Volume 1: Swan Goose Chapter 257: Pride and Burial
Lu Ning shook his head and sighed: "With the current situation, none of us can escape! We can only fight to the end! Toto, let me down!"
Toto responded, untied the rope and put her down.
Seeing firewood piled on both sides of the street, she had an idea and shouted loudly: "Light the fire quickly! Cut off the pursuers!"
Several people immediately took out the firewood, piled it in the road, and set it on fire.
When the weather dries, the fire rises into the sky and forms a wall of fire.
The horses under the pursuers were so frightened that they neighed and screamed and ran around. The pursuers were immediately in chaos, and the four of them took the opportunity to get rid of the pursuers.
The purple-faced man Huo Siming led dozens of brothers to fight all the way and fled towards the north gate. Everyone rushed to the door, but saw that the door was closed.
Seeing that there were pursuers in front of him and there was no way to retreat, Huo Siming raised his iron whip and shouted loudly: "Brothers, let's fight the dog officer!"
After hearing this, everyone cheered up and immediately charged forward with their weapons drawn.
Huo Siming held an iron whip in his hand specifically to trip the horse's legs. The officers and soldiers were forced to the ground, and other brothers jumped on them and strangled them.
Huo Siming's eyes turned red and he shouted wildly: "Brothers, if we can kill one more traitor, we will earn one! Don't be merciful!"
The heroes shouted in unison: "Kill the dog officers! Kill the thieves! No mercy!"
Huo Siming specializes in selecting military officers to kill. He has quick eyes and quick hands, and is extremely smart and ruthless.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen officer commanders fell off their horses and were brutally strangled.
However, although the opponent suffered many casualties, their position remained intact.
Other brothers in the caravan were not so lucky. During close combat, they were either trampled to death by horses' hooves or cut in half. Dozens of them were killed one after another.
The caravan was beaten to pieces, but after a while, only a few leaders dressed as beggars were left on the battlefield.
Several leaders were tired of dealing with it and were forced to the corner. They faced the pursuers with their backs leaning on each other, either with iron whips or spears.
In the midst of panic, a huge net suddenly fell from the tower and caught them in the middle.
Several people struggled, but the net tightened tighter and tighter, trapping them so tightly that they could not move, and the weapons in their hands fell to the ground.
An officer and soldier rode over on a tall horse and ran back to the city dragging a huge net.
At this time, more than a dozen strong men wearing linen and filial piety, holding mountain-cutting axes, led a group of brothers to move quickly and arrived in front of the south gate.
When everyone saw that the city gate was closed, they immediately dispersed. Some people climbed up the trees to hide in ambush, and some people jumped on the roof to hide.
The pursuers behind him followed closely, but found that there was no one in front of the city gate.
Just when the officers and soldiers were in shock, dozens of people suddenly fell from the sky and landed on the officers and soldiers' horses.
With several flashes of silver light and a few moves of the ax, dozens of officers and soldiers were beheaded and pushed off their horses.
The caravan captured dozens of good horses, and the leader shouted loudly: "The three of you will follow me to find the young gang leader, and the rest will fight with all their strength to seize the city gate and create an exit for our brothers!"
Everyone responded without hesitation: "Yes!"
Then, the three of them galloped away following the leader.
The others turned the horse's head and slapped the horse's butt hard.
The horses neighed in fright, jumped wildly in all directions, ran into the pursuers, and broke up the formation.
The horses under the officers and soldiers were frightened. While they were panicking, a few of them swung their mountain-cutting axes and cut off the heads of several people and rolled them to the ground.
The officers and soldiers reacted and immediately fought with their swords drawn.
In an instant, swords and axes collided, sparks flew, and the two sides fell into a fierce battle.
But after all, the opponent is an army that has been well-trained for many years. No matter how powerful the caravans are, this struggle with a huge disparity in numbers will undoubtedly be an egg against a stone.
Seeing that more and more reinforcements were coming, there were already hundreds of cavalrymen armed with sharp blades and wearing armors, surrounding dozens of caravan brothers.
Everyone gradually became exhausted and fell into a hard fight.
Looking back, I saw the city gate was right behind me, but the pursuers in front of me were too fierce.
Several people gritted their teeth and shouted loudly:
"Brothers, how long can we hold them off with dozens of lives? We can buy some time for the young gang leader to escape!"
Everyone's eyes were filled with blood, and they shouted loudly: "If you can delay it for a while, you must delay the thieves even if you have a breath!"
With their thoughts settled, everyone cheered up. Everyone shouted in unison and charged forward with their axes again.
Perhaps the officers and soldiers were frightened by their aura of generously willing to die and fighting to the death. In the blink of an eye, the situation of the battle turned around.
Suddenly I saw two fast horses rushing towards me, dragging a long trip rope.
Seeing this, all the officers and soldiers resisted and retreated. Before the caravan could recover, the horse rope had caught the horse's legs, and everyone fell forward from the horse.
The people in the caravan wanted to get up and fight again, but dozens of fishing nets were thrown down, trapping them all and tying them behind the horses. Dozens of officers and soldiers immediately turned their horses' heads and ran back dragging the fishing nets.
Lu Ning and the other four people shook off the pursuers behind them and hurried away from the scene. A few of them temporarily hid in a stable.
Ye Guming looked at the good horses in the stable and said, "Why don't we ride out of the city one by one? Although the young gang leader has an injury on his leg, he will not be affected at all while riding on the horse. With the efforts of the few of us,
, they are no match!"
Lu Ning immediately intervened to stop him: "The opponent's cavalry are all well-trained and good generals. Not to mention the continuous reinforcements, even if there are only a hundred people, we may not be able to escape intact. Fighting them on horseback is a bad idea!"
Ye Qingfeng quickly asked: "Do you have any good ideas, young gang leader?"
Lu Ning looked at him and asked, "Do you know of any remote and complicated alleys near here?"
Ye Qingfeng thought for a moment and said: "Yes! Just ten feet away, there is an area called Jiulongpan. The buildings there are messy and every alley is winding. People who are not familiar with the road will be trapped in it as soon as they enter.
!」
Lu Ning's eyes lit up and he said happily: "Great, I need you to draw every alley in detail!"
Ye Qingfeng nodded and pushed away the soil on the ground with his hands, revealing a flat place.
Immediately, he picked up a wooden stick and drew every alley and house in Kowloon Pan in detail based on his memory.
Lu Ning squatted on the ground and looked at the map carefully.
After a long time, she picked up the wooden stick and began to mark the map carefully. Everyone was puzzled, but they did not dare to ask.
When she stopped writing, the three of them asked: "Young Gang Leader, what do these markings mean?"
Lu Ning explained sternly: "We have a small number of people now and almost no equipment, so we cannot go head-to-head with them. If we use our advantages to overcome their weaknesses, there may be a glimmer of hope!"
Ye Guming raised his eyebrows and asked, "How to fight?"
Lu Ning smiled slightly and explained patiently: "The cavalry seems to be well-equipped and extremely brave, but they are not suitable for street fighting. We will fight with them in street fighting and catch them by surprise! As long as we can force them to the ground, they will lose their advantage.
Then you can be slaughtered by us!"
Ye Qingfeng was fascinated by what he heard and hurriedly raised his hands and said: "Please give the order, Young Gang Leader, and we will do it!"
Lu Ning pointed at the map with a wooden stick and said: "I have limited mobility and am responsible for luring the enemy into the alley on horseback. You guys, hide the horses in advance at these places where I must pass. When I arrive, release the horses and let them go."
The enemy troops will split up to pursue them and enter the alley where you have ambush! When the time comes, you will rely on your own strength to annihilate them one by one! Remember, be sure not to pursue Chen Sheng, so as not to cause trouble!"
Toto grinned, patted his chest and shouted, "Don't worry! I will listen to whatever you say!"
After Lu Ning explained the ambush positions of several people one by one, Ye and his son also handed over their hands and responded loudly: "The two of us will live up to the trust entrusted by the young gang leader!"
Ye Qingfeng suddenly became worried: "Young gang leader is injured. Wouldn't it be very dangerous to act alone? How will you get rid of the pursuers behind you?"
Lu Ning smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, I have a clever plan to escape!"
Immediately, she stood up, glanced at the three of them, and bowed her hands respectfully: "Thank you very much for coming to the rescue. Lu Ning is very grateful! I hope you will take care of yourself and never give up your life. We
See you alive!"
Several people felt warm and returned the favor one after another.
Ye Guming looked at the calm and collected girl in front of him, who was so popular among the heroes. After listening to her instructions just now, he seemed to see the figure of Gui Lichi fighting on the battlefield.
This girl is indeed like her father!
Ma Huilan once said that he could not compare with Gui Lichi, but now it seems that this statement is true!
Perhaps, this woman really is the hope of the caravan.
In today's battle, no matter how difficult or dangerous the task was, he would risk his life to protect her!
Lu Ning explained the tactics, and the four of them jumped on their horses and slowly went out.
Ye's father, his son, and Tuotuo each took a good horse.
The four of them stood at the door and looked at each other, speechless, hoping that they would be able to see each other again alive after this separation!
The four of them said goodbye to each other, and Totuo and Ye Guming rode away one after another.
Ye Qingfeng stopped where he was, looking at Lu Ning affectionately, he had a thousand words to say, but he stopped talking.
Lu Ning patted his shoulder, smiled slightly and said: "Go, we will all live well!"
Ye Qingfeng's heart skipped a beat, and a thousand words were stuck in his throat. He could only turn around and run away with a deep fist.
Watching the three people go away, Lu Ning touched the flying needle on his waist, then pulled up the reins, turned the horse's head in a circle, and ran towards the sound of the horse's hooves behind him.
After running a few feet, I saw two hundred cavalry chasing after me.
When everyone saw the woman in front of them, they gave the order and started chasing after her.
Lu Ning immediately turned his horse's head and led them towards Kowloon Pan.
She reined in the horse, sometimes faster and sometimes slower, allowing the officers and soldiers to follow closely, but they could never get close.
Lu Ning has lived on the prairie with Gui Lichi for several years, and has been a top-notch equestrian since he was a child.
When those cavalrymen saw that there was only a weak woman alone in front of them, they took it lightly and unknowingly entered the situation.
As soon as Lu Ning entered Jiulongpan, he grabbed the horse's belly, ran a few feet away, threw away the pursuers, and hid in the place where the horse was hidden.
Then, she flew off the horse, untied the reins of the leading horse, and stabbed the horse's butt with a needle. The horse screamed, kicked four times, and ran wildly away.
When the pursuers were looking for Lu Ning, they suddenly saw a horse galloping out and galloping forward.
The soldiers didn't think much, and dozens of people immediately chased after them on horseback.
Suddenly, two more horses were seen galloping out in different directions, and another pursuer divided into two groups and followed them closely.
The first group of pursuers ran into a long, narrow and deep alley. When they saw that the road ahead was getting narrower and narrower, which was not conducive to riding, they suddenly realized that they had been ambushed.
The soldiers immediately reined in their horses and stopped, marching forward slowly.
When they went deep into the alley, a cloud of black smoke suddenly fell from the sky and stood in the middle.jj.br
Before the soldiers could see the face of the man clearly, they saw the man holding up his mace in his right hand and stabbed hard, hitting the horse's belly.
He punched out with his left hand at the same time, hitting the horse's head. The two horses beside him immediately fell to the ground, and the officers and soldiers on the horse fell off the horse.
The soldiers screamed in surprise and wanted to turn their horses' heads to leave here, but found that the horses under them could not turn around at all and could only be trapped in place.
He watched helplessly as the black shadow scurried back and forth among the horses, and the golden light in his hands flickered.
Not long after, all the horses were injured and fell to the ground.
The cavalryman in the alley was forced to the ground, and Fang could clearly see the ugly, fierce and strong man in front of him like a door god. The mace in his hand was still dripping with blood, but there was always a crazy smile on his face.
The soldiers knew they were outmatched, and when they saw the big man behind them, they followed suit and pressed forward step by step. They immediately abandoned their wounded horses and fled forward.
