A sharp sound of breaking the air came from behind, and Zhang Tao swooped down on his horse, and a wolf's tooth arrow grazed his back, taking away a large piece of his flesh and blood. He gripped the reins tightly, grunted, and clenched his teeth. The black horse under his crotch screamed miserably, but it turned out to be another arrow in the hip.

Zhang Tao's lips trembled, almost crying, this dark horse has been dependent on him since his debut, and has experienced countless ups and downs together, and has a deep friendship. Since the death of his eldest brother Zhang Fang, he has regarded him as his own brother, and at this moment, he saw him injured by arrows one after another, and his heart hurt like a knife.

At this moment, he regretted that he should not have been dazzled by the rhetoric and generous remuneration of Hou Junji, the squire of the military department. After walking in the rivers and lakes for so many years, with his horse control skills and amazing secret weapon kung fu, he has been in danger. He originally thought that this time he had infiltrated the Turkic camp and had no different adventures in the rivers and lakes than usual, except that there were a little more people.

Who knew that the Turkic archery was so powerful that all the secret weapons experts he encountered turned into a boring trick for the children in the market. And his horse control skills are not very outstanding compared to those who grow on horses. And the ferocious slashing skills of those Turkic scouts were even more beyond their reach. Zhang Tao already clearly understood at this time that if it fell into their hands, he would not be able to survive a cup of tea. He couldn't believe that Hengzhou City could rely on less than 10,000 soldiers and horses to defend the city and confront the hundreds of thousands of wolf-like Turkic troops.

The piercing bowstring sound sounded from behind again, Zhang Tao only felt a tightness on his shoulders, and a sharp pain hit his whole body in an instant, his whole body was weak, and his whole body was spread on the back of the black horse. In a trance, he suddenly heard a terrible neighing of the black horse, and then he felt the horse under him lean over, and threw him off the horse, and the black horse, which was dependent on him, ran three steps and fell to the ground. It was only then that he saw a carved arrow stuck deep in the hind leg of his beloved mount.

"Blackie!" Zhang Tao screamed sadly, suddenly pulled out the long knife beside him, got up from the ground, and roared: "Hu Gou, I fought with you." In front of him, more than 100 elite Turkic scouts rushed up to kill him.

At this critical juncture, a man in black leaped out of the bushes beside the road, and stood cross-legged at the head of the horse of the first two scouts, and the sword in his hand flashed. The two once-formidable scout captains were immediately beheaded, their bloody heads flying high into the air. The Turkic scouts burst into a boiling cry, and they all raised their sabers and slaughtered the man in black.

Zhang Tao watched in amazement as the black-clothed warrior leapt into the air, stretched out his legs and swept across, kicking the other two Turkic scouts to the ground, and his body turned backwards, lightly touching the waists of the two war horses. The two horses screamed and fell sideways, blocking the middle of the road, and the cavalry behind couldn't restrain the horses, and suddenly dozens of horses collided together, and the situation was very embarrassing. At this time, the black-clothed man surged with his sword, killed several people in a row, turned his head and shouted, "Hurry up."

Zhang Tao replied blankly, and as soon as he turned around, he was surrounded by several Turkic scouts who had risen from the ground, and one of the sturdy warriors burst out with a shout, wielding a long-handled axe and slashing towards his face. He glanced at the man in black anxiously, and saw that the man was surrounded and killed by several Turkic scout masters. He yelled badly, and scrambled to slash the Turkic warrior head-on with his axe, as several other scouts began to approach him.

"Stab him in the left side!" The man in black who was fighting burst into a shout, Zhang Tao seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and without thinking about it, he stabbed the left rib of the man with the axe. The samurai made a long and heavy weapon, and his tricks were ineffective, and he was stabbed by Zhang Tao with a knife, and he threw away the big axe and grabbed Zhang Tao's long knife with a miserable howl.

The long knife was Zhang Tao's only weapon, and without it, he would become a lamb to be slaughtered. Zhang Tao was in a hurry and shouted, "He grabbed my knife!"

The man in black had already shaved off the head of the eighteenth scout, and when he heard his shout, he shouted, "Give me the sword!" Zhang Tao had already taken his words as a holy decree, and immediately let go of his hands.

"Go around your back, lift it, and throw it!" The men in black did not stop for a moment, and at the beginning of the sword, three more scout corpses fell to the ground splattered with blood.

Zhang Tao was in a mess in his mind, and subconsciously turned behind the big man, and with a strain of his arms, he lifted the huge body of the big man high and threw it towards the several scouts who pounced on him like wolves. The samurai were unable to dodge, and were knocked down by the behemoth that flew sideways, and fell into a heap of hands and feet. Zhang Tao's body was light, he breathed a long sigh of relief, picked up a saber from the ground, roared, rushed forward, and stabbed the two scouts who didn't have time to get up, and split them into blood gourds. The scouts behind shouted and retreated.

Beside him, a Turkic scout staggered towards the Turkic ranks, and halfway through it, his body suddenly split in the middle and fell to either side of the road, blood and internal organs spilling all over the ground.

The shouting and killing of the audience stopped abruptly at this moment, and all the Turkic scouts looked behind Zhang Tao in amazement. Suddenly, a Turkic scout called out three words in Chinese: "Peng is hopeless!" All the soldiers present only shouted and turned their heads and ran, and no one dared to look back again.

The battlefield that had been killing the sky immediately fell into a tranquil silence. Zhang Tao only felt as if he had collapsed, sat down on the ground softly, his eyes were dark, and he fainted.

I don't know how long it took, Zhang Tao woke up from his slumber in a daze, just in time to see a face covered in blood and mud. "Ahh Zhang Tao screamed.

"Brother Zhang, are you awake?" The man in black smiled slightly, applied a handful of grass ash to the wound on Zhang Tao's shoulder, and then tied the wound firmly with the torn placket.

Zhang Tao was startled, his eyes widened, staring at the face of the man in black, and only after a while did he suddenly say, "My God, you are Peng Wuxia Peng."

Peng Wuwang sighed and said, "It's not me, why did you think of it."

"I, I, I'm not ......" Zhang Tao hurriedly defended, "Peng Daxia, your face is covered in blood, even my own father can't recognize it."

Peng Wuwang was stunned, and suddenly said, "That's right, you have to be in a hurry these days and forget to wash your face, no wonder you can't recognize it." He turned his head to find a small stream on the side of the road where the rain collected, picked up the water and simply smeared it on his face, washing away the dust and blood stains on his face.

"Peng Daxia, why are you here? Didn't you go to the Bohai Guard?" Zhang Tao came back to his senses and immediately began to show his true colors.

"It's a long story, tell me why you're here, right? This Shura killing field is not a place of nostalgia for the rivers and lakes." A stiff and cold smile appeared on Peng Wuhope's face.

Zhang Tao couldn't help but shudder when he saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but say, "Peng Daxia, your smile has changed a lot."

Peng Wuwang was slightly startled, couldn't help touching his cheeks, and said in a lost voice, "What happened?"

Zhang Tao shook his head and said, "I can't tell you clearly, when I was in Yishan, you couldn't say how amiable you were to me, but now your smile is cold and cold, and you are not angry."

Peng Wuwang sighed in disappointment, moved the muscles of his face vigorously, and said in a low voice, "Yes, I have also been aware of it recently. These days have been full of bloody battles, my face has been injured many times, the muscles on the left cheek have stiffened, and I can't move freely, and you say that my smile is stiff, maybe that's why, you can't see the way I used to be."

Although it was a few words, it outlined one magnificent and impassioned battle scene after another in front of Zhang Tao's eyes. Zhang Tao said excitedly, "Peng Daxia, you must have fought a bloody battle with the Turks in Hengzhou these days, right?"

Peng Wuwang sighed: "The benevolent and righteous people at the head of Hengzhou City, how can I Peng Wuhopeless be alone."

Zhang Tao became more and more excited, and asked eagerly, "Peng Daxia, tell me about your deeds of resisting the enemy in the past few days."

Peng Wuwang waved his hand and said, "Brother Zhang, you haven't told me what you're doing here?"

Zhang Tao hurriedly said, "Oh, brother, I have been entrusted by Lord Lang Hou of the Ministry of War, to bring a message to Hengzhou and hand it over to the Hengzhou guard."

Peng Wuwang nodded and said, "Now the lord of the Hengzhou city guard should be General Changsun Yue, and you should see him first after you enter the city." I also want to go back to Hengzhou, so we might as well go together."

Zhang Tao said excitedly: "Great, I was not sure about this task, but when I met Peng Daxia, I have full confidence this time."

Peng Wuwang exhaled and said, "I haven't eaten anything decent in the past few days, do you have dry food?"

Zhang Tao hurriedly said, "Yes, on Xiao Hei, by the way, Xiao Hei is okay?"

Peng Wuwang pointed to the grass not far away and said, "There, I bandaged the upper part of its leg, but judging by its injuries, it is no longer suitable for further fighting."

"It's okay, I'm going to get here and put him back and wait for me." Zhang Tao stood up with Peng Wuhope's support and walked towards the black horse.

In addition to the camel of a lot of delicious dry food, the black horse also has a strange large bag, which is bulging with a lot of things. Zhang Tao handed the bag of dry food to Peng Wuwang, and then carefully placed the large bag on the ground.

Peng Wuwang devoured the scallion oil flatbread in the dry food bag, and watched Zhang Tao take out the contents of the bag in the same way.

"I originally wanted to start disguised myself as the corpse of a Turkic who had died in battle when I approached Hengzhou, and then wait for the Hu people who carried the corpse to move me into the camp, and then wait for the opportunity to escape to Hengzhou. Who knew that he was so unlucky, but he encountered a scout detachment and was chased out for more than 100 miles until this place." Zhang Tao said as he placed two sets of Turkic armor and battle robes in front of Peng Wuwang, "I brought two sets of clothes for insurance, and one for each of us."

Then he took out a pile of strangely shaped swords and axes from the package. "It's an indispensable prop for us when we're pretending to be a dead body. Peng Daxia, what do you think?"

Peng Wuwang frowned, and picked up a strange-shaped long sword, this sword only had a sword head and a hilt connected to a three-inch sword body, and a semicircular soft iron ring with red and gray was installed between the sword head and the hilt. He fiddled with the sword in his hand, and couldn't figure out what it was for.

Zhang Tao proudly took the long sword from Peng Wuwang's hand, smiled and wrapped the soft iron ring on the sword around his waist, and said, "Peng Daxia, look, I don't look like I have been stabbed with a sword from front to back?"

Peng Wuwang frowned and saw that the hilt and head of the sword were deeply buried in Zhang Tao's body, and from three directions, it looked very much like he had been pierced by a sword, and the red and gray soft iron ring could not be seen at all from a distance, which could be said to be ingenious.

"Sure enough, it deserves to be a well-known wind medium." Peng Wuwang was amused.

"And more." Zhang Tao also clamped a strange-shaped long knife that was similar to the strange-shaped long sword on his body, and then clamped a big axe with an arc-shaped gap in the middle around his neck, and said with a smile, "Peng Daxia, do you think I died a tragic death?"

"It's a lot to see." Peng Wuwang couldn't help but laugh.

Zhang Tao was even more energetic, took out a few sheepskin bags from his pocket, and said, "In order to hide people's eyes and ears more, I am also deliberately using such a skin bag to contain more than a dozen catties of chicken blood and duck blood. I believe that the Hugou who moved my disguised corpse into the Turkic camp must have a nightmare and miserable, hahahaha."

Peng Wuwang couldn't hold back a smile, nodded, and said, "How many days has this blood been?"

Zhang Tao said: "Although I have been running for days, I have also delayed five or six days before I can go to Hengzhou."

Peng Wuwang smiled and said, "Then look at those duck blood and chicken blood."

Zhang Tao was stunned for a moment, picked up the leather bag casually, opened the lid, and poured it down hard, but found that there was a heavy sound in the bag, but nothing could be poured out.

Peng Wuwang smiled and said, "You shouldn't have eaten chicken blood tofu if you haven't cooked, the blood has already formed a lump after so many days, where is it useful."

"Really?" Zhang Tao smiled dumbly, "How can I compare to Peng Daxia's proficiency in cooking, fortunately, there are ready-made blood sacs everywhere here, otherwise it would be worse."

At this point, both of them laughed at the same time, feeling relaxed.

Zhang Tao laughed for a while, suddenly stiffened, and said, "However, if you want Peng Daxia to pretend to be a dead corpse with me, won't you lose Peng Daxia's fame?"

Peng Wuwang smiled slightly, and said, "Could it be that you watched me kill from the head of the 150,000 Hu soldiers and horses to the end of the camp, and you felt at ease?"

The night wind whined outside the city of Hengzhou, and the dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed into the distance with the breeze, and a bright moon rose from the clouds, illuminating the Turkic camp in the north of the city into a silver-gray color.

In the handsome tent where the lone lamp hung high, Princess Splendid sat firmly on the handsome chair, listening carefully to Puaman's brief and concise statement. After a long time, she nodded slightly and said, "That's it?"

Although Pu Aman was bold and fearless, he still couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart when he heard the princess's unfathomable and faint tone.

"Pu Aman, according to what you said, hundreds of your most elite masters, plus the Flame Sect members who have been trained by the Purple Master for many years, were actually toyed with by one person and one horse, and in the end, even the Prince of Mantuo was lost?" Princess Splendid asked in a deep voice.

"Exactly." Pua straightened his chest and said frankly.

Princess Splendid pondered for a long time, shook her head slightly, and said, "It's okay, you go down, and when you raise the tent later, you will serve at my table."

"Yes." Pu Aman didn't expect that Princess Jinxiu didn't blame him, and in surprise, he bowed down and said. When he just turned around and was about to leave, Princess Jinxiu suddenly said casually: "Aman, Peng Wuwang is a hero of the Tang Dynasty, you are a hero of the desert, but this time, you have been compared, go back and think about it."

This sentence was like a hot whip, slammed on Pu Aman's face, and he trembled violently, and indignant resentment arose spontaneously from the bottom of his heart. He snorted coldly and glanced at Hengzhou City, which stood majestically across the door, and a trace of absolute color flashed in his eyes.

Luo Puhan entered the tent after Pua Man, and reported in detail to Princess Jinxiu, the commander who took over from Mantuo to command the troops, the details of the attack on the Turkic camp.

"Our army lost more than 4,100 dead and 5,000 wounded, and the more than 2,000 Hebei cavalry were all killed." Luo Puhan made the final statistics in a deep voice.

"Oh? All killed, and no one escaped?" Princess Splendid asked softly.

"Yes, all the warriors fought to the death, and no one retreated." Luo Puhan recalled the majestic posture of the white-clothed warriors in Hebei that day, and his heart still couldn't help but feel cold.

"You step back first, give the order, and immediately raise the account." Princess Splendid said decisively.

When Luo Puhan left the tent, a low horn sounded outside the tent on all sides. Princess Splendid seized this rare moment of solitude, gently took off the green scarf on her face, slowly leaned on the back of the handsome chair, and thought faintly: "Hopeless has really come here according to the agreement, then there must be an end between us." Thinking of this, Princess Jinxiu's face was relaxed and serene, and she quietly closed her eyes, waiting for the arrival of the generals in the army.

"Generals, from today onwards, I will lead the three armies in place of Prince Mantuo, please join me in breaking the enemy army." When everyone gathered, Princess Splendid said solemnly.

The Uighur prince first grinned and replied, "The princess is in command of the whole army, I have no objection, please give the order quickly, I can't wait to rush to the head of Hengzhou."

The Khitan leader Abaojia asked, "I wonder where the prince of Mantuo is now?"

Princess Splendid pondered for a moment and said, "Prince Mantuo was scattered in the enemy line yesterday, and we are still searching around."

Ah Baojia and the Yan Ti Fu beside him secretly glanced at each other, and their faces were filled with schadenfreude.

At this time, Bogutai, the leader of the Murowei tribe, said in a loud voice: "Princess, please give an order, we will rush to the head of Hengzhou City and vent the evil spirit for Prince Mantuo." His face was expressionless, but everyone could hear his words, which was an allusion to the fact that Mantuo and his Turkic troops had no name for themselves, and that they had to rely on them to save face.

As soon as these words came out, the Bodhisattva, Abaojia, and Tie Fuyou were all secretly happy in their hearts, and they all stepped forward and said, "Please give the princess an order."

The actions of these alien leaders made the Turkic generals in the tent, such as Luo Puhan, the Arrow God Brothers, and the Zhan Brothers, extremely dissatisfied, and they glared at them one after another.

Princess Jinxiu was a little angry in her heart, but she clearly knew that she couldn't annoy these leaders of all clans who were in the same boat now, otherwise the fate of the southern expeditionary army would be terrible. She smiled and said, "You don't need to be in a hurry. Hengzhou soldiers and horses are good at stealing camps and intercepting villages, and cavalry assaults. Starting tomorrow, we will build high towers around the city, dig trenches, lay pits, and trap horses and antlers, trap them in the city, and then calmly attack the city, and we can hope for a great victory."

The Uighur prince and Bodhisattva hurriedly said, "What the princess said is reasonable, and I absolutely agree with it."

Ah Baojia raised his eyebrows, glanced at him, turned his head and said, "Princess, is that small city in Hengzhou capable of making a big move like attacking Chang'an City? Tomorrow I will lead an army to attack the city, and in less than three days I will break it, and I will save all those digging ditches and building buildings."

"Exactly," Tefu Yuya said, "if the Khitan army is not manpowered, plus my Ya men, it should be enough."

Bogutai laughed and said, "Don't forget that we are good men."

Princess Splendid slapped the handsome case and said in a deep voice: "First of all, everyone remember, this is the commander's tent of the coalition army, and once you enter the commander's tent, you must obey the order, and you must not make your own decisions, otherwise how to win on the battlefield. I am the commander of the coalition forces, and everything must be done according to my orders, and there shall be no mistake, and those who disobey the orders will be killed!" These words were cold and stern, and the momentum was impressive, and they immediately shocked the foreign leaders who began to disobey the discipline. These unruly men involuntarily stood up, commanded, and stopped speaking.

Princess Jinxiu's tone changed, and she smiled: "If you want to break the enemy's heart and win, how can I not know Jinxiu, but it is essential to be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, digging trenches and building a village. And it doesn't take three days to complete. When the time comes, I will let the heroes of the Khitan, the Ya, and the Murwei tribes take the lead."

Abaojia, Tie Fuyou and Bogutai hurriedly bowed down together and said, "Obey the princess's orders."

At that moment, a captain of the patrol camp stumbled into the tent, rolled to the ground, and cried out, "Princess, Prince Mantuo, he's back!"
