Chapter 220: Only then did he get out of the wolf's den and fall into the tiger's den
A Yellow Turban soldier took out a tightly wrapped paper tube from his bosom, lit a fire fold, and set the paper tube on fire.
As the paper tube was ignited, a thick black smoke billowed up into the sky.
"Not good! They're attracting people here! Smoke came out of the paper tube, Liu Wei shouted, and rushed towards the more than ten Yellow Turban soldiers standing in front of him.
Guan Qing also hurriedly followed, and quickly rushed towards the more than ten Yellow Turban Army.
The fire lit by the Yellow Turbans was made from a paper tube wrapped in hay smeared with wolf dung. Once lit, it will not burst into flames, but will be like wolf smoke from the beacon tower, billowing smoke.
In order to connect with each other and respond to each other, many armies will have corresponding equipment. Due to the limited resources of the Yellow Turban Army, there are not many people in the army who are equipped with letter fire. What surprised Liu Wei was that these Yellow Turban soldiers would carry this kind of thing with them in order to arrest him.
"There are only two of them, brothers, don't be afraid!" Liu Wei and Guan Qing held long swords, and seeing that they had rushed to a place only seven or eight steps away from the more than ten yellow turbans, the leading yellow turban soldiers waved the short spears in their hands and shouted at the companions behind them: "Kill!" ”
Although his shout is quite imposing, from the words he shouted, he can still hear that in the face of Liu Wei and Guan Qing, his heart is still very empty.
"Kill!" Rushing to the front of this group of Yellow Turban Army, Guan Qing roared, and the long sword in his hand drew a horizontal arc of light, slashing towards the Yellow Turban Army standing at the front.
The yellow turban soldier saw Guan Qing's long sword slashing towards his neck, and hurriedly raised his short spear, trying to block the long sword that slashed towards his neck.
The long sword slashed at the shaft of the short spear held by the Yellow Turban Army, and the short spear made a "click" cracking sound, and the long sword in Guan Qing's hand cut towards the neck of the Yellow Turban Army without diminishing at all.
The spear was slashed by the sword, and the front half fell to the ground, and the Yellow Turban Soldier held the remaining half of the spear shaft in his hand, and his eyes were wide open, watching the arc of light drawn by the sword cut past his neck.
The sharp long sword slashed through the neck of the Yellow Turban soldier, and the tight neck skin slashed with the blade, and with a "snort" sound, it was sliced open, and streams of blood immediately gushed out.
Guan Qing's sword, the strength of the grip was just right, the long sword cut the neck of the Yellow Turban soldier, just cut his throat, but did not cut off the neck bone and cut off his head.
Blood gushed from his neck like a fountain, and the Yellow Turban soldier, whose throat was slashed by Guan Qing's sword, fell on his back, and his body fell heavily on the hard ground.
Rushing towards this group of Yellow Turban soldiers with Guan Qing, Liu Wei held the long sword in both hands, pointed the tip of the sword forward, and roared and pierced the long sword towards the heart of a Yellow Turban soldier.
The long sword was about to pierce into his heart, and the Yellow Turban soldier twisted his body and avoided the blade, but before he could feel glad to avoid the blade, the back of his neck ached, and then the scene in front of him quickly moved up, and he saw his ankle from a very strange angle.
A sword did not stab the heart of the Yellow Turban Army, and at the moment when the two of them staggered, Liu Wei twisted his body and slashed the long sword in his hand backwards.
The downward slashing sword made an arc of light, splitting the back of the Yellow Turban soldier's neck, and a head also fell to the ground with Liu Wei's chopping.
Blood gushed from the headless cavity, and the severed Yellow Turban took two steps forward before collapsing.
Under the slashing of Liu Wei and Guan Qing, more than a dozen Yellow Turban soldiers had little ability to parry, and they were quickly wiped out.
There were more than a dozen blood-stained corpses lying on the ground, Liu Wei and Guan Qing glanced at each other and nodded to each other.
"Don't go any further west!" Turning his head to look at the letter fire on the ground that had been extinguished but was still emitting faint black smoke, Liu Wei said to Guan Qing: "Yesterday, the Yellow Turban pursued us and others, and it was all the way to the northwest, if it went west, it would definitely encounter the Yellow Turban who came to reinforce it!" ”
used to be a Yellow Turban Army, Guan Qing knew that if the fire was lit, it would not take long for the Yellow Turbans to come to reinforce him. She walked up to the fire, stomped on the firefire with her toes, and crushed it a few times until it stopped smoking, and then kicked the flattened fire to the side.
"Go north!" Looking around, Liu Wei raised his hand and pointed to the north, and walked towards the north first.
The two of them went all the way north, and not long after leaving, the Black Turban Army rushed to the place where they had just fought with the more than ten Yellow Turbans.
A Yellow Turban officer stood in front of more than a dozen corpses, looked down at the fragmented corpses that had been chopped up, wrinkled his brows, pointed to the north, and said to the more than 200 Yellow Turban soldiers who followed behind: "The men are divided into two groups, one group detours from the west to the north, and the other group follows a certain group to the north!" ”
More than 200 Yellow Turban soldiers received the order and immediately divided into two teams of 100 people each, one of which rushed towards the northwest, and the other team followed the officers and went straight north to chase Liu Wei and Guan Qing.
Taking Guan Qing all the way to the north, Liu Wei knew that the farther they ran, the farther away from the army. But the Yellow Turban Army who came to chase after them had already discovered their traces, and they would definitely not chase in just one direction, and if they turned back at this time, they would only send themselves to the Yellow Turban Army.
The two of them hurried all the way to the north, and seeing that the sky was about to darken, Liu Wei saw a small village in front of him from a distance, and hurriedly waved his hand to Guan Qing beside him.
Squatting in the field and looking at the small village in front of him, Liu Wei lowered his voice and said to Guan Qing: "It's almost dusk, there is no cooking smoke in the small village ahead, and it must be an empty village again." Sleeping in the wilderness at night, there are many jackals and beasts, and the two of us will stay in the village tonight! ”
"After the meeting arrived at the entrance of the village, the girl was waiting outside the village, the king first went to the village to investigate, if there is no abnormality, it is not too late for the girl to enter the village again!" beckoned to Guan Qing, and Liu Wei quickly ran towards the village.
Guan Qing wanted to say that she would enter the village to investigate, but Liu Bian didn't give her a chance to speak at all, her little mouth just opened, and Liu Bian had already jumped out, which made her feel quite helpless.
Jumping to a place only twenty or thirty steps away from the entrance of the village, Liu Wei stopped again and squatted on the ground to look at the village.
The sun was already on the western horizon, but not a single house in the village was smoking, and the entrance to the village was so quiet that not even the barking of dogs was heard in many villages.
Looking at the quiet and almost suffocating village, Liu Wei turned his head and nodded to Guan Qing, who had already run to his side and had just squatted, and jumped out of the village again, running straight to the entrance of the village.
Since Liu Wei just said that he wanted her to wait outside the village, Guan Qing did not follow Liu Wei to the entrance of the village, but just held a long sword and looked around vigilantly.
Jumping to the entrance of the village, Liu Wei quickly dodged and hid behind a wall.
Although the village was so quiet that he could almost hear the sound of a leaf falling on the ground, Liu Wei still didn't dare to be too careless.
Sometimes, the more peaceful the place, the deeper the hidden murderous intention.
This is not the east of the river, and it is not his territory. This is the border area between Qingzhou and Yanzhou, where all kinds of heroes gather. There are no soldiers and horses under his command, and falling into the hands of any powerful man is a disaster that is difficult to reverse for Liu Wei.
Although there was an alliance with Cao Cao before, the alliance was too weak, and once Cao Cao's men and horses were encountered, I am afraid that from now on, it will not be easy for Liu Wei to return to Hedong.
What worries Liu Wei even more is Gongsun Zhan, who had a holiday with him earlier. On that day, the Bohai Navy dared to openly obstruct him from leading the army to leave in the city, and Gongsun Zhan's intention was already obvious.
There are still nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses under Liu Wei's command, but now he only has a Guan Qing by his side, if he is met by Gongsun Zhan, the outcome will not be much better than being captured by the Yellow Turban Army.
Hiding behind the base of the wall, he held his breath and listened quietly to the movement in the village for a while.
There was not even the slightest sound in the village, Liu Wei pricked up his ears, and listened for a long time, except for a deathly silence, there was no abnormal sound.
It was almost certain that this was an empty village, and Liu Wei walked out from behind the wall, pressed the hilt of his sword with one hand, and walked slowly along the path at the entrance of the village.
Entering the village, his eyes kept looking at the houses on both sides.
The village had apparently been abandoned for a long time, with many of the houses in the village having collapsed roofs, some with crooked doors and frames covered in layers of cobwebs.
After walking around the village and making sure that the village was safe, Liu Wei turned around and walked towards the entrance of the village, wanting to greet Guan Qing, who was still waiting outside, to enter the village quickly.
Seeing that he was about to reach the entrance of the village, there was a sudden neighing of war horses in the distance, and the sound of countless horses' hooves came from far and near like rolling thunder.
Hearing the sound of horses' hooves and the neighing of war horses, Liu Wei hurriedly ran towards the outside of the village, waving to Guan Qing, who was already running towards him.
Guan Qing quickly ran towards the entrance of the village, but at the same time, Liu Wei also saw that behind her, a black cavalry was riding their horses and rushing towards them.
The group of cavalry was getting closer and closer, and when they reached the place where Liu Wei could vaguely distinguish the color of his armor, Liu Wei was immediately full of chagrin, and secretly scolded himself for being too careless, forgetting that there might be such an army stationed nearby.
Following Guan Qing, the cavalry rushing towards the village was the Yanyun Iron Cavalry under Gongsun Zhan.
The place where this team was stationed was not very close to the village, and Liu Wei led Guan Qing to throw off the Yellow Turban Army chasing behind him before entering this place, and the scouts of Yanyun Iron Cavalry had already discovered them.
However, when he first found them, Yan Yun Tieqi didn't pay much attention to them, after all, in the troubled times, it was not strange that two civilians who were covered in blood and were busy fleeing for their lives ran in the field. What really caught the attention of this cavalry was the Yellow Turban Army, which was trailing behind them, with more than 100 men.
After defeating the Yellow Turban Army chasing Liu Wei and Guan Qing, and learning from the captives that they were chasing Liu Wei, the king of Hongnong who had fled from Lu County, Yan Yun Tiecai realized that the stationing here was actually an extra merit out of thin air.
Taking advantage of Liu Wei's entry into the village, only Guan Qing was left to wait outside the village, and the general of the Jizhou Army who led the Yanyun Iron Cavalry thought that the time had come, and ordered a surprise attack on the village.
Standing at the entrance of the village, seeing a large group of cavalry following Guan Qing towards the village, Liu Wei knew that if he ran out of the village and escaped at this time, it would be impossible for him to slip away from the eyes of this group of cavalry.
Seeing that there were still more than ten steps away, Guan Qing could run to the entrance of the village, but her feet suddenly slipped and she fell to the ground. The Yanyun Iron Cavalry following behind her did not slow down at all, and with the roar of the horse's hooves on the ground, hundreds of cavalry were getting closer and closer to Guan Qing, who fell to the ground.
