Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Shouts, slashing with swords, and screams rang out in the night.

Wei He and Han Tao roared hysterically, riding horses and leading their personal soldiers to guard the rear. Several Liao cavalrymen from the side and rear thrust their spears at them. Han Tao roared loudly, smashed the spear barrels with the axe in his hand, and chopped off the neck with the axe in his backhand. Using the remaining force, he knocked another rider who was approaching to the ground. Someone at the rear reined in his horse in fear.

"Walk--"

Wei He roared, killed one man with the sword in his hand, roared at Han Tao, and the two turned their horses around to chase the infantrymen running ahead.

As soon as the Liao army behind shouted "Chase", Wei and Han in the front suddenly turned around and pulled the bowstrings to their full potential. The guards beside them then shot a rain of arrows. A dozen cavalrymen in the front were immediately hit by arrows and fell off their horses with a scream.

Fighting often broke out on the roads bordering Liaoxi Prefecture. The Liao soldiers, who were riding horses and holding bows and swords, would catch up with the fleeing figures in front from time to time, but were turned back and fought desperately by Wei He and Han Tao. The figures would then turn around and run away. The retreating Liao soldiers would hesitate for a moment and then catch up with them from behind.

whoosh-

Arrows flew past my ears and I could vaguely hear someone shouting from behind.

"Die, die, die, die, die, die—"

In the dark night, war horses were galloping, a fat figure was holding a large sword upside down, his mouth opening and closing, occasionally turning around to shoot an arrow, and there were running figures all around, a cool breeze blew across the sky, but it could not blow away the heat from people's bodies.

He turned around and evaded on his horse, but when he turned around, he found that there was no danger. Han Tao gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Wei..." He turned around and looked at the Liao army chasing him with the axe in his hand, and roared at him, "Can you please stop saying such unlucky words? Damn it, if I don't die at the hands of the Liao people, I will be cursed to death here by you!"

"Ah?" Wei He turned to look at him, with an innocent look on his fat face: "I'm just nagging a few words, Liao Gou can't catch up."

As he spoke, he lowered his head and an arrow flew over.

"I...is this a question of whether to chase or not?" Han Tao couldn't see the expression of the person in front of him in the darkness. His breathing was a little uncomfortable. He couldn't help but straighten his body a little. His warhorse suddenly jumped up as if it saw something.

whoosh-

"what--"

Screams rang out in the air.

"Brother Han!" Wei He was shocked and quickly turned around and reined in his horse.

Behind him, the warhorse fell to the ground with two crisp sounds. Han Tao let out a muffled groan, and fell forward on the horse's back.

"Damn Liao dog——"

Wei He was furious, his fat face was filled with anger. He put away his sword and drew his bow, turned around and shot an arrow, then pulled the reins and was about to turn around and fight. Many soldiers behind him stopped and turned around with their swords in hand.

"Wait!" A suppressed voice sounded beside him, and General Baisheng on horseback stretched out his hand and shook it: "I'm not dead."

"Oh..." Wei He's face immediately warmed up. He pulled the reins and shouted, "What are you standing there for? Run!" He hit the horse a few times to catch up with the horse in front. The soldiers behind him had just taken a step, then hurriedly stopped, turned around and continued to flee behind.

After the fierce fighting, although the Liao army dared not pursue and kill again, there were still quite a few of them. They lost nearly a thousand people in this attack. If they were entangled by the pursuers and caught up by the large group of Liao army, they would most likely die here.

"How is Brother Han? Where are you injured?"

The sound of horse hooves rang out as Wei He rode his horse closer to Han Tao, a look of concern on his fat face.

"..." Han Tao opened his mouth with a complicated expression, and finally squeezed out a sentence: "Brother Wei, you are such a bastard, you should stop nagging me in the future."

Wei He's old face turned red, and he muttered with a shy look: "How would I know you could be injured..." Then he raised his voice: "Where exactly are you injured? Bandage it quickly, don't bleed any more and lose your strength."

The general next to him just grunted a few times, but didn't say a word. The footsteps continued to sound around him, and the arrows shot at him became sparser. He turned around and saw the pursuers stopped in the night and were standing there watching this side. Suddenly, the pursuers began to return.

"You're making me anxious." Wei He turned his head and pointed at Han Tao, "These Liao dogs have stopped. Brother Han, where are you injured? Tell me!" Seeing that he still didn't say anything, he said, "Brother Han, did you get shot in the vitals? Don't hold on, or else something will happen..." He suddenly shuddered, "I can't afford to offend Brother Peng Qi."

Han Tao's face turned black. "My ass is hurt, you bastard, what are you talking about? I will kill you when I get back!"

"Butt..." Wei He repeated it in his mouth, and the expression on his greasy face was quite interesting.

The sound of running breaths around them reached their ears, and the sound of horse hooves continued to ring under the two of them. The two people on the horses stared at each other in the dark for a long time. Wei He tilted his body and looked behind General Bai Sheng. In the dark, he vaguely saw a thin object inserted behind his comrade and rising and falling with the warhorse: "Butt? It was the horse that jumped up just now..."

"Shut up!"

Bai Shengjiang's voice was a little embarrassed and annoyed. Wei He said "Oh." and turned to look forward. The wind brought by the war horse blew on his face, and the scenery in the dark retreated backwards. The fat man who seemed to be wandering in the sky suddenly turned his head: "How about bandaging it?"

"Wei! He!"

In the darkness, Yum will roar.

……

Liao army camp.

Xiao Qing looked at the turning horses with an unpleasant expression. He walked up to the general leading the team with the hilt of his sword in hand and grabbed his shoulder armor. "He ran away? With so many of you, you still let him run away?"

The general lowered his head and said, "The two enemy generals are very brave. No one on my side can defeat them..."

"The Liao Dynasty is in such a state of decline because of soldiers like you who are afraid of death." Xiao Qing pushed the man away fiercely: "Take him away and beat him with forty military sticks."

Soldiers came up from behind and pulled people downstairs.

Looking around the burned military camp, the Khitan general turned and walked towards the central army tent: "Take care of this place, put more deer horns and chevaux de frise, beware of the enemy army's sneak attack again, and build a new gate tomorrow."

"Yes."

……

On the top of Changqing City.

Liu Yun and Wen Zhongrong stood on the east gate tower and looked at the burning Liao army camp for a long time in silence. The two men in the city were not enough to support the outside world, so they could only stand on the city wall and watch the turbulent situation outside, hoping that the soldiers who came to raid the camp would be safe.

This commotion was exactly what Wei He and Han Tao had hoped for. The people in the city knew that reinforcements were coming, and their morale was boosted greatly.

On the Dingwei day, Yu Yulin led his troops to Xianzhou. The Liao army that was tying down the troops of Xianzhou from the outside was caught off guard and was suddenly attacked by Yu Yulin who broke into the city and joined forces with Me Gong, resulting in a stalemate.

On the day of Wushen, the Liao army once again launched an attack on the city. The troops defending Changqing fought for most of the day and repelled three waves of attacks.

That night, Wei He and Han Tao once again led their troops to attack the Liao army's southern camp, burned its gate and fled.

On Gengxu, Lu Bu led his cavalry across the Liaohe River and went down into Xianzhou from the north. Outside the city, the Liao general was fighting with Me Gong and Yu Yulin in the wild. The cavalry broke through the central army and killed him in the battle line under the big flag. Then Yu Yulin was left to guard the city, and he joined Me Gong and continued to move south.

On the 11th day of the 11th month, the army entered Liaoxi Prefecture. (End of this chapter)
