Chapter 204: Crisis (4)

Finally, when the sound of the explosion passed, only about 30 of the 100 Liao soldiers were still intact, and the other 70 were either dead or wounded. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

That is, the Liao soldiers who walked last were not harmed, but because the explosion had destroyed the road, they could no longer pursue on horseback.

"Oh my God, what is this!" A Liao soldier who survived exclaimed.

"Another explosion like this?"

"Quick, hurry up and go back the way you came and report the matter here to Lord Han!"

Hearing the explosion behind them, Zhao Gu and the others looked back and saw the scene behind them clearly at a glance.

Xiao Wu and the others were all dumbfounded, and then looked at Zhao Gu with a little horror as if they had seen a ghost.

Zhao Gu smiled slightly: "This is a new type of weapon, the current reserves are too small, I am afraid you will get tired of playing in the future." ”

Saying that, Zhao Gu and the others came to a turn again, dismounted at the blind corner of the Liao soldiers' sight, and slapped the horse's buttocks fiercely, driving the horse forward alone.

Zhao Gu and the others quickly got into the mountain, slightly discerned the direction, and soon got into the green forest and disappeared.

Soon, the sun came to the middle of the sky, indicating that at noon, Han Derang finally led people to block the end of the path.

"It's up to you how you run this time."

Han Derang smiled coldly and ordered, "Archers prepare." ”

A group of Liao archers immediately dismounted and aimed their bows and arrows at the end of the path, as long as Zhao Gu and the others appeared, the flying arrows would be shot immediately.

However, they were doomed to disappointment.

Han Derang waited here until dusk, but he never saw anyone appear, and he realized that he and the others might have been fooled.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves sounded on the road, and a Liao soldier with a white cloth tied to his right arm rushed over.

"Why are you here? What's the situation on the other side of the trail? Han Derang recognized that this was his lieutenant's soldier and asked.

The Liao soldier swallowed his saliva with a surprised expression, and only then did he tell the story of the attack on the Liao soldier.

"What!" Han Derang was taken aback, and immediately realized that he had indeed been fooled.

Han Derang immediately ordered: "Leave fifty people here to block, and after discovering that the Song people are coming, you must take the national certificate as the most important thing." ”

"As for those Song people, try to catch them alive, especially Zhao Gu, no one can kill him unless they have to, and the other one hundred and fifty people will pass through the main road with me and surround them from the other side of the road."

Han Derang was a cautious man, and he didn't dare to chase from this side of the path, because he was afraid of encountering another explosion like that, so he planned to go over the other side against common sense, although it would delay a lot of time, but it was much safer.

He didn't know that Zhao Gu and his party had already entered the mountain, and no matter how far he came from the path, he would not see a single person.

Han Derang didn't know this, after more than half an hour of running, Han Derang came to the place where the Liao soldiers were divided, and after letting people investigate, he took people to the path.

At this time, the sky was getting dark, Han Derang frowned, and ordered the cavalry to move slowly and cautiously to avoid falling into the abyss.

It was another trek, and the night was getting deeper, and the roar of wolves and some unknown sounds continued to be heard in the deep mountains in the distance, and the Liao soldiers came to the place where the explosion occurred.

Han Derang looked at the wounded soldiers who fell to the ground with a dark face, looked back at the other Liao soldiers, and could only choose to camp helplessly.

Han Derang thought that Zhao Gu and the others must still be on this path, if they reached the end of the path, they would inevitably be blocked by their own soldiers and horses, and if they turned back and walked back, they would just have to wait for the rabbit.

Until this time, Han Derang still didn't expect that the four of Zhao Gu had already run into the mountains.

Deep in the mountains, Zhao Gu and the others were also resting at this time, after a day's escape, everyone's minds were very tired, and they didn't want to move as soon as they sat down.

After eating some dry food simply, Zhao Gu asked Xiao Wu and the three of them to erase the traces, and then urged everyone to go on the road again.

Although this mountain is vast, it is still in Liaodi after all, and you may meet Liao people at any time, so it is better to leave early.

It was another night's rapid march, even if a master like Xiao Wu and the three was very tired, Zhao Gu still urged everyone to leave quickly.

Xiao Wu and the three of them did not complain about this, Zhao Gu and a civil official could persevere, these men did not want to fall into the prestige of the master.

In this way, it was another two days of travel, Zhao Gu and his party have been walking through the deep mountains and old forests, even if they occasionally encounter mountain villages, they have never entered them, they shoot a few beasts when they are hungry, and drink mountain spring water when they are thirsty.

Under Zhao Gu's far beyond ordinary people's experience in surviving in the wild, there was no problem with the food and accommodation of the group in the past few days, and the direction in which everyone traveled was not bad at all.

"It's really worthy of being the person who once ran from Liao Kingdom to the Great Song Dynasty alone!" The three of them thought so in their hearts.

On the other side, Han Derang had already found out that he had been fooled, and when he followed the direction of Zhao Gu and the others' horseshoe prints for a day, he did not find a trace of people walking by, and immediately realized that Zhao Gu and the others deliberately let the horses run away by themselves.

But at this time, Zhao Gu and the others had already entered the vast mountains, and trying to find them was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

On this day, Han Derang came to Haicheng, the largest city within a radius of 100 miles!

Haicheng is the fief of Yeluhai, the lord of Liao, and his ancestors fought together with Liao Taizu, which established the Liao State, so he inherited a title equivalent to the Marquis of the Great Song Dynasty, and had this fief within a radius of hundreds of miles.

Yeluhai, that is, the commander of the Liao State who led the troops to attack Shuozhou City, was forced by him to use the Shenwei Thunderbolt to make a last stand, resulting in Yeluhai being blown up by Zhao Gu and his bones were gone, and Shuozhou City was bloodied.

In that battle, if it weren't for the coincidence of Hu Yanzan, Zhao Gu's body would have already turned to ashes.

This can also reflect from the side that Yeluhai's ability is very outstanding.

In Liao, he was once one of the generals relied on by Empress Dowager Xiao.

Today's Haicheng is the son of Yeluhai, who is in charge.

Hundreds of miles of fiefdom in the Liao State, is not big, but the fief rules of the Liao State are different from the Great Song Dynasty, people with titles have absolute right to rule their fiefs, unless it is the emperor of the Liao State personally ordered, otherwise they are equivalent to the emperor of this fief, few people can change their will, so although the sea city is not big, but it is a symbol of dignity.

Hearing that Han Derang came over, Yelutian warmly entertained him, and arranged fifty beautiful girls for him in the evening, but Han Derang's body obviously couldn't stand so much, so he only left two attendants.

This kind of thing was commonplace in the Liao State, and it was a unique way of entertaining guests by the aristocracy.
