2. Lonely and heroic

Human cavalry! Liu Meng was instantly surprised, and was about to stand up and cheer to attract the attention of the cavalry, when the horse that was running to the front suddenly turned around, jumped over the stream, and sped on the edge of the water, thinking that it was about to enter the mountains and forests to the north.

What's going on? The knight was dressed in a plush gray leather jacket, and he was hunched down and galloped wildly, clearly fleeing for his life, and a black figure was held in front of the saddle. In the blink of an eye, the horse in front had already rushed in front of Liu Meng, frightening the herd of deer gathered by the stream to drink water, running in all directions, but effectively blocking the sight of the pursuers behind.

Liu Meng's eyes were sharp, and at this glance, he could already see that the horsemane had a mane on the exposed head, and it was not the bald head or braided of the horse people. It's the Han people of the Central Plains! The Han compatriots who are on the run, and the pursuers behind them who shout wolf howls and shoot with bows from time to time, it is needless to say that they must be the cavalry of the nomadic tribe!

In an instant, Liu Meng made an estimate of the group of pursuers behind him, and the team of less than twenty people carried nearly forty war horses. One person and two horses, and only the cavalry on the steppe are so extravagant, and they are war horses with uniform armor and the same coat color, so a decent tribe can make these things up, right? Dispatching such elite soldiers to chase after him, the hatred value of the person fleeing for his life should be very large.

If that's the case, you might as well save it!

Liu Mengyi was bold, and when he untied the quiver tied to his waist, he placed it in the most convenient place, and then opened his bow and arrows, quietly aiming at the cavalry who was following him, and waited until the first cavalryman just turned into the stream, and took advantage of the slowdown of the war horse for a moment, and shot the man on the horse with an arrow.

The stream was only seventy meters from the grass where Liu Meng was, and it happened to be within the most sure range of a hit. Coupled with the necessary slowdown when the war horse turned and entered the stream, Liu Meng held his breath, and in this way, he half-knelt and fired six arrows in succession, shooting all six unsuspecting yellow-armored knights off the horse. But the cavalry behind had already noticed a sneak attack, and with a whistle, they split up and rushed into the grass with five horses.

Shooting head-on, Liu Meng was not bad, the old god continued to bend the bow and shoot arrows, and the two of them fell off their horses in response to the sound of the strings. At this time, the other party began to counterattack, and on the back of a high-speed galloping horse, he opened his bow and shot casually, and the arrow flew straight to Liu Meng, who only exposed his upper body.

Subconsciously raised the iron tire bow, knocked down the flying arrows one by one, and saw that the enemy was approaching, Liu Meng immediately abandoned the bow, pulled out the long sword with his backhand, and his body flashed a few times, and he stabbed it to death with a sword. Then he shrank back to dodge the scimitar slash that followed, kicked the opponent off his horse with a snap, and at the same time raised his body vertically, and with a flick of his left hand, an iron snake cone instantly nailed to the head of the last cavalryman.

The five cavalrymen who rushed over were cleaned up by Liu Meng almost as soon as they saw each other. Seeing this scene, a big man who looked like a leader screamed a few times, pointed at Liu Meng with a mace in his hand, and the remaining six or seven cavalrymen screamed together, turned their horses' heads and rushed towards them.

Before the man arrives, the arrow arrives first. This group of cavalry has unparalleled riding and archery skills, even in a state of high-speed rushing, they are all arrows. For a while, Liu Meng had no choice but to hide behind a war horse, and used internal force to restrain the war horse from moving, until it neighed to death after being hit by dozens of arrows.

Perhaps because of Liu Meng's melee ability, the leader commanded several cavalry to just beat horses and go around in circles, and did not come forward to fight, and when Liu Meng showed his head slightly, he was covered by a rain of accurate arrows, which made him extremely depressed, but there was nothing else he could do.

At this time, the gray-clothed man who had been running for his life just now saw the pursuers behind him stop, as if someone was ambushing them, so he boldly turned his horse back. When I ran over to see that most of the pursuers who had been chasing for two days and nights were ambushed, I couldn't help screaming with joy, pointing at a few people who were beating horses and cursing in circles, intending to lure two people over and reduce the pressure on the people in the circle.

The yellow-armored cavalry are all arrogant people, how can they endure the insults of their defeated generals, the leader shouted at the moment, and divided the three horsemen to chase and kill the gray-clothed man again.

Dividing the troops again, Liu Meng's pressure suddenly decreased, and there were only three arrows at a time, which was not a problem at all. Immediately, a dodge, out of the gods, the body flashed left and right, easily dodged the arrows, approached the leader holding the mace, did not wait for his horse to shout angrily, the left hand shook, the other party immediately planted the horse.

With a light skill, coupled with an iron snake cone that was absolutely free within twenty meters, Liu Meng quickly killed the few cavalrymen who were left behind. And the gray-clothed man who led the three pursuers around the circle also easily turned around and killed them one by one, and then beat his horse and ran towards Liu Meng's side.

Hurry up and clean up the battlefield, after all, if you lose one iron snake cone, you will lose one, and there is no way to replenish it at all, Liu Meng doesn't want to waste this convenient hidden weapon. After making a big circle with the goose marching skill, he recovered all the six iron snake cones that shot out, and at this time, the gray-clothed man also rode his horse and ran closer.

Carrying a long sword on his shoulder, he knew at a glance that he was a person from the Central Plains. At that moment, the gray-clothed man clasped his hands into fists and thanked loudly: "Thank you to the hero for saving me, and dare to ask the hero's surname, so that he can always remember it after he escapes from death." "This gray-clothed man has a beard, sitting on a horse is not necessarily, standing on the ground, his figure is extremely burly, with sword eyebrows and eagle eyes, indescribable heroism.

Liu Meng also clasped his fists with both hands and excused himself: "Your Excellency is also a Han from the Central Plains, how can you not save yourself when you encounter death?" As for the brother's name, it is really not enough to worry about. "This is the first person I have met in half a year, and I have to deal with it politely, and it is always right to learn the etiquette of the other party before I figure out which dynasty it is now.

Seeing that the other party was young, kind and courteous, and his words were in an authentic Central Plains accent, he was all wary at the moment, and said with a smile: "In Xia Luo Huchen, it is not worth fate to meet compatriots in the depths of this desert north." ”

Seeing that Luo Huchen was cheerful and uninhibited, Liu Meng was kind, so he reported his name and surname, and the excuse was to go to the depths of the grassland with his friends to collect elixir, but he got lost in the heavy snow, got lost and separated from his friends, and had been wandering in the nearby mountains for more than a month, and was worried about how to leave the grassland and go home.

After talking a few words, I was afraid that there would be pursuers behind him, Luo Huchen proposed to leave this place first, find a hidden place to hide, and leave Mobei before thinking of going south. Liu Meng couldn't find a way out, so of course he agreed. So the two of them each led two war horses to replace, and under the leadership of Liu Meng, they spent half a day bypassing the mountain in front of them, stopping in a dense forest valley, and entering the cave where they had rested for the past few days.

Luo Huchen said that he was a member of the Qingyun faction, and he was carrying his junior brother in front of the saddle, and he was seriously injured by the Mongolian cavalry, and he had been in a coma for several days, and he was jolting on the back of the galloping horse, and now the wound in the lower abdomen was cracked, red and swollen, and the high fever did not go away in the morning and evening, which was very dangerous.

This kind of wound, Liu Meng knew at first sight that it was left after being shot by a sharp arrow, perhaps due to the limited means, although the arrow shaft was pulled out, but the wound was only treated simply, and it can still last until now, this is called Ding Qi's young man's physique and luck are quite good.

asked Luo Huchen, and sure enough, it was an arrow wound, and it was a heavy arrow with a three-edged bone awl. Luo Huchen said with a gloomy expression: "I didn't expect the cowardly Xue Jun to be so powerful, Senior Brother Ding had already run two hundred steps, but he was still shot by an arrow, and he didn't even have a chance to dodge." ”

"Cowardly Xue Jun?" Liu Meng was surprised and asked, "You mean the personal guard of the Mongol Great Khan?" How did you get into trouble with these wolves? "The cowardly Xue army is the elite of the army established by Genghis Khan, each of whom is a warrior who has been selected by thousands of people, and among the Mongolian armies, the status is the highest and the most powerful in combat effectiveness, and the status of any one is comparable to a thousand households.

Since Ding Qi was shot and wounded by them, then the pursuer he met in the morning was the cowardly Xue Jun? What did these two people do to provoke the pro-army who was only responsible for guarding the Mongol Great Khan to pursue them for thousands of miles?

Faced with his benefactor's question, Luo Huchen smiled bitterly, opened his mouth, and finally made up his mind to confess: "We may have killed a Mongolian prince." ”

ran to the depths of the Mobei grassland and killed a Mongolian prince, and then provoked the cowardly Xue army to chase and kill. What a strong explanation. Liu Meng was stunned for a moment, and only came back to his senses after half a sound, stretched out his thumb and admired: "What a man!" Brother, my admiration for you is like a continuous river! ”

There are no antibiotics in this era, and the wound medicine on Luo Huchen's body has been exhausted, if it weren't for the famous Jianghu miracle medicine Xiao Huandan, Ding Qi would have already stepped into the ghost gate.

The Xu Ji Jin medicine purchased at a high price in the capital of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was carefully made by the Xu family pharmacy, and it had the most miraculous effect on knife wounds and abscesses. Admiring that the other party is a man, Liu Meng took it out without hesitation, and instructed Luo Huchen to make a cremation to boil the snow water, add salt to light salt water, carefully clean the wound, and then sprinkle the golden medicine and wrap it.

Ding Qi's injury was extremely serious, and he was afraid that the inflammation would not go down just because of the external application of Jinchuang medicine, so Liu Meng immediately poured out another snow ginseng jade toad pill and handed it to Luo Huchen. The latter hesitated, and after hearing that it was a healing elixir, he immediately crushed it and fed it to Ding Qi.

Snow ginseng jade toad pill is made by Hong Antong himself, and it is extremely valuable medicinal materials, and he is the best at regulating injuries. So in the early morning of the second day, Ding Qi's high fever gradually subsided, and he finally woke up.

After feeding a few mouthfuls of broth, and when he recovered a little, Ding Qi's first words after waking up startled Liu Meng. "Damn! Lao Tzu is not dead yet! Luo Huchen next to him looked extremely embarrassed, and hurriedly diverted his words, stretched out his hand to check his pulse, and visited his physical condition.

Ding Qi's body was still very weak, lying there and hearing that he was saved by the handsome young man in front of him, as if he was stunned in disbelief for a while, he raised his hand and signaled, and said in a low voice: "I don't thank you for my great kindness, and I will repay it in the future." ”

After a few words, Liu Meng saw that this Ding Qi was extremely wary of himself, and Luo Huchen also seemed to have something to say to the other party, it would be uninteresting for him to stay here any longer, so he found an excuse at the moment, and went out of the hole with a bow and arrow to hunt a pheasant and come back to make soup.
