Kai Fu Han

Chapter 262 The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain
"What to do now?" asked a soldier next to Liu Xinyuan.

After Wanyan Jingzhe was killed by Liu Xinyuan, the surrounding Jurchen soldiers also temporarily slowed down their offensive, but they did not disperse. Instead, they surrounded more and more. Many Jurchen soldiers also entered the woods on both sides, and arranged for Liu Xinyuan and others to escape from the forest. Escaped.

"There is no choice but to break out." Liu Xinyuan replied.

"Which way?"

Liu Xinyuan thought about it. Although he could go into the water to avoid the seaside, it was still ten miles away from the seaside. These Jin soldiers were all cavalry, and their speed was not much slower than that of the soldiers.Moreover, the sea water contains salt, and all the eleven soldiers present were injured to varying degrees, and their wounds were soaked in salt water...

"Enter the mountain and face east. If they really dare to catch up, we will take them around the mountain." Liu Xinyuan decided and whispered, making sure that the surrounding soldiers could hear him, and finally added: "See for yourself If your martial arts skills are enough, upgrade them immediately, and we will break through in one breath!"

After receiving Liu Xinyuan's order, everyone called out their attributes and checked. Only three people had reached [-] martial arts, including Liu Xinyuan.

After the upgrade, the injuries on his legs and arms were immediately relieved, and his combat strength was partially restored.

"preparation!!"

There was a loud roar from the Jin Army camp opposite. It was in Jurchen language. I don't know what it said, but seeing the Jurchen soldiers raising their bows and arrows, Liu Xinyuan realized that something was wrong.

"Run! Breakout!"

Liu Xinyuan shouted loudly.

"Archery!!"

Liu Xinqi's order and the enemy general's order were issued almost simultaneously.

The eleven warriors moved as fast as rabbits. As soon as Liu Xinyuan's voice fell, they rushed directly towards the southeast. They used the swords in their hands to deflect a few deflected arrows. A dozen of them perfectly dodged these arrows. Waves of arrows.

Facing these warriors whose physiques were at least three times stronger than those of ordinary people, who were all covered with steel armor and held hundreds of steel knives, the Jurchen soldiers around them were unable to stop them at all. They were quickly broken through the encirclement and rushed into the mountains.

Liu Xinyuan led ten soldiers to run away. A quarter of an hour later, they found that there were no pursuers behind them, so they stopped to rest and bandage each other's wounds.

"Take the two of them back to have a look and see what's going on."

Liu Xinyuan ordered the three soldiers who only suffered some superficial injuries.

Two quarters of an hour later, the three came back to report.

"The Jin army did not send anyone to chase us. Instead, under the leadership of some generals, they collected the bodies of the Jin soldiers who died in the battle and continued towards Yexian."

"We have to inform the rear as soon as possible. There must be golden eagles in Ye County. I have to trouble you three. After a short rest, rush to Ye County immediately and try to make Ye County ready before these golden soldiers arrive and kill Wanyan Jingzhe's Notify the leader of the alliance."

"Anyway!"

The three simply ate some dry food and replenished some water before setting off again.

Liu Xinyuan returned to Huang County with the remaining people.

Everyone returned the same way and walked to the boundary river. They happened to encounter the first fleet planning to set sail into the sea and go to Ye County. They only found out after talking with Zhao Liang.

The first fleet's trip to the Jiehe River was in vain. It neither blocked the Jin cavalry camp nor encountered Liu Lin's troops. Liu Lin diverted directly from Huang County to the south.

Now I have just received the latest order from Liu Xinqi, asking the first fleet to rush to Yexian to support the Yexian defenders and win the Yexian defense battle.

Ye County is completely close to the sea, and there is a moat surrounding the city and connecting it to the sea. Ships can directly reach the city wall. The navy rushing there may be of great help to defend the city.Liu Xinyuan considered that even if a few of his people followed him to Yexian, they would not be of much help. Instead, he followed Liu Lin's remnant army to Laiyang, which might play an unexpected role.

Liu Xinyuan felt that the two assassinations of Liu Yi and Wanyan Jingzhe seemed to have awakened a certain talent in his body. He felt that he really liked the feeling of holding the enemy general's life in his hands.Especially after a successful assassination, the sense of accomplishment that one's actions had reversed the situation on the battlefield really made one want to stop.

After bidding farewell to Zhao Liang, Liu Xinyuan left several of his seriously injured soldiers at Zhao Liang's place. After being supplemented by Zhao Liang, Liu Xinyuan followed Zhao Liang's men, who were supplemented by ten men, and chased southward along the official road.

……

Passing through Nanshan, I found that a large number of refugees gathered at the foot of Nanshan. Only a dozen Taoist priests were serving porridge at the foot of the mountain, but there was no movement in the temples on Nanshan.

Liu Xinyuan stepped forward and asked several refugees before he found out.

Liu Lin led tens of thousands of troops but had no food supplies. He could only say that all the villages and towns along the way were looted. Fortunately, there was still a little bit of humanity left.There was no killing spree.However, several refugees complained to Liu Xinyuan that their relatives had been killed by Liu Lin's rebel soldiers when they resisted, and some examples of rape, humiliation and plunder by the rebel soldiers were spread by word of mouth among the refugees.

"Fellow folks! Common people! Please listen to me."

After finding a high ground, Liu Xinyuan stood on it and shouted loudly.

After shouting several times, he saw that the attention of most of the refugees at the scene was attracted by him, and then he continued to say loudly: "The traitors of the Puppet Qi are incompetent and immoral. They were defeated by our Xinghan Alliance on the bank of the Yellow River. Now the defeated troops are rushing to Laiyang, but let The folks along the road suffered."

"So this is ah…"

"Is the Xinghan Alliance so powerful? I heard that this time Jin and Qi combined more than [-] troops, but they were defeated by the small Xinghan Alliance."

...

The people below were talking a lot, and Liu Xinyuan continued to shout loudly:

"Xinghan League has a custom of accepting refugees. It will never let a refugee suffer from hunger and cold. If you go northeast, as long as you enter the Xinghan League boundary, which is the original Penglai County boundary, no matter which village you enter, you will be properly resettled. .”

"When we wipe out all the rebels in Laiyang, you can go back to your homes."

"Really?" some people asked.

"It's absolutely true! There's absolutely no lie." Liu Xinyuan assured.

"I have heard that the Xinghan League is indeed accepting refugees unconditionally." Some people publicized their experiences below.

But what surprised Liu Xinyuan was that the Taoist priest over there also helped him speak:

"Dear believers, I can prove what this strong man said. I went to Penglai some time ago, and the refugees there are indeed accepted unconditionally, and they will be properly resettled to ensure food and clothing."

"The Taoist Master said so, and it's actually true."

"Yeah, let's go over there and take a look. I hope it's a way to survive."

"Hey, in troubled times, it's good to have food to eat, and we don't expect food and clothing."

After hearing the Taoist priest's testimony, the people below finally believed that after drinking the porridge, they began to head towards Penglai County one after another. Only a small number of people still insisted on staying here, waiting for relief from Taoist temples and temples.
