The desertification of the Hexi grassland is relatively serious, although it has not yet become a desert as completely as in later generations, but the ground of the nature of half sand and half loess is soft and abnormal, especially when the rainstorm has just passed, the grassland has almost become a mud pond - the water that has not had time to seep away is accumulated all over the grassland and a depression, looking at it from a distance, it is a piece of Zeguo, the horse steps on it, the mud splashes, the water splashes into a curtain, whether it is the fleeing Li Xian's department, or the large group of enemy horsemen chasing after the tail, can not play the speed of the past three percent, such a slow speedAfter nearly a quarter of an hour of chasing, the distance between the two sides has not changed much, and has remained at about three hundred paces, which makes Li Xian's heart a little anxious - there are still more than two hours before dark, and the stagnant water seeps very fast, and soon after, this grass is dry, it is bound to be more difficult to get rid of the pursuit of the enemy cavalry, if it can't be delayed until dark, the consequences of this battle are afraid that it will not be much better.

It is impossible to count on reinforcements, just because Li Xian returned to Lanzhou in a hurry this time, neither arranged for Gao Xian's troops to escort him, nor did he inform the states and counties along the way, since no one would know that Li Xian was being chased by a large number of enemy horsemen at this time, if he wanted to get out of trouble, Li Xian could only rely on his own strength, and this was obviously not an easy thing, how to deal with this catastrophe became Li Xian's primary consideration - direct escape is definitely not able to escape, in the case of the speed of the horses on both sides is almost the same, after the stagnant water subsides, Enemy cavalry with absolute strength superiority has countless roundabout outflanking tactics to choose from. That is a helpless choice as a last resort, directly responding to the battle is tantamount to suicide, if you really want to fight, you have to choose a favorable position, in view of this, Li Xian's brain is running rapidly, retrieving the terrain along the way.

"Follow me, turn left!"

Li Xian's memory is outstanding, he doesn't need to think too much, he has already made a decision, seeing that the puddle on the grass in front of him has gradually shrunk and smaller, he didn't dare to delay any longer, so he roared, twisted the horse's head, turned sharply, and rushed out to the left, and the guards who followed behind Li Xian saw this, and they didn't dare to slack off, they each rode their horses and turned around, and chased after Li Xian, and the large number of cavalry who were chasing after him also turned one after another, still biting the footsteps of Li Xian's department.

Accelerate, accelerate, and accelerate again, with the dissipation of the stagnant water, the speed of the horses on both sides has increased, although the distance between each other has not changed much, but the large force of cavalry chasing has begun a roundabout tactical action, two cavalry squads with 100 people each separated from the formation, discarding long weapons, shields and other cumbersome things, only holding horizontal knives in hand, one left and one right began to accelerate frantically, three arrows in unison, trying to form a circle of Li Xian's department.

"Abandon the armor!"

Li Xianyu was always observing the actions of the enemy cavalry in the gallop, and when he saw that the enemy cavalry had really adopted a roundabout tactic of dividing his troops, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and he silently calculated the time, and saw that if he ran like this, he would definitely be caught up by the enemy cavalry before he arrived at the destination, so he didn't dare to hesitate much, so he waved his hand and resolutely broke his throat. After a period of chaos, more than 30 armor armor fell to the ground, and under the light load, the horse was three points faster when he boarded, and the distance between the main force of the enemy cavalry was increased to more than 400 steps in an instant, but he still could not get rid of the tail of the two enemy light cavalry on the left and right to chase directly, of course, the two light cavalry could not shorten the distance between the two sides of less than 200 steps, and the situation of chasing and fleeing was fundamentally speaking, there was still not much change at all.

"Abandon the horse and enter the forest!"

After more than half an hour of chasing battle, although Li Xian's department has been lightly armed, but after all, it is a tired soldier who has been driven for several days, although the person is not hindered, the horse under the crotch is already extremely tired, the two enemy light cavalry has rushed to the distance of only more than 80 steps from Li Xian's department, and then there is a chase of Li Xu, Li Xian's department is winged and can not escape the danger of being entangled by the enemy's large force of cavalry, fortunately, at this time Li Xian's department has successfully rushed to a mountain forest, seeing that the destination has arrived, Li Xian's mood is slightly relaxed, But he still didn't dare to be careless, waved his hand, shouted, and jumped off the horse with a saddle first.

Liu Ziming and others are all elite in the army, all of them are skilled in equestrianism, as soon as they saw Li Xian get off the horse, they didn't dare to slack off a little, they took off the air, jumped off the horse, and as soon as they landed, they didn't need an order at all, they had already lined up in a tight formation, followed Li Xian's back, and rushed into the woods, at the same time, but listening to the night lion horse neighing, let go of the four hooves, and led more than 30 empty horses around the forest quickly, and ran away without a trace, and the two light horsemen who were chasing after saw this, For a while, they didn't know whether to chase or not, and they all reined in the galloping war horses outside the forest, and looked at the dark dense forest blankly.

"What's going on, why don't you chase it!"

Just when the two light horsemen were at a loss, the main force of the enemy army had also arrived, and a burly man with a masked face rushed forward on horseback and asked angrily.

"Report, big boss, that thief has taken people to hide in the forest, I am afraid that there will be an ambush, I really dare not ......"

Hearing the scolding, a small leader hurriedly rode forward to meet him, rolled off the saddle, clicked on one knee, and said in a hurry.

"Bastard, ambush fart, that guy fled in embarrassment, where did the ambush come from, a bunch of rubbish!"

As soon as the little leader explained this, the burly man could not help but be furious, and without waiting for the little leader to finish speaking, he scolded and waved his horsewhip, and whipped it fiercely, and with a single blow, the little leader howled miserably and rolled to the ground.

"Ahem."

Without waiting for the burly man to continue his attack, he saw two horses slowly marching out of the cavalry, the first one was dressed in black, wearing a cloak with a mask on his head, and just lightly faked coughing twice, and the burly man stopped his senseless madness, rode his horse back to the front of the cloaker, bowed slightly in some flattery, and said with a smile: "Sun Gong, that guy has fled into the forest, look at this ......"

"No horse, he can't escape, a certain family leads half of the people to wait for the rabbit outside, and you wait for half of the people to enter the forest, life to see people, death to see corpses!"

The cloaked man did not immediately answer the burly man's question, but raised his hand and raised his cloak slightly, and the eyes in the veil stared at the dense forest in a gloomy manner, and after a long time, a cold sentence came out of his teeth.

"Ah, this ......"

The burly man was obviously afraid of the cloaked man, and although he was reluctant to take people into the forest, he did not dare to say a word "no", and was stunned on the spot.

"Huh?"

Seeing that the burly man did not follow the order, the cloaked man was obviously very displeased, but he did not get angry, but just snorted coldly from his nostrils.

"Okay, it's okay for Sha to go, it's just that the martial arts are superb, Sha is afraid that he is not his opponent, if something goes wrong, it's not good, Sun Gong, you see ......"

Being forced by the cloak man like this, the burly man didn't dare to hesitate any longer, but he obviously lacked confidence in his heart, so he frowned and explained.

"Smack!"

The cloaked man did not directly answer the burly man's words, but raised his hand and struck his palm twice, and saw that the figure behind him flickered, and six masked men dressed in black had swept in front of the cloaked man's horse, each bowing and saluting, but did not speak.

"You just take people to search the net, and if you find it, you will immediately warn it, and the six of you will take care of it."

The cloaked man raised his hand weakly, signaling the six men in black to flatten down, and then turned his head to the burly man, and commanded in a cold tone.

"That's very good." The burly man was obviously reluctant to fight with Li Xian in every possible way, this time he only needed to be responsible for the search, and his heart was a little fixed, so he didn't insist more, hugged his fists and received the order, turned around, and shouted at the two teams of light horsemen in front of him: "All dismount, go into the forest with Lao Tzu, listen well, don't be greedy, find the thief's traces, call the police immediately!" ”

"No!"

The burly man gave the order, and the two hundred light horsemen immediately answered the promise loudly, each turned over and got off their horses, and under the leadership of the burly man, they were divided into more than a dozen teams and scattered into the dense forest.

"Your Highness, the thieves have entered the forest!"

The mountains and forests are very large, it is a branch of the Qilian Mountains extending to the west of the river, the vegetation is luxuriant, the beasts are rampant, it is a good place for Tibetans, not to mention Li Xian's entourage of dozens of people, even thousands of troops and horses are enough to accommodate it, if you really want to hide, the enemy cavalry chasing is ten times more, and you don't want to find Li Xian and others, but this is not Li Xian's purpose, not that he is afraid of lack of food, but Li Xian does not have that time to waste, if the matter of Lanzhou is not solved one day, Li Xian will have a day to sleep, therefore, Li Xian led his troops into the forest, didn't go too deep, but hid in the edge area, waiting for the dawn to come, but what came was not the dark, but the enemy's large-scale search of the forest, which made the killing intent in Li Xian's heart involuntarily rise.

"Zi Ming, you lead five people to the left to kill, lonely to the right, Ming Wu leads the rest of the people to defend in situ, once the enemy is engaged, not in love, a little killing, then retreat and assemble, hey, the thief dares to come, let it come and go!"

Li Xian's murderous intentions were together, but he didn't plan to defend passively, so he had a cold face and ordered in a low voice.

"No!"

Liu Ziming is an Orion, he has been used to fighting in the mountains and forests since he was young, and he is not afraid of fighting in the jungle at all, and his answer is very neat.

"Your Highness, you still stay behind, and the last general will ask for orders to lead people to attack and kill the thief."

Not long after Zhang Mingwu was transferred to Li Xian's side, although he had heard a lot of legends about Li Xian's martial arts, he had never seen it with his own eyes.

"Needless to say, you have your own measure, Mingwu just needs to guard this place."

Li Xianyi waved his hand to stop Zhang Mingwu's words, his figure flashed, and the person disappeared like a ghost.

"Your Highness, alas, this ......"

Zhang Mingwu didn't expect Li Xian to say that he would leave, and he was about to shout, but he was afraid of alarming the thieves who entered the forest to search, and his eyes turned red for a while.

"Mingwu, rest assured, no one in this world can keep our Highness, hehe, you just wait to see a good show, Qi Xuan, Wancheng ......, wait with so-and-so, kill the thief!"

Liu Ziming has absolute reverence for Li Xianzhi's ability, and when he saw that Zhang Mingwu was in a hurry, he persuaded with a smile, and then didn't care what Zhang Mingwu's expression was, he ordered five guards with more outstanding skills, and flashed to the left.

"Set up the formation, prepare to kill the thief!"

Seeing that Li Xian and Liu Ziming had left one after another, Zhang Mingwu was full of worries, but he had no choice but to stomp his feet and give orders in a low voice......
