Chapter 4: The Valley Ambushes

On the smooth official road, dusty, a train came in a row, and the first two knights were well-armored and well-equipped. In addition to the long blades of horses hanging on the side of the shoulder armor, the body is also equipped with all kinds of short infantry blades, and the crossbow in the bow bag has been wound. Looking at the appearance and equipment of the army, even the elite soldiers on the border are not far behind.

The older knight lightly lifted the reins of his horse, pointed to the mountain in front of him and said: "Xiaohai, be smart, turn over the mountain beam in front, it is the county seat of Tongyi, stay in the city tonight, and sleep well." ”

The young knight touched his sweaty brow and coughed up a mouthful of thick phlegm, "Dog's day, this autumn tiger, it's time to catch up with the dog days." This body is heavier than my bones, and I am in a hurry day and night, and I know that I have gone to mess around, and I am still in a hurry like a march. Brother Jiu, this master, can really toss。。。。。。 ”

A sharp sound of breaking the sky sounded, and without warning, the old knight's throat had an extra hole, and a rain of blood exploded, spraying Xiao Hai's face, the picture seemed to be frozen at this moment, Xiao Hai's eyes were about to split, and while reaching out to hold the ninth brother who was leaning down, he roared angrily: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The convoy was not in a mess at the moment of the attack, four cavalry squads were scattered around the two carriages in the center, and the next moment, the heavy cavalry had surrounded the carriages, the light cavalry fanned out on both sides, and the knights had poured a rain of arrows in the direction of the arrows. In the past, the world-famous Blue Flag Ghost Cavalry has not aged with the passage of half a century, even if it is a random patchwork of the escort team, it also shows the style of the Wu family's generals to govern the family and the army.

Wu Yi stared at the arrows that entered through the window in a daze, nailed to the back of the carriage, and the tail feathers trembled endlessly, muttering to himself: "I knew that this boy brother was not so good!"

In the face of sudden changes, he did not change everywhere without being surprised, but he did not interfere with the enemy's strategy and commanded indiscriminately. Wu Xiaopeng, the captain of the guard, is an adjutant recommended by the second brother, and this official is the major division of the mighty army.

Wu Shaosi had a black face, broad shoulders and long legs, a typical image of a Northeast military man, and suddenly became angry, he rudely reached out and poked in from the window, determined the life and death of the young master of the Wu family, and then issued instructions one after another in an orderly manner, and in a short period of time, he formed a hedgehog-type squad defensive formation, which can be described as decent.

"Bring it to me, and I will stand side by side with you against the enemy. Wu Yi issued the first command since the departure in a hoarse voice after being frightened, Wu Xiaopeng looked at the car in amazement, Wu Yi's eyes were opposite and unwavering. In fact, under this kind of chaos, the carriage in the middle of the team seems to be the safest, but it is actually the most dangerous.

When Gaozu was patrolling the border, he was hit by the assassin Bo Lang, and the Bo Lang vertebrae, which was as thick as a pillar of the city gate, smashed the carriage accompanying the patrol, and the current carriage was not an armored car, and a strong bow of more than five stones could theoretically shoot through the wall of the carriage, Wu Yi did not want to stay in the carriage as a live target.

Knowing the current situation of relying on horses in this era, the traffic is basically dependent on horses, and in the half month since departure, he has practiced riding day and night, although he is not as good as the old soldiers in the army, but he can still be regarded as advancing and retreating freely, and the homemade cotton bandage tied on the inner thigh is still oozing blood today.

Wu Xiaopeng actually knew that Wu Yi's choice was undoubtedly the safest, because it was undoubtedly less dangerous to be mixed among the horsemen than to stay in the carriage. However, with his status as a retainer of the Wu family, it is not easy to trap the lord in danger, and he is not sure whether this young master dares to face the thief directly, and it is best for Wu Yi to propose it himself. Wu Yi, who was dressed in armor, was among the guards and sergeants, and he looked similar.

Xiao Hai's emotions have calmed down from the horror, as the scout of the team, Taniguchi has patrolled back and forth three times in front of him, but he has not found a trace of abnormality. He was convinced that the enemy was no ordinary bandit, and that his ability to conceal and surprise was like that of a strong force in the army. But he was not afraid, witnessing the tragic death of the ninth brother, his grief and indignation turned into endless anger and crazy war intent against the attacking enemy!

Inadvertently seeing the pale face of the young master of the Wu family and the clanging of the armor leaves under the full coat, Wu Hai felt a sadness in his heart, and admired the name of this waste young master for a long time, which really insulted the family style of the Hou Ye Jiangmen family. Dying for him today, although it is not worth it, it can be regarded as fulfilling the duty of the Wu family's soldiers.

The thunderous sound of horses' hooves appeared in the rear of the convoy, smoke and dust rose everywhere, and a cavalry in the rear began to charge in formation, and it was the cavalry that the enemy was ambushing, no less than fifty horsemen, and the military strength of the escort was slightly superior.

Between the lightning and flint, Wu Xiaopeng had already made a decision, he resolutely waved his hand, the heavy armor was behind, and the whole team of more than 30 horsemen rode in a column every three horses, breaking through towards the narrow valley mouth. As a soldier who aspires to become a famous general, he can't fight with the enemy with the courage of blood and blood, and rushes out of the valley, and Tongyi City is already in sight. Even if most of his comrades fell under the dark arrow, as long as the young master was safe and sound, the encounter was won.

The heavy armor made it a little difficult for Wu Yi to breathe, and the whistling of arrows kept passing in his ears, occasionally mixed with the muffled snort of the sergeant of the arrow, and the high ground on both sides of the canyon occasionally fell from rolling logs, the number was not dense, and the longitudinal horses could easily avoid it. With an exclamation, a rolling log as thick as an arm span fell from the cliff in front of him, and in the blink of an eye, it had fallen above the breakthrough team, and it was about to hit the row of sergeants where Wu Yi was.

The one on the left is Xiao Hai, if he jumps away from the horse, Wu Yi who is sandwiched in the middle will inevitably become a ball of pulp, and in a moment, he only has time to pull out the riding spear hanging on the horse's back, and exert all his strength to poke at the top of the rolling wood, and with a sound of the horn, the well-made riding gun will break inch by inch.

The little sea tiger's mouth cracked, the blood gushed out, and the rolling wood just changed its direction slightly, the oblique pressure will come down, the little sea tiger roared, the horse flew to the rolling wood, Peng's explosion, the armor on Xiao Hai's body was instantly pulled into a twisted shape by the huge force, and the horse under the crotch neighed, bleeding from the mouth and nose, and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, the momentum of the giant tree's fall finally slowed down, and the horse was moving quickly, and Wu Yi and the sergeant on the right had already swept by. The rolling logs had fallen to the ground, and Xiao Hai lay on his side, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, and the rain of arrows pouring down from the high ground on both sides had not slowed down.

In a hurry, the cavalry team, under the leadership of Wu Xiaopeng, everyone slammed the belly of the horse and tried their best to charge towards the valley mouth.

"Herod" neighed as soon as the horse neighed, and under the attention of everyone, the third young master Wu Yile turned around and stood up with the male colt under his crotch. The guards around him grabbed the air, the third young master had already turned over and dismounted, and his ears kept passing through the whistling of the stray arrows, he stumbled to Wu Hai's side who fell to the ground, and fortunately reached out to probe Xiao Hai's snort and confirm his life and death. The soldiers shouted anxiously, and Wu Xiaopeng was also so angry that he was so anxious that he was burning inside.
