Chapter 122: Abandoning the City
However, time did not allow them to hesitate so much, and now that Liao Luan had given the order, everyone stopped writing and began to quickly withdraw from Yibei City.
Seeing that everyone obeyed the order, Liao Luan began to retreat quickly and methodically, leading a group of people to lie in ambush directly in the shops on both sides of the road, waiting for the enemy to break through the city gate.
The autumn wind outside the plug was very cold, even if Lin Zuiliu was already wearing a thick one, he still felt that the cool breeze was blowing through his clothes, causing people to shiver.
The wounded in front of them, those who could walk, those who could not walk, were carried by other soldiers, and they all strode in.
Since Lin Zuiliu came to ancient times, what he has seen has always been the spring flowers and autumn moon of the Northern Ring Country, and the singing and dancing in the capital.
Now it is the first time to see such a tragic and tragic scene, even if she is now very tired because of neglect of exercise, she is still trying to speed up her pace and hide in the mountains with everyone.
His Royal Highness's troops couldn't hold out for long, and of course the sooner they were, the better.
When everyone reached the foot of the mountain, Jiang Yan and the remaining two battalions of people happened to arrive here, and everyone successfully converged.
Lin Zuiliu looked left and right, and slipped through the crowd again, but he didn't see Liao Luan's figure in silver-white armor, so he hurriedly grabbed Jiang Yan, who was wearing a rough voice loudly, and asked, "Where is the prince?" Where did the prince go? ”
Jiang Yan breathed in his throat, coughed for a while before he came to his senses, looked left and right, and finally said in surprise, "The prince said that after going to find the palace, I thought he wanted to keep someone else, but I didn't expect him to stay by himself?" ”
"Left it by yourself?" Lin Zuiliu cried out in a lost voice, as if he couldn't accept it.
Her voice was already high-pitched, and now that she screamed, everyone looked back at the two people in the middle.
Jiang Yan was even more anxious when he was seen like this, so he didn't explain at all, and said directly, "You leave the mountain first, and I'll take someone back to pick him up." ”
He said that he was going to order someone to go back together, but Lin Zuiliu hurriedly grabbed him, frowned and refused, "Don't go, I'll go." ”
"What are you going to do? You have thin arms and thin legs, can you fight? Listening to the words of the prince, he hurriedly followed Vice General Guo up the mountain. ”
"Jiang Yan, listen." Lin Zuiliu frowned, and a strategizing temperament like Liao Luan suddenly appeared on his body, "I came up with the plan this time, I have naturally made complete preparations, the prince believes you, you must arrange the brothers, you know?" ”
She looked a little bluffed like this, Jiang Yan was really stunned for a moment, and nodded.
Seeing him nodding, Lin Zuiliu didn't say anything more to him, directly ordered some cavalry, and said, "You guys, go back with me to pick up the prince." ”
"Yes."
As everyone spoke, they all got on the horse, and Lin Zuiliu also pulled the reins of the horse, took a deep breath, turned over on the horse, and galloped back in the direction he came.
The city gate made a dull sound, the whole city was dead silent, deserted, billowing black smoke and corpses could be seen everywhere, the smell of blood came to the nostrils, and the next second, the gate of Yibei City was finally broken by the enemy.
Mo He led his men into the city together, only to realize that Liao Luan had abandoned the city and fled with others.
This made him really surprised, after all, with his understanding of Liao Luan, this person is the kind of dead-eyed person who is ruined by the city, and he will never do such a thing of abandoning the city and running away.
He felt that something was wrong, so he stretched out his hand to signal to the soldiers behind him, "Be careful, be careful of an ambush." ”
As he spoke, everyone slowed down their pace.
Liao Luan was hiding in a tailor's shop at this time, looking out along the crack in the door, and a large number of people outside Wuyangyang were all pouring into the city gate at this time.
When the enemy army had already entered halfway in, and before he could call the infantry behind, Mo He suddenly heard a loud whistle, and then the city gate slammed shut.
Mo He secretly said in his heart that it was not good, and Liao Luan really had a move.
Thinking about it, he hurriedly shouted loudly, "There is an ambush, prepare carefully!" ”
As he spoke, a large net suddenly fell from the sky, the net cable was as thick as a thumb, and the toughness was excellent, trapping several people including Mo He in it at once.
In the next second, there was a loud bang on the left and right sides of the road, and Mo He saw clearly that the person who appeared in front of him was Liao Luan, who he thought had abandoned the city and left.
Rolling boulders swooped down from the roof and smashed into the crowd, killing and wounding in a few moments.
Liao Luan was like a cheetah rushing into the herd of deer, wielding the flying feather sword in his hand and retreating while fighting, Mo He was trapped in the net, the dagger could not cut through the huge net, and he could not get out.
However, Liao Luan's state at this time is really not good.
Even if he caught the turtle in the urn, temporarily cut off their way out, and cut off half of the army's line, the enemy was still too much compared to their situation at this time, and he couldn't kill them all.
He frowned and looked at the soldiers of the Northern Ring Country who were fighting hard, and shouted loudly, "Don't fall in love with war, go quickly." ”
As he spoke, he pulled a soldier who was about to be cut back quickly.
There were too many enemies, and he couldn't see the soldiers left behind by his side for a while.
Liao Luan didn't go out along the door again, he led the remaining soldiers who ran out, and went directly into the city lord's mansion next to the military tent where he had settled.
The map in the Chinese military tent had been taken away at this time, and the sand table was also destroyed, and he led everyone into a study in the side hall, and when he opened it, there was a deep tunnel.
"Let's go."
Everyone hurriedly entered the tunnel one after another without hesitation, and the tunnel was dim, and they couldn't see their fingers.
After everyone entered, Liao Luan turned around and entered the tunnel, and then pressed the button on the wall, and the door slowly closed again, and everything returned to its original state.
The tunnel is very long, everyone doesn't know how long to walk, only to see a slight light, and when they go out, they find that this is the Gobi outside the northern city of Yibei.
This was the direction leading to Yueshan, and everyone was in groups, supporting each other, and quickly marching towards that side, thinking of gathering with the large army.
Liao Luan walked at the front of the crowd, walked for about an hour, and suddenly saw a group of people rushing in front of him.
The sand and gravel on the ground flew all over the sky, Liao Luan squinted his eyes, and said in a cold voice, "Be on guard." ”
He didn't have many people with him, and at this time, after the battle, there were probably less than ten, but he didn't expect that there were still people guarding them here when they left the city.
Liao Luan's nerves were tense, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the oncoming group of people.
However, as the group approached, he suddenly felt as if something was not quite right.
The man at the head was short, and even when he sat on a war horse, he looked very thin, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar he became.
It turned out to be Lin Zuiliu.
He didn't expect Lin Zuiliu to come back, he was really disobedient, he didn't think too much, he said directly, "It's a friendly army, go and assemble." ”
As he spoke, he took the lead in running to the middle of the road and waved his hand at Lin Zuiliu.
Lin Zuiliu naturally saw Liao Luan in front of her, and Xiao Hei, who was riding under her, had already started to snort happily, she hurriedly pulled the reins of the horse and stopped the horse.
Looking at Liao Luan, who didn't seem to have received any damage in front of her, she was relieved.
It wasn't the time to educate him, Lin Zuiliu didn't say much, and said directly, "Get on the horse, let's hurry up and gather with everyone." ”
Hearing her say this, everyone got on the horse, and the two rode together, Liao Luan also whispered a word, pulled the reins handed by Lin Zuiliu, and flew on the horse.
The road was dusty, and the procession was drifting away.
By the time Mo He successfully came out of the predicament, there was no shadow of Liao Luan in front of him, and there was no one left in Chi Xiaowei.
He was very angry, and he was afraid that he would go back to Chu Zhongtian to teach him a lesson, so he directly opened his mouth and ordered, "They will definitely not be able to escape far, we will chase, deputy general, you go and tell the rear, let the team behind follow." ”
As he spoke, he took the lead in leaving Yibei City.
followed closely, and when Liao Luan, Lin Zuiliu and others arrived at the foot of the mountain, Jiang Yan had already fled to the mountain with everyone.
But they saw an unexpected group of people.
"Moshan? Why are you here? ”
She shouted in surprise, and Maoshan over there finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw them, and explained, "Before leaving, Jiang Yan sent me a message, saying that you would come to Yueshan, and I will wait for you directly here, what's the matter?" How can it be so tragic? ”
At this time, when he didn't say so much, Lin Zuiliu didn't explain much, but only roughly talked about the situation of the two parties.
Liao Luan listened to what the two of them said, and said, "Let's talk about this matter when we go back, go up the mountain first, and the chasing soldiers are coming." ”
After he finished speaking, everyone heard a lot of footsteps, and they stopped inking, and followed them up the mountain.
Maoshan brought the Suzaku Battalion, a total of 20,000 people, and it was really not easy to hide, but now there was no other way, so in the end they had to disperse, each hiding in the mountains, and made an appointment to meet directly in Fu'an City.
Liao Luan naturally took on the responsibility of attracting pursuers.
Lin Zuiliu's idea was to lead them into the mountains and forests, and it was best to burn them directly along the direction of the wind.
Sleepy to send a pillow, her idea was originally difficult to implement, but Maoshan thought that since he was coming for reinforcements, he brought a few cans of fire oil, which could just come in handy at this time.
"Maoshan, you take a few soldiers, sprinkle fire oil around the woods, remember to form a circle."
"Yes"
"The hidden guards of the Vermilion Bird Battalion listen to the order, follow me, and go to lead people."
"Yes."
Liao Luan arranged the next things very properly, Lin Zuiliu looked at his resolute side face and sighed in his heart, this person is afraid that he will be in danger again.
He is always like this, taking other people's lives as his life, and his own life is like worthless, and he wastes it at will.
Mo He was waiting for reinforcements, so he naturally walked slowly, so there was plenty of time, Liao Luan arranged everyone, and then turned around and looked at Lin Zuiliu, who was a little embarrassed at this time.
In his impression, Lin Zuiliu has always been the kind of lady who is everyone, even when she is the most down, the momentum on her body is not ordinary.
