Chapter 22: The Sea of Snow Dry Ice II

Li Sheng turned his head and glanced at Liu Poyu, who was closest to him, Liu Poyu immediately understood what Li Sheng meant, waved his hand, and took dozens of brothers from his team to break away from the array, and galloped in the direction of Yinglong City for hundreds of steps before stopping, and in the diagonal rear of the defensive array of the cavalry regiment, a wedge-shaped charge formation was formed. The cavalry team behind took advantage of the situation and filled the vacant position of this cavalry.

After seeing Liu Poyu's tacit understanding of his tactical layout, Li Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

In the wind and snow, his vision was blurred, and it was impossible to accurately judge the size, organization, and friend or foe of the people in front of him based on his voice alone. Li Sheng, who was familiar with the geography of Longyou, even faintly suspected that the sound of hooves was too small, not quite like the sound of the cavalry marching, unless the enemy had done some special treatment.

However, no matter who came, Li Sheng believed that the light cavalry regiment with a defensive array would not be afraid.

What's more, Li Sheng also proudly placed the cavalry team led by Liu Poyu behind the array, which could be used as a reserve to break the enemy, and retreated to evacuate the battlefield in advance to warn Yinglong City.

Although Liu Poyu is greedy for a cup of wine and loves wine, on the battlefield, he is a good brother that he can definitely rely on with confidence. With Liu Poyu's cavalry team there, Li Sheng believed that he was already invincible first, after all, the main task of his cavalry regiment was to patrol the surroundings of Yinglong City and inspect the enemy's situation.

The sound of hooves was getting closer and closer, and the Qinghai skulls under Li Sheng's crotch twisted their necks uneasily, and the snowflakes shook off their blue and white manes. The Tang soldiers tightened their bows, arrows pointing diagonally upwards, ready to shoot their arrows at any time.

"Moo...... Moo" With a few strange beast roars, a pair of beautiful and slender horns broke through the layers of snow curtains and suddenly appeared in front of Li Sheng.

This pair of long horns covered with frost is slightly bent inward, and the dense lines on them are densely covered with mysterious lines, which can't help but make people's hearts turbulent.

Li Sheng was stunned, and the Tang army beside him had already drawn his bow and stretched the string, throwing a round of feather arrows into the sky.

A feathered arrow went up against the snow, climbed to the highest point, adjusted its posture in mid-air according to the center of gravity of the arrow, and then the arrow pointed downward, following the momentum of the wind and snow, and quickly stabbed downward.

Before the feathered arrows landed, the pair of long, breathtaking horns seemed to hear a sharp whistling sound in mid-air, and paused for a moment.

Beneath the long horns, a pair of pure black eyes flashed with pure confusion and incomprehension. Behind the long horns, there seem to be countless branches and branches that are constantly jumping.

"Stop! Not an enemy attack! Li Sheng shouted loudly, stopping the Tang army from firing arrows again. The array spreads left and right! Get out of the middle aisle! Those eyes deeply stimulated Li Sheng, and he gave such a strange order by magic.

Although the soldiers of the cavalry regiment did not understand too much, they still strictly carried out Li Sheng's order and quickly began to spread out their ranks to both sides.

The cavalry of the Tang Army had just begun to adjust the array, and the feathered arrows in mid-air had reached their maximum speed, screaming and plunging into the ranks of the branches, and then the screams and falls sounded one after another on the surface of the lake.

After being hit by arrows, many longhorns slid on the surface of the lake for a long distance, and some slid all the way to the horses of the Tang Army knights, so shocked that the war horses couldn't help but retreat.

Li Sheng's Qinghai Cong was also frightened by the longhorned beasts gliding all over the ground, and a longhorned beast with an arrow in its back slid directly to the front hooves of Qinghai Cong, so frightened that it couldn't stop snorting.

Li Sheng caressed his foal's neck, but his eyes were fixed on the first horned beast, looking at its eyes as deep as night.

The first longhorn was lucky, except for a stray arrow that grazed its brown fur, and it rushed to the front to avoid the Tang army's not dense rain of arrows. The stray arrow only cut through its fur and did not hurt its muscles and bones, so it did not stop, but accelerated and ran, leading the herd of beasts behind it to quickly sprint past the array that the Tang army was separating.

At this time, many Tang soldiers saw clearly that this group of beasts was the size of sheep, with long and dense fur, and a brown body. Some soldiers with good archery skills also found that not every "wild sheep" had long horns, especially among the herds, where many "wild sheep" without horns were gathered.

The herd of beasts rushed through the passage away of the Tang cavalry, and their sturdy limbs kept knocking down on the thick ice, making a fine hitting sound, which was completely different from the calm and powerful sound of horses' hooves.

"Captain Li, if your subordinates are not mistaken, this should be the West Sea Antelope. Those big horns, hey, can't be wrong, it's the West Sea Antelope. At this time, the West Sea Antelope generally doesn't take this side of the road......" A veteran who had been guarding near the West Sea for many years whispered in Li Sheng's left ear: "...... Captain, the western antelope's fur is warm, and we should hunt a few more. ”

Li Sheng thought back to those eyes as deep as black gems, and didn't listen to the veteran's broken thoughts at all, because he knew that this veteran was a famous broken mouth, and half of his ten sentences were useful.

However, Li Sheng still understood the veteran's intentions, and he shook his head lightly: "I heard that the West Sea Antelope is a rui beast on the snow field, don't hurt it wantonly!" Besides, we've already shot dozens of heads, so we don't have to do more for the sake of greed. ”

"Captain Li, it's just a few beasts...... the veteran didn't give up, and he was still persuading unremittingly.

"Get out of the way!" Li Sheng suddenly shouted angrily, and slammed the veteran's war horse with his left hand, causing the war horse to retreat two steps in a row.

When the veteran was still puzzled, Li Sheng's right hand had already pulled out a horizontal knife and swung it towards the left front.

"Boss, if you don't say a few more words, you don't have to be so angry!" The veteran couldn't help but be a little angry, in terms of seniority, he was much older than Captain Li, but he had never been a tooth soldier, and there were too few opportunities for meritorious service......

"A bold brute, how dare you hurt someone!" Li Sheng turned a deaf ear to the veteran's complaints, and after the horizontal knife he swung out missed the blow, he quickly turned the knife into a stick and pushed it forward.

The horizontal knife flashed, and blood flew quickly on the tip of Li Sheng's knife, mixed with snowflakes, and immediately sprinkled the face of the veteran in the left rear, completely blocking the unfinished words in his mouth.

At this time, the veteran found that a gray, thin and bony snow leopard with a half-blooded tail was screaming in front of his horse, but its claws firmly grasped the corpse of a western sea antelope and did not relax.

The veteran hurriedly took off the horse lance, ready to kill the wounded snow leopard.

Li Sheng pressed the veteran's horse lance with a horizontal knife, "It's a mistake, in fact, it just wants to take the corpse of this Western Sea Antelope, and it has no intention of hurting anyone." All beings are equal, all have a fate, and if someone has injured it by mistake, spare its life. ”

The veteran was stunned, and couldn't cry or laugh at Captain Li, who was full of Buddhist scriptures. He felt that his young boss was really a little stunned, he was a good samurai, holding Buddhist scriptures and poetry books all day long, it was difficult to take the Ming Sutra and Zhongjin Shi! It's really uncivilized, nondescript.

However, in any case, Li Sheng was his boss and had just saved his life under the claws of the snow leopard, so he still put the horse lance back according to Li Sheng's request.

Li Sheng was unaware of the veteran's belly slander, holding a horizontal knife in his right hand, but he just kept thinking of those dark black eyes in his heart, and secretly thought: "Dashuai, I don't know if I handled it right, but I just think that if it were you, I shouldn't be willing to kill in vain!" If it weren't for that, you would have accepted the will of the saint without hesitation, and forged a new battle feat with the flesh and blood of the soldiers! It's not like the tiger is falling in Pingyang now! ”

After the marshal left Longyou, Li Sheng repeatedly thought about the marshal's intentions, and vaguely seemed to be able to understand the marshal's state of mind.

The broken-tailed snow leopard on the ground, because of the injury, hummed and muffled, but the two front paws were still deeply embedded in the belly of the western sea antelope.

The snow leopard's sharp teeth are exposed, constantly writhing around the neck of the western antelope, trying to find the best bite point.

Li Sheng could see that this snow leopard should have been hungry in the wind and snow for a long time, so he was very greedy for the prey that was about to arrive, and he didn't really care about the threat of cavalry, and only thought about dragging the western sea antelope to a safe place as soon as possible.

But the carcass of the western sea antelope in front of Li Sheng's horse head is very fat, and its body is much larger than that of the snow leopard.

Looking at the snow leopard's anxiety and persistence, Li Sheng looked at the dancing spots on the snow leopard's body and silently said: "Humans and beasts have different paths, but they are all sunk under the pressure of survival, so it is said that all living beings are suffering!" ”

"Who's coming?" Liu Poyu's shouting interrupted Li Sheng's reverie.

Li Sheng was taken aback, and hurriedly ordered: "Form a circle!" The West Sea Antelope rushed to the front, but Liu Poyu's high shouting showed that there was something strange behind him.

In an emergency, Li Sheng hurriedly asked the light cavalry regiment to form a circle with a quick rotation from the end to the end, so that no matter which direction the enemy came from to sneak attack, the cavalry regiment could be prepared and quickly adjust accordingly according to the enemy situation.

At this time, the herd of western sea antelopes had completely passed through the passage left by the cavalry regiment, and only the corpses of the western sea antelopes and the snow leopards that could not take their prey were left on the surface of the lake.

The movement of the cavalry unity array frightened the snow leopard to flee in a hurry, but it did not go far, its hungry green eyes still fixed on the carcass of the western sea antelope on the lake.

But before the circle formation was completely formed, Li Sheng heard the sound of feather arrows breaking through the air from behind, and the cavalry hurriedly raised a small round shield with his left hand to protect his face.

Li Sheng didn't rush to get the round shield, but just covered the horizontal knife in front of his chest, his eyes widened, and he focused on capturing the trajectory of the feather arrow.

"Strange! This trajectory? As soon as Li Sheng buckled the Qinghai skull, ready to move forward, he heard a scream of "ahhhhh
