Chapter 195: The Bureau Shows the Situation and Hides the Outside World
When the news of the attack on He Lin came, Ali Buge almost fainted, and when he regained his spirits, he was still puzzled.
He didn't understand, where did the sneak attack on Helin come from, it was unbelievable that so many men and horses appeared inexplicably, and what he was chasing was indeed the main army of Kublai Khan, and he could see it clearly, at least 70,000 people, right
Ali Buge quickly thought of the soldiers who fled in the heavy rain, and he was proud for a while, so he was also careless, and he did not send anyone to keep an eye on the whereabouts of the fleeing soldiers, he couldn't help but guess that the soldiers and horses that suddenly appeared in Helin were the soldiers who fled on a rainy day, but there was no real evidence, and this was just a conjecture.
Now that he has lost the base camp of Helin, he has become a lone army with 70,000 elites, he weighed carefully, the only chance to win at the moment is to defeat the army of Kublai Khan in front of him, as long as he concentrates his elite forces to defeat the elite of Kublai Khan in front of him, kill Kublai Khan, everything has a turnaround, in order not to affect morale, he ordered people to seal the news of the loss of Helin, and made a desperate bet on Kublai Khan in front of him.
On July 14, the morning sun rose slightly, and the light of the sun sprinkled down, and the entire valley became transparent and bright.
The beggar gang and his party were walking on the road leading to the southern entrance of the Broken Gut Valley, and suddenly, there was a magnificent sound of horses' hooves stomping the ground from behind, and Tan Liqiu and Xu Zijin, the leaders of the beggar gang, immediately said vigilantly: "Everyone is ambushed on the spot." ”
Hundreds of beggars gang disciples turned to hide, after a while, I saw the sect sword sect Shang Youwei and Tong Yinli led a hundred and ten disciples to come on horseback, Tan Liqiu saw that it was a member of the sect sword faction, and his heart was at peace, so he came out to stop the running horses, Shang Youwei and Tong Yin immediately saw that they were people from the beggar gang, and they were very happy to meet their allies on the road, and Shang Youwei said: "Tan helm master, you beggars gang"
Before Shang Youwei finished speaking, Tan Liqiu also said with a happy face: "Oh, the Zongjian Sect is really righteous enough, and as soon as they received a begging letter from our beggar gang, they rushed here. ”
Shang Youwei looked puzzled, "What kind of begging letter?"
Xu Zijin asked rhetorically, "Didn't you receive our begging letter to support us?"
Hearing Xu Zijin's rhetorical question, Tong Yinli was surprised: "We thought that you received our begging letter and rushed to support us?"
When the four of them were wondering, Shaolin Kuzhi and Bai ten disciples also happened to arrive, and when they saw Kuzhi, the four of them stepped forward and saluted together: "Master Kuzhi." ”
He politely replied with a Buddhist gift, "It's rare that you have traveled thousands of miles to support me Shaolin, and the poor monks are really grateful." ”
When everyone heard this, they were even more puzzled.
Tong Yinli suddenly woke up, and he hurriedly asked Master Kuzhi, "Did your sect also receive the appointment to break the intestine valley at two o'clock in the afternoon of July 14th?" ”
Kuzhi replied: "Exactly, what, did you also receive it?"
Monk Tan Liqiu and Shang Youwei replied together: "Well, we have all received it. ”
Kuzhi immediately felt bad, "It's strange in this way, I'm afraid that the other factions have also received the news." ”
Shang Youwei was suspicious: "Master, how do I think there is a conspiracy behind this,"
Kuzhi pondered for a moment, and then comforted: "Anyway, it is appropriate to wait for our various sects to gather and discuss countermeasures together before marching to the valley." ”
Everyone agreed.
The group camped at the southern entrance of the Broken Gut Valley and waited for the rest of the men.
Kublai Khan used fishing tactics and used himself as bait to lure Ali Buge step by step to the vicinity of the Broken Intestine Valley.
There is a necessary passage to the Broken Intestine Valley, Ziqiong Mountain, which is a narrow mountain road, after Ziqiong Mountain, Kublai Khan's army will retreat along the iron chain bridge to Dengzhou, Ali Buge knows this, Kublai Khan also knows this.
At this moment, Ali Buge has completely bet on getting rid of Kublai Khan, if Kublai Khan crosses the chain bridge, it is tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain, when he leads his troops from the south to join the army of the camp of Helin, he has no place to stand in Mongolia, no matter what the considerations, he will try his best, this point, Zong Zheng knows well, Kublai Khan also knows well.
For this reason, Ali Buge and the others, after careful deliberation, decided to send an advance force and all the masters of Juxian Pavilion to Ziqiong Mountain in advance to set up an ambush, with only one purpose, to snipe Kublai Khan with all their might.
At two o'clock, Kublai Khan led a small group of men and horses to Ziqiong Mountain, and the birds in the forest were startled and flew in flocks.
After a while, a soldier scout flew to Asutai and reported: "Report to the king, they have entered the forest. ”
"How many of them are there?" asked Asotai,
"Just a small team, dozens of people!" replied the detective,
"It must be their vanguard, let them go for the time being. Asutai muttered, and said again,
"Okay, got it, let's take a closer look!"
The scout received the order and left one by one.
Asutai turned to all the masters around him and said: "Listen, wait a minute, without my order, everyone will not move, and they are not allowed to make a sound, and those who violate it will be killed." ”
"Yes, my lord. "All men obey the word,
The whole mountain forest became extraordinarily silent, and a group of eyes lurked in the dark, like a tiger dormant when hunting, quietly waiting for their prey to enter the encirclement.
The mountain road is narrow, only allowing one horse to pass, and the broad end leads dozens of people to open a long distance, cautiously moving forward, as the pioneer of Kublai Khan's army, he is mighty, striding forward, sometimes looking left and right, sometimes looking into the distance.
Step by step, they entered the ambush circle of Asutai, and the surroundings were surprisingly quiet, and Kuoduan ordered the people to stop, and there was a sharp bend in the distance, and his intuition told him that Ali Buge was very likely to set up an ambush in this vicinity, so he ordered: "Try the arrow to clear the way." ”
Immediately, dozens of soldiers raised their bows and arrows to the sides of the mountain road to release arrows, the six masters shook the flying arrow clusters with their skills, and the rest of the unfortunate soldiers did not dare to make a sound after being hit by the arrow, and they endured it and did not dare to make a sound.
After a few rounds of test firing, Kuduan didn't hear any movement, and immediately ordered: "Keep going." Then he was relieved to leave.
Soon after Kuoduan left, the soldiers who inquired hurriedly came to report: "Report to the king, Kublai Khan has entered the forest. ”
Asutai looked overjoyed, ordered him to probe again, and quickly ordered the injured man to hurry up and bandage his wounds and be ready to attack at any time.
In order to ensure the absolute sniping of Kublai Khan, Asutai relied on the terrain to order Nan Luoxing and Zhu Yunshi to ambush on the right side of the mountain road; ordered the ghost-faced old monster to set up an ambush in front with ten archers, and ordered him to intercept Kublai Khan so that he could not escape from the bend range; ordered Daotuo to take ten archers and ten soldiers with knives to set up an ambush in the rear, and cut off the rear to rescue the soldiers after Kublai Khan entered the encirclement;
Azoutai himself was ambushed on the left side of the mountain path with Likisi, Shangmen Sero and the remaining ten men, and as soon as he shot an arrow, everyone immediately followed the instructions.
"The so-called don't see the rabbit and don't scatter the eagle, and don't go into the tiger's den to get the tiger. Kublai Khan knew that there were tigers on the road ahead, but he still preferred to go to Tiger Mountain, because he knew that only by showing up could he bring this group of tigers to the place he wanted them to go.
However, in the face of this group of tigers, it is too dangerous after all, so this is a dangerous move, and there is no other choice, so he must carefully arrange, not only not to put himself in complete danger, but also to let those tigers see the prey at their fingertips.
Kublai Khan, wearing a helmet and soft hedgehog armor, rode a tall horse to the ambush circle of Asutai and gradually approached, with dozens of guards in front of him and a long cavalry behind.
A murderous aura permeated the entire mountain forest, a gust of mountain wind blew, the leaves fell one after another, and faintly, it seemed that a faint smell of blood could be smelled.
Holding a bow and arrow, Asutai fixed his eyes on Kublai Khan and aimed the arrow at Kublai Khan.
At this moment, I don't know how many arrows are aimed at Kublai Khan, this point, he knows this, but his face does not change when he is in danger, and he pretends to be calm.
In this way, Kublai Khan entered the ambush circle step by step, and everyone was waiting,
Asutai finally seized the opportunity and released the bowstring in his hand, and the destringed arrow shot straight at Kublai Khan's sideways, and hit the target steadily, Kublai Khan immediately rolled off his horse, and his horse fled into the mountains and forests.
At the same time, arrows were fired from the left and right sides of the mountain road, and a large tree in the rear that had been cut by the sword suddenly fell, cutting off the passage of the rear cavalry.
Seeing Kublai Khan's arrow falling, Liu Bingzhong and Fa Si Pa immediately jumped off their horses and held Kublai Khan, and in just a moment, many arrows were shot around Kublai Khan, all of which were blocked by Liu Bingzhong and Fa Si Pag.
Then, the guards who were closer in front held shields to protect Kublai Khan, and more arrows were fired on both sides of the mountain road, only a few meters away, and the ground was full of arrows.
Due to the narrowness of the mountain pass, a large number of cavalry in the rear were firmly intercepted by Daotuo and the rest of the advance troops, unable to move forward.
Fa Sipa and Liu Bingzhong struggled to resist the arrows that came in, and under the rain of arrows, one after another the guards were killed by arrows, and soon, the remaining surviving guards consciously filled the gap with their shields.
When the rain of arrows stopped, many people rushed out on both sides of the mountain road, and Fa Siba saw that the general situation was not good, so he immediately ordered: "Quickly, help the Great Khan to get on his horse and rush forward with all his might." ”
Immediately, many guards surrounded Kublai Khan to get on his horse, and Fa Siba jumped behind Kublai Khan, holding Kublai Khan, who was tilting his head, and the two of them led many guards to rush forward, Liu Bingzhong followed closely behind.
A group of soldiers and horses galloped towards the bend ahead, and when they rushed out of the bend and came to the end of the bend, the grimace monster with ten archers suddenly appeared at the intersection.
They all fired arrows at the guards who rushed in front of them, and the guards who rushed in front were caught off guard and fell to the ground with arrows.
The crossbow team draws the bow and winds it, and then it is necessary to shoot a second round.
At that moment, Broadend and his pathfinders arrived, and they fired arrows at the back of the ghost-faced old monster at Broadend's orders.
As the Grimace Monster and the others were preoccupied with the front, they were caught off guard by the sudden attack from the rear.
The grimaced old monster was quick-witted and quick-witted, spotting it in time and scattering, dodging the rain of arrows, but the ten crossbowmen fell to the ground in an instant.
Fa Si Pa took the opportunity to rush out of the bend, leaving most of the centaurs at the broad end to intercept the pursuers in the rear.
Asutai led his men to pursue him from the other side of the curve, and seeing that the grimacing old monster did not intercept Kublai Khan, he had to order everyone to step up the pursuit of Kublai Khan, who was already wounded.
At the end of the bend, the soldiers and horses left behind at the broad end fought with the men of Asutai for only a moment, and then they all folded, and seeing that the guards of Kublai Khan were short of manpower, Ali Buge resolutely pursued and fired arrows directly from the rear.
The guards behind Kublai Khan shot down one by one, and Asutai saw that Kublai Khan was a hundred meters away in front of him, his heart was lifted, and he shouted loudly: "Quick, everyone follow, whoever kills Kublai Khan, go back and reward him." ”
