Chapter 1 The Big Thief (Six Times) When it was almost noon, Wu Heita finally understood why Zhang Liang put so much effort into the silly boy Li Xu. The moment he broke through the Turkic team just now, he saw at least two warriors.
The scimitar that was swept off the horse by Li Xu was ridiculously long, sharp, and had weird moves. It was like a black dragon emerging from the water. Blood splattered everywhere it passed, and there was no way anyone could fight back.
Chance
"Who did you learn the sword technique from?" Wu Heitao asked in a high voice, taking advantage of the moment when the pressure in front of him diminished.
"Ah?" Li Xu yelled hoarsely, not hearing what the other party was asking. The tense situation made his hands and feet numb. It was as if a needle was hanging above the bridge of his nose, pricking him back and forth.
"Who is your master?" Wu Heitai repeated loudly. The first wave of Turkic cavalry blocking the front has been dispersed. The horse thieves are expected to win. Guarding the left wing is Liu Hongji, and guarding the right wing is Niu Xiu.
The leader of Dazhai is Liu Jizhen. With the three of them and dozens of brothers here, the Turks can't even take back a single war horse.
"Coppersmith!" Li Xu's answer was concise and to the point.
"Silly boy, what's the last name of the coppersmith?" Wu Hei was so angry that his nose was crooked. He had never seen such a stupid person in his life, but this stupid man's sword skills were obviously taught by a veteran on the battlefield.
, the angle and force control of the attack have to some extent surpassed that of an "old" swordsman like him who has cut down dozens of people.
"Master Coppersmith? Maybe his surname is Wang! I'm not sure either!" Li Xu replied with a gasp. He didn't expect the Turkic cavalry to chase them so fast, let alone that the Turks were so brave that they dared to intercept the fast horse head-on.
The impact of a group of 527 war horses is no joke. Anyone on either side of the enemy who falls off his horse will definitely be trampled to pieces by the horses' hooves.
"Maybe the surname is Wang? Are you stupid or am I stupid!" Wu Heitai Qiqiao Shengyan really wanted to give Li Xu a fork from behind and help this heartless guy find his way to learn other people's martial arts without asking his master.
’s name, are there any such disrespectful people in this world?
Soon, he no longer had the energy to scold Li Xu. The Turks were going crazy, closing the gap they had just opened in front of them desperately. This was definitely not a normal method of warfare. The fight between horse thieves and cavalry on the grassland was
What often happens, in hundreds of years of life and death struggle, both sides have accumulated enough experience. According to common sense, the best tactic to deal with horse thieves is not to intercept them head-on, unless your soldiers are ten times more experienced than the other party. Generals with more experience are like cutting cheese.
Similarly, cutting up the horse thieves team piece by piece from the flanks. Although this will let some enemies go, it can intercept the dirt to the greatest extent and greatly reduce the casualties on one's own side.
However, the Turkic general who led the team to intercept the horse thieves today did the opposite, abandoning both wings and dispatching his soldiers in waves to block the front of the team.
"Grandma, it's evil!" Wu Heita stabbed the iron fork with a flat end directly into the throat of a warrior with a wolf head tattooed on his chest. Then he swung the iron fork at the speed of his horse and threw the enemy's body high into the air.
He is a person who plays a role similar to that of a team leader. Killing him should have the effect of disrupting the enemy's command.
"Ah!" The Turkic soldiers who rushed forward exclaimed. The formation dispersed, but quickly gathered together. To Wu Heita's expectation, they did not avenge their superiors, but rushed to Li Xuju.
past
"Grandma, don't bully the child!" Wu Heitai shouted, tilting the direction of the horse's head. During the high-speed running, he could not support Li Xu laterally and could only keep the direction of running and the direction of Li Xu's horse's head in the same direction.
Whether Li Xu can block a round of random knives before they meet at a certain point ahead is only under the jurisdiction of King Yama, and no mortal can care about it.
"Dang!" Li Xu cut off a Turkic warrior's weapon with a long knife. When the other person was stunned, he used the blade of the knife to knock him off his horse. This was the third person he knocked off his horse today, including the day before yesterday.
He was killed at night, and now his hands were stained with the blood of five people. The pressure of killing made his stomach churn, but he could not help but continue to swing the knife. Hesitation was death. The instructions of the coppersmith master kept ringing in his ears.
He is only fifteen years old, far from the age to determine life and death.
The two Turkic cavalry closest to him suddenly changed their direction and quickly pinched a few old horse thieves under Liu Jizhen's command. Seeing that the situation was not good, they shouted loudly and moved closer to Li Xu. However, the galloping direction of the war horse could not be changed if he wanted to. He watched helplessly.
On the ground, the old horse thieves watched as the sword light covered the young man's figure.
"Ah!" Li Xu yelled. Taking advantage of the advantage of the length of the knife, he took the lead in slashing at the opponent on the left. This was a move that was completely inconsistent with cavalry tactics. The advantage of the scimitar was cutting rather than chopping. The master who used the knife immediately
Generally speaking, it is preferable to rely on the speed of the war horse to open a bloody gash on the opponent's body. The knife can be easily broken by slashing hard. Once the weapon is broken, the rider has no choice but to be slaughtered.
The Turkic warrior sneered and used his machete to pluck Li Xu's blade. He had already seen three hundred slaves waving to him. This was the latest reward offered by Ashina Choyu to everyone. The messenger blew the horn and spread the news.
The Ashina family from all the nearby tribes promised to keep this person alive no matter he was alive. If he could be caught alive, in addition to being a slave, the person who made the meritorious service would immediately be given an official position above the village level.
"Qiang!" The sound of the weapons intersecting was completely different from before. The warrior felt the change in the weight on his hands. He instinctively looked up and found that a golden light broke through the curve he had drawn with his scimitar and struck directly on the top of his head.
The head split open and blood spurted out, using the inertia of the war horse to draw a strange curve in the air. Li Xu's body rushed under the blood waterfall. He suddenly turned red and had no time to wipe the blood on his face. With the help of copper
The master craftsman turned sideways with the instinct struck by the back of the knife, and another scimitar slashed across his chest, cutting the yellow sheepskin in half shoulder to shoulder.
Li Xu didn't care to check whether he was injured, and swiped the long knife heavily on the waist of the person who passed by him. The next moment, he heard the sound of the spine breaking and turned his head. He saw it with the corner of his eye.
The second warrior's body suddenly collapsed like wheat straw struck by hailstones.
"I killed two more people!" Li Xu yelled in his heart. He had an urge to throw down his knife, leave the team and escape into the open wilderness. Fear and despair tightly bound him to the formation, making him unable to move his horse.
head tilted
The third warrior rushed up. Li Xu exchanged moves with him and threw him behind him. It took time to bring the horse back. Li Xu hoped that before the man came after him, he and his companions could rush the intercepting team out of the gap again.
There are more than 500 horses in the game. There are enough mounts for everyone to change.
"Ah!" The screams from the side and behind made Li Xu suddenly turn around. He saw a horse thief wearing sheepskin falling off his horse. The Turkic warrior who had once had a sword fight with him lifted the reins, turned his horse, and rushed toward him diagonally.
Another horse thief who already has a rival
The injured man on the ground struggled a few times, and soon the pitiful screams, which were drowned by the dust brought up by the horses' hooves, began one after another, beating Li Xu's heart.
Before he had time to regret, there was a sudden sound of wind in his ears, and he instinctively hid in a stirrup. He avoided the light of the sword and succeeded in the sneak attack. The Turkic scimitar drew a beautiful arc in mid-air, leaning diagonally.
Cut Li Xu's neck
Unable to escape, Li Xu had no choice but to extend his scimitar horizontally. The distraction just now was just a blink of an eye, but the mistake of this blink of an eye was enough to kill him. Now, all hope is pinned on the scimitar stretched horizontally.
If a Turkic warrior insists on dropping his sword, he will not be able to escape death, and his opponent will also be gutted by the scimitar.
The Turkic warrior's scimitar stopped. Suddenly, he gritted his teeth, picked up the horse's reins tightly, and struck Li Xu's neck with the scimitar desperately. He could guarantee to cut off Li Xu's head. Li Xu's scimitar stretched out
, but can only cut the neck of the war horse
"Poof!" Li Xu's eyes were blood-stained again. The scimitar near his chin suddenly flew up together with its owner. In the red dust that filled the sky, Li Xu faintly saw an iron fork carrying the Turkic warrior's sword.
The body flew into the air
The ownerless war horse rushed forward a few steps, fell to the ground, and the dead blood spurted high and scattered everywhere like spring water.
"Idiot, don't be distracted!" Wu Heitai shouted and rushed towards Li Xu with empty hands. Seeing the advantage, a Turkic warrior pointed his scimitar directly at Wu Heitai's shoulder. Seeing that one of his arms was about to be removed, Wu
Heita twisted his body, avoiding the blade, and punched his opponent in the ribs.
The Turkic warrior screamed and fell down. Wu Heita grinned and waved his fist with a golden hook hanging sideways. He picked up a scimitar from the body on the ground. He waved the scimitar and continued to charge at the stupid boy.
When I went there, I saw Li Xu opened his mouth, and his red lips revealed a set of neat white teeth.
Immediately afterwards, Li Xu, who was laughing miserably, swung his scimitar and chopped down the two Turkic warriors who were surrounding him one by one. Then, the stupid boy drove the horse's head and rushed towards the third man's scimitar. The other party did not react.
In an instant, the man's head was swept off
"Ah!" Li Xu howled like a wolf and rushed forward with all his strength. As long as the Turks were close to him, he would show no mercy. Red blood dripped from the broken leather armor on his body.
Come down, can't tell whether it's someone else's or his own
"Silly boy, control the speed and maintain the formation!" Wu Heitai yelled that Li Xucheng was rushing too fast. If he continued like this, he would be hacked to death before he could break through the Turks' blockage.
"Let's protect his left and right sides, use this as a front, blow the horn, and order other brothers to change formations!" Zhang Liang rode a black horse covered in blood and ran forward, shouting orders
Wu Heitai heard the order, touched a horn from his waist, and blew a bleak horn sound. The sound of the horn immediately covered the shouts of horses, and passed the order to the ears of every horse thief in the front. Everyone heard the sound.
Riding their horses, they quickly moved closer to where Li Xu was charging. Twenty or so people formed a sharp knife and pierced straight into the Turkic wolf rider.
Li Xu's whole body was red, only his white teeth were still shining. He screamed, waving the extra-large scimitar specially made for him by the coppersmith master like a wheel. The light rolled across the sun and rolled up.
In the blood mist, several Turkic warriors were hacked to death by him, Zhang Liang, and Wu Heita together. Some were knocked over by the horse thieves, and a few were frightened by such a fierce sword light and fled to the wings on horseback.
The Turkic intercepting team was dispersed again, and the horse thieves rushed out of the gap with shouts. All those who fell off their horses, whether they were enemies or companions, never looked back to see the men on horseback. They were used to seeing life and death. This moment was
For others, the next moment may be that they live happily and die drunkenly.
The smoke and dust brought up by the war horses rolled across the grassland like a torrent, until they met a seasonal river, and they suddenly stopped.
"You idiot, if you want to kill me, you should tell his grandma earlier. Do you show mercy to others in a war?" Wu Heita rushed to Li Xu and waved his fist at him hard. His fist was swollen like a bun.
Like, countless small wounds are oozing blood constantly
Li Xu smiled miserably and handed the scimitar to Wu Heitai's hand. He knew his eyes were blank and lifeless, and his whole body was as numb as a corpse. The only feeling he had was that he had to take a shower now. The smell on his body was unpleasant.
Out of breath
The stream was soon dyed red, and the blood-like water rushed downstream. Li Xu washed and washed desperately, until his body turned white, and his nostrils were still full of the smell of human blood.
He couldn't feel the coldness of the stream. He only felt that his whole body was numb, as if his skin and muscles no longer belonged to him. In the bloody battle just now, he was very lucky and only suffered a few skin injuries. Although the length of the knife edge was scary, the depth of the cut was only
I opened a shallow layer and was stimulated by cold water, and the bleeding quickly stopped.
But the shock to his heart from the bloody battle just now far exceeded the wounds on his body. He had also experienced two battles in his body, but they were all carefully arranged by Xu Dayan. The opponent's resistance was not strong.
And no one really pays attention to him
But today, the horse thieves outnumbered the Turkic warriors with fewer attacks. Their combat effectiveness far exceeded the herdsmen of the Suotou Xi tribe, and all the warriors regarded him as a key target of care. Li Xu could not count how many times death had passed him by.
However, he knew that he was scared and wanted to drop the knife and hide. But at the same time, he also knew that he had no place to hide. If he hadn't happened to meet this group of horse thieves, he would have been a guest in the Queyu family prison.
"I don't want to die!" He punched the woman's reflection in the water and murmured.
The water splash spread out with a "pop", distorting the childish face
"I don't want to die!" He punched again with a hint of crying. The water waves gathered and dispersed, reflecting a strong but far from mature body. Under the water, countless astonished faces with wide eyes slowly surfaced.
Every picture shows a Turk whose horse was chopped off by him with a machete.
"I don't want to die!" He held his head and squatted in the water. The cold water only covered his neck, numbing his breathing.
"Come up if you don't want to die. Do you want to get rid of the wind?" Wu Heitai, who had been looking at Li Xu with mocking sunshine on the shore, cursed, jumped into the river, and dragged him to the shore by dragging his arm.
Being exposed to the sun, Li Xu slowly regained some consciousness and opened his eyes. He saw Wu Heitai rubbing his arms vigorously. Niu Jinda, who looked so ordinary that he wouldn't be recognized if he was thrown into a crowd, held up a handful.
The blade of grass, whose name I couldn't pronounce, stood in front of me with a smile.
"Chew these grasses and you will feel better soon!" Niu Jinda ordered with a smile.
"Brother Niu, you are a veterinarian! Do you want to poison people? Do you want to share more horses?" Wu Heita protested loudly.
"Almost, almost!" Niu Jinda didn't like arguing with others, so he stuffed medicine into Li Xu's mouth and said.
The intense bitter taste instantly shot from the top of his head to his toes. Li Xu shivered, and his consciousness and courage returned to his body at the same time. He knew that he had lost his ugliness again just now. He smiled coquettishly, pushed Wu Heitao away, and walked to Heifeng's side.
Go get clothes nearby
The injured Heifeng was able to keep up with the team, which was beyond everyone's expectations. Several middle-aged horse thieves came over, looking at the horses and people. Suddenly, a man with a beard patted Li Xu on the shoulder and asked
Said: "Boy, haven't you killed more than thirty people? How come you only killed a few and ended up looking like a bear from fear?"
"Wang Shuang, next time you take the lead, kill ten people and show me!" Wu Heita stepped forward, pushed the bearded horse thief, and shouted
"If I had that ability, I would have become a swordsman long ago!" Wang Shuang replied with a smile.
"I, I have never eaten a human being!" Li Xu explained loudly that he did not know that rumors spread so quickly on the grassland, and that rumors deliberately created by Su Chuobu were actually believed by people in the south of the desert.
"It's probably because I didn't bring the holy wolf with me!" The horse thieves shook their heads and explained cleverly that no one believed Li Xu. If it wasn't for the wolf god possessing him, what would Ashina Queyu do with this silly little guy?
He doesn't care about fighting, he doesn't understand formations, and he doesn't know how to plan. If he charges randomly with a big sword, he is considered a talent, and all the horse thieves are great sages in the world.
