Chapter 1008 Revenge, revenge!

In a tragic battle outside Boxing City, the King of Han Army lost nearly 2 troops, and the Bailian Army suffered nearly [-] casualties. The price paid was much higher than that of the opponent.

But the White Lotus Sect has no other advantages, that is, it has a large number of people, and after receiving reinforcements from Liu Jun, its strength is still as high as [-]. The cavalry started chasing and intercepting.In the following three days, the King of Han led his troops to break through the defense line of the White Lotus Army several times. However, under Mo Wen's ingenious command, there were always countless troops blocking the way of the King of Han, forcing him to rush left and right, but he couldn't escape the White Lotus Army. In the siege.

What's more frightening is that the reduction of the number of soldiers on the King of Han's side was extremely serious, and a small number of soldiers died in the breakout. More cavalry died because their horses lost their strength and could not continue to follow the King of Han to fight.And in this extremely difficult situation, it is impossible for the King of Han to take into account these soldiers who lost their horses, and can only let them fall behind and fend for themselves...

On the first day, hundreds of cavalry disappeared from the King of Han's ranks. On the second day, thousands of cavalry were lost. On the third day, there were less than 500 cavalry around the King of Han!Moreover, all of them were wounded, suffering from hunger and cold, even the defeated generals were not enough to describe the miserable situation of the King of Han's subordinates at this moment.

But at this time, the pursuers of the White Lotus Army suddenly disappeared, and His Highness King Han and his remnants had a chance to breathe...

"Your Highness..." Hou Tai was haggard, and followed the King of Han precariously, pointing weakly, and said: "There is a mountain village ahead, let's find something to eat and rest there, even if the soldiers can hold on, War horses also need to rest..."

In just a few days, His Highness the King of Han was already thin and out of shape, with high cheekbones, sunken corners of his mouth, and a pair of eyes deeply sunken in their sockets.His beard and hair were in loose locks, sticking to his head and under his jaw with mud.To make matters worse, the left leg that was shot was already inflamed, and the entire thigh was swollen to a high degree. The pus stuck the underwear tightly to the wound, which could no longer be peeled off...

Looking around at the horses foaming at the mouth and the soldiers dying from exhaustion, the King of Han finally nodded.

"Enter the village!" Zhu Heng hurriedly gave the order, and the soldiers, as if they had received an amnesty, tried their best to mobilize their horses and drove into the small village in the valley...

After entering the village, I found that the village was ruined, there was no sound, and there was no one. It turned out that it had been abandoned for a long time.

"Keep the sentry post, the scouts will take turns to patrol, and the rest will find a place to rest." Although there were only five hundred soldiers, Zhu Heng still gave orders meticulously.

Hou Tai found a relatively intact courtyard and invited the King of Han to rest in it.

The king of Han rode his horse into the courtyard.When he was about to turn over and get off the horse, he was horrified to find that his entire left leg didn't work, and he didn't get off the horse all at once.

"My lord, be careful of the wound." Hou Tai hurried forward to help, but was pushed away by the King of Han.

Zhu Gaoxu gritted his teeth, flicked his right leg, and jumped off the horse.It's just that when he landed, his left foot still didn't exert any strength, and his body shook twice involuntarily.

Hou Tai stepped forward again and held King Han's arm. This time King Han didn't push him away, letting Hou Tai support him, and slowly entered the house.

Inside the house, guards had hastily cleaned it, but it was still dilapidated. The walls were mottled and peeled off, revealing earthy-yellow mud. The kang is gone.

"The straw is newly found, and it's comfortable." Hou Tai said, and King Fu Han sat down on the kang slowly.

The King of Han sat down very slowly, like an old man on the verge of death. This was something Hou Tai had never seen before after serving the King of Han for most of his life.

"My lord, let the imperial physician take another look at your injury." Hou Tai couldn't help but advise.

"Look at it, he wants to destroy my leg. I will be fine if I don't kill him!" Han Wang said with a dark face: "This king has profound skills, and a small injury will be fine!"

Seeing King Han's expression of wanting to eat people, Hou Tai had no choice but to shut up and back out to find something to eat for King Han.

.

Coming out of King Han's courtyard, Hou Tai saw the eunuch who was in charge of King Han's meals, beckoned him over and said, "Hurry up and find something to make up for the prince!"

The eunuch suddenly said with a sad face: "I don't know how long this ghost village has been deserted. The little ones searched the bottom of the sky and found a little bit of this." Then, he took out a bag from the pocket tied around his waist. Send the moldy bran to Hou Tai.

Smelling the strong musty smell, Hou Tai twisted his nose and said, "Nonsense, is this for people to eat? How dare you give it to the prince?!"

"But we have nothing else to eat, what else can I get if I don't take this?!" At the end of the day, the eunuch's tone to his boss was not very polite.

"Kill the horse." Hou Tai sighed.

"Kill the horse?" The eunuch's expression changed. The reason why they have not been caught by the Bailian army is because of the horses under their crotch. There are no extra horses at the moment, and it is not uncommon for the two of them to ride together. yes.The eunuch said with a bitter face: "At this juncture, killing someone's horse is tantamount to taking someone's life. It's no wonder that person doesn't work hard with me!"

"I can't care about that much anymore! Kill! If you don't kill others, I will kill you!" Hou Tai was so irritable that he couldn't be in the mood to talk nonsense with him. He flicked his sleeves and said, "Hurry up!"

"Hey..." The eunuch had no choice but to bite the bullet and go down.

.

No matter how many troubles there were, Hou Tai came up with steaming broth after an hour.

However, the king of Han didn't have much appetite, he leaned on the kang head wearily, and murmured to Zhu Heng who was opposite him: "Is there any news about the people sent to Qingzhou? Have Liu Sheng's reinforcements been sent?"

Zhu Heng shook his head slowly, and said in a low voice: "There is no news, I'm afraid Liu Sheng is hopeless."

"If this king dies, he won't be able to live!" The King of Han punched the table heavily, and the bowl of horse meat soup that was stewed with great difficulty was knocked to the ground, and Hou Tai twitched in distress.

"If Liu Sheng knew the situation of the prince, he would definitely come to the rescue regardless of everything, even if he still doesn't know anything." Zhu Heng sighed. No one in the world would have expected that His Royal Highness King of Han, who is so powerful in the world, commanded ten thousand cavalry, Can a [-]-strong army be cornered in a single battle by the mob's White Lotus Army? "The general suspects that Jin Yiwei has blocked all news."

"Wang Xian..." The King of Han gritted his teeth and said these two words. These two words had never made him feel so desperate like today.

"My lord, although the White Lotus Army has temporarily disappeared, the general is becoming more and more anxious. I'm afraid it's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Let's move earlier." Zhu Heng frowned and said, "It's only safe to go to Qingzhou."

"How far is it from Qingzhou?" King Han asked expressionlessly.

"It's only a hundred miles." Zhu Heng replied softly.

"One hundred miles..." The king of Han looked away, looked at the spider web on the beam and said, "If it is normal, we will arrive in half a day."

"Hey, this moment and that moment..." Zhu Heng sighed. With the current state, it would be good to arrive in two days, and there must be no obstacles.

After hearing the prince and Zhu Heng finish their business, Hou Tai hurried out, brought in another bowl of broth, and said to the King of Han with a bitter face, "My lord, this time you have to eat whatever you say..."

Before he finished speaking, the curtain behind him was lifted suddenly, and a guard stumbled in and bumped into Hou Tai's back without paying attention. The soup bowl was thrown out of his hand, and the meat and soup inside spilled on the ground again...

Just as Hou Tai was about to have a seizure, the guard jumped ahead, lying on the ground and raising his head, he shouted, "My lord, it's not good! We're surrounded!"

"What?!" Zhu Heng stood up at once, and Zhu Gaoxu was also taken aback. He wanted to stand up, but he didn't have any strength at all.

"How many White Lotus Army are there?" Zhu Heng hurriedly asked.

"There are about three or four thousand people surrounding the village..." the guard said hastily.

Hearing that there were not many people, Zhu Heng heaved a sigh of relief, but the guard continued: "They are all dressed in black, under the banner of revenge, they don't look like members of the White Lotus Sect..."

"Who cares about him, quickly help the prince to mount the horse, and finally protect the prince and kill him!" Zhu Heng gritted his teeth, cupped his hands at the King of Han, and rushed out.

.

After a while, all the [-] or so riders who had been startled got on their horses and were ready to set off. The King of Han also got on his horse with the support of Hou Tai and others. Zhu Heng rode over and said loudly: "The last general will open the way ahead. Even if I die, I will keep the prince safe!"

The king of Han had a pale face, neither spoke nor nodded, but looked gloomyly at the large flags waving at the entrance of the village. The flagpoles were three feet high, and the flags were made of white cloth about ten feet square. The big blood-red characters 'Revenge for General Zhou Yong', 'Revenge for General Hu Sandao', 'Revenge for General Shi Wan' can be seen clearly from a long distance away!
The King of Han looked back again, and sure enough, he saw that the small mountain village was surrounded by hundreds of flags of the same size, with the same shocking blood-red characters on them, but with different names.

'Revenge for General Zhou Gan! '

'Revenge for General Gao Niu'er! '

'Revenge for General Deng Xiaoren! '

'Revenge for General Black Donkey! '

'Avenge Brother Zhang Cheng! '

'Avenge Brother Luo Fei! '

'Revenge for Brother Zhao Xin! '

Looking at the two or three hundred banners surrounding him, how could the King of Han not know that he was already surrounded by Wang Xian's men?He was dizzy at first, but then he sneered disdainfully: "The villain is proud!"

Zhu Heng waited for a while, but when King Han said this, he was taken aback for a moment before realizing that he was not scolding himself. Seeing that King Han was already in a trance, he had no choice but to turn around and shouted: "Brothers, follow me!" He rushed out immediately.

Immediately, more than [-] riders rushed out following Zhu Heng, and the remaining [-] riders followed the King of Han closely, protecting the King of Han and following behind.

Just rushing from the center of the village to the entrance of the village, more than a mile away, among the cavalry following Zhu Heng in front, more than a dozen of them stumbled and were thrown to the ground by the horses that fell to the ground, their tendons and bones broken.
