Chapter 323: Encounter (Part II)
Lan Ziyi turned his horse's head and raised his sword and rushed into the forest.
It is not easy to run like this on the muddy and wet ground, and the moment Lan Ziyi entered the forest, the dense branches and leaves almost knocked him off his horse head-on.
Lan Ziyi escaped this catastrophe by holding the horse's neck, looked back at the swayed branches, and thought to himself that this Zhang Yanwu was really a person who traveled the mountains and rivers to eat this place thoroughly, and he knew clearly where to go and where not to go, just now Lan Ziyi was about to fall and break his leg.
But now that the form is urgent, since the person is still on the horse and the legs are fine, then Lan Ziyi has no need to waste time caring about what the branches behind look like.
Lan Ziyi lowered his body and lay on the horse's back, and shouted to the peach in front of him:
"Second brother! How many thieves came? β
Tao Zhulu has submerged into the forest in front of him at this time, from Lan Ziyi's side, he can only see some mottled sounds from the treetops, after a familiar sound of iron blades, the screams resounded in the forest, and then Lan Ziyi heard the sound of Tao Zhulu
"Back to the young master, except for this one just now, there are only seven left."
Lan Ziyi asked as he drove his horse forward:
"Where did the thief go?"
On the other side of the woods, Tao Zhutu shouted from afar:
"The thief is ahead of us, to the west!"
Lan Ziyi walked through the woods at this time and came to Tao Zhulu's side, only to see that the left side of the thief's neck was opened and fell to the ground, and half of Tao Zhulu's body was covered with blood.
With the skill of peach chasing deer, if it is common to cut people immediately on weekdays, after cutting one, he will chase the next one, but in this wood, peach chasing deer can only drive the horse trot with all his strength, and after cutting off the thief in front of him, all the people and horses stopped, and when Lan Ziyi came, Tao Zhulu was busy calming down the horses scared by blood, and he couldn't pursue it for a while.
Lan Ziyi looked at the woods in front of him again, the branches were disturbing, and although he couldn't see the human figure, he could hear the panting of the person clearly.
Lan Ziyi urged the horse violently and shouted, "Drive!" He chased after him, and at the same time Lan Ziyi ordered in the forest:
"Chase them all for me, and don't let go of a demon thief."
On the other side, there was another scream from the other side of the peach rabbit who had just spoken, and then the peach rabbit spoke:
"I also want to chase after it, but young master, my horse can't run in this forest!"
Lan Ziyi had already seen the embarrassment of Tao Zhulu trapped in the forest just now, and knew that his soldiers couldn't move in the forest, but Lan Ziyi would not let the demon thieves who came here to reconnoiter retreat, because the thief army was huge, if Lan Ziyi wanted to save the front line Bali Camp and Sizhai and retreat at the same time, then he had to surprise the enemy and ensure the suddenness of the attack. Now that his whereabouts have been discovered by demon thieves, if he lets these demon thief scouts run back, Lan Ziyi's previous efforts are all gone, not to mention, this kind of terrain in the mountains has attracted the demon thief army, and the thousands of people in the Xiji Tiger Camp can't even run.
Thinking of this, Lan Ziyi gritted his teeth and said:
"Run, run! The thief must not be let go! β
Then Lan Ziyi turned around and asked the back Tao Zhulu to say:
"Second brother! How many people did you order? β
Tao Zhulu replied from behind:
"I ordered twenty, and no matter how many people there are, the forest can't hold them!"
After hearing this, Lan Ziyi shouted:
"Twenty cut seven, oh no, it's six, you can cut it anyway.
Pursue! Give me chase! We must not let go of this group of demon thieves today! β
The dense woods blocked the view, and Lan Ziyi couldn't see the people around him clearly, but the sound of horses' hooves and the sergeant's panting told Lan Ziyi that the soldiers of the Xiji Tiger Battalion were around. After hearing Lan Ziyi's order, the sergeants sang loudly and chased after the demon thief.
The horses were driven by the soldiers and trampled the grass under their feet, and the occasional broken branches sounded as if a human rib had been shattered out of thin air, which was chilling. The voices of the soldiers of the Western Tiger Battalion were as clear as they were, and the demon thief scouts who were driven by the men and horses along with the sound of iron hooves were disheveled and short of breath. Originally, in the forest, these unskilled warriors could run past the bulky cavalry behind, but now these few demon thieves scurrying in the forest have been completely frightened by the knights of the Jihu battalion who came to take their lives behind.
The screams and shouts of the soldiers for merit were constantly heard in the forest around Lan Ziyi, and the soldiers reported the numbers one after another in order, while the demon thieves who were still fleeing in the forest fell one after another.
After the voices of the surrounding soldiers who invited merit stopped, the only remaining thief in the forest was the one that Lan Ziyi was chasing.
Lan Ziyi has been biting this demon thief since Tao Zhulu, but the person in front of him was not frightened by the chasing soldiers behind, his pace was steady, he walked like flying, he flashed and moved, he was like a swimming fish, Lan Ziyi felt that he was chasing not a person but a loach, the soldiers had already cut down the rest of the thieves, but he Lan Ziyi couldn't even clean up the person in front of him, which made Lan Ziyi very ashamed.
Lan Ziyi controlled the horse with his left hand and the sword in his right hand, urging the horse to speed up the pursuit, and saw the back of the demon thief several times, but was soon dodged by the demon thief.
Lan Ziyi was annoyed by the chase, and he really wanted to grow wings and fly over and cut off the head of the demon thief. At this time, the sound of horses' hooves behind Lan Ziyi remembered, and Zhang Yanwu, who had not shown up for a long time, laughed at Lan Ziyi and said:
"As soon as I saw the action in Wei Hou's hand, I knew that Wei Hou was not a practitioner, Wei Hou was patronizing and sleeping with the girl in Luoyan Pass, right? Yes? β
Lan Ziyi's face was flushed when Zhang Yanwu said it, but he really didn't have the ability to cut people, and he couldn't find a reason to refute it.
Zhang Yanwu's face turned cold after laughing, and he drew his bow and arrow and said:
"Get out of the way, look at me!"
Lan Ziyi wondered in his heart that his thousands of soldiers couldn't use their bows, how could his Zhang Yanwu's bow and arrows be pulled away? Then I saw Zhang Yanwu Le Ma flashing sideways, and appeared directly behind the demon thief in a flash.
Zhang Yanwu stepped on the stirrup cat's waist and stood up, his hand pulled the bow round, and his eyes threw all his energy on the demon thief in front of him, and then burst into a shout:
"Medium!"
Lan Ziyi saw that Zhang Yanwu's bow and arrow were quite skillful, his eyes were sharp, and he thought that the arrow of the demon thief could not escape, but what he didn't expect was that when Zhang Yanwu's horn bow was full, there was a sound of "Peng" from his side, followed by a scolding.
Lan Ziyi had heard this voice, and this was the sound when Tao Zhutu pulled off the bowstring when he blocked the knife for himself this morning.
Lan Ziyi turned his head to look, only to see Zhang Yanwu throw away the bad bow, scoop up his right arm with his left hand and put it in his arms, and open his mouth to scold:
"What! It didn't take a few clicks to open the glue! β
ε °εδΉ says:
"Bows and arrows will open after soaking in water, don't you know?"
Zhang Yanwu hugged his arms and scolded:
"Why didn't anyone sue ...... before?"
Before he finished speaking, Lan Ziyi shouted:
"Zhang joins the army, be careful of the top of your head!"
But Lan Ziyi's reminder was too late, it was too late for Zhang Yanwu to avoid the branches that suddenly appeared in front of him, plus Zhang Yanwu held his arms and did not grasp the reins, Zhang Yanwu on horseback was carried by a war horse and hit the branch in front of him, and immediately fell off the horse.
Zhang Yanwu, who turned over and fell to the ground, shouted:
"It's unlucky!"
In order to avoid Zhang Yanwu's pursuit just now, the demon thief who was still running away in front of him turned sideways into the escape route next to him, so that he happened to be in front of Lan Ziyi's horse, Lan Ziyi heard Zhang Yanwu's voice and knew that others were fine, so he didn't care about him anymore, urged the war horse to speed up, and directly knocked the demon thief out with his horse.
Lan Ziyi, who had been chasing for a long time, had always felt that the forest in front of him seemed to be getting thinner and thinner, but now the collision just broke through the forest in front of him and came to a small road.
Lan Ziyi didn't expect that there was actually a small road in this mountain forest, what he didn't expect was that there was a team of 100 demon thieves lined up on this small road.
Lan Ziyi looked at the hundred or so demon thieves in front of him and his scalp was numb, and the demon thieves suddenly saw the official cavalry after a noise in the depths of the woods, and the sudden situation made the people and horses on both sides look at each other in a daze, not knowing what to do.
The demon thief who was knocked away by Lan Ziyi turned over and was about to get up and go to the side of the demon thief team, he protruded the mud in his mouth and shouted:
"Brethren, ...... quickly"
Lan Ziyi stood up, and then his front hooves fell and crushed the back of the demon thief. The fact that the demon thief in front of him was not ready to meet the cavalry meant that they did not hear the shout of the forest just now, and the guy who was knocked down on the ground knew that Lan Ziyi and they were actually only twenty people, no matter what the demon thief wanted to say, Lan Ziyi must not let him speak out.
The demon thief who was trampled by the horse's hooves vomited blood all over his mouth, struggled and died, while Lan Ziyi was the first to attack with the team of demon thieves, he raised his sword and shouted:
"Listen to the soldiers, the demon thief is here, and the beast will be rewarded for bringing it back!" With that, he urged the horse to rush into the crowd of demon thieves who had not yet reacted.
Lan Ziyi first knocked down the one in front of him, and then slashed at the door of the demon thief on the right side with a sword, the thief saw that Lan Ziyi was fierce when he came, and subconsciously reached out to block it, but how could human flesh block the sword, and the fingers of the demon thief under the blade were instantly cut off.
Lan Ziyi ignored the screams of the thief on the right, collected his sword and came back, raised his sword and stabbed it into the throat of the demon thief next to the horse on the left. At this time, the demon thief had come back to his senses, and the thief standing on the left side of Lan Ziyi's horse saw the sharp blade coming to his face and hurriedly used his knife to pull the blade away.
This set deviated Lan Ziyi's strength, and although Lan Ziyi stopped in time, the left half of the whole person's body was still open to the demon thief.
Seeing that the blade had reached Lan Ziyi's throat, the companions behind the demon thief were knocked away by the war horse, and the peach rabbit rushed into the group of demon thieves to relieve Lan Ziyi's siege after killing from the forest on the left side in time. At the same time, the peach deer who followed behind killed Lan Ziyi from the right side, knocked over one person, hacked one person to death, and protected Lan Ziyi.
