Chapter 203: Leave them all
So another small convoy of horses chased westward. Lirong heard that there was no major movement here, and thought that the enemy had already gone away, but she heard someone in the camp directing the horses into the camp, and someone said, "How many people are coming!" The blocks are well and hard and loosened! ”
I heard another person say, "Pack up these dozen people, bury the dead far outside the camp, and bandage these five wounded and wait for the tall man to come back and leave." So someone got busy.
She wanted to go down and have a look, so she squatted up on the tree, grabbed the trunk with her hand, thinking that it was difficult to get up the tree, and how difficult it could be to get down the tree, but found that her palms were full of sweat and had no strength at all, so she had to sit down again.
In the distance to the west, there were faint voices coming from me, but it didn't look like a big war, could it be that a battle of a few hundred against a hundred men was just a little bit of movement? She was suspicious, didn't the tall man chase after him and wipe him out, right? She thought of this and was busy "Bah, Bah" twice, and blessed Master Gao.
The dawn finally came in through the cracks in the branches, and Lirong leaned over the tree to look under the tree, and couldn't help but stick out her tongue. Here to the bottom of the tree is two of her height, although she is short, this distance is also dizzy.
After a while, she heard the people under the trees come back giggling, and drove a large herd of horses, and some people seemed to throw several large bundles of knives and guns into the ground, and heard many people say from a distance, "My lord, we have these horses for nothing, there are six hundred, why don't you let me be a little shepherd, and I don't need robes, I will take care of them!" ”
Someone laughed, "You official fan! ”
Lirong knew that Master Gao was victorious, so she was relieved, and she was in a hurry to come down, and she had the heart to call Lord Gao, but she was afraid that others would not know how to make fun of her if she heard it, so she waited patiently on the tree.
She listened to the people cleaning the camp and lighting a fire to cook. And there were men who divided their horses into herds, and what ours were theirs. She was anxiously on the tree, but she heard the tall man say under the tree, "Miss Lirong, did it scare you?" ”
She tilted her head from top to bottom, and saw the tall man standing under the tree with an oolong knife. She deliberately looked at the tall man's red official robe, and found that the red one didn't seem to be stained with blood. Seeing that Master Gao was in a good mood, he said, "I can't even get up, how can you let me go down?" ”
The tall man said, "How can you come down if you don't jump." ”
"You're telling me to jump? So high...... In case ......" she did not hide her timidity in front of the tall adults at all.
The tall man said, "Am I a wooden man?" Won't I pick you up? ”
Lirong heard what Master Gao meant, and she also knew Lord Gao's methods, and it would be absolutely fine to jump by herself, so she was anxious to try the feeling of jumping down.
No longer afraid, she squatted up from the nest in the tree and measured the position of the tall man under the tree. Don't hit him, but don't go too far. As soon as she let go, her body fell from the tree, as if she had left her mind on the tree.
Master Gao said, "Are you jumping?" ”
Lirong was in a squatting posture when she came down, and she was already sitting in the air, and the tall man stretched out the scabbard of the oolong knife, gently supported her buttocks, and helped her on the back with his hand to slow down her fall.
She sat on the scabbard and didn't wait for her body to shake, but the scabbard was withdrawn, and it was stuffed into her hand, and she clung to the ground and stood still. As if in a dream, she went to the ground again, and saw that the tall man was already walking ahead.
There were many more horses in the camp, so they had to be scattered outside in herds and gathered by the shepherds. There were countless weapons piled up on the ground, and the tall man picked out a knife that was not too heavy from it, wanted to give it to Lirong, and threw it back.
Three people from Futu City were tied up underground, and Lirong knew that two of them were Pheasant's retinue. She didn't know the other person, but it was also from Futu City that he was dressed in. The other five people had wounds on their arms, legs and feet, and were silent on the side, not knowing what to do with the tall man.
Lirong was anxious to know how this fight was fought, but Master Gao didn't say much, and these people under him rarely mentioned it, and Cheng Xin only kept her in the dark.
Lord Gao saw that breakfast was ready, beckoned everyone to eat, and said to Feng Zheng, "The three people of Futu City, each with twenty whips, and then find someone to send them back to Futu City, you can just throw them outside the city, and we will set off again after we come back." ”
He also said to his subordinates, "The five people in Gutun City, let them eat a little." ”
After everyone had eaten, they first pressed the three people of Futu City to the ground, and the three shepherds took horsewhips and whipped them twenty times each. The man who was beaten did not dare to squeak, but after the beating, he lifted himself up and put him on his horse, and went to the road of the three shepherds.
Master Gao said, "You shepherds also go and pick up the weapons that you have in hand, and you have nothing to practice." So Lian Muzi ran with forty stewards, and picked up swords and spears from the ground, and some people were already drawing on the ground.
The rest of the people rolled up their tents to pack up the pots and pans, and when the people who went to Futu City came back, the tall man asked, "Is there any trouble?" ”
The man who came back said that someone in the city saw him when he went, but he did not open the door immediately. We came a long way back before we went out of the city and carried the people back. Master Gao thought for a while and said, "I didn't get the rope back yet...... Departure. ”
Lirong sat on the horse, not knowing what Master Gao would do next, and what his plans were. But I just had a battle with the people of Gutun City, so I ran over with such a swagger, what if the people retaliated?
But when she saw that the tall man was sitting on the horse, she seemed to have already made a bamboo in her chest, and Feng Zheng and the others did not have an overly worried look on their faces, and those shepherds and herdsmen were still laughing along the way, so she relaxed a little and walked forward in the team.
From here to the west is a narrow valley, although the terrain on both sides is not very steep, but it is absolutely impossible to ride a horse, a dense forest at the mouth of the valley, and the big trees that the two of them hug abound.
One of the crossbowmen said, "We set up an ambush here at night, and when we went there we watched the tribesmen of the Lost Tribes sneak past on horseback, and none of us paid any attention to them. When we get back, it's time for us to show our talents! ”
Someone was curious and asked, "What the hell is going on?" Let's talk about it. ”
The crossbowmen said that they were lying in ambush here waiting for the men to return. The men fled back and rode to the mouth of the valley, thinking that they had rushed over and arrived home. Who knew that the sixteen shepherds sent here by Lord Gao had already stretched the cable in front of him half a horse's height, and went around the big trees on both sides for two turns, and then dragged the eight big men on both sides, who could run out?
It's even worse to run backwards, not to mention that there is also a thick rope blocking the road, and there are even more people behind who don't know how many people and horses are shouting to kill Zhentian. In the midst of the chaos, the forty archers standing on both sides of the valley had already aimed their arrows at them!
A few of them were bold and reckless, and they were shot under their horses in the blink of an eye by the crossbowmen who were lying in ambush in the nearby trees and in the grass beneath them. Fifteen crossbowmen are not many, but a hard crossbow can be loaded with seven sharp arrows that can be fired in single and continuous shots, and it is such a close distance, it is not a dozen and one accurate! The rest of the people waited for Master Gao to come and give a lecture.
"Master Gao said," someone shouted in the tone of Master Gao, "leave the three men of Futu City, the horses, the weapons, and the wine jugs...... and Lirong couldn't help but be happy when she heard this, and Lord Gao said again, "Leave the silver," and it was no different from the interception of the road.
