Chapter 12: The War Horse Thief (2)

The first wave of the attack was attacked by horse thieves armed with shields and spears, and under the light of torches, carefully touched the slope to destroy the trap set by Zhang Xiaotian and them.

Behind them were all archers, continuously releasing arrows into the mountain to cover the actions of the shield spearmen, but they didn't know that Zhang Xiaotian had already hidden in the arrow shelter in the middle of the slope.

At this time, all the guards were convinced by Zhang Xiaotian's anticipation of the enemy's opportunity, and at the same time, their confidence was greatly increased.

Zhang Xiaotian estimated in his heart that there are still nearly seven or eight hundred people who can still fight on the other side, even if he can solve all the current enemies,

The opponent is still far superior in numbers, not to mention that in the current situation, it is impossible to completely annihilate these invading enemies.

At this time, Zhang Xiaotian's heart moved, and he ordered the guards beside him:

"When the battle of attack and defense begins in a moment, you immediately lead five men to the horse pen, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet,

Immediately you break the railings and scatter the horses, and drive them down the hill from the north-west, and then we will escape by the eastern route. The guard hurriedly agreed, and went to find a partner to work with.

At this time, the first batch of horse thieves had already attacked the mountainside, slowly approaching step by step, and the atmosphere was very tense.

At this time, I saw Red Mei and his 400 men, riding horses and setting up a formation in the northwest direction, all of them rubbing their fists and tightening the reins, and they were ready to rush up and kill at any time.

I only heard Zhang Xiaotian's order: "Let go of the rolling stone!" Put the wood! ”

At this time, I saw more than 20 piles of tree trunks and stones hidden behind the grass and low trees, and the cables were immediately cut off.

Rolling down like a wave towards the horse thief, only hitting the opponent's shield and turning over.

I only heard Zhang Xiaotian shouting "release the arrow",

Then I saw the guards hiding in the trench appear, and the arrows rained downward.

At this time, the horse thieves were in a big mess because of Zhang Xiaotian's counterattack just now, and they didn't have any intention to resist, so they were hit by arrows and rolled down the slope, and suddenly killed and injured more than 200 people.

When the guards saw such a scene, their morale was immediately boosted, and they raised their arms and shouted.

When Red Mei saw this situation, he was so angry that he couldn't care about withdrawing the injured patient horse, and immediately organized a third attack.

Zhang Xiaotian carefully observed the direction of the movement of the opponent's troops, and knew that the main force of the horse thieves was camped on the northern hillside, and the terrain was relatively flat, and he said secretly:

"God help me",

So he ordered the guards to withdraw to the mountain.

There are also advantages to having fewer people, at least it can make it difficult for horse thieves to find their next plan of action.

Soon Zhang Xiaotian and the others retreated to the mountain, Zhang Xiaotian asked the guards to bring their own mounts, and Zhang Xiaotian said his plan.

When the group of people heard that they could escape for their lives, their spirits were immediately lifted and they worked together.

Until this moment, they did not suffer a single casualty, and naturally worshiped Zhang Xiaotian like a god.

The sound of the horn woke everyone up, and then the horse thieves attacked from all directions, but most of the remaining nearly seven hundred horse thieves were climbing the mountain in the north.

After Zhang Xiaotian saw that the horse thief had crossed the halfway up the mountain, he issued an order, and the horses neighed and trampled, and more than 200 fierce horses were driven out of the horse pen in the north of the camp.

A group of people hurriedly joined the ranks of the horses, and drove the horses to the north slope.

Some of the guards were very bad, and stabbed the horses with spears, stirring up the wild nature of the horses, and in the dust, the frightened horses went straight to the horse thieves on the northern slopes.

Zhang Xiaotian did not have time to observe the results of the battle, and led a hundred guards to rush to the western slope and rushed down the mountain through the safe passage.

Only sixty or seventy horse thieves were killed in this direction, and without defense, Zhang Xiaotian and these people killed one person on their backs.

Zhang Xiaotian knew that his trick would be unexpected by the horse thief, and he didn't know that all the beauties had been secretly transported back to Chang'an.

How could he have imagined that there were only more than a hundred guards who were here to stop them?

The northern slope is now in chaos, but the horse thieves from the other two slopes have come to support, and they immediately shouted murder.

Although Zhang Xiaotian has ridden a horse in the special forces, how can he catch up with these horse thieves and guards who have grown up on horseback since childhood, when he rushed downhill,

He has fallen behind a group of guards, and these guards still think that he is chivalrous and brave, and he disregards his own safety to cover everyone from danger. At this time, more than 100 guards, and more than 80 people left, left in a panic.

Zhang Xiaotian was already under siege at this time, he relied on his amazing arm strength, after killing many horse thieves with a spear, he killed a bloody road, and was trying to keep up with the team, when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, he looked up and saw that a feather arrow was stuck in his shoulder.

Zhang Xiaotian roared, rode his horse and galloped wildly, only knowing how to rush forward, and after a while, he became a lonely man riding alone, moving forward in the vast grassland.

"Could it be God, if you want me to learn how to ride alone for Guan Erye, this joke is too big."

Zhang Xiaotian shook his head secretly and smiled,

As he walked, he suddenly fell off his horse and rolled into the grass, breaking the tail of his arrow.

It turned out that after so many days of wild running, the horse finally couldn't support it and died of exhaustion.

Zhang Xiaotian felt very weak at this time, his head was dizzy, he didn't have a good place up and down his body now, and there was a hot stinging pain in his shoulder and back from time to time.

Zhang Xiaotian gritted his teeth and got up, took out the dagger given by Shang Yin, endured the severe pain, cut the arrow cluster from the wound, pulled it out, and wrapped it hastily after tearing off his clothes.

His throat burned with thirst, and he knew it was a symptom of excessive blood loss, and he struggled to get up.

At this time, a glimmer of dawn appeared in the sky, it turned out that it was running all night unconsciously, no wonder the horse would be unbearable, and after glancing at the horse guiltily, he found the right direction and ran towards Chang'an.

The more than 20 days in this uninhabited wilderness was the most unforgettable journey of Zhang Xiaotian's life.

Zhang Xiaotian relied on the wilderness survival skills he learned in the 21st century special forces, picking wild fruits to satisfy his hunger, and then collecting herbs all over the mountains.

The wound was healed with herbs, and then some hares were beaten to satisfy their hunger, and they were unkempt and unclothed, like a wild man.

Zhang Xiaotian followed the instructions given by Shang Yin, he looked at the sun in the sky during the day and the stars in the sky at night, groping his way towards Chang'an.

On this day, Zhang Xiaotian happened to walk in front of a big river,

He looked at the surging and majestic river and wanted to cry without tears, but he had to bypass the river.

Who knew that after walking for more than ten days, he was still spinning in front of the winding river. By the time he walked out of the river district, he was exhausted,

Just when he felt hopeless, he found an official road, and he was overjoyed, and hurriedly walked along the official road, and at this time, even the boots on his feet were broken.

On the way to walk, Zhang Xiaotian met four business trips composed of dozens of people, and as soon as this group of people saw him like this, they left in a hurry without even saying hello, which made Zhang Xiaotian feel the heat and coldness of the world.

After walking three days further, Zhang Xiaotian came to a big city, and he actually walked to Luoyang, northwest of Chang'an.

Just wanted to enter the city, but was driven out by the officers and soldiers defending the city. After many inquiries, I learned that if you want to enter the city, you must pay the city tariff.

I also have to check the identity of the household registration, don't say that he is penniless now, but with this appearance, it is difficult for him to enter the city, which makes Zhang Xiaotian speechless,

Because he has now become a poor person that no one wants to take in, fortunately, Zhang Xiaotian has received strict military training in the special forces, has a tough heart, and waits outside the city for an opportunity.

He had already made up his mind, and after entering the city, he would have to get clothes, food, and horses no matter what method he used, and after inquiring about the way to Chang'an, he would immediately go there to find Shang Yin and end his current life.

Tonight, he relied on wild fruits to satisfy his hunger, huddled in the grove beside the road, and endured the bitter cold, "It seems that tonight is another sleepless night," Zhang Xiaotian said secretly in his heart at this time. It was not until dawn that he fell into a deep sleep.

The groggy Zhang Xiaotian didn't know how long he had been asleep, and was suddenly awakened by the sound of wheels.

He opened his eyes and was overjoyed. It turned out to be a water convoy that came and went inside and outside the city every day, and had just returned to the city from outside the city with water, Zhang Xiaotian saw the right time and sneaked into the city into the bucket of the last car.

Luoyang City in this period has no glory in the past, the singing and dancing towers of the year, the prosperous scene no longer exists, the grass and trees are messy, the remote and desolate streets and alleys can be seen everywhere, the people on the street are in a hurry, I don't know where to go.

Zhang Xiaotian saw this scene, hurriedly jumped out of the car, and saw him covered in water, and the pedestrians on the street immediately showed disdain.

At this time, Zhang Xiaotian touched the beard on his face, which made him cry and laugh.

Before entering the city, he still had ideas in his heart, that is, how to sneak into the city, but now that he is already in the city, he doesn't know what to do.

Ashamed that he was not as good as others, he turned around and entered a remote alley, only to be spotted by a group of children playing in the alley, who kept chasing him and making fun of him.

When he turned to frighten the urchins, they scattered like birds and beasts, and one of the little girls could not avoid them.

fell to the ground, and when Zhang Xiaotian was about to help her up, the little girl cried, and immediately attracted several men with knives, guns and sticks, shouting and shouting to kill.
