Chapter 221: Caught in a Desperate Situation

And they stayed for more than an hour, and after almost an hour, the Xianbei cavalry followed the trail.

Li Zhong saw the mark left by Gongzi on the tree that only he understood as "danger ahead", so he glanced at the two people around him, and several people automatically walked to the back slowly.

Then came the neighing and wailing of horses' hooves, and the men who walked ahead had already stepped into the trap hidden under the leaves, and the men and horses had fallen into the barbed trap, dead and wounded.

Xianbei's team stopped advancing, and the leader in front asked a few people to go down first, dismount and explore the way, and soon the pathfinder said loudly, "My lord, there are no traps here. ”

So the leading group of Xianbei cavalry in front of them went to the place where there was no trap.

Li Zhong's eyes were still watching everywhere, whether there were any traces left by the son, when he saw the signs on the trees in front of him, and the ropes that could not be seen without looking closely, and then looked up at the direction of the group of teams in front of him, Li Zhong's veiled face showed a strange smile.

When many people walked into that area, Li Zhong leaned over to a Xianbei cavalryman and said, "You see there's a rope over there, could it be a trap?" ”

The cavalryman listened to Li Zhong's words, looked in the direction indicated by Li Zhong, and sure enough, he saw the hidden rope, his eyes lit up, and he sped up his horse and walked to the side of the leader in front, and said, "My lord, you see there is a rope over there, it must be to trip our war horse, I'll go over and take a look." ”

The leader nodded without doubt, and the cavalry went over with great triumph, and cut the rope with one sword, and when he saw that there were still a few ropes in front of him, he went over and waved his sword, and cut them one by one.

As soon as the cutting was finished, there was a wail in front of it, and when I looked ahead, I saw that the "no traps" in the sky where the team in front of me was walking suddenly fell from the sky and many traps full of wooden thorns fell directly on the heads of those people.

The leader of the back saw the scene in front of him, and then looked at the cut ropes, drew his saber with anger on his face, and rushed to the cavalry who had just cut the rope with a clamp on the horse's belly, and the saber slashed at the neck of the cavalryman who turned his head, and scolded coldly, "Useless fool." ”

At the last moment, the cavalryman turned his gaze to the man who had just told him the news, even if he was covered with a veil, he could see clearly that the man had a smile on his face, and there was endless ridicule in his eyes, and he wanted to speak, but his life had reached the last moment, and everything was too late, and he gradually lost consciousness completely and fell from his horse.

Because of the traps just now, there were almost seventy or eighty casualties, and the Xianbei cavalry team had to stop and rest first, and then all slowed down, testing whether there were traps, while slowly following the trail.

After walking for more than half an hour, I didn't encounter any more traps, and finally let my guard down and speed up again.

Li Yun and the others kept speeding up and continued to hurry, but in the evening, Li Yue had people kill two war horses, cruelly chop them into pieces, throw them away as they walk, and then continue to move forward.

Zhao Zhutou didn't understand Li Yue's intentions, so he asked curiously, "What's the use of this?" ”

Li Yue said with a smile, "At night, this beast is afraid that it will come out to forage for food, let's leave some food for the beasts on the way, and the beasts should always help us stop a little way." ”

And when the Xianbei cavalry followed the trail to the place where Li Yue lost the corpse of the war horse, it was already night, and from time to time they would encounter wild beasts, this cavalry had sabers in their hands, and there were many people, plus when they passed through Daliang Mountain before, they had already experienced the attack of these beasts, but they were not afraid, and many people besieged the beasts in an orderly manner and knocked the beasts down.

But these beasts are naturally ferocious, and it is night, even if these Xianbei cavalry are experienced, there are still many people who are injured and painted, and the smell of blood emitted by the corpses of these beasts attracts more beasts to gather here.

The Xianbei cavalry eagerly wanted to catch up with "Zhou Huaijin", even at night, they still continued to hurry, but these war horses were born vigilant, smelling the smell of blood in front, listening to the howl of the beasts approaching, but they were not willing to continue to move forward anyway, they had to dismount and lead the war horses to pull the horses forward without stopping, in order to continue to move forward, so that the speed of continuous march was slow, and these cavalry were tired enough.

Lord Huya, who had already arrived to join the crowd, looked at this soberness, and saw that more and more people were injured by the wild beasts, and had to give orders to find a place to rest and recuperate, and then continue to move forward at dawn.

At this time, Li Yun also found a cave, but there was a blind bear living in this cave.

Along the way, Li Yunlinxiao led the way, and basically avoided the beasts along the way, this is the first time everyone has seen the beasts on the Daliang Mountain, such a huge bear is blind, almost two people tall, and everyone understands the danger of the beasts in the Daliang Mountain.

Many people worked together to finally kill the blind bear, everyone was tired and panting, and one was accidentally injured by the blind bear's claws, fortunately there were Lin Xiao and Li Yue, and they might be a little guilty after the journey, but they didn't have to worry about their lives.

After that, they rested in this cave, and ate the meat of the blind bear, and asked them to prepare some for morrow.

The next morning, the crowd set out again and continued on their way.

Two groups of people, just like this, have been going around in this Daliang Mountain for several days, the trap set by Li Yue, the first few times the effect is very good, so that the Xianbei cavalry lost almost 100 people, plus the beast attack and died, almost 200 people have been lost, but the back is more fooled, the Xianbei cavalry has also become shrewd, this trap basically has little effect.

In this way, Li Yue and they delayed a lot of time because of the trap, but the Xianbei cavalry chased them closer and closer, listening to the news of the Xianbei cavalry that Lin Xiao came back, Li Yun opened his mouth and said, "It seems that they have discovered the clues of our trap, we can't stop tonight, continue to hurry, otherwise we will really catch up with them." ”

Li Yue frowned, "The beasts of the night are not easy to deal with. ”

Li Yun heard Li Yue's words, and said a little helplessly, "Then there is no way, we can only try to avoid those beasts, and we can't let the Xianbei cavalry catch up with us, just our people, if we are caught up, we will definitely not be able to escape from their palms." ”

Li Yue sighed and said, "Okay, Adjutant Liu, let everyone rest for an hour, and then continue on their way." ”

Adjutant Liu has been beside the two of them, the news that Lin Xiao brought back just now, and the conversation between Li Yun and Li Yue, he heard it clearly, and after listening to Li Yue's words, he gave an order without hesitation.

It's just that all of them didn't expect that they would actually meet a group of big insects, not one, but a group, at least twenty or thirty, Li Yue looked at the group of tigers in front of him who seemed to be taller than himself, not afraid of the torches in their hands at all, and approached them step by step, thinking quickly about countermeasures in his mind.

At this time, Li Yunfei sat directly behind Li Yue's horse, and said to everyone, "Abandon the horse, everyone will flee in that direction, try not to fall behind, speed." ”

At this time, there was no extra time for them to think, Li Yun had already flown away from the horse's back after speaking, and said to Lin Xiao on the side as he left, "You cut a knife behind each horse, and let the horse rush towards the tigers." ”

At the moment of life and death, everyone did not hesitate at all, quickly abandoned their horses and ran in the direction pointed by Li Yun, Li Yun held Li Yue in one hand and a torch in the other, and also ran forward quickly.

Seeing that everyone had left the horses, Lin Xiao mentioned the light work, carried a saber and quickly jumped between the horses, and the horses rushed towards the tigers like crazy, but these horses were completely out of proportion to this group of tigers, so they ran over, and saw the tiger in front of him pounced, directly knocked the horses down, and the tiger's mouth bit directly on the horse's neck.

Lin Xiao didn't have time to continue to enjoy the scene of the tiger hunting for food, and quickly chased in the direction where Li Yun and the others left, and when he caught up with Li Yun and Li Yue, he turned around and forgot to look at the back, looking at those tigers tearing up those war horses, before he spoke, "It should be possible to stop for a while, these tigers are too terrible, we have to leave quickly." ”

Everyone ran for their lives in this night, and they didn't notice the direction at all, and the Xianbei cavalry, who stopped to rest at this time, the soldier who was on the night vigil suddenly woke up his companions next to him, and said, "Look, is there a fire on the mountain over there." ”

Then Lord Huye was woken up, and then all the Xianbei cavalry were woken up, and chased after the firelight.

There are only two groups of people on this Daliang Mountain, "Zhou Huaijin" and Xianbei cavalry, and Huye is sure that those moving fires are definitely the group of "Zhou Huaijin".

Li Zhong, who was mixed in the team, was full of worry in his eyes.

Those tigers, after tearing up the food in their mouths, continued to look for Li Yun and their breath and chased over, fortunately, the sky was already a little cloudy, and everyone could extinguish the torches in their hands and speed up their march.

But everyone is getting more and more tired, and the speed of the tigers in the mountains and forests is simply incomparable to them, and soon Li Yun and his party have been forced to a lake, Li Yue always feels that this place is somewhat familiar, and he seems to have been here.

At this time, Li Yue's mind was also running rapidly, searching for everything about the tiger in his memory, the tiger can swim, but it won't take the initiative to go into the water, but I don't know if these people together can water.

But before Li Yue could say that he was in the water, he heard movement from the other side of the lake, and then saw a dense Xianbei cavalry appear on the other side of the lake.

At this time, everyone, including Li Yun and Li Yue, had a desperate look in their eyes, and they had nowhere to escape.
