contend

Chapter 411
Deng Ai fled to the south in despair, and the sound of horseshoes and feathered arrows kept coming from his ears.

The continuous bumps made his wound ache.

Two hours ago, he swung his soldiers down from Xiaoguan with high fighting spirit, unexpectedly, he was faced with a rain of arrows overwhelming, with nowhere to hide and nowhere to settle.

If it weren't for the bright light armor on his body, he might be a corpse now, even so, there are still two crossbow arrows piercing through the breastplate.

After the rain of arrows, there was a crazy rout.

Rampaging like a frightened bison, Deng Ai was knocked down twice. If Deng Zhong hadn't fished him out, Deng Ai might have died directly under the feet of his own people.

A large blood-red footprint covered the left face like a seal.

It's embarrassing, but also kind of funny.

The defeat of a soldier is like a mountain, and the defeat on the battlefield is like a landslide.

The iron cavalry of the Liangzhou army is outstanding, like a thunderbolt, unstoppable, no matter how Deng Aiduo wants to take revenge, under this general trend, he can only be taken away by his subordinates.

"Um--"

Deng Ai let out a long breath of suffocation in his chest. Since he has been defeated, he should run away, return to Chang'an, return to Luoyang, there will always be a day when he makes a comeback.

He has this confidence.

Even if the Sima family didn't use him as a general, they would definitely use him as an official.

As long as you are alive, there is always a chance.

"A man can bend and stretch, it's just a momentary victory or defeat, back to Chang'an, there is still a chance."

The subordinates lacked interest, and the impact of the overwhelming rain of arrows and the thunderous cavalry seemed to be still roaring in their minds.

And they also knew that Nan'an was over, Longyou was over, and the tens of thousands of troops were also over.

It's hard to say whether Sima Zhao will reuse Deng Ai again.

If it was the era of Sima Yi and Sima Shi, they probably didn't have such doubts, but Sima Zhao seems to be closer to the gentry.

"Why, don't you guys trust XX?" Deng Ai was always determined not to admit defeat.

Deng Zhong had already stood up, pressing the handle of the knife with his hand.

"Don't dare, I'm willing to follow the governor, and revenge in the future." The subordinates could only bow their heads.

Deng Ai snorted coldly.

"The Liangzhou Army has cavalry, and if they haven't caught up for so long, they must be blocking them in front. It's not easy for our army to break through." As soon as the morale of the crowd recovered, Tian Xu poured cold water on them.

"What do you mean by this?" Deng Ai felt depressed and had nowhere to vent, so someone came to his door.

Isn't now a good opportunity to make an example to others?

However, Tian Xu's eyes also became gloomy, and he looked at Deng Ai without fear, "Returning to the governor, my subordinates feel that Yang Zheng will definitely lay a net in front of him, and our army will not be able to break through."

He dared to say that, of course he had the confidence. There were 800 Hebei Qu behind him, while Deng Ai had only [-] people around him.

Among the seven or eight hundred people, not all may be of one mind with him.

"How do you treat?" Deng Ai's eyes flashed coldly.

"The subordinates feel that they can't go south, but should break out in the northeast direction, stay away from Guanzhong first, enter the east of the river, avoid the net of the Liangzhou army, and give the brothers a way to survive."

"Going south can gather the remnants of the army. If a certain army has three thousand troops, where in the world can they go? So what if Yang Er has cavalry? If it weren't for you, who fear the enemy like a tiger, how could someone be defeated today?" Deng Aiyue He became more and more angry, and vented all the resentment and anger in his heart to Tian Xu.

Tian Xu's face darkened, even though he could bear this kind of bird-like air, he couldn't swallow the songs behind him.

The only bright spot in this battle is that Tian Xu and Duan Zhuo attacked the Liangzhou army camp together.

Even if there is no credit, there is hard work, but it is worthless in Deng Ai's mouth.

With a few "clang", several big men from Hebei couldn't hold back and drew their swords out.

People around Deng Ai also drew their swords.

Tian Xu is the only outlier under Deng Ai's command. He was transferred from Youzhou Youbeiping to Longyou, but he has been unable to integrate into Deng Ai's army.

Seeing that the scene was about to explode, horseshoes sounded from front to back, left and right.

"Father, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time. We will worry about what's going on today." Deng Zhong reminded in a low voice.

The flames in Deng Ai's eyes were suppressed, "Tian Xu, you are the striker."

A gloomy flame burst out from Tian Xu's eyes, "This subordinate obeys the order."

Shouts of killing came from all directions.

Liangzhou came riding all over the mountains and plains, and there were shouts of "capture and kill Deng Ai" everywhere.

In fact, no matter whether it is going north or south, this group of people can't escape.

After several bloody battles, there were fewer and fewer people around Deng Ai. Some people died in battle, some were separated, some escaped, and Duan Zhuo disappeared. Deng Zhong received several new injuries.

It was already dark, and the wind was howling.

It was as bright as day in all directions, and fire dragons circled in the dark night, getting tighter and tighter.

There were constant screams and begging for mercy. It was the other rout soldiers who were discovered by the cavalry.

"Did you find Deng Ai?" The Liangzhou Army's voice trembled with excitement.

"No."

"Zhiniang thief, has this guy gone to heaven or earth? Continue to search."

"Deng Ai and his son's thief is a great achievement of the fifth rank, and the general has other rewards, so I can't let the other brothers take it!"

"Do I need to say more?"

A cavalry team passed close to the col where they were hiding.

Deng Ai was already in dire straits, but he still did not give up his desire to survive, "Where is the front?"

"Shallow water plateau ahead."

"After Qianshuiyuan is Jingyang, the Taiwei will definitely send troops to meet us!" Deng Ai encouraged everyone to say, or to deceive.

But there are only more than a hundred people around, and everyone is injured and exhausted.

"The subordinates feel that the Taiwei will definitely not send troops to support the governor."

A cold voice sounded in the darkness.

Deng Ai raised his head suddenly, only to see Tian Xu's tall figure, behind him was a row of Youyan warriors, with swords in their hands, braving the cold.

"Tian Xu, what are you going to do?"

"I'm here to borrow something from the governor!" Tian Xu endured for so long that his voice changed his tone excitedly.

"What?"

"My father and son are headed!"

In the dark night, only the cold wind howled.

Deng Ai laughed repressedly, like a night owl, "You are so courageous, I knew you were a traitor!"

Tian Xu also laughed, "You're wrong, my Tian family was born under Wei En, and Sima and his son are the traitors! You, Deng Ai, who helped the emperor to abuse the king, will be despised by the world, and will be stigmatized forever after death!"

Tian Chou is one of the best celebrities in Hebei. He assisted Cao Cao in the northern attack on Wuhuan. He has always been treated with courtesy by Cao Cao, Cao Pi and his son.

Later, he was one of the four Congs together with Xia Houxuan.

Back then, he was transferred from Youbeiping to Longyou, which was exactly Sima Shi's plan to split them up.

Anyone who might be loyal to Cao Wei was suppressed.

Sima Shi never leaked anything, and Tian Xu also accepted his fate, but Deng Ai never let him go.

"I know, you want to be a thief!" Deng Aiqiang stood up with support.

Deng Zhong also holds a knife in front.

However, Deng Ai's subordinates retreated quietly and disappeared into the night.

"No, this is the righteousness of the world!" Tian Xu drew out his saber.

The cold wind swept by, and the knife was bright.

In the dark night, the sound of slashing and screaming continued, more than a hundred people surrounded Deng Ai and his son and more than a dozen guards, and chopped down...
