Chapter 0071: Hunting the Enemy Chieftain
At night, Jang Hyun and the others lit a fire next to the Black Forest, although they did not encounter danger all the way through the Reckless Forest, it did not mean that the forest was safe.
On the contrary, the primeval forests are inhabited by countless ferocious beasts, tigers, leopards, black bears and wolves, which can be extremely dangerous if they are not careful.
So they try not to spend the night in the forest, and even if they can't avoid it, they will choose a slightly open place to light a campfire that is large enough.
It was already late at night, Yu Chigong and Cheng Yanjin were lying snoring by the bonfire and falling asleep, it was Zhang Xuan's turn to keep vigil, Xin Yu leaned her head on his shoulder, half snuggled in his arms, she also fell asleep, Zhang Xuan gently stroked the girl's long hair.
Xin Yu is only fourteen years old this year, but she is very well developed, with slender legs, round buttocks, soft thin waist and full breasts, far more than women of the same age in later generations, in the grassland, she has reached the age of marriage.
But in Zhang Xuan's eyes, Xin Yu is just a little girl in the second year of junior high school.
It has been more than half a year since he entered the Sui Dynasty, Zhang Xuan tried his best to integrate himself into this era, and learned the living habits and etiquette of this era, but he couldn't change some things in his bones for a while, how could he accept a fourteen-year-old girl as his lover.
There is no doubt that he also likes Xin Yu very much, her bright and cheerful personality, unashamed style, and even a little wild, are all in line with his taste, but she is still a little too young, maybe in a few years
Under the light of the fire, the corners of Zhang Xuan's mouth showed a gentle smile, he didn't expect that after he came to Dasui, the first woman who made his heart flutter turned out to be a grassland girl.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves from the south, rushing towards him, Zhang Xuan was shocked, and quickly stood up, holding the iron gun leaning against the tree in his hand.
Xin Yu also woke up, she heard the sound of horses' hooves, jumped up in shock, and casually pulled out an arrow and put it on the bow, Yu Chigong also got up, and kicked the sleeping Cheng Yanjin awake.
"What's going on?" Cheng Yanjin hurriedly stood up.
"Someone's coming!"
Wei Chigong clenched the iron rod and looked coldly at the rider who was getting closer and closer, about thirty steps away from them, but the war horse stopped, and the man on the horse rolled off the horse with a plop.
Zhang Xuan walked up quickly, only to see two arrows stuck in the back of the fallen man, covered in blood, he raised his head slightly, and shouted in a low voice: "Help!" ”
The person who came turned out to be speaking Chinese, and Zhang Xuan hurriedly rushed forward to help him up, "Who are you?" ”
"Save my lord!"
The man who fell from the horse pointed to the south, but his hand was only half raised, his head tilted, and he swallowed his last breath.
"Childe, what's going on?" Wei Chigong strode up.
"It's a Han Chinese, as if their leader was ambushed, to the south."
"Turks!" Yu Chigong and Xin Yu blurted out at the same time.
Zhang Xuan nodded, he also thought that the servants and Turks who were killed a few days ago should be in the south, and this Han team must have encountered them.
Cheng Biting Jin scratched his scalp and asked puzzledly: "This is the extremely distant Beihai, what are the Han people doing here?" Is it also looking for purple bugs? ”
"Childe, can you save it?" Wei Chigong asked in a low voice.
Zhang Xuan stood up, "Since God sent this messenger man to us and asked him to say the last word, this is the will of heaven, let's go!" ”
They no longer hesitated, and they all turned on their horses and galloped south along the route from which the man for help had come.......
Zhang Xuan calculated in his heart, the man who reported the news obviously bleed to death, judging from his injuries, he could only hold out for two hours at most, that is, four hours, according to his horse speed, then the place where they were ambushed should be about 100 miles away from the campfire.
Everyone kept changing horses, galloping all the way, and when the day was about to dawn, they suddenly heard a faint shout of killing from the rear, they immediately reined in the war horse, almost missed, Zhang Xuan waved his hand, stopped everyone, "You wait, I'll take a look!" ”
He turned over and dismounted, turned around and ran towards the place where the shouting of killing came from, Yu Chigong didn't catch Xin Yu, and watched her follow Zhang Xuan towards the woods.
Zhang Xuan crouched behind a bush, and saw from a distance in a clearing in a forest seventy or eighty steps away, more than 2,000 Turkic cavalry surrounded a group of black-clothed men, the black-clothed men suffered heavy casualties, and the ground was full of corpses, they should have more than 100 people, but now there are only more than 20 people left.
More than 20 people desperately guarded a burly middle-aged man in the middle, who should be their leader, and there was a weak young man next to him, who could see that they were exhausted, if it weren't for the Turks trying to catch them alive, this group of black-clothed people would have been killed long ago.
"It seems to be a group of Han robbers?" Xin Yu's voice came from Zhang Xuan's side.
Zhang Xuan was startled, grabbed her arm, glared at her angrily, and said, "Why are you here too?" ”
Xin Yu pouted, "Why can't I come!" ”
Zhang Xuan glared at her fiercely, and then looked at the crowd, Xin Yu also said really well, these people in black are all fierce, they really look like a group of Han robbers.
At this time, Zhang Xuan saw the backs of Shi Shu Huxi and Yu Wenhua, and the two were talking about something with their heads down.
Zhang Xuan heard from Tulle that Shi Shu Huxi was the military advisor of the Turkic Khan, who was responsible for planning major military operations of the Turks and had a very high strategy.
Shi Shu Huxi was not far from them, with his back to them, only to hear him shout coldly in Chinese, "You should have gotten the news from the Goguryeo mouth!" I even wanted to come to fight the idea of those soldiers, I admired your will, and actually ran to the North Sea, but unfortunately you met me, surrender! I will spare you death. ”
Zhang Xuan's heart was a little confused, could it be that those soldiers and armor were actually hidden in Beihai?
At this time, Xin Yu whispered to Zhang Xuan: "Killing him is an opportunity, do you want me to kill him?" ”
Zhang Xuan's heart moved, Shi Shu Hu Xi was thirty steps away from them, and there were bushes behind him, it was indeed an opportunity to sneak attack him, there were more than 2,000 Turkic cavalry, and if they wanted to save people, they could only assassinate their leader and create chaos, but if they killed Shi Shu Hu Xi, how could they escape?
Zhang Xuan turned around and saw an extremely thick tree dozens of steps away, and four or five people couldn't hug him, so he whispered to Xin Yu: "Go and bring my horse and hide behind the big tree to meet me." ”
"I'll assassinate you, and you answer me."
"Go!"
Zhang Xuan pushed her, but Xin Yu had no choice but to bite her lip, turn around and bend over and run away.
Zhang Xuan dodged and ran eastward for a dozen steps, his movements were fast and agile, and with the help of the dimness of the morning light to hide his body, he found a best shooting point, and the gap in the bushes was facing the back of Shi Shu Hu Xi and Yu Wenhua.
A trace of hesitation flashed in Zhang Xuan's eyes, should he assassinate Shi Shu Hu Xi or Yu Wenhua? But he only pondered for a moment, and his eyes focused on Shi Shu Huxi, he slowly pulled out an arrow from the quiver on his back, put it on the bow, and waited for Xin Yu to come back.
Shi Shu Hu Xi wanted to get the specific hiding place of the armor from the man in black, so he held back the anger in his heart and didn't kill them all, but he didn't get a response from the other party, and couldn't help but order angrily: "Kill ten more people!" ”
Hundreds of Turkic cavalry rushed up, surrounded more than 20 black-clothed people, hundreds of spears stabbed at them, black-clothed people resisted, they wanted to kill a bloody way, why there were too many Turkic cavalry, they couldn't break through at all, they were constantly assassinated by Turkic cavalry, the screams rang out, and Dou Jiande in the middle sighed in despair, "I didn't expect that I, Dou Jiande, would die here!" ”
At this moment, Zhang Xuan had already seen Xin Yu behind the big tree, he straightened his waist suddenly, pulled the longbow bowstring, and aimed at the back of Shi Shu Huxi's neck.
As soon as the string was loosened, a wolf's tooth arrow shot out like lightning, and the arrow was strong, shooting straight at Shi Shu Huxi, who was more than twenty steps away, and the battle on the battlefield covered up the sound of the bowstring behind.
Shi Shu Huxi never dreamed that someone would attack him from behind, he was defenseless.
'Poof! With a bang, the wolf's tooth arrow shot into his head from the triangle area below the back of his head, and the powerful arrow pierced through his skull, and the tip of the arrow penetrated from his forehead, Shi Shu Huxi's body stiffened suddenly, and he didn't even scream, and slowly fell from his horse to the ground.
The moment the arrow came out, Jang Hyun turned and ran, he knew that whether he shot or not, he would be exposed, and he could only escape by seizing this extremely short opportunity.
At this time, the Turkic cavalry was in chaos, Zhang Xuan ran to the big tree and turned around, only to see someone pointing at him and shouting, and then countless Turkic cavalry chased after him.
"Hurry up!" Xin Yu shouted nervously.
Zhang Xuan turned over and got on his horse, his legs clamped the horse's belly, and the war horse rushed out like an arrow, and Xin Yu galloped to the south one after the other, and nearly a thousand Turkic cavalry chased after him.
The commander was hit by an arrow and fell off his horse, the Turkic cavalry was in chaos, Dou Jiande took this opportunity to lead his men to fight a bloody road and fled eastward, he knew that someone saved him in the most crisis, but he didn't know who did it.
At this time, Dou Jiande's elite was exhausted, and he had no intention of participating in the competition for armor anymore, so he led more than a dozen remnants of the army to the southern servant tribe, and could only return to the Central Plains.
Wei Chigong and Cheng Yanjin were waiting by the forest, only to hear the sound of the horse's hooves, the two glanced at each other, urged the horse to come out, and saw Zhang Xuan waving his hand and shouting from a distance: "Run, there are chasing soldiers behind!" ”
Wei Chigong also saw it, and nearly a thousand cavalry from about 200 paces away chased after him at a gallop, and there were constantly Turkic cavalry shooting arrows, but they were a little far away, and the arrows had no effect.
Despite this, the situation was still extremely critical, and Wei Chigong was so anxious that he shouted, "Old Cheng, quickly lead the horse to meet them!" ”
They led the war horses out of the slanted thorns, joined forces with Zhang Xuan and Xin Yu, and galloped towards the south together.
Among the Turkic cavalry, the commander of the thousand commanders led by him was more afraid than them, Shi Shu Huxi was shot through the head, he would definitely not survive, if he didn't catch this group of sneak attackers, how could he go back and explain to the Khan?
He shouted loudly, never giving up, and pursued them reluctantly, and more than a thousand Turkic cavalry chased farther and farther away, gradually disappearing into the south.
