Xu Shu had persuaded Ma Teng, but he didn't expect that Ma would make small moves in private, which would make him fail.

The team had to go south for only one day, resting and sleeping in the wilderness, and at noon the next day, the roar of horses' hooves began to be heard behind, and in a short time a large group of cavalry appeared behind them.

Xu Shu Xiong Zhi and the others were still puzzled, but the other party saw their team from a distance, but they cheered.

Hearing the cheers of the cavalry brigade behind, everyone knew that something had happened to this trip, and Xiong Zhi hurriedly shouted: "Okay!" ”

On this mission, everyone had two horses, but in order to take care of the Chinese officials and female doctors of the team, they would raise horses, and the line was not fast, so they began to flee in a hurry.

Xu Shu was a ranger when he was young, his riding skills were self-reliant, and he rode a horse given by Deng Ji.

Seeing Deng Ji's envoy team in front, Ma Dai was already overjoyed, the general who had lived in the border for a long time, the military affairs had been passed since childhood, and the light cavalry had already dispersed and roared.

"Whew! Oh! Oh! ”

The chasers of the four fields screamed one after another, constantly intimidating and besieging the fleeing envoys.

This chase and escape, the front and back are like the wind, and the four wild scenery on horseback is flying backwards.

In addition to the chasing soldiers behind him, Liangzhou has been in turmoil for a long time, and there are still many small groups of horse bandits and thieves in various places. The chasing cavalry was all there, and the wilderness was empty, and even if they turned back to block it, they couldn't stop it.

Ma Dai chased and killed behind, biting and not letting go.

When they came out of Guzang City, Xu Shu and the others just ran slowly the day before. The mount has plenty of room to spare. And it has it to ride and transfer. It's not like Ma Dai chasing all the way, and the horsepower consumption is huge.

At noon, Ma Dai had to stop first and recover his horsepower, and Xu Shu and the others had to get rid of each other for the time being, and after running for three or four miles, they also rested and ate.

However, it didn't take long for the pursuers to catch up again. Repeat the previous appearance. Ma Dai has divided his subordinates into two teams, chasing them in turn, no longer galloping, just like a wolf, hanging behind every moment, so that Xu Shu and the others will not have the slightest rest.

After galloping day and night for three days, they could not take a break, even if they were ridden by one person and two horses, it was difficult for people and horses to withstand it. Below Xu Shu Xiong Zhi, everyone's face was cut dry by the wind knife. His skin was covered with a thick layer of dust, and he couldn't sleep for days. and their eyelids were heavy, and sometimes they even dozed off in the bumpy saddle; The horses were also exhausted, and those who did not carry the men were sweaty, and gradually some refused to go any further, no matter how much they were whipped.

On the third day, he began to abandon some of his horses, but fortunately there was no shortage of food and water, and although he was exhausted, he chased and fled day and night, and he had already come out of Hongchi Ridge (note). The years have eroded down, and the rammed earth Great Wall built by Huo Qubing near this place to guard against the Xiongnu has collapsed in many places, and the road cannot be blocked.

During the escape, Xiong Zhi struggled to maintain it, and did not put the team in a desperate situation, but went all the way south, and the biggest and final obstacle finally stood in front of him: the Yellow River had arrived.

This place is the upper reaches of the Yellow River, the river surface is not too wide, but it also needs a boat to cross the river, and the other side of the river is probably the warrior county of Tianshui County, under the rule of Deng Ji.

Fleeing at a gallop, the road was very different from the previous one, and the soldiers looked up and down the river, but there were no ferries, but Ma Dai's cavalry had surrounded them.

Seeing that the other party was really stopped by the river, Ma Dai was naturally overjoyed, and the four or five hundred people scattered left and right had been outflanked, and he brought more than a thousand horsemen to step forward.

It seemed that there would inevitably be a fight, Xiong Zhi took a breath and asked Xu Shu: "Don't drive, remember to come to the ferry?" There should be a ferry waiting for me there! ”

The land of Liangzhou, Xu Shu is also the first time in his life, the nearby geography is not familiar, I don't know when I come through the ferry in the east and west, if I admit the mistake, to the west is the Jincheng County occupied by Han Sui, and along the river to the east it is turned back to the boundary of Ma Teng.

However, there were people in the team who knew Xiliang, and they interjected and replied: "When you come, the ferry should be more than forty miles away in the west!" ”

Xiong Zhi raised his halberd and pointed to the west: "In this way, while they are not encircled, we will rush to the west!" ”

"No!"

The elite of the Black Iron Guard is still above the Huya Dangkou garrison, and although the hundred soldiers are tired and tight, after Xiong Zhi gave the order, his spirit was greatly reinvigorated.

"Break!"

When the west side, more than 500 Xiliang cavalry had intercepted and blocked, after Xiong Zhi's voice, the war horses moved together, and the soldiers surrounded Xu Shu and the scribes and doctors in the center, rushing at each other like a tide, and their mouths responded in unison: "Break!" ”

Ma Dai's command of 3,000 horsemen is also the elite of horses, but compared to them, the skills and courage of the Black Iron Guard are superior!

Amid the roar of hundreds of horses' hooves hitting the ground, Xiong Zhitun and the two red-eyed bulls who were in charge of encircling the five hundred Xiliang horses in the west had slammed into each other, and then began to strangle desperately.

"Wai, don't let anyone get away!" The other party broke through without accident, Ma Dai commanded the cavalry on both sides of the north and east to speed up, and shouted: "Kill!" ”

"Kill!"

Among the two armies entangled, after a black iron guard bravely drank, the halberd eerifully slashed through the air, and was the first to cut the throat of the Xiliang cavalry, opening the prelude to the encirclement and breakthrough.

Beside him, two companions were cooperating with each other, one wielding his halberd to drag Xiliang on the left side off his horse, and the other halberd quickly pointed at the throat of the unfortunate man, and the blood sprayed red on the mount.

"Ahh

The hot blood and the terrible howls of dying intertwined one after another, and the flowers of death quickly bloomed on the battlefield.

The chiefs and captains of each clan lead their own families, cooperate with each other, and harvest human lives.

In the face of several times the enemy, most of the lone ones have only a dead end. When galloping past, a brave soldier's mount was unfortunately knocked over and fell to the ground, and suddenly several Xiliang soldiers saw the cheap, let the horse come over and trample, when the first horse's hooves stepped on his chest, the brave soldier let out a terrible scream in his mouth, and the iron halberd in his hand stabbed into the belly of the opponent's horse with his backhand.

Three Xiliang horsemen surrounded a brave soldier, the knife and gun only cared about the other party's immediate hand, so that the other party was tired of coping, was in danger, "boom" wind sounded, a cold arrow flew, nailed to the left side of the Xiliang people's war horse neck, the injured war horse ran in anger, threw off the knight, and rushed into his own family, the surrounded brave soldier took the opportunity to feel out of the saddle under the halberd, took off his hand and shot out of two handles, and shot the other two knights in a row.

At this time, those who can still cast cold arrows are all brave soldiers who support the guards in the center of Xu Shu's side, and the brave soldiers who can be selected for the Black Iron Guard are mostly proficient in bows and halberds.

Although there are guards, but the battle array is dangerous, Xu Shu has already held a sword in his hand, and he repeats his youthful skills - several guards are surrounded by his side, making him extremely conspicuous, and there are constantly fierce and fearless Xiliang horses to strangle.

The other scribes were miserable, lacking guards and unarmoured, and they were all killed in a short time.

A halberd interrupted the enemy cavalry in front of him, and smashed the man's head again, when Xiong Zhi turned his head to look, the brave soldiers were fighting desperately and bloodily, and the Xiliang cavalry rushing from the periphery was only a stone's throw away from this place.

I have been told by the lord left and right, the most important thing in this mission is to save Xu Shu's life. If you can give more time, the current four or five hundred horsemen Xiong Zhi is completely sure to scatter and kill the road, but the Ma Dai army is rushing in the distance, and there is no room for any further delay.

"Break!"

After shouting angrily again, Xiong Zhi jumped up on his horse, ignoring the spears and spears that were stabbed in all directions, slashing left and right with his big iron halberds in both hands, struggling forward, and cutting down seven or eight horsemen in an instant, and he himself was also injured twice.

Xiong Zhi took the lead in breaking through, and the brave soldiers behind him also burst out with high fighting spirit, completely ignoring their own casualties, and then rushed forward.

Everywhere he passed, he killed Xiliang in a panic.

After this struggle, Xiong Zhi's mount has broken through to the front of the opposing general who shouted loudly in the formation, this person is full of beard, he should be the general who commands the four or five hundred horsemen who are surrounding this side, and the military marquis is a first-class person.

Xiong Zhi is a hundred generals, but there is no difference between the fish scale armor on his body and the brave soldiers under his command, but seeing that he was born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, he took the lead in breaking through, and he was expected to have bravery, and the military marquis ordered the sergeants around him: "Kill!" ”

More than a dozen Xiliang riders gathered around. Several brave soldiers who followed closely behind Xiong Zhi hurriedly stepped forward to intercept the enemy, and asked Xiong Zhi to fight the generals of the Western Liang Army alone.

"Dang!"

When the horse was approaching, the opponent's horse chopping knife had already slashed over, and Xiong Zhi hurriedly waved his right halberd to block it, making a crisp sound of gold and iron fighting.

The left halberd had flown out of his hand, and was nailed to the belly of the military marquis's war horse, and while the opponent was unbalanced by the horse's leaning body, a halberd cut his throat.

"Kill!"

Behind the battle group, Ma Dai had led the army to break in, and nearly twenty Black Iron Guards on the backward side fought desperately, and in the bloody battle, some people shouted loudly: "Go, bury a certain class of clothes in Sankun!" ”

After shouting this, he was stabbed through the body by three spears at the same time.

He dragged the hilt of the spear into his body and never let go.

No one survived this small group of Black Iron Guards, but until the last man fell, Ma Dai was never allowed to enter.

"Deng Ji's pawn, are all dead?" Seeing such a scene, the shock to Ma Dai, a newcomer to the battle formation, was undoubtedly huge, he hesitated for a moment, and shouted: "Order, those who descend will not be killed!" ”

It's just that surrendering the enemy doesn't seem to be something that Deng Ji's guards will think about, and the sergeants shouted for a while, but no one answered, which caused a burst of laughter.

Xiong Zhi killed the generals who surrounded the army and horses, and the leading soldiers also killed the enemy troops around them, covered in blood, but they could only shout with tears: "Go!" ”

Xu Shu and more than 40 soldiers had to break through.

"Turn back! Shoot! ”

Fang disengaged, and the soldiers in the back row hurriedly took their bows and arrows, turned around and shot the opponent's war horses, causing chaos and hindering the pursuit of Xiliang cavalry.

When she turned around, a brave soldier saw that the only female healer in the team had fallen off her horse, and two Xiliang people were tying her with ropes. The Medicer has been captured! ”

"Don't worry about it!" Xiong Zhi hit the horse and only looked forward, and said coldly: "And send Mr. Yuanzhi to find a boat to cross the river first, and it is important to return this trip to the lord!" ”
