Because he was worried that the Xianbei people would come to sneak attack, Liu Ziqiu only rested for a quarter of an hour before beckoning everyone to get on his horse and continue to hurry. Lin Qiao'er also hurriedly ran from behind a bush of low trees, probably running in a hurry, and her face was red.

Liu Ziqiu actually has a lot to ask her. Was it faith in the tall and thin man who frightened her yesterday? What does that Xianbei man want to do today? But now the most important thing is to save energy, and I can only try not to speak.

Half an hour later, Lin Qiao'er suddenly caught up with Liu Ziqiu in front of her, and whispered: "King, the slave family, the slave family wants to go again to make it convenient." ”

Liu Ziqiu was a little puzzled. However, women are sometimes in trouble, and maybe even on those days of the month. But this kind of thing, Liu Ziqiu is not easy to ask, so he has to wave his hand and let her go quickly, and he will seize this time to do another pranayama.

Suddenly, a samurai who had been released to serve as a jǐng ring rode over and shouted, "My lord, there is an enemy attack!" ”

Liu Ziqiu sneered and said, "Sure enough, it's here!" Get on your horse and head north! ”

Ji Rentai hesitated: "Lord, Mrs. Lin has not come yet. ”

As she spoke, Lin Qiao'er was already trotting all the way in disheveled clothes, presumably she also knew the news of the enemy attack. All the people mounted their horses and ran north.

The enemy came quickly, about 500 people, all masked, maybe Xianbei people, or from some other tribe, and it was really impossible to distinguish from the clothes alone. However, the men did not wait to rush closer, but still began to fire arrows from a distance. Yoshihito-tai and the thirteen samurai also took their bows and arrows and returned to shè.

Liu Ziqiu's riding skills and archery skills are very loose, and now that he has lost his strength, he can't help a little, so he only cares about riding his horse and galloping forward. Lin Qiaoer's riding skills are obviously better than Liu Ziqiu's, and while she is protecting Jin Xiaohu, she still has time to look back.

Ji Rentai and they all grew up on horseback since childhood, and they were selected from the Xihai tribe, and their riding skills were first-class. The two sides chase me and flee, and arrows come and go. More than 20 of the attacking enemy horsemen dismounted, and five of the thirteen samurai were shot by arrows.

The warriors selected by Liu Ziqiu were equipped with jīng liang, and the sheepskin jacket was lined with iron armor, and the iron armor also wore several layers of silk clothing. The nomadic tribes mostly used soft bows, and although the shè technique was jīng, its strength was limited. After the feather arrow was blocked by the iron armor, its power was greatly reduced, and it was entangled in silk, although it looked like it was stained red with blood, but it did not hurt the internal organs and bones.

Although the man was not seriously injured, the war horse suffered. Of the sixteen horsemen, seven horses were struck by arrows. The horses had no armor, so they tore the samurai to the ground. It is also thanks to these samurai riding skills that they dodge the feathered arrows that come from behind and the horses that fall to the ground and roll on the ground, while still having the strength to pull their fallen companions onto their horses. If Liu Ziqiu was replaced, he would never have been able to do this.

However, two samurai rode on one horse, and the speed naturally slowed down, and the pursuers behind them got closer and closer. Ji Rentai suddenly reined in his horse and shouted, "My lord, go quickly, I'll stop them!" ”

The other samurai also turned their horses' heads, and the pursuers behind slowed down when they saw this. Since the other party did not intend to continue to escape, with their numerical superiority, they had already won the victory. The men of Xihai are the most bold, and they have to give their opponents enough respect.

Ji Rentai took out his scimitar, subconsciously turned his head, and found that Liu Ziqiu had also turned back the war horse, standing quietly behind them, and couldn't help but be anxious, shouting: "Lord, go quickly!" ”

Liu Ziqiu shook his head and said slowly: "Liu will not leave any of his brothers to run for his life alone!" ”

Running all the way just now, Liu Ziqiu's physical exertion was extremely great, and after saying this, his chest rose and fell, and finally "wow" spurted out a mouthful of blood.

If it were usual, Liu Ziqiu would definitely be at the forefront. But today he went a little too far for the leaders of the town, and this was the time he fell off the cliff, and his physical condition was not as bad as it is now. Now that he is being closely pursued by an enemy who doesn't know where he came from, it seems that there is less luck in the ferocity.

Suddenly, there was a shout from both sides, and thousands of cavalry rushed out all over the mountains, bypassing Liu Ziqiu and them, and rushed straight towards those pursuers. After a moment of panic, the pursuers were ambushed, and then turned their horses back and left, abandoning even the victory that came to their lips.

Nomadic cavalry likes to fight favorably the most, chasing after them when they have a position, and turning around and running when they lose power. Everyone rode and shè, and the fight between chasing and fleeing was very lively, but the casualties on both sides were often extremely limited. After years of tribal conflict on the steppe, they were able to survive, presumably thanks to this.

However, this ambush army was obviously different from usual, they didn't chase for long, and they gathered together to meet Liu Ziqiu.

When he left Weiding City yesterday, Zhao Ling reminded Liu Ziqiu to guard against the sneak attack of the Xianbei people. Although Wen Hao and the others did not think so, Liu Ziqiu attached great importance to it, and immediately arranged for Wen Hao, Jiao Liyan and Tumulu to lead a cavalry to sneak into the field, and at the same time transferred three thousand-strong teams of archers, wrestlers and pikemen to set up an ambush in a valley fifty miles west of Weiding City.

Liu Ziqiu's plan is very bold, if the Xianbei people really dare to come, he will use himself as a bait to introduce the Xianbei people into that valley, and use the terrain to severely damage or even completely annihilate this Xianbei people. The main force of the battle will be the three thousand-man teams, and the cavalry will mainly meet and pursue the remnants of the enemy on the periphery, and if necessary, they can also gallop to the aid of Weiding City, which is equivalent to an empty city. If it weren't for that, how could he go to the Tuoba Department with only thirteen horsemen?

However, the unexpected loss of strength in his body made Liu Ziqiu change his mind. If the inn is eaten by a fish, it won't work, and he must make sure that he is safe first. Therefore, when he walked halfway, Liu Ziqiu would temporarily change his itinerary and turn north. Because there was the nearest cavalry lurking here.

This is a nomadic cavalry, and the commander of the thousand is the horn of the Yan. In order to compete for the position of the leader of the Xihai Clan, Jiao Liyan once went toe-to-toe with Liu Ziqiu. When Jiaoliyan's cavalry did not show up for a long time, Liu Ziqiu was also a little uncertain, and even doubted whether Jiaoliyan wanted to take the opportunity to take revenge. However, the appearance of Kakuriyan has dispelled all suspicions, and this guy can now be trusted.

When Jiao Liyan came back with his troops, Liu Ziqiu had already dismounted and rested for a while, but his face was still frighteningly pale. Jiao Liyan was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Lord, are you injured?" ”

Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, you go and check where these people come from first?" Isn't it a Xianbei person? ”

Jiao Liyan agreed, led hundreds of people and galloped away, and after a while, he turned back, bowed down and said, "Lord, it's not a Xianbei person. ”

Liu Ziqiu was a little surprised, and looked at Jiao Liyan with an inquiring gaze.

"I just checked two corpses, they are dark-skinned, and most of the Xianbei people are fair-skinned, so they don't look like Xianbei people......"

"Ahh Lin Qiao'er suddenly exclaimed.

Liu Ziqiu frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Lin Qiao'er hurriedly said: "The slave family wants to ...... again"

Liu Ziqiu didn't speak, but waved his hand. Lin Qiao'er blushed and walked towards a dead grass. At this time, another eagle flew in the sky. Ji Rentai finally seized the opportunity and bent his bow shè. The eagle suddenly turned around and flew back, and Ji Rentai's arrow missed.

After resting for a while, Liu Ziqiu regained some strength slightly, and then he beckoned to the corner and explained a few words in his ear. Jiaoli Yan whistled and led five hundred cavalry to the south, but left five hundred cavalry for Liu Ziqiu and them.

With the escort of these five hundred cavalry, safety is guaranteed, naturally there is no need to go so fast, the anger on Liu Ziqiu's face gradually improved, but Lin Qiaoer was obviously a little anxious, and she was restless on the horse.

Liu Ziqiu glanced at Lin Qiao'er, suddenly waved his hand, and said, "Go south!" ”

Their team had been going north just now, and now it had turned south, and it was the way back. Lin Qiao'er was shocked, and asked repeatedly: "King, you made a mistake." ”

The speed of the march slowed down, Liu Ziqiu's physical exertion was not large, and he seemed to talk more, and patiently explained: "If we don't go fast, the enemy will catch up in a blink of an eye." We go around like this just to confuse them. ”

Lin Qiao'er seemed to understand "hmm", her face was red and white for a while, and she snorted: "The king, the slave, the slave family is ...... again"

Liu Ziqiu nodded, did not speak, and watched Lin Qiao'er disappear behind a snowdrift. Along the way, Liu Ziqiu constantly changed the direction of the march, and Lin Qiaoer's request for convenience also increased. By the fifth time, Lin Qiaoer herself felt that something was wrong. She left the team and walked a few steps, suddenly turned back, and knelt on Liu Ziqiu's horse's head with a "plop".

"Mother, mother......" Jin Xiaohu didn't know what was going on, and ran over crying, wanting to pull Lin Qiao'er up.

Liu Ziqiu pulled the war horse, and the horse "the" took two steps back, and the two front hooves were digging on the ground. The cold wind was squealing, the snowflakes were splashing, Liu Ziqiu was silent, but his face was as cold as the surface of the West Sea Lake.

Lin Qiao'er suddenly became ruthless, pushed Jin Xiaohu away, knocked his head hard, fell to the ground, and said, "King, slave, the slave family is sorry for you!" ”

didn't hear Liu Ziqiu's answer, Lin Qiaoer quietly raised her head, only to see Liu Ziqiu looking up at the sky. In the sky, a great eagle soared with its wings, circled for a week, and flew westward. On the side, Ji Rentai was hanging down the longbow in his hand.

The eagle looked so familiar that it seemed to follow them all the way. And every time Ji Rentai wanted to shè the carving, the carving seemed to be able to detect it in advance and slip away in time, as if he was playing hide and seek with them, which made Ji Rentai anxious.
