Chapter 43: Moments of Crisis,
Li Mu yelled with all his strength and told the entire team to leave immediately. At this moment, the Zhou Dynasty cavalry roaring towards him and others had already verified Old Man Mo's guess.
There may indeed be no people who have escaped from Jinyong City here who need to be taken care of. Maybe I and others have already become bait, just waiting for those Zhou Dynasty people to take the bait.
Li Mu galloped towards the back, his thoughts suddenly clear.
If you want to escape from a besieged city, you will definitely be chased by many people, and your own small force is not enough to cope with it.
However, his identity as a heavy cavalryman was the biggest threat in the eyes of those in the Zhou Dynasty. If they knew that the Qi army's heavy cavalry had appeared in the place they had been guarding, no general would choose to charge here.
Even if there is a scam, it must be tested, and because it may be heavy cavalry, the officers of the Zhou Dynasty will definitely charge with a large number of troops.
But now, Li Mu encountered such a situation. There were probably thousands of people in that open area, including light cavalry and infantry. They were pouring over the mountains and plains. It was as terrifying as stepping into the hell of the king of hell.
Faced with such a scene, twenty cavalrymen couldn't even describe their current state. They all tried their best to rush their horses up the slope, hoping to cross the mountain before the opponent rushed over.
mound.
But as Old Man Mo said, this hill is too steep, and there are various upturned tree stumps in the middle. The rugged terrain makes it impossible for horses to run fast, and everyone is wearing heavy armor. Such a panic situation
It's already beginning to consume a lot of energy.
Li Mu was in the middle of the team, carefully driving his horses forward from the mountain, and looking at the situation behind him from time to time. The chasing soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty were getting closer and closer to everyone. Li Mu even saw some people.
I'm drawing my bow and nocking an arrow.
Li Mu immediately turned his head, whipped the horse, and at the same time asked everyone to speed up and leave here.
But contrary to expectations, the hillside in front of us was too difficult to climb, and it was even more difficult for the horses to bear the weight. The mountain road was slippery in the winter morning, and some horses had already begun to slip.
"It's so long, it's no good. I can't go up. If I go up any further, both the man and the horse will fall down!"
Yuan Hu's horse next to him staggered and almost threw him away, and then he shouted to Li Mu with an anxious look on his face.
"Chief, please think of a way quickly, those people are coming up." Yuan Hu shouted anxiously, but Li Mu didn't know what to do at this moment!
I am just a time traveler, and the abilities given by the system are only half-baked. It has nothing to do with the mission I am performing this time. I am not familiar with military books. I have to do what I want to do in the situation in front of me!
"Chief, why don't we spread out and run away? The forest on the top of the mountain is dense and it's hard to catch those people." Ge Qing followed up with sweating profusely at this time and said loudly immediately.
Old man Mo next to him also echoed, explaining that if he couldn't dismount now and lost these equipment, it should be no problem to save his life.
Li Mu immediately nodded, but Yuan Hu and another chief on the side objected loudly.
"No, you can't lose the horse no matter what. This horse is the life of my heavy cavalry!"
Yuan Hu said with a stubborn look on his face, Li Mu suddenly just wanted to be cruel, when did this happen, what are you doing?
"Listen to me, run separately, take off the armor and run. If you are able, you can lead this horse up. If it can't go, throw it away!"
Li Mu said this immediately, pulled the reins of the horse and rushed up the hillside for a while, then turned over and dismounted, and began to quickly undress himself.
After rolling on the ground, Li Mu freed himself from the heavy armor, wearing only a helmet and chainmail to look at the surrounding situation.
Everyone else had almost started to take action at this time, walking up one after another while taking off the heavy armor on their bodies. However, Yuan Hu, who was not far away, was still stubborn. After dismounting, he was still wearing the armor and was struggling to pull on it.
The horses walked towards the dense forest on the mountain.
Li Mu didn't say anything at the moment, but when he saw everyone fleeing towards the surrounding area, he also turned around, pulled his big maroon horse and started to run up the mountain.
The mountain was not very shaky, but the surrounding trees hindered people from moving forward quickly. The horses gradually caught up after losing their weight, but at this moment, a whistling sound sounded in the surrounding area.
Li Mu, who had experienced many battles, could naturally recognize what the sound was.
The enemies who were following up at the bottom of the mountain had already started firing arrows, which showed that the distance between us was not far away.
Li Mu's heart suddenly tightened. He immediately bent his waist a little more and continued to pull the horse towards the top of the mountain. But when he saw the top of the mountain right in front of him, a scream suddenly came from the bottom of the mountain. The sound gradually went down. It seemed that someone had rolled.
Go down.
Li Mu's heart tightened, but then he thought about how there were no casualties on the battlefield. He gritted his teeth and continued to pull the horse up. But at this moment, there was a faint rumble in the woods next to him, and the next moment a familiar figure appeared.
The shape appeared in front of Li Mu's eyes.
"Ge Qing, why are you here? Come on, follow me." Li Mu looked around and found that it was Ge Qing alone, so he immediately shouted.
However, Ge Qing, who was wearing a chainmail suit, looked horrified, and even said to Li Mu with a hint of sobs.
"Commander, hurry up and save people, Commander Mo, Commander Mo, he was hit by an arrow and rolled down the mountain."
"Who? Who are you talking about?" Li Mu stopped walking forward and looked at the other party with a look of disbelief, while tears were already streaming down Ge Qing's face.
"It's Captain Mo. He was walking with me just now. The enemy fired an arrow, but he blocked it for me. He stepped on the air and rolled down the mountain."
"Chief, let's go rescue him. If he rolls down the mountain, he will be discovered by those Zhou Dynasty people, and he will die."
Ge Qing came up to pull Li Mu's sleeves with a look of fear. The man, who was probably seventeen or eighteen years old, looked sad at the moment. When faced with such a situation, all he could think of was to find someone to rescue Old Man Mo.
Li Mu also turned around at that moment, but saw a dense crowd of soldiers about a hundred meters down the mountain. They were slowly walking up, carefully searching the situation.
"Commander, let's go quickly, hurry up, if...if we don't go, the corps commander will die." Ge Qing looked at Li Mu's stiff expression, and immediately urged him with a cry, but Li Mu was
He looked at the other person and said slowly.
"Ge Qing, you can't go back. There are enemies down there. If you go there, you will get in there yourself. Follow me and get out of here."
Li Mu gritted his teeth and said, if the current situation continues, maybe Ge Qing in front of him will also get involved.
But when Ge Qing next to him heard Li Mu's words, his eyes widened and he said tremblingly: "Chief... you... you won't save the corps commander."
"It's not that we won't save him. This is the situation. You have to get in. Save your own life first. Come on, follow me."
Li Mu could only explain it this way at the moment, but he reached out and grabbed the other person, pulling him away.
But the next moment, Li Mu's hand was immediately thrown away. What greeted Li Mu was a fist as big as a casserole, followed by an angry shout.
"Gao Bai! You are no longer our commander. Get out. I will save the corps commander myself! Get out!"
Ge Qing shouted loudly, but he stepped back and roared with tears on his face: "It's a shame that we still treat you as a brother, and the corps leader said that you treat us as a brother, you are a wolf-hearted thing!"
"Ge Qing, that's not what I meant..."
Li Mu covered his face and tried to defend himself, but Ge Qing had already turned around, pulled out the Su Tiedao, shouted and rushed down the mountain.
The next moment, shouts of killing suddenly rang out from all around, and the loud shouts of harmony came from Li Mu's right side.
Li Mu turned around and saw a familiar figure rushing out of the woods. It was Yuan Hu. He was holding a long horse and driving his horse down the mountain.
At the same time, there was a noise in the surrounding woods, and the next moment a person jumped out of it. Li Mu looked over one by one, and saw that they were all soldiers from his own group, and soldiers from another group.
They had more or less taken off some of their armor, but at this moment they no longer cared about wearing it and mounted their horses again. Holding horse spears or iron knives in their hands, they all rushed down the mountain in one direction while roaring.
Li Mu stood up blankly, seeing the twenty people rushing down like crazy, his whole body was shaking.
