Chapter 12: Illusion at the Altar (3)

The cavalry of the Iron City was divided into heavy cavalry and light cavalry.

The horses of the hussars had no armor, and the soldiers had very little armor. The troops are lightweight, which is conducive to long-distance travel. Holding the reins in his left hand and his halberd in his right hand, like bulldozers, the cavalry marched neatly along the canal and along the narrow official road, stabbing and killing the homeless people on the official road.

This kind of murder is artistic.

After the detachments, there were the less neatly arranged cavalry, which could break away from the ranks and chase down the wanderers who had fled to the roadside.

A cavalryman in brocade clothes drove the white horse out of the light cavalry queue, and the speed of the white horse changed from slow to fast, galloping towards Li Xiao and the country man.

Seeing such a massacre scene for the first time, Li Xiao couldn't help but be so frightened that he forgot to escape. It wasn't until the three-meter-long halberd of the brocade cavalry stabbed Li Xiao's chest that Li Xiao reacted, he flashed sideways, avoided the halberd, held the halberd with his left hand, and wanted to snatch the halberd over, but his left hand had already been stepped on, injured, and he couldn't hold it, where was there any extra strength.

Seeing that the brocade cavalry missed a blow, he smiled and turned his halberd into a hook peck.

So Li Xiao took advantage of the situation, pressed the halberd with his left hand, and then pressed the halberd with his right hand, flew up, crossed the horse's head, and kicked the face and chest of the brocade-clothed cavalry with both feet.

The brocade cavalry was taken aback, and hurriedly bowed his head, took off the halberd, and blocked it with his left hand. The right hand quickly drew the scimitar at his waist.

Within a day, Li Xiao's body and mind were seriously injured, and his speed was less than one-tenth of the usual strength, and his feet kicked the brocade cavalry almost at the same time, but he did not kick him off the white horse.

Li Xiao rode on the neck of the horse, and the brocade cavalry who was riding on the horse, face to face, the white horse stood up from time to time, restless and jumping.

Although the brocade cavalry drew out a scimitar, he sat face to face with Li Xiao, and it was very inconvenient to cut, split, and sharpen with a scimitar, but he was punched by Li Xiao a few times, grinning in pain.

The brocade cavalry was arrogant and angry, he discarded the scimitar and fought with Li Xiao empty-handed, you punched, I punched each other, and soon Li Xiao's nosebleed for a long time, and the helmet of the brocade cavalry was also knocked off.

Li Xiao was not physically strong, and he was secretly anxious in his heart: Why is this gentlemanly cavalry so aggressive?

The brocade cavalry also complained in his heart: he was entangled by this homeless person, this homeless person was still a child, he couldn't fight for a long time, and he was seen as a "joke" by the low-level cavalry in the team for no reason.

When the two were irritable, they naturally no longer considered strategy and play, and both stretched out their hands to desperately jam each other's necks, wanting to kill each other.

Li Xiao gradually became breathless, and suddenly felt that his death was right now, Wu Xiaoze's smiling face and delicate body appeared in his mind, and there was a sadness in his heart, "Xiao Ze, I'm going to die, are you still unwilling to choose me, the one who is willing to give everything for you? Li Xiao smiled and shed two lines of tears, relaxed the strength of his hands, and no longer stuck the other party's neck.

Suddenly, Li Xiao felt that he and the brocade-clothed cavalry had fallen off the back of the white horse. The huge force between Li Xiao's throat also disappeared, he lay on his side on the ground, coughed a few times, his consciousness gradually became clear again, his eyes slowly adjusted the "focus", and he saw the country man holding the halberd of the brocade cavalry in his hand, and he was assassinating the exhausted brocade cavalry one by one.

Obviously, the country man once again saved Li Xiao's life. In other words, Li Xiao twenty years later once again saved the current Li Xiao.

When the country man saw that the brocade-clothed cavalry was dead, he couldn't help but shudder. looked back at the daughter-in-law who had just died, and showed a resolute expression on her face again. It can be seen that the fear of killing for the first time cannot hide the pain of losing a daughter-in-law.

The countryman looked at the official road, and a group of light cavalry noticed the anomaly here, and was turning the horse's head in this direction.

The country man took hold of the reins of his horse and captured the white horse, who was unwilling to leave the brocade cavalry, and was struggling to escape on horseback with the remains of his two children and daughter-in-law, when an arrow struck him in the back and through his chest.

The country man looked at the bloody arrow on his chest, knelt on the ground in pain, and saw that Li Xiao, who was sitting on the ground, was looking at him with grateful and pitying eyes, he smiled bitterly, endured the severe pain and said to Li Xiao: "Take it...... My child is ...... soon". Another arrow flew and hit him in the back of the head, and the country man fell to the ground and died before he could finish his words.

Li Xiao was shocked, and hurriedly lay down on the ground, raised his head slightly, and saw that four or five cavalrymen were slowly driving their horses through the corpses all over the ground, and walked here.

The leading light knight was supposed to be the commander of the cavalry, and he was talking to the people around him while setting up an arrow, and another arrow was fired.

Li Xiao saw that when the five or six-year-old boy saw his father fall to the ground, he ran from his mother's side to his father's side, and was regarded as a talking point and a target by the cavalry commander.

Li Xiao had just come back from the death line, his limbs were still weak, and when he saw the scimitar of the brocade-clothed cavalry beside him, he scooped up the scimitar and threw it at the cavalry chief, who only cared about aiming at the moving boy, and did not watch out for a living person attacking him.

At the same time that he released an arrow to kill the boy, he saw that a scimitar had been thrown at his face, he hurriedly blocked it with his bow, but the bow was cut off by the scimitar, and he didn't have time to be surprised, his head was cut in half by the scimitar, and in the exclamation of his subordinates, the cavalry commander fell off his horse.

This kind of scimitar is the saber of the royal family of the Great Xuan Kingdom, which is made by the craftsmen of the Iron City of the Great Xuan Kingdom Combined with the knife-making technology of the Sanzhou Kingdom of Fanyu, and is made with secret techniques, the blade has different patterns, it is extremely sharp, and the iron is sharpened like mud.

When Li Xiao threw out the scimitar, his body was already in front of the boy, and when the arrow was about to hit his abdomen, he used his right hand to control the qi like lightning, slowed down the speed of the arrow, and finally gently pinched the shaft of the arrow.

Li Xiao learned the skill of catching sharp weapons with his bare hands, "Dragon Grabber", one of the skills of a fifth-order qi refiner.

The boy didn't know his danger at all, and he didn't look at the strange Li Xiao, so he threw himself on his father's body and cried.

Li Xiao killed the cavalry commander and saved the boy, almost at the same moment, the four light knights in the distance saw the cavalry chief fall off their horses, immediately reined in the horses, and checked the injuries of the cavalry chief, one of the cavalry dismounted and held the hand of the cavalry chief, and shouted the name of the cavalry chief, and found that the head of the cavalry chief was blurred with flesh and blood, and he had died of anger.

Li Xiao knew that danger was coming soon, so he forcibly put the boy on the horse's back, and just fixed the boy with the saddle and bridles. Then he caught a glimpse of four light knights shouting at their horses and holding halberds, hurrying towards him.

Li Xiao slapped the horse's buttocks with the palm of his hand, and the white horse was in pain and ran away.

The four cavalrymen did not chase the boy, but still rushed towards Li Xiao.

It can be seen that this small group of cavalry and the brocade cavalry did not know each other, and the four cavalrymen gritted their teeth, and they all wanted to personally avenge their cavalry commander.

The cavalryman at the front let go of the reins with his left hand, clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and held the halberd in both hands, urging the horse to gallop, crashing into Li Xiao, and said loudly: "Go to death!"

Li Xiao pinched the previous arrow, threw it like a dart, and threw the arrow at the front door of the cavalryman, hitting him in the center of the eyebrow. Li Xiao narrowly avoided the galloping war horse, and the cavalry who died by the arrow was still sitting on the horse, and ran several kilometers away with the war horse before losing his center of gravity and falling under the horse.

The other three cavalrymen saw that one of their accomplices had already moved, and they had already restrained the speed of their horses in order to watch the battle. They could never have imagined that a thin little outcast would kill their comrades again. The three cavalrymen didn't figure out what was going on at all, they only knew that they had met a master, but where would they be timid to kill all the way?

The three of them controlled their horses, and one of them said angrily: "Shi Chang usually treats me well, so let me stab him to death." Why do you report for a long time...... Revenge!" As soon as the word came to his mouth, the halberd had already stabbed Li Xiao's face.
