The angry villagers tore Zhang Shuo to pieces and finally threw the wreckage of his body into the burning house and turned into ashes.

After venting, the villagers turned around and bowed deeply to Bai Ba and the others. A strong man stepped forward and said, "Thank you for your help. I wonder if you are horse thieves on Luer Ridge?"

Bai Ba shook his head and said, "We are not horse thieves, we are the Bai family's army."

The strong villagers looked up at Bai Ba. They didn't know what the Bai family army was, but they knew that the group of people had lost half of the lives of the villagers.

These villagers are not stupid. They know that when Zhao's army discovered the situation here, they would slaughter the small village, and I'm afraid no one would be spared. Now they seem to have hope of survival only by following Bai Ba.

"I'm laughing at the hero, but we thought you were horse thieves." The strong man bowed and continued, "Please take people away quickly. The Zhao army will come to seek revenge. Don't implicate your benefactors."

Bai Ba raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I won't interfere if I'm afraid they will seek revenge. Since I'm involved, I have to take care of this matter to the end. This is the style of a real man. What are your plans?"

Seeing that Bai Ba was generous, the strong man did not hide it. He bowed to Bai Ba and said, "My benefactor asked, we don't hide it. We want to take the rest of the village to Luerling and find the horse thieves to join the gang."

After a pause, the strong man said, "If the benefactor does not care about our burdens, following the benefactor is the best choice."

Bai Ba looked surprised. This strong man talked very well, not like a farmer who worked in the farm. He couldn't help but pay more attention and pondered: "I do have the intention to take you away, but we are going to a more dangerous place, and I'm afraid it's not suitable for you for the time being!"

"Benefather Gao Yi, villain thanks the guest." The strong man who claimed to be thanking him immediately knelt on the ground. The villagers behind him were kneeling on the ground, and some women were still crying. After all, they were reluctant to leave the place they had to say goodbye to for many years or even after they had been born. Some people's relatives and children died tragically in the fired houses, and they were very nostalgic.

"All up, Luerling is not far ahead. If nothing unexpected happens, I can take you to escape there." Bai Ba helped up the strong man and said to the villagers.

Xie Ke bowed his hand and said, "If the general doesn't dislike him, I am not afraid of death. I am willing to follow the general and go through fire and water, and I will never refuse."

Bai Ba looked at the villagers and nodded heavily.

Everyone was hustling, looking at Bai Ba and others gratefully, treating them as heroes who saved the world.

"Report." A loud voice came, and a soldier wearing a black soft jacket ran from behind and knelt in front of Bai Ba and shouted: "Report Emperor... Master, I found a brigade of Zhao's army three miles away, with about 3,000 people."

"We came so quickly. It seems that the guys who escaped reported the news." Bai Ba murmured in his heart and said loudly: "Let the people retreat to the village, we will resist on the outside, and try to avoid the villagers fighting with the Zhao army."

"No!" The strong man who called Xie Ke stepped forward again and said loudly: "Since we have decided to follow the general, there is absolutely no reason to retreat." Behind him, all the villagers picked up the weapons of the Zhao State's dead soldiers. Although there was fear in their eyes, none of them retreated.

Bai Ba knew in his heart that although his government army had strong combat power, he had just passed a battle of defeating the more with less and exhausted his physical strength. If he faced these three thousand people, it would be difficult to escape unscathed. He made a quick decision and under his command, everyone quickly retreated into the dead woods of Luerling.

Just as everyone had just entered the range of the Dead Woods of Luerling and before Bai Ba and others had entered the rear, the vanguard of the Zhao army had already discovered this group of troops.

Several scouts also found the Zhao soldiers at the entrance of Hengzi Village and identified it as Zhang Shu's troops. They immediately reported the situation to Deng Tu, the leader of the Zhao army.

The master immediately ordered to pursue Bai Ba and others in front of him.

Although they saw them retreating into the dead woods of Luer Ridge, Deng Tu saw clearly that Bai Ba and the others had few people, and immediately ordered the army to pursue quickly and intercept the group of thieves in front of him at the foot of Luer Ridge.

The Zhao army was almost all cavalry, and soon rushed to the dead woods under Luer Ridge like a whirlwind. The general waved his hand and left five hundred people to guard the horses, while the rest immediately chased into the dead woods.

Bai Ba and his friends led the villagers to move slowly in the woods. In addition, the villagers did not know how to cover up the traces, so they were soon found the right direction by the Zhao army and gradually caught up with them.

"Disperse and fight with each other." Bai Ba led the people who were broken behind and immediately scattered in various parts of the woods. Only in this way can it be possible to break through.

Soon, the Zhao army of 2,500 people appeared in front of Bai Ba and others.

The Bai family's army installed all the crossbow arrows in their hands with arrows. They immediately opened the bow and shot the arrow when they entered the precise shooting distance.

At just fifty feet, Bai Ba waved his hand decisively, and the crossbow arrow roared past the woods, directly nailing some soldiers of Zhao to the tree pole behind him.

"Be careful, there is an ambush." ​​The leader of Zhao State shouted that the first one was hiding behind the big tree.

When he found that the arrows shot by the other party were not very dense, but he killed more than a dozen of them, he shouted loudly because of the large number of people and power: "There are not many thieves, so I will give them a gift."

With the order from the side generals, the Zhao army immediately shouted and rushed forward. They had already suffered too many defeats this day, and they wanted to take advantage of the large number of people and force to eliminate the thieves in front of them to ask for rewards.

Under the leadership of the side general, Zhao army shot out the first round of arrow rain. Several unlucky Bai family troops could not dodge and were nailed to death in the dead woods of Luer Ridge.

"Kill!" The Bai family's army was all related to their relatives. Once there was a killing, they immediately touched their chains of affection. As the first person rushed out desperately, more and more scattered army gathered to kill Zhao's army.

The two sides fought each other in close combat. The Bai family's army relied on its momentum to compete with the Zhao army, which was crowded and powerful. However, they all felt that their physical strength had declined, and they would definitely be overwhelmed by the number of Zhao soldiers in a while.

"There are less than a thousand of them, and they will kill them and go back to receive the reward." Deng Tu roared with a grim smile.

Amid his roar, all the soldiers of Zhao rushed forward bravely, as if they finally saw a soft persimmon that could be kneaded at will.

"It's paralyzed, it seems that it's going to hang in this jungle." Bai Ba cut over a soldier in Zhao, and his hand holding the sword was already trembling.

Just when the Baijiafu army could hardly hold on and there were already minor casualties, the sound of the horse team came from outside Luerling again.

"Is General Bai Ba in the forest ahead?" a man shouted loudly.

Almost at the same time, countless cavalrymen under the flag of Zhao rushed into the place where the two groups of people were fighting, regardless of the high mountains and dense forests.

Their strange coming was that they did not participate in the war, but separated the people who were fighting between the two sides.

Just when Deng Tu and Bai Ba were both surprised, a red-robed general rushed into the dead woods in winter, holding a box wrapped in bright yellow silk cloth in his hand and shouted: "Deng Tu retreats, General Bai Ba hears the seal!"

Everyone was stunned. Deng Tu, who had originally captured the horse thief, was even more at a loss. However, the people came were all elite cavalry. It seemed that there were about 5,000 people inside and outside the dead woods. Deng Tu was very concerned about questioning but did not dare to act rashly.

"A certain family is now entrenched in Luerling, who will tell me about the seal?" Bai Ba asked with his eyebrows raised.

After confirming that the person who answered in front of him was Bai Ba, he turned over and fell off the horse. He took out a roll of bamboo slips from behind and handed them forward together with the bright yellow silk box and said, "General Chen Yu recommended the general to King Zhao as the vanguard of the national military and horse general. Please take a look."

"King Zhao?" Bai Ba looked at the red-robed general coldly and sneered: "The moment I returned to Xindu, I didn't plan to serve the idiot of King Zhao."

The red-robed general was stunned. The cavalry behind him showed coldness on his face, and the weapons in his hand were slightly raised.

Deng Tu was even more happy that Bai Ba refused to surrender. He waved his hand and shouted, "Kill these rebels who betrayed King Zhao for me."
