Chapter 35: The Former Wolf and the Tiger
The autumn wind wrapped in the night wind woke Ma Yue from his light sleep, and subconsciously suddenly touched the handle of the knife and pulled out half of it, and looked around the surrounding environment to breathe a sigh of relief. Wrapped tightly in his leather jacket, he brushed a handful of dew from the grass and wiped it on his face, and then he felt a little sober.
Dongfang was already a little pale, looking at the young man who was sleeping crookedly on his side, he hooked the corners of his mouth, and gently woke up Guan Yuma on his side, he knew that he was going to start hunting and chasing again.
Ambushed three scout squads one after another, and everyone's weapons and equipment were almost replaced, and the long knives with curly blades were thrown aside by them, and some even replaced them with bronze arc knives that they had taken from the Xianbei scouts. All the men were equipped with leather armor, and Ma Yue climbed onto the horses with four ring knives on his back, and he seemed to have become accustomed to this kind of life.
The hooves of horses roared violently on all sides of the path, dozens of sharp arrows shot from afar, and the neighing of horses under everyone's crotches was almost uncontrollable.
"Enemy attack!"
Looking at the flying arrows and horses, he almost instinctively reacted and hid his body under the horse's belly, and at the same time shouted out the enemy attack, and then the fastest reaction was Ma Yue.
Can a man's cry be faster than a bow and arrow?
Of course, the sound is faster than the bow and arrow, but many people do not react.
At a distance of nearly 100 paces, the throwing arrows made a 'boom' sound on the leather armor, and although most of them missed, there were still nearly ten people who were hit by the arrows. Fortunately, everyone was equipped with leather armor, and the arrow had no strength to penetrate the leather armor, leaving only a shallow wound.
The attack was not just a wave of arrows, and then a shout suddenly erupted in the forest and on both sides, and hundreds of Xianbei cavalry had already surrounded everyone.
Don't be beaten, turn around and run away!
This was a quick reaction in Ma Yue's head, so many enemies suddenly appeared and almost made him confused, and the expressions of the people around him were probably full of horror like him. Time seemed to pass very slowly, and at this time, Ma Yue actually saw many different expressions in the time he shook his head.
Guan Yu's eyes, which had been used to squinting for a long time, widened suddenly, and his nose widened and he gasped.
The horse played out from under the horse's belly and stood on the horse, clenching his teeth, his hand holding the hilt of the knife behind his back, and the long knife was already halfway out of the sheath. Cheng Huan's mouth was wide open, and time froze in his chaotic expression, dragging the horse and turning his head, wanting to turn around and run away.
Then, Ma Yue's pupils shrank, and his eyes passed through the chaotic crowd to see a group of cavalry rushing towards them at the back of the road when they came!
The rare brain regained its clarity, this is an ambush that has been in ambush for a long time, the Xianbei people have already discovered their team, deliberately set up an ambush again, relying on the number of people to set up an ambush on all sides to wipe them out, if it is such a careful ambush, then the rear must be a dead end, people's instincts are frightened and then turn their heads and run away, if it is Ma Yue, he will definitely let Guan Yu lead people to set up an ambush behind, he can figure out this problem, let alone the enemy.
"There is an ambush behind, follow me forward to break through them!"
Drawing his long knife, Ma Yue let out the biggest roar in his life.
Ma Yu carried a long knife and walked side by side with him, Guan Yu came back to his senses and pulled Cheng Huan's reins and rushed up, followed by the Qiang people who reacted...
Ma Yue's ears couldn't hear any sound, the arc knife of the Xianbei slave slashed on his body as if he didn't feel it, and the long knife he swung after cutting over the two enemies at the front of his line of sight became purposeless, Guan Yu taught his martial arts at this time as if it didn't make any sense, he only had one thought in his head, rush out!
Rush out!
This life is almost entirely soaked in blood.
People's perceptions will slowly change with experience, and for Ma Yue, this change came too quickly and too suddenly. In just two years, this era has shaped him from a cowardly child who only dares to kill chickens to a wicked boy who has gone deep into the war zone and is full of scars. Until now, he remembers clearly the conversation between Guan Yu who left home and hid in the ruined temple after tying Pang De in his courtyard three years ago, but unfortunately, it was only an ideal state. We never know what the future holds, what kind of dolls the world will pinch us into for fate to admire.
Guan Yu said at that time, San Lang, you are a scholar, don't use weapons, I will kill your enemy.
But in the end, this chaotic world does not allow Ma Yue to be a wise man who can save the overall situation by only using his brains behind the scenes. He didn't have a decent family background, he didn't have a cloud of fierce generals to follow, and he didn't have hundreds of people for him to drive and listen to his orders. Most of the only thing he has is that the two brothers have struggled for more than ten years to give him the ability to take more than 30 people to the frontier with him now, but there is really no more.
Even if there are more than 30 people, only Ma Yu and Guan Yu are their own people in the real sense, and the others are just on the same road, maybe Ma Yue can gain their favor and even loyalty if he works harder, but this is a little difficult for him now. It is difficult to lead, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, there is no accident in a short period of time, he is the leader of this team, he must be responsible for everything in this team. Safety, casualties, morale, food, and equipment all have to be found by him, and they are all within his responsibility, whether he is willing to bear them or not.
Everything needs to be managed by him, treating everyone as his own hands and feet, treating everything with his heart, and being tense at any time in order to live with peace of mind.
Because of this, he must hold the sword with his own hands, and he must fight first in order to gain the respect and love of others. He is very tired, he was a very ordinary and ordinary little person in his previous life, he never spoke very loudly, he had no confidence, he was very polite and kind, and his light and light personality was like a bubble floating around, so light that people forgot it at a glance. However, creation makes people live in troubled times in this life, and all they see everywhere they go is the suffering of the people's livelihood, and the war is chaotic.
In order to protect himself, he clenched the weapon in his hand again and again, even if he was scared and trembled, he never took a step back, he is not a masterpiece, whether in his previous life or in this life, he does not seem to be the kind of person who can succeed, if he was born in a civilian home in the south, maybe he will also move with his family again and again with the troubled times, and he will be exiled again and again, just to find a place to avoid trouble.
He has no right to choose, he was born in an extraordinary family, his brother will be a warlord, and his nephew will also be a fierce general who will be famous all over the world, not to mention that God will also send Guan Yu and other powerful gods of war in China to his side to protect him.
Ma Yue has nothing to complain about, we can't blame the creation of people, but at least we have the ability to make ourselves better people after putting in the effort, not for success, but for the tide of fate to change the direction of the tide. Instead of living a comfortable life under the hard work and hard work of others, it is better to be the one who pays more.
I will take you to your family.
I will rescue my brother from the Xianbei people.
I will make a difference in the lives of those around me.
I will make myself stronger and protect more people.
I will...... Stay alive.
