Chapter 289
After a while, Xiao Wu hurried back, carrying a burden in his hand and an even bigger burden behind his back. As soon as he saw Gu Xuebin, he knelt on the ground with a "plop" and shouted: "I have seen the prince (diàn)." ”
"平 (shēn)." Gu Xuebin raised his hand to signal Xiao Wu to get up, and then said, "Later, you will be responsible for treating the injured with Jinyao, don't rush to the front easily, understand?" ”
Xiao Wu nodded and agreed loudly: "Yes." ”
Gu Xuebin turned to the man in the dark green robe again, and said, "General Sun, are you all ready?" ”
General Sun bowed (shēn) and hugged his fists and said, "Under the prince (diàn), two thousand soldiers and horses are ready to go. Please (diàn) give an order. ”
Gu Xuebin nodded, walked over and took the reins from Ma Tong's hand, and the vertical (shēn) jumped on the horse's back, waved his hand, and said, "Okay, let's go immediately." ”
Ma Tong hurriedly led Su Jinyao's horse to her. Su Jinyao (shēn) wore a battle armor and was somewhat inconvenient to move. Therefore, he did not fly directly (shēn) on the horse like Gu Xuebin, but stepped on the stirrup and got on the horse's back in a regular manner.
The war horse was matched with the battle armor, and Su Jinyao suddenly felt that the momentum of Zhou (shēn) was different. 安首 (tǐng) (xiōng) carries a sense of majesty and 豪 (qíng).
This time, Gu Xuebin took away not a horse team of 2,000 people, only thirty princes were riding horses, and the rest were all infantry. Therefore, the speed of the march was not fast, and the line was a little long.
Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin were on horseback, and not far behind (shēn) was the general Sun. Su Jinyao said: "Che, if you go over like this, will you be able to reach the camp of the Qingfan people before (rì) fall?" ”
Gu Xuebin nodded and said, "I can only do my best." Of the 40,000 soldiers and horses under my command, only 10,000 were cavalry, and now the remaining 2,000 must not be taken with them. ”
Su Jinyao sighed secretly, feeling that this Chu Xiang was really too capable, and that Chen Kuo was not very reliable. If I knew this, I really shouldn't have given them so many cavalry.
In fact, Gu Xuebin's original intention was to let them go and come back quickly, not to fall in love. It's also good to be able to disturb the camp of the Qingfan.
No one knew that Chu Xiang and Chen Kuo had temporarily changed their strategies, which was really beyond their means.
After walking for more than an hour, the scout horse sent out before came back again and reported to Gu Xuebin: "Under Qiyu (diàn), Vice General Chu has begun to prepare to break through, but Vice General Chen is still besieged. Do you want to pass on the news to the past, so that they can rest in peace and wait for us to go to the rescue? ”
Gu Xuebin twisted his brows and thought for a while, and said, "Use the banner to give an order, let them break through after dark." Don't act rashly until again. As the destination got closer and closer, Gu Xuebin's brows became more and more furrowed. Su Jinyao knew that he was worried about the besieged soldiers.
Su Jinyao doesn't know how to arrange troops, she is not omnipotent after all. But her eyes fell on the wolf king Ah Ye's (shēn), and an idea immediately popped up.
The wolf king Ah Ye is not a dog to watch the house, so he will not stay anywhere honestly. So it's almost impossible to see its (shēn) shadow in the camp.
But whenever Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin leave the barracks, it will definitely appear and follow left and right.
Su Jinyao pulled the horse to Gu Xuebin and said to him, "How about letting Ah Ye cooperate with us and drive those hyenas away?" ”
"Jin Yao, what do you mean......" Gu Xuebin thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Ah Ye is indeed an extraordinary wolf. But the wolf's territorial consciousness is very strong, it has become a lone wolf outside its own territory, if you want to order other wolves, either the difference in strength is very large, so that the other party directly surrenders; Either that or cause a dispute, and in the end, Ah Ye wins and wins the new wolf king. But it can't easily command the wolves here. ”
Su Jinyao nodded and said, "That's it." Let Ah Ye stir up a dispute, and many wolves will fight with it. And the fight between the wolves must be very motivating. Will those hyenas break in and wade into troubled waters while the wolves are fighting? ”
In other words, the hyena is even more cunning, like a ruffian. But hyenas are also more timid, and they will not easily offend animals that are more powerful than them. Opponents, whether in a group or one, will flee with their tails between their legs when the hyenas recognize the danger.
Gu Xuebin listened to Su Jinyao's prompt, his eyes lit up, and he said, "That is to say, let Ah Ye attract all the wolves here and cause a chaotic battle." Not only can it prevent the Qingfan people from sending hyenas to attack us, but also can it make those Qingfan people scramble for a while? ”
Su Jinyao nodded and said, "That's right." It's just that in this way, Ah Ye is in danger. But I believe in it, it's a wolf with righteousness after all. ”
Su Jinyao said that Ah Ye has (qíng) righteousness, and because its spiritual intelligence is much higher than that of other wolves. If it was just an ordinary wolf king, it would be impossible to travel thousands of miles just by relying on his strong physique.
But the difference between Ah Ye and humans is that after it comes into contact with humans, it has a higher intelligence, so it can carry out human orders, and it can also know how to use the situation and environment.
Therefore, Su Jinyao believes that Ah Ye definitely has a way to cause chaos (sāo) and then take advantage of the chaos to escape. And those ordinary wolves don't have such skills.
Those hyenas of the Qing Fan (cāo) are even simpler-minded and obedient to orders, perhaps following animal instincts, and such opponents are simply pediatric to Ah Ye.
Su Jinyao looked at the sky and said to Gu Xuebin: "It's almost dusk now, and we are closer to our destination." Why don't you take a break for a while and try to let Ah Ye do this? ”
Gu Xuebin agreed, and immediately ordered General Sun to give the order to go down, rest in place, and wait for the order. But no one should let their guard down.
General Sun didn't hear what Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin said just now, and he was still a little puzzled. But he was not from Chu Xiang's team, so he didn't make a fuss about saving people immediately, but after a little hesitation, he still went to give the order.
The soldiers rested, while Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin jumped off their horses and beckoned the wolf king Ah Ye to the side (shēn).
Ah Ye was very close to these two owners who had given him wholehearted care when he was young, and when he was beckoned, he circled around the two.
Su Jinyao squatted down (shēn), hugged Ah Ye's neck and rubbed her hair, and then issued a simple order to it: "Ah Ye, you go and lure all the wolves in this vicinity and let them rush to the camp of the Qingfan people." May I? ”
Ah Ye's golden pupils shrank significantly, as if he was also thinking about Su Jinyao's order. After a while, Ah Ye shouted twice at Su Jinyao.
Ah Ye learned to bark at the dog, and the picture was a little joyful. However, this means that Ah Ye understands it, and then turns (shēn) and runs. The wolf king's majestic (shēn) posture looks even more vigorous and graceful in the setting sun.
Night slowly falls, and the surrounding scenery is blurred. The shadows of the trees in the distance are full of shadows, and even the shadows appear dark and (yīn) heavy.
Until a wolf howl sounded, desolate and majestic, as if it was a sharp sword cutting through the night, people couldn't help but tense up when they heard it.
Soon after, wolf howls rang out one after another, first from the north and then from the west. After a while, there was a strong and majestic howl from the south.
Until there was a wolf howl in all directions, Gu Xuebin and Su Jinyao glanced at each other, and the two of them quickly got on the horse.
Gu Xuebin turned his head and said, "Pass the order and prepare to go." Don't clash head-on with the wolves, take a detour outside the encirclement, wait for the opportunity, and cooperate with the two adjutants Chu and Chen to break through. ”
The wolf howls continued to sound, and finally they joined together again. The team also set off again, running as fast as possible towards the place where Chu Xiang and Chen Kuo were besieged.
Su Jinyao immediately said to Gu Xuebin: "It's better for you to lead people on the side where the defense is weak, and I will take a small team of people to rescue the other side that is heavily defended." Your side has a good chance of success and can save more people. I'm in charge of containment here, so let's save as much as I can. ”
Gu Xuebin's brows furrowed, and he said to Su Jinyao: "Jinyao, do you have to let yourself take risks?" When we came out, you promised to just stay with me (shēn). ”
Su Jinyao said: "I won't put myself in danger, I just want to contain the enemy army." Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to do both. ”
Of course, Gu Xuebin knew that in fact, Su Jinyao's method was the most reasonable. Then he said: "In that case, Jin Yao, you and General Sun will go to the west to help Chu Xiang break through." I took 500 people to the east to rescue Chen Kuo. ”
To the west was the camp of the Qingfan people, and Chu Xiang was in charge of the sneak attack on the camp, but he was surrounded by 10,000 horses and horses of Qingfan.
And Chen Kuo in the east was surrounded by war pythons. Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin have both seen the power of the war python, if they are surrounded by the war python, the chance of escaping is really small.
Obviously, Gu Xuebin didn't want Su Jinyao to risk facing those war pythons, so he chose the east by himself.
Su Jinyao still wanted to fight for it, but Gu Xuebin shook his head at her silently, signaling her to stop fighting. Then he directly ordered General Sun to go to the west.
General Sun looked at Su Jinyao, frowned, and said to Gu Xuebin: "Your Majesty the Prince (diàn), with all due respect to your subordinates, although Miss Liu rides a horse well, it is indeed not suitable for a girl's family to charge into battle (qíng). It's better to let her rest here, and I will divide the troops with the prince (diàn) and lead the troops to the east. "Originally, Su Jinyao was not a person in this army, and she really had no obligation to lead the troops to kill the enemy.
Now General Sun's words did not mean to despise women, but were very pertinent, and Su Jinyao didn't feel harsh.
She just said truthfully: "General Sun, I am not a person who is very happy, I don't just want to take advantage of this opportunity to take advantage of anything, I don't even want to part with the crown prince (diàn)." But the wolf king who just ran out can only be mobilized by me and the prince. Now it's leading the wolves to attack the camp of the Qingfan, and we don't know where it's coming from. If the prince and I were walking along the way, and it came out from the other side, I was afraid that it would cause accidental injury to our army. ”
Now they are relying on the sāo disturbance of the wolves to let the Qingfan people mess with themselves, so that they can take the opportunity to save people. In case the wolves are driven away by Ah Ye, the six relatives do not recognize each other, it is likely to cause a chaotic situation where we do not distinguish between friend and foe.
And if Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin act separately, no matter if Ah Ye appears over there with a pack of wolves, they should pay attention to avoiding their own side. I believe in a wolf king, this bit of brainpower is still there.
General Sun listened to Su Jinyao's words, so he had no choice but to nod and said, "I offended Miss Liu just now, and I have no words, and I ask Miss Liu to forgive me." ”
Su Jinyao shook her head and said, "It's okay." I know that General Sun is out of protection for me, not out of despising me, and of course I don't blame him. General Sun, I don't know how to lead the troops to fight with a cane, so this time you are still the main force. ”
General Sun can be regarded as having reached a consensus with Su Jinyao, and together with her, he led his men and horses to attack to the west.
Before separating from Gu Xuebin, Su Jinyao glanced at Gu Xuebin quite deeply, smiled at him, and ran towards the west.
Even though I have a thousand words in my heart, now is not the time to say them. Su Jinyao believed that Gu Xuebin would pay attention to the safety of self (shēn), and he would promise himself a future, which was enough.
The road to the west is not difficult, and after a short run, you can already see the camp tents of the Qingfan people and the flickering bonfires in the night.
Su Jinyao slowed down and asked General Sun, "How can we know where our people are?" ”
General Sun said: "Our army has a special pill that is thrown into the fire when the signal is transmitted. When the fire burns, it is a blue flame. However, the flames don't last much, so they can only be used as temporary messengers. I signaled, and then I watched the fire, and when the fire changed color, we rushed over there. ”
Su Jinyao nodded and said, "Then ask General Sun to prepare to send a signal." However, it must wait until the wolves have disturbed the camp of the Qingfan. ”
General Sun said, "Okay, I understand. ”
didn't let Su Jinyao wait too long, and the wolf howl got closer and closer. Then you could hear the screams of someone in the camp ahead, and then the cries of pain and scolding rang out.
In the dark night, there were countless wolf shadows swimming and passing by quickly, and even if she was not in the wolf pack, Su Jinyao could feel a deep fear.
It was the instinctive fear of the beasts and humans of nature, and the steel teeth and claws of the wolf were completely incapable of man.
Even if you are a person with excellent martial arts, once you are besieged by wolves, you may not be able to get out unscathed. What's more, now we have to face several packs of wild wolves.
At the same time, Su Jinyao also began to worry about Ah Ye, she didn't know if Ah Ye would be able to get off (shēn) smoothly. Don't be surrounded by angry wolves.
General Sun looked at Su Jinyao, took out a finger-thick bamboo tube from his sleeve, and said, "Miss Liu, I'm going to send a signal." ”
"Okay." Su Jinyao nodded. Then I saw General Sun twist the bamboo tube away and throw it violently into the sky.
A flash of light erupted, followed by a high-pitched, piercing chirp piercing the night sky.
Su Jinyao stared at the chaotic camp in front of her, trying to find a different color of firelight.
Finally, a blue flame appeared and disappeared in a fire. The fire was not big, but it was cold and miserable at night.
"There." General Sun also noticed the changing color of the fire, and waved his hand at the soldiers behind (shēn), signaling to rush over.
They are aiming to save people, and the rush to kill is also to catch the Qingfan people off guard and neglect their precautions, so Chu Xiang can lead people to rush out and kill.
At this time, the camp of the Qingfan people was already in chaos, not only the surprise attack of the wolves surprised them, but even the hyenas they fed themselves were disturbed by the wolves and shouted, and many of them rushed out of the enclosure and scurried around in the camp.
Although Chu Xiang and his men were surrounded by the Qingfan, the Qingfanmen deliberately used them as bait (yòu), so they did not kill them immediately.
Now that there was a signal that they could make a surprise attack, and the Qingfan people who were already in chaos (sāo) everywhere had no time to take care of them, the soldiers who had been besieged all day and were already in despair were again hopeful. One by one, they all picked up their weapons, picked up their wounded comrades (shēn), and rushed outside.
The wolves were caught off guard, and the strongest of them, the black wolf king, shuttled between the wolves and the crowd, and specially looked for the camp of the Qingfan people to drill.
The wolves who refused to obey Ah Ye's leadership, believing that Ah Ye had violated their territory, desperately pursued and intercepted the alien giant wolf in order to hunt down the alien giant wolf. At this time, all humans who stood in front of the wolves were regarded as enemies.
So even if the Qingfan people wanted to resist hard, they were quickly torn to pieces by the wolves that rushed over.
Chu Xiang's people took this opportunity and rushed out. Although there were casualties, and some were accidentally injured by wolves, fortunately, most of them had escaped the encirclement of the Qingfan.
And Chu Xiang really didn't expect that as soon as he broke out of the encirclement, what he saw was a (shēn) heroic woman wearing cowhide armor fighting against the Qingfan who tried to stop them.
And when Chu Xiang saw clearly that the woman who came to the rescue was Su Jinyao, not only gratitude, but also admiration rose in his heart.
"General Sun, you take the wounded and go first. I'll go to the prince's side to pick it up. After Su Jinyao finished talking to General Sun, she shouted at Ah Ye, who was breaking out of the encirclement: "Ah Ye, take your wolf pack, let's go find Gu Xuebin." ”
After saying that, she slammed the horse and ran towards the east with Ah Ye.
Although she acted separately from Gu Xuebin, Su Jinyao was of course most concerned about Gu Xuebin's safety. Now that Chu Xiang and his soldiers have broken out of the encirclement, of course Su Jinyao is going to Gu Xuebin's side to fight side by side with him.
Ah Ye howled in the sky, turned around and slapped a paw at a wolf beside it (shēn). He rolled the wolf on the ground, then turned (shēn) and chased after Ah Ye. Su Jinyao was really puzzled by Ah Ye's way of greeting her companions. But the effect is surprisingly good.
I saw Ah Ye running in front of Su Jinyao, and a large number of wolves swarmed after him.
Su Jinyao looked at the posture of the wolves chasing after her, and her heart shrank, feeling as if she was running one step slower, and she might be gnawed by the wolves until there were no bones left.
She glanced back at the wolves that were struggling to pursue.
