Chapter 363 Lin Haixueyuan, how to deal with the enemy?
When Xiao Tang and others rushed into Longshou Mountain, Sai Hongfu and the Yan brothers had to deal with the remaining Liao army, so Xiao Tang and others kept a certain distance from the horse thieves who were chasing them.
After about an hour or two, Xiao Tang and others came to a hidden place in the mountains. In order to recover some strength, they swept away some snow and sat on the ground. Shi Jin took out the wine gourd he carried with him so that everyone could
They took turns drinking strong wine from the gourd to warm themselves and ward off the cold.
Although it is not snowing now, there are often cold winds blowing. Everywhere you look is a vast expanse of white, and there are layers of black clouds in the sky with no trace of sunlight. When the biting cold wind blows,
Xue Mozi smashed people's faces headlong, and Xiao Tang and others were blown out of their eyes from time to time, and they could even feel the bitter cold of the severe winter in the northern part of the country.
"Those damn Jurchens! They chose to cause trouble when my brother was on a mission. If they had gone north to the Huanglong Mansion, I'm afraid we wouldn't even have a chance to escape." Shi Jin drank the last bit of the wine gourd.
After drinking heavily, he couldn't help but cursed angrily.
"The group that came are not Jurchens!" Duan Jingzhu, who had just had a chance to breathe, shook his head and said to Xiao Tang: "Brother, didn't I tell you that there is a group of horses on the border of Song and Liao?
It's so cruel that it's the same group of people who came to attack us today! The two leaders are the brothers of the Yan family who are called "Gust of Wind" and "Dry Sky Thunder". As for the woman who wields the whip, there are nine out of ten of them.
He is the descendant of a nobleman from the Bohai Kingdom whose surname is Gao, known as 'Sai Hongfu' in the world!"
"Bohai people!?" Xiao Yi's expression changed, and he hurriedly said: "Whether it is the Bohai people or the group of horse thieves, the young master has no grudge against them, so why do they want to harm the young master's life?"
Gao Yongchang, the assistant general of Liaoyang Prefecture, would raise troops to rebel, and Sai Hongfu and Gao Yongchang were both descendants of Bohai nobles... Xiao Tang combined the historical events he knew, and gradually he could guess
Sai Hongfu, who had nothing to do with him before, and two brothers, Yan Youxin and Yan Youyi, would lead horse thieves to ambush him.
According to the official history, Gao Yongchang occupied more than 50 states in Tokyo, Tokyo, and claimed to be the emperor of the Great Bohai in Liaoyang Prefecture in Tokyo. He first instigated a dozen assassins to lurk into the left-behind mansion to assassinate Xiao Baoxian, the left-behind in Tokyo, and then incited Bohai in Liaoyang Prefecture.
People followed him to revolt and restore the country... After some time, he expelled the Liao Dynasty and sent to Tokyo to appease the people. The famous officials of the Liao Kingdom, Qingguan Dagong Ding, Qing Ming and others, who were also of Bohai ethnic origin, were sent to Tokyo.
Now that Gao Yongchang is eager to proclaim himself emperor, he will use whatever tricks he has before he actually starts a rebellion. So at this time when he is about to start a rebellion, he, Xiao Tang, passes through Liaoyang Prefecture as the Song Dynasty's envoy to purchase Beizhu.
, what will Gao Yongchang plan?
At this time, Gao Yongchang probably did not know that the Wanyan tribe was leading the Jurchen tribes to prepare to attack the Liao Dynasty. He instigated Sai Hongfu's horse thieves to pretend to be Jurchens, and intercepted Song envoys and Liao envoys halfway within the Jurchens' sphere of influence.
The official army and the Liao Dynasty will definitely raise troops to punish the Jurchen tribes... By then Gao Yongchang will not have to fight against the Liao army's conquest on his own. I am afraid that he will completely muddy the situation in order to profit from it.
.....It seems that 80% of the time it was because I happened to arrive at the border of Liaodong, so Gao Yongchang wanted to blame me.
Thinking of this, Xiao Tang sneered and said: "We really have no enmity with the Bohai people, but from what I think, this trip just happened to hit their swords."
Over there, Yan Qing frowned after hearing this, and when he was about to ask a question, he heard faint strange noises coming from the mountains in the distance.
Xiao Tang and others immediately lowered themselves down. As they crawled forward and looked out along the cliff, they saw a few black spots gradually protruding from the snow forest in a stretch of white-capped mountain peaks. , followed by dozens, hundreds... Xiao Tang and others could vaguely see that it was the horse thieves under Sai Hongfu and the Yan family brothers who abandoned their horses and sneaked into Longshou Mountain to search the mountains and gradually approached them. come over.
Shi Jin couldn't help but cursed secretly: "Those thieves have really caught up with them! It seems that the Liao army that stops them from afar will not do anything, but I don't know what the situation of Arich and Qiong Yao Nayan is."
He couldn't care about others at the moment... Xiao Tang raised his head and looked at the surrounding terrain, but behind him he saw a narrow valley in the shape of a line of sky. The ground inside was flat, and it was surrounded by bare layers of snow. of dead old trees.
Although the terrain there is one man's way, no one can break it, and the dense forest with dead trees at the entrance of the valley can make it impossible for the enemy troops who are good at running and fighting to control their horses, but after all, Sai Hongfu, the Yan family's subordinates There are many horse thieves, and most of them are equipped with strong bows and arrows.
But what about Xiao Tang's side? Except for Yan Qing who was holding a steel sword and a Sichuan crossbow, everyone in the mountains and forests had no crossbows to stop the enemy from a distance. Xu Guanzhong and Duan Jingzhu even used their bare hands to fight with the enemy. How can you resist it?
If they continue to run deep into Longshou Mountain, the silver-white world in the mountain will make it difficult to hide their traces. There are few people here, and there are no humans and animals. It is impossible for Xiao Tang and others to go straight there. There will be officers and soldiers coming to support them. Rescue. What’s even more frightening is that if Xiao Tang and others continue to escape due to lack of food, their limited physical strength will disappear sooner or later. Under the double blow of severe cold and hunger, they will not have to wait for Sai Hongfu and others to catch up. I'm afraid they were already on the verge of death before they came to him...
"Straight bitch! It's better to have a good fight with those guys than to hide in vain!" Shi Jin stood up suddenly behind the cliff and said angrily.
Shi Jin also said this in anger. He also knew how to deal with Sai Hongfu's horse thieves. He also needed Xiao Tang and the thoughtful Xu Guanzhong, Yan Qing and other brothers to make decisions. But he stood up suddenly At that time, someone accidentally stepped on the snow-covered ground nearby. The knee-deep snow made Shi Jin stumble, and along with the frozen soil and snow, Shi Jin felt that the weight pressing on his legs was several kilograms. Heavy.
At this time, Shi Jin couldn't help but feel depressed. There was deep snow everywhere in the valley of Longshou Mountain. In such terrain, there was no need to fight with others. Even when walking, his movements became clumsy. In such an environment, how easy is it to fight against an enemy force a hundred times larger than our own?
Taking advantage of the danger, the opponent had strong bows and sharp arrows. If he continued to flee, sooner or later he would be overtaken by the opponent. So he simply rushed up to fight with the enemy? When he fought a bloody battle with a large number of enemies without using his own skills, Xiao Tang again How many brothers' lives are going to be lost?
Just when Shi Jin, Xiao Yi, and Duan Jingzhu were at a loss what to do, Xiao Tang stared at the deep snow-covered environment in Longshou Mountain, and an idea flashed through his mind like lightning.
But before he could speak, Xiao Tang saw Xu Guanzhong's eyes light up again. Xu Guanzhong only pondered for a moment, and then said to Xiao Tang: "We are limited by the terrain and environment, so why are those horse thieves? Besides, brother Xiao Tang, I have
It’s an idea, it just requires you to take some danger..."
