Text Section 411 The long knife falls to the ground
At the foot of the mountain, Lu Mu stared at the dark mountain forest with reddened eyes. Lu Mu was a little crazy, except for the Fang Gu Chao cavalry battalion on guard, all the others were sent into the mountains and forests. Even if it is three feet into the ground, Duan Lang will be dug out tonight.
In the mountains and forests, rows of guards are armed with bows and crossbows, and behind them are spears and sword guards. These people advanced little by little, and whenever they encountered something suspicious, they first shot a row of cold arrows. Several areas have been investigated, and now the places where Duan Lang and the others can hide are getting smaller and smaller.
In the back mountain where the gravel and ditches are intertwined, Duan Lang is holding a halberd in front of him and carefully exploring the way. Don't look at this mountain forest and the mountain is not high, but many of the gravels are very loose. Invisibly, it has become a natural warning stone for the defense of soldiers and horses under the mountain. Duan Lang didn't dare to let the boulder roll down and alarm the soldiers and horses under the mountain, otherwise there would be a random number of arrows, plus the guards searching behind them, they would not be able to escape if they wanted to.
"Be careful, everyone, follow my route, don't slip on the rocks." Duan Lang said in a low voice.
The eighteen guards behind Duan Lang were one after another, and everyone separated the injured brothers and took care of them separately. Especially the two people who were hit by arrows in the legs, they were personally assisted by Gu Fan and Xiang Tian. Everyone walked very carefully, and every time Duan Lang took a step, he had to cautiously test whether the stones in front of him were weathered and relaxed.
Duan Lang and the others not only had to keep an eye on the bottom of the mountain, but also had to guard against the guards patrolling on the top of the mountain. Fortunately, the darkness before dawn concealed their figures, and the search of many guards had already startled the birds, so Duan Lang and the others were able to carry out quietly.
The journey down the mountain was more than halfway, and looking at the torch lit in the barracks below, Duan Lang asked everyone to rest for a while.
Duan Lang pointed to a dark place on the right side of the camp and said, "Listen, everyone, that area is where the war horses are located. After going down the mountain, quietly move over there, once discovered by the enemy soldiers, Xia Lei Jin truthfully a few of you injured do not have to stay, and directly kill the stable. Gu Fan and I will block it for you. Everyone remembered that after seizing the war horse and withdrawing to the northwest, that position was the weakest link between Lu Mu and Moro's soldiers and horses. Killing from that direction is the easiest route. ”
Xiang Tian hesitated for a moment and said, "Duan Shuai, the enemy soldiers will be handed over to me and Gu Fan and the others, and you must take the lead in obtaining the war horse." ”
Everyone understood that going down the mountain was only the first step, obtaining the war horse was the second step, and the most critical step was the third step, that is, whether a dozen of them could rush out of the defense area of Long Mu. After all, these people are not iron-clad, and this night of fighting, fighting, hiding, hiding and being injured, everyone's physical strength has reached the limit of their bodies. If they hadn't been injured at first, it wouldn't have been difficult for them to fight their way out. But now, everyone's combat effectiveness has been reduced to a minimum, and no one dares to guarantee whether they will survive or not. In the hearts of the eighteen guards, as long as Duan Lang can evacuate safely, it will be the biggest victory for them.
Xia Lei clenched his fists and said, "Duan Shuai, our duty and mission is to protect your safety. At this time, I beg your pardon for being rude and no longer obeying your orders. Gu Fan to the sky, after going down the mountain, you protect Duan Shuai and leave. The task of blocking the enemy soldiers will be entrusted to our brothers. Brothers, now is a special situation, let's go against Duan Shuai's military order once. ”
Everyone understood who the brothers Xia Lei was talking about, no one objected to it, and no one agreed, and everyone almost formed a unified opinion in silence. That is, the injured used their last fight to ensure Duan Lang's safe evacuation.
Duan Lang glanced at Xia Lei, his eyes became sharp, "Listen, from now on, I am no longer your Duan Shuai, but the emperor of the Great Calendar Kingdom." I now decree that everyone must act according to my intentions, and those who disobey the orders of the dishonored~, you are no longer my brothers. And I also tell you that with such an evacuation, I, Duan Lang, will never leave. ”
"Duan Shuai, Xia Lei is right, you will listen to everyone once. You are different from us, you are the Jishan Emperor of the Great Calendar Kingdom. "Pleaded with heaven.
Duan Lang shook his head and scolded strongly, "Fart, we're all the same, I, Duan Lang, am just a wild child who grew up in the mountains and forests." My brothers have been following me for so long, they should know my Duan Lang's temper. If you still regard me as an emperor, you should obey the king's orders. Don't say anything, do my will. ”
Duan Lang couldn't threaten everyone with killing without forgiveness, and after all these years of conquest, the eighteen guards had almost become a shadow that he couldn't live without. Although everyone has been rewarded as generals, these people have always regarded themselves as Duan Lang's personal guards. In Duan Lang's heart, he regards Gu Fan Xiangtian and others as his most trusted relatives and brothers.
Seeing that Jin Rushi still wanted to speak, Duan Lang's eyes widened, "Shut up, don't say anything, and get ready to act." ”
Duan Lang said, turning around and preparing for the next trip. The road below is much easier to walk than on the mountain, at least there is no more gravel that seems to be rolling down the hill at any moment. Duan Lang was afraid that if it was delayed any longer, these guys didn't know what the hell they were going to think of.
Just as Duan Lang stood up, he suddenly heard a sound behind him, and a mountain rock was trampled on by someone without knowing it. Gu Fan stretched out his knife to block the rolling down of the rock, but he was a step too late.
Duan Lang was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Quick, lean over and hide." ”
The people who were about to stand up fell to the ground one after another. Now they are halfway up the mountain, and if they find a place to hide, I am afraid that more rocks will roll down. Leaning over the ground is the best way to hide. But whether you can hide it from the soldiers and horses under the mountain, it's hard to say.
The rolling gravel on the hillside alarmed the guards patrolling below. One by one, figures rushed out of the camp to the foot of the mountain, holding bows and crossbows aimed at the mountain. The night was so jubilant that no one in the Moro camp dared to sleep and rest. Except for the cavalry's horses, which were temporarily put into the stables, all the guards wore armor and prepared for battle in the military tents.
Duan Lang licked his dry lips, now they can't go up or down, once they are discovered, they can only die in battle. Even if they are not discovered, the guards below only need to be on guard until dawn, and they still have no way to escape. At this moment, the only thing Duan Lang could think of was to pray to God.
A thousand generals under the mountain stared at the halfway up the mountain, and at this moment, a black shadow screamed and rushed into the air. The Qian Zong looked up at the black shadow and cursed in his mouth.
"Damn, it's a big bird. Brothers, in addition to the normal personnel on duty, each team brought back. ”
The crossbowmen retreated to the camp in rows, and Duan Lang, who was halfway up the mountain, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, at a critical time, the very spiritual Da Fei covered everything for them. Da Fei chirped a few times in the air, Duan Lang heard it, pondered for a while, and responded to a few birdsongs. Dafei spread his wings and left, and soon disappeared into the night. Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief, if Da Fei hadn't appeared in time to distract the other party's suspicions, they really didn't know what to do next.
Sun Cheng, who had a leg injury, said ashamedly, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, and I almost affected everyone." Duan Shuai, let's go, I'll stay. Otherwise, follow you, I'm afraid~! ”
Without waiting for him to finish, Duan Lang scolded angrily, "What nonsense, follow suit." The road below is easier to walk, to the sky, take care of Sun Cheng now. ”
Xiang Tian hugged his fist, "Duan Shuai can rest assured, even if he carries this kid down the mountain." ”
"Okay, keep going."
Duan Lang said, the halberd in his hand stretched forward, carefully pressing down on a mountain rock that seemed to be about to roll down. Everyone followed behind Duan Lang, moving forward step by step with great caution. I have to say that this journey is much better than just now, and Duan Lang and the others finally came to the bottom of the mountain in about a stick of incense. Duan Lang leaned over against the ground, using his sharp eyes to carefully remove the various mechanism settings in front of him. When Duan Lang crawled to the edge of the pit, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. All the traps in his path were removed, and the pit was the last obstacle. Moreover, Duan Lang had also observed those archers just now, indicating that there was no trap set on the other side of the pit.
It was only thirty paces from the camp opposite, and the low fence could not stop them from climbing over. Duan Lang closed his eyes, and listened carefully with his keen sense of hearing. When a team of patrol guards had just walked by, Duan Lang's eyes opened and he waved behind him.
Duan Lang stood up suddenly, and quickly ran towards the fence along the edge of the criss-crossing pits. Behind Duan Lang, everyone also cheered up and rushed to the fence quickly.
Duan Lang came to the fence and leaned towards the fence, "Quick, go over." ”
The crowd did not dare to delay, and there was no time for arguments. Gu Fan gritted his teeth, ran two steps and stepped on Duan Lang's bowed back, and crossed the fence with a pout. Immediately after, Xiang Tian and the others stepped over one by one. Even Sun Cheng and Wang Hai, who were injured in the leg, endured the pain and did not affect his movements. Duan Lang was the last to climb over the fence, and at this time, Jin Rushi and the others had already gone to fetch the war horse, and Gu Fan was cautious to the sky and the others. Seeing that he hadn't been discovered yet, Duan Lang waved his hand, and everyone rushed to the stable.
As soon as he got on the horse, even the wounded seemed to be injected with vitality. At least now you can fight to your heart's content, even if you die in battle. It's not like it's in the mountains and forests, where the opponent's cold arrows will be shot as soon as they make a move. Moreover, there is no knife formation in the mountains and forests, so they are a little restrained. Don't look at Gu Fan Xiangtian and the other eighteen guards with strong combat effectiveness, but they are really not suitable for fighting in the mountains and forests. Of course, Duan Lang is different from them, entering the mountains and forests is like a fish in water.
"Quick, follow me." Duan Lang shouted, and the horse rushed to the northwest.
Duan Lang knew that although they killed the guards guarding the stables without being discovered, as soon as the war horse neighed, they didn't even want to hide it anymore. Fortunately, it didn't take much effort to capture the war horse, and the journey was quite smooth. As long as they reach the fence on the northwest side of the camp, no one will be able to stop them from retreating.
More than a dozen war horses moved, which immediately alarmed the patrol and guards. The gong sounded, and the entire camp suddenly became restless like boiling water. The guards quickly rushed out of the tents, and many of them ran to the stables. Taking advantage of the other party's chaos, Duan Lang and the others were like tigers entering the flock, and the screams suddenly filled the camp.
Long Mu rushed out of the big tent and stared at the place where the battle was fighting in the camp in shock. He knew that Lu Mu's army was searching the mountain, but the Moro guards had already explored the back mountain and there was no way down the mountain at all. What's more, those loose gravels can fall down the mountain with stones if you are not careful. With such a dangerous mountain road, Long Mu couldn't imagine how these people had quietly come down.
"Quick, shoot the arrow and inform Lu Dudu. Spread the order, and set up an arrow array on the periphery to block Duan Lang. ”
Long Mu calmly issued the military order, since Duan Lang wanted to escape from his defense area, this was also a great achievement for Long Mu. He didn't believe that Duan Lang was so legendary that he could kill in and out of hundreds of thousands of troops. Don't look at Long Mu, there are only tens of thousands of troops, but they are all elites who survived the war. If Duan Lang could be captured alive, Long Mu felt that even if he was not seriously injured by Wupol Khan, he would at least be able to make up for it.
A fiery snake shot into the air, and Duan Lang saw the other party's signal arrow, and knew that he had to rush out before Lu Mu's army could come around. Otherwise, none of them would want to leave alive. After all, after a night of fighting, everyone was extremely tired and simply could not maintain the most peak combat effectiveness.
"Kill~ Don't stay~ Keep rushing!"
Duan Lang flew up and down with a halberd in his hand, shouting and rushing forward. Now among these people, he is the only one who can still maintain his vigorous combat effectiveness. Don't look at Duan Lang, who also ran around in the mountains and grew up drinking wolf milk, giving full play to his natural advantages.
Gu Fan Xiangtian and the others were also crazy, everyone knew that this was the most critical moment. Rushing out is the sea and the sky, and if you can't rush out, you can only be sacrificed in the coming year. It is even said that it is very likely that even the bones will not be found.
The first light appeared on the horizon, and the earth covered in darkness ushered in the dawn. Duan Lang and the others cooperated with each other and finally reached the northwestern part of the camp. Duan Lang shouted excitedly, and with the help of the momentum of the war horse, the halberd in his hand suddenly picked off a general who was blocking in front. Bypassing the last military tent, just as Duan Lang was about to lift his horse over the fence, he suddenly grabbed the war horse. Duan Lang's eyes showed a look of shock, and he stared closely ahead.
Less than a hundred feet outside the fence, shields were erected. Behind the shields, there were rows of archers who had been waiting for a long time. Gu Fan Xiangtian and the others also pulled the war horse, and when they saw the battle array on the opposite side, everyone's hearts cooled. Because they know that no one can survive the rain of arrows as long as they cross the fence. But without crossing this fence, they will never be able to get out.
"Duan Shuai, kill back and go from the other side." Gu Fan hurriedly shouted.
Duan Lang glanced back, and the Moro soldiers and horses in the camp did not rush over, but set up a formation not far behind them. It seems that the other party intends to capture them alive.
Duan Lang's face was as cold as ice, and he said bitterly, "Brothers, I can't go, how many can I kill today." I, Duan Lang, am sorry for you, and if there is an afterlife, I will repay you. ”
Jin Rushi laughed twice, "Duan Shuai, when you arrive at the Yama Palace, you are also our king." Follow you, brothers don't lose. ”
"Come on, kill him, and go back to the Yama Temple to drink." Xiang Tian also shouted arrogantly.
The crowd turned their horses' heads around, and since there was an arrow array in front of them, their target turned behind them.
Duan Lang took a deep breath and raised the halberd in his hand, "Brothers, form a rushing and killing formation, and kill happily." Get ready for battle! ”
After Duan Lang finished speaking, he didn't hear everyone shouting in unison. On the contrary, it was Jin Rushi, Liu Xi and others, whose arms were so sore, that they were unable to lift the heavy long knife.
Bang bang bang ~ a few dull sounds, and the long knives in their hands fell to the ground one after another. Duan Lang raised the halberd in his hand and didn't look back, but his heart was dripping blood. Jin Rushi, Liu Xi and the others glanced at each other, reached out and pulled out the war knife on their backs. No one is afraid in the face of life and death, and if you can't hold a heavy long knife, then use the sword to fight the enemy. On the contrary, when the Moro soldiers saw the fierce eyes of Duan Lang and the others, many of them showed fear.
Just as Duan Lang was about to raise his halberd to kill, he suddenly heard two sharp chirps coming from the air. Immediately afterward, the ground trembled slightly, and a warning horn was heard in the distance.
Duan Lang's eyes lit up, and he suddenly looked back. At the dawn of dawn, Duan Lang saw a large banner behind the enemy's arrow array rushing towards this side quickly. With Duan Lang's super vision, he clearly saw that on the banner, there was a blood-colored word 'dragon' embroidered.
