Chapter 574: Trapped
"Childe, there is the Flying Dragon Cliff in front, and the master has already gone to the intersection in front of me to investigate. He told everyone to stop and don't cross the Wyvern Cliff for a while. ”
There is still the Flying Dragon Cliff not far away, and Wang Qing came to Liu Xian at this time.
This place is less than a mile away from the Flying Dragon Cliff, that is, it is still hundreds of meters away.
Here, it is the intersection of three intersections from north to south.
Liu Xian's group came from the official road in the middle, and there were two small roads on the left and right. To the left, it leads to the bank of the Fen River to reach other places. On the right, there is a road that runs through some mountains in the interior.
The three roads converge into one road, passing under the Flying Dragon Cliff, and after passing, after a mile or two, there will be a fork in the road leading to another place. The main official road leads to the intersection of the Fen River and the mouth of the Yellow River, and goes directly to the ferry to cross the river. Of course, there is also a county town there, just on the west bank of the Fen River. If they can't catch up, Xu Lang and his party can go to that county town to rest for the night first, and then cross the river to the east of the river tomorrow morning.
"Got to the Wyvern Cliff? Okay, let's take a break. When your master returns, pass through the Flying Dragon Cliff. ”
Liu Xian turned over and dismounted, and said to Wang Qingdao.
"Rose, Shadow, you and your sisters should come down and breathe."
Liu Xian followed and said to the women in the carriage.
There were several carriages, three of which were carrying people, and the others were loaded with her delicate dowry.
"It's said that we can all ride horses, and we don't have to sit in the carriage, it's really suffocating."
got out of the carriage to Liqiang Rose, came to Liu Xian's side, held Liu Xian and said, "Miss Wang Qing can ride a horse, why don't you let us ride a horse?" ”
Liu Xian scratched her Xiao Yao nose and said, "You can figure it out, it's not me who let you ride a horse, it's your brother and their grandfather and father who let them ride in the carriage, they don't allow you to ride a horse, and the carriage is also prepared for you." ”
"Okay, brother, they all said that Han women are different from our tribesmen, you Han women are virtuous and don't show your face, let us all pay attention to the etiquette of your Han people, and we can't lose your face as Marquis Wu Yong." Rose pouted.
"Haha, you guys are also very cute, people everywhere, no matter what nationality they are, will have some habits and customs. You don't have to worry about the red tape, you can do whatever you want, just be yourself. So you are you. Of course, some good customs and some fine traditions are still worth learning and spreading. Anyway, Han women are as good as Han women, and you are also good as yours. ”
"Yes, husband, you said it so well."
"Well, if according to your customs, what is this called husband? It seems natural for us Han women to call their husbands husbands, but you always feel a little awkward to call them husbands. ”
"We, we call you Brother."
"Then you can call me Brother from now on."
"Okay, then I'll call you Brother from now on."
"No problem. Well...... Wait, our spies are back, I'll ask them first. ”
Liu Xian stopped their talking, walked to the road and waited for the spies who came back from the four investigations.
Liu Xian came all the way from Zengshan County.
I don't think there's any danger though. However, he will not take it lightly, and will definitely send spies to investigate all the way from front to back, left and right.
If it's okay, these spies don't need to come and report to Liu Xian all the time. Generally, some code marks will be made on the road to tell Liu Xian that nothing is wrong, so that Liu Xian's team can continue to move forward.
Now that he was here, Wang Yue had already gone to the front to reconnoiter the situation first, and asked Liu Xian to stop and wait for news. Here, Liu Xian already knew that in front of this, his own people had not yet detected it, or had not yet determined whether the front was safe. Otherwise, there would be no need for Wang Yue to go out to reconnoitre.
These things may be very troublesome for others, is it necessary to be so careful to go from one place to another, and always worry that they will be ambushed by the enemy or something?
Of course, this is necessary, and if it is in a peaceful and prosperous world, then you only need to be a little more careful. But is it a time of peace and prosperity? The current big man, but in the era when robbers are infested and may be looted at any time, can you be careless?
As the saying goes, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.
Liu Xian is not unaware that this is not only a problem of this era, but also a problem that many people want to put themselves to death.
The Han court, from top to bottom, how many people want to die now?
If you're not careful, you'll hate it for life.
It was not easy to travel to this ancient era of the Three Kingdoms, and it was not easy to develop to the point where it is today. In addition, Liu Xian is still young, but he doesn't want to die young.
For Liu Xian and these horses, when others find it troublesome, they are used to it.
No matter where you go from here, there's always a process in between.
A road is nothing more than left, left, right, front, front and back.
Every time you cross a mountain, every village, every bridge. If there is danger, there are always some signs.
If there are bandits and robbers hidden in a mountain forest, as long as you are careful and go to investigate, you can always find something. It doesn't take much effort. No ambush is naturally best, but what if? Then this can be a doom for the teams behind you.
"Report!"
"Report to Marquis Wu Yong, we found something suspicious, but we are not very sure."
came to report to the soldiers, knelt down on one knee in front of Liu Xian, and reported to Liu Xian.
"Oh? What is the suspicious condition? “
"Xiaohu, come on."
It wasn't just one person who came back together, but several.
"Yes! Marquis Wu Yong, our reconnaissance team is responsible for the movement in the right direction of our team. Let's walk along the road first, and we have investigated some places along the road where the terrain and terrain are more suitable for ambushes, and we have found nothing. Then, when we came to this intersection, we saw that this road, there was a long way to balance with our main official road, so we were a little curious, and we investigated along this fork road. ”
"Well, then what." Liu Xian asked.
And then ...... Nothing was found, and the captain and the others went back. But I may have eaten something unclean this morning...... I got into the woods, and the captain and they were gone, but my horse forgot to tie it up, and went down the fork of the road. I finally caught up, but I saw a large group of Hun cavalry behind me. ”
"Huh? Hun cavalry? Do you see clearly? ”
"If you see it clearly, you can't be wrong. The cavalry, they estimated that there would be thousands, were hiding in a forest there to rest. I was startled and quickly escaped with my horse quietly. ”
"So, how far are the Hun cavalry from us?"
"It's not far, only four or five miles away at most."
"Four or five miles away?" Liu Xian's eyes narrowed when he heard this.
Four or five miles, that is, more than two kilometers, this is very close. The cavalry could be killed in less than ten minutes. Was it premeditated? Is it the cavalry of Yufuluo?
In this upper county and northern place, thousands of Hun cavalry can be dispatched, that is, Yu Fuluo. Last time he escaped in the Ventilation Valley, I guess he didn't give up, and he still wanted to attack himself?
However, now Liu Xian only has these hundreds of people, and he still has to protect these women of his own. It's really not easy.
Waiting four or five miles away? So behind the official road where he came, were there also some Hun cavalry?
"...... of the Worth"
Ahead, Wang Yue Pegasus passed through the Flying Dragon Cliff and quickly came to Liu Xian.
"Lord, there is an ambush ahead, and they are all Hun cavalry."
Wang Yue said directly.
"There are also ...... ahead" When Liu Xian heard it, he felt that something was wrong, was this to surround himself?
Before and after this Flying Dragon Cliff, there are only a few intersections, if there are thousands of cavalry ambushed at each intersection, Liu Xian feels that it is really a bit of a feeling that it is impossible to escape. It doesn't matter to you, with masters like Wang Yue and Wang Qing to protect you, you should still be able to fight your way out of the encirclement. However, these women of their own, as well as these five or six hundred personal soldiers, I am afraid that they will have to be confessed here.
Liu Xian came to this world, and he really hasn't suffered such a loss.
"Careless! I didn't expect Yu Fuluo to give me such a big picture. They didn't ambush us along the way, they just waited for us to get here, and then they killed us from all the roads, and then tried to kill me Liu Xian under this Flying Dragon Cliff. Hehe, it's really calculating. ”
"Lord, I suggest that Wang escort the lord away, let's not take these roads, just go over some mountains and leave." Wang Yue suggested.
"Young master, what Master Wang Yue said is right, please leave with Master Wang Yue immediately."
Zheng Bo also hurriedly said at this time.
"Don't worry, think of a way."
Liu Xian didn't agree, it was naturally safe for him to leave, but it is estimated that none of the people here can escape.
"What else do you want? This is no joke. We only have this little bit of men and horses here, and it is impossible to withstand the charge of so many cavalry of the Huns. Young master, you just listen to my advice and leave with Master Wang Yue quickly. My old life, even if I confess here, it doesn't matter, but I can't let the young master have a loss, otherwise, I'm sorry for the master and wife under the spring. ”
Zheng Bo...... Don't worry, there's really no need to rush. Haven't the Huns yet launched an attack on us? Although Liu Xian felt that things were a little critical, he didn't feel that it was really a dead end.
At least, none of the five or six hundred people are vegetarians, not to mention that there is a super master like Wang Yue here?
Now, Liu Xian feels that it is necessary to find out why those Huns have not done it yet.
The current situation is that the Huns have waved their troops out of various intersections, and their own group has only one dead end. But it's been a while, why hasn't there been any movement?
Perhaps, they are also killing. But at this moment, there was really no movement. Liu Xian wanted to know what Yu Fuluo was waiting for.
"But, young master, if you wait until they attack, it will be too late." Zheng Bo was really anxious at this moment.
"I'm leaving...... You're done! Right! ”
Liu Xian suddenly grasped something, and said: "No matter why Yu Fuluo hasn't attacked yet, but it is certain that their main target must be me Liu Xian!" They set up such a game, not to kill you, but to kill me. And I'm ...... now."
"What's wrong?"
Liu Xian suddenly raised his head and looked at the Flying Dragon Cliff in front of him.
Although he didn't see anything, Liu Xian always felt as if something was staring at him there.
"Wang Yue Sword Master, do you think there will be any problems on the Flying Dragon Cliff?"
"This ...... The Wyvern Cliff is too steep for me to investigate...... Why don't you go up and check it out now? “
"No, no."
On the Flying Dragon Cliff, there are no ambushes and horses, this, in fact, can also be seen at a glance. Even if they ambushed the men and horses, when they really wanted to attack their own group, it would be difficult for them to kill them directly from above.
Liu Xian waved his hand and said: "There may be an ambush above, but the number of people will definitely not be large." I guess they're waiting for me up there? Fortunately, you asked me to wait here for a while, and I didn't pass this Flying Dragon Cliff right away, otherwise, the ambushes at various intersections would have been killed long ago. ”
At this moment, although Liu Xian couldn't think about how Yu Fuluo was going to deal with him, Liu Xian felt that his feelings were not wrong. Yu Fuluo's purpose was actually to kill himself. As for the others, it doesn't matter if they kill or not.
And if you want to kill yourself, this is definitely not something that you can kill yourself by letting all kinds of military horses rush out. He wants to kill himself first, and then let all the people come out, this is a double insurance.
Case......
Liu Xian said at this time: "Yes, Wang Yue Sword Master, Ben Hou will give you an order." ”
"Wang Yue listens to orders!"
"Ben Hou ordered you to escort the ladies to leave first, but not through the Wyvern Cliff, but from this path. In front of this path, it is estimated that there will be Hun cavalry lurking, so you can kill those Hun ambushes for them and protect them from leaving. These hundreds of pro-soldiers are also with you. ”
"What? That's not going to work! ”
"Yu Fuluo's men and horses are estimated to be limited, not long ago, he lost more than 20,000 men and horses. Now, even if he has more men, it will definitely not exceed 20,000 people. Liu Xian ignored Wang Yuede's objection, and then said: "On the other side of the Flying Dragon Cliff, how many intersections are there near the Flying Dragon Cliff?" ”
"Here, after the Flying Dragon Cliff, there are three or four intersections on the road less than two miles."
"Well, then with the three intersections here now, according to the fact that he has 20,000 military horses, at each intersection, he will arrange at most two or three thousand cavalry to hide. Wang Yue Sword Master, you lead five or six hundred personal soldiers, against two thousand or three thousand cavalry, what are the chances of victory? ”
"The path is not conducive to cavalry charges, let's take advantage of the terrain, there is still a chance to defeat them."
"Okay, that's it, you take your own soldiers and escort a few ladies back from that path. And I, just under the Wyvern Cliff, attracted them. ”
