Geng Qi was brave and admired Huang Yi from the bottom of his heart, and was most willing to fight with Huang Yi.
But at this moment, Geng Zhanghua ordered him to keep an eye on Huang Yi and not allow Huang Yi to put himself in danger just to take advantage. Seeing that Huang Yi was preparing to lead everyone to hide in the woods to stage an ambush, he quickly advised:
"Sir, you are not what you used to be. You must not make any mistakes. Let's go back!"
Huang Yi deliberately provoked the general and said, "What's wrong? You've only been a fifth-grade Qianhu official for a few days and you've turned into a death-phobe?"
Geng Qi was not fooled and said with a smile: "Why don't you go back first, hide in the forest with someone under your humble position, and wait for the opportunity to gain some advantage!"
"Hey! That's okay, I won't have to take any more aggressive tactics."
"Hey! How can I not make progress after being with you for a long time?"
At this time, a large group of Guan Ning Army cavalry came over, and Geng Qi shouted: "Brothers, don't be stunned, run quickly."
Huang Yi also knew that the impact of the hundreds or even thousands of fleeing cavalry was so powerful that he had to run away, so he had no choice but to beat his horses and gallop with whips.
Guan Ningjun's horse power could not compare with the good horses selected by Huang Yi and others, and because the horses were tired, Huang Yi and the other ten men were able to escape and sneak into the forest.
The woods in the north are completely different from the tropical rainforests. Once you enter the woods, as long as you don't ride a horse and gallop, you will be safe if you dismount and lead.
A large group of cavalry chased the enemy, and they were careful not to enter the enemy. Moreover, Jiannu did not know the existence of Huang Yi and others.
After entering the forest and walking some distance deeper, Geng Qi said angrily: "No wonder Jian Nu was able to break into the pass and fight to the capital. That Guan Ning army is too cowardly!"
Huang Yi said: "So you all must remember that you must be self-reliant and self-reliant. Don't expect to rely on the Guan Ning Army. I can conclude that the final Guan Ning Army will surrender and become slaves."
"The Guan Ning army surrendered to the slaves? Impossible. They have millions of dollars in salary every year. What can the slaves give them?"
Forehead! It was still early, there were still more than thirteen years, and there was no way to explain it to Geng Qi, so Huang Yi had to end the topic.
He sighed and said: "Alas! It's just my guess. Let's not talk about this. Let's find a place to rest for a while. We will return as soon as Jian Nu retreats."
Geng Qi said: "I'm afraid we have to wait until dark!"
Huang Yi said: "It's dark, it's good! We can help kill a few slaves."
Geng Qi said quickly: "No! Let's not get into trouble. Your safety is the most important thing."
Seeing Geng Qi's dilemma, Zhang Dong also advised him: "Sir, I also think that you should not take risks. There are so many people in the base area, and most of them will have no way of survival without you."
At this moment, people outside the forest were shouting, and not only the Ning army was also heading into the forest, but also many Jian slaves were chasing after them.
Huang Yi smiled and said: "Jiannu is so brave, he actually sent it to his door."
Geng Qidao: "It's definitely not aimed at us. It should be that a senior official of the Ning army was discovered by Jiannu who was being chased in the forest. Let's go further in quickly!"
"Don't leave. There are twenty horses. They can't move fast. We might as well hide and improvise on the spot!"
"Sir, you deliberately stayed here to wait for the opportunity to fight!"
"I estimate that there are not many Jian slaves chasing us, and they may not dare to chase us here. They are all hidden. We will make a decision after seeing the situation."
One of the soldiers brought by Geng Qi had a bad temper and actually interjected: "No matter what his situation is, kill a few of the Jiannu who are chasing him."
Huang Yi said: "Yes, if we go around in the woods, the ten of us can kill at least twenty Jiannu soldiers."
Geng Qi did not dare to quarrel with Huang Yi, so he scolded the soldier who opened his mouth and said, "Geng Jiuliu, shut up. You can take the responsibility if my lord makes a mistake!"
The soldier immediately fell silent.
Huang Yi asked strangely: "You are Geng Qi and he is Geng Jiuliu. Are you both descendants of the Geng family clan in Liaocheng, Shandong?"
"Not all, some were selected from the border troops. Geng Jiuliu is from Yulin. He is strong and skilled with bow and horse!"
Huang Yi joked: "Oh! What would you call the servants who are ranked after one hundred? Are there two hundred and five?"
"No! There is already Geng Ersanjiu now!"
"Uh!" Huang Yi was speechless. He really couldn't understand this pattern of using numbers as names.
Geng Qi said proudly: "The number of fierce soldiers who want to come to my house as servants is probably one or two thousand. We not only select those who are skilled in bow and horse, but also ensure that their family background is innocent."
"Oh! From this we can see that the brothers you brought should be able to fight!"
"Of course!"
"How about we compete later and see who kills more slaves between the three of us and the seven of you!"
The eyes of Geng Jiuliu and the other six servants were shining with eager expressions.
Geng Qi actually wanted to stage an ambush, but he couldn't help himself and had to restrain himself. He had to insist:
"Don't embarrass me, my safety is more important than anything else."
I had seen this forest when I came here. It was very big and could not be seen to the end. The main force of the Hou Jin army had already retreated far away, and it was impossible to send a large number of troops to surround the forest.
Moreover, the Hou Jin Army did not have enough men and horses to surround this mountain forest, and time did not allow them to have time to surround and search.
Because the main force of the Ming army is at the rear, the forward troops may not be more than thirty miles away.
Huang Yi saw that Geng Qi was rigidly following Geng Zhanghua's order not to take the initiative to fight Jiannu, so he had to take a step back and said:
"You arrange for two people to lead all the horses deeper into the forest. We will spread out and wait until our horses are no longer visible, and then we will slowly retreat."
This was not an active killing of the enemy, but a passive defense. Geng Qi had no choice but to order one of his men to lead the horses farther away, and he picked up the Ghost Head Sword to guard Huang Yi.
Huang Yi picked up the crossbow and said to Zhang Dong: "You have to remember, you can't fire a gun unless it is absolutely necessary!"
"Understood, the gunshots are too loud. There are a lot of slaves nearby. Please try not to fire as much as possible." Zhang Dong nodded.
Seeing Geng Qi's bullish eyes, Huang Yi smiled and said: "Don't worry, there are only a few of us, and we will definitely not take the initiative to provoke the slaves. At most, we can shoot a cold arrow."
Geng Qi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Isn't this just provocation?"
"Shh!" Huang Yi signaled to be silent.
Everyone fell silent, and suddenly they heard heavy footsteps coming from far away, and a moment later they heard heavy breathing.
I saw seven or eight soldiers who looked like servants in armor, protecting a disgraced general who ran within twenty paces.
"Chasing, that person must be a high official from the Ming Dynasty!"
"You can see clearly, he should be a general!"
"No, no, he's a deputy general!"
"Whatever general he is, catch him and upgrade him to at least three levels!"
"Listen up to the Ming army in front. You will definitely not be able to escape. Surrender to avoid death!"
"Bah! You dog slaves who have forgotten your ancestors for countless times are ashamed of your ancestors."
"Fuck you! Kill me!"
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..." More than twenty feather arrows shot out.
Only four or five shots were fired back from this side, and seven or eight people continued to run, and they were coming directly in the direction of Huang Yi and Geng Qi.
