Chapter Seventy-Eight: Ambush (I)
Seeing that a hundred-man team had been killed and wounded, the two black crows were also scarred and crumbling, but they still had the strength to fight, and there was thick red blood flowing on the narrow blades in their hands.
Lao Dongran did not send ordinary soldiers to send him to death, but named the name of a commander under his command.
The commander agreed, and rode out of the ranks, with a layer of protective qi rising from his body. He shouted a few loudly as he walked, and then another team of 100 people followed him up the mountain.
The hundred-man team had no intention of charging at all, but bent their bows and arrows, and launched a bloody battle with the twenty black crows at the top of the mountain wall.
Cao Chunfu and Xu Dongjiang glanced at each other, and at the same time stepped back, the two with very different personalities and backgrounds joined forces for the first time, and there was an indescribable tacit understanding between them.
The commander rode his horse and swung his sword to sweep away the crossbow arrows that shot down from his head, and soon rushed up the hill to protect his horse, because he had learned from the past, he did not rush into the arch, but jumped off his horse, and approached the two black crows step by step.
The two crows had retreated again and again until they reached the edge of the northern slope of the arch, and then without hesitation they turned and ran down the hill.
The commander walked through the arch and finally made sure that there was no ambush, he breathed a sigh of relief, and with no doubt in his heart, he raised his scimitar slightly and rushed towards the two crows.
As a master at the pinnacle of Qi training, this commander can be regarded as experienced in a hundred battles, and at this time he still has spare strength, even if there is no enemy ambush, he still cautiously observes the surrounding environment.
In front of the two crows, there was a relatively flat slope, on which two white horses were grazing leisurely.
"Want to run?"
The commander laughed cruelly, raised his knife and chased hard, already using all his strength.
He didn't even wait to call his mount, but instead leapt to his feet, dashing at the two crows, leaving behind him a few overhead bolts.
The thinner crow glanced back as he ran, then put his finger into his mouth and whistled in a hurry.
On the slope, a white horse raised its head sharply and galloped towards its master, which made the commander's footsteps subconsciously a little faster.
However, a few feet away was crossed by the commander of the thousand steps, and he was confident that even if the other party could climb on horseback, there would be no chance of escaping from his sword.
The thin black crow, who was firmly locked by the commander's sight, did not have the slightest intention of getting on the horse and running for his life, but passed by the white horse on the mountain and ran straight down the mountain.
The white horse continued upward, pounced head-on towards the commander.
The commander was taken aback, but still did not hesitate to swing the sword, and not yet a horse was in his eyes.
At this moment, he clearly saw a very spiritual contemptuous smile on the white horse's face, and the teeth as sharp as a beast could be clearly seen in the grinning mouth, especially the nostrils that suddenly spewed out two huge black gases.
These two black gases were somewhat familiar, evoking some of the commander's memories that were still alive.
Before he could fully react, the white horse had been heavily wrapped in two black gases, forming armor similar to a protective bodyguard, and slammed into him at the same time.
Because of the height difference, the commander's scimitar struck the white horse's forehead with a loud bang.
A huge anti-shock force came, and the machete, which was not well charged, was violently flicked upward, and the commander had already opened the door open.
He had a complicated look of disbelief and horror on his face, and before he could strengthen his chest a little, he was stomped by the hooves of two horses that leaped into the air.
There was a strange red glow on the two pitch-black horses' hooves, and the commander seemed to see some strange flower flash before his eyes.
Click! It's the sound of bones shattering.
The commander squirted out a mouthful of black blood mixed with pieces of flesh, and slammed his back into the slope behind him.
At the last moment, he saw a horse's hoof grow wider and wider, trampling on his forehead.
Poof!
It was the sound of something popping, and then it was eternal darkness.
The collision between the two peak Qi cultivation masters at the other end of the arch was fierce and short, and for the Inspiration Grandmaster, even if he couldn't see it with his eyes, his spiritual sense would be unobstructed.
At the moment when the white horse spit out clouds and mist, Lao Dongran had already shouted angrily and flew up to charge.
The warriors under the command of Lao Dongran have not fought with the Shuofang border army and even the Xiandengwei, and the Shuofang border army can hold the northern border of Youzhou with Ququ 10,000 people, and the majesty of the combat power is self-evident.
But it was still a big surprise that there could be such a master among the crows of a hundred-person team.
As soon as Lao Dongran ran a few steps, he felt the sharp exhaustion of the aura of the commander under his command, while the aura of the opponent's qi cultivation master was still strong, and it was obvious that he had already distinguished life and death.
He was angry and distressed, but he put his heart at ease, in the mind of this captain, it was the limit that the other party could dispatch a peak of qi training to chase and kill him, it couldn't be that people like General Shuo Fang and the Titled Captain personally shot and spared no effort to chase and kill him for hundreds of miles, right?
Although he had already made the worst guesses and plans before, Lao Dongran didn't want to believe that he would be so unlucky in his heart.
Since the other party was just practicing qi, the captain Wan, who was already furious under the pursuit and attack all the way, didn't mind fighting to aggravate his injuries and send this crow master on the road!
He rushed through the arch in three or two steps, stepping into the shadows to the north of the arch.
In front of me are the vast mountains intertwined with light and darkness in the setting sun, and the cool mountain breeze blows through the lush and shady vegetation, making a wonderful and chaotic sound.
Down the hillside, the two crows turned and fled the moment they saw him.
Lao Dongran saw at a glance the corpse of the commander under his command with a collapsed chest and a broken head, but there was no second person near the corpse except for an ownerless white horse.
Frightened, Captain Wan looked around sharply, the mountain wall was so steep and smooth that even he himself could not climb it in a short time.
The reason why he ignored the black crow at the top of the mountain wall was because the whip was beyond his reach, and with only twenty hunting crossbows, he could not stop his brigade of men and horses.
Did you climb up by a rope?
Lao Dongran remembered the cold stumbling rope and quickly dispelled this idea.
He shifted his gaze back from the mountain wall to the hillside beneath his feet and took a cautious step forward.
Lao Dongran's 3,000 people invaded south through this arch, and they also easily collected and burned more than 1,000 Diqi who died here, and traces of concentrated burning can still be seen at the bottom of the slope.
Judging from the sword wounds on the warriors' bodies, it was obvious that the girl in green clothes in the mass ghetto had done it, and most of the corpses had their ears cut off in humiliation, which was obviously the work of these damn black crows.
Hatred can't drown out Lao Dongran's reason, he turned his thoughts, and at the same time fiercely suppressed the anger that burned more and more, without this mind, he couldn't become a grandmaster at all, let alone a captain.
He took another step, and suddenly the sound of a continuous bowstring sounded above his head, and at the same time, the white horse below suddenly put on a black coat and pounced on him.
"Demon beast, the one who can control the demon beast must be a master! There is a rain of arrows above his head, and there is a demon beast in front of him, this is to drive himself back?"
Although Lao Dongran was not shocked, he expected that if he retreated into the arch, there would be danger, not only did he not retreat, but also took the initiative to hedge against the white horse.
He had already determined that his commander was killed by this horse, which shows that this demon horse must be fierce, but no matter what kind of strange means this demon horse uses to quickly kill a thousand commanders of the same realm, it will be difficult to escape death when he meets the Inspiration Grandmaster!
