Section 331 Unexpected Encounters
There was a trace of apprehension in his heart, but at the same time, he was extremely convinced that this trip would be fruitful. www.biquge.info The Tubo people would never have expected that he would lead his troops through this Black Wind Gorge and disturb its rear.
Unless, they are immortals!
However, at this moment, perhaps the gods really appeared. Just in front of everyone, there were bursts of neighing of people and horses, and countless soldiers and horses blocked the canyon. Look at the big qi, it is the style of the Tibetan people.
The night was dark, and even with the stars shining and torches flickering, it was impossible to tell where the other party was coming from.
Pessimism spread among the officers and men of the Right Army, and whispers buzzed. After the previous lessons, these people no longer thought that they could survive under the cruel Tibetan people, and they clenched their weapons one after another, preparing to fight to the death.
Liu Yu frowned, in this moment of crisis, of course he can't cower as a coach. He looked behind him, and his gaze fell on the three hundred light horsemen that Jerushhrus had given him.
Only these 300 people did not have the idea of surrendering to the Tibetans along the way, and they were skilled in riding and shooting, which was the only thing he could rely on at the moment.
As for the more than 100 Central Plains warriors, although they also began to become obedient, the Jianghu people were so casual that it was difficult for them to withstand the onslaught of the well-trained Tubo army.
After thinking for a while, he ordered the three hundred rangers to hold bows in front, nailed the formation, and called the more than 100 Central Plains warriors to his side, ordering them to sweep the formation with him. After all, these people's own martial arts are not bad, and they are still usable as wonder soldiers.
These people, though they still had doubts in their hearts, were no longer as resolute in their disobedience to his commands as before. He left the 3,000-strong army behind him and led the more than 100 Central Plains warriors alone.
Among them, Tianshamen Hu Sanyi took the lead, and he blocked Liu Yu with a knife, which was very brave.
After he rode his horse and trotted a few steps, he quietly leaned into Liu Yu's ear, "Liu Shaoxia, it's a good idea for you to put the ground on the ground, leave these Khitans behind to die, and let's just slip away." You say, which way are we going to run when the war starts in a while?"
If you can't beat it, you can slip away, this is the valuable experience he has saved after being a horse thief for many years. Only stupid people will fight to the death with others.
Liu Yu replied with an iron face: "I'm afraid I won't be able to run away, Mr. Hu keeps the knife in his hand." When the time comes, it is better to kill yourself with a knife than to fall into the hands of the Tibetans. ”
Hu San's face blushed for a while, and he gritted his teeth, "If that's the case, Lao Tzu will kill one to return to his roots, and if he kills two, he will earn it, and fight with them!"
He shook the hilt of the knife in his hand, as if it were really clenched.
The Tibetans in front of them rushed over, while blowing a sharp whistle in their mouths.
This is a custom that only the Khitans have!
After hearing this, Liu Yu couldn't help but be stunned, could it be that these Tubo people were actually pretended to be Khitans? The Khitans who surrendered to Tubo were none other than Mrs. Xiao and her subordinates!
Liu Yu's heart sank, Xiao Heda still calculated him, and preemptively informed his sister of the news of his night attack from the Black Wind Gorge.
If so, then things are really bad. Although Liu Yu erased the idea of surrendering to Tibet in the hearts of these soldiers under his command, he could not erase the prestige of Mrs. Xiao, as a Khitan nobleman, in the hearts of these hesitant soldiers of the Right Army.
Sure enough, the sound of the horse's hooves behind him began to wane, and gradually dissipated into the desperate evening breeze. When he looked back, he saw that his subordinates had lowered their weapons, and only the three hundred rangers were still holding bows and crossbows, but they had not bent their bows and arrows.
Hu San of Tianshamen said in surprise, "I have seen Mrs. Xiao, she is a famous heroine. Even if the Tubo people refuse to take us in, as long as she is willing, we still have a way to live, and we don't have to follow that Yelu Shilu to death, haha!"
Liu Yu was silent, this was by no means the result he wanted, a defeated march made him feel extremely ashamed in his heart.
At this moment, there was no point in any words, so he simply put the waist knife back into its sheath and said to everyone: "Since you have a plan in mind, you might as well wait here for a while. When Liu's head hits the ground, you can do whatever you want!"
Leaving behind him silent, he rode his horse alone to meet the Xiao soldiers who were charging towards him, and when these people saw him, they tacitly dispersed to both sides and outflanked him, surrounding him in the heart. At the same time, someone turned the horse's head and returned to the main formation to report the news.
After a while, the men suddenly parted aside, leaving a path. Under the moonlight, a slender figure in a light helmet rode through these people and came to Liu Yu, "Brother Yu, what a coincidence, how could I meet you here?"
Liu Yu replied in a deep voice: "Sister Xiao, didn't someone report to you and ask you to come and ambush me?"
Mrs. Xiao covered her mouth and smiled, "Yes, General Cang Gyatso did give me a military order to patrol the area of Heifeng Gorge all night, but I didn't expect to meet you." ”
Liu Yu's heart sank, his plan was still expected, that Cang Gyatso was really a very person.
At the same time, what made him a little relieved was that Xiao Heda did not betray him, and this matter had nothing to do with him.
He sighed and dropped the torch in his left hand to the ground, and the flame fluttered in the grass a few times before extinguishing.
He stretched out his hands to Mrs. Xiao, "Sister Xiao, I am here for Yelu Shilu this time, you can kill me." ”
Mrs. Xiao bowed her head and said nothing, her pair of peach eyes aimed at Liu Yu's body, "Brother Xiao, do you think I won't kill you?"
Although Liu Yu pitied her suffering, he was always worried about her defection to the enemy, "Anyway, you can even betray your clansmen, what is it to kill an unknown junior like me?"
Mrs. Xiao laughed miserably, "Yes, what does it matter if I kill one of you." As long as Jerusherus does not die, my heart of revenge will be like the water of the sobbing Dahan River, and it will never stop!"
She raised her hand and shouted, and several soldiers rushed forward to pull Liu Yu off the horse.
At this moment, an angry shout came from not far away, "Mrs. Xiao, if you want to cut my junior brother, then you have to ask me if Zhu Wentong agrees!"
Before the man could finish speaking, he was galloping towards him. Behind him, more than thirty men on horseback followed. They rushed from the direction of Mrs. Xiao's main formation, and wherever they passed, the screams were incessant, and no one could stop them.
Seeing this, Mrs. Xiao's face changed, and she hurriedly ordered the soldiers who flocked to Liu Yu to retreat.
Liu Yu was overjoyed when he saw this, he didn't expect that his senior brother Zhu Wen would disappear tonight, but he had been leading people to protect himself secretly, he shouted: "Senior brother, I'm here!"
Zhu Wen hurriedly rode thirty horses and shouted: "Senior brother, don't be afraid, senior brother has saved you." ”
Under the moonlight, he and more than 30 people under his command formed a line and rushed in.
Mrs. Xiao was shocked in her heart, at this moment, she was far away from her own formation, and it was extremely difficult to take advantage of the opportunity to slip away with the cover of the army. She didn't know that Liu Yu had lost all her martial arts, and she hurriedly ordered all the soldiers to rush up and surround Liu Yu. She herself is out of the house, looking for an opportunity to escape.
She ordered all the soldiers to draw their bows and arrows at Liu Yu, and shouted to Zhu Wen and the others who rushed over: "Zhu Wen, you must not go forward, otherwise it will be disadvantageous to your junior brother!" (To be continued.) )
