Chapter 316: The Wind Sweeps the Fallen Leaves
Siqing and Reyihangul were not in a hurry, and trotted all the way on their horses, so that the two horsemen who were running fast behind were sandwiched in it, one left and one right. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Reihangul was in front, she had not gone through such a formation, listening to the sound of hooves chasing behind her, her heart was pounding.
She turned around, just as she saw Si Qing suddenly turn around, the scimitar separated the opponent's spear, and the other knife cut the person who was already close from the bottom up, he screamed and fell under the horse, rolled several times before stopping, the horse was frightened, and ran to the side at once.
The other man was stunned, and the horse slowed down for a moment. He saw that Siqing had solved his partner neatly, and the other woman also came back to help, and was busy running back.
The people behind saw that their own people were suffering, and they shouted and pounced. Siqing said, "Let's go!" The two men took the reins of their horses, ran around the hills, and came to a stop in a wide area behind them, where they wiped their sweat.
One of the leading pursuers was determined to win, and he did not let his men release arrows, but hooked two fingers to outflank them. One of the two women was necessary for him, and the other for the brothers.
It seems that they came from afar, and they are so bold that they dare to cut to death the people of the Ebido land, and only the people of the Ebiru land can cut others in this place, they really ate the gall of the leopard.
The people shouted and scrambled to get their mounts on the horses, and as soon as the two teams of Pegasus rounded the weedy and bushy hills, see where you went!
They got carried away, their eyes fixed on the two women, and the malicious laughter was clearly audible even to the lurking shepherds. However, they suddenly saw a large white flag behind the hill suddenly raised and waved in the wind.
These people did not hear any shouts, but shot a dense stream of crossbow arrows like a rain of rain in the grass and trees at close range, without even a pause or pause.
A fast crossbow fired in seven bursts, less than ten paces away. Almost in the blink of an eye, the two teams of people who ran to the front to compete for merit fell off their horses one after another. The seventy or eighty men who had chased after him immediately reined in their horses and slowed down their horses, and skillfully drew a semi-arc circle along the outside of the hill in the gallop, trying to get out of danger.
However, the longbowmen who were lying in ambush fired a denser number of arrows, and with a burst of bowstrings, burst into the air, and they flew down from top to bottom, just enveloping the passing horses.
The arrows of these long arrows are larger and heavier than crossbow arrows, and the shafts of the arrows are also long, and they are shot down from high in the air from top to bottom, with inertia and speed, and ordinary rattan shields cannot resist and are pierced, not to mention the human body without any protection.
These longbowmen practiced in advance over a long period of time, so that they would shoot arrows to the spot where they were running, depending on the speed of the opponent's horse and the direction of the run.
Some people were shot through the chest by long arrows on their horses, and they rolled off their horses without saying a word. Some only injured their arms, screamed and threw their knives and guns and left. Some horses were hit by arrows and neighed and threw their riders under their horses. Some people fall off the horse because they can't take off the stirrup, and they are taken out of the horse all the way.
Xuanchi reflected the gray sky at some point, and the strong wind suddenly rose, blowing away a thick bloody gas.
In the distance, there were people who had gathered in a hurry in the tents, hastily forming a team and rushing over to support their accomplices. They were of different ages, dressed in different styles, and not as uniformly armed as their predecessors.
In the first blow of the unknown force, the young and strong forces that accounted for 20% of the tribe were lost in the blink of an eye. They were surprised, but there were still people, and now they should rush forward and fight, even if they were not for the sake of horses, but only for hatred.
They shouted, scattered like the waves of the tide, and covered the mountains and fields, and a dull thunder rolled over the horizon. In the distance, a small group of small numbers flashed out of the hills, and they silently jumped on their horses and watched calmly at the team of horses that came like a tidal wave.
They don't have a formation, just a mass of vengeful swarms, but the effectiveness of the arrows is not easy to play. The herding team silently turned their faces to see the big white flag of Tianshan Mu, which was standing upright and motionless.
These men, though all dressed in enviable cowhide armor, were too few to be emboldened again by the whizzing men.
They drove their horses past the carcasses of their companions, through the scattered herds of horses that had lost their owners, and charged at the small procession. They let out a strange scream, tragic and angry! Among those who fell to the earth were their brothers.
I saw that the other party's flag waved, shook twice, did not rush to kill, did not shout, this small team ran out of the undulating hills, turned in the opposite direction and ran! By the time they got out of this place of invisibility, the archers, crossbowmen, and swordmen had already run into their rightful positions.
But in the eyes of the pursuers, these people are crowded together, and they can't even raise the speed of running, which makes the chasing people feel more urgent for revenge.
The faster they chased, the faster they chased, but the other party also immediately adjusted the speed of their escape and circled around the shore of Xuanchi Lake. The men seemed to have no intention of fighting, and only a longbowman turned around and shot an arrow in the gallop.
The long arrow arced through the sky and landed accurately into the team of horses running behind, but it made it easy to hit the ground. But this arrow is only a necessary procedure for firing in the Guardian sport, and is fired by the most experienced longbowmen.
From where the arrow had fallen, the rest of the longbowmen quickly found the path of the arrow—including how high and how high it should be, how much elevation it would take, and how much deflection and force it would counteract the force of the wind.
A rain of arrows!!
The caravan of horses that had been following them finally gathered together in the middle of the run, and they were surprised to see a black dot in the sky fly down like leeches. There was no way to dodge, and the arrow fell! They slowed down and ran into a hail of arrows!
Some screamed and hugged their heads, others twisted around their horses, and even the horses that were running were horrified by the change in the rider's position. They screamed, were tugged at by their masters, and squeezed together with their companions to the left and right.
Arrows slammed into flesh and blood. Most of them didn't know that a few days ago, some of the best members of the tribe participated in the wanton harassment of the Poplar River several times in succession, which finally provoked retaliation.
Some people were pierced in the chest by long arrows, blood spurted from their mouths, and horses fell to the ground from arrows, and they had not yet recovered from this blow, and the swordsmen and crossbowmen of Tianshan Mu had already turned back. The speed of the counterattack was not fast, but everyone could see the strengths and weaknesses of both sides.
The horses that had been beaten by the rain of arrows and ran at the front turned into a lotus pond that had been beaten by hail, and there was no order to be seen. Now, the other party has come to harvest! The people from afar tried to come to their aid, but the longbowmen behind the swordsmen and crossbowmen blocked them with a rain of arrows.
The screams of one side gradually died down in the rout, while the other side did not say a word, and turned around and rushed towards the remaining remnants of the enemy amid the swing of the flag. The kind of gallop that was not fast was neat and coordinated, no one rushed forward, no one was left behind, and the combination of long and short blows they unleashed crushed the hearts of the people.
The pursuers finally erupted in a shout, an involuntary shout that sounded like the most violent wind roaring through the scattered fallen leaves, and finally demoralizing the enemy.
It was a nomadic tribe in the north, with five or six hundred people, who belonged to one of the tribes of the Ebidu. They also came to graze, and there were no frail old people and children. Therefore, the filth between the herdsmen mentioned in Ashina Desire's first letter to Xizhou is not wrong at all.
But Master Gao didn't feel any uneasy in his heart, he said that if these people didn't take a fancy to the thirty horses of Tianshan Mu, he would not be able to do it. In fact, these people not only robbed horses, but also women.
Seeing the banner of the tall man, Duoduo and Su Tuoer issued a new order, and the two of them had a team of one hundred horses each, and they suddenly separated from the team. They no longer held back their horses, and rushed from both sides with a roar, encircling the remaining remnants of the enemy in a cloud of sword light.
Only one person escaped, and when Su Tuoer tried to catch up, Duoduo shouted behind him, "You don't want to die, and you don't look at the flag!" He turned around and saw that Master Gao ordered them to return to the brigade. He allowed the sole survivor to escape.
"If you don't let him report the news, how do they know where to get revenge?" ”
Su Tuo'er asked, "Tall lady, let's ...... next?"
"Look at the flag." ”
The flag of the "Datang Tianshan Mu" is slowly shaking out a layer of wave-like movements, like the wind blowing through the field, and the flag bearer is giving orders: replenish the arrows and recover the crossbow arrows. (To be continued.) )
