Chapter 117: Another treacherous scheme
Lan Ziyi exclaimed:
"Not good!"
Tao Zhutu was startled by Lan Ziyi's voice, and hurriedly asked:
"Wei Hou, what's wrong?"
Lan Ziyi didn't explain to Tao Zhutu, but instructed the people next to him:
"Quick! Hurry up and light the torches! You can order as many thieves as you want. β
Peach Chase Rabbit suddenly realized when he heard this, the four thieves who drove the horses were all lit torches, although the killing all the way just now was very smooth, and no thieves were let go, but the problem was that all the torches lit by the thieves were extinguished.
The thief boss is in front, maybe he has been keeping an eye on the situation of all parties, and it is self-evident what it means to suddenly extinguish the fire.
Hearing Lan Ziyi's order, the soldiers under his command also understood, and hurriedly lit torches.
Lan Ziyi stood nervously on his horse and looked around,
The torches in front of the horses didn't move, but fortunately,
The torches behind the herd of horses were extinguished for a long time just now, and it took a while to light the torches after seeing Lan Ziyi light them here, and there were less than a hundred, it seems that Wei Qionglou has figured it out, and I don't know if it's too late.
The torch to the right of the herd had just been extinguished at this time, and it seemed that the Jihu camp had just rushed over.
Lan Ziyi bit his lip and looked anxiously at the right side of the horses, and looked at the leader from time to time.
The torches on the Thief Boss's side were up and down for a while, and some moved backwards, but on the whole there was no sign of leaving.
On the side, Tao Zhuhu said:
"It seems that the thieves are in a hurry to run away, and they don't have the time to fix the back."
Although the thief coach did not run away, Lan Ziyi always felt weird, and his heart was inexplicably empty, he said:
"Without further ado, let's hurry up and catch up with the thief in front of us and capture that Lei Youde alive."
When everyone heard this, they whispered promises, and a group of cavalry of the Jihu Battalion accelerated forward here.
It's been a long time since nightfall, and Lan Ziyi doesn't know how long it has been, he only knows that he has been leading people to kill and kill since the front of the yamen, and the time has passed quickly, but it is not short.
The city of Yuzhou and the firelight in the city were moving farther and farther behind him, and now it seemed to be just a light on the horizon.
A north wind blew, the dark clouds dispersed, the black and translucent sky was full of stars, and a bright moon hung high, wrapping the earth in a layer of silver.
The wind blows through the trees, and the branches and leaves in the forest are fluttering,
The wind blows across the earth, and the grass rolls like a limbo,
The neighing of the horses galloping across the vast land, showing a force, a direction, forward, endless, free boundless, passionate and desirable.
Lan Ziyi and the Tao family brothers beside him and many soldiers of the Jihu Battalion all bit the collar of their clothes to suppress their panting, and their eyes stared coldly ahead,
This is the first time Lan Ziyi feels at home after leaving Luoyan Pass.
Although Lan Ziyi has never participated in the hunting activities of the border army, the current scene,
In this situation, running wild under the moon, fierce horses, bending bows and sharp blades, like hunting on the prairie outside the wild goose pass,
The thrill, the serenity that lasts so long before the final blow.
From another point of view, Lan Ziyi and they are indeed hunting, but the prey is a living person.
"After all, I still have blood in my veins.
What about my ideals? What about reading? What about the imperial examinations? It's ironic. β
Lan Ziyi thought about it, and a wry smile crossed the corner of his mouth.
At this time, Tao Zhutu on the side whispered to Lan Ziyi:
"Wei Hou, look, there are torches in front of you."
Lan Ziyi came back to his senses as soon as he was reminded, and his spirit was highly concentrated.
From a distance, there was a torch in front of the leader, undulating with the horses.
It's just that some of the torches are tall and some are short, uneven, and the people on the horse look so thin.
A little nearer, a soldier shouted:
"Wei Hou, look, that's not a thief."
Lan Ziyi stared at it by the moonlight,
Now I finally saw clearly, it was not a thief at all, but a torch tied to the back of a horse.
The thieves tied the torches to the spears or spears, and tied these long weapons tied with torches to the horses' necks to prevent the horses from being frightened by the fire.
This was the case with the thieves in Dangyang, but the difference in strength was too great, that is, the thieves didn't dare to go to Lan Ziyi if they didn't run.
But this time, this time Lan Ziyi was violent, leading the elite soldiers of the three-money Jihu battalion, and I don't know how strong it is compared to the thieves.
And this time he was secretly attacking, and three of the four thieves were killed without saying a word.
No matter how you look at this thief coach, he is a meat that has been bitten into his mouth,
It turned out that now it hit the trick again, and the cooked duck flew.
Lan Ziyi couldn't hold back any longer, and scolded loudly:
"Grass mud horse, you actually calculated me!"
Then he greeted the army:
"The thief boss can't run far, everyone work harder, and follow me to catch up with that bastard."
On the side, Tao Zhuhu said:
"Wei Hou, don't be impulsive, we are here to take the horse, and now that the horse has been regained, there is no need to risk your life for the sake of momentary anger."
ζ‘η«ιΉΏ also said:
"Wei Hou, we have been galloping at full speed for so long, the horse is already tired, and if we rush like this, we will run the horse to death.
We've been running for so long, and we're going to reach the thieves' camp any further. β
Lan Ziyi looked at the two brothers of the Tao family, and then looked at the Tao Rabbit,
ζ‘θΏ½ε also says:
"Wei Hou, if you see it, you can accept it, you can't take risks."
Lan Ziyi slowly lowered the speed of the horse, closed his eyes and thought about it, then opened his eyes and said:
"You think I'm just here for revenge?"
The Tao brothers and the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion looked at each other when they heard this, but did not answer.
Lan Ziyi paused for a moment and then said:
"Of course, I am in such a hurry to chase the thief Kou Master to avenge Dangyang's arrow, but that is not the main thing.
According to what the thief Kou Shengkou said, it is Lei Youde who is fleeing now, and how powerful this Lei Youde is, many of you have been taught. He almost killed us all in Dangyang, and now that the situation is unfavorable, he can come up with such a clever plan to deceive us,
If you let him go back, think about it, wouldn't it be a tiger to return to the mountain? β
Everyone nodded in agreement when they heard Lan Ziyi say this.
Lan Ziyi went on to say:
"In the past, the thieves had the advantage and I was the disadvantage, and now we can't grasp the initiative, just on this road, how difficult do we want to kill again when Lei Youde escapes back to Dazhai?
Once Lei Youde returns to the camp, and then has a heavy army, with his tricks, how much more storm will we set off in the future? How long will this battle be fought? You have seen all the way to urbanization into ruins, hundreds of people starved to death on the side of the road, do we want this result for the country?
I want to hunt down Lei Youde, I want to take revenge, but not only for me, but also for the dead robe of Jihu Camp, and more importantly, for my Dazheng Jiangshan Sheji.
Now, are you going to stop me? β
Listening to Lan Ziyi's impassioned statement, the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion were also full of blood, and they petitioned to go with Lan Ziyi.
Tao Zhuhu smiled and said:
"Alas, no one can stop what you recognize, young master."
However, Lan Ziyi said:
"General Chase Tiger, you are right, let's come over to seize the horse, the goal has been achieved, there is no need to risk your life again,
Chasing down Lei Youde is the icing on the cake, not the main goal. β
Tao Zhuhu listened and wondered, and asked:
"Wei Hou, what do you mean ......?"
ε °εδΉ says:
"General Zhuhu, you and General Zhulu are trying to drive the horses back to the city, this is a big project, and it is not so easy to complete.
Let the best of the Jihu Battalion come with me, there are not many Lei Youde, and two or three hundred people are enough to chase and kill. β
ζ‘ζ·θ says:
"This is too dangerous, Wei Hou, you stay, and the handsome man will go after Lei Youde."
ε °εδΉ says:
"There are nearly 100,000 horses here, and I don't have the ability to drive them back, so it's useless to leave me.
The soldiers of the forbidden army have trained the ability to kill the enemy on horseback, not growing up at the border pass, so they will not drive horses. β
The soldiers of the forbidden army on the side said one after another:
"yes, we still have a headache about how to get back to this large herd of horses."
Lan Ziyi went on to say:
"General Zhuhu, only if you and General Zhulu have this experience, you have to bring the horses back. That's my order as a manager. β
Peach and Peach looked at each other, thinking that there was no better way.
So Tao Zhuhu glared at Tao Zhuhu and said:
"You follow the young master, but you have to take good care of the young master, if the young master is missing a hair, I will smoke your scriptures."
Tao Zhutu nodded vigorously and replied:
"Big brother, don't worry!"
Then Peach Zhulu said:
"Weihou, your horses are out of luck and you can't run anymore, and if you want to chase the thieves, you must change horses."
Lan Ziyi listened and nodded, time was pressing, Tao Zhuhu hurriedly ordered the three hundred most capable of shooting in the Jihu camp, and then divided the three hundred most energetic horses from the herd, and the three hundred people jumped in the air with the help of their companions.
Although Lan Ziyi is very talented in horseback riding, this vaulting is the first time.
Peach Tiger and Peach Zhulu had already fallen on the horse to help Lan Ziyi hang up the saddle, Lan Ziyi wiped the sweat off his head, jumped ruthlessly, and fell on the back of the horse next to him, almost slipping down.
The Tao brothers on the side also let out a cold sweat when they saw it, and hurriedly went up to help.
After Lan Ziyi sat down on the horse, the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion had already gathered.
Lan Ziyi looked back at Tao Zhuhu and Tao Zhulu, their eyes intersected, and they both nodded, and then Lan Ziyi roared angrily and shouted:
"Let's go!"
He led three hundred elite horsemen to whip away, and Peach Chase Tiger and Peach Chase Deer took out a lasso and prepared to pull the horse.
After changing horses, Lan Ziyi obviously felt that the war horse was more energetic, so he jerked the horse and rushed forward.
Since the horses were no longer able to provide cover for them, Lan Ziyi and the others no longer covered their voices.
The wind and grass, the angry horses, Lan Ziyi, they followed the footprints on the ground and ran forward quickly for a long time, and finally Tao Zhutu pointed ahead and said:
"Wei Hou, look, there is someone ahead!"
Lan Ziyi also saw the crowd in front of him, so he ordered:
"The army is preparing bows and arrows, and Lei Youde will be killed here today."
