Volume 8: The Mystery of the Ancient Tomb is chaotic life and death, and the people of today are clever in their enmity and enmity Volume 8 Chapter 55: Capture the thief and capture the king first

Li Qian, the commander of Qingyan Military Town, led hundreds of light cavalry, ambushed on the mountainside, and launched an attack at this moment.

"Mr. Li Qian, after you attack, you don't have to set foot in the main battlefield, you just need to guerrilla on the periphery, disrupt the Miao Yi archers, and chase and suppress the fleeing enemy army."

The admonition of the general was still echoing in his mind, and Li Qian naturally did not dare to slack off, and he had already conveyed this order before launching the charge.

The word "light" of light cavalry comes from the horses under their crotch - each horse is a good horse, fast in attack, free in advance and retreat, and superior physical strength, in the peripheral guerrilla, pursuit, and rush scenes, the power of light cavalry is vividly displayed.

If the heavy cavalry is a sledgehammer that can break through all solid defenses, then the light cavalry is a deadly sword, targeting the weakest points of the enemy, cutting off the enemy's arms, and completely disrupting the entire battle formation.

At this time, the light cavalry of the Qin army had already rushed to kill, condescending, galloping, and flew in front of the Miao Jiang archers.

The Miao Jiang archers heard the sound of hooves, but before they could take a few breaths, some of their bows had not yet been set up, and a sharp and astonishing horse lance was pierced in front of them.

The speed of the light horse was extremely fast, and the horse lance in their hands easily penetrated the bodies of the Miao Jiang archers with a slight flick.

Heart-rending screams came and went.

Li Qian always whistled, raised the command flag in his hand and waved.

The light horsemen immediately reined in their horses and turned around, never rushing to the center of the battle formation.

They swept past Miao Jiang's archers like the wind, then brushed and drew their sabers, leaned over their pockets, and cut off human heads.

With a saber in their left hand and a lance in their right, they walked away like a leisurely stroll.

"Whoosh-" Miao Jiang's archers were killed by a rush, and they had been holding grudges for a long time, how could they let them retreat as they wished, and they bent their bows and arrows one after another, shooting at their backs.

But the horsemen tapped their horses lightly on the necks, and the horses under their crotches galloped in circles, and most of the feathered arrows that were shot at them were missed.

Then the light horsemen who were lying on horseback turned their heads, and they had already raised a cavalry crossbow in their hands.

In addition to being equipped with a horse lance that is more than a zhang long, each of the Qin army's light cavalry is also equipped with a saber and a crossbow, which can be said to be far and near, offensive and defensive, in the chaotic battle, they are like a group of hedgehogs, wherever they go, there is a mess, countless casualties.

"Boom, Boom—" The crossbow fired.

In order to shoot the Qin army's light cavalry, the Miao Jiang archers shot desperately in search of the commanding heights, and almost all of them exposed their bodies.

Where did they expect that the enemy still had the means to attack from a distance, at this time, the crossbow was shot, and countless Miao Jiang archers were hit one after another and fell to the ground......

"Hahaha......" The mountains were full of Miao Jiang archers, and Li Qian couldn't help laughing:

"Humph! Aggressive? No matter how fierce a person is, when he meets my Great Qin Xiongshi, he will only have the share of falling flowers and flowing water, hugging his head and running away! ”

Then he ordered the flag to change and waved it downward!

All the light cavalry understood this order - guerrilla pursuit, attack with all your might!

Mr. Li Qian looked at the soldiers around him:

"Go for all! Chop off two more heads, and come back to Lao Tzu to give you a promotion, hahahaha......"

"Yes!"

The pro-soldiers saw that their own side was devastated and decrepit, and the opponent had no power to fight back, and they couldn't hold it back, but because they were Li Qianzong's personal guards, they must not leave their posts without permission, so they didn't move for a long time.

At this time, Mr. Li Qian himself spoke, and they were all overjoyed, only hating that their horses did not have eight legs, and they rushed to the battlefield to kill without their lives.

The surroundings were empty, but Li Qian didn't care - Miao Yi was killed and fled in all directions, and I don't have half of the enemies here, rather than letting the Qin soldiers be in a daze here, it is better to let them go down and get some battle exploits.

Thinking of this, Li Qian always smiled - on weekdays, our light cavalry battalion is always useless, but after today's war, it is very different, not to mention that the brothers have been promoted to become rich, and I, Li Tao, will probably be able to find a good future with this military exploit......

Until a tricky feather arrow interrupted his conjecture of sealing his wife's shadow.

A few zhang in front of him on the right, there was a green mountain rock, but at this time, the mountain stone actually shot an arrow, straight to Li Tao's face!

Li Tao lowered his head suddenly, and the feather arrow shot against his scalp, overturning his helmet, and even his hair bun was shattered.

Li Tao was horrified, rolled off the horse, his hair was scattered, and he shouted:

"Who! Who is it! Get out! ”

Regardless of Li Tao's loud scolding, after an arrow, there was no movement on the rock.

Li Tao drew his sword, stared at the rock, and then approached step by step.

When he came closer, Li Tao saw clearly that the mountain rocks were covered with moss, and the turquoise color almost blended in with the surrounding environment, and on top of the moss, there was a shallow human shape.

It seems that the attackers attacked themselves by lying on this rock.

But in broad daylight, with so many pairs of eyes, how could a person sneak over out of thin air?

Li Tao strictly guarded the door and looked around, but there was nothing around except flowers and trees.

The sound of fighting in the distance kept coming, and the voices of people were boiling, but Li Tao, who was more than 100 zhang away, felt that there was a lot of ghosts around him.

He gasped and leaned against a tree, and then he commanded in a loud voice:

"Someone! Come—"

The voice stopped abruptly, and Li Tao's hands and feet became stiff and abnormal in an instant.

His throat was pressed against a sharp blade.

Li Tao suddenly understood something, and his forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat.

Why can the enemy shoot himself on the rocks without showing a trace?

After the enemy attacked, why did he disappear the next moment?

Where did the man who is now holding his throat come from?

Looking at the branches hanging over his shoulders, Li Tao understood everything.

The enemy is dressed as a tree, and it happens to be the one he is leaning on! The color is the same as that of the rocks, and he always stays where he is, and he does not leave at all, until he throws himself into the net......

The "tree" spoke, and it turned out to be a woman:

"I've wronged you, come with me."

Li Tao was dazed, and then the back of his neck was numb, and he fell softly.

…………

When the light horse rushed down, Xiao Nian also panicked at that time, and a horse lance came towards her, and she flipped it violently to avoid the blow.

But then the light rider turned his head and rushed towards Xiao Nian again.

Xiao Nian hurriedly got up to dodge, but where can the speed of a person compare to a horse? But after two breaths, the lightly ridden horse lance had come to her heart again.

Xiao Nian heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and his heart was like ashes, so he stopped struggling and closed his eyes miserably.

Akang, Akang, I didn't expect me to come to see you so soon......

"Ugh!" Suddenly there was a miserable cry behind him.

Then Xiao Nian felt that his shoulder was hit, and he fell to the ground with a bang.

Me, how am I okay? Xiao Nian opened his eyes in a daze, only to see that an ownerless horse had galloped away, and it seemed that he had been knocked over by it.

And the light horseman who had chased and killed him before was lying not far away, with a blood hole in his eyebrows, gurgling blood, and his eyes were staring at the boss, and he couldn't look at death.

"Hey!" A voice came from overhead.

Xiao Nian raised his head, but frowned - how could the tree above his head make a sound? Am I having auditory hallucinations?

"This and this!" There was a voice overhead, and at the same time, a tree trunk shook, Xiao Nian stared at it, only to realize that it was a person covered in leaves.

The man gestured to her, and Xiao Nian understood, and climbed up.

Climbing to the tree, Xiao Nian found that this person was actually a very beautiful woman, although her face was covered with ash, she still did not hide her appearance, her skin was whiter than snow, and her facial features were delicate.

The man said to Xiao Nian:

"Gurgling! Flowers don't slip in autumn? Gurgle grunt grunt ......"

Xiao Nian was at a loss - which village's accent is this?

"What?" Xiao Nian couldn't help but say.

The man smiled, and then said in the original dialect:

"Alas, blame me, my accent is a little weird, let's speak Zhongyuan."

Isn't that weird? Xiao Nian couldn't help but slander, and then said in a blunt Central Plains dialect:

"Thank you for saving me."

"You're welcome, what's your name?"

"Xiao Nian."

"My name is ...... Xiaowei. ”

"Sister Xiaowei, what are you ......" Xiao Nian looked at Xiaowei covered with branches and grass leaves, crawling on the tree, and couldn't help asking:

"What are you doing in the trees?"

"Shhhh......h

"Look."

Xiao Nian looked at her fingers, and saw that after the light horsemen rushed to kill a round, they actually took out their crossbows, and reflexively shot back at Miao Jiang's archers, and for a while, there were countless casualties.

"What a fierce cavalryman!" Xiao Nian saw that his allies were damaged, and he couldn't help but say with hatred.

"It's over, they'll shoot arrows too, and it's not safe even to the top of the tree...... Eh, you get down on your stomach. Xiao Wei muttered to herself, then grabbed Xiao Nian and pressed her down.

Xiaowei's eyes wandered around the battlefield, and then her eyes moved, as if she had found something.

Xiao Nian looked over and found that Xiao Wei's eyes were a group of cavalry, about twenty or thirty people, and the person wearing the sword in the middle of them was waving the order flag in his hand.

"That's the leader of these cavalry, the official is not small, he is a thousand households...... Huh! You see, his own soldiers are also gone. ”

Sure enough, after the leader of the light cavalry said something to his own soldiers, his side immediately disappeared.

"Xiao Nian, have you had any important people captured by the Qin army?" Xiaowei said suddenly.

"Ah," Xiao Nian was startled, and then lowered his head:

"I—I don't know, he's in the vanguard, and his life and death are still uncertain......"

"He must be alive, you miss him so much, he is not willing to die." Xiaowei said.

"Really, really?" Xiao Nian's eyes lit up.

"Absolutely." Xiaowei's tone was unmistakable, and then she asked:

"Do you want to save your sweetheart?"

Xiao Nian nodded hurriedly.

So Xiaowei said:

"I'll arrest that officer, order them to retreat on light horses, and then the two of us will take him to exchange for your sweetheart."

Then Xiao Wei jumped down and left Xiao Nian in place.

A moment later, Xiao Wei's voice came from under his feet:

"Come down!"

Xiao Wei didn't know what method she used, but she really caught Li Tao of the Qin Army.

Xiao Nian jumped down, and the two of them grabbed Li Tao at the same time and walked to a conspicuous place.

Xiaowei pinched Li Tao's middle man, and when she saw Li Tao waking up slowly, she ordered:

"Let your light cavalry retreat!"

Li Tao pursed his lips and didn't say a word, Xiaowei was not polite to him, and with the strength of his hand, Li Tao's throat suddenly overflowed with blood.

Li Tao was helpless, so he had to shout:

"The light cavalry battalion listened to the order, retreated the same way, and immediately explained the situation to General Zhou!"

At the same time, he raised the command flag and gave the order to retreat.

The light cavalry rushed here, and Li Tao's personal soldiers shouted:

"Woman, let go of my family!"

Xiaowei smiled coldly:

"Go back and tell you General Zhou, and take Lang Dezhai Luo Kang in exchange for your family."

Then she didn't talk anymore, and left with Li Tao.

Xiao Nian followed her nervously, and it wasn't until the sound of hooves behind her was far away that she breathed a sigh of relief, and she couldn't help but say:

"It's dangerous."

"Wealth and danger are begging, and they naturally don't dare to act rashly." Xiao Wei grinned, and when she saw Xiao Nian's confused expression, she explained:

"This is the saying of the Central Plains, it is called to capture the thief and capture the king first."

"Capture the thief and capture the king first......" Xiao Nian thought thoughtfully, then quickened his pace, and the two of them rushed to the elders' council.
