Seeing that the Huns were retreating, Shao Lei stepped forward to move the wooden fence temporarily erected at the mouth of the valley. was stopped by Li Yanzhao. Li Yanzhao knows very well that this piece of flat river outside the valley mouth. If they encounter an ambush of the Huns after leaving the valley, they will be forty or so people, but they will end up with nine deaths and one life.

Therefore, after the observation post on the top of the mountain confirmed that the Huns had indeed withdrawn, and there was no movement to return after an hour, Li Yanzhao sent a few cavalry soldiers out to observe and search on the top of some nearby commanding heights. After confirming that there was no enemy, he moved away from the obstacle at the mouth of the valley and led his cavalry out of the mouth of the valley, all the way to the valley mouth where the remnants of the soldiers in the north were entrenched.

Now that the Huns had retreated, Li Yanzhao became interested in the remnants of the army that were hunted down by these Huns. He wanted to see what the origin of these people who had spent so much effort on the Huns and wanted to put them to death.

Li Yanzhao led his cavalry to ride his horses, slowing down to the valley mouth on the north side where the remnants of the soldiers were entrenched. The slope of the mountain here is steep, and although the view is not high, it is steep and abnormal. Walking to the mouth of the valley, there was still no sound inside. There is no one to be seen. Li Yanzhao had doubts in his heart, so he controlled the horse and took two steps forward.

However, before the horse could stand firmly, Li Yanzhao heard an inaudible sound of breaking the air in the air. Suddenly, his expression changed, and before he could identify the direction of the sound and make a dodge move, a feathered arrow was already planted on the ground half a step away in front of him. The horse was startled when he sat down, and his front hooves were raised, and the tail of the arrow, which was still trembling, was suddenly drowned in the dust raised by the horses' hooves.

Li Yanzhao calmed the emotions of the military horses under his seat, and after they stabilized a little, he pointed to the half of the feather arrows inserted in the ground, and said loudly to the valley: "I thought that since you were forced by the Hu people, you must be friends rather than enemies. Could it be that this is the way of hospitality of the kings? ”

Between the words, two horsemen stepped forward and protected Li Yanzhao with a round card, one left and one right. And all the horsemen behind them also took out the medals and held them in front of them. It's like a great enemy.

After Li Yanzhao sneered, it didn't take long for someone to come from the side of the valley: "You are actually Han? But I don't know, which dock fort is it? ”

Although the human voice came, through the echo of the valley, it was still in my ears. However, Li Yanzhao raised his eyes and looked around, but there was no one in sight. Presumably, the person who questioned him should have hidden in the dense forest on the mountain. Probably just been chased and killed all the way, and at this time he was still in shock, so he didn't dare to show up easily. lest these soldiers in front of Taniguchi be friends and enemies, and they will be disadvantageous to themselves.

"We are the cavalry of the Liangzhou Army! I came here to do the work of the sentry, and I also looked at the brother on the mountain to pass through the door. Li Yanzhao saw that the opposite side was hiding his head and tail, and repeatedly tried to ask him where he came from. Therefore, I felt a little impatient, but I still answered with good words.

After Li Yanzhao answered, the other side suddenly fell silent. After a long while, Fang Cai's voice continued to reply: "That being the case, brother, wait a minute. I'll send someone down the mountain to talk to my brother. ”

The man's voice echoed through the valley for a long time before it dispersed. About half a pillar of incense passed, at the edge of the dense forest at the foot of the mountain, a capable descendant in leather armor appeared, walking forward quickly, reaching Li Yanzhao's horse.

Li Yanzhao took a closer look at the future life, and looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, although he had been in the dust all the way, and he had been under the pursuit of the Huns. Not to mention, his face was covered with blood marks scraped by the shrubs in the forest. However, this person didn't care, and came up to salute Li Yanzhao, and between his demeanor, he showed an old man who was not suitable for his age.

"I don't know what the general is called?" The young man saw Li Yanzhao sitting upright on horseback, his clothes and armor were distinct, and his bearing was extraordinary. Therefore, a small drum was also played in my heart. As he spoke, he quietly retracted his left hand, protecting a knife opening on the left side of his leather armor.

That opening was not big, and Li Yanzhao didn't even find it after looking at it for a long time. However, the young man's shrunken action to cover up made Li Yanzhao see the opening that was opened by the knife. Obviously, it was probably left over from the bloody battle with the Huns.

Seeing the young man's posture, Li Yanzhao couldn't help but laugh dumbly. It was only when he saw the other party's ashamed serious look that he put away the irrelevant thoughts in his heart. He hugged his fist at the young man and saluted: "I am a hundred generals of the cavalry battalion of Guangwu County, Liangzhou, and my name is Li Yanzhao." ”

When the young man heard this, he immediately bowed respectfully and said, "That being the case, we are really disrespectful. I beg your pardon, General Lee. ”

Li Yanzhao waved his hand on the horse's back, signaling that he was not to blame. The young man, however, had bypassed him as if he had been familiar with him, and looked instead at the soldiers who were waiting on horseback behind him.

The young man scrutinized the soldiers in the front row. Seeing it, endless doubts filled everyone's hearts. Seeing this, Shao Lei just wanted to reprimand the young man, but before the words came out, the young man had already pointed to a tall soldier in the front row and asked, "This military master doesn't know where he is, and he looks strong." ”

The soldier did not answer immediately, but turned his head and cast an inquiring look at Shao Lei, the leader of the team on one side. Shao Lei nodded slightly almost invisibly. The soldier looked back at the young man, and then raised his head and replied, "I am from Huaili, Yongzhou." In the autumn of the ninth year of Jianxing, he left his hometown and fled to Guangwu, Liangzhou, and then joined the army. He is currently the commander of the cavalry battalion of the Guangwu Army. ”

The young man pointed to the man, but it was Qin Dayong. During this time, Li Yanzhao heard Qin Dayong's words about the old incident two years ago, and he couldn't help but lower his head and sigh. At that time, I was embarrassed all the way, sleeping in the open air, and the day was precarious. But I don't want to be able to live in the world today.

The young man passed through several of the soldiers one by one and asked them where they came from. Li Yanzhao knew that this young man still didn't trust his people, as if he was afraid that they were the second dog under the Huns.

Even though he asked many horsemen, although there was still no flaw, the look of doubt on the young man's face was especially great. He turned around twice, then paced back in front of Li Yanzhao, hugged his fists to Li Yanzhao and said, "Since you are the Liangzhou army, you must have planned to retreat from the enemy, that is, the kings." My lord was on the mountain at this time, but he was injured and had difficulty walking. You must ask me to ask the general to move and thank the general for his great grace in retreating from the enemy. ”

Shao Lei saw that the young man asked his subordinates about the origin of the soldiers, and after asking for a long time, he asked a hundred people to go up the mountain, and he couldn't help frowning and shouting: "Vertical son dares!" How can it be that we are waiting to help you get out of the siege first, and yet you are so disrespectful to our soldiers! ”

Shao Lei said that, he still felt puzzled, and pulled out the half-broken arrow from the armor belt around his waist and threw it on the ground, and then pulled out an arrow from the quiver, threw it on the ground, and shouted: "The broken arrow is the Huren arrow pulled out from the wounded soldier of myself, and you take a good look at it, is it the same compared with our arrow?" ”

Shao Lei, who was furious, blushed and glared at the young man. The boy leaned over and picked up two arrows as he had said, and looked at them carefully. It's not the same kind of arrowhead.

Because the Huns were limited by their smelting skills and the craftsmanship of blacksmiths, the arrowheads they created were usually hollow chisel double-winged arrowheads. However, the smelting and blacksmithing skills of the Han people are much more advanced. Shao Lei threw it into the ground with all his might, so that the young man could see it carefully, but it was a three-winged arrow with a barb.

This kind of three-winged arrowhead, even if the Huns have a small amount of capture, is very useless. It is absolutely impossible to draw one of these arrows at once. This kind of arrow is quite powerful. After being shot into the human body, if forcibly pulled out, it will tear the bloody flesh and cause the victim to suffer a lot. It also takes longer for an injury to heal.

Looking at the two different arrows in his hand, the young man's face finally softened. He handed the two arrows back to Shao Lei. Then he continued to walk to the front and said respectfully to Li Yanzhao: "My lord is injured in the leg and is unable to move. I sincerely invite the general to go up the mountain to talk about it. ”

Li Yanzhao thought for a while, and then asked, "Who is the master of your family?" ”

The young man lowered his head and said respectfully: "The master of my family is the martial arts Su clan's Xiaolang Jun, who is caressing." ”

"Martial Arts Su Clan? Jingzhao martial arts? Li Yanzhao repeated these two words in his mouth, but his brows became more and more furrowed.
