Chapter 63: The Unwilling Step Root
Stynifin...... They didn't come to kill us, thank God forbid. β
In the spring field, sparse arrows flew over their heads and landed behind, causing the screams of men to fall, and the horses threw themselves on the ground. This strange foreign cavalry, some people folded their hands, tears hung in the corners of their eyes, their lips kept calling the name of the female knight in front, the pursuit on the road, the corpse was stripped away, this kind of pressure has been suppressed by everyone for too long, at this time, someone came to the rescue, and many people can no longer control their emotions.
The knight named Stephanie stood on his horse and watched, and did not dare to relax his vigilance, holding the patterned knife and carefully raising the round shield on his arm, in his field of vision, this sudden steppe cavalry attacked from the east, and the number was not large, but it was extremely skillful in shooting at the scattered Huns on horseback, but the accuracy was not high.
The blowing of the wolf's throat continued, and the galloping war horse was still accelerating, which made the female knight frown in her visor, "... Are they going to charge? As he thought about it, the cavalry that rushed towards them was about to collide with them a few feet away, and divided into several strands, each with one or twenty men, some of whom were holding their bows and shooting arrows to suppress the speed of the opponent, while the other part drew their blades and quickly approached the side of the horse, tore off the opponent's leather jacket and cut off the horse.
Whoosh β
The sound of countless arrows in this air brushed lightly, the sound of Jin Ming's exchange of blows collided between the weapons, blood splashed on the knife, the horse, and the face of the person, the corpse that fell off the horse's back was trampled by the horse's hooves, Zhi Nahan quickly drew arrows, took arrows, shot out, a knife light slashed, hurriedly blocked with a short bow in his hand, snapped, when the two sections were broken, the backhand pulled out the weapon on the waist and slashed towards the other side, a war horse approached, the knife light was handed over, and the two blades collided, jumping out of sparks.
The gang of horse thieves who attacked in front of him, the other party was all Han slaves, homeless people, last year on the grassland killed a river of blood, slaughtered a lot of Huns, Xianbei small tribes, caused a lot of panic, he was in the Northern Huns also heard of some, rumors said that the leader of the other party often has a big white wolf around him, and the wolf language, this group of horse thieves tactics are also transmitted through the wolf language on the battlefield.
In the past, I didn't feel anything if I didn't have contact, but now the opponent's tactics seem to be very aimed at the Huns' fighting style, and they will eat to death on their side.
"Gather the formation." In the end, he couldn't help but give the order.
Behind him, the horse's hooves made a heavy sound when they stepped on the ground, and Zhi Nahan felt his scalp tingle, and a killing intent came from behind, and he reflexively turned around and slashed his arm behind him.
The wide giant sword arced in mid-air, it was a loud bang, and the heavy soldiers slammed down on the thin blade, he only felt the arm holding the knife tremble numb, and unconsciously sank backwards, the giant sword was like a mountain, pressing the blade against his chest, and the huge force pushed the whole body off the horse's back, rolling, and then a horse thief galloped from the side, and the blade poked outβ
Zhi Nahan got up, his pupils constricted suddenly, the blade crossed his eyes, and then his vision was thrown into the sky, tumbling, as if time had slowed down, and his men were chased by a group of horse thieves, or were hit by arrows, or chopped off their horses by blades slashed from the side...... Then his eyes fell heavily on the grass, and in the remaining light, an unknown insect slowly climbed on the blood-stained grass......
Everything went dark, and life came to an end.
β¦β¦
The killing around stopped, the remaining Huns had fled away, the battle line was retracted, and the big man wielding the sword also got off the warhorse, inserted the tip of the sword into the ground, the iron piece of the shoulder armor trembled, and bowed to the horse thieves around him with one hand on his chest, "On behalf of the Holy City, Ugerard thanked the Eastern Knights for their help. β
The breeze caressed his long hair like a lion's mane, and his words did not usher in the same voice, and in his lowered gaze, the horses approached, and the bowstrings squeaked and twisted towards him.
"Strangers..."Dongfang Sheng rode a horse and watched from a distance, waving his hand: "Take it all back... These people's armor and horses are good, and perhaps the leader will like it. β
The helper suddenly turned into an enemy, which made many of the foreign cavalry who had settled down feel uneasy, but fortunately the other party did not execute them with arrows, but there was room for turn, in the crowd, the female knight looked at the arrows aimed at her, and the moment she clenched the pattern knife in her hand, she let go, she knew that this group of people was even more fierce than just now.
She took off the full-covered helmet with feathers, tucked it under her armpits, her long golden hair hung down on her shoulders like a waterfall, and her long legs with sewn tight leather pants and leg armor stood on the ground at this time, even more slender and round, a few strands of hair on her fair face looked a little tired and decadent on her forehead, and her light blue eyes looked at the scholar over there with a faint coldness.
Perhaps from an aesthetic point of view, there are not many people around who think this foreign woman is amazing, at most it is unusual.
Stephanie slowly closed her eyes, threw the sword and shield in her hand to the ground, lowered her head, and her voice was a little hoarse: "... Warriors of the Holy City, we ...... "choked up," ...... I can't go home. β
"Take awayβ"
Dongfang Sheng couldn't understand what they were talking about, so he waved his hand.
β¦β¦
The sky is dark, beyond Daijun, the Xianbei tribe in the north, speckled fires spread out in the tribe of tens of thousands of people, overlooking from the sky, tens of thousands of large tribes, camp tents densely dotted on the field, the dim fire swaying the figure of people in the darkness, some people around the bonfire eating little food, or singing and dancing in the cheers of the crowd.
Walking along the straight road vacated in the middle of the tribe, inside the huge tent in the very center, the atmosphere became solemn, and Budugen squinted at the brazier in the middle, a short knife between his fingers swaying.
"That horse thief leader is Gongsun Zhan's son?"
Below, the servant who bowed down nodded: "The merchant who came over there in Youzhou did say so, the prestige of Lu Bu, the former three British battle generals in Bishui Pass, has spread, and I haven't heard the news of Gongsun Zhan's denial, so I think it's true." β
Whew-
The short knife buzzed out of his hand, nailed to the sheepskin blanket at the man's feet, and stood on the sheepskin blanket at the man's feet, so frightened that the other party trembled, and the figure on the opposite side of the wolf skin stood up and clenched his fists: "Gongsun Chan can fight with Kebi in the right north flat, if I can take down this son of Gongsun Chan and force him to submit, his prestige will naturally exceed that of the rest of the tribes...... The people of the tribe will come and join themselves, and sweep away the current slump. β
"Andβ" he walked across the blanket and pulled out his short knife from the ground, "last year, I underestimated this man, suffered a great loss, and recuperated from his injuries for several months, and this time I got it back by the way." β
Budugen shoved the short knife in his hand into the servant's hand, "Take it, go to the surrounding tribes and gather men...... The white wolf was surrounded. β
The man held a short knife with a delicate pattern in his hand, and answered it, but before he could leave, he heard a voice of gnashing his teeth and saying, "I will shoot a few arrows at that man with my own hands, and I will be relieved of my hatred." β
Immediately, he kicked the brazier out with a bang, and the flames fell into the air and landed on the woolen blanket, and after a while, the whole camp was busy, rushing to put out the fire with the water that was consumed at home.
