Li Qianshun was somewhat relieved that he hadn't chosen to engage in a decisive battle with the Liang army.
As soon as this kind of firearm comes out...
The Western Xia soldiers were bound to be thrown into chaos.
The only possible outcome is defeat.
Li Qianshun no longer cared about the troops in his camp.
They spurred their horses and fled westward.
They fled for over ten miles in one go.
There were no more pursuers behind them.
"Kill!"
I just breathed a sigh of relief.
But then they heard another great shout of battle ahead.
An army emerged from the darkness.
Chapter 1857 The Ruler of a Nation
Li Qianshun also dared not engage in battle.
He turned his horse and fled to the side.
"Where are you going?"
Hua Rong, who was leading the way, had already spotted Li Qianshun in his gleaming armor.
At this point, he could no longer care about the thoroughbred horse that Li Qianshun was riding.
Draw the bow and nock the arrow.
He watched as Li Qianshun's steed, a thousand li horse, was shot with an arrow.
Li Qianshun's personal guards saw Hua Rong release an arrow.
They thought Hua Rong was going to shoot the king.
He hurriedly turned the horse around.
Block Li Qianshun in front of them.
Then they realized that Hua Rong had shot at a warhorse.
Hua Rong fired several arrows in succession.
They were all blocked by Li Qianshun's personal guards.
Although several guards' warhorses were shot down
But Li Qianshun led his men to continue their escape into the darkness.
How could Hua Rong be willing to let the cooked duck slip through his fingers?
They led their troops in hot pursuit.
The general following closely behind Li Qianshun saw that there was no way to escape.
He immediately gritted his teeth and said to Li Qianshun.
"The king is taking a few people with him,"
"This humble general will lead the troops to stop the people behind."
Li Qianshun glanced back at the general.
He nodded and said, "Take care, General."
The general received Li Qianshun's guarantee,
He immediately turned his horse and made a small circle.
What follows is yet to come.
"kill."
Hua Rong noticed that the leader had disappeared.
How could they not know that those left behind were guards?
With a loud shout, he thrust his spear forward.
The enemy general was not to be outdone.
He drew his sword and began fighting with Hua Rong.
However, five combinations,
Hua Rong shouted.
He then stabbed the barbarian general off his horse with a single spear thrust.
Hua Rong dispatched 5,000 men to annihilate this Western Xia army.
He led the rest of the group to continue the chase.
Unfortunately, it was blocked by a barbarian general.
Li Qianshun has disappeared without a trace.
Then, the sounds of fighting erupted again.
We couldn't hear the sound of horses' hooves ahead either.
Hua Rong had no choice but to split his forces and pursue the pursuer.
Li Qianshun led a few guards and ran for several miles.
They heard the pursuers behind them suddenly scatter.
They came chasing after us in droves.
They didn't care about the direction anymore.
The only option is to run forward.
"Whoosh!"
While Li Qianshun was fleeing for his life in a panic
But then they heard the sound of flowing water ahead.
Oh no, we've been driven to the water's edge.
There is a large river to the south of the Western Xia camp.
It flows from west to east.
The King of Liang led a large army from the north.
The Liupanshan Pass to the east was blocked by the Deshun Army.
Only the western prefectures were either conquered by the Western Xia or surrendered to the Western Xia by the Qiang people within their territory.
It was garrisoned by Western Xia troops.
Therefore, Li Qianshun planned to flee to the western prefecture.
Then they returned to Western Xia.
I just didn't expect to be chased by such a large army.
They went in the wrong direction.
They ran to the riverbank in the south.
as predicted,
They hadn't run very far.
Then they arrived at the riverbank.
The river surface was several meters wide.
Li Qianshun, who couldn't swim, couldn't cross on horseback.
The only option was to run westward along the riverbank.
Suddenly, a guard pointed to the river.
"Your Majesty, there is a boat on the river."
Li Qianshun looked over.
Sure enough, there was a small boat on the river.
A lamp was hanging from the bow of the boat.
Li Qianshun asked doubtfully,
"Why would anyone still be sailing at this time?"
The guard said, "Those who smuggle salt or engage in other businesses that are prohibited by the government often cross the border at night."
Li Qianshun also thought it made sense.
They heard that the pursuers were surging towards the river in overwhelming numbers.
There was no time to worry about anything else.
He hurriedly signaled to his guards to shout.
One of the guards, who could speak Chinese, immediately shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Ferryman, ferry us across the river,"
"I'll give you more money for the journey."
The boatmen on the river seemed to have heard the guards' shouts as well.
The boat stopped in the river.
The guards saw it,
He shouted in a panic,
“Ferry us across,”
"You won't need to do business anymore."
The boatman seemed to be persuaded as well.
They moved closer.
Upon arriving,
A tall, muscular man stood at the bow of the boat.
Thick eyebrows, big eyes, and ruddy skin.
Two tall men were rowing behind them.
He doesn't look like someone who does honest business.
Li Qianshun heard that the pursuers were getting close.
He didn't even bother to speak.
In a panic, they abandoned their horses and boarded the ship.
They urged the boatman to cross the river.
We just reached the center of the river.
Hua Rong then chased after him to the riverbank and hurriedly called out.
"Are the people on the boat Han Chinese?"
"You rescued the ruler of Western Xia,"
"Hurry up and shake it over here."
