055 Sortie III
It wasn't just Qin Luo who noticed the problem, but also the leader of the Qingyun Iron Guard, Hu Tulu, who said anxiously: "Our people didn't bring fire, it's too bad, I'm afraid they will be more than lucky." ”
"No way, Mozang Dashi couldn't have noticed it." Tuoba Yan still couldn't believe it, he looked at the sea of fire in the distance in a daze, but his heart was uneasy.
"Khan, get out of the way." Qin Luo looked worriedly at the dark woods around him, "They may have ambushes around. ”
Sure enough, as soon as Qin Luo's voice came, countless torches suddenly lit up in the silent woods just now. Tuoba Yan clearly saw that there were thousands of troops hidden in the woods, and the leader was Mozang Dasi himself.
"Haha, I didn't expect that." Riding on a tall horse, Mozang Dasi yelled at Tuoba Yan, "Khan, we have been waiting here for a long time, you have been surrounded by our group, surrender!" ”
Tuoba Yan looked at the team that suddenly appeared, and scolded angrily: "Daring, I am your khan, you actually want me to surrender, you traitor who betrayed Xiang Qiang." ”
Originally, Tuoba Yan posed as a khan, but he was still able to suppress the other party's ordinary soldiers. It's a pity that Tuoba's sneak attack made those soldiers completely chilled. So in order to survive, they decided to follow Mozang Da Sigan, perhaps this was their only way to live.
Qin Luo calmly looked around and analyzed: "Khan, we are already surrounded. ”
Tuoba Yan said coldly: "Don't be afraid, how many soldiers and horses can be hidden in the grove, let's rush out." ”
"Khan!" With Alem's gloomy face, he reported another bad news, "Another army from the northwest is coming, and it is estimated that it is General Guo Erhe's men." ”
Tuoba turned his horse's head and looked northwest. Sure enough, I saw a "fire dragon" winding and circling over there, and the soldiers held torches in their hands and rode their horses mightily.
"Guo Erhe's news is really fast." Tuoba Yan stared at Guo Erhe's team, and his eyes were about to pop out.
General Kutulu looked at the length of the procession and silently calculated in his heart, "Khan, they estimate that there are more than 50,000 people, we must rush out before they arrive, otherwise, we will definitely die." ”
"Where to break through?" Tuoba asked.
Qin Luo had long studied the formation of Mozang Dasi's encirclement, and he analyzed: "Break through to the south, where the formation is scattered, you can try it." ”
Tuoba Yan no longer had the heart to consider who leaked the secret, he pulled out the "snow tip", raised it high, and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "The whole army listens to the order, due south, break through with me!" ”
"Kill!" Thousands of Qingyun Iron Guards had never experienced any vicious battles, and their formation was not chaotic at all, picking up their swords and guns, and advancing to the south......
Mozang Dasi looked at each other proudly, then raised his hand and ordered, "Shoot the arrow!" ”
In an instant, ten thousand arrows were fired! General Kutulu and his eight Qingyun Iron Guards raised their thick and huge shields to protect them around Tuoba Yan and Qin Luo, blocking all the arrows. This was the first fierce battle Qin Luo experienced in his life, he had no martial arts, he was unarmed, and there was no other way than to follow Tuoba Yan closely.
For the first time, he saw so clearly what a battlefield was. This is something that no matter how much you read the military books, you can't experience it. Qin Luo saw that a Qingyun Iron Guard had just swung his knife and cut off the enemy's head, and in the next moment, three or four enemy soldiers outflanked him from the front and back, left and right, and shot out with spears, so that the person died.
Suddenly, another sharp arrow was shot at the Khan, Qin Luo was startled, and his heart was over. Unexpectedly, Qingyun Tiewei used his body to protect the Khan, and the arrow fell to the ground. Qin Luo looked at the man's corpse in a daze, wanting to say something, but couldn't say it. But apart from him, no one had time to be sad. If one of the guards is missing, someone else will immediately fill in to ensure that the Khan is safe here.
Tuoba Yan observed the battlefield, looked for loopholes in the other side, and methodically gave orders to General Kutulu and Alem. Qin Luo found that even Tuoba Yan had an experience of going to the battlefield once. Moreover, in the past three years, Tuoba Yan often secretly went to Qingyun Tiewei to train troops, and learned rich experience in leadership from Kutulu. Although our army is now at a disadvantage, everyone present is very calm and composed. Only Qin Luo calmly panicked......
His mind was a mess, and as far as the eye could see, it was all blood and corpses. He had no way to analyze and observe the situation like Tuobayan. Nor is there anything like General Kutulu, who wields his sword, charges into battle, and moves forward bravely. He endured the nausea in his chest, held the reins tightly, and kept himself up with the team, not to drag himself and others. He swallowed his exclamations and screams, not letting himself affect others, and he followed the khan step by step, trying to keep his body as low as possible, and blessed the arrows not to come here......
Suddenly, another group of men rushed from this side. Tuoba frowned, looking at the pair worriedly. Until the team of men and horses gradually approached, everyone saw the cyan flag held high in the air, printed with nine auspicious clouds!
Alem said in surprise: "Khan, it's the Qingyun Iron Guard, it's our reinforcements who have arrived." ”
"General Kutulu, did you arrange it?" Tuoba asked.
General Kutulu's face also showed a puzzled expression, "It's not me, I don't know who it is." ”
Only Qin Luo knew in his heart that it must be the second prince Tuoba Ling, who came to the rescue with all the Qingyun Iron Guards. He had already calculated that with Tuoba Ling's temperament, he would definitely not watch his younger brother fall into a crisis and sit idly by.
There were 10,000 people brought by Tuoba Ling, and their arrival quickly reversed the situation on the battlefield. I saw that Tuoba Ling asked Qingyun Tiewei to attack directly from a point outside the encirclement, and Tuoba Ling should cooperate with Tuoba Yan inside and outside, and quickly broke through the encirclement.
The two brothers finally reunited, although they had a fight not long ago, but the feeling for the rest of their lives after the catastrophe was really good. They hugged each other, and Tuoba Yan said gratefully, "Thank you, second brother." ”
Tuoba Ling said: "I knew that there was fraud in this matter, Qin Luo asked Jimmy to send me a message last night, so that I could prepare early." ”
Tuoba Yan glanced at Qin Luo and thanked him: "Thanks to you." ”
Qin Luo interjected at the right time: "Now that the gate of Danyang City is closed, I'm afraid I can't go back, it's better to go south and go to the wild valley." ”
"Wild Valley?" Tuoba Yan had an idea, "Yes, this place is good, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is large inside, which can accommodate tens of thousands of soldiers." ”
"Feasible." Tuoba Ling also nodded, "Khan, let's go." ”
Tuoba Yan looked coldly at the enemy troops who were scattered by the Qingyun Iron Guard, and wanted to pursue, but heard Qin Luo say: "Khan, let's withdraw first, Guo Erhe will be there soon." ”
Almost forgetting this stubble, Tuoba Ling turned his head to see Guo Erhe's army gradually approaching, and had to order: "The whole army retreats south." ”
In the Golden Palace, Mozang Kodun did not sleep all night. She stood at the highest point of the Golden Palace, looking out at the raging fire that was burning outside Danyang City. Her son, after all, chose to resist and chose the path of hostility to his mother. Fortunately, they received the information three days ago and made timely preparations, otherwise tonight would be the day of Mozang Dazi's death.
"Ah, if you are ungrateful, don't blame me for not missing the mother-son friendship." Looking up at the dark sky, Mozang Kodun remembered the sorceress who said that there is only one mother and son.
