Although Pei Song took the lead and rushed into the enemy formation without fear of death;
Although the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty were still brave, killing the enemy was like chopping melons and vegetables;
However, he was still surrounded by enemy troops, and it was difficult to escape for a while.
Time passed by in a hurry, and soon a quarter of an hour passed.
There were only more than 600 cavalrymen left under Pei Song's leadership. Within tens of feet around them, there were already corpses strewn in the field and rivers of blood.
The Tang army sacrificed more than 200 soldiers in exchange for nearly a thousand casualties in Tuyuhun.
But even so, Tuyuhun's cavalry still stayed on the spot and refused to take even a step back.
If it were in the past, Tuyuhun's cavalry would have fled long ago, let alone 30% casualties, even 10%.
Now, the reason why they did not escape was because before they followed Liang Meng out, the famous king Liang Qucong gave them a death order.
If they fail to kill the Tang man in the painting, all of them cavalry will die.
Not only that, if the mission fails, their immediate family members in the tribe will all become slaves.
On the contrary, if they assisted Liang Meng and completed this mission.
Even if they die, their relatives will receive large compensation.
Therefore, driven by profit and the safety of their loved ones, the remaining two thousand barbarians stayed in place.
He used his life to buy time for Liang Meng.
Time passed little by little, and there were fewer and fewer soldiers under his command, and Pei Song's heart became heavier and heavier.
He realized that even if he killed all the two thousand remaining barbarians in front of him, he would probably be unable to rescue Sun Zhenren.
He could only place his hope on that carriage, hoping that it could run faster and escape the barbarians' pursuit.
But the ideal is very full, and the reality is very skinny.
Pei Song's wish soon came true.
Just after Mu Si drove the carriage for ten miles, the roars and curses of the Tuyuhun people came from behind.
The personal guard commander Li Jun who fell behind the carriage turned his head and glanced at the enemy troops pursuing him behind him.
After a moment's hesitation, Li Jun's eyes flashed with determination.
He suddenly grabbed the spear on his horse and raised it high above his head.
"The personal guards, follow this general to turn around and cut off the rear for Zhenren Sun."
"Here." "Here." "Here."
After speaking, Li Jun pulled the reins suddenly and took the lead in turning the horse's head.
More than a hundred of Li Jing's personal guards followed suit and turned their horses' heads.
Immediately, Li Jun shouted to the members of the Muzi team who also wanted to turn around:
"You take Master Sun and leave first, and we'll take the lead."
"Any one of us can die, but Zhenren Sun must not die."
The members of the Muzi team are all passionate young people. Although they wish they could turn around and kill all the enemy invaders, they also know the importance.
They knew in their hearts that the reason why these people who stayed behind were willing to die was because they wanted to protect Zhenren Sun.
At this time, Mu Si's roar suddenly came from the carriage in front.
"All of you, salute."
The bodies of the more than ten team members were shaken, and they instinctively straightened their backs, turned around, and saluted the more than a hundred soldiers with red eyes.
Seeing the uniform movements of everyone in the Qin Mansion, Li Jun and others were just stunned for a moment, then they all beat their chests and shouted:
"Take care, everyone."
After saying that, Li Jun turned around, kicked the horse's belly fiercely, and rushed towards the Tuyuhun army formation.
"It is Li's honor to work with all of you in this life. We will see you in the next life."
Li Jun said, raising the spear in his hand, pointing the cold tip of the spear directly at the barbarian cavalry opposite.
"For the people of Lanzhou and the Tang Dynasty, stop them! Kill them!"
More than a hundred personal guards followed and urged their horses to move, shouting loudly:
"Wansheng of the Tang Dynasty, kill!"
...
Liang Meng looked at the charging Tang army with a sneer on his lips.
Although the speed of the carriage was somewhat beyond his expectation, luckily he was able to catch up.
As for the hundreds of horses in front of him, in his eyes, they were just mantises acting as chariots, nothing more.
With just a slight exertion, he can make the opponent disappear into ashes.
With the prey close in front of him, Liang Meng squeezed the horse's belly with his legs, raised a pair of copper hammers in his hand high, and said coldly:
"Kill them all!"
"Ho ho ho..."
...
After a while.
Liang Meng led the remaining five hundred Qingqi and ran wildly in the direction where the carriage disappeared.
At this moment, Liang Meng's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
The captain named He urged his horse to catch up with Liang Meng and said angrily:
"Your Highness, those Tang people are so abominable. In order to hold us back, they deliberately hacked and killed our horses."
Liang Meng turned his head and glared at him.
"Stop talking nonsense and chase after him quickly. If you let that Tang man escape, I will chop you alive!"
"Yes, Your Highness, please calm down."
...
Half an hour ago, Yuzhong City.
Under Muba's crazy urging, the war horse rushed into the front yard of Yuzhongcheng County Government without hesitation.
Then he headed towards the main entrance and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Sir, something serious has happened."
Qin Ming, who was chatting with Yuchi Baolin in the main hall, stood up suddenly when he heard the movement outside the door.
As soon as Qin Ming went out, he bumped into Mu Ba, who was covered in blood.
Seeing Muba like this, Qin Ming felt a sudden change in his heart. He grabbed Muba's arm and said eagerly:
"What happened? Who hurt you?"
Mu Ba made a sound, knelt down in front of Qin Ming, pointed to the west, and cried:
"Sir, ugh... Xiaoliu and Xiaoshiba are both dead."
Mu Shiliu and Mu Shiba were only a few months younger than Qin Ming, so Qin Ming had a deep impression on them.
When he heard that the two men were killed in battle, Qin Ming was immediately filled with rage, and there was a strong murderous intention in his chest.
He lifted Muba up, stared and asked:
"What happened? Who killed Xiaoliu and Xiaoshiba?"
Muba sniffed and said intermittently:
"We were ambushed halfway. Mu Laosi ordered his subordinates to bring Xiaoliu and Xiaoshiba back to deliver a message to you."
"Unexpectedly, when we approached Yuzhong, we were intercepted and killed by two groups of people one after another. Xiao Shiba and Xiao Liu died in order to stop the enemy."
Qin Ming's face changed drastically when he heard this.
Even the members of the wooden team who were covered in armor were injured outside the city. You can imagine how dangerous the scene was at that time.
Ignoring the sadness in his heart, Qin Ming grabbed Xiaoba's shoulders and asked:
"How many enemies are there? Can General Pei protect Dean Sun? Will the others be in danger?"
Xiaoba wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said intermittently:
"There are approximately more than 4,000 enemies, and they are all dressed as Tuyuhun people."
"Before my subordinates came back, Fourth Brother Mu said that he would lead the rest of the brothers to protect Dean Sun and retreat towards Yuzhong City."
"Master, please make preparations in advance."
Qin Ming frowned when he heard this.
The whole thing, from the thousands of enemy cavalry who rushed out halfway to the interception and killing that Muba and others encountered on their way back, was full of weirdness.
What's even more weird is that when Pei Song came, it was calm, but when he left, he was attacked.
Qin Ming didn't believe it. Before Pei Song came, he didn't place any scouts around.
At this moment, Muba seemed to remember something, and suddenly gritted his teeth and said:
"Sir, there is one more thing. The people who intercepted us on the road were not the Tuyuhun people, but the Zuo Xiaowei people."
"If they hadn't made a sneak attack, Xiao Shiba and Xiao Shiliu would not have been injured, and they would not have died in the second wave of interceptions."
Qin Ming's eyes instantly became fierce when he heard this.
"What did you say?"
Listening to Mu Ba's narration, Yuchi Baolin's face turned extremely ugly.
He patted Qin Ming on the shoulder and said:
"Brother Ming, the situation is urgent and it's important to save people. I'm going to gather people first, and you should quickly give the order. Let's meet at the North City Gate."
Qin Ming nodded solemnly.
Immediately, he ordered several soldiers on duty in the government office:
"Immediately you guys send me a military order and ask all the cavalry in the city to rush outside the north city gate as quickly as possible. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed."
"Here."
After speaking, Qin Ming helped Muba up and said:
"Let's go back home."
