At the beginning of Jing Ran's group's separate actions, the general of the Xirong army in the territory of Qin, the little prince of Xirong, already knew that his troops had encountered an army from Zhongzhou, they were not many in number, but they were skilled in cavalry and archery, and they were obviously not ordinary Qin patrol soldiers.

At the front of Xijon's troops, a young, slightly pale young man was listening to the report of his subordinates on a maroon horse.

"The army we encountered was not very numerous, and from the scouts they scattered around, it was clear that they would not number more than a hundred, perhaps less."

The Xijon cavalry paused and continued: "But the strange thing is that this army seems to have no intention of fighting, but as soon as the scouts engaged in battle, they immediately had no news, and even disappeared directly, and their scouts were skilled in arching and horses, and they were not even better than us, and the three of us fought with them alone, one was wounded and one died. ”

"Oh!"

When the little prince heard this, he instantly came to his senses, in this world, the barbarians who are located north of the Zhao country can compete with them in riding and shooting, he really doesn't know which country in Zhongzhou has such a powerful cavalry.

"Where are they coming from, can you figure it out?"

The Xirong cavalry thought for a while and scratched their heads: "I don't know, but the attire of this unit is not the outfit of the Qin soldiers, and they don't have armor on them." ”

The little prince thought for a while: "Yutu! ”

After a while, a Xijon warrior holding the map handed it to him.

Their current location is east of Ganzhou in the Qin State, and according to the news they have gotten, the King of Chu who robbed his fiancée happened to arrive in Ganzhou not long ago, so that the time when they met the King of Chu should not be too different from now, which is one of the reasons why the Xirong troops entered the Qin State from here, and the place where they appeared was the only way for Jing Ran to pass.

"It should be him."

The Xirong soldiers were puzzled for a while: "Who?" ”

"Hehe, who else, is the guy who snatched Prince Ben's fiancée."

"Ahh

All the Xijon cavalry were happy.

"Haha, I'll catch him today, I'm going to kill him alive"

"That's it, catch him and clean up well, and go against our little prince!"

"That's it!"

The Xirong cavalry below were all gearing up and eager to try.

snatching the little prince's fiancée is insulting the entire Xirong, as a man in Xirong, this field must be recovered!

But now they weren't sure in what direction Jing Ran and his party were running.

The little prince pondered for a moment: "Everyone is divided into two teams, chasing them in the east and west directions, and after two hours, if they don't see the enemy, they will meet the other team in reverse!" Let's go! ”

After speaking, he took the lead in riding his horse, and his direction was the direction in which Jing Ran fled - the west.

Here Jing Ran and his entourage are also fast horses to avoid the little prince's Xirong cavalry, he knows that his cavalry, one-on-one, they can fight against any Xirong warrior, but their number is too small, only a dozen or so, and the other party has a thousand people, no matter how you look at this battle, it is not possible to fight, for today's plan, only to catch up with Li You first, let his five hundred Royal Forest Army to help. Five hundred against one thousand, although the number is not superior, but the Qin State is famous for its tactics of breaking the cavalry infantry.

What Jing Ran didn't know was that the little prince had divided his troops into two ways in order to catch him safely, so that the number of himself plus Li You's Imperial Forest Army and the little prince would be the same.

But Jing Ran had a big question in his heart, was Li You or Qin Guo really willing to offend Xirong for himself?

Just when Jing Ran was pondering, the news of the Xiao Cavalry Guard scout came from behind him: "I found the Xirong cavalry ten miles behind me, the speed is extremely fast, and it will catch up in half an hour!" ”

"So fast!" Jing Ran was taken aback.

"Quick, don't tolerate the horsepower, hurry up and catch up with the Qin army, and we will be saved!"

Everyone whipped them hard, and the horses were in pain and ran faster, and at the same time that Jing Ran found Xirong, Xirong also found them.

"Little prince, look, the dusty one in front must be the fat sheep!"

The little prince was overjoyed: "If you catch up with him and capture that person alive, this prince will reward 1,000 cattle and sheep!" ”

"Roar!"

After everyone heard this reward, they instantly came to their senses, isn't it just a cowardly southern fat sheep, it is simply a reward for nothing, all the Xirong cavalry at the moment have accelerated their horsepower, wanting to take this reward for nothing.

Although Jing Ran sent people to ask for help in advance, even if Li You's troops arrived, he was already cold, and the sound of the horses' hooves of Xirong's army in his ears was getting closer and closer.

Suddenly, he thought that when he set off from Linjiang City, Gongsun Zhi gave himself and each of his sergeants a bag of things, saying that it could be used in an emergency, Jing Ran grabbed a small bag from the side of the saddle, only to feel that this bag was heavy, and slightly prickly, the horse slowed down a little, and took out one from the bag, and Jing Ran was overjoyed.

"It's thistles!"

Jing Ran shouted, change formation! With a wave of his left hand to the side, all the cavalry sergeants understood, and immediately changed from a chaotic formation to a horizontal row.

Then he instructed the sergeants to run forward and scatter the thistles in their bags onto the road.

"I can stop them a little bit."

Tribulus terrestris is the name of a weapon, mostly with four acute angles, one of which is used to hinder enemy ground men and horses. As long as it is scattered, there will always be a horn pointing upwards, which is a weapon specially used to block the dense formation of cavalry.

And the current situation is just right, the Xirong cavalry has always been dominated by dense cavalry formations, and the distance of each horse is within five paces, although the flexibility has been reduced, but the dense cavalry formation on the battlefield is a great psychological pressure for the opponent.

And although the thistle terrestris can't stop the Xirong cavalry for a long time, it can slow down their progress and damage their horses, which is the only way now.

After a while, more than ten packets of tribulus terrestris were sprinkled, Jing Ran looked behind, nearly a hundred steps away were tribulus terrestris, as long as Xirong kept chasing him and entered it, he would definitely be able to delay them for a while, and the time of this meeting might be able to kill them.

And the army of the little prince of Xirong, who was in hot pursuit, saw Jing Ran and his party getting closer and closer, and their hearts became more and more happy, "Quick!" has been urging his cavalry.

What he didn't know was that the Xijon cavalry happened to be in the middle of the thistle array that had been set up. And they didn't notice it.

Just when the Xirong cavalry was in pursuit, only a "bang" was heard, and there were more than ten horsemen at the front of the cavalry formation, and the two of them were thrown to the ground with their horses, and the horses were neighing, and as for the cavalry, they were directly rushed down by the comrades behind them, and they stepped under the horse's hooves.

"Slow down!"

Seeing the chaos in front of his team, the little prince of Xijon hurriedly ordered to slow down his horse.

"What's going on!"

The little prince asked loudly: "Go and see what's going on ahead!" ”

After a while, a Xirong cavalry came to report: "Back to the little prince, it was the enemy who released thistles, and we have more than ten brothers killed and wounded, and more than 20 horses have also been wounded. ”

The little prince was furious, but he didn't expect that he was eager to chase the enemy, and he actually suffered the loss of such a little trick.

"Turn the horse's head around, leave fifty men behind, and take care of the dead and wounded brothers!"

Since ancient times, Xirong has rarely left the corpses of his own dead clansmen on the battlefield, and no one raised any objections to the little prince's order, besides, he still has more than 400 people, will he be defeated by Jing Ran's dozen or so people?

After saying that, he ordered the horse's head to be turned around, bypassing the thistle formation in front.

However, as soon as they stopped and left, they gave Jing Ran a chance to survive, and at this time, the people sent out by Jing Ran first had already caught up with Li You's troops escorting Xiao Yue.

Li You looked at the abandoned war horse in front of him and the horse guard in front of him who was already tired to the ground, and also fell into deep thought.

If you go to save Jing Ran, your five hundred Royal Forest Army will not be afraid of their Xirong cavalry, although the Royal Forest Army is mainly infantry, but Qin and Xirong have fought for I don't know how many years, and they can't say that they are the first in the world with the ability to break through the cavalry, but it is not a problem to deal with a cavalry of about 1,000 people, Qin is famous for attacking hard crossbows all over the world, and he is naturally not afraid to meet Xirong swords on the battlefield, but the most headache for him is that after the war really starts, how to explain to the ministers in the court, can not let the king not come to the stage.

And Xiao Yue in the carriage also heard that Jing Ran was in danger at this time, and strode towards Li You, Li You looked at Xiao Yue who was walking towards him, and had a plan.

"Princess, I know what you want to say, but now I need you to write a letter to the king at once."

"Why?"

Xiaoyue looked at Li You puzzled, now Jing Ran's life and death are uncertain, what can she do by writing to her father.

But Li You's idea was to write a letter to the king first, saying that his car encountered the Xirong cavalry, and Li Youbu was forced to fight back!

When the time comes, if you win, of course you won't be blamed too much.

If you lose... Let those courtiers come to the battlefield and point to my bones and curse.

After Li You told Xiao Yue about this idea, although he couldn't solve the urgent need, he could give Li You a legitimate reason to send troops to rescue Jing Ran.

"I'll write it now!"

Li You looked at Xiao Yue, who returned to the car, and rubbed his hands.

"I've been waiting for five or six years for this battle, and now I can actually fight Xijon here, hehe."

If Jing Ran knew that this Li You was also a person obsessed with the flames of the battlefield, I don't know how he would feel, but as a soldier, there is nothing wrong with fighting for the country and fighting for faith.

"Obey all orders, take all weapons and equipment, run east, and prepare to start war against the Xijon people who are invading the princess's chariot!"

"Roar! Roar! ”

At that moment, Li You instructed his own soldiers to take care of the Xiao cavalry guard sergeant who delivered the letter, and left fifty people to escort the princess's chariot, while he led the remaining four hundred and fifty people to march in the direction of Jingran.

And although Jing Ran had a small tribulus terrestris to block the Xirong cavalry and injured some of them, the Xirong cavalry of the brigade had slowly caught up, and their horses had slowly slowed down in the long run, and some of the horses of the cavalry guards had already foamed at the mouth, and they were running down, and their own group did not need to be chased by Xirong, so they had to die of exhaustion here first.

"Brothers, it seems that we can't get out."

Jing Ran stopped his horse and looked at the group: "Are you afraid?" ”

"Don't be afraid!"

These remaining cavalry guards were still the strongest cavalry in Great Chu, and they were fearless.

"We're going to fight the guys on the other side to the death!"

"I wish to die with my son!"

Generosity is easy to do, and death is calm. But throughout the ages, how many people have calmly died for their homeland, for their beliefs, and for their country! Today, Jing Ran and his brothers are too.

"I know that some of you may still have contact with Jingyu, if you want to leave, I will never stop you, but if you fight to the death today, if you live, you will all be my brothers!"

Jing Ran knew that there were Jingyu's spies among his people, and now he said this, not to avenge a small revenge, but to give himself an explanation, he didn't want to die in a daze.

When he said this, there were relatively small sergeants among the cavalry guards, with tears in their eyes.

"I will never be separated from my brothers!"

Jing Ran and the other Xiao Cavalry guards looked at this secret agent, if it was in normal times, they would definitely rush to chop this person with their own hands, but now, he took the initiative to stand up and die with everyone, where else can such a brother go!

"Brother, no matter what you have done before, if you are lucky enough to be alive after this battle, you are also my brother!"

Jing Ran stopped the spy who was about to speak, waved his hand, and signaled that everything was over.

Jing Ran fed the last bit of food in the bag to his war horse, and patted this good friend who was running all the way with him. Then Jing Ran drew his saber and quietly looked at the Xirong cavalry running towards his group.

Five hundred steps, four hundred steps, three hundred steps, two hundred steps.

The Xirong cavalry on the opposite side actually listened, and they all looked behind Jing Ran.

Jing Ran was puzzled, and heard an earth-shattering roar: "Roar! ”

Then a familiar voice came back: "Array!" Broken Ride! ”

"Broken Ride! Broken Ride! ”

Then there was the sound of neat footsteps and earth-shattering sounds.

Jing Ran looked back, and the handsome flag read: Daqin, Li

"Saved."

Jing Ran's heart suddenly relaxed. He waited for Li You, and waited for the hope of living.
