Song Mojie was still outside the first wall of fire, and he rushed into the sea of fire with dozens of horses. He struggled to use his flesh and blood to knock the burning wood and stone fortifications out of a passage, and the fire was slightly reduced. This made Song Mojie I saw hope of breaking through this wall of fire.
"Tian Wenfeng, please quickly move away all the wood and stones, and open the passage to let the cavalry behind!" Song Mojie shouted loudly.
Tian Wenfeng promised loudly, turning the horse's head to face the Zhennan Army cavalry who were crowded behind him and busy controlling the fire-fearing horses: "Dismount, dismount! Use manpower, gun handles, whatever, to open a passage..." ah!"
As soon as Tian Wenfeng finished speaking, he suddenly let out a loud cry that had nothing to do with the order. Everyone looked in shock, only to see Tian Wenfeng twisting his body on the horse and scratching behind him desperately with his hands, as if there was something on his back. As he turned around, everyone saw a flaming arrow nailed to his back. It penetrated the thin armor and was nailed into his body, exposing half of the arrow's feathers.
Song Mojie screamed in surprise and wanted to raise his horse to help Tian Wenfeng, but then he heard the sound of Xiuxiu filling the sky again. More arrows were shot. Song Mojie hurriedly waved his weapon to block, waiting for this round of arrows. After the rain, Tian Wenfeng, Song Mojie's most trusted adviser, had fallen off his horse like a hedgehog. A dozen Zhennan Army cavalry around him had also been hit by arrows and fell off their horses.

A Zhennan Army soldier with smoke all over his body rolled out from behind the first wall of fire. His clothes caught fire as he ran, and red flames shot up. As he ran, he cried out: "There is a wall of fire behind us. We can't get through it. Young Marshal, please save me, please save me!"
After the words fell, his body fell to the ground with a bang, and his smoldering body twisted on the ground, and fell silent after a moment.
Whether it was Tian Wenfeng or the tragic death of this soldier, Song Mojie suddenly came to his senses. He also fully understood the situation he was currently in after the impulse passed. He was probably falling into the simplest trick of luring the enemy.
The Forbidden Army has already set up several fortifications in the valley, and each fortification may become a wall of fire that hinders their pursuit, and they can wait and bend their bows and shoot arrows behind each fire wall. He and his subordinates were like injured prey in the woods, being shot accurately one by one but unable to do anything.
Even if he does not want to admit that his recklessness caused such a predicament, even if he is helpless against the imperial army that is approaching Chi Chi, and even if he is completely unwilling to capture the young man in golden armor, as the commander-in-chief of the Zhennan Army, Song Mojie also I understand that if I don't retreat immediately and continue to rush in recklessly, I'm afraid I will end up here today. It is true that the Forbidden Army on the opposite side is estimated to be small in number, but there are 200,000 troops behind them, which can be continuously replenished. .
"The rear team becomes the front team and retreat immediately. The sooner the better!" Song Mojie issued the order to retreat.
As soon as the rear cavalry arrived, they were asked to turn around and withdraw. Many people had no idea what was going on in front of them, and there was a lot of yelling and cursing. However, after all, the young marshal's order could not be violated, so they turned around in a hurry, and the scene was chaotic. Six to seven hundred Zhennan Army cavalry were crowded in the long valley passage like headless flies, showing no military discipline at all.
While Song Mojie quickly moved away from the shooting range of the arrow behind the wall of fire, he was very angry at the chaotic scene in front of him and cursed: "A bunch of bastards have turned into a mess! The Zhennan Army has not fought in several years, and each one has been raised. My brain is so fat that I don’t know how to fight? It means that there are few people from the imperial army, otherwise today will be a disaster."
Before he could finish his words, he heard a heart-rending roar from the men and horses behind him. The screams and the neighing of the war horses clearly reached Song Mojie's ears, because he turned a curve in the valley and saw that The situation of the soldiers and horses behind was unclear, but only the blood-curdling screams could be heard.
"What's going on? Report it quickly!" Song Mojie roared.
"Young Marshal! Young Marshal... Big, big, big trouble is bad. The cavalry of the Forbidden Army has begun to charge us! Look at the number of flags, I'm afraid there are no less than a thousand cavalry! The rear team can't escape in time, and there are heavy casualties!" The news came quickly! When the news came, a general covered in blood came quickly to report.
Song Mojie was shocked and turned pale. He slapped himself in the mouth and cursed: "I have such a crow's mouth. Damn!"
"What to do? Young Marshal."
Song Mojie stared at him and shouted: "What else can we do? We can only sacrifice the brothers in the rear team! Everyone retreats as fast as possible, retreat immediately! Retreat!"
All the Zhennan Army cavalry rushed to the front like waves at low tide and ran away wildly. The shouts of the Forbidden Army cavalry in the rear were loud. Due to the narrow mountain road, the Zhennan Army cavalry could not turn their horses to fight. The Forbidden Army aimed at the enemy's back and began to fight. To massacre, just mechanically wield swords and spears. Each round of sprinting and fighting can almost overwhelmingly knock down all the enemy cavalry around them, leaving almost no one able to escape.
But after all, the Forbidden Army actually only has three or four hundred horses. They just took advantage of the narrow road and the deep forest to bluff by raising more flags. According to Li Yuan's command, they had no strength and no way to pursue them to the end. They could only kill one round at a time. Slowing down a little more, the time difference in the middle was deliberately left to the best opportunity for the Zhennan Army cavalry to escape. However, the Zhennan Army cavalry had already been defeated like a mountain. Who dared to look back? When they heard that there were thousands of pursuers, The cavalry and even the swaying tree shadows around them regarded them as enemy troops. They did not dare to think too much and fled towards the exit of the valley desperately.
Song Mojie's heart was burning, and he urged his horses to scold his men who were crowded around and trying to escape. But in the moment of life and death, who would be willing to give up the escape route to others? Being in an extremely dangerous death zone, Song Mojie knew that the more he delayed, the greater the danger would be.
"I hope the Imperial Guards at the rear will stop chasing us. It would be really bad if they keep biting us in the butt." Song Mojie thought to himself.
Just as his thoughts turned around, like roundworms in Song Mojie's stomach, a long horn blast sounded from behind. The Imperial Army cavalry stepped on the green smokey ground like crazy and accelerated their horses, and the war horses may have been due to The horse felt pain in its belly and buttocks, and later became anxious and jumped because it felt the hot ground. Naturally, it ran faster.
Song Mojie suddenly turned around and saw the young man in golden armor who had attracted him. Riding beside him was a long-bearded general with a fierce face. He was wearing a gleaming tiger-head armor and the long sword in his hand was also shining. Flashing cyan light.
Song Mojie didn't recognize him just now, but at this time he already had the result in his mind, because he saw clearly that the flag behind the golden-armored boy was not the dark red python mosquito Yanwang flag, but the tiger pattern with the word "李" Mangbian Shuaiqi, the opponent he had just raved about in anger, was Marshal Li Yuan, the general of the anti-rebellion army. He was a general known to everyone in the Tang Dynasty. He often won by surprise when using troops.
Song Mojie immediately slapped his own mouth, causing it to swell. He scolded himself in his heart: "How can I live up to my uncle's teachings in the past when I underestimate the enemy today? I am so arrogant that I will die! Now!" It is impossible to turn around and fight, everyone is busy fleeing, and it is impossible to turn around and fight in the chaos. Maybe today we will die here."
Song Mojie had completely lost his will to fight. Today's defeat was not unjust, but the physical and mental blow was a bit heavy. I lost my mind for a moment, but I didn't expect that the price was so huge. I underestimated the enemy and rushed in, and was heavily set up by Li Yuan. At present, more than half of his troops have been lost. What's even worse is that his troops have no fighting spirit, so they can only evacuate immediately.
Song Mojie was seen loudly scolding the soldiers of the Zhennan Army in front of him. Seeing that the soldiers were still in a chaotic formation, he cursed angrily while using the spear in his hand to kill several soldiers who suddenly stopped and blocked the road with their horses, and stayed there in fear.
Forced by such powerful means, and with the blood and flesh of the Zhennan Army's sacrificed men and horses blocking the mountain road, the Forbidden Army cavalry's pursuit seemed to slow down. Song Mojie and the Zhennan Army cavalry finally saw the opportunity to escape from the place of death. hope...
