At the third watch of the night, fires burned the mountains. It was not until daylight that Cheng Dalei and his party broke out from the encirclement of the Rong tribe.
The Rong tribe followed behind. After several battles, the two sides finally made a big circle in the mountains and forests before getting rid of the Rong tribe behind them.
At noon, everyone rested temporarily by a stream. Cheng Dalei sat on a stone and asked, "How is the situation now?"
Guan Yu, Liu Bei and others didn't look too good. Guan Yu said: "Seven to eight hundred brothers have been separated, and now there are more than a thousand people. Some brothers are also injured, and the situation is relatively serious."
Cheng Dalei looked around and saw that the remaining men and horses gathered at the stream to drink water and use the cold stream water to dissolve dry food to wrap their bellies. Some of them had wounds from swords and arrows, and their wounds were barely bandaged at the moment, and they were in urgent need of medical treatment.
At this point, the battle was considered a big defeat. Cheng Dalei was in a bad mood, with anger on his face.
"Master, don't worry too much. Fortunately, we responded in time, otherwise we would have been trapped by this fire, and the casualties would have been more serious." Liu Bei comforted.
"Don't worry, I won't be able to accept even this failure." Cheng Dalei waved his hand and stood up: "It's time to discuss what to do next."
Compassion does not lead soldiers, justice does not lead justice. To this day, Cheng Dalei already knows what to do when and where. Casualties are unavoidable. Now is not the time to be depressed. You must cheer up and deal with the response.
down situation.
"The Rong people are very determined this time, no matter the manpower or the cost, they vow to eliminate us here." Guan Yu paused: "Will they know that the master is here?"
"It's not possible." Cheng Dalei scratched his head: "I came here without being out of sight, and I didn't seem to disturb anyone."
"Why did the Rong clan fight so hard this time if it wasn't for the sake of being the leader?" Guan Yu asked confused.
"Never mind." Cheng Dalei waved his hand: "Anyway, the soldiers are here to block the water and cover up the soil. Since they want to fight us, we will accompany them and fight them desperately."
"What's the next step for the boss?"
Cheng Dalei looked back and said: "The Rong tribe is rushing towards us now, and it is obvious that they have no intention of letting us go. The wounded soldiers currently need medical treatment, and we need to find a place to stay and place them properly."
"Going west from here, if you go all the way back to Liangzhou, you won't encounter any obstacles." Guan Yu.
"Go back now?" Cheng Dalei shook his head: "I'm afraid that the president will increase the prestige of the Rong clan and make them feel that there is no one in the empire."
"What do you mean by being the master?" Guan Yu's eyes lit up.
"Stay and collect the due debt." Cheng Dalei looked in the direction of Chang'an, his eyes full of fighting spirit.
In fact, Guan Yu didn't want to go back to Liangzhou. He had suffered a loss at the hands of the Rong people, so of course he had to get it back immediately to get rid of the bad anger in his heart.
Cheng Dalei summoned everyone to his side and began to give instructions on the next action plan.
"We are resting here for the time being. The Rong tribe will attack at any time. Shi Wengong, you take the wounded soldiers to the northwest and go all the way back to Liangzhou. Liu Bei, you go with them. I will arrange to cut off the rear for you."
There are about one or two hundred wounded soldiers, and two or three hundred more accompanying guards are needed. At present, Cheng Dalei has only more than a thousand men, and Shi Wengong, Liu Bei and his party have divided up one third.
"Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, you two lead a group of people to cut off the rear. The large Rong troops in the mountains and forests cannot be used, so it must be a small group of troops searching. If you encounter them, you should be able to defeat them. When the time comes, you can fight them.
Fight, but leave if you can't beat them, don't be reluctant to fight."
"Yes." Guan Yu agreed with clasped fists.
"The remaining people follow me." Cheng Dalei said: "The Rong tribe has sent out too many people, so someone must be mobilized in the middle. I guess it shouldn't be too far from here. Let's find them and take away their lair."
At the end of the sentence, Cheng Dalei felt furious. The Rong tribe set fire to the mountain last night, and he suffered a defeat. Cheng Dalei couldn't swallow this breath no matter what. He needed to find an opportunity to regain his position.
The team is divided into three parts, each doing its own thing.
Xu Shenji, Hua Rong, Gao Feibao, Gao Feihu and others followed Cheng Dalei. The group was transformed into a small group, making it much easier to move.
Cheng Dalei walked northwest, but in the opposite direction to the southeast. The further east he went, the closer he got to Chang'an City, and the more he ran into the encirclement of the Rong tribe.
I met the Rong tribe several times during the journey, and Cheng Dalei was right as he expected. The Rong tribe could not send out too many people. It could be one or two hundred people at most, or dozens of people at least.
In the mountains and forests, Cheng Dalei and others appeared and disappeared, and when they encountered them, they killed them with swords and swords.
Not only Cheng Dalei, everyone was filled with anger, and they attacked the Rong clan with anger, which was naturally much more fierce than usual.
After several rounds of fighting, it can be said that they won a complete victory, and the anger in everyone's hearts was finally vented.
"Master, do you feel that it is getting harder and harder for us to bump into the Rong clan?" Hua Rong said.
Cheng Dalei nodded and said: "I am also thinking in my heart. This mountain is densely covered with jungles. Even if the Rong tribe sends out more than ten thousand troops, they can't make much movement. But why can they always find us? It's like there are eyes in the sky.
.”
Everyone nodded. It really didn't make sense that the Rong clan could find everyone several times.
Gao Feibao glanced around and suddenly made a wahoo sound, which startled Cheng Dalei.
"What are you yelling about? Don't attract the Rong tribe here." Cheng Dalei scolded.
Gao Feibao said: "Master, do you still remember what happened at Qingniu Mountain?"
Cheng Dalei was startled when he saw Gao Feibao raising his arm, pointing at the mountain peak in the distance and saying, "Master, please take a look."
Cheng Dalei looked in the direction of his finger and saw a faint figure moving on a mountain peak in the distance.
In an instant, Cheng Dalei had understood. When the Rong tribe troops arrived at Qingniu Mountain, Cheng Dalei ordered Lin Shaoyu to hide on a hornet and use the big tree as a signal to indicate the whereabouts of the Rong tribe.
Unexpectedly, the Rong clan has learned from this. The same thing happened to Cheng Dalei once, but Cheng Dalei was overwhelmed and almost fell into their trap.
"Look, the Rong tribe is becoming more and more cunning." Cheng Dalei cupped his hands and said, "Brothers from each family, who dares to go and pluck out the eyes of the Rong tribe."
As soon as Cheng Dalei's voice fell, Gao Feibao and others asked for orders one after another. Everyone did not want to miss this opportunity to make a contribution.
Cheng Dalei pressed down his palms and said: "Hua Rong is taking a trip, be very careful."
"It's an order."
Hua Rong clasped his fists, stuck the knife on his waist, carried a big bow on his back, and walked forward quickly. Judging from the way he used his hands and feet, he was also a good hand used to walking in the mountains and forests.
Everyone is currently hiding in the mountains and forests, not daring to come out again. They are waiting for news about Hua Rong, but they don't know whether he can succeed.
Hua Rong rushed all the way and arrived at the foot of the mountain in a short time. He picked up a big tree and quickly climbed to the top of the tree. He drew his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow like a meteor towards the mountain.
