Chapter 321: The Gorluq Division
One of the twelve centurions of the Gollulu tribe, who led the team, was the first to speed up his horse, and with a hundred or so men, he rushed to the halfway slope at once, flew off his horse at the moment when the horses were in decline, and pulled them up and up.

But before they could reach the top, three crossbowmen in cowhide armor suddenly stood up from the top of the slope and fired more than twenty arrows at those who had climbed up. The man who hit the arrow couldn't avoid it at such a close distance, screaming and tumbling and falling back to the starting point.
However, the three of them laughed and got on their horses, flew on their horses in the confusion of the enemy, and went to chase after the three officers of the Xu regiment.
Seeing twenty of his men fall like this, there was no other way for him to do anything but shout for his men to continue climbing, and some of the twenty men who fell to the ground were not dead, but he couldn't care about them.
The hundred men he brought with him were long-swordmen, and now there were eighty left, and they were brave enough to face any opponent, slashing without blinking in close combat, but the only way to recover the blood debt against those few archers was to catch up with them.
Soon, Duoduo saw the person behind him again, and somehow he was also a little flustered. The speed of these horses in the desert is not slow, how can they let people bite tightly as soon as they enter the forest.
He knew that it was because the road was unfamiliar, so he no longer did hiding, but simply led people to scatter and choose a good place to run. From here, there is at least seventy or eighty miles to go back to the place indicated by Lord Gao, and when he returns there, he has completed his task, and these people who don't know whether they are alive or dead have to be handed over to Lord Gao to clean up.
Ahead is a narrow road, with a cliff dozens of paces long on the left and a slope on the right, which can only be crossed by a single rider in turn. Manyduo urged the other five people, "Don't look back, run as fast as you can!" For he had heard the pursuers behind him come in as well.
The man also arrived, and he saw that there were only six people standing at the end of the narrow passage. As if they didn't want to run, the three men turned back to their horses, drew their knives and prepared to meet the enemy.
The other three were hurriedly drawing arrows from their quivers and installing them in their respective crossbows, and they had just shot all the arrows in their crossbows at once.
This is an opportunity, and they can't wait for them to load up these arrows that can be fired in bursts, and there are only three people with knives, and no matter how difficult they are, they will not buy the archers much time. Tong Jin roared and rushed over first. All the mermaids rushed in, lined up in a narrow lane.
He saw a white-skinned guy in his twenties on the other side, with a hateful smile on his handsome face. I didn't think much about it, and slashed with a long knife.
A long whistle sounded overhead, and then a crossbow bolt was fired diagonally from the cliff on the left, fast and accurate, and hit the chest of the pound, and he rolled over and fell from his horse, blocking the path of the man behind him.
The eighty men behind them were lined up, and they looked up in astonishment to see some archers in cowhide armor standing above their heads, and they did not need to change their arrows, but kept shooting. The men below fell one after another, and their knives became a burden at such a distance. Someone had already lost them, and they tried their best to pull the reins and fall back on the horse's head, but they saw that the retreat behind them had already been turned on their backs.
They had barely had time to utter a sentence before they were struck by arrows, rolled in their saddles, and died under the panicked hooves of their horses.
It was Master Gao who brought people to meet a lot, and the ambush location he chose couldn't be better, he asked someone to count the results of the battle, and retrieve the crossbow arrows that were shot, and collecting the arrows had become the first thing after the battle.
"Eighty." Someone reported to Mr. Gao. Many of them grinned and added, "There are twenty more over there." ”
Master Gao said, I won't let you do it, how did you do it? There are many roads, "Why don't you take advantage of the ......cheap of Bai Pick" Gao Dadao, "No matter how big the cheap is, there are still 700 horses?" We'll go back and see, and if there aren't twenty, we'll clean you up!" "He said to many, if someone runs away, we have crossbows and bows for people to know, so what else do I play?
At the bottom of the hillside, twenty men, no less than one, except for two who were seriously wounded and arching on the ground, the rest were motionless, and someone went over and waved a knife to relieve their pain.
This time, Master Gao was satisfied with Duoduo, and never mentioned cleaning up his affairs again. He arranged a lot of words, and asked him to take the original five people out of the forest to join Siqing's team.
All sixty crossbowmen of the shepherd's team were brought, and he told thirty of them to strip each other's clothes and drape them over their bodies, and so on, while the rest followed the tall man to the stream and crept out of the forest.
Tutun led the brigade back along the avenue, and he heard a scream in the dense forest in the distance, as if he had succeeded. Soon, six men escaped from the valley not far ahead, and they ran east without looking back. And behind them, thirty of their own men were chasing after them with all their might, and they were chasing with long knives in a muffled voice.
Tutun knew that there were only thirty of the hundred people he sent into the mountain, so he was furious, waved the long knife in his hand, and ordered the headquarters team to join forces with the thirty soldiers and take advantage of the victory to cover the killing.
In the distance, I saw that on the yellow grass in the east, a group of brightly armored Tang herdsmen rushed out to meet the six people under the guidance of a white flag. There were two women, one with a double knife, the same person he met when he came, and the other woman with a long knife to protect the flag.
Tutun wants this situation, he has the advantage of numbers, and he will not be afraid of a head-on encounter, his seven hundred people lined up in an attack formation, shouting and rushing in!
Siqing didn't like to fight either, as soon as the banner waved, these people just shot a row of long arrows at the pursuers behind them, and then turned around and ran in the opposite direction.
Although Tutun's archers also shot arrows, the distance was not enough, and those arrows just stuck into the sand behind the opponent's horses' hooves, causing the opponent to injure more than a dozen people. Tutun was furious, and rushed to the front.
The thirty men who were chasing after many people suddenly tore off their disguises, threw away their captured long knives by the hurried horses around them, and flashed their crossbows. In the opposite direction, they unexpectedly fired at the enemy troops who were close at hand, and took advantage of them for a while.
Tutun didn't expect the other party's trick, but it was just a small fish and shrimp, he didn't have time to take care of it, and went straight to Siqing, who was holding the double knife, Tang Min's flag was in her, and catching her was half the success.
But this woman never made contact with him, and commanded her two hundred and dozens of people to keep a stone's throw away. Their hundreds of long swordsmen dragged back to take cover, and the archers were behind the swordsmen, volleying arrows at Tutun from just the right distance.
The problem is that their own arrows can't reach them. Look at the road chasing over, there are people and horses who have been hit by arrows everywhere, which makes Tutun extremely annoyed. If you leave a hundred or ten people here when you come, even if it is just to delay them head-on, you will create an opportunity for your brigade to meet them face to face.
And a fierce battle was also taking place in the herd of horses more than ten miles behind him. Unlike before, it was a face-to-face fight, sixty-one against four hundred. (To be continued.) )
