The firewood is still crackling and burning, and it is getting deeper. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After the snowstorm during the day, most of the dark clouds in the sky dissipated, and when I looked up, a bright moon hung high in the sky, shining on the silver-white moonlight.

The surviving villagers gathered around each other, lit bonfires and snuggled together to keep each other warm, sighing and sobbing endlessly.

Shi Lixun stood motionless at the edge of the village, looking at the crooked crescent moon, the armor on his body had been wrapped in a thin layer of frost under the cold wind of the night.

"General, it's too cold here, you might as well warm up by the campfire." Li Yin saw that Shi Lixun had stood for a long time and was afraid that he would suffer from the cold, so he walked up and persuaded him to go back.

Shi Lixun looked at the distance with a blank expression, and replied leisurely, "Yin, tell me, how many of the five hundred people can survive?" ”

"Uh...... The subordinates don't know, the matter has passed, the general's health is critical, and we have to leave for Fengxiang tomorrow. ”

"......" Shi Lixun pulled out his sword and thrust it into the ground, then sat down on the spot, "Yin, I've always had doubts, just now the village chief said that those weirdos who attacked us are actually the living dead who live out of resentment, and he also said that those living dead only haunt at night, that's why they are called 'Yelang', isn't it......"

"General, do you mean that the village chief is hiding something from us?"

"No, the people here can't hide it from us, I just think it's weird." Shi Lixun pointed to the Yelang who had been beheaded and said, "Although those things are not afraid of the power of the sword, they are indeed very difficult, but once the brain is destroyed, they will also die, no matter how bad the officers who defend the city are, they will not fall to the point where the city is broken and killed, and thousands of miles are reduced to scorched earth!" ”

"Could it be that the general thinks that it is not only Yoro who attacks villages and cities?" Li Yin replied thoughtfully, "It's strange to say, they actually know how to attack our army when we are resting and preparing when the wind and snow are combined, and it all looks like a planned ambush station......

Shi Lixun nodded, "Yes, this is also where I am confused. If it is to lead troops to fight, I will think that our team is mixed with the enemy's fine work, but the knights under our command are all the royal forest soldiers in the Chang'an Forbidden Palace, how can they be in the company of these people who are not ghosts or ghosts? ”

"And that blizzard also came strangely, since the morning camp has been following our team, I thought it was snowing in the whole northwest panorama."

"......" Shi Lixun was silent, holding his head with one hand and thinking non-stop, his expression a little anxious.

Li Yin didn't know what to say at this time, so he stood with him in the clear and cold winter night, looking at the starry sky above his head in a daze.

On the Loess Plateau, as far as the eye can see, there is not even a single tree on the barren and barren land, and occasionally it blows in bursts, rolling up the ice and snow seeds and flying into the sky.

On the edge of heaven and earth, three or four war horses ran faintly in the distance, because they were too far away to barely see, the size of a needle.

A few war horses may have seen the flickering fire on Shi Lixun's side, so they turned their horses' heads and ran here, the war horses were wearing half-crippled hanging armor, their fur had burn marks, and a bell hung on their chests, and the sound of the bell could be heard from a long distance.

After a short while, the war horses were already running in front of Shi Lixun and them, and then looking at it, Shi Lixun found that these war horses were uniformly equipped with bridle and saddle unique to the border guards.

Unfortunately, the saddle was empty, and the rider was missing.

"It seems that another city has been breached." Li Yin shook his head, and only said which army was also attacked by Yelang, and finally failed to break through.

Just as Li Yin was sighing, Shi Lixun found that the three war horses were obviously so close, but when he saw them, instead of stopping, they even galloped towards him, even if they were startled, it was impossible to do so.

It was only due to a moment's effort, and the war horse, which was still two or three hundred meters away, had already roared.

Seeing this scene, Shi Lixun hurriedly drew his sword and prepared to defend against the enemy, and it was at this critical moment that the leading war horse jumped forward suddenly, stretched out his hooves and trampled on Shi and Li.

"I know-" Shi Lixun had expected to dodge sideways with his sword, followed by a move "White Crane Neck", the sharp long sword glowed with a little cold light, and it broke through the air at once, and the end of the sword flashed a dazzling white light.

The flesh was broken and the bones were broken, Shi Lixun stood still, and the war horse leaping in the air had already cut off a forefoot in the air.

Next, Shi Lixun rolled forward, dodged the collision of another war horse, got up from the ground, pressed his sword with one hand, and pointed vigilantly at the enemy.

And Li Yin was more miserable, although he also avoided the horse collision, but because he was not prepared in advance, he was finally kicked in the back by the horse's hooves, and flew out on the spot, but fortunately, he was protected by a steel armor and leather suit, although he broke his head and bled out, it was not a big problem.

"Woo-" The wounded horse suffered from pain, and its huge body fell violently on the frosty earth, and it was immediately shocked to spit blood, and it wailed weakly, and it seemed that it could not survive like that.

Not only that, the moment the war horse landed, a person dressed as a military attache was also shocked from the horse's belly to the ground in the shock, and he struggled for a long time and could not get up from the ground, and it seemed that he was not lightly injured.

"It turned out that I was hiding on the horse's belly, and I said why didn't I see you." Shi Lixun stepped forward unhurriedly, resisted the rumble of the military attache with the tip of his sword and asked, "What kind of horse bandits are you?" Dare to steal the border guard horses! ”

"Humph!" The military attache who fell to the ground had his hair scattered and covered his face, his body was covered with dust and snow seeds, and his leather armor was also tattered, and he looked very embarrassed, but even if he was subdued by Shi Lixun, he did not lose his momentum, and shouted in an unusually crisp voice, "If you have the ability, kill me!" Grinding and chirping, it's not a! ”

“？！” Shi Lixun was stunned for a moment, then sent the sword forward, put it against her neck and smiled, "Speaking in such a thick voice will inevitably hurt your throat, what are you-"

"Stop hurting my master!" Before Shi Lixun's words fell, the two white and strong Hu people jumped off the horse's belly on the war horse that ran over just now, and the moment they landed, they took off the curved bow from their backs, and shouted in their mouths, and two loud feather arrows shot towards Shi Lixun's face.

When--the blade slashed cleanly, directly splitting the arrows flying in the air.

Li Yin had already appeared in front of Shi Lixun, holding on to the gorgeous and dangerous and deadly long sword.

Under the bright moon, the two sides confronted each other, and the bitter cold north wind blew, leaving only the wind blowing in the ears.
