Lu Zhifan's rare outburst was like thunder, and he planned to fight with the horse thieves outside, but after rushing out of the dense forest, he was surprised to find that in addition to the shrub branches swaying in the wind, where was there half a ghost shadow? Seeing this scene, he immediately regained his senses, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. The heart is finished, isn't this being cheated out by others?

Who knew that the expected ambush did not appear, although he was very puzzled by this, but he still breathed a sigh of relief, it was obvious that the pursuers of the horse thief Li Xin did not come in time, they may only have a handful of ranger scouts bluffing.

So Lu Zhifan issued two orders at the same time, one was to send the most vigorous soldiers to pursue the Ming army scouts who shouted outside the forest, and be sure to kill them, so as not to reveal their whereabouts. The second is that the group immediately marched rapidly, and changed the previous established route, and no longer went south, but went around an additional thirty miles to the east.

However, an ominous premonition has always been with us, and there were seven or eight elite soldiers sent out to pursue the scouts of the Ming army, but none of them caught up, so it was hard to guarantee that there were no problems and accidents. What should he do, wait or speed up his escape? In the end, driven by fear, Lu Zhifan once again changed the established route of the march, and he was afraid that the scouts he sent out would be captured, so he confessed his whereabouts.

Until the evening, there was no sign of the horse thief Li Xin's pursuers. Lu Zhifan breathed a long sigh of relief, it seemed that his prudence and caution had taken effect, and he could finally stabilize for a while, but just when he thought that everything was under control, a torch array like daylight suddenly lit up in front of him.

This can make Lu Zhifan's heart jump, there was an ambush in front of him, and he didn't care about resting when he was going to rest again, so he fled for his life again. There seemed to be ambushes to the east and south, and they couldn't go, so the only choice he could choose was to go north or west.

In his opinion, the horse thief Li Xin must not have imagined that he would turn back to the north again, so he fled north overnight with hundreds of relatives and soldiers who had regathered around him. However, his wishful thinking was obviously wrong, and after walking less than ten miles, a torch array was lit up in the north, as if it were day.

Lu Zhifan was frightened inexplicably, could he only go west? But his heart suddenly moved, since the horse thief Li Xin arranged it like this, he would definitely not carelessly let go of any loopholes, so it is conceivable that as long as he goes west, he may fall into the full set of that guy. Thinking of this, Lu Zhifan calmed down again and thought tightly in his heart. His plan to go east was improvised, and no one knew in advance, and the horse thief Li Xin could not be realized.

So one or two of these ambushes must be just bluffs, how can they be frightened out of their guts? Therefore, Lu Zhifan decided to take a gamble, and went east again, and after going out for ten miles in a row, there was no change, but he did not dare to rest anymore, and he had to travel overnight, leaving this place as far away as possible.

After running for another twenty miles, Lu Zhifan changed direction and began to turn south, and soon a large river that had almost dried up appeared in front of them, flowing quietly in the dark night.

This must be the Sanggan River, that is to say, after crossing this river, he will completely get out of the sphere of influence controlled by the Sanwei Army.

"Cross the river!"

With a wave of his hand, hundreds of people crossed the river on foot, and at this time he began to regret his previous act of killing horses. If they had horses in hand now, they would have gone fifty miles more by now. However, Lu Zhifan actually has his calculations, the so-called killing horses and sinking boats is to cut off the back road for these Manchu soldiers to escape, without a war horse, only relying on two legs to break through the Ming army's encirclement and blockade in the north is tantamount to a fool's dream, compared to only going south to find the Turgegu Mountain is the best choice.

Therefore, Lu Zhifan gave up his intention to rest, traveled day and night, and after crossing the Sanggan River, he threw off his two legs and went all the way south. However, Ningwuguan has to follow the official road to the west is the right way. The further south they went, the less dense the forest, and the fewer and fewer places they could take cover, Lu Zhifan had just walked less than ten miles west with his people, and suddenly countless torches lit up in the distance. It really scared him, how, how? Could it be that there are ambushes here too?

At this moment, Lu Zhifan didn't dare to take risks, so he had to continue south, and he had to get rid of these people first. But as he went south, his heart grew heavier and heavier, and he finally realized that there seemed to be a large invisible hand bound around him, as if he was walking step by step into the great pit they had dug for himself, and this premonition and suspicion was soon confirmed, and whenever he thought of a surprise change of direction, countless torches would surely light up ten miles ahead. This made Lu Zhifan even more unclear, how many people were chasing him, and which place was the ambush?

All kinds of speculations come to mind from time to time, although he knows that there is fraud but he doesn't dare to do Meng Lang's move again, since the horse thief Li Xin is so painstakingly playing cat and mouse, then what he wants will definitely not simply take his own life, there must be other purposes behind this. If you don't cooperate, you will be retaliated against unexpectedly.

Lu Zhifan's previous joy of escaping was completely shattered by the ruthless reality, and he had realized that everything was in the hands of the horse thief Li Xin. After all, Lu Zhifan is Lu Zhifan, and it is not his character to be restrained, and being driven by others is even more inconsistent with his character. But there is one thing he suddenly realized, if he does not act according to their intentions, he will inevitably disappoint the horse thief Li Xin, as long as he is disappointed, he will inevitably make some moves, as long as he has actions, he will inevitably be able to show flaws, as long as he finds their flaws, he can break out.

As soon as he thought of this, he ordered him to rest on the spot and set out again at dawn. When he was fleeing, there were enemies everywhere, and he should have been out day and night, so contrary to common sense, it must have been unexpected by the horse thief Li Xin. Sure enough, when it was almost dawn, the pursuers finally seemed to be tempted to send someone to investigate. The pro-soldiers, who had been deployed in various places for a long time, immediately sent back a message, and it turned out that only the north and west sides had moved, and the east and south were all as usual.

It seems that the Three Guards are really preparing in a hurry, and they don't have time to set up a siege on all sides, but the other party already knows the news that they are going south to find Turg, and they don't set up an ambush in the south, isn't it a flaw that is deliberately sold?

Lu Zhifan's heart suddenly had a bottom, and he said in his heart, Li Xin, Li Xin, you definitely didn't expect me to have this plan to test your bottom line. In this way, it is self-defeating in the end, and it is not as good as a real fight to come out and fight, and this time it will also give you a taste of being played.

He put away the map and decided to break through to the east again, only there was something that the Three Guards could not take into account, and then walked dozens of miles to the mountains, and plunged into it like a dragon into the sea.

After a while, the scouts who had been scattered before rushed back one after another, and learned that the Three Guards had indeed set up an ambush on the key road to the south, and the reason why there was no movement was definitely a plan to lure the enemy. As soon as Lu Zhifan thought of this, he felt a little proud of his previous decision.

I secretly made a decision in my heart, so I gave the horse thief a hundred miles a day and a large span, so that they could see that Manchu was a horse without four legs and had extraordinary combat effectiveness.

"Mr. Lu, there is a fortress in front, shall we go in and see ...... inside?"

So all the way forward, I don't know how far I went, the scout in front suddenly reported a special discovery, Lu Zhifan was stunned and broke out of a cold sweat, thinking that there was an ambush again, although it was close to dawn at this time, but the sun had not yet risen, and he still couldn't see his five fingers, and there seemed to be no sign of someone in front of him in the dark night, it should be a deserted fortress.

Scout looked closely, and it turned out to be an abandoned fortress. Lu Zhifan's heart was clear, the Turg army had slaughtered several prefectures and counties in Datong Province before, and it seems that this fortress should have been abandoned at that time.

At present, the accompanying soldiers have long been hungry and exhausted after a day and night of fighting, and there may be food in this abandoned fortress of the Ming army that has not had time to take away or destroy. Many people looked at Mr. Lu expectantly, waiting for him to make a decision. Although Lu Zhifan couldn't understand everyone's expressions in the night, he could still feel their eager gaze.

Lu Zhifan didn't want to spoil the fun, shrugged his nose, and there seemed to be an indescribable smell in the air. "Go in and search and see if there's anything to eat!"

The pro-soldiers all deliberately lowered their voices in cheers, and rushed over happily, even Lu Zhifan was among them, and they were looking forward to having something to eat in it, and they didn't want to eat well, and when they thought about it, they suddenly felt hungry in their stomachs, and couldn't help but speed up the pace of their feet. The blisters on a pair of feet have been crushed many times, and they have been numb from pain, but now they are not very unbearable.

Lu Zhifan suddenly found that the soldiers who rushed into the fortress first stood on the spot as if they had been immobilized by a spell. I felt that something was wrong, but it didn't look like there was an ambush, and I only heard the cries of terror in my ears.

"Nanban ghost, Nanban ghost!"

Lu Zhifan is unknown, so, what kind of Southern Barbarian ghost? Three steps and two steps rushed into the abandoned fortress, and a strong stench hit his nose and almost made him vomit. At this time, some pro-soldiers could not bear to vomit on the ground, but there was nothing in their abdomen for a long time, and what they vomited out was bile except gastric juice.

In the darkness, I only felt that the layers of eyes in the fortress were full of unknown objects, until a personal soldier ventured to light a torch, but the scene in front of him shocked Lu Zhifan as if he had encountered a ghost, and everywhere he looked, his eyes were full of highly decomposed corpses that had died tragically.
