Chapter 244: The Road of Ghosts and Horses (Part 2)

"Quick! Speed ​​up and pass the evil path as soon as possible!" Li Deming rode on the horse, urging his subordinates to speed up their pace with panic, because just behind them, the pursuers of the Song Dynasty were also desperately chasing them. Although he left some people behind, he probably couldn't hold on for long.

Last night was a nightmare for all Dangxiang people. Even Li Deming is wondering whether he has not woken up in this nightmare? In just one night, they lost most of their troops. Now there are less than 10,000 people who have escaped, and their morale has long fallen to the bottom. Everyone is only concerned about escaping and is unable to resist the pursuit of the Song army.

Thinking of the situation last night, Li Deming couldn't help but look a little scared on his face. After his last defeat, after his efforts, he finally stabilized his morale and even sent troops to attack Qingzhou City. Although he failed and lost a lot of troops, he also plundered some property and finally blocked some people's mouths.

However, Li Deming also knew that it was impossible for him to win in such a situation, so he sent someone to send letters to Cao Wei to seek peace. Originally, he knew the Song people, and as long as he took the initiative to seek peace, the other party would definitely be very happy, because the Song people did not like to fight.

But what Li Deming never expected was that the letter he had asked for peace had just been sent into the city. That night, the Song army came to rob the camp and caught him off guard, who was completely unprepared. First, the cavalry of the Song army set fire everywhere, and then the main force of the Song army came from all directions.

Although there were patrolling soldiers in the Dangxiang camp, when they were warning, the Dangxiang soldiers in the camp did not even have time to put on their armor, let alone find their own horses. For the cavalry, without a horse, it would be equivalent to losing their legs, and some people could not even find weapons. How could they fight?

Thanks to Li Deming's quick chance, seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately made an immediate decision to break through from all over the world, and then he and his confidant came out from behind, otherwise he would become a prisoner of the Song army.

After Li Deming ran for several miles, he began to gather defeated soldiers, but in the end he only collected a few thousand people. You know, he had brought 30,000 people to an expedition before. Although he had lost a lot of people after two defeats, he still had more than 20,000 people, but he lost most of them overnight. Now he is almost certain that after returning, the major tribes will definitely use this to attack him. He still doesn’t know how much effort it will take to calm the anger of various tribes?

However, although there were not many defeated soldiers gathered, Li Deming did not dare to wait any longer. The pursuers behind could arrive at any time, so he immediately fled north with these thousands of defeated soldiers. Fortunately, there were always defeated soldiers who escaped on the way, especially the number of several of them was quite large, which increased the number of defeated soldiers under Li Deming by thousands again. Although it was still less than 10,000 in the end, it finally gave him some confidence.

"Father, there is a terrible road ahead, but the road there is steep. I am worried that the Song army will set up an ambush here, so should we send someone to investigate?" At this moment, Li Chengyu drove his horse forward with an arm hanging around his neck and said, "When he was escaping, Li Deming was in danger several times. Thanks to Li Chengyu's desperate rescue, Li Deming escaped safely, but he was injured and was slashed on his arm. Fortunately, it was not too serious.

When Li Deming heard his son's words, he also showed a thoughtful expression. He said that he had walked many times. Of course, he knew that this was an excellent place to set up an ambush. But now people are in panic. If they find an ambush in front of him, they may not dare to move forward any further. At that time, they might surrender directly to the Song army.

"Report~, the Song army has defeated the army that was cut off and is now accelerating to chase us!" Just as Li Deming was thinking, he suddenly saw a cavalry flying over and reporting loudly that it was he who sent to the back to investigate the spies who monitored the Song army.

"There is no time left, speed up and pass the terrifying path!" Li Deming immediately made a decision and roared again when he heard this. Li Chengyu next to him sighed secretly when he heard this. The pursuers behind were about to be imminent, and even if there was an ambush in front, they could only rush forward.

In fact, there is no need for Li Deming to give instructions. These Dangxiang people who finally escaped were already scared. Now if Li Deming forced himself to stay and resist the pursuit of the Song army, they might rebel on the spot.

As the tragedy got closer, Li Deming still ordered to be ambushed, but the defeated soldiers under his command had long been dispersed. The soldiers could not find the generals, nor could the generals find the soldiers, so his orders could not be conveyed at all. At most, more than a thousand personal guards around him could obey the orders, and he didn't care much about this. In fact, his current mentality was similar to that of ordinary soldiers. As long as he could escape back, the life and death of other people was not important to him.

"Here's here!" At the same time, Hu Yan Shouxin, who was ambushing behind the ridge, suddenly let out a low voice, then put down the telescope in his hand and said excitedly. The telescope in his hand was given to him by Li Zhang, but this telescope was made by Li Zhang, and it was made by Li Zhang. It was made by glass on the plane. Because its transparency was not as transparent as that of special optical glass, it must not be compared with the telescope in his hand, but it was also quite good.

"Where?" Cao Mata couldn't help asking anxiously when he heard this. Then Hu Yan Shouxin handed him the telescope in his hand, and Cao Mata was also very careful to hold it in front of him and watched carefully.

I saw that in the remote team, there was a relatively neat team of Dangxiang people. Everyone in this Dangxiang cavalry had horses and were dressed neatly, not as embarrassed as other Dangxiang people. Among these people, there were a few people who were protected by Tuantu, and you could tell at a glance that they were Dangxiang's senior management.

"It's a bit far away, and I can't see the appearance of the protected person. When I get closer, I'll take a look. I've seen Li Deming before and recognize his appearance!" Cao Mata held up the telescope and looked at it for a long time, but finally let go of his helplessness. The other party is still far away from them. Even with the help of this telescope, he can't see the other party's appearance clearly.

"Then wait a little longer. If Li Deming can be killed, then we will be the first to steal the title!" Hu Yan Shouxin looked at the defeated Dangxiang soldiers on the terrible path, and then spoke again. At this time, Dangxiang people had already passed the road under their feet, but in order to attract Li Deming to come, they could only let these people go.

"That... Brother Huyan, if I kill Li Deming this time, can you give this to me?" Cao Ma was gently stroked the telescope in his hand, and then asked Huyan Shouxin for advice with a thick face. He really liked this telescope so much that he could find the opponent's traces in the enemy's number. This was simply a magic weapon specially prepared for the generals.

"Don't even think about it. This is what I finally asked for from Li Zhang. If you want it, go find Li Zhang yourself!" Hu Yan Shouxin heard that Cao Ma wanted his treasure, and immediately took action and snatched it. He was reluctant to give the telescope to someone. When he was in the capital, his father Hu Yan Bixian asked him for it and didn't even give it to Cao Ma.

"Stingy, I'll go to Li Zhang when I go back!" Cao Mata couldn't help but curl his lips when he saw Hu Yan's look of trust, but when his eyes fell on the telescope in the other party's hand, his heart was still itchy.

Just as he was speaking, the team suspected to be Li Deming among the defeated soldiers of Dangxiang finally came to the road under their feet. Hu Yan Shouxin did not know Li Deming, so he could only lend the telescope to Cao Ma. When Cao Ma saw the appearance of the people below, he immediately whispered excitedly: "That's right, the one wearing black iron armor in the middle and with a long beard is Li Deming!"

"All army is ready!" Cao Mata put down the telescope in his hand and immediately ordered his subordinates. Then he raised the short gun in his hand and fired the first shot at the Dangxiang people below.

"Bang~" As Cao Ma's clear gunshots sounded, the ambushed musketeers immediately opened fire. For a moment, the ghost road was covered by bullets, and the Dangxiang people who were shot were also caught off guard, and the sound of people shouting and neighing were endless.

"No, hurry up!" Hearing the gunshots above his head, Li Deming also reacted immediately. He whipped the horse under his crotch and directed the guards beside him to speed up and rush forward.

In fact, Li Deming's judgment was very accurate. The path was very narrow, and he was blocked by his defeated soldiers in the front and back. However, in comparison, there were fewer people in front, not to mention that there were pursuers from the Song Dynasty behind him. So if he retreated at this time, he would probably have to die. But if he could rush through the ambush of the Song army, there might be a glimmer of hope.

The personal guards around Li Deming also understood what he meant. They pulled out their waist knife and began to rush forward. Instead, the person who dared to stand in front of them would be directly killed by them, so that they could clear the way as soon as possible, otherwise they would all die here.

However, although Li Deming's plan was good, he did not know that the musket army above his head had locked his position. Under the command of Cao Ma and Hu Yan Shouxin, several teams of musket soldiers concentrated their firepower to shoot at Li Deming, which also caused heavy losses to his personal guards. Even he was shot by himself, but this shot just wiped his arm. Although it was cut a wound, it was not serious.

"Father~" But at this moment, Li Deming heard a scream beside him, and then he saw his son Li Chengyu being shot and fell in front of his horse. However, Li Chengyu was not dead, but wanted Li Deming to pull him, so that the father and son might still survive.

However, Li Deming was scared at this time, especially when the bullets were all over the surroundings, which made him feel like he was in danger. So at this time, he was cruel and ran over Li Chengyu, which made Li Chengyu a little surprised at first, and then his face was filled with despair.
