~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The sky was slightly bright, the wilderness was foggy, the hillside meadows were shining with dewdrops, and a dense forest in the distance was shrouded in white mist. When a person enters the forest, within ten steps, it is difficult to tell the trace.
At this moment, there were seven or eight Karasuma men wearing pointed hats, shabby fur jackets, and bows and arrows in the middle of the forest. After a while, there was a sharp sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and five or six Karasuma people galloped towards them.
The first one was unkempt in hair, with a fleshy face, a short body, and a large gold ring hanging from his left ear. As soon as this man arrived, the surrounding Karasuma people gathered around him and prostrated under his horse.
The Karasuma leader stared at the dense forest, his eyes shining with fierce light, and said in a rough voice, "Is it confirmed?" People are in it? ”
"Yes, Chief Flax. We found the hoof prints of horses nearby, which disappeared into the forest in front of us. A Karasuma man kneeling on the grass replied in a loud voice.
Another added: "The horseshoe prints are camouflaged, and if we don't search carefully, we are afraid that they will be difficult to find." ”
Wu Ma took out a mulberry bow from the saddle, drew another arrow, and a cruel smile appeared on his black face: "Drive them out one by one, I will make their men bleed and women cry dry today." ”
With the leader's order, the eleven Karasuma people tied their horses one after another, drew their bows and arrows, and approached the dense forest step by step, their figures gradually engulfed in the thick fog.
Wu Ma and his two subordinates rode back and forth from time to time, and shot left and right, waiting for the big killing. Unexpectedly, it was half an hour, until the sky was bright, the sun was shining, and the fog in the dense forest dissipated, and there was not even the slightest movement. The eleven Karasuma men with bows and swords seemed to dissipate with the mist.
The black flax scalp was a little numb, and the two subordinates also felt bad, and the three men and three horsemen slowly approached each other, raising the bow and arrow in their hands little by little, and their minds were uncertain about the dark and heavy dense forest.
After a while, Wu Ma shook his head and motioned to his subordinates on the left: "You, go in and have a look." ”
“…… Be. The subordinates were uneasy, but they did not dare to disobey, nor did they dismount, so they rode forward slowly.
Shout!
A cold arrow suddenly shot out of the dark forest, piercing the head of the Karasuma man, and the corpse fell heavily, and the frightened mount chief hissed and ran away.
With two swishing sounds, Wu Ma and his men shot two arrows in the direction where the cold arrows flew out of the forest. Then they quickly drew their bows and arrows, and pointed forward, but there were no screams in the dense forest, except for two tuks, apparently hitting the trees.
"Gosang, you ...... to the left"
As soon as Wu Ma drank and ordered the last of his subordinates to be outflanked separately, he shot two arrows in the forest, the speed of the arrows was extremely fast, and the strength was surprisingly great. An arrow knocked Guosang up from the horse's back, fell to the ground, pierced the heart with an arrow, and saw that he could not live.
The second arrow penetrates the black thigh into the horse's belly, connecting the man and the horse. The horse fell down with a cry of sorrow, and Wuma was also crushed by the overturned horse in pain, unable to move, struggling to get up, and the bow and arrow in his hand fell several feet away.
At this time, a person slowly paced out in the forest, with short hair, a green belt and a forehead, tight soft armor, and camouflage pants. Holding a large bow nearly one person high, carrying two bags of arrows, the body is more than eight feet long, majestic and light, and a sharp and angular face in the sunlight is very three-dimensional.
Horseman!
Ma Han walked slowly to Wuma, flicked the face with the mud grass stems and scratches with the tip of his bow, and said lightly: "Do you know how to speak Youyan?" ”
Wu Ma kept struggling, his face was distorted by the great pain, and one hand slowly touched the short blade of flesh on his waist, and said in Youyan's words: "You...... You're Hannu......"
Syllable! The tip of the bow slammed into the black flax's cheek, and two large teeth and a mouthful of dirty blood spurted out of his mouth, staining the green grass red.
"I'm Han! Be careful what you say. Ma Han said coldly, "This is a warning, another offense is four teeth, and another offense is eight." If you don't plan to chew with your teeth later, just say. ”
Wu Ma stared at the demonic face in front of him with a pair of pig bubble eyes, and he didn't dare to fire the cannon indiscriminately.
"Let me ask you, Lao Tzu is sleeping well in the woods, why do you dogs wake me up? And with a bunch of broken bows and arrows, I'm making trouble with Lao Tzu - who ordered you to come! ”
Wuma's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked incredulous: "You are the only one in this forest?" ”
"Yes, it's just me...... Ma Han stared at Wuma gloomily, "You don't want to say that you are looking for the wrong person, are you?" ”
Wuma hated and regretted: "We are looking for fugitive slaves, thinking that they are hiding in the woods, but I didn't expect ...... Wait, you're only one person, and the warriors of my eleven clans ......"
"That's right, I slaughtered them all. What a bullshit warrior! It's all herdsmen who have no training, and they still use short arches and arrows......" Ma Han's tone was extremely disdainful. Finally figured it out, it turned out to be chasing fugitive slaves, no wonder the equipment and combat effectiveness were so low, but after half a burnt incense, they were all killed by themselves. It was precisely because of the opponent's low combat power and rudimentary bow and arrow that Ma Han finally confirmed that these people were not chasing and killing the dozen or so Karasuma Seikon riders who had been chasing him for a whole month. If it weren't for that, how could he have walked out of the jungle and had a fight with this half-dead Karasuma man?
"Bastard...... Yes! ”
Wu Ma took advantage of Ma Ma's distraction, suddenly pulled out the meat cleaver, and as soon as his hand moved, he was pulled out of his backpack and arrows by Ma Ma, who had been prepared, and inserted them fiercely, and the arrows firmly nailed Wu Ma's arm and hip bones together, and the blood stained the lower half of his body.
"I'm going to kill you, I'm going to eat your flesh raw, I'm going to ...... Yes! ”
In the midst of Wuma's frantic scolding, Ma Han raised his big scalp boots and stepped heavily on the tail of the arrow.
The black hemp eyes almost bulged out of the sockets, the whole body twitched, the mouth opened wide, and there was a ho-ho sound: "What do you think...... It's just me...... Chasing the fleeing centaurs...... Wait...... Wait...... They...... Will it be for me...... Revenge ......"
"Karasuma people! Lao Tzu sees one and kills the other! Ma Han stretched out his fingers and hooked the golden earrings of the black linen, and ripped them off violently, ignoring the blood, his eyes were cold, "The property of the Karasuma people, how much to rob as much!" ”
Ma Han's great resentment towards the Karasuma people was all due to the fact that he was chased and fought back this month, running thousands of miles.
Since the shooting of Lu Xiang on the bank of the Leaping Horse Creek, Ma Han has been pursued by the Jizhou army in all directions.
Guo Tufei rode back to Xindu, laid down layers of interception nets, and at the same time issued a huge reward: those who won the head of the horse warrior will have a bounty of 100 horses and 100 cloth horses; Those who return the white horse will be rewarded.
Ma Han's original plan was to go east and take refuge in Beihai Kongrong, and under this weak master, he could rise strongly. Unexpectedly, he was squeezed by the Jizhou army's heaven and earth net and kept running north, running farther and farther, until he came out of the Great Wall and came to the foot of Yanshan.
How many pursuers did he kill along the way to the north? At first, Ma Han was still engaged in statistics, but after breaking through the value of 200, he was no longer interested in counting. All the way north, constantly killing enemies, capturing and replenishing, I don't know how many shields, armor, swords and spears have been changed, and I don't know how many arrows have been shot, the only thing that remains unchanged next to him is his white horse silver arrow and the leopard bow in his hand.
After a month of life and death escape, Shengsheng sharpened his horse into a master of mounted archery, and in dozens of dangerous pursuits, he mastered the highest meaning of mounted archery - returning horse arrows!
Since entering Daijun, the Jizhou army has given up the pursuit of Ma Han, because it is Liu Yu's territory. But Mahan didn't get any better because of this, because the Karasuma people, whose eyes were red from being provoked by the bounty, swarmed him, causing him even more trouble. In the end, even Wuyan, the king of Khanlu, one of the "Three Counties Karasuma" entrenched in Youbeiping, sent more than 100 elite horsemen to search for him everywhere. Of course, this king of Khan Lu is not greedy for that small reward, but greedy for famous horses.
As a result, Ma Han was surrounded by one of the Karasuma Elite Cavalry in Gushui, north of Yuyang County, and after killing all the enemy, he himself was hit by two arrows, and the arrows were coated with aconitum poison...... If it weren't for the fact that his body had been injected with a variety of antivenom serums and produced certain antibodies to unknown toxins, it is estimated that he would not even have the strength to escape...... Imagine how Ma Han could not be angry. This beam between him and the Karasuma people is settled.
The horse warrior hastily cleaned up the scene, entered the dense forest again, and pulled out the silver arrows of the treasure horse, followed by three pack horses carrying a large number of arrows, axes, armor and shields, provisions, and goods.
The horses of Uma and the rest of the clansmen were not taken into account, and his pack horses, but the sturdy war horses that Karasuma Jing rode were far from being compared to the silver arrows, but they were also much better than ordinary horses.
As soon as he galloped out of the second mile, he caught a glimpse of a figure flashing on the hillside on the left. Without thinking, Ma Han immediately loosened the reins of the pack horse, clamped his feet, and the silver arrow shot out like an arrow, and rushed up the hill at a high speed.
Looking down from the hillside, you can see that more than fifty paces away, a thin figure is running hard. Judging from the costume, it should be a Karasuma person, and judging from the back, it is a teenager, maybe even a child.
Thinking of the cruel words made by Fang Cai Wuma before he died, Ma Han decisively raised the leopard bow in his hand, and the arrow reflected the sun, and the cold light was dazzling.
"Do you want to report to the people of the clan to take revenge? Although I am not afraid, I also don't want to be entangled endlessly. I'm sorry, but you'll be the first minor to die under my arrows! ”
