"Master, it seems that we are late, and the road ahead is full of traces of a large army rushing by."

A family member said to Hu Yan.

"Where are the traces?"

Hu Yan's eyes narrowed slightly.

"It's three miles ahead."

Jia Ding replied.

"Let's take a look."

Hu Yan opened his mouth and said, riding his horse directly.

After a while, I saw that the road ahead was a mess.

"Master, the order of the Ming Governor came, and everyone immediately went to the front of Xiao Wall to intercept it."

At this time, the family took a piece of news and ran over.

"Xiao Wallkou."

Hu Yan raised his head slightly, and looked far away along the traces of this road, this road was leading to Xiao Wall.

Thinking about it, there were other caravan dart divisions who discovered it first, and the fast horse sent a message to the governor.

"Let's go."

Hu Yan glanced at it slightly and spoke lightly.

"The master has an order, set off at the mouth of the Xiao wall."

The family suddenly shouted.

"Don't go to Xiao Wall, go to Hungry Tiger's Mouth."

Hu Yan said, pointing to the direction to the south.

"But sir, Lord Overseer..."

Jia Ding opened his mouth in shock.

"The Governor must not have seen these traces himself, although this place is messy, but there are few human footprints, people who don't often run merchants can't see it, but regular merchants can find it at a glance."

"This is the trick behind the mountains, hungry tiger's mouth, set off."

Hu Yan said.

"Big brother!"

"Big brother!"

"Never!"

"Even if this is really a trick to cover the eyes of the Ten Thousand Mountains, but the order of the Governor has already come down."

"If you go his way, you will disobey the order, and you can only take the ten thousand mountains, but there are three thousand dart divisions behind the ten thousand mountains, and we only have more than a hundred, even if you guess the right direction, you are definitely not an opponent."

"Why don't you obey the Governor's orders?"

"Even after leaving Wanshan, it has nothing to do with my Hu family."

Hu Yan's brother Hu Bin ran over and said.

"Alas!"

"You think I don't know that?"

"But these days, the conflict between us and the Li family has become more and more serious, Dayue has voted for the Ming Dynasty, and the Li Ji yak power has become stronger and stronger."

"If we can't go off the rails and gamble on a way out, we will be harmed by the Li Ji Yak."

"It's done, my Hu family is spared, it can't be done, it's just that the people present cut off their heads, in that case, why not gamble?"

Hu Yan sighed.

"But big brother..."

Hu Bin has to say again, after all, it is better to die than to live, although now the Hu family is suppressed by the Li family and can hardly raise their heads, the industry has suffered great losses, and it has even been reduced to the point of being recruited as a small chamber of commerce.

But if you continue to breathe, you can always breathe for a few more years.

"Shut up!"

"I've made up my mind, if you don't go, you can run now."

Hu Yan opened his mouth coldly, and walked towards the hungry tiger's mouth with his own forbearance.

Hungry Tiger's Mouth.

It is the other end of the fork in the road that Wan Shan Hou chose before.

This is also the reason why Hu Yan made such a judgment, after all, the Lancang Kingdom is full of mountains and few fields, and the roads are not to mention that they extend in all directions, which can be described as very closed.

There aren't many forks in the road along the way, so if you see through the trick, it's easy to guess.

"Brother Wan, there is the Hungry Tiger's Mouth ahead, after the Hungry Tiger's Mouth enters the territory of Ava, we can rest, right?"

Wang Yi asked after looking at Wan Shanhou.

At this time, his face was pale, his lips were chapped, he was running for a day and a night, not getting a drop of water, and he was fighting continuously, and the spirit of this whole team was about to reach its limit.

If it weren't for everyone's clear knowledge, the surrounding area was surrounded by the Ming merchant dart division team that was constantly encircled and suppressed, and I am afraid that they would have already picked their picks and ran away.

"Well, out of the mouth of the hungry tiger, we are completely out of their encirclement, and from then on, the sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high for the birds to fly."

"Tell everyone, after the hungry tiger's mouth ahead, we will eat and rest on the spot."

Wan Shanhou nodded slightly.

Everyone was running the same overnight, and his state was not much better, and at this time he was also dry-mouthed, in a trance, and his eyes were glazed.

If it weren't for the will to survive and insist on moving forward, I am afraid that I would have passed out directly at this time.

After all, although his physique is stronger than Xiao Han, his strength is limited.

Even in the past, when the caravan delivered goods, Wanshanhou arranged for his henchmen to do it, and he read books at home, where did he suffer this kind of hardship.

If you really want to keep running, other people can persevere, but I'm afraid that he, the leader of the horse, will not be able to persevere.

"The kid riding the horse is the queen of ten thousand mountains!"

Before everyone could get out of the distance excitedly, suddenly, behind the mountain in front of them, there was a low shout, and then a cannonball whistled towards the back of the mountain.

Previously, most of the horses in the team were taken away by lone wolves, and only Wan Shanhou and Zhou Dexing were still riding, and even Wang Yi and Cheng Jian had no choice but to hand over their horses.

Facing the whistling cannonballs, Wan Shanhou instantly felt his blood surge.

But the body of the meal was too late for him to turn the horse, so he could only let go of the reins at once and roll over directly from the horse.

Rumble!

The cannonball fell, and the horse under the crotch before was hit squarely, and the flesh and blood were directly blurred, and the blood splashed on Wan Shanhou's body.

"Rubbish!"

On the top of the mountain, Hu Yan saw that this cannon failed to kill the people on the horse, but attracted another person on horseback to surround him, Hu Yan knew that he had guessed correctly, and under the choice of one of the two, he directly chose Wanshan Hou with a slight difference in size.

Bang!

"Shoot the arrows!"

Hu Yan directly picked up a Daming-style crossbow and shouted.

Whoosh!

Arrows poured directly in the direction behind the ten thousand mountains.

This is also Hu Yan's courage to rely on more than 100 people in the headquarters to intercept Wanshan's capital lock alone.

Each merchant team has twenty Ming crossbows, which can shoot hundreds of arrows in a short time.

The previous team of dart masters, if they were steady and steady, would still have the ability to stop the group behind Wan Shan.

It's just that the proportion of Ming soldiers in the team is not enough to have an average quality, and besides, they can't see their five fingers, and everyone is panicked, so that they don't play their due combat effectiveness at all.

Facing the arrows that roared towards him, Wan Shanhou's already pale face suddenly faded in blood.

Hu Yan didn't want to give him a chance to live at all, so he aimed at the range where Wanshan Hou was, and when he came up, everyone emptied the magazine, not the crossbow arrows.

"Brother Wan!"

Just when Wan Shanhou was almost desperate, Wang Yi on the side suddenly pounced and directly used his size advantage to press Wan Shanhou under him.

Poof!

Poof!

One after another, the crossbow arrows slammed into Wang Yi's body, shooting out streams of blood.

"The king... Brother Wang..."

Wan Shanhou felt the weight of Wang Yu on her body, and her lips trembled.

"Ten thousand... Dude, take everyone... Live, you're here, just... There will be, the opportunity... Help me take care of home..."

Wang Yi said this intermittently, and before he could finish speaking, he lost his breath.

"Tenai's!"

"Shoot Lao Tzu moving! Shoot the arrows! Counterattack! ”

Wan Shanhou clenched his fists and roared.

Whoosh!

Bang bang bang!

Suddenly, the team of Wanshan Houdart Division, who were beaten and overwhelmed, woke up like a dream and began to counterattack.

"Damn it!"

"Let's go, go back and ask the governor for his guilt."

Hu Yan waved his hand angrily and decisively ordered a retreat.

There is no way, there is only one cannon and twenty Ming military crossbows here, and such equipment can't beat 3,000 people in a hundred shots.

It's just sending you to death, and going back to ask for the guilt, that is, being beheaded, not being punished, and living a little longer is counted as a while.

Hu Yan withdrew, and Wan Shanhou and the others briefly counted the team, took the bodies of the dead and continued to advance, and finally entered the territory of Ava.

British Mansion.

"Ming Xiuzhai Road, dark Chen Cang."

"Tut-tut!"

"This merchant actually understands the art of war, although it is clumsy, but it does have some way."

"It's not strange that I can deceive the merchants I sent."

Xiao Han shook his head slightly.

"Actually, I didn't deceive them all, didn't there be a businessman who saw through Wanshanhou's strategy and disobeyed the order to pursue him?"

"Speaking of Fengxue, do you really plan to pull him back to Tianfu and cut him down according to military law?"

Zhu Biao said.

"Military law must be followed, but whether you cut it or not depends on his performance."

"I've seen the news of this person, the descendants of the Hu family of the Yue Kingdom, the rival family of the Li Ji Yak Li family, these days because of our strong co-optation by the Ming Dynasty, they have been suppressed quite miserably."

"Don't hesitate to disobey military orders, but also show it, it seems that you are planning to take risks."

The corners of Xiao Han's mouth were slightly hooked.

"Oh?"

"If you don't cut him, how can you explain it with the Ming military law."

Zhu Biao was amused.

"On the battlefield, adapt to the situation, stop the enemy, and inflict heavy damage on the enemy."

Xiao Han opened his mouth and came.

"What if you cut it?"

Zhu Biao asked again.

"That is to directly disobey the military order, and you should be beheaded according to the law."

"He's like this, it's originally in between, no matter how you judge, he did stop Wanshanhou, but he didn't."

"Stopped, but not completely."

Xiao Han smiled.

"Interesting."

"Under what circumstances is he qualified to live under your hands?"

Zhu Biao asked with a smile.

"Then it depends on his ability, he is not qualified to be a waste of my pawn, but he is not qualified to be lightly dismissed by me."

"Of course, if you, His Royal Highness the Prince, are interested in winning people's hearts, you can come and sing a song to keep people."

Xiao Han spread his hands.

"Haha!"

"You said so, if it's waste, naturally you won't be qualified to be kept by me."

"By the way, in the past few days, we have opened the mutual market with the remnant yuan, Wang Baobao is very cautious, and sternly told the chiefs of each tribe not to sell too much cattle, sheep and horses, and can only come to our Daming to buy just what is needed, you can see how to add a fire to the consumption enthusiasm of these Mengyuan people."

Zhu Biao smiled and spoke.

"Oh, the enthusiasm for consumption will be enough, and the learning is good."

"This is simple, they can be suppressed by Wang Baobao, that is, they have not seen enough to offend Wang Baobao and Emperor Xuanguang to take advantage of."

"We just have to give them some obvious bargains, and they will naturally become impulsive."

Xiao Han said to Zhu Biao.
