Song Dynasty

Chapter 302
Niu Gao: "But go on, let's talk about the key points, don't delay. Don't wrap your wounds, the knife on your stomach will kill you."

The prisoner: "Yes, Doctor Tie. There are too many people. Everyone is wrapped in one place and hacked and killed. It was out of control. After killing for a long time, I don't know where I went. I saw Brother Yao Just at the side, just about to gather the troops, suddenly heard a burst of horseshoes, and a cavalryman from the Sizhou Army came over with a horse lance, shouting, "Master Zhong has given the head, Lianyunzhai has been breached, put down your weapons and surrender!" You can avoid death.’ That’s right, it’s the head of the official family, and everyone saw it for real. Immediately, they shouted, ‘The city is broken, the city is broken, run away!’ and it disappeared.”

"The cavalry probably had few people and didn't love to fight, so they rode far away."

"When he saw the official's head, Brother Yao had tears in his eyes, and he called out, 'It's over! I can't control that much anymore, first find a way to go down the mountain and leave Taoyuan, and there may not be a chance to make a comeback in the future."

"Because the villain was stabbed in the stomach, he couldn't catch up, so he was wrapped up here by the rebel army."

After hearing his words, Yue Yun sneered: "A comeback? Pooh, there is only one road on this mountain. The army of military envoys has already killed the mountain. Where else can Yang go?"

"No, no!" Niu Gao's expression froze: "There is another way, but I forgot."

Yue Yun's face was confused: "What is the reason? If there is a truth, we don't have to spend so much energy climbing the cliff along the rope, and even fell a brother to death for nothing."

Niu Gao shook his head: "That place was originally a path for mountain folk vegetables and medicines, and it couldn't allow many people to pass through, because there were fewer people walking, so it was deserted. I also went to pick medicine with Xi...that is, Yang Yao's sister a while ago. I just found out. This road leads to the city wall at the foot of the mountain. Even if we want to take this road, we must first enter the city. If we can really enter the city, the stronghold will be broken, and we still need to climb the cliff? Today’s chaos Well, if Yang Yao fled to the foot of the mountain through that mountain road, he might not be able to disguise himself and get out."

Hearing what he said, Yue Yun finally understood: "Hey, I said Lao Niu, why don't you hurry up and stop him with your nonsense?"

Niu Gao sighed: "Go over now, can you catch up with Yang Yao?"

Yue Yun: "I have to try anyway." So he said to the dozen or so soldiers of the Beiwei army: "You guys stay here to guard the prisoners, and General Niu Boyuan and I will go hunt and kill Yang Yao."

In fact, the two of them also knew that if Yang Yao wanted to leave, he would have already reached the foot of the mountain, maybe he had already left the city, and it would be too late now, they were just treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

It was still very dark, and even though the cottage was on fire, it was still difficult to walk.The two strong men were running on the road, they couldn't help but stumble along the way, and they broke countless shrubs and trees, their genius gradually opened up.

At this time, they realized that they had reached a mountain road.

The terrain of this road is extremely dangerous, with a deep cliff on one side, looking down from above, there are still shouts of killing coming from below.The torches in the hands of the Sizhou army are like fire dragons circling in the mountains.At the other end, the fire in Zhong Xiang's palace seemed to have stopped, but the white smoke pulled out a thick and straight pillar, connecting the earth and the sky as one.

The road is very narrow, and only two people can pass side by side. The road is full of sand and stones. When people step on it, small stones can't stop falling towards the cliff.

As for the other side of the road, there is an extremely steep grass slope covered with ground grass and a dense clump of seabuckthorn.

Fortunately, the sky was already fully lit, otherwise, with Yue Yun and Niu Gao's burly bodies, walking here in the dark night, even with a torch in hand, they would fall off the cliff at worst, and they would be crushed to pieces.

Unknowingly, the raid on Lianyunzhai lasted for an hour and a half.

Yue Yun walked on the road for a long time, but he didn't even see a human hair, so he called out, "Unlucky, it looks like Yang Yao has escaped, let's go back and see the military envoy!"

"Wait, that's not right." Niu Gao shouted suddenly, then squatted down and looked at the ground carefully.

Yue Yun was a little impatient: "Old Niu, what are you doing with your ass pouted? Do you drink water? You and I are both generals in the army. Yang Yao left as soon as he left. I don't know how many things the military envoy still needs. You and I cook, let's go!"

Niu Gao suddenly turned his head to look at Yue Yun: "Ying Xiang, just now we were walking in the dark night, what happened?"

Yue Yun was unhappy: "What else can happen, the back of my hand is cut by the sawtooth on the grass, don't say such unpleasant things, okay?"

Niu Gao giggled, "You know nothing."

Yue Yun was furious: "Lao Niu, I'm not happy when you say that. Why, do you want to compete with me?"

Niu Gao ignored him, and said: "When I was young, I, Niu Gao, rode a fast horse and hunted in the wild with my servants all day long. I often stayed in the mountains for three to five days. If you talk about the ability to distinguish the footprints of wild animals, you will be surprised. I think it's a bit of a trick. You and I are strong and strong, but we still bump into each other when walking on the road in the dark. Yang Yao's status, he must have brought many followers when he escaped. You look at the road full of people. Floating soil, but no footprints can be seen, which means...hehe..."

He turned his head and looked at Yue Yun with piercing eyes.

Yue Yun was also stunned: "This means that Yang Yao hasn't come yet, we're ahead of him."

"Yes, it must be." Niu Gao said: "Perhaps Yang Yao has something to delay, Ying Xiang, why don't you and I stay here. It's fine if Yang Yao doesn't come, if he comes, tell him to leave today Go Huarong Road."

Yue Yun was overjoyed: "Lao Niu's words are good. In this way, you and I will first seize the favorable terrain and wait for Yang Yao over there."

As he spoke, he pointed to the seabuckthorn bush on the grass slope: "If the enemy comes, you and I will block the road with a strong bow."

He is an old man after all, and although he is still young, he quickly made the correct arrangements.

Niu Gao admired him in his heart, and said: "Okay, I will follow General Yingxiang's orders."

The two climbed up the slope, each took out their strong bows and took them into their hands, and stuck the arrows in the bag into the soil in front of them.

Yue Yun asked with a smile: "Lao Niu, I heard that you are good at archery, but how is it compared to a military envoy?"

All warriors are unwilling to admit defeat, Niu Gao said: "Although I have never seen a military envoy's sharp shot, Niu Gao thinks that he will not lose to anyone, at least he is better than General Ying Xiang."

Yue Yun sneered: "Nonsense, let's compete and see who shoots and kills the most thieves, ten coins."

"Okay, it's up to you." Niu Gao and Yue Yun are the wealthiest generals in the Sizhou Army, they were very angry at the moment, and made an astronomical bet.

As he was talking, suddenly, a group of Manichaean broken soldiers came in disorder, about 30 of them.

Who is the leader if not Yang Yao?

When seeing Yang Yao, Niu Gao's heart was overjoyed, and then his heart sank again. Beside Yang Yao was Ximei.
