Chapter 539: Corpses Everywhere (12)
"General Hu, someone is coming."
The scout captain hurried over, gasping for breath and saying, apparently seeing something from a distance, and hurried back.
"If you come here, you will come here, we have been here for three days, and we don't see more than a dozen waves of deserters passing by here one day, what is there to make a fuss about such a trivial matter?"
Li Zhaodi was dissatisfied with the scout captain's urgency, raised her hand and knocked him on the head, and scolded loudly.
The scout captain rubbed his head and muttered a few words with some dissatisfaction, Li Zhaodi's eyes widened, and he raised his hand to come again, Hu Xian grabbed Li Zhaodi, and said in a deep voice: "Let him finish speaking." ”
The scout glanced at Li Zhaodi with a smile, and he was not afraid, he was Li Zhaodi's old subordinate, and the relationship between the two was very good.
"Thirty miles away, a group of remnants of soldiers, numbering more than a thousand, are marching this way."
Li Zhaodi frowned and said: "It's still a group of deserters, but there are more people, nothing strange." ”
"You're wrong, it means there's a big fish coming."
Li Zhaodi looked at Hu Xian, saw the joy on his face, and asked puzzledly, "Why are you so sure?" ”
Hu Xian said with a smile: "What is called stragglers, if it is a deserter, everyone goes their own way, even if they gather together, it is also a brother unit of the same battalion, but the number will never be very large, as far as the remnants and deserters are concerned, they can gather a team of thousands of people, which can only show one point, there must be a leader with a high position among them, at least a general." ”
Li Zhaodi nodded again and again when she heard this, her face suddenly had excitement, and the two sides patted each other, and said with great joy: "If we catch a general at the level of a Tubo general, you and I will at least be promoted to one level." ”
Li Zhaodi is now just a Lang general, and he has been in this position for several years, just because he has no relationship with the backer, he has never been promoted, if he can capture a Tubo general, it is a big credit, and it should not be a big problem to be promoted to a Zhonglang general afterwards, thinking of this, Li Zhaodi is excited.
Hu Xianzhi was not so excited, because he had already been mentally prepared in advance, it was naturally best to catch a big fish, and it didn't matter if he couldn't catch it, so he didn't have as much ups and downs as Li Zhaodi's mood.
"Two hundred people were ambushed on the left and right slopes, Li Zhaodi led 300 people around, and I led 500 people to intercept it head-on, everyone cheered up, don't let one go, whether you want to be promoted or not, it's up to you."
Hu Xian quickly gave the battle order, everyone was in high spirits, a prisoner is not only a merit, but also a few taels of silver, this is really a great opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune.
This group of more than 1,000 deserters, it was Gewa and his party, they successfully broke through from the weak place of the Jin army, but this was only the beginning, Hong Chenghao led the army to chase to the death, Gewa fled all the way east, with heavy casualties, half a day's effort, there were only about 3,000 people left around, and finally Saddle Moo led 2,000 people to break the queen, sacrificing his life to take righteousness, and then the exchange of Gewa finally escaped successfully, and went to Broken Dragon Castle.
After escaping for so long, everyone was extremely tired, so they stopped and rested for a while.
Gerva sat on a rock, very depressed, and Cooke brought him a kettle, and Gerva drank it in a big gulp, and the fatigue on his body was relieved a little as the cold water went down.
Cook said softly: "Saddle Moo alone hasn't arrived yet, I'm afraid it's too bad luck." ”
Gerva had a cold face and didn't speak, he didn't care at all about the life or death of Saddle Moo, he only cared about himself.
Cook was silent, until now, he finally fully saw that Gewa was a person, selfish, brutal, ruthless, Saddle Moo Duyi had a good personal relationship with himself, and when a friend was killed, how could he have no sadness in his heart, not to mention that Saddle Moo Dudu had followed Gueva for many years, and had been loyal, and was chased and killed by the Jin army before, and it was also after Saddle Moo Dudu fought to the death, which won life for Gewa, but what was the result? Ge Wahe had a trace of sadness and sadness.
Cook sighed in his heart, no longer thinking about it, it's already like this, it's better to think more about his life and death, he whispered to Gewa: "King, this place is less than fifty miles away from Broken Dragon Castle, continue to hurry, you should be able to reach it before dawn." ”
Gueva nodded, stood up, and rested for most of the hour, although still very tired, but finally breathed a sigh of relief, much better than before.
At this time, a mid-ranking officer came over and told the count of the number of people, and there were a little more than nine hundred left, of which nearly a hundred were injured in various ways.
Gerva said coldly: "Those who can hurry continue to hurry, and those who are unable to move stay where they are and wait." ”
Await? It won't be long before the Jin army will chase after you and stay where you are, that is, wait for death!
The mid-ranking officer glanced at Cook, who shook his head slightly, what else could the mid-ranking officer say, gave him a hug, turned to leave, and conveyed the order.
"Here we are."
The scout came to report.
Hu Xian was in high spirits, and gave orders to the left and right in a low voice: "Act according to the order, and those who delay the fighter will be killed." ”
With that, Hu Xian led 500 infantry to the corner at the end of the narrow road and ambushed him.
Gewa rode a horse and walked in the middle of the team, his eyes scanned the surroundings from time to time, here he knew, called Wanglongpo, is a small road for Broken Dragon Fort to enter Longyou Road, the first battle of Longyou, Tubo was defeated, Gewa was defeated, it was this path that was taken, the second battle of Longyou, Gewa's identity has changed dramatically, leading hundreds of thousands of troops to Longyou, naturally taking the big road, but for Wanglongpo, Gewa has always been impressed.
Halfway through, a bright light flashed, very faint, and no one noticed, but Gewa's spirit had been highly concentrated, and although it was weak, he was still captured.
There was an ambush.
It was the first instinct in Gueva's mind, and he always trusted his instincts.
Gewa immediately took the bow and arrow from the hands of the soldiers beside him, and shot an arrow at the woods on the hillside on the side, without any movement, many people looked at Gewa in surprise, not knowing what he was doing.
But seeing this scene, Gewa's eyes suddenly contracted, there were many birds and beasts in the woods, and when the arrows passed, there would usually be birds that were alarmed and flew away, but now they were as quiet as ever, which was unreasonable, which meant that someone had entered it before, and all the birds and beasts that had inhabited there had been frightened away.
Cook also sensed that something was wrong, looked at Gerva, and was about to speak, Gerva stretched out his hand to stop it, and roared in a low voice: "You lead the front army of four hundred people to speed up, immediately, immediately." ”
Cook's face changed slightly, and he suddenly thought of something, and his expression hesitated, but when he saw Gerva's gloomy gaze, and his palm pressed on the hilt of the sword, his eyes were murderous, and Cook knew that he had no choice, so he could only grit his teeth, give an order to the left and right, and lead the four hundred people to accelerate forward.
