Chapter Seventy-One: Escape

Seeing that the light emitted by the large torch was about to shine on the hiding place of the Blackwater people. A rope suddenly dropped from the mountain, and a small figure slid down at a rapid pace. Murda looked confused, and he quickly picked it up and asked

"Why are you the only one coming down? What about my eldest brother? Why didn't he come down with the guys? ”

Confused, he knew that the situation was urgent, and hurriedly wrote on the ground. Moda understood, it turned out that there were too many wounded soldiers on the mountain, and he couldn't climb for a while, and the eldest brother was reluctant to abandon these Kulun tribesmen who were born and died with him, and he couldn't bear to leave them and go first.

Murda stomped his feet and thought: My eldest brother, this is the time of a woman's kindness, if you don't leave now, all the troops will die in battle, and you will have to take your life, what is the future of the Great Huns. But he understands the righteousness of the eldest brother, and he doesn't have to say anything about his subordinates, so it is not surprising that Mao Dun made such a decision.

He turned his head to look at the approaching enemy army, and told Sbulian to quickly lead his troops to withdraw to the south bank of the Yuwu River, so as not to be discovered by the enemy, and to take the two hundred corpses with him as he went. Sbuliao knew that the matter was urgent, and quickly ordered everyone to collect their troops and retreat.

Meda looked at the top of the mountain, tugged at the rope on his hand, felt that it was still relatively strong, and decided to climb to the top of the mountain to meet his eldest brother. He asked the fool to climb up first and tell the eldest brother to prepare to answer, and then he immediately climbed the long rope that dangled and had no end in sight.

After more than ten minutes, Sbuliao and the others had crossed the Yuwu River safely. And Moda only climbed more than 20 meters to the mountain, he was afraid that he would step on the stones and mud on the cliff if he climbed, so that the people below the mountain would find out. So his body hung in the air, his two hands tightly grasped the long rope, and he didn't dare to come out. If the Huns raised their heads at this time, he would definitely be discovered, and he would be shot into a hedgehog at that time.

Fortunately, Sbuliao immediately launched a feint as soon as he crossed the river, and the people shouted and the horses were neighing and the dust was scattered, as if thousands of people were about to cross the river. As soon as the defenders of the southern slope saw this, they immediately rushed to the river and waited for them. Murda breathed a sigh of relief, exerted his arms, and pushed his feet against the slippery cliff until he reached the top of the mountain.

As soon as Murda's head came out, a large hand grabbed Murda's right arm, which was almost exhausted, and dragged him up. When Murda saw it, it was his eldest brother Maoton!

The two brothers hugged each other, laughing and screaming, and everyone around them wept.

"My fifth brother, my eldest brother is looking forward to your eyes are blue. I worry about your safety every day, and I don't know how many people will be sent to find out your whereabouts all day. until he was surrounded in this Guyan Peak. ”

"Big brother, you have suffered these days, and you have been able to hold on to the siege of 100,000 troops until now, which is already blessed by God. Can it still hold up? ”

Hearing this, Maudun shook his head and pointed to the wounded soldiers all over the ground

"For days, Haba has been attacking non-stop, and almost all of my Kulun warriors have been injured. So just now you asked the fool to deliver the letter, and I didn't promise to go down the mountain. However, we have relied on the Xiang family soldier formation and the Buyeo arrow formation for several days. Only the west pass and the north pass of this Guyan Peak can allow the brigade to go up the mountain immediately, so as long as these two passes are guarded. The hardest thing now is not the wounded soldiers, but the food, and we have all killed horses to satisfy our hunger. ”

Murda looked at the top of the mountain, it was really miserable, everyone was hungry and yellow-skinned, and pieces of horse meat were still boiling in the pot. The Huns loved horses as their lives, and horses were also necessary for their combat marches, and now it was time to kill horses to satisfy hunger, so it can be seen that the mountains and rivers are really exhausted.

Maudun gestured to a person beside him and said

"Thanks to Yu Lu for meeting this Mr. Xiang Bo, he is the uncle of Xiang Yu's junior brother. This time I came to the Huns to buy horses, and I happened to pass by here. Seeing that we were being chased and killed by Haba, he drew his sword to help. This is not the Xiang family soldier array, which was personally laid out by Mr. Xiang, and we have only lasted until now. Mr. Xiang had bought a thousand good horses and was going to go back to Chu to build cavalry, but these horses were all killed and eaten by us, and these days we have relied on these horses for all our food. ”

The person next to Mao Dun is not tall, dressed as a nobleman of the Chu State, and his appearance is amiable, which looks like a kind face. Murda quickly fell down and bowed

"Uncle is above, and he is worshiped by his little nephew. Xiang Yu is my eldest brother, and you are also my uncle. ”

This uncle hurriedly picked up Meda and said with a kind face

"Child, since you are a family, why are you so polite. Prince Maudun told me about you, you are young and promising, capable of writing and martial arts, brave and strategic. It is also my honor to have a nephew like you. ”

After greeting each other for a while, they began to ask about Moda's experience of crossing the desert to Yue's this time. The big guy was shocked to hear it, and at the same time he admired Moda very much. This time, he not only got back the golden man pattern, but also killed the king of the Yue clan, and took the position of the prince except for Haba.

Mo Da didn't have much time for self-absorption, so he quickly asked Mo Wei to build a golden man based on the image of Xiaokong in Shura City, and then watched the defense of the Kulun tribe with his eldest brother.

After reading it, he frowned, with the current grain stock, he wouldn't even have to eat horse meat in two days. Moreover, there are less than 500 soldiers left who can go into battle to kill the enemy, and the rest are all seriously wounded. Originally, the troop formation blocking the mountain passes to the west and east could still withstand the onslaught of the cavalry, but now there are not enough personnel, and the troop formation can only barely support it. The soldiers in the Buyeo arrow array were also injured, and many of them couldn't even hold their bows and arrows steadily, and the power of the arrow rain was also reduced a lot. Coupled with the days of hard fighting, there are not many bows and arrows left.

Murda understood that the enemy, despite the siege strategy, would still attack every day to wear them down. However, it would take three days for the reinforcements of the Right Virtuous King to arrive, and it would be impossible to hold out for three more days in any case.

However, according to the time, King Zuo Xian should have already begun to attack Dragon City, and Haba will definitely receive a letter tonight, then he will definitely divide his troops to save him. But all this is just his prediction, and he can't control the progress of things. It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen.

At this time, Murda's heart is full of worry and fear, which comes from the unknown future. The unknown is confusing, and the long wait is so torturous.

Suddenly, a Hulun soldier came to report the news

"Prince! The big battalion at the foot of Haba Mountain suddenly began to move! ”

Everyone hurriedly ran to the mountain pass to watch, and saw that the smoke and dust were billowing in the camp of Haba on the west side, and the cavalry was going back and forth, and it seemed that they were moving. It seems that he has learned the news of King Zuoxian's surprise attack on Dragon City, and is sending troops back to help. Moda realized that he had to find a way now, because as long as something happened to Dragon City, Haba would definitely send troops to save him, and the remaining soldiers and horses would rush to attack Guyan Peak, and the sooner he took Maoton, the more Haba's losses would be reduced.

"Prince, now is the last time for you to escape, Haba will definitely fight quickly, and the remaining cavalry will definitely attack tomorrow. Tonight, we'll wait for him to send reinforcements away, and then take advantage of the dawn to get out of the city. We, the people, will save you even if we go out of our way. ”

It was the leader of the Kulun Village who spoke. Murda shook his head, he knew the loyalty of the leader of the Dao, but this was definitely a dead end

"Big brother, you can't storm it. Haba divided his troops to help, and he must have guessed that it was our plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao, and he would also guess that we would take advantage of the chaos to break through. If you kill it now, you will definitely be caught by the ambush soldiers. ”

"What then? Do you want to die? It's not a pity for us to die, the prince has the future of the Huns, how can he die! ”

The leader of Kulun was a little excited, and Maudun pressed his shoulder, motioning for him to listen to Murda

"Waiting for death is definitely not going to work, and now is indeed the only chance to escape. It's just that someone needs to sacrifice. ”

The big guys all looked at Murda in awe, waiting for him to say how to sacrifice the land. Seeing that everyone's faces were very resolute, Moda had no intention of flinching and timid, and his heart was low. He said, "We have to follow Haba's thoughts, he expects us to take advantage of the chaos to go down the mountain at this time, then we will really send people to take advantage of the chaos to attack from the north." Haba will definitely concentrate all his forces to the north to encircle it. It's just that Big Brother can't go to the north, you have to go down the rope from the cliff on the south side. The defenders to the south numbered only about 2,000 men, and most of them might have been transferred by Haba. I've already asked the Blackwater people down the mountain to make arrangements, as long as I let the fool deliver the letter. These Blackwater tribesmen are very strong, and they should be able to cover us down. It's just that we can't have too many people walking from the south, otherwise our method of attacking the east and west won't work. But, who is north and who is south? ……”

The audience fell silent. If you say that you rush north together, or go down the cliff together, then everyone's belief is definitely no problem. Now it is a dead end to the north, and there is still a chance of life to the south. Once you die in your life, everyone will struggle and panic in their hearts. At this time, Mao Dun was very entangled, he must go, but he couldn't decide who rushed north, because whoever arranged it was wrong.

Brother Mo Dazhi Dao was embarrassed and spoke first

"Uncle Xiang was originally an outsider, and he was involved because he saved his eldest brother. We can't put our benefactors in, not to mention that the Xiang family has the mission of recovering Chu and can't die in the grassland. Uncle Xiang must go. ”

Maudon nodded in agreement. Xiang Bo was just about to make a statement, but Mao Dun spoke

"Moda is right, Mr. Xiang must go. Otherwise, my Great Hun would really stand in the heavens and the earth without a face. ”

When Xiang Bo saw Mao Dun say this, he couldn't say anything. Xiang Bo is a chivalrous and righteous person, although he has the heart to live and die with Mao Dun, but Mao Dun said that he is not good enough to force it anymore.

"Mo Wei and his wife must also go if they want to build a golden man. The third sister is the future Xiongnu clan, and she has to pass on the ancestry to the eldest brother, so she has to go. The idea is mine, I stay. The rest, whoever wants to rush down the hill with me, come with me! ”

After Murda finished speaking, he drew his scimitar and was about to rush down the mountain. At this moment, the leader of Hulun stopped Moda as soon as he could

"Brother Murda! You've already crossed the desert and died several times for my Great Huns! How can you get you to go again? Besides, we are the prince's people, and it is the glory of all our people to die for him. You are the arm of the prince, and you want to command everything when you go down to Guyan Peak, your life is more important than ours! Prince, we are going, and we will hold on to the death until you get down the mountain safely! You must recover the Great Huns! As long as you remember in your heart, you can have our Hulun Village! Walk! ”

Without waiting for Mao Dun to answer, the leader rushed out of the mountain pass with his saber, and all the active Hulunzhai warriors, a total of 500 people, followed their leader and killed down the mountain. Those Hulun tribesmen who could not leave also picked up bows and arrows and prepared to cover the charge of these five hundred people.

Mao Dun clenched his fists and his eyes were full of tears. For the sake of the subordinates who are so faithful to the Lord and regard death as their home, they are fighting until the last moment of their lives, and they must fulfill their wishes. Now is not the time to be sad, otherwise the blood of these Kulun warriors will be shed in vain.

Moda hurriedly asked the fool to go down from the rope to inform the Liu'an and the Black Water people at the bottom of the mountain, and prepared a few thick ropes to tie around everyone's waists. Taking advantage of the cover of night, the six men slid down the bottomless cliff.
