"Poof!" After a sharp blade breaking through the air, followed by a dull sound of entering the flesh, on the side of Chen Anbu's sentry cavalry team that was chasing the cavalry of the Guangwu Army, a cavalry soldier had already been slashed by the flying blade, and before he could react, the blade had already left his body.

In an instant, the rider who had just had time to cover the wounds on his body and had not yet exhaled the pain heard a tom behind him, and then screamed again and again, and turned his head to see that there was already a horse behind him who had lost his front hoof. The man on the horse was thrown out of the distance and fell to the ground, at this time he was trampled by the horse's hooves again and again, and he had long since lost his breath, and by the moonlight, he saw the body that fell to the ground, still twitching his hands and feet slightly unwillingly.

The rider who had been injured by the sharp blade before secretly sighed about his luck, and did not dare to cry out for pain again, so he hurriedly leaned down, intending to dodge the sharp blade that would come again at an unknown time.

However, he lowered his upper body, and heard a sharp blade breaking through the air in his ears. This time, however, he was no longer lucky. The flying blade sliced accurately into his neck. Cut off the esophagus and trachea, only to cut the spine, the blade stuck in the bone and stopped. Otherwise, this time it will be directly the disaster of separation of the body and head.

However, even if there was no separation in front of him, the horseman who had been attacked by the blade was already lifeless. He had abandoned the reins of his bow and arrows, and his hands involuntarily covered his throat, and streams of warm, sticky liquid sprayed onto his hands. His gaze dimmed.

With a "swish", the blade was pulled away from his neck, and he had slipped from his horse and fell to the ground, letting the horse's hooves behind him step on his body, and his life was completely lost.

The pursuing enemy cavalry had already taken advantage of the moonlight to see Li Yanzhao who turned his horse and rushed towards them. It was thought that the enemy sentry was simply sending a man to delay their pursuit in order to facilitate their escape. Only a few horsemen were sent to intercept them, and the rest continued to pursue the enemy's fleeing brigade.

Unexpectedly, they were divided to intercept and kill the five horsemen who rode alone, and in the blink of an eye, two people were killed in a row. The rest of the people also hesitated, not daring to step forward again.

Although they did not dare to step forward again, Li Yanzhao still rode his horse and continued to flank and rear the enemy. The ring-headed knife tied to the maso in his hand is still wielded vigorously. The sound of a sharp blade breaking through the air as if it was an invitation from the king of Hades, at this time, in the ears of the remaining three, they couldn't help but feel cold all over their bodies, turned their horses' heads and ran back to the team.

Seeing that the enemy cavalry who came to intercept him retreated, Li Yanzhao laughed for a while, turned his horse's head slightly, and headed towards the enemy's chasing brigade. Seeing that Li Yanzhao posted it to the team again, the leader of the team couldn't help but be furious. Ignoring the rest of the people in front, he directly ordered the rest of the sentry cavalry in his department to turn their horses and pursue Li Yanzhao.

Li Yanzhao saw that the other party's sentry rider turned his horse's head like a hand, and he actually wanted to deal with himself. He didn't dare to hold it up, so he hurriedly turned the horse's head and lengthened the length of the lasso a little longer in the swing, and threw it with all his strength towards the black shadows that rushed towards him.

In the darkness, Li Yanzhao only felt that the lassoe in his hand was slightly sluggish, and then there was a miserable cry from the opposite side. This was accompanied by a tooth-aching gurgling sound of people falling from their horses and being trampled by horses' hooves.

Seeing that he had succeeded again, Li Yanzhao smiled and urged the horse to gallop. Seeing Li Yanzhao galloping away, and these sentry riders under his command were already frightened by the sharp blades that broke through the air from time to time, and no one was desperate to urge the horse to pursue Li Yanzhao, the leader couldn't help but be anxious, and hurriedly shouted: "Quick, use a bow and arrow, don't let this gutless rat escape!" ”

With the leader's order, the cavalry beside him reacted, and they took their bows and arrows one after another, and before they could take a closer look, they released a rain of arrows towards the approximate direction where Li Yanzhao had fled.

Li Yanzhao was running away on horseback, and the lasso that he was wielding with a tiger was also slowing down at this time, and only when he was exhausted did he slowly retract it. Fang withdrew the ring-headed knife and held it in his hand, and heard a "poof" sound in his ears, which was actually the sound of arrows entering the flesh.

Li Yanzhao was shocked, but he didn't know where he was hit by the arrow. However, before he could look back, the mount under his crotch was like crazy, and suddenly ran wildly, which startled Li Yanzhao. However, combined with the abnormal performance of this horse that was about to be exhausted, Li Yanzhao deduced that it must have been the arrow released from the opposite side that hit this horse. It was only then that the horse, which was about to run out of oil, rose up and galloped bravely.

And Cao Jian's wave of people, who had been closely pursued before, but were ignored again, saw that the enemy army abandoned his side and chased after Li Yanzhao fiercely, and his heart must have been a hundred people who went to shake those laps and annoyed the enemy army. At this time, seeing that Li Yanzhao was embarrassed, and it was inconvenient to keep watching from the sidelines, he ordered his subordinates to turn their horses' heads and approach the enemy's cavalry and release several waves of arrows.

The enemy general led his troops to chase Li Yanzhao to no avail, and heard again and again that the subordinates beside him had fallen from their horses. At this point, it is known that it is not good. Before ambushing two waves of Guangwu army cavalry in succession, although his own side also suffered a lot of losses, but the previous two sentry cavalry were almost annihilated by his troops. It's only the second time that the plan was not well planned, so that the other party escaped the two.

However, this wave of sentinels is very different from the previous two waves. It is true that he was able to annihilate the first two waves of sentinels, mostly because of his calculations and unintentionality. However, this sentry only injured one of them, and seven or eight of them had already died one after another. Obviously, this sentry was prepared, and it was not a soft persimmon that could be kneaded at will.

Such a disparity in casualties was hard for him to accept. Originally, there was no need for his side to start a war with the Liangzhou army, and he fought the autumn wind to pack up a few sentry horses, and his own losses were not large, and he could still show his merit when he went back. However, this ambush is destined to be a real loss-making transaction. Even if he was able to completely annihilate the sentry in front of him, his losses would definitely be too great to accept.

Faced with this embarrassing situation, how will I report it when I go back? After much thought, the general finally gave a difficult order: "Turn the horse's head and withdraw!" ”

has been being chased by others, chasing in horror, this will suddenly see the enemy retreat, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and there is a feeling that is not very real.

Li Yanzhao saw that the enemy horse turned his horse's head and withdrew, and his heart was relieved, and he was exhausted even with men and horses. The horse walked slowly for a while, and then knelt on his front legs, and looked like he was about to lie down.

Li Yanzhao was afraid that the horse would fall straight down without knowing what to do, and one of his legs would definitely be crushed. He hurriedly pulled his feet out of his stirrups, then jumped off his horse, and let the horses behind him collapse to the grass. Exhausted, he threw down his lasso and ring-headed knife, and fell with the horse.

Cao Jian saw that the enemy army pulled his horse back, and the captain of the hundred men also fell to the ground from exhaustion. I had the heart to pursue, but I remembered that there was still an injured Zhang Xing on horseback. Hurriedly trotted the horse, came to Li Yanzhao's side, put Zhang Xing down, and saw that Li Yanzhao was just lying on the ground and panting, and the person was okay before turning the horse away.

At this time, Niu Erzhuang and Qin Dayong were sent out to contact two team leaders, Zhang Xing was injured, and Li Yanzhao fell to the ground with all his strength. Cao Jian's previous cavalry guards, including himself, were only six people left at this time.

However, with the bravery of himself and the captain of a hundred people, he killed and retreated the enemy sentry cavalry that was several times more numerous than them in the opposite group, which made these cavalry soldiers morale high, and they all roared one by one without Cao Jian's words of encouragement, as if they were wolf cubs who saw their prey, and chased them in the direction of the enemy sentry retreat without hesitation.

These six horsemen followed the retreating enemy horsemen, and the distance between the two groups of men and horses was still more than thirty paces. Under the leadership of Cao Jian, these horsemen also held bows in their hands, constantly firing their bows and arrows, and firing deadly arrows at the enemy horses in front.

There is a good saying, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi. At this time, the roles of the hunter and the prey were reversed, and the continuous arrows from behind caused two of the retreating enemy sentinels to fall off their horses. The enemy generals who led the crowd to gallop on horses only felt bitter in their hearts. A breath of evil in his chest turned into a fishy sweetness and rushed to his throat.

He had the heart to let his horsemen turn their horses around again and kill the general, but the fishy sweetness in his throat clearly reminded him that he could not afford to fight again. He had previously ambushed another sentry and was wounded internally when he was hit by a spear held by one of them. What's more, the most taboo in the army is to change the order at night, and it is reluctant to order his subordinates to turn back and fight again.

Cao Jian and the other six still suffered and exhausted their horses after all, and failed to catch up with the retreating enemy sentry horse. However, cleaning up the battlefield along the way and cutting the enemy's first ten levels can be regarded as quite a success.

Cao Jian, who returned, saw that Li Yanzhao, who had fallen to the ground from exhaustion, was already struggling to untie the lasso tied to the ring head knife, and was amazed at the strange weapon that Li Yanzhao had used to rush close to the enemy's formation and slash the enemy again and again, so he leaned down at this moment and asked: "Hundred people, where did you learn this set of knife skills just now?" ”

Li Yanzhao struggled to untie the last dead knot on the ring head, and then raised his head, looking at Cao Jian in a daze, he thought of a strange weapon "Meteor Hammer" in later generations, so he borrowed Cao Jian's lasso and used this strange move. Thinking of this, he replied: "You can call it the 'Meteor Knife'." ”
