in the sky. With the rising clouds and mist in the mountains, it is like a fairyland, which makes people nostalgic. , if a traveling poet came here, he would definitely compose a poem to record such magnificence.

It's a pity that this beautiful scenery was broken by waves of horse hooves not long after. Looking at it, I saw hundreds of light horses galloping in front. Behind them, a hundred steps away, there were bursts of smoke and dust, and more than ten thousand heavy armors were chasing after them.

The leader of the light cavalry may have been running away for a long time. Even though the weather is still cold, his face is still stained with sweat. The horse is panting even more when he sits down. It is close to its limit.

Looking behind him at the young man who could no longer speak, he knew that he was seriously injured and that he was already sleeping despite the bumpy road. He quickly called out: "Brother Mu! I can't sleep! We are almost at the foot of Shillong Mountain. Come on, when we get into the mountains, not to mention 20,000 Jin thieves, even one hundred thousand or one million, they won’t be able to find us!”

Yu Lie was indeed right. Gu Xiao was reaching his limit at this moment. The battle with Chun Yufu was so strong that he killed hundreds of Jin army heavy armors. In addition, his wounds had not been treated. At this time, his consciousness was blurred and on the verge of collapse.

Knowing that if he continued like this, Brother Mu would be killed here before entering the mountain. Yu Lie looked back to his side, and saw that more than half of the thousands of Qingqi that came with him to rescue people had been damaged.

After a moment's hesitation, another round of arrows came. The soldier beside him was instantly shot through the heart and died immediately. His body tilted and he fell off the horse in an instant, but his feet were still entangled in the stirrups.

above, being dragged along by war horses.

When Yu Lie saw this, he couldn't bear to see the corpses of his brothers changed beyond recognition. He drove his horse closer and cut off the stirrups with a wave of his spear. He looked at the corpses of his brothers that were getting away, and then looked at the young man behind him...it was clear that the foot of Shillong Mountain was already in front of him. , but if the pursuers behind them continue to pursue them, they will not be able to escape even if they enter Shillong Mountain...

It can be clearly felt that the terrain under the horseshoes is gradually becoming more and more rugged, the flat and open areas are gradually narrowing, and the dry forests in the mountains can also be seen in the distance.

When he was thinking hard about how to escape after entering the forest, the captain beside Yu Lie seemed to have seen through his general's mind. He opened his mouth and shouted to the hundreds of Qingqi behind him before Yu Lie could recover.

"Brothers, it's time for us to repay Mu Shaoxia's kindness. Follow me to stop the enemy and protect the general and Mu Shaoxia!"

At this time, Yu Lie realized what his soldiers were going to do. Before he could stop him, he saw hundreds of Yanbei Qingqi riding their horses, pulling up their horses and turning around. With their spears already firmly in their hands, they faced 20,000 Jin troops. There was no fear on his face.

"Uh-" Yu Lie was shocked and turned pale. He hurriedly reined in his horse and sat down. Before he could speak, he heard that the captain had already turned back and spoke to him with some urgency.

"General, please don't dissuade me. When we decided to follow the general to rescue Mu Shaoxia, we were already prepared to die. Compared to us, if he survives, he can help our Yanbei army to protect the people behind us from being massacred by the Jin thieves. ..General, move quickly, don’t let me die in vain!” The captain never looked back, but the urgency in his words was clearly audible.

"General, leave quickly!" Hundreds of Yanbei Qingqi said in unison.

General Yu Lie's open mouth was covered by hundreds of Qingqi, who wanted to fight with his subordinates.

The brothers live and die together, but they know that they still need to protect the life of the young man behind him.

A hundred steps away, it took only a short time for the Jin army's cavalry to catch up. Yu Lie did not hesitate anymore, and took a deep look at the backs of hundreds of his brothers. He pulled the rope on the saddle and pulled the young man behind him from his waist. Trapped in time, pull out your horse and grit your teeth.

"drive--"

There was no need to say anything between the men. Only the slightly trembling voice of calling for the horse showed Yu Lie's state of mind. If these hundreds of Qingqi looked back, they could see the two people riding away and behind their backs, the drops of water splashing down. Drops of crystal tears...

When a man sheds tears, he doesn't shed them easily, but they are not sad yet.

As the horse leaped into the forest of Shillong Mountain, the sounds of war horses and weapons clashing kept coming to their ears. In just a short moment, the sounds of clashing had stopped.

Yu Lie didn't need to look back, and he didn't dare to look back. He just clenched his teeth and patted his horse as he walked through the forest. During the tea time, it was getting dark and there was no more sound of horse hooves behind him, so he slowed down his horse a little.

"Brother Mu... Mu..." He reined in his horse and spoke in a lowered voice, but found that the young man had already made no sound. Yu Lie hurriedly looked back and saw that the young man was slumped behind him and passed out.

He hurriedly untied the rope around his waist and back, and when he turned over and dismounted, he caught the young man's slumped figure. Only then did Yu Lie see clearly that his face was no longer as pale as before, and he found that under his pale face, he was already slightly pale. livid.

"Oops!" Yu Lie didn't care about anything else. He hurriedly took off his cloak and put it on the ground. He hurriedly returned to the horse, found a kettle and some golden sore medicine from the saddle storage bag, and returned to the young man's side.

Worried that the Jin army had not yet left, Yu Lie did not dare to light a fire.

, he could only get as close as possible, pulled out his dagger, and cut the young man's blood-stained green shirt. He wanted to check the wound, but found that the blood had long dried up and had long adhered to the skin and flesh in the cold weather.

"What should we do?" Although he had been leading the army for many years and was familiar with some first aid methods, he was unable to deal with the boy's injury. Just when he was weighing the situation, something happened again at the foot of the mountain.

Bursts of fire lighted up at the bottom of the mountain. Looking sideways, I saw the light of the torches was like stars in the night. The light of tens of thousands of torches illuminated the originally dark and invisible mountain.

Yu Lie's face was full of solemnity, and the intention of the Jin army was extremely clear. It seemed that they were going to search the mountain. He originally wanted to take the young man and continue walking deeper into the mountain, but now Brother Mu's injuries were no longer there. Can't stand the trouble anymore.

After thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind. The two of them were in a place where even if the Jin army wanted to find them, it would still take time. The only way now was to save them first and then try to escape.

Thinking of this, Yu Lie held a dagger in his hand and wanted to cut open the clothes that were stuck to the wound, but he thought that he needed to break the blade with fire first, otherwise the wound would definitely fester. He glanced at the torch gradually going up the mountain with his peripheral vision, thought for a moment, and immediately I thought of a way.

With a swipe of the dagger, he cut off the remaining cloak covering the young man and lifted up a corner. He took out the fire fold, blew it, and inserted it into the snow on the ground. He used the cloak and his body to block the light. He held the dagger backwards and placed the tip of the blade on the flame to grill repeatedly. .

It wasn't until the tip of the dagger turned slightly red that he extinguished the fire, turned around quickly, and without hesitation, picked up the clothes that had frozen to the wound and scratched it with his teeth.
