180 Again the thunder of the heavens
The horse's hooves were obtained, and Pi Yuanfu led 500 cavalry to chase in the direction of Su Hao and the others' escape. The Guizhou horse they rode was small in size, but it was good at walking mountain roads, and it was very dexterous in running through the mountains and wilderness where there were no roads.
Along the way, Pi Yuanfu and his party were able to go to the front to track the marks left by the soldiers of Su Hao and others, which saved them the trouble of determining Su Hao's location and could always maintain a very high forward speed.
"Su Baihu, we have a tail behind us." Hao Tong also found the Tusi soldiers who were following behind him. These Tusi soldiers walked far above the officers and soldiers of the Survey Battalion, and they followed them almost without a step, keeping a close eye on their whereabouts.
"Wait for someone to kill them!" Deng Kui suggested murderously.
Su Hao shook his head and said: "No, we don't have time to entangle with them, these people are like monkeys in the mountains, we can't easily catch them, but will be led by their noses." ”
"Su Baihu, listen, there are cavalry chasing after you." Hao Tong said that in the valley, the sound of horses' hooves was extremely clear, almost in everyone's ears.
"How far is it from Dalongtang?" Su Hao asked.
"That's two or three miles." Hao Tong replied.
Su Hao said: "Okay, let's run a few steps, get to Dalongtang, and it's not too late to fight with Pi Yuanfu." ”
"Su Baihu's strategy is too dangerous, and the last general is really sweating." Hao Tong muttered.
Su Hao said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Mr. Hao was also afraid, I don't know how Mr. Deng would feel when he heard this." ”
Hao Tong said: "If it is only Hao, let alone a big Longtang, even if you go to the Longtan Tiger's Den, Hao will not frown." But Su Baihu is the body of ten thousand gold, and it is the treasure of my Ming army, how dare the last general let Su Baihu take this risk. ”
"Everyone's life is the same, there is no distinction between high and low." Su Hao said.
The crowd risked their lives and ran forward, and it was not long before that. It has come to the bottom of the big dragon pond. The so-called Dalongtang is actually just a dammed lake left by earthquakes for many years. Boulders and mud from the mountains blocked the valley, and the river water that flowed down from the upper reaches accumulated to form a large lake. When the lake is full, it overflows from the low-lying part of the dam. Several small waterfalls are formed. The waterfall water merges into a new creek. It flows to the valley downstream, and that valley is where the Seven Star Mountain Army Hoards are located.
"Let's go, go up the embankment!" Su Hao commanded.
The sound of horses' hooves behind him was getting closer. Everyone used their hands and feet together and climbed the dam. Standing at the top of the dam, there is a bay of rippling lake in front of you, and back is the Qixing Mountain Canyon. You can also vaguely see the flag in the military hoard.
"Master Su, why don't you say goodbye!"
Without waiting for Su Hao to say a few words of emotion, the cavalry led by Pi Yuanfu had already chased under the cofferdam. Pi Yuanfu grabbed the horse, sat on the saddle and pointed at Su Hao on the top of the dam with a horsewhip, and asked loudly. The difference between the two sides is only a few tens of zhang between the dam and the dam, and Pi Yuanfu doesn't have to worry about Su Hao flying with wings.
"It turned out to be Pi Qianhu, oops, I'm really sorry, I was in too much of a hurry when I left. didn't have time to say goodbye to Pi Qianhu and forgive his sins. What's the matter, did Pi Qianhu make a special trip to see off Su? Su Hao smiled and said to Pi Yuanfu.
Su Hao's performance made Pi Yuanfu a little stunned. In his mind. Su Hao fled in a hurry and was caught up by himself, and his performance was either terrified or trapped. How could it be so relaxed? Pi Yuan blessed the entourage around Su Hao and found that they were all standing there quietly. It didn't look like there was any conspiracy.
"Mr. Ma, what do you mean?" Pi Yuanfu asked in a low voice to Ma Zhengbang, the master beside him.
Ma Zhengbang frowned and said, "Could it be that he wants to delay time?" ”
Pi Yuanfu said: "What is the use of him delaying time? Does he still have reinforcements? ”
Ma Zhengbang said: "Logically speaking, delaying time is nothing more than two purposes, one is to wait for reinforcements, and the other is to cover the escape of others. However, in this situation, neither of these purposes is the same. We have 500 cavalry, and unless there are hundreds of them, their reinforcements will not be enough for us to eat. ”
In Banzhou, it is unrealistic to smuggle in reinforcements of a few hundred people, so Pi Yuanfu and Ma Zhengbang ruled out this possibility. As for covering the departure of others, it is even more impossible, these people are obviously here to rescue Su Hao, how can they let Su Hao stay as bait and protect others from leaving?
Neither waiting for reinforcements, nor letting others go first, so Su Hao stood here grinding his teeth with Pi Yuanfu, and there was no way to guess his intentions.
"Master Su, the queen of my family gave you a Taoist temple, and sent someone to wait, it can be said that you are not thin, why did you take revenge, not only did you not say goodbye, but also injured Liu Cai and my sentry on the stone wall." Pi Yuanfu asked. He thought, Su Hao couldn't run away anyway, and he didn't care about grinding his teeth with Su Hao for a while, he really wanted to hear what Su Hao was thinking.
Su Hao smiled slightly and said, "I'm really sorry for hurting people, but this is because they were disrespectful to this Heavenly Master first, so this Heavenly Master took action to punish him." As for General Yang Shen's treatment of me, Su Mou understood it. Su left in a hurry, in fact, it was also out of consideration for General Yang Shen, it was a well-intentioned move, and in this section, he also asked Pi Qianhu to go back to General Yang to make it clear. ”
"Master Su, why can't Pi understand your words? What does it mean to be well-intentioned, can Su Tianshi explain it clearly? Pi Yuanfu asked.
Su Hao sighed and said, "Alas, this is originally the secret of this sect, and it is inconvenient to show it. However, I also know that if I can't explain the reason clearly, I'm afraid Pi Qianhu won't give up, so I'll tell Pi Qianhu about it. ”
"Pi listened." Pi Yuanfu replied.
Su Hao said: "This Heavenly Master's cultivation is to pay attention to the aura of gathering heaven and earth. This aura gathers too much, and it will be jealous of the ghosts and gods, causing the thunder to wreak havoc. This Qingfeng Taoist Temple is a blessed land, and there is a lot of aura. Su lived for a few days, and he already felt that the aura was full, and he was afraid that something was going to happen, so he left in a hurry, for fear of bringing disaster to Pi Qianhu. ”
"It's nonsense." Ma Zhengbang couldn't help but rebuke him. Su Hao's remarks are baseless at all, in Ma Zhengbang, this is just a lie made up by Su Hao in order to get out. The key is that the gold content of this lie is too low, which is simply fooling Pi Yuanfu and Ma Zhengbang as fools.
"Why did this gentleman say that?" Su Hao's eyes widened. He was about to reason with Ma Zhengbang, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Hao Tong who came out of nowhere, Hao Tong made a vague gesture to Su Hao, Su Hao nodded, no longer paid attention to Ma Zhengbang, but said to Pi Yuanfu: "Pi Qianhu, did you not believe what I just said?" ”
Pi Yuanfu sneered: "I'm afraid Su Tianshi himself doesn't believe these words, right?" Pi has also seen a lot of cultivators, and he has never heard of any saying that a full aura will attract heavenly thunder. ”
"So be it." Su Hao said helplessly, "I'll show Pi Qianhu how the thunder was chopped down this day." If I can really attract the thunder, will Pi Qianhu believe it? ”
Pi Yuanfu looked up at the sky, the sky was blue sky and white clouds, and there was no sign of thunder and rain. Although it is said that the weather in the mountains is fickle, if Su Hao can attract a thunderstorm in a while, Pi Yuanfu will never believe it.
"If Su Tianshi has such a spell, Pi would want to open his eyes. Pi promised you that if you could really attract heavenly thunder, Pi would immediately take people away, and he would not dare to stop Su Tianshi for half a step. Pi Yuanfu said.
"Good!" Su Hao said, "Pi Qianhu, please take a few steps back, and the brothers should also take a little back." ”
Pi Yuanfu had already made up his mind to let Su Hao perform, so naturally he would not be embarrassed by such a small problem, he waved his horsewhip and motioned his subordinates to take a few steps back and stand by the water of the small river overflowing from the top of the weir. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the officers and men of the survey battalion on the top of the dam also moved a few steps to the side and left the scope of the dam.
Su Hao spread his hands, made a lyrical appearance, and read aloud: "Distant Mount Tai, showing a dark figure; The heavy foundation supports the shallow high-rise; Suppose one day, someone turns the world upside down; The old tradition will inevitably be met with a landslide......"
"What kind of bullshit article is this......" Ma Zhengbang listened to Su Hao's half-literate and half-white modern poems, his nose was crooked, and before he finished his derogatory words, he suddenly burst into flames on the weir in front of him, followed by a thunderclap-like loud sound:
"Boom!"
All the horses under the dam jumped in shock, and before their hooves could hit the ground, the dam collapsed. At first, just a few boulders shook, and the dead branches and soil that had been filled between the boulders for thousands of years were shaken off, and the lake water gushed out from the gaps in the boulders. Immediately afterwards, a large number of small stones collapsed under the impact of the head, and the large stones lost their support and began to displace, even rolling rapidly.
No one could tell what was happening at the scene, but in a split second, the entire dam was gone, and the water in the whole lake lost its restraint and poured downward, and the scene can only be described as turning the river into the sea.
"Sigh!" The horses were completely shocked. Some of the horses jumped to the next high ground before the head of the water arrived, while many more were knocked down by the head of the water and drifted downstream like a leaf in a raging tide.
Beneath that canyon is the location of the Seven Star Mountain Army Hoard, where 5,000 elite Banshu soldiers are training. Hearing the abnormal noise coming from upstream, everyone was a little stunned, not knowing what was going on. In just a few minutes, a terrifying flood rushed down the upper valley. It was a wall of water several feet high, and everywhere it went, everything was enveloped in it: trees, walls, barracks, soldiers......
For the Banshu Army, this is an unprecedented catastrophe! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
ps: Su Hao's mantra is from the hand of the Republic of China poet Zhang Zongchang, and I would like to thank you. The original text is as follows: Far Mount Tai is black and mushy, with a thin head at the top and a thick head at the bottom. If Mount Tai is turned upside down, the bottom is thin and the top is thick.
