Chapter 350: The Sheep in the Sheepfold

In the midst of everyone's expectations, the gate of Sizhou County was slowly closed.

But not a single man escaped from the gates.

In this regard, the hearts of Jing Zizheng and others outside the city were also completely suspended.

"This city gate is closed, does it mean that An Jun and they have been arrested?"

Qi Chao immediately asked anxiously.

"Not necessarily, I just said that the closing of the city gate on the other side may not be because they have seen through An Jun's identity."

Hai Yin saw that Qi Chao and everyone were a little anxious, so he opened his mouth and said with relief.

"Even if they close the city gate and don't see through An Jun and them, this also increases the risk of An Jun and them being exposed, and if it is not for An Jun and them to be exposed, it means that there are other Dayu people in the city who are targeted by them."

Keiko was frowning and worried.

"So what are we waiting for! We have to find a way to get An Jun and them out! ”

As soon as Qi Chao heard that Ansu and they might be exposed, he immediately said anxiously.

"Qi Dynasty, don't worry, there are tens of thousands of grassland troops in the city now, and it is impossible for a few of us to rescue people in their hands."

Keiko said with some embarrassment.

"Didn't Li Yi rush into the base camp of the grassland army of more than 100,000 people with a few hundred people before, and they also successfully turned the grassland camp upside down?"

Qi Chao said with some disbelief.

"The current situation is fundamentally different, the reason why Li Yi was able to turn the Chinese army camp of the grassland army upside down with only a few hundred people was completely unexpected, but now that the grassland army in Sizhou County is different, they will definitely not take it as lightly as before."

Jing Zizheng also knew that the relationship between Qi Chao and Ansu was very close, so he understood Qi Chao's anxious mood at this time.

That's why he carefully analyzed the stakes for Qi Chao.

"And Sizhou County is completely different from the previous grassland army, as long as there is a war horse in Pingchuan, you can gallop freely, but Sizhou County is different, even if you have a war horse, there are not many routes to escape."

Keiko continued to analyze him.

"So what do we do now? Can we only wait outside now? ”

Qi Chao actually knew that the probability of their success in going to Sizhou County to rescue Ansu was basically zero, but he really had no way to watch Ansu and the others in danger and ignore it.

"We can only wait and see what happens!"

Keiko thought for a moment, but gave an answer that didn't count as an answer.

Just as Jing Zi was discussing how to relieve An Su and the others from the siege, Huang Budo and Guo Li watched on the streets of the city as the gate close at hand was slowly closed by the grassland soldiers.

But they were never able to make the war horse go any faster, so a sense of despair rose in the hearts of the two of them at this time.

"Turn now!"

Just when the two war horses were about to hit the grassland soldiers guarding the city gate, Huang Budo pulled the reins of the horse, and the war horse under his crotch immediately stood up.

Immediately, he flicked the reins of his horse, and the whole horse turned in one direction.

After the front hooves of the war horse landed, the war horse immediately headed towards the west of Sizhou County.

And Guo Li also turned his horse's head and galloped west almost at the same time.

But the steppe cavalry chasing after them didn't react for a while, so they directly collided with the steppe soldiers guarding the city in front of them because they didn't slow down in time.

Many people were directly hit by the galloping war horses because they were not in a hurry to dodge, and they vomited blood, broken bones, and broken tendons.

Therefore, the distance between Huang Budo and Guo Li, who was getting closer and closer, was suddenly shortened.

"Blow the trumpet and tell them that these two damn rabbits are fleeing westward."

A steppe soldier struggled to pull his crushed calf from under the fallen horse, and then shouted angrily at the other steppe soldiers.

The steppe soldiers did not dare to slack off, so they immediately blew the horn on their waists.

The melodious sound of the bull's horn immediately floated all the way from the south gate of Sizhou County to all directions.

Soon all the steppe cavalry in the distance heard the horn.

So they immediately dispersed and began to encircle them to the west.

It's just that what they didn't know was that just after Huang Budo and Guo Li got rid of these chasing grassland cavalry, they immediately jumped off their horses.

And then a few lashes at the butt of the war horse.

Therefore, the two horses immediately tore with a long sigh and galloped towards the west.

The two of them immediately slipped into an alley with their weapons on their backs.

"Now it's troublesome! It looks like we're trapped in this Sizhou county. ”

The thrilling chase just now made Guo Li unable to calm down until now, so he was still a little out of breath when he spoke.

"Don't be too pessimistic, there are tens of thousands of houses in this Sizhou county, as long as we are not unlucky, we can still hide for a while."

Huang Budo observed the surrounding houses as he walked.

After walking some distance, he found a small courtyard.

The gate of the compound had been violently kicked open, and all sorts of things were scattered on the ground.

At a glance, you can see that this courtyard must have been looted by those steppe soldiers before.

Huang Budo observed it for a while and immediately walked in.

"Even if we can hide for a while, it's useless, I heard that this grassland army has more than 20,000 people, even if there are tens of thousands of houses in the city, they will find us quickly."

Guo Li also followed Huang Budo into the courtyard.

"And how long do you think they'll have to find us?"

Huang Budo stepped on the scattered clothes on the ground and walked into a side room.

"Who can say for sure! Maybe they'll be lucky enough to find us right away! ”

Guo Li said with a worried face.

"Come on, I'm not sure what the luck of those steppe barbarians is, but I'm convinced that my luck is not too bad."

As soon as Huang Budo walked into this room, he saw a carved bed by the window.

So he didn't hesitate to put down the burden on his body, and then lay down all at once.

"Some believe in luck, you might as well think about how we can find a way to escape."

Although Guo Li seemed to be very anxious when he said it, he also threw the things on his body to the ground like Huang Budo, and then dragged a chair and sat down.

"What can you do? Now that these steppe barbarians have sealed the city gates, it is not so easy for us to get out of the city, rather than risk sneaking out of the city, it is better for us to wait for these steppe barbarians to open the city gates themselves. ”

In fact, Huang Budo was also worried about his comfort just now.

But just when they were surrounded by the steppe cavalry, he suddenly realized a problem.

This question is what the current steppe army is aiming for this operation.

According to Huang Budo's speculation, the real target of the grassland army this time should be Jinling City in Xinzhou.

For this reason, he also discussed this issue with the king of Huainan, who also gave the same speculation.

But the current grassland army is stationed in this Sizhou county town, which makes Huang Budo very puzzled.

According to reason, this Sizhou county town is an empty city, and even if there are a lot of treasures in it, it is not enough to satisfy the appetite of the grassland people.

Therefore, the only possibility that the grassland army is stationed in the county town of Sizhou is that they plan to repair here and then launch an attack on Xinzhou.

In this case, in order to reduce the difficulty of attacking Jinling City next, these grassland armies will definitely raid Jinling City immediately after a short rest.

Otherwise, once they drag on for too long in Sizhou County, Jinling City will have defense, and they will have to pay a great price if they want to capture Jinling City.

It is even possible that they will collapse and sink under the city of Jinling.

After thinking about this, Huang Budo didn't seem to be so anxious.

As long as they can guarantee that they will not be captured by these steppe people within a few days, presumably the steppe army will not change their plan to attack Jinling City in order to capture the two of them.

"Do you want to close the door outside this courtyard?"

Guo Li, who was sitting on the chair, looked at the courtyard gate and was a little worried.

"Don't! Don't turn it off! ”

Huang Budo, who was lying on the bed, immediately sat up and stopped him.

And Guo Lijing immediately understood Huang Budo's thoughts as soon as he reminded him.

Because this area has been ransacked by the steppe army, it is relatively safe for them to hide here.

After all, according to people's habitual thinking, under normal circumstances, people are unlikely to choose too obvious places to hide.

And these places that have been looted by the steppe tribes are relatively obvious places.

Now Huang Budo does not allow the door of the courtyard to be closed, which is obvious among those who can be strengthened.

Even if it happened that the grassland tribe tracked down here, they would not enter the courtyard when they saw that the courtyard with the middle gate wide open had been scattered all over the ground.

"Even if those steppe barbarians can't find us for the time being, how long will we wait?"

After making sure that his people would not encounter any danger for the time being, Guo Li finally seemed a little more relaxed.

But he was still worried about when he and Huang Budo would be able to escape from the city.

"Don't worry, you won't have to wait too long."

Huang Budo smiled and then told his guess.

After listening to Huang Budo's speculation, Guo Li also thought that his analysis was very reasonable.

So he was as completely relieved as Huang Budo.

Unlike Huang Budo and Guo Li, who were completely relieved, the hearts of the three of Ansu were completely suspended at this time.

With the order of Muhua Li Falcon, a large number of grassland cavalry began to step on their war horses, and headed towards the south gate of Sizhou County.

However, the high-level leaders of the grassland that Ansu originally expected would definitely rush to the city gate together, and when Muhua Li Falcon actually left the Xianbei Khan and the Tugu King in this Tan Mansion.

This made An Su and others, who wanted to fish in troubled waters, angry.

But they can't do anything about it.

"Anjun, why don't we run away and make some noise!"

Seeing this, Zhang Zhou whispered.

"By all means, although I don't know who made a disturbance at the gate of the city before, but after they made such a fuss, these grassland barbarians are completely alert, if we want to make some movement at this time, I am afraid that we will be caught by them at the first time."

An Su immediately lowered his voice and stopped.

"But it's not a matter for us to wait here!"

Zhang Zhou said a little dejectedly.

"It's better to be quiet now, we can only wait for the opportunity!"

Ansu still insisted on his own ideas.

Just when the three of Ansu were standing in place and waiting, they suddenly ran from a distance.

The speed of this ride was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he came to the door of the Tan Mansion.

Before the horse could settle down, the knight on horseback jumped down.

"But caught the enemy?"

Wan Qiyue Le saw that this knight was a warrior of the Xianbei clan, and he immediately asked.

"Although we closed the gates of the city in time, the two men were very cunning, and they turned their horses around at the last moment and escaped from our encirclement."

The knight bowed his head and said in a smug voice.

"Rubbish! It's all a bunch of waste, so many people can't catch two big people! ”

When Wan Qi Yuele heard that his own people had failed to catch the enemy, he couldn't help but be furious.

Then he stepped forward and kicked the knight, who was on one knee, and turned him on his back.

"Khan is angry! Although we were unable to catch them for the time being, we did manage to close the gates, and those two are now just sheep in a sheepfold, and sooner or later they will not escape the fate of death. ”

The Xianbei general saw that Wan Qi Yuele wanted to have a knight who stepped forward and continued to kick the news, so he immediately stopped Wan Qi Yuele and persuaded him with kind words.

As soon as Wan Qi Yuele heard the words of the corpse suddenly, he thought about it and felt that what he said was indeed reasonable.

So he retracted his foot in a huff.

"General Corpse is right, since the city gate has been closed, then these Dayu people will be caught by us sooner or later."

At this time, Mu Hua Li Falcon slowly walked to the side of the Xianbei knight who had been kicked down, and then bent down to slowly support him up.

His action immediately moved the Xianbei knight to tears.

He didn't expect the holy shaman to take the initiative to support him, a little knight with no background.

"In order to save time, let all the people out and let them search the area where the two men disappeared, and I want to see the heads of those two people today."

Mu Hua Li Falcon turned his head and looked coldly at Wan Qi Yue Le and Murong Tongwei.

As soon as the two of them saw Mu Hua Li Falcon's eyes, they were immediately shocked, and then the two of them immediately ordered the generals of each family to arrange for people to search.

Seeing this, the three of Ansu had no choice but to follow the grassland people towards the city gate.

"Senior An, aren't we getting farther and farther away from my father now if we follow them?"

Zhang Wenlong said reluctantly as he walked.

"Don't turn back now, we must follow the army now, or it will be too abrupt for us to stay there."

An Su saw that Zhang Wenlong wanted to go back to observe his father, so he immediately pulled Zhang Wenlong to his side.

Stopped him from turning back.
