Chapter 474 Six Hundred Miles and Twenty-One Swords

If Li Xian had been a few minutes late, even if Liu Heimin had let Niu Jinda go, he would have been killed by the rout and chaos of the Flying Bear Army, and in a few minutes, he would have been trampled into a puddle of flesh. For the rest of his life after the catastrophe, looking at the familiar black armor, Niu Jinda unexpectedly gave birth to an illusion that he was in a different world.

Li Xian led a team of light cavalry to kill the rout, and when he found Niu Jinda, he was embarrassed to avoid the panicked Flying Bear Army soldiers, a Flying Bear Army soldier who was blocked waved a knife and slashed at Niu Jinda's forehead, but the knife was raised and was removed by a black knife that held the knife's arm, and then a knife, a good head flew to the ground, and rolled out far away, and the blood and dust were coated on the skull.

The soldiers behind Li Xian rushed forward to kill, cutting down all the defeated Flying Bear Army. One of his own soldiers jumped off his horse, ran over and used his knife to pick up the rope that bound Niu Jinda's hands. Without waiting for Li Xian to speak, Niu Jinda knelt down on one knee and said guiltily: "The minister is not doing well, please punish the lord!" ”

"Can you still ride a horse?"

Li Xian ignored his plea, but asked him a question.

"Yes!"

Niu Jinda nodded vigorously.

"That's good, go with Gu and kill Liu Heimin!"

He pointed to Niu Jinda and commanded, "Give him a knife and a horse!" ”

Some soldiers immediately handed over their weapons and horses to Niu Jinda, who turned over and pointed to the north and said, "Lord, Liu Heimin fled over there with about three hundred horses." ”

"He can't escape."

Li Xian patted the big black horse's neck, and the big black horse immediately let out a high-pitched cry of excitement.

"The guards followed me to chase Liu Heimin, and the others went to General Cheng to clean up the battlefield, take care of the prisoners, and wait for General Qin and General Xiong's men and horses to arrive."

He thrust the black knife back into its scabbard, and chased the horse north. Two hundred guards followed closely behind Li Xian and quickly rushed out of the already burning camp. Just ten minutes after Li Xian chased out with his own soldiers, Cheng Zhijie took the men and horses to the place where Li Xian left. He asked Li Xian's whereabouts, and immediately changed his face in fright.

"Xie Xu!"

He loudly instructed his lieutenant Xie Xu: "You stay, clean up the battlefield with men and horses, and send people to control the baggage battalion of the Flying Bear Army. I'll take someone to chase the lord, and you are here waiting for General Qin to arrive!" ”

"Whoa!"

Xie Xu hurriedly responded.

Cheng Zhijie asked clearly about the direction in which Li Xian left, and chased out with a group of cavalry. Last night, the light cavalry ran for more than 200 miles, and launched a surprise attack on the Flying Bear Army without resting, and after two hours of bloody fighting, they killed several times back and forth in the camp of the Flying Bear Army, most of the Flying Bear Army surrendered, and many people fled in a panic. Xie Xu ordered the cavalry not to pursue the rout, collect the prisoners, and then sent 200 cavalry to guard the baggage camp.

Yan Yun light cavalry has not rested for a night and a half, first a night of running, and then a whole day of fighting, but at this time they did not feel too tired, a big victory, so that everyone is still immersed in joy. The excited soldiers ignored the physical fatigue, and everyone was smeared with blood, but the smiles on their faces were so clean and thorough.

After Xie Xu arranged everything, it was already past noon, and in order to prevent the prisoners from mutiny, he sent someone to divide a batch of captured materials and let the prisoners eat. Then the cavalry was ordered to hold on a little longer, and by evening at the latest, General Qin's vanguard would arrive.

When it was time to hold the lantern, Qin Qiong personally took the lead with a thousand cavalry. The large army, led by the mighty sea, would not arrive until tomorrow morning at the earliest, after all, the two feet of the infantry were still much slower than the four legs of the war horse. Qin Qiong led the troops to take over Xie Xu's men and horses, and let all the cavalry who participated in the raid rest, Qin Qiong was on duty all night, did not sleep all night, and led the cavalry to patrol back and forth.

The next morning, Xiong Kuohai arrived with a large group of infantry, but there was no news about King Yan. Since yesterday noon, King Yan took 200 soldiers and cattle to chase Liu Heimin, and half a day and a night have passed and he has not returned. Qin Qiong and Xiong Kuohai discussed it for a while, and decided to let Xiong Kuohai rest in place with the infantry for a day, and then return to those hills with the prisoners and grain and grass to wait, while Qin Qiong took a thousand fine horsemen and chased in the direction of Li Xian's pursuit of Liu Heimin.

Qin Qiong didn't dare to delay, and led the cavalry to chase without stopping, and when he found a small village at noon, there had obviously been fierce fighting in this village, and the blood on many corpses had not completely coagulated. Qin Qiong sent someone to count it, and found that most of the dead bodies in this village belonged to Xia Jun, more than a hundred corpses, and only a dozen were Yanyun light horses.

Qin Qiong speculated that it was Liu Heimin who was leading people to rest in this small village and was caught up by King Yan with his troops, and the Xia army rushed to the battle, obviously suffering a big loss.

He didn't care about leaving someone to bury the body, so he continued to chase down the official road with the cavalry. The corpses of soldiers on both sides who died in battle could be seen along the way, until the sun sank in the west, and there were more than a hundred dead bodies along the way, Qin Qiong speculated that Liu Heimin did not have many guards around him.

When it was completely dark, Qin Qiong still couldn't catch up with King Yan, and even Cheng Zhijie, who chased him out later, didn't catch up, and he couldn't tell the direction in the dark night, Qin Qiong was afraid of chasing the wrong way, so he had to order the soldiers to rest. The next morning, before the sun rose, he continued to chase forward with his cavalry.

Occasionally, soldiers who died in battle were seen on the official road, most of them with stabs and arrows in their backs. After Qin Qiong examined the corpse, she speculated that Liu Heimin no longer had the courage to turn back and fight. The corpses of his soldiers were all wounded in the back, which shows how panicked and frightened Liu Heimin's people fled at that time.

When it was dark again, Qin Qiong calculated that he had chased it out for at least three hundred miles. At this time, he had already penetrated deep into Dou Jiande's territory, and he had passed by at least three county towns on the way to chase him, but Liu Heimin did not enter any of the cities, which shows how eagerly he was being hunted down, and he had no chance to stop at all!

Qin Qiong was afraid that King Yan would encounter any danger, after all, this place had penetrated hundreds of miles into Dou Jiande's territory, and if it was discovered by Dou Jiande's men, a large number of people would be mobilized to surround it.

On this second night, Qin Qiong only let the soldiers rest for two hours before continuing to hurry, but the night was too dark, and corpses were becoming more and more rare, so the speed of progress while searching was not fast. At dawn, it took half a night to chase out less than thirty miles. There were fewer and fewer traces left in front, but Qin Qiong knew that he was about to catch up with King Yan.

Fewer and fewer dead people can only say one thing.

There are few people around Liu Heimin!

……

……

In the early morning of the fourth day of chasing, the scouts who were exploring the way in front came back urgently, and they didn't have time to wipe the sweat from their foreheads, and said breathlessly: "Chase...... caught up, ten miles ahead, the lord has already caught up with Liu Heimin and is fighting! ”

"Kill it!"

Qin Qiong immediately ordered, more than a thousand tired light horsemen heard that they had finally caught up with the lord and came to the spirit, since the day before yesterday, they had already left the official road to chase on the field road, and the war horse raised a cloud of smoke and dust on the path, and the dust that stepped on it spread far away.

When Qin Qiong finally saw Li Xian, she was immediately startled by the scene in front of her!

About four hundred Yanyun light horsemen formed a large circle, and each of them drew their horizontal knives and neatly beat their cavalry shields. The crackling sound was coherent and powerful, and everyone in those cavalry looked dusty, their armor was covered in dust, and their faces were covered in blood, but everyone was in good spirits!

"Kneel!"

"Kneel!"

"Kneel!"

The cavalry let out a neat shout, and their morale was like a rainbow!

In the middle of the circle surrounded by the cavalry, Li Xian sat on the big black horse, looking at Liu Heimin, who was standing four or five steps away from him, his face was calm, and the ancient well was not wavering. Compared with Yanyunzhai's light horse, Liu Heimin is much more embarrassed. His horse was hit by a few arrows and bleed too much and died, but he did not have a single feather arrow on his body, obviously, Li Xian did not want to kill him with a simple arrow.

With the shouts one after another, Liu Heimin's face became as white as paper.

"King Yan!"

Liu Heimin shouted fiercely: "Now that it has come to this point, please don't deceive people too much!" A man is a big man, and he would rather die in battle than be insulted! I am the minister of King Xia, not the minister of King Yan, so I don't need to kneel to you! ”

Li Xian glanced at him, jumped off the horse's back with his legs and walked slowly towards Liu Heimin. He didn't say a word, but Liu Heimin was forced to retreat again and again.

"Kneel!"

"Kneel!"

"Kneel!"

Yan Yun's light cavalry struck the cavalry shield, and his shouts became louder and louder.

"No!"

Liu Heimin roared: "I'd rather die than kneel!" ”

"Good"

Walking to a distance of two steps from Liu Heimin, Li Xian stood up and whispered a word. He slowly pulled the black knife out of the scabbard, and pointed his arm at Liu Heimin's eyes: "Lone originally wanted to capture you and let Niu Jinda kill you with his own hands to avenge the two knives." But when he caught up with you, Lone suddenly wanted to kill you with his own hands. ”

"Since you don't want to kneel, pick up your weapon."

Li Xian said lightly.

"Ahh

Liu Heimin let out an unwilling roar and picked up his steel fork from the ground. He was extremely burly, half a head taller than Li Xian, his steel fork was heavy and sharp enough, and his martial arts were superb enough. Especially now that he is like a trapped beast, desperately doing his best, so he seems to be extremely powerful.

The steel fork stabbed at Li Xian's throat, Li Xian's body flashed to avoid the steel fork, and slashed at Liu Heimin's throat with a knife, Liu Heimin forked back to block, and when he struck, Liu Heimin, who obviously looked stronger than Li Xian, was shocked by this knife and took two steps back before stabilizing his body.

"You have fear in your heart, so you are not my opponent."

Li Xian said slowly.

"Although I stabbed Niu Jinda twice, is it because of this that you will not hesitate to risk to kill me with the respect of King Yan, is it worth it!"

"It's not worth it, but I ask for peace of mind!"

After Li Xian said this, he strode forward and slashed over. Liu Heimin hurriedly blocked it, but Li Xian's black knife was faster than the other, the knife technique opened and closed, and the knife was more domineering than the other. After four knives, Liu Heimin's steel fork was knocked off. Liu Heimin eagerly retreated, but his left leg was cut off by a black knife!

One, two, three...

Li Xian slashed twenty-one times in a row!

The last knife cut Liu Heimin's throat, and the blade cut his neck as easily as cutting tofu.

"I've chased you for six hundred miles, and I can't let you die easily. You stab the ox twice and I will slash you twenty. ”

Li Xian squatted down and said in a very soft voice: "The last knife was cut for Luo Shixin...... Of course, you don't know what you owe Luo Shixin, I just know enough. ”

Before Liu Heimin died, a trace of doubt and unwillingness flashed in his eyes, and he didn't understand why Li Xian wanted to stab himself for Luo Shixin?
