Upon hearing Jiang Long's order, Chen Tai glanced at him in surprise.
Then he agreed: "You really can't hide in the palace!"
Now the enemy's number and combat effectiveness are unknown. To hide in the palace rashly is to directly cut off the retreat.
If the opponent has a large number of people and rushes in regardless of casualties, then they will not even have a chance to escape.
Jiang Long was protecting Lin Ya at this time, frowning and looking around.
On the way here, a group of dozens of men in black were already charging towards them, brandishing steel knives.
Not to mention the number of enemies ambushing in Luohan Hall, this group alone was more than double the number of Jingfu guards.
However, this group of people should be shouldering the heavy responsibility of cutting off their original route and retreating, so the number of people is naturally larger. Based on this calculation, there should be fewer men in black in the palace.
But it's still invincible.
Even though all the Jingfu guards have been on the battlefield and are very fierce, these men in black are obviously not bad at all. They move quickly, are calm and calm, they don't shout, they are disciplined, and they have a lot of evil energy on them.
Chen Tai suddenly said: "Protect the young master down the mountain and retreat into the woods."
The forests in the mountains are messy and dense. Hiding in the woods can greatly weaken the lethality of enemy bows and arrows.
Jiang Long nodded, took Lin Ya's hand and followed a dozen guards into the woods at the foot of the hillside. The ground was sloping and uneven. Jiang Long helped Lin Ya by the way to prevent her from slipping or falling or getting hurt.
Ankle, Shui Lan and Du Juan were all broken at this time. They were so panicked that they could only follow closely behind Lin Ya.
In the end, I didn't run a few steps because the hem of the skirt was too long, and I was used to being pampered by the eldest maids in the mansion. I had never run with such strides before. As a result, I stepped on the corner of the skirt and tripped myself. I just screamed,
That is, Gulugulu turned into a rolling gourd, rolling down the steep slope.
Although he was embarrassed, the speed of the ground ball was not slow, and it actually surpassed Jiang Long and others.
If it weren't for the fear that rolling like this might hit a rock or a tree stump and cause him to fall unconscious, Jiang Long would have rolled down like two maids.
When they rolled to the middle of the hillside, the two women were blocked by trees and stopped.
As expected, the two women hit the tree trunk with their waists, causing pain and a look of pain on their faces.
"Miss."
After a while, Jiang Long ran over holding Lin Ya's little hand. Shui Lan and Du Juan struggled to get up and stretched out their hands, asking Lin Ya to give them a hand.
Lin Ya is also in a hurry now. She is in a panic. Where can she take care of the two little maids?
He directly passed by the two girls.
And even if Lin Ya was really calm, she would not save Shui Lan and Du Juan at this time.
These two people were sent by the elders of the Lin family to monitor her, and she had been worried that she couldn't get rid of them.
Only a small number of the guards, led by Chen Tai, stopped at this time to block the masked man in black, firstly to block the opponent's running speed, and secondly to prevent the opponent from firing arrows with the horn bow without any scruples.
The other half of the guards followed Jiang Long closely with steel knives in their hands. At this time, there were still a few arrows shot through the woods, but they were all blocked by the guards with their knives.
After running a few more steps, Jiang Long breathed heavily and said, "You two are injured. Now leave the team and circle outside to seek help. The rest of you will run into the forest with me!"
One of the two guards was hit by an arrow in the back, and the sharp arrow penetrated his shoulder blade. Blood flowed and soaked his clothes. There were pained expressions on their faces as they ran. Fortunately, they had been on the battlefield and would be under their clothes once they left the house.
Wear soft armor, otherwise the arrow shot from the horn bow will definitely penetrate him.
After hearing this, the guard immediately shook his head and said: "No, I would rather die than guard the young master!"
"The same goes for the little one!" Another guard was hit by an arrow in the thigh. The dazzling blood flowed down his trousers and wet one of his shoes. He was limping while running, and his right foot stepped on the ground.
Leave a red footprint.
"Nonsense!"
Jiang Long suddenly shouted loudly, "The opponent has a large number of people and powerful arrows, so we must find a way to call for reinforcements as soon as possible!
You two were injured. Although you still have the courage to fight each other, your combat effectiveness will inevitably be greatly reduced.
At most, the enemy can only be delayed, and a life will be lost in vain.
Why don't you listen to my instructions and go around in a circle to ask for help from the Forbidden Army!
I will take the rest of the guards deep into the mountains and forests, and use the complex terrain to deal with the enemy. As long as the reinforcements arrive in time, they will definitely be able to save us!"
One of the two guards had served as a scout in the army and knew the importance of delivering news and calling for help. Hearing this, he gritted his teeth and yelled: "I obey the young master's orders!"
After hearing this, the other man glanced at his companion, hesitated for a moment, and immediately nodded in agreement.
Jiang Long breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself that this person had indeed been on the battlefield and was decisive when faced with problems. He would not be as indecisive as his mother-in-law. Otherwise, he would have to spend so much time trying to persuade him, which would cause serious problems.
"Okay, you two follow my orders, one to the left, the other to the right, and make a larger circle to ask for help from the front. Remember not to just make a small circle to save energy and rush for time. The man in black has already
Be prepared, maybe there will be people left in the woods beside the road to cut off the route for help." Jiang Long quickly ordered.
Both of them nodded, then took a deep look at Jiang Long, turned around and left.
At this time, Jiang Long continued: "Remember to be careful and alert when you get to the front. The Forbidden Army and the mansion are a bit difficult to deal with, and there was also a Forbidden Army Captain who was defeated in our hands earlier! Of course, as long as you are in full view of the public,
Run to ask for help, they don't dare do anything to you.
And I don’t dare to drag it on until I come to the rescue.”
"I understand, little one!"
The two guards were not fools. They understood what Jiang Long meant, endured the pain from the wounds on their bodies, and quickly disappeared into the woods on both sides.
"Young Master, which direction are we going?"
Because Jiang Long responded well and exuded the temperament of a leader, when the guard captain Chen Tai did not follow, a tall and strong guard naturally regarded him as the main supporter and asked.
The other guards also set their sights on Jiang Long.
"Go deep into the forest!" Jiang Long explained hurriedly while pulling Lin Ya to run quickly, "The enemy has a numerical advantage. We can only find a way to spread them out in order to gain any chance of survival."
At this time, there were bursts of chaotic footsteps behind everyone. It was obvious that the guards led by Chen Tai were unable to stop all the masked men.
One of the guards looked back while running and asked eagerly: "Then how do we disperse the masked men after we go deep into the forest?"
"Run a little further to distance yourself from the enemy, or find a hillside to block the enemy's sight. Then we will split into two teams and run, and the enemy will have no choice but to chase us separately." Although Jiang Long at this time
He was panting, and there was a layer of hot sweat on his forehead, but his mind was very calm.
"Split the troops?"
These guards instantly understood Jiang Long's method.
Putting it on the battlefield is called breaking it into parts. If you divide more troops, the enemy will have to divide more chasing troops to ensure that you will not lose Jiang Long.
This can invisibly weaken the enemy's huge advantage in numbers.
For example, if you have 20 people on your side and 60 on the enemy side, there is little chance of winning in a battle between 20 people and 60 people.
In the last division of troops, Jiang Long's group still had ten men, while the enemy had thirty men.
Once again, there are five people in Jiang Long's team and fifteen people in the enemy team.
When they were divided again, there were three people on Jiang Long's side, while the enemy only had seven or eight people left.
If the guards left by Jiang Long are strong enough, the chance of victory for two people against seven or eight people is much higher than that of twenty people against sixty people.
Furthermore, if the enemy only has seven or eight people, they will be unable to pursue Jiang Long, and they will not be able to disperse into several groups to conduct a large area search or double-team search.
However, although they knew Jiang Long's method was correct, these guards were still worried.
Because the more times the troops are divided, the fewer guards Jiang Long has around him.
If he accidentally encounters a jackal or wild beast, Jiang Long will have no ability to protect himself.
I'm just worried. The situation is critical now, but I can't think of a better way to deal with it at the moment.
Everyone speeded up as much as possible, and after running for more than ten feet, the terrain in front of them was undulating, just enough to block the view of the pursuers.
Jiang Long immediately ordered his troops to divide into two groups.
"Remember after we separate, don't think about speeding up to get rid of the pursuers and then turning around to protect me, otherwise the separation of troops will be in vain." Jiang Long warned.
Several guards who were assigned to the other team nodded helplessly after hearing this.
Although they can use their speed to temporarily get rid of the enemies behind them here, because footprints will be left on the ground, the enemies will catch up sooner or later. If they turn around and want to join Jiang Long, then the pursuers behind them will also follow suit.
Follow the footsteps again.
That would indeed be a waste of time.
"Young men, go around in a circle and go to the front. After joining the imperial guards who came to the rescue, we will look for the young master together." A guard suddenly knelt down on one knee and said with his hands clasped in his fists.
"Yes." Jiang Longxu gave him a hand, and then waved his hand hurriedly: "Don't waste time, get on your way immediately."
After saying that, Jiang Long took Lin Ya's hand and ran towards the right.
The guards took a deep look at Jiang Long's back and quickly left to the left.
The masked man ran here and found that the footprints in front of him were divided into two groups. In desperation, he had to divide into two equal groups to chase.
The trees in the mountains are thick and dense, blocking the line of sight. You can't see the opponent's figure more than ten feet away.
At most, you can only faintly hear the running sound of the opponent's footsteps on the dead branches and leaves.
After running for more than ten feet, Jiang Long's troops divided again, until now there were only two guards left, including Lin Ya and Shui Lan.
Du Juan was also assigned to another team.
This group of them still ran to the right.
After running a few dozen feet, although there were still messy footsteps behind him, they were obviously much quieter than before.
Obviously, the opponent did not dare to make a bet and only pursued one route, so they could only divide their forces to pursue.
"Young Master, we can no longer divide our forces."
At this time, a guard came up with an idea and said: "You take the young lady and Miss Shui Lan and run away first, while our two brothers stay and set up traps, and then we hide around and attack to interfere with the pursuers!"
It turns out that these two guards are brothers, one is named Lin Hui and the other is Lin Tao. They both followed Mr. Jing Laohou and fought hard battles with the southern barbarian soldiers in southern Xinjiang!
Southern Xinjiang has a hot and humid climate with lots of rainforests, and now they are in the woods, which is what they are good at.
Jiang Long's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded quickly, "Okay."
In fact, he also followed Master Ma in the mountains and forests for more than half a year. Master Ma said that he wanted to practice his ability to survive alone and adapt to crises.
He also learned to set up simple traps.
After agreeing, Jiang Long did not forget to remind him, "Remember, don't confront them head-on. The speed of their pursuit under interference is more important than killing a few people. Do you understand?"
"Yes!" Lin Hui and Lin Tao responded with clasped fists upon hearing this.
