Chapter Thirty-Six: Luring the Enemy Deeper
After arranging the matter of monitoring the chasing soldiers outside the mountain, Li Zheng called two more people and asked them to prepare to go to the Boluo Valley of Shengtou Mountain to meet Nuro and explain the situation.
Li Zheng commanded in his mouth, his mind turned, and he suddenly regretted it. When I was in a hurry, I knew that I should bring two blue birds with me, so it would be much more convenient. The communication is fast, and it is hidden, so it is not easy to be detected, and the security is much higher.
At the beginning, Li Zheng led his troops to the north, and divided his troops with Nuro at Shengtou Mountain in Longdi, leaving a hundred foot soldiers for Nuro, and issued an order to set up an ambush in Boluo Valley.
It has been seven days since the day the troops were divided. Presumably, in these seven days, Nuro has almost prepared.
Thinking of the more than 10,000 pursuers outside the mountain, Li Zheng couldn't help but sneer in his heart. As long as these bastards dare to chase in, Li Zheng will dare to leave them in this Shengtou Mountain!
"It seems that the virtuous brother has been prepared for a long time."
Fu Xie's eyes flashed on the side, and he said with a smile: "Han Sui met a virtuous brother, and it was considered his bad luck. ”
Li Zheng smiled and waved his hand, and said, "It's just a little bit of preparation, if the rebels don't chase it, I can't help him." ”
Fu Xie smiled and shook his head: "Isn't what Brother Xian has done along the way all for the sake of this preparatory means?" ”
Fu Xie understood that Li Zheng tried his best to provoke along the way, but did not hide his tracks. If you really want to escape, you must go out day and night, find a shortcut to a remote place, and with the horsepower under your feet, you must have already withdrawn from Hanyang and entered Sanfu. Where can it be so big, hanging in a hurry, as if the rebels don't know their whereabouts?
When Li Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but smile: "Naturally, I can't hide it from my brother." ”
Fu Xie shook his head again: "Brother Xian, this calculation is a yang scheme. Fu is Han Sui's confidant, and the virtuous brother is the nail in Han Sui's eyes, Han Sui will not let you and me go no matter what. However, Han Sui was just when the spring breeze was proud, and he expected to be a little aware of it, but he didn't care, he just said that he was powerful, and he wouldn't put the virtuous brother in his eyes at all, and he would definitely chase after him. ”
Li Zheng bowed slightly: "But just in case, the junior brother still tried his best to provoke, for fear that Han Sui would not chase the soldiers, and I would be blind to make preparations." ”
There were only six horsemen left in the group, and after resting in this col for about three quarters, a soldier who monitored the movements of the rebels came back to report that the rebels had buried a pot at the bottom of the mountain to make food, and now they were reorganizing and gathering their troops and horses.
In a few moments, another guard returned.
"Lord, the pursuers have entered the mountain!"
Hearing this, Li Zheng and the other six people got up together.
"Good!"
Li Zheng stroked his palms and smiled: "Didn't let my hard work be in vain!" ”
After laughing, Li Zheng waved his hand and said to the two people who had been instructed before: "You two escort Brother Fu to Boluo Valley, be careful along the way." The remaining four people will go with me to greet the guests! ”
"Whoa!"
From the foot of Longdi Shengtou Mountain to Boluo Valley, this line is actually very open. It is a mountain stream washed out by a flash flood that stretches all the way to the vicinity of Bolok Valley.
Li Zheng took two Qingjia war horses, walked out of the mountain col by the stream, followed the mountain stream, and went out of the mountain.
After a while, I heard the neighing of people and horses, and I was boiling.
The sky was already dark, and the pursuers all lit torches, and the whole looked vaguely like a fire dragon.
Li Zheng led a light horse to a boulder by the stream, looked condescendingly at the approaching fire dragon not far away, looked back and smiled: "When the pursuers approach, reward them with a few arrows first." ”
The four horsemen beside him paused in unison and grabbed the longbow that hung on the saddle buckle.
Originally, Li Zheng used the Qingjia war cavalry as a heavy cavalry, but before setting off from Lingzhou, he also equipped them with a set of bows and arrows as a backup, but now it seems that it is just right.
After a while, the pursuers had already entered the land of a stone's throw, and the firelight was faintly shining in front of Li Zheng's eyes.
"Shoot the arrows."
Li Zheng also pulled out his longbow.
Five arrows flew out, and in an instant, several people did not pause, and fired a second arrow.
However, the five horsemen released arrows, there was no momentum, and the pursuers were full of voices, and they couldn't be seen when it was dark, so these ten arrows fell into the pursuers very smoothly, and in an instant, several terrible screams resounded through the mountains and forests.
"Enemy attack!"
The rebels at the front of the line immediately panicked.
"Don't panic!"
At this time, a familiar voice came, it was Yan Xing.
"I know it's you!" Yan Xing appeased the soldiers and shouted at Li Zheng's side: "That kid, you have the ability to do it with a knife and a gun, what kind of hero is a hero if you put cold arrows?!" ”
"Hahaha"
Li Zheng laughed loudly and waved his hand, allowing the four horsemen to retreat quickly, and shouted: "Yan Xing, there are many of you, I am not a fool!" I'm leaving, you chase slowly, haha! ”
When Li Zheng's voice disappeared, Yan Xing's face looked hideous in the light of the firelight.
Now that he knew that Li Zheng and the others had not gone far, Yan Xing naturally would not give up, so he hurriedly urged the soldiers to step up the pursuit.
Along the mountain stream, Li Zheng stopped for a while from time to time, released cold arrows, and took away a few lives by the way, making Yan Xing more and more irritable.
However, Yan Xing was not stupid, and he also thought of several possibilities in his mind.
Either Li Zheng was seducing him and letting him be fooled, but Yan Xing thought that the biggest possibility was that Li Zheng was delaying his speed and buying time for Fu Xie to escape!
Because Yan Xing deduced from the number of Li Zheng's cold arrows each time, there were definitely no more than five people led by Li Zheng now. So where did the others go?
must have escaped with Fu Xie first! Or is it an ambush?!
The most important thing is that Yan Xing clearly knows that Li Zheng has a total of less than 100 people in his hands at most. He now has more than 10,000 people under his hands, and Li Zheng is planning to reach the sky, only 100 people, what kind of plan can he set up!?
In the face of absolute power, no stratagem is ineffective!
Even Yan Xing hoped that Li Zheng would set up an ambush, lure out Li Zheng's men and horses, and fill it with human lives, so that Li Zheng's life could be left behind!
After figuring out this joint, Yan Xing's heart calmed down, and he didn't care about how Li Zheng put the cold arrow, just bite it and don't let go!
Li Zheng and his entourage had been hundreds of steps ahead of Yan Xing's pursuers, and when they saw that Yan Xing not only had the intention of retreating because of the sky and terrain, but instead accelerated their speed to catch up, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.
Seeing that Bo Luogu was in sight, Li Zheng didn't tease Yan Xing's nerves, but only showed his figure from time to time, and at the same time quickly approached Bo Luogu.
Suddenly, a bird's cry sounded in front of him, and a soldier under his command said: "Lord, it's the white wolf commander!" ”
Li Zheng was stunned when he heard this, and immediately smiled, and said, "It seems that the white wolf is fast enough to get here one step ahead of us." ”
As he was talking, the valley mouth of the Boluo Valley was in front of him, and several horses stood in the middle of the valley mouth, but the leader was not the white wolf?
"Lord!"
When the white wolf saw Li Zheng coming, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Lord, Nuro is ready, now please follow me up the mountain!" ”
Li Zheng looked up at both sides of Boluo Valley, but shook his head and said, "I can't go up the mountain yet, someone must lead the pursuers into Boluo Valley to avoid accidents." ”
"Then let the subordinates come down!"
The white wolf did not hesitate, bowed his hand, and said solemnly: "There can be no white wolf in this world, but there can be no Lord!" Leave the dangerous things to your subordinates to do, Lord, please go up the mountain from this side! ”
Li Zheng stared at the white wolf for a few breaths, and slowly bowed his head: "Okay, you come!" ”
After saying that, he instigated Qingyun, led the four Qingjia war horses behind him, turned around and ran to the side and went up the mountain.
The white wolf led a few light horsemen behind him, dangling at the mouth of the valley, and seeing the pursuers coming, he hurriedly dodged and rushed into the Boluo Valley
Li Zheng went up the mountain, turned over and got off Qingyun's back, turned around, and watched the white wolf and others rush into the Boluo Valley, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.
There are people who can make people willing to die for him. For example, Fu Xie, on the battlefield of Jicheng, those soldiers who launched the final attack, that kind of magnificence, Li Zheng witnessed with his own eyes.
But now that it fell on him, the impact was far greater than what he had seen at the beginning.
This thin valley has been laid out by Nuro for seven days, and there must have been countless traps in it. Now that it's dark, even if the white wolf comes a while earlier and knows about the arrangement inside, it is inevitable that he will be in danger of death if there are pursuers behind him.
But he did not hesitate to replace Li Zheng, maybe because of the principle of being a subordinate in this era, or maybe it was something else, not for any reason, but he did it.
A hot current surged in Li Zheng's heart.
"If you die, I will erect a monument for you, and if you do not die, I will give you glory and wealth!"
As soon as these words came out, the four horsemen beside him glanced at each other, and a blazing heat erupted in their eyes.
In his heart, Li Zheng took Qingyun by the hand, took the four of them, and quickly went to the mountain
On both sides of the mouth of the Boluo Valley, the two peaks are very steep.
On the top of the cliff on the left, there were more than 50 people, and Nuro was among them.
On the top of this stone cliff, it is very flat, and there are countless things on it, including huge trees and stones, which are piled up in a big pile.
Nuro stood on the edge of the cliff, condescendingly watching the fire dragon below gradually enter the temple, but his brow furrowed.
He turned around and walked back and forth, looking a little agitated.
"Why hasn't the Lord come up yet?!"
"You two, hurry down and see what the white wolf is doing? Why don't you pick up the Lord yet? ”
"No need!"
At this moment, Li Zheng's voice came from behind.
"The white wolf has led the pursuers into the valley." Li Zheng led Qingyun, followed by four people, and walked out of the darkness.
"Whew"
Seeing Li Zheng, Nuro breathed a long sigh of relief, and his face finally showed joy: "Lord! ”
Li Zheng nodded slightly and said, "How are you preparing?" ”
"One qiē is ready!"
Nuro replied respectfully: "At the entrance, there are these fifty people I have brought with me. At the exit, there were fifty more people. Everything was well prepared, there was enough hay and firewood in the valley, and many traps were dug in the back of the valley. ”
Li Zheng glanced at Nuro approvingly and said, "Well done." ”
After speaking, he walked to the edge of the cliff, a pair of eyes were like stars in the night, staring closely at the wriggling fire dragon under the cliff, and said slowly: "What to do next, you will command." ”
Nuro has been here for seven days and knows the best about it. He knew best when to attack.
Hearing this, Nuro clenched his fists and nodded, "The lord just watchs, and his subordinates will make it difficult for these traitors to fly out of this thin valley!" ”
Li Zheng bowed his head, and suddenly said: "I only hope that the white wolf and the others are safe and sound."
Nuro was speechless.
