There is a strong smell of blood and screams all around, and occasionally there is blood splashing over. The blood is still warm when it touches the body. This is scary enough, but these are not as good as a severed hand flying towards you.

.

The fifth prince was almost frightened out of his wits, and ran wildly all the way, whipping the horse whip in his hand so fast that he wanted to make the horse fly into the sky.

I don’t know how long I ran, but the screams and wails all around finally disappeared, as did the vicious Beirong soldiers.

Only then did the fifth prince's heart go back to the distance. He looked at Yuan Xu in shock: "Today, there are many of you." If it weren't for Yuan Xu, he would have died on the battlefield several times.

Yuan Xu also looked very unhappy and said, "This is what it should be."

After hearing this, the fifth prince secretly decided in his heart that he would thank Yuan Xu again later and win this man to his side.

It's really rare to find such a person who has great martial arts skills and doesn't talk much.

At this time, Mr. Li's slightly urgent voice came from behind: "Where should we go?"

After hearing this, the fifth prince hurriedly turned around and saw that Young Master Li, Second Young Master Tang, Fourth Young Master Xu and most of the noble princes who went north together this time were there. He couldn't help but feel overjoyed and almost said, "Why are you here too?"

Fortunately, he still had some sense and hurriedly swallowed these words and said: "Let's go back to the city quickly."

If you ask the question, it will inevitably reveal that you are just burying your head in running for your life, regardless of other facts, which would be too embarrassing.

Mr. Li said: "The Bei Rong soldiers are chasing them towards the small town. If we go in that direction, we don't know if we will meet the Bei Rong soldiers." His face was ugly.

The fifth prince said quickly: "Just be careful. Besides, let's go together. At least there will be someone to take care of you."

He was a little afraid of him and Yuan Xu alone. After all, there were so many people in the Beirong Army. No matter how powerful Yuan Xu was, he couldn't defeat one against a hundred. With so many noble sons here and their guards around them, everyone worked together.

, the combat effectiveness is much stronger. In addition, Mr. Li and Mr. Tang are both masters. If there is danger, these two masters will definitely look after him.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The Second Young Master Tang looked back at the battlefield not far away where corpses were strewn with corpses. His face was ugly: "I don't know how many soldiers died in this battle."

The other noble gentlemen also looked over, their faces ugly, and they couldn't say a word.

From here, we can clearly see that most of the people lying on the ground are soldiers wearing Daxing Dynasty, and only occasionally, there are a few Beirong soldiers.

Bodies were everywhere, covering the snow on the ground. You can imagine how heavy the casualties were.

The fifth prince's expression was also very ugly, and he said: "That damn girl Xiao Yao got it right. Those dogs like Beirong really have a conspiracy."

When everyone heard this, they remembered that Xiao Yao had gone to lobby the fifth prince first and then Zhang Yunian, but was ridiculed by the two, and the look on his face became even darker.

It would have been better if either of them had listened to Xiao Yao's advice.

Instead of a full-scale counterattack, they go out to the city to fight every day and make some small achievements. If they accumulate a lot, they will have a good resume when they return to the capital.

However, with the full-scale counterattack, everything was lost. I was afraid that my name would be recorded in the history books along with this battle and be infamy for thousands of years.

At this time, Yuan Xu said: "This place is not far from the battlefield. I'm afraid the pursuers will catch up soon, so let's leave."

The fifth prince nodded hurriedly, immediately greeted everyone, and chose the direction of the small town.

Little did he know that Mr. Li was right. Not far away, he heard the sound of horse hooves and the chattering words of Beirong.

The fifth princes knew something was wrong, so they quickly turned their horses and left.

However, the Beirong Army had already heard the movement, and the chaotic and numerous sounds of horse hooves and footsteps could be heard.

Those Beirong troops are actually chasing us!

No one could care about anything else, and they hurriedly whipped their riding whips in an attempt to distance themselves.

However, the horses of the Daxing Dynasty were never as good as the horses of the Beirong Dynasty. Not far away, they found that the sound of horse hooves and footsteps behind them became more and more rapid.

The fifth prince thought of the gushing blood, the severed hands and feet, and the wailing sounds. He was shocked and frightened, and asked hurriedly: "What should I do?"

If he hadn't been afraid of provoking public anger, he would have wanted to ask a few noble gentlemen who were commoners to stay and block him.

Mr. Li said: "Our horses cannot outrun the Northern Army horses, and we are afraid that we will be overtaken in an instant. For the current plan, we can only dismount, drive the horses in another direction, and then we can escape in another direction."

The Second Young Master Tang immediately said: "This is the only way we can do it." After saying that, he immediately looked around and began to look for a place.

The fifth prince was only focused on escaping for his life and had no time to think too much. When he heard this, he immediately asked when he would abandon his horse and where he would go from.

Young Master Li and Second Young Master Tang comforted him, but looked around.

Not far away, he heard that the pursuers behind him were getting closer and closer. Xu Fourth Young Master suddenly pointed ahead and said: "There is a fork in the road ahead. Why don't we abandon our horses in front and drive our horses to the left while we escape to the right?"

"

Mr. Li hurriedly said: "Okay." Then he said, "Get off the horse, you run quickly, I will drive the horse to the left, and I will meet you then."

After reaching the fork, the fifth prince and others got off their horses and ran to the right without looking back.

Mr. Li immediately drove his horse and continued to run to the left. As soon as he ran a few steps away, he saw the second Mr. Tang and the fourth Mr. Xu on horseback. He couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

He was still feeling very uncomfortable when he saw the fifth prince and other noble princes dismounting and running away without saying a word and not even looking at him.

Fortunately, I still have two companions.

Xiao Yao led his soldiers on the mountain road where there was no way to see, walking and stopping for a while, the speed was very slow.

Not far away, I heard shouts from the left.

Lin Shudao: "It seems like a war has begun."

Niu Bin, a veteran assigned by Zhang Yunian, said with envy: "It's a pity that we can't catch up and can only clean the battlefield." Thinking that we had no credit, he couldn't help but feel anxious and said, "Let's go faster. There is a small hill in front of us. Let's climb it."

If you go up there, you can at least see the battle situation."

Xiao Yao was worried about Zhang Yunian's counterattack, but he agreed with her idea by speeding up, so he nodded and asked everyone to speed up.

Lin Shu and other soldiers trained by Xiao Yao are all elite soldiers, and they can climb quickly with ease, but Niu Bin and others are not so good. Although they have been trained by Xiao Yao, the training time is still short.

The effect is not obvious.

They had not gone far when they heard another burst of shouting. The sound after that was a mess, including the neighing of horses, the sound of horse hooves, the wails of people, and the triumphant croaking of people.

The sound was loud, like thunder.

The surrounding ground seemed to be shaking because of the deafening shouts.

Listening to the rapid sound of horse hooves and the chaotic voices of people, Niu Ben's expression suddenly changed: "What's going on?"

Xiao Yao's face was gloomy: "Speed ​​up." Something must have happened.

Lin Shu nodded several times and climbed faster.

Xiao Yao didn't care about Niu Ben and others at this time, and said: "Let's go up first, and climb slowly. We will wait for you on the small hillock." After saying that, he speeded up and quickly climbed up the small hillock. .

Before she reached the top of the small hillock, she saw from a high place that Daxing Dynasty's army was scattered in all directions, and was soon overwhelmed by the Beirong army.

Lin Shu's face changed drastically: "Mr. Qian, the decline is so obvious, I'm afraid the whole army will be almost wiped out!"

Xiao Yao's face was also extremely gloomy, but he didn't speak.

The situation is so obvious that there is no need to say more.

Afterwards, no one spoke, and everyone lay down on the mountain, watching the thousands of Beirong troops chasing the Daxing Dynasty army with great momentum.

Xiao Yao grabbed a handful of snow with both hands and held it tightly in his hands.

It seems that that is the willful old man Zhang Yunian!

Someone sobbed in a low voice: "We can't save them." They were too far away and their number was too small. They could do nothing but watch helplessly.

Niu Ben and others caught up not long after. They also knew what had happened, and they all had sad looks on their faces.

Those people were all ordinary soldiers like them, and just like that, they died one after another under the sword of Beirong.

Seeing the battlefield gradually becoming silent, the Beirong army chased the remaining Daxing troops toward the small town. Lin Shu looked at Xiao Yao: "President Qian, what should we do?"

Xiao Yao crushed the snowball in his hand, stared at the retreating Beirong Army, and said: "The Beirong Army has at least more than 100,000 people. This time they came out in full force and achieved a great victory. I'm afraid they will be defeated by the way." The city is here."

Lin Shuniu ran around a few times, his ugly face getting even more ugly.

If the Beirong army really attacked the city, given the emptiness of the small town, they would probably succeed very quickly.

Yes, it is true that some of Daxing Dynasty's troops retreated and had time to enter the city, but such a small number of troops had just suffered a defeat and had no morale. They could withstand the mighty Beirong who had just won a victory. Army?

Even if you can withstand it for one day, you can't withstand it for two days.

If the city is destroyed, what's the use of a small team of several hundred people surrounding it from behind?

Once discovered by the Beirong Army, a few hundred of them would be turned into flesh in an instant against more than 100,000 Beirong Army.

Lin Shu remembered the old lady's instructions to him before he came out, and quickly looked at Niu Ben: "You have marched and fought before, are you familiar with this area? Is there a place to take us back?"

For the current plan, we can only take a detour back and try our best to save Xiao Yao.

Niu Ben also knew that he was in a hurry and said hurriedly: "I'm not familiar with this area, I'll go and ask."

At this time, Xiao Yao said: "No need to ask, we are not going back, we will continue to move forward."

Lin Shu and Niu Ben were shocked and looked at Xiao Yao in disbelief: "It's pointless for us to keep going."

Xiao Yao said: "This battle was a huge defeat. Almost the entire army was wiped out. Even if we escape, we will be punished when we go back. It's better to fight."

Lin Shu said nothing.

Compared to this, he hopes Xiao Yao lives.
To be continued...
