Sure enough, in less than half a day, he found that there were scattered people living there, and Qiu Yundu ordered to Chao Tu again: "Continue to go and loot, and still leave only three or five people to report as before, but this action must be swift." ”

Soon the nest Tu returned again, everyone was drenched in blood, but they were all carrying heavy packages on their backs, and it seemed that there was indeed a lot of looted beef and mutton.

Everyone cooperated and traveled southwest for about half a day, and Qiuyundu suddenly ordered the whole army to stop, at this time Zongyi returned, and reported to Qiuyundu: "There are soldiers from the Hequ Department stationed in the west of here, about 10,000 people; And directly south of this place, there are also about 20,000 soldiers stationed in the rice capture department. ”

Qiu Yundu nodded and said to Zongyi: "You work hard, go to the northwest and see if there is any movement in the Zhong Cun Department." ”

After Zongyi left, Qiuyun explained his thoughts to everyone: "Now we are in danger, there are enemy troops intercepted in front, and there is no way to retreat, so we have no choice but to escape from the territory of the Hequ Department, but our army's goal is too big, if we can't cause chaos, we will inevitably be surrounded by the Hequ Department, so I ordered the Chao Tu to loot two places in succession, so that the Hequ Department thought that it was the hand of the Mi Capture Department." Counting the one of the oxen, the plundering and slaying of the people in these three places will surely arouse the wrath of the river meander, and if I had expected it to be right, they would have gathered their army and rushed towards the camp of the Michu tribe due south; Zhong Cunbu has always been friendly with the Hequ Department, and relying on the Hequ Department does not dare to easily confront the Mi Capture Department, I expect that now the Zhong Cunbu has also received the news and is sending reinforcements to arrive, and this is the only way for Zhong Cunjun. ”

When everyone heard this, Niu Ben hurriedly said, "Then what are we waiting for here, hurry up?" Otherwise, as soon as Zhong Cunjun comes, how can we fight strongly? ”

Qiu Yundu shook his head and smiled: "Of course we can't fight against them, we have to pretend to be the Hequ army, and only after deceiving Zhong Cunjun can we escape along the road from which Zhong Cunjun came." ”

"Can you fool them?" ”

Qiu Yundu smiled: "I can't help but they don't believe it." Nest leader, you take Gai Ying and the 500 people who went to loot to protect the labor leader and hide around as soon as possible, and when Zhong Cunjun comes, I will deal with them, and once I find them passing, I will flee to the northwest as soon as possible, and then I will bring people to meet you. ”

Chao Suotu exclaimed: "How can this be? Let his subordinates go to deal with them, and the young master will lead people to hide. ”

Qiu Yundu pointed to the body painted on the nest and said, "How do you deal with them like this?" ”

Chao Tu looked down and saw that he was almost covered in blood, not only himself, but also the five hundred sergeants he brought with him almost all became bloody people, and when Chao Tu Deng understood that Qiu Yundu had already decided to deal with it in person and let himself and others escape, he couldn't help but be moved in his heart, and choked up: "Young master, ......"

Qiu Yundu stopped him and said, "Don't worry about me, I have my own way to get out." ”

At this moment, he saw Zongyi returning from a distance, and before he reached Qiu Yundu, he shouted: "About 15,000 sergeants of the Zhong Cun Department are rushing here. ”

Qiu Yundu did not hesitate any longer, and immediately ordered Chao Suotu and others to hide, and he took Zongyi and Niu Ben to wait for him, and when he saw Zhong Cunjun just showing a shadow, Qiu Yundu let out a low cry and led everyone to rush straight to Zhong Cunjun.

Before he got closer, Qiu Yundu had already shouted: "It's Zhong Cun's reinforcements coming from ahead?" "Leave the crowd behind, and rush forward with only the oxen.

Zhong Cunjun is currently about thirty years old, glanced at Qiu Yundu and said: "Exactly, I am the head of the 10,000 regiments of the Zhong Cun Division, and I have led 15,000 soldiers of the Zhong Cun Department to come." ”

Qiu Yundu said: "Thank you for your efforts, I came to inform Gui Yan Shou on the order of the whole head, Gui Yu can lead the army straight to the south to meet our sergeants, and the head of the whole will lead the army to go later." ”

Gui Yinsheng said strangely: "The head of the whole came in person this time? ”

Qiu Yundu nodded and said: "Yes, the movement of the Mi Capture Department this time is extremely unusual, and the head of the Mi Capture Department is worried that they have other intentions, so he came in person, and also asked me to wait for the west to inquire about the movements of the Fei Listening Department." ”

Gui Yinsheng was shocked in his heart, and said to Qiu Yundu: "In this case, please leave, and after listening to the movements of Fei Tingbu, I hope that the leader will inform me." ”

Qiu Yundu nodded and obeyed: "If there is any movement in the Fei Ting Department, it will be a great threat to the Zhong Cun Department, and the head of the Quan Quan Ming ordered us to notify the head of Gui Yan first once we find that there is an abnormality in the Fei Ting Department." ”

Gui Yinsheng heard that the whole head was so thoughtful, he couldn't help but put his mind at ease, and hurriedly asked Qiu Yundu to rush west as soon as possible.

When Gui Yinsheng drove past with 15,000 sergeants and was out of sight, Qiu Yundu and the others relaxed and turned straight north, but it was not long before they met Chao Suotu and others.

This time, after Qiu Yundu's astute response, this iron cavalry army escaped from the encirclement without danger. This process seems simple, but the prediction of details fully reflects Qiu Yundu's understanding of the whole situation and his grasp of the mentality of all parties. But even so, the good luck of Qiu Yundu and the others has come to an end, and the next period of time is their real life and death test.

Qiu Yundu gathered everyone in the dense forest to trim. Qiu Yundu sat on the ground, and sat next to Lao Yan, Chao Suo, and Gai Ying. Qiu Yundu has not said a word since he got out of the encirclement, but just lowered his head and pondered. At this time, Niu Ben and Zong Yi approached with laughter and laughter, and heard Niu Ben happily and loudly say from a distance: "I really obeyed the young master, and I got out unharmed in such a dangerous situation, hahahaha......"

"Oxben!" A loud shout interrupted Niu Ben's words, Niu Ben looked up, only to see the nest Tu Zheng looking at him with a shocked face, Niu Ben didn't react to what was going on, the nest Tu had already shouted: "You disobeyed the young master's military order, killed the people in vain, so that I will die for nine lives, can you be guilty?" ”

Niu Ben has always been afraid of the nest, and when he heard this, his voice suddenly became much lower, and he argued in a low voice: "Isn't this okay......"

"Get on your knees!"

Niu Ben was stunned for a moment, looked at Qiu Yundu, who was still bowing his head and pondering, and had no choice but to kneel in front of him.

Chao Suotu couldn't bear it anymore at this time, and scolded: "You stupid cow, reckless and easy to kill, the young master has repeatedly ordered this trip to be secret and secretive, you are so blatantly exposed, now it's okay, not only have a grudge with the Hequ Department, but it won't take long for several surrounding departments to figure out our details, and now Wei Yuan is close at hand, but if any of the troops come to crusade against us, who can resist?" Can you do it? If you don't care if you die, can you afford to burden the young master? ”

Niu Ben realized how much mistake he had made, knelt there and bowed his head and couldn't say a word, the nest Tu had to scold again, Qiu Yundu had already waved his hand, and the nest Tu had to stop when he saw this. Qiu Yundu glanced at Niu Ben coldly, and said after a long time: "You can get up." ”

Niu Ben was straight, and he still knelt there and said: "Young master, Niu Ben violated the young master's military order, please kill Niu Ben!" ”

Qiu Yundu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Is it useful to kill you?" I still need your help in the future, you can get up, as long as you remember to strictly obey my military orders in the future. ”

Niu Ben saw that Qiu Yundu had spared him, so he got up and sat down away from the nest.

Qiu Yundu turned his head and glanced at everyone, and said: "What Fang Cai Chao said is good, although this time I temporarily concealed the river meander, but I expect that they will soon figure out the reason, and it won't take long to chase after them, but now we can only go north as soon as possible and enter the territory of the Bailan Ministry, I hope that the Bailan Bu will not embarrass us." ”

The sergeant was immediately ordered to have a full meal. At this time, they could not expose their traces, so they could not make a fire, and everyone had to chew on the raw meat, which was still bloody, and it was fishy and difficult to swallow, but it was better to be unpalatable than hungry, so everyone had to close their eyes and chew.

After everyone was fed, Qiu Yundu hurriedly ordered the army to march northward, and entered the Bailan forces in less than a day. But not long after walking, Qiuyun felt wrong when he landed, only to see from time to time to meet three or five piles, seven or eight groups of people, these people seemed to have no fixed goal, kept wandering, and when they saw their own people, they seemed to be frightened, and fled far away.

But this can't hide from Qiu Yundu's eyes, he knows that these people are not ordinary people, but the Tanma of the Bailan Department, that is, secret agents, and he has met so many Tanma along the way, no need to ask, most of them have come to inquire about Qiu Yundu's news.

Qiu Yundu felt a chill down his spine, what was Bai Lanbe's attitude towards him? Will he still let himself go if he can't recruit himself like Xi Murong? He was not sure, and turned his head to Niu Ben and said, "Pass the order, the whole army will move slowly, and prepare for war." ”

Niu Ben was stunned for a moment, but he didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately gave the order. The group walked slowly for about four or five miles, and then they saw smoke and dust rising from the northeast, and an army was hurrying towards them.

Qiu Yundu raised his hand, and nearly a thousand iron cavalry troops immediately lined up in formation and waited for the battle.

When the army approached, Qiu Yundu had already understood that the other party was about three or four thousand people, and the first thirty-five or sixteen-year-old leader reined in formation, rode forward dozens of steps, and shouted: "Who is in front?" The leader comes out and answers! ”

Qiu Yundu stepped forward and said, "The person in distress, Qiu Yundu, has seen the leader. Dare to ask the chieftain daimyo? ”

When the man heard this, he shouted: "I am Shanhong, the head of the Wantuan of the Bailan Division, are you really Qiuyundu?" ”

Qiu Yundu nodded and said, "Why pretend?" ”

Shanhong said: "Okay, our sect master has admired your name for a long time, please go to the Bailan Department to talk about it." ”

Qiu Yundu heard that he came to invite him, but his tone was very polite, and he was suspicious in his heart, and excused himself: "Thank you for your love, but Yundu has already gone somewhere, so it is inconvenient to disturb, please reply to your sect master." ”

Shanhong looked at him coldly and said, "Qiu Yundu, our sect master kindly invited you, but you dare not go?" ”

Niu Ben heard the anger in his heart behind him, and stepped forward and shouted: "If you don't go, you don't go, what are you talking about." ”

The nest couldn't stop him for a while, and he couldn't help but be anxious.

But he saw Shanhong suddenly shouting: "All the sergeants listen to the order: Daquan has a clear order, if Qiu Yundu does not go to the Bailan Department, he will be killed on the spot, and he must not be let go." With a wave of his hand, thousands of sergeants hulala surrounded him.

Qiu Yundu was shocked in his heart, although he saw that Shanhong's words were very polite, but he never imagined that the head of the Bailan Department would give such a military order. Seeing the other party's sergeants coming like a tide, Qiu Yundu hurriedly said to Niu Ben: "Retreat quickly, the whole army will rush out in the northwest!" ”

Although Shanhong's military order was so abrupt, the Bailan sergeant was obviously prepared, and as soon as he received the military order, he surrounded the iron cavalry army in all directions, and then Chao Suotu reacted, rushed forward a few steps and then Qiuyundu, and then turned back to rush out, which was already a step slower, and the Bailan army had already surrounded the iron cavalry.

There are 4,000 people in the Bailan army brought by Shanhong, and there are only 1,000 people in Qiuyundu, and now that he has been surrounded, Shanhong can't help but be overjoyed in his heart, and secretly said: "It is said that Qiuyundu is a military wizard, and he is brave, let's see how he escapes today." ”

This time it was Qiu Yundu's carelessness, he didn't expect that the Bai Lan Army was specifically killing him, and he fell into a siege for a while, but Qiu Yundu had experienced a hundred battles, and he was still not flustered in such a situation, and hurriedly ordered: "Zongyi, Niu Ben, open the gap in front of me, and after the nest is painted and covered left and right, Lao Yan is in the center to respond." ”

Shanhong led 4,000 legions to surround this thousand iron cavalry army, thinking that the victory or defeat would be decided, and Qiu Yundu was captured, but he underestimated this army too much, and also underestimated Qiu Yundu and his subordinates.

In the battle, the ox was drunk again and again, and the whirring wind of a long-handled axe wheel made the surrounding people either dead or wounded, and no one could come closer; On the other hand, Zongyi is the opposite of Niu Ben, he doesn't say a word, but if a spear in his hand is like a pear flower, every shot will hit someone. Qiu Yundu was not inferior at all, but he did not bring out the axe-bladed spear he was accustomed to when he escaped, and at this time, he could only use an ordinary spear, and the three of them took the lead in rushing and killing, and no one dared to resist for a while.

At this time, the combat power of the Iron Cavalry was vividly displayed, although the army was heavily encircled, but there was no panic at all, the eight pro-sergeants of Qiu Yundu followed closely behind Qiu Yundu, protecting the three in a half-moon shape, and the Iron Cavalry behind them closely followed the formation, joined forces to kill, Chao Tu and Gai Ying stayed in the back and left and right, and promptly commanded the Iron Cavalry to make up for the defects in the formation.

After fighting for a long time, the Bailan army never collapsed the iron cavalry army, Shanhong no longer had the slightest contempt in his heart, and hurriedly shouted loudly, commanding the Bailan army to besiege Qiuyundu, thinking that as long as Qiuyundu was killed, it would be a great achievement.

Although the Iron Cavalry Army was not dispersed for a while, but after all, the Bailan Army was numerous, and it was never possible to break out of the encirclement, Qiu Yundu saw that Shanhong was commanding nearby, and turned his head to Niu Ben and shouted: "You go and cut off his dog's head!" ”

Niu Ben shouted: "It's as easy as a hand! Riding a horse rushed out and shouted, "Grandpa Niu is here, and he is afraid of death." "The giant axe is like a hurricane, where it passes, the severed head and stump, like a boulder into the water, the Bailan sergeants have dispersed, and rushed to Shanhong in an instant, Shanhong still has to rely on the courage to resist, Niu Ben shouted, the giant axe swept over, Shanhong's neck immediately blood spurted, and a head was cut off.

Rao is Bailan Daquan Shoulong Bi valued Qiu Yundu so much, not only sent four thousand soldiers, but also asked one of his ten thousand regiment leaders to personally lead the army to come, but he didn't expect to meet such a brave figure as Niu Ben, and his head was in a different place in less than a round.

The leader of the other party was dead, and Qiu Yundu immediately shouted: "I have no grievances with your Bailan Department, I don't want to be too entangled, I want to retreat quickly with my life!" ”

The sergeant of the Bailan Department was immediately in chaos, and the iron cavalry army gradually got out of the encirclement, and when everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief, they saw another army coming in due east in a hurry, Qiu Yundu was shocked in his heart, and shouted urgently: "Retreat quickly!" "Led the crowd to the northwest.

Later, this army was arranged to come to help the battle by Longbi in order to prevent accidents, only a thousand regimental leaders named Zhidan led two thousand troops, and saw the two sides fighting from afar, Zhidan thought that Shanhong must be captured, and hurriedly stepped forward to earn a little credit, but when he ran closer, he found that the situation was not right, and the Bailan army had no formation, and it became a rout. Zhidan hurriedly sent someone to restrain this army, and when he asked to understand, he knew that Shanhong was dead, and Zhidan was frightened in his heart, but he thought that Qiuyundu only had a thousand troops, and now he had five or six thousand troops in hand, how could he be afraid of him, and the whole army gathered in one place and chased after Qiuyundu.

At this time, Qiu Yundu was really like a lost dog, but the other party followed closely after getting out of Shanhong's encirclement, and the number of sergeants increased, Qiu Yundu was bound to dare not turn back and fight again, so he had to flee with his life.
