Chapter 1532: Surrounded on All Sides
A quarter of an hour later, Mai Xiaoji received news from Ji Manli from afar, and found a large number of enemy troops, not the thousand people mentioned at all, but more than 10,000 people!
Mai Xiaoji's heart sank, and he hurriedly told Ji Manli not to rush back, to look around again, and if necessary, he could fly into the air to check.
The tanma who inquired about the news again came back, but Ji Manli was still nowhere to be seen, the army was impatiently waiting, General He arched his hand unhappily: "Your Majesty, you can see a small army of Rouran on the top of the mountain, it is an excellent time to pursue, so waiting is only afraid that the fighter will be delayed!"
Tuoba Tao frowned, and when he was undecided, he still tended to believe General He, and at the same time, he was soon his brother-in-law.
"Gather the army and immediately chase over the mountain!" Tuoba Tao's slightly immature palm waved forward.
"Wait!" Mai Xiaoji hurriedly stopped, took two steps forward, and said in a low voice: "Brother Tao, be careful of deception, or wait for the news." ”
"Brother Mai, if you don't move at this time, the enemy will run away. Tuoba Tao was young and insisted on chasing.
"Brother Tao, look at the distance, there is not a single flying bird, and there are quite a few thousand troops, if there are not other ambushes, this phenomenon should not be this phenomenon. McXiaoji said.
"Hmph, this season, there are not many flying birds, and I haven't encountered a few on the march, what's suspicious?" General He asked with a sneer, and many people laughed along.
Mai Xiaoji was also embarrassed and embarrassed, but it was true that there was an ambush ahead, and he paused and said: "The bird I am referring to is not the bird with wings, but the clouds. Brother Tao, if you look up over there, it will be different from me?"
Tuoba Tao raised his neck, and the rest of the people also raised their heads, and as far as the eye could see, there were white clouds in the sky, no different.
Mai Xiaoji said again: "Look at the clouds in the sky, it is extremely thin, and then feel the wind blowing from the north, with a trace of warmth. I conclude there must be an ambush over there!"
After saying that, Mai Xiaoji was a little sweaty, regretting that he didn't learn a few more professional terms from Mai Daoist, what is this talking about, nonsense, a liar!
Of course, everyone didn't believe it, Tuoba Tao looked around, frowned slightly, and didn't say anything behind his back. General He stared at the big eyes and was stunned for a while, and suddenly laughed, "The wind and clouds in the sky are changing all the time, how can people on the earth change by blowing their breaths." Mr. Mai, please keep your mouth shut, my knife is covered with blood!"
At this moment, Mai Xiaoji's face changed sharply, because he received other news from Ji Manli, not only in the north, but also in the other three sides, the traces of Rouran soldiers were also discovered, the number was huge, no less than 100,000, and they were outflanking here!
Ignoring the search for words in his brain, Mai Xiaoji hurriedly said: "Brother Tao, please go up the mountain quickly!"
"Brother Shicai Mai won't let him pass, why is he in a hurry at this time?" Tuoba Tao asked with a fox face.
I can't look at the clouds, and when I look at it, the clouds in the other three directions are thicker than here, and no one believes that it is the popularity of the people below that has been dispersed by transpiration. Mai Xiaoji had no choice but to lie on the ground, put his ears on it, listened to it for a while, and then got up, and said hurriedly: "I noticed that there are forces gathering here from all directions!"
Without a preface and a remark, General He was furious, and the snow knife glowing with cold light was withdrawn, and the tip of the knife pointed at Mai Xiaoji unceremoniously, "Hugh has to bewitch the crowd here, I will cut off your head first, and see if you still talk nonsense!"
Tuoba Tao didn't say a word, Mai Xiaoji had already prepared the golden circle, but Zhu Mu rushed over, pressed the back of the knife with his hand, and frowned: "General He is angry, soft and cunning, you must not be guarded against." ”
"This person is capricious and deceives His Majesty, and his crime should be punished!" General He said.
"You made the law, you will kill if you say kill?" Mai Xiaoji was also annoyed, pushed the big knife away, and said unhappily: "You are greedy for merit, how can you be sure that there is no ambush around? If something happens, can you afford this responsibility?"
General He was not frightened, and said coldly: "The fighter plane is fleeting, if you are timid and dare not show it, you will be disloyal to Your Majesty!"
"Okay, then where you want to go, I have to go up the mountain to hide!"
Flicked his sleeves hard, Mai Xiaoji took the lead to go up the mountain, General He kept scolding in the back, no matter what he said, it was his reason, where did the demon come out, and his appearance was suspicious!
Mai Xiaoji slowly came to the halfway point of the mountain, but he heard the crowd behind him, Tuoba Tao had already gone up the mountain under the escort of the soldiers, and couldn't help but smile coldly, and did not stop walking.
After a while, Tuoba Tao had already caught up, and while walking side by side with Mai Xiaoji, he said: "Brother Mai, according to reliable information, enemy troops have been found in both the east and west directions!"
"Well, those who fled from the north have returned. As soon as Mai Xiaoji's chin was raised, Tuoba Tao put his hand on the pergola and looked at it, his face changed, and he saw that the dust was rising in the distance, and the direction he was moving in was himself.
Extrapolating from this, the south will not be able to keep it, but it is afraid that it has fallen into the predicament of being attacked from all sides.
Ji Manli came back first, but she was alone, and she must have abandoned the war horse on the way to explore the road. General He hurriedly asked, "What can you find out?"
How could Ji Manli look at him more, she felt dirty when she heard the sound, so she found a big stone and sat down and closed her eyes.
The scouts sent out came one after another to report, and the Rouran army was found on all sides, and the momentum was huge, but because they couldn't get close, they couldn't probe the reality of the other party.
Despite his mental preparations, Tuoba Tao was still thunderous and angry, and scolded: "You are all fools, I am surrounded on this lonely mountain, but you don't know it!"
"The subordinates are guilty!" "The subordinates are guilty!" General He's face turned pale, but he didn't forget to exclude Mai Xiaoji, and said indignantly: "Your Majesty, our army advanced here, but was besieged by Rouran, someone must have leaked the news in advance!"
"Do you still need you to remind me?" Tuoba Tao kicked a mountain rock in annoyance, hitting one of the soldiers in the lower abdomen, grinning in pain, but not daring to speak.
"Your Majesty, this man is of unknown origin, and this danger has happened since he appeared. Moreover, his wife has been gone for a long time, and it is difficult to say that she did not report the military situation to the enemy. General He pointed at Mai Xiaoji and shouted.
Hmph, a sneer, made the atmosphere of the scene solidify, many people shivered for no reason, Tuoba Tao was also pale, and hurriedly looked at one place, it was Ji Manli.
A pair of beautiful eyes are cold and deep, and the upper and lower parts of the body are like a thick layer of frost, which makes people shudder. At this time, she stared directly at General He, and saw him in a cold sweat, his hands had nowhere to put it, but she couldn't move her gaze. Ji Manli suddenly turned his head to one place, and General He was able to retract his eyes, but his body tilted involuntarily, and he knelt on the slope again, almost rolling down, very embarrassed.
Mai Xiaoji didn't say a word, but Tuoba Tao angrily reprimanded: "Brother Mai has only been with me for two days, how can I collude with Rouran, he can gather 100,000 people? I think you are bewitching the army, come!"
