The land in Hebei is as flat as a mirror, making it a paradise for galloping horses.
But at this moment, Zuo Mengeng and the others were about to cry but had no tears.
The terrain is peaceful, so horses can gallop freely, but they can't escape the pursuers.
Especially since there was another person picking up a ride right away, which affected the speed even more.
Wait, where are the people?
Why is there no movement?
Zuo Mengeng glanced down and found that the girl lying on the saddle was silent, only her body swayed slightly with the bumps.
"You're not going to die, are you?"
"You can't speak... ugh... ah..."
The girl vomited and felt nauseous.
There are people who get car sick, there are people who get seasick, and now there are people who get horse sick.
"Be patient."
Zuo Mengeng had no choice but to comfort him like this.
"I...I'm going to die."
Zuo Mengeng had no time to care about her.
"Can't die."
But when had the girl ever suffered like this? She felt that Zuo Mengeng was deliberately targeting her and couldn't help but muttered: "Du Lu."
Zuo Mengeng was stunned, thinking she was speaking some kind of dialect. Although he didn't understand it, he knew it wasn't a good word.
He couldn't help but grit his teeth and slapped her on the butt.
"If you dare to scold me again, I will throw you to the thieves."
A girl's butt can be touched casually?
"Ah... little bastard, you have a death quota!"
This time he still cursed, but without any power. Zuo Mengeng pursed his lips and smiled. Just as he was about to respond, Zuo Rong's anxious voice came.
"Master, the thieves are surrounding us."
Zuo Mengeng looked around and realized that the bandits had split up their forces at some point. A group of knights had taken a shortcut and blocked their way forward.
There are pursuers behind and interceptions in front. If you are not careful, you may end up here.
At the critical moment, Zuo Mengeng showed his murderous intent.
"Rush over."
Zuo Rong and Zuo Hua took the order, accelerated at the same time, and stood in front of Zuo Mengeng.
When the fight was about to begin, Zuo Mengeng didn't dare to neglect, so he grabbed and released the girl. The girl who was originally lying on the saddle suddenly came behind him and finally sat up.
After another ride on the windmill, the girl’s eyes were full of stars.
"Don't you want to join forces again?"
Seeing the enemy getting closer and closer, Zuo Mengeng had no time to pay attention to her and shouted: "Hold on tight, I won't save you if you fall."
The girl was so frightened that she quickly wrapped her arms around his waist without having time to think about it.
The breath of heterosexual arousal hit her face, but it didn't cause any ripples. Because the girl also saw the thief charging towards her with a machete in front of her.
Without the girl in front of him, Zuo Mengeng drew out his long sword and fixed his gaze firmly on the enemy rushing in front of him.
At this moment, his mind was completely empty.
The deafening sound of horse hooves is gone, the sharp and cruel roar is gone, and the warm and fragrant nephrite behind is no longer felt.
He held the knife tightly, his eyes only narrow.
In a flash of lightning, the two groups of people collided.
Zuo Mengeng didn't have time to think about anything. He could only draw out and retract the sword as he usually practiced. Then he opened his eyes wide and tried to block any attack on himself.
The time seems very long, but it also seems very fast.
My eyes suddenly became empty, and there was nothing left.
"Master, let's go."
Zuo Rong slowed down his horse, and this time he fell behind Zuo Mengeng, and dutifully broke up.
Horse fighting is definitely not a turn-based game where you come and go.
The greatest weapon of the cavalry is actually speed.
With the help of the thunderous power of the war horse, the enemy was overwhelmed in one fell swoop and the combat objective was accomplished.
As for two parties riding on horses, you attack, I block, then I attack, you block, etc...
I'm sorry, the director lied to you.
Even if you use a machete to fight on horseback, most of them are not chopping.
Only unarmored nomads will use this style of play, which is very efficient.
But facing the fully armored Ming cavalry, would you try to chop them down?
It's almost impossible to cut through armor.
When facing armored cavalry, the best weapons are long and heavy weapons such as spears or maces.
If it's a machete, the best way is to wipe it.
When the two riders were crossing each other, they looked for the opportunity and struck the opponent's unprotected area.
Note, this is not a prick.
If stabbed, the weapon will easily get stuck and cannot be pulled out.
If you paddle, you will just go with the flow. Regardless of success or failure, at least you will still have room to protect your own safety.
Under normal circumstances, when the cavalry is charging, they can basically only attack once. In the remaining time, how to block the random attacks and survive the charge is the top priority of the cavalry.
The horse is so fast, and often the horse has already rushed over before you can hit the person with your sword.
This is the case for Zuo Mengeng.
The first attack was fast and poisonous, directly wiping the neck of a horse bandit. Then he blocked the machete to the left, and occasionally used the knife. After rushing past, he was panting from exhaustion.
There was a sharp stabbing pain under the ribs. When I reached out and touched it, there was blood all over it. It was obvious that I had been stabbed. There was also a cut on my left arm, which was as deep as the bone.
Looking at Zuo Rong and Zuo Hua, they were not much better, both were injured.
However, their results were very gratifying, as they knocked down ten knights.
But there are too many enemies, and if they continue to fight, they will definitely have no way to survive.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of the enemy's cavalry to circle around, the three of them increased their horse speed to the extreme and ran wildly.
Having killed so many thieves has aroused their ferocity, and they are obviously not ready to give up.
The two groups started chasing and escaping again on the desolate land.
The dust and smoke are billowing, the wind is as cold as a knife, and the bright red setting sun seems to indicate the danger of this land.
This run took more than an hour.
Zuo Mengeng didn't have time to stop treating the wound, and he didn't know how much blood he had lost. He always felt groggy and seemed like he couldn't hold on any longer.
Fortunately, the girl behind me was very well behaved during this period and didn't cause any trouble again.
I can still endure these things, but Ma can't.
The three horses were steaming with sweat, and they were covered in glistening sweat from beginning to end. If they kept running any longer, they would probably die from exhaustion.
"Master, there is a small bridge ahead."
Zuo Mengeng perked up and looked around quickly.
Not far ahead, there is a small river that has dried up. It has not been dry for a long time, and the river bed is full of mud.
There is a small wooden bridge across the river, which can only allow two horses to pass side by side.
Finally finding hope of survival, Zuo Mengeng hurriedly said: "Cross the bridge."
Three riders, one in front and two behind, stopped running after crossing the bridge.
Zuo Rong and Zuo Hua took their bows and arrows from their saddles and stood guard by the bridge.
The bandits came after them, and as soon as they stepped onto the bridge, they were shot down with one arrow each.
The rest of the bandits were frightened and retreated one after another, far away from the wooden bridge, but they did not leave.
After a while, twenty riders separated from the bandits and headed off into the distance.
Everyone knew that they were looking for another way. Once they got around, Zuo Mengeng and the others would still be dead.
"Master, what should I do?"
Zuo Hua was anxious.
"Brother, why don't you take the young master and leave first, and I will take the lead."
This bridge is currently the only passage, but as soon as they let go, the bandits will rush over immediately and continue to pursue them.
Zuo Hua obviously planned to sacrifice himself to buy time for Zuo Mengeng to escape.
Zuo Rong looked at his younger brother's young face and burst into tears, so he decided to do it.
Zuo Mengeng said: "Set fire and burn the bridge."
He had already gotten off the horse. The two wounds were torturing him and he was shaking. If the girl hadn't had some conscience to support him, he wouldn't have been able to hold on any longer.
Zuo Rong and Zuo Hua were very upset when they heard about the burning of the bridge.
Why didn't you think of this method?
At that moment, the two divided the work, Zuo Rong guarded the bridge, and Zuo Hua ran around to search for firewood.
Zuo Mengeng slowly sat on the ground, trying to regain more strength.
The girl was always by his side. Seeing that his stomach and arms were bleeding, she gritted her teeth, suddenly tore off two hems of her skirt, and began to bandage him.
Only then did Zuo Mengeng have the opportunity to take a closer look at the rescued girl.
But I saw a white silk jacket with a whole body, densely embroidered with gold thread on the skirt, and a mink cloak on the outside.
The girl with flaming red mink hair has eyebrows like smoke, a face like jade, a cherry mouth that is not dotted but crimson, a straight nose that is not full but moist. Her eyes are full like the waves of the West Lake, and her temples are like a waterfall in Mount Lu.
There is nothing that is not exquisite and there is nothing that is not graceful.
Zuo Menggeng lived in the Liaodong Army and faced rough men fighting every day. He had never seen such a figure in a painting.
For a moment, I couldn't help but feel a little crazy.
The girl was quietly stopping the bleeding and bandaging him, but she felt something strange and raised her head, just in time to catch his stunned expression. She immediately turned red without makeup and was extremely embarrassed.
"Bah, I'm doing this."
It's obviously meant to curse, but the soft words can only add to the ecstasy.
