Chapter 156 Accidental Risk
If the horses were wise, when they devoured the soybean meal without any scruples, they should have guessed that there would be no good things in the future. When they saw the humans in front of them moving away, they should be nervous, even afraid.
But they don't know anything, they just think that this is an ordinary "night grass", and they stand in rows honestly. They are war horses, and they still understand the rules.
More than 30 people stood behind the horses, showing their knives.
"Okay!" Du Chuanyun's voice came, indicating that the Chu army in front had given way to both sides.
Han Ruzi wanted to slap the horse with the body of the knife, but after raising the knife, he realized that if he didn't let the horses "go crazy", his plan to retreat from the enemy would be wasted.
The other soldiers did not hesitate at all, and dozens of knives fell, stabbing or slashing.
A frightened horse can usually make a whole group of horses panic, not to mention dozens of horses suffering almost at the same time? With a loud neigh, the horses threw their hooves away and ran down the mountain. Before running, they made a little revenge. Several Chu soldiers were kicked away by the horse's hooves. They blamed themselves. They stood behind the horses and forgot a knife. How much anger it will provoke.
Han Ruzi dodged, looking at the horses galloping down, urging silently in his heart, hoping that they would run faster and wilder.
There is only one way down the mountain, and the horse group collided with the shield formation of the Huns.
The morale of the Chu army was lifted.
Du Chuanyun raised his arms and cheered, Fang Daye grabbed him and asked out of breath, "Are you here to protect General Zhenbei?"
"Of course." If another person dared to grab his arm like this, Du Chuanyun would immediately turn his face, but Fang Daye was different. Du Chuanyun sincerely admired this old general and was very happy to receive a mission from him.
"Take the general up the mountain and see if there is a way to leave."
"Ah, isn't this just escaping?"
Fang Daye said coldly: "Why, you don't want to escape? Then you go down the mountain and open a bloody road. We will follow you. After breaking through the encirclement, we will kowtow to you and offer you up like a Buddha."
Du Chuanyun smiled embarrassedly, "I didn't say I disagree."
Fang Daye let go, "Don't take too many people away."
"Yes." Just as Du Chuanyun turned to leave, Fang Daye said again, "Leave the flag behind."
"Oh." Du Chuanyun had never been so obedient before, he had to refute a few words with his grandfather, but he was obedient to Fang Daye.
Han Ruzi and a group of soldiers were walking down, hoping to see the situation under the mountain more clearly.
The shield formation was broken, the horses had already run far away, the neighing came occasionally, and there were dead and wounded at the foot of the mountain. This time, no one took them away, and all who could run ran away. They were too busy to help their companions.
From the top of the mountain, the situation below could not be clearly seen, and the people below the mountain were even more confused. For a long time, the Huns did not attack, nor did they recover the dead and wounded.
Du Chuanyun ran to Hou Juan, "Let's go."
"Where are you going?" Han Ruzi was taken aback.
"Look up the mountain, maybe there is another way."
Han Ruzi glanced back. He had observed it during the day. The top of the mountain was full of stones, extending to the east and steep to the west, surrounded by the Huns. "Where is the road?"
"Maybe, how do you know if you don't see it?"
Han Ruzi called Xiao Xiao and ordered him to rectify the soldiers and obey Fang Daye's command. He took a dozen people up the mountain to check.
The top of the mountain didn't look far, and it became steeper as it went up. The last section of the road was difficult to walk, and the danger could not be seen clearly in the dark. The soldiers all persuaded Hou Juan not to go any further. Only Du Chuanyun relied on his light work and said: " You stay here, and I'll go up and see by myself."
Without waiting for Han Ruzi's consent, Du Chuanyun used both hands and feet, climbed up, and disappeared after a while.
There were shouts from the bottom of the mountain, and the top of the mountain could not be heard clearly. A soldier received the signal of the Marquis Juan and shouted loudly to the middle of the mountain: "How is it? The Huns are attacking again?"
"The Huns have persuaded to surrender again!" The man halfway up the mountain replied, "Wait for us to shoot him a few arrows!"
The night became the protection of the Chu army, and the Huns obviously couldn't figure out the situation on the mountain. When the day dawned and they found that the Chu army had not received assistance, they would definitely launch an attack again.
Han Ruzi and the others climbed high, but they couldn't see further. They only felt that the mountain wind was fierce. He looked towards the top of the mountain, hoping that Du Chuanyun would really find a way to escape.
Du Chuanyun spoke from above, "I've climbed up! Hei Gu Long Dong can't see clearly, it seems... Hey, there are beasts behind the mountain, not beasts, but Huns, wait for me..."
There was a faint sound of weapons colliding, which soon disappeared, and there was no sound.
Han Ruzi was startled, but he didn't expect the Huns to climb up from the back of the mountain. If they hadn't come to check, they would have fallen into the situation of being attacked by the enemy. He estimated that the number of people would not be too small. Du Chuanyun would definitely not be able to have one enemy with more than one enemy. He wanted to go up to help, but he didn't have the ability to climb.
"Du Chuanyun!" Han Ruzi called out.
"He's behind the mountain, and his voice can't get through," a soldier reminded.
"Who else can climb up? Help him." Han Ruzi looked at the soldiers of the tribe. There were not many people from Jianghu who served in the army in the capital. These three were part of them and also his bodyguards.
If anyone else can climb to the top of the mountain, it's them.
The three of them looked at each other and looked up together. One of them said, "I'll try." Sai Zhan put away his waist knife, lay on the rocks like a gecko, and slowly climbed up. Qing Gong was obviously one level worse than Du Chuanyun. Big cut, but gradually rising, not falling.
"Be careful of the stone, Hou Juan, come here." Another Jianghu guard said.
Han Ruzi stepped aside, and although he couldn't see anything, he still looked up.
The third Jianghu guard whispered to several other soldiers and persuaded them to go halfway up the mountain to help Fang Daye. The place is cramped and cannot accommodate so many people.
After a while, Han Ruzi realized that there were only two Jianghu guards left, and both of them were holding knives.
The voice of the first Jianghu person came from the top of the mountain, "No one, it seems that they all fell. If the Huns can climb up, we should be able to climb down too, even if there are still Huns guarding the bottom of the mountain."
"Understood!" The two Jianghu people said in unison, and then they faced the Marquis of Wan, clasped their fists and saluted, but did not put away the knife in their hands.
Han Ruzi looked at them. He wanted to pretend to be confused, but he felt it was unnecessary, so he asked, "For wealth? For fame? For wealth?"
The two Jianghu people did not answer.
"'The God of Opening the Way' Wang Lingshang, 'Wind Knife' Gu Juren, the one above is...'Old Ape' Song Shaokun." Han Ruzi called out the nicknames and names of the three.
"Marquis Juan has a good memory." Wang Lingshang rushed down with the tip of the knife, and Gu Juren stood behind Marquis Tien.
"You joined the Rebel Army in northern Beijing. Of course I remember, um, if you let me guess, you are working for the Chai family?"
Wang Lingshang smiled slightly, "Marquis Tien not only has a good memory, but is also smart."
Gu Juren, who was behind Han Ruzi, said in a low voice, "Why are you talking about this? Let's do it."
Han Ruzi's heart tightened. He was far from being the opponent of the two of them. Even if he called, the soldiers on the mountainside would not be able to save him in time.
At the most unexpected moment, he fell into the most unexpected danger.
Wang Lingshang shook his head, "Marquis Tien treats us well, we should make it clear to him, and—wait for the Huns to attack again, we can take advantage of the chaos."
Gu Juren snorted softly and said nothing.
Wang Lingshang glanced down the mountain, and the Huns showed no sign of attacking for the time being.
"That's right, we were invited by the Chai family with a lot of money. As for who paid the money, I don't need to say."
Han Ruzi's heart clenched even tighter, but he could barely maintain his composure on the surface, "You guys have to wait quite a long time."
"There's no way. Marquis Juan has a special status. If we die in the army, we can't run away, and the Chai family can't escape the relationship. We originally wanted to wait for the opportunity to fight the Huns, but we didn't expect the opportunity to come: Marquis Tien did not die by our hands, but by the sword of the Huns."
"Kill me, you still can't escape."
"Hey, let's try it, anyway, staying here is waiting for death, with only the head of Marquis Juan, the chance of escaping is even greater. Later, we will climb down from the back mountain. If there are no Huns, it is a fluke, there are Huns. If someone is guarding, we will surrender our heads and find an opportunity to escape."
"How much did the Chai family pay?" Han Ruzi leaned back against the rocks and held the handle of the knife, wondering if he would have the chance to draw the knife out of the scabbard.
"It's not just about money. We owe favors and we have to pay them back. To be honest, Juanhou people are good, but in terms of friendship, we're still one level behind. There's nothing we can do, so we have to apologise to you."
Gu Juren interjected: "We are just one step ahead of the Huns, take your head so that we can go back and deal with each other."
Song Shaokun's voice came from the top of the mountain again, "What are you waiting for? Come up quickly."
"No hurry." Wang Lingshang replied, "The Huns at the foot of the mountain seem to be attacking again."
A few pieces of gravel fell from the top of the mountain, and Wang Lingshang shouted, "Be careful!"
Several people looked down the mountain, and vaguely saw a group of people moving.
"It's also because I have no eyes, so I actually made you all my bodyguards." Han Ruzi sighed.
"Marquis Tire doesn't need to blame himself. There are not many people who know martial arts. We were recommended by Du Chuanyun as bodyguards after showing off our skills. If we have eyes but no eyes, it's also Du Chuanyun. He trusts the heroes of all corners of the world."
"Du Chuanyun is right." Han Ruzi would never put the blame on others.
A tribe soldier climbed up the mountain. He was a fisherman, not a Jianghu native. He said, "General Fang asked me to ask if there is any chance on the mountain. If not..."
Wang Lingshang greeted him with a smile, "If you have a chance, listen to me..."
The soldier was completely unprepared for him. When he was shocked, his throat had been cut. Wang Lingshang hugged him and let the blood spray on him. Looking halfway up the mountain, no one seemed to be paying attention. , wait for the Huns..."
Han Ruzi didn't draw his sword, it was too late, but he used all his strength and punched hard.
Gu Juren was on guard, stretched out his hand to hold Hou Juan's wrist, raised the knife in the other hand, and said coldly, "I can't see how strong Hou Juan is. Keep your mouth shut, I'll give you a treat. Just a moment."
Han Ruzi never imagined that he would die here.
Gu Juren was even more unexpected.
A sword stabbed down from above, silently, until it pierced the top of Gu Juren's head, and then suddenly accelerated.
Gu Juren's mouth was tightly closed, still maintaining his original posture, Han Ruzi looked up in surprise, and Du Chuanyun, who was hanging upside down on the rock, made a shush gesture to him.
