Chapter 361: The Chase in the Northern Plains (Part II)

At the end of the day, the sun finally poked its head out of the horizon, and the golden sunlight shot through the sea of fog like a sharp arrow, and the thick fog like milk churned endlessly, and it had gradually faded, and after a while, only a thin haze like a light veil remained, and as far as the eye could see, it was already a hundred steps away, and the two cavalry armies chasing and fleeing could finally faintly see each other's figures, and there was no doubt that the mood of the two sides was completely different.

"Chase, catch up, kill a thief, reward a hundred times, sons, take the reward!"

Seeing that Li Xian and his party were within reach, Zhao Zhaoden became excited, pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist, pointed forward hard, shouted, and rushed forward in the first place.

"Kill! The thief is gone! ”

"Take the reward!"

"Chase, don't go thief!"

……

Hundred is not a small number, all the cavalry are from the military family, in addition to the turn to be a soldier can have some insignificant allowances, weekdays at home can only rely on fifty acres of fields to eat, this time the yield per mu is not as high as the output of thousands of catties in later generations, tired and tired to work down, a year can save a ten, eight times, it is already a big harvest year, this listen to kill one person can get as many as a hundred, how can there not be brave, one by one screaming and galloping wildly, like a raging wave towards the British palace and a group of people rushed to kill the past, The speed was extremely fast, and the distance between the two sides was shortened to less than sixty paces in an instant, and many cavalrymen were already grabbing bows in their hands, waiting to get closer to ten paces more, and give the "thieves" in front of them a baptism of arrows.

"Your Highness, the thief army is catching up, sixty paces away!"

Although Li Xian did not look back, he had his own observation sentry to come to clarify the enemy's situation, and after hearing this, the chasing soldiers had accelerated, Li Xian did not dare to slack off a little, waved his hand without looking back, and ordered loudly: "The whole army listens to the order, accelerates, and get rid of the thief!" ”

The horses of the Longyou cavalry are all good horses, and the speed of rushing up is amazing, but compared with the war horses under the crotch of the British Palace, it is more than a step worse, you must know that Li Xian is not short of money, in order to improve the combat effectiveness of the guards, Li Xian specially purchased a large number of good horses from Dawan, plus the Qinghai good horses captured from Tuyuhun the year before last, more than 1,500 people in the royal palace guards are double horses, in terms of the quality of the horses, there are not a few cavalry armies in the world that can compete with the British palace guards, Not to mention that these guards are all equestrian masters, just take one out, when they are in the army, they are all instructor-level figures, the reason why Li Xian did not give the order to move forward at full speed before, of course, because the fog road is difficult, in fact, there is also a plan to raise horsepower, after all, the war horses under everyone's crotch have been running for three days in a row, just a night's rest, it is difficult to fully recover, at this time, the horse is running wildly, and the distance between the two sides is instantly widened to a hundred steps away, and this distance has a tendency to get bigger and bigger.

"Damn, the thief is going to escape, all of them will catch up with Lao Tzu, accelerate, accelerate!"

Zhao Zhao obviously didn't expect the speed of the British Palace's party to be so fast, this time seeing that the distance between each other was getting bigger and bigger, he was in a hurry, if Li Xian escaped from his life, looking back, he Zhao Zhao had a few heads that were not enough to cut off, even if Li Xian didn't kill him, the boss would never spare his life, and in a hurry, he didn't care about the life or death of all his subordinates, desperately hit the horse and rushed forward, desperately biting the British Palace, but the horsepower between them was too different, this chase and escape, but a moment of effort, The distance between them had widened to nearly two hundred steps.

"Slow down, let the thieves get closer!"

Li Xian glanced back at the pursuers who had been stretched a long distance away, smiled coldly, and immediately gave the order to slow down, and the horse team that was originally galloping at full speed gradually slowed down a little.

"The thief is running out of horsepower, sons, catch up and kill!"

Looking at the people in the British Prince's Mansion who were gradually moving away, Zhao Zhao's heart was already half cold, but when he saw that the speed of the people in the British Palace, he unconsciously slowed down, and hoped to rise again, shouting and screaming, and led his troops to chase after him, and once again narrowed the distance between the two sides to within 100 steps, but under such a rapid pursuit, the originally neat queue of more than 2,300 people was already dragged into a long line, and there was no longer a trace of formation at all, and even some cavalry with poor horses had been left far behind.

"Change horses, speed up!"

Seeing the pursuers rushing closer and closer, Li Xian calmly raised his hand and gave the order to change horses, but seeing that everyone in the British Palace's palace in the gallop rose up, and in a rising and falling room, it had already landed on the back of the spare war horse, and the movements were uniform, not to mention that no one made a mistake and fell off the horse, and it did not even affect the speed of the entire cavalry army's forward rush, this kind of ability Even the most elite Turkic cavalry can not be done by many people, and this is one of the hole cards that Li Xian dares to maneuver with a strong opponent in the open field.

"Damn, bastard, chase, chase, chase!"

Seeing the miracle-like horse change action of the British Prince's Mansion, Zhao Zhao's eyes immediately straightened, and he didn't slow down in one breath, and he was choked fiercely, you must know that this kind of kung fu of changing horses during the march is a difficult action, and Zhao Zhao himself can only barely complete it, but none of the more than 100 people in front of him have missed, and it has not affected the speed of the forward rush, this kind of ability can only be described by the word "miracle", for whether he can catch up with the British Prince's Mansion and his party, Zhao Zhao has no confidence, However, there is no way out at the moment, so he can only catch up.

A quarter of an hour passed, half an hour passed, time was like flowing water, and soon, an hour had passed, the sun had risen three poles, the fog had long disappeared without a trace, the two cavalry armies were still chasing, the distance between each other was always hovering between a hundred and two hundred steps, and at the beginning, it didn't seem to be much different, at least for the people in the British Palace, but as a chaser, Zhao Zhao's department was in big trouble, and the whole team was completely scattered, There are only more than 1,000 horsemen left who can barely catch up behind Li Xian's subordinates, and this number is still decreasing.

To chase or not to chase? That's a big problem! Zhao Zhao can become a leading general, not a foolish person, so far, how can he not know what the plans of the people in the British Prince's Mansion are, seeing that his soldiers continue to fall behind, Zhao Zhao panicked, and couldn't help but retreat, but when he thought of the serious consequences of Li Xian's escape, Zhao Zhao really didn't dare to give up, and under the dilemma, Ma Su unconsciously slowed down a little.

Uh-huh, are you going to stop chasing? Hey, there's no such thing as a bargain! After such a long-distance pursuit, Li Xian no longer blindly galloped as before, but paid attention to the movements of the pursuers behind him at any time, and saw that Zhao Zhao's department had signs of slowing down, and immediately guessed Zhao Zhao's psychological changes, the corners of his mouth bent, and he couldn't help laughing, but he didn't order the whole army to slow down, just made a gesture, signaling that the original speed of the whole army would not change, but he himself slowed down the speed of the horse, and fell to the end, rode his horse slowly, and secretly took off the big iron bow hanging on his waist, He took out three eagle-feathered arrows from the quiver and clasped them in his hand.

"The thief can't run, kill it!"

Zhao Zhao was hesitating whether to chase or not, and suddenly found that a horse in front of him had fallen behind, and then looked at the white horse under the crotch and the gold soft armor on his body, and immediately recognized that the person who had fallen behind was actually the target of this trip - King Li Xian, and he was ecstatic, plucked up Yu Yong, and rushed forward with all his might, but he kept an eye on himself, and did not sprint ahead, but hid in the cover of more than a dozen guards.

100 steps, 80 steps, 60 steps! Although Li Xian never looked back, he could listen to the sound of horses' hooves, but he could accurately judge what the distance between the pursuers and himself was, and when the pursuers had reached sixty paces, Li Xian no longer hesitated, Huo Ran turned around, and pulled the bow to perfection, just one glance, he had already seen the formation of the chasing soldiers behind, and this time Zhao Zhao, who was always shouting at the front of the queue, was actually hiding in the formation, and couldn't help but sneer.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Li Xian fired a series of arrows, but after hearing the sound of a string, three feather arrows shot out one after another, almost like meteors piercing the space, only a flash, it had been shot into the queue of pursuers, the first arrow hit a cavalry general in the lead, the second arrow shot a cavalry in front of Zhao Zhao off the horse, the third feather arrow followed by the back of the second feather arrow, like a rainbow flying out of the sky straight to Zhao Zhao's throat.

"Oops!"

Half of Zhao Zhao's military career was mixed in the Yulin Army, and he had already heard a lot about Li Xian's brave name, and when he saw Li Xian fall behind, he had a sense of vigilance in his heart, and when he saw Li Xian looking back and firing the bow, he subconsciously quickly shrank his head, and it was precisely because of his subconscious action that he happened to dodge Li Xian's fatal arrow - the third feather arrow grazed the cheek of the unlucky guard who fell off the horse, hitting the top of Zhao Zhao's helmet like a meteor, after a sharp roar, With the red tassel on the helmet, it flew into the chest of a guard who followed Zhao Zhao closely, although he escaped death, but under the numbness of the scalp, Zhao Zhao couldn't help but exclaim, he didn't care about the image or not, he stretched out his hand and wiped the helmet, and his face turned white in an instant.

Damn, it's a pity! Li Xian's series of three arrows was originally intended to take Zhao Zhao's life, but he lost his hand and was full of regret, but Li Xian didn't forget to use this to stimulate the other party, so he laughed loudly and said: "Hahaha......, dog thief, dare to chase again, be careful of the dog's head!" ”

"Chase, catch, kill, kill all the thieves! Rush, all to Lao Tzu! ”

After Zhao Zhao was frightened, he was embarrassed, scolded angrily, and regardless of the army, he accelerated forward again and chased wildly, and there was a great posture of not taking Li Xian's vow not to withdraw his troops......
