Turbulent Times Chapter 253: Back
Shangguan Hu Jianghu has rich experience. He followed Wang Junlin and looked at the surrounding terrain with a frown. The mountain road is very narrow, only eight feet wide, with cliffs tens of feet high on both sides. The narrow mountain road goes all the way up. The precipice path is about five or six miles long, and there is a narrow line of sky overhead. If someone lays an ambush ahead, they will suffer heavy casualties.
Shangguanhu wanted to speak several times, but finally held back. Wang Junlin also imagined the danger he could think of, and even thought it more carefully than him. Wang Junlin’s methods and abilities had already completely convinced him.
Not long after, everyone walked out of the cliff mountain road, and suddenly saw a clear view. This is a flat land on the mountainside, covering an area of about two acres. Looking around, you can only see green mountains and lush forests, which makes people unable to resist. Give birth to such a magnificent feeling of mountains and rivers.
“Rest in place for half an hour!”
As soon as Wang Junlin waved his hand, Shangguanhu and Zhan Peng arranged for people to guard and rest. Niu Jinda followed Wang Junlin’s order when he entered Heilangxing, and led four guards who had been scouts to the front five. Serve as scouts inside and outside.
The reason why Wang Junlin dared to go all the way was because Niu Jinda led people to explore the road ahead, and left marks along the way to show that the journey was safe.
As for the worm monster, after experiencing the ravages of the injection of true water into his veins, it dealt a great blow to him. He remained silent all the way. If he was able to escape, he no longer let Niu Jinda watch him closely.
Everyone found a place to sit down and rest, took down the water hyacinth to drink water, and fed the war horse with a water bag. Wang Junlin sat cross-legged in front of a flat boulder, and drew a circle with a charcoal pen on the line of sky stone path just now. Then silently stared at the map in front of him.
He has marked six circles on the map with charcoal pencils, which means that they have passed six excellent ambush places, but they have not encountered any ambushes.
This is something that makes him feel very strange. Going forward, the dangerous location is within a hundred miles of Zhangye City. They will never ambush him near Zhangye City! What kind of medicine is sold in the other party’s gourd?
At this time, there was a sound of horseshoes, and two scouts who were exploring the way ahead were sent back by Niu Jinda. There is an ambush, and there is a small village more than ten miles away, and the people in the village say that no army has appeared in the past few days.”
“Master Hou, this is a bit strange.”
Xu Jingzong stepped forward and said: “Could it be that we made a mistake, Li Fengyun wanted to wait until we entered Zhangye County before doing anything.”
Wang Junlin shook his head and said: “It is impossible to do anything in the city, unless he wants to kill the prefect of Zhangye County and all officials at all levels, and he knows very well that he wants to kill me in the city, it is almost impossible. “
Speaking of this, Wang Junlin suddenly thought of something, his face changed slightly, his eyes swept over Shangguanhu, Yu Zimo, Xu Jingzong, and Zhan Peng, and said with a wry smile: “The caravan yesterday was used to be discovered by us. I dare not go through the sand bang pass, if I am not mistaken, the rear and front of us have been blocked by the army now. We are blocked in the Heilang Xing.”
Everyone’s face changed when they heard the words, Xu Jingzong gritted his teeth and said: “Master Hou led a small group of powerful people over the mountain and left. The large team will attract the attention of the enemy for Lord Hou and cover him to leave.”
Zhan Peng immediately said: “The humble official is willing to lead a large team to attract the attention of Lord Hou. Please ask Mr. Hou to take a small number of people over the mountain and leave, at worst, we will avenge us in the future.”
“Nonsense, the brothers followed me to live a good life, to gain fame and fortune, not to send me to death. When we were blocked in the small valley by Shangguanhu and the others a few days ago, could I stay? Next, you left alone?” Wang Junlin said coldly.
Shangguanhu was moved. After all, he brought two hundred brothers to join Wang Junlin’s command. Before he reached the ground, he let the brothers die in a daze.
Wang Junlin stood up and ordered everyone: “We will turn around now! Send an order to Niu Jinda to catch up quickly.”
…
…
Just as Wang Junlin judged, the Turkic general Luo Gesen had already led people to block the exit of Hei Lang Xing, and Li Fengyun sent 3,000 troops to block the retreat of Hei Lang Xing.
In the end, Li Fengyun didn’t bring people over in person, but sent his confidant Guoyi Captain Li Congrui to lead 3,000 soldiers from Shabeng Pass to cut off the opponent’s retreat after Wang Junlin and his party entered Heilangxing.
The entrance of Hei Lang Xing is called Hei Lang Xing. It is a low-lying rolling hilly area with dense forests. In fact, it is a depression between two low and gentle hills. The stele, no one would have guessed that this shallow dirt ditch is the entrance to Heilangxing.
At this time, Li Congrui led 3,000 troops to camp at the entrance. Wang Junlin and the others were intercepted by 5,000 Turkic troops. Clearly, and he didn’t take Wang Junlin and the others seriously. There were only more than two hundred people on the other side, but they had three thousand people. When the other party escaped from the Turkic people here, there would probably be even fewer people. The difference in strength Too big, in his opinion, it’s fine if Wang Junlin doesn’t come. If he comes, killing the other party is really an easy task. The only thing he worries about is that Wang Junlin escapes alone over the mountain.
In contrast, Li Congrui pays more attention to the Turkic people. If the Turkic army chases and kills Wang Junlin all the way, he must show something when he guarantees that Wang Junlin is about to die. At least he must fight the Turkic people. , is perfect. This Turkic team is said to be the Silver Wolf King Cavalry, which made Li Congrui a little worried.
The night fell quietly, the moon rose, the night became pale, and the darkness seemed to dissipate, the air became transparent and warm, and the moonlight shone on the mouth of the black wolf, covering the rocks and trees on the hills with a layer It is silver, and it can be seen clearly everywhere, and even the grass stalks on the roadside can be distinguished. In the narrow open space between the two hills, there are more than 300 tents standing clearly.
In the woods on a hill a hundred steps away from the tent, Wang Junlin and two of his men were looking at a tent under the hill.
Because of the narrow terrain, the tents are densely arranged one after the other in a north-south strip shape. There are about 300 tents in total. Dense spears are inserted around them to prevent camp stealing. Swimming sentries can be seen faintly The battalion moved around, and there were lurking posts hidden in the dark.
