As soon as I learned how to ride a horse, I had to walk half a bucket of water and walk at night, which is like a novice getting a driver's license and driving on the highway. Although Lin Yi and the soldiers of the Gu family army had instructed many times, and the methods of turning the direction, controlling the reins, and dealing with accidents were still in their ears, sitting on the back of a high horse, the hearts of the four people were only left with the fear of whether they would fall.

There were two horses in total, one for me and Achu, and one for Sun Zhongjing and Xin Yi. Achu held the reins tightly in his hands, and his back was soaked with sweat. I cautiously looked down: "Are we walking too slowly, feeling like we can walk faster than riding a horse?" ”

"It's still very up-and-down." Xin Yi was a little dizzy.

Xin Yi, who was in the barracks of the rear army, barely spoke, but always assisted Lin Yi when I was treating Lin Yi's legs. What is intriguing is that when we led the horse out of the camp, Lin Yi came out to send it, but Xin Yi suddenly asked: "General Lin, my brother Lin Qian, are you still in the big victory?" ”

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, and replied, "Yes, but I don't know what the situation is now?" ”

Xin Yi ignored the helping hand of the soldier next to him, and climbed onto the horse with great difficulty: "Thank you for telling me, General." ”

She turned her head to look at Lin Yi, her black eyes were full of complicated emotions: "My surname is Gu." ”

It's a pity that we hurriedly walked in front and didn't see Lin Yi's expression.

We took another difficult shortcut, we could cross the city near Datong Pass, and within two or three days, we could reach the city of Dingyan in Dasheng Pass, which was the place with the most patients in the military report that Lin Yi received recently.

However, this road is full of dead trees and rattans and craggy rocks, and the art of war has a saying that Lin Mo enters, and there is no army in it, and it is not even easy to set up an ambush, except for us who are in such a hurry, I am afraid that no one will want to go.

The night wind weaved through the staggered branches, making a sound similar to the howl of a wild beast, and thanks to the well-trained horses, they were able to walk like this.

Sun Zhongjing was also afraid, but the map was in his hand, he could only explore the way in front of him by the faint moonlight, and kept talking to alleviate his fear: "Seriously, if it weren't for that Cao Xuan's acting too cowardly, I doubt that he is a traitor, and he will treat us as liars." ”

Xin Yi said: "How can a traitor be so stupid and blatant? Of course, if he is a top master of acting, it is unknown. ”

Achu also participated: "Actually, I'm more curious about who drugged General Lin Yi?" ”

Sun Zhongjing snapped his fingers: "I saw his reaction at the time, I'm afraid I suspect the doctor who helped him treat him or the wife who took care of him." ”

"This is subconscious, after all, his state at that time, the easiest person to start with must be the person who heals and takes care of it." I said, "He certainly won't say anything publicly, after all, it's really inappropriate to suspect that the savior and the wife are trying to harm him." ”

"Maybe we have to help General Lin find out the truth this time, after all, he lent us a horse." Achu said.

I smiled: "I have to check it, after all, it's not good to be known by someone with a heart to sow discord." ”

Sun Zhongjingqi said: "Although it is not good to suspect others at will, but behind the Gu Zhangshi is the Gu family of the imperial physician, and behind his wife there is also the Gu family, if there is a family involved......

"The imperial doctor is involved with the royal family, and he has this kind of secret hand against the soldiers who are fighting for the country, and he has not damaged the royal name when he turns it out." I explained: "As for the Gu family, according to what you gossiped with us before, after the First Battle of Wuhui Valley five years ago, the ancestor Gu Chenyuan died in battle, and the British Duke Gu Ye was also seriously injured, and the other Gu family children, the eldest Gu Chenxiao has not yet tied his hair and wore a crown, and when he was worried about internal and external troubles, he still had the intention of harming his own uncle, and a fool couldn't do this, right?" ”

Ah Chu, Xin Yi and Sun Zhongjing couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.

By the dawn of the next day, the labyrinthine forest of dead trees was finally coming to an end. For nearly fifteen hours of eating dry food and resting on horseback, everyone felt that their legs were no longer their own. And when the four of them were so sleepy that they were about to fall off their horses, they didn't get lost, which was simply God's favor.

Achu's spirit of martial arts is better than ours, and as the sky is getting brighter, she rubbed her eyes and subconsciously looked forward.

This look frightened her a lot: "There are so many people outside the forest!" ”

"People?" I woke up instantly.

In such an inaccessible place, there are suddenly "many people", how can it not make people afraid, I looked at it again, and cold sweat had crawled all over my body.

It's the Beijon Tartar. And it was a team of about twenty people, and at this time they were napping in the open space not far away.

Although I had been mentally prepared for the encounter with the Tartars, I was still riding a horse in a state of hunger one second, and half a foot on the battlefield the next second, and I couldn't tell which emotions were more than fear or helplessness.

Sun Zhongjing and Xin Yi, who were walking in front, also stopped, and the four of them held their breath, lest the horse under them suddenly neighed and alarmed the tartars. Sun Zhongjing didn't scream out in fright this time - he was really too scared to say a word.

Theoretically, regardless of the tactical formation factor, under normal circumstances, a strong and strong ordinary soldier can fight against an ordinary enemy army, a skilled and experienced elite soldier can fight against two or three enemy troops, and a general with troops can deal with five to seven at the same time, which is already good, and if the riding skills are excellent, it can be more. And now, only one of the four people who have no combat experience and are not good at riding horses, and it takes one person to deal with five Tartars who are accustomed to fighting at the same time, which is about equivalent to collective suicide.

Achu took out the wrapped sword again, and the strip of cloth was wrapped around her right arm. She wished that this was a rare divine weapon, but the rust and gaps on the sword became extremely conspicuous at this time.

I also reacted, and tried my best to touch the ecstasy and awakening medicine in the medicine box with the lightest movement, and found the veil sewn into the special medicine, and the subtle sound of the medicine bottle because of the collision was like a thousand thunderbolts rolling by at this juncture.

Calm down! Calm down! There won't be a sudden surge of divine soldiers descending from the sky to destroy the Tartars like in the TV series, we can only save ourselves!

After distributing the medicine and the veil to the people, I tied the sword that I had been holding in my sleeve a little more securely. At this time, I really wish I could communicate directly with telepathy without making a sound: "After taking the medicine, the veil is not allowed to be taken off." ”

After everyone was "armed", I said in the softest voice they could hear: "I have enough medicine here, but they are too scattered, and when we quickly ride through and alarm them, I will shoot the medicine bag with a sleeve arrow, a total of four arrows, how many can be put down, Ah Chu will open the way in front, Sun Zhongjing, you and Xin Yi follow." ”

Achuti Sword made a look of waiting to be attacked: "I have just seen it, they do not have bows and crossbows on their faces, they are all swords used for close melee combat, but there is no way to predict whether there are hidden weapons, and I can't tell the types of troops." But I'm desperate to make sure at least one of you escapes. ”

A hint of determination flashed on Xin Yi's face: "Whoever is lagging behind or seriously injured can't turn back to save them, if you find that you can't go, stay and drag them immediately!" ”

Sun Zhongjing said: "An Chu just needs to use the fastest speed to hit the horse forward, Bing Ran and Xin Yi can't fall down no matter how they hold on, otherwise they will definitely die." ”

The four of them looked at each other and nodded, and their faces invariably showed a rare look of determination. Gags all the way, funny and funny to get here, soon after acquaintance, they encounter a life-and-death situation that puts their lives in the hands of each other, which is also rare in the world.

"One, two, three, rush!"

Achu and Sun Zhongjing each whipped their respective horses, and kicked them in the belly, and the two war horses neighed in the sky and rushed out one after the other.

It was the first time I had been so fast, and I just felt a force pulling me frantically down the horse, and I struggled to maintain my balance. Due to the bumps and the fact that we didn't have any riding skills to speak of, the inside of our legs was also painful.

The Beirong soldiers were naturally familiar with the sound of the war horses, and they woke up one after another, but it was two war horses rushing straight over.

They were originally a squad that was scattered in the melee, and they really didn't want to go back to the battlefield, but they were not familiar with the terrain, so they ran to the side of the "enemy country" by mistake without knowing it. The more daring ones noticed that it was not a Chinese general or soldier who was on the horse, but four men and women wearing veils, and they were not wearing even a piece of armor.

They had never seen this scene before, and they were both shocked and suspicious, but their combat instinct still made them take their blades and shout and kill and attack.

I was the first to bear the brunt of the attack with Achu's horse. At this time, the blood stains on the scimitar spear in the Tartar's hand were clearly visible, Achu tried to stabilize his body, the long sword swept, and the surrounding Tartar was forced to retreat several steps, and then the sword blade turned and picked up, and the spear in the hand of the nearest Tartar fell to the ground, and his legs hit the horse forward, and two slower ones were knocked away. I saw that the Tartar Achu on the side was too late to deal with it, so I immediately shot an arrow, and the powder packet touched people and scattered, so I was fascinated by a few more.

Sun Zhongjing took Xin Yi to dodge and rush, and also knocked down two Tartars who didn't react. It was no longer possible for the rest of the people to come together, so Achu took the opportunity to knock over a tartar blocking the road with another sword, which was barely open a road.

When the horse runs a certain distance, the sword of melee combat is useless. I saw that Sun Zhongjing's horses also rushed out of the Tartar encirclement, hurriedly let them go to the front, and shot the remaining three packets of medicinal powder at the pursuing Tartars.

Suddenly feeling a strong wind behind him, Achu was the first to feel that something was wrong, and yelled "lie down", and the four of them subconsciously lay on the horse's back.

"Whew!" It was the sound of a sharp weapon piercing into the flesh.

The smell of blood in the air gradually thickened, and the sound of blood dripping was very clear in the shouts of killing and the sound of horses' hooves.
