Chapter 143: Diverting the Tiger from the Mountain
Two thousand cavalry, after the previous battle, only one thousand remained.
Deputy Commander Lan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This time it's going to be served in a pot." ”
Now, even if you hit a stone with an egg, you have to fight to the death.
Deputy Commander Lan gave an order, and a thousand cavalry quickly assembled. The soldiers had just rested, and everyone had a radiant look on their faces, and they all looked like they were at home.
Luo Ning also walked out of the cave, his face was pale and his steps were vain, but his eyes revealed a sense of fortitude.
Everyone is ready to fight to the death.
Gu Shuiyue looked at these young faces, they were all the bravest warriors under Gongsun Yi's throne, and they wanted to follow Gongsun Yi to make contributions. Now, their young lives could be buried in this wilderness, and their names would disappear with their deaths.
These were brought out by her, if they all died here, what did she think was the identity of the general to see Gongsun Yi? It really tarnished Gu Tianlan's reputation in Gongsun Yi's heart.
"Deputy commander, two generals, I have a plan. Gu Shuiyue said.
Luo Ning looked at the princess.
Luo Ning's expression was full of regret.
It's okay if they die, but Princess Chen...... It's a pity that the red face turned into dry bones and was buried here with these rough men. The general is sincere to this princess, and if the princess has a good one, the general is really pitiful.
"What is the princess's plan?" asked Deputy Commander Lan.
"Turn the tiger away from the mountain. Gu Shuiyue said.
"How do you turn the tiger away from the mountain?"
"Deputy Commander Lan, how far away is the enemy from us?" Gu Shuiyue asked.
Deputy Commander Lan lay on the ground again, listened carefully for a while, and then said, "It's about five miles away." ”
Gu Shuiyue smiled.
At such a critical moment, her smile was like a gust of wind that washed away the tension.
"Let's go three miles, and we will abandon our horses there. Gu Shuiyue said.
Luo Ning's expression was awe-inspiring: "Does the princess mean to use those horses to divert the tiger away from the mountain? When the enemy hears the sound of horses' hooves, he will inevitably follow the sound of horses' hooves!"
Luo Ning's words fell, and the faces of the three people were amazed.
In fact, they all have the determination to die, and they only want to pull a few more burials before they die. Only Gu Shuiyue still has life in her heart.
So when they heard Gu Shuiyue say the plan, they suddenly realized that there was actually a way out.
"The horses were tethered there, and someone needed to drive them in one direction. Lao Tzu go!" Lan Yuande said.
This lieutenant general has been committed to throwing his head and spilling blood, and when he heard that there was a matter of death, he hurriedly wanted to go.
"You are in a desperate situation to save me, and this matter should be left to me. Luo Ning said.
Gu Shuiyue couldn't help but sneer: "General Luo, your vain appearance, I'm afraid you have already fallen before you have walked three miles away, and at that time, these thousand people will have to be buried with you." ”
"You!" Luo Ning was dumbfounded by her.
"Don't fight, if you fight again, the enemy will come to you. I'll take people there. Gu Shuiyue said.
"Princess, no!" Luo Ning hurriedly said.
There are so many of them, how can they let a woman go to death, and she is still the princess.
Gu Shuiyue didn't pay attention to them at all, but asked the thousand soldiers, "Is there anyone who is fast and willing to go to me to drive horses?"
"Me!"
"I'll go!"
One after another, soldiers stood up. Gu Shuiyue ordered a few smaller ones and set off.
Luo Ning watched the figures of Gu Shuiyue and several soldiers disappear quickly, and said with a wry smile: "The princess is very much like a general, and what she decides is not allowed to be refuted by others at all." ”
Lan Yuande looked frustrated: "Damn, this girl has stolen the limelight from Lao Tzu, she will do everything, if it spreads, how will Lao Tzu mix." ”
Deputy Commander Lan patted Lan Yuande on the shoulder and said, "Big brother, I will mention this matter to the princess at that time, so that she doesn't steal your limelight." ”
"God, don't tell her, wait for her to come up with some way to fix Lao Tzu...... However, if she can live, let her train once, and Lao Tzu will admit it. Lan Yuande muttered.
"Soldiers, go ahead and hide. Take the weapon by your side, if you fail to divert the tiger from the mountain, we will have to fight hard!" Luo Ning said to the soldiers.
Soon, everyone was hiding in the grass, their bodies tense, their hands resting on the hilt of their sword or sword, staring closely in the direction from which the enemy had come.
Deputy Commander Lan had been lying on the ground, listening to the movement in the distance.
Deputy Commander Lan's expression became more and more condensed, the sound of footsteps became clearer and clearer, and the enemy was getting closer and closer.
After about a quarter of an hour, he didn't need to lie on the ground to hear footsteps.
Gu Shuiyue and his soldiers needed to avoid the enemy and cross the three-mile road to reach the place where the horse was bolted. This is still quite difficult to do, and if you can't catch up, or run into the enemy, this plan to divert the tiger from the mountain may fail.
Vice-Commander Lan's hand rested on the hilt of the knife and quietly pulled the knife out of its scabbard. As long as he gives an order, the soldiers who were originally hidden will rush out to fight the enemy......
Thinking of the princess's firm back when she left, Deputy Commander Lan endured it all the time and did not give the last order.
Until he saw the enemy's clothes flashing not far away, as soon as the enemy stepped into the grass, he could discover their presence. Deputy Commander Blue puts the plucked leaves in his mouth and blows them......
At the same time, the neighing of a horse suddenly rang out, resounding throughout the forest.
"They're there!"
"Chase!"
Those who were about to step into the grass all turned in one direction and chased in the direction of the horse's roar!
When all the enemies were gone, Deputy Commander Lan stood up. He touched his back, cold sweat already soaking his clothes.
Luo Ning also stood up, looked in the direction of the horse's neighing, and muttered, "Divert the tiger from the mountain, she did it." ”
Taking advantage of the opportunity to divert the tiger from the mountain, Luo Ning and Deputy Commander Lan led a group of soldiers to flee quickly.
Gu Tianlan was born in Jiangmen and has been working with horses since he was a child. She rode horses at a young age and kept her own foals. Later, she apprenticed to learn the arts, and by the time she came down, the foal had grown into a tall pony. It was a good horse, it was difficult to pick one in a thousand miles, and it had accompanied Gu Tianlan for five years, and Gu Tianlan and her war horse were like friends. Therefore, Gu Tianlan has a special affection for horses, and because of this, she has a special talent in horses.
She had only eight soldiers, each riding a horse, and it was easy to ride, but it was difficult to get the rest of the hundreds of horses to follow.
But Gu Shuiyue did it.
Gu Shuiyue was the leader, two people on the left and right, and three people in the rear, forming an encirclement situation, Gu Shuiyue led the way in front and ran quickly in one direction.
If you look down from the sky at this time, you can see that one man is the leader, and the rest of the horses are closely following, and the great momentum rushes in one direction, and the trees in the mountains and forests are staggered. It was a very spectacular scene, and it was really like thousands of cavalry charging in one direction.
It's almost impossible to do, and the enemy thinks the same way, which is why this trick is so successful.
In the middle of the mountains and forests, riding a horse was not much faster than walking, and the enemy in the rear quickly caught up.
Before they found out that it was a scam, Gu Shuiyue didn't give up her disguise. A little longer if she held on, she would have bought a thousand soldiers more time to escape.
Gu Shuiyue shook the horsewhip vigorously, and the horse under her rushed forward, the wind in her ears whirred, blowing her hair, and her eyes were confused.
I don't know how long I ran, but some of the horses gradually lost their ability to run and gradually fell down.
Gu Shuiyue knew that the enemy would soon see through her plot, so she immediately whistled, she slowed down slightly, and the eight soldiers ran to her side, leaving behind hundreds of war horses, and ran forward with all their might.
Finally, they ran out of the mountains and into the flat land.
This is a mountain col.
There were voices all around, as if thousands of horses were rushing towards her, Gu Shuiyue rode the horse in a circle, and for a while she couldn't tell where to go.
Suddenly, Gu Shuiyue felt a sinister gaze fall on her.
Gu Shuiyue followed that gaze and saw a person standing there on a high stone not far away.
Li Yejin was dressed in black armor and held a bow and arrow in his hand, and at this time he had already pulled the bow apart and was facing her direction.
Gu Shuiyue's expression froze, and a cold breath came out of her heart and spread all over her body.
Li Yejin's archery skills are excellent, the so-called 100 shots and 100 hits, such a distance is a bit far for ordinary people, but for Li Yejin, it is almost easy to shoot arrows into her chest.
The eyes of the two met, and Gu Shuiyue saw a strong killing intent in Li Yejin's eyes.
Presumably, at this time, Li Yejin also realized that he was put on a table that day.
The woman in Gongsun Yi's arms that day was the woman who burned his military rations with a fire, in other words, the woman who burned his grain was Princess Yun Gu Shuiyue!
He watched as the woman who had burned his rations left in front of him.
Gu Shuiyue! This name is not unfamiliar to Li Yejin. The death of the Gu sisters is inseparable from this woman, Tianqing hates her so much that her teeth itch, Li Yejin doesn't take her to heart, it's just a woman.
But that fire completely engraved the woman's name into his heart.
Kill her! Only by killing her can you calm the anger in your breast.
Li Yejin's bow was tightened and tightened, stretched to the limit, and a cruel smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. Gu Shuiyue was already the prey under his claws, no matter how agile she was, she couldn't escape.
However, in the next moment, his body froze.
In the other direction, a man stood with the same bow and arrow in his hand, but aimed at his chest.
It's Gongsun Yi!
Gongsun Yi actually appeared here quietly! And there is one point, every time this woman is in danger, Gongsun Yi will appear, which shows that this woman's position in Gongsun Yi's heart is indeed not low.
Li Yejin was facing Gu Shuiyue's chest, while Gongsun Yi was facing Li Yejin's chest. Now it's a matter of whose arrows are faster.
Although Li Yejin's archery skills are good, he still doesn't dare to hold it up in front of the man known as the god of war.
Li Yejin's body tensed, and his mind was also struggling violently at this time.
Is it really worth gambling with your own life and Gu Shuiyue's life?
But in an instant, Li Yejin had already made a decision.
