第八章 以寡敌众

   
                                          
                                                                  
        本是热闹生平的统万城,走得人畜不剩,静如鬼蜮。                            
        春阳在中天君临无边无际的草原,照得统万有如一片发亮的白玉。                
        三人在成真家先喂饱马儿,把它们牵到街上,整理行装,特别以皮                
囊盛上大量清水,以供马儿在他们逃命时的给养,但又不能负荷过重,                    
收集回来的大批箭矢已是个沉重的负担。如非他们有人马如一的秘法,                    
背着许多东西,三匹神骏绝跑不过颉利的金狼军。                                      
        跋锋寒边整理行囊,边苦笑道:"有人说颉利方面有上万人,有人                 
说有三、四万,更有人说是十万大军,每个说法都不同,照我看该仍该                    
是那千来二千人吧,对吧?"                                                         
        徐子陵把仅余的百多颗铁弹全放进外衣的口袋去道:"他们见到的                 
虽是千来人却误以为是先头部队,所以推估兵力该进万人以上,那晓得                    
颉利只得那么多人追来。"                                                           
寇仲提醒徐子陵道:"陵少勿要把五彩石当作铁弹去喂颉利的金狼                         
军。"                                                                             
        跋锋寒道:"我问的那几个黑水兵,没一个亲眼看到颉利的人,                   
同志他们的都是逃难的草原民族,听说颉利沿途杀人防火,烧掉很多营                    
帐,奸杀不少妇孺。"                                                               
      寇仲双目杀机大盛,狠狠道:"血债血偿,颉利他等着瞧吧!"                      
      徐子陵沉吟道:"少帅你猜香玉山那小子会否在颉利身旁献计                       
呢?只有他才那么明白我们,懂得用这种手段迫我们留下来作战。"                       
      寇仲叹道:"这可能性非常高,香小子实在是我们心腹之患。"                      
      三人同时心生警兆,朝对街瞧去。                                              
      祝玉妍幽灵般从对街的房舍上岳落街心,来到三人之前,裹在连                    
着斗篷的宽敞麻布外袍内,脸覆重纱,淡淡道:"你们要去送死吗?"                      
      跋锋寒微笑道:"我们不去送死,统万的人就必死无疑,又或生                     
不如死。"                                                                         
      祝玉妍冷冷道:"废话!你跋锋寒原非是如此般的蠢货,只是受                     
这两个傻小子的影响,做这种傻事。在大草原上,自古以来这些事每天                    
都在发生,那轮得到你们逐桩去管?"                                                 
      寇仲耸肩道:"其他的不用我们去管,但今次颉利是我们惹回来                     
的,我们可责无旁贷。"                                                             
        徐子陵道:"祝宗主有邪王的消息吗?"                                        
        祝玉妍沉默片刻,缓缓道:"我便搜附近方圆百里之地,仍寻不着                 
他的踪影。"                                                                       
        跋锋寒淡淡道:"他昨晚在这里,还累得我们没一觉好睡。"                      
        祝玉妍失声道:"什么?"                                                    
        即使隔着两重重纱,三人仍感到她魔光大盛的眼神。                            
        寇仲解述一遍,并道:"祝宗主之所以感应不到他,皆因舍利不在                 
他身上。"                                                                         
        祝玉妍冷道:"他总要把舍利取出带走的。你们究竟是和我一起去                 
追他,还是一意坚持寻死路?在大草原上,颉利是从来没有对手的。"                     
        徐子陵叹道:"若我们侥幸不死,定会与宗主合作,除去石之轩。"                
        祝玉妍冷笑道:"你知道哪里找我吗?"                                        
        徐子陵道:"实不相瞒,我们也懂得感应舍利的秘技,否则就不会                 
直追至统万来。"                                                                   
        祝玉妍娇躯微颤道:"这是没有可能的。只有魔门的人始能谙识此                 
术。"                                                                             
        寇仲哈哈笑道:"事实如此,我们何时说过诳语?时间无多,祝宗                 
主请。"                                                                           
    跋锋寒把鞍子装上马背,道:"你老人家最好小心点,石之轩绝不                     
会容我们四人有联手对付他的机会。"                                                 
    祝玉妍柔声道:"奴家正恨不得他肯出来决一死战。"                                
三人同时涌起异样的感觉,祝玉妍从未以这种语调和他们说话。                          
    祝玉妍嘬咀发出尖啸,远方蹄声起,一匹通体雪白的骏马,在长街                    
另一端疾如云快似箭地弛来。                                                        
        这魔门的顶尖高手飘上马背,娇声道:"你们虽是傻瓜,但却是真                 
正的好汉子,奴家佩服。"                                                           
    言罢策马出城,迅速远去。                                                      
    直至蹄声消敛,寇仲苦笑道:"我们是否不折不扣的大傻瓜?"                        
        徐子陵左手探入袋内,指缝夹起四颗铁弹,对这手暗器功夫,他已                
臻收发由心的境界,手印加上螺旋劲,直射回飞,均叫敌人防无可防,                    
避无可避。                                                                        
        寇仲擎起灭日弓,另一手往装在鞍旁的箭筒取箭,正要架箭上弦,                
跋锋寒打出组织的手势道:"是回纥族的战士。"                                        
        寇仲和徐子陵同时想到大明尊教,他们对回纥的认识,只限于此。                
    对方亦看到他们,掣出弓矢,笔直朝他们冲过来。                                  
    寇仲知机地收弓敛箭,表示友好。等看到奔来的三十多骑无不负伤                    
流血,知他们曾经历过激烈的战斗。                                                  
    领头者个子高大,肩膀宽阔厚实,方形的脸盘长着寸许长的连鬓胡                    
须,满脸风尘血汗,浓眉下却有一对与他高颧挺鼻不太相衬修长漂亮的                    
眼睛,身上的战服沾满血和草泥,可是他的眼神仍是那么鉴定和清醒冷                    
静,看样子是二十五、六岁,令人想起神庙内护法的金刚力士。                          
    跋锋寒虎躯一震,以突厥话喝过去道:"来者可否回鹘(丝乞)药                     
罗族时健俟斤之子,战必身先,所向披靡的菩萨?"                                     
    那人勒马停立,在他们丈许前处停下,其从者纷纷停定,显示出精                    
湛的马术。                                                                        
    离他们至少仍有五、六里的火头渐渐消敛,似近尾声。                              
    那人目光灼灼地目视三人,忽然一震道:"跋锋寒!"                                
    跋锋寒欣然道:"正是跋锋寒,我身旁的两位兄弟是来自中土的寇                     
仲和徐子陵,不知菩萨兄曾否耳闻。"旋把两人逐一介绍。                               
    菩萨仰天笑道:"大草原上不知寇仲和徐子陵之名者,哪算得是英                     
雄好汉。顺便通知各位,我菩萨再非时健之子,时健遭奸邪所惑,把我                    
逐出回鹘族。                                                                      
        跋锋寒一呆道:"竟有此事?"                                                
        寇仲一震道:"是否和大明尊教有关?"                                        
        菩萨想不到他能说突厥话,露出赞赏神色,奇道:"少帅竟知道大                 
明尊妖教,且猜个正着。"                                                           
        别头往起火处瞧去,叹道:"时间无多,不若我们找个地方,再喝                 
酒谈话。"                                                                         
        跋锋寒道:"那把火是否颉利的人放的?"                                      
        菩萨双目杀机暴现,狠狠道:"那是土谷浑人的游营,我们赶到时,               
土谷浑人男女老少七十多人全遭毒手,我们一口气尽歼金狼军五十余                      
人,到金狼军一个千人队朝我们迫来,才往这边逃跑。"                                 
        寇仲冷然道:"颉利的残暴,天理难容,菩萨兄请继续上路,我们                 
要和颉利决一死战。"                                                               
        菩萨与众手下同告愕然,露出不能相信的神色,凭他们三人之力,                
去对抗无敌于大草原金狼军的千军万马,等似螳螂挡车,自寻死路。                      
        菩萨皱眉道:"三位不是说笑吧?"                                            
        徐子陵神色坚定的道:"我们非是只逞匹夫之勇,而是必须把颉利                 
牵制道此无定河区,否则从统万逃生的人,将遭土谷浑人同一的命运。"                   
        菩萨肃然起敬,喝道:"好汉子我菩萨今晚就交你们三位朋友,你                 
们的事迹,将会千秋百世的被大草原的人歌颂"                                         
        接着与手下同施敬礼,动作划一整齐,顿时生出"风萧萧兮易水汉,               
壮士一去兮不复还的壮烈气氛。                                                      
        跋锋寒哑然失笑道:"菩萨兄放心,我们必能保命去和你喝酒聊天,               
请吧!"                                                                           
        三人吆喝声中,在中分而开的战士间穿过,朝只剩下火烬余芒的灾                
场赶去。                                                                          
        美丽的大草原变成修罗屠场的劫后情景,十多个帐篷尽成灰烬,人                
骸兽尸散布四处。令人不忍卒睹。                                                    
        远处火把光逐渐迫近,显示金狼军正朝这方向推进。                            
        跋锋寒目注其中一个身首异处的金狼军残骸,叹道:"无论是侵略                 
者还是受害的人,死亡就是死亡,没半点分别,这或者是老天爷唯一公                    
平处。"                                                                           
        寇仲的目光注在不断接近的敌人上,不解道:"颉利和他的人不用                 
休息的吗?就算人能捱得住马儿也要累死。"                                           
        跋锋寒道:"这是颉利名震草原的战略,每迫近战场就把战士分作                 
数组轮番作战,保持在全盛全攻的状态下,令敌对者没片刻休息的时间。                  
此种战术在平野之地功效卓著,配合他派出四处扰敌的小队,所到之处,                  
就象蝗虫般把一切吞噬蚕食。我虽是突厥人,对他这种残暴的手段也引                    
以为耻。"                                                                         
徐子陵道:"难怪菩萨如此痛恨突厥人。"                                              
    跋锋寒道:"直至处罗可汗袭击和抢掠回鹘的部落,回鹘才不肯再                     
当东突厥的走狗,在那时之前,突厥一直通过回鹘控制北方广阔的地                      
区。"                                                                             
    寇仲问道:"但我看菩萨却是个好汉,回鹘究竟在什么地方。"                        
    跋锋寒遥指西北方,答到:"回鹘分为两支,韦鹘分布于独洛河北,                   
另一支乌护则在伊吾之西,大概在天山山脉东段北麓处,两支合起来可                    
战之士达五万之众,是可左右大局的武装力量。现在两支均统一在时健                    
俟斤之下,俟斤等若大汗。照我看菩萨之所以被时健放逐,极可能与菩                    
萨对待颉利的立场有关,颉利得势后,千方百计地与时健修(以下原图                    
不清)                                                                            
                                                                                  
隔远迎头箭击,然后再施且战且逃之术,引得他们穷追不舍,到他们人                    
疲马倦,就可以回马枪杀他们个措手不及。"                                           
    徐子陵道:"小弟有个提议,如可将他们诱至赫连堡,我们不是更                     
可立于不败之地?"                                                                 
    寇仲取出灭日弓,哈哈笑道:"朕就封你作军师,老跋为大将军,                     
如能宰掉颉利,大草原上谁敢不把我们当神佛般膜拜。"                                 
    徐子陵左手握拓木弓,右手上箭,哂道:"去你的少帅国,锋寒兄                     
请看清楚来的是否金狼军,勿要错杀好人。"                                           
    跋锋寒功聚双目,用劲把弓弦拉成满月,柔声道:"在大草原上,                     
小弟从未认错过敌人,子陵可以放心。"                                               
    号角声起,敌骑在不到半里外停住,重整队形,排成阵势。                          
    寇仲讶道:"他们想干什么?"                                                    
    跋锋寒道:"他们猜到是我们,故不敢掉以轻心。"                                  
徐子陵道:"会否是等候其他人呢?"                                                  
    跋锋寒摇头道:"他们即将发动攻势。颉利的金狼军是全功形的军                     
队,充分发挥骑兵灵活的机动性,惯用的手段就是长途奔袭,出奇制胜,                  
正面攻来的是攻中带守的环形阵,真正的杀着是分由两边侧翼攻至的冲                    
锋对,教我们无法集中应付从单一方向冲来的攻势。"                                   
    寇仲咋舌道:"这种草原战术确难以应付,即可以寡击众,以少胜                     
多,何况现在对方人数百倍于我们。"                                                 
        跋锋寒露出一丝充满自信的笑意,道:"若没有人马如一之术,我                 
们今晚必死无疑,现在则大胜可期。兄弟,他们来哩!"                                 
        号角声传遍大地。蹄声轰天而起,敌阵冲出百多骑,以环形的阵势                
潮水般推进迫近,人人弯弓搭箭,蓄势以待。                                          
        敌人中锋阵推进千来步后,号角再起,余下的二百余骑分作两组,                
从左右翼弯出,沿着弧形的推进路线现往外绕,攻击时将变成从左右两                    
侧至乎后侧杀至,纵使他能挡着对方的中锋军,最终亦要变成陷于混战                    
的劣局。                                                                          
        三组敌军,不住调教速度,互相配合,战术之精,叫人叹为观止。                
        徐子陵道:"少帅终亲身体验到大草原骑战的威力。"                            
        跋锋寒喝道:"射人先射马,放箭!"                                          
        箭矢在跋锋寒和寇仲手上连珠发放,正面杀来的敌骑人仰马翻,徐                
子陵的拓木弓射程较近,专寻漉网的敌人招呼。                                        
        正面交锋全线展开。                                                        
        中锋队改变战术,在号角指挥下散开,进攻速度却丝毫不减。                    
        两翼的敌人弛至左右两方,两片乌云般往他们掩至。                            
        眨几下眼的高速下,敌方中锋军近七十骑东倒西歪,可是余下的八                
十骑已越过他们的安全距离,还箭反击。                                              
        跋锋寒大喝道:"走!"                                                      
        三人策马掉头,边走边以箭矢还击。                                          
        敌人保持三组的阵势,衔尾穷追。                                            
        寇仲突然叫道:"不妥!"                                                    
        两人骇然下环目扫射,只见前方和左右草原边际,全是火把的光芒,              
以此推测,敌人的兵力当在万人以上。                                                
        跋锋寒色变道:"我们中伏哩!"                                              
        徐子陵一箭穿破追兵胸膛,大喝道:"趁敌人合围前,我们必须赶                 
到赫连堡。                                                                        
        三人那顾得射杀追兵,全力展开人马如一之术,朝或可令他们有一                
线生机的赫连堡亡命逃去。
