Chapter 238: Leave a way back for every step of the way
It was still dark and dreary, and a group of neat guards gathered at the gate of the city.
The guards guarding the city were sleeping soundly, and suddenly someone got him up from the bed, and he was about to scold when he heard the man scolding: "Hurry up and meet Jing Zhaoyin." ”
The guards guarding the city were shocked, what was Jing Zhaoyin doing at the gate of the city at this time? He quickly got up and ran out, and saw a group of imposing guards standing in several rows, and suddenly knew that something big was about to happen, so he ran over in a panic to pay respects.
"Open the gates. Liao Weizhang commanded.
The guards guarding the city looked at him in embarrassment: "My lord, there are regulations here, the city gate cannot be opened until the hour, and the small ones dare not open -----." ”
Liao Weizhang lost his patience, "If you are told to open it, you will open it, this official is instructed by the emperor to arrest the traitorous party, and open it quickly." ”
As soon as the guards heard the emperor's message, they immediately nodded, "Wait a minute, the little one will go and get the key." ”
After a while, the guards came out with a bunch of keys and consciously went to open the city gates, and then the guards went out of the city gates one after another.
Liao Weizhang walked at the back, and after everyone left the city, he said to the guards guarding the city: "Close the door again, and the rest don't need to be taught by the official." ”
The guards replied again and again: "Don't worry, the little one hasn't seen anything, hasn't heard anything, the little one has been sleeping, and the time is up to open the door." ”
Liao Weizhang nodded with satisfaction, and then followed out of the city gate.
The group traveled more than ten miles, and Liao Weizhang took a look at the surrounding terrain and was very satisfied.
There was only one main road here, and there were hills on both sides, and he ordered some of his men to lie in ambush on the left and right slopes, while he himself led the rest to block the fork in the road.
The sky gradually brightened, Liao Weizhang was shivering coldly, and he heard the spies report that a carriage was coming, and he quickly ordered everyone to be vigilant and wait for the carriage to drive into the range.
Although he knew that the young master of the righteous march was low-key, he did not expect that the latter really only had one carriage, and there were no more than two or three people in the carriage, and the coachmen outside were also ordinary coachmen, nothing special.
Liao Weizhang saw that the distance was appropriate, and with a wave of his hand, the archers standing in the front row would understand, and a volley of arrows shot at the horse's feet.
The horse was frightened, and he stopped and leaped violently, and narrowly overturned the carriage, and the coachman fell directly from the wheels to the ground, so frightened that he got up and ran backwards.
Liao Weizhang waved his hand again, and the arrows shot out like rain, all of them shot on the carriage, but in the blink of an eye, three people suddenly jumped out of the roof of the carriage, and before he could see it clearly, the three jumped out of the carriage.
The frightened horse dragged the wagon all the way up the hill, and as soon as he reached the hillside, he broke free of the reins, and then ran away with a scream.
Everything will be fine, Liao Weizhang looked at the two people in front of him in front of the man with the hat, obviously the one wearing the hat was the young master of the righteous marching army, and he was also a teenager from the figure, it should be right.
He couldn't help but rejoice, the righteous march has plagued the imperial court for many years, and if he catches the young master of the righteous march today, it will be a great achievement.
"Shoot me. Liao Weizhang shouted, and the front and rear archers quickly changed positions, and the arrow rain was almost non-stop.
Yang Bao and Chiba were hit and retreated, and the two also found that there were also ambushes on the left and right slopes, and the road ahead was intercepted, unless they ran back, but how could their two legs be more than four legs.
Chiba was anxious and ruthless, gritted his teeth and said: "This group of turtle grandsons, Lao Tzu rushed over directly to fight with them." ”
"Don't be impulsive----- Yang Meng shouted: "Capture the thief and capture the king first, Liao Weizhang doesn't know kung fu, the group of people behind him are all shrimp soldiers and crabs, it is not worth mentioning, I cover you, you rush through the rain of arrows and capture him directly." ”
Chiba nodded fiercely, "Young master, you should be careful, your subordinates will go down and capture that turtle grandson." As he spoke, he shouted loudly, and instead of retreating from his feet, he raised his sword and rushed forward.
Yang Bao blocked the left and right arrows for him all the way, and the tacit understanding between the two of them cooperated, and in a few breaths, they were about to rush to the front of the court soldiers.
Liao Weizhang was shocked, and secretly said that these people were not afraid of death, and while ordering people to speed up the archery, they retreated behind the cavalry.
However, at this moment, a person rushed down from the hillside and hurriedly ran to Liao Weizhang, "My lord, there is a large group of horseback riding teams from Xicheng. ”
Liao Weizhang was stunned for a moment, although he got the news that this group would leave the north city gate, but for the sake of insurance, he still sent people to garrison the other three city gates, and ordered that once there was a carriage or horseback team out of the city, it would be stopped immediately.
"The other party is all ruthless characters, our people can't stop it at all, and more than ten people have been killed and injured. ”
Liao Weizhang looked at the two people who were still rushing forward fiercely, and the young man behind him who was dodging in embarrassment, and some thoughts flashed in his mind, but he didn't dare to catch them.
Shan Cha frowned, "My lord, I'm afraid we've fallen for it." ”
Liao Weizhang was anxious: "How do you say it?"
"It's strange that there are only three people, even if they rush up, it will be a dead end, but why do they have to fight to the death? This road can't escape at all, so according to the lower officials, they are not protecting the young man behind, but to buy time. ”
Liao Weizhang couldn't believe it, "The main book is saying that the real young master escaped from another city gate?"
Shan Cha nodded, he didn't believe that the young master of the dignified righteous march would not bring an escort, just three people, this is not a suicide?
What's more, he heard that the young master of the righteous march army was extraordinary, but the young man behind him was hiding a little embarrassed, and he was almost determined in his heart that these three people were not the people they wanted to arrest at all.
Liao Weizhang only thought for a moment and asked the messenger: "How long have they escaped?"
"Half a pillar of incense. ”
Liao Weizhang's mind turned, the fork in the road here and the main road of Beicheng just connected, and it was only half an hour to ride a horse, but it would take at least two quarters of an hour to reach the intersection of Beicheng, and it was still too late.
Thinking of this, he waved his hand, motioned for everyone to stop, and then shouted, "Go." So he took the lead and ran to the fork on the left.
Shan Cha also kept an eye on it, so that the people on the left and right slopes did not follow, but continued to besiege, and only after giving these orders did he beat his horse to catch up.
Yang Bao and Chiba were rushing forward without their lives, but they didn't want to rush to the front before Liao Weizhang took everyone to withdraw? Both of them were stunned, what was going on?
They only paused for a few moments, because there were still more than a dozen soldiers on the left and right slopes, and they immediately concentrated on the people in front of them.
Although they consumed too much physical strength before, it was not difficult for the two of them to solve more than a dozen small soldiers, and they knocked all the dozen or so people to the ground without making a quick move.
All this is simply too strange, why did Liao Weizhang leave suddenly? Yang Bao and Chiba looked at each other, and then turned their gaze to their young master.
At this time, Luo Meng had already taken off the hat, and there was no emotion on his face, but it was precisely because of this that Yang Meng and Chiba felt that all this seemed to be under the control of the young master.
