Chapter 79 Chaos
The grass strodes, and the roar of insects comes to an abrupt end.
In the darkness, the bowstrings were plucking, and the arrow flew into the black, and there was a sound that was flying in the wind, pedaling... An unknown night worm had just climbed up the grass leaf, and the horse's hooves were slamming down, lifting up the mud, and three war horses ran rapidly. The figure above suddenly turned around and turned the bow back. The figure chasing behind was caught in the arrow, and then seven knights caught up and made the move to pull the bowstring.
"Be careful—" The clear and low Chinese language was shouted out at the war horse in front of him. For archery in the dark, it basically depends on hearing and luck. With the low reminder, the arrows whizzed through the air and flew over the heads they buried, "retrospecting these Xianbei fragments."
Someone roared, but another war horse came in front of him. Four or five Xianbei scouts roared fiercely, and drew their swords and slashed. At the storm, the sword light hit several times in a row. First, the Xianbei knight spurted blood from his waist and fell off his horse with a bang. The fur coat of the wolf rider who was swinging the knife was torn apart, and the bright red flowed out. In a blink of an eye, the chasing enemy attacked him and attacked him from the front and back.
"Go away--"
"Go back and report the message!"
With a loud bang, two sounds roared loudly, controlling the two war horses to meet the three Xianbei knights in front of him, and the blood and flesh made a dull loud noise. The huge impact force, the horse's body flipped directly in the air. A Han scout was directly lifted out by the impact force, and one head touched the ground. The two Xianbei scouts who collided with him were one of the horses, and when they fell to the ground, they were no longer human-shaped, with bones scattered, and flesh scattered, and sticky blood kept pouring out of their noses, spreading over their necks. The other one ran away, his feet were twisted into a single-sided rope cover, pulled by the horse, and fell gently to the ground. However, when the war horse fell down, it was pressed down directly, and there was no sound.
The wolf rider with blood on his arms slowed down and looked back. The injured wolf rider got up and yelled with blood on the corner of his mouth: "Go——" The moment the sound fell, he reached out and grabbed the Xianbei knight who was rushing over from the side, grabbed the opponent's ankle and dragged it down from the horse's back. He was also stumbled by the running war horse. Then, he rushed forward and bit the opponent's neck and started to tear it.
The six Xianbei scouts behind rushed over. The wolf rider with bloody arms gritted his teeth, turned around and grabbed the horse's belly, and ran up, drowning his companion behind him in the darkness. Soon, the sound of slashing into the flesh and blood.
"ah!"
He opened his mouth wide, and the wind blew into his mouth, trying to scream, but the sound turned into a hoarse whimper when he reached his throat, and tears blurred his vision and was blown dry by the wind.
The lonely figure goes far toward the southeast.
************************************************
In the dark night, countless pairs of footsteps slowly walked across the grassland and dragged out a long line.
The soldiers from the Gentiles were all wearing fur coats. The wind was a little cold at night. The old, weak, women and children in the White Wolf Plain protected by them were trembling all over, and only some of them wore clothes to protect the cold. However, overall, the team did not feel sad.
"Old teacher..." Stephanie walked up next to her horse, looking at the absent-minded girl, and stammered in crappy Chinese language and said some simple sentences: "...what is a man like... country... she...beautiful?"
"Beautiful..." On the horse's back, Cai Yan looked at the blonde woman, smiled on her face, and answered the other party in simple words, with a gentle voice, "From here, cross the mountains, you will enter the Han territory, where there are very good people, they are simple and kind, and when their homes are threatened, they will also pick up weapons fiercely. If you go there, you will see many cities. If you keep walking, you will find that you will never count them."
Stephanie could understand some words, but she didn't fully understand what the words meant. She stroked her golden hair and then patted her chest, "...My...'s home is also beautiful... the sun shines over... the stones seem to turn... golden... and the holy city... that's... a more beautiful place... if you can go..."
At this point, she stopped talking.
"Go to see your holy city?" When the girl looked at her, the other party was silent for a moment, his eyes were a little dim, and he trembled with his fists. Finally, Stephanie closed her eyes.
"…She ignited a fire..."
Cai Yan didn't ask, and sat quietly on the horse's back. The two of them were walking along with the horse's hooves. She understood the other party's mood because the Han Dynasty also ignited a fire.
In the deep night, everyone was still walking, quietly and nervously vigilant around him. Then a figure riding a horse ran towards the northwest. Several people in the team went up to see what was going on. After a moment, they came back here together. Cai Yan leaned his head and looked at the scout's arm, and a man who looked in his thirties was bandaging his wound. The person was talking nonstop, wiping his tears, making people feel an uneasy atmosphere spread in the team.
Soon, the strong man named Gerald and Dongfang Sheng came over with the scout.
"Stephanie, we are in trouble... The Xianbei scouts found this place, and I believe they will arrive soon and must find an easy-to-defend position to prepare."
The brother and sister here are communicating in their language. Cai Yan dismounted and looked at the scout's arm: "... Will there be any problems with his hands in the future... Will it hurt?"
"...It doesn't hurt anymore, but my brothers can't come back..." The scout didn't cry, but just gritted his teeth and said hard.
The one-armed scholar sighed, and Kongxiu was blown up by the wind, saying, "This Su Ren is the scout we sent out. His two companions were rescued from the Xianbei prisoners together. They fought with the enemy scouts several times, but they were still surrounded. The other two brothers fought for him to escape and report to us. Madam, you should make your decision."
"I...I...I can't do anything. You are the second leader. Just decide this." As the words came, Stephanie next to her turned her head and spoke in Chinese: "Teacher... we must find...high...the place...the woods are fine...they have cavalry...not on flat ground..."
Dongfang Sheng did not delay the situation and nodded: "Things are urgent, I will do it for you." Immediately, he bowed to the figure on the other side, which seemed to have no presence: "I have to take care of my wife."
Over there, Jian Shuo bowed: "Our family knows it."
Not long after, the team had already known that the Xianbei people were about to catch up. Hundreds of people went from slow to quickening their pace and ran forward. Yang Heizi asked everyone to throw away the heavy things in the team, but no one paid attention to him. For them, these belongings were all belongings.
There was a hill ahead, and there was a small piece of short forest below. Dongfang Sheng urged in front of the team: "If you enter the woods, don't worry about the Xianbei cavalry, and you can hide here, hurry up!"
The team stumbled in the night wind on the grassland, and the exhausted figure fell down. Others ran over and dragged the other person to the other side, their voices weak.
"Get up... Xianbei people are coming soon... Get up and leave..."
Noise sounded in the team. When the forest was thirty feet ahead, from a distance, on the side of the team, black shadows were spreading towards this side with firelights.
The rumbling sound of horse hooves was impossible to tell how many people were. The spotted fire dragons spread out quickly from a row, stretching out hundreds of feet away, and then rushed over. The fierce shouts showed that they were not friendly forces.
"Formation—" Gerald's voice shouted in an uneasy team.
Hundreds of Gentiles on both sides of the team ran quickly with shields, and shrouded them from their backs and held them in their hands. The sword was unsheathed. The wolf rider on Yang Heizi protected the left and right wings. He shouted: "Prepare!" Dozens of wolf riders raised their arms and pulled their longbows.
Stephanie and Jian Shuo pulled the girl and the team to run towards the forest.
Dozens of arrows flew into the dark night. In such a poor vision environment, archery was only a chance. The horse's hooves were approaching, and the wolf rider left the place to wander. Then, the rain of arrows on the opposite side was covered. Outside the tightened iron shield formation, it was like a rainstorm falling rapidly, nailing it to the shield, and some were stuck on the grass near the formation, stretching densely.
"Walk!"
Gerald emerged from the shield, yelled and cut off several feather arrows pierced on the ground, dragged his giant sword to run towards the forest. The hundred subordinates behind him raised their shields and ran. Then, they saw clearly the number of Xianbei people, only a few hundred riders.
The formation that was already close to the woods turned to the forest and raised its shield again. The hundreds of Xianbei knights who came over only divided a hundred cavalry to chase the white wolf dirtwolf cavalry that was wandering there, the remaining ones rushed straight to the shield formation and the forest behind them.
In a blink of an eye, the horse's hooves roared, pulling to zero distance.
In the forefront, the iron shield pressed into the soil, and the burly and sturdy bodies were bulging in their arms, making a hysterical roar, the next second—
Boom boom boom boom boom boom-
Dozens of war horses hit the iron shield crazily and then overturned. When the shield-holding figure was knocked down, the companion who followed him pierced the blade into the horse's neck, pulled it out, and blood stormed.
The horse struggled to kick the hoof on the ground. The Xianbei people covered in blood got up and slashed the giant sword towards him. The plasma burst out from his head. Dozens of Xianbei knights rushed in with long spears, colliding with iron shields and strong soldiers behind him. People on both sides were overturned. Then the infantry and cavalry fought together, and blood spilled all over the land in an instant.
On the other side, hundreds of cavalrymen rushed into the woods. Yang Heizi brought more than 40 wolf riders to turn around, but someone from the other side came to entangle. The two horse teams were shooting arrows in a circle in a small range, or slashing with swords. At this time, a heart-wrenching scream came from the forest, and their eyes were even red.
"Kill--" He abandoned his bow, drew his sword and roared.
Turning his head straight into the semicircle where the opponent ran out, tearing it apart in the waist...
***************************************
In the woods, blood splattered on the stalks and slowly flowed down.
The boiling fight suddenly rushed into the woods. The figures riding horses flipped off the horse and swung their swords toward the crowd inside. In the chaos, Stephanie beside the girl rushed up like a lioness with the only Gentile soldiers with sword shields and killed each other.
Several figures rushed over in front, slashing several rebellious people to death and then came to this side. Jian Shuo drew his sword and gritted his teeth: "Madam, hide behind the horse, be careful not to be shot by the stray arrow." The eunuch beside him reminded him and went up. In the darkness, sparks splashed, and a Xianbei rushing towards him was kicked over by Jian Shuo. Another sword seemed to have cut off something. Something was thrown up on the upper branch. However, a figure rushed over from the side, and the two of them immediately rolled into the black.
Cai Yan smelled the scent of blood, covered her lower abdomen and endured the feeling of rolling vomiting. She had seen such a scene that day when she came to the grassland, but it was the first time that she faced the fight like this. She touched the horse's back and stared carefully in front of her. Then, a black shadow slammed over and hit the side of the war horse, scaring the girl so much that she rushed back and leaned back against the trees. The figure bounced back and lay on the ground.
The horse was startled and kicked its hooves away. She looked at the figure on the ground anxiously. The other party then moved for a while and got up from a pile of dead leaves. It seemed as if he heard something behind him. He suddenly turned his head and faced with the girl.
The next second, the other party rushed over, and his rough palm grabbed Cai Yan's neck, lifting her up.
At that moment, the girl's mind went blank and she turned red. She remembered something in a hurry. She quickly reached out and took out a dagger in the fur coat on her waist, waved it up suddenly, and pierced it hard on the Xianbei arm.
"ah--"
The man had a dagger inserted into his arm, screaming in pain and taking two steps back. Cai Yan then fell back to the ground, covered his neck and coughed several times. The injured figure had already pounced on him. A spear pierced from the side and penetrated into the abdomen of the Xianbei soldiers. The figure rushed over and pushed the other party backwards, and finally nailed it to a tree.
Cai Yan remembers that this person was the scout before, named Su Ren.
The Xianbei soldiers who were not dead yet hooked their arms and waved them to the man. The other party shouted, "Madam... kill him soon--" The wounds were bursting in the place where the man's arm was bandaged, and blood was flowing.
Screams around, screams filled the ears and buzzed... The sound was loud, and the protected family of wolf riders around him, with golden hair stained with blood, spilling out in a mess, and the blade cut through the body that was pounced on. More than a dozen old men stood in front with sticks and chests raised, wanting to use their old bodies to exchange for young lives to survive. Looking at the blade waving, they were fearless.
"Xianbei dog thieves, Han people are constantly killing--" an old man shouted.
Cai Yan screamed with his head in his arms, possessed a dagger falling from the ground, ran over like crazy, and pulled a man named Su Ren away, and the dagger pierced into the neck of the Xianbei people.
Blood splattered on her face, hot, and then she let go of the dagger. The Xianbei man was dead. She took a step back and sat on the ground, trembling all over.
Soon, outside the forest, wolf howlings sounded one after another, and dozens of blue-gray black shadows rushed towards them, in front of them.
