Chapter 53: Sleepy Sun Ridge
The horse-made Lu was fast, and the bow was like a thunderbolt.
After running wildly for more than ten miles, Yang Shuang slowed down his horse, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and looked behind him with palpitations.
Sure enough, the man caught up.
Just now, the moment the war knife split the head of the Turkic centurion, he saw a familiar face!
Ashina Rahu!
The other party seems to have been eyeing him for a long time, bending his bow like a full moon and arrows like shooting stars.
In a flash of lightning, Yang Shuang subconsciously snatched the shield from the butt of the Turkic centurion war horse, and used the violent tiger Feng He, which was able to avoid the fatal blow to the chest.
Thrilling!
There was no time to breathe a sigh of relief, Yang Shuang hurriedly slapped his horse and rushed out of the battle circle and ran to the south!
He wouldn't be stupid enough to think that relying on two hundred sword and shield soldiers, he could win Rahu, which had a combat power of 95.
Even if Shi Da is added, and then a young version of the bearded guest is found, it is estimated that he will suffer heavy losses.
He must be lured away, or he must be killed!
It's just that I don't know if the killing beings who are temporarily stationed in Yangguan have left the Buddha.
Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Dao Ye help!
"Sui will not go, Lao Tzu has been looking for you for several months without success, I never thought that I would obediently send it to the door! It seems that you haven't broken your promise, and you are indeed waiting for me in Dunhuang! Look at the arrows! ”
"Whoosh ·····"
Rahu's arrows were fast, weird and tricky.
Yang Shuang screamed bitterly, just now the blind cat ran into a dead mouse, and used his skills to dodge the deadly attack, and now while riding his horse and galloping, he looked around, how could he find the trajectory of the feather arrow!
You can only put a round leather shield that resembles a pot lid behind your back, hoping to protect the vital points.
Cluster ·····
He seemed to take it for granted, and there was a tingling pain in his back as the iron bolt stabbed into the leather.
Feel at least two inches into the meat!
Yang Shuang didn't dare to move the leather shield, clamped the horse's belly, and accelerated again.
Arrow wounds are no better than knife wounds, and the iron arrows do not enter the skin and flesh, just like a fish biting a barb, and if you want to take it off, either the skin will open the flesh, or people will leave it alone, and there is no other choice.
However, the horse's back jolted, causing the shield to rise and fall, pulling the shaft of the arrow, and soon pulling the feathered arrow out of the flesh.
"Hiss·····"
Feeling the hot flow of his back slipping down, Yang Shuang shook off the leather shield, took a deep breath, and tightened his linen clothes to tie the wound.
You can't be beaten passively!
The opponent's strength is too strong, and it is completely useless to defend with a leather shield.
Thinking of this, Yang Shuang quickly took out a stone longbow from the secondary weapon slot, the bowstring trembled slightly, and the feather arrow had already come out of his hand.
After months of hard practice, although the archery skills did not improve by leaps and bounds, it was enough to contain the opponent and prevent him from shooting unscrupulously.
Luo Hu saw Yang Shuang's arrow, as well as the blood occasionally dripping from the belly of the war horse, and did not take it lightly, this Sui general was a little strange, and he couldn't help but cheer up.
"Whoosh......"
The feathers and arrows came and went, and under the intentional or unintentional restraint of both sides, they were all inaccurate, and it didn't take long for all the arrows to run out.
Yang Shuang was secretly anxious.
If there is a giant shield in his hand, if his back is not injured, he will definitely dare to fight to the death with Rahu.
But the violent tiger Feng He has been used, only a broken cauldron is left, and he is bleeding more than now that he is bleeding, if he uses it improperly, he may not need to do it without Luo Hu, and he will die with a whimper.
How to break?
chased and fled, and the two had run for more than 50 miles.
Nearly half the way away, you will arrive at Yangguan.
Caressing the war horse's wet and long sideburns, Yang Shuang suspected that it wouldn't be able to hold out there!
It's not this Ma Taici, but the two of them have been running wildly, and the consumption of the war horses is far from a normal hurry.
"Huh...... Whoop......"
The horse's breathing became heavier and heavier, and under the scorching sun, the wet hair mixed with sand and dust quickly condensed into lumps, clinging to its body like a paper shell.
Can't run anymore!
Otherwise, this head horse, which was carefully selected from the herd, would have suffocated to death on the wasteland due to heat dissipation problems!
In fact, Yang Shuang has a deep affection for war horses.
The reason why I have to eat horse meat at every turn is also forced by the form.
In the previous life, almost everyone rode a horse, and those war horses were hard-working, practical and capable, and never hesitated to travel long distances.
But when he came here, he found that the war horses were all unruly, and even if they sneaked twice at night, they refused to follow!
Eh, he will never admit that the second horse of the Dunhuang lord is this baby pimple under his crotch.
Rubbing the horse's sideburns again, Yang Shuang was a little distressed.
Originally, it could carry a man of one hundred and forty or fifty pounds and gallop on the battlefield, but when his own two-five-six stepped on its saddle, it meant that it would have to carry more than one hundred pounds of weight than others in the future!
It's like having one more big beauty!
"Huh...... Whoop......"
The war horse gradually slowed down, seemed to lose some strength, and its limbs fluttered slightly.
Fifty miles, two quarters of an hour!
It has run sweaty BMW results.
Yang Shuang turned over and jumped down, endured the sharp pain in his back, rolled on the sandy wasteland, unloaded the momentum, stared at Rahu with his eyes, and stood up.
Seeing the master landing, the war horse sighed, turned back, and gently pulled Yang Shuang's shoulder with a coveted mouth.
It seems that it also knows that the person in the back is not easy to deal with.
"Get out of here!"
Yang Shuang patted the horse's head and let it continue south.
Now run to the southern foot of Mingsha Mountain, no longer need to worry about the water source, look at the location of Yangguan, all the way to the south, and soon be able to set foot on the Yangguan Ancient Road, where there is water, there is field, whether it is a thief or an army, will not treat a good horse!
"Da Da ......"
Before the horse left, Rahu had already chased after him.
The war horse under his crotch is full of energy, his temples are not wet, and his lips are not white, and he seems to have a lot of spare strength.
Good horse!
Yang Shuang tightened his linen clothes again, tightened the arrow wound in his back, held the war knife, and decided to deceive the other party, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, taking his head with three knives, and immediately snorted coldly: "Rahu, do you know what kind of place this is?" ”
In ancient times, there was a falling phoenix slope, and the phoenix chick died and disappeared. Later, Yang Linggong died in the battle of two wolf mountains. Even in ancient times, Wen Zhong was also planted in Juelong Ridge.
Gotta give this wasteland a strange name!
His surname is Ashina......
No, the Turks have only risen for a hundred years, and even if the written language has just been created, can they understand the broad and profound Chinese?
Wolf Slayer Cave!
Well, the name is concise and straightforward! I guess the barbarian should be able to understand.
Yang Shuang was about to speak, but was interrupted by Luo Hu raising his hand.
"There are sand mountains in the east, sand sea in the west, Yangguan in the south, Dunhuang in the north, there is no grass and no water here, you must go south to Yangguan, or go north to the dark water, in order to find a glimmer of life. If it's a horse and a donkey, and a camel, you can survive after half a day, but if it's a lamb...... It's hot, their wool is heavy, and they're too lazy to run, so they'll be trapped here! And because this place is higher than the surrounding area, it resembles a mountain, and the scorching sun shines here much longer than the surrounding shallow depressions, so it has a name......"
Yang Shuang's face changed several times.
Ma Dan, messing around, the person who was deceived turned out to be himself!
Luo Hu took a good time, not afraid of Yang Shuang running away, and said slowly: "Sleepy Yangling!" ”
"Hehe......" Yang Shuang laughed dryly.
Just like names, there were many taboos in ancient times, including place names.
The five elements clash with each other, and the names are mutually reinforcing, so you can't easily step into this place!
Hearing Luo Hu say this, recalling the marks on the map, Yang Shuang felt a chill.
Here, it is indeed Sleepy Yang Ridge!
Before, Wu Kun suggested that he take Yangguan lightly, and he also specially instructed that if he passed through this place, he must detour!
