Chapter 551: Duel
When night fell, the sky was like a huge black curtain, and the vast grassland was shrouded in drowsiness.
A quick and crisp horse's hooves broke the tranquility of the prairie. In the haze, dozens of black figures galloped from afar, and the ** war horse pierced through the night like an arrow, and the momentum was very fast. When they got closer, they gradually saw the figures of these horses, and they were thirty or forty Turkic people in tattered clothes and haggard faces, their dusty faces were frightened and panicked, and some of them were wounded by arrows, and blood was pouring down, but they didn't care about bandaging, urging their horses all the way, and looking back nervously from time to time.
In the distance, the twilight was vast, no figures could be seen, no hooves could be heard, and the Chinese people who followed them all the way were gone.
The steppe is the world of our Turks! All the Hu people burst into tears of excitement and roared cheers, and their excitement was beyond words.
After escaping for a while, at least forty or fifty miles away, the Turkic horse was so tired that he exhaled, and the Hu people on the horse were even more panting like cattle under the fright.
After a short rest, one of the leading Hu people looked at his companion, opened his mouth and was about to say something, but somehow, his usually loud voice like a bell had become hoarse at this time, and he obviously wanted to speak Turkic, but in the ears of the clansmen, it was a hoarse "ahhh
I can't even speak! The leading Turk, his face pale, his eyes flashing with boundless fear, he exerted all his strength, desperately screaming, except for the hoarse ahh in his throat, but could not spit out a word. What made him even more frightened was that he was not the only one. The faces of the thirty or forty companions who had fled with him changed color, and none of them could speak.
One of them was bearded. The guy with his hat pressed low, his mouth was stretched wide with both hands, and he desperately wanted to say a few words, but he worked hard for a long time. Still in vain. Thirty or forty Turks listened to the black man roaring angrily. At the same time, I am sad. For a while, the wolf howls came and went.
Or the leading Turk calmed down, thinking about the past few days when he was captured, except for noon today, when the Great Chinese gave them a few pieces of dried meat as if they were suddenly kind, and at other times, he and his companions did not eat rice. After gobbling it up, the dried meat had already turned into a delicious meal in their stomachs. Now think about it. It must have been the insidious Great Chinese who did something in the meat that caused him and his companions. I couldn't speak anymore.
In the roar of rage. The joy of the aftermath of the catastrophe has long been swept away, and the faces of all the Turks are filled with grief and fear. The insidious and cunning of the Great Chinese. It makes them daunting, and their only thought at this time is to get rid of the clutches of the Great Chinese as soon as possible. Return to the bosom of the god of the steppe.
In deep disappointment and fear, the Turks who fled did not have time to count whether the number of people on the left and right knew each other. They gritted their teeth and galloped without saying a word, as if they wanted to leave the Dahua devil behind.
The bearded "Turks" who covered most of their faces blended in with the crowd and gritted their teeth. The look is the most sad and indignant. It's just that it's dark. No one could see his face clearly.
The crowd was dull. I don't know how many miles I traveled. Suddenly, there was the sound of horses' hooves, mixed with the sound of sabers and scabbards clattering against the ground. Far away. Hundreds of Turkic cavalry galloped with torches aloft in their hands.
"Ahh The Hu people who escaped suddenly burst into tears with excitement, and hurriedly raised their arms and cheered hard. The group of Turkic cavalry suddenly accelerated, and headed straight for this direction.
Wait until the two sides are closer. The ground holes of the Turkic cavalry were already clearly visible. The leader was a strong man with a protruding nose. The appearance is very majestic. When he saw the leader of the Hu people who had escaped, he immediately exclaimed: "Durhancha, why are you?!" β
Durhancha howled angrily and nodded, ahhhh
The Turks who escaped all looked anxious, and shouted together, and the leader of the cavalry who led the land came to his senses, and his face suddenly changed greatly: "You can't speak anymore?" β
More than forty Turks nodded in unison. The color of grief and indignation is overflowing.
The torches lit up the grassland a lot, and the bearded man who had shouted the most fiercely before secretly lowered his head, lest people see through the hiding. Even if he couldn't understand Turkic dialect, he could guess what these Hu people were talking about, so he couldn't help but put his hand on his chest and sneaked it, hehe smiled secretly: If you can't speak, it's a fart, as long as your grandfather Gao is willing, tell you not to lift it for the rest of your life, it is also a trivial matter that can be caught by hand.
Forty people can't speak? The leader of the cavalry was horrified, and when he saw the anxious eyes of Durhancha, he immediately didn't care to ask, and hurriedly waved his hand, and the cavalry turned their horses and escorted the Turks who had escaped to run back.
When they had traveled twenty or thirty miles, they saw a huge flat land in front of them. Two or three thousand Turks gathered here, and the voices of the people were loud. These Turks were sweating profusely, fierce and tired, and the Turkic horses had been running for a day and a night, and a layer of crystal beads of sweat appeared in their manes, which looked very dazzling in the bright light of the burning torch.
The Turks had apparently just arrived, and before the saddles had been lowered and the stables had not yet been set up, the three thousand Turkic horses were wagging their tails everywhere in a very disorganized manner.
Chief Gao glanced at it a few times, and couldn't help nodding secretly: Lao Hu, this kid really has two brushes, and the Turks really camped at dusk.
The Turkic cavalrymen, who were busy preparing water and grass for their war horses, watched more than 40 compatriots in ragged clothes and sallow faces step into the camp in gray, and gradually laughter sounded. The Turks were fierce by nature and had always worshipped only the strong, and they could march on the corpses of their companions, which showed their wolf nature. For these compatriots who were captured by Dahua and escaped, the contempt was overflowing.
Bathed in the eyes of many Turks, the Sibei of the high chief hurriedly pulled his hat lower, and his head was almost hanging to his feet, so as not to be seen. His "inferiority" to this point aroused more contempt and ridicule from the Turks, but no one doubted it. No one could have imagined that the Great Chinese would have such courage to infiltrate the Turkic camp alone.
"You're waiting outside. No one is allowed to run around. The leader of the cavalry roared at the crowd and pulled Durhancha in his voice. Hurried to a tent that had just been set up.
Chief Gao's eyes rolled wildly, and he secretly looked around. The three thousand Turkic cavalrymen were covered with dust and dust, and their faces were tired, and it was obvious that the long march of one day and one night had consumed a lot of their physical strength. Most people hold air-dried dried meat in their hands. A ** sits on the ground. Just the clear water that I just drawn. Tearing and biting. There are also hundreds of people who are building stables, ready to replenish water and grass for the horses.
The whole camp was simply erected with two yurts, and the Turks sat on the grass in twos and threes to rest. It seems that they are only taking a short break and will leave for a short time.
Chief Gao was looking at it attentively, and suddenly heard a sharp strange laugh in his ears: "Let go, cowardly captives!" β
He did not understand the Turkic language. I couldn't help but raise my head. I saw two Turkic cavalry shouting. Strange grinning, he carried a large bucket in his hand, full of fresh water that had just been taken from the lake. Unscrupulously pushed away the high chief and the Turks around him. Walk to the stables.
The escaped Hu prisoners of war suffered repeated setbacks. The heart is already on fire. Hearing the shameful laughter of the clansmen, they were even more furious, and several people looked at each other. Stop these two cavalrymen. It's a flurry of punches when you go up! This one fights up. Immediately, the pot exploded, and the Turks, who were still resting on the grass, immediately came up from all around. The Hu camp was in chaos.
Chief Gao sneered a few times. Squeeze out of the crowd at night. Silently approached the place where the horses were concentrated. The grass was laid out in a long row, and within three or five paces there was a large, wide manger. The trough was filled with clean water. Three thousand horses galloped all day. Beads of sweat shine through the mane. The light is shining, and he is leisurely drinking water and eating grass.
After looking around, seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on the riot on the field, Chief Gao took out various medicine bags from his arms. Hold your breath. Creeping close to the sink. The medicinal powder in his hand shook silently into the water.
"What's the noise!" Three people walked out of the freshly built yurt. Except for Durhancha and the leader of the cavalry of the previous Dina, the first one was a strong man in his thirties. The body is majestic and the face is fierce. His eyes widened. As big as a brass bell. No one dared to speak out loud.
This strong man seemed to be the commander of more than 3,000 cavalry, and he said viciously: "All the Turkic warriors. Assemble now. The time has come for the Dahua cavalry to serve the Khan in front of us! β
"Solanko. Wouldn't that be too risky? According to Durhancha, there were as many as 5,000 Chinese who went deep into the grasslands. They are all one-in-a-thousand-mile Dahua elite soldiers. Moreover, the leader of the old attack is cunning and treacherous, and there are many tricks, so we will go like this. Could it be that he is playing tricks on his own?! β
Speaking is the leader of the cavalry that previously rescued Durhancha. His brow furrowed slightly. Look cautious.
"Scared, aren't you?" Solan smiled disdainfully: "Isn't my 3,000 iron cavalry still no match for the 5,000 Chinese?" If you're afraid, go back with the Harhorin tribe first. We, Ejina, will not retreat. β
The cavalry leader said angrily: "You dare to underestimate us? I am valiant of the Harhorin tribe. There is no one who retreats. β
Solanke nodded: "Okay." Khan needs you to be a warrior. Now, by my command, go down and thoroughly investigate the thirty-five men who have been brought back by Durhancha. The Great Chinese are treacherous and cunning. I don't believe they would let their captives escape so easily, there must be some deception involved. β
The two of them spoke, and the high chief only listened to the chatter, but he couldn't understand a word. After the medicine bag was sprinkled into each manger, and after waiting for the tea, the war horse and water plants were almost replenished, and the high chief couldn't help but smile.
The Turks gradually gathered at the tent, and the more than 30 Hu people who had fled back were also called over one by one for questioning.
"One less!" After Solan Ke counted the number of people a few times, he suddenly shouted: "That person must be a spy, search immediately-"
Before he could finish speaking, he heard a swishing sound of arrows shooting into the sky, and the most brilliant flowers burst out in the night, which were incomparably gorgeous.
"Turkic grandchildren, your grandfather Dahua Gao is here!" A bearded, bearded man sat on a horse, laughed loudly, and threw his hat out to reveal his square face.
"That's himβcatch him!" The Turkic cavalry shouted angrily and rushed towards the high chieftain with their sabers held high.
"Driving-" The high chief shouted urgently, holding a knife in one hand to hit the flying arrows, and grabbing the mane with the other hand to urge the ** war horse. The Turkic horse roared, and rushed out of the distance with a whoosh, sending the Turks to the ground. In an instant, he rushed out of the camp!
The Turks were indeed well-trained, and the high chieftains rode out. It was both violent and sudden, but the Hu people did not mess up at all. Thousands of people brushed up on their horses. At the same time, the horse lifts the reins. After him.
In the distance, another arrow flew into the sky. Seems to be responding with here.
"Forty miles ahead. Discover the figure of the Dahua cavalry! "Hurry up ahead. Immediately, the Turkic Commander's cheeks flushed with excitement. He unsheathed his scimitar in his hand and shouted: "Invincible Turkic warriors. For the sake of the Khan, the time has come for meritorious service! Kill the Great Chinese who invaded the grasslands and kill them! β
"Kill the Great Chinese!" The ferocity of the Turks is on full display. The wolf howled, and three thousand men straddled their horses. The body is almost parallel to the horse's back. That's faster than an arrow. The sound of horses' hooves pounding on the grassland like spring thunder. It was as if the earth was trembling.
Chief Gao glanced back. Suddenly, the cold hairs stood on end. More than 3,000 horses rushed in unison. It was like advancing the peaks of the earth under the sky, setting off a cloud of dust and thunderbolts. Enough to cover anything. The sabers in the hands of the Turks shone with a faint cold light. Not close. I already felt the whirring wind. From time to time, arrows flew over the ground, as if they had eyes. Shot at the back of his head, shoulders and chest. The big knife in his hand kept swinging. My mind was numb with fright.
Only in the steppe can you truly feel the invincible king of the Turks. They ran and rode like the wind. It is a land that no other ethnic group does not have. Compared to running in the desert. Groups of Turkic people in the steppe. That's the most vicious and terrible thing.
After running for more than 20 miles in one go, the Turkic horses were sweating like rain, but their speed did not slow down in the slightest. The Hu people behind him were always only two or three hundred feet apart, and the screams of the Hu people and the whistling of sharp arrows rang in their ears. Lao Gao Zong is a peerless martial artist. But I couldn't help but buzz my eardrums. Pale face.
"Old Hu. Don't go back, you don't get out?! Chief Gao opened his mouth and cursed a few times. In his anxiety, he held his head in his hands and hurriedly dodged a cold arrow that struck. ** The ground war horse neighed lowly. White foam in the mouth. The front legs are weak. It fell straight down, falling to the ground and raising its hind hooves. The high chieftain's body was thrown straight out.
See the fall of the great Chinese. The Turks were in high spirits, and they whistled and cheered. Straddle horses rushed like the wind.
"Mom!" Looking at the Huren war horses rushing behind him, it seemed that he was about to kill in front of him in the blink of an eye. Lao Gao's body rolled on the ground twice, and jumped out of the way. Hold your head and swoop.
"Brother Gao, don't be afraid. Hu doesn't come back! There was a loud roar in the distance. The sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded, like spring thunder. Countless torches illuminate the night as day. The Chinese dragon flag hunted and fluttered in the firelight. Lao Gao suddenly burst into tears of excitement: Mother. The helper has finally arrived! ββ
Looking at the Turkic cavalry rushing like a wolf in the distance, Lin Wanrong held the old highland's hand and praised it sincerely: "Brother Gao." If you win this battle, you will be the first to win! β
"Brother Lin has won the award, this is what I should do." Chief Gao smiled, and in the blink of an eye, he forgot about the danger of Fang Cai: "Hu Rendi's war horse galloped out of more than twenty miles in one go, which can be described as running out of oil and running out, hehe, enough for these boys to drink a pot of land." β
The two of them laughed a few words, and the Turkic cavalry on the opposite side had slowly stopped. A stiff voice came from the Hu people's array, which turned out to be in Dahua: "Come from the other side." But the Dahua cavalry nest is attacking?! β
Lin Wanrong smiled and urged forward: "Don't dare." Don't dare, my name should be called by Grandmother Ling. Is it Ejina or General Harhewoodi on the other side? β
"I'm the Ejina Landing Solanke." On the opposite side, a Turkic man with a vicious face stepped out, and the horsewhip in his hand pointed directly at Lin Wanrong: "Nest old attack." Dismount and surrender, and I'll leave you with a whole corpse. Otherwise, you will be torn to pieces. β
"It's so cruel," Lin Wanrong said with a smile: "What kind of general is this, I heard that you are the number one warrior in the grassland, right?" β
Solan Ke was slightly stunned. Though he thinks he is mighty. But he didn't dare to call himself the first warrior of the grassland. But seeing Dahuadi's "Nest Old Attack" thief snickering, he said angrily: "I am one of the bravest warriors of the grassland!" Cowardly Chinese. Do you dare to duel with me?! I assure you in the name of the Land of Warriors. Never sneak up on you! β
Lin Wanrong narrowed her eyes slightly. Stared at his horse a few times. smiled: "You are the first warrior of the grassland." Bracket a bit. It is side by side. What about me. Barely called the weakest warrior of Dahua. Since General Solanke wants to take the first warrior of the steppe. to challenge Dahua's weakest warriors. Alas. I'm too embarrassed to refuseβBrother Suo. What weapon are you best at? β
Solan Ke handed the bow and arrow on his back to others, and proudly raised the sword in his hand: "I am a Turkic cavalryman." Duel with you with a scimitar, of course. Solan can swear in the name of the god of the steppe. Never sneak up on it. β
Wan Rong let out a long laugh: "Since that's the case." I don't take advantage of you either. For the sake of fairness. Brother Suo and I are only allowed to have one weapon in our hands. Whoever falls first, or who gets hit first by the opponent. Then whoever loses. What does Brother Suo think?! β
Want to compete with me in equestrianism? Solanke sneered, "Okay." That's fair. My ground weapon is a scimitar. What do you use?! β
Lin Wanrong took out a swarthy guy from his arms. Hold it in your hand. smiled: "In order to reflect my magnanimity." I'll use a short weapon against you. You see. That's a lot shorter than your cutlass. Brother Suo, I'm an honest man. Everybody knows that. Never take advantage of you. β
The old attacker was holding a short weapon in his hand. Sure enough, it was short. The palm of the Bisolan Kedi is not much bigger. There were two iron pipes tied to it, shining with a ghostly light. I don't see anything powerful.
"Good. Then do as you say. "Solan can rest assured. Urging the horse to step forward.
"Alas. Wait! Lin Wanrong glanced at his war horse again, smiled and waved his hand: "Brother Suo, don't panic, there is one more thing that has not been agreed." β
"What's the matter?!" Look at this big Chinese grinding. Solan was deeply dissatisfied.
Lin Wanrong sneered: "Since it's a duel. Then you have to have a jackpot. Brother Suo. If you lose. Your three thousand cavalry will all be captured. I'm at my disposal! If I lose. I'll just let one go! β
"Are you a fool to me?" Solanke shouted dissatisfiedly, "If I lose, I will lose my people." You lose. But only one person was sparedβ"
"Don't panic," Lin Wanrong felt something out of his boots. smiled: "Look at this, you will know if it is worth it!" β
He held the ground in his hands. It's a small scimitar, made of pure gold. Exquisitely unusual. In the glow of the blazing fire, there was a brilliant brilliance.
"Huh. Isn't this a crescent moon knife?! Chief Gao screamed softly.
Look at the golden scimitar. Solanke's mouth opened wide in shock. There was panic, surprise, and longing in his eyes. He stepped off his horse first. Fall on one knee. He bowed deeply, muttered two sentences reverently. Then there was a fierce glint in his eyes. Turned over and shouted, "Great Chinese." I promise you the conditions! β
This crescent moon. It's even more important than the three thousand people in other places?! A stunned glint flashed in the eyes of Chief Hu Bugui.
Lin Wanrong nodded and smiled. Hand the golden knife to Hu Bugui: "Okay." Brother Suo. This is probably in Dahua and Turkic history. The fairest duel ever. Let's get started! β
"Drive!" Lin Wanrong's voice fell. Solan Ke lifted the reins of his horse, and the scimitar in his hand slashed through a cold light. ran straight towards Lin Wanrong. When his ** war horse rises. It seems to be slightly staggering. It's just that at this time, Solan can be killed. Who would notice this.
"It's good to come!" Lin Wanrong laughed twice. A war horse between the legs. And he ran out like an arrow.
100 zhang, 80 zhang. Seeing the two gradually approaching. They have to fight for their lives. Lin Wanrong suddenly laughed. Turning the horse's head, it was perpendicular to the direction where Solanke was running, and galloped back and forth in the open space in front of the two armies.
"Where to go!" Seeing that the Chinese seemed to be cowardly before fighting, Solan Ke was ecstatic in his heart. With a loud shout, the horse chased after him.
Seeing the boss fighting, the soldiers on both sides did not dare to blink, staring directly at their every move.
Solan Kedi's riding skills are truly extraordinary. Lin Wanrong ran wildly in front. He chased after him, and the distance was getting closer. From the very beginning. until the ground behind is eighty zhang or fifty zhang. The distance gradually approached, and the Dahua soldiers suddenly pinched a cold sweat.
"Look at the guns!" As he ran, Lin Wanrong let out a loud shout and turned his head on the horse. The swarthy barrel was aimed at Solanco.
Immediately, Hu Ren shuddered, and subconsciously lowered his head, but the old man attacked the ground with a short weapon, but he was quiet. There was no abnormal sound, this was a false move. Fang just got close to the ground, and at this moment he pulled away again, and the Dahua soldiers laughed.
This cycle repeats, one person runs, one person chases, whenever the distance between the two sides is shortened, the Chinese people say "look at the gun", Solan can only bow his head helplessly, and provoke the soldiers to laugh.
After two rounds of back and forth, the sarcastic laughter reached Solanko's ears, and the Turkic warriors couldn't stand it anymore, raised their sabers in their hands, and roared angrily: "Cunning nest old attack, if there is a kind, don't run!" β
"Cowardly Solanke, don't chase if you have a kind!" The laughter of the Chinese people came, and it was very relaxed.
Solanke finally couldn't stand it anymore, he used all his strength to slap the ** horse, and the Turkic horse was running, foaming at the mouth faintly, and sweating like blood.
Under Solanke's desperate efforts, the distance between the two sides became closer and closer, thirty zhang, twenty zhang, and gradually, even the cold hair on the face of the big Chinese could be seen clearly.
"Look at the guns!" Lin Wanrong turned around abruptly and roared angrily. Solan Ke was threatened a lot, but at this time he was not afraid, not only did he not dodge, but his face was even more fierce. "Ride-" He threw a whip on the horse, and the Turkic horse neighed weakly, and with a bang, his head and feet were planted backwards, and his body was suddenly bounced straight out like a straight stone.
There was a loud bang, and Solan Ke fell to the ground heavily, with a huge blood hole in his forehead, his eyes wide open, and he couldn't see it!
