Lin Jue packed up his mood and got off the lookout, at the battlement of the city tower, Ma Bin, Shen Tan, Sun Dayong and others were gathering together to watch the carriages and horses go out of the city, while talking in a low voice. Seeing Lin Jue coming down, the three of them hurriedly greeted him.

"How's it going? What about the White Maiden? Ma Bin asked.

"She'll leave for a while, and she'll be back later." Lin Jue said: "The situation is very urgent, and almost the forbidden army in the whole city seems to have been mobilized. There were many soldiers and horses in the streets and alleys of the inner and outer cities, intending to intercept and pursue. I counted them, and there were more than a dozen soldiers in total. The most recent one is already a few blocks away. ”

Everyone was stunned and speechless, and their expressions suddenly became nervous.

Shen Tan smacked his lips and said, "Are there so many soldiers and horses encircling and suppressing?" It seems that we will not stop if we are not stopped. ”

Ma Bin spat and said, "I'm afraid of him as a bird!" This shows that we people have taught them to be afraid. Yang Jun had no ability, and he led tens of thousands of cavalry to stop us, and now he lost face, and was used by Brother Lin to throw off his pursuit, so he was angry and mobilized all the forbidden troops to surround us. Even if we can't get out of the city this time, I'm afraid that his old face Yang Jun will be lost. Boasting about him all day long, even the palace guards and the brothers of the nursing home of a thousand people can't handle it. ”

Shen Tan frowned and said, "That's what I said, but what should I do about the current situation?" How do we get out of trouble? Can we get to the west gate of the outer city before they besiege it? How do you get out of the city when you get to the West Gate? It is stronger than Yiqiu Gate, and there are more soldiers and horses guarded. We haven't yet understood what Brother Lin wants. ”

Lin Jue sighed and said, "The original plan was to guard the West Water Gate with Big Brother Youma, and we could go out of the city directly." Now it's clearly not the case. If you can reach the West Water Gate without knowing it, you can still use the method of breaking the city here, relying on Ma Bin's identity to enter the city and hold the guards hostage. But not now. At the current pace of our march, it will be difficult to break through their encirclement and pursuit. ”

Sun Dayong nodded and said, "Yes, our convoy is moving too slowly. There were too many people, and the carriages were not as fast as the cavalry. If it had only been us riding on horseback, we would not have been surrounded by them. You've got to figure out a way. ”

Shen Tan shouted: "What words? Do you mean to leave the prince, the little prince and the princess, and the royal family? ”

Sun Dayong hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Commander Shen, this is definitely not the intention of the subordinates. ”

Lin Jue waved his hand and said, "I thought about it, I'm afraid I have to fight with them." For the time being, they seem to be sure that we will go out of the city through the west gate. Therefore, the focus of the encircled soldiers and horses should be in Xicheng. This gave me an idea. ”

Everyone hurriedly said, "What do you think?" ”

Lin Jue said: "Let's give them a sound to attack the tiger and leave the mountain." What Sun Dayong said makes sense, according to our current speed of travel, we will be surrounded by them after less than two streets out of Yiqiu Gate. Once it is dragged down, when the other forbidden soldiers and horses arrive, it will be a dead end for catching turtles in the urn. So I thought it would be better for us to divide our troops into two places, and a group of cavalry disguised as a large group of men and horses to rush to the west, attracting the forbidden army to chase after us. The other team can head south to Dai Lou Gate in the southwest corner. Before dawn, while the night is still thick, you may be able to reach the southwest gate safely. As soon as the morning dawned, everything became more troublesome. ”

"What a way, what a sound." Ma Bin shouted.

Shen Tan frowned and thought: "It's good, but there are two points, one is that the people who attracted them are afraid that they won't be able to survive, and they will be chased by so many soldiers and horses, and they will not be able to escape." Moreover, even if you arrive at the gate of Dailou, how can you get out of the city? The outer city gates are no better than the inner cities, they are all heavily guarded city gates. In today's situation, at least 4,000 men must be guarded by each outer city. Are Brother Lin going to take the city gate? ”

Before Lin Jue could speak, Sun Dayong stepped forward and said, "I'll go and attract the attention of the forbidden army." It's a big deal. The prince who can be exchanged, the little prince and you are out of danger, it's worth it. ”

Shen Tan smiled and said: "If you want to go, I will go, it is my duty to protect the prince and the little prince, you are not a palace guard now, how can it be your turn?" ”

Ma Bin was dumbfounded and said, "You all give me a rest, I have to come to this matter." Is any of you more familiar with the capital than I am? I've walked all over the 100 streets and alleys of the capital. I'm going to attract them, and I might come out alive when I turn around. Can you? ”

Lin Jue nodded and sighed: "This is the real brother, he knew that he was going to die at a critical time, but he didn't let it go." Lin Jue can be a brother with you, and he has no regrets in this life. But I'm not asking you to die. I think Brother Ma is competent for this. First, he is familiar with the streets and alleys of the outer city, which is easy to get out. Second, he is a member of the forbidden army, and so far no one should know that Brother Ma is with us. At a critical time, he can be mixed up and get out of danger in the forbidden army. ”

Ma Bin said proudly: "What? Brother Lin said that I was the most suitable. ”

Lin Jue stepped forward and bowed deeply to Ma Bin, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Ma, this trip is dangerous, and my brother has no choice but to let Brother Ma take risks." Brother Ma must be careful, he must escape, if anything happens to Brother Ma, his brother will not be able to live in peace in this life, and he will die of guilt every day. ”

Ma Bin laughed and said, "Don't worry." Although I, Ma Bin, am not afraid of death, I am not willing to lose my life casually. Rest assured. ”

Lin Jue nodded and said, "Okay, then without further ado, let's act immediately." Dispatch a hundred palace guards to follow Brother Ma, it is difficult to act if there are too many people, and it is suspicious when there are fewer people. Vacate more than a dozen carts and let Brother Ma drag them away, which will be more like a large group of carts and horses. When the rest of the people left the city, they sought a hidden place to hide for the time being. When the pursuers chased over, they went straight to the gate of Dailou. ”

Several people surrendered their promises, and everyone turned around and walked down the city tower, Ma Bin glanced at Feng Yuan, who was tied up in the corner of the city wall, and suddenly strode over and grabbed Feng Yuan.

Feng Yuan shouted: "Deputy Envoy Ma, I have already done as you ordered, how are you doing?" ”

Ma Bin said: "Lao Tzu usually hates the most ungrateful people, he shouldn't have saved your dog's life in the first place, and Lao Tzu often feels guilty in his heart, and he saved you against his will. I saved your life, I saved my mistake, and I want to correct my mistake today, so I want to take back your life. ”

Feng Yuanda exclaimed: "Brother Ma spares his life, my brother knows that I am wrong, and my brother knows that I am wrong." ”

Ma Bin smiled and said, "Spare your life? Will Lao Tzu still be deceived by you? you. ”

In the midst of the loud cheers, Ma Bin grabbed his neck with one hand and his waist with the other, and lifted Feng Yuan high. Feng Yuan writhed and struggled in the air, shouting for mercy. Where did Ma Bin take care of him, and smashed Feng Yuan from the top of the battlement to the bottom of the city.

"Ah~~ Click! Disheveled! ”

After the abnormal noise, Feng Yuanyuan's feet smashed on the blue brick ground under the city, his brain burst, and his soul flew out of the sky.

The convoy quickly divided into two parts, one part was composed of Ma Bin and more than a hundred cavalry guards of the palace and a dozen large carts. The trail went to the west side of the street. The rest of the people were all hidden in the alley on the south side of the small square. Soon after, I heard a warning from the sentinel camp in the distance, and fireworks also rose in the sky. This is exactly the signal of the forbidden army to inform their soldiers and horses that they have encountered the enemy. For a time, more than a dozen soldiers and horses around rushed to the aid at full speed. This strategy has already worked.

After a large number of cavalry rushed from Yiqiu Gate to the west of the street, Lin Jue quietly ordered to escort the convoy to the south with everyone. Passing through the alley between the two armies of soldiers and horses rushing to Xicheng, they went straight to the Dailou Gate in the southwest corner.

Ma Bin's chariot and horse only crossed three streets before they encountered a forbidden soldier and horse, and the other party launched an attack without saying a word and warned the sky. Ma Bin would not fight them head-on, relying on his familiarity with the streets and alleys, and immediately turned north into a fork street. The horses are galloping, and the empty wheels are about to fly out. If anyone sees this scene, they will suspect that there is no one in the car, but who can see it in the dark?

Just after crossing the fork street, I went up another main street, and soon encountered another group of forbidden soldiers. The crowd avoided it again. In this way, with his familiarity with the terrain, Ma Bin's more than 100 people rushed between the streets and alleys of the outer city and the west city. Almost every street or two you crossed, you were met by the forbidden army soldiers and horses who rushed to encircle and suppress them. Their positions are becoming more and more exposed, and there is less room for manoeuvre. In the end, the carts could no longer allow them to cross the narrow alleys to avoid the enemy troops, and Ma Bin had to announce that he had abandoned a dozen carts and abandoned them at the mouth of a small alley.

Even narrow alleys that can only accommodate three or four people can be traversed on horseback, which increases the flexibility of manoeuvring. Ma Bin's intention was to delay his opponent as long as possible so that Lin Jue's convoy would be safer. However, he forgot that the act of abandoning the carriage would reveal his intentions. When a group of forbidden troops intercepted more than a dozen carriages and found them empty, the general immediately became suspicious. After reporting the matter, soon, Yang Jun, who got the news, led his troops to chase after him, and saw through the intention.

"This is not their chariot and horses, there are so many family members in the royal palace, how can they turn into the wind after they abandon the cart? Besides, how come there are only a dozen big cars? There are hundreds of family members in the royal palace, how can they be loaded? This is a ploy to attack the west. We were fooled. Yang Jun said angrily: "At this time, he is still teasing us, Lin Jue, the old man is really annoyed, the old man has not been humiliated like this for a long time." Playing these tricks in front of the old man, you really don't take the old man seriously. ”

After a quick analysis, Yang Jun came to the conclusion that Lin Jue and the others must have gone south. Because of the large number of soldiers and horses in the north and west, it is unlikely that Lin Jue and his large fleet of chariots and horses will reach the northwest two directions undetected, so they can only go to the south. At that moment, Yang Jun ordered a soldier and horse to continue to pursue the cavalry in front of him, and the rest of the soldiers and horses turned to the south, separated by a distance of less than one or two streets, divided into more than 20 soldiers and horses, and searched along the streets and alleys like combs to the south carpet. Make sure that Lin Jue and the others will not be allowed to slip through the net.
