The arrows are continuous, and the chasing soldiers are getting closer.
There was a scream of horses, and the horses violently stood one by one. The knight on horseback was caught off guard. Although he tried to pull the horse's rein, he fell to the ground. Everyone in front of them turned their heads and saw this. , Are all taken aback.
Only the fat man sternly said: "Lord, go!" Turning the horse's head, the steed ran back.
The old man's face changed drastically, strangling the horse, pulling out his saber, turning the horse's head around and going back to rescue, but Zhao Yi had already raised his whip and slammed the old man's buttocks severely, shouting:" The big man, hurry up."
The horse hurts and he just keeps running forward.
The others bent their bows and arrows, and shot at the chaser to cover the fat man.
The fat man returned to his horse and reached the side of his companion who had fallen off his horse. He stretched out his hand to grab it, and said in a deep voice: "Get on the horse!"
The man was about to mount the horse, but he heard a swoosh, and from the corner of his eye he saw an arrow shooting straight at the fat man. The fat man was holding the reins of the horse in one hand and his arm with the other, unable to resist the arrow. .
This person was also brave. With one step, his body threw forward and blocked the fat man. With a "poof", the arrow went straight into his back and he didn't react much yet, "poofpoof" Several times, several more arrows came, all of them hit this person.
The man shouted vigorously: "Hurry up and protect the eldest son!" He broke away from the fat man's hand, turned to face the chasing soldiers, his body swayed, but he tried his best to rush forward a few steps before he fell down. on the ground.
The fat man didn't delay, so he turned his horse's head and urged the horse to move quickly.
Qin Xiao looked back and saw the situation behind him, feeling horrified, not wanting these people to be so righteous.
The terrain at the foot of the mountain is open and suitable for cavalry shooters. Qin Xiao knows that if he goes down like this, he will be overtaken by the chasing soldiers. The opponent is crowded with great archery skills. In the end, I am afraid that he will be shot by the chasing soldiers. kill.
For a while, when I look back, I can already see the attire of the chasing soldiers. I can only hear someone exclaiming: "The old man is from Tusun. His grandmother's is a barbarian in the north."
Qin Xiao was also taken aback when he heard this.
The Tusun people live in the northern grassland. The entire northern region is divided into three parts: Mobei, Monan and Moxi. The Monan grassland directly borders the empire, and the empire has four towns on the border, collectively called the four towns of the North County. Constructed into a line of defense in the north.
There are dozens of tribes in Tusun, large and small, distributed in the desert. Among them, the tribe in Monan is the most common, and the six most powerful tribes in Tusun. Four of them are distributed in the Monan grassland. A serious threat to the empire.
Ten years ago, taking advantage of the Wutuo rebellion in Xiling and Murong's rebellion in the south, the Tusun people gathered more than 200,000 people from various ministries. They looted south, and the frontiers were devastated. One of them, a cavalry of tens of thousands, penetrated the empire. It directly threatens the safety of Kyoto.
Fortunately, General Black Feather captured Khan in the snowy night and solved Xiling’s troubles in time. The empire also gathered elites and set up an ambush, severely injuring the 10,000 cavalry army, forcing them to withdraw.
Tusun’s various ministries are based on the combination of profit. If you win steadily, you will naturally be happy and the offensive will be fiercer. However, once you encounter setbacks, internal contradictions will immediately appear, and the empire will seize the opportunity to impose The strategy of buying and splitting allowed the huge Tusun army to disperse and collapse within a short period of time, and then came back in despair.
Qin Xiao still remembers what others said that the Monan grassland was hit by a heavy snowstorm that year. Numerous deaths and injuries were caused by cattle, sheep and livestock in various departments, which made the defeated Tusun departments worse. Next, in order to save
Recovering the losses, the various ministries attacked each other and killed each other. The blood and rain in the Monan grassland continued to attack and kill for many years. Although finally calmed down, the vitality was severely injured, and until now, it has not been fully relieved.
In addition to the various tribes of the Monan Grassland who participated in the battle against the Tang Dynasty, many tribes also joined the Moxi Grassland.
Moxi’s most powerful Naiyan Tribe is an important part of the 10,000 cavalry army that penetrated into the empire. It suffered heavy losses. After returning to Moxi, the Naiyan Tribe was frustrated with the empire. Dare not step into the war against the empire.
In the north of Changling, there is the Moxi grassland.
Changling is a natural barrier to protect Xiling. Although it does not extend to Jiayuguan, there is a narrow entrance and exit at the east end of Changling, and hundreds of miles to the north are the Gobi area full of yellow sand, called the tower. Lida Gobi, in the Gobi, there are swamps everywhere. Although it is not like Changling as a natural barrier, it is also an insurmountable place for cavalry.
So Xiling people are not worried that the Tusun people in the Moxi grassland will be killed.
Qin Xiao didn't expect that the chasing soldiers who suddenly appeared tonight would be Tusun people.
Where did these Tusun people come from?
Did they cross the Great Gobi of Tali and rush into Xiling to looting?
Qin Xiao knows that this possibility is remote.
To attack Xiling, if there is no powerful cavalry regiment, then the sheep will enter the tiger’s mouth. You need to know that the Xiling gate clan is not a vegetarian. Even if there are thousands of cavalry coming in, the Xiling gate clan is enough to kill them all in a short time. .
What's more, with the Great Gobi of Tali as a barrier, it is impossible for a large army to cross it.
The Tusun people are not fools. If thousands of cavalry enter Xiling from the Great Gobi in Tali, then the Tang army in Jiayuguan will inevitably attack quickly. The Tusun cavalry with weak logistics can only become the joint forces of the Tang army and the Xiling gate lords. Archery target for attack.
So Qin Xiao really imagined in Henan, where did these dozens of Tusun cavalry come from? And why do they have to chase the eldest son?
The horns, bows and spears of those people are clearly visible, like wolves and tigers, in addition to the sound of "swishing" arrows, but also the sound of their shouts.
There was a scream from behind, and everyone turned their heads, and saw that one of his subordinates was shot to the ground. At this time, the group of Tusun cavalry was getting closer and everyone knew that if it was this time Rescue, not only is absolutely impossible to rescue the companion, on the contrary, he must die under chaotic arrows.
"Don't be together, separate!" The old man suddenly said loudly.
When he said this, everyone under him immediately understood that there were three horses galloping to the south, and Fatty and Zhao Yi followed the old man and continued to go west.
Sure enough, the eldest son was divided into two groups, and the Tusun people immediately separated a team of men and horses, chasing after the three horses rushing to the south.
It's just that there are twenty or thirty cavalry behind him.
"Grandpa, so they will catch up sooner or later." Qin Xiao hugged Grandpa's waist at the back: "Moreover, they are good at arrows. We can't keep running like this and go up the mountain. When they reach the mountain, they just It's hard to chase us."
When he heard the words, he didn't hesitate. He made a decisive voice and said loudly: "Fat fish, Zhao Yi, go up the mountain!" A cart of horses with reins, really galloped towards the mountain.
Fat Yu and Zhao Yi immediately understood, and both drove their horses to the mountain, and soon the three horses rushed into the forest.
The Tusun people screamed, and they all turned their horses to chase the mountain.
The Changling mountain forest is not only steep, but also dense with vines. It is naturally impossible for a horse to be in the mountain forest. When entering the mountain forest, the eldest son and others immediately turned over and dismounted. At this time, regardless of the horse's life and death, they quickly ran up the mountain.
The Tusun people are called Ma Si. Obviously, he did not expect that the eldest son and his party would hide in the mountains. The position was a little messy, but it soon calmed down. All the Tusun cavalry were dismounted, drawn out their sabers, and scattered. Come on, and quickly chase up to the mountain.
The three of them all put away their knives, with their long bows in their hands, and hid behind the trees. Qin Xiao followed the old man closely and took the fish intestines into his hands.
The old man was a little surprised when he saw that Qin Xiao had taken a strange short blade in his hand, but he didn't say much.
"Master, fifteen steps to the right." Qin Xiao said in a low voice.
It’s already dark, and the mountains and forests are pitch-dark. He has to face the beast-like Tusun people. Qin Xiao knows that in this situation, the five senses must be sharp enough to take the lead, so when he goes up the mountain, it’s already Take the opportunity to swallow a blood pill.
At this time, his eyesight was amazing, and the old man had not found the situation. He had already seen a Tusun soldier emerge.
At this reminder, the eldest son was immediately alert, bent his bow and set an arrow, and followed the place Qin Xiao pointed out. He saw the Tusun soldier sneaking up, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, without hesitation. , With a sound of "swish", the sharp arrow pierced the air with great speed, and the sound of "puff" hit the center of the eyebrow of the Tusun soldier, and the arrow technique was really accurate.
The exclamation of Tusun soldiers suddenly sounded nearby, and the fat fish over there heard the sound to distinguish their position, and immediately shot an arrow, heard a scream, and also shot a person.
Qin Xiao secretly admired in his heart, thinking that the old man and the people under his hands are really not a bunch of wine bags and rice bags, and the skill in his hands is really not bad.
The eldest son received Qin Xiao's reminder, shot one person, refreshed, patted Qin Xiao on the shoulder, and whispered: "Go up the mountain." He took Qin Xiao and continued walking up the mountain.
Tusun Soldier's shooting skills are also extremely good. It seems that he noticed the movement, and immediately two arrows shot over. Fortunately, the eldest son and Qin Xiao walked in coquettish positions and both escaped.
In the beginning, the two sides used bows and arrows as weapons. The eldest son relied on Qin Xiao’s amazing vision. Whenever Qin Xiao pointed out the location and immediately shot, four soldiers of Tusun were killed under the arrows of the father. It's getting tighter and tighter, and the deeper the forest, the trees are more luxuriant, and bows and arrows are hard to come in handy.
The old man shot a few arrows again, but they were blocked by trees, and the Tusun soldiers were more careful, and no one shot.
Fat Yu and Zhao Yi were a few steps away from the old man on the left and right, and slowly withdrew, and led Tusun soldiers into the depths of Maolin. At this time, they also knew that the bow and arrow were too weak, and they were all drawn. The saber is in hand.
The Tusun soldiers were scattered in the forest, but they obviously knew that the eldest son and others were not easy to deal with. The three of them worked as a team to cover each other.
The big young man took a big tree as a cover, Qin Xiao probed forward and said in a low voice: "Big young man, there are three people over there approaching here, and we are still ten steps away. They They all have knives, no bows and arrows."
The old man nodded slightly and looked left and right. Zhao Yi and Fat Yu also looked at the old man. The old man made a simple and clear gesture. The few people obviously train often on weekdays, and they immediately understand The meaning of the old man's gesture was nodded, and the cat moved out from behind the tree, outflanking it left and right.
