Chapter 47: Delivered to the door
Between the undulating low mountains, the black war horses galloped, trampling on dead branches, and then one after another the horses' hooves came over, splashing a thick layer of fallen leaves, not far behind, leaving a mess and several corpses.
Occasionally, there was a trilling sound in the air, and then a figure fell from behind a tree, and someone here carefully touched it, and the soft sound of dragging the corpse could be heard. Gongsun Zhi wiped the blood from his face, and the corpse dragged over in his sight was still a scout, but he couldn't tell which side it was.
Since the night before yesterday, they were involved in the scout battle between the two sides, killing while walking, even though they had the assistance of the phantom map, let them kill forty scouts, but their side also lost more than ten people, and several of them were former white horse servants, which made Gongsun Zhi feel extremely distressed.
"If only this map could show place names......"
The morning breeze blew with the chill of the night, he hooked the plush around his neck, turned his head to look at the girl who was leaning on the war horse for warmth, and his own big coat was also given to the other party, but a weak female stream on such a cold mountain could not be parried no matter what.
Over there, Cai Yan's eyelashes trembled, she opened her eyes and saw an aggressive gaze, she gently pulled the big one to wrap herself, she didn't mind the smell of the horse, she shrank under the horse's belly, running and fighting for a day and a night, she was already tired and didn't have the extra strength to speak.
"You... Is this how we live on the prairie? A clear voice suddenly sounded.
Gongsun Zhi put away his scimitar, tore open the sheepskin bag containing the wine, took a sip, and slowly spoke: "It's not all, most of them, we are chasing the Huns and Xianbei people." β
Over there, Cai Yan blinked, the corners of his mouth curled, smiled, and for a moment, he felt that he shouldn't show such an expression, so he lowered his face and looked away, "Nonsense." β
"This is the truth, but we are horse thieves, most of the killings are old and weak women and children, and occasionally we will fight with a small group of Hun cavalry a few times, do you suddenly think that we will not even let go of the elderly, women, and children, it will be very cruel?"
Gongsun Zhi's words were very light, and some people around him looked at him. The girl hugged her knees and frowned slightly, thought for a while, and then shook her head: "...... Be... But I've also seen some records that when the Huns killed our Han people, it was the same, and I haven't seen such a scene...... I don't want to see it..."
"You'll see." A voice from there interrupted her.
Cai Yan remembered that he was captured again, puffed out his cheeks, glared, and then buried his face in his knees, not wanting to talk to the other party. When Gongsun saw her appearance, he wanted to say a few words, his mouth opened slightly, and many red dots suddenly appeared in the phantom in his sight, and then converged into a small flag moving.
Frowning, just as he was thinking, Gao Sheng quietly touched over with a wolf rider, and lowered his voice: "Leader, a rout army passed below us, but before dawn, everyone couldn't see who was chasing and who was fighting." β
Gongsun Zhi stood up and made a reassuring gesture to the girl under the horse's belly, that is, he pushed away the hanging branches, and his vision expanded from the mountainside.
In the early hours of the morning, the shadows were full of shadows, the defeated soldiers fled desperately on the narrow road under the mountain, and then there were speckled fires spreading towards this side, occasionally there would be weapons colliding, and the terrible sound of fighting, perhaps being caught up by the pursuers, and fighting again, but soon the sound disappeared.
On the mountain, Gongsun Zhi and his party stared silently at the movement below, and some of them began to chew the jerky in large gulps, or wiped their weapons, and then raised their knives to form a team.
"Be cautious and vigilant, maybe there are scouts who will follow the large army to search the mountain, and we will move elsewhere immediately." In such a daylight, it is impossible to tell who is on the other side, let alone help.
Then, Gao Sheng led people to the front to open the way, and the team left quietly again.
****************************************
At the same time, another team came from the north, but it went a little faster.
Under the banner with Chinese characters written on it, a nine-foot-tall man, after listening to the news of the scout's return, opened his mouth and smiled: "Sun Jian's defeat? Wouldn't it be just ......" The words paused, and then raised the iron long knife and roared sloppily.
"Warriors of Xiliang, let's go capture the tiger alive-"
β¦β¦
In the south, the generals who fled in panic for a while took seven or eight hundred defeated troops to rest for a while, and then two generals came from the rear with more than 1,000 people to converge, and one after another, another people converged, and there were more than 3,000 soldiers and horses. After Sun Jian calmed down, he found that there was still one less hand, and slashed at the tree next to him with a knife, the shaking tree pole trembled, and his eyes swept over Huang Gai, Han Dang and others.
"Da Rong is still trapped in the Xiliang Army?"
Han Dang and the veteran Huang Gai glanced at each other, pursed their lips and turned their heads, and sighed. Next to him, a general named Cheng Pu stomped his feet and shouted: "Da Rong is my old friend, how can I fold here, I can still fight again, just fight back, and also hit the other party by surprise." β
The blade pulled out the tree pole, and in the color of the green darkness, Sun Jian clenched his fists tightly, and his figure moved, "I, Sun Wentai, have never been so embarrassed, the former overlord can still break through the cauldron and fight a battle, if I wait for the defeat to go back, what face do I have, all the soldiers, do you still have the face to go back?!" β
"Can't!" Everyone shouted in unison.
However, the ground shook, and a group of thousands of soldiers and horses appeared at the mountain pass not very far from their side, Sun Jian and the others were on guard, and in their field of vision, a fast horse suddenly rode on the opposite side, and when they were about to get closer, they threw something from the opponent's hand and rolled and fell in the air.
There was a soft bang, and the rolling black shadow stopped in front of the horse's hooves, Sun Jian looked down, it was a bloody face, but the outline of the person was still clear, and the bloodshot eyes were instantly covered with blood. Next to him, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others shouted: "Da Rongβ"
This is exactly Zumao.
"Kill-" Sun Jian crossed his horse's head and waved his knife at the array of thousands of people over there. Huang Gai and the others roared: "Eat them!" β
Soldiers surged out, murderous.
On the opposite side, in front of the thousands of line-ups, the general who rode his horse raised his sword and pointed: "Kill it-"
The next moment, the figure frantically held a weapon, or rode a horse, or ran wildly, on one side was in high morale, on the other side with the momentum of mourning soldiers, the soldiers on both sides did not put on any posture, just hysterical shouts, and fiercely bumped into it.
The sound of weapons and weapons, the sound of the collision of weapons and weapons, sparks flickered; The weapon poked into the flesh, poof, puff - blood splattered, blade-wielding figures intertwined and killed, and pushed towards each other. Hua Xiong, as one of the few fierce generals in the Xiliang Army, was a strong general, he rode on a horse like an iron tower, a long knife with iron, chopping waves and slaughtering in the crowd, and the blade in front of the horse's head was stained with fine flesh and blood.
Subsequently, it was Sun Jian who appeared in front of him.
The long knife banged, and the other party's family heirloom knife bumped into it, when Mars jumped up, the two immediately separated, both felt their arms slightly numb, before they had time to breathe, a knight on the side rushed over, the iron whip whistled out of the wind, the surrounding was densely packed with people, the sound of fighting was chaotic, the iron whip was smashed on the head of Huaxiong's war horse, the horse body fell violently, and Sun Jian rushed over in front of him.
The ancient ingot knife leaned out of its side, and it was plucked from the bottom up.
Phew-
With a loud sound of gold and iron, the long handle in Hua Xiong's hand was directly broken, and the whole person was hit by the other party's knife and the impact of the horse, and flew out upside down and smashed on a war horse under his command, knocking that person off the horse, and the surrounding Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Cheng Pu all swung their weapons and killed him.
"Wow-"
The man-bear-like figure got up from the ground and fought with the opponent's iron whip with a long knife that was shorter, turned around and raised his arm to clamp the iron spear stabbed from the side under his armpit, the horse's hoof speed did not decrease, and with a bang, Hua Xiong was knocked out. Dozens of Xiliang soldiers stopped them.
Hua Xiong spat out a mouthful of blood, got up and grabbed a cavalryman, grabbed the war horse and broke away from the war group, and struggled to shake the reins and ran to the rear.
**************************************
The shouts of the battle sounded from the mountain, occasionally a few fires came towards the foot of the mountain, and then were shot off the horse by the hidden archers, at this time the sky was already cloudy, or it would not be long before the whole battle would be unobstructed, Gongsun Zhi put down his bow, looked at the sky, and turned his horse's head: "We should go, no matter which side finds us, we will be surrounded and suppressed by the army." β
Immediately, the team turned around and prepared to break away from the mountain, and a moment later, a voice caught their attention.
Gao Shengle turned his horse's head, "Chief, it seems to be coming towards us." β
β¦β¦.
DadaDaDa -
The sound of horses' hooves galloping sounded, and from a distance around the corner, a horse lay on the back of the horse in disarray, looking back from time to time, and then he saw a horse team of hundreds of people in front of him, and saw that it was either the enemy's attire, or he was going to pass by.
Then the other horsemen appeared, drew their bows and shot arrows at the man, and one of the arrows landed weakly in front of a large black horse in the midst of the convoy of horses.
At this point, an arm was raised.
Hundreds of bows were raised, and in the next second, the rain of arrows flew into the sky, and the number of horsemen who were chasing over there hurriedly stopped the horses, and the first one suddenly let out a miserable scream, and an arrow pierced into the shoulder armor, crumbling, and several knights around him hurriedly stepped forward, and they hurriedly turned around and left.
The chasing man stopped, and he gave his hand on the back of the horse in a bit of embarrassment: "Below, Huaxiong, the cavalry commander of the Xiliang Army, thank you for saving this leader!" β
"Hmm... Well? Gongsun Zhi tilted his head: "You are not Sun Jian?" β
Hua Xiong's arched arm stiffened, his expression stunned.
But then, a mace smashed into the helmet from behind, and the whole person fell off the horse with a pop and fainted.
"Tie him up, and when you go back, bring him back to the prairie together."
