Chapter 63: The Danger of Sudden Birth (II)
At this time, there was a sudden sound of a warning horn from the east, and the children of Zangxian Valley once again formed a formation according to the terrain and waited with bated breath, and after a while, the commander who was in charge of monitoring the east ran back and reported: "There were enemy troops approaching in the east just now, and there were quite a few of them, and now it seems that they have retreated again. ”
He Ran said calmly: "They are coming to the rescue, and when they hear our shouts, they know that it is too late to retreat, and you continue to monitor that side." ”
Before the commander received the order, there was a faint sound of fighting in the west, and he said happily: "It may be that our people have come to the rescue." ”
He Ran nodded and said, "Use the horn to notify the soldiers who rushed over, let them hold on and wait for help, and wait until the people and horses scattered out have gathered over, and there is no point in sending dozens of people to death." ”
When the horn sounded, an interpreter in the army came to report it, and learned from the captives that they were Ajiang Liman's men.
"Who is Ajiang Liman?" Xi Qun asked with a glare.
When the commander heard Ajiang Liman's name, he said it in a whining voice.
Wan Jin talked to him for a while, and said to the military advisor: "This Ajiang is full of the most notorious horse thieves on the grassland, no one will give face, there are at least more than 2,000 people under his command, not only robbing herdsmen, but also daring to do it when encountering a small army, he must have taken a fancy to our war horses this time, this person is not only ferocious by nature and has a lot of tricks, he has been crisscrossing the grassland for more than ten years, and all tribes have suffered his losses, but they can't help him, and he can't even catch his shadow." ”
"More than 2,000 people?" Xi Qun's heart hung again.
He Ran said lightly: "There won't be so many people coming this time, otherwise they would have rushed up a long time ago, and there shouldn't be more than a thousand people." ”
"I'm afraid their reinforcements are nearby." Xi Qun said uneasily.
"That's what you said." He Ran paced slowly, "This gang of horse thieves has suffered a loss, and they should realize that their usual night sneak attack is not good for them, I think they will wait until dawn to attack." ”
Xi Qun snorted and said: "It's good that Tianming can see the enemy army clearly, if they are really less than a thousand people, I have to kill him and turn him on his back." He was very confident in his subordinates, and these were all selected from thousands of disciples of Zangxian Valley, and 400 people against 1,000 people could easily win.
"Don't be careless, this is not an ordinary soldier like Zhao Guo and Shun Guo, they grew up on horseback since childhood, and their kung fu is even higher than our brothers, and Tianming is very unfavorable to us."
Zhong Zheng interjected: "It's better to find a way to get rid of them, this kind of melee may hurt the military advisor." ”
Xi Qun glared at him irritably, and said, "How to get rid of it?" Easy to say! ”
"To the north." He Ran gently spit out two words.
"To the north? Is the military advisor saying let's go north? Xi Qun asked in surprise.
He Ran nodded and did not speak.
"That's getting farther and farther away from Geqiong, the enemy may be waiting for reinforcements, so we're killing ourselves."
"Four hundred against a thousand, can you make sure I'm okay?" He Ran asked lightly.
"This ......" Xi Qun shook his head, he didn't dare to hold it up in this matter, no matter how well-trained the children of Zangxian Gu were, after all, the number was small, and it was impossible to block all the thieves in the chaotic battle, and the cold arrows shot at the military division were even more unguardable.
"Going north is the most unexpected by the enemy, the thieves who flee in the other three directions will chase and fight to the death, only flee to the north they don't have to worry, most of them will only be in the back tonight, and then make plans when the day dawns."
"Is the military advisor pinning his hopes on Wang Jia, I think it's ......" Xi Qun sighed.
"I have this plan, and there is another one, as soon as the thieves move, our scattered teams on the east and west sides can converge, and the number of people who can gather now will not be too many, we have to delay as much time as possible to get more people together."
Zhong Zheng nodded to Xi Qun, indicating that he agreed with the military advisor's idea.
At this time, someone came to report, and there seemed to be a fighting in the east.
Wan Jin lost his voice and said: "It's broken!" It may be that the thieves have attacked the soldiers over there. ”
Xi Qun looked at the military advisor with an inquiring gaze, obviously asking if he wanted to go to the rescue.
He Ran shook his head lightly and said, "Maybe it's a trick of the horse thief, making some moves to trick us, even if it's really a fight, we can't save it." ”
Xi Qun opened the curtain and looked at the night sky, turned his head and said, "The moonlight is gone, let's go!" ”
This kind of evacuation can't hide the strict monitoring of the thieves, so there is no need to worry too much, the camp tent and other things can not be brought, simply a fire is burned, more than 400 people gallop north with a command, this run is a night, when the sky is bright, the wind blows, the original idea of wanting to release beacon smoke is not feasible, He Ran cried in his heart, is his little life going to die in the hands of horse thieves? It was really a capsized boat in the gutter, and there was really no way to hide in this vast prairie.
After a short rest, they began to run for their lives again, the thieves have been chasing after them, and they are getting closer and closer, it can be seen that there are far more than a thousand people, and they are only three or four miles apart in the afternoon.
Wanjin fell off the horse during the gallop, He Ran reined in the horse, someone picked him up on the horse, Wanjin covered one leg and said: "The military advisor don't care about me, I can't run." ”
He Ran looked at the panting crowd: "If we run any longer, we won't even have the strength to fight back." As he spoke, he pointed to a hill ahead, "Hold on to it." ”
Xi Qun glanced at Zhong Zheng and shouted, "Go!" ”
Without saying a word, Zhong Zheng stretched out his hand to snatch He Ran's reins. There were tears in He Ran's eyes, and before he could see all these brothers who had followed him for many years, he was taken by Zhong Zheng and ran forward, only shouting "Brothers, ......" and choked in his throat.
The disciples of Zangxian Valley gave a pre-battle salute to the military advisors who turned their heads and looked back, and some people couldn't help but shout: "Take care of the military advisors!" "In the next life, the villain will follow the military advisor again!" ……
Since it was necessary to take advantage of this precious interval to recover their horsepower for a decisive battle, Xi Qun commanded everyone to walk slowly towards the hills, they were all two horses, and at this time there were no more than two horses, and they scattered the inferior horses one after another, leaving them to escape alone.
Seeing the military division disappear into the hills, he let out a roar, and hundreds of his disciples immediately echoed loudly, and the tragic roar stirred up their fighting spirit
Xi Qun raised his arms and said, "How can two thousand horse thieves stop my Zangxian Gu disciples?!" Today, whoever wants to be afraid of the sword and avoid the sword, and the prestige of the military advisor is not worthy of being called the son of Zangxian Valley, and he is not the brother of the military advisor! How can his family live in the valley again?! ”
The crowd roared again, and the soldiers of Fanbang who were mixed in with it were also moved by the fierceness of these people, and roared along.
