Chapter 800 Loyalty
The person who killed Han Rang was none other than Jinhu Ma Chao.
It turned out that after killing someone from Zhou, Han Rang and others rushed northward and met Ma Chao and others coming down from the north.
At first, Han Rang and the others didn't care, because they wore yellow scarves on their heads, just like the Taishan Army's own attire, so Han Rang himself opened his hands and shouted at the sudden cavalry coming down from the north:
"A certain person is Ru Nan Han Rang Han Jingzhong! I have met the eldest lady's friend!"
Han Rang was born as a warrior, and his stature and appearance were first-rate. At this moment, he was sitting on the horse with his arms spread out, and he really looked like the essence of a noble family.
Ma Chaoshan heard it, and he looked at the group of people in confusion. He saw that these people were wearing yellow scarves on their heads, and he couldn't figure out what to do.
But not long after, Ma Chao's eyes narrowed slightly. He saw some people in the crowd wearing yellow scarves on their foreheads, but their military uniforms looked exactly like Yuan Jun.
So, in the next moment, Ma Chao raised Ma Chao and shouted:
"Enemy troops, kill them all."
A moment later, when Han Rang was dragged to Ma Chao's feet like a dead dog, Ma Chao just asked lightly:
"Who are you to be my friend?"
After saying that, Ma Chao smashed Han Rang's Tianling Cap with a bone, and many of his people wept with blood and gasped for life.
After a while, except for dozens of corpses, the grassland became peaceful again.
……
Han Fu tried hard to keep his face calm, but his heart was already in turmoil.
After trying his best to hold back and listen to what the three defeated soldiers had said, Han Fu suddenly pulled out his sword and stabbed the man in front of him in the jaw. Then, while he was stunned, he pulled out his sword and stabbed him in the chest.
The last defeated soldier was frightened and rolled backwards, but was surrounded by the Han disciples who came to their senses.
Although these three people are also sons of the clan, and everyone present can't bear it, Han Fu has already made a decision, and there is really no reason for these three people to still be alive.
So, when Han Fu walked over step by step carrying the bloody accessories, the only remaining defeated soldier finally collapsed and cried:
"Lord, you really don't blame me. The enemy army is so powerful that we can't stop it at all. Besides, if we all die there, who can come and report the news to the lord."
After hearing this, Han Fu stopped and was silent for a while.
Just when the defeated soldiers thought that what he said was effective, Han Fu spit out a sentence:
"What you said makes sense, but now that you have finished your report, you should go down and accompany my son."
After saying that, Han Fu stabbed the sword directly into the chest of the defeated soldier.
Originally, many powerful people were still chattering, but after Han Fu killed three people in a row, they suddenly fell silent.
There was no other reason than that Han Fu was holding a knife in his hand and his mood was still so unstable.
No one dared to provoke Han Fu, but Han Fu took the initiative to laugh. With a smile, he raised his sword and slashed at the corpse at his feet, one after another, until he chopped the unlucky man into pulp.
As a result, everyone seemed to be breathing less.
Han Fu, who had vented his anger, suddenly raised his sword, turned around and glared at several powerful men, loudly:
"Everyone picked up the sword, let's fight with those Tarzan thieves."
But the powerful people who had been full of complaints before were all mute. No one responded and did not even look at Han Fu.
Just like that, Han Fu cried.
From laughing to crying, the mood changes so quickly, but it seems like nothing has changed.
He sat on the ground exhausted, his eyes empty.
At this time, Han Xun came over, sighed, patted Han Fu on the shoulder and persuaded:
"For the family, everything is worth it."
At this moment, Han Fu raised his head, and the more he listened, the more familiar these words became.
It turns out that this was not the tone he used when he persuaded Han Xun to give up his daughter and son-in-law.
It’s really retribution that’s upon me.
Then Han Fu stopped talking, and the others ignored him. When the time was about to expire, these people finally opened the camp gate and surrendered to Yu Jin outside.
There is no way, everyone has to live, no one is really stupid.
It's a pity that it took a lot of twists and turns to get the baggage back from the gang of soldiers. Anyway, with the surrender of Han Fu and others, the Taishan Army finally took over Yuan's camp.
At this moment, it seems that Yuan Shao is the only one left.
……
Yuan Shao pulled out the short knife he carried with him, cut the leather strips between the armors with a squeak, and finally took off the armor on his body.
As the armor fell to the ground, Yuan Shao breathed a visible sigh of relief.
After all, it was because of his age that Yuan Shao was tall and strong back then, but within a few years of being Duke Chen, he had gained a lot of weight on his belly.
At this moment, he had led hundreds of sidemen to a location that he didn't know where.
Anyway, this place is far away from the main camp.
Yuan Shao was very decisive in escaping. Although the camp contained the treasures he had accumulated over the years, he showed no mercy. After retreating, he had no intention of returning to the camp.
Although Han Fu was still leading thousands of officers and soldiers in the camp, he had lost an army of 100,000 people. What could he do with thousands of people? It's just a pity that Old Han will probably get stuck in the formation.
While thinking about this, several people nearby were dressing Yuan Shao in Guizhou attire. Even his hair was messed up and tied with a wooden stick.
This is what Xu You means. Although there are hundreds of warriors on the side, no one knows whether they can escape in the end.
If it comes to the end, maybe this outfit can actually save Yuan Shao.
Except for Yuan Shao who changed his clothes, the rest of the people present did not change. It was not because they were missing Qian Shou's clothes, but because these people wanted to dress up to show their identity so that they could find a chance for Yuan Shao to escape.
Those who can flee south with Yuan Shao are his confidants, and they are deeply entangled with Yuan Shao in terms of interests and emotions.
In terms of kindness, Yuan Shao is their master. He treats them kindly and nurtures them in order to protect his master's safety at this moment. This is the duty of a warrior.
And this is even more true in terms of interests. They are all Zhuangtian warriors promoted by Yuan Shao. If Yuan Shao dies in Yiluo, then Yuzhou will be finished. Then can the fields and families left in their hometown be left alone?
Therefore, just for the sake of their family's foundation and clan members, they had to protect Yuan Shao from rushing out.
But the good news is that, at least so far, they have not encountered pursuers.
Therefore, whether it was Yuan Shao or everyone else, they no longer had the initial nervousness in their hearts. They were just feeling sluggish because of the excessive physical exertion.
Just when Yuan Shao was about to let everyone drink some water, suddenly several riders came running from behind, and they were the ones who were behind to deal with the traces.
As soon as these people arrived, they were not even breathing, so they hurriedly reported:
"Lord, a group of enemy cavalry are catching up from behind. They are very fast and have a lot of horsepower."
The sudden news directly made the atmosphere tense. Yuan Shao hurriedly stepped on the stirrups to get on his horse, but he stepped on the stirrups several times and failed to do so.
In the end, Lu Zhao, who was beside Yuan Shao, bent down and let Yuan Shao step on his back before going up.
At this moment, Yuan Shao was completely panicked.
He looked at Lu Zhao who was holding the horse for him, pursed his lips, and was about to say something.
But seeing Lu Zhao, he cupped his hands and clasped his fists, and said to Yuan Shao:
"My lord, the mountains and forests here are dense. If I lead the people here to stop the attack, my lord will be able to escape safely." Looking at Lu Zhao with a determined expression, Yuan Shao felt complicated.
To be honest, he didn't put much faith in Chongluzhao, not only because he came from a humble background, but also because this person couldn't speak.
Just like just now, anyone who can speak a little would not use the word "escape", but this trick is so brainless.
But at this moment, Yuan Shao felt both ashamed and moved.
The shame is that he staggered when he saw Lu Zhao getting on his horse before, and he disliked him for being in the way. What moved me was that Lu Zhao was willing to die for himself.
After all, when a person is willing to die for you, it not only shows that person's loyalty, but also shows that Yuan Shao is charming enough.
And this pride is very important at this moment. It makes Yuan Shao feel that he only lacks military skills, but he is still a hero in other aspects.
As long as he can escape back, he will definitely entrust the military to someone special and then do what he is good at.
At this moment, he even regretted a little. He shouldn't have suggested that Ju Yi should be punished. He didn't know if he was still alive.
Sure enough, setbacks do train people and allow them to realize where the boundaries of their abilities are.
Of course, this is also true. At this moment, Yuan Shao really wants to live, and he feels that he can still do it.
So, Yuan Shao nodded, and then he ordered two team generals to follow the road and stay.
Finally, he stroked Lu Zhao’s back and said sincerely:
"Don't worry, as long as I, the Yuan family, are still here, your descendants will be rich and noble."
After saying that, Yuan Shao galloped towards the south.
After Yuan Shao ran away with more than 300 people, the remaining 100 people could no longer bear it and almost cried while hugging each other.
Lu Zhao did not scold them, but thought of his son, who must have died in the battle.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhao said to the hundreds of people left behind:
"Life lasts, grass and trees fall. People always have to die, but there are different ways to die. Do you want to die on the bed of old age with no name, but you are still willing to fight and die with me to protect the Lord. When the time comes, even if it is a battle Even after he dies, after thousands of years, who will not say that he is unparalleled in loyalty? ”
No one in Baiqi agreed with Lu Zhao's words.
Because they all came from a small land in Runan, they were not even considered rich before. It was just by chance that they were awarded farmland by Yuan Shao for their merits and became warriors.
Therefore, their thoughts and insights determine that they do not care about names, but care about the real things in front of them.
But at this moment, do they have a choice?
After all, the lower a person is, the more they are bound by loyalty. And Yuan Shao was indeed very kind to them!
At this moment, it was time for them to pay with their lives.
In this way, everyone packed up a batch of equipment, and then listened to the instructions and prepared to block the attack this time.
……
The initial plan was to divide a hundred people into two teams. One team would be led by him and set up on the road, while the other team would lurk in the dense forest on the side.
When the enemy made a bold attack, the Zhuangtian warriors lurking in the forest circled behind the enemy.
I have a lot of experience in road tactics, and I can use this roundabout tactic with ease.
But the way everyone was holding their heads and crying just now made Lu Zhao lose his confidence.
With morale so low, he was afraid that his troops would be divided and those people would scatter and flee for their lives once they entered the dense forest.
Therefore, for the sake of safety, Lu Zhao gathered all 100 people on the road.
Anyway, the result he wanted was to buy time for Yuan Shao.
In fact, Yuan Shao didn't know that Lu Zhao had more confidence in him than he had in himself.
In Lu Zhao's view, Yuan Shao still has a chance, and the temporary difficulties will not completely change him. On the contrary, Yuan Shao's decisiveness in escaping made him feel that Yuan Shao made up for the shortcomings in his character.
Therefore, at this moment, after Lu Zhao organized the military formation, he said another sentence to everyone in front of the formation:
"We want the lord to live. As long as we survive, we can make a comeback, and our family can continue to be rich and worry-free. If we come here to let the lord live, you will die with me!"
After saying this, the sound of horse hooves behind him became more and more urgent.
The enemy finally caught up.
……
In the wilderness, Ma Chao was riding in pursuit.
God knows how excited he was when he learned about Yuan Shao's traces from a defeated soldier.
Along the way, although Yuan Shao tried his best to eliminate the traces, Ma Chao still got hold of the clues.
As a warrior who has been hunting with his father and ancestors in Liangdi since he was born, Ma Chao has rich tracking experience. Coupled with some kind of luck, Ma Chao is very talented in this area of pursuit.
At this moment, Ma Chao looked at his slightly tired subordinates and began to raise their morale in a rare moment:
"In front of us is Yuan Shao, the leader of thieves. As long as we capture him, tremendous wealth will fall on our heads."
Ma Dai next to him was also good at this, so he quickly added:
"There are not many opportunities to change your destiny. There is one right now. For the sake of future generations, brothers must seize it!"
In fact, there is no need for the Ma Chao brothers to encourage them. Which knight present does not know that the monstrous wealth is right in front of him?
Therefore, although we have been exhausted all the way, but at this time, we must persevere.
Soon, Ma Chao glanced with his eagle eyes and saw a group of warriors gathered on the road ahead. Without saying a word, he rushed forward with a single horse and a spear.
Behind him, a group of knights also rushed forward, fearing they would be a step too late.
After a few breaths, Ma Chao rushed into the enemy formation. He was shouting from left to right, and the horse in his hand was turned into a windmill. Within the cold front, he was overwhelmed by the wind.
Perhaps inspired by Ma Chao or tempted by Yuan Shao, everyone seemed to be going crazy. They rushed into the formation fearlessly and fought with those Yuan soldiers.
Blood spread like ink on the green grass, and among the broken limbs and arms, the team got closer and closer.
When Ma Chao made a desperate move, he saw that his age did not match Yuan Shao and cursed:
"Say, where is Yuan Shao!"
Ma Chao has said this sentence countless times.
But at this moment, Lu Zhao looked at him with a sad smile and spat out a mouthful of blood:
"You... are not... worthy!"
After saying that, he tilted his neck.
At this moment, Ma Chao was so angry that he threw Ma Shan and Lu Zhao's body to the ground, until the shit was all over the ground.
After doing this, Ma Chao looked at the horseshoe marks ahead and roared loudly:
"Yuan Shao, you can't run away!"
Its voice is like an eagle or owl, making people shudder.
