Chapter Seventy-One: Hooked
"Report to the general, the cavalry of the Rongdi people has begun to enter the mountains. At the back of a hill, Meng Tian listened to the soldiers' report on the military situation, his palms trembled slightly, this was the first time he led the troops to fight independently, and now he not only had to lead his soldiers to defeat the Rongdi people who were chasing him, but also to ensure that the soldiers who followed him out could return to their families.
Meng Tian stabilized his thoughts for a moment and asked Zhao Li beside him, "Brother Zhao, are our people all ambushed?"
Zhao Li said: "Don't worry, I've already arranged it." I estimate that the soldiers who rode the black wind to deliver the message to Fushi City should be almost there, as long as we hold on here for more than an hour, the reinforcements from Fushi City will arrive, and none of these Rongdi people will be able to run by then. ”
Meng Tian tapped the stone wall in front of him and said, "Okay, let's play with them for an hour first." Obey my orders, everyone is in ambush and do not move, wait until the Rongdi people have completely entered the valley, and then follow my orders to start attacking. ”
The terrain of the mountains here is very peculiar, from the outside it looks like a round mountain bag connected together, but once you enter this mountain you will find that the mountain road here is very narrow, the widest road can only allow five horses to walk side by side, the narrowest place can only accommodate two horses in parallel, and the mountain road is surrounded by cliffs on both sides, which can be said to be easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as you enter this mountain road, then it is easy to get in, but it is difficult to get out first.
Alito and Balu led more than a thousand tribesmen behind them to ride into the mountains, Alito didn't expect that it looked like a round mound outside, but the road inside was so steep, and there was no trace of the Qin army after entering, but looking at the horseshoe prints on the ground, Alito concluded that the Qin people he was chasing and killing were in front of him. However, Alito did not venture forward, he sent two people to the mountain road in front to listen to the movement, and once he found the traces of the Qin people, he immediately came back to report to him.
Alito waited for some time, but the two people who went to explore the path had not yet returned, and he waited a little impatiently, and asked, "What's the matter, it will take so long to go to the front to explore the road." Baru, you take a few people to the front to see what the hell is going on. ”
"Yes, Big Chief. After listening to the eldest brother's words, Balu picked three people from behind him to follow him.
Balu dismounted with three men and ran to the front to explore the way. The four of them walked cautiously forward, and when they walked out of a corner, they saw the two people they had just sent to explore the way, but the two of them stood in one place and did not move.
The four of them slowly approached the two of them, and when they got behind the two of them, Balu patted one of them on the shoulder and said, "What's the matter with you......" Before he finished speaking, he saw the body of the person he was shooting fell forward and fell to the ground.
"Something is wrong, the two of them are dead. Balu had a knife in his hand, carefully looking around. Being able to kill these two people silently, and even after death, the body still retains the posture before death, it seems that the person who killed these two people must be a master. Balu asked one of the three men who had followed him to go back and report to the chieftain, and he continued to explore the path with the other two.
Alito couldn't help but feel a little worried when he heard that the two people who had just been sent to explore the path had died inexplicably in front of him, and he didn't even know how they died. The position of the king is of course very important, but it also has to ensure that he or the situation is not, if he dies, then these clansmen who came out with him will be the same as himself, he has killed so many Qin soldiers before, if he is surrounded by Qin people this time, then his fate will definitely not be much better.
Thinking of this, Alito said to the Rongdi cavalry who came back to report the news: "You go and call Balu back, we won't chase those cavalry, let's withdraw first." When the horsemen who had heard the order had heard the order, they went to the road ahead and conveyed the order of the great chief to Baru.
When this Rongdi man saw the figure of Balu and the other three, he hurriedly ran forward and told Balu and the three of them the order of the big leader. After he finished speaking, Balu and the others still stood motionless, as if they hadn't heard his words. The messenger continued to walk forward and walked to Balu's side, but Balu didn't expect to lie on the ground with a light touch, just like the two dead people just now.
The two people in front and the three people in Balu behind were naturally killed by Meng Tian and Zhao Li. Meng Tian stood on a high place, and saw that the team of the Rongdi people stopped at the periphery of the ambush circle he had set up, in Meng Tian's opinion, the leader of the Rongdi people still had brains, knowing that such a mountain road was full of dangers, and did not blindly lead the troops to rush directly inside. After dealing with the two groups of people who had come to explore the path, Meng Tian was trying to figure out how to make these Rongdi people continue to move forward so that they could enter the ambush circle he had specially prepared for them.
Zhao Li had just disposed of the bodies of Balu and the other two when he heard footsteps around the corner, and then he motioned for Meng Tian to have someone come over, Meng Tian came back to his senses and hid with Zhao Li in the stone crack of the stone wall. When the Rongdi people who came said that they were going to retreat, Meng Tian couldn't hide it a little and was ready to show up to deal with this Rongdi people. He glanced back at Zhao Li, who was hiding behind him, and slashed his hand at his throat towards the Rongdi man Nunu who was delivering the letter, signaling Zhao Li to kill this Rongdi person.
Zhao Li also knew that the ambush was about to fail, and when he saw Meng Tian signaling to him, he nodded, and then quickly got out of the stone wall where he was hiding, and then flashed behind this Rong Di man with lightning speed, covering his mouth from behind with one hand, and then the other hand slipped out of his sleeve A dagger, which was the fish intestine, and then slashed across the throat of this Rong Di man. The whole process didn't make a sound, and Meng Tian wanted to applaud Zhao Li when he watched it from the stone wall.
After killing this Rongdi person, Meng Tian understood that there was no point in ambushing any longer, so he said to Zhao Li: "Brother Zhao, you go and lead all our people to go around to the exit of the mountain road, and find a way to seal the mountain road, this time we have lost so many people, I want to avenge them." ”
Zhao Li didn't know what Meng Tian wanted to do next, but he still did his arrangement.
Meng Tian grabbed his spear, then walked out of the corner of the mountain road, until he walked in front of Alito's army, and then stood still.
"Who are you?" Alito spoke in Qin Chinese this time, and he sent it, and no one from the two teams has returned until now, but a Qin man came out.
Meng Tian didn't expect that the other party would speak Qin Guohua, and he was still thinking about how to communicate with these Rongdi people, but now it's okay, saving a lot of trouble. Meng Tian looked at Alito who was riding on a horse and said, "I am Meng Tian of the Great Qin Mengjia Army, who are you?"
"Meng Jiajun?" Alito shook his head, indicating that he had not heard of it, and then Alito asked Meng Tian, "I am the tent of the Great King of Rongdi, Ulu, and the commander of the Ten Thousand Commanders. Have you seen my brother when you came from within?"
Meng Tian nodded and said, "I have indeed seen it, but he is lying on the ground and can't get up." ”
When Alito heard Meng Tian say that his brother had been killed, he was immediately angry, and he rode on his horse and said, "You killed my brother?"
"Yes, it's me. Meng Tian admitted the fact that he killed Balu, although the person was killed by Zhao Li, but it was at his own instigation, so Meng Tian took it on himself.
Alito was really angry, "Then I will take you to avenge my brother and suffer death." Then he slapped his crotch with a knife, and the war horse rushed towards Meng Tian.
Meng Tian saw Alito riding a horse and rushing towards him, put the spear in his hand across his chest, dealt with Alito who was rushing over, and then retreated step by step.
Seeing that the other party had no intention of resisting him, Alito became alarmed, and he pulled the reins to calm the horses beneath him. Alito looked at Meng Tian and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you should be consuming my time, although I don't know what you want to do, but no matter what happens, I won't be fooled by you." After saying that, he turned his horse's head and prepared to go back.
As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Tian heard a boom, as if a boulder had slipped from the cliff and fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, Meng Tian saw that there were Rongdi people coming out from behind and saying something to Alito, and then Alito's face changed. Meng Tian knew, it should be Zhao Li's plan to block the door, but he didn't know where he got such a big stone.
Meng Tian no longer retreated, stepped forward, and said with a laugh: "The show has just begun, and you can't leave if you want to." ”
