Zeng Baohua and others had been fighting hard on the hill for more than two hours. They fled for dozens of miles, but were unable to support their horsepower, and were finally surrounded by pursuers.

They built a wall with the corpses of our enemies and our enemies, sealing the gentle slopes on the front and left sides. The other two sides were steep slopes five or six meters high. Without any equipment, it was a natural danger.

The pursuers could only clamor from the front to the gentle slope. Zeng Baohua guarded the front, Yang Chongyi, Dai Chengen supported the left and right, Xia Jinzhong, Yao Tiechu and others guarded the side, and Yao Busan and four others patrolled the steep slope to prevent the pursuers from climbing up quietly.

Zeng Baohua first used a strong bow, and at such a close distance, he almost scored every shot. After just a few hard battles, the two arrows he brought had been used up. The armor of the inner palace arsenal equipped by the eunuchs was mainly show off and did not really need to fight. Although the quality and appearance were excellent, the number of arrows and other configurations was definitely far less than the normal configurations of the imperial guards and the town army.

Now these swords, guns and arrows "borrowed" from Jiang Zuon have been exhausted.

After the arrow was shot, he poked it with a spear. Zeng Baohua inserted the iron spear high in the hill, holding the long painted spear equipped with the follower in his hand, and poked it hard at the pursuer who was trying hard to climb over the wall of the corpse.

The pursuers were poked four or five times, and three or four of them were poked over from the side. They started to cheer and retreated. Before they could react, arrows all over the sky had already arrived.

Zeng Baohua and others quickly sought cover to hide. They had no shield boards, so they could only use the dead body to cover the arrows. Hearing the puff sound of the arrow piercing into their bodies, Zeng Baohua said to Yang Chongyi and others beside them: "Fortunately they are just cavalry horn bows, not the strong arch and crossbow of the infantry. Otherwise, if we had shot arrows for a few times, the corpse of our shield would have been shot with thousands of holes and no barriers."

After feeling Zeng Baohua's relaxed tone, Yang Chongyi and others were not so desperate. No matter how bad it was, how bad it would be? Isn't it just death? Yao Tiechu replied with a smile: "Brother Hua, you are familiar with military affairs. Have you ever been a tattoo man before?"

"When I was in my hometown Yuyang, I worked as a village soldier for several years with my father. One year, the Khitan was very powerful and surrounded Youzhou City for more than half a year. I was only seven or eight years old at that time. I was not yet tall. I also joined my companions in a gang with the Lulong Town Army and the reinforcements of the imperial guards. Later, I followed my family to Taihang Mountain to settle grass, and went down the mountain to beg for life in Hedong and Hebei. The ground was full of bandits and soldiers, and I didn't have the military affairs, so I would not live now."

Yao Tiechu said silently for a while: "Brother Hua, do you hate the Khitans?"

"The Khitans who harmed my people hate me, want to kill them quickly! Those who treat my people well, don't hate me, can drink horse milk wine and sing together."

"Okay! Brother Hua, if you escape this disaster today, you will drink horse milk wine with you!" Yao Tiechu shouted.

The rest of Yao Tonglang was in disguise, and Shu Tongshu also showed a happy smile on his face. The little lady of the Yao family, who was protected by several people, looked at Zeng Baohua with her eyes full of brilliance.

The pursuers shot arrows for a while, and dozens of soldiers rushed forward with weapons. Zeng Baohua roared, revived everyone, fought hard for two quarters of an hour, and finally defeated the pursuers again.

The exhausted people sat on the ground, gasping, enjoying this rare peaceful break.

"Brother Hua, Cheng'en is almost gone." Yang Chongyi walked over and whispered.

Zeng Baohua followed and saw Dai Chengen lying there. Xia Jinzhong used his clothes to hold down several blood holes on his body, but he still couldn't stop the surging blood.

"You stupid guy, you told you not to stretch out, but you don't listen. You are not a Vajra protector." Xia Jinzhong said with a hoarse voice and tears.

Dai Chengen smiled and grabbed Zeng Baohua's hand tightly, using all his strength to speak. But in addition to being able to spit out blood foam, he could only make a humming low voice.

Zeng Baohua leaned down, put his ear against his mouth, and repeated his words word by word.

"Burn my body and the blazing holy fire."

Yang Chongyi also surrounded him. He and Xia Jinzhong sang loudly with tears in their eyes: "What is life good, and what is death hard?"

After singing this, Dai Chengen tilted his head and was already desperate. Zeng Baohua gently stroked his eyes and said loudly: "Good brother, we will be brothers in the next life!"

Yang Chongyi and Xia Jinzhong were already crying and shouting in a hoarse voice: "Good brother, we will be brothers in the next life!"

Yao Tongye lay on the other side. He was stabbed several times and was hit by four or five arrows, and was most seriously injured. He said to the young lady of the Yao family in tears: "Aunt, I can only escort you here. After I die, my soul will turn into a flying eagle, leading you to the sky and return to the grassland."

As he spoke, his voice became lower and lower, and he could no longer move with his eyes.

"Time is like flowing water, spring comes to my hometown again; the vast fields are covered in tender green spring clothes; the horse is tall and strong, running but going far away; you, my sweetheart, may you not be on the horse?"

The little lady of the Yao family sang softly, like the birds flying on the grassland in spring, like the manes of horses running in the sunshine.

In the singing, Yao Tongye's eyes shone with light, as if he saw the grassland in his hometown in the distance, his little foal, and his mother-in-law, smiling in the shaking grass, stretching out her hands to him. Finally, in the singing, his eyes slowly lost their luster.

Zeng Baohua glanced and found that there were only a few people left on the hills. Only Yang Chongyi and himself could move. Yang Jingshui could still climb. The rest of the people were killed and injured. Only one named Wu Baoxiang was left. He was injured and lying on the ground with Yang Jingshui. Xia Jinzhong was also injured, but it was not very serious. It seemed that he could hold on for a while.

On the Yao Mansion, Yao Busan, Busi and Shu Tongshu were more of protecting the Yao family’s wife, so the three of them were only slightly injured.

The young lady of the Yao family said to Zeng Baohua: "I have seen your abilities too. If we hadn't been implicated just now, you would have escaped. Now that you have reached this point, you have been with us to this point, and you have been kind and righteous. When it's night, you can leave quickly, we will cover you."

Zeng Baohua smiled and said lightly: "When Yanshan Camp was captured and before the Taihang Mountains were destined, our family members and relatives swore that they would never give up any companion in the future and would definitely live and die together. But along the way, many companions died in front of them. Most of them didn't even care about the corpses. I don't know if they were rotten in the wilderness, or into the belly of jackals, dogs, wolves, or hungry people."

Speaking of this, Zeng Baohua looked at Dai Chengen's body on the other side and said sadly: "How many times, they protected me and left my life first, and chose to die. This time, I never want to leave first. Whether life or death depends on the will of heaven. If God wants to be defeated, everyone will die together. Anyway, with so many people being company, I will not be alone on the road to the underworld."

Yang Chongyi, Xia Jinzhong, Yang Jingshui and Wu Baoxiang cried loudly, saying loudly: "Even if we are a ghost, we must follow Brother Hua."

"Haha, there is no way to live on earth. Let me go to Fengdu underworld for a big fuss. Those judges of the King of Hell, I will pull them off. This King of Hell Hall should be replaced."

"Okay! I will follow Brother Wu to the underworld of Fengdu for a big fuss, and ask them to be arrogant and prosperous. The judges of the Ghost King, who will also taste the power of these little ghosts!"
