Chapter 162: Plotting
August 17, Ning County, Youzhou.
Since half a month ago, Gongsun Zhi broke Xianbei Kirby can ride 20,000 horses, only with 8,000 elites from the ambush to break through the siege and flee to the court of the water king, several times want to turn back and fight with the other party, Gongsun Zhi immediately took people away, did not go far, wandered nearby, waiting for him to set off again, and chased up to shoot a wave of arrows on the head and face and left, about ten days of madness raging, when Kirby was able to pass through Ning County, there were only more than 7,000 people left, and the other party was still following at the same time, but also got the supply of the two cities of Guangning and Ning County, even if it was a long journey, you can also change horses and come back halfway.
After the battle from the Arms Mountain, Kirby's idea of attacking Youzhou has long been gone, and now he has to face in addition to Gongsun Zhi's rogue tactics, but also face a sharp decline in morale in the army, at present, only to flee to the royal court is a way to save this team, as for the problem of food, it is also more serious, burning and looting along the way, many places have been pushed into white land, and now he can find someone to stutter, unless he goes to the mountains to hunt, the only way left is to attack the city.
The latter clearly won't work.
Overcast clouds rolled in the sky, insects chirped faintly from the grass, the occasional sun cast on the shoulders of men under the cover of the leaves, and the seven thousand cavalry troops rested briefly under the rolling foothills, and the atmosphere was uneasy.
Around, the cavalry under his command gathered in twos and threes with the people of their respective tribes to eat, some still had residual dry food or dried meat around their waists, and some had nothing on their bodies, and watched their companions eat the food little by little, licked their lips, and then dug up some grass roots and put them in their mouths to chew, the bitterness made him frown, and his eyes were still staring at the food in the other party's hands.
"Gongsun stops...... It's just a scoundrel play, how can anyone do this...... How can anyone be like this...... In the future, if anyone can kill him, they will be able to share Xianbei with me!! β
Kirby can sit on the stone under the tree and grit his teeth, with an arrow wound bandaged on his right arm, he lost his temper and pulled the injury, grinning crookedly in pain, this is when he was shooting with Gongsun Zhi's cavalry before, he was shot and injured by a dark and thin middle-aged man on the other side in the chaos, that person must be a good shooter under Gongsun Zhi.
ββ¦β¦ Shan Yu, at the moment, these things have no effect, now we are still within the scope of Ning County, for half a month, Gongsun Zhi has been hanging behind us, and he always feels that he is waiting for the best opportunity. On the other side of the stone, the slave broke what little jerky he had left in two and handed it over.
Here, Kirby can take the hand: "What chance?" β
"When we're exhausted......"
ββ¦β¦ Thinking back to the battle of Twin Arms Mountain, if I had made up my mind to eat those hundreds of people first, and then have a melee with Gongsun Zhi, I couldn't say who would have lost or won, and I wouldn't have been in such an embarrassment as I am today! β
"It's still the same as before, now we must find a way to confuse the white wolf's sight in order to escape, as long as we pass this level, just return to the royal court or return to the hinterland of Xianbei, and regain our strength so that the wolf will not dare to act rashly."
The voice was flat and analyzed, Kirby could look at the other party, and his fingers broke the jerky, "...... Confusing the line of sight......" He thought, the moment his eyes narrowed, someone in the resting team over there let out a scream, and a Xianbei cavalryman killed another soldier, snatched the food from the other party's hand, and shoved it into his mouth with a pair of fierce eyes glaring at his companions, warning them not to approach.
As he chewed, footsteps sounded behind him, and the Xianbei cavalryman turned his head, his blade slashed down, blood spurted out, and his body fell to the ground with food in his mouth. Kirby pursed his lips and swept his gaze over everyone: "...... I don't mind robbing other people's things, so the things are his, but if you kill someone, you have to do the justice of the law, so his life will also be returned to Fang, do you think it's fair? β
In the light, no one dared to speak, Kirby nodded with satisfaction, and was about to continue his words, when the scout rushed over: "Shan Yu...... Gongsun Zhi is here again! β
Kirby Neng, as if he was stimulated by something, hurriedly turned on the horse's back, tightened the reins suddenly, and waved: "Everyone get on the horse...... Run! The horse's hooves under him quickened, and the crowd around him also hurriedly got on their horses and ran towards the wider field ahead, when he heard a large number of horses' hooves trampling behind, Kirby could smile on his face, and finally distanced himself from the other party again, as long as he kept such a distance and not been overtaken, he could drag back to the royal court, thinking of this, he almost laughed.
Then the roar of trampling came from their north.
"What's going onβ"
"Huns...... How did it appear there! β
ββ¦β¦ Want to be a hunter...... Or a hound? β
This huge number of Hun cavalry killed, suddenly shot arrows, ready to shoot in front of the Xianbei cavalry who were a little caught off guard because of the escape, dense arrows covered down, setting off a wave of blood, "Stop them!" Kirby was able to speak in a hurry and command the slave to lead some cavalry over to intercept it.
The Huns who seemed to be 10,000 horsemen were huge, but after all, they were pieced together, compared with the Xianbei elite who were still accelerating in front of them to intercept them, after all, they were a little worse, and they hurriedly collected their bows and guns and drew their swords in the run, and the two thousand cavalry led by Suo Nu had already crashed into the weak point of the Hun cavalry and tore a hole in it.
In the rear, the other 5,000 Xianbei cavalry ran out of an arc in the gallop, turned around the tide rushing in front of them, and fled desperately almost close to the front line of the battle.
"Shan Yu ......" The lock slave muttered in the chaotic fighting cry when he saw the direction of more than 5,000 horsemen fleeing, and he only now understood that Kirby could look at him before......
"Hahaha...... Haha......"
He suddenly laughed, turned around and raised his gun, stabbing to death one of the Huns who had killed him, and his smile turned desolate when blood splattered on his face.
In the midst of the military formation, Hu Chuquan watched as he had formed a semicircle to surround the two thousand Xianbei cavalry, killing these wild dogs who had occupied their former homeland and retreating, bullying others with 10,000 people, but it made him feel addicted and approached the battle line excitedly.
Zhongjun, Qubei remembered the words of the middle-aged scribe named Li Wen, and then nodded to a henchman beside him, who quietly blended into the crowd with the belly of the horse, and soon after, he drew his bow, and the moment a cavalryman passed his field of vision, the bowstring suddenly loosened, and the arrow flew away with a whizz.
Burst!
Hu Chuquan, who was approaching the front line of the battle, only felt a stinging pain in his neck, and reached out to cover it, but he felt half of the arrow, and the other half had penetrated through his neck, he looked at the blood stained on his hands, and glanced vaguely in the direction of the arrow, and his vision shook, and then, with a bang, he planted the horse.
On the battlefield of fighting, the shouts of people, the cries of struggling to kill, turned into a buzzing noise that penetrated into the ears of the figures on the ground, and the last bit of hearing was gone.
A single one died
