Liu Dalang turned around and looked at the densely packed Jin soldiers. He gritted his teeth and said, “Let’s split up. Try to minimize the casualties”
“General Liu, let’s fight to the death with the Jin soldiers.”
The soldiers following Liu Dalang were indignant. They chased after the enemy, but they did not expect to be tricked by the Jin soldiers. They had no advantage in terms of numbers. This was a situation where they would definitely lose.
Liu Dalang endured the pain in his back and gritted his teeth. “If we don’t return in time, General Chou will definitely send reinforcements. As long as we hold on, it’s not certain who will die in the end. Listen to me, everyone, split up.”
With the sudden disappearance of the cavalry, the advantage of the Jin army was gone. It was still uncertain who would win.
Liu Dalang’s rank was higher than the soldiers, so the soldiers naturally listened to him.
Looking at the wounded and tired soldiers, Liu Dalang did not hesitate anymore. His face darkened and he said solemnly, “This mountain is very big. After splitting up, go and find covers.”
The soldiers did not hesitate and immediately split up.
When the Jin soldiers saw that they split up, some were still chasing, and some could no longer catch up. It was no longer possible to kill all these hundreds of people.
The dense forest was a natural barrier.
The land where the Jin soldiers lived was mostly flat and wide. They were at a disadvantage when they entered the forest.
“General, these Xia Dynasty soldiers are too cunning. What should we do?”
The Jin soldier in black armor asked the general.
“Chase after the enemy’s general and bring back his head.”
Zhang Qiang thought for a moment and felt that what Xu Dong said made sense, so he carried Liu Dalang and walked in another direction with Xu Dong.
However, before they could walk far, they heard someone calling. “Uncles.”
Zhang Qiang and Xu Dong were a little nervous. They turned around and saw four children. The eldest was a boy, about thirteen or fourteen years old. The youngest seemed to be only five or six years old. They looked at them timidly.
Xu Dong frowned. “Are you from this village?”
The big boy in the lead nodded. “Yes, that’s our home.”
Zhang Qiang said, “Don’t go back. Hide somewhere else. Don’t follow us. It’s dangerous.”
“Uncles, he’s seriously injured and needs to rest. If you keep running, there will be a time when you’re exhausted. We have a place to hide. Come with us.”
The big boy looked at Xu Dong and Zhang Qiang. After saying that calmly, he pulled his companions forward to lead the way.
They had a place to hide, but they would come home from time to time. When they heard the conversation between Zhang Qiang and Xu Dong, they wanted to help them.
The Jin soldiers were ferocious, and the commoners died miserably, but the soldiers of Xia Dynasty were also dying.
Looking at the thin children, the two of them knew that these children were probably the only ones alive in this village.
Zhang Qiang looked at Xu Dong and said, “Are we following or not?”
Xu Dong gritted his teeth. “They’re familiar with this place. Also, General is seriously injured. It’s difficult for us to find a way out.”
There was no time to consider or hesitate. If they were really found by the Jin soldiers, they would use their lives to protect these children.
The big boy in the lead quickly entered the path by the road and led the way. The path was steep and one could barely see the way.
In the end, they went down to the edge of a cliff. After Zhang Qiang and Xu Dong struggled to get Liu Dalang down, they found an empty cave under the cliff. It was not big. This place was difficult to find, so it was temporarily safe..
