Shun Yin stood on the sharp stone slope, his mind gathered little by little, and it was not until this moment that he understood Ling Hu Tuo's words.

He didn't come here to listen to the Governor's Mansion's empty words, it was because of the crime, and that's why the Governor's Office let him use his troops.

Holding the banner of rebellion, he deliberately delayed the momentum, all in order to win over other states to join, so as to eradicate the powerful Mu Changzhou in one fell swoop, but he was not for the governor's office, but to avenge the county government.

No wonder he was attracted out, because revenge made him have the heart to slash Mu Changzhou, and he did not hesitate to take risks to chase him out when he saw the opportunity.

It's just that when he approached, he noticed it in time, and finally retreated to the opposite fork valley.

But how could Mu Changzhou ...... Killing his father and brother?

Shunyin repeated those four words in her heart, but she still couldn't believe it.

"Madame, do you want to go back to the camp and wait?" An archer asked at the bottom of the slope.

Shunyin was pulled back to his senses, calmed down and thought quickly, and walked quickly down the slope: "No, don't go back." Immediately divided a few people to keep an eye on the disorganized Ganzhou soldiers and horses. ”

Descending the slope, she grabbed the reins and got on her horse, and said solemnly, "Anything you heard in the neighborhood before must be treated as if you didn't hear it." ”

Immediately the crowd bowed their heads and said yes.

A few fast horses ran through the valley, and on the flaming torches, the last bit of oil was almost exhausted, and the light was faint, and a few people could only wade into the darkness.

Linghu Tuo took the lead in front of the horse, and did not stop for a moment.

The Ganzhou soldiers in the rear followed and asked: "Governor, do you want to ask Suzhou for help?" The governor's office said that he could ask Liu Qiantai, the governor of Suzhou, to help! ”

Linghu Tuo galloped with the horse until he was panting, and replied unhappily: "No." "Bring Liu Qiantai here, success is Liu Qiantai's, and if the soldiers and horses are defeated, they will be taken over by Liu Qiantai, and the governor's mansion is not good.

He glanced left and right, did not panic, and quickly ordered: "The whole department is in order, it has been decided before departure, and we will rush to the western front to rendezvous." ”

The soldiers hurriedly rushed out first, and went to the direction to communicate when they came and went.

Linghu Tuo also turned around and rushed to the west, while checking the movement behind him, the mountains were undulating, and the ink shadows were deep, and he couldn't see anything, and it seemed that Mu Changzhou hadn't caught up.

He had a strange feeling, and he always felt that Mu Changzhou was not surprised by his appearance now, as if he had expected such a day......

There was a slight neighing of horses, and for nearly half an hour, the soldiers who rushed to deliver the news hurried back and brought back the news: "Governor, the soldiers and horses are beginning to regroup, please retreat west!" ”

Linghu Tuo immediately drew his horse and drove quickly through the narrow valley.

Sure enough, not far to the west, the torches were bright, and a group of soldiers and horses had come to meet them, about a hundred people.

This is a response he had set before he set off, Mu Changzhou was deep in thought, and he had to guard against it.

As soon as the men and horses met, they immediately closed in a column and continued to retreat to the western front......

Between the mountains in the distance, the place where the Liangzhou soldiers and horses raided and disrupted the Ganzhou soldiers and horses before, at this time, the soldiers and horses wandered away, and they were still endless.

Originally, the voices were mixed and the horses' hooves were chaotic, but gradually they began to return to order, and the sound of horses' hooves went in one direction at the same time.

A Liangzhou soldier galloped to the bottom of the Jianshi slope and reported to Shunyin: "The soldiers and horses of Ganzhou are retreating to the west. ”

Shun Yin knew that Linghu Tuo dared to chase out because he was prepared for a back road, and the scattered soldiers and horses could still be quickly regrouped, and looked at the direction in which Mu Changzhou chased out, I am afraid that he would have already dealt with it, so he would say that he would act according to the plan.

She clung to the reins, thought about the terrain around her very quickly, turned her head to the north, grabbed the belly of the horse, and headed there......

The mountain road is winding, and the fast horse gallops for a few miles and then approaches the western line, but it seems to have walked dozens of miles.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and Ling Hu Tuo immediately stopped, already out of breath.

The soldiers and horses in the rear stopped and drew their swords to defend themselves.

A fast horse came from the direction of the western front, and immediately the soldiers cautiously called: "Dudu." ”

It was his own person, but Ling Hu Tuo felt that the sound of the horse's hooves did not come from him, and gasped and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The soldiers panicked: "I am afraid that the western front will not be able to retreat, there are traces of soldiers and horses in the direction of Ganzhou, and they are pushing in the direction of Liangzhou!" ”

Ling Hu Tuo immediately understood that the Liangzhou defenders must have been transferred from the two military horse farms captured by Mu Changzhou, and they planned to cut off his retreat.

The soldiers and horses around him didn't have time to panic, but they were strangely quiet for a moment.

Linghu Tuo said vigilantly: "Withdraw according to the original route first!" ”

A troop of soldiers and horses rushed from the mountains on the west side, and the sound of hooves was eager, which seemed to come from the direction of their own retreat, but suddenly rushed straight towards them.

The hundred soldiers and horses who followed were suddenly dragged back, only to find that it was the Liangzhou soldiers and horses who came.

In an instant, the soldiers collided, the torches fell to the ground, and they were trampled out by the hurried horses' hooves.

Linghu Tuto drew his knife, glanced left and right, and did not forget to command: "Close the front and retreat in order!" ”

The rear retreated first, he turned around and beat his horse and continued to the west, taking the lead in rushing out of the Liangzhou soldiers and horses to encircle.

About thirty or forty men rushed out after him, and stepped onto the bottom of a narrow and uneven valley, where there was no light of torches around, and they could only march in complete darkness.

Suddenly, a line of fire snaked out of the mountains on both sides, and the flames of torches gradually lit up.

A sharp sound of horses' hooves chased after him on the oblique side behind, and Hu Xiao'er's loud voice was close at hand: "Finally let Lao Tzu catch up!" ”

Ling Hu Tuo only glanced back and quickly moved forward, only to know that the sound of horses' hooves he heard earlier was from them, and he glanced at both sides, and the soldiers and horses from Liangzhou who had raided his soldiers and horses before.

The side light was even brighter, and the Liangzhou soldiers and horses were chasing, and the torches increased sharply, as if to illuminate everything in the vicinity.

A black and bright tall horse Huo Ran came from behind, as fast as lightning, straight up the right side of the high slope, suddenly stopped, almost obliquely on the top, the person on the horse held the bow in his hand, instantly full.

Linghu Tuo glanced at it, only to see the cold and upright figure sitting firmly on the horse, he was shocked, and hurriedly pulled the horse to avoid it.

An arrow broke through the air, and the horses of the soldiers behind them neighed in pain, crashed into both sides, and the forward formation suddenly dispersed.

Linghu Tuo narrowly avoided the danger, made a decision in an instant, pulled the horse and turned, and took the lead to the north.

Although most of the scattered troops have been reorganized on the western front, it is difficult to rendezvous, and there is Liangzhou to intercept the defenders in the east, and the rear has been caught up, so they can only go north.

Mu Changzhou retracted his bow, jumped down the slope on his horse, and immediately ran.

Hu Xiao'er followed, chased after this moment, panting, and snorted angrily: "This kid is really difficult to catch, fortunately, the military secretary has already had a backhand!" ”

Mu Changzhou didn't say a word, shook the reins, and rushed to the front......

The night was thick and dark, but the wind stopped, just as the night was over.

Linghu Tuo's horse neighed and became tired, but the scattered mountains seemed to be endless.

The soldiers and horses of Ganzhou, who were still following, were always paying attention to the movements, and they were very vigilant.

A column of soldiers and horses came from afar, and the direction was from the south.

A Ganzhou soldier and horse in the back went over to inspect it, and immediately fled back again: "Dudu, it's Liangzhou soldiers and horses again!" ”

Linghu Tuo slapped his horse hard: "Continue north." ”

Night battles don't last long. He was lured out by Mu Changzhou and then turned back, with the intention of leading him to pursue him, to attract him to most of the reorganization of the Western Front.

But Mu Changzhou had already been prepared to attract him, and now he was constantly sending Liangzhou soldiers and horses to harass and drag him in response to the situation, and it was difficult to understand the enemy and me at night, so he wanted to use suspicious tactics to drain his energy in this mountain range.

Ahead to the north side, you can go out of this mountain range.

Linghu Tuo didn't let the soldiers open the way, and he took the lead in rushing over to take the risk.

A group of horseback soldiers poured out in front, holding three or two torches, all of them wearing Ganzhou cavalry uniforms.

The soldiers who followed in the rear were just about to rejoice, but Ling Hu Tuo hurriedly stopped his horse.

This is not to answer them, it is still the suspicious soldiers arranged by Liangzhou, probably because they snatched a few clothes from them during the raid, only a few people in front wore camouflage, and the back were still Liangzhou soldiers and horses.

Linghu Tuo squinted his eyes and looked behind the shadows of the rocks and trees behind them, where a line of soldiers and archers were parked, guarding the figure of a woman wearing a cloak on a horse behind them.

"Madame has rushed here, it seems that she will definitely help the thief to the end, and she will drag me for him here."

Shun Yin sat on the horse and did not move, took off his hood, separated by layers of people and horses, and could only barely see his expression by the light of the fire: "This is the boundary of Liangzhou, he knows the terrain very well, and the soldiers and horses are far better than you, and the only place to the north that can still allow you to successfully retreat, he has already made arrangements." It is hoped that the governor can unload his troops and surrender as soon as possible to settle the matter. ”

"Surrender?" Ling Hu Tuo repeated, and said coldly, "Only Mu Changzhou can do this kind of thing." ”

Shun Yin was stunned, and then calmed down: "Since the governor is the old department of Hexi, the old general promoted by the county prince, he should not have gone to such a point with him." ”

Linghu Tuo said: "Not all, Mrs. should have heard of it, I Linghu clan was originally a wealthy family in Hexi, and I have been friends with the Mu family from generation to generation, and the county duchess is from my Linghu family." When he was young, he was indeed a gentleman, but all these years, ......" he sneered, clenched his knife, and swept his eyes over the soldiers and horses blocking the way, "Madame is really not worth it for him, I can only offend." ”

Shunyin frowned: "Then my delay can only go so far." ”

As soon as she pulled the reins, she stepped back, and the soldiers in front of her immediately rushed forward.

Linghu Tuo reacted very quickly, and when he looked back, sure enough, the fire was surging, and the soldiers and horses were coming.

Mu Changzhou took the lead, the thin scale armor on his body reflected the faint firelight, the bow was on his arm, and the other hand drew the knife, but his eyes swept to Shun Yin on the slope first, and his eyebrows sank: "All backwards!" ”

The archers and soldiers immediately escorted Shunyin and continued to retreat, retreating into the depths of the night.

Linghu Tuo stabbed the horse lance with a sword, retreated to the side of the rock, and sneered in his mouth: "Seeing your wife here, panicked?" Over the years, you have sat in the position of this military secretary with dirty means, eradicated dissidents in Hexi, and you don't know how much blood you have on your hands, and now that your greatest evil deeds have been exposed, you have to cover her ears as you did at the banquet! ”

Mu Changzhou reined in his horse, looked at him coldly, and calmly ordered: "Flank attack on both sides." ”

Hu Xiao'er stared at the round eyes, looked at Ling Hu Tuo in front of him in shock and anger, and looked at him again, did not dare to say more, and immediately led people to rush to the left and right, entangled Ling Hu Tuo's remaining people.

Linghu Tuo waved back the soldiers on the left and right, and quickly whispered a few words, signaling that they didn't have to follow anymore, but retreated with the battle, and suddenly clamped the horse's belly heavily, and rushed to the opposite hillside, facing the direction of Shunyin.

Mu Changzhou immediately chased after him.

Shun Yin was only stunned for a moment, and then calmly stepped back, with archers and soldiers in front of him, making Hu Tuo unable to get close at all.

He didn't intend to get close, but just a false move, as soon as the horse's hooves approached the night, he immediately pulled the horse around, and the knife was swung out.

Mu Changzhou is good at archery and doesn't often use knives, he deliberately suddenly approached to attack.

There was a sonorous knife strike, but Mu Changzhou had already caught up with a knife, and he approached with his blade, almost scraping out a spark.

Linghu Tuohu's mouth was numb, and he said with a gloomy face: "I can't imagine that you, a beast who doesn't even care about the grace of nurturing, will take care of your wife." ”

Mu Changzhou turned his hand and pointed the knife at him: "It has nothing to do with you." ”

Ling Hu Tuo flipped his wrist suddenly, and the horse under him retreated, took him away from the blade, and retreated back to the mountain stone, took out the piece of silk cloth from his bosom with one hand, and said angrily: "I just can't see her being deceived by you again and again!" This 'personally mentioned the head of his adoptive father and brother', every word is there, can you still deny it?! ”

Shun Yin stared at it intently, as if he was frozen for a moment.

His sentence of killing his father and brother was accusing the county prince and his own three sons of being killed by Mu Changzhou......

The fire has been extinguished a lot, it was Hu Xiaoer who led people to entangle the Ganzhou soldiers and horses and retreated to the rear, and the Liangzhou soldiers in the vicinity surrounded the left and right, and they were about to rush forward at any time, but they did not dare to rush forward.

She turned her head and saw Mu Changzhou clenching the knife in one hand, moving his lips, and giving an order in a low voice: "Catch it alive." ”

Before the sound fell, the horse had galloped away.

In an instant, the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou followed and surrounded them.

In the distance, the scattered sound of soldiers and horses can be faintly heard in the direction of the western front, probably the Ganzhou soldiers and horses sent by the deputy general on the opposite side to investigate, and most of the reorganized troops may still be waiting for orders at any time.
