Chapter 17 Escape
The Black Mountain Army headed north very fast...
The ability to run with two legs may be the characteristic of the rebel army. After all, the living environment is harsh, and escaping is common. Over time, it becomes the capital for survival. After a command, pick up the jars and jars and run, crossing mountains and ridges, and wearing stars and moon, even the four-legged horses cannot catch up.
Li Hu stayed in the mountains for several years and always claimed to be as light as a swallow. When he ran, he couldn't even catch up with the tiger. But now he didn't dare to brag anymore because he saw the families of the Black Mountain Army, men, women, young and old, carrying things weighing dozens of kilograms, and his legs were flying. Although he also took a break and gasped on the way, he immediately continued to run again. His perseverance was jaw-dropping.
Zhiniang, who are these people? They are so hard? It seems that the head is important. When the head is in danger, both men, women, young and old all put their physical strength and will to the limit. Li Hu sat on the side of the road, stretching his tongue to his breath while sighing.
Luo Sinan walked over with a large basket covered in packages, sweating profusely, "Oh, it's your turn to carry the banner."
"Didn't you see me gasping like a dog?" Li Hu glanced at her weakly, then stuck out his tongue and gasped like a dog.
Luo Sinan ignored him, left the flag on his hand, then wiped the sweat beads on his face, and said indignantly: "Are you still a man? We, the three of us, are one of us, a horse, except you, who doesn't carry things? You are the most relaxed and call the most fiercely. I think you are a dog or a big lazy dog."
Li Hu was guilty and short-sighed, and did not dare to answer the words in disappointment. Big mother, can I blame me? I just played a handful of dice, as for chopping me with a knife? If you want to chop, you should chop lighter, but you slashed the back of the knife and cut off the bones for you. Now I can still walk, even if God has eyes.
"Go away quickly, why are you still rushing?" Luo Sinan yelled angrily.
Li Hu stood up staggeringly, holding the flag and taking two steps, and cursing and complaining in his stomach. Why do you do such a big flag? I am afraid that others don’t know that I have only three soldiers in the Tiger Lieutenant Army? I think it’s not enough to be embarrassed, right? It’s too tiring to hold such a big flag in your hand. You are tortured me deliberately.
He looked up at the flag. This was the big flag sewn by Luo Sinan, which was many times more powerful than the broken flag he had pieced together. The flag was big, the fabric was good, the making was exquisite, and the pattern was exquisite. The black flag was embroidered with a roaring tiger, and the character "Li" flying dragon and phoenix danced in the middle. There was an extremely eye-catching military number "Hu Lie" on one side of the flagpole.
How much is this flag worth? It should be very valuable. If a lot of holes are shot out by a bow and arrow on the battlefield, it will be worthless and become a piece of rag. It is too wasteful. Is this girl too much private money and no place to spend it? You have no place to spend it to find me, I will help you spend it, why do you have to spend money to make a broken flag? Isn’t this just a waste?
Suddenly he had an idea and ran to Luo Sinan with a charming smile on his face, "This flag is not only majestic, but also very expensive. If it is scratched by a branch or something, it would be a pity. It hurts. I think this way, put away the flag and use it on the battlefield. Now I will use that old flag, how about it?"
"Can you use your little cleverness to study?" Luo Sinan gave him a blank look and looked at him disdainfully. "If you feel tired when holding it, then carry it."
"No, I didn't mean that..." Li Hu hurriedly defended, "I have good intentions. Look at the flag so beautiful, it's dirty and cut. What a pity. This is made with your money. If you don't feel heartbroken, I still feel heartbroken."
"If you break it, do it, I have money." Luo Sinan was unmoved. "If you have heartache, then go to heartache, but the banner must be raised, and it must be raised high..."
Li Hu was so angry that he rolled his eyes, wishing he could give her a few bastards. It’s so great to have money? One day I’ll get rich, and I’ll kill you with money.

The Heishan Army successfully fled before the Liao army surrounded him. Luo Qinghan had just let out a sigh and the scout came to report that Yelu Dashi and his cavalry caught up.
“How many roads are there from us?”
“About thirty miles.”
"How many horse soldiers are there?"
"I don't know, but judging from the flying smoke and dust, there are at least two thousand riders."
Luo Qinghan took a deep breath. Two thousand cavalry, my few thousand men were not enough for him to eat. It seemed that the Khitan dog was prepared and determined to eat me. He thought for a moment and immediately ordered Luo Zhongyuan to bring two hundred cavalry to set up roadblocks along the road, and at any cost, he delayed the pursuit speed of the enemy cavalry.
"Appoint each battalion to not hide its traces, go to the main road immediately and march quickly." Luo Qinghan ordered loudly, "Do everything you can throw away and move forward as quickly as possible."
The horns of excitement rose into the sky, and the mountains responded for a while, for a long time.

Luo Sinan looked up in horror and screamed in a low voice, "No, the Khitans are chasing you."
Li Hu's face suddenly changed, "Where is it? Where?"
"The horn is ringing, don't you hear it?" Luo Sinan quickly untied the basket and shouted at Li Hu, "Hurry up, take down everything on Xueqi's back, don't want it anymore, don't want it anymore."
Li Hu was so scared that he was panicked and hurriedly ran to Xueqi, untiing the rope in a hurry. At this time, he saw people all over the mountains and fields throwing things. When these people left the valley, they couldn't bear to leave one thing, and they carried all the jars and jars, but now they threw them away without hesitation. Then they ran quickly, gradually forming a torrent that gradually drifted down.
Li Huhun was scared away, thinking that the Khitans were coming from behind, so he hurriedly threw away the banner, followed the crowd and disappeared into the torrent in a blink of an eye.
Luo Sinan pushed off the package on the horse's back in a few seconds and flew on the horse, "Go quickly, hurry..."
There was no trace of Li Hu. He had already run away and only a big banner left behind was left.
"Bastard, thief, coward..." Luo Sinan shouted in anger, "I'm so angry... How could there be such a person in the world? I'm so angry... Ah..."

Luo Qinghan suspected that he had heard it wrong, and the strong sense of suffocation made him dizzy, and his tall body couldn't help but shake slightly.
"You... say it again."
"The Jin army captured Chengzhou, and the road to the north has been cut off." The scout showed fear in his eyes, and the sweat beads on his face rolled down like rain.
"How is this possible?" Dong Zhongsun slapped his bald head and shouted excitedly, "Chengzhou was still in the hands of the Liao army yesterday, why did the flag on the top of the city change overnight?"
Of course the scout could not answer this question, so he could only lower his head and breathe heavily.
Luo Qinghan walked back and forth with his hands on his back and forth anxiously. The thing he was most worried about was that the Black Mountain Army was trapped in front and back attacks between the Jin and Liao armies.
The fall of Chengzhou was unexpected. The only explanation was that the Jurchens knew in advance that the main force of the Liao army was encircling and suppressing the Heishan army, so they launched a raid... Chengzhou is the road north to the mountains and it is also a key pass to block the Jin people's attack on Zhongjing. The Liao army has always stationed heavy troops here. This time, in order to encircle and suppress the Heishan army, they drew some of the troops, and the number of defenders in the city was limited. Luo Qinghan learned this secret from the brothers of the resentful army, so he dared to go north boldly. He concluded that the Chengzhou army did not dare to go out of the city to block the rebel army, but the man's plan was not as good as the heaven's plan, but the Jurchens also knew this secret.
What should I do now? The road to the north was blocked by the Jin army, and the Liao army was chasing each other again, and there was no way out.
"I said that going south is the safest. You just don't listen and insist on going north..." Dong Zhongsun was angry and began to accuse Luo Qinghan of his words.
Luo Qinghan's head was about to explode, and he was still holding it back at first. After all, this news cannot be leaked for the time being, otherwise the army might explode the camp and collapse without fighting. However, the more Dong Zhongsun said it, the more excited he became, and pushed all the mistakes on Luo Qinghan's head. Luo Qinghan was furious and retorted, "Did I pat the last palm by me or you?"
Dong Zhongsun was choked and couldn't speak for a long time. After a while, he gritted his teeth and cursed: "That boy sprayed feces all over his mouth, pushing us into a desperate situation. I'm going to kill him." After saying that, he suddenly had a plan, "Didn't that boy say that Jindog won't hit us? He said so sure that he should be fully confident."
Luo Qinghan pondered and said nothing. It is one thing to talk about war on paper, and it is another thing to fight the enemy at the moment of battle. Who is sure that this Jin army will not take the opportunity to destroy us and make up for the best?
"It's absolutely not possible to look back. You can only move forward and see the situation when you arrive in Chengzhou." Dong Zhongsun scratched his head and said gloomyly, "If the Golden Dog blocks the way, he will ask that kid to meet him. He said he wants to be neighbors with the Golden Dog, so let him visit him and see if the Golden Dog is like what he said. When he heard that we were planning to surrender to the Liao army, he was immediately frightened."
Luo Qinghan was a little hesitant. Things on the battlefield were turbulent. How could he listen to a child talking about war on paper? Besides, if he was unfortunately killed by the Jin soldiers, the possibility of alliances between various rebels would be even smaller.
"There is no time, you have to make a quick decision." Dong Zhongsun urged, "There is no turning back when you open the bow, and you have to fight for it if you don't have to do it. If it really doesn't work, then forcefully break through from the direction of Chengzhou and run out one by one."
