Chapter 8 Pursuit

It was getting late, Xue Hu'er led his subordinates, all the way, the horse picked the bell, and took advantage of the darkness to touch the vicinity of the thief's sentry horse, and found a hidden place to hide.

Xue Hu'er poked his head out and counted them one by one, it was indeed six people and six horses,

At a glance, he could tell the leader of the leader, who made the other horse's side stand taller than the others.

Xue Hu'er licked her lips: Your horse is very good, I like it very much, it will be mine later.

Both knights were only wearing leather armor, after all, the scout's primary task was to detect the enemy and deliver information, and fighting was only secondary.

This is where bows and arrows come into play.

Xue Hu'er is very confident in his archery skills, as a poor background in Beizhen, he has to graze for Haogui when he is young.

A good hand, Shengsheng was trained when he was a child to throw stones to drive away wild beasts.

After Zhang Mo went back to report the news, there were still eight people left around Xue Hu'er.

He divided three people into a detour to the south, and led the other five to wait for the signal.

After waiting for a long time, I didn't hear the agreed night owl cry.

This made Xue Hu'er feel a little uneasy.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves in the south was loud, and the sharp whistle that did not belong to Xue Hu'er's squad pierced the silence of the night.

"It's bait! Fast... Yes! ”

With a scream, the shouting stopped abruptly.

Ambush!

Xue Hu'er didn't care about cursing the companion who led the way before, because he was warning just now, and now he was only afraid of more evil and less lucky.

Six people beat horses and galloped, now is the time to cherish horsepower, run slower, life has to be left behind.

The whistle and the sound of yo behind him were getting closer and closer, and Xue Hu'er looked back, and there were more than forty horsemen chasing behind, and they were all one person and two horses.

Tyre! What a horse! Lack of virtue stuff, play yin.

"Spread out, all spread out!"

Xue Hu'er yelled, it is definitely better to ride a single horse than to transfer to two horses, and the enemy is outnumbered, so he can only scatter in the hope that someone can become a fish that slips through the net.

"It's useless, Xue Tou, you can't get out."

Xue Hu'er followed the sound and saw that it was Rou Xuanren Lou Yu.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Xue Hu'er, as if waiting for him to make a certain decision.

Xue Hu'er is different from Lou Yu, Lou Yu is alone, and his family has long been gone.

After hesitating, Lou Yu couldn't wait.

"I can't die here, I still have a lot to do."

With that, Lou Yu turned his horse's head and shouted:

"Don't kill me, I'm down."

Seeing Lou Yu going away, everyone persuaded one after another:

"Xue Tou has descended."

Xue Hu'er was about to make up her mind, when a miserable scream came from behind her.

When everyone looked again, they only saw Lou Yu being planted from his horse with several arrows in his body, and several of the pursuers dismounted and fought for the head.

"Xue Tou, that group of people is credited with their heads, they don't want to be taken prisoner."

Seeing this scene, everyone knew the fate of surrender, and immediately gave up the idea of surrendering.

Xue Hu'er spat out a mouthful of foam and said viciously:

"Brothers, since they won't let us live, let's pull a few cushions."

With that, turn around and shoot an arrow into the arm of a pursuer.

The other four people also opened their bows and shot at each other as they fled.

Behind him, feathered arrows continued to shoot with a scream, and another cry of pain, one of his companions fell from his horse with an arrow, and everyone watched as he was chased and beheaded.

Perhaps thinking of his fate, Xue Hu'er was so excited by this scene that he frantically pulled the bowstring and shot at the pursuer.

As the bowstring was pulled again and again, finally, with a bang, the bowstring was torn apart.

"Who has a bow?"

Xue Hu'er shouted.

But no one answered.

Xue Hu'er realized that he was the only one left.

"His grandmother's, who hunts all day long, was actually pecked by geese."

Xue Hu'er threw away the riding bow, drew the saber at his waist, and prepared to turn back to melee combat.

He knew that his old buddy had been running for too long, and he couldn't hold it anymore.

Fortunately, Zhang Mo's kid was sent back, and his sister and younger brother could have something to rely on.

When Xue Hu'er was determined to fight to the death, the horse's hooves were galloping in front of him.

Damn, they went around to the front? Six heads only, as for so many people chasing?

There was an arrow in front of him, and Xue Hu'er instinctively wanted to dodge, but it seemed to be a little far away.

Immediately after Xue Hu'er heard the screams, he immediately looked back, and the arrow hit the face of a pursuer, who was only more than ten steps away from him, until he fell off the horse, and he was still holding a riding bow in his hand.

Maybe he was already aiming at his own heart.

Xue Hu'er was overjoyed in her heart.

"Get out of the way!"

The person in front of him shouted, and his voice was a little immature.

Xue Hu'er hurriedly deflected the horse's head and got out of the way.

More than a dozen horsemen who came to the aid fired two rounds in a volley.

When the pursuing enemy approached, the leader put away his riding bow and led the knights behind him to meet the enemy with a horse lance.

Xue Hu'er became an outsider.

The two horsemen met, and the leader of the reinforcements entered the crowd, and the horse lance in his hand opened and closed widely, and people were constantly swept away by him, and no one could get close.

While guarding behind him, the riders stabbed the people who had been shot down but were not yet dead with their spears.

"Old man, I'll work hard for you a little longer."

This courage made Xue Hu'er's heart surge, he muttered to the war horse under his crotch, and then raised his saber and rode the horse to join the battle group.

Without waiting for Xue Hu'er to show his bravery, the thieves seemed to be frightened by the knight who was the leader, and they scattered after a little resistance.

And the knight fought for a while, but he still had the strength, he dropped the horse, took out the riding bow on his shoulder, and took out a few feathered arrows from the quiver behind him and put them in his mouth.

I saw that he kept opening his bow and arrows, and every time the bowstring vibrate, it was always accompanied by a scream, reaping a life.

chased out two or three miles, and then stopped.

And Xue Hu'er was still in place, and his war horse was about to run and spit foam.

After the fight, the more than 20 horses left behind were still guarding the corpse, constantly arching their heads at their former owners, trying to wake them up.

Xue Hu'er didn't lead the horses, he coveted these ownerless war horses, but they weren't his trophies.

He didn't leave, he was waiting for the knight to return, and the situation was urgent, and he didn't even have time to thank the man.

Don't care if this favor has a chance to repay it, at least know who saved him.

didn't let Xue Hu'er wait long, and the brave knight rode back.

Presumably he also cared about these war horses, but he was in a hurry to chase the enemy, and he didn't care about leaving someone to take care of them.

When he got closer, Xue Hu'er saw his appearance clearly.

It turned out that he was not only immature in voice, but also a young man at all, and he looked like he was only sixteen or seventeen years old.

The young knight retrieved his horse, ordered the riders to collect the horses, and turned his head to look at Xue Hu'er:

"Why haven't you left yet?"

"You saved me, I don't know your name yet."

Xue Hu'er said.

The young knight carefully looked at Xue Hu'er's robe and asked:

"Are you under Gao Jinzhou?"

"My name is Xue Hu'er, and I am a scout under Gao Shuai."

"My grandfather is good friends with Gao Jinzhou, you don't need to be grateful to me, not to mention that I didn't take action to save you."

After the young knight finished speaking, he ignored Xue Hu'er, and when his horsemen collected the horses, he stepped on the newly acquired horses and prepared to return to the camp.

"No matter what your intentions are, but I, Xue Hu'er, have indeed been rescued by you today, please tell me my name, this favor may be repaid one day."

Seeing that everyone was leaving, Xue Hu'er refused to give up and shouted after him.

"Remember, my name is Hu Luguang."

The voice of the young knight could be heard in the distance.
