Chapter 53: Not Simple Peng Lie
"Captain, what should I do?" Liu Piaoyi quietly leaned behind Ling Xia, glanced at the formation opposite, and said in a low voice: "Otherwise, let's follow the mess first and find an opportunity to kidnap that captain, as long as we have hostages, presumably those people won't dare to do anything to us." ”
"Nonsense, if you really kidnap that captain, if you don't say anything else, this battle against bandits will be lost, and then thousands of soldiers of the Battle Guard will die because of us, can you bear to accept the consequences?" Ling Xia vetoed Liu Piaoyi's proposal.
Originally, Peng Lie wanted to take advantage of the situation in front of him to create some chaos for Ling Xia, but when he heard the conversation between Ling Xia and Liu Piaoyi, he didn't know why? Unexpectedly changed his mind, hesitated for a moment, he rode on the back of the horse without saying a word, and let Lao Cui escort him.
Seeing that the commander was getting closer and closer, Ling Xia turned his heart sideways and said secretly, "Fight." Then, pretending to be excited, he shouted to the people behind him, "Brothers, the general has come to inspect the position."
We are fortunate to see the true face of the general with our own eyes, even if we die in battle, it is worth it, and the soldier dies for his confidant, since the general came to the battlefield to encourage the brothers, we can't be cowardly, brothers, fight with me, take the lead, and open the way for the general. ”
"Take the lead and open the way for the general!"
Everyone echoed Ling Xia and roared, seeing Ling Xia shaking the reins and rushing towards the direction of the main battlefield of Lin Jiabao, the others also showed their weapons and charged towards the bandits, the heavy armored cavalry of the five Luo brothers opened the way, the archer of Huya made up the shots, and Liu Piaoyi and Shangguan Hui were in charge of the two wings.
Because Ling Xia and the others were all riding war horses, and the five Luo brothers and the fifty heavy cavalry were unstoppable, so after a charge, the hundred-man team broke through four bandit gangs in a row, and strangled the dozens of bandit outposts that were blocking the road.
"No-------- no-------- you wait------- the general offensive hasn't started yet." The commander saw that he had just walked to him, and before he could speak, Ling Xia and the others rushed to the lead with excitement, and he was stunned for a moment.
"Those people are really messing around, didn't they just come to the battlefield to take a look? What a simple thing it is, I didn't expect them to be so excited. When Captain Wan heard Ling Xia's words, he thought that they were impressed by his domineering.
Seeing that Ling Xia and them were going straight into the camp of the bandits, and the other party's men and horses were also alarmed by the changes on this side, several groups of people and horses were assembling along the route, and the captain of Wan sighed slightly, raised his left hand and shouted loudly: "Pass the order, all the soldiers will attack." ”
Ling Xia led the team to eliminate several outposts, and seeing that the bandit camp and the battle guards had all dispatched troops, he glanced at the five Luo brothers, and then led the team to rush towards the sparsely populated place.
After the main forces of the battle guards and the bandits fought in an all-round way, Ling Xia and the others had already run away, and at this time, the two camps were all focused on the enemy, and no one noticed that Ling Xia and the others had left the battlefield.
"Captain, where are we? How do I feel like I'm still in the forest? Yang Lucai looked at the towering giant trees around him, and his face was full of distress.
"Don't ask me, I ran naked, I didn't see the road at all, and now I can't tell what this place is?" While speaking, Ling Xia took out the map, and after carefully distinguishing it, he pointed to the route on the map and said:
"The map only marks the edge of the forest, and the rest of the parts are not marked at all, this map is the war defense map of Mei'an Province, since there is no depiction of this forest on it, it means that the location of the forest no longer belongs to the boundary of Mei'an Province."
Analyzing this, Ling Xia put away the map and pointed in one direction, asking everyone not to walk around, as long as they follow one direction, they will definitely be able to get out of the forest, because the forest is densely wooded, and everyone can't ride a horse forward, so they can only lead the war horse and walk on foot.
Everyone walked for an afternoon, still did not go out of the forest, in the evening, seeing that it was already dark, Ling Xia ordered a temporary rest, everyone found a spacious and flat place to set up tents, and Yang Lucai arranged for someone to prepare dinner.
All of a sudden, everyone began to prepare for camping, some were responsible for picking up branches, some were responsible for pulling grass, some were looking for water from afar, and after the tent was set up, the materials for heating and cooking were almost ready.
Ling Xia asked Liu Piaoyi to shoot down a few wild pigeons with darts, and after cleaning them up, he stuck wild pigeons with branches, got some salt, noodle sauce, and chili powder from Yang Lucai, and started a barbecue on the spot.
Everyone had never seen this kind of practice, and they all stared at Ling Xia for a while, and when they saw everyone looking at themselves, Ling Xia suddenly came to his senses: "You don't know, buddy is actually a cooking soldier, and I relied on my superb cooking skills at the beginning......"
In order to prevent Peng Lie from escaping, Lao Cui tied him to a tree, because of the angle, he happened to be able to see Ling Xia, when Peng Lie saw Ling Xu as a centurion, but squatting on the ground without a frame holding a few wild pigeons, boasting to his subordinates about the past deeds with a proud face, his eyes showed a trace of memory and a smile.
"What does a person laugh at?" Just as Peng Lie was distracted, suddenly, there was a strong fragrance from his nostrils, and then a roasted pigeon was handed to him, and he looked up in surprise, Ling Xia was looking at him with a smile.
Helping Peng Lie untie the rope tied to his body, Ling Xia handed him the roasted wild pigeon, and then sat beside him, holding another roasted pigeon and feasting on it, looking at Ling Xia, Peng Lie took a big bite of the pigeon, and then ate it himself.
"For the sake of you inviting me to eat a roasted wild pigeon, I will give you a word of advice, the court is about to change, you take me to the imperial capital now, I will not escape death, you and your men are also in danger."
This was the first time Peng Lie spoke on the way to be escorted, and after saying this, Peng Lie threw the branch in his hand casually, and let Lao Cui tie himself to the tree, and he closed his eyes, still as cold and silent as before.
Glancing at Peng Lie meaningfully, Ling Xia's eyes showed a hint of suspicion, and after a while, after the soldiers were all full, Ling Xia asked everyone to take turns patrolling, while he repeatedly thought about Peng Lie's words from the tent.
"Ahh
"First class alert, there are swarms of beasts!"
When Ling Xia and the others were sleeping soundly, they suddenly heard a wolf howl, and then, the soldiers in charge of patrolling sent out a warning signal, and when they heard that there was a wild beast, everyone suddenly became agitated, and hurriedly ran out of the camp tent with weapons.
After Ling Xia and his subordinates all stood outside and gathered, they saw a burst of footsteps in the distance, and in the dark night, a pair of green eyes were particularly infiltrating, and in just a few breaths, thousands of pairs of eyes appeared around.
Through the illumination of the moonlight, Ling Xia saw the beasts on the opposite side clearly, and when he saw the appearance of those beasts clearly, he immediately gasped, it was actually a wild wolf, and the leader of the wolf king was the size of a calf.
After feeling the smell of these wild wolves, those war horses were all so frightened that they knelt on the ground and wailed, seeing so many wild wolves suddenly appear around, Ling Xia showed unprecedented solemnity, he didn't know if his people could defeat the wolves.
Seeing that the wolves were getting closer and closer, he asked everyone to form a circle, and the archers of Huya were responsible for the main attack, and seeing that Peng Lie was tied to the tree and couldn't move, he walked to the tree to help Peng Lie untie the rope: "Life and death are uncertain later, if you can escape, then leave." ”
After speaking, Ling Xia returned to the middle of the team and said to Liu Piaoyi and Yang Lucai: "Later, Boss Luo and I will block the wolves, Huya will lead people to attract the attention of the wolf king, and you will find an opportunity to escape from here, brothers, I can only help you do this." ”
Seeing that Ling Xia actually let himself and others leave at the moment of life and death, Liu Piaoyi and Yang Lucai all shook their heads, and after taking out their weapons, everyone said in a firm tone: "We said before, everyone lives and dies together, how can we escape from the battlefield?" ”
"Okay, in that case, then let's fight with those beasts, it wants our lives, and we have to abolish half of its race." Saying in a sonorous tone Here, Ling Xia thought about it and took out a jade bottle from his pocket.
After throwing the jade bottle at Peng Lie, who was standing aside in a daze, Ling Xia looked at him expressionlessly: "I wanted to pull you to back with us, but not just why?" I always have a feeling that you are not a bad person, just like Wu Zhenshan.
Now God has given you a chance, we are surrounded by wolves here, tonight may be glorious, this is your antidote, when you recover your strength, with your ability, you should be able to leave alive, although I joined the army, but I am not a person who loves to kill, you go. ”
When Peng Lie, who was originally expressionless, heard the name Wu Zhenshan, his face suddenly showed a trace of shock, and he looked at the antidote thrown by Ling Xia, his eyes showed a trace of struggle and hesitation, and after a few breaths, he sighed: "Alas------ one wrong step and one wrong step, regret not being at the beginning." ”
After saying this sentence without a beginning or an end, Peng Lie returned the antidote to Ling Xia, and then in the blank and puzzled expressions of Ling Xia and everyone, Peng Lie suddenly put his hands to his mouth and blew out a strange sound, after hearing Peng Lie's blowing sound, the wolves suddenly became restless.
As the wolves became restless, Peng Lie's voice became louder and weirder, and he didn't know what magic that sound had? After the wolf king in the lead howled a few times, he wagged his tail, turned around and walked into the distance, and when the wolf king left, the rest of the wolves also dispersed.
After driving away the wolves, Peng Lie seemed to be in great pain, his body shook, he sat on the ground with a tired face, and took a few breaths.
Everyone looked at Peng Lie in amazement, their eyes all showed disbelief, and some even pinched themselves hard, trying to determine whether they were dreaming or not.
Unlike the shock and surprise of others, when he saw Peng Lie able to drive away the wolves, there was a gleam in his eyes, he had seen many animal trainers before, and could communicate with lions, tigers, wild wolves, elephants, and even pythons and crocodiles, but it was the first time he had seen an ancient animal trainer.
Looking at the scattered wolves, Ling Xia suddenly thought of a detail that Ling Baiyu had told when he recounted the Yin Soldiers' borrowing of the Dao, before the ghost soldiers and ghosts appeared, someone drove many beasts to open the way from the front.
Recalling Peng Lie's expulsion of the wolves just now, Ling Xia secretly whispered in his heart: "It seems that you are not an ordinary fish that has slipped through the net, you can expel wild beasts, if this kind of person is used on the battlefield, it will be terrifying!" ”
