Chapter 56: There is an ambush

|||->-> ten minutes passed quickly, and when Guan Yunlong stood up completely, it meant the end of the rest time.

Even though there were a hundred unwilling soldiers in their hearts, since it was the order of the deputy marshal, they naturally did not dare to disobey it at all.

In this way, the team changed to a rush situation again.

A long dragon trotted down the small, winding road, each soldier with a little tiredness on his face. They are no longer as energetic as they were when they first left the barracks. Thinking about it, it was not a long distance, but when I was about to reach my destination, I was informed that the target had suddenly changed, from the enemy barracks on the border to the enemy capital in the distance.

If it weren't for the soldiers in the army, all of them were Guan Yunlong's cronies, it was estimated that they would mutini halfway through.

They drove for about two or three hours until they came to a ravine.

Li Shuangjue looked around from time to time, and his neck was like a round wheel.

And Guan Yunlong also slowed down at this moment, he knew that the canyon area was not suitable for hurrying, because the whole army had been stretched a little long, and it was easy to cause the loss and fracture of the end of the head and tail.

As a result, Guan Guan Yunlong slowed down the speed of the horse, and also looked at the surrounding environment from afar.

"Vice Marshal, where are we here?" Li Shuangjue asked casually.

The horses of the two men were almost parallel to each other, corresponding to the fact that they were both senior officers with higher positions than the soldiers.

Guan Yunlong glanced slightly to the side, "We are almost at the end of the hill. As shown on the map, as long as we walk out of this canyon, the road in front of us can be said to be flat. ”

"Oh?

"That's how it shows on the map. ”

"Oh!" Li Shuangjue nodded slightly. However, he still knew one thing, there was obviously a dense forest outside Qingse City, and the name was called Misty Woodland.

The main reason for this name is that if it weren't for the sunny day, the forest would often be foggy.

Li Shuangjue thought that even if they walked out of the hilly area in the center, it would be more than four days away from the Qingse Castle Conservative. The soldiers, including themselves, were already tired, and they didn't know if they would be able to make it to Kiyose Castle.

At this time, Li Shuangjue already regretted it in his heart, he thought that Guan Yunlong's behavior was greedy and reckless, and he had almost put the 20,000 army in danger.

However, whether it was for him or the soldiers who followed in the rear, they could only rush down now.

"That...... Deputy Marshal Guan! I have a proposal!" Li Shuangjue leaned to the side in a low voice, his body suddenly a little crooked.

"What's wrong? What's the proposal?"

"Vice Marshal Guan! Can we choose to rest in a small town after we get out of this canyon! At least our troops need supplies!"

Guan Yunlong didn't even think about it, so he directly vetoed it, "No! No! We can't delay a little longer, we must rush to Zhiqingse City desperately, so that we can win the victory!"

"Ah, but our army has no supplies! If we run out of food, we still choose to hurry. That morale ......"

"Hmph!hehe!" Guan Yunlong suddenly let out a strange and sharp laugh, "Out of food? How can we run out of food? Every soldier has dry food in his bag, how can he ever run out of food?"

"But...... It's no match for a steaming meal! If it's just a few dry rations, the soldiers will ......."

"I said no! My soldier has never been one of those young master soldiers with a mouthful of mouths. They are also aware of their responsibilities at the moment, so they will never covet any steaming meals. ”

Li Shuangjue's face changed slightly, judging from the current situation, Guan Yunlong would not choose to set up a camp somewhere first, and wait until the physical strength was restored and the supplies were obtained, and then he would act.

In desperation, Li Shuangjue could only close his mouth in compromise, and he began to look around again, thinking that it would be better to wait until he got out of the canyon before talking!

The canyon is also too eerie, with steep cliffs on both sides.

Li Shuangjue continued to pull the horsewhip and drive the horse around, but he could not calm down in his heart. He hurriedly turned his head again, hoping to see what the state of the soldiers who were walking at the back was now.

However, perhaps because the troops were really stretched too long, the soldiers in the rear were so endless that they could not see the final end at all.

Alas, Li Shuangjue could only talk in a deflated manner, and was able to straighten his face again.

"What's wrong? Li Shuangjue! Are you very disappointed now?"

Hearing Guan Yunlong's words suddenly, Li Shuangjue's action of swallowing saliva into his stomach quickly stiffened. Quickly turning his head to the side, he saw Guan Yunlong's smiling face.

"Ahh......h

"I know what you're thinking right now. I guess you should regret it very much! I think at this moment, we can't reach Kiyose Castle!"

Li Shuangjue's eyelids trembled rapidly, and he did indeed question Guan Yunlong's risky behavior a little. He didn't intend to explain anything, he just fell silent.

"But it will turn out that your worries are unfounded. Saran has no resistance at all, and all of their elite are currently in the Yokoga military camp, facing off against our Lian Yunpo troops. In other words, there is no force in this country that threatens us. ”

After hearing this, the corners of Li Shuangjue's mouth twitched slightly, "Is it? Deputy Marshal! Then I hope so!"

"Don't be so unconfident, what I say is the truth. Even if our form is not good, without any threat, we can still win by lying down. So...... So......" Guan Yunlong began to look straight ahead excitedly.

Li Shuangjue didn't know where that person's self-confidence came from. But since he insisted that the strategy he used would definitely succeed, Li Shuangjue himself couldn't say anything.

Now he just wants to get out of this canyon as soon as possible.

The sight of mountains on both sides had already made him a little breathless. He wanted to get to a flat place as soon as possible, at least to relax his mind.

However, Guan Yunlong was still self-absorbed with the 'success' of his own methods, and the words in his mouth never stopped, "We must be able to reach Qingse City." At that time, it is estimated that there will be no need to fight, as long as the siege is for a while, the Sarans inside will surrender. ”

"Oh, Vice Marshal Guan! It's really like you say, it's really good!"

"The truth will be as I said, and our troops will eventually stand on the top of Kiyose Castle. Then wait for the king's reward."

Li Shuangjue lowered his head again and made an inner mockery to the deputy marshal next to him.

"Li Shuangjue, don't doubt my words. If I dare to take the risk, I will win!"

"So, Deputy Marshal, I just want to ask, how much time do we have to get out of this canyon?" Li Shuangjue's neck was crooked, and his two lips were pressed together after the question.

Guan Yunlong chuckled casually, "Did you ask me when I walked out of the canyon? Oh! It's hard to be precise! But...... I don't think it's going to be too long. Look at these cliffs......"

Guan Yunlong freed his hand to grasp the reins of the horse and pointed to the mountains on both sides, "The terrain is relatively short, I believe we will be able to get out of the canyon soon." According to the map, the center of Saran is the most dangerous terrain, as long as you pass through this place, you will reach Kiyose Castle. ”

"You are too optimistic, even if you walk out of the mountains and hills in the center, it will take at least a few days!" Li Shuangjue lowered his eyelids slightly.

However, Guan Yunlong was extremely correct in saying that they were indeed about to get out of this annoying canyon.

So Li Shuangjue unconsciously has accelerated his horse speed a little. He didn't care if the soldiers in the rear could keep up, he just wanted to get some fresh air now.

Seeing this, Guan Yunlong, who was lagging behind, hooked his lips and smiled, "Hahaha! Li Shuangjue! Don't be too anxious, it's only a matter of time before you get out of the canyon." “

"I know that, but I just want to hurry...... Hurry up!Hurry up!" Li Shuangjue's gaze was unusually firm.

"Yes, you're right! Just be faster, and I just emphasized very clearly that all our actions today should be based on 'fast'. If you act quickly, you will win. ”

Li Shuangjue's eyes were put back and glanced quickly, he felt that this deputy marshal was talking a lot of nonsense, since he could get out of the canyon, then he just walked silently and quickly, why did he have to say so many words intermittently!

But Guan Yunlong was still self-absorbed, "We will win soon, after getting out of this canyon, we will continue to work hard, and we will run directly to Qingse City." I guess almost none of the Sarans reacted! I can't wait to enjoy the accolades. I've been thinking about what kind of thoughts Lian Yunpo will have to deal with when he learns the news of our victory? Will it be very embarrassing? Ahhhh I don't even know what his expression was like when he got there......"

Guan Yunlong's loud voice continued, and Li Shuangjue wanted to cover his ears a little and didn't want to listen anymore.

"You old man's tail is about to rise to the sky, so let's wait until you really enter Qingse City, and then think about the breath in your heart!" Li Shuangjue muttered the words in his mouth, and continued to ride forward slowly with an irritated expression.

But at a certain point in time, it should be said that he was completely unaware of it, he seemed to feel something. He jerked his head up, feeling the changes in his surroundings with the spirit of an assassin.

"This ...... Here ......" The reins of the horse held by Li Shuangjue in his hand were also tightly lifted up by him.

His movements caused the horses he was riding to stop. Although the horse seemed to have a little resistance, it still stopped on the whole.

"Here...... Here......"

Guan Yunlong, who was in the rear, hadn't noticed anything yet, he slowly walked forward and approached Li Shuangjue, "Many high-ranking officials in Shengyang City used to despise me a little. They all think that I am old, and this old bone is no longer able to fight! But what will they think when I step into Seisse Castle? I guess they will be shocked! They may not even be able to speak......

Guan Yunlong was almost close to Li Shuangjue in front of him, but after observing his abnormal behavior, he immediately stopped. He pulled his whip hard, and the horse he was riding began to wander uneasily.

Finally controlled the horses, Guan Yunlong quickly sent an accusation to Li Shuangjue, "Hey, why are you talking like that?"

Unexpectedly, when Li Shuangjue's face came, Guan Yunlong learned an extremely uneasy look from it.

"You didn't notice anything out of the ordinary?"

Listening to Li Shuangjue's inquiry, Guan Yunlong quickly looked around.

The soldiers in the rear saw that the two commanders had stopped, and they themselves all stopped moving forward. However, since there was no order in front of them, the soldiers behind continued to walk as if they did not know anything.

As a result, a large number of soldiers collided with each other, causing a slight confusion in the troops.

After Guan Yunlong came back to his senses, he immediately pulled the reins of the horse, causing the horse to turn its head around, "Hey, everyone, don't mess up! Don't mess up!" After pacifying his soldiers, Guan Yunlong also turned his head ninety degrees, "Li Shuangjue, what's going on?"

Li Shuangjue didn't have the time to respond to others now, he continued to capture the grass and trees around him. But it didn't take long for him to close the two.

Although there was no big movement around, Li Shuangjue smelled a threat from it. The threat permeated almost every part of his senses, making him suddenly extremely uneasy.

Suddenly, although he closed his eyes, he could see everything around him. Some trees were inadvertently blown off, and the cliffs on both sides were occasionally dropping some dust.

"Ahh......h

Guan Yunlong finally realized something at this moment, he began to look around sharply, and his breathing was also speeding up, "This...... Over here...... Oh! no......"

When the word 'no' came out of his mouth, a large amount of light rushed to his eye mask in the distance.

"Ahh......h

"Marshal Guan!

The area covered by the light was more and more, and within a while, there was only a white halo left in front of Guan Yunlong's eyes. He knew that the enemy was already attacking him at this moment, and he also understood how urgent the situation was.

"No!" came out of his mouth howling, and Guan Yunlong flew into the air and jumped up.

As he leapt into the air, he saw beneath him, the horse he had been riding, swallowed up by a terrible halo. In an instant, the horse, which weighed hundreds of kilograms, was completely struck into the distance.

Guan Yunlong gasped for this, he knew that if he hadn't jumped up just now, it would have been his body that had been hit far away.

"This ...... Ah......" After he reflected, his head began to move in all directions indiscriminately, "who? Who is so despicable that he actually attacked the old man?"

Without much time to settle, Guan Yunlong landed on the ground. But he didn't stop looking around, he was still following the culprit who had just attacked him.

But suddenly, Guan Yunlong thought of something after taking a deep breath.

The halo that attacked him just now must have been the swordsman's skill shockwave. So, the one who attacked him just now must be a swordsman.

"Swordsman!" Guan Yunlong shouted out of thin air, "Which swordsman is so shameless and came to attack Lao Tzu?"

After Li Shuangjue heard it, he continued to pull the reins of the horse. The horses he rode on were also moving with the flowers, "Yes! It's a sneak attack! The strange place just now is because there are ...... Yes...... Yes...... "Oh no!" he shouted at the soldiers in the rear, "there's an ambush! there's an ambush! we're in...... An ambush area for the enemy!"

When the soldiers heard this, they showed a tendency to be extremely confused, and most of them looked around in panic.

"Don't yell nonsense!" Guan Yunlong immediately roared angrily.

The old marshal's roar was very effective, at least it shook the army that was about to collapse.

"Deputy Marshal Guan......"

"We ......"

"We seem to be ......"

The uneasy words of many soldiers quickly came from his ears, and Guan Yunlong could only tear his throat to shoot back, "Don't make any noise! calm me down!"

Seeing that the soldiers were indeed no longer shouting indiscriminately, Guan Yunlong shouted to the surroundings, "Who? Who attacked me just now? Do you have the ability to stand up, don't hide?"

Because he was in a canyon, his every cry was full of echoes, and even spread to every corner of the valley.

Following Guan Yunlong's shout, a figure finally appeared soon after. He was standing on the cliff on the left, his figure unusually erect. Probably due to his back to the sun, he is in a state of shadow. However, only a cursory glance could be seen in his hand holding a long giant sword.

"Are you...... Who are you?" Guan Yunlong's eyes were gradually widening.

Soon, the shadow finally revealed its full appearance, but to everyone's surprise, the individual who emerged from the shadow turned out to be a woman.

At this moment, Guan Yunlong and the soldiers he brought with him almost all showed a shocked look.

Especially Li Shuangjue, his jaw was about to fall to the ground. But after a short time, he suddenly tightened his jaw, and with a loud 'ah' sound, he shouted the answer in his mind.

"Ahh......h She's ...... That young marshal of Saran?"

Guan Yunlong also seemed to be awakened, and he began to look at the woman on the cliff in astonishment, "What? she? she is the ...... That name is ...... A female marshal of Saran called Shen Mengting?"
