Chapter 7: The Sheep in the Mountain Wall

When night fell, there were only a few sparse stars hanging in the boundless sky, and even the moon was hidden in the clouds and did not want to come out.

The fleeing party did not light a fire, and in the dark of night, although a bonfire could dispel the cold, it was very likely to attract the pursuit of the Tartars.

Wang Teng did not demand that this group of displaced people hurry at night, they were just a group of people, not well-trained warriors, and it was already a rare thing to be able to travel forty miles in an hour.

However, the horses of the Tartars are fast, and maybe they will catch up with Wang Teng's team early tomorrow morning.

At that time, what should be used against the Tartar cavalry?

It's already March, and although the Tartars' brigade is evacuating outside the pass, no one dares to guarantee that the number of the dead half of the Niulu's sergeants will not anger the ruthless Tartar Jiala.

You must know that the number of sergeants in each Jurchen Kala is limited, and it is extremely difficult to replenish them.

Even against the brigade of the Ming Army, the Jurchen sergeants rarely suffered such losses, and this time they actually lost half of Niu Lu!

If it spreads, it can't be said that even Gushan will be very embarrassed!

It is conceivable that the enraged Tartars must have sent a large number of cavalry troops to take revenge.

Once the Tartar cavalry caught up, the consequences were unimaginable.

Wang Teng frowned, thinking bitterly about how to escape from the Tartars, but after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't think of a more secure way.

"Brother Wang, hurry up, Brother Wang", Huang Hu's shouting voice rang out a few feet away.

"What are you yelling about?" Wang Tengsheng was afraid of startling the sleeping Hermes-Epitek, so he asked nervously, "What's wrong?" Here comes the Tartar? ”

Huang Hu scratched his head, but there was a ghostly expression on his face, "There is no Tartar within three miles, presumably they have gone to rescue the soldiers." However, Ma Wu actually said that there were antelopes on the mountain! ”

"Sheep on the mountain?" Wang Teng wondered, it's worth making a fuss about just wild sheep?

"It's a sheep in the wall!" Huang Hu's eyes widened, holding his breath, waiting for Wang Teng's decision.

"Sheep in the mountain wall?" Wang Teng repeated, things seemed to be a little interesting, "Let's go, you take me to see."

"Okay," as soon as the words fell, the two turned on their horses, and after about a quarter of an hour's walk, they came to a dark mountain range.

Under the starlight, a thin and bright-eyed teenager was lying on his side, and beside him stood a middle-aged man holding a steel blade.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the young man just turned over lazily, and the words in his mouth said, "Two horses, it should be Brother Wang and Yellow Tiger."

The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, seemingly extremely convinced of the boy's judgment.

"Ma Wu, you said that there are sheep growing in the mountain wall, you have to wait for Brother Wang to come over to show us, now that Brother Wang is here, I want to know what kind of sheep are in the mountain!" Huang Hu couldn't wait to turn over and dismount, and a large cloud of dust rose from his feet.

"Brother Wang!" The young man called Ma Wu was quite respectful to Wang Teng, and he made a neat gesture.

Wang Teng took a step forward, neatly picked up Ma Wu, and said in his mouth, "Are there really sheep in the mountains?" ”

Ma Wu nodded, and the middle-aged man with the knife hesitated, "Brother Wang, don't you believe it?" ”

Wang Teng shook his head, "I naturally believe what Ma Wu said, his ear power is unparalleled, I have heard it before." Besides, there are some things in this world that we could not have predicted. ”

Hearing Wang Teng's praise, Ma Wu's eyes lit up, and he was very bright, but Huang Hu said angrily, "Brother Wang is the same as a showman, elegant and elegant, Ma Wu, you quickly lead the way, if you can't find the sheep, you have to be willing to gamble and lose."

Ma Wu bowed slightly, he lit a torch, and led the way in front of his head with great agility.

On the way, Huang Hu was still muttering, "How can there be sheep in the mountains, how can Brother Wang even believe you!" ”

Wang Teng stared at the mountain wall and suddenly smiled, he thought of the karst landform in Yunnan, "What is the name of this mountain?" ”

"Cailiang Mountain"

Wang Teng's jaw bowed, "If my expectations are correct, this mountain wall may be empty!" ”

Ma Wu's footsteps froze, and he smiled, "Brother Wang is still smart!" ”

Huang Hu pointed to the mountain wall, opened his mouth in surprise, and said, "How can the mountain wall be empty?" I don't believe it, I don't believe it, I'm going to bet on another wild boar! ”

Ma Wu sighed regretfully, "It's not easy to find wild boars now, Huanghu, you have to think clearly."

"Hmph", Huang Hu snorted coldly and stopped talking.

Avoiding the large and small piles of rocks, through piles of weeds, the four of them came to the tall mountain wall.

Ma Wu handed the torch to Huang Hu's hand, and then pressed his ear tightly against the mountain wall.

Wang Teng guessed that if the mountain wall was empty, then there would definitely be a flowing wind nearby, and what Ma Wu was looking for was the gap that allowed the wind to enter and exit!

After listening left and right for a while, Ma Wu suddenly laughed, he pointed in one direction and smiled, "The entrance is there!" ”

Huang Hu unbelievably opened the dense vines, and muttered non-stop, but suddenly, his voice stopped abruptly, because he really heard the cry of the sheep!

"There are fucking sheep in this mountain!" After a while, Huang Hu let out a sigh.

Wang Teng stepped forward with a smile, the mountain wind blowing from between the trees and vines was whistling, as if there was really a goat calling, and it could be clearly seen by the light of the torch that this was a gap wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, and the width of the gap could accommodate one person to pass through.

After cleaning up the gravel in the gap a little, Wang Teng was about to walk into the gap.

Ma Wu couldn't stop it, so he had to hand the torch to Wang Teng, "Brother Wang, be careful!" ”

Wang Teng smiled, there are caves with air circulation, and there is no poisonous gas in most cases.

Seeing that this mountain range is also very old, it is estimated that the interior may have been eroded by flowing water, Wang Teng can't contain the excitement in his heart, as long as this cave is a little bigger, it can hide the hundred and ten people, then the Han people who are attached to him will be saved!

The faint cool breeze brushed his cheeks, and the flames on the torches were whirring, Wang Teng bent down and carefully stepped into the stone crack, and after entering, he found that the inner space of the mountain wall was very large, but there was an extremely solid shell at the outer end, which did not collapse.

The further you go in, the more space you have.

Avoiding the upside-down and drooping stone pillars, Wang Teng took three steps forward, he heard the bubbling water, now, there is water, as long as you bring enough dry food, the space in the cave is enough for a hundred people to borrow for a while!

Holding back the snickering joy in his heart, Wang Teng continued to walk forward, and at this time, Ma Wu and Huang Hu also entered the stone crack, leaving only Liu Tian, who was holding a knife, outside to watch the horse.

"Hey, what a weird mountain", as soon as he came in, Huang Hu couldn't help but exclaim, but Ma Wu was silent, just stared at his eyes, pricked up his big ears, and kept listening to something.

The faint mountain wind touched the stone pillars one by one in the cave, and the swirling air currents made a sound similar to the cry of a sheep.

At this time, Huang Hu forgot about his bet on sheep, and just quickened his pace and followed closely behind Wang Teng.

The cave was long, and it was quiet all around, except for a few passing rats screaming in terror.

After walking about a pillar of incense, the dark cave suddenly opened up, Wang Teng raised his head, and even saw a little starlight, this is the other side of the mountain? Or the inner side of the valley?

Under the stars, vast expanses of weeds danced in the wind, and there was no fire, no houses, and no signs of man-made. At the end of the field of view it seems to be a swarthy mountain range, with mountains on the left and mountains on the right!

Fantastic place.

"Huang Hu, what do you think of this place?" Wang Teng is already a little impatient, he wants to hide the Han people who escaped death here, only in this way can he avoid the inevitable pursuit of the Tartars!

"Yes, if you go in and out of the hide, this place can hide hundreds of people", although Huang Hu is very arrogant, but he also knows that the power of the Tartars is far beyond what their gang of homeless people can resist.

As long as they hide in this cave for a period of time, and wait for all the unbearable tartars to roll back to Liaodong, then the displaced people will really get out of danger.

"Yes, that's a good idea, but the most important thing right now is to avoid the Tartars! Ma Wu, go back to the camp quickly, bring everyone here, I have a feeling that the Tartars are nearby, and our time is running out" Wang Teng stood in the wind, and the whistling whirlwind blew his clothes.

Ma Wu didn't hesitate, he gave a simple salute and returned to the dark cave.

Under the starlight, Wang Tengzheng said, "Yellow Tiger, the exit of the cave is too small for the horses to enter at all, and if no one leads the Tartar outside, I'm afraid the secret here will leak out!" ”

The Tartars are all good at hunting and tracking, Wang Teng never expects his group to be able to hide the whereabouts of the Tartars, if such a large group of people suddenly disappears, the Tartars will definitely be suspicious.

The top priority at the moment is to send another team of suspicious soldiers, only in this way can it be considered safe.

"Bang bang" Huang Hu slapped his chest with a bang, "Leave it to me, I have a way to lure the tartar away!" ”

Wang Teng frowned, "What method?" ”

"Stab the horses and then cut off their reins, so that the mad horses never stop until they die"

"Wonderful, it's really wonderful, the Tartars don't know how many of us there are, as long as we try our best to erase the traces and make the Tartars think that we rode away, then they won't stop searching in a hurry, well, Jin Guozhi can also attract the attention of the Tartars there, okay, just do it!" Wang Teng is decided, although horses are precious, what is compared to the life of his own family?
