Chapter 489: Sit and Wait to Die
Under the escort of more than 30 samurai led by the head of the guards of Wen Mengyuan in Hu'an Palace, Tho Manzi, Yu Mengyu, Ruyan, Pu Xuemei, Xiang Yuehong, etc., began to transfer.
That night, Meng Mengyu had a slight cough and a little low-grade fever, it is estimated that he had been swimming in Mengchong Pond for a long time, and he was in an extremely bad mood and had a cold.
At noon on the third day, there were still several miles of land, and they were about to get out of the Ten Thousand Winds Forest Sea, so the Tho Barbarian ordered a pause, so that he could take advantage of the forest sea to conceal and let the two warriors disguise themselves to go to reconnoiter where there were Chu troops and how many Chu troops were on the several intersections that must be passed to Lantian Lake.
Half a day passed, and it was already evening, and the scouts came back and reported that there were still Chu troops at several intersections, but the inventory was obviously not as strict as in the direction of Wanfengkou.
Tho Mangzi thought to himself, what Longsheng General Mu Mangzi said, "do the opposite", was really a good plan, and ordered him to rest for a night, eat and drink to his heart's content, and take advantage of the dawn to cross a crossing from Linhai to Lantian Lake.
In the second half of the night, the personnel on duty suddenly came to report that "the Chu army was found nearby", and the barbarians did not dare to hesitate and ordered to act in advance.
Before they got out of the forest sea, a Chu army came to kill.
It turned out that this Chu army was ordered by the commander Qu Rong to come out again to hunt down the Chu general Xiang Hun of Baguo Longwu and Gu Menglong. Xiang Hun thought that even if the Menglong was not burned to death in Lin Yunguan, it would be difficult to be caught in the short term, and he must continue to hide in the Wanfeng Linhai, so he took this Chu army to grind Yang Gong at the edge of the Linhai.
Last night, the Chu army, who was in charge of reconnaissance, reported to Xiang Hun that he found a Pakistani warrior and several women. Through analysis, Xiang Hun believes that it is unlikely that this Ba people are the son of Hu'an Mountain, because according to previous information, there is only one woman with Hu Menglong, but there is more than one woman in this Ba people. However, since there is a samurai escort, it must not be an ordinary woman, most likely from the Hu'an Palace.
At the same time, Xiang Hun believed that if he rashly launched an attack, this Ba people would enter the depths of the forest sea again, and it was better to wait for them to leave the forest sea before launching an arrest operation, so he began to deploy before dawn.
Suddenly discovering the Chu army, Tho Manzi thought that he had to make a decision immediately, and ordered five warriors to open the way, leading Mengyu, Ruyan, Pu Xuemei, and Xiang Yuehong to run first, and the rest of the warriors to break behind.
Tho Manzi acted in advance, and Xiang Hun had no choice but to act.
After a battle, almost all the warriors of the Pakistani country were killed.
Chu general Xiang Hun has determined that there is no number one target of his own in this Ba people-Hu Menglong, the son of Hu'an Mountain, plus Hu Mengyu, Ruyan and others have run away, Xiang Hun ordered to give up the pursuit, and sent someone to report to the boss Qu Rong that he had exterminated "hundreds" of Ba warriors to invite merit.
It wasn't until the afternoon that the Tho barbarians and five samurai caught up. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people following her, Pu Xuemei's mood became heavier.
Tho Manzi and the others, although the direction was clear, did not dare to take the main road and cross the thatched road in the jungle.
After two days of stop-and-go, I got closer and closer to the mouth of the dam of the two rivers.
Tho Manzi knew that there was an army of Zhaoyun, a famous general of the Chu State, at the mouth of the Lianghe Dam, which had to be stolen, so he changed the route of travel, that is, from the Wanfeng Forest Sea to the small road several miles above the mouth of the Lianghe Dam. This trail is only taken by hunters, and there are few people in normal times, and it is much more difficult to walk compared to the main road, but the actual distance is closer.
After resting for a night, it was a sunny day, and from morning to noon, the Ba people trekked fourteen or fifteen miles on the thatched road, and saw a good pine forest.
Under the sun, it was a wild thing road, and the dream, such as smoke, Pu Xuemei, and Xiang Yuehong were exhausted, and fell under the pine bushes panting.
The four women were sleeping, only to hear someone shouting while running: "The Chu army is here!"
The four women woke up suddenly, picked up their bags and ran, and within three miles, hundreds of people from the Chu army surrounded them before and after.
This Chu army is none other than the Chu general Zhaoyun and a small army accompanying him.
It turned out that the Pakistani army in Hu'an Mountain had collapsed, the major event had been decided, and the Hu'an Palace was burned to ashes, and the Chu army commander Qu Rong and deputy marshal Zhuang Fu agreed that it was unnecessary and inappropriate for the army to stay for a long time on Hu'an Mountain, so in addition to the Chu army that stayed at the important pass, the army had been withdrawn to the Longxikou wharf in Danfushui at this time.
The night before yesterday, Qu Rong received an urgent military report: Before attacking Hu'an Mountain, the Chu army sent in the direction of Yelang did not intend to attack Yelang, but to contain Yelang so that he did not dare to send troops to support the Danfu Shuiba people. Therefore, this Chu army of nearly 10,000 people stopped when it reached the border between Yelang and Pakistan, and did not take the initiative to enter Yelang's territory.
The people of Chu didn't expect that the people of Yelang didn't think so, they thought that the army of Bachu was fighting in Danfushui, and it was a good opportunity to take revenge on the people of Chu, especially to avenge the son Donan, who was killed by the people of Chu before.
Yelang State concentrated 30,000 troops and launched a provocation against the Chu army on the border of Pakistan and Ye.
Because the last time the Chu general Zhaoyun only had 2,000 people, he beat the Yelang people to the bottom of the blood, and the generals of the Chu army mistakenly thought that the Yelang people were a rabble and were vulnerable, and ordered to meet the Yelang army, but they were defeated in a battle, and the Yelang people took the opportunity to enter the territory of Ba (to be precise, it can also be regarded as the territory of Chu at this time).
Qu Rong, the commander of the Chu army, and Zhuang Fu, the deputy marshal, did not expect this to happen, but judged that the Yelang people just wanted to take the opportunity to gain some benefits, and the two commanders discussed and decided to quickly order the famous general Zhao Yun, who was feared by the Yelang people, to go to the Yeba border to replace the original Chu army commander who contained the Yelang army, in order to stabilize the situation, and it was best to give the Yelang people a little more color.
Chu General Zhaoyun received the order, and the Chu general sent by the commander Qu Rong to take over the two rivers dam mouth briefly made a handover, led two hundred people to accompany him, and immediately set off to Longxikou.
Previously, Zhao Yun arrived at the mouth of the Lianghe dam and ordered the Chu army not to harass the local Ba people, especially the old, women, and children who had no time to escape, and personally visited the poor and asked the poor, and listened to the local old people say that from the mouth of the Lianghe dam to the mouth of Wanfengkou, in addition to the main road, there is another small road, which can save an hour and a half. Today, Zhao Yun felt that the military situation was urgent, so he led the people to take a small road.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun's unintentional decision happened to meet the oncoming Barbarian from this road.
Zhao Yun was hurrying away, and heard the outpost report that there were several Pakistani warriors and a few women, and ordered to surround quietly, but not to attack, and try not to hurt the women.
When the Ba people found that they were surrounded, the Barbarian ordered three samurai to go in front of him and cut a bloody path, and the four women only ran behind, and the other three samurai broke off, and as long as they ran out of the encirclement, no matter what happened to the samurai, the women did not stop.
After giving the order, the barbarian led three warriors and shouted to kill the front.
Due to the large number of Chu soldiers, the four barbarians could not be killed, and the three warriors after the break rushed up to help, and finally opened a bloody road.
The warriors such as the barbarians rushed out of the siege.
Tho Manzi never expected that Yu Mengyu followed behind, running desperately for two or three hundred steps, feeling that his heart was about to jump out, and said to Pu Xuemei: "I'm tired! I can't run! I'll die! You guys run!" stopped as he spoke.
Pu Xuemei, Ruyan, and Xiang Yuehong were also out of breath, and they also stopped when they heard what Meng Yu said.
At this moment, the Chu army separated the Ba warriors in front from the four women in the back.
Seeing that several of the Barbarians had already been killed, some of the Chu army chased after them, and some of the Chu troops blocked the way of Yu Mengyu, Ruyan, Pu Xuemei, and Xiang Yuehong—under the command of Zhao Yun, the actions of this Chu army were quite coordinated.
Seeing that the way was blocked, Xiang Yueyu, Ruyan, Pu Xuemei, and Xiang Yuehong took more than a hundred steps back, and found that there were also Chu troops behind, knowing that they couldn't run away, they simply sat under a few pine trees, huddled together and waited for death.
Strangely, the Chu army surrounded the four Pakistani women and did not immediately make a move.
Dream talk, Ruyan, Pu Xuemei, and Xiang Yuehong are so tired that it is difficult to think about what the people of Chu want to do.
