Chapter 88: Besieged (1)
In fact, it is not far from Zhenzhou, and the horses may be able to arrive in a day or two, but with the old and weak women and children, the horses are only fifty or sixty, and the speed of this march is not fast if you want to. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
If you continue to march like this, you may not be able to catch it in a day or two, even if it is ten days.
Wang Dashan was very anxious, he was one of the five people who survived the stragglers, and he was slashed in the arm, which was considered a relatively minor injury. The next day, the Khitans did not chase and kill, which also gave Li Fengyun plenty of time to evacuate the village, but judging from Wang Dashan's many years of experience, this was not a good thing, which meant that the Khitans would mobilize a larger number of pursuers, which meant that the chances of escaping to Zhenzhou were even slimmer.
Wang Dashan secretly told Li Fengyun about the worries in his heart, and even suggested that Li Fengyun leave with fifty or sixty horsemen with the strongest horses, and with the help of horses, these fifty or sixty people had a great chance to get out of danger before the Khitans were killed.
However, Du Ruyue scolded him, saying that he was as timid as a mouse, greedy for life and afraid of death.
If this word describes Wang Dashan in the past, there is not much mistake, but since he was the first to stand up and follow Li Fengyun, Wang Dashan would have died by himself, so what else is there to be afraid of? Even if he made this suggestion to Li Fengyun, he did not expect him to be one of those fifty or sixty people, because the injury on his left arm was very serious, and the bones were deeply visible, and now it was not easy to lift his left arm, so he could only tie his left arm to his body.
"This can't be done," Mo said lightly, even if Wang Dashan didn't say it, he could see that the situation was getting worse and worse, "Third brother, I think what Dashan said also has some truth, why don't you and Ruyue take a few brothers with better skills to Zhenzhou for help first." I walked slowly with the rest. ”
"How can that happen?" Du Ruyue said loudly, "The Khitans are killed, do you still have a way to live, big brother? If you want to stay, I will stay, I am here, I ...... Dad will definitely send troops. ”
Du Ruyue didn't know, her relationship with her father was not very good, and when she was in the house, it was rare to see each other a few times a year, Du Chongwei seemed to have forgotten that there was still this daughter, would he really send troops because of her daughter?
Li Fengyun waved his hand and said: "You don't have to fight, among the three of us, the eldest brother has the best martial arts and the highest light skills, only when the eldest brother goes to ask for help, he is most likely to bypass the Khitan people and enter Zhenzhou City."
I must stay here, if I leave, I am afraid that the military spirit here will be dispersed, and if so, it is better for all three of us to slip away.
Ruyue is right, if she stays here, Du Shuai will have a much better chance of rescuing the soldiers, big brother, don't worry, with me, Ruyue will be fine. He lowered his voice and said: "You two, I know that if it really comes to that moment, you may not be willing to escape, I am different, when I really have no choice, I will slip away faster than anyone else, and it is better to lose face than to lose my life." So, Ruyue followed me, not as dangerous as I thought!"
The three of them smiled, thinking that this was indeed the case, after a little discussion, Du Ruyue wrote a handbook, and took out a pearl hairpin as a token and handed it to Mo Qingyan.
With two subordinates with good martial arts and a little tidying up, Mo Qingyan took advantage of the darkness to leave everyone on his horse and run straight towards Zhenzhou.
Li Fengyun let everyone have a good night's rest, and after running for a day and a night, everyone was exhausted, after all, they were all ordinary people, how could they withstand such a rush? On this day and night of escaping, nearly 100 people were scattered, and they did not know whether they had fallen behind or secretly escaped
In the early morning of the next day, Li Fengyun continued to go north with a team of more than 400 people.
After less than an hour, they heard the faint sound of thunder behind them, and everyone was in a panic, looking at Li Fengyun together.
Li Fengyun's face changed greatly, Wang Dashan hurriedly pointed to a small hillside more than a hundred zhang away, and said loudly: "Li Daxia, quickly let everyone go up to the mountain bag, although the mountain bag is not high, but the terrain is still quite steep, rely on the height and guard, maybe you can hold it for a while longer, and wait for the rescuers invited by Mo Daxia." ”
Li Fengyun didn't have any other way, he greeted loudly, everyone cried and shouted for his mother, and rushed to the small hillside like a swarm of bees, and the formation that had just been rectified last night was chaotic again, and Du Ruyue shook his head.
Although she doesn't understand military strategy, she has also seen the real elite soldiers under Du Chongwei, like such a rabble, even if they defend from high, it is difficult to imagine that they can withstand the attack of the Khitan elite cavalry, besides, the vast majority of people do not have any decent blades in their hands, mostly hoes, wooden forks and sharpened wooden sticks.
There are more than 30 bows and arrows, and there are more than 400 arrows, but those who can open the bow and release arrows can only count more than ten people at most, and neither she nor Li Fengyun can do it.
Li Fengyun whispered to Du Ruyue again: "Pay attention to leaning on me, once the situation is not right, we will escape." ”
There was a small grove on the top of the mountain, and when I ran down the hillside, I saw a few people coming out of the woods, waving their blades, and shouting at them: "Don't come, don't come! You want to die, but don't pull us along! If you come up, don't blame Lao Tzu for cutting people!"
Everyone was stunned, but they didn't expect that there were still people hiding in the grove, and they didn't know what to do for a while, and many people cried loudly.
Li Fengyun was furious, swept his horse and rushed to the front, shouting: "The Khitan Tartars are coming, kill us all, do you think you can escape? It's better to merge together, maybe a few can survive!"
At this time, the dust raised in the sky could already be seen in the distance, and the rare flags were rolling in the meantime, and the Khitan elite horses were not far from them.
The people on the hill hesitated for a moment, discussed a few words, and the first man with a black charcoal face said loudly: "Okay, then you come up, don't mess around, you will be killed this time." ”
Everyone hurried up the hill, and Wang Dashan and the four soldiers hurriedly restrained everyone and prepared for defense.
This hill is not very high, only five or six feet high, but fortunately it is very steep on three sides, and only the south-facing side of the hill is more soothing, allowing horses to rush up.
The grove on the hill was not large, only twenty or thirty trees, but it was barely enough to help everyone block the arrows.
"My name is Dian Kui, those are my brothers, may I ask which way of friends are you?" The big man with a black charcoal face came to Li Fengyun with his eight brothers and asked.
"My name is Li Fengyun, she is my third sister Du Ruyue, and the commander of Zhenzhou Du Chongwei Du is her father," Li Fengyun pointed at Du Ruyue and said, "So you don't have to worry, as long as we work together to resist the attack of the Khitan Tartars, the reinforcements will arrive soon, and we have already arranged for someone to go to Zhenzhou to ask for reinforcements." ”
"You are Li Fengyun and Du Ruyue, may I ask what is the relationship between the Yonggu Palace Master and Miss Du!" Dian Kui asked with wide eyes.
"She's my master," Du Ruyue replied, "Why, you know us?
Dian Kui shook his head and said, "But I don't have that luck, I can't recognize the Yonggu Palace Master." Li Shaoxia, do you recognize Zhou Zongyun?"
Li Fengyun laughed and said, "Of course I know, we had a fight together at the Tongfu Inn. ”
Dian Kui also laughed when he heard it: "That's good, it's really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, and the family doesn't recognize the family." To tell you the truth, a few of us are the right protectors of Xiaoyao Hall in Tiance Mansion. ”
"Tiance Mansion?" Li Fengyun was a little puzzled, when did he become a family with what Tiance Mansion Xiaoyaotang.
Dian Kui saw the suspicious look on Li Fengyun's face, and hurriedly explained: "It's not surprising that Li Shaoxia doesn't know about the Xiaoyao Hall of Tiance Mansion, and Shaoxia still remembers that the master of Juyi Hall Zhou once gave Shaoxia a 'Tiger Ben' token?"
