The Yiluo Rivers at the mouth of the valley retreated into the valley one after another and regrouped into formation behind Li Guiren.
Beimingzi said: "Little friend Jiang, let's go out of the valley too."
Jiang Shuo said: "But..." He was thinking about Li Zhuer. He didn't know where this mysterious girl had gone. He was even more worried about the Khitan knights who were trapped in the formation. Li Huaixiu brought more than 20,000 people, and this was among the Khitan people. Of the elite, less than 4,000 are fighting out of the valley at this moment. There are still a large number of Khitan warriors trapped in the Golden Lock Formation. Hearing the shouts of killing in the valley, they are still fighting to the death and want to leave them. Jiang Shuo feels really sad in his heart. Somewhat intolerable.
Bei Mingzi said: "Little friend Jiang, I think you can't save these Khitan people with your own strength... You didn't see that their own Yili Jin and Khan rushed out."
Jiang Shuo knew that he was right, but he still hesitated and said, "But..."
Beimingzi said: "If you kill them back, you won't be able to save many people even if you die in the formation. It's better to keep a useful body and see you again in the future."
With the support of Dugu Xiang, Dugu Wen came to Jiang Shuo, took his arm and said, "Shuo'er, let's go. No matter how skilled a knight is, he will never be able to change the situation of the battle on his own."
Jiang Shuo saw that Dugu Wen was still very weak despite Xiang'er's support, and he couldn't help but worry about his safety. Dugu Xiang looked at his questioning eyes and said, "Brother Shuo, let's take grandpa out first. Seek a good doctor for treatment. As for today's siege by the Yan Army, you are the leader of the Cao Gang and the leader of the Jianghu Alliance. There are many opportunities to seek bad luck from the Yan Army."
Jiang Shuo said: "No... no... how can I let my brothers in the gang take risks for me." But after everyone's persuasion, he and Xiang'er finally helped Dugu Wen up and followed Beimingzi outside. Run.
Jiang Shuo looked back and saw that Xiang Runke had already gone to nowhere. He might have gone to the rear of the team to reorganize his troops. Li Guiren gathered his team and formed an array at the entrance of the valley, but he watched as several people came out of the valley and did not pursue him. Looking up, smoke and dust were billowing, and there were crowds of people, but he couldn't see clearly. In a blink of an eye, Jiang Shuo seemed to see Li Zhuer appearing in the formation, but upon closer inspection, he couldn't find her anywhere.
Jiang Shuo finally made up his mind and stopped looking back. He untied the connection between the hilt and the scabbard of the Seven-Star Sword. He returned the sword with a "Cang Rang" and put it into the box. He hung it again on his waist. He picked up Dugu Wen on his back and continued running out. go.
It was only a hundred steps away, and there were piles of corpses everywhere. It seemed that the Khitans also fought their way out of the valley after a deadly battle. When they left the valley, they saw a lot of cavalry coming outside the valley. I think they were ridiculing them. The people of the Tang Dynasty called the Xi tribe and the Khitan Donghu tribe. These two tribes are indeed from the same ethnic origin. They are both descendants of the Yuwen tribe of Xianbei. Therefore, the appearance of the cavalrymen is the same as that of the Khitan people, but their clothes are different. That’s all.
The leader doesn't seem to be very old, but he has a huge build, shiny red skin, leopard eyes and a tiger beard. He is shouting loudly, commanding his cavalry to gather to annihilate the scattered Yiluohe warriors outside the valley. At this moment The Xi tribe warriors had an overwhelming advantage over Yiluohe. The leader of the Xi tribe laughed loudly and said, "Huaixiu Khan, let's go back into the valley and kill all the traitors of the Xi tribe like Yiluohe."
Li Huaixiu just said half of the word "good". However, Nie Li rushed up to stop them and said, "King Du Huaixin, you must not do it. Youluohe is brave and they have set up a formation in the canyon, and Liu Yao, who is highly skilled in martial arts, is leading the army. It is really difficult to break through."
The "King Du Huaixin" was Xi Wang Li Yanchong. After hearing Nie Li's words, he said: "Then form a formation at the mouth of the valley so that they can't come out. They will be trapped alive in there, even if they are hungry, they will die." They all starved to death."
Nie Li said: "It's still not possible. The Yan army has a hundred thousand troops, and Yiluohe is just one of them. Gao Bujie is quite resourceful, and Shi Siming is also a cunning general. Just now, the two of them suddenly escaped and disappeared. If they lead the army back, Not only were our two coalition forces unable to destroy Yiluohe, they actually managed to swoop in all the Xi tribe’s men.”
Li Yanchong glanced at Nirvana on his horse and said, "Then according to Dayi Li Jin's opinion, what should we do?"
Nie Li said: "If you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood. Since we can't defeat them, we might as well retreat first."
Li Huaixiu showed an incredulous expression, stared at Nie Li and said: "Are there more than 10,000 of our brothers trapped in the valley? This is more than half of the property of the Four Divisions. Listen, Dayi Lijin, the sound of fighting and fighting in the valley has not stopped yet. .”
Nie Li said: "Do you think I don't know? But now you and I are like gamblers who have lost a lot. The more times like this, the less we can act on impulse, otherwise the eight Khitan tribes will be completely in danger of no return."
Huaixiu clenched his fist and wanted to argue, but he heard Li Yanchong say: "Okay!" He said to the soldiers beside him: "Send my order to the whole army to retreat ten miles."
Nie Li said: "Ten miles is not safe enough, retreat thirty miles! We must spread out fully and use each other's instructions to be careful of being surrounded by enemy ambushes." After hearing this, Li Huaixiu stamped his feet anxiously in the stirrups, but could not refute. .
Li Yanchong said: "Okay! Just do what Dayi Lijin said." The Xi people retreated from Raolezhou in the south, so naturally they had to retreat to the south. However, Nieli said: "There may be an ambush in the south, so we can go eastward first. , then turn south."
Dugu Xiang whispered to Jiang Shuo: "Isn't the main force of the Yan army to the east? Why did Dayi Lijin ask the Xi army to go east?"
Jiang Shuo shook his head and didn't answer yet, but he heard Li Yanchong say: "Send the order, our army will follow Dayi Lijin's arrangements for everything." Nie Li is good at using troops and is quite popular among the Khitan and Xi tribes in the northeast, so he is here As soon as the words came out, Li Yanchong had no doubts and ordered his soldiers to immediately pass the order and the whole army galloped eastward.
Hang Han had also brought Jiang Shuo and Dugu Xiang two horses with hay, yellow tops, and peach blossoms, and the two immediately got on the horses - they rode the old horses together, and put their grandfather on the back of the peach blossom horse. . The Xi people and the Khitans were all cavalry, and they could reach a distance of thirty miles in a matter of seconds by galloping at full speed. At this moment, the thunderous drum sound in the forest started again. The cavalrymen of the two tribes were surprised and confused when they heard it. Dugu asked, "It's okay. Listen to the direction of the drum, it's still near the valley."
The Xi tribe's scouts also came back to report that there were indeed countless Yan army cavalry encircling the valley from the south, west and north.
Only then did Jiang Shuo realize that although Nie Li's kung fu was mediocre, he actually had military talents. If it hadn't been for his persistence just now, the Xi Khitan coalition army would have crashed into the second encirclement of the Yan army. Li Yanchong also immediately said: "This Gao Bujie is very cunning, thanks to Dayi Lijin who saw through it in advance."
Li Huaixiu wept on his horse and said, "I regret not listening to Dayi Li Jin's words this morning. Huaixiu led his army rashly to penetrate deep, and lost so many brothers in one day." He brought with him more than 20,000 Khitan cavalry, and just now After careful analysis, it was found that only more than 3,000 people escaped from the valley in the end, and all of them were injured. However, the plight of the Khitan brothers trapped in the valley can only be imagined.
Beimingzi said: "Huaixiu, don't be sad. If you can escape, you will have a chance to make a comeback."
Li Huaixiu sighed: "Master...senior...you don't know. It's so difficult to equip more than 10,000 warriors. After today's loss, how difficult it is to gather and equip such a team again." Beiming The master once taught Li Huaixiu a set of sword skills and a life-saving trick of changing his body. However, he thought that Li Huaixiu was not very knowledgeable and did not admit that he was his master. Therefore, Li Huaixiu said half of the word "teacher" and hurriedly Change your mouth to be in line with your elders.
Bei Mingzi waved his hands indifferently and said, "Now that you have escaped, where are you going?"
Nie Li said: "Huaixiu, you still don't know that Princess Jingle was kidnapped by the Yan army."
Li Huaixiu sighed and said: "She was a princess of the Tang Dynasty. Even though she was kidnapped, An Lushan didn't dare to do anything to her, right? Being kidnapped by the Yan army might be better than wandering around with me." There was something in his words. Not too surprising.
However, King Xi Li Yanchong scolded: "The Emperor of Tang gave us two princesses, but you don't know, do you? - These two princesses are fake."
Li Yanchong originally said that Li Huaixiu would be furious when he knew about this, but unexpectedly Huaixiu had known about it before. He nodded solemnly and said: "My wife Jingle is the daughter of Dugu Shi. Her mother believes that Princess Cheng is a real princess. She is just a sect member." She is my niece."
Li Yanchong spat and said: "Speaking of which, it's better for you. Princess Yifang, whom I married to, has nothing to do with the royal family. But it's the same! Does An Lushan think he can control us through two fake princesses? ?」
Nie Li's heart tightened and she asked: "King Du Huaixin, what will you do to Princess Yifang?"
Li Yanchong said nonchalantly: "I have killed him."
Nieli and Huaixiu were both shocked when they heard this. Huaixiu said: "King Du Huaixin, you killed the princess you were betrothed to. How can the Tang Dynasty treat you well?"
Are you willing to rest? Isn’t it true that there will never be peace in such joy? "
Li Yanchong laughed loudly after hearing this and said, "What are you, Songmo, still thinking about? Do you think Anlu Mountain's 100,000-strong army just arrived? What's the use of marrying a princess?"
Huaixiu couldn't help but lower his head after hearing this, thinking that what Li Yanchong said was true.
Nie Li said: "Whether it is a real princess or a fake princess, as long as there is a princess around, An Lushan will always be more cautious."
Li Yanchong laughed loudly and said: "What a rat-proof weapon. I have killed Princess Yifang to sacrifice the flag, rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, and fucked An Lushan." "
Huaixiu was secretly surprised when he heard that the Xi people were scattered into five parts. Although Li Yanchong was brave, it was obvious that he could not unite all the Xi people to resist the Yan army in Anlu Mountain. It can be said that there is no chance of winning. Huaixiu and Nieli looked at each other, not knowing what this Xi Ren was thinking.
Li Yanchong still smiled and said: "Ziwu Khan, I will help you make up your mind today."
Li Huaixiu asked curiously: "What's going on?"
Li Yanchong ordered his soldiers: "Bring those two things up." The soldier presented two cloth bags, opened one and saw a bloody human head. Jiang Shuo had never seen this person before, so he should have It was the "Princess Yifang" who betrothed Li Yanchong.
Then he untied another baggage, and another human head rolled out from it and fell into the dust. That head had black hair like clouds and a pair of almond-shaped eyes, but who was it if it wasn't Princess Jingle?
