Chapter Seventy-Nine: Chaos
The grass stroking, and the insects stopped abruptly.
In the darkness, the bowstring plucked softly, the arrows flew into the black, and the sound of galloping in the wind, trampling...... An unknown night insect had just climbed the blade of grass, and the horse's hooves stepped down, kicking up the mud, and the three war horses galloped, and the figure above suddenly turned around and bent the bow to shoot back, and the figure chasing behind was hit by an arrow and fell off the horse, and then seven knights caught up and made a gesture of pulling the bowstring.
"Be careful—" The clear and muffled Chinese words shouted out from the warhorses ahead, for shooting arrows in the night, it was basically a matter of hearing and luck, and with a low reminder, the arrows swept through the air and flew over their buried heads, "Shoot back at these Xianbei minor." ”
Someone roared, but there was a war horse in front of him, four or five outflanked Xianbei scouts, fierce roars, drawing a knife is a slash, rushing on the war horse, the knife light hit a few times in a row, the first Xianbei knight spurted blood from his waist and fell off the horse, the wolf who wielded the knife tore the leather jacket of the arm, Yin red flowed out, and the pursuing enemy came back and forth in a blink of an eye.
"Let's go—"
"Go back and report the news!!"
With a bang, two voices roared out loudly, and the three Xianbei knights who controlled the two war horses to meet the front slammed together, the flesh and blood made a dull loud noise, a huge impact force, the horse body directly churned in mid-air, and a Han scout was directly swept out by the impact and hit the ground. The two Xianbei scouts who collided with him, one was pushed by the horse's head, and when he fell to the ground, he was no longer human, his bones were broken and his flesh was scattered, and viscous blood kept gushing out of his mouth and nose, covering his neck, and the other flew away, his feet were twisted in a unilateral rope noose, and he was pulled by the horse, and fell to the ground gently, but when the war horse fell down, he was directly pressed down, and there was no sound.
The wolf rider with blood on his arm slowed down and looked back, and the injured wolf rider got up and roared with blood on the corner of his mouth: "Let's go-" The moment the voice fell, he reached out and grabbed the Xianbei knight who rushed from the side, grabbed the opponent's ankle and dragged him off the horse's back, and he was also stumbled by the running war horse, and then pounced on it, biting the opponent's neck and tearing it up.
The six Xianbei scouts in the rear rushed over, and the wolf rider with a bloody arm gritted his teeth, turned around and grabbed the horse's belly, and the horse's hooves galloped, drowning his companions who had bought him time behind him in the darkness, and before long, the sound of slashing into flesh and blood was heard.
"Ahh
He opened his mouth wide, and the wind poured into his mouth, and he wanted to scream, but the sound turned into a hoarse whimper in his throat, and tears blurred his vision, and the wind dried it.
The lonely figure walked away in a southeasterly direction.
*****************************************
In the dark night, countless pairs of feet slowly walked across the grassland, dragging out a long procession.
The armor soldiers from the foreign countries also put on leather jackets, and the wind was a little cold at night, and the old and weak women and children of the white wolf in the middle of their protection were shivering, and only some of them wore warm clothes, but on the whole, the team did not appear to be in a sad state.
"Old... Stephanie rode her horse beside her, looked at the absent-minded girl, and stammered some simple sentences in broken Chinese: "...... What is Han... Shape... Target...... Country...... She...... Beauty...... Leigh? ”
"Beautiful ......" On horseback, Cai Yan looked at the blonde woman, a smile appeared on her face, and she also answered the other party with simple words, her voice was soft, "From here to the south, over the mountains, you will enter the territory of the Han, where there are very good people, they are simple and kind, when the homeland is threatened, they will also fiercely pick up arms, if you go there, you will see a lot of cities, keep walking, you will never be able to count them." ”
Stephanie, who could understand some of the words, but didn't quite understand what the words meant, stroked her blonde hair, and then patted her chest, "...... I...... The home is also beautiful...... The sun is shining...... The stones seem to become... Golden... And also... Al-Quds ...... Is that...... More beautiful place...... If you can go...."
At this point, she stopped.
"Do you want to see your holy city?" When the girl looked at her, the other party was silent for a moment, his eyes were a little dark, his fists trembled, and finally Stephanie closed her eyes.
“…… She lit a fire......"
Cai Yan didn't ask, sat quietly on the horse's back, the two of them walked with the ups and downs of the horse's hooves, she understood the other party's mood, because the Han Dynasty also ignited a fire.
In the deep night, everyone was still walking, quiet and nervously vigilant around, and then a figure on horseback galloped from the northwest, and several people in the team stepped forward to see what was going on, and after a while, they came back here together. Cai Yan glanced over and saw that the scout's arm was still bleeding, and a man who looked to be in his thirties was bandaging his wounds. The man was also talking incessantly, wiping tears from his eyes, and making people feel an uneasy atmosphere spread through the team.
Soon, a strong man named Gerald and Dongfang Sheng came with the scout.
"Stephanie, we're in trouble...... The Scouts of the Xianbei have discovered this place, believing that they will be arriving soon, and must find an easy position to defend and prepare. ”
The brother and sister were communicating in their language, and Cai Yan dismounted and looked at the scout's arm: "...... Will there be any problems with your hands in the future...... Does it still hurt? ”
“…… It doesn't hurt, it's just that my brothers can't come back......" The scout didn't cry, just gritted his teeth and said with difficulty.
The one-armed scholar sighed, his empty sleeves were blown by the wind, and said: "This Su Ren is the scout we discharged, and the two companions with him were rescued from the Xianbei captives together, they fought with the enemy scout several times, but they were still surrounded, and the other two brothers fought for him to escape and report to us, madam, it's time for you to make up your mind." ”
"I... I... Nothing, you are the second leader, this is a matter for you to decide. When the words fell, Stephanie next to her turned her head and spoke in Chinese: "Teacher...... We have to find... Tall... Place... The woods will do too... They had cavalry...... Can't ...... on flat ground."
Dongfang Sheng didn't drag the mud and water, and nodded: "The matter is urgent, so I will do it for me." Immediately, he arched his hand to the figure on the other side, who seemed to have no sense of existence: "Youlao will take care of Madame." ”
Over there, Jian Shuo arched his hand: "Our family knows." ”
Soon after, the team already knew the news that the Xianbei people were about to catch up, hundreds of people from slow to quickened, and ran forward, Yang Heizi told everyone in the team to throw away the heavy things, but no one paid attention to him, these belongings were all their belongings for them.
There were hills in front of him, and there was a small piece of low forest below, Dongfang Sheng urged in front of the team: "If you enter the woods, you don't have to worry about the cavalry of the Xianbei people, and at the same time, you can hide here, everyone hurry up!" ”
The team stumbled and ran in the night breeze of the grassland, and the exhausted figure fell, and the bystanders ran over and dragged each other to that side, and the voice was weak.
"Get up... The Xianbei people are coming...... Get up and walk quickly......"
The noise resounded in the procession, and when the front was thirty feet away from the grove, far away, on the side of the team, black shadows spread in this direction with the light of fire.
The sound of rumbling horses' hooves, it was impossible to tell how many people there were, and the speckled fire dragons spread out quickly from a column, stretching out hundreds of feet away, and then rushing over, with fierce shouts, already indicating that they were not allies.
"Formation—" Gerald's voice shouted to the restless ranks.
The hundreds of foreign shield-wielding soldiers on both sides of the team ran quickly, one shield after another turned out from their backs and raised them in their hands, the sword light was out of the sheath, and the wolf rider on Yang Heizi's side protected the left and right wings, and he shouted: "Ready!" Dozens of wolf riders raised their arms and drew their longbows.
Stephanie and Jian Shuo led the girl and the team towards the forest.
Dozens of arrows flew into the night, in such a poor eyesight environment, archery can only be a chance, the horse's hooves galloped approaching, the wolf rode away from the place and roamed, and then, the opposite arrow rain covered down, the outside of the constricted iron shield formation, like a rainstorm falling rapidly, crackling and nailed to the shield, some of them were rooted in the grass near the formation, densely stretched.
"Let's go!"
Gerald emerged from the shield, roared and stepped on a few feathered arrows that were stuck in the ground, and dragged the greatsword towards the forest, and the hundred men behind him ran while raising their shields, and then, they saw the number of the Xianbei people, only a few hundred horses.
The formation that was already close to the woods turned their backs to the woods, turned around and raised their shields again, and the hundreds of Xianbei knights who came over just divided a hundred horses to chase the white wolf protowolf riders who were wandering over there, and the rest rushed straight to the shield array and the woods behind them.
In an instant, the horse's hooves roared, pulling to zero distance.
In the forefront, the iron shield pressed into the dirt, and one after another burly and strong bodies, green tendons bulged out in their arms, and they let out a hysterical roar, and the next second-
Boom Boom Boom –
Dozens of war horses frantically collided with the iron shield, and then overturned, and when the figure holding the shield was knocked down, the companion who followed closely behind stabbed the blade into the horse's neck, and pulled it out with a bang, and the blood rushed wildly.
The horses struggled and kicked their hooves on the ground, and the Xianbei people covered in blood got up, and the giant sword slashed down, and the blood plasma burst from the skull, and dozens of Xianbei knights rushed in with spears, hitting the iron shield and the strong soldiers behind them, and people were overturned on both sides, and then the foot soldiers and cavalry fought together, and the blood was sprinkled all over the ground in an instant.
On the other side, hundreds of cavalry rushed into the woods, Yang Heizi with more than forty wolf riders wanted to turn around, but the other side also had people come to entangle, the two horse teams in a small circle around the circle to shoot arrows, or swing knives and chop, at this time there was a heart-rending scream in the forest, and the eyes were even more red.
"Kill—" He abandoned his bow and drew his sword and roared.
As soon as he turned the horse's head, he plunged into the semicircle that the other party ran out of, and tore his waist apart......
**********************************
In the woods, blood splattered on the tree poles and slowly flowed down.
The boiling battle suddenly rushed into the woods, and the figures on horseback flipped off their horses and slashed towards the crowd further inside, and in the confusion, Stephanie beside the girl rushed forward like a lioness with the only few Gentile soldiers with swords and shields, and killed each other.
Several figures rushed in front of him, slashing several people who resisted with their swords and then coming towards this side, Jian Shuo drew his sword and gritted his teeth: "Madam, you hide behind the horse, be careful not to be shot by stray arrows." The eunuch beside him reminded him, that is, he greeted him, in the dark, sparks splashed, and a Xianbei man who rushed was directly kicked over by Jian Shuo, and a sword seemed to have cut something, and something was thrown on the branches, but a figure pounced from the side, and the two suddenly rolled into the black.
Cai Yan smelled the smell of blood, covered her lower abdomen and endured the tumbling vomiting sensation, she had seen such a scene on the day she came to the grassland, but it was the first time she faced the fight like this, she touched the horse's back, stared carefully ahead, and then, a black shadow came over and hit the side of the war horse, so frightened that the girl bumped back and leaned against the trees, and the figure rebounded back and lay on the ground.
The horse was startled, kicked her hooves and ran away, she looked anxiously at the figure on the ground, and then the other party moved, and got up from a pile of dead leaves, as if she heard movement behind her, and turned her head sharply, and met the girl face to face.
In the next second, the other party pounced directly, and grabbed Cai Yan's neck with his rough palm, lifting her whole body up.
At that moment, the girl's mind was blank, she was flushed, and she remembered one thing in a hurry, so she quickly reached out and took out a dagger in the leather jacket on her waist, waved it violently, and stabbed it the arm of the Xianbei man.
"Ahh
The man still had a dagger in his arm, screaming in pain and taking two steps back, Cai Yan fell back to the ground, covered his neck and coughed a few times in succession, the injured figure had already pounced, a spear pierced out from the side, pierced into the abdomen of the Xianbei soldier, and the rushing figure roared "Ahhh
Cai Yan remembered that this person was the scout from before, named Su Ren.
The Xianbei soldier, who was not yet dead, hooked his arm and waved it at the man, and the other party shouted with a side face: "Madam...... Kill him—" Where the man's arm was bandaged, the wound had burst open, and blood was pouring down.
Screams and screams buzzed in my ears...... There was a chaotic sound, the wolf riders who were protected around, their golden hair was stained with blood, and they were scattered messily, and the blade cut through the body that pounced, and more than a dozen old people stood in front with sticks and chests, wanting to exchange their old bodies for young lives to live, looking at the blades waving, their faces were fearless.
"Xianbei dog thief, the Han people can't kill endlessly—" an old man shouted.
Cai Yan held his head and screamed, possessed the dagger that fell from the ground, ran over like crazy, and ripped off the person named Su Ren, and the dagger stabbed into the neck of the Xianbei man with a pop.
Blood splashed on her face, hot, and then she released the dagger, the Xianbei man was dead, and she took a step back and sat down on the ground, shivering.
Soon, outside the forest, wolf howls sounded one after another, and dozens of blue-gray black shadows rushed towards them, at the forefront.
A white wolf.
