At midnight, Zhao Shuhua personally sent Zhao You and his party out of the camp gate.
As soon as the army left, the entire camp was emptied. Yan Che stood behind Zhao Shuhua and said, "Mother, it's cold at night, go back and rest early, and when the morning comes, you will have news of a great victory."
Zhao Shuhua frowned slightly, "This is the last battle, but I don't know why, I'm always a little uneasy."
Yan Che persuaded, "My mother is too worried about my grandpa. Don't worry, with General Cheng, General Sun, and uncle here, my grandpa will be fine."
Zhao Shuhua took a deep breath, "You're right, I don't have to worry. Your grandfather has been in the northern border for decades, and when it comes to dealing with barbarians, there is no one better than him. I worry too much."
After saying this, Zhao Shuhua turned around and walked into the camp. Although it was midsummer, the wind at night still felt a bit chilly. Looking at the empty camp, Zhao Shuhua felt more and more lonely, and sighed for a moment, "Tomorrow the army will return to camp, and return to Chongzhou without staying for a moment."
Yan Che knew Zhao Shuhua's thoughts, "Okay, my minister will order the soldiers in the camp to prepare to leave the camp later."
To break out of the camp, the remaining 2,000 people would have to work half the night. Zhao Shuhua nodded and said, "After tonight, the Rongman will definitely return to Cangzhou. It is impossible for Yue Qiong to leave Cangzhou alone, regardless of whether he brings all Whether the soldiers pursue or divide the troops, we must seize this last opportunity to go south. If we wait for the Jinzhou Army to react, we will be in trouble."
Yan Che naturally agreed, and Zhao Shuhua said, "Okay, let's go get ready."
Zhao Shuhua went back to the tent of the Chinese army first, and Yan Che went to order the rest of the troops to prepare to break out of the camp. When they got back to their tent, Qin Chaoyu had already packed the parcels.
All the way north, Qin Chaoyu had long been used to silently taking care of everything for Yan Che.
Seeing Qin Chaoyu like this, Yan Che stepped forward and embraced her in his arms, "Thank you for your hard work, we will return to Chongzhou when our grandparents come back from victory tomorrow, and go south all the way to the capital, Yu'er, I will take you back to Lin'an city."
Qin Chaoyu hugged Yan Che, but smiled wryly, "Sometimes, I don't know if I should go back."
Yan Che raised his eyebrows, Qin Chaoyu rubbed his cheeks in his arms and said, "In the past in the capital, there seemed to be thousands of mountains and rivers between you and me. Although life is hard now, you are close to me, my father and mother Now that I have gone south, I don't care about Lin'an City any more, the glory is not as important to me as your coming."
Yan Che laughed for a while, "Silly girl, I didn't know your heart in the past, but now I know, you and I have experienced so many things, how can I let you down?"
Qin Chaoyu shook his head, "It's not because I'm afraid His Highness will betray me, it's because the Sifang City seems to have a kind of magical power, no matter how warm and kind people are, they may change. I haven't grown up in the palace since I was a child, Your Highness should know the most."
The words Zhao Shuhua said instantly popped up in Yan Che's mind, and he felt his heart beat violently.
He couldn't help hugging Qin Chaoyu's waist even tighter, "I know you don't care about being rich and famous now, but I feel indebted to you."
Qin Chaoyu smiled, "I used to want to be His Highness's wife, and I thought that living in the East Palace would be the honor of a woman's life, but now I just realized that what I wanted was always a position next to His Highness." Silent Mo, Qin Chaoyu didn't want to spoil the fun, and said, "As long as I can be with His Highness, no matter in Lin'an City or in this northern land, I feel very safe in my heart."
Yan Che thought deeply when he heard these words, "Yu'er, are you afraid?"
Qin Chaoyu smiled and shook his head, "I'm just afraid of being separated from His Highness."
Yan Che pursed his lips, tightened his arms for a while, and comforted Qin Chaoyu for a while.
The two lay down tenderly for a moment, thinking that they had to go to Chongzhou the next day, they didn't dare to delay, so they embraced and rested.
Qin Chaoyu soon fell asleep, but Yan Che was having trouble falling asleep.
Tonight, the southwest wind was particularly strong, and there were occasional noises from the soldiers who were pulling out the camp outside. Hearing these noises, Yan Che felt a sense of anxiety in his heart.
Although he didn't show his face for the past two days, Zhao Shuhua's words still lingered in his mind.
Even to this day, he still can't believe it, let alone imagine the scene of Lin'an City confronting that person.
Turning his eyes to look at Qin Chaoyu's sleeping face beside him, Yan Che had to admit that, like her, his desire to return to Lin'an City was fading day by day. He was also full of hatred, but now he has mixed feelings in his heart, and the hatred is reversed.
Yan Che tossed and turned for a long time without sleep, until the sound of camping outside became weaker by two points, he gradually fell asleep.
The tedious work of dismantling the camp was about to be finished, and it was already the middle of the night, Yan Che didn't dare to indulge himself without sleep, so he immediately closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Just when Yan Che was about to fall asleep, suddenly, a distant and heavy rumbling sound woke Yan Che up.
He opened his eyes to distinguish carefully, only to hear that the sound was getting closer and closer, it turned out to be like the sound of horseshoes!
Because there were too many visitors, the sound of horseshoes rolled over like thunder, and as the visitors approached, the sound of horseshoes made the whole earth vibrate.
Yan Che suddenly sat up, how could there be a large army bullying him!
Could it be that the grandfather came back? !
As soon as this thought came out, Yan Che shook his head in his heart.
It is absolutely impossible, the battle strategy has been decided long ago, with the temperament of my grandfather, how can I go back on my word? !
Yan Che glanced outside, there was no stars and no moon tonight, it was pitch black outside, but according to the time, I am afraid that it is just when the fire is set, who will come so early...
Suddenly, Yan Che's eyes widened, and he pushed Qin Chaoyu awake, "Yu'er! Wake up! Something is going to happen!"
Qin Chaoyu's hearing was weak, and he realized something was wrong when he woke up, but Yan Che had already changed his clothes, got out of bed and ran out!
Once out of the big tent, the movement outside became even more clear, and most of the tents in the camp were put away, and it was extremely empty at the moment. There were a few sleepless soldiers standing outside, and they were curious about where the noise came from. In the wind, looking at the direction of the hooves, the guess in his heart was even more certain. He couldn't help but shouted, "Quick! Get everyone up! Prepare to fight..."
The sound of hooves came from the west, and the west was the direction of Weixian County!
Yan Che wasn't sure how many people came here, let alone who ordered them. However, after the three armies joined forces, there was a rule that when the alliance was held, the commanders would meet. At other times, no matter how critical it was, they were not allowed to send troops into other people's camps. Now, As soon as my grandfather led the troops out of the camp, the sound of horseshoes came, which showed that the people who led the troops had bad intentions!
Yan Che's roar shocked the soldiers outside to call for someone. When Qin Chaoyu came out, Yan Che had already rushed to Zhao Shuhua's tent. As soon as he reached the door, Zhao Shuhua also came out wearing a cloak and walked towards the sound of hooves. Glancing at it, he frowned instantly!
"The comer is not kind, we can't fight, we can only run away!"
Yan Che asked urgently, "But this Kui Ye, where can we escape?"
Zhao Shuhua looked at Yan Che sternly, "There are only 2,000 troops in the camp, how can we resist 10,000 people?"
It would be fine if it was guarded by the city, but now the Beifu army camp is only stationed in a depression, and there are only simple wooden fences outside...
So, where can stop the enemy's iron hooves? !
The sound of horseshoes was getting closer and closer, and Zhao Shuhua could even see the shadows of soldiers approaching like a dark tide. She ordered decisively, "Everyone, immediately lead the horses and head north towards Luofengpo. As long as you can get rid of the pursuit and find the general , we still have hope!"
The army is north of Luofengpo! It's only two hours away! But Chongzhou City is to the south, but it takes a day to go!
The best way, of course, is to go to Zhao You!
Zhao Shuhua gave an order, everyone started to move, the sound of hooves was getting closer and closer, and for a while they couldn't care about those sleepy and unable to get up, everyone hurriedly led their horses and picked up their weapons, Qin Chaoyu wanted to take them with him in a panic. Walking away with the packed baggage, Yan Che grabbed her and only had time to put a cloak on her body. The guards outside led the horse over. Yan Che put Qin Chaoyu on the horse's back and got on the horse himself. In a short time, Zhao Shuhua had already got all the guards ready to go, seeing that the two of them were ready, and ignored the other soldiers, she just yelled and walked away, and then galloped out of the camp gate—
The soldiers who could keep up with the horses followed, those who couldn't keep up were still leading the horses in the stables, and some people came out of the tents in a daze, not knowing what happened, just when Zhao Shuhua just left the camp. The troops led by He Lin and Xu Huai arrived at the back, and the charge cavalry at the front broke through the fence and broke in. Looking at the soldiers in the camp who were in a panic and had no time to escape, He Lin shouted loudly, "I will come to put down the rebellion under the order of the emperor. Those who descend will not die!"
He Lin and the two of them led more than ten thousand people, but there are only two or three hundred people left in the camp. Seeing this situation, how can anyone dare to say no, and those who are lucky enough to want to run away, He Lin waved his hand , the cavalry behind him immediately fired arrows, and immediately, the man was shot into a sieve, and no one dared to run for a while.
He Linyu immediately stepped forward, pointed at a person with a knife and asked, "Where is the abandoned queen?"
The soldier panicked, "The queen... is heading...to the north!"
He Lin frowned, and looked at Xu Huai. Xu Huai was the least willing among the three to undertake this mission. Seeing He Lin looking at him, he said, "I'll give you the first shot, go and chase, I'll stay with you." Here are the captives bound."
He Lin thought that he had already come out, so naturally he didn't have to worry about it, not to mention that this was what the emperor and the Marquis of Anyang wanted, so he left a thousand people for Xu Huai, and with a wave of his sword, he took the remaining nearly ten thousand people and galloped towards Go north!
In terms of horse speed, the horses and horses on both sides are not slow, but Zhao Shuhua led the people out, but they walked forward in the dark, and sometimes someone tripped over and delayed the speed. After a while, He Lin and the others behind saw The shadow of the Queen and his party!
The queen only brought out more than a thousand people, and there was no chance of winning against He Lin at this moment. He Lin waved his hand, "Archers! Let the arrows go!"
Arrows rained down like locusts, and the people at the back screamed and fell off their horses. Yan Che, who was at the front, turned back to look at the sound, but Zhao Shuhua shouted, "Don't turn back!"
Yan Che's heart skipped a beat, and a sense of imminent death came to his face.
After many days in the north, he has always been well protected, and he has never led troops to fight. It is the first time he has been chased and killed like this. On such a dark and windy night, there are screams of soldiers behind him. Coupled with the occasional arrows passing by, cold sweat overflowed Yan Che's forehead!
He couldn't help but look at Qin Chaoyu beside him. Compared with him, Qin Chaoyu was even more difficult. When traveling at night, the horse's back was more bumpy. Looking at Zhao Shuhua again, although she is better than Qin Chaoyu, she is still very supportive in the end!
Yan Che hurriedly said, "Mother, this is not a long-term solution! We have to think of a way!"
The more critical Zhao Shuhua was, the colder his face became. Hearing this, he turned his eyes to look forward, and saw a faint shadow of a low hill in front of him. Zhao Shuhua hurriedly said, "After the begging in front, let's go separately, you and Yu Turn west, and I will take them north."
Yan Che was in a hurry, "Mother, don't—"
Zhao Shuhua said angrily, "Be obedient!"
Yan Che couldn't speak in a hurry, and the extremely fast horse speed made the cold wind pour into his mouth. Yan Che gritted his teeth and looked back, only to see the pursuers behind him getting closer and closer. When they were about to reach them, more and more flying arrows came through the air, and more and more people fell behind them. However, the footsteps of the pursuers kept on, and they almost stepped on the soldiers of the Beifu army who had fallen from their horses. , Those soldiers cried out in agony and died without even remembering!
Yan Che's eyes were reddened for a moment, and seeing Aoqiu in front of him, he said anxiously, "Mother! Let's go together!"
Zhao Shuhua slammed down the whip again, the horse suffered from pain, and immediately rushed up the hill, Yan Che hurriedly lashed the whip, but at this moment, a cold arrow flew from behind and brushed Yan Che's body The shoulder was nailed into the shoulder of Zhao Shuhua in front!
Yan Che screamed, Zhao Shuhua also leaned forward suddenly, the arrow nailed deep, and Zhao Shuhua's hand holding the rein suddenly let go, she was unable to hold the rein, the horse was galloping again, and suddenly her body trembled Shake it up!
"Mother—"
In an instant, the horse rushed up the mountain ridge, and at this moment, Zhao Shuhua couldn't hold on any longer, and was about to fall down!
Yan Che's eyes turned red, but fortunately the horse galloped to Zhao Shuhua's side, and immediately dragged Zhao Shuhua up with one hand. He dragged Zhao Shuhua onto his horse's back with great effort, then looked at the guards beside him, and ordered, "Go north —”
After the words were settled, they crossed the top of the mountain and turned to the west.
"Yu'er! Come with me—"
Qin Chaoyu was also frightened by the arrow just now, so he turned his horse's head and followed Yan Che with great effort.
The two of them dropped their whips frequently, and they walked out of the shot in a short while. The night became the best cover. How could they attract He Lin's attention with only two fast horses? !
He Lin led his people up the hill, and when he saw the large army ahead was still galloping, he rushed forward immediately.
The pursuers did not follow up, but Zhao Shuhua was bleeding profusely from an arrow!
And Yan Che worked hard to fix Zhao Shuhua on the horse's back, but he didn't know where to go at such a late night, Zhao You was in the north, but the north was already impossible, where should they go now
"Queen! Hold on, Queen Mother, we're going back to Chongzhou now!"
After much deliberation, Yan Che only thought of Chongzhou, and Qin Chaoyu followed, and couldn't help saying, "Your Highness! It must be too late to go to Chongzhou! We don't have anything, so we can't save our mother! Why don't we go to the west and find Qin Wan —”
