Chapter 25: Cavalry Battle
In the early morning, a red sun rose from behind the mountains in the east, and the eastern sky was dyed red through the clouds. The depths of this mountain seem to be covered with a golden glow, making the whole world look beautiful and colorful.
The island duo didn't have the time to enjoy such a beautiful day, and their first task now was to escape to Jiezhou, and then through the Black Dragon Society's response, they would regroup and wash away the shame brought to them by Wu Da Prawn Chen Zhen and others.
Therefore, since these two were attacked last night, they simply don't sleep, they play masochism when they have nothing to do, pinch their thighs, and slap themselves until morning.
Now that the sun had fully risen, and the two had been on their way for more than half an hour, it was daylight, and they had not been disturbed on the way, at least so far, but they had always felt that something was spying on them, as if a wolf was stalking their prey.
Searching everywhere and finding nothing, so suspicious and highly concentrated, it is even harder than facing the actual combat of a strong enemy, if it weren't for the fact that the distance is not far, if they hurried with all their might, they would have been able to reach Jiezhou today, and they would have collapsed a long time ago.
'Mitake Shaosa, it's less than 60 miles to Daishu now, right? Kawaguchi asked, narrowing his eyes and licking his lips.
'Yes, Your Excellency Kawaguchi Daisa, I guess we'll be there before sunset. Mitake replied.
'Okay, then try to get there as soon as possible.' Kawaguchi said.
'Hey! Mitake saluted.
Without saying a word all the way, the two of them accelerated forward, and after walking for about ten miles, their eyes suddenly opened up, it turned out that they had come to a small basin, and at a glance it was a lush grassland, until the edge of the sky did they see a little mountain looming.
The area around Daizhou has been a mixed settlement of Han and Tibet since ancient times, and small basins like this are usually large pastures, especially in the time of Da Yi, because the traditional horse-producing land in the north was occupied by the Khitan and the Northwest Dangxiang, it became one of the only few sources of war horses in Da Yi, and the Da Yi court set up many tea and horse farms around Daizhou. Until later generations, some traditional pastoral areas were preserved here.
It's mid-spring, and the climate in Daiju is similar to that of northern Sichuan, so the grass has grown so high that you can see herders grazing from afar.
Kawaguchi looked around and said, "Mitake Shaosa, there are shepherds grazing here, and if we can get horses, then we can get to Daishu faster." ’
Mitake looked around and said, "Your Excellency Kawaguchi Daisa, then let's go get two horses first and then it's not too late." ’
Kawaguchi naturally agreed, so the two of them changed direction and walked in the direction of the herdsman's grazing. As for how these two want to get horses, the robbers naturally use the robbers' methods, do you still expect them to be stupid and have a lot of money?
It's just that I have just walked for less than five minutes, and suddenly a 'whoosh' sound of a stone flew behind the lush pasture, and it actually went straight to Kawaguchi's eyes, after all, Kawaguchi is also a master, although he is old, but he is not slow to react at all, he turned on one side slightly, and as soon as his jaw was closed, he let go of the stone, and shouted in his mouth and asked, "Who is it?" At the same time, he quickly set off to chase in the direction of the back and forth stone.
At this time, I saw that the grass in the direction of the stone was 'waves like anger', obviously the sneak attacker missed a hit, and was retreating, 'bang' a gunshot, obviously Meizhu shot, but unfortunately the grass was too lush, failed to hit, at this time Meizhu only had one bullet in the gun, naturally can not be easily fired, the two chased for a while did not catch up, can only watch the sneak attacker escape.
Besides, these two lack fire support now, and they don't dare to chase too fiercely, after all, both of them are now physically and energetically almost to the limit, and one of them will be killed if they are not good, as an old bird like them, they will naturally not easily give each other a head and experience, and they can't have a negative IQ just because they are villains, both sides have their own fears, and this round is a win.
Seeing that the sneak attacker had already run away and it was impossible to chase it anymore, the two of them quickened their speed and walked in the direction of the shepherd. When the shepherd heard a loud noise, he didn't understand what was going on because of the distance, but he looked around and found nothing unusual because of the grass barrier, so he focused his attention on the livestock.
Almost an hour later, it is already noon, there are white clouds floating in the blue sky, the spring sun shines warmly, under the sun is a lush grassland like a green ocean, the herdsman's cattle, sheep and horses are dotted around, dotted in the meantime, it seems to be very leisurely. The shepherd lay directly on the grass, shielded from the dazzling sunlight with his hat, and used the sky as a quilt and the ground as a bed, enjoying the quiet afternoon in this spring.
At this moment, in the lush pasture, two figures suddenly burst out, and quickly rushed to the side of the horse that was leisurely grazing, and did not have much choice, one rode on the jujube red horse with a saddle ridden by the herdsman, and the other rode on a black horse without a saddle nearby, these two are the island country duo, Kawaguchi naturally rides with a saddle, and Mitake rides without a saddle.
Both of them were specially trained people, and they were all skilled in horseback riding, shooting, fisting, fisting, and kicking, and they controlled their mounts in just a few breaths after getting on the horse, and the horses naturally ran obediently with a slight clamp on the horse's belly. When the shepherd saw that there was a horse thief stealing a horse, he got up and chased after him, screaming and chasing. He is not Xiao He, and the two who stole the horse are not Han Xin, this distance is naturally getting bigger and bigger.
Seeing that the horse thief was about to run away, the shepherd reacted that it was not a way to chase him in this way, so he ran back and prepared to ride a saddled horse to chase again, and with his riding skills, it should not be difficult to catch up.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he seemed to see two more horse thieves riding past him, as if one of them was shouting, 'Boss, where ......is this brake?' Ah......h
He knew a brawl, and when he saw that there were two horse thieves who stole his horse, how could he do it, four horses were not a small number, and if he couldn't find them, he would have to die, so he was ready to find a horse to be a mount and chase again, but when he came back, he saw that the three horses with saddles were stolen by horse thieves, and this is infuriating, if there is a heart disease, three highs, five highs, uh...... And the cervical erosion drops have to be gassed!
In a hurry, I had no choice but to ride a bare horse and chase after it. Who knows this pursuit...... Hey, let's just say that, that is, there was no live broadcast of this thing in those years, or this shepherd might have become an Internet celebrity.
After the shepherd caught up, he just saw the four people and four horses in front of him, and before he could figure out what was going on, he heard a loud "bang", and a firelight passed by the side of the whiskering rider (naturally Wu prawn, he had never ridden a horse, and he ran so fast, so naturally it looked like he was babbling), it turned out that someone had shot, and it seemed that the speed was too fast to miss.
However, this time also scared him enough, it seems that these people are not in a group, and they are killing each other. But he can't help it, I'm afraid that he will have to chase for those horses! In order to avoid accidental injury, he could only hang far behind.
At this moment, the squirrel rider in front of him seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly laughed and said, "Haha...... It's been so long before I fired a shot, it seems that it's almost out of bullets, and it's at this time that the fifth senior brother rushes up, and the flower girl of the island country captures Di Di alive...... Haha......'
The fifth senior brother (Chen Zhen) smiled and said: "Senior brother is reasonable, why should I leave it to you to work for the flower girl of the island country, the foolish brother went to the old devil of the island country to catch the drop alive, haha"
As he spoke, he accelerated and galloped away in the direction of Kawaguchi.
This Meizhu because there is no saddle, the speed is naturally slower, Wu Youdao is forced to learn everything fast, such a while of riding and he has a kung fu foundation has been basically familiar, Ya legs clamped, a speed is basically parallel to Meizhu, the mouth shouted: "You drop, the flower girl drops work, stop quickly, labor and management want to check drunk driving, wow, ......
Naturally, it was not the flower girl who pulled over and waited for the drunk driving check that answered him, but a white light rushed to his throat, and he immediately turned sideways and let go. 'Obedient boom, scared the baby to death, this is a shuriken, right?' Wu Youdao said with a hippie smile.
'Come and don't be rude, flower girl, you also take a slingshot from this hero.' After saying that, he took out a slingshot from his arms, and then pulled a bow like a full moon, uh...... No, Ya bent the branch that made the slingshot, and aimed at Meizhu, Meizhu just wanted to send the shuriken again, but Wu Youdao didn't give her a chance, and there was a soft sound of 'pop', and Ya's slingshot was stronger first.
Meizhu listened to the argument, and hurriedly flashed sideways, who knew that Ya was playing a false shot this time, it was just an empty slingshot pulled, and when Meizhu reacted, Wu Youdao had already ridden a horse to approach her.
Actually, at this time, Wu Youdao was also embarrassed, he didn't have weapons, so why did he fight on a horse, besides, even if he had weapons, he didn't have experience in horse fighting, did he continue to play slingshots?
Just when he was hesitating, Meizhu took out his shuriken again, Wu Youdao looked at it in a hurry, didn't this Nima come close and make people slap their faces? I can't care about three seven twenty-one, I pressed my hands on the horse's back, pulled out the horse's pedal with both feet, and jumped the horse's back, at this time, Meizhu just played the shuriken, but because of his jump, he left the horse, and the shuriken passed through the soles of his feet, and he didn't have time to sigh, he had pounced on Meizhu on the other horse, Meizhu was shocked, and quickly moved to the front of the horse, just let Wu Youdao, and Wu Youdao happened to sit behind Meizhu, the horse was a little overwhelmed, and let out a 'Herod' neigh.
Now, the posture of these two is a bit reverie, but these two are senior drivers, but they don't think there is anything wrong, Wu Youdao's first reaction is to slap the back of Meizhu's neck with a palm, ready to knock her unconscious directly.
Meizhu was also a karate aikido master, even three points stronger than Wu Youdao, but unfortunately now his physical strength and energy are not good, and he hurriedly turned around and hit his elbow backwards, Wu Youdao hurriedly slapped his palm on the tip of his elbow, and the two sides fought hard, regardless of victory or defeat, but Meizhu was extremely cunning, relying on the huge reaction force of this hard fight, Meizhu also closed her legs, pressed her palm and jumped to the horse, jumped under the horse, sprinted two steps along the inertia, turned over and jumped on the back of the opposite horse!
