"No, the other party is not a fool. Although we broke out, if I guess correctly, the pursuers will arrive within a cup of tea at most!"
"If we were on the road, we wouldn't even have a chance to run."
"And on this mountain road, not only can we prevent the cavalry's charge, but we even have the opportunity to rely on your strength to fight back."
"We will also have some of the most basic ability to fight back."
Chen Mo saw Wang Dao's worry and slowly explained.
After listening to Chen Mo's words, Wang Dao and Village Chief Liu also felt that it made sense.
Although it is very hard, if analyzed in this way, it is more beneficial for them to attack in the mountains and forests.
"In this case, let's leave now! Try to get out of this place of trouble before reinforcements arrive!" Li Yang suggested.
Several people agreed, and then headed towards the west side of Bluestone City, carefully concealing their movements and heading towards the village.
"Hahaha, these low-grade rebels want to escape, it's just a fantasy!"
From the west side of Bluestone City, Zhao Liang came with his army, his eyes shining with excitement!
This is the first time he has led troops out of the city to fight alone. There are a lot of things going on in the city now, and he doesn't even have a lieutenant for this trip.
But he didn't care. There was only one thing he was thinking about right now, and that was that he was the only one going out this time.
Doesn't this mean that as long as he leads his troops to behead Chen Mo and others or capture them alive, he will be able to accomplish a great feat this time!
Thinking of this, Zhao Liang's eyes became even hotter, almost dripping with water.
"Search them for me, we must not let them leave!" Zhao Liang ordered with a roar.
"Here!"
The guards beside Zhao Liang agreed loudly, and then quickly dispersed in all directions.
"Hey, Li Yang, Li Yang, let me see where you are going this time!"
"As long as you are captured, our goal this time will be completely accomplished!"
"Not only will you be able to do business then, but you will even be rewarded by His Majesty, hahaha!"
Zhao Liang was elated, and when he thought about the beautiful life in the future, he felt full of energy.
"Come here! Pass the order, the entire army will spread out, form a semi-encirclement and start searching forward."
“Especially in mountainous areas, you must explore carefully and don’t be careless!”
"Whoever discovers the fugitive will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver, captain of the Qingqi!"
"Whoever kills the fugitive will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold and the position of captain of thousands!"
Orders were passed down one by one, and the soldiers took action one after another. They occupied the hillsides of various mountains, looking for traces of the enemy.
…
"Be careful, the other party's pursuers have already arrived."
In the mountains, Li Yang turned to look at the cavalry unit that appeared on the plain, and his expression became extremely serious.
On the left and right sides of the cavalry, there were more than two hundred crossbowmen armed with weapons. Their quivers contained sharp steel needles, ready to shoot the enemy at any time.
In front of the cavalry were fifty chariots, each carrying a heavy crossbow, which was obviously extremely powerful.
"Damn it, there are so many people. If their shape is revealed, we may not be able to break through."
Li Yang felt a deep sense of solemnity in his heart.
"Don't panic, I think we have a better chance of escaping this time."
But at this moment, Chen Mo's voice came from beside him.
He looked up at Chen Mo and saw a touch of indifference and wisdom in Chen Mo's eyes.
"Oh? I wonder why Mr. Chen said this?"
Li Yang also became interested and asked with a smile.
He knew that Chen Mo had already guessed his identity as the general sent by the imperial court to attack the city, so he didn't have to pretend anything in front of Chen Mo, and now was the best time to test Chen Mo's ability.
Let's see if this person is really capable, or if he is just an empty name.
If it was the latter, he wouldn't mind killing this guy.
After all, this is something the emperor personally ordered. If he messes up, his black hat will definitely not be saved, and there is a high probability that he will lose his life.
"There are more than 3,000 cavalrymen. Under normal circumstances, it would be extremely difficult to escape as the general said."
"But General, please look."
As he spoke, Chen Mo pointed to the giant crossbow in the open space that could only be moved by the pull of five horses.
"This thing is a powerful siege weapon, but if we are just chasing a few of us, this thing will not only be useless, but it will also hinder them!"
"So, this kind of crossbow is useless!"
After Chen Mo finished speaking, a flash of surprise flashed between Li Yang's eyebrows.
Chen Mo's words were indeed true, and he also admitted that Chen Mo was right.
"This situation shows that the people who came to arrest us this time are either newcomers without any experience in leading troops, or they want to uproot us directly!"
"And combined with the current situation in Bluestone City, there is a high probability that it is the first situation I mentioned."
"So what we need to do now is to get out of here as quickly as possible before they find us!"
"Under the drag of this heavy object, it would be an extremely time-consuming and energy-consuming move for the other party to discover us and form an encirclement."
"That's why I will say below that our probability of escape this time has greatly increased."
After finishing speaking, Chen Mo waved his sleeves and saluted Li Yang: "General, do you think what I said is reasonable?"
Li Yang looked at Chen Mo who bowed his head and saluted, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Dazhi, everything Mr. Chen said makes sense."
Looking at Chen Mo, Li Yang became more and more happy.
It just so happens that he still needs a think tank for this march, wouldn't he send it to him?
And now that the situation in the imperial court is chaotic, he also needs to cultivate his own power as soon as possible.
After getting in touch with him during this period, he found that Chen Mo had a very good mind, knew how to measure things, was neither humble nor overbearing, and was a good young man worth cultivating.
Moreover, Chen Mo's psychological quality is extremely strong, and he also performed extremely well in this operation.
"Li thanked the young master for telling me!"
Li Yang raised his hand to Chen Mo, and then said: "Since Master Chen said that we can successfully get rid of the enemy, then let's act according to Master Chen's plan!"
"As you command!"
Chen Mo took the order, turned to the people behind him and said: "Everyone, we must step up our pace now!"
"I know this section of the road is difficult to walk, but as long as we climb over this low mountain, Chen assures everyone, it will take half an hour at the earliest before the other party can find us."
"This is enough time for us to travel a long distance."
Hearing Chen Mo's words, the expressions of everyone around him also changed slightly.
This short mountain is only about 200 meters long. As long as they work harder, they can climb over this mountain quickly.
For martial arts people like them, it is basically no problem to find a place to hide after climbing over the mountain.
