Chapter 95
Under the joint attack of the crowd, the second wave of attacks of the Khitan cavalry was repelled, but it also paid a considerable price. Gao Bufan died and one injured on the side, Cui Hu was even more severe, three died and seven injured on the side, including Cui Hu himself, and his morale was hit in an instant.
After all, the servants of the Flying Eagle Race Farm participated in the battle to encircle and suppress the bandit Zhang Jincheng, and had killed people and saw blood, so they were in a stable mood. They were just sad and angry and carried the dead and injured to the back for resettlement and treatment.
The situation on Cui's side was much more chaotic. Seven injured people fell in pools of blood and screamed and moaned in pain. The three dead were still lying there, no one dared to move. Looking at the strangely tragic, the children of Cui's family were pale and their eyes were showing fear. Some were even trembling, and they almost couldn't even control their weapons.
Seeing this, Gao Bufan couldn't help but secretly complain. If the Cui family continued to do this, they would probably not be able to withstand the next attack of the Khitan cavalry. They rushed over and ordered: "Release the injured person behind immediately to stop the bleeding and bandage him." They took off their outer clothes and covered one of the dead.
The Cui family's children were already confused. When they heard Gao Bufan's calm and calm instructions, they woke up and carried the injured behind them for treatment with seventy-eight feet. The three dead were also carried down and covered their heads and faces with clothes.
"Brother Cui, are you okay?" Gao Bufan asked with concern.
Cui Hu's left shoulder was scratched by sharp arrows, and blood continued to flow. At this moment, his hands covering the wound were covered with blood, and his sleeves were soaked. He gritted his teeth and said, "I can't die yet. Changqing doesn't have to worry about me, beware of the Khitans coming to attack."
"No, too much blood flows, and the horse will stop bleeding!" Gao Bufan said without saying anything, tore off Cui Hu's clothes, took out a pill given by Yu Juluo, crushed it and scattered it on the wound. It has to be said that the effect of this medicine is indeed magical, and it stopped the blood at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Gao Bufan was happy when he saw this, and quickly bandaged the wound, and sighed and said, "It should be nothing serious!"
Cui Hu was both grateful and ashamed: "Thank you Changqing, I can't help, but it's causing trouble."
"Don't say that. I'm going to take care of Brother Cui along the way!" Gao Bufan said righteously.
At this time, the Gao Shixiong brothers suddenly shouted loudly: "Boss Changqing, it seems that the Khitans are going to attack again."
Everyone was shocked. Looking down the hillside, they saw the Khitan cavalry walking around, and this time they were not divided into two teams, but into multiple teams. Gao Shiheng frowned and scolded: "Zhi Niang, what are these Khitan dogs doing? Are they placing troops?"
Xu Song said with a serious expression: "No, the Khitans may have planned to divide their troops into multiple groups and attack the back of the hillside. If this is true, it will be even more difficult for us to defend."
"This is possible!" Gao Bufan nodded calmly, pointed to the Khitan cavalry who was calling out for something, saying, "That guy should be their leader."
"That's right, that man is a centurion and is assigning tasks to his subordinates. They are indeed planning to go around the hillside and attack. Everyone should be careful!" Cui Hu came over at some point and reminded with a pale face.
"Hey, can Brother Cui understand Khitan language?" Gao Bufan said in surprise.
Cui Hu nodded and said, "I can barely understand a little. I have had many interactions with the Khitans, so I learned some daily terms."
Gao Bufan suddenly said, "So that's it. By the way, Brother Cui has a three-stone strong bow?"
Cui Hu shook his head and said, "I can't use the three stone bow, and no one under my command can do it. What's the use of bringing it... Hey, is Changqing trying to shoot and kill the Khitan centurion?"
Gao Bufan nodded and said, "As the saying goes, shoot a horse first, capture the thief first, capture the king first. If he can kill the centurion, maybe this Khitan cavalry will retreat on its own, but the distance is a bit far, almost four hundred steps, and it will take three stone bows."
Cui Hu's eyes lit up, and he shook his head regretfully and said, "It turns out that Changqing can still use the three stone bow, which is amazing, but unfortunately there is no three stone strong bow at the moment!"
"I have it!" A sound of a yellow oriole coming out of the valley suddenly sounded behind him. When everyone turned around, they couldn't help but look surprised.
At this moment, it was Gongsun Yingxiu, who was standing behind everyone. Under the sunset west, she looked like a fairy in the divine concubine, making people shook her mind, as if even the crisis in front of her was temporarily thrown away. This woman was so pleasing to the eye and was definitely at the level of beauty.
The maid who was dressed in a strong costume held a long sword in her hand to protect Gongsun Yingxiu. She was full of heroism and was obviously a trainer, but she didn't know how good she was.
Gao Bufan's heart moved and said in surprise: "I have heard that Gongsun is a great sword dancer, but I didn't expect that he could even use three stone hard bows. Gongsun is indeed hidden!
Gongsun Yingxiu covered her mouth and chuckled: "Young Master Gao misunderstood. Although I have a three-stone strong bow, it was given by someone else. I only use it as decorations on weekdays and have never used it."
Gongsun Yingxiu covered her mouth and smiled instantly, and instantly shook the eyes of many people present. Gao Bufan couldn't help but feel dazed and sighed that this woman's appearance was indeed too evil, and her every frown and smile was so charming, and it was very natural and not artificial at all.
"So that's it. Where is this bow? Please borrow it for use!" Gao Bufan bowed and said politely.
Gongsun Yingxiu pointed down the hillside with a little regret, "In that carriage, I was in a hurry to escape just now, but I didn't have time to get it. There were some musical instruments that I usually use, music scores, etc. in the car!"
Everyone was disappointed when they heard this. There were hundreds of Khitan cavalry under the hillside, with strong bows and sharp arrows, and quick horses. At this time, running down the hillside to get the bow is undoubtedly equivalent to death. I am afraid that the bow will not be obtained by then and the person will be shot into a hedgehog.
Gao Bufan looked as usual, and he set up a pergola with his hands to measure the distance of the carriage. Gao Shixiong said in dismay: "Boss Changqing, don't you really want to go down and get the bow, right?"
Cui Hu also quickly advised: "It's too dangerous, Changqing must not take risks."
Gao Bufan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything I'm not sure about. By the way, Brother Cui, have we brought a lot of iron pots? Take them out for everyone to use as shields, and make some tea and clothes to mix and light them. The bigger the smoke, the better!"
Cui Hu's eyes lit up and he said, "Changqing has a good idea. This place should not be too far from Liucheng. When the garrison there sees Yanzhu, they may come to check it out. It's great, just do it."
Soon, dozens of iron pots were taken up, and someone lit a bag of tea, threw a few old clothes into the fire, and thick black smoke rose into the sky.
Gongsun Yingxiu couldn't help but look brilliant and said to himself: "This boy is indeed extremely smart, no wonder Changsun Sheng favors him."
At this time, the Khitans under the horse slope obviously became anxious when they saw Yanzhu soaring into the sky. The centurion led by the leader shouted with a knife. The Khitan cavalry rushed towards the hillside in a turbulent manner, and divided into four teams, each team about thirty cavalry, two of which attacked from the front, while the other two teams circled behind the hillside.
"Prepare to fight!" Gao Bufan calmly shouted, staring at the carriage at the foot of the mountain like an eagle. Half of the Khitan cavalry divided the people around the back of the hillside, and the troops on the front were reduced by half. It was obviously a great opportunity to go down the mountain to get the three stone bow.
The Khitan centurion seemed to be very afraid of Gao Fuxian's archery skills, so he had been commanding the battle far away from the range of the bow and arrow, otherwise it would not be so troublesome!
At this time, the two teams of Khitan cavalry attacking from the front were approaching the foot of the hillside, and they still used their previous tactics to rush towards the hillside obliquely, leaving a large gap between horses, leaning on their waists and holding a bow, and only riding their horses with their legs.
"Shoot the arrow!" Gao Bufan ordered decisively, and everyone on the mountain shot arrows out, which was indeed as little as last time.
As the first wave of arrows shot down on the mountain, the Khitan cavalry also began to fight back. As soon as they raised their hands, the sharp arrows were shot up. The accurate head and strength were not comparable to those of the children of the Cui family and the servants of the Feiying Horse Farm. After all, they have been immersed in this way since childhood.
Seeing the Khitan cavalry fired arrows, Gao Bufan didn't need to give instructions. The people in the front row raised the iron pot one after another, and there was a jingle of jingling. The sharp arrows shot on the bottom of the pot, but they failed to cause damage.
When the children of the Cui family saw that the iron pot was effective, their confidence increased greatly and their morale increased again. They shot arrows and fought back. Those without bows picked up stones and smashed them hard. For a moment, the Khitan cavalrymen ran away with their heads in their arms. Gao Bufan also took the opportunity to shoot three arrows in a row and shot three again. Xu Song also shot one, and Gao Shixiong was injured.
"Hey, the Khitans are too poor. Their arrows are made of wolf teeth, otherwise our iron pot might not be able to withstand it." Gao Shiheng laughed proudly.
At this moment, a green shadow suddenly rushed down the mountain like a lightning. Everyone looked closely and realized that Gao Bufan was riding a big green horse!
"Ah!" Everyone on the hillside burst into tears almost at the same time.
The Khitan cavalry on the hillside were also stunned for two seconds before they could react. At this time, Gao Bufan had already rushed to the half slope with a big green horse. Several fast-reacting Khitan cavalry immediately shot arrows. The big green horse made a loud neigh, and its speed increased by several points. Several sporadic arrows fell behind its butt.
"Stop him!" The Khitan centurion thought that Gao Bufan was going to take the opportunity to break through, so he shouted loudly.
The Khitan cavalry nearest the two cavalry immediately rushed towards him, rode their horses and raised their swords, and screamed with a ferocious face. In short, Gao Bufan couldn't understand what they were calling, probably because they were swearing words like "Shizakh-woman".
Zheng...
The long sword was unsheathed, and the green shadow flashed by with the sword light. The big green horse carried Gao Bufan through the middle of the two Khitan cavalry. The two heads then flew up into the sky, and the two blood splashed into the air, as if dyeing the sun setting in the west red. The picture was full of a violent beauty.
Two Khitan horses rushed to the half slope with two headless corpses gushing blood, and then they fell down with a bang. At this time, the two heads thrown into the air fell to the ground one after another and rolled down to the bottom of the mountain!
