Before Long Tianyu could finish speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by a miserable scream. The soldiers looked towards the direction of the sound, it was the direction of the scouting party led by Zhang Yun, could it be that they were ambushed?
Xiahou Ying was afraid that something might happen to him, so he immediately took out his sword and ordered ten over nimble soldiers to rush into the forest.
Just then, the birds in the forest flew around, a few people flew out from the forest, one of them was Zhang Yun, he had an arrow on his left arm guard, the feather feathers on his tail was erected, the number of people was still more than half of the original number.
Xiahou Ying sensed that something was wrong and hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhang Yun, asking: "What happened?"
Zhang Yun endured the arrow wounds on his left arm and anxiously said: "There's a Qin Army ambushing us in the forest. As soon as our son and I went over, we were hit by a burst of arrows, causing us to lose more than half of our soldiers.
Xiahou Ying asked with worry: "Did you see how many people there are in Qin Soldier?"
Zhang Yun shook his head: "No … He did not see clearly, the trees were everywhere, the arrows were shot in unison, he could not care so much, but from the direction of the arrows, there were at least a few hundred archers, and according to the characteristics of the troops in Qin Army, the number of infantry and cavalry soldiers in this army was less than three thousand, it is possible that it was just a vanguard camp.
Xiahou Ying tensed up and urged: "Go report to the Lord!"
The trees in the forest swayed, footsteps sounded out, and sure enough, Qin Soldier's five hundred to six hundred vanguard camp Infantry soldiers were chasing after them.
Xiahou Ying held onto his treasured sword tightly, and spoke to the warriors beside him: "Those who are not afraid of death, stay with me to delay Qin Army, the remaining two people will help General Zhang to Master's place, and have General Zhang quickly leave."
Over thirty elite soldier s followed Xiahou Ying and guarded at a narrow gap at the hillside, preparing to stop the enemy troops that were chasing after them and stall for time for their lord. Only two Warriors supported Zhang Yun as they went straight to the camping grounds to report to Long Tianyu.
Hundreds of vanguard soldiers holding long spears came out from the woods. They identified the direction and rushed forward to catch up.
When the Qin Soldier was near the foothills of the mountain, Xiahou Ying gave the order without hesitation. Dozens of crossbow arrows were released, shooting at dozens of soldiers in the front row.
The Qin Army fiercely pounced towards the crossroads's arrows. Xiahou Ying saw that he did not have enough time to climb onto the three consecutive iron crossbow s, so he threw them to his side. He knew that this was a critical moment, and could not be careless in the slightest, he shouted to his left and right: "My sons, fight with Qin and her dogs, to let my lord escape!"
The elite soldiers were a bit concerned, but when they heard that they were going to buy time for their master to escape, they immediately made up their minds to die. It was their duty to protect their master, not to mention that these two hundred soldiers were chosen from the eight thousand elite soldiers.
Xiahou Ying and the others all held their swords as they rushed into the group of enemies. After a while, they waved them down, although there were over thirty of them against an additional twenty times the strength of the enemy, but in terms of force, they held the advantage, and the first two rows of enemies that just fought were quickly slashed by the swords.
After all, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great. With more than thirty people being outnumbered, after killing nearly a hundred Qin Soldier s, wounds were already spread across their bodies.
Xiahou Ying's arms and legs were also injured, although it was not serious, but if he continued to fight like this, with more and more blood loss, he would eventually exhaust all his energy and become unconscious. At that time, he could only sit and wait for death.
He raised his spirits and swung his sword to sweep away the long spear's sharp edges, cleanly taking care of a few more enemies.
Right then, there were only 30 plus people left struggling on the ground, while at the other side of the forest, the sound of hooves shook the skies, the forest birds flew in fright, a large group of Qin Army had rushed over, and from the sound of the array formation, there were at least 3,000 people. If the enemy army and cavalry arrived, Xiahou Ying and the rest were dead for sure.
Not long after, he had already killed forty to fifty people, but the wounds on his body grew more and more, but he only thought in his heart: If I can delay a little longer, Master and the rest will have the chance to escape, and it won't matter if I die, as long as Long Tianyu is the only one to take responsibility, the world will not fall into danger.
Suddenly, the sound of rapid hooves rang out, and more than a hundred riders rushed out from the wild behind the hill, the leader of them being Long Tianyu, who was running as fast as lightning as they approached the Qin Soldier, with a clang, the treasured sword out of its scabbard like a rainbow in the sky, shining with a green light.
"Qin Gou, your Grandpa Long Tianyu is here, let's see how long you can continue being so arrogant for!" Before he finished his sentence, he had already rushed to the front of the enemy. With a wave of his arm, wherever the sword passed, iron spears would be twisted and blood would flow from the throat.
The Qin Soldier that was besieging Xiahou Ying heard the roars coming from behind him, but Long Tianyu and the hundred over people rode on horses, slashing and charging at him, trampling on the ground, their killing intent soaring to the skies like caged tigers and wolves.
When Xiahou Ying and the others heard their master's voice, they were immediately enlivened. Adding on the fact that they had been fighting ferociously for a long time, they gathered together, blocking the tip of the spear. In the blink of an eye, they saw a chance of survival.
Long Tianyu, Ge Li, Yu Feng and more than a hundred of the riders charged straight ahead, their might powerful and flourishing, the five hundred Qin men had already been killed by Xiahou Ying's group of one hundred and two hundred, and currently, the Dragon Army was using their elite troops to fight against three hundred to four hundred ordinary Qin Wei, gaining the upper hand, furthermore, the Qin Wei was afraid of Long Tianyu's reputation, because at this time, they had lost their fighting spirit and could only retreat.
In an instant, the allied elites killed two hundred to three hundred of their own, and the rest of the Qin Soldier ran off towards the forest.
Long Tianyu rode in front of Xiahou Ying and jumped down from his horse. With your loyalty, I am grateful, but you cannot do something rash next time, immediately get on the horse. Let's go, the Qin Army is catching up. "
A few soldiers led their horses forward, and without wasting any time, they galloped towards the east side of the foothills. At the entrance of a relatively low valley, they met Li Yueyao and more than thirty people who were waiting for him, and Zhang Yun, who was injured, was among them.
That was why the Qin Army was no longer afraid. Instead, she wanted to be the first to capture the leader of the allied army alive, so that she could change the reward to a reward.
Seeing that the sky was already dark, the road was blurred and the wilderness was completely dark. Everyone could not stay and think of leaving Qin Army behind as soon as possible, but the enemy had a huge advantage in numbers, so they could split into groups to give chase and take turns to rest and waste time with the allied forces.
Long Tianyu and Li Yueyao stood at the top of the mountain, looking at the continuous mountain range. After a period of silence, the sky was like ink, the stars were dark, and as far as the eye could see, the night sky was vast.
Li Yueyao snuggled up to him and asked: "What is Long Lang thinking?"
Long Tianyu sighed: "Of course we're considering how to get rid of the pursuers. If this continues, we won't be able to win, if we provoke me, we'll have to kill these Qin dogs."
Li Yueyao held onto his big palm, and locked her fingers together: "We walked quickly for a whole day and night, according to the previous route, we can already take the water route to the west side of the Huai Lake to head south, but here we can go from the north to the east and south side of the mountain range rolling up and down, it should be the land of the Qi Province, following the previous route we are already far away."
Long Tianyu said in a stunned voice, "You're saying … We, the Northern Qin Army have taken the wrong path? "
Li Yueyao nodded. "You can put it this way, has Long Lang thought of who this group of Qin Soldier are and why they are ambushing us?"
Long Tianyu shook his head: "I am also wondering, willing to listen to Sister Yao's wise views!"
Li Yueyao laughed: This is called Wisdom Realm, there's bound to be a mistake, Master has forgotten about it, I just recalled that we were sending troops from Pengcheng this time, we went around from homoeostatic to rescue Master Zhao, at that time Zhang Han had already expected it, he sent a few men to ambush at the border of Qi Zhao, knowing that he was surrounded by Master Zhao, he had escaped unnoticed and did not get ambushed; and upon his return, he coincidentally met a group of Qin Soldier at the border forest, they were originally there to obstruct Zhao's reinforcements, they did not expect to meet again on the narrow road.
Long Tianyu smacked his forehead and thought of something, "Oh, that's right, I have forgotten about the Qin Army who was obstructing me halfway, I thought that they might not be able to return after ambushing me, but it turns out that these few generals were afraid that they would be unable to return without success, and were worried that Zhang Han would punish them, so they did not return to the border to spy on the other side of the situation.
Li Yueyao sighed, "That's right …" Before she could finish her words, a wave of smoke rose up into the sky from the south.
Long Tianyu was startled: "Not good, it is a signal from the Qin Army, nearby, there are enemy soldiers approaching, get on your horses and leave!"
