C19 Escaping into Danger in a Panic

Who killed Qiu Liju?

Countless pairs of eyes looked towards the back of the large standard and discovered that the person who killed Qiu Liju was actually Yan Rou!

At this moment, everyone shouted in shock, "How can it be Yan Rou? "How could it be Yan Rou!"

When Gongsun Xu had retreated from the city, Yan Rou swore to kill Yan Rou in public. On the platform a few hours ago, when Wei Dun had revealed Gongsun Xu's scheme and announced that the entire army had sided with Qiu Liju, Yan Rou had forcefully suppressed them and forced them out of the city. Tens of thousands of people had finally left the city to seek help from Qiu Liju; on the way to King's Slope, one of the soldiers who had not yet resigned himself to the fate of the Xianbei People led a few men to attack the carriage beside Xianyu Fu.

No matter how you looked at it, Yan Rou was determined to rely on Qiu Liju! Why did he cut Qiu Liju down from his horse in the blink of an eye?

"Whiz!" The sharp, piercing sound of an arrow breaking through the air broke the strange and momentary silence in front of the Falling King Slope.

After shooting the arrow, Gongsun Xu didn't even look at the result. He pulled down the Refined Iron Mask on his helmet, put away his longbow, turned his horse around and ran towards the small hill in the south.

"Ah!" Su Puyan cried out miserably while holding the arrow. If it wasn't for him dodging fast, the arrow would have hit his throat.

Yan Rou crouched down and ran after Gongsun Xu with her horse.

Luo Wang Slope sat in the west facing the east. To the north was a four to five hundred feet high precipitous hill. Two to three miles to the south were a few small hills. At this time, at the foot of Falling King Slope was Qiu Liju's five thousand elite riders, and to the east was the thousand plus cavalry of Xianbei led by Xianyu Fu. Behind the cavalry of Xianbei were forty thousand men led by Liu He, filling a radius of several miles.

In such a situation, the only way for Gongsun Xu and Yan Rou to escape was south.

After Gongsun Xu and Yan Rou ran for more than a dozen steps, Su Puyan finally reached back and yelled furiously, "Shoot them!"

The five thousand cavalrymen that Qiu Liju brought along seemed to have awoken from a dream. They shouted angrily as they drew their bows and released arrows. In an instant, arrows rained down like rain from the sky as they charged towards Gongsun Xu and Yan Rou.

Gongsun Xu's legs were tightly holding onto the horse's abdomen. His left hand took off the small round shield behind him, while his right hand grabbed the long spear and swung it to the side, blocking the arrows shot at the war horse. With a series of clangs, the rear part of the horse's butt was pierced by arrows. Gongsun Xu was hit by a dozen arrows in a row, but luckily, his armor and mask were very thick and strong, and the arrows that pierced through the armor were at most the last of strong crossbow s. As a result, it looked extremely miserable, but in reality, he had only suffered a few superficial wounds.

Yan Rou was not shielded by the shield, but his riding skills were astonishing. Hearing the sharp sound of arrows piercing through the air, he somersaulted onto his horse, his broadsword dancing so steadily that he managed to block a large number of arrows behind him.

Su Puyan was furious. He clenched his teeth and pulled out the three foot long arrow from his shoulder. Ignoring the blood that was gushing out of his shoulder, he took the lead and chased after it with the mace in one hand. The others continued to shoot as they followed behind Su Puyan. The scene was extremely chaotic.

Near the big standard, Xianyu Fu, who had lost an arm, climbed up with great difficulty. He looked at everything in front of him with a blank expression. For a moment, his heart felt dead.

At this time, the thousand odd cavalry of Xianbei s brought by Xianyu Fu also shouted loudly and rushed towards Gongsun Xu and Yan Rou like a swarm of bees.

Tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers were flabbergasted. They had no idea who to help, so they could only stand on the spot and watch.

"Surround the Xianbei People! "Surrender and don't die! Those who resist will be killed!" Suddenly, a loud shout came from the back of the group. Several men in black urged their horses to rush to the front of the group. The one leading the charge was surprisingly Liu He, who had been unconscious in the carriage all this time!

The soldiers who did not know what was going on were stunned again.

When Xianyu Fu saw Liu He, his chaotic mind suddenly woke up. All of a sudden, the questions in his mind were answered. He sighed to the sky. He had thought that he could toy with others, but he had never expected that he would always be in the scheme of others!

At this time, Wei Dun, Wang Wei, and Yang Hong shouted together, "Liu He has orders to surround Xianbei People, surrender and avoid death, and kill those who resist!"

The cavalry of Xianbei led by Xianyu Fu was stunned. Some of them wanted to continue chasing after Gongsun Xu and Yan Rou while others tried to escape in the chaos. Three waves of people were pushing and bumping against each other. In an instant, over a hundred people were pushed down from their horses, and the crowd became a mess.

Liu He looked up and saw Gongsun Xu and Yan Rou rushing to the foot of the hill. He let out a sigh of relief and shouted, "Wei Dun, you will bring the two thousand cavalrymen around to stop Su Puyan!"

"Here!" With a wave of his hand, Wei Dun led his two thousand cavalrymen under him to bypass the chaotic mess and rushed towards Su Puyan, who was several hundred steps away.

"Wang Wei, you will bring the one thousand cavalrymen to the foot of Falling King Slope to block Xianbei People's retreat path!"

"Here!" Wang Wei raised his spear high up and shouted in a rough voice, "Children, follow grandpa and kick Xianbei People's butt!"

The soldiers under Wang Wei burst into laughter. After swearing and swearing, they rushed out from behind Wang Wei.

"This prick!" Liu He laughed and scolded Yang Hong, "Yang Hong, bring 10,000 steps forward!"

Liu He was a pure and filial person, and he did have a weak character. However, being born into a clan member of the Han Dynasty, he had learned how to read literature and practice martial arts since he was young. It was not surprising for him to make the right decision in the face of such a simple situation. It was just that there was an 80% chance that he would be able to kill the enemy. The nine guilds were all flustered. This was also a common problem for the majority of the aristocratic families' children.

"Here!" Yang Hong saluted with his fists and gave the order while waving the order flag: "Form the formation! The blademaster has two wings, while the archer has two wings.

Liu He's cavalry could be considered elite soldiers, but the infantry had been sparing in their training. After receiving the order, they pushed and shoved each other, and after a while, they started to gather.

On the other side, Gongsun Xu, who had rushed to the foot of the hill, shot dozens of arrows, turning into a hedgehog. His right arm, which was waving its long spear, was in pain. He saw Wei Dun leading his men and rushing over. It was just that Su Puyan was only thirty to forty steps away from him, while Wei Dun and the cavalry of Xianbei were separated by a group of people.

Plop! Crash! *

Suddenly, Yan Rou, who was about ten meters away from Gongsun Xu, felt her arm ache. The movement of her broadsword was slightly slower. Her hip was shot more than a dozen times in an instant and fell to the ground with a miserable scream. Yan Rou tumbled to the ground and started rolling. All she could do was fall to the ground, not knowing which direction to go.

A hint of hesitation flashed across Gongsun Xu's eyes. He turned his horse around and dashed back to save Yan Rou.

In this short period of time, Su Puyan was already more than ten steps away. When he saw the situation, he shouted angrily, "Shoot Gongsun Xu's son!"

When Su Puyan gave the order, he ignored a problem: The distance between him and Gongsun Xu was too close. Other than the more than 100 people following closely behind him, the people behind him did not dare to shoot their arrows at all. Therefore, even though Su Puyan was anxious and angry, the number of arrows aimed at Gongsun Xu had decreased by more than half. There were only a few hundred arrows.

Gongsun Xu had a shield in his left hand and a spear in his right. He was only protecting his head and his horse, so he didn't care about the arrows that were shooting at other parts of his body. In the blink of an eye, he was already in front of Yan Rou. Throwing away his shield, he bent down and stretched out his left hand as he shouted, "Yan Academy Officer, quickly come up here!"

Yan Rou shook her head and didn't bother to pick up her broadsword. She grabbed Gongsun Xu's hand and jumped onto the horse's back.

Gongsun Xu pulled on the reins, and the horse that was charging forward stood up. Gongsun Xu raised the reins again, and the horse turned around and ran towards the small hill. Dozens of arrows were shot at them, but they were all blocked by Yan Rou's machete just in time.

Su Puyan was furious. He whipped his horse with all his might and vowed to tear Gongsun Xu and Yan Rou into pieces even if he had to chase them to the ends of the earth!

At this time, Chieftain shouted from behind: "Ku Wang, something bad happened! Our escape route has been cut off by the despicable Han people! "

Su Puyan looked back and saw that Wang Wei and his cavalry had reached the base of the Falling King's Slope and were turning around in formation.

Four or five hundred steps behind on the left side, Wei Dun was leading a large group of cavalrymen as they rapidly approached. They would arrive in front of them in about ten breaths' time.

The thing that the Xianbei People was most afraid of was the ten thousand man phalanx led by Yang Hong. Their swords and spears were like a forest as they slowly advanced, bringing about an enormous pressure to the. If their escape route was completely cut off, in such a narrow area, with the help of the cavalry led by Wang Wei and Wei Dun, this ten thousand man square formation was enough to crush all cavalry of Xianbei present!

Su Puyan made a prompt decision. He clenched his teeth and shouted loudly, "Warriors, charge forward with This King!" With that said, he raised the Wolf Fanged Mace that weighed over 70 pounds and threw it towards Yan Rou's back with a whooshing sound!

Su Puyan did not dare to turn around and return from Falling King Slope, as there was a high chance of being surrounded and annihilated. He also did not dare to climb over the steep hills to the north. Since he had already decided to rush towards the south, Su Puyan had to kill Gongsun Xu and Yan Rou no matter what. Otherwise, when he returned to Liucheng, he would be punished by Qiu Liju's trusted aides and relatives.

Just as Gongsun Xu stepped onto the small hill with his front legs, the heavy mace had already whizzed over and was about to hit Yan Rou's back with a flick of his finger. At this moment, Yan Rou could neither dodge nor evade, otherwise, Gongsun Xu would be shot down from his horse. He took a deep breath, and the muscles in his back tensed. He was prepared to take the hit head on!

Clang! The front end of the mace struck the middle of Yan Rou's back with a loud bang. The powerful impact caused him to suddenly rush forward. Gongsun Xu's body staggered and he was almost knocked off his horse.

Crack! The Steel Heart Protecting Mirror on her back was smashed into smithereens, and the shattered pieces pierced into the muscles of Yan Rou's back, causing blood to spurt out.

Pfft! Yan Rou spat out a mouthful of hot blood, her eyes turning black as she fainted. She couldn't help but fall to the ground.

Gongsun Xu looked back in a hurry and was shocked. His left hand reached out to grab Yan Rou's wrist but failed to grab her. He could only watch helplessly as Yan Rou fell to the ground. At this moment, the war horses were running up the hill. It was impossible for them to stop and turn around. However, Gongsun Xu did not want to give up on Yan Rou so easily. He was immediately in a dilemma.

Su Puyan laughed wildly as he grabbed a five-foot-long spear from one of his subordinates and threw it out. The lance was like a bolt of lightning as it shot towards Gongsun Xu in an afterimage!
