At the beginning of the morning dawn, the two of them rode out of Huangsha County, galloping all the way, until noon, they arrived at Kanmengan, and then entered the city, and then delayed for a long time in the county guard and military camp, until it was dark at night, and then they set off from Kanmengan, and then they tossed until now, it was already the middle of the night.

At the edge of the night sky in the distance, a glimmer of light had appeared, illuminating the entire black curtain.

Gu Xuan and Jinglong, who had fled all the way through the middle of the night, were already very tired.

The only thing to be thankful for is only one thing, because the level of the other party's leader and commander is too low, and he doesn't know how to arrange troops at all, at the beginning he used the plan of dispersing and encircling, relying on the large number of people under his own hands, and scattered people to form a large encirclement, but Gu Xuan and the two relied on their own martial arts to easily break through a point and successfully broke through, and then saw that the horse's foot strength was not as good as others, and they couldn't catch up, so they scattered their forces again and chased and intercepted them in the entire vast forest sea.

Halfway through Gu Xuan's escape, they encountered three waves of enemies one after another, but they all quickly stabbed each other, of course, the price paid was not small, after all, if you want to solve these enemies hanging behind like jackals, the fastest way must be to exchange injuries for lives, so both of them have dots on their bodies.

These horse bandits are basically from a practicing family, no matter how bad they are these years of wandering outside the Saiwai, it is very dangerous, they can survive nine deaths, and their martial arts will gradually grow, and they must solve each other quickly, and they can't even let them successfully report the news, so they really have to pay a little price.

Seeing that the horses under their crotch began to gasp for breath and their speed slowed down, the two had no choice but to stop next to a stream for a while.

Gu Xuan was about to go to the stream to clean the wound and then bandage it carefully, but Jinglong behind him hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

"Lord Wang, we are upstream here, and the traces will drift downstream, if someone finds it, then our location will be exposed. ”

After tossing all night, Gu Xuan, who had become a little in a trance, suddenly woke up and sighed: "You are still more experienced, I almost made a big mistake." ”

Squatting on the edge of the clear stream, looking at his dejected appearance inside, after a while, Gu Xuan spoke: "We have all run so far and tossed around, but along the way, we have always encountered enemies in twos and threes, so I guess that they must have a big circle in front of them, and then send people along this range to look carefully, otherwise this point cannot be explained." ”

Jinglong thought for a while, and nodded approvingly: "It must be so, they don't have hounds in their hands, so they can't track our specific location, but in order to prevent us from sneaking out, the troops will inevitably not be able to close, so we can only scatter and form a large circle, and slowly look for it, so no matter how we go, we will still run into people." ”

"I have a plan now, it's better to go the other way, we go directly back to break through, there is an ambush in front, and the people who are still behind must be very rare, and they may even let go directly, only piling up troops in front, after all, their subordinates are not enough to place the entire mountain range, as long as we withdraw to the territory of Yanzhou, it will be safe!"

Jinglong was shocked by Gu Xuan's bold plan, but if the situation was really as he said, this was indeed a good way to break the situation.

Neither of them was indecisive, and as soon as they had made their decision, they turned on their horses, then turned around and galloped away the way they came.

Their speculation is actually not wrong at all, although the people behind all this are extraordinary, and even can be called talented, but this gang of attacking horse bandits is a rabble, and the leader is also a straw bag, and he doesn't know how to arrange troops at all, you have to let them attack an ordinary village together, if you want to chase and block two people in this reckless mountain, it is simply looking for a needle in a haystack, it is too difficult for them.

It was also because he was chased by these people in a hurry at the beginning, so he had no time to observe and think, and it was not until now that Gu Xuan discovered the true strength of the other party.

The two of them had just run out a short distance, and in the blink of an eye, they came to an open field.

Suddenly, a loud eagle roared overhead.

Gu Xuan's heart was shocked, and he secretly said that it was not good, he glanced up and scolded: "Damn!"

The eagle did not look like a bird that normally passed by by accidentally, and as soon as it spotted its target, it immediately circled and hissed above their heads, to show the way for its master, and now that it was light, they had just run out of the forest, and the eagle's eyes were sharp, and naturally they spotted them in an instant.

Sure enough, in just a few breaths, there was already a faint sound of horses' hooves in the distance in this direction.

Gu Xuan shouted angrily: "Go!"

The two hurriedly drove the horse forward, but in the end, an ordinary horse is an ordinary horse, the horse that Jinglong grabbed ran all night, and he didn't rest, and he couldn't stand it anymore, while panting, foaming at the mouth, the speed of the two slowed down suddenly.

The sound of horses' hooves in the distance came from far and near, and it should not be long before they arrived.

Jinglong was so anxious that he shouted loudly: "Lord Wang, change my horse!"

Gu Xuan lowered his head and refused to reply, just urging the horse under his crotch to continue to run forward with all his might.

Jinglong rode on the horse, and said loudly again, seeing that Gu Xuan still ignored him, he immediately decided to turn the horse back and forth, and then galloped back and forth, in front, the sound of horses' hooves was bursting, obviously the pursuers were already very close, and at this time, go back, and look for death.

Gu Xuan was suddenly shocked, and said loudly, "Uncle Jinglong, what are you doing?"

Jinglong didn't turn around, just held his knife and shouted loudly: "Lord Wang, run separately, let's meet at the foot of the mountain!"

Gu Xuan didn't know that he was actually going back to block the enemy alone, and immediately wanted to turn around and run back, but the old horse under his crotch suddenly stumbled, bent his front hooves, and hit his head on the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

Caught off guard, Gu Xuan's whole person was also knocked to the ground by him at once, but fortunately, his body bones that had been boiled out of his perennial martial arts practice were hard enough, and he lost his strength after a few rolls, and then trotted all the way to the side of the old horse to check the situation.

This brown old horse has been running with all his strength for so long, he has already exceeded his limit, and he has been urged forward by Gu Xuan all the way, and he is simply fighting for his life in the back, but now his eyes are white, his mouth is foaming, and even his breath has slowed down, obviously he can't do it anymore.

It was not a regular war horse, and at the beginning it ran with all its strength, waiting for work, and could keep up with the speed of the Hulan Divine Horse, but after so long, it definitely won't work.

Gu Xuan was helpless, so he could only reach out and take out the sword that was still pressed under the horse's belly, throw off the scabbard, hold it in his hand, and then turn around and run forward.

If the horse is in good condition, then he will definitely turn around to support Jinglong, but now that the horse is tired to death, he has to run in another direction alone, otherwise with infantry against cavalry, even if his martial arts are strong, if he is surrounded by more than ten people in this kind of place, he will definitely not be able to escape, and once he is dragged, then there will be a steady stream of enemies coming, and in the end he will definitely hate the spot.

At this moment, behind him, Jinglong's high-pitched voice came from afar.

"I am Gu Xuan, the king of Hedong County, who dares to kill me!"

Gu Xuan's heart was shaken, tears were about to fall almost instantly, and he wanted to return to support, but he knew that without a horse, he could only become a drag, and the other party would consume himself slowly and kill himself, and he would distract Jinglong when he went back, and now that he had run away, Jinglong was riding the Hulan Divine Horse alone, and the possibility of survival was greater.

As he ran farther and farther, the sound of the fight behind him gradually became inaudible, and Gu Xuan walked back completely towards the way he came, betting that the other party would not think that he would dare to turn back.

All the way through the first found woods, which had been almost half burned to the ground, and in a scorched earth, you could see large trees everywhere that had been burned half of their bodies into dead wood, still struggling to support themselves and not fall.

Without the hindrance of the mud and dead leaves that have been precipitated for decades under my feet, it is better to walk a little.

At the moment when he was about to continue running forward, Gu Xuan suddenly felt alarmed, and immediately rolled to the side with his feelings.

A feather arrow happened to shoot into the position where he was standing just now, and the force was so great that it went directly into the ground, only to see that the tail feathers were still exposed.

In the grove next to it, ten light riders slowly appeared.

They are different from the rabble who are unkempt and dirty, these ten people, all wearing the same armor and black veils, only revealing two indifferent eyes, at their feet are quivers full of feather arrows, behind them is a longbow, each holding a sabre, a smell of blood is about to come out, Gu Xuan can almost see at a glance that these people must be regular troops.

It's a pity that they are not the army of Liangguo.

The answer is already on the horizon.

Just from the eyes of the other party, Gu Xuan knew that these people were definitely not characters to be messed with.

These ten people are very likely to be the elite border army of the patriotic country, the people in the Qilian army, and they must not be ordinary soldiers, at least they are also elite squads that walk on the tip of the knife, and they belong to the treasures of the generals.

The most important thing is that people have horses and bows, and he only has a sword in one hand, whether it is the number of people or equipment, there is a huge disparity, how should he fight the enemy?

Punch?

People can rely on the war horse under the crotch, easily distance themselves from him, and when their physical strength is exhausted, they will turn back and take his head.

Run?

People have horses, and it's not easy for four legs to catch up with one or two legs?

Gu Xuan clenched the steel sword in his hand, feeling so desperate for the first time.

Who the hell could arrange such a terrible killing?

Who the hell guessed all the thoughts in his heart?

The thousands of horse bandits may have been a cover at all, and the ten people in front of him who were really sent to snipe him were the ones in front of him.
