Chapter 2: Fate hangs by a thread
"Nameless rats, I don't know whether to live or die!"
Yang Hao stood in front of the team members, with a gun to protect his chest, the man suddenly reined in the horse and accelerated, the speed of the horse was extremely fast, and he approached Yang Hao's body in a few breaths, the man had a black gun like a poisonous dragon, fast and ruthless, and grabbed Yang Hao's throat.
Yang Hao turned sideways and narrowly dodged over, the man struck and missed, he struggled to rein in his horse and turned around, his face was already a little annoyed.
Yang Hao abandoned the spear, only holding a dagger in his hand, at this moment he only had this enemy general on horseback in his eyes, killing him was the only hope for them to escape.
When the man saw Yang Hao put on a dagger, a burst of anger rushed over his heart, and being looked down upon by a nameless rat was not allowed by the glory in the noble blood flowing through his body. When he came back with a gun, it was still a simple move, straight to Yang Hao's throat.
The man approached Yang Hao in an instant, looking at the constantly enlarged gun head in front of him, Yang Hao did not avoid it as he did just now, but his head was slightly on one side, and he let the gun stick to his neck and pass through, just in this lightning and flint, Yang Hao locked the man's gun with both hands, and instantly turned into the back seat of the war horse with his strength, and at the same time locked the man's waist with both feet, locked the man's throat with his left hand, and the dagger held in his right hand pierced into the man's heart at a speed of five times a second, and finally Yang Hao stabbed the deepest and hardest, and the dagger remained in the man's heart. The whole movement was smooth, the man didn't have time to react, and after a slight struggle, his body stopped moving, and the war horse under him felt the abnormal movement on his back, and for some reason he neighed sadly, and then the person stood up.
Yang Hao took the man's spear and pushed his body down. The man didn't believe that he would be killed by such a nobody, he was unwilling, but the next moment of darkness swallowed his mind, and he could only take this unwillingness to hell.
Yang Hao immediately urged the horse to speed up, and rushed towards the group of soldiers who cowered because of the death of the main general, at this moment, these soldiers who had lost their main general were a flock of sheep in Yang Hao's eyes, and it was impossible to stop him, but for some reason, he was still a little uneasy in his heart.
Yang Hao rode his horse into the encirclement of the soldiers, and the rest of the scout team followed, and they formed two teams, protecting Yang Hao's two wings. Yang Hao is like the sharpest cone of a cone thorn, fiercely embedded in the soldier's formation, Yang Hao by inertia, a shot pierced a person's chest, and then a pick, the person's body instantly flew up, and smashed into the soldier's formation, knocking down several people, Yang Hao picked left and right between the stabs, the soldier's formation was chaotic, the scout team members continued to harvest behind, and after a while, they tore out a big hole in the soldier's formation, and walked away, and hundreds of Xia soldiers who lost their main general did not dare to chase Yang Hao and other dozen people.
Yang Hao and the others got rid of the soldiers of Xia from afar, frightened, Yang Hao became more and more uneasy, he blew a loud whistle, and after a while, a group of war horses that came from nowhere gathered around everyone, everyone got on the horse, and galloped away with Yang Hao towards Qi'an City.
Yang Hao counted the number of people, more than thirty people when they came, and now there are only eighteen people who go back, including him, these are brothers who have been with him for several years, and they all have relatives in Qi'an City waiting for them to go home, but today, some of the masters on horseback can no longer return home.
"Hurry up!" Yang Hao said two words in a deep voice, just two words, and everyone heard Yang Hao's worries.
Everyone smacked the horse's buttocks desperately, not pitying the war horse under the crotch at all, just to be faster.
There were two small mountain bags on both sides of the front, and after passing those two mountain bags, it was a smooth road to Qi'an, but the closer he got to those two small mountain bags, the more uneasy Yang Hao's uneasiness became. The horse's speed did not decrease, and Yang Hao and the others passed through the two small mountain bags in a short time.
The moment he passed the mountain bag, Yang Hao finally knew what his uneasiness came from, only to see that on both sides of the mountain bag, there were two black lines that were constantly expanding, and the dust behind the two black lines was faintly visible, and he trembled uneasily, but this trembling was not because of Yang Hao and others.
"Run!" The moment he saw the two black lines, his heart sank fiercely, how could he not recognize the light cavalry of the accelerated brigade after many years of being on the battlefield.
The city wall of Qi'an is in sight, and at this time, encountering a large group of light cavalry is undoubtedly a death sentence for them, their war horses are not at the same level as the war horses of the elite light cavalry of the Xia Kingdom, and the biggest advantage of the light cavalry is their speed.
Yang Hao and the others kept urging the horses to accelerate, but the distance between them and the Xia Guo light cavalry was still shrinking, the two teams of Xia Guo light horses were like two splints, and Yang Hao and the others were a little ant that was about to be caught by the splint.
There were two thousand Xia Guo light horsemen on both sides, and eighteen people were not as good as a small ant in front of their formation.
"No matter what happens, don't look back, just run!" Everyone in the scout team only heard Yang Hao's words, and then they saw Yang Hao start to slow down, from running at the front to running at the end.
"Big brother!" Li Feng turned his head and shouted.
"Xiaofeng, believe me, go!" After Yang Hao finished speaking, he grabbed the longbow on the horse's back, skillfully mounted the arrow, and aimed at the front of the light cavalry on the left is an arrow, and the arrow hit the horse's belly with a sharp cut through the air, and the war horse suddenly knelt forward, stirring up a cloud of dust. The horse at the front end lost its hooves, and the light cavalry that was galloping at the back did not have time to brake, and several horses that followed closely behind were suddenly tripped and fell, the front end changed, the speed of the light cavalry on the left side was stunned, Yang Hao shot five arrows in succession, and the light cavalry formation on the left was completely chaotic, and Yang Hao used the same technique to disrupt the light cavalry formation on the right, and the two teams of light cavalry completely collapsed the encirclement of Yang Hao and others.
Yang Hao and the other eighteen people broke out of the encirclement, and the backward Yang Hao kept up with the pace of everyone, I have to say that the horse he took from the hands of the Xia military general was still quite good.
The two teams of Xia Guo light cavalry following Yang Hao formed a team, dragging a long tail and chasing after Yang Hao and the others.
At this moment, the beacon fire on the city of Qi'an, the horn sounded loudly, and the officers and soldiers of the brigade and the powerful private soldiers poured into the city, waiting for the surging Xia State light cavalry.
Mao Wen led a group of heroes to the top of the city, and when he saw the scouts fleeing and the Xia Kingdom light cavalry in hot pursuit, they had their own ideas.
"This group of waste, they actually brought the summer thief to Qi'an, they really deserve to be killed!" Wang Jing said indignantly.
Saying this, Feng Qin's rival couldn't help but sarcastically mock him: "Some people! It's just that they don't have long brains by nature, and these scout brothers were hunted down and killed by summer thieves, so what does that mean? It shows that they found the Xia thief who was ambushed outside Qi'an, and the Xia thief didn't want to expose his whereabouts, so he chased and killed them, thinking about whether some people were hiding in the arms of that concubine just now, if it weren't for these scout brothers, some people wouldn't know how to die even if they died. When he said this, Feng Qin looked at Wang Jing with disdain.
Wang Jing was choked by Feng Qin's words, and he was speechless, but he held his breath and had nowhere to vent, so he was about to have a seizure, and no one dissuaded the other heroes, they were all waiting to watch the show.
"Okay, the enemy is now, let's work together, don't always have infighting, look at the summer thieves have come to the city, you are all in the mood!" Mao Wen revealed a deep helplessness, if it weren't for the hopelessness of asking the court for help, he really wouldn't ask for these high-spirited heroes.
"Lord Mao, let's quickly pull up the suspension bridge now! The light ride is fast, if you don't pull now, it will be too late later! Wang Jing said coldly.
"Adults, there are still more than a dozen brothers outside in the scout team, and if the adult draws the bridge, they will definitely die!" Feng Qin retorted.
"Humph! For the sake of a few people, if Qi An is lost, who will be responsible? ”
"My lord, if the Xia thieves capture these brothers alive and torture them under the city, then the hearts of our army will be hit, and everyone will be cold!"
"The surname is Feng, do you have to do it against me?"
"That's it! Don't make any noise, the drawbridge can't be pulled, these eighteen people must be saved! Maowen's words were majestic, but as soon as these words came out, Wang Jing immediately snorted and walked away.
Seeing this, Mao Wen sighed in his heart, but he had no choice, his county order may really be nothing in front of these heroes, he looked up at the eighteen horsemen who were bitten dead under the city, and prayed silently for them in his heart.
"Archer prepare!" Mao Wen gave an order in a deep voice, he only hoped that the archers could drag it and let the eighteen people cross the drawbridge safely, and now he was taking a big risk for these eighteen people, because behind the Xia State light cavalry, the main force of the Xia State had slowly opened, just in order to pick up these eighteen people, if he accidentally let the light cavalry control the drawbridge, the result would be disastrous.
Yang Hao under the city didn't know that a decision by Maowen at this moment saved their lives, he ran at the end, and from time to time he turned around and shot an arrow to interfere with the pursuers, but he had always wondered why the two thousand light horsemen didn't come to shoot in a round, so they must have suffered heavy casualties, but for some reason the two thousand light horsemen just chased after them, and they didn't seem to want to kill them.
Looking at the city gate that was getting closer and closer, Yang Hao suddenly flashed two words in his mind: suspension bridge. At this time, the drawbridge has not been pulled up, indicating that the people in the city want to pick them up, but now that the two sides are so tight, they have passed, and the heavy drawbridge cannot be pulled up quickly, once the light horse crosses the drawbridge and cuts the chain, the consequences are unimaginable.
Yang Hao visually measured the distance, if he started pulling the drawbridge now, the brother in front of him would definitely be able to pass safely, and the light cavalry behind would lose the possibility of occupying the drawbridge. Hesitating at this moment, Yang Hao immediately shouted: "Lift the suspension bridge!" Lift the suspension bridge! ”
Mao Wen also saw the crux of the problem, he gritted his teeth, and gave the order to raise the suspension bridge, the huge suspension bridge slowly rose under the rotation of the gears, and the sound of rhythmic gear turning sounded, like the door of hope was closing.
Li Feng was the first to ride his horse and jumped onto the suspension bridge, then the second, the third, and seventeen people all crossed the suspension bridge safely, leaving only Yang Hao.
Li Feng turned around to take a look, but saw that Yang Hao suddenly stopped the war horse, turned his head and shot the arrows in the quiver at a very fast speed, and the pursuers suddenly turned on their backs.
But the pursuers were too close, and the drawbridge was raised so high that it was impossible for a horse to cross it.
Li Feng dismounted and lay on the inclined suspension bridge and shouted: "Big brother! The crowd shouted, "Captain! ”
With one person alone to defeat thousands of troops, he is not afraid, and this courage makes all the heroes in the city praise and admire.
Everyone thought that Yang Hao was going to die, the pursuers lost the possibility of occupying the suspension bridge, and Yang Hao's chess piece was no longer useful, so they immediately fired a light crossbow and aimed it at Yang Hao.
