Late Tang

(The fifth update arrives, [-] words are here! Ask for votes!)

As night fell again, Li Jinquan led five hundred fine cavalry to form the front army to take the lead for the breakout troops.

His task is to go out head-on at all costs, break through a hole, and fight a way out for the army.This is a life-and-death mission, and five hundred riders rush straight into the siege of at least 3 Hu riders for the army!Before getting on his horse, Li Jinquan turned his head and glanced at Li Siyuan who was standing on the watchtower in the cottage.That was his master, Li Jinquan was just a servant of Li Siyuan's family, a servant for generations.He used to follow Li Siyuan's father as a pawn, and now, as a servant, he serves as the first battalion envoy of Hengchong Capital, which Li Siyuan trusted most.Now, everyone is besieged here, and there is no way out, but to break through.

He took the initiative to ask Ying to be the forward of the army, willing to be a dead soldier.

On the high archery tower, Li Siyuan's figure looked lonely and proud, and the night shrouded him, making it difficult to see his expression at this time.

Li Jinquan bowed to that figure and saluted, then turned to look at Paoze behind him, they were like an isolated rock in the stormy sea.These people knew that attacking meant death, but they still stood up proudly and stood there.

In Yanmen, Shuozhou, and Yunzhou, countless people betrayed Li Siyuan, but they always followed the young commander.

Five hundred riders looked so lonely and frail in this night, but everyone looked determined.

Li Jinquan wiped the liquid on his face, whether it was tears or sweat, spat hard on the ground, flew on the horse, raised the cold saw in his hand and roared: "Shatuo is not dead!"

"Sha Tuo is not dead!"

"Sha Tuo is not dead!"

Roars rang out, resounding through the night sky.

This was their will, his determination, they did not think that following Li Siyuan was a betrayal of Shatuo.On the contrary, they believe that the current Shatuo should be led by Li Siyuan.This roar is their unyielding cry that has been fighting and has never been conquered.

Shatuo is immortal, this is their pride, from the Western Regions to the East, fighting north and south, blood spilled on the battlefield, Shatuo will never be defeated, they are the undefeated Shatuo, the immortal Shatuo!

Five hundred cavalrymen lined up in a forward arrow formation, with the courage to go forward and the morale of seeing death as home, they rushed towards the gap in the wall that had been selected.

Since it is in the dark night, people can feel the shock and determination of galloping horses only by the faint torches and scattered starlight.

The Hu people who had besieged the Shatuo people outside for two days and two nights immediately discovered this army that wanted to break out, but they seemed a little slow to react.

In that direction, Li Jinquan and the others were all wearing double armor, rushing forward like a landslide and tsunami. On the way forward, some of his subordinates kept falling off their horses. They fell off the horse due to the piled up Hu people's corpses, and they hardly received much attack, because the Hu people never thought that at this time, the Shatuo soldiers who were surrounded like iron barrels would dare to attack the soldiers several times their size on the spot. Encirclement.

A glimmer of hope was ignited in the battalion of the dead soldiers in Hengchong, and groups of cavalry followed Li Jinquan and rushed towards the gap that was constantly collapsing.

The barbarians finally woke up and became angry.

A mere few hundred Shatuo cavalry dared to charge directly into the encirclement formation of 3 people. Did they take themselves too seriously, or did they not take them too seriously!

The Shatuo cavalry who rushed behind continued to fall off their horses and died in battle. Some people were even shot into a hornet's nest by the intensive looking up, but no one flinched.Indeed, for Yokobe, even if it was just a word from Li Siyuan, it was worth fighting to the death.But at this moment, everything is no longer important, nothing is important, because they only know that Pao Ze and he are fighting, and the young commander is watching them from behind!

Everyone shouted 'Sha Tuo is not dead! ' Then he rushed forward without hesitation, went to die, and regarded death as home.What they defend is the glory and pride of being the flag of Yokobe!

In the cottage, the cavalry commander Mi Dewei got on his horse with the help of Li Siyuan himself. Just the act of getting on the horse already made him gasp in pain, but there was still a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, don't feel sorry for us. Sha Tuo is not dead. After 16 years, there will be a group of good men from Sha Tuo again."

"Shatuo is not dead!" Behind Midway, a crowd of Shatuo soldiers responded loudly.

"Anyway, we are all seriously injured. Even if we don't die here, we will be disabled if we live. Why don't we do one last thing for the young commander, let us distract the attention of these Hu Bing for the young commander, so as to fight for the young commander to break through Opportunity!" Midway's eyes were determined.

Li Siyuan held on to the reins of Midway's horse with his right hand, and refused to let go for a long time.His eyes were bloodshot, and he said in a low voice: "Let's go together, fight to the death with them, Sha Tuo never escapes alone, abandoning his companions!"

"It's not worth it, there's no need for it. There are [-] barbarians outside now. If we continue to delay, it will only attract more barbarians. It's also a burden to bring us along. What's more, with us like this, it's better to die in battle quickly." The battlefield. Young commander, you must live on, lead the rest of the brothers to live on, and then prove that Li Keyong is wrong, and Shatuo’s future needs your guidance!" He grabbed the reins tightly, squeezed the horse's belly with both legs, and shouted, "Shatuo is not dead!"

"Sha Tuo is not dead!"

After several days of life and death, all the slightly heavier wounded are here. There are more than two thousand people, all of whom are already riding on horses. Some have broken hands, some have broken legs, and some are even blind and deaf. In short, they all struggled to get on their horses, and then shouted and roared passionately. With the last ounce of will, they galloped and galloped along the passage opened by Li Jinquan and his five hundred dead men.

Seeing the horses go away like the wind, Li Siyuan couldn't help crying. He turned his head and stared at Qin Jun's liaison officer Yang Lin, "Brother Sanqian Paoze, because you said it all, you owe me three thousand lives." Yes. If the remaining brothers cannot break through, I will be the first to behead your head to sacrifice to them, and then kill myself!"

Yang Lin's face turned pale, but it wasn't because of Li Siyuan's rebuttal, but because of the continuous non-stop fighting after being injured, he was extremely exhausted.He smiled miserably, "Let's talk about it when you are ready to rush out. If you can't go out, you don't need to kill someone. Someone has already died in the chaos. Time is precious, order to break through!"

"Get on the horse!"

Li Siyuan roared, resolute yet desolate.

The remaining [-] Shatuo cavalry mounted their horses one after another. In order to break out tonight, each of them had a full meal of the enemy's flesh and blood, the real enemy's flesh and blood.After eating the human flesh of the enemy soldiers for several days, their eyes were bloodshot, and they couldn't tell whether it was the effect of human flesh or the result of anger or exhaustion.

Surrounded by 3 enemy soldiers, this is only in the past two days, and more and more enemy soldiers will come later.Therefore, the only way to break through is as early as possible, the sooner the better.But it is easy to break out from the siege of [-] people.In the end, Yang Lin came up with a plan to select [-] elite soldiers to break through the siege first, kill them by surprise, and then send all the wounded soldiers out to pretend to be the whole army to break through the siege to attract the attention of the enemy soldiers.When the enemy army went to besiege and intercept these two soldiers and horses, the remaining people would choose the opposite direction to break through.

The reason for sending an elite team to lead the battle is that if only the wounded soldiers are allowed to break through, the wounded soldiers will not have good combat effectiveness and will easily reveal their flaws.

But if the whole army breaks through, or even breaks through separately, either all of them will be intercepted, or most of them may be intercepted.Instead of this, it is better for the soldiers to cut off their wrists and release the wounded soldiers who have little hope of escape as bait to cover the rest of the hopefuls to break through.

As soon as this proposal was made, Yang Lin was immediately beaten up by Li Biao and Kang Yanzhang. If Li Siyuan hadn't stopped him, his old life would have been gone long ago.

Li Siyuan rejected this proposal, because although he also agreed in his heart that this might be the only plan to break through.But he couldn't do that, he couldn't use two thousand wounded brothers as bait, he couldn't do it.Everyone here is his brother.They followed him from Yanmen to Shuozhou, followed him from Shuozhou to Yunzhou, and then followed him faithfully from Baishuiluo to here. They fought side by side, brothers in the same robe.

But in the end Yang Lin went directly to a few injured generals to speak out about his plan, and finally these generals and the wounded soldiers made a decision, they volunteered to serve as bait for the army to break out of the siege, and won the less than [-] in [-] chance of escape.Li Siyuan refused, they insisted, and finally, Li Siyuan agreed with tears.

Mercy does not command soldiers, he cannot ignore the chance of survival of the remaining 2000 people for the sake of those 5000 people.

The wind is blowing, the horse is roaring!

The night is dark and the stars are thinning!

Under the dark night, the dark flag of Shatuo was flying, and the young Lord Shatuo led his followers, leaping horses and spears, and the tigers came out of their cages!

Five thousand Shatuo cavalry, led by Li Siyuan, rushed down the stronghold suddenly, and then headed towards the other direction where the wounded soldiers broke through, and rushed south without hesitation.

To the southeast of the stockade, there are only a few soldiers and horses left here at this time, and the rest of the soldiers and horses rushed to the northeast to intercept the Shatuo people who were besieging and breaking through.They all knew that Li Siyuan, the leader of the Shatuo rebel army, was besieged here. When Li Keyong invited them to go south, he made it clear that whoever could get Li Siyuan's head and hand it over to him would get a reward of [-] Han slaves. .However, the reward offered by the tribal leaders became three hundred sheep for whoever gets Li Siyuan's head.

Although the reward has changed from [-] Han Chinese slaves to [-] sheep, it still makes these Hu people feel uneasy.The elite warriors of all tribes have rushed to hunt, and those who stay here are old and weak.

A few barbarians were cursing and sighing that they had missed the huge reward of [-] sheep. At this moment, a sudden sound of iron hoofs that was as fast as a storm came to their ears clearly.The complexions of the few people couldn't help changing suddenly, and when they looked up, they saw a black battle flag leading a black ocean rushing towards under the starlight!
