"General Shuhu, look." Guo Yi pointed to the mud on the side of the road.

The day before, there had been a light snowfall in the north, and before sunrise there had been a brief layer on the ground, as thick as a grain of rice.

The place Guo Yi pointed to was the grass on the side of the road, which was originally only an inch long, and in some places it shrank on the ground in clumps, as if it was drunk.

The expression on Shuhumu's face was solemn, such grass didn't look like much, but as a general who had been fighting in the Northland all year round, he knew that this was a sign that there were horses passing by.

Originally, the grass was sparse, and the trail was not distinguishable, and if it was covered with snow, it would be even more difficult to distinguish. The snow on the road was able to hide the horse's hooves, but the snow on the sparse grass melted, and there was still the grass that had been stepped on, exposing the horse's sins.

"Do you want to go in?" Shuhumu asked, at this moment, he was less than a hundred steps away from the people at the entrance of the village.

"We can't turn around." Guo Yi smiled, his face calm, as if he would not feel flustered under any circumstances.

Shuhumu looked around, and the low grass was obviously unable to block the bows and arrows of the ambushed soldiers in the mountains and forests in the distance.

"Advanced village, Jin Guo's cavalry and bows and arrows can't be fully deployed in the village." Guo Yi said in a low voice, while the two were talking, their footsteps did not stop. Guo Yi's guess was correct, they had already been exposed to the range of the ambush, but none of the Jin soldiers lying on their stomachs released their arrows.

Leading them was the general of King Shouhai, who had already discovered Guo Yi and the others, but he was waiting, waiting for the big fish. Since then, for the rest of his life, he has not figured out why Guo Yi was the one who walked in the forefront on that day.

Shuhumu's face was indifferent and a little angry, Guo Yi's face was calm, but he was still like a scholar, the two of them walked to the door of the first house at the entrance of the village, Guo Yi stepped forward, knocked lightly, and said, "Is anyone there?" ”

After saying this, he exchanged glances with Shuhumu, and they clearly heard that the breath of the four people in the house was chaotic, how could ordinary residents have such a reaction.

"Is anyone there? My brother and I want to spend the night in this village, can it be convenient? Guo Yi said this at any time, but the left hand behind his back had already grasped the grip of the dagger, Shuhumu did not make a sound, but his right hand had already grasped the handle of the knife through his clothes.

"Someone, let's open the door for the two of you." There was a clear Chinese dialect coming from the room, even with some accents from the northern part of the Han Kingdom, but after decades of confrontation between the two sides, there were many Jin people who could speak Chinese fluently.

Guo Yi and Shuhumu exchanged glances again, Shuhumu stepped forward without a trace, and as soon as the door opened, Guo Yi took the lead in pulling out the dagger, smearing it on the throat of the person who opened the door, and then used his hand to support the heart of the person who opened the door. The movements were so fast and silent that none of the three people in the room noticed anything unusual. Guo Yi's hand pressed the man's chest, and sure enough, there was a layer of hard armor under the sackcloth.

"Then excuse me!" It was Shuhumu who spoke, he didn't have a corpse in his hand, it was quite convenient, he opened the door and entered the house, but as soon as he opened the door, he was greeted by three scimitars.

He pulled out the big knife behind his waist with his clothes, and the horizontal knife blocked the slashing of the three men.

"Trouble!" Guo Yi said loudly, closed the door with his hand, slammed the corpse against the wall, the cat rushed forward, and stabbed a knife on the waist of the leftmost Jin soldier, the man was in pain, Shuhumu immediately pulled out a hand, only held the knife in one hand, and grabbed the man's neck with the other hand, and used force to break the man's neck, and before the voice came out, he had already squinted.

Seeing that this was wrong, the remaining two immediately shouted Jin Yu and withdrew their knives to escape through the window. Guo Yi and Shuhumu shot again, one by one, and dealt with these two people cleanly.

The bodies of the two fell to the ground softly along the wall, and the crisis of Guo Yi and the others had just begun. The soldiers of the Jin Kingdom who heard the two shouts jumped out of the hiding house one after another and surrounded the house where Guo Yi and the others were.

"What should I do?" Shuhumu listened to the movement outside the door, and there were probably forty or fifty people outside.

Guo Yi remembered that when she first came, she saw that the houses were all thatched roofs, and when she looked up, she was sure enough. So he picked up the lamp and candle in the house, and said, "You and I go out from the roof, I will set this house on fire, and we will take advantage of the chaos to lead the army to break through!" ”

"Good!" Shuhumu jumped to the main beam in the house, and Guo Yi first set fire to the clothes on several corpses, and then jumped on the beam.

"One." Guo Yi said.

"Two." Shuhu Mu counted.

"Three." The two of them spoke out together, and Guo Yi threw the candlestick on the roof, and the dry thatch, with the help of the huge wind, instantly set fire to the adjacent houses.

Guo Yi and the two landed, but in front of them were a few Jin soldiers who did not react from the fire, the two of them were quick and quick, and solved these soldiers, Guo Yi grabbed a big knife from the soldiers on the ground, and ran to the west of the village with Humu.

In the distance, Xu An saw the fire burning in the village, tightened the reins in his hand, and shouted: "Rush! Then he rushed over. The Black Wolf Army and the Anxi Army behind him followed him and charged, without torches, like a torrent of darkness.

"Watch out for both sides!" Xu An yelled again, as soon as he heard the conversation between Guo Yi and Shuhumu, he knew that there must be an ambush on this densely wooded hillside.

Sure enough, before his words fell, one arrow after another broke through the air like raindrops, and Xu An flicked away the one that shot at him with a sword: "Accelerate and rush over!" Break out of the village! ”

The arrows shot by the ambush soldiers had a limited effect on this black torrent, and there were only dozens of people who fell off the horse, and today Shuhumu brought three thousand elites.

In the village, Guo Yi and Shuhumu had already run to the center of the village, but there were more and more pursuers behind. In each house were four or five heavily armed Jin soldiers. At this moment, there were more than 100 pursuers behind them, except for the soldiers who had first reacted from the fire, and the soldiers in the houses were also joining the team.

The two of them fought and retreated, but they were completely unable to resist the increase in the number of golden soldiers. If it weren't for the fact that the cavalry and bows and arrows could not be used in the village, they would have been chased to death.

"Do you hear that?" Shuhumu slashed the neck of the Jin State soldier with a knife and asked.

Guo Yi heard the thunderous sound of horses' hooves and said, "Xu An is here, we are ready to get on the horse, hold on a little longer!" ”

Xu An's army had already rushed through the muddy path, and the large army in the village could not pass, so he could only lead the team around the village.

However, Guo Yi's black horse and Shuhumu's mount were far away from the large army and rushed into the village, and the two big horses went on a rampage, injuring many Jin soldiers along the way.

Shuhumu's mount let out a hiss, Shuhumu wiped the blood from his face, blew a whistle, and his mount actually ran in the direction of the two of them with Guo Yi's black horse.

Originally, there were hundreds of chasing soldiers behind them, but at this time, they were stepped out of it, and Shuhumu's mount was also covered with black armor, rushing all the way, facing the encirclement of several Jinguo soldiers, it was the hind hooves that exerted force, jumped three feet, and came to Shuhumu's side, while Guo Yi's black horse quietly came from the side of the path, and he was injured.

Shu Humu and Guo Yi turned on their horses and distanced themselves from the Jin State pursuers behind them. As soon as he left the village, he saw Xu An coming to Huihe with a large army.

The two men then returned to the group and directed the team to flee to the west.

"What about the casualties!" Shuhumu asked Xu An.

"I don't know, but I was shot by ambush soldiers all the way just now, and it is estimated that there are three or four hundred brothers missing!" Xu An rushed over all the way is also dangerous, if Shuhumu only brings a thousand soldiers and horses today, he will definitely not be able to get out of this village.

Shuhumu sat on his horse, his lips closed, his hair scattered in the fight just now, he was like an angry lion at the moment, he did not roar, but spread his angry will between heaven and earth.

He took the black iron mask armor on horseback, brought it on, and said to Guo Yi: "General Guo, even if the lives of my hundreds of brothers are given to you, you will avenge them in the future." ”

"Since this is the case, if you escape, Guo will sacrifice the souls of his brothers with blood and wine."

Neither of them spoke, and galloped west with the team. The village behind him had already been on fire, with wooden houses and thatched roofs, and the whole village was on fire.

In the mountains and forests, the family general of King Shouhai did not seem to be anxious at all for letting go of such a piece of fat that reached his mouth, and even showed a trace of joy on his face, and said in his heart: My lord, your opportunity has come!
