Just when Liu Xie was still wondering whether Yang Ding and Zhang Xiu rebelled, the news from the cavalry reported by the Pegasus had already scared everyone.

Li Jue's army is chasing him!

For Emperor Liu Xie, this news is so terrifying that Yang Ding and Zhang Xiu rebelled.

Yang Ding, Zhang Xiu rebelled, and Song Guo, Dong Cheng, Fu Wan and others led their troops to pacify. Even if they couldn't be pacified, at worst, their carriage would be carried back to Zuo Fengyi to defend the enemy.

But if Li Jue's army catches up, it will be different.

He had already announced the world that he had denounced Li Jue as a traitor. During this period, he issued several edicts to kill many Li family members and Li Jue's gang members. The emperor and Li Jue were already in a state of dying.

This time, unlike the pursuers who have been repelled by the generals in the past few days, they are not only Li Jue's vanguard, but also Li Jue's main army.

Some people in the army said that Li Jue's main army was only 20,000 to 30,000, and some said that Li Jue's army was 40,000 to 50,000. Some rumors said that Li Jue had all raised Fufeng's troops, and with the Qiang and Hu tribes that were attached, there were 100,000 troops.

Whether it is true or false, this time, there is indeed a tendency to collapse and crack.

Song Guo and Zhang Xiu in the rear were already leading their troops to fight with the pursuers, while Dong Cheng and Yang Ding who were leading the way in front also returned to the army to support him. Only Zhi Jinwu Fuwan also brought a group of troops to protect the emperor's court officials, wanting to continue to flee east and leave the battlefield behind.

However, the people, men, horses and vehicles of Guizhou who were running forward caused the road to be crowded and blocked. Although there were soldiers leading the way, it still greatly restricted the speed of the emperor's carriage. Liu Xie, who was walking slower and slower, even heard the fierce fighting of the people and horses behind him, and even the sound of defeat of the people and horses sobbing and wailing.

Could it be that the generals in the army have been defeated?

The young emperor, who was running away, poked his head out of the car window in panic, looked back at the chaotic and crowded team, and thought restlessly.

···

On the rear battlefield.

Indeed, the generals in the army were defeated and were almost at the sight of a mountain of defeat.

Song Guo, who led his army to resist the pursuers in the rear, Zhang Xiu's army had been dispersed by Li Jue's army. Song Guo, whose personal soldiers were killed, was poked off his horse with a spear by a group of rioters. After falling off the horse, he struggled to resist. After a moment, he was cut off his head by the rioters, and then hung it on the spear, announcing to the army that was approaching collapse:

"Song Guo is dead!"

Affected by the death of the general, Song Guo's troops were accelerating and collapsing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Another rear general Zhang Xiu fought hard to kill the siege with his own bravery, but he was not much better. He was covered in heavy armor and was covered with arrows, like a wounded and bleeding hedgehog. There were only a dozen cavalry following him out of the siege, and more cavalry were still trapped in the enemy formation.

The entire army of the army, which was defeated.

Yang Ding and Dong Cheng, who led their troops from the front, barely resisted the offensive of Li Jue's army, but in the same way, they also caused their troops to fall into a siege.

They did not expect that Li Jue's army would come so quickly, and that Song Guo and Zhang Xiu's troops would be defeated so quickly.

Before they could even react, they had already seen Song Guo's head raised high by the soldiers under Li Jue.

Yang Ding and Dong Cheng's troops fell into a tough battle.

On Li Jue's side, there were people riding one after another, and they crossed Yang Ding and Dong Cheng who were deeply trapped in the siege and continued to go east to pursue the emperor's carriage.

The entire battlefield has evolved into the Shura Field that stretches for more than ten miles.

Along the way, either the corrupt corpses trampled to death or the headless body that was cut off by Li Jue's pursuers. Regardless of their highness and lowness, they fled one after another. Various supplies, vehicles, weapons, armor, books, and golden drums and flags were thrown all over the ground. The sound of horse hooves rumbling behind them were nightmares for everyone to escape from the fear of being out of reach.

The emperor's car could not escape.

The light cavalry in Li Jue's army saw the golden chariot of Jinhua Qinggai and Zhu Ban Chongya, and rushed over like a wolf with a prey. Fu Wan, who was protecting the troops, rushed back one after another, and the number of enemies was increasing, which made Fu Wan's soldiers less and less.

The current situation is very close to the breath of death.

As a last resort, Fu Wan had to take the emperor's car to the nearest hill. With the high-level momentum and the remaining soldiers, he barely repelled the two groups of pursuers who caught up.

However, the officials had been dispersed and there were few people who could follow the emperor. Fu Wan had few soldiers and horses. The repelled Li Jue pursuers were like hungry wolves, unwilling to surround the small hill where the emperor was, standing under the hill, shouting and provoking unceasingly.

Now I want to escape, but I can't escape.

Because the golden car where Liu Xie was located became a prey for pursuing soldiers to chase, many arrows were inserted into the carriage. For the sake of the emperor's safety, Fu Wan had to help the young emperor out of the carriage and let him hide behind the carriage.

"Your Majesty, for the sake of this plan, you can only change your clothes and wait for me to lead my army down the mountain to rush to fight, and carry one or two followers and choose a way to escape. Perhaps there will be a glimmer of hope."

Fu Wan, who had loosened his hair and disheveled hair, looked at the young emperor and said with an extremely tragic expression.

Although he didn't know whether he could escape by pretending to be free, he should know that Li Jue's pursuers treated fugitives, but regardless of their high or low, they would be killed. However, this is also the only seemingly feasible way to survive.

"But how could I abandon the court officials in the harem and my beloved ministers in order to escape. I was young when I was forced to escape from Beigong to Xiaopingjin by Zhao Zhong. Later, I was forced to escape from Luoyang to Chang'an under the power of Dong Zhuo. Now I was chased by Li Jue and escaped from Chang'an. I ascended the throne. I have been fled in panic for several years, but I have been ineffective in the country. Today I will abandon my people and flee to Xiaopingjin. Even if I have escaped my life, what face will I have to meet the previous emperors of all generations in the future, and what face will I have to meet the world again?"

Speaking of this, Liu Xie, who had been shrouded in the shadow of coercion and death, finally made a difficult decision. He pulled out the heavy emperor's sword, not only to Fu Wan, but also to the remaining officials, and the soldiers shouted:

"So today, I vow to live and die with the two and three sons!"

In the past, in order to leave a mature and calm impression on his subjects, Liu Xie deliberately maintained the mysterious and noble pressure of the emperor. How could he make a young man's childish voice like today, shouting in a loud voice, and exuding a desperate and courageous spirit.

"I, I will protect Your Majesty's conscience even if I die!"

Fu Wan didn't expect that the young emperor who had always obeyed the opinions of the ministers and did not make decisions without authorization actually gave his first dedication to live and die with everyone here. He was immediately moved and burst into tears and bowed to the ground.

The official who heard the call of the young emperor was even more excited, bowed and followed Fu Wan and said loudly:

"I, I will protect Your Majesty's conscience even if I die!"

There was no way to escape on the hill, but the solemn momentum of fighting to the death, and the shouts of the same voice not only infected the morale of one side, but also shocked the pursuit of Li Jue under the hill.

Frightened by this momentum, the pursuers under the hills were reluctant to launch a back attack. Instead, they strengthened their encirclement of the hills where the emperor was, and sent people to report the situation to the chief general of the army, Li Jue.

As time went by, more and more Li Jue's soldiers gathered under the hills, stacked and densely packed. When they arrived at the back, even the chief general Li Jue came here with his troops.

Seeing more and more pursuers gathering at the foot of the mountain, Liu Xie's aura of refusing to surrender at the beginning was slowly being wiped out. He held the long sword of the emperor, but his two trembled unconsciously.

I wonder if Li Jue can forgive himself?

Liu Xie's momentum was declining, and even unrealistic delusions arose. Li Jue's delay in launching an attack created an illusion for everyone on the hill who wanted to fight to the death.

If the enemy has been slow to attack, will he let him go?

When people are at the critical moment of life and death, they know that they are lying to themselves, but they still can't help but continue to lying to themselves.

After all, who can really be regarded as dead?

Fu Wan saw the change of momentum in his eyes. He quietly moved his body, covered the trembling two trembling thighs with his body, and sighed silently in his heart.

After all, he is still a teenager!

Liu Xie did not know the sigh that Fu Wan was beside him in his heart, because Li Jue had not launched an attack for a long time, and the momentum of his willingness to surrender had been reduced again and again, weakening to a low point, but his heart, which had begun to become messy, had not yet noticed it.

Liu Xie, whose thoughts became complicated, not only had the absurd idea that Li Jue would bypass him, but also looked at the battlefield in the distance, but he even had a fantasy that his side could reverse the situation and defeat Li Jue's army.

But in reality, Song Guo and Zhang Xiu's army had already collapsed, and Yang Ding and Dong Cheng's troops were surrounded. Although they were struggling to support them, their destruction was just a matter of the length of time.

Within the range that he could see with his naked eyes, Li Jue was scattered everywhere to pursue officials, soldiers, people, and slaves, and pursued soldiers. The road was in a mess, and the imperial items and precious weapons of the palace were scattered on the road, becoming the spoils that Li Jue's soldiers scrambled to grab.

How great would it be if there could be a large army suddenly descending from the sky and come to rescue myself at this time!

Because Li Jue suspended the attack, Liu Xie, who had a little rest, was trapped in the fantasy of foreign troops rushing for help after Li Jue let him go and defeated Li Jue.

The originally rainbow-like fighting spirit on the hills was getting lower and lower, and all of this was under the control of Li Jue, who had been paying attention to under the hills.

Under the hill, Li Jue set up a shed with his hands, looked up at the mountain, and smiled coldly. In his opinion, the words and deeds of the young emperor who had just inspired his soldiers to fight to the death were as clumsy and ridiculous as the tricks used by children to deal with adults.
