Three thousand miles in exile

The moment the south city gate was broken, the cavalry of the Chu army rushed out of the Yangguan Pass with King Rui and Zhou Chan engulfed, and ten thousand cavalry ripped through the siege of the infantry of the Yan army like sharp swords.

Liu Zhan personally led the elite under his command as the rear of the cavalry.

Cao Zhuang, Wei Chenggui, and Guo Donghu led the soldiers to charge at the city gate and the Yan soldiers pouring into the city. At Huang Wushi, they took the opportunity to re-top the collapsed city gate.

Liu Zhan, Zhang Xiaoman and others surrounded and suppressed the Yan soldiers who had rushed into the city.

Perhaps it was because [-] cavalry broke through the gap when they broke out, and the number of Yan soldiers pouring into the south gate dropped sharply, so Liu Zhan and others had to re-roof the gate.

"Sandbags! Stones! Wooden stakes! Hurry up and move them over to hold up the city gate! A few more people!" Liu Zhan yelled hoarse. "Chenggui Dahu leads people to guard the city gate! Da Zhuang, your men will follow me to defend the city wall!"

Liu Zhan led people back to the city wall. He thought that the city wall would definitely be occupied by Yan soldiers, but he didn't expect that the number of Yan soldiers on the city wall was far less than Liu Zhan imagined.

He was puzzled, and suddenly thought of something, Liu Zhan rushed up to the highest attic above the city gate without looking back.

Standing in the attic and looking far away, I can see that the cavalry of the Chu army led by Zhou Chan has disappeared, and the Yan army stationed in the distance is chasing towards the direction of the Chu army cavalry to break through like a snake.

At the same time, the Yan army stopped replenishing the battlefield outside the Yangguan Pass, and the true intention of the Yan army finally surfaced.

Yan Jun's goal is Prince Rui!

Liu Zhan was horrified, Zhou Chan fell for it again!

Everything in Liu Zhan's mind was linked together, as long as the Yan army captured Prince Rui, they could use Prince Rui's order to ask Emperor Xuan to cede the Cangxia Plain.

The Yan army's goal was not to give Yang Pass from the very beginning, and they stormed the city violently just to force Prince Rui to break out of the encirclement!

No, it doesn't matter even if Prince Rui doesn't break through, as long as Prince Rui is at Yang Pass, he won't be able to escape!

From the time when Zhou Chan brought Prince Rui to the front line, from when he divided his troops to Yangguan to attack Hecang County, Zhou Chan has been pushing Prince Rui under the sharp claws of the enemy every step of the way.

"Fucking idiot!" Liu Zhan yelled, he rushed down the tower immediately and rode his horse to the north gate to look for Xu Muyuan.

No matter whether Prince Rui is captured or killed, none of these generals can escape!

Except for generals like Xu Muyuan who were born in a noble family who could survive, all of them who were born in a poor family would be buried by Prince Rui.

"What did you say!!" Xu Muyuan held his heart and almost lost his anger on the spot.

"That stupid old man Zhou Chan! The enemy's situation is unknown, how could he rashly lead Prince Rui to break through!"

Xu Muyuan was covered in blood, and his gray beard was full of stains. He fought hard at the North City Gate, but Zhou Chan escaped. He stomped his feet angrily.

"Giyangguan has not yet reached the critical point of the city being destroyed, why did he run away! If Prince Rui is captured, the entire Northern Army will have to be buried with him!"

Xu Muyuan led troops to guard the north gate, but Zhou Chan would break through and escape from the south gate.

Liu Zhan couldn't stop Zhou Chan, and then again Zhou Chan wanted to run away, even Xu Muyuan couldn't stop him.

Liu Zhan didn't want to give up just yet. "I implore General Xu to assign a cavalry force to my subordinates, and my subordinates are willing to rush to the rescue of Prince Rui!"

The Yan army had already divided the main force to pursue Zhou Chan and King Rui, so the pressure on Yangguan would not be so great, Xu Muyuan is a general who can distinguish the importance, so he immediately agreed.

"I only have [-] cavalrymen under my command to bring you all, the safety of Prince Rui is entrusted to you!"

Liu Zhan accepted the order with fists folded, and took Xu Muyuan's seal to order troops. He himself had two thousand cavalry under his command, making a total of eight thousand cavalry.

It is conservatively estimated that the Yan Army sent at least [-] cavalry to pursue King Rui. This battle was close to death, but Liu Zhan had no choice.

"Chenggui, Xiaoman, you two stay at Yangguan, and you must guard the south gate. I have told General Xu that General Xu will lead the whole city." Liu Zhan turned to look at the cavalry behind him.

"Da Zhuang, Da Hu, you two follow me to lead the cavalry to break through and rescue Prince Rui!"

At the same time, on the side of Prince Rui and Zhou Chan.

The cavalry of the Chu army galloped across the wilderness. In the billowing dust, a large number of iron cavalry of the Yan army could be vaguely seen approaching the Chu army in an encircling manner. The speed was so fast that Zhou Chan's liver was torn apart.

"Don't stop! Get out!" Zhou Sui shouted at the top of his lungs.

As long as they pause for a moment, Yan Jun's iron cavalry will definitely run over and tear them to pieces!

The distance between the two armies is getting closer and closer. As long as the Yan army shoots arrows, it will definitely shoot the Chu army into a sieve, but they didn't. Zhou Sui immediately understood the Yan army's intentions. They wanted to capture Prince Rui alive. Killed Prince Rui by mistake.

Looking at the posture of the Yan army, they will not give up until they capture Prince Rui alive, and there is still a long way for them to escape back to Jinyang, and this road is all flat wilderness, which is where the Yan army's iron cavalry can best play their strengths battlefield.

It was almost impossible for them to get out, Zhou Sui quickly made a choice in his mind.

"General! Please listen to the general's arrangement later!"

At this time Zhou Chan was too frightened to think, he knew that Zhou Suiding had his strategy, so he said without hesitation. "Save your life! Be sure to save your life!"

Whose life will you save?Naturally, it is to protect Zhou Chan's own life!

"The general obeys orders!" Zhou Sui said, what Yan Jun wanted was Prince Rui, as long as he separated from Prince Rui and escaped, Yan Jun would definitely not pursue Zhou Chan any longer.

As for how furious Prince Rui would be when Emperor Xuan was captured, the Zhou family was responsible for all these, and for the deputy general, he only wanted Zhou Chan to survive.

Zhou Suichao's young general made a gesture to divide the troops, and the [-] cavalry were immediately divided into two groups, one group of cavalry carried Prince Rui to the west, and the other group of cavalry carried Zhou Chan to the east.

Prince Rui was already in a daze at this moment, why did Zhou Chan divide his troops?Prince Rui only felt the bone-chilling cold.

General Yan Jun's eyes were sharp, and he saw the two coaches of Chu Army separated at a glance.

What Zhou Chan wore was the armor of the same color as the generals under his command, only Prince Rui wore the silver armor.

General Yan Jun had inquired about Prince Rui's information a long time ago, and knowing that Prince Rui was wearing silver armor, he did not hesitate to divide his troops into two groups and personally lead people to pursue Prince Rui.

At this moment, Liu Zhan led [-] cavalry to chase after the horseshoe marks. In the evening, the sky became darker and darker. When Liu Zhan saw the traces of dividing troops on the ground, his heart sank again.

"Boss! Where are we going?" Cao Zhuang asked anxiously.

Looking at the traces on the ground, Liu Zhan said without hesitation. "Go west!"

To the east is the closest direction back to Jinyang City, to the west is Furongpingding, the reason why the troops are divided is naturally Zhou Chan's golden cicada's plan to get rid of the shell, how could it be to go east after Prince Rui was abandoned.

Liu Zhan led the cavalry to the west, and after chasing them not far away, they heard the sound of killing in the distance. In the distance in front of them were [-] iron cavalry of the Yan army!Eight thousand light cavalry of the Chu army were not enough to kill the opponent one round.

At this time, a strong wind blew in the wilderness, blowing from behind Liu Zhan.

Liu Zhanji immediately made a decision from the heart.

At this time, the Yan army had surrounded the Chu army where Prince Rui was, and the five thousand cavalry gradually shrank under the encirclement and suppression of the Yan army.

Prince Rui's whole body was shaking like chaff, he didn't even dare to lift his head while hugging the horse's back.

At this moment, billowing smoke rose from the wilderness behind Yan Jun. Today, the westerly wind blows in the Cangxia Plain, and the wind boosts the fire.

The prairie fire swept towards the Yan army, but it burned for three miles in the blink of an eye, and it burned to the front, and the Yan army was in chaos for a while.

The vegetation on the Cangxia Plain is mostly dense grass, and midsummer is the season when the vegetation is flourishing. This fire directly ignited the entire wasteland.

Cao Zhuang didn't expect that the single spark from his ignition book could start a prairie fire, so he was frightened on the spot and asked Liu Zhan in a panic. "Boss, will we burn Prince Rui to death?"

Liu Zhan's face was deep, and the fire in the sky was reflected in his cold pupils.

He didn't answer Cao Zhuang, but Liu Zhan had already given the answer in his heart, the dead Prince Rui could not be used by the Yan army, if he couldn't be rescued, he had to sacrifice his life for the country.

The fire startled the war horses of the Yan army, and the iron cavalry of the Yan army, which were originally like iron barrels, were in a mess.

Prince Rui's personal guards took the opportunity to lead Prince Rui out of the encirclement, the fire was about to reach their feet, the cavalry of the Yan army couldn't control the frightened horses, and the neighing sound resounded across the wilderness for a while.

"Bastard! Let me chase you!" General Yan Jun was so angry that he vomited blood, and he was about to surround and kill the Chu army layer by layer, so why did a fire suddenly break out.

The flames soaring into the sky were like a sweeping fire dragon, and the billowing smoke was blown by the west wind so that everyone could not open their eyes.

Amidst the dense smoke, arrows rained down from the sky, and the generals of the Yan army immediately felt bad, they had been tricked!

On Liu Zhan's side, the troops were also divided into two groups. Xu Muyuan gave Liu Zhan [-] of the [-] cavalry to set fire to contain the Yan army's iron cavalry, and Liu Zhan led the rest of the cavalry to detour to find King Rui. see the corpse!

General Yan Jun personally led his subordinates to pursue Prince Rui's fleeing team. Yan Jun's iron cavalry was in disarray because of the fire, but it didn't mean they lost their fighting power.

Due to the siege by the fire, only half of the cavalry lost their way, and there were tens of thousands of cavalry chasing after Prince Rui to break out of the encirclement.

"Cough cough! Cough cough!" Prince Rui was so smoked that tears and snot came out uncontrollably. He felt that he was going to die, and he didn't know whether he was dizzy or frightened. fell off the horse.

The guards who had been protecting him didn't even have time to react, and the Yan army behind him immediately charged forward.

The sun in the sky had already sunk half of its body below the horizon, and night and dusk alternated. In the intertwined flames and thick smoke, a cavalry rushed into the formation and broke up the encirclement of the Yan army.

Guo Donghu was so powerful that he picked up Prince Rui who was on the ground with one hand and pressed it on the horse's back. King Rui was so smoked that he thought it was the Yan army who had captured him, so he struggled vigorously.

Guo Donghu didn't care how noble his status was, he slapped Prince Rui straight away with a slap.

In the chaos, Guo Donghu blew the whistle he was holding in his mouth, this was the secret signal for Prince Rui's success.

Each of Liu Zhan's personal soldiers had a whistle, whoever rescued Prince Rui would blow the whistle, and everyone would break out in the agreed direction immediately after getting the signal.

Under the gradually dark night, the cavalry intertwined on both sides were in chaos.

"Chasing!!" General Yan Jun was furious.

Liu Zhan led the cavalry to the top of Furongping. If it was closer to Jinyang City, the distance would be closer, but the ordinary cavalry of the Chu Army could not run faster than the iron cavalry of the Yan Army.

Furongpingding was close at hand, but the iron cavalry of the Yan army was too tight, so Liu Zhan divided his troops again and left all the [-] cavalry that Xu Muyuan gave him to restrain the Yan army.

Liu Zhan's two thousand cavalry led Prince Rui to the top of Furongping, and the surrounding trees gradually grew.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and the terrain was no longer flat as it got deeper into the forest area. The top of Furongping was a hilly land, and the deeper the terrain became, the more difficult it was to walk.

The Yan army had a large number of iron cavalry, even if Liu Zhan divided his troops to contain them, there were still nearly [-] cavalry in hot pursuit.

Riding a horse in the woods under the night is not fast at all. The biggest advantage of Liu Zhan's personal soldiers is fighting in the mountains. Once they enter the mountains, they will have confidence.

"What's going on?" General Yan Jun was surprised to find when he chased to a valley, there were only horses left by Chu Jun in the forest, and Chu Jun had disappeared.

"If they lose their horses, they won't be able to go far. They've all scattered to search!"

More than 4000 cavalry immediately spread out like a big net and moved forward.

Suddenly one after another horses neighed and fell to the ground. The general of the Yan army thought there was an ambush and shouted to gather and kill them.

I didn't want to rush up to see that the vines were entangled between the trees, and the trap was rough. Because of the darkness, Yan Jun caught the road.

The cavalry has no advantage in the mountains and forests, and the dense forest alone divides the cavalry into scattered teams.

General Yan Jun ordered the soldiers to make simple torches and search for them, and soon saw the traces. "over there!"

Liu Zhan never thought that he could beat the Yan army. 2000 people escaped in the mountains and forests, no matter how careful they were, there would be no traces.

At this time, Prince Rui was already out of breath, but Yan Jun was still chasing him, Prince Rui was physically and mentally exhausted, his legs were shaking from exhaustion, Liu Zhan asked two strong soldiers to carry him away.

Seeing the Yan army behind him getting closer and closer, Prince Rui was already on the verge of collapse. "Liu Zhan, am I going to die here?"

Liu Zhan held his knife and looked at the Yan army who was chasing down the mountain, and he was ready to die. "Prince Rui, please take off your armor and give it to me."

"You, what do you want to do?" Prince Rui was shocked, did Liu Zhan intend to disguise himself as him?

The soldiers hurriedly took off Prince Rui's armor, and Liu Zhan quickly put on this set of silver armor.

Liu Zhan looked at Prince Rui firmly. "If this subordinate dies here, please Prince Rui treat his family well, and please leave Captain Cen Zhou to his younger brother Li Xiaolian."

Prince Rui nodded with a mournful face and spoke incoherently. "If you survive this catastrophe, this king, this king will definitely treat you kindly, and you will definitely treat him kindly."

Liu Zhan said resolutely: "At Huang Wushi, take a few people with you and take Prince Rui to Jinyang."

Prince Rui could no longer walk, so Huang Wushi carried him on his back. "My lord, please come back safely!"

After finishing speaking, Huang Wushi gritted his teeth and led Prince Rui into the dense forest.

"My fate is up to me." Liu Zhan murmured, holding his saber and looking at the approaching flames down the mountain, his heart became more and more peaceful.

Liu Zhan said in a deep voice: "Brothers, your family, Mr. Song, will make proper arrangements. Don't worry about it. Tonight, the winner will make a contribution, and the loser will be a hero again 18 years later!"

Everyone raised their knives. "kill--!"

The vast night covered up the bloody fighting in the depths of the forest, and the field soldiers trained by Liu Zhan had their own strengths.

When Yan Jun caught up, he couldn't see anyone there. When he got close, the field soldiers ambushing in the bushes immediately rose up and cut off the horse's legs. The horse was frightened and fell over.

The general of the Yan Army was furious, if not for Crown Prince Yan's death order to capture Prince Rui alive, he would not have been so passive.

The silver-white armor was particularly conspicuous in the dark night, and Yan Bing almost killed himself in the direction of Liu Zhan.

Liu Zhan slashed at the enemy soldiers time and time again, and the blood soon stained the silver armor red. Cao Zhuang and Guo Donghu were always around him, blocking a lot for him, and none of Liu Zhan's personal guards retreated.

Everyone has only one belief in their hearts, kill all the Yan soldiers and live!

"Ah!" Song Fenglin suddenly sat up in shock.

The room was silent, except for the chirping of insects and frogs outside the window.

Song Fenglin couldn't help panting, and still had lingering fears.

It had been a long time since he had dreamed of being tortured in death row, why did he dream again tonight, the dream was so real, he didn't even know it was a dream.

"Father?" Liu Youning rubbed his eyes and sat up.

Song Fenglin rubbed his head comfortingly. "Go to sleep, it's still early."

The child lay down and fell asleep again in a daze, but Song Fenglin didn't feel sleepy at all and just kept his eyes open until dawn.

When the first ray of morning light penetrated the dense forest, the morning light swept across the corpses lying in the forest.

Liu Zhan pierced the long knife into the chest of the general of the Yan army. He gasped heavily and didn't even have the strength to stab the knife. His brain became dizzy one after another.

"Boss!!!"

"Head!!"

"It's not good! Come on!!"

They won the vicious battle, and less than 500 of the two thousand brothers survived. Cao Zhuang rushed over when he heard the sound, and then he was completely dazed.

Liu Zhan fell to the ground with his back to the sky, and a knife was stuck in his abdomen.

At the moment when Liu Zhan stabbed the general through his chest, the general of the Yan army plunged the knife into Liu Zhan's body at the same time.

"Ah!!" Cao Zhuang plopped down on his knees. "Boss, boss!"

"Quick! Come back to Jinyang!!"

"Can't draw the knife!"

"Get the stretcher! Quick!"
