Sitting leaning against the strange rocks, Jiao Mao looked at Meng Qun and said sincerely, "Thank you for your hard work."
Meng Qun slowly shook his head, "This is what I should do."
"You also saved my life. You won't owe me anything in the future." Jiao Mao said.
Meng Qun still shook his head and said nothing.
When Jiao Mao saw this, he stopped talking. Considering the friendship between the two of them, it would be a bit awkward to say thank you.
Looking not far away, there were several bandits there, carefully holding the crossbow as if holding a treasure, and gently wiping it with their sleeves, a trace of fear appeared in Jiao Mao's eyes.
He witnessed the warriors who used to look like tigers and wolves, transformed into hedgehogs under the terrifying crossbow arrows, with blood bursting out. That scene will be unforgettable forever.
He knew that Meng Qun would definitely come to save him, but he didn't have much hope.
To rescue yourself from more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky with just 2,000 people.
Unexpectedly, Meng Qun actually got a crossbow machine!
"This thing is really powerful!" Jiao Mao exclaimed, and then he expressed regret, "It's a pity that we can't use it anymore."
Meng Qun nodded slowly. Indeed, they only had three thousand crossbow arrows, and they had used them all when they ambushed Jing Xun's team.
At this time, there is a crossbow machine, but no arrows.
Looking at the foot of the mountain, Jiao Mao was a little worried, frowned and asked, "What if there are enemy soldiers chasing me?"
He knew that Jingxun's team would not let him go, and as long as they recovered, they would lead the army to pursue him.
So now, we are competing to see who can recover faster.
The corner of Meng Qun's mouth raised slightly, revealing a smile that showed he had a chance to win, "Brother, don't worry, I have already made arrangements."
Seeing Meng Qun's smile, Jiao Mao's worries were reduced a lot.
Since raising the flag to rebel, they have fought hundreds of battles, large and small. Every time Meng Qun makes a move, it means victory is imminent.
Of course, there were times when I failed, and that was when I faced Jingxun.
But now that Jing Xun is gone, no one in the entire Lilan City can defeat Meng Qun's plan.
"Brother, please tell me in detail?" Jiao Mao was a little curious as to how the layout would be this time.
Meng Qun smiled and said slowly. "I have divided my troops into two groups and ran all the way to the south. I deliberately left traces along the way and set up an ambush in front. If there are enemy soldiers, they will definitely be attracted. When the time comes, they will be
It can catch the pursuers off guard."
With this arrangement, you can sit back and relax. After all, the pursuers will never think that Jiao Mao will be on the way to the north.
Ningyou Mansion is in the south of Lilan Mansion, and anyone with any brains will pursue it south.
But being cautious, he made two arrangements as usual, just to be sure.
"This way, I will protect my brother and rest here. Brother, please don't think that this mountain is ordinary. It is extremely steep, with cliffs on both sides and strange rocks on one side. We can only climb it by following the path we just walked.
Going up the mountain is still very dangerous. I have ambushed the archers on the mountain road. If there are pursuers chasing up the mountain, I can defend it from a high position and capture it to ensure that the pursuers never come back."
Meng Qun chuckled lightly, and his appearance of mastering the pearls of wisdom made the bandits around him fall in love with him and admire him endlessly.
After Jiao Mao heard this, he repeatedly touched his palms and sighed, "This is a wonderful plan. My dear brother is the best counselor today!"
He was very grateful that he had saved Meng Qun's life and was able to receive such help from such counselors.
Meng Qun smiled proudly, turned his head slightly, and looked into the distance.
If my guess is correct, there are already pursuers at this time, and they are following closely along the southern trail.
……
Fifteen miles south of Lan Mansion, Lei Shaotou knelt on the ground on one knee, observing the marks on the ground.
He stretched out his hand to measure the size and showed a smile.
Although the bandit was very careful and went out of his way to hide, he still couldn't hide it from his eyes.
That half of the mark must be hoof prints!
Ignorant child, do you really think that the traces can be erased if you want?
Even if you can hide it from others, you can't hide it from yourself.
The sharp eyes trained by long-term investigation of cases are not easy to acquire!
Standing up, Lei Captou smiled extremely proudly.
"The bandits are heading south, let's chase them quickly!"
After that, he got on his horse and led a group of fastmen in pursuit.
While speeding, the detectives whispered to each other, being surprised by Mr. Lei's detective ability.
After hearing this, Lei Captou felt more and more proud and couldn't help but look back.
Qin Yi has not chased him so far, so he probably has lost his way.
This guy still wants to compete with himself?
I'm afraid that when he takes Jiao Mao back, he will have no choice but to wander around Fucheng!
……
In a valley, bursts of wailing could be heard, and the smell of blood filled the air and lingered for a long time.
There were nearly a hundred armored soldiers standing at the mouth of the valley, holding swords and scanning the surroundings with a look of panic on their faces.
They did not expect that there would be such heavy casualties as they were approaching Lilanfu City.
Listening to the wailing of their colleagues, they became even more sad.
In the valley, many wounded soldiers were lying on the ground in a mess, wailing, and allowed to be bandaged and treated by their colleagues.
Among the crowd, Old Chengdu Lieutenant was leaning against the mountain wall, his arms were tightly bandaged with white cloth, his face was pale, and he could faintly feel panic.
Jingxun handed over the team to them, but something like this happened. If they were not mentioned, even Jingxun would be punished!
If this hadn't happened, no one would have noticed that Jingxun left the team secretly, but now, I'm afraid the whole world will know about it...
Thinking that he had put Jingxun in such a situation, the old Chengdu Lieutenant became even more uncomfortable.
Looking to the side, Captain Scar was lying on the ground, unconscious, his face as pale as gold paper.
He was unlucky and was hit by several arrows, but it was only through the desperate efforts of many soldiers that he could be rescued.
Therefore, the responsibility of organizing the team fell on Old Chengdu Lieutenant alone.
At this time, the soldiers sent to count the number of people came back and said with a gray face, "Reporting to the Captain, including the injured, there are only 5,312 people left in the headquarters."
After hearing this, Old Chengdu Lieutenant trembled in his heart.
In this single battle, more than 3,000 soldiers were killed!
His heart is about to bleed!
I am also extremely angry. I don’t know which damn guy, who is so lawless and oppressive, actually handed over such a powerful weapon such as the general crossbow to the bandits, causing heavy casualties in the headquarters.
We must find him out!
Unless he is found out, he swears that he will not be a human being!
Before that, we must hurry up and catch up with Jiao Mao. This guy was rescued by Meng Qun. If he is not pursued as soon as possible, he may fly away and be difficult to catch again.
Then half a decade of hard work in suppressing bandits will be wasted.
So after thinking about it, he decided to leave the injured men and horses behind, take the rest of the soldiers, and go to pursue them.
If not, no one would be able to capture Jiao Mao. No one in Lilanfu City is qualified for this task.
They are definitely no match for Meng Qun!
I wanted to leave immediately, but I didn’t know if the bandits still had crossbows. If they repeated the same mistake, they would be doomed.
Thinking of this, the old Chengdu captain who was about to get up suddenly hesitated!
