Chapter 170: Swimming between life and death
Seeing rockets flying in the air, Tulu's legs became weak and he sat on the ground, his throat was sweet, and with a wow sound, a mouthful of blood spurted out.
The fire snakes in the air flew, and Tulu's despair was like the tongue of flames rising from the piles of grain, gradually increasing until the flames engulfed the entire pile, and the despair in his heart was endless.
He turned a deaf ear to the shouts of the bandits and the strange laughter. He only saw the sparks blooming after the blooming. This burned not only the food and grass, but also the plan of the Donghu King Nanzheng, and the hopes and ambitions of the Donghu people.
Tulu was completely sank on the ground, his face against the cold ground, and he screamed like a beast. Ten fingers were deeply embedded in the soil on the ground. Miranda sent him to assist Thorp, but he had the intention of foolproof. Unexpectedly, he did the job. How could he let Miranda explain this?
The sound of horse hooves mixed with the guards' panic shouts, "Sir, where are you?"
The horse's hooves suddenly stopped, and the guards turned over and got off the horse and ran to Tulu, "Sir, the horse bandits are about to rush here, they can't stop them. We have too few people and can't concentrate. Sir, let's go quickly!"
"Let's go?" Tulu smiled terrified, "I won't leave, I won't leave, let me die here, let Sha Potian cut off my head!" He screamed, slapped his head, and there was a sound of blood on his forehead.
Several guards looked at each other, rushed up, raised Tulu, put him on the horse, each turned over and whipped it hard, and rushed out protecting Tulu.
Behind him, the first logistics camp had completely fallen into a sea of fire, and the second camp also began to spark. Tulu just looked back and a stream of passionate blood rushed into his mind. With a buzzing sound, he fainted.
It was dawn, and the fires of the two camps were still burning. At this time, fires had already emerged in Yulin City. After setting fire to the two logistics camps, the bandits rushed into Yulin City and started burning and looting.
Sha Potian held his arms, leaned against his war monster, and watched his horse galloping under his command with a smile.
"Boss." He rode forward. When he was several steps away from Killing Day, he turned over and dismounted. "He grabbed a Donghu official, tried it for a while, and asked clearly."
"Well, what's the situation with tiger head?" Sha Potian asked.
"Those guys who pretended to be our gods defeated Aronda's more than a thousand royal cavalry head-only from Yulin, but were also attached to Thorpe. These days, Thorpe is chasing this army all over the ground!" The man called the tiger head smiled. "Thorpe thought about destroying these guys, but he didn't want to give us a favor. This battle is easy and refreshing!"
"Hutou, you are a Donghu. We burned Miranda's logistics camp with this fire. His plan to march south will go bankrupt. Wouldn't you regret it?" Sha Potian said with a smile.
"Bah!" The tiger head with a fat face spitted on the ground hard, "Miranda is raised by this bitch. I have a great grudge against him to destroy the clan and kill relatives. I will destroy everything he wants. If I don't kill all the Miranda clans, my tiger head will never end in my life."
Sha Potian beat him up and turned to look into the distance, "This guy who pretends to be us is very powerful. He can actually defeat Arenda in frontal battle. Great, Tigerhead, gather brothers, let's go and see the fun, I want to see this guy, well, maybe I can teach Thorpe a lesson by the way, how about venting you?"
"How dare you be good!" Hutou was overjoyed, "I'll gather my brothers now."
The Tuotuo River, Gao Yuan, who was considered very powerful by Sha Potian, was extremely embarrassed and finally escaped here. This evening, a vanguard of Thorpe's vanguard army was the first to catch up. Gao Yuan led Helanyan to fight with the Xiongnu cavalry under her command, and lost more than a dozen brothers' lives. Only then did he repel the vanguard army, but Thorpe's large army was getting closer and closer to them.
"Cross the river, cross the river overnight!" Gao Yuan looked at the turbulent Tuotuo River, and looked back behind him. Thorpe would pop out at some point.
"County lieutenant, the water flow here is getting faster, so it's better to find a place where you can swim across." Zhang Dongsheng hesitated.
"There is no time left. Cross the river and grab the ponytail. No matter how far it is washed by the water, after returning, we will gather as the assembly point where we are now. It must be fast, where will the large army wait for everyone for two hours." Gao Yuan took a deep breath and said decisively.
Everyone was speechless and began to pack their luggage silently, tied the heavy weapons on their bodies to the horse's back, tied them up and led the war horse to the rushing Tuotuo River. They didn't have time to find a place that was easy to swim, so they could only risk crossing the river. Behind them, Thorp chased them, and if he hesitated and caught up with him, it would be the end of the whole army.
Gao Yuan walked in front and beside him. He Lanyan followed him tightly, stepping into the cold and bone-black river water with his feet. Gao Yuan suddenly untied the reins of the horse and turned around and handed it to He Lanyan, "Tie it!" he said.
"What are you doing?" He Lanyan looked at him in confusion.
"Tie, I'll pull you, otherwise you will be washed away by the river. I won't be able to explain to your brother!" Gao Yuandao.
He Lanyan stared at Gao Yuan for a while and suddenly laughed, "Gao Yuan, is it just to explain to my brother?"
Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment, "Of course."
Helanyan's smile has not diminished, "It seems you still care about me."
"Where is such nonsense? Tie it up!" Gao Yuan suddenly became angry and said in a rough voice, "Don't waste time, time is life now."
"Okay, I'll tie it, tie it." Looking at Gao Yuan with a bad face, Helanyan suddenly became obedient. She took the reins and tied the first one to her slender waist. Gao Yuan silently tied the other end to his wrist, turned around and patted his horse's thighs. The horse neighed and walked into the river step by step, struggling to swim towards the other shore.
After half a stick of incense, all the soldiers went down into the cold river water, grabbed the horse's tail, and swam across the river hard. The water was so strong that the waves were soaring. As soon as they swam, the dense war horses and soldiers were washed away from afar. From a distance, the river surface was covered with heads and horses.
From time to time, people will be taken away by the river ruthlessly because they are exhausted. Gao Yuan is struggling to water skiing while shouting loudly, inspiring the soldiers to squeeze out their last strength.
It was already November. It was not only the wind and waves that threatened Gao Yuan's men. The cold river water was bone-chilling and cold. After a moment of going into the water, even Gao Yuan felt that the blood in his body was frozen. Looking back at Helanyan, his face had turned pale, his lips were not bloody at all, and his eyes were gradually losing focus. Helanyan was a woman after all, and her physical strength was much worse than that of a man. At this time, physical strength, endurance, and willpower were more important than when.
"Swallow, cheer up!" Gao Yuan shouted loudly, waved his wrist vigorously, and the reins collapsed straight. Helanyan's body was refreshed and she became more enlightened. "Swallow, wave your arm, look, the other side is not far from us, we have already swam halfway, come on."
After Gao Yuan shouted, a hint of spirit finally appeared in He Lanyan's eyes, "Gao Yuan, if we were all dead today and buried in this big river together, it would be considered dead and in the same cave. Gao Yuan, in the underworld, would you like me like Ye Jing'er?"
Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel angry. When was it time to be, she was still entangled with this thing. A woman has to say that she was really a strange creature.
"Swim over, if you can climb to the other side alive, I will tell you!" Gao Yuan said loudly. "Do you want to know the answer? Then just swim and keep swimming."
"You aren't lying to me?" Helanyan said sharply.
"I won't lie to you!" Gao Yuan held the reins with his back hand, pulled the horse hard, and pulled Helanyan to his side.
Time passed by minute by minute. At this time, Gao Yuan really felt that life was like years. The Tuotuo River, which was not very wide on the shore, seemed to never swim across the opposite side. Gao Yuan understood that it was not because the river surface had become wider, but because his group was waiting while swimming but was being carried downstream by the river torrent, which gave him a feeling of wider river surface.
"Brothers, swim over and we are back home!" Gao Yuan hissed and floated on the surface. From time to time, soldiers would be seen washed away by the torrents or sink directly into the water, and they would never see them emerging again.
"Go home, go home!" The roars of soldiers came from the river.
When you go home, every soldier uses this thought to inspire himself and squeeze out every part of his physical energy in his body.
Gao Yuan only felt that his limbs were numb. At this time, Helanyan beside him had already lost consciousness. Gao Yuan had to grab her and tie her to his back with a horse reins. In this way, his burden became even heavier.
It's coming, it's coming! I kept silently reciting in my heart. Gao Yuan finally saw that the war horse in front of him suddenly became taller. Then, the horse stood up in the water, shook his head hard, and the water droplets were flying everywhere. At that moment, Gao Yuan felt the blood in his body boiling. He waved his arm vigorously and swam forward a few more steps. His hands suddenly touched the bottom of the river. He also stepped on his strength. Gao Yuan stood up hard and staggered, and finally walked to the shore. His legs became weak and he patted himself flat on the shore. Helanyan was soft on his back, and his head was covered with wet braids, covering Gao Yuan's face tightly.
