    Volume 2 Bianliang Mistakes Chapter 23 Changes in the Script (8) The fire rose, but it was caused by the torches thrown by Dong Dalang and Zhen Liuchen falling on the tent in the camp. At this time, the tent was mostly painted  Oil is used to protect against rain and snow, which can easily catch fire. Fire protection has always been the most important issue in military camps. Generally, there are fire extinguishers and other tools for extinguishing fires, which are separated in each camp.  At this moment, who didn¡¯t know that Dong Dalang and Zhen Liuchen were desperately throwing torches during the fierce battle, just to use the flames here as a signal to summon the reinforcements lurking behind them? The battlefield at the entrance of the camp was not large and they could not move forward.  The soldiers who joined the battle group desperately picked up the fire extinguishers and swatted the ignited fires. In the old camp, the flames rose and fell, and the sounds of fighting finally alerted the surrounding camps.  At this time, we can see the difference between the Central Army of the Liaodong Refugee Army and the scattered Left Army. Although the surrounding camps were alarmed, they did not panic. Some rebels did not enter the camps.  The refugees were running around in panic, but the camps basically maintained a calm posture. However, people continued to rush up to the wall and looked towards the direction of the old camp. The flags of the old camp were not down, and the golden drums were not sounded to call for reinforcements. The camps did not move.  The elites were prepared. It was still dark, and night fighting in this era was an extremely dangerous thing. The well-trained field divisions also tried their best, not to mention these Liaodong refugees, who were stronger than the Zuo army, but were actually better than the mob.  The troops were stationed. Once they set out at night and made a little noise, they might be trampled on each other, and most of the people on the wall would huddle together and look towards the direction of the old camp, watching the fire and shouts coming from the camp gate.  Everyone was surprised by the sound of killing. The Chinese army had been quiet for so many days without even a trivial incident. What happened suddenly tonight?  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dong Dalang and Zhen Liuchen are now standing back to back on the wall at the entrance of the camp, locked in a bitter fight.  . There was also a grown man who rushed in after them, and he was considered a good fighter under Dong Dalang's command. At this time, several spears had already poked holes as big as a bowl, and his body was lying at the entrance of the village.  The dozen cavalrymen who followed them to the mixed camp wanted to rush forward to meet them, but the Diao Mao led by Xiao Yan were not vegetarians, and the reaction Jilun Feather arrows shot down most of them, and the rest were far away immediately.  Escaped far away, needless to say, they went to support the rear troops. In order not to alarm the elites of the old camp of the Chinese army where Xiao Yan was located, Dong Dalang's follow-up troops were placed far behind. After suffering so much in Xiao Yan's hands, Dong Dalang was already in danger.  He didn't dare to underestimate Xiao Yan or his men. It was difficult to communicate at night. He was waiting for his large group of people to arrive soon. He didn't know how long it would take, and he didn't know if he could hold the entrance to the camp. As soon as the fighting started, Dong Dalang and Zhen Liuchen came along.  Follow the wooden walking path inside the village wall and climb up the wall, which is only wide enough for two people.  With a small number of enemies and a large number of enemies, the most important thing is to choose a battlefield that is not convenient for the opponent to deploy his troops.  Both of them grabbed spears and knives, rushed up to the wall, swung them and killed them a few times, and they had already cleared out a small open space.  Hold your ground for now.  Although there are guards on the wall, Dong Dalang and Zhen Liuchen are both powerful generals, how can they stand up?  More men and horses from behind rushed up under the command of Zhang Xian. Zhang Xian also climbed up the wall of the village and rushed in front with a walking stick. A marten-hatted personal guard held a shield to cover his body and pushed forward desperately.  On the other side, it's also average.  Under the wall of the village, Xiao Yan's men had already formed a semicircular formation. At first, more than ten people had replaced their spears with lengthened spears, and came from below, raising their spears to poke at the wall of the village.  Behind them was a row of archers, each with a bow, staring at Dong Dalang and Zhen Liuchen, expecting a round of arrows to come.  Although he became hasty, Xiao Yan's men were all elite, and they immediately set up the best formation to surround these two warriors as soon as possible. Dong Dalang and Zhen Liuchen had already taken off the two shields hanging on the wall of the village.  Of course, the soldiers guarding the fort can use shields.  The camp is no more crenellated than the city wall. If the enemy attacks the camp, the sky will be blocked by arrows, and the guards on the camp will also need to rely on oars and shields for cover.  However, the oar shields used for defense are long, large and heavy, and are very inconvenient to operate.  But for the two big men, Dong Dalang and Zhen Liuchen, the two thick oars and shields were flying in their hands, constantly changing the angles, and firmly covering their figures. At this time, it was no longer appropriate to use short weapons.  Both of them were only holding a spear, and there were a few snatched spears placed at their feet. These spears could be replaced at any time.  Zhen Liuchen faced Zhang Xian's side, using his oar shield to protect him while stabbing Zhang Xian with his spear.  Zhang Xian held the long step spear in both hands, and from time to time he would duck out from the side of the marten hat guard who was holding a sign to protect him, and stabbed him hard one after another.  Zhen Liuchen almost?The whole body was huddled behind the oar shield, struggling to support Zhang Xianshi's powerful and heavy thrusts.  Occasionally a counterattack would always force Zhang Xian to jump back behind the oar shield.  At this moment, the enemy was outnumbered and it was not time to rush forward desperately. Zhang Xian just kept the pressure on Zhen Liuchen, so that he could only face him head-on, and his flanks could not be covered. The spearmen and archers under the wall looked down upon him.  When there is an opening, Zhen Liuchen can be brought down. But at this time, Dong Dalang's ability can be seen.  He fought a deadly battle with the left army in the first half of the night, and then ran for hundreds of miles. He killed him before it was fully dark, and suffered several wounds on his body.  But at this moment, they are still shouting for a fierce battle.  A thick oar shield in his hand was like a lamp grass, which could almost protect three sides at the same time. The soldiers who rushed towards him from the wall of the wing of the stronghold had been stabbed down by him three consecutively, and the ones who followed him subconsciously slowed down a bit.  Don't dare to push too hard.  When an arrow was fired under the village wall, he could always turn around in time to catch the arrow.  Occasionally, the spear would be swung downwards, and then he would stab the spear with a few strokes, forcing the spearman to take a few steps back.  In ancient times, generals rushed to the city first, rushed up to the city wall, fought against three sides with one man's strength, and firmly occupied the gap that opened, and supported the soldiers who followed to come up one after another. Although the defenders counterattacked like a tide, they did not give up. This is exactly  Speaking of Dong Dalang's majesty at this moment, above the village wall, at this moment, it seems that only Dong Dalang's crazy roar can be heard ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~  At that time: "I hate that my two generals, Yue and Han, are not here, otherwise you, Scarface, would have died a long time ago." He pointed slightly with his hand: "Open the camp gate and add more outside the camp."  A team of archers, see if this guy has six eyes, he can take care of everything." The camp gate had already been closed when Zhen Liuchen and Dong Dalang rushed to the wall. Upon hearing Xiao Yan's order, a group of guards immediately opened it.  People poured out of the camp gate, and there was no need to advance with spears to force a fight. Everyone drew their bows. Whenever Zhen Liuchen or Dong Dalang saw that Zhen Liuchen and Dong Dalang were unable to protect themselves, they would shoot a round of feather arrows at them. Dong Dalang was not a god after all, and he was almost exhausted after a long battle.  A little bit of protection was not enough, and he and Zhen Liuchen were both hit by three or four arrows one after another. Although they were protected by armor, the arrows did not penetrate deeply into the flesh and did not reach the vital points.  But the breath that I had been holding on for a long time also slackened.  Zhen Liuchen huddled under the shield, gritted his teeth, broke the arrow tail, and then took Zhang Xian's step.  Even though he was huddled under the shield, he was pushed by Zhang Xian's move and stumbled backward.  But I didn¡¯t expect that my fate would be to die together with Dong Dalang, a thief and a coward. I would die if I died. The eldest lady would have no relatives in this world, so what should I do?  This bastard Dong Dalang, since the whole Guo family is implicated in his hands, it is better to die with him. At that moment, Zhen Liuchen gritted his teeth and was ready to simply give up all precautions and roll down the wall of the village with Dong Dalang in his arms. Behind him, Dong Dalang  At this moment, he was laughing wildly.  He has completely fallen into a state of madness.  If the feather arrow hits, break it and fight again.  If the spear breaks, replace it with another one.  There was really no time to change, so he twisted the spear that was impaled on the wall of the village and snatched one over. Outside the camp, the faint sound of horse hooves could be heard in the distance, like thunder.  Dong Dalang's troops finally attacked here.  But it seems that there is no time to rescue them. Dong Dalang shouted loudly, like a hungry Shura ghost, which made everyone's ears buzz: "Yelu Dashi, if you don't come out, we will never see each other again. Dashi Linya, Yelu Dashi   Xiao Yan, the straight motherfucker, if you can't kill me today, I will be your gangrene attached to your bones. Even if you die, I will drag you down to this motherfucked eighteenth.  Do you dare to kill me in this hell? Can you kill me? Dashi Linya, Dashi Linya" At this moment, Dong Dalang was almost completely crazy.  Such a ferocious sight made Xiao Yan's subordinates who were approaching couldn't help but retreat. Zhen Liuchen, who was determined to die with Dong Dalang, was momentarily shocked by Dong Dalang's madness and was unable to move. Xiao Yan looked at Dong Dalang there.  He roared loudly, shook his head slightly, and muttered in a low voice: "I've driven you crazy again" At this moment, it's hard to say what the expression on Xiao Yan's face is, there may be a trace of admiration mixed in it.  This Dong Dalang is really a difficult opponent. However, if he wants to die here today, he sternly ordered: "Come forward and chop off Dong Dalang's head." Xiao Yan's subordinates are all soldiers who have experienced battles for a long time. They are on the battle formation.  , what kind of crazy things have not been seen?  Even though Dong Dalang was the most outstanding and brave person among them, he could not restrain them for long.  The temporary reluctance was just because he had a chance to win, so he spared his life a little to avoid being dragged down by Dong Dalang.  These are completely inferiorAn act of consciousness, but not fear.  Xiao Yan gave the order, and everyone roared, and immediately charged forward again.  Zhen Liuchen has given up, Dong Dalang has almost escaped from the killing, and the two of them are about to die in front of Xiao Yan. But tonight God has destined that everything directed and hosted by Xiao Yan will be out of his control.  Maybe Xiao Yan has been unruly and unruly to this thief god for too long since he traveled through time, so this thief god will set up countless difficulties and obstacles for everything Xiao Yan goes through. At this time, a loud sound was heard in the camp.  Roaring: "Who is coming to help someone?" Under the firelight, Xiao Yan turned his head sharply and saw a man on a horse charging towards him.  The man on the horse is tall, strong and powerful.  A long knife in his hand shone with a cold light under the firelight, pointing directly at Xiao Yan. Behind him, more than a dozen mink hat guards were either on horseback or on foot, chasing after them desperately. Everyone opened their mouths, only to  Shouting someone's name.  Yelu Dashi, Yelu Dashi. I don¡¯t know how, but Yelu Dashi actually escaped from the trap under strict surveillance. At this moment, Xiao Yan made a fierce oath in his heart.  Fuck you thief, if you have a wife, I will definitely let you wear ten thousand cuckolds ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Existing as a cover under the supervision and imprisonment of Xiao Yan.  Yelu Dashi is such an outstanding person, how could he not be looking for opportunities to escape from difficulties every moment?  He can listen to Xiao Yan's arrangements, he can be submissive under the supervision of Diao Maodu's personal guards, he can remain silent, eat well and sleep well every day, as if he has no other agenda in his mind.  But such outstanding heroes will never give up at any time.  In the midst of all difficulties, Xiao Yan is always waiting for a slim chance, and the same is true for Yelu Dashi.  And on the night of February 26, the fifth year of Xuanhe, this opportunity finally came to him.  Every day, Yelu Dashi went to bed early, and soon he was snoring like thunder.  But who knew that he was pretending to sleep for most of the time, not daring to open his eyes, listening intently to the footsteps of the guards of the Marten Hat City inside and outside the tent, wondering if there was any gap that could be exploited.  I have to turn over from time to time, and don't forget to interrupt my snoring when I turn over.  Occasionally, he would smack his lips and tongue in his dreams and say a few incomprehensible words in his sleep.  Occasionally, the Marten Hat guard chatted in a low voice, and when they talked about the current situation around him, it was engraved in his heart like a knife, maybe he could use it when the time came.  Anyone who can achieve great things has great perseverance. How can it be easy? Tonight, he was still pretending to sleep as usual, silently experiencing the changes around him.  It was around the third watch that I really took a nap, but I woke up before the fourth watch and continued to pay attention to everything secretly.  There was a small commotion at the entrance of the camp. The guards from the Marten Hats passed his tent and went straight to Xiao Yan's tent. Then more guards from the Marten Hats stood guard outside his tent.  After receiving the order, the four mink hat guards who remained in the tent immediately drew their sabers and guarded the four corners of the tent.  At this time, Yelu Dashi could no longer pretend to sleep.  There was such a chaos of smoke and dust outside and thunderous snoring. This was a good performance. He turned over, rubbed his eyes and pretended to look around at the situation. He sneered and said: "I am using my bare hands, but you are so important to me. At that time,  I'm flattered. But what happened? You Xiao Xuanzan is so powerful that he can't keep it in his heart. After all the planning, I just put my hands on it. Is there anything else that can happen to the Diao Mao guards?  Looking at him coldly, no one spoke.  At this moment, Zhang Xian's roar and Xiao Yan's order sounded outside the tent, followed by the shout of killing at the camp gate. The roar was clearly transmitted here: "I am Dong Dalang, Dashi Lin Yaruo."  We are in the camp. Come and meet us quickly." Dong Dalang?  Could it be that fake guy named Yaoshi Guo?  Yaoshi Guo adopted Dong Xiujiu¡¯s son and changed his name to Guo Dalang. Yelu Dashi naturally knew about this.  But later on, all these changes were completely unclear.  Yelu Dashi was under house arrest by Xiao Qian for a long time. When he regained his freedom, he encountered the Yanjing War.  After the fight, he ran away to die, and then fell into the hands of Zhen Liuchen, and continued to be someone else's prisoner.  Few people told him about the subtle twists and turns of the war in Yandi, which was the meeting with the little mute that day. The little mute was such a smart person. It was already extremely difficult for Xiao Yan to allow her to spend time with Yelu Dashi.  .  She will not reveal anything related to Xiao Yan.  Yelu Dashi really didn't know why Yaoshi Guo's fake son would suddenly appear here, shouting loudly to save him?  Yelu Dashi quickly judged the authenticity of such a sudden change in his heart.  It can be confirmed at once that in this camp under Xiao Yan's personal control, there are indeed changes happening  Alone in the midst of a rebellious army that far surpassed him, he still had to use himself as a guise to maintain all this and wait for the opportunity to come. What Xiao Yan wanted was to be quiet and unchanging.  If there is any slight disturbance, the news may be leaked. At that time, we still don¡¯t know what General Yiyu Hudi planned for Xiao Yan, although Xiao Yan never told Yelu Dashi in detail.  But Yelu Dashi, someone like Yelu Dashi, guessed Xiao Yan's intention almost completely at once.  It is nothing more than returning to the south and surrendering, with an unstable foundation, and using this method to hold the court hostage.  But Xiao Yan could play so big and hard.  Yelu Dashi still deeply admired him. This man was extraordinary. But he used so much force to do everything, which meant reaching a dead end.  If something goes wrong, all your efforts may be in vain, and there may even be dire consequences.  Xiao Yan's plan was too grand and ambitious. He really couldn't withstand a small change. How could he come up with this fake thing at the gate of the camp?  No matter how unbelievable it is, this Guo Yaoshi's pretender really came to Xiao Yan's camp to save him. Yelu Dashi's shouts drifted in, and everyone could hear them clearly.  The four mink hats in the tent were all personal guards, and their expressions became colder. Everyone had their swords out of their sheaths, and they were standing not far from Yelu Dashi. Yelu Dashi had no doubt that as long as he made the slightest move, these four swords would be destroyed.  , he would be greeted. After listening attentively for a while, Yelu Dashi's heart sank again. The sound of fighting and shouting at the camp gate was not that shocking.  It was limited to the area near the entrance of the camp. Yelu Dashi was a man who had experienced many battles. How could he not recognize the incoming people? There were only a few of them.  Except for the fighting at the door, the rest of the camp was silent. It was obvious that the situation was under control.  Why is this Guo Pharmacist so arrogant that only a few people dare to attack the camp?  I don¡¯t know how they tricked Xiao Yanying into opening the gate. Naturally, Yelu Dashi couldn¡¯t figure out what happened in the process.  What he has to do now is to make up his mind. Should he take the risk to respond to the rescue of so many people? In the meantime, how many chances do he have to escape? This is a decision that hardly requires too much consideration.  Yelu Dashi has already learned Xiao Yan's skills.  Yelu Dashi admired his courageous plan.  In the hands of such people, how could there be more opportunities?  Tonight's change is already a miracle. If he misses it, he will only be in Xiao Yan's hands and will never rise again. It's a pity that I, Yelu Dashi, am still full of ambitions and can fall into the hands of a southerner. ~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Among the four tents,  Under the pressure of the personal guards, Yelu Dashi stretched himself and sneered: "You Xiao Xuanzan are so capable, but you actually came to someone's door. It's just too bad that there were too few people. It's annoying that I couldn't be saved. But,  "Annoyed." One of the guards said coldly: "Dashi Linya, please don't make any moves. If you have an order of praise, don't blame us for offending you if Dashi Linya does something strange." Yelu Dashi chuckled: "  I can still fly to the sky. If you don't worry, I will be here, and the shackles and handcuffs will be put up again, and I will be tied to the couch. You can relax, right?  If you can find a way to connect with me, you can always discuss a sound plan, but now you have missed such an opportunity. I don¡¯t know if it will happen again.¡± The guard sneered: ¡°We must treat us as dead people, so that only those who come can have peace of mind beforehand.¡±  The chance of Shi Linya's response is slim, so there's no need to count on Dashi Linya." While he was answering Yelu Dashi, he couldn't help but look at the shackles and handcuffs stacked in the corner of the tent, as well as the strong ropes used for binding.  .  When he first joined the Fu Liao Army, except when he came out as a cover, whenever he returned to his tent, he would bring these troubles to Yelu Dashi, and he would not even take them off when sleeping.  Yelu Dashi took these with him, said nothing, and remained calm.  These days, the Fu Liao Army's center remained motionless and everything was quiet. Xiao Yan always came to see Yelu Dashi once or twice a day, and Yelu Dashi always held up his shackles and sneered at Xiao Yan.  Thinking about it, Yelu Dashi is really a hero. He has never been against Xiao Yan before, and he has the kindness to save the little mute.  Xiao Yan finally gave in and removed these for him when he fell asleep.  Tonight, there was a sudden start. The guards were only on alert as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and they forgot to handcuff Yelu Dashi again. Fortunately, Yelu Dashi mentioned it, and everyone reacted.  After looking at each other, two people immediately sheathed their swords and went to get the shackles and ropes.  Seeing their actions, Yelu Dashi just showed an annoyed look on his face.  Maybe Yelu Dashi is just too quiet and honest these days.  It is impossible to keep one's nerves tense all the time.  Now inside and outside the tent, at least a dozen or twenty mink hat guards were monitoring the big Shi Linya.  What else could he do? ?The two guards picked up the shackles and did not behave as if they were faced with a powerful enemy. They walked towards Yelu Dashi as usual, and even made a slight salute: "Dashi Linya, I am really offended. Things have happened here. Please praise the big thing."  It¡¯s done, let¡¯s buy wine and make amends with Dashi Linya¡± The two of them approached, one of them grabbed Yelu Dashi¡¯s hand, and saw Yelu Dashi suddenly rolled his eyes and said coldly: ¡°Someone is here, your family  Will the big thing of announcing the praise be accomplished? " In the cold words, Yelu Dashi exerted force, and the two guards who grabbed his arms and were about to put shackles on him collided hard with Yelu Dashi.  He grabbed the handcuffs that caught the two of them, grabbed one of them with one hand, and punched out hard. The shackles were like an iron fist glove, hitting the face of one of the guards who collided with each other. Amidst the screams,  The guard had already fallen backwards, and Yelu Dashi's other hand had already snatched the saber from the other man's waist. The man also jumped up, taking advantage of the opening of the punch, and rushed straight out of the tent.  Narrow, difficult to dodge.  Yelu Dashi was not wearing any armor, and he had no doubt that even if the remaining guards tried to get hit by him twice, they would still trade their lives to keep him.  His only chance was to seize the short moment when everyone was shocked and rush out of the tent. At this moment, Yelu Dashi had already used all his accumulated energy, and like lightning, he rushed out of the tent from the two relatives who were blocked near the tent door.  The guards squeezed past, and one of them subconsciously swung his knife, which only left a deep bloody gash on his back.  Yelu Dashi had already rushed out of the tent regardless, and the dozen or so guards who were on duty outside in several levels were also stunned.  This change was really hasty, and Yelu Dashi had been quieter and more honest during this period, and he was waiting for this moment. Outside the tent, several guards were already mounted on the outermost layer.  They kept looking towards the camp entrance.  The fighting at the camp gate is still going on. If there are still enemies coming, they may have to rush to help.  At this time, when they heard a noise in the tent, they all turned around in surprise.  They saw Yelu Dashi's figure like lightning, rushing towards them. Only then did the guards along the way react. They unsheathed their swords and rushed towards Yelu Dashi's figure with all their strength.  But Yelu Dashi no longer cares about the situation behind him.  He rushed to the horse of a bodyguard, and the bodyguard subconsciously drew his sword and slashed at him.  Yelu Dashi blocked the sword with his sword. This time he had exhausted all his strength and swung the guard's sword away in an instant. In an instant, he had thrown the knife away. He grabbed one of the guard's feet with both hands and forcefully swung it away.  Pull, he has been knocked off his horse.  At this time, all the guards from behind were chasing after him. Some of them were wielders of weapons, and they had already handed a spear to Yelu Dashi.  Yelu Dashi just moved out of the way slightly, and the blow hit him on his left shoulder, but he didn't even sway.  As soon as he beat the horse, the horse had already galloped out.  Yelu Dashi caught up two steps, stretched out his hand and slapped the saddle hard, and got on the horse. Yelu Dashi had already listened carefully to the movements outside and the distribution of the guards.  After repeatedly calculating how to act, I could have a 30% chance of rushing out.  Although there was no doubt that he was taking risks, the worst thing he could do was lose his life.  Rather than being a prisoner of Xiao Yan's class all the time, what can he do if he takes a risk?  This is not a death without any chance. Tonight, I don¡¯t know whether he is too lucky or whether Xiao Yan is really unlucky.  He actually allowed him to take a risk and succeed, and rushed out. Yelu Dashi was riding a horse, with horseshoes behind him, and he didn't know how many people were chasing after him.  There were even more torches in front of him, and hundreds of Xiao Yan's men and horses were fighting around the two figures on the wall.  Yelu Dashi also had several wounds on his body, and the wound caused by the huge gun on his left shoulder was so painful that he could not lift his left hand at all.  In the light of the fire, Xiao Yan was right in front, with several personal guards guarding him. He turned to look at Yelu Dashi.  Even if he rushed out of the tent, the chance of fighting his way out of the camp and finally escaping was still extremely slim. Even so, Yelu Dashi still felt that blood was filling his chest. At this moment, he was no longer Xiao Yan's subordinate.  Prisoner, life or death, your destiny is in your own hands.  This is not what a man strives for when he is alive. There is a long knife hanging on the side of the saddle of this war horse. Yelu Dashi used his legs to control the horse. His right hand that could still move had already pulled out the long knife and pointed it straight at Xiao Yan.  The roar was like thunder: "Who came to help me?" Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan, you must not let Mr. Yelu Dashi escape from death, otherwise you cannot afford the consequences bk
