Chapter 217: Buried Together
The guards were scattered throughout the woods, with two trumpets per fire, and now a dozen marching trumpets were ready. Xue Shao imitated Zhang Fei's practice in Changhan Slope in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and asked someone to cut down a branch and hang it on the saddle, and later rode a horse in the woods with the sound of the horn, as a suspicious soldier.
Everyone acted very quickly, one was well-trained, and the other was pressed for time. Every second, people's lives are lost.
The men and horses in front were only 300 meters away, and the people were fleeing in a hurry, and the Turkic soldiers behind were frantically covering up. The few people who chased after them had already rushed into the crowd of people, and the knives in their hands fell like chopping melons and vegetables, and their heads and limbs flew wildly, and blood splattered and screamed.
The eyes of every Tang army soldier seemed to be about to breathe fire, but everyone did not act rashly, waiting for the order of the three swords.
In addition, Sandao stood by Xue Shao's side and stared ahead, his face was still hideous, his eyes were as cold as ice, and he held a cavalry horn in his hand.
"In this scene, the audience can come up with a hundred strategies; But in the face of such a scenario, ordinary people's hearts are already blank and they can't think at all. Even these battlefield veterans I brought with me will only do what they are told. Sandao's hoarse voice sounded low, obviously speaking to Xue Shao, "You are definitely not an ordinary person. If it weren't for the countless lives and deaths that have been fought in a hundred battles, there would not be such calmness; If it weren't for his resourcefulness, he wouldn't have come up with such a plan in such a time of crisisβcan you tell me, who are you? β
Xue Shao said: "Get drunk another day, and you should be advised!" β
Guo Sandao barely looked back at Xue Shao, nodded, and blew the horn in his hand.
"Woo-woo!!"
Immediately afterward, a dozen horns sounded together, and the knights who were ready to ride their horses galloped through the woods, and smoke and dust rose everywhere. At the same time, everyone let out a loud roar.
Where can the people running in front of them still care about the strangeness in front of them, the scimitars in the back are almost cutting their necks, they only know how to run for their lives, and they run in a panic.
But the Turks did not react in this way, and the horns of the Tang army were different from their own horns, and they could hear them at once.
At that moment, the Turks who were running at the forefront stopped in astonishment. About one or two hundred riders also stopped in turn, looking at the woods hesitantly.
"Killβ" Xue Shao and the others slapped the armor on their bodies with their swords, making a loud metal knocking sound. Looking at the woods again, the smoke and dust in the sky exceeded the tips of the trees, like thousands of horses galloping in.
The Turks made a whistle, turned their horses and ran.
"Raise the flag and rescue the people - hurry up!" The three knives ordered loudly.
Several banners of the Tang Army ran out of the woods and ran towards hundreds of people.
"We are the king of the Tang Dynasty, don't be surprised!!"
"Fast into the woods! - Hurry up, hurry up!! β
The people let out a cry of joy and misery, and they rushed towards the woods.
"Don't take the official road again, all go into the woods!"
"Hurry, hurry!!"
Xue Shao and all the guards rushed out of the woods, pulling the people into the woods as much as they could.
Everyone knows in their hearts that the Turks are not idiots. Once they find that there are no thousands of troops to kill, they have been deceived and humiliated, and with their character, they will definitely turn over and kill back.
Time is very short, if you can't hide in the woods before the Turks come back, standing on this official road is a live target. The Turkic horseman's riding and archery kung fu is not vegetarian, this ethnic group that grew up on horseback, eight or nine-year-old children are proud of wearing a hundred steps!
When the people ran here, many of them were exhausted. Especially some women, the elderly and children, they can't run at all. Especially when they saw Tang Jun, their desire to survive and life potential that burst out in the face of death slackened slightly, and many people couldn't climb on the ground.
Xue Shao and the others could only drag and carry these people on their backs, desperately drilling into the woods.
In the north, the sound of horses' hooves went and returned.
You can't use the suspicious tactic twice, this is really a disaster!
"Brothers, swear to defend it!!" The three knives turned over and the horse was raised.
All the officers and men of the Tang Army turned over their horses and shouted angrily, "Swear to defend it to the death!" β
Xue Shao shouted: "Folks, quickly flee into the depths of the dense forest!" Don't look back, don't stay! Go to the south, go to the state!! β
"YouβYou're just a few of you?!" A man shouted in frustration, "Yanmen has fallen, thousands of Turkic soldiers are sacking the county and county seats, you can't stop itβrun away together!" β
When everyone heard this, they were shocked at the same time - Yanmen has really fallen!
"Let's go!! ββ" Guo Sandao rode over and roared loudly, "We are the guards of the Tang Dynasty, and we will stop them desperately!" Folks, run away! Take the mountain road to the state! There is our main king division there!! β
"Okay, okay......"
The people gritted their teeth and got up, and fled into the dense forest in all directions.
Guo Sandao knocked Xue Shao's armor with a horse lance, "You also go and report the military situation here to General Li." β
"You asked me to be a deserter?" Xue Shao glared angrily.
"Although I don't know your identity, I know that you are a talent." Besides, Sandao still had a hideous face, and his words were cold, "You must not die in this kind of place." β
"Isn't it all a life?" Xue Shao said in a deep voice, "We have all sworn not to live together, but to die together!" β
"It's an order." The third sword said coldly, "If you are still a soldier of the third brigade of Xun Yifu!" β
"......" Xue Shao's face twitched, and he was speechless for a moment.
The three knives and a lance pointed at Niu Ben, "You, protect Chengyu and go together!" Make sure he arrives safely! β
"I'm not going! I'm going to fight those bastards! Niu Ben yelled.
"Bang!"
In addition, three knives and a lance slapped on Niu Ben's helmet, "If there is another disobedient person, one more lance will be stabbed to death!" β
"Chengyu, Niu Ben, go!" Several of the guards shouted, "If you have the chance, move us to that village and bury us with our brothers who died there!" β
"Next year's Qingming, come and give us incense!"
"Let's go! - It's too late! β
"If you don't leave, you will turn your face, and I won't recognize you as brothers in the next life!"
Xue Shao grabbed Niu Ben, "Let's go!" β
"I ...... No...... Go! The cow cried loudly.
"Bang!" Another lance slapped on Niu Ben's armor.
"Don't cry!!" "Remember, you're not deserters!" You have an arduous mission, and you have to hand over the military information here to General Li Zhidao! - Don't let us die in vain, we must complete the mission! β
"Yes! - Xue Shao promised loudly, his voice was hoarse. It's like the voice of the three knives.
In Sandao's often cold eyes, a rare warmth flashed, and a smile even appeared on his muscle-twisted face, "If we all die, who will bury us?" β
As soon as these words fell, Guo Sandao shouted "drive" angrily, turned the horse's head and waved the horse lance and rushed forward.
"Drive-"
All the Xun Yifu Yue riders rushed forward.
Ahead, the Turkic cavalry was pressed by black, rolling in!
"Brother......!" Niu Ben cried loudly.
Xue Shao gritted his teeth and tears reached the edge of his eyes, desperately pulling the ox and running into the woods. Helplessly, Niu Ben was too cumbersome, and his strength was too great, and Xue Shao tried his best to pull this bull a few steps.
"Stupid bear, if you don't go again, Lao Tzu stabbed you!"
"Let's goβ" Niu Ben roared, suddenly grabbed Xue Shao and carried him up, and began to run wildly through the dense woods in great strides.
"You're crazy, let Lao Tzu down!" Xue Shao shouted.
"Don't let go, don't let go, don't let go!" Niu Ben shouted, "The commander of the situation said, I must let you arrive in Bingzhou safely!" β
"Lao Tzu has legs, he can walk by himself!"
"I'm just your brother, let me carry you away!" Niu Ben cried loudly and carried Xue Shao, running wildly. It really looks like a black bear in the jungle.
"What a fucking stupid bear you are! I don't want any horses!! Xue Shao was almost thrown up on his back, smashing his armor with the hilt of his knife.
"Ugh! β¦β¦ Horses, our horses!! β
With a plop, Niu Ben threw Xue Shao to the ground, and ran back to bring two horses.
Xue Shao was almost hit by him until he was dizzy and couldn't get up, and scolded, "Pig! You're a live pig!! β
A hundred paces away from the woods, a fierce battle had begun.
Xue Shao and Niu Ben didn't even dare to look back, gritted their teeth and ruthlessly, each led a horse into the dense forest, and hurriedly withdrew into the southern dense forest with the fleeing people.
Running for your life is running for your life, which can only be described by Zhang Yi and Lian Rolling Crawling. There were about four or five hundred people in the mountains, and they were wandering in the jungle without sunlight, and Xue Shao had to shout loudly from time to time to gather these people, so as not to get scattered and lost in the jungle, or be eaten by wild beasts alone.
The cavalry of the Turks easily did not dare to break into the dense woods. Coupled with the fact that Sandao and others swore to block it to the death, it seemed that there was no chasing soldiers into the woods for a while, and Xue Shao breathed a sigh of relief.
In my heart, it is even heavier.
After escaping for an hour or two, he found a small stream. Xue Shao beckoned the people to rest by the stream, and those who had dry food could eat some dry food, and those who didn't have dry food would be good to add a little water.
Xue Shao and Niu Ben were surprisingly silent all the way, and now they were sitting together back to back, and they could only take care of panting.
Long.
"White-faced, ...... you say" Niu Ben suddenly spoke, "Can we still see the handsome situation?" β
"Yes." Xue Shao's answer was categorical.
Niu Ben suddenly showed a surprised expression, and immediately pouted in disappointment, "You lied to me!" β
Xue Shao stood up and kicked him, Niu Ben screamed as if he was very afraid of pain, and smirked.
"White-faced, you say ......"
"Lao Tzu has a name!"
"Undertaking ...... What's that, you say! Niu Ben babbled, "When people die, do they all go to the same place?" β
Xue Shao nodded.
Niu Ben smiled after a while, "That's it!" - I'm going to die anyway, and I'll see these brothers again sooner or later! β
Xue Shao gritted his teeth and was silent.
"I seem to have heard you say that you want to get drunk with the brigade commander, remember to call me when the time comes!" The cow ran and chattered.
Xue Shao was still silent, his eyes tingling.
"In the future, when I die, I will be buried with them!" Niu Ben's voice trembled.
Xue Shao's tears rolled out at once, and he kicked Niu Ben's ass angrily.
"Bury your uncle! Bury your uncle! Xue Shao roared loudly while kicking.
"I don't have an uncle, I'm born alone!" Niu Ben was a little frightened, and said timidly, "White face...... Inherit that, you ......"
Xue Shao kicked up a few times again, "Shut up Lao Tzu!! β
"Okay, okay, I'll shut up...... Heroes spare their lives! Niu Ben begged for mercy like a rat holding his head.
At this moment, the people who were resting in front of them suddenly let out an exclamation and commotion.
"Don't be afraid!!" Xue Shao drew his sword out of the sheath and rushed over with one arrow step.
Niu Ben roared loudly and grabbed his Da Mo knife, jumping up like a black bear, "The Tang Guards are here, who dares to hurt the people and chop them into meat paste to make buns!" β
