Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 198
When Li Ke saw those boulders earlier, he guessed that they were buried in advance by the Wohan tribe, ready to attack his army.

Because those boulders stopped in front of the bushes in the dense forest, it really didn't look good.

He looked at the position of the boulders and realized that if the boulders were pushed down, there would be no patches of woods to stop them and they would roll all the way into the valley.

All right, how could there be these boulders stopped halfway up the mountain?

There is only one explanation, which was set up by Wohan Taiwanese.

Because the mountain is too gentle, and the higher the king, the denser the trees, so these boulders cannot be pre-set too far away.

So Li Ke can easily observe.

At that time, he concluded that the enemy must have detected his whereabouts in advance, so he ordered his tribe to go into the mountains to hide and send people to ambush.

But now that he has traveled so far and is about to go out of the range of the boulder, it is really unreasonable for the opponent not to launch a surprise attack.

After walking for a while, Li Ke was already wondering if he was too sensitive.

He beat his horse and stopped, and wanted to order the cavalry to stop first, and wait for him to go forward again.

At this moment, there seemed to be a strange sound coming from the mountain, Li Ke was overjoyed, and quickly looked to the right.

Sure enough, the boulders on the mountain had already rolled down in pieces, and the momentum was astonishing.

Behind the big rocks, there were still many small black dots rushing downwards, which were obviously members of the Wohan tribe ambushing them.

At this time, the cavalry was already in a commotion.

Li Ke immediately ordered the troops to turn their horses around and prepare to evacuate.

He was in no hurry to give orders. The boulder was still some distance away. With the speed of the cavalry, he could easily avoid it.

The purpose of this trip was to lure the enemy out of the valley, so he naturally had to wait for the enemy to charge closer to give him hope of catching him before he set out to escape.

Some of the cavalry couldn't hold back anymore, and looked towards Li Ke from time to time.

Li Ke raised his hand and shouted "get ready", but still did not give the order to escape.

When the boulders rolled closer, the figures of the tribesmen could be seen clearly.

Li Ke could already see them charging down with swords, guns and round shields in their hands, wearing animal skin aprons.

At this time, Li Ke made a decisive decision, quickly waved his hand downwards, and shouted: "Withdraw!"

The cavalry had been waiting impatiently before, and at this moment an order was given, and the large troops quickly withdrew to the rear.

Li Ke also rode his horse and fled, watching the situation behind him from time to time.

Although these tribal people looked fierce, their fighting skills were really weak.

He clearly saw his own cavalry coming, and he had to prepare rocks to attack.

With the gentleness of the valley and the density of trees on the mountain, it is obviously impossible to use the rocks to roll down.

Now, these boulders are rolling down rumblingly, followed by a group of screaming savages, the momentum is scary.

But in fact, if they hadn't waited deliberately, they might not even be able to touch their own shadow.

After fleeing for a while, seeing that the big stone was no longer a threat, Li Ke simply ordered the cavalry to slow down and wait for a while for the pursuers.

This is difficult for the cavalry, it is easy to let them sprint hard, but it is not fun to tell them to rush and slow down.

Besides, the shocking sound from the boulder has startled the horses, and the horses are excited, so it is not easy for them to slow down.

Going a little further, Li Ke could already see the cavalry troop deliberately departing from the mountain and rushing towards the south side.

He could already guess in his heart that there should be someone in front of him, and the cavalry general led the army to make a detour to the south to avoid the obstruction.

At this time, the cavalry troops had completely thrown off the pursuers behind by Xu Yuan.

Li Ke couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, the kitten's fishing trick was really hard to control.

Fortunately, there are still enemies blocking the robbery ahead, if they can be lured out of the valley, it will be considered a harvest.

The army went all the way to the south, and Li Ke could already see another group of people rushing towards the cavalry on the north side of the front.

Li Ke thought in his heart that these people should come to block him.

This group of people were all chasing on foot, only the leader was riding a brown and black war horse.

He roughly estimated that there were about 8 to [-] people in this army.

According to this number of people, if the valley is not too wide, it can block the retreat of our own cavalry.

Li Ke urged the horse a little, speeding up, and soon, the cavalry troop bypassed the encirclement.

"Everyone, slow down and don't leave them too far behind!"

Li Ke reminded loudly.

He was the first to rein in and slow down a bit.

At this time, he could still see a large number of Wohan people chasing him in the rear, and the weapons in their hands could be seen clearly, but the equipment on their bodies was really not that good, they were all hand-sewn cloth shirts and leather jackets.

These clothes are enough to keep out the cold, but they are really not good enough for fighting.

Li Ke could already see the young man who was riding first. He was holding a long bow in his hand, and he was bending the bow and aiming an arrow at him.

Judging from his posture, he looks quite impressive.

The sharp arrow has already been released, but maybe the bow in his hand is really bad, the speed of the bow and arrow is not fast.

Li Ke chuckled, waved Fang Tian's painted halberd, and blocked the arrow.

He also deliberately swaggered the halberd in his hand backwards to tease the other party's emotions and lure the other party to chase after him.

But his wishful thinking was miscalculated again, and the clansman on the horse had reined in his horse and stopped.

He raised his hand and shouted to the people behind him, and those who were chasing him on foot also stopped.

Disappointed, Li Ke simply reined in his horse and turned around to look back.

The man was not stupid. He just waved his hand and asked the tribesmen to shoot arrows at Li Ke, but he stopped chasing him.

Li Ke felt a chill in his heart, the strategy of luring the enemy this time was a complete failure.

He was so frustrated that he didn't want to run away anymore, he only rode his horse Yoyo to keep a distance, showing off to the opposite side.

At this time, the cavalry had completely escaped from the valley, far away from Li Kexu.

But even if he was alone with no support, the people from the Wohan tribe on the opposite side would no longer pursue him.

Li Ke had no choice but to give up the plan, beat Ma Youyou and left the valley.

After exiting the valley, Ma Liuzhi and others rushed up.

"Your Highness, didn't you say that someone chased you out?"

Ma Liuzhi looked impatient, and the steel knife at his waist was sharpened.

Li Ke shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile: "When they chased to the edge of the valley, they stopped chasing them, no matter how much I instigated them, they stopped chasing them.

"what?"

Ma Liuzhi collapsed and was discouraged.

At this time, Gu Wushang had to come forward: "Your Highness, do you want... I will take the special forces in on foot? The other party must have seen the valley and knew that they could not catch up with you cavalry, so they simply gave up..."

Li Ke shook his head. The number of special forces is too small, and the other party probably won't send a large army to chase them.

If the infantry go in, it is possible to lure their main force to chase them out.

only……

It was too dangerous for infantry to go in—the enemy had boulders on the hills, and cavalry could escape them, but infantry could not.

Moreover, it would be too deliberate to send infantry into the valley just after he "escaped". The enemy should be able to see his intentions.

"That's it!"

Li Ke waved his hand: "Let's go back to Daying first! Think about it later..."
