Chapter 5 Interception
Li Yue suddenly remembered what Zhang Shan said yesterday that he would send himself to Yecheng as a eunuch.
After Shi Le's death, Shi Hu killed Shi Lemanmen, acted perversely in Yecheng, and deliberately brutalized the Han people, causing the entire north to become a ghost.
For a moment, Li Yue wanted to rush up and fight with the Qianren, looking for a good time.
As soon as this thought appeared, it surged through the veins like a blazing fire.
"It is useless to die, it is better to keep a useful body for the future." Cui Jin beside him woke up at some point, as if he had seen through Li Yue's thoughts, "It's like this everywhere in the north, how many people can you save?" How many people to kill? ”
The blood and anger in his chest quickly cooled, and he watched the group of people walk away, and their figures gradually blurred with the desolate earth.
A rancid smell filled the air.
Li Yue looked around, and suddenly saw that the upstream river water had turned black and red, and countless floating corpses were crowded on the river, slowly descending.
Hands as thin as wood stretched out into the sky like withered branches, as if trying to catch something, and occasionally a fish jumped up from under the water and fell into the pile of floating corpses, setting off a black-red splash......
A flock of crows hovered over it, fell, picked up a piece of carrion, and flew diagonally into the sky......
Li Yue was pulled up by Cui Jin, and the two stood on the shore, staring blankly at the floating corpses in the water.
The rotten human faces still had the painful look they had before their lives, and their pale pupils stared at Li Yue, rising and falling with the waves.
"Let's go." Cui Jin sighed.
Li Yue retracted his gaze, followed behind Cui Jin, and walked forward silently.
I don't know how long I walked, the sky became more and more dark, raindrops fell, and in the blink of an eye, the sky and the earth were gray and hazy, and a chill also lingered in my heart.
I finally saw a few big trees, ready to hide from the rain, and when I got closer, there were more than a dozen dried corpses hanging on the branches, obviously a group of people, old and young, men and women, all the same thin, and then the wind and rain swayed.
The thunder was gusting, the wind and rain were getting more and more urgent, hitting the face, and the chill seeped from the skin to the bottom of the heart.
In the wind and rain, there was a sudden sound of fighting ahead.
Li Yue thought he had heard it wrong, but he saw Cui Jin beside him also looking into the distance blankly.
A group of people could be faintly seen fighting, as if shrouded in a layer of blood mist, and the surrounding raindrops and water vapor also turned red, and occasionally there was a neighing of one or two war horses.
"Cavalry, it's a Karma!" Cui Jin's neck stretched out, and he came to his senses in an instant.
No matter who the other party is, it is good to dare to intercept and kill the people.
Li Yue held the kitchen knife, and the flame in his heart rose again.
Only in this age can we appreciate this anger and hatred!
The fight seems to be coming to an end.
The cavalry of the Qiang people were well-equipped, everyone was armoured, and the advantage was too great.
The besieging men were a rabble, dressed in single clothes, barefoot, carrying broken knives and broken spears that they had picked up from nowhere, and rushed towards the people without their lives.
Despite their desperate efforts, the gap in equipment was too great, and it was difficult for the swords and spears in their hands to inflict damage on the iron-clad Karma.
And a man can take a person's life with a spear in his hand.
There were also more than 100 young men on the ground, holding their heads and shrinking into the muddy water, which was the Han who had just been driven away by the Qiang people.
A kitchen knife tore through the rain curtain and slashed precisely in the face of a man who screamed and fell from his horse on his back.
Li Yue stepped up with an arrow and picked up the spear in his hand.
I wanted to peel off his iron armor, but the horse on the left had already reacted, and rushed at him with a spear, urging the war horse to stab.
Li Yue hurriedly pestle the ground with his spear, and the spear blade was aimed at the rushing Qianren, and the muscles of his whole body reacted almost instinctively.
This man was also extremely brave, he didn't retreat or avoid, so he crashed into him in a daze.
With a "tearing" sound, the neck of the war horse was torn open by the spear, revealing terrifying flesh and white bones, and with the momentum, the spear in Li Yue's hand was also broken.
At the critical moment, Li Yue let go of the spear in his hand and rolled on the spot, still instinctively in his body, dodging the oncoming spear, and the soft mud ground unloaded most of his strength.
There was a huge pain in both hands, but fortunately there was no dislocation.
Fortunately, it was a rainy day, and the cavalry could not charge, and the bow and arrow had lost their due advantage.
If it is a war horse galloping forward, it only needs to be a face, and his arms will definitely not be saved.
Half of his body was crushed by the war horse, and he was struggling frantically.
Li Yue ignored the pain in his arm, roared, and the whole person pressed over, and his fist rained down on his face, and after a while, he stopped moving.
But Li Yue didn't dare to take it lightly, and did everything to eliminate the evil, so he pulled out the ring knife on his body and cut his throat.
Standing up from the bloody mud, Li Yue gasped for breath, but strangely did not feel the slightest discomfort, even the fight just now was almost instinctive.
Cui Jin on the other side is even more murderous, don't look at him as a sick cat in the water, but on land he is a fierce tiger, the long sword in his hand is wide open and closed, swaying wantonly in the rain, cutting down several horses one after another.
But he was also tired and panting.
The arrogance of the people was suddenly suppressed, and the surrounding people were greatly invigorated, and groups of three or five began to besiege and kill.
"Second brother, third brother, it turned out to be you!" One person got up from the muddy water and said in surprise.
"Big brother!" Cui Jin was overjoyed.
Li Yue looked at the person standing in the rain, burly, a long scar on the right side of his face from the corner of his eye to the root of his ear, adding a bit of hideousness, before he could speak, he had already walked quickly, his eyes looked up and down gently, and said with concern: "Third brother, have you ever been injured?" ”
"I almost didn't see my big brother."
The name "Meng Kai" suddenly came to mind.
"Great goodness! Hahaha......" Meng Kai looked up to the sky and laughed, letting the rain pour into his mouth.
Perhaps it was the laughter that was too loud to attract the attention of one of the knights, whose iron armor was noticeably heavier than the others, and the sharp lance was pointed at Meng Kai's thorn.
Meng Kai was still smiling as if he hadn't seen it.
"Beware!" Li Yue roared.
However, the two were already close, and the war horse arrived in three or two steps.
Just as Li Yue's voice came out, Meng Kai suddenly shouted, "Get out!" ”
It was like a thunderclap in the flatland, and the sound was extremely terrifying, and the horses were so frightened that people stood up, but the spear of the horse was still skillfully pierced......
didn't stab Meng Kai's body, but he caught the lance with his backhand, and then crashed into the war horse.
Sigh......
The war horse let out a long neigh, and was actually knocked back five or six steps by him, and finally slipped and fell in the mud.
"Big brother divine power!" Cui Jin on the side stroked his sword and smiled.
Li Yue was also shocked by this titular eldest brother, although the war horse did not rush up, but he was condescending, and even people with horses and armor, and the weight of hundreds of catties was knocked away by him......
"Die!" Meng Kai made a backhand and directly pierced the iron armor of the knight, nailing the person to the ground.
The cavalry did not die for a while, and let out a terrible scream.
Meng Kai laughed in the rain.
This hand completely crushed the resistance of the cavalry, and they fled into the rain.
But they were all besieged and killed by the minions.
At this time, a person suddenly jumped on the ground, turned over an empty war horse, and the action was done in one go, everyone was celebrating the victory in advance, and they didn't expect that the Qiang people would be killed at all, and when they reacted, they had already fled into the rain curtain, and threw down a sentence, "The Black Cloud Mountain Bandit Chief, he will come for revenge one day!" ”
"Can't let him go!" Meng Kai turned over and got on the horse, but the equestrian skills were not good, he didn't run a few steps, the people and the horse slipped and fell in the mud, in fact, even if he didn't fall, it was difficult to catch up.
Cui Jin took a bow and arrow and aimed at the faint figure in the rain curtain, but before the arrow was shot, the bowstring was scattered......
The heavy rain quickly engulfed the figure of the knight.
Meng Kai sat up from the mud floor, gasped and said, "Damn, it's a big deal!" ”
And the people began to clean up the battlefield, and everything was pulled off from the Kam's body, including armor, bows and arrows, swords, and clothes......
Not even the horse corpses were spared.
Meng Kai brought two healthy horses, "Second brother, third brother, one horse for each of you!" ”
"Thank you, big brother!" Cui Jin bowed.
"Brother Xie!" Li Yue's heart was moved.
The idea is that a donkey can be exchanged for three young people, and a healthy horse is even more precious.
"My own brother, why bother!" Meng Kai stroked the water from his hair heartily.
Although the victory was won, the casualties were not small, more than 40 people died under the spears of the Qianren, and no less than 100 people were injured.
Many people were wounded in the chest and abdomen, and they were lying in the rain and mud wailing.
"With so many people dead, how can you explain to Zhao Guang?" Cui Jin frowned.
"Confession? Zhao Heizi dared to be so mouthy, so he blamed a certain subordinate for being ruthless, a thief bird village, and really thought he was the king? Meng Kai showed his true colors as a strongman and pulled the knife in his hand.
Only then did Li Yue remember that the three brothers sent someone under the fence.
"They're Colliers Janissaries!" A minion said with an iron sign.
