Chapter 499 Xiao Li Guang He Guan

After receiving Gao Xianzhi's order, He Guan had already taken advantage of the chaos to escape from Tanrose City. But in the endless steppe, he simply had nowhere to hide his figure. So behind him, inevitably followed by a large group of tails. Bows and arrows rained down on his back.

In the past, he would have had to slow down his horse and make several maneuvers on horseback. However, with the rubber lining, even if the armor is shot through, as long as it is not severely injured at close range, it will basically not hurt the flesh and skin.

Of course, as in the morning, in the face of a close attack by the soldiers of the Kazakh Khanate, it is inevitable that there will be a large number of casualties. This should be the heaviest loss suffered by the army of the Great Viet Empire since the beginning of the Western Front.

If you have to investigate the reason, it can only be said that the coach's estimate of the opponent's strength is not in place. The war began so quickly that many generals had no fundamental understanding of the true strength of the country in front of them. If you control millions of square kilometers of territory, how can there be 300,000 people who control the strings? At that time, the Xiongnu dared to claim to be one million, and in fact it would not be less than 500,000. The Great Liao Empire, which he He Guan was familiar with, could raise 700,000 heavy troops to fight the Jurchens in the final battle even at the last moment of the empire's decline.

It should not be considered that the Kazakh Khanate had only 150,000 cavalry. But who is to blame for this? Didn't the generals know how to find out about the enemy before going to war? I'm afraid they're going to do these things reflexively. But the Emperor, in his eagerness to expand, did not give them time to do so.

Regardless, Talas hasn't fallen yet. The victory of the whole battle has not yet left the palm of their hands. At least, He Guan still has great confidence in Li Siye. It's just that he is not very confident that he will be able to see Li Siye alive.

According to common sense, Gao Xianzhi and Li Siye can get in touch through wireless communication devices, and there is no need to exclude this messenger. However, there was an extreme shortage of relevant talents in the seventeenth century. The cultural level of the indigenous soldiers who had just joined the army was generally close to zero, which made the person in charge of radio training very distressed. The few geniuses were also snatched away by the emperor's favorites. is like Li Siye, who only has a fate that cannot be grabbed.

However, Guo Kan's house, relying on the emperor's favor, rushed in front of the general of the zodiac and took away several communication soldiers. At that time, he was clamoring that it was a holy decree, so no one dared to stop him, but the records in the cabinet showed that the time of the relevant holy decree fully proved that the decree was reissued later.

However, it can be regarded as Guo Kan's ability to let the emperor come out and wipe his buttocks.

With a "poof", another feathered arrow plunged into his back, and the soldiers chasing him immediately let out a cheer. However, when they saw him still lying on the horse's back, their cheers immediately turned to discouragement. This is not the first time this has happened. It's just that the Kazakh cavalry didn't mean to give up the pursuit at all.

If this continues, He Guan thinks that he will definitely not be able to escape the enemy's crash. Because the horses that sat down were already showing signs of fatigue, and the other party had plenty of time to prepare, almost everyone brought three horses. So now they can still maintain a fast speed.

He Guan now desperately needs a respite. Staying on a horse for a long time, others can't stand it. After all, it is not a person who has lived on horseback since childhood. Coupled with the general lack of horses in the Song Dynasty, as a general of the Northern Song Dynasty in his previous life, it was not uncommon for him to get the opportunity to train horses based on his social status, but if he compared various dynasties horizontally, it was still quite rare.

At this time, the opportunity for He Guan came.

Not far away, a clear river lay quietly on the grassland, surrounded by deep reeds, creating a good hiding place for him.

But he still had one more thing to do, and that was to take out the closest pursuers to him so that he could gain time to hide.

But it's not a difficult thing for him. It may be difficult to get off the horse, but when you get off the horse, the problem becomes much easier.

In the previous pursuit process, the reason why he did not choose to dismount and fight was because there were pursuers behind the pursuers. He stopped to shorten the distance of the follow-up pursuers. However, the situation is different now, and there is a good hiding place behind him.

So, the Kazakh cavalry was surprised to find that their prey actually stopped. Having chased on the grassland since childhood, they have never seen a prey dare to stop and flee for their lives under their pursuit. Even if you are seriously injured, it is only right that you will lose the last strength and continue to flee.

However, the prey not only stopped running for its life, but also showed his claws to the hunters.

He poured the bow in his hand, although he did not have the skill of Wang Sunchen's arrows, but Wang Sunchen's quasi-head, I am afraid that he still can't hold the table in front of him.

Bows and arrows, the earliest long-range strike weapons, have historically been used in only two ways. One of them was Wang Sunsin's kind of shooting, which shot enough arrows in a short period of time to make it difficult for the enemy to parry. But this kind is not the majority after all, and more people are like He Guan, pursuing the strength and accuracy of each arrow. Although Wang Sunchen's ability to arrange flowers between his eyebrows cannot be said to be inaccurate with his bow and arrow, He Guan's ability is more characteristic of He Guan.

I saw him take the arrow in his hand, the bow pulled the full moon, and with a "hum" sound, the bow and arrow flew out in an instant, and the shining arrow shone with the water not far away, clear and cold. A "poof" sound burrowed into the body of a cavalryman. However, this is not the end of the story. The arrow burrowed out of the horseman's body again, and the shiny arrow, though covered in blood, was not much sharper. After an instant, it plunged into the body of another cavalryman.

"Ahh A scream, as if there was an echo, was repeated by the person behind him. Then, the people around him also let out an "ah", but it was supposed to be a scream of horror. I didn't expect this prey to be so powerful. The ability to kill two birds with one stone is definitely not something that ordinary people can learn.

However, of course, there were also smart people among the pursuers, and everyone could see that this man was sent by the defenders of Talas to ask for help. It must not be easy to think about kung fu, otherwise it would not be able to take on such a heavy responsibility. So when they were chasing just now, these individuals were in the second half of the first echelon, and now He Guan had dismounted from his horse and lost the advantage of maneuvering, while the pursuers in the front row were frightened by He Guan's magic arrow, and they didn't dare to step forward at all. Then for this group of smart people who are plugged in later, the opportunity that belongs to them has come.

So they rushed forward non-stop, for a stationary target, the cavalry had to do a very simple thing, that is, raise their knives horizontally, without making any slashing movements, just rely on their speed advantage to cut the enemy's throat.

However, He Guan will not be so simple as to be caught. For a person who is extremely afraid of death, practicing a flashing and moving body is naturally the first need to save his life. So after a number of cavalry cut down, the last person fell for He Guan's calculations. I saw that after he dodged the opponent's attack with an iron plate bridge, his body was like a spring, and it bounced up quickly, and the other party never expected that at this moment of lightning, he would have an extra bow and arrow in his hand.

However, he did not mean to draw the bow and wind it, but instead of a sword, he used an arrow instead of a sword, and pierced directly into the enemy's chest.

The cavalryman screamed, rolled over and fell to his death. He Guan rolled forward to his side, pulled out the arrow on his chest, pulled his bow and wound it, and shot it again at the pursuers who were about to slow down and turn around and charge again.

Another pair to wear.

If it was a coincidence just now, will anyone still be holding a fluke mentality?

He Guan bent his bow and arrows again at this time, his aiming time was relatively long, if Wang Sunchen was standing here, this group of people would probably have finished playing at this time. But his speed was not so fast, but he simply slowed down, looked for a better angle, and shot an arrow, and two more fell off their horses.

The people around him were all shocked, and no one dared to charge at him at this moment, and they were ready to flee from the road. But how could He Guan let them go? If he wants to hide in the neighborhood and let them go, won't that reveal his location?

So two or three more feathered arrows flew out, and even six or seven people fell off their horses. However, his aiming speed was still too slow, and although his effective range was much greater than that of Wang Sunsin, he still allowed the two enemies to escape.

Anyway, he needs a place to rest for a while now. The enemy's war horse that has lost its owner can also become his mount, and in this escape career, it can become a spare tire for his mobile power.

So he picked three of the strongest horses, and went out into the deep reeds, and only when his feet were in the water did he take a few steps back, and in spite of the mud that was all over the ground, he sat down on the ground, gasping for breath.

I don't know if it's because of the weather, or if I'm too tired. He Guan actually fell asleep slowly.

It wasn't until the night that he woke up faintly. The reins in his hand were still clenched tightly, but fortunately the three life-saving horses were not allowed to escape. However, He Guan looked at their eyes and seemed to have begun to be frightened.

This kind of restlessness is not a good thing. Soon, the surrounding ground began to shake violently.

He Guan lay on the ground and listened, and immediately wailed in his heart, there were about a thousand people surrounded by him. This is far from something he can deal with alone.

This means that once you are discovered, even if you can kill three or five enemies, you will not be able to escape their encirclement.

He Guan sighed. Originally, I thought that Gao Xianzhi let him come out to ventilate and report the news, because he was quite diligent in his usual military training, and gave himself a chance to escape. Unexpectedly, this little life may have to be explained here.

As he sighed, his original mount walked up to him and snorted twice. Frightened, she hurriedly covered the beast so as not to reveal her whereabouts.

It wasn't until he confirmed that no one around heard the movement here that He Guan slowly calmed down. However, he was stunned to find that the beast in front of him was looking at him with a look of contempt.

"What do you see? Aren't you afraid of death? He Guan just scolded this sentence in a low voice, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, yes, how could he forget the guy in front of him.

So, He Guan pulled out a bright short knife and made all three war horses bloom on their buttocks, so after a few miserable neighs. All the pursuers noticed that three horses were galloping in the reeds not far away.

"Chase!"

A group of people shouted, chasing in the direction of the horses fleeing. Only He Guan was left to hide in the distance and steal the fun.

But he soon became unhappy. On a whim, he scratched all three horses, and now he can only look for Li Siye's army on foot.

Soon after his pursuers left, he began to march in the opposite direction, but not long after he had gone, he was frightened by a beast hiding in the reeds.

"Tiger? No way. He Guan couldn't help but scream, but fortunately, no one around him noticed his movements.

However, the tiger seemed to move. He didn't see very clearly in the night, but it was obvious that He Guan, who had just escaped the enemy's pursuit, was about to face the attack of the tiger again.

He didn't want the beast's roar to lure back the pursuers who had just left. He didn't want to die.

So he gritted his teeth, he couldn't clean up more than a thousand pursuers, and a big worm might still be okay. So he opened his bow and arrows like lightning, and after roughly aiming, he sent the bow and arrows out with all his strength.

With a pop, the bow and arrow hit the tiger fiercely, but He Guan heard it at the first time, and the sound was a little wrong.

So he tentatively looked ahead, and hey, it was just a stone. No wonder it wasn't the sound of a bow and arrow entering the flesh just now. I think back then, General Fei Li Guang also had similar deeds, but now he has a problem even saving his own life, so don't say that General Fei is second.

At this time, of course, He Guan would not have thought that many years later, this matter would spread among the army, and it would also win him the reputation of Xiao Li Guang.

But that's all for later, and now his top priority should be how to save his life. Then, he was able to find a rescue for Gao Xianzhi alive.

Perhaps the sky had eyes, and a group of cavalry appeared in front of him. At first, He Guan was worried that it was Kazakh cavalry, but soon he noticed the sound of a truck engine not far away.

There will be no second regime in this world that can use trucks. (To be continued.) )
