Chapter 53: Self-defeating
Liu Bao was already injured, and after running for a long time, he had long lost the strength to fight, and when he saw Lou Jun slashing with a knife, he had to hurriedly retreat, but he stumbled and fell to the ground.
At this time, Lou Jun arrived in front of Liu Bao, and the big knife slashed at Liu Bao's head, only to hear the sound of "dang chang", and Niu Ben arrived in time at the last moment to block Lou Jun's big knife.
The thin horse hurriedly said that Liu Bao, who had fallen to the ground, pulled up, and the two of them retreated. At this time, the other mountain bandits also reacted, and quickly surrounded Lou Jun's more than ten people.
The soldiers on the other side formed a circular formation led by the captain Lou Bo, Lou Bo is the son of the third master, he was worried that something would happen to Lou Jun, so he led people to desperately break through to Lou Jun's side, and when he was approaching, Lou Bo hurriedly shouted: "Uncle, break through here!" ”
Lou Jun and Niu Ben have gone through a few moves, and the two have the same martial arts, but Niu Ben is younger and infinitely powerful, and Lou Jun feels numb after a few moves. Hearing Lou Bo's shout, Lou Jun knew that there was no chance to kill Liu Bao now, and bringing everyone back was the primary goal. Thinking of this, Lou Jun immediately shouted: "Form a circular formation and break through to the southwest." ”
After speaking, Lou Jun immediately withdrew and formed a formation with the soldiers to break through in the direction of Lou Bo.
Niu Ben was about to chase after him, but was stopped by someone behind him, this person's name is Wang Hui, and it was he who led someone to pick up Niu Ben here just now. Wang Hui lowered his voice: "Big brother, these soldiers are well-trained, although our people are twice as many as them, they may not be able to eat." We're just such a little bit of people, we can't fight them all for Liu Bao. ”
After listening, Niu Ben nodded: "That's right, I'll take Liu Bao to go first, and you can take someone to delay for a while and retreat quickly." ”
Wang Hui got the order and immediately chased after Lou Jun in the direction of breaking through. Niu Ben hurriedly took Liu Bao and the thin horse back to the cottage.
"Separate them, don't let them meet!" Wang Hui commanded his men.
Hearing Wang Hui's order, the mountain bandits flocked to the southwest of Lou Jun and his group, blocking the convergence of the two men and horses. Lou Jun led people to fight for a long time, but found that the bigger and bigger the people, he scanned around and found that almost all the bandits had poured between him and Lou Bo, and the northeast direction behind him was only guarded by Wang Hui with a few people.
After seeing the situation clearly, Lou Jun shouted towards Lou Bo's side: "Lou Bo, let's break through separately and meet in Shankou Village!" ”
After shouting, Lou Junyou said to the soldiers around him: "Capture the thief and capture the king first, follow me to catch their leader!" After speaking, he led people to rush towards Wang Hui.
Although Wang Hui was worried in his heart, he didn't dare to lead people back, once he started to retreat, others would definitely have no intention of fighting, and then it would turn into a rout. So Wang Hui had no choice but to meet him, and shouted at the same time: "Block the people over there and don't let them come, let's kill a dozen of them here first!" ”
As he spoke, Lou Jun had already killed Wang Hui and slashed at Wang Hui's neck. Wang Hui hurriedly raised his knife to block Lou Jun's blow, and the mountain bandit next to him took a spear and took the opportunity to stab Lou Jun. Lou Jun flashed, grabbed the spear with his other hand and dragged it hard, the mountain bandit staggered a few steps forward, and the soldiers behind Lou Jun directly stabbed the mountain bandit's life.
Wang Hui looked at this posture and knew that these people around him would definitely not be able to stop Lou Jun, and if he couldn't get his own life, he had to get in. Thinking of this, Wang Hui made a false move, and took advantage of Lou Jun's dodge to quickly hide aside to make way out: "Let them go up the mountain." ”
Several mountain bandits behind Wang Hui didn't want to stop Lou Jun forcibly, and immediately got out of the way when they heard the order, and Lou Jun didn't hesitate to rush out of the encirclement with people and rushed towards the mountains and forests.
On the other side, Lou Bo was very complicated when he heard Lou Jun's words, if he listened to Lou Jun's order, it would be equivalent to letting Lou Jun take more than a dozen people to lure away the more than 100 mountain bandits, and then lead people to flee for their lives. But if he had to lead people to fight the mountain bandits, it was likely that not only would he not be able to save Lou Jun and them, but his dozens of people would also be in danger.
Wang Hui let Lou Jun go, and when Lou Bo hesitated, he immediately said to the mountain bandits: "The brothers have made great contributions to saving the eldest brother, let's fight and retreat and entangle with them." ”
The mountain bandits were ordered to retreat immediately, Lou Bo gritted his teeth, and said to the soldiers behind him: "Brothers, we still have more than ten brothers on the mountain, I will not abandon them and go back alone, I am willing to chase after me!" ”
"Chase! Pursue! Pursue! The soldiers, though exhausted, shouted at the top of their voices.
Lou Bo strengthened his confidence: "Okay! Let's catch up with the thieves and find the other brothers! ”
On the rural road of Shankou Village, Lou Zaiying was galloping with a song of people and horses, and suddenly heard a faint shout in the distance, and he was even more anxious: "Hurry!" Speed up! ”
Not far from them, a carriage was also quietly following, and Zhang Shumo was sitting in the car.
"They're speeding up again, maybe they've discovered something." Hu Kun said.
Zhang Shumo opened the curtain first and looked at it, except for the torches held by the soldiers, he couldn't see anything clearly: "How far is it from Baishan here?" ”
"It's almost at the foot of the mountain, and it's past the village of Yamaguchi." Lu Li replied.
Zhang Shumo sighed: "I haven't met Master Lou yet, it seems that they have either caught up with the mountain or are in trouble." ”
"Master Lou will not be so reckless and chase directly up the mountain, it seems that this group of mountain bandits is not simple, they may have set up an ambush at the foot of the mountain." Lu Li analyzed.
Zhang Shumo rubbed his temples: "I hope it's not too late for us to come." ”
On the other side, Lou Jun and his party deliberately chose a path to walk in the mountains in order to avoid being chased by mountain bandits. After walking for a while, Lou Jun saw that the mountain bandits did not catch up, and everyone was tired, so he let everyone rest on the spot.
Wang Hui originally planned to collect troops and return to the cottage like this, but he never thought that dozens of people on the other side would dare to chase after him, and he couldn't help but scold, "Crazy!" He was thinking about how to get rid of them, when he suddenly noticed a bright light at the foot of the mountain.
"Not good! No wonder they dared to chase, it turned out that reinforcements had arrived! Wang Hui patted his thigh, looked at the dense firelight at the foot of the mountain, and thought in his heart: looking at the posture, the other party came at least for a while, and maybe even a song. You have to quickly inform the eldest brother to prepare, so many people on the other side may attack the cottage.
Thinking of this, Wang Hui immediately said to everyone: "Go back to the cottage on the super small road, the other party may want to attack the cottage!" ”
At this time, it was already dark, and Lou Bo and others also discovered the fire at the foot of the mountain, knowing that the reinforcements had arrived, and everyone was greatly boosted! But after such a delay, it was originally only a few dozen meters away from the mountain bandits, but now it was pulled away by the other party.
Since there were no torches on both sides, as soon as the bandits turned into the path, Lou Bo could not see the figure clearly, and at first glance it seemed to have disappeared.
Lou Bo was worried that the mountain bandits were hiding in the grass on the side of the road and ambushing him, so he immediately ordered people to stop chasing: "Be careful of deception, wait for the reinforcements to arrive!" ”
On the other side of the path, Master Lou and his party were resting, and suddenly heard a rustling sound not far away, and Master Lou's heart tightened: "It's not good, the chasing soldiers are coming, go quickly!" ”
