Chapter 359 Heavy Fog
Su Mo sat in the tent, looking at Shen Lan across from him uneasily, and noticed that the latter also had a solemn look on his face.
Everything that needs to be prepared is ready, just waiting for Shen Yuexi to come back.
An hour ago, Shen Yuexi left the military camp mysteriously without knowing what to do. She just told Shen Lan to let the soldiers quietly prepare their bags. The two of them would carry a wounded person and everyone should leave together.
Shen Lan has already ordered the captains to act according to Shen Yuexi's instructions. All everyone has to do now is wait.
"Sister-in-law... can she really take us away?" Su Mo couldn't help but ask, "If we fail, our lives will be in danger."
Shen Lan said: "If it were the sister I knew before, I would never believe that she could do it. But she has been fighting with her brother-in-law all the way to this day. I believe that as long as she speaks out, she will definitely be able to do it. Don't you believe her?"
Su Mo quickly shook her head and said, "I believe her. But my husband's army is at the bottom of the mountain. If they find it, they will definitely come after them."
"Sister will never joke with everyone's lives," Shen Lan looked at Su Mo, "But you, why did you decide to follow us?"
Su Mo clasped her hands together and said, "She has persuaded me several times, but I have always been hesitant. After knowing what Beiheng did, I don't know what I will do."
Even now, she has no opinion. Rather than saying that she agreed to run away with Shen Yuexi, it is better to say that she does not know what to do. She has never had such an experience in her life. In this huge crisis Before the accident, she was completely at a loss.
Shen Lan said: "He is no longer the Xiao Beiheng you know. It is right to leave him. If he is sincere to you, he will never hit you."
Su Mo smiled bitterly: "Sister, it's easy for you to say that. Think about what Xiao Kai did to you. But after my sister-in-law rescued you from Yongwei, you went back to find Xiao Kai."
Shen Lan fell silent when Su Mo told her the central issue.
Shen Yuexi worked so hard to rescue her from Yongwei, thinking that she would be out of the sea of misery. But later when she learned that Xiao Zhuojun was defeated, her first thought was to go back to find Xiao Kai. It was this move that led to her Her left hand was chopped off by Xiao Beiheng. Fortunately, Su Mo let her go in private, otherwise her life would not have been saved.
Su Mo said: "My sister-in-law and I have said that we women will marry a chicken and a dog and they will follow the dog. Without Beiheng, I will have nothing."
"You're right. I can understand your current mood. It's the same as mine at that time." Shen Lan leaned forward and held Su Mo's hand with both hands. "What I also thought about at that time was that once I left Xiao Kai, I There is nothing left. But you see, I am now a military advisor under the Queen of Xiliang, with a salary and status. We can live very well without men."
"That's because you are gifted, sister," Su Mo smiled and shook her head, with tears looming on her face, "I don't know anything. What I have learned since I was a child is useless. I am just a waste."
"Don't think so," Shen Lan said anxiously, "You haven't done anything yet, why do you think you are a waste?"
Just as Su Mo was about to answer, footsteps sounded outside the tent, and Shen Yuexi rushed in happily.
"Sister, younger brother and sister, we're going to leave right away."
The two of them saw that Shen Yuexi was wet all over and her face was a little blue. They couldn't help but stood up in surprise. Su Mo asked, "What happened to sister-in-law? She fell into the water? Come and warm yourself by the fire."
"No, it's caused by the heavy fog." Shen Yuexi said, "Aren't we all ready? We don't have time to warm up by the fire, so let's go quickly."
Shen Lan and Su Mo looked at each other in confusion, and followed Shen Yuexi out of the tent. Only then did she see a thick white fog rising outside the tent, and no one could be seen three feet away. The sound of rustling footsteps sounded in the mist, as well as the clash of armor and swords and guns. It should be that the Xirong army was marching.
"We'll use the fog to evacuate." Shen Yuexi said with a hint of contentment, "But escape hastily and leave this camp to the enemy."
Su Mo nervously held Shen Yuexi's hand and said, "It's so foggy and the mountain road is so steep. If you slip and fall off the cliff, you'll die."
When she went up the mountain, she knew that the road to Baixiu Mountain was extremely rugged and steep. Even if the weather was clear, she still needed torches to illuminate her path while walking carefully. The fog was so heavy now that the torches couldn't illuminate her feet, and she would fall off the cliff if she missed the mark.
Shen Yuexi said with a smile: "It's such a heavy fog that my brother doesn't dare to lead his army to chase us. Let's go down the mountain quickly."
The three of them walked to the gate of the camp, and Hugubie appeared in the thick fog. He held a rope in one hand and handed it to the three of them and said: "Please feel the rope and go down the mountain. I will lead the rear army to destroy the rope, so that the enemy cannot Chase us."
Shen Lan checked the rope and found that the rope was wrapped around a wooden stake buried in the soil, and then the other end was submerged in the thick fog. The purpose was to give everyone something to rely on when going down the mountain, so as not to take the wrong path and fall off the cliff.
"Sister, did you arrange these ropes in advance?" Shen Lan looked at Shen Yuexi in confusion.
If there is a heavy fog, it will be dangerous to prepare the rope. It seems that Shen Yuexi knows that there will be a heavy fog.
"To be a general, you need to know astronomy and geography, ahem..." Shen Yuexi pretended to be mature, "I was sure that there would be heavy fog on the mountain, so I asked General Hugubie to prepare in advance. Now there are already four Thousands of people came down the mountain, but we were still the last.”
Shen Lan's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Sister, that's exactly what the military manual says. You actually know when the fog is coming. It's amazing."
Shen Yuexi stuck out her tongue secretly and turned around to prevent others from seeing her blush: "Let's go down the mountain quickly."
She was so embarrassed that she was so embarrassed. The heavy fog that almost enveloped the entire Baixiu Mountain was created by her using the spring water from the mountain. It was the same as when she created a sandstorm in King Qi's military camp. Compared with sandstorms, creating fog is more effective It's very easy for Big Bear.
With the heavy fog covering the mountain, the enemy troops at the foot of the mountain were unable to check the movements of the Xirong Army. If the enemy scouts insisted on touching it, they would miss the mark and fall down.
Everyone descended along the rope to the foot of the mountain. Su Mo looked back at Baixiu Mountain shrouded in thick fog and stopped hesitantly.
"What's wrong with my brother and sister?" Shen Yuexi took the two horses from the sergeant and handed the reins of one horse to Su Mo, "We have to leave quickly. Once my brother finds out that our camp is empty, he will definitely send The army pursued them."
Shen Lan also got on his horse and said, "What my sister said is that we leave here quickly and then make plans."
Seeing the urging of the two men, Su Mo had no choice but to get on his horse and follow the Xirong army to the northwest.
In order to escape smoothly, the entire Xirong army only brought rations, blankets and other necessities, and all their luggage, including tents, were abandoned on Baixiu Mountain.
After walking all night, the army was exhausted at dawn, so Shen Lan ordered the army to camp on the roadside and ordered his sergeants to cut down trees on the roadside to build defensive horses to defend against the enemy.
The bonfire had just been lit in the camp, and smoke and dust began to rise on the horizon in the direction of Baixiu Mountain.
"Cavalry, the enemy's cavalry is chasing us," the scout in the distance, circling on horseback, waved and shouted, "the number is about eight thousand."
Shen Yuexi was startled. She stood up and looked at the top of Baixiu Mountain, which was half exposed on the horizon. She saw that under the rising sun, the fog had already dissipated, and she couldn't help but feel upset. The fog could stop the enemy, but once the sun came out, the fog They dispersed. Xiao Beiheng actually sent cavalry to chase them. Most of the Xirong army here were infantry and they had thousands of wounded, so they couldn't escape at all.
"They are chasing us so fast," Shen Lan turned around and said goodbye to Hu Gu, "Captain, let the thousand-man team prepare for battle."
Shen Lan's calm tone also affected Hugubie. He turned around and shouted: "Warriors pick up their swords and prepare to face the enemy!"
The Xirong sergeants stood up one after another, picked up their weapons and formed a formation. At the front were the infantry holding light shields and sabers, and the crossbowmen behind the infantry set up their bows and arrows and prepared to shoot.
Su Mo held Shen Yuexi's arm and said, "Sister-in-law, can we defeat the eight thousand cavalry?"
"It's okay. When two armies meet, the brave one wins." Shen Yuexi comforted her without changing her expression, "Since we are chasing you, we have to fight."
In fact, she was also very panicked. The Xirong army had just hastily built a barrier of horse resistance. The enemy's cavalry could completely bypass the horse barrier and attack. There was no barracks for defense here, and the number of enemy cavalry exceeded the Xirong infantry. I'm afraid. To finish playing.
While she was feeling worried, the sound of horse hooves in the north came again.
"They are our cavalry," the sharp-eyed Xirong sergeant shouted loudly, "the flag is the Queen of Xiliang." Shen Yuexi was overjoyed, and quickly climbed to a high place with Shen Lan and Su Mo, and at a glance they saw the cavalry at the forefront. The familiar silhouette and metal mask shone brightly under the rising sun.
Mei Dai personally led the cavalry to meet them.
