Chapter 064: Turning the Danger into Leaving the Land Behind
As they walked along the trail, the road became narrower and narrower, and the road was lined with continuous low mountains, and they had no idea what was behind the mountains.
Tuli and Qinggeltai can only take the middle road, and the mountain in front of them is even more mysterious.
At this time, Qinggeltai no longer had the pride he had when he went out on the expedition, and some of them had a sense of guilt like running for his life. If it weren't for his assertion to besiege the Kemur tribe for a while, then he would have been able to sit back and wait for the Kamur tribe's good land to be handed over.
Because of his impulsiveness, he has caused the current passive situation of soldiers and horses, and it is definitely impossible to say that he does not regret it.
"General Tuli, where are we going?"
Although there was a little uneasiness in Qinggeltai's heart, as the king of a country, he still fought hard and tried his best to maintain the majesty he deserved.
"Great Khan, cross this low mountain, and you will soon find Kur's soldiers and horses, and his soldiers and horses are still intact. If we can make it through here, we should be able to see Chur as soon as possible and make a comeback. ”
This sentence was undoubtedly like a reassuring pill, which comforted Qing Getai's heart a little. But when he saw that he was about to pass through the clamp in front of him, his uneasy emotions still couldn't stop coming out.
He looked left and right at the mountains around him and the soldiers around him.
"Could there be an ambush here, why didn't we find this road before?"
Qinggeltai's words, Tuli heard it clearly, and silently replied in his heart.
"If it weren't for the Khan, you didn't listen to people's persuasion and were too conceited, we wouldn't have fallen into this situation."
But, on the surface, he did not refute Chingeltai.
Listening to his tone, at this moment, he is not because of the king, but more like a helpless old man.
The reason why General Tuli desperately rescued Qing Geldai this time was because he still had another ghost idea in his heart, that is, Princess Mengyu that he had never forgotten. Although Tuli has a family for a long time, he has long been incorrigibly in love with the princess who is growing up. , Therefore, such an opportunity is a godsend for Tuli.
If they can evade General Baoli's soldiers and horses this time and return to Khanyi Kingdom smoothly and safely, then he will be the most important hero. The reward that the khan may give, according to the traditional rules, can make the rewarded person make a request himself, and then he can ask for Qinggeltai's consent, and it will not be difficult for Princess Mengyu to let him go. Even if Princess Mengyu is married now, in Khan Yiguo, once the married daughter is recalled by her parents, she can still remarry. It's not about being submissive to her, it's about having no choice at all.
Thinking of this, Tuli felt that he was getting closer and closer to the time to return to Khanyi.
"Great Khan, I just inquired about this road, and I haven't seen the soldiers and horses coming for a while, at least it can let us take a breath, I don't think you should worry too much."
Qing Ge Tai only felt helpless at this time, since things have developed to this point, it is better to be at peace with the situation, not to mention that it is impossible for him to leave this place alone, thinking of this, Qing Ge Tai felt that his mind was a little relieved.
As they walked, thinking about how to escape, Erdun had already chased after them with his men.
Obviously, Erdun didn't want to give them any respite. Tuli and Qinggeltai's ideas already seem very ridiculous and unrealistic at this time.
Hearing the sound of horses' hooves behind him, Qinggeltai felt his heart clenched all of a sudden.
"General Tuli, with our current number of soldiers and horses, there may be a dead end if we go forward, and a dead end if we go backwards, so it's better to fight with them."
As he spoke, Qinggeltai was about to turn his horse's head and go back, desperately with Erton, but General Tuli bent down and grabbed the reins.
"Great Khan, until the critical moment, you can't give up, there is no endless road, we just have to rush forward now, and let the soldiers and horses behind stop it."
As if he was confident, General Tuli hurriedly kicked the horse of Qinggeltai, and the horse was kicked by Tuli and ran even faster.
At this time, Erdun's pursuers were already very close to the Tuli general and Qinggeltai.
"Great Khan, you just go forward, leave me alone, I'll resist first, you can go quickly."
After saying that, Tu Li took the long Yue in his hand and slapped it hard at Qinggeltai's horse, probably because of excessive force, the horse seemed to be frightened in an instant, and its hooves lifted forward, making a neigh. Then, like an arrow, he rushed forward. Fortunately, Qing Geldtai grew up on horseback since he was a child, and he has seen fierce horses. Seeing this scene, he grabbed the reins tightly, leaned over the horse's back, and followed the horse out of the general's sight in an instant. Immediately, more than a dozen soldiers came up, and at the signal of General Tuli, they followed him and left quickly.
On this side, Erdun had already rushed to the front of General Tuli, and the two generals set up a position on this path. Tuli held a long Yue in his hand, and Erdun held a long ge in his hand, and the two sides waved it, as if the other party was fighting. The other soldiers also fought with each other, and suddenly the path here was almost completely occupied by horses. General Tuli has been entangled in Erdun, and even if he wants to leave at this moment, it will be even more difficult.
The two fought on horseback for a while, because General Tuli was in a more anxious mood to escape, and the movements in his hands seemed too flustered and careless, Erdun's Changge had already opened a blood-red opening on the armor on his body, and General Tuli knew that he could not fall in love with war, so he retreated while fighting, while trying to flee in the direction of Erdun.
Although Erdun did not have the upper hand, Tuli's wounded and Qinggeltai's hasty escape just now had already made Tuli's soldiers disheartened. They knew that if they persevered, they would be dead, so they also fled while fighting, so the number of soldiers who were assassinated suddenly increased.
Seeing that the situation in front of him was not good, General Tuli hurriedly made an illusory move, slashed at Er'er's head, and when he brought it to Erdun and wanted to avoid it, he was still hit by Tuli's right shoulder, so he had to put down Changge and cover his shoulder. When the other soldiers saw that Erdun was wounded, they seemed to wake up all of a sudden, and hurriedly followed behind General Tuli, and fled to the front without a life.
It's just that they don't know, what awaits them is joy or sorrow?
As they gradually ran deeper into the path, they found that there was not much wide space in front of them, and there was a sparse forest in the middle. Although the trees between the trees were far apart, it still made them feel lost. And just now Qinggeltai was not far in front, and in this short period of time, Qinggeltai and some of his entourage suddenly disappeared and lost their trace.
Seeing a wounded war horse and a soldier in the woods, General Tuli hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
"Are you following the people who followed the Great Khan just now?"
Because there were many soldiers, General Tuli was not recognized by everyone, so he asked.
"Yes."
The soldier nodded, his arm badly wounded, and he saw that his shoulder had been pulled down, apparently broken.
"Did you see the Great Khan?"
The soldier shook his head.
"When we walked into this wood, it seemed that we had been ambushed, and there were many pit traps dug underground, and I wonder if they were taken away by some people who suddenly appeared."
"Some people who popped out of nowhere took them away? Do you see what they're wearing? ”
General Tuli knew that there was a big difference between their soldiers and horses and General Baoli's soldiers and horses, both in terms of clothing and weaponry, so they were easy to identify in appearance.
"They are not dressed by our soldiers, but they are not worn by the Kemur tribesmen."
The soldiers seem to have completely denied that those people are from both camps.
"That's strange, it stands to reason that there should be an ambush of General Baoli's soldiers and horses here, but it doesn't look like they are. Anyway, if we still sweat profusely, we still have a chance. ”
After speaking, General Tuli looked at the soldiers in front of him.
"Can you still go? That arm is a fee, isn't it? ”
The soldier nodded, his face was no longer bloody, and the pain had left him with little strength to speak.
General Tuli took the horse in his hand, circled around him, and then motioned to the other soldiers around him.
"Carry him to the horse."
One of the soldiers on the side hesitated, because now one more person was an additional burden. They don't know if they'll be able to escape.
"If you hear it, hurry up and carry him to the horse, he's not dead yet!"
The indifference of the soldiers had already made Tu Li's tone angry, and it seemed that he couldn't bear it anymore.
"Yes, just do it, do it." One of the soldiers finally dismounted and helped the wounded soldier to his horse, but he fell on his horse and fainted.
"That's fine, he can't stop the pain along the way, listen to me, we have to go through this forest quickly, and after this forest passes, we will soon be able to meet with the Kur commander, you know?"
"Got it!"
I heard that there was Kur's battalion of soldiers and horses in front of him, and those soldiers were already exhausted, but at this time, they seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and their morale was suddenly boosted.
They followed General Tuli and ran along the rugged path in the direction of Kuhl.
Just as they were rushing, they saw a sudden flurry of arrows above their heads.
"Ahh
"Ahh
After a wail, he saw a soldier fall off his horse. General Tuli didn't care about the left and right at all, just put his body on the back of his horse and ran forward desperately.
When he felt that there was finally no sound above his head, and that he had completely shaken off the encirclement of archery, he looked back to see that only his own war horse and another war horse carrying the wounded man were left by his side. He rolled over and dismounted, and tied the two horses together.
As far as he could see, thick snow covered the ground, he couldn't help but sigh deeply.
