Lan Ziyi saw that Lei Youde had been protected by the thieves and the legions, and there was no chance to kill, so he looked up to the sky and sighed:

"Thieves also have heavenly help?"

So he commanded the whole army:

"Let's withdraw!"

Although the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion were unwilling, the thieves who came out to answer had already lined up at this time, and they were about to release their arrows.

On the way back to retreat, everyone walked very briskly,

One is that the horses are tired of running and can no longer sprint back with all their strength.

The second is that there are no professional cavalry in the thief camp, and even if they put together a cavalry team, they can't compete with Lan Ziyi and their elite Jihu battalion cavalry.

Although Lei Youde was not killed, the soldiers also shot down a lot of thieves, which would make everyone bandage their wounds on horseback, while talking and laughing with each other to calculate their own rewards.

In the end, many people asked if Lan Ziyi's words counted,

Lan Ziyi immediately took out a piece of ten taels of silver from his bosom and threw it to the sergeant who asked him, and then said:

"You just shot a thief, didn't you? I'll see it all in my eyes, and I'll give you ten taels first. ”

The sergeant couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and took the silver and quipped:

"Why did Wei Hou only give me ten taels, I obviously shot the thief."

兰子义 says:

"Don't bluff me, I can see clearly, you just shot the thief in the forearm, then it would be really unreasonable if you could shoot people to death."

On the side, Tao Zhutu stretched out his arm and said:

"See, Lao Tzu is an arrow in his forearm, and now he is still jumping alive, and you dare to sit on the ground and ask for a price here?"

The sergeant who asked for the silver replied with a smile:

"Who doesn't know that General Beizhen Peach Chase Rabbit Peach is extremely brave, and a plum blossom gun is all over the Willow Lane of Flower Street in the capital, how can your body be comparable to a thief? Do you think so? “

The army laughed when they heard this, and after the peach rabbit scolded back, they also laughed together.

Lan Ziyi then stood on the pedal and said loudly:

"I don't have enough money with me, so I can only enjoy it first.

But don't worry, when I return to the city, I will give you silver, although I am not a rich businessman, but I can still afford this reward. “

When the army heard this, they all shouted, and they all said that Lan Ziyi's words counted and he was the most credible.

Lan Ziyi approached the peach rabbit horse and said:

"I also remember your money, and I'll give it to you when I get back to the camp."

Peach Rabbit smiled:

"Thank you Weihou, I just owe a lot of gambling debts in the capital, and I can pay it back now."

兰子义 says:

"Why don't you ask me if you don't have any money? Am I not even able to afford this little money? ”

Peach Rabbit smiled and didn't answer.

Then Peach Rabbit asked:

"Wei Hou didn't kill Lei Youde with so much effort tonight, will he be unwilling?"

Lan Ziyi sighed and said:

"What's more, it's unwilling, it's just hating to death, I broke several brothers but only killed a few minions, how do you think about how to lose, can those god-killing thieves compare to the hundred battles of my Tiger Battalion?"

The soldiers of the Tiger Battalion on the side nodded silently when they heard Lan Ziyi say this, Lan Ziyi is a pioneer, and he loves soldiers like children, and the rewards and punishments are clear, and he is indeed worthy of the death of the army.

Tao Zhutu heard Lan Ziyi say this, and hurriedly apologized

"It's all to blame for my inaccurate shooting, which ruined Wei Hou's good deeds."

Lan Ziyi waved his hand and said:

"Where is General Chasing Rabbit, you were right to shoot like that at that time, who would have thought that Lei Youde would suddenly turn around.

In this way, Lei Youde's life should not be extinguished, and he can't die. “

The soldiers of the Tiger Battalion also said:

"General Rabbit is brave and fearless, and his archery is accurate, so he doesn't have to blame himself too much. I don't know where that arrow went. ”

Tao Zhutu heard Lan Ziyi call him a "general" and muttered in a low voice:

"I still like to hear the young master call me ......"

Lan Ziyi didn't hear clearly, and asked:

"What did General Rabbit say?"

Tao Zhutu was silent for a while, and said:

"Nothing."

Then Peach Rabbit seemed to think of something, and said:

"We don't seem to see anyone along the way."

Lan Ziyi asked:

"Who?"

Peach Rabbit replied:

"Obviously, the thieves we defeated outside the North City Gate also retreated in the direction of the thieves' camp, and it was a little strange that we didn't see a single person along the way."

The soldier of the Tiger Battalion replied:

"We chased the horses north for a long time, probably staggered with the escape route of the thieves."

When Lan Ziyi heard this, his face sank, and he hurriedly ordered:

The sergeants obeyed the order, reined in the whole group, put out all the torches, took the bows and arrows in their hands, and their eyes lit up, and they looked carefully on both sides of the road. Don't talk freely. ”

The army was overwhelmed by the sudden order, but the commander had an order, and of course they complied.

However, after a while, the cavalry of the Tiger Battalion had already cleaned up their scattered formations and carefully advanced with bows and arrows in hand.

Tao Zhutu was beside Lan Ziyi and asked quietly:

"Wei Hou, what's wrong? Why all of a sudden, so nervous. “

兰子义 says:

"Have you forgotten what you reminded me about the thief shooter?"

Peach Rabbit replied:

"But the thieves have been defeated by us, we just don't see them."

兰子义 says:

"The thieves were defeated by us, but they were not slain by us, and we did not send men after them.

More than 10,000 people are no joke, and once reorganized, it is not something that our 200-odd people can deal with. The most troublesome thing is that we are very willing to collide with this gang of thieves on the way back. “

Hearing this, Tao Zhutu nodded, and no longer spoke, but picked up the bow and arrow in his hand and vigilantly observed the surroundings.

In this way, more than 300 soldiers of the Jihu Battalion were silent, walked all the way, and were about to return to Yuzhou City.

Lan Ziyi even felt that he was nervous, and whether it was necessary to be so careful.

At this time, the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion who were at the head suddenly raised their hands to signal to stop.

The soldiers of the Jihu Battalion stopped when they saw the signal, Lan Ziyi and Tao Zhutu urged the horse to slowly walk forward, and Lan Ziyi asked:

"What's wrong, why did you stop?"

The sergeant who had just raised his hand said:

"I can't see it clearly, but there seems to be a flash in the grove in front of me."

The other sergeant pointed to the woods that were still some distance ahead and said:

"We saw it together. It did seem to be a flash of light, like a mirror. ”

Peach Rabbit asked:

"Mirrors?"

The two sergeants nodded,

Lan Ziyi thought to himself that where would there be a bronze mirror in this wilderness, that thing was not a solid thing, and people couldn't afford it.

But it's better to be cautious when the striker has a report, so Lan Ziyi and Tao Zhutu also stopped beside the two Jihu Battalion soldiers and stopped to watch.

The plains are silent in the middle of the night, and in early spring there are no insects, birds, and frogs.

The cool breeze blows, the grass and trees sway, the fragrance of the earth and the smell of new shoots are quiet in the air, refreshing and intoxicating.

People who are tired after running for so long, who only want to sleep when the bright moon flashes in the sky, and whose own eyelids are drooping when the stars blink.

Lan Ziyi followed the two pioneers of the Jihu Battalion to stop, there was no movement in the woods, if it wasn't for the hard work to cheer himself up, Lan Ziyi would have fallen asleep on the horse.

After a long time, there was still no movement there, and the two pioneers of the Tiger Battalion were a little embarrassed and said:

"Maybe we are wrong, this is almost to the edge of Yuzhou, there should be no problem."

兰子义 says:

"You're right, I tell you to pay attention to your surroundings, it's always right to be careful, it's the problem that the horse stumbles."

As he spoke, Lan Ziyi was about to turn his horse's head and go back.

Tao Zhutu frowned and straightened up on the horse, listened carefully with his ears sideways, and then said to Lan Ziyi

"Wei Hou, listen carefully, there is a voice."

So Lan Ziyi also listened attentively on the horse,

Far away, there seems to be some sound behind the sound of the wind in the grass and trees,

Although it still needs to be carefully identified to be heard, the sound is indeed getting louder and louder, it seems to be a shouting of killing, on the side of Yuzhou.

At this moment a cumulus cloud was blown away in the air, and the moonlight brushed neatly through the trees like the long hair pouring down the girl's head, and shook over a golden spot in the forest, like a bronze mirror flickering in the moonlight.

Sergeant of the Tiger Battalion whispered:

"That's it, did Wei Hou see it?"

Lan Ziyi nodded, still wondering what it was, and said on the side:

"It's not a mirror, it's a reflection of the blade.

There was an ambush in the forest. “

The two sergeants quietly took a breath of cool air when they listened, and Lan Ziyi said:

"You're doing a good job, and it's good you found out."

Sergeant 1 asked:

"What now?"

Another sergeant said:

"The thieves don't seem to have spotted us yet, so let's take a detour."

桃追兔 says:

"The thieves are prepared in the forest, how can they not find us? The moonlight flashed just now, and the thieves just accidentally exposed the blades and we were all seen, and we were already seen by the thieves wearing full-body armor. ”

The sergeant asked:

"Then why don't thieves have a motive?"

Lan Ziyi replied:

"The thieves are planning to ambush, we don't have obvious signs of seeing through the thieves, they naturally won't attack, and the thieves' infantry have fought with us again, did they take the initiative to jump out and win?

You all heard the voice. The war on the side of Yuzhou City is not over yet. “

The sergeant asked:

"Then these thieves are not going to attack the city, what are they doing here?"

兰子义 says:

"It may be prepared, after all, it is not once or twice that our Tiger Battalion has raided after the iron cavalry, and the thieves should be afraid of this."

The sergeant asked:

"Then let's take a detour and hurry back to the city to support."

Lan Ziyi replied:

"This is already the front line of thieves, and this is the beginning of support. There is no detour. We'll do it. ”

Then Lan Ziyi whispered:

"You two will just ride back as if you're fine. Go to the army and explain the situation to the other brothers, so that they do not make noise and pretend to be a little bit louder. “

Then he said to the peach and the rabbit:

"I need someone to lead the team as a decoy. You'll go back and pick someone yourself. ”

Peach Rabbit nodded and said:

"Wei Hou rest assured."

Then Lan Ziyi suddenly scolded the two Sergeants of the Tiger Battalion

"Blind your dogs, I was in a hurry to go back to the city to sleep, but you told me that there was movement in the forest ahead, what is the motive? What is going on after watching it for a long time?

I'm not going to be in the queue yet. Delayed my time to go back and whip you. “

====================

Thank you all for your support to me, thank you for your encouragement and help to me in a thousand paper crane bells, thank you

Happy Chinese New Year's Eve to all
