Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions
Liu Dng turned around and looked at the densely packed Jin soldiers. He gritted his teeth and said, “Let’s split up. Try to minimize the casualties”
“General Liu, let’s fight to the death with the Jin soldiers.”
The soldiers following Liu Dng were indignant. They chased after the enemy, but they did not expect to be tricked by the Jin soldiers. They had no advantage in terms of numbers. This was a situation where they would definitely lose.
Liu Dng endured the pain in his back and gritted his teeth. “If we don’t return in time, General Chou will definitely send reinforcements. As long as we hold on, it’s not certain who will die in the end. Listen to me, everyone, split up.”
With the sudden disappearance of the cavalry, the advantage of the Jin army was gone. It was still uncertain who would win.
Liu Dng’s rank was higher than the soldiers, so the soldiers naturally listened to him.
Looking at the wounded and tired soldiers, Liu Dng did not hesitate anymore. His face darkened and he said solemnly, “This mountain is very big. After splitting up, go and find covers.”
The soldiers did not hesitate and immediately split up.
When the Jin soldiers saw that they split up, some were still chasing, and some could no longer catch up. It was no longer possible to kill all these hundreds of people.
The dense forest was a natural barrier.
Thend where the Jin soldiers lived was mostly t and wide. They were at a disadvantage when they entered the forest.
“General, these Xia Dynasty soldiers are too cunning. What should we do?”
The Jin soldier in ck armor asked the general.
“Chase after the enemy’s general and bring back his head.”
The general quickly gave the order.
There were still more than ten people around Liu Dng, and the Jin soldiers behind them were chasing closely. In less than ten minutes, they would catch up. Liu Dng’s face was pale, and his back hurt. He looked at the foggy mountains and panted. “Now, let’s split into teams of three. My team will continue to go up the mountain while the other two go down the mountain.”
Liu Dng looked at the soldiers supporting him. “Zhang Qiang, Xu Dong, go with me. The others, don’t follow me anymore. We’ll meet again if fate allows. Take care.”
The Jin soldiers chased after Liu Dng because they knew that Liu Dng was injured. It was clearly more dangerous to follow Liu Dng at this moment.
The people called Zhang Qiang and Xu Dong did not hesitate at all. They held Liu Dng on both sides and walked up quickly.
Liu Dng turned around and looked at the empty road. He exhaled and said, “My wound keeps bleeding and will leave a mark. Don’t follow me. Go.”
Liu Dng was sweating profusely. This was the first time he was so close to death. He did not want to implicate others.
Xu Dong and Zhang Qiang nced at Liu Dng’s back. Blood was flowing non-stop. If this continued, the Jin soldiers would catch up sooner orter.
However, it was impossible for them to give up their leader.
“General Liu, hang in there. The Jin soldiers won’t be able to catch up for a while. Let’s pull out the arrow to stop the bleeding first.”
After saying that, Zhang Qiang did not give Liu Dng a chance to speak. He immediately took off Liu Dng’s armor and threw it away. When he tore open the clothes beside the wound, he saw that the arrowhead had pierced into the flesh and blood was flowing out.
Zhang Qiang grabbed the arrow and pulled it out. Blood sttered. He looked at the arrow with worry and panic in his eyes.
Liu Dng immediately fainted.
Xu Dong poured all the ointment on the wound. “I’ll carry General Liu. Let’s go.”
Zhang Qiang and Xu Dong quickly arrived at an abandoned vige.
Zhang Qiang and Xu Dong were both very tired. They panted like an extremely tired dog. “There’s no one in this vige anymore. Should we go in and hide?”
Xu Dong looked around. “No. The Jin soldiers are evil. If they follow us here, they will rummage through the vige and kill everyone they see.”
Zhang Qiang thought for a moment and felt that what Xu Dong said made sense, so he carried Liu Dng and walked in another direction with Xu Dong.
However, before they could walk far, they heard someone calling. “Uncles.”
Zhang Qiang and Xu Dong were a little nervous. They turned around and saw four children. The eldest was a boy, about thirteen or fourteen years old. The youngest seemed to be only five or six years old. They looked at them timidly.
Xu Dong frowned. “Are you from this vige?”
The big boy in the lead nodded. “Yes, that’s our home.”
Zhang Qiang said, “Don’t go back. Hide somewhere else. Don’t follow us. It’s dangerous.”
“Uncles, he’s seriously injured and needs to rest. If you keep running, there will be a time when you’re exhausted. We have a ce to hide. Come with us.”
The big boy looked at Xu Dong and Zhang Qiang. After saying that calmly, he pulled hispanions forward to lead the way.
They had a ce to hide, but they woulde home from time to time. When they heard the conversation between Zhang Qiang and Xu Dong, they wanted to help them.
The Jin soldiers were ferocious, and themoners died miserably, but the soldiers of Xia Dynasty were also dying.
Looking at the thin children, the two of them knew that these children were probably the only ones alive in this vige.
Zhang Qiang looked at Xu Dong and said, “Are we following or not?”
Xu Dong gritted his teeth. “They’re familiar with this ce. Also, General is seriously injured. It’s difficult for us to find a way out.”
There was no time to consider or hesitate. If they were really found by the Jin soldiers, they would use their lives to protect these children.
The big boy in the lead quickly entered the path by the road and led the way. The path was steep and one could barely see the way.
In the end, they went down to the edge of a cliff. After Zhang Qiang and Xu Dong struggled to get Liu Dng down, they found an empty cave under the cliff. It was not big. This ce was difficult to find, so it was temporarily safe..
