The governor of Youzhou, Shi Guoyi, and the vice-governor, Luo Yan, were discussing the escape route to the south with the officials.
There were obstacles in front and pursuers behind. The current situation could be said to be besieged on all sides!
After a long discussion, everyone decided to split into two groups. One group would be led by Guo Yong, who would lead the people along the waterway to Shandong.
Along the way, Luo Yan would lead six to seven thousand soldiers to Guanzhong, which would attract the attention of the Turks and help Chang 'an.
Luo Yan looked in the direction of Youzhou in a daze, somewhat dejected.
"Old Luo, it's time to set off." Guo Yong sighed.
"The eight hundred brothers of the Valiant Cavalry Battalion have yet to return…" Luo Yan mumbled.
Hearing this, many people felt their hearts ache. A burly man in armor said in a sad voice,
"Governor, they…I can't come back…"
"Ugh, let's go…"
Guo Yong's eyes were also filled with tears.
Nobody could imagine that Youzhou City, which looked impregnable, had been broken through in less than 3 days…
How ridiculous was that?
How many souls were sleeping in their homeland tonight?
"The Valiant Cavalry Battalion was personally handed over to me by the Viceroy. I'm the only one left alive. I... How can I face him?"
Luo Yan was very lonely.
The Valiant Cavalry Battalion was the most elite troop under Chai Shao. If all of them died in Youzhou…
This ending was too tragic!
"Our brothers are all good, none of them are cowards! We will definitely take revenge for this! Old Luo, definitely!"
Guo Yong patted him on the shoulder, his tone firm.
"Governor Luo, something bad has happened! There were thousands of cavalrymen charging towards them!”A scout ran back in panic.
" What?!"
"This... What should we do?"
"Mother!"
...
The crowd instantly exploded into an uproar. An unprecedented despair grew and spread among the crowd…
The Turkic barbarians were nothing less than a nightmare to everyone!
"Breaking Ranks Battalion, assemble!"
Luo Yan's face sank as he picked up the blood-stained long saber.
"Here!"
The response in the dark night was sonorous and powerful, and it seemed so resolute!
This trip would result in nine out of ten deaths!
In a short while, thousands of light cavalry walked out. Each of them was injured and looked a little tired, but…
Who would cower in such a situation?
"Fight!"
A long whistle tore through the night sky, causing many people's eyes to turn hot…
"Heh, a bunch of dogs who are like mud and tiles dare to be noisy?”
A cold snort suddenly sounded out. The expressions of Luo Yan, Guo Yong, and the rest changed!
The shadows of the trees swayed. Under the quiet moonlight, there were countless figures moving. It seemed that they had surrounded this place.
"Minister Guo, Commander Luo. How have you been?" Ye Lui Duan rode out from the darkness on his tall horse.
He looked down from above, and his arrogant expression made everyone very uncomfortable. They sneered and said,
"Your whereabouts have long been exposed, and you still want to escape? Dream on!"
"Kill them!"
Luo Yan's eyes widened in anger.
There was no need to waste words. Both sides were already mortal enemies!
In an instant, the forest was filled with wails and fell into a chaotic battle.
Although Luo Yan's side had the advantage in numbers, they had just experienced a huge defeat, and their morale had yet to recover. In addition, they still had to protect many commoners, so they actually fell into a disadvantage for a moment.
The commoners were also fleeing in all directions. They could tell that staying where they were…
He could only wait for death!
The Turks were also pursuing these defenseless civilians. In the midst of their panic, an old man seemed to have made a decision. He said resolutely,
"Zhu Zi, take your wife and Goudan and leave first!”
"Father, you…?" An ominous premonition rose in Zhu Zi's heart.
"Father, it's already like this. Don't be stubborn. Let's go!”The woman was still holding the child and grumbled.
"Grandfather…"
“欸!”
The old man replied with a loving expression. He looked at the chubby Goudan reluctantly, then looked at the pillar and said,
"With father's body, he won't be able to escape! However, Father…"
A sharp light flashed across his turbid old eyes as he said coldly," I can still buy you some time!”
As they spoke, a Turkic horseman rode over with a sinister smile, clamoring,
"Puny, die!"
"Hurry up and leave!"
The old man pushed Zhu Zi and the others away while he rolled on the ground, barely dodging the Turk's blade.
"Father!" Zhu Zi shouted.
But the old man quickly got up, his clothes disheveled and his eyes bloodshot. He howled as he began to fight the Turks.
He looked like a crazy demon!
"Turk dog! How could you trample on the land of the Han family?!”
"Come over and accept your death!"
A voice filled with vicissitudes of life reverberated in this world, causing many people's hearts to tremble.
"Han soil huh…"
Someone muttered as tears slowly flowed down his face.
This land had witnessed the pride of the Han family too many times!
"Ugh, I won't be able to live…"
"Give the younger generation some hope…"
"Hu Zi, you have to take good care of your mother!”
"Father is leaving."
Each and every word of exhortation was like a final farewell, making people unable to help but weep.
These white-haired old men also charged at the nearest Turks, even if…
Unarmed!
He was using his flesh and blood to carve out a bloody path!
This scene was too shocking. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would have been hard to imagine that these old people would do such a crazy thing!
But this…
Yet it was the backbone of the Han family!
