Chapter 1: The Great Thief (18)
、、、、、、、
"Ahh Li Xu howled like a wolf and rushed forward desperately. As long as it is the Turks who are close to him, his men will not show mercy. Red blood trickled down from his shattered leather armor, and he couldn't tell if it was someone else's or his own.
"Silly boy, control the speed and keep in formation!" Wu Heimin shouted wildly. Li Xuchong's speed was too fast, and if he continued like this, he would have to be hacked to death before he could break out of the Turkic blockade.
"Let's protect him to the right and left, use this as a front, blow the trumpet, and order the other brothers to change formation!" Zhang Liang rode a black horse covered in blood and ran forward, commanding loudly.
Hearing the order, Wu Heimin touched a bull's horn from his waist and blew it up. The desolate sound of the trumpet immediately drowned out the neighing of the horses, and the order was passed on to the ears of every horse thief in the forward. Hearing this, everyone rode their horses and moved closer to Li Xu's forward position. Soon, more than two dozen people formed a sharp knife and pierced straight into the Turkic wolf horse.
Li Xu's whole body was red, and only his mouth full of white teeth was still flashing. He shouted, wheel-wielding the oversized scimitar that the Coppersmith Master had specially made for himself. The light of the knife rolled through the sunlight, rolling up clouds of blood mist. Several Turkic warriors were hacked to death by him, Zhang Liang, and Wu Heimin, a few were knocked over by the horse thieves, and a few were frightened by such a fierce sword light, and fled on both wings.
The Turkic interception was once again dispersed, and the horse thieves rushed out of the gap with a shout. All those who fell off their horses, whether they were enemies or companions, they never looked back. The man on horseback is accustomed to seeing life and death, one moment it is someone else, the next moment it may be himself. Life is happy, death is drunk.
The smoke and dust brought up by the war horses rolled over the grassland like a torrent, until they encountered a seasonal river, and then suddenly stopped.
"You idiot, if you want to kill Lao Tzu, say it earlier. His grandmother's, did he show mercy to others in the war? Wu Heimin rushed to Li Xu's side and waved his fist at him vigorously. His fists were swollen like bread, and countless small wounds were oozing blood.
Li Xu smiled miserably and handed the scimitar into Wu Heimin's hand. His eyes were blank and numb as a corpse. The only feeling is that I have to take a shower right now, and the smell on my body is unpleasant.
The stream was soon dyed red, and the blood-like water rushed downstream. Li Xu washed and washed desperately, until his body turned white, and his nostrils were still full of the smell of human blood.
He didn't feel the cold of the stream, he only felt numb and crispy all over his body, as if his skin and muscles no longer belonged to him. He was very lucky in the bloody battle just now, and only suffered a few skin wounds. Although the length of the knife edge is quite scary, the depth is only a shallow layer, and the bleeding quickly stops when it is stirred by cold water.
But the shock in his heart from Fang Cai's bloody battle far outweighed the wounds on his body. He had also experienced two wars in the Hazebu, but they were both battles carefully arranged by Xu Dayan. The resistance of the other side is not strong, and no one really pays attention to him.
Today, however, horse thieves are fighting more with less. The fighting power of the Turkic warriors far surpassed that of the shepherds of the Suotou Xi tribe, and all the warriors regarded him as a priority object. Li Xu couldn't count how many times death had passed by him, he knew that he was scared and wanted to drop the knife and hide. But at the same time, he also knew that he had nowhere to hide, if he hadn't happened to meet this group of horse thieves, he would have been a guest in the prison of the Yu family.
"I don't want to die!" He punched the naked reflection in the water and muttered.
The water splashed and dispersed, distorting the childish face.
"I don't want to die!" He threw his punch again with a bit of a cry, and the waves gathered and scattered, reflecting a strong but far from mature body. Under the water, countless stunned faces widened their eyes and slowly floated up. Each one is a Turk who was cut off by him with a scimitar.
"I don't want to die!" He held his head and squatted into the water. The icy water of the river only reached his neck, numbing his breathing.
"If you don't want to die, come up, do you want to remove your armor?" Wu Heimin, who had been looking at Li Xu with mocking sunshine on the shore, scolded, jumped into the river, and dragged him to the shore by the arm.
Exposed to the sun, Li Xu slowly regained some of his senses. When he opened his eyes, he saw Wu Heimin rubbing his arm vigorously. Niu Jinda, who looked so ordinary that he couldn't recognize him when he threw it into the pile, held a handful of blades of grass that he couldn't name, and stood in front of him with a smile.
"Chew this grass and eat it, and you'll be fine in no time!" Niu Jinda ordered with a smile.
"Brother Niu, you're a veterinarian! Do you want to poison people, how many horses are shared? Wu Heimin protested loudly.
"Almost, almost!" Niu Jinda didn't like to talk to people, so he said while stuffing medicine into Li Xu's mouth.
The intense bitter taste instantly rushed from the top of his head to his toes, Li Xu shuddered, and his sanity and courage returned to his body at the same time. He knew that he had lost his ugliness just now, so he smiled wryly, pushed Wu Heimin away, and walked to Hei Feng's side to get his clothes.
The injured Black Wind was able to keep up with the team, which was beyond everyone's expectations. A couple of middle-aged horse thieves came over and looked at the horses and the people at the same time. Suddenly, someone with a beard patted Li Xu on the shoulder and asked, "Boy, haven't you bitten more than 30 people to death, why did you kill a few of them, and you were scared like this!" ”
"Wang Shuang, next time you take the lead and kill ten people for me!" Wu Heimin stepped forward, pushed the bearded horse thief, and shouted.
"If I had that ability, I would have been a swordsman a long time ago!" Wang Shuang smiled and saluted back.
"I, I've never eaten anyone!" Li Xu explained loudly. He didn't know that the rumors on the grassland spread so quickly, and the rumors deliberately created by Su Sibu were actually believed by people in the south of the desert.
"I guess it's because the holy wolf didn't have it with me!" The thieves shook their heads and explained cleverly. No one believed Li Xu's words, if it wasn't for the possession of the wolf god, Ashina would have to get this simple little guy for nothing. He didn't care about the battle, he didn't understand the formation, and he didn't know how to plan. If you carry a big knife and rush around, you are considered a talent, and the horse thieves are all great sages in the world.
"I really haven't bitten more than thirty people to death!" Li Xu raised his voice a few points more. The clothes he just changed into were brought by him from the Central Plains, and although he was already young, he could be seen from the clothes that he was a scholar.
"Biting twenty to death is also a bite. It is estimated that when the wolf god possessed the body, you don't remember it yourself at all! The horse thieves nodded, mysteriously.
"Isn't it the same to bite with teeth, kill with a knife, shoot with an arrow? If I were you, tell them I'd killed a hundred, and let anyone who saw me stay away! Wu Heimin glared at Li Xu and scolded: "People say that you are powerful, but you are still modest." I've seen stupid, I've never seen such stupid! ”
"This little guy is very interesting!" In the distance, Liu Hongji shook his head and thought with a smile.
