Gongsun Zan looked around, his heart filled with eagerness. Feather arrows kept coming. Many soldiers from the brave camp were already tumbling and falling to the ground, unable to get up again. The mountain passes that could be escaped were already burning with fire.
, the Kushan soldiers also blocked the exit. Gongsun Zan had no time to think about the battle situation, and he had no way to hesitate. The surrounding Kushan soldiers had already charged towards them!!
Gongsun Zan had his main flag raised and fled towards the north, the heartland of Huazizimo. The rest of the area was blocked. At present, the only way to escape to this unknown hinterland might be to gain a chance of survival. He knew
, in the northwest of Huazizimo, you can reach the Kangju area. As long as you can lead the brave battalion to escape to Kangju, you will be safe.
Seeing the general flag raised by Gongsun Zan, the rest of the soldiers from the brave camp quickly started to follow. Gongsun Zan took the lead and galloped. The soldiers followed behind him, rolling up countless flying soil along the way, and the surroundings were full of Kushan people.
, they rushed out from the front on horseback, shooting with strong bows in their hands. Gongsun Zan changed direction and turned to the other side. Behind him, on the left and on the right, were full of enemy pursuers!
The Kushan people shouted, bent their bows and arrows, and some directly threw short spears, while an army bit them and howled. Gongsun Zan did not know which Kushan army this was.
, however, they were not wearing armor, they were only holding short spears, their hair had been cut off, and chains could be clearly seen around their necks, and their faces were ferocious. In a short period of time, the brave battalion failed to get rid of them.
When the Lord of Kushan saw Gongsun Zan escaping to the hinterland, he couldn't help but laugh out loud and ordered the cavalry to pursue him, while the rest of the soldiers continued to guard here just in case. On the plain area of Huacizimo, Gongsun Zan led
The soldiers of the Heroic Battalion flew away, with the cavalry in the rear chasing after them. As they were escaping, another army came out in front of them, no different from the Kushan soldiers in the rear!
Gongsun Zan reined in his horse crazily and rushed towards the left. When approaching the enemy on the north, he changed direction again and escaped from the gap between the enemy in front and the enemy on the left. Not everyone in the Xiaoyong camp was there.
After escaping like this, many people died in the enemy attacks from many directions, but Gongsun Zan did not dare to be distracted, he could not look back.
On the way to the north, there are many enemy camps. This is where the main force of the enemy is. It seems that the enemy wants to attack from the north. Fortunately, Mr. Dong also heard what was going on here just now, so he should know it.
There is a threat here. Gongsun Zan's original plan of escaping from the north and reaching Kangju cannot be easily realized. He has to go around the southern area near the sea!
Gongsun Zan galloped away, and the troops who pursued them gradually fell behind. At this time, these horses, which were personally selected by Gongsun Zan, showed a speed far exceeding that of the enemy. After gradually escaping from the enemy, Gongsun Zan could only lead his soldiers along the way.
The Kushan people continued to advance towards the sea, and the Kushan people were not angry. In Huacizimo, the entire main force of the Kushan army was stationed, like iron barrels. It was impossible for this small group of soldiers to escape.
The King of Kushan mobilized the surrounding soldiers to surround them from a general direction. It would be fine if they were in other areas. Huacizmo was an area that the Xiaoyong Battalion had never been to. They did not know the terrain here at all. In order to prevent the horses from losing their strength, Gongsun Zan
Going north along the river, however, he knew that the risk was very high. Along the way, they were seen by many locals, and they could not hide themselves.
The soldiers of the brave battalion quickly dismounted and led the horses to the river. They allowed the horses to drink. They escaped from the saddles and quickly stuffed the pasta into their stomachs. Then they lay directly on the river, drank the water with the animals, and then received the water.
They bought a lot of water as their own reserves. When Gongsun Zan gave the order again, they were already on horseback, and the brave camp galloped away again.
In this way, after two days of traveling north along the river, he never encountered a large group of pursuers. Before Gongsun Zan had time to relax, while drinking his horse, he suddenly discovered a bag of water floating from the upper stream.
The bag seemed to be made of cowhide, with some patterns on it. This was not the first time Gongsun Zan fought with the Kushans, so he naturally recognized that it belonged to the Kushans. After being keenly aware of the enemy in the north, they reluctantly abandoned it.
the river.
They changed direction and headed east.
The northern army originally heard the news about the Han army, deployed there, and kept advancing, trying to surround the Han army on the river bank so that they had no way to retreat. However, they advanced for three or four days without encountering the Han army.
But he met his comrades who were chasing the Han army together, which made the commander of the Kushan army furious!
A group of scouts, who were originally ignored by the Kushan generals and did not even send all their troops to hunt them down, fled in the territory of Huazhan for six days. The Kushan king was furious. On the other hand, the Han army was going all out.
They dug the mountain pass, cleared the rocks, and even wanted to create a thoroughfare for the army to pass through. Kushan's infantry firmly guarded the mountain pass to guard against Dong Zhuo's army.
In a dense forest, Gongsun Zan was lying on his back in the bushes, looking into the distance. These six days of fleeing had made him look miserable and covered in dirt. Even his white horse had turned gray and black.
Yes, this is not bad, but it is more conducive to the hiding of the brave camp. These days, they have left the river and have no way to continue drinking horses. They do not know the surrounding terrain, so they can only search in the dense forest.
There was no food, grass, and most importantly, no drinking water. However, Gongsun Zan came up with a solution. Along the way, he led his troops to sack nearly ten villages, plundering drinking water, food, etc. No matter how unbearable the heroic camp was, they fought against Guishang
The youth and strength are more than enough. This has brought a lot of trouble to the Kushan army. Reports from various places are urgent. The Kushan army is the soldiers sent by their respective villages. When they learn that their homes have been looted, the soldiers
Where can we sit down?
Today, Gongsun Zan doesn’t know where he has gone. After escaping all the way, there are fewer and fewer brothers. Today, there are nearly two thousand brave soldiers in the brave camp, but there are less than a thousand people following him. The brave camp has been established since
Until now, he had never paid such a heavy price. Gongsun Zan's heart was as painful as a knife. Looking at the silent soldiers behind him, Gongsun Zan could only hide his grief in his heart.
Passing through the mountains, one could vaguely see the burning bonfire in the distance. Gongsun Zan asked in a low voice: "Is that a village or a military camp?"
Logically speaking, villages do not light bonfires at night, only military camps do. However, if this is a military camp, then there are not enough bonfires. There are only two bonfires. Aren't you afraid that we will attack? Or is this a trap, waiting for you?
Are we being arrested?
Gongsun Zan thought in his mind and ordered the soldiers to wait here for orders. He quietly stepped forward to check the situation. Gongsun Zan quietly approached here. There were indeed soldiers guarding here, but there were not many soldiers. Moreover, it was surrounded by plains on three sides, making it easy to escape.
, except for hiding in the dense forest, there is no other place to hide soldiers. Here, since there are many chariots and horses, some oxcarts, and many soldiers' camps.
Gongsun Zan was shocked, he seemed to know where this place was.
The soldiers gradually gathered around Gongsun Zan. Gongsun Zan pointed to the distance and said: "Brothers... this is a Kushan people's post station. Looking at the surrounding situation, this is the only way to go from the north to the south.
I took a look at the inn, and there were a lot of cattle and horses inside. It should be that the army transporting food and the like rested here..."
"You follow me in the raid, we will kill their cattle and horses, and then burn their baggage!"
"Here you go!"
When Gongsun Zan led his soldiers and rushed into the enemy's camp, the enemy had not had time to wake up from their sleep. They were panicked and did not expect that there were still people in this army who dared to attack them. Gongsun Zan took advantage of the two campfires.
, directly set fire to the surrounding camps. The cattle and horses were frightened and fled in all directions. Gongsun Zan also burned all the baggage on those vehicles!!
When the enemy shouted and rushed out of the military camp, Gongsun Zan shot and killed three people in succession. The Xiaoyong Battalion charged in the camp for a while before hurriedly escaping. Faced with such fire, the Kushan soldiers could only
After escaping, not many people even went after Gongsun Zan. They never thought that there would be enemies here!!
"Asshole!! How can there be enemies in Yangjia?!"
"The day before yesterday, you said that the Han army was trapped in Huling by you. Why did they go to Yangjia today? Can they fly?! You also burned the grain and grass they transported. You tricked them into Huarizimo.
Or they deceived you and deliberately attacked Huazizimo to destroy my army from now on! I have ordered that within three days, I must completely destroy this Han army. If I can't do it, I will completely destroy you!
!!”
The generals of the Kushan Dynasty roared.
Suddenly, Gongsun Zan's situation became more difficult. In order to restrain them, the Kushan generals directly moved the people in the surrounding areas from the villages and brought them to the city, leaving no food supplies for Gongsun Zan. In addition, they
They also polluted the water sources in many surrounding places and cut off Gongsun Zan's drinking water. In order to anger the Xiaoyong Camp, they hung the bodies of captured and killed Xiaoyong Camp soldiers at the entrances of those villages.
The Kushan people stripped off their clothes and let birds peck at their corpses.
When Gongsun Zan led the soldiers to the village gate, he could see the corpses hanging on the village gate. The corpses of these brave soldiers had long become unrecognizable. Only their helmets could identify their identities.
, however, Gongsun Zan recognized these two people at a glance. Even though they were badly damaged, Gongsun Zan could still recognize them.
Everyone dismounted, took their corpses from the hanging place, found an inconspicuous area nearby, and buried them secretly.
That was all Gongsun Zan could do. Watching the soldiers burying their dead friends, and following the custom of the Donghao people, when he wanted to scatter stones around their corpses, he shook his head helplessly. He couldn't do this.
If the enemy found out, they would definitely destroy their tombs. Gongsun Zan was riding on a horse, looking around, with cracked lips and a pale face.
He licked his lips and looked around, but he didn't know where to find water.
They did not stay for too long. After a brief search of the village, they left. In the village, they found a few fruits. Although they were somewhat rotten, they could still eat them. Everyone took a bite, but it was not enough for these few fruits.
Hundreds of people were eaten. This was already the 23rd day of their escape. During this period, Gongsun Zan burned six more inns, forcing Guishang to send out troops to protect these inns.
Gongsun Zan did not know that four generals had been beheaded by King Kushan because of him.
Faintly hearing the sound of horse hooves in the distance, Gongsun Zan quickly led his soldiers to leave here quickly and fled to the dense forest. Not long after they left, the Kushan army came here. Seeing the sky above the village empty, they felt in their hearts
It was certain that Han army scouts had been here. Looking at the horse hoof marks on the ground, they deduced the direction in which Gongsun Zan was fleeing and hurriedly pursued him.
This time they were chasing Gongsun Zan with all their lives, fearing that their heads would be chopped off by the king. At the mountain pass, Dong Zhuo had led his army to kill him. However, because a large number of soldiers were chasing the scout, the food and grass transportation was suddenly blocked.
Cut off, the Kushan people were unable to defeat Dong Zhuo's army despite occupying favorable terrain. Dong Zhuo's army had already moved in and was stationed outside the mountain pass, and the King of Kushan once again ordered that this scout must be killed!!
!
When they escaped outside a dense forest, they were faced with a red color. The brave camp was a little surprised. They stopped and looked forward. In front of them, there were flames burning, and the flames illuminated the entire sky red.
The same was true in several surrounding directions, and the entire forest was on fire!!
When they were about to return, the same was true behind them. There were flames burning in the distance, slowly coming towards them. The fire continued to expand, and they were actually surrounded by the flames.
In order to catch them, the enemy set fire to the forest?
Gongsun Zan wanted to laugh.
In this mountain forest, I don’t know how many Guishang stations and villages are now buried with Xiaoyong Camp!
The soldiers of Xiaoyong Camp looked around blankly, helpless, with fear on their faces. Gongsun Zan turned over and dismounted, leaning against a tree with his back weakly. He shouted hoarsely: "Xiaoyong Camp, keep you private."
Bring out the hidden fish for me! Today, we will have a good meal!!"
Xiaoyongying did not reply. Several people walked to their horses, took out the bags from the saddles, and poured them out. They found a few fish and shrimps with a stinking smell. Gongsun Zan grinned and said: "There happens to be a fire, so they can be roasted."
Eat without any effort!"
Everyone lit a bonfire, grilled the fish here, and ate the fish seriously. Gongsun Zan leaned against the trees, looked at them, laughed loudly, and took a fish at will, biting it with big mouthfuls, feeling the taste.
It was so delicious that I couldn't help but lick my lips and said with emotion: "What a pity, I can never eat this delicious food again!"
The Kushan army slowly surrounded them. Looking at the raging flames, they were still trying to expand the fire, such as throwing wine, dead wood, cotton clothes, etc. towards the dense forest... or fanning the wind to make the fire continue to expand.
, they cut off the surrounding trees and grass in advance and sprinkled water on them, for fear that the fire would spread to them.
Feeling the astonishing heat, outside the flames, black catkins were flying continuously, and the Kushan soldiers couldn't help but squint their eyes. They didn't dare to get too close. If they got too close, their eyelashes seemed to be burned, and the steam was steaming.
Everything seemed to become blurry, and the Kushan generals smiled and said: "Under such circumstances, these people must be dead or alive..."
“I don’t see how these thieves can keep running!!”
"All our army's plans were ruined by this mere scout! It's really hateful!"
"After killing them, we can get a lot of rewards! The king said that whoever destroys them all will be rewarded with 800 cows!"
As the flames approached, all the sweat on Gongsun Zan's body had disappeared. Touching his face, he could feel the blazing heat. Gongsun Zan stood up unsteadily, pulled out a long knife from his waist, and looked at
The surrounding soldiers, the soldiers of Xiaoyong Battalion, actually started to cry. They were choking and eating the fish in their hands, crying loudly.
"Why are you crying! A man died for his country! He died well!!!" Gongsun Zan shouted. Just as he was about to scold the soldiers, he was hit hard by Sitamu from behind with the blade of his sword, hitting the back of his neck. He shook his head.
He fell to the ground. Many soldiers were holding Sitamu, not knowing what he was going to do. Sitamu took off his clothes and wrapped them around Gongsun Zan. He took out a water bag and sprinkled water on Gongsun Zan.
.
The other soldiers seemed to understand something and searched for the water hose one after another, pouring all the hot water on Gongsun Zan. Sitamu looked at the other side, grabbed his brother's hand, and said, "Don't fall on this."
Some of it flows from the general's body and sprinkled on the horses and yourself. After a while, you will take General Gongsun and attack from the north and south... If you can escape, put on Kushan clothes and wait.
The Han army has arrived..."
As he spoke, Si Tali shook his head and said, "Brother, you should take the general away, I..."
"Shut up! Protect the captain and don't let him be captured by the enemy. It's best to tie him up and escape. If he is caught, kill the captain and don't fall into the hands of the enemy...
"
Sitali looked at his brother blankly.
.........
Outside the fire, the Kushan soldiers were chatting casually, and the generals were sitting on chairs, chatting and laughing.
"Huh? No, where did the sound of war drums come from??"
The general asked quickly, and the others listened carefully, stood up quickly, looked around, and shouted: "Go to martial law quickly, don't let the Han army come to support you!!"
The previously leisurely soldiers were also frightened and quickly began to enforce martial law down the mountain.
"ah!!!!!"
There was a roar coming from the flames, and the Kushan soldiers quickly looked towards the burning flames. From the flames, a monster flew out. The monster was riding a burning horse, and the horse's whole body was burning.
Flames, and on the back of the horse, the monster was howling miserably, its whole body burning with flames, half of its face was burned to a bloody pulp, and it could not make a human sound!!!
Monsters covered in flames were attacking the Kushan army. Behind him were countless flame monsters. Some of these monsters fell to the ground with men and horses, and were swallowed up by the flames. They stretched out their hands and let out the most startling sounds.
screamed in fear, and the rest rushed directly into the Kushan soldiers. At that moment, the Kushan people collapsed, shouting monsters in their mouths, and fled towards the rear.
Only a few generals could understand it.
These were the scouts of the Han army. They just rushed out of the flames. From horses to people, their whole bodies were burning with flames. Even their bodies were partially burned by the flames, but they were still there.
They rushed out with wailing sounds and launched an attack on the Kushan people. The Kushan soldiers hugged by them had their whole bodies burning with flames, crying and struggling to free themselves!
And their charge quickly caused the dense forest here to burst into flames.
Seeing this shocking scene, General Guishan was trembling all over. Even in front of the blazing flames, he felt so cold that his whole body seemed to be frozen!
At that moment, the Pyro Man rushed towards him. Howling miserably, the Pyro Man rushed out from his horse and threw himself on the general. The blazing flames burned directly on his body. The general was miserable.
Howling, he fell off the horse!
The Kushan soldiers quickly retreated, and the besieging troops from other directions also rushed to rescue them.
When all the Kushan people rushed to this location, the place had long been turned into a sea of fire, and there was no trace of anyone.
