Chapter 20 Encounter
"Gao—Gao—"
The earth is trembling, and the thunder in the distance can be heard from afar, making people feel dull.
Xu Buling ran for more than twenty miles towards Taiyuan with two hundred light cavalry. Along the way, he encountered a large number of people fleeing south. The official road was almost blocked and could only travel east from the fields. He saw the eagles passing by in the sky. Xu Buling secretly said something was wrong and said:
"The Northern Qi Pioneer Army is too fast, not going to Taiyuan but Jinzhong. If we run again, we will run head-on."
The plain is endless, and the nightingale can see the smoke and dust at the end of the sky, and said in a deep voice: "Not only ten thousand people can make such a big move. If you run so fast, you must know the defenses around Taiyuan..."
Chen Da followed behind with anger: "There must be an inner supporter. How could he be hit in so quickly when he went to Ningwu Pass to Taiyuan to be stationed in tens of thousands of troops? Now he will definitely be surrounded by going to Taiyuan. What should we do?"
Xu Buling thought for a while and turned around and said, "Xiao Qi must have already started the ship. We will turn to Liujiabao. The terrain of Liujiabao is desolate and the Qi army will not go there. We are waiting for the boat to come downstream. When the horse is abandoned, the Qi army will take a boat without a navy. It will be safe if it gets on the boat."
Everyone nodded and turned around and headed towards Liujiabao.
Without running far on the snow field, Nightingale suddenly flew up and stood on her horse, took out Xiao Xianger's monocular lens from her waist and looked at the smoke and dust in the distance:
"Young Master, a team of light cavalry chased after him on the right, with more than 400 people, and the horses were very fast, so our war horses couldn't run away."
Zhu Manzhi had never fought a war, so he took the old woman to speed and looked around and said, "I know a path..."
Xu Buling raised his hand: "There are eagles in the sky, and they cannot be shaken off unless they are drilled under the ground."
Kou Meng walked beside Xu Buling and thought for a while: "General Chen, the body of Prince Su's daughter must not fall into the hands of the barbarians of Northern Qi, otherwise we will cut off the rear..."
Xu Buling raised his hand and said, "After breaking, there are countless thousands of people behind him, even if he put a long snake formation, he can't stop him. He will accelerate his march."
"promise!"
When Chen Da heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Xu Bulingzhen ordered them to cut off the rear, so he really could not disobey his orders, otherwise he would not be able to escape death if he returned alive.
More than 200 horses galloped south. Although Xu Buling and Nightingale's horse could get rid of the pursuers, Chuchu and Manzhi's horse were not very good, and their speed was similar to that of the border army's war horses. It was impossible for Chuchu to throw off Manzhi and escape alone, and could only run with more than 200 people.
However, in order to fight a blitzkrieg with a blitzkrieg, the vanguard army almost rode the best horses that Mobei could find. After chasing over 400 cavalry, they were obviously elite. The speed of the horse was almost the same as the snow-planted horse that was one in a hundred miles away. In just one quarter of an hour, they showed their figure from the snow field and galloped from the side.
"Prepare to catch the enemy!"
Seeing that he was about to be caught up, Chen Da took off the bow and arrow from the side of the horse without hesitation. The two hundred light cavalry behind him were neat and uniform, obviously all of them were veterans who had fought small-scale encounters.
Xu Buling observed the distance. When both sides approached, they would start shooting arrows. The border army's bows and arrows were no joke. More than 400 people shot, and it was difficult to worry about the scattered arrows flying around. He quickly spoke:
"Nightinging, take them to Liujiabao first, and I will clear the pursuers."
Nightingale nodded, immediately took Song Yufu to speed up the horse and left the team.
Although Zhu Manzhi was a little worried, her three-legged cat kung fu could only fight ordinary people in the world, and she couldn't even defend against bows and arrows, so she could only follow the Nightingale nervously.
The old woman had already seen a large group of soldiers rushing over, but she didn't care about her son at the first time, but said anxiously: "Shengzi! You can't let your benefactor get into trouble. You are the best at fighting. Don't be bad at this time..."
Kou Meng took off the red tassel spear from the side of the horse: "Don't worry, if I die today, someone will take care of you, I won't be bad."
Although Ning Qingye was not considered a master, his martial arts skills were definitely not low. It was fine to fight an ordinary border army and he did not keep up at this time, but instead ran to Xu Buling with the sword that Xu Buling gave him.
Zhongli Chuchu was originally following Nightingale, but she wanted to run over to help when she saw this, but Nightingale scolded her: "Qi Jun is wearing iron armor, your flying knife and poison needle are useless, follow me honestly."
"I……"
Zhongli Chuchu followed Zhongli Jiujiu, just learning how to become beautiful, and his martial arts were just one little taller than Manzhi. He could not fight between the two armies and lost the Dragon Lock Gu. At that moment, he could only say: "Young Master Xu, be careful." Then he left the horse team...
----
"shelf--"
The horse's hooves sounded like thunder, and the four hundred elite cavalry were extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, they had already arrived at the two arrows and saw clearly the two hundred Yue Qing cavalry in front of them.
The general Zhang Han, who was in charge, was one of the powerful generals under the right prince. He grew up in Mobei since childhood. His father and barbarian women intermarried, resulting in impure bloodlines, a rather rough appearance, and no good education as well as a family. He had long become the same as the barbarians. He had long hair tied into small braids, holding a slutch of more than thirty pounds in his hand, and rushed to the front with his horse.
The deputy general walked beside him and saw three horses leaving the team in front of him. The women in skirts were sitting on it. He quickly said, "General, they want to abandon the car to protect the coach and take their families to run away first. What should I do?"
Zhang Han naturally saw it and said angrily: "The two hundred heads do not need to be punished by this general. The prince has told him to capture the aristocratic family in Taiyuan, which will be of great use. Send a team of people to go around from the side and continue chasing them. We will first deal with these two hundred people..."
While he was talking, the deputy general's eyes suddenly froze and he raised his hand: "Be careful, the opponent will not escape!"
Zhang Han paused and looked up, and found that the two hundred deserters in front turned in a uniform manner and began to turn back. They were all experienced for a long time, so what they were going to do was clearly visible.
Zhang Han was stunned for a moment, and then a little arrogance and surprise appeared in his eyes: "I didn't expect that there were real men among the cowards in the south. Draw their swords! Blast me over them!"
"kill!"
Qi Jun, who had just raised his bow and arrow, saw that the opponent was back and the distance was too close and arrived in a flash. If he shot the arrow again and could not shoot, it would easily hurt his own people. He pulled out four hundred battle knives from his waist, grabbed the horse's belly without any evasion, and directly hedged it.
The plain is very empty, and it is suitable for horse fighting. Four hundred elite soldiers of the Northern Qi Dynasty were about to make a concerted effort to push the group of deserters who were mantis armed with a chariot. Unexpectedly, they suddenly saw a white-robed young man rushing out from the horse team in front of them and rushed over with a single sword. The horse was so fast that it was so scary that it was so fast that it threw the two hundred cavalry behind it far away in an instant.
Zhang Han was slightly stunned, and said with a big halberd, "This guy can't surrender to the enemy. Don't kill him. See, he is the leader. He is so brave..."
The remaining Qi army was also a little shocked. The cavalry relied on the protection of heavy armored horse armor and invulnerable swords and guns. The man on the opposite side rushed out and was wearing a cloth robe. The weapons he was holding were not big swords used in the battle formation. They were as slender as noodles. They probably broke in one charge. Is this a young man who has never been on the battlefield, and he is fighting to die with all his passion?
Not only did the soldiers from Northern Qi think so, but Dayue's side is also similar.
Xu Buling suddenly ordered a turn to catch the enemy. Chen Da was a little impressed. Anyway, he couldn't escape and was caught up from behind. If he wanted to turn around and rush, he would have no chance. It would be better to fight quickly. The two hundred people under his command were also considered elite troops of the border army. Although the horses were worse than those of the Northern Qi Dynasty, they were not bad. They were all light cavalry, and fighting for 200 to 400 was not without a chance.
