Several guards jumped off their horses and went to look for dry firewood and hay nearby.
Soon, each of them carried a bundle of dry firewood or hay and ran to the bridge head to pile it up.
One of the guards squatted down and lit the hay with a fire stick.
The hay burst into flames and burned very quickly.
A raging fire quickly broke out, and the wood spread on the bridge quickly burned.
At this time, some Eastern Roman cavalry on horseback had been chasing from across the bridge.
Seeing that those people were wearing chain armor, they should be the defenders of the castle.
Zhang Huchen said: "Sir, they are chasing them, we will leave immediately."
Zhao Ziliang said: "We can't leave now, the bridge has not been burned yet.
If we leave now, they will put out the fire soon, and then there will be more cavalry chasing us.
We will stay here as long as they dare to charge."
Come here, let’s greet each other with bows and arrows, and kill each one.”
"Yes" everyone agreed, took out their bows and arrows, and lined up their horses in two rows, ready with their bows and arrows ready.

The Eastern Roman cavalry who chased them out of the castle did not know at first that Zhao Ziliang and others had piled dry firewood at the head of the bridge and were preparing to light a fire.
When they chased them on horseback to the middle of the bridge, they discovered that a fire was burning on the opposite side.
At this time, the fire was not big. , they wanted to retreat but were unwilling to do so.
Some of the cavalry at the front took the lead and rushed forward, trying to rush through the fire before the fire became completely bigger.
Waiting for the Eastern Roman cavalry are sharp arrows.
Each of these sharp arrows can be shot very accurately.
These Western Qin Dragon Guard soldiers are the best of the best from the standing army, both in terms of combat skills and arrows.
They are all outstanding in martial arts and riding and archery skills.
Every time these people shoot an arrow, they are all outstanding.
Failure, within the range of the bow and arrow, the wooden bridge was quickly covered with corpses.
The horse that lost its owner was afraid of the fire that had completely burned in front and did not dare to continue forward.
He wanted to turn around but was blocked by the cavalry behind him.
Therefore, a large wave of pursuers were blocked on the bridge, unable to advance or retreat.
Seeing this, Zhao Ziliang put away his bow and arrows and waved, "Let's go."
Liang Zhenwu, Zhang Huchen and more than 20 Dragon Guard guards put away their bows and arrows, turned around and galloped towards the north.
Zhao Ziliang shouted to the guide Felice who was running behind: "Felice, which direction are we going?"
" Phyllis saw that Liang Zhenwu, Zhang Huchen and others were extremely respectful to Zhao Ziliang, and guessed that he was a big shot, so he replied: "Sir, let's go north along the Densa River and follow the river.
We will not be short of water, even if After we have finished our food, we can also find local people on the river bank to buy food.
There are many nomadic tribes herding horses and sheep by the river.
We can also buy meat, and some towns are built along the river.

We can supplement other livelihoods.
"Materials" Zhao Ziliang laughed when he heard this and said: "Phyllis is indeed an experienced guide.
Although the hiring fee is a bit higher, I think it is worth it.
This is for you, then" A black object flew out of Zhao Ziliang's hand.
Phyllis had quick eyesight and quick hands.
He took it and squeezed it.
He was overjoyed and knew that the little black bag contained gold coins.
He immediately put it in his arms and shouted.
He said: "Thank you, sir, you are such a generous person."
"You deserve this" Adrianople.
A dozen people wearing white or black robes rode horses and approached the castle from the east gate.
This group of people was composed of church priests, church knights, magicians, and wizards.
Each of these people were old monsters.
I don’t know how many years he has lived, but one of them is Agulius, who had fought with Zhao Ziliang at the Qin’s Trading Company office.
Among these people, Agulius was obviously the leader.
As soon as they entered the castle, Agulius and others saw many wounded soldiers being carried away from the center of the castle on the street.
These wounded soldiers were either severely injured or missing arms and legs, and they were all wailing and screaming.
Upon seeing this, Agulus said to a dozen other old monsters: "It seems that they have rushed out of Adrianople.
We are a step too late.
Let's go over and see those wounded soldiers."
The crowd rode towards the soldiers with corpses and a wounded soldier on crutches.
An old guy wearing church clothes and armor stepped forward to stop them and shouted: "Stop" When the leading officer saw that it was a church knight, he did not dare to neglect him and saluted quickly: "Sir Knight, what can I do for you?"
The church knight asked: "What happened?"
The officer respectfully replied: "Sir, it was a group of Easterners who did it.
There are about twenty people.
They should be from the Western Qin Dynasty.
They wear the same chain armor as us."
Agurius stepped forward on horseback and asked: "When we entered the city just now, we saw no traces of battle on the city gate.
Did the battle start inside the castle?"
The officer looked at Agurius, who was covered in white robes, and guessed that this old guy was probably a big shot.
He immediately did not dare to neglect and said: "Yes, sir, I don't know how they sneaked into the castle.
They are dressed like We have the same chain armor.
After pulling down the mask, we can't recognize them as Orientals.
They actually attacked the prison and at the same time In the central tower, General Crixus was held hostage.
After receiving the news, we immediately rushed over and surrounded them.
Then General Redros shot and killed the kidnapped General Crixus with a bow and arrow.
The Easterners saw that the hostages were dead.
Immediately force a breakout.
Those people are so powerful that we can't stop them at all.
They also killed many of us during the breakout process."
The old church knight jumped off his horse and walked over to a corpse to check the wounds of the deceased.
Then he checked the wounds of other lost and injured soldiers.
Agurius walked over and asked: "How do you find anything?"
" The old church knight said to Agulius and other old guys: "These dead soldiers and wounds were caused by physical attacks from weapons, and no residual energy was found on the wounds."
Agurius asked thoughtfully: "That means that person did not take action, or that he did but did not use the magic of Eastern practitioners."

The old church knight nodded and said: "Yes, at least that's what I think."
Another wizard wearing a black robe asked: "Agulus, according to the news we got, they are going to the Bulgar Khanate.
Should we rush ahead and wait for them on their only way?"
Agurius couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, and said to all the old guys: "Everyone, it's not that I am afraid of death.
To tell you the truth, I am seriously injured now.
I and eight other old guys were in front of me.
God has already fought with that person.
If we hadn’t run fast, you would have definitely received us.
Do you know where the remaining 300 members of the Ninth Royal Guards went?
They all died, in the hands of that man.
When nine of us escaped with serious injuries, that man launched a large spell and summoned A large number of sky thunders fell, and the 300 people of the Ninth Royal Guards who were ambushing around were wiped out in an instant.
We As long as we run a little slower, we will end up like those people.
Compared with his combined strength, I believe we will not lose, but it may not be that easy to defeat him.
It is very likely that both sides will suffer if it is not the emperor.
After giving the order, I think I am absolutely unwilling to meet that person again.
In fact, the emperor does not want to Knowing how terrible that man was, the reason why he was angry was that his mistress died, and he suspected that it was someone from the West Qin Dynasty who did it.
But I checked the woman's body and found that she was poisoned.
Do you think that someone from the West Qin State would do it?
Are you using this method to kill a woman?
It’s easy to kill her, as easy as crushing an ant, and there’s no need to poison her.”
The old knight of the church frowned and said: "If you think that the person who killed the emperor's mistress was someone else and not someone from the Western Qin Dynasty, have we found the wrong person?"
Agul shook his head and said: "It's not like we found the wrong person.
That Western Qin practitioner did go too far.
He and his men killed the entire city guard in Lagata Business District.
This was a blow to the entire Eastern Rome."
No matter who he is, we have to ask him for an explanation.
His departure has actually shown us his attitude.
I don’t think there is any need to fight with him to the end. , this is not good for us, and I don’t want to bury all you old guys.
If he stops attacking ordinary people on his way out of the Eastern Roman Empire, or even if he does, he doesn’t use the methods of practitioners, I don’t think we can do it either.
It is necessary to come forward until he leaves the Eastern Roman Empire, then we can return to Constantinople with peace of mind to return to His Majesty the Emperor, what do you think?"
An old guy wearing a magician's robe asked: "Your Excellency Agulius, are you saying this too much to encourage others and destroy your own prestige?
I heard you said a few days ago that he might also be injured.
If that is the case, he His strength is definitely not as good as before.
Do we still need to be afraid of him?
If he We can't control him showing off his power in the East, but it's not okay for him to be domineering in our Eastern Roman Empire.
If you are afraid of death and don't want to wait for him in front, you don't have to go.
I will go alone, and even if I die, I will let him know that we Practitioners in the Eastern Roman Empire are not easy to bully.”
"Count me in," said the old knight of the church.
Another wizard said: "The longer I live, the less courage I get and the more I fear death.
I don't want to go on like this until I lose my courage.
I'll go with you."
In the blink of an eye, seven or eight old guys proposed to set up an ambush on the road that Zhao Ziliang and others must pass.
Seeing that most of them agreed to set up an ambush in front to wait for Zhao Ziliang and his party, Agulius had no choice but to agree.
When these people arrived at the river, they found that the bridge had been burned.
They could give up their horses and cross the river alone, but after crossing the river, it was impossible to catch up with Zhao Ziliang and his party with horses.

Good horses can travel hundreds of miles a day. , even thousands of miles, but even though these old monsters have been practicing for many years, none of them have reached the point where they can walk thousands of miles in a day.
With no other choice, Agulius and others had to ask the soldiers in the castle to speed up the repair of the burned bridge
