Although Situ Qiu died unjustly, He Qizhou still felt a little bit sad when he saw his brothers killing each other. He whispered to Situ Xia: "Prince Situ, although the Royal Forest Army is close at hand, their first target is Hanjian Villa, followed by
Helian Chenwu will not attack us for the time being, but if you can trust me, we can get ready now and head north together!"
"What should I do if the Yulin Army comes after me? What should I do if the officers and soldiers discover Helian Chenwu because of us?" Situ Xia asked.
"The two princes took a step to speak." He Qizhou pulled the two aside and whispered: "We are just going to use the Yulin army's strategy to follow the clues and leave safely. As long as we take away all the supplies, we will arrive in the wilderness.
If the Empress tries to extend the three-day journey, they will not be able to get supplies, so they will have no choice but to give up tracking!"
"What if it can't be pulled open?" Situ Xia and Tuo Bahuan asked at the same time.
"I will find a way!" He Qizhou said confidently.
…
At the southern foot of Mount Aihang, Li Zeping led his forty men and more than twenty bandits from Jindiaozhai and were quickly fleeing eastward. Several miles behind them, there was a pursuit force of nearly a hundred people. In the mountain col ahead, a group of soldiers
Both eyes were staring closely at the two groups of people speeding by.
"As soon as the people from Jindiao Village run past here, we will attack immediately!" Shen Tinggu said expressionlessly.
"Yes!" Several people responded simultaneously in the darkness.
"That's not right, sir, why did those idiots run away!" Someone from a slightly higher place discovered that the route of Jindiao Village, which was originally close to the foothills, had changed, and its direction was getting closer and closer to the south.
"It seems that they were forced southward by the people of Hanjian Villa with arrows! Those idiots! Sir, they all turned southward, and it seems they won't pass by here!" the man continued to shout.
Shen Tinggu immediately stood up, jumped to the treetops, and took a look. Sure enough, two groups of people and horses drew an arc along the foothills, turning from east to south. The nearest distance from here was more than two miles away.
It became three miles.
"Hurry up and attack with me!" Shen Tinggu no longer hesitated, jumped from the treetop, and led four thousand feather forest guards to chase after him.
For a moment, there was a loud sound of horse hooves, and under the moonlight, thousands of horses were galloping on the endless grassland on the south side of the gentle Aihang Mountain, and the distance between the three parties seemed to be always two or three miles.
"Sir, something doesn't seem right. Are the horses in Hanjian Villa so good? Why are they running faster and faster?" Seeing that he was still unable to catch up with the opponent, a member of the Qianhu family asked Shen Tinggu loudly.
"I also think there is a problem, but the endurance of their horses is definitely not as good as ours. Keep chasing!" Shen Tinggu didn't want to miss this opportunity to completely annihilate Hanjian Villa. The four thousand horses gradually dispersed, like a huge wave.
, and rolled towards the hundred or so horses not far ahead.
About an hour after chasing them out, the winding Yelen River blocked the way in the southwest. The "Golden Eagle Gang" running at the front chose a waterway and rushed through, splashing countless water. The water here was deep.
Maybe not even a foot; then the "Hanjian Villa" who was chasing closely followed the route of the "Golden Eagle Gang" and rushed over.
The Yulin army, which had been chasing for less than two miles, was in trouble for a while. In the darkness, no one knew the depth of the river. Shen Tinggu, who was in the middle, shouted: "Follow their waterway!"
"Follow the Chinese army across the river!" Someone immediately shouted the order, and the army that spread out in a fan shape suddenly closed in. Like water dripping from a leak, the army swarmed into the water surface that was less than ten feet wide, and there were splashes of water on the river.
Like boiling water, the sound of splashing water echoed through the night sky.
"Be careful of hidden arrows on the slope!" Shen Tinggu, who was about to cross the river, blocked the flying arrows aimed at the door with one hand. At this time, more and more arrows were being shot from the soil slope beside the water bank, which was only a hundred meters away from the river bank.
step.
In the night, two horses fell into the river after being hit by arrows, and they took down several horses who were crossing the river at full speed. Those following behind could only dodge to both sides of the river, but the river there was obviously much deeper, and the speed of the advance was
It came down immediately!
"Those who are crossing the river should shoot arrows to suppress them immediately!" Shen Tinggu roared. After crossing the river first, he grabbed the strong bow of the guard beside him and immediately shot arrows towards the low slope a hundred steps away. Under the moonlight, there were two people on the slope.
Thirty riders were firing arrows non-stop, while the other people from Hanjian Villa had already crossed the slope.
The Yulin Guards who crossed the river immediately spread out to both sides of the river bank, and then quickly fired arrows towards the lower slopes to fight back. Since the Yulin Guards' men and horses were protected by light armor, they were almost not afraid of the opponent's ordinary bows and arrows shooting down from above at such a long distance. And dozens of them were not afraid of them.
After the famous Yu Linwei fired several rounds of powerful arrows, more than ten horses fell down on the hillside. The archers standing beside the horses immediately abandoned their horses and fled down the slope.
The river was open again, and Shen Tinggu did not dare to advance. He waited until about four to five hundred people had crossed the river, and then led his troops to pursue the slope. When they rushed up the gentle slope several feet high, they found that the enemy had run out for about two miles, and
There were hundreds of empty horses blocked up and down the slope.
"Sir, they have changed their horses. Should we still chase them? We seem to have fallen into a trap!" the counselor beside Shen Tinggu suggested.
Shen Tinggu thought quickly and said: "It seems that Pan Gu's Tiexin has gone north. Okay, let's give them this opportunity. As long as the Rengui Second Battalion can keep up with Tuoba Xian, we will have enough time to follow them."
, that is the easiest way to find Helian Chenwu."
"You mean Pan Gu's tribe left horses here?" the military advisor asked.
"Who else could it be? Humph! Even if they change their horses once, they may not be able to escape! Send the order, the team will be divided into three, and they will be surrounded in a fan shape. This time, Hanjian Villa must not be allowed to escape!"
"yes!"
…
"Third brother, I can guarantee that no one knows the terrain here better than me, Crow. Let's not move too fast. Just hang them two or three miles apart to make sure they can't catch up with us." Crow is the standing guide of the Golden Eagle Gang.
He is also one of the people who surrenders most readily.
Li Zeping said angrily: "Are you stupid? Didn't you see them outflanking you from both sides? There is no horse to replace behind!"
"Don't worry, you're right to follow me. When it comes to saving your life, even Gang Leader Diao can't match me." Crow assured.
"If it doesn't work, you can run separately as planned. I'll divert Shen Tinggu away." Yuwen Lingfeng was also running in front of the team. The "Golden Eagle Gang" and "Hanjian Villa" had now formed a team.
Li Zeping said: "How can we do that? Didn't He Qizhou say that we must find a way to lure the Yulin Army farther away? We have lost so many good horses, how can we give up halfway after traveling such a short distance?"
"Okay, then let's sneak them around again!" Yuwen Lingfeng said with a smile.
"That's right. Although we are all bandits, we are all bloody men who keep their word. Just run with us for a while. If you can run side by side with the owner of Hanjian Villa, we will not be brothers on the road in the future.
They all have to raise their heads to look at us." Li Zeping said.
"Hahaha..." Yuwen Lingfeng laughed boldly: "I am forty-two this year. If you don't mind, you who are older than me can call me brother, and those who are younger than me can call me brother. If I can make friends with you,
In the future, I will be able to hold my head higher in the arena."
"Did you hear that?" Li Zeping shouted excitedly: "Master Yuwen is willing to be our big brother!"
"Brother", "Brother Yuwen", "Brother Zhuangzhu"... the team of more than 100 people suddenly shouted happily.
"Brother, how old are you?" Yuwen Lingfeng turned his head and looked at an old horse bandit who was nearly fifty years old.
"Forty eight"
"Then why do you still call me eldest brother? How do you call me brother?"
"His name is Iron Rooster. He is the accountant in the village and he is very picky with his brothers!" the crow screamed.
"Get lost!" Gong Ji glared at the crow, and then said to Yuwen Lingfeng flatteringly: "Brother Yuwen, my name is Gong Ji. I'm used to it, and I probably won't be able to change my words in this life. Don't mind.
"
"Brother Gong, I didn't expect that you would all be willing to come here as bait. I underestimated you, so I call you brother. That's all right." Yuwen Lingfeng said with a smile.
Gong Ji held back his excitement for a long time before saying sheepishly: "We have been chased by the army many times. As long as we follow the crow, we can escape almost every time. No, I am not really willing to fight for it."
"Believe me, that's it! Drive--" the crow said proudly, and then headed towards the established goal, the gentle grassland gradually extended downwards
…
"Master, can you hear what they are shouting?" the military advisor asked.
"It seems like you are calling me brother." Shen Tinggu said with a livid face.
"Is it possible that all the people in Hanjian Villa are so good at riding?" The military advisor felt more and more incredible.
"The one at the front is indeed Yuwen Lingfeng. We have chased him all the way here. Even if we are fooled, we can't give up!" Shen Tinggu's face became increasingly ugly. He had been chasing him for more than two hours, but he was still two feet away from him.
The distance of three miles is elusive and out of reach.
The flat grassland suddenly went downwards after passing through several gentle slopes. The people fleeing in front plunged into a wide canyon. The canyon gradually became deeper and deeper. Shen Tinggu led two thousand people to follow the canyon, and there were thousands more on each side.
People are running above the canyon.
The upper part of the canyon gradually became more rugged, and the pursuers on both sides had to leave the edge of the canyon. By listening to the sound of horse hooves in the canyon, they pursued vaguely to the southwest. In the end, even the sound of horse hooves became inaudible, and the two teams were completely lost in the chaos.
On the grassland lined with stones, the sight of each other is blocked by the rocks in the canyon more than ten miles wide, making it impossible to look at each other.
In the canyon, there were gradually more rocks, and the road became narrower and narrower. After chasing in the middle of the night, it was already bright, but the fog was so thick in the canyon that even things half a mile away were invisible, let alone two miles away.
Unable to see clearly, Shen Tinggu just followed the sound of horse hooves to catch up.
It was obvious that the distance between the two sides was increasing, and the sound of horse hooves was getting softer and softer. Is there any point in continuing to pursue him? Shen Tinggu began to waver.
…
"Crow, why are you speeding up? They can't run fast now, so shouldn't they be able to delay for a while?" Li Zeping asked in confusion.
"Aren't you stupid? We will go out in two miles, and then we will be back on the grassland. If we don't try our best to distance ourselves now, we will never have the chance to escape!" The crow, who had a new big brother, began to ignore the third brother.
Keep it in mind.
