Chapter 061: Clever Scheme
It wasn't until he did it himself that Sky Wolf could accurately feel how unfathomable Gu Chen's martial arts were.
Even if Gu Chen was injured, even if he had fought with more than a dozen people before, he was still quick to act and had sharp moves, and he was an opponent that should not be underestimated.
Gu Chen was determined not to let the Heavenly Wolf find Lu Yingquan, so he tried his best to entangle with him, this battle, the two didn't know how long they had been fighting, and the fight on Meng Bo's side had already had a result.
Meng Bo dragged his seriously injured body, shook off those black-clothed dead soldiers, and found Gu Chen, and the two met again, but they saw Sisi's corpse.
The black-clothed dead soldiers who came later didn't get any benefits, and almost everyone was injured, and they stood behind the wolf one after another.
The wolf looked at Gu Chen and Meng Bo in front of him, and then looked at the people behind him, thinking in his heart: The two people in front of him are extremely difficult to deal with, and at this time, Lu Yingquan is nowhere to be found, if he continues to entangle with them, it can only be the end of the fish dying and the net being broken, it is better to take a step back, who can find Lu Yingquan, each with his own ability.
Thinking of this, the heavenly wolf no longer made a move on Gu Chen, and only said, "Let's go!"
Gu Chen didn't chase after him, Meng Bo didn't have the energy to fight anymore, and the two could only watch the group of Sky Wolf leave and disappear into the dense forest.
"Brother Meng, Miss Lu is missing, and Miss Sisi has also ...... I should not stay longer. This is gold sore medicine, there is Brother Lao Meng's body to settle Miss Sisi, wait for me to find Miss Lu, and then come to the door to thank you. Gu Chen took out a bottle of gold sore medicine from his arms, handed it to Meng Bo, and said so.
"Brother Gu, rest assured, Miss Sisi is the prince's own sister, this time I was killed, I was not well protected, I will take Miss Sisi back to Jingguo to ask the prince for guilt. Meng Bo was not polite, took the gold sore medicine, arched his hand and said, and then walked towards Sisi.
He could even imagine how angry Meng Yijie would be. This sister has always been an obsession in Meng Yijie's heart, looking for it for so many years, and was even used by the Empress Dowager Qin and Su Dieyi, and it was not easy for the brother and sister to recognize each other, but in a short period of time, they have been separated by yin and yang.
Gu Chen was also guilty and heartbroken about Sisi's death, but he knew that now was not the time to delay his work, he had lost Lu Yingquan, he had to find it, and he must not let the Heavenly Wolf and them take the lead.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen didn't say anything more, said goodbye, and chased in the direction where the rut mark was far away.
And Lu Yingquan in the carriage had already run out at this time, she looked at the seemingly endless dense forest in front of her, gritted her teeth, and made a decision in her heart.
She stopped the carriage and took out a bag from it, and pulled out some of the mess inside, not even the clothes in it. She only brought some dry food and water, as well as the pills that Yun Yao had left for her, plus some silver tickets and broken silver, sorted them into a small bag, hung it on her shoulder, and then jumped out of the carriage.
Lu Yingquan glanced back at the road when he came, gritted his teeth, and whipped the horse's body, the horse was in pain, spread his hooves and continued to run forward, and disappeared in an instant, leaving only rut marks on the ground, proving that there was indeed a carriage passing by just now.
After driving away the carriage, Lu Yingquan picked the direction with the most dense trees and walked over, which was completely different from the direction in which the carriage left.
This is Lu Yingquan's desperate bet, and now she is left alone by her side, without the slightest care, without Gu Chen's protection, and even the carriage that can shelter from the wind and rain at the end is also used by her to mislead the enemy.
She was pregnant, and she didn't have much food and water on her, and even if she had enough money, there was no place to spend it in this wilderness, so now, she had to rely on herself.
Soon, Lu Yingquan took difficult steps, burrowed into the dense jungle, and disappeared. And the rut marks left by the carriage really led those black-clothed dead soldiers to continue to track forward.
However, it was not only the enemy who was misled, but also Gu Chen.
No matter how smart and cautious Gu Chen is, he is only one person, and he can't find it alone, so he can't look in all directions. He could only race against the Heavenly Wolf, hoping that he could find Lu Yingquan first.
In this way, the wrong body passed by, farther and farther away.
Yun Yao, who was far away in Chicheng, didn't know that such a thrilling thing had happened to Lu Yingquan, and she didn't know about Sisi's death, because she was getting busier and busier - in the past few days, Beidi and Daning had already fought several times, and there were many wounded who needed to be treated every day, and she rarely even saw Gu Qingming's face.
Since Daning's first victory, Beidi has been silent for two days, and it seems that he has studied some new tactics, and then he is calling for battle every day, but he is not fighting properly, and every time he runs away in the middle of the fight, which makes the Daning soldiers a little confused.
After all, the Daning soldiers were defended by Chicheng, and they only needed to go out of the city to meet the enemy every time, but Beidi had to spend a lot of energy to call the battle, and the camp was relatively far away, so doing so would only make them sleepy, and they didn't know what they were trying to do.
Is it just to cut a few Daning soldiers?
In Daning's coach's tent, Gu Qingming had been staring at the topographic map around Chicheng for several days. In the past few days, every time Beidi came to call for battle, Gu Qingming didn't say anything, and General An, as the general of Jingbian, couldn't insult this name, so he ordered to go out of the city to meet the enemy, and fought a few battles, but each time it ended hastily.
"General Gu, what do these Beidi people want to do? Every time they fight and don't fight, they will suffocate us to death!" General Li is a person who can't hold back his words, and after a few times, he has already been provoked.
"They're just waiting for us to hold back. Gu Qingming seemed to have an idea in his heart, pointed to the topographic map in front of him, and said, "You see, the place where the Beidi army camped is here, it can be regarded as easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the most important thing is that the surrounding basins are relatively easy to hide troops. β
"Could it be that they want us to chase us over and ambush us?" General Xu asked.
"Not bad. Gu Qingming said, "General Xu, tonight you take 30,000 soldiers and horses to go up this mountain road, bypass the line of sight of the Beidi camp, enter the rear of their ambush, and wait for the rabbit." General Li, tomorrow you will lead all your troops and horses out of the city to meet the battle, and if they will run away after half of the battle, you will catch up and let the Beidi people think that you have been tricked. Once they were encircled, General Xu could condescend from the rear and attack the Beidi camp with fire. Now that the north wind is blowing, believe in this gift, they will like it. β
"Brilliant plan!" An Huai clapped his hands and said immediately, "In this way, those who fought against General Li will inevitably withdraw their troops back to the camp to help, and they will also relieve the siege of General Li." β
Several people in the tent were very excited, talking and laughing, and the plan had been decided.
That night, according to Gu Qingming's instructions, General Xu led the men and horses around the mountain, everyone was wearing black clothes, even the torches were useless, groping forward, even the horse's hooves were wrapped in thick cotton cloth, and there was no sound when stepping on the ground.
Everything went according to Gu Qingming's plan, and sure enough, the next day, the Beidi people came to call the battle as usual, and General Li took 50,000 soldiers and horses out of the city to meet the enemy.
"Grandma's! These little rabbit cubs, what are you playing with your grandfather? See if your grandfather won't knock you down this time!" General Li, who had always had a rough personality, roared when he saw this, waved his knife, and rushed towards the retreating Beidi people in the first place.
The Beidi people retreated slowly, and they were caught up by the Daning soldiers and cut down a lot.
Tu Wuhan looked at the injured soldiers behind him, and was angry in his heart, but he kept the overall situation in mind, so he had to speed up and lead these people into the encirclement.
On the hill in the rear, a scout under General Xu's tent came to report, saying that General Li had brought people over.
There were earth-shattering roars and fighting sounds from the bottom of the mountain, and the sound of heavy horses' hooves was particularly clear. However, on the mountain, there was silence.
All the soldiers held their breath and waited for General Xu to give the order.
"Phew-" Tu Wuhan suddenly reined in his horse, stopped, and then raised his knife and commanded loudly, "Beidi's warriors, the enemy has been tricked, kill me-"
When the words fell, the Beidi soldiers who were still tired just now suddenly turned around and rushed towards the Daning soldiers, and at the same time, the Beidi people who were ambushed on both sides also appeared, more than twice the number of people brought by General Li.
If Gu Qingming hadn't had an insight into Beidi's plan in advance, then it would have been a tragic war - General Li had fallen into the enemy's ambush circle because of his risk, and in the face of twice the number of enemies, he could only be at a disadvantage of being beaten passively.
However, the people of Beidi could never have imagined that there would be an accident when things that were clearly calculated.
Not long after the sound of the fighting, before both sides could feel the thrill of killing the enemy, they saw thick smoke billowing from the camp behind, the fire was bright, and even the smell of burnt paste wafted along the north wind.
I don't know who in the crowd shouted, "The camp is on fireβ"
Abruptly, he turned his head and looked in the direction of the camp, and could vaguely hear the terrible screams over there, as well as the sound of arrows breaking through the air.
"Oops! There's an enemy attack!" Tu Wuhan was shocked, he knew that if he didn't go back to the camp now, if the enemy captured the camp, then their team would face two enemy attacks.
This place is not far from Akagi, if this is the case, if Akagi sends troops over, then wouldn't his vanguard army be wiped out?
After thinking about it a thousand times, Tu Wuhan gave an order to withdraw his troops back to the camp, not allowing the enemy's plan to succeed.
The Beidi people retreated quickly, and General Li repeated his old tricks and chased after the people and killed many people, but this time, he did not advance again. Because he knew that General Xu only had 30,000 people on his side, and he had a surprise advantage, and if he chased after him again, it might be his team that would be wiped out.
Although General Li has a hot temperament, he has been able to march and fight for so many years, and he is not a stupid person, so he naturally knows what to do and what not to do. At that moment, he stopped moving forward and led his troops back to Akagi.
And General Xu, after causing the riots in the Beidi camp, did not love to fight, and took advantage of the terrain to withdraw his troops and leave, leaving only the messy Beidi camp and the fire that had never been extinguished.
And the place where the fire is most abundant is the grain and grass of Beidi.
