Chapter 236: A Powerful Enemy

Half an hour later, there was not a single living Hawariji in the village.

For this night attack of the Tang army, the followers of the Havaliji faction were obviously unprepared. The mysterious Condor Archer who took away all the cavalry of the Havaliji faction and then wiped out the whole army did not return here, and these guys in the village were probably waiting for the cavalry to return victoriously, who did not expect the Tang cavalry to come so quickly.

The village was littered with corpses, and the smell of blood and scorching smell wafted in all directions.

The Yuan Rong crossbowmen began to use the light of the fire to recover precious pure steel arrows from the corpses, and the leader of the Turkic cavalry, with Zhao Yang's consent, raised his torches and began to search for loot in the fire.

The Hawariji had moved their lair directly from the vicinity of Kufa, and the village was so rich that the Turkic soldiers soon realized that it was different from the other villages they had seen on the road, and for a moment they were very excited and shouted with great joy.

……

In the night, between the rolling sand dunes, two figures are separated by more than 100 zhang, galloping at high speed under the dim starlight.

Niu Xu was carrying a huge seven-stone bow on his back, staring at the figure in front of him who was also carrying a giant bow, his huge body was extremely flexible, and his speed was as fast as the wind.

The Condor Archer was a real strong man, and he had chased him for so long, and had gone back and forth in the desert so many times, that he had almost shot all the huge arrows in the quiver, and he had barely hit the guy with an arrow, and he had not hurt the vital point.

He was extremely confident in his archery skills, and only a truly powerful condor archer would be able to dodge so many arrows from him. He knew that the guy was injured in the arm, otherwise he wouldn't have been able not to fight back.

He was the scout leader of the new army of Anxi, and this guy shot many of his brothers in the daytime, and this revenge must be avenged.

In the Battle of Shashan, this condor archer was shot by Yuan Rong's crossbow with one arrow, and with his arrow, that guy had already been hit by two arrows, and he could still run so fast.

However, Niu Xu has enough confidence in himself, and he also has enough patience. When he pursued Bian Lingcheng, he didn't give up for more than a month, but now he has only been chasing for two or three hours, how could he give up?

Patiently adjusting his breathing and saving his physical strength as much as possible, Niu Xu seemed to have returned to the days of being a ranger in Chang'an City, and the opponent in front of him was his prey.

There were no arrows left in his quiver, and he still had the last arrow in his hand.

He wasn't going to shoot this arrow right away. This will be his final blow, and he will definitely not do it without the necessary certainty.

I don't know how long I chased it, but after turning a sand mountain, a huge oasis appeared in the distance, and on the oasis was a burning village. At this time, the figure that was running against the ground suddenly turned back, and suddenly stumbled and fell heavily to the ground.

Niu Xu's eyes suddenly lit up, and the giant bow on his back had instantly reached his hand, and the giant arrow was on the string and bent the bow like a full moon. The moment the figure got up, the giant arrow was already flying out, spinning at high speed and flying towards the man's back.

Then he took the great bow and sped forward.

There was a snort of pain in the darkness, and the figure fell heavily. Niu Xu's eyes were cold, and the horizontal knife was already in his hand in an instant.

He was a ranger, accustomed to acting in the dark, and he could see very clearly just now that the last arrow only cut through the enemy's robe, and did not hit at all. The moment his giant arrow was fired, the enemy moved in place, and he had already avoided it.

However, in this way, the distance between the two sides is rapidly approaching. Niu Xu rushed to the black shadow, and the black shadow suddenly bounced off the ground, and a snow-bright short sword in his left hand stabbed Niu Xu fiercely.

Niu Xu had already taken precautions, and the horizontal knife was swung out suddenly, slashing heavily at the short sword.

Niu Xu is tall and strong, with huge strength, dozens of pounds of mace dance easily, and the horizontal knife is light and thin, and it is extremely fast. The two weapons collided, and the black shadow snorted in pain, and with the help of its strength, it actually rose vertically and swung several feet away.

He was originally going to attack Niu Xu by deception, but he didn't expect Niu Xu's eyesight to be excellent, and he didn't fall for him at all. After missing the blow, he turned around and ran towards the burning village in the distance.

Niu Xu carried the huge bow to his back and chased after him with a horizontal knife. The enemy's figure is relatively thin, but the speed is not slow, and from time to time he looks back at Niu Xu, his eyes under the veil are cold, and he obviously hates Niu Xu who is chasing after him.

The two chased and fled, getting closer and closer to the burning village, and they could already hear the sound coming from inside.

Although the distance is still far away, the Anxi official dialect and Turkic dialect are understandable. A smile appeared at the corner of Niu Xu's mouth, it was his own person!

The figure under the black robe screamed in pain, stopped running towards the village, and suddenly turned around and ran towards a poplar forest outside the village, and the speed also increased suddenly.

The two were extremely close, and Niu Xu could already hear the sound of each other's heavy breathing, but at this moment, the breathing of the black shadow suddenly became long and even, and there was no feeling of heaviness.

The speed of the black shadow was also incredibly fast, which made Niu Xu feel the pressure instantly.

In a few breaths, the distance between the two quickly widened, and Niu Xu had already used all his strength, but he still couldn't keep up with this guy's pace.

"A trick to lure the enemy!" Niu Xu's heart suddenly froze.

This emaciated fellow had not used all his strength before, and had always wanted to lure him to this village. Later, he found out that the village had been occupied by his own robes, so he really ran with all his might!

Seeing that the black shadow was about to rush into the poplar forest, Niu Xu was in a hurry.

He had been ordered to catch this guy, and he had been very confident in himself, but now that the enemy was in front of him, he was about to slip away!

Desperately squeezing his strength, Niu Xu accelerated again, roaring and rushing towards the poplar forest in the night.

In the depths of the poplar forest, the black shadow quietly stopped.

The giant bow on his back had been removed, and a huge arrow was placed on the string.

One end of the giant bow was as sharp as a knife, piercing deep into the earth, and the black shadow kicked the bow arm tightly, pulling the bowstring in his left hand, and leaning back his whole body, with the help of the weight of his body, the giant bow was pulled apart by most of the weight.

Although his posture was strange, his body was extremely stable, and the giant bow did not move at all.

The sound of footsteps sounded quickly, and a tall figure rushed into the poplar forest like a giant tower.

A hint of coldness appeared in the dark shadow's eyes, and he suddenly released the bowstring. A huge arrow flew out and rushed towards the tall figure.

"Poof!"

With a muffled sound, the giant arrow hit the chest of the tall figure!

The tall figure let out a snort of pain, threw itself to the ground, and then rolled on the spot, hiding behind a poplar tree.

One blow hit, but the black shadow did not like to fight, put away the giant bow on his back, and continued to gallop towards the depths of the poplar forest at high speed.

Soon after, a small clearing appeared in front of the shadow, and a healthy horse was tethered to the clearing. The black shadow untied the horse, quickly whipped out of the poplar forest, and headed in the direction of the city of Xi Mi.

In the poplar forest, Niu Xu clutched his chest, listening to the sound of horses' hooves moving away quickly, and his heart was very annoyed.

He didn't understand how the other party could pull the giant bow when his right hand was injured.

I didn't expect that the other party actually hid horses in this place!

But he knew very well that the enemy was powerful, incredibly powerful. If he hadn't been injured, I'm afraid he would have been defeated by the other party a long time ago!

Forcibly enduring the pain of his heart, Niu Xu took a look at his injuries.

The arrow pierced through the chest and pierced straight through, looking extremely scary. But I shouldn't have hurt the vital point, and I'm really lucky.

If the injury in this part hurts the heart and lungs, it will be an immediate death, and you will not be able to live at all. Now that he is not dead, that is, his heart and lungs are fine.

At this moment, Niu Xu was also glad that he had a big life. Shooting in the chest and abdomen without killing people is all luck, and no matter how good the condor shooter is, he is not so sure.

Pasting the gold sore medicine on the front chest and back stopped the surging blood, Niu Xu also felt dizzy.

It's just that he saved his life, but the task given by Uncle Pony can't be completed.

Niu Xu was extremely frustrated in his heart, and stood in the poplar forest for a while, making sure that he was not fatally injured, and then he supported himself out of the poplar forest and walked towards the burning village in front of him.

In the process of pursuit, he and his opponent abandoned their horses, and now if they want to go back, they have to rely on these robes who have come here.

……

Zhao Yang Lingma was in the open space in the center of the village, watching the athletes carefully recycle the arrows, and a tall figure slowly walked over from outside the village with a horizontal knife.

The man who came was carrying a huge bow, which stood out in the firelight.

Zhao Yang rode his horse and galloped over, and the human body was as strong as an ox, and a conspicuous scar on his delicate face was Niu Xu.

Seeing that Niu Xu's face was pale and his whole body was stained red with blood, Zhao Yang was startled and hurriedly jumped off the horse.

"Did you catch that guy?" Using Xizhou Dalian to re-bandage Niu Xu's wound and making sure that Niu Xu's injury was not fatal, Zhao Yang asked bluntly.

Niu Xu shook his head in annoyance: "I caught up with him, but he still escaped, and I was also shot by him." I heard your voices, and I came and looked. ”

"Where did you go?" Zhao Yang asked.

Niu Xu said: "In the poplar forest outside the village. He hid a war horse there, and he was supposed to return here, but then he heard your voice and ran into the woods. There he shot and wounded me, and then fled on horseback. ”

"Don't pick it up! Go find that guy first! Zhao Yang ordered the athletes to get on their horses and gallop to the poplar forest outside the village.

Five hundred athletes scattered, holding torches and searching around the vicinity of the poplar forest.

Zhao Yang and Niu Xu both hated the condor shooter very much, but after looking for a long time, they found nothing.

In the darkness of the night, it was difficult to see the horse's hoof prints, and it was not clear which direction the enemy was fleeing, so it was not easy to find a single man and a horseman.

In the end, everyone had to give up and return to the village to continue cleaning the battlefield.

Miles away, under the stars.

A thin figure sat on horseback with an exaggerated bow on his back, looked back at the village where the flames were rising, and after a long time turned his head and galloped slowly in the direction of the city of Goods. (To be continued.) )
