Lan Ziyi waved his whip and pointed forward, and his soldiers immediately dispersed the formation to make up for the front scouts.

A large number of people stood on horseback, joined in a line, with horns and bows in their hands, and bowstrings drawn in circles.

Then everyone released the arrows together with a very tacit understanding, and in a short time, a rain of arrows rushed into the darkness in front of them.

As the whistling of arrows breaking through the air stopped, there were many muffled grunts in the darkness, and the sound of sandbags falling to the ground,

Tao Zhutu skillfully pulled out the arrow from the quiver, and said to Lan Ziyi:

"The thief has fallen."

Lan Ziyi nodded and said:

"The soldiers can shoot a salvo without orders, what a tacit understanding."

Tao Zhulu had already drawn his bow at this time, and was about to release the second round, when he heard the words, he echoed:

"After fighting with the thieves for so long, it's time for the brothers to get used to it."

At this time, the cavalry soldiers had already drawn their bows and arrows, and were ready to fire a second salvo, when the scout just now suddenly said:

"Look! The thieves are leaving. ”

Lan Ziyi's eyes also adapted to the darkness in front of him at this time, and from a distance, those blurred figures were indeed driving in the opposite direction,

Seeing this, Peach Chase Rabbit asked:

"Young Master, what should I do?"

Lan Ziyi put the sword and said:

"I can't let them go, I'm going to be questioned alive."

Then, to everyone's surprise, Lan Ziyi urged the horse to go out of the battle a long way ago, and shouted loudly to the thief:

"Demon thief! I am Lan Ziyi himself, where will I go if I don't come to kill me? “

The soldiers behind Lan Ziyi were taken aback, and they were a live target for thieves to go so far ahead.

Lan Ziyi himself knew that by doing so, he was putting himself in danger, but Lan Ziyi didn't want to let go of these thieves in front of him.

According to the report from the flying cavalry in the camp just now, Lan Ziyi originally thought that the thieves who fled from the various gates should be the remnants of the defeated Heavenly King in the city, but if that was the case, the thieves would have collapsed after seeing Lan Ziyi and them, but the group of scouts in front of Lan Ziyi could still maintain their morale without collapsing under the salvo of thousands of people, this matter is really doubtful.

This gang of thieves and scouts behaves abnormally and has high morale, their status in the thief army must not be low, if they can catch the mouth, then there must be a lot of news from the interrogation.

Lan Ziyi went out of the battle, and he fought with the attention of the tiger, even if the thief couldn't come and go, he could drag the thief for a while, and let Tao Zhuhu and Li Guangzhong, who were surrounded by the two wings, go further.

But to Lan Ziyi's surprise, the black shadow in front of him heard that Lan Ziyi had signed up by himself, not only did he not reflexively kill him, a white-robed ghost, but he quickly stepped up and slipped faster.

Lan Ziyi was shocked when he saw this, and urged the horse to rush forward with a scolding sound.

Behind him, the peach and the rabbit and the peach and the deer reacted when Lan Ziyi made a sound just now, and hurriedly urged him to go immediately to protect Lan Ziyi, but he couldn't stand Lan Ziyi's words and went out of the battle so far without saying hello.

Fortunately, after Lan Ziyi exerted his strength, the main force of the Jihu battalion behind him also urged the horses to follow, and Tao Zhuhu and Li Guangzhong, who had quietly surrounded from both wings just now, saw that the encirclement could not be completed, and they also led their soldiers to chase after the thieves.

In this case, it is impossible for the thief to threaten Lan Ziyi in the morning,

Lan Ziyi thought the same way.

But when people take something for granted, it is usually when something goes wrong, which is especially prominent in Lan Ziyi, who has suffered every dark loss since he left Beijing because of this reason.

Lan Ziyi had a sword in his hand, and he was speeding up on his horse to chase after the thief, when suddenly he felt a throbbing in his chest, as if a giant had pinched his heart, and at the same time, there was a reminder behind him that Peach Chase Deer and Peach Chase Rabbit were exiting together

"Young Master, be careful!"

The voice came out one moment, and the next moment Lan Ziyi's eyes were greeted by a number of riders in the thief team, their hands were already full of horn bows, Lan Ziyi could clearly see the murderous aura in the eyes of the thief rider closest to him and the arrows plucked by his fingertips, the silver sparkling arrows seemed to have sunk into Lan Ziyi's body.

At this time, Lan Ziyi didn't have time to be surprised, he didn't even have time to lie down, so he ran into the thief's arrow head-on.

The thieves' arrows came cold and fast, but fortunately, the thieves' riding and archery skills still maintained a low level, half of these arrows that pounced on Lan Ziyi passed by Lan Ziyi, and most of the remaining arrows were bounced away by Lan Ziyi's bright silver light armor, only two posed a threat to Lan Ziyi, one hit Lan Ziyi's helmet, and hit a crisp sound, one originally pounced on the right side of Lan Ziyi's throat, but was blocked by the armor at the neck, left a deep blood mark on Lan Ziyi's neck and flew aside.

Before the arrow hit Lan Ziyi, Tao Zhulu and Tao Zhutu had already released the arrows, and the two best thieves were shot to death before they could turn back, and then the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion who followed up hurriedly surrounded Lan Ziyi.

Tao Zhutu urged the horse to Lan Ziyi's side, stretched his neck to check the wound on Lan Ziyi's neck, and asked:

"Young Master, are you okay?"

Lan Ziyi reacted to what was happening, and for a moment felt that the pores of his whole body were collectively opened, and cold sweat immediately soaked his clothes,

Lan Ziyi subconsciously reached out and touched the wound on his neck, and a tingling pain came from the right side,

Lan Ziyi looked at the red blood on his hands, and the red light on his face that had been chasing and killing thieves faded in an instant, turning into a seeping white.

Tao Zhulu was next to Lan Ziyima, and said in an almost stern tone:

"Wei Hou! You don't want to die? What if you die, your brothers? “

Lan Ziyi finally broke out in a cold sweat at this time, and his right hand trembled, but his spirit had recovered.

Lan Ziyi smiled:

"Almost died here!"

The thief's counterattack just now almost killed Lan Ziyi, and the soldiers besieging on three sides all fired back with their arrows when they saw this, and in the blink of an eye, most of the thieves had been shot over.

Seeing this, Lan Ziyi immediately shouted loudly:

"Stay alive! I'm going to catch the questioning alive! ”

The soldiers of the Jihu battalion put away their bows and arrows, but only urged the horses to drive away the thieves, except for shooting those thieves who wanted to turn around and release arrows, the soldiers did not release arrows.

The remaining thieves soon discovered the intentions of the officers and soldiers, and these people just beat the horse's butt desperately and ran away desperately.

The two groups of people chased after me like this, racing against each other on the vast land.

Although the soldiers tried to shorten the distance between them and the thieves, the horses on both sides were almost the same, and they still couldn't catch up no matter how much they chased them.

In this way, this gang of thieves took Lan Ziyi and them all the way to Shouchun City, and a group of people ran wildly and rushed into the city.

Lan Ziyi shouted loudly at the gate of Shouchun City:

"Stop!"

The soldiers already had a tendency to slow down when they saw the city wall, and when they heard Lan Ziyi's order, the soldiers hurriedly stopped.

Lan Ziyi looked up at the tall walls of Shouchun City,

The gate in the doorway has been burned to blackened by the thieves, and although the city gate tower is still intact, it looks lifeless,

Behind the walls of the city was the city, but inside the city there was only smoke and dust, and in the distance there seemed to be a dilapidated fire, but that no longer mattered.

Through the gates, you can see the smoke in the urn city, and you can't see anything further inside.

Tao Zhuhu and Li Guangzhong led the team to join forces with Lan Ziyi, Tao Zhuhu rode to Lan Ziyi's side, and said sternly:

"Wei Hou was really too dangerous just now, how could you be like this as the commander of an army?"

Li Guangzhong stepped forward to look at the wound on Lan Ziyi's neck, and without saying anything, he asked:

"Weihou, what should we do? Do you want to go into town? ”

On the side, Tao Zhulu said:

"The situation is unclear, beware of deception."

桃追兔 also says:

"The dozens of thieves I chased just now ran away very weirdly, maybe they were luring us into taking the bait."

Lan Ziyi listened silently to the words of a few people, his eyes were always on the smoke of the urn city, wanting to tear a passage through the thick smoke and enter the city.

After a few people finished speaking, after being silent for a while, Lan Ziyi asked:

"Where's the sergeant who came back to report the news?"

When everyone heard that you look at me, I look at you, no one can answer, and Tao Zhulu whispered to Lan Ziyi:

"Young master, you forgot, you asked him to stay in the camp to rest after going to find Qi Rongxun, you don't have to follow."

Lan Ziyi remembered that there was indeed such a thing,

Then he asked:

"So did the sergeant who came out to scout come with you?"

This time, the sergeants could finally answer Lan Ziyi, and several soldiers urged the horses to squeeze from the crowd to Lan Ziyi, saying:

"What do you command?"

Lan Ziyi asked:

"You see a ship leaving?"

The sergeants clasped their fists and replied:

"It's true, if you walk north to the river from here, you can see the situation on the river.

Although we were far away, we still saw the boats on the river leaving. “

At this time, Tao Zhulu asked:

"Do you want to send someone over and take a look now?"

Lan Ziyi raised his hand to stop the peach chasing deer, and he said:

"It's too late, and when I come and go, I have to run away from a lot of people in the city.

The thieves have burned down the city, but now they can't even hear the barking of dogs, so it can be seen that the thieves have withdrawn, and we can't wait any longer. “

After that, Lan Ziyi said in a slow but firm tone:

"There is no one in the city, there is no sound in the city, the scouts have seen the thieves evacuate by boat, the city must be empty!

Lei Youde is not Zhuge Liang, and I am not Sima Zhongda, so I will not be frightened by such an empty city. “

Saying that, Lan Ziyi pointed to the peach and said:

"Second brother, you take those scouts into the city to have a look, you have to look carefully."

Hearing this, Tao Zhulu just clenched his fists and nodded, and then led the scouts who had just answered into the smoke and dust.

Outside the city, Lan Ziyi and everyone watched as their horses' hooves disappeared into the smoke, and the sound faded away, and then sank into silence like a stone,

Everyone held their breath and listened quietly to the movement in the city, Lan Ziyi swallowed a mouthful of spit nervously,

After a momentary but long suffocating silence, the sound of galloping horses' hooves came out of the city, and the peach deer tore through the smoke and rushed to the gate of the city to stop, and said in a loud voice:

"Come, everyone! There is no ambush in the city! Those thieves are running away! ”

Lan Ziyi finally breathed a sigh of relief, raised his sword and shouted:

"All the soldiers come with me!"

Then the soldiers shouted in unison and followed Lan Ziyi into the city.
