The person who spoke was Xiao Qi, he deliberately slowed down his horse, quickly made a few simple traps on the side of the road, and then squatted in the grass. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhao Gu glanced back at Xiao Qi, raised the horsewhip again, and whipped it on the horse's body.

The horse was in pain, and immediately galloped up and ran in the opposite direction of the Liao soldiers.

Behind Zhao Gu, Li Fu and the others did the same, and the group rushed forward in a hurry.

Behind them, the Liao general had already divided his troops into two routes, one of which closely followed Zhao Gu and his party, and the other one was a hundred cavalry to chase the villagers on horseback.

After the Liao soldiers ran for a while, they came to the simple trap made by Xiao Qi, and suddenly a thin tripwire was triggered, but it was Xiao Qi who hid in the dark and activated the mechanism, and the first four horses suddenly fell to the ground.

One of the war horses behind him was not stopped, and he stepped on it directly, trampling the four horses that fell to the ground and the people on the horse to death on the spot.

This is not over, this sudden change frightened many horses in the cavalry, and they raised their hooves and called, and I don't know how many Liao soldiers were overturned.

Xiao Qi hid in the dark, and gently pulled the mechanism, and a bamboo-like thing suddenly shot out of the ground, and then rows of thin steel needles shot out of the bamboo tube, all of which were submerged into the bodies of the Liao cavalry and horses, and harvested the lives of more than a dozen people on the spot.

The war horse that was shot by the steel needle seemed to be convulsed, and spun around in place impatiently, no matter how much the knight on the horse appeased.

The corners of Xiao Qi's mouth hooked up a smile, and he rode away on his horse.

At this time, the Liao soldiers were already in a mess, and they couldn't chase Xiao Qi anymore, so they could only get off the horse first to appease the horses.

Three hundred Liao cavalry were blocked by Xiao Qiyi on a mountain road that was not too wide.

Zhao Gu and his party galloped on horseback, and soon crossed the hillside outside the village, standing at the highest point, Zhao Gu looked back, and the Liao soldiers were all blocked by Xiao Qi, and they would not be able to catch up for a while.

But not being able to catch up for the time being does not mean that you will never be able to catch up, this is still on the territory of Liao, and it is impossible for Han Derang to bring only a few hundred people to surround Zhao Gu and others.

"Drive!"

With a heavy slap on the horse's buttocks, Zhao Gu caught up with Li Fu in front of him and said, "Master Li, if you continue to run like this, we will all have to die here?" ”

"What advice does Master Hou have?" Li Fu asked.

Zhao Gu said: "It's time to divide the troops, let Xiao Qi and them divide four people, protect you and Guoshu and go first, and I and the other three stay to lead away the Liao soldiers." ”

Xiao Yi and the other six people looked stunned, they also realized the seriousness of the situation, so they all looked at Li Fu and waited for his reply.

Li Fu didn't express his position immediately, and after pondering for a moment, he asked, "Master Hou, are you sure that Han Derang is here for the national letter?" And not to keep you? If they were only to arrest you, and we had the audacity to divide our forces, wouldn't you be in danger? ”

Zhao Gu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Lord Li, you think too highly of me, this national letter Yan Ming Liao will attack Western Xia with us, once Western Xia is captured by my Great Song Dynasty, Liao State will lose its allies to restrain Great Song, with their state at this time, if Great Song manages it well, not only can Western Xia be recovered, but Liao State will be destroyed by us sooner or later, how can I Zhao someone, how can I compare with such an important national book?" ”

Li Fu shook his head: "No, the old man thinks that you are more important than this national letter, if you are taken away by the Liao State, they will definitely have a chance to turn defeat into victory, you Marquis Zhao has this ability." ”

"Then I'll have to be willing to help them."

Zhao Gu knew that Li Fu would not agree, he was a particular person, and he refused to leave Zhao Gu and run away alone, this mood was understandable.

But now is not the time to talk about this, the situation is urgent, and Zhao Gu can't care about his feelings.

Zhao Gu directly ordered Xiao Xiao: "Now the Liao soldiers haven't gone up that hillside, which means that they can't see us at all, the four of you brothers and sisters will immediately take Master Li to hide in the grass in front of you, and the remaining three will continue to run forward and lead away the Liao army, whether you can let this letter of state return to the Great Song Dynasty depends on the four of you." ”

Li Fu was about to object, but Xiao Yi directly ordered: "Yes." ”

From his determined eyes, you can see a strong color of determination.

"Take care."

After saying this, Xiao Yi tapped his toes, and flew up lightly, landing in the deep grass beside the road.

The same is true for the second, third, and fourth grades, which burrow into the grass without leaving a trace.

Li Fu was also taken away by them, and with their light skills, it was nothing to bring one more person.

Zhao Gu breathed a sigh of relief, and then took Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu to abandon the main road and rushed into another small road, and Li Fu and their five horses naturally followed.

This trail is rugged, only enough for a horse to run, and it can have a good blocking effect on the cavalry of the large army of Liao soldiers.

Soon, Xiao Qi also followed, he glanced slightly at the grass where Xiao Yi and they were hiding, and then went up the trail.

Han Derang then also rushed here with his troops, and Han Derang's lieutenant asked: "General, there are two roads here, should we divide our troops to prevent the Song people from cheating." ”

Han Derang shook his head: "The Song people have always been timid and afraid of things, especially those literati who are officials, and they take their lives very seriously, and I don't think they will act like this." ”

"But Zhao Gu is not an ordinary person, he seems to be a person who can do this kind of thing." Adjutant General Dao,

Han Derang nodded, and asked people to go down to check, but found that the horseshoe prints led directly to the trail, and there were no traces elsewhere, and the horseshoe prints on this road were very regular, not like someone had dismounted halfway.

"So be it."

Han Derang thought for a while: "This trail and this big road both lead to one place, for the sake of safety, let's divide the troops into two routes, you take a hundred people to pursue from the trail, and I will take the remaining two hundred people to the front to steal them." ”

"Remember, our first priority is to snatch the national letter, which must not be taken to the Great Song Dynasty, and the other ...... Zhao Gu can stay, if he can't stay, he will kill him. ”

"Yes."

After speaking, the two quickly divided their troops again, and each led someone to chase after them.

On the other side, the sturdy men of the small mountain village rode their horses and soon got into the mountains and forests, which made the hundred cavalry who chased here very distressed, so they had to give up their horses and chase them in on foot.

This mountain forest area is very large, the road is difficult, and in many places there is not even a road, but this is not difficult for the men who have lived here since childhood, and with their experience, they quickly left the Liao soldiers far away.

After discussing it, several Liao soldiers felt that this was not a problem, so they simply divided their troops again and surrounded them in four directions.

When the men found out about the plans of the Liao soldiers, many people were panicked, although they dared to deal with the Liao soldiers with their blood, but after all, they were just ordinary farmers, but they did not have the courage to fight the Liao soldiers head-on.

Once they surround the Liao soldiers, it is foreseeable that none of the men here will survive.
