Chapter Eighty-Three: Sacrificing His Life to Protect the Lord

Suddenly attacked, Yuan Mai's team panicked, and the sound of people shouting and neighing horses was very loud.

More than 1,000 Hun infantry bent their bows and arrows and fired arrows at the cavalry surrounded in the center, and for a time the arrows rained down, and more than 20 people were shot down in a short time. Five hundred Hun cavalry lined up in formation, ready to launch a surprise attack after the rain of arrows and storm the surrounded cavalry.

"Don't panic, everyone, break through to the east and run to the county seat of Mayi!"

Unexpectedly, in the hinterland of Yanmen, it was attacked by the Huns, which surprised Yuan Mai. Taking off the strong bow from the saddle, he loudly commanded his subordinates to follow him to the east to break through, because the troops on this side were relatively weak, and it was easiest to rush out.

"Come with me, everyone! Let me rush through a bloody road first! ”

Zhou Cang took the lead, brandished the machete in his hand, dialed the carved arrows, and rushed into battle first, rushing towards the Hun infantry who released the arrows. All the cavalry rode their horses one after another, surrounded Gongzi, and followed closely behind, and the Fan brothers dragged behind at the end.

"Block me, don't let the enemy rush over!" The lieutenant in charge of defending the east side rode on his horse and used a gun to snipe the cavalry that rushed over.

"Strange, is this a Hun soldier? Can you speak the Central Plains dialect, and speak it so authentically? Yuan Mai rode his horse and followed behind Zhou Cang, listening to the shouts of the Hun captain, and his heart was suspicious.

Take a closer look, although this group of enemy soldiers is wearing Xiongnu clothing, their body and face are exactly the same as those of the Han people, and they are not at all like the Huns in Yuan Mai's impression. According to normal logic, the Huns are the ancestors of the Central Asians, and their appearance should be similar to that of the descendants of the Turks, with big noses and white skin, and tall figures.

The two armies are facing each other, how can Yuan Mai think about it, this thought just flashed in his heart. Bending his bow and arrow, he shot an arrow at the shouting captain, as fast as a meteor, as fast as lightning, the other party did not pay attention, an arrow hit the face, turned over and fell off the horse.

"Haha...... Hit, Ben Gongzi's archery skills have improved a little! Yuan Mai was very proud in his heart, after all, he was the archery champion in his previous life, and his archery skills only needed to recover six or seven percent, which was enough to make the enemy frightened.

The lieutenant in charge of the command was shot off his horse, and the soldiers blocking the east were a little flustered, the formation was a little loose, and the arrow rain was also a little sparse, and he was rushed into the array by Zhou Cang, brandishing the machete in his hand, and slashing and killing, and suddenly the flesh and blood flew sideways, and the heads were rolling!

More than 200 cavalry rushed into the archery formation behind Zhou Cang, wielding the weapons in their hands and slashing hard, in order to break through the encirclement as quickly as possible, and then delay for a while, and wait for the Hun cavalry behind to rush up, the two of them were encircled, and they were caught in the middle, and the situation was dangerous.

The combat effectiveness of the Hun infantry was not bad, although they were disrupted by the cavalry, they did not panic, lost their bows, replaced them with spears, and stabbed the cavalry on their horses upward. For a time, the sword light and sword shadow, the sound of killing shook the sky. Yuan Mai's cavalry slashed and killed one hundred and ten Hun infantry at the same time, but also by the enemy's spears overturned more than 20 horses, the knights who landed on the ground did not have time to get up, they were chased by the surrounding Hun soldiers and divided their bodies, the scene was extremely tragic.

Just when Yuan Mai's cavalry and the frontal intercepting infantry were fighting together, the five hundred Hun cavalry behind were lined up in five rows, each row of one hundred horsemen, and the black pressure pounced, the sound of horse hooves was earth-shattering, rolling up the dust in the sky, and the long knife in his hand flickered with cold light, which was daunting.

"Give me the one in the middle who wears a cloak, and the winner will be rewarded with 10,000 yuan, and he will be a general!" A galloping general with a spear in his hand shouted loudly.

Although this cavalry used unilateral stirrups, but the riding skills were skilled, and they could release the reins with both hands, and clamped the mount with only their legs, and the five hundred cavalry were stimulated by heavy rewards and promotions, and they bent their bows and arrows one after another, and gathered fire towards Yuan Mai in the middle, and for a time the arrows were like flying locusts, and more than five hundred strong crossbows poured over to Yuan Mai with the sound of the wind.

The distance between the two teams was only 100 zhang apart, and they were attacked by a rain of arrows in such a close range, and the consequences could be imagined......

"It's really a creation to make people, is it true that I Yuan has not been paid for my ambition, and I am going to die under the arrows of the Huns?" Yuan Mai waved the Chongxiao Sword in his hand and struck a sharp arrow like a storm, and let out a cry unwillingly.

At such a close distance, the arrows shot out were full of strength, and Yuan Mai only dialed a dozen or so, and he felt that his arm was numb, and the Chongxiao Sword in his hand was unstable, and he was in danger. Fortunately, the "cloud-piercing black horse" sitting down was a peerless horse, carrying Yuan Mai to run wildly, so as to avoid Yuan Mai's death under the rain of arrows.

"Continue to chase me, the enemy's main general is already empty, and the merit is in front of you! Shoot the one on the black horse!"

When the enemy's commander saw that Yuan Mai's own soldiers were shot off his horse, forming a large open area around him, he was full of joy and loudly commanded the cavalry behind him to chase after him.

As soon as the enemy's voice fell, he hung his spear on the saddle, took off the strong bow from his back, and shot an arrow at Yuan Mai. The bow is a strong bow, and the arrow path is even stronger, and it comes with the sound of the wind......

With a "poof", Yuan Mai only felt a cone-like pain in his left shoulder spread throughout his body, his whole arm became numb in an instant, and a sharp arrow penetrated his shoulder at once, and the blood immediately stained his robe red, and the sharp pain only made him shake......

"Haha...... Shot, the sons and daughters work harder, shoot this guy off the horse, and go back to receive the reward! The Hun commander was excited when he saw an arrow hit, and commanded his subordinates to continue to concentrate firepower and shoot the wounded Yuan Mai.

Another wave of arrow rain came like snowflakes in the sky, enveloping Yuan Mai in the center, and there was no way to avoid it......

"I'm Fan Hu to help my son!"

Just when the rain of arrows was about to fall, a black horse caught up with Yuan Mai's mount from behind, Fan Hu shouted, suddenly jumped up from the horse, landed on Yuan Mai's horse, and then hugged Yuan Mai tightly, protected him with his body, and shouted hoarsely: "Second child, block the pursuers, I will take ......"

Before the words fell, the rain of arrows had arrived, and there was a "poof" sound of entering the flesh, and more than a dozen arrows had been shot on Fan Hu's back in an instant. From behind, it looks like a hedgehog. Fan Hu couldn't speak anymore, he just hugged Yuan Mai with both hands, blocked his son with his burly body, and protected his master with his life!

"Childe, go away! After I broke the leopard! ”

Fan Leopard, who had been dragging behind and following the cavalry retreat, let out a roar, suddenly turned his horse's head, and no longer ran away, but met the chasing cavalry!

A horse broke into the formation, and suddenly the cavalry formation that rushed in the first row was scattered, and the pursuers behind were also blocked, and the sound of people shouting and neighing horses resounded in the sky. Fan Hu's eyes were red, and he made a sound like a tiger's roar, and the halberd in his hand slashed and stabbed indiscriminately, cutting down five or six pursuers in an instant.

It's just that the tigers caught in the wolves can't stand the wolves, and when Fan Leopard slashed and killed five or six pursuers, he was also stabbed into five or six holes by the enemy's spears......

"Big brother, I'll go first!"

Fan Leopard let out an unwilling roar, and then was drowned by the horse's hooves, and the surging galloping horse swept through like a frenzy, and in an instant only a blurred pool of flesh and blood remained......

"Drive!" Yuan Mai's eyes were red, his eyes were spraying with flames of hatred, the whip in his hand whipped his mount vigorously, and he followed closely behind Zhou Cang, and the "cloud-piercing black horse" under his crotch had already been hit by two arrows, but he was still running like the wind.

Zhou Cang brandished a broadsword, struck all the way, cut down fifty or sixty infantry blocking in the front, and was stabbed twice himself, but finally broke through the encirclement, and led the rout behind him to scatter and ride towards the county seat of Mayi in front.

In an encounter, the 200 cavalry lost more than 150 people, and only more than 40 horsemen were left to rush to the north like crazy, and the Huns behind chased after it, and saw that they couldn't catch up, so they retreated.
