"Let's go!" Li Shuyun slapped his horse and arrived, shot down a Wu sergeant with an arrow, and stretched out his hand. "Ah Xiao, get on the horse-"
Liang Xiao stretched out his hand, grabbed Li Shuyun's hand tightly, and with the strength of Li Shuyun, jumped up and landed behind Li Shuyun, his legs tightly clamped the horse's back, his arms hugged Li Shuyun's waist, and he clenched his teeth in pain. The round of running just now almost exhausted his strength, and the wounds on his body seemed to have cracked, and the tearing pain made it difficult for him to even breathe.
Li Shuyun grabbed his belt with his backhand, controlled the war horse with only his legs, and led the other two horses towards Qin Ge. Qin Ge hurried a few steps, jumped up, stretched out his hand to hug the horse's neck, and his body flew up like a leaf, landing on the horse's back.
"Let's go!" Qin Ge let out a loud shout, turned his horse's head, and rushed to the northwest. Three horses spread their hooves and galloped between the tents. Sergeant Wu was caught off guard, and he didn't have time to react at all, and watched them rush out of the camp.
Wei Qing and the others, who were fighting with Qu Shou, saw Liang Xiao and them rushing out, and they no longer fell in love with the battle, turned the horse's head, roared, and disappeared into the night.
Sergeant Wu shot a burst of arrows, but did not dare to chase them. The night was dark, and they didn't know how many enemies there were, and they didn't have the courage to face the cavalry alone, and it would be a victory for them to be able to repel the enemy and hold the camp.
Qu Shou held the sword, his eyes widened, staring into the distance, pricking up his ears, listening to every move in the night. He was really tormented by these cavalrymen who came and went like the wind. The speed of the war horse is too fast, and the knight's archery is superb, waiting for you to hear the sound of the horse's hooves clearly. The opponent's arrow has arrived. Didn't wait for you to be ready. They are in front of them, or continue to attack, or turn around and leave, they have no time to react, and the initiative is completely controlled by the other party.
In a short raid, in less than a meal, the Wu army lost at least twenty people, not counting those who were shot and wounded. And they didn't even figure out how many enemies they had. Whether it's a few or a dozen, or dozens, they don't know.
Qu Shou was nervous. It was the first time he encountered a cavalry raid, and it was a night attack, and he suffered heavy losses in a hurry. His heart was beating like a drum, his mouth was dry, and bursts of cold sweat were pouring out of his body, as if he had experienced a battle of life and death.
The night was calm again, and the sound of horses' hooves was no longer heard. But Qu Shou still didn't dare to be careless.
……
Liang Xiao and the others didn't go too far, they only ran four or five hundred steps before slowing down.
Before figuring out the situation. The Wu army will not pursue easily. And two legs can't outrun four legs, so even if someone chases them, they have enough time to escape.
Liang Xiao has changed to Qingcheng's back. He almost collapsed, crouched on horseback, not even wanting to say a word.
Qin Ge and the others didn't speak. Although it was easy to win a small victory, not even a single seriously injured, but they still couldn't get up easily. In order to shoot Jing Tian, Liang Xiao and Qin Ge rushed into the camp, but no one knew whether they succeeded or not.
Qin Ge didn't know either. At that time, the situation was urgent, and he didn't have time to pay attention to Liang Xiao at all. He only knew that Liang Xiao was still forty or fifty steps away from the big tent when he was closely, and Jing Tian didn't seem to show up. In his opinion, the probability of Liang Xiao hitting Jingtian is almost zero.
"Ah Xiao?" Wei Qing urged the horse to come over and walk side by side with Liang Xiao. "How?"
"It's fine." Liang Xiao said weakly: "Except for the wound that seems to have cracked again, everything else is fine." ”
"Then did you see Jingtian?"
"The eyes don't see, but the heart does." Liang Xiao chuckled: "Don't worry, I shot two arrows, I should have hit it." I can't guarantee that I won't shoot or not. But even if he hadn't been shot, he wouldn't have stayed here. ”
"Why?" Wei Qing was puzzled.
Qin Ge also rushed over to take a look at Liang Xiao. In the dark night, he couldn't see Liang Xiao's expression clearly, but he could feel Liang Xiao's ease and pride from Liang Xiao's laughter. He remembered Liang Xiao's loud roar. "You mean, he's going to settle accounts with your master?"
Liang Xiao nodded. "That's right, there was a contradiction between them, I added a handful of firewood to them, and even if Jingtian didn't die, he would take this revenge on my master's head. With his character, he will not swallow this breath, and he will definitely rush back to ask for an explanation, and by the way, cover up the inability to defeat Fubori. ”
When Qin Ge and the others heard this, they were skeptical. Liang Xiao didn't explain either, these people had nothing to say, they used their brains and played with their hearts, which was a little worse.
"You don't have to worry, just wait for dawn and see if there is any news to send back to the Yue thief camp." Liang Xiao said confidently. Although he is only 70% sure, he must show 10% certainty.
Master, I'm sorry. If you pit me, I must also pit you, otherwise how can I be worthy of your teachings.
……
Qu Shou rushed into the big tent and looked at Jing Tian who was lying in a pool of blood, dumbfounded.
Two holes were broken in the west side of the tent, and the light of the fire from outside penetrated through the holes, like peeping eyes in the night, flashing with a cunning and sinister light.
Qu Shou's heart twitched for a while, and he didn't know how to explain to Jing Zhao. Your son was shot by two stray arrows that pierced the tent, and he was killed. Will Jing Zhao believe it?
Not to mention that Jing Zhao wouldn't believe it, even Qu Shou himself didn't believe it.
"Yes...... Who? Qu Shou was dripping in cold sweat, and his eyes were a little straight. Who wounded the general? ”
"Yes...... It's Huan Yuan...... "Jing Tian is like a gossamer, his face is bloodless, his teeth are clenched, and every word seems to be squeezed out of his teeth, with indescribable hatred.
"Huan...... Far? Qu Shou was startled, but a little relieved. To say that this is not a stray arrow, but a deliberate one, seems more convincing than a stray arrow. Huan Yuan's shooting skills can be seen without eyes, but only by ears. Jing Tian's voice was different, and it was not impossible to distinguish Jing Tian's location through the tent and shoot him with one arrow.
It's just that...... How could Jing Tian be in the back account at that time, shouldn't he be in the front account, waiting for news?
"Yes...... Huan Yuan's disciple. Jing Tian stretched out his hand with difficulty and grabbed Qu Shou tightly. Tell...... I...... Father, let him ...... ...... for me Report...... Avenge. Huan Yuan...... Pack...... Harboring evil intentions, don't ...... Cannot...... Not defensive. ”
Qu Shou breathed a sigh of relief and became nervous at the same time. Jing Tian was killed, and he pointed out that Huan Yuan harbored evil intentions, which involved the battle between Jing Zhao and Huan Yuan, was it wise for him to be caught in it? But thinking about it, if you don't want to take responsibility for Jing Tian's death, it seems that you can only push this matter onto Huan Yuan.
"General, did you hear with your own ears that it was Huan Yuan's disciple?" Qu Shou asked cautiously, and at the same time glanced at Jing Tian's personal guard.
Jingtian's personal guards are like mourning. Jing Tian is dead, and these people can't escape death, in order to fight for a glimmer of life, of course they have to bite Huan Yuan to death. Seeing Qu Shou looking at them, they immediately said in unison: "That's right, it's Huanyuan's disciple, we heard it with our own ears." ”
"Yes, I heard it with my own ears. The man was a skilled shooter, almost every shot. ”
"Yes, in addition to a few of our brothers, he also shot a dozen soldiers, all of them with an arrow to their throats. The corpse is still outside, if Sima doesn't believe it, he can go and see it for himself. ”
Qu Shou let out a long breath and nodded heavily. "General, don't worry, I will definitely tell General Jing."
"Killed...... Huan Yuan, ...... for me" Jing Tian stared, with endless regret and resentment, and spat out his last breath-
