Chapter 40: Preparing for Death
After the two groups of people in front and behind ran wildly for nearly a thousand meters again, General Wupinlang, who had been staring at the front of him, finally discovered the abnormality in front of him, and shouted loudly with his big hand: "All the soldiers listen to the order!" Prepare to scatter the formation left and right! ”
Just after he shouted, he saw more than a dozen of the Feng Kill people in front of him turn around on horseback, and suddenly the reins in his hand were pulled diagonally to change the direction of the horse's travel, and at the same time he gave an order in a loud voice: "Disperse!" ”
Suddenly, a group of whizzing crossbow arrows passed through the open space in the middle of the Tiger Guards who suddenly scattered from the middle to both sides, and landed powerlessly not far behind the Tiger Guards, during which only a few unlucky soldiers who were not very obedient were hit by arrows and landed, although they were not fatal, but they could not continue to participate in the battle at present.
Wu Pinlang turned his head and glanced fiercely at a few of his subordinates lying on the open ground, his eyes snorted coldly, and he turned his head and continued to ride his horse and gallop, and the scattered formation gradually regathered.
Another half an hour had passed, and General Wupinlang had already organized a round of throws in the first few minutes, except for pulling the distance a little more, but he didn't even hurt a person or a horse. This did not have any substantive effect, and it also caused a burst of laughter from the people in front of Feng Kill.
After a night of running, time seemed to pass quickly, and it was already past the hour of dawn, and the sun that had risen in early winter was as pale as the moon at night, and the only thing was to scatter wisps of wisps on the earth through the clouds in the sky and the morning mist. The sunlight, which represents light, shines through the gaps in the foliage that shades the road, and dots the shadows on the ground with bright circles of different sizes.
At this time, all the people on both sides who had been running all night, including all the war horses, were already in a state of sleepiness and fatigue. Even now, the speed of the war horses is only six or seven percent faster than before, especially the forbidden army team that has fallen far behind, some of them have slowed down their horses and are lying on the back of their horses and taking a nap, as if they don't know what the military order is like a mountain.
"Damn! Lao Chen, these guys aren't too tired! Yuan Biao was also panting on horseback, the morning of early winter should be relatively cold, even in Chengdu Mansion in Shudi, the temperature in the early morning was very low, but Yuan Biao first wiped the sweat on his forehead, and then shouted at Chen Wansan with a sigh.
Chen Wansan glanced at Yuan Biao, first looked at Tang Xizong, who had been taken by Zhao Chenyi and rode a war horse with him, and then looked back at the pursuers of the Tiger Guard Army who were only a hundred meters away, shook his head and sighed: "Alas! It's not the way to go on like this! Then Chen Wansan suddenly stared at Yuan Biao and said in a deep voice: "Old Yuan! I'll take a few brothers to stop and block it, buy some time for you, and be sure to take the Holy One away safely! ”
"No! If you want to go, I'll go! Where is the turn to get you! Yuan Biao shook his head and refused without thinking about it, and then without waiting for Chen Wansan to continue speaking, he turned his head and shouted to Chen Yueze in front of him: "Yueze! Pick a few clever brothers, and we'll stay behind to stop the pursuers! ”
"Generals, don't!" Yang Lianting, who kept bumping up and down on horseback, saw all this, and hurriedly shouted at the top of his voice: "The chasing force is big, don't hit the stone!" Think twice, generals! When shouting, Yang Lianting also tried to stretch out his right hand holding the reins and swing it, but he didn't expect that as soon as his hand was released, his body was jolted to the side, if he hadn't hurriedly grabbed the reins, I am afraid that what was waiting for him was to fall under the horse and be trampled into a meatloaf by hundreds of iron hooves behind. Just at this moment, Yang Lianting, who was already frightened, instantly broke out in a cold sweat, and had to lower his head and rub his forehead against the clothes on his arms to wipe off the sweat.
Tang Xizong, who saw all this in his eyes, was also frightened, on the one hand, he was worried about the consequences of Yang Lianting falling off the horse, and on the other hand, he was even more worried that he would fall. As soon as he turned around and saw the iron hooves of the hundreds of tiger guards chasing after him, Tang Xizong felt a slight coolness rise in his body, and inadvertently tightened the arms holding Zhao Chenyi's body, for fear that he would fall down by a mistake.
Although Yang Lianting's behavior of almost falling off the horse made people feel that he was a complete waste, but there was no shame or disdain in the eyes of Feng Kill everyone looking at him, but Qi Qi felt a burst of warmth, in this case, as a eunuch, it was not easy to say such a thing.
"Old Yuan! I'll stay with you! Let Yue Ze continue to escort! Chen Wansan looked at Yuan Biao, who was about to make a move, with a solemn face and whispered, and then when Yuan Biao wanted to refuse, Chen Wansan smiled faintly at him, and his body sitting on horseback also straightened, and added in a flat tone: "Our brothers have an agreement, live and die together!" ”
Although the tone was flat and the voice was not loud, it was nailed to Yuan Biao's heart word by word, not only that, but even the surrounding Feng Kill people all turned their heads to Chen Wansan with complicated expressions.
For the current situation, in fact, everyone has already understood very well, if it weren't for Tang Xizong's presence, they could easily escape from the pursuit of the Tiger Guards. But now they can't leave Tang Xizong to run for their lives, and with the non-stop pursuit of the Tiger Guards behind them, everyone actually knows that there may be a situation of endless death today. It's just that there are more than two dozen people against hundreds of Tiger Guards.
"Actually, it's nothing! More than two years ago, didn't our brothers also annihilate the three or four hundred elites of the yellow thief! Yuan Biao saw that everyone had slowly changed into an expression of death, so he pretended to smile easily and began to cheer everyone up: "Their Tiger Guards are elite, but our brothers are not vegetarians!" Especially after such a long time of traveling, I don't believe that the combat effectiveness of the Tiger Guards will be higher than ours! ”
"That's right! I'm afraid of him! People are dead! Fuck it! Chen Wansan also made an expression of indifference, took Yuan Biao's words and scolded with a smile: "What tiger guards, today our brothers let them be beaten into dead tigers!" ”
"Brother Chen, what you said is wrong!" Chen Yueze in front of him turned around with a smile and retorted: "How can there be any tiger guards, it's obviously just a group of sick cats!" Look at them like that, a team of thousands of people chased after a night, and there were only three or four hundred left, and if we didn't stop waiting for them, I'm afraid we would have become a bunch of dead cats if we didn't catch up! Ha ha.. ”
"Well said! A bunch of cat guards! Beat them into a bunch of dead cats! Yuan Biao laughed and echoed loudly, followed by everyone shouting, "Beat him up cat guard!" "Beat them into dead cats, and let them dare to chase them!" "It's just a group of sick cats, and they dare to chase tigers!"
"Haha. Ha ha.. The arrogant and loud laughter came out of the mouths of the twenty or so people, and it soared into the sky like a fountain that erupted, and immediately dispelled the dullness of the dispute just now.
With the passage of time, the disk of sunlight hanging in the sky has become dazzling and dazzling, with a hint of warmth of the daylight sprinkled on the smiles of everyone, against the background of the misty trees on both sides of the road, it seems that they are not fleeing for their lives but in the suburbs, not like they are preparing for a battle to the death, but like the kind of talk and laughter between brothers.
