~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Quiet, there was a dead silence in the dome, and there was an unpleasant stench flowing in the air, and the stench came from Yan Zhi's corpse - after the person died, the valley road was relaxed, and the filth was leaked by itself, how could it not be smelly?
But the three people who had escaped death in the tent had no idea what the stench was.
Wu Chai was tied up like a brown child, lying on the ground, his felt hat was split, the big locks of hair on the top of his head were cut off, and even a layer of oily skin was scraped off, and blood beads were dripping. It was obviously cut by a sharp blade, and it was dangerous. Wu Chai did take a turn from before the ghost gate was closed - he was originally going to be beheaded, but as soon as Yan Zhi died, Yan Rou fled in shock, and the Yan private soldier who had already raised his knife to behead was frightened, and the blade was slashed, and it became like this.
At this moment, Wu Chai was very excited: "Ministry Shuai, you ...... It's okay, it's great. β
Ma Han smiled bitterly, and said to the stunned Liji on the side: "Driver little lady, help me cut the rope of the black chase." β
Liji was both shocked and confused: "You...... It's okay, why not do it yourself? β
"Who said I'm fine." Ma Han slowly raised his iron arm and sighed, "I only have this one hand that can move." β
The unknown medicine used by the Yan brothers is indeed effective, Ma Han's current situation, it is not too much to say that it is a mess, even if it is the legendary No. 1 in the Three Kingdoms, when encountering this situation, he can only wait to be killed. The only thing Ma Han is thankful for is that he has a mechanical arm that is not flesh and blood.
What Ma Han uses to control the robotic arm is not muscle groups or ligaments, but nerve plexuses, so drugs are ineffective against this. Yan Zhi couldn't imagine that there was such a miraculous arm in this world, so he didn't die unjustly at all, but Yan Rou was a little wronged when he was frightened. In fact, at this time, Ma Han is only a tiger frame, if Yan Rou does not get close, but orders someone to shoot from a distance, Ma Han will only be a target.
Lihime and Wu Chai also don't understand why only one hand can move, but the time is pressing, and there is no time to think, and it is useless to think.
Li Ji picked up Yan Zhi's left knife, held the handle in both hands, and dragged the thick rope against the back of Wu Chai's hand several times, and the rope broke and got out of trouble.
As soon as Wu chased and restrained, he immediately jumped up, took the knife handed by Liji, and listened to Ma Han's order: "Time does not wait for me, Yan Rou can't kill me by himself, he must go and invite the Xianbei people to attack, we must flee as much as possible." Wu Chase, gather the living brothers, and quickly go and invite Tian Zhi to come. β
Wu Chai nodded heavily, turned around and hurried out of the tent.
Ma Han's gaze shifted to Lihime, who was wringing his two thin white hands nervously, looking into his gaze, full of guilt and apology.
"I really don't want to be bad for you......"
"I understand." Ma Han lightly interrupted Li Ji's words, he was mainly to blame for this matter, or rather, Yan Rou's move was too poisonous. As long as you don't refuse, even if you change to another woman, the ending will be the same.
"What are you going to do now? It's still ...... to go back to Yan Rou."
"No, I've wanted to get rid of Yan Rou for a long time...... It's been too long since I've been away from home, and it's time for me to go back. Li Ji bowed to Ma Yingying, her eyes shining, "You are a great Han Jialang, if you can get out of trouble this time, maybe one day, I can help you." β
Ma Han glanced at Li Ji in surprise and said with a smile: "No one can say what will happen in the future, but I really need your help right now." β
Li Ji was stunned: "What ......"
"You're supposed to leave in a car instead of a horseback, right?"
"Yes, I have a car, which is one of Yan Rou's three Jinwu cars...... Oh! I understand. Li Ji looked at Ma Han's soft body and suddenly realized.
Ma Han supported his body with his iron arm, and said slowly: "I borrow your car to leave, and you can also get our protection. β
Liji bit her lip and thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay, I have an old servant who is ready, just send someone to spread the word......"
At this moment, there was a loud footstep outside the tent, and as soon as the curtain was lifted, Tian Yu, Wu Chai and others entered one after another. The situation is already very clear, there is no need and no time to say more, pack up the armor, bring the horses, collect the bones of the dead Hange cavalry, and notify the old servant who left Ji to come by car.
When Ma Han and Li Ji had just gotten into Yan Rou's ultra-luxurious gold-topped car, they could hear the sound of hooves in the distance like a muffled thunder at the turn of spring and summer, rumbling, dense and endless, in the dark, extremely thrilling.
Looking at the shocked appearance of Liji and Hange's cavalry, Ma Han only gave one order to Wu Chase: "Cross the river, destroy the bridge, and break through at full speed." β
β¦β¦
The sky is about to dawn, the east is twilight, and the morning of the grassland is extraordinarily quiet. On the distant horizon, a black line gradually pushed closer, and the sound of hooves thundered and overwhelming, startling the herds of yellow sheep, wild asses, and horned cattle on the grassland to flee in all directions. A moment ago, it was still green grass, but in an instant, it was trampled beyond recognition by thousands of pairs of iron hooves.
Five miles ahead, a pitiful dozen horsemen escorted a double-wheeled carriage with a glittering golden roof, desperately beating their horses and galloping. Behind them, there were thousands of cavalry, drawn into a scattered diagonal line, chasing wildly.
The savannah is not as smooth as imagined, and the seemingly thick and soft meadows have pits, stones, shallow marshes, and tough grass ropes. These obstacles not only have a severe impact on the carriage's movement, but also cause the people in the carriage to jolt and sway, making them unstable.
Liji is also used to sitting in this Jinwu car, but he never thought that under the full speed of the two horses, he would be so uncomfortable, his pretty face turned white, and he wanted to vomit. couldn't help but stare at the person by the window on the other side, if it weren't for him, how could he be involved in this inexplicable escape. Even though it is dangerous to walk alone on the grassland, it is better than being chased by thousands of horses. It's a pity that I'm already on the thief ship now, and I can't get down.
What is strange is that he is obviously paralyzed, why does he have one arm so strong, clasping the window edge, he can sit like a bell under such bumps and undulations?
After fleeing all night, five hours had passed since Ma Haw's attack, and according to Yan Rou, the effect of the medicine was about ten hours. Ma Han already felt that with the passage of time, the effect of the medicine had been constantly degraded, at least his hands, feet, neck and everything could be moved, but the muscles were still weak, and he felt like he had just recovered from a serious illness, and he couldn't use any strength. In his current situation, if he didn't have an iron arm, any ordinary person could put him down.
Because the pontoon bridge was burned in time after crossing Raoleshui, the Xianbei pursuers had to change their route, thus gaining a period of precious time. But thousands of horsemen chased wildly, like maggots attached to the bones, still gradually approaching. In particular, for the sake of secrecy, the horses did not equip the horses of the Hange cavalry with new harnesses, which caused the fatigue of the cavalry to rise, and the horse's hooves were worn out, and five spare horses were abandoned with broken hooves.
"Brother Jinglong, we have already abandoned five horses, and if we continue to run like this, I am afraid that all the horses will be paralyzed......" Tian Yu's hair was scattered, his eyes were red from the strong wind, and he was turning the horse close to the carriage, and shouted at the horse who opened the curtain to observe outward.
"I know that if we hold on a little longer, as long as we reach Baizhang Gorge before the pursuers intercept us, we will have a chance." As Ma Han spoke, his body swayed with the carriage, but his eyes were fixed on a faint mountain shadow in front of him. There are still more than ten miles, I hope to stick to the destination.
Tian Yu was stunned, as if he had thought of something, his hand slowed down, and the war horse slowed down and fell to the back of the team. Tian Yu came back to his senses, quickly whipped a whip, struggled to catch up, and said loudly to Ma Yan: "Brother Jinglong, what do you mean...... Interception after breaking? β
Ma Han nodded effortlessly, his eyes glazed.
Baizhang Gorge is actually a valley, the so-called "Baizhang", is not the mountain is high and 100 zhang, but the valley road is 100 zhang long, after going out from this gorge, it is an endless prairie again. The mouth of Baizhang canyon is not wide, about ten zhang or so, the mountain wall on both sides is steep, the height is not more than thirty zhang, the forest on the mountain is deep and leafy, only a few narrow paths can be passed. This is one of the three roads that go south to Hiraoka, and the other two roads are also twenty miles away in the nearest way. In other words, if you can leave a group of men and horses in Baizhang Gorge after being broken, you can indeed delay the pursuers and buy time for the victorious escape.
The question is, who will be left behind?
"Please go first, and Wu Chai wishes to stay with his brothers." Wu chased the horse close to the carriage window, his face resolute, and his eyes showed a sense of death.
Ma Han glanced at this loyal servant silently, and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard Tian Yu shouting: "It's not good, the Xianbei people have caught up!" β
Ma Han Huo Ran looked back, but saw a group of about 100 Xianbei cavalry, with two horses, well-bowed horses, rushing to the forefront. Most of the chasing cavalry were still miles away, only this group of cavalry was close to a hundred feet, and the person who rushed to the front looked familiar, and his movements were a little strange...... Oh, it turned out to be Lo Bang who had his palm crushed, the warrior under the tent of the Marquis of Tho Luo, it seems that he is vengeful......
"Quick! Liang En, don't worry that the horse can't stand it, as long as you rush into Baizhang Gorge, it will be a victory! As soon as Ma Han saw the speed of Xianbeiren, he knew that there was trouble, and while urging the old servant Liang En, who was driving, he shouted to Liji, "Throw all the things in the carriage out of the car, the table, the felt blanket, the furnace, the dishes, except for yourself, throw them all down the car!" β
Liji also knew that the situation was urgent, and while enduring his physical discomfort, he hurriedly threw all the things in the car down, and muttered in a low voice: "It's best to throw you out of the car." β
At this moment, a buzzing sound sounded overhead, and Li Ji's movements paused, and he looked up blankly.
Ma Han's iron arm propped up, and his whole body bounced horizontally, and he stretched out his arms to wrap around Liji, pressing her under him.
Before he could scream and struggle, he heard a dense sound of "tuk tuk", and countless arrows were stuck on the car cover. Two streams flew in through the window, swept over their heads, and stuck in the door.
Li Ji broke out in a cold sweat, if it weren't for Ma Gang to overwhelm her, these two arrows would probably be inserted into her. Li Ji was grateful, and was about to say thank you, when he suddenly rode his horse with a sad whin, rushed forward and slipped down. As soon as the horse fell, the wheels were crushed against the horse, and the huge resistance caused the car to stop, and the body of the car tilted, and one wheel was raised high. Then, under the strong inertial impulse, the entire body of the car bounced up in the air and flew out backwards.
