"If the Turks caught him, which fool would stay in the valley waiting for you? If he had escaped by himself, he would have disappeared by now. How could you find him?" Wu Heita scolded as he walked.
, staring at Li Xu, wanting to kick him into the ravine.
"Madmen, they are all madmen, a bunch of madmen are following a fool!" He muttered, tapping the iron fork in his hand, knocking out a string of sparks on the blackened rock.
No wonder he was so angry that Li Xu, the silly boy who was rescued by everyone last night, actually proposed to go to the other side of the valley to find his companions. But the always smart and decisive Liu Hongji, the experienced and cunning Zhang Liang and others not only agreed.
He requested to borrow a horse and even took the initiative to accompany the silly boy to search the entire valley.
'Isn't this looking for death? Who can guarantee that Ashina Choyu's large army of soldiers and horses will not suddenly attack? If we don't save some energy, how will we break out of the Turkic people's pursuit later? Besides, the stupid boy will go crazy if he wants to
He must be crazy, so Zhang Liang went with him. That Zhang Liang is my employer, if he goes, how can I not go?" Wu Heita thought angrily, not understanding that there are still such stupid people in the world.
I believe that the word "loyalty" exists.
"We can't sleep anyway, why don't we stretch our arms and legs? The little bastards will have to sleep for another half an hour. If we rush them on their way now, next time they encounter the pursuers, everyone will be so tired that they can even raise their knives.
I can’t get up!" Liu Jizhen patted Wu Heitai on the shoulder and explained to him carelessly.
"Look carefully. If there are any burnt knives, help me pick one up for emergencies!" Liu Hongji turned back from his horse and warned with a smile.
Wu Heita groaned twice, with a look of helplessness on his face. Last night everyone burned and chopped in the valley, but not a single intact corpse was left. Some people were not injured by swords and arrows at all, but were burned by mountain fires.
Die behind a rock. If you can still tell which one is Han and which is Turk, then the person named Li should change his career to become a pestle maker. Just find a yamen and sign up, and you will have no worries about food and drink for the rest of your life.
He angrily followed the others, searching and searching, hoping to find a corpse that looked like a Central Plains person or with its hands and feet tied up. If he was "lucky" and found it, he could let the stupid boy named Li get there early.
If you don't care, everyone can leave early and get away from this place of right and wrong.
Zhang Liang wanted to recruit a silly boy named Li to join his gang, which Wu Heitai could guess without looking. The boss was short of men, and although the boy named Li was a bit stupid, the knife in his hand was not stupid at all.
Moreover, this man's riding skills are good. With a little training under his master's command, he can be used as a helper.
"But is this kid willing to go with Brother Zhang?" Wu Heita was not sure. Everyone set up an ambush in the valley last night. Their intention was not to save people, but to kill the pursuers by surprise. It was the stupid boy who rushed in by mistake.
The pursuer just happened to be led into an ambush. It can be said that the so-called life-saving grace is basically a business along the way. If this kid was smarter, he should have seen the truth long ago. Will he still be grateful after knowing the truth? Wu Hei
Tao definitely doesn't think so.
'Brother Liu seems to be very interested in this silly boy. I'm afraid that this person will be accidentally dragged away by Zhang Liang, or get on the "thief ship" of Liu Village Master. But we old Wu can't see the possibility of being a horse thief.
What's wrong, at least everyone was robbing homes in an open and honest manner. Some people didn't raise the flag and robbed more ruthlessly than thieves. Compared with "a gust of wind", they are more worthy of the word "thief". It's just that they have the word "thief" on their heads.
With this official title, he can still speak some great truths even when he is robbing someone.'
"Let's search outside the valley again. Xu Xian knows that Brother Li will come to look for him later, so he will naturally leave some marks!" Zhang Liang's words came from the front, making Wu Heitai tremble with anger.
"Aren't you stupid! Man..." He yelled again, but Liu Hongji slapped him hard on the shoulder, knocking back the whole second part of his sentence.
"Now that we're here, let's go search together. If there are more people, the search will be more detailed!" Liu Hongji warned with a smile, and he took his horse and walked side by side with Wu Heita.
Wu Heitai knew that he could not win over the others, so he sighed and continued to wander east and west outside the valley. The wild wolves had already begun to gather here, and he knocked them hard with his iron fork, and each one of them started to attack with their tail between their legs.
Run away.
Everyone walked around the corpse, but still didn't see a Han face. Li Xu raised his head and said to several companions: "Please wait a moment, dear friends, I will look for Brother Maogong in the distance."
Didn't leave any mark."
"You should have left early!" Zhang Liang wiped the sweat from his head and said with a long sigh. The vast grassland was full of crows flying around and wild wolves coming smelling the smell of blood. After passing a chaotic scene,
During the long night, even if the descendant named Xu had left any mark, it was probably destroyed by the beast.
Just as he was about to say his words of comfort, Wu Heitai suddenly shouted from behind everyone: "Look, what are those wolf cubs dragging? It can't be the body of Xu!"
With a "boom" sound, Li Xu felt that his head was exploding. He quickly turned the horse's head and rushed towards the direction pointed by Wu Heitai as quickly as possible. After using a machete to scatter a few wolf cubs, he found a
The body of the hunting dog was tied to the stone with a straw rope. Judging from the traces, the wild wolves had dragged the body a long way, and the blood left a long line of dark brown red along the tip of the grass.
"I'm afraid someone left it here on purpose!" Zhang Liang looked at the straw rope around the dog's neck and analyzed in a low voice. Everyone continued to search along the blood trail, and finally found a pit two hundred steps away. In the pit
, several rows of stones placed a big arrow pointing south. Behind the arrow, there was a dirty leather armor, and in the middle of the leather armor, there were two large characters written in dog blood -
"Peace!" Xu Dayan's handwriting made everyone feel light.
"Thank you, Brother Wu, for your help!" Li Xu bowed his hands to Wu Heitai and thanked him in a low voice. At this point, a big stone in his heart finally fell. If it weren't for Wu Heitai's good eyesight, everyone might have missed Xu Xu today.
The mark left by the big eye.
"I told you a long time ago that people named Xu are smarter than you!" Wu Heitai jumped up, triumphant. Throughout the morning, this was the only time he didn't speak in a provocative tone. His tone sounded strange, as if he was still
A little warmth from the sun.
When it was almost noon, Wu Heita finally understood why Zhang Liang put so much effort into the stupid boy Li Xu. The moment he broke through the Turkic team just now, he saw at least two warriors being swept off their horses by Li Xu.
The scimitar, which was ridiculously long and sharp, and had ridiculously weird moves, was like a black dragon emerging from the water. Blood splattered everywhere it passed, leaving no chance for anyone to fight back.
"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 in a hoarse voice, not hearing what the other party was asking. The overly tense situation made his hands and feet numb, and it seemed like a needle was hanging above the bridge of his nose, pricking him back and forth.
stop.
"Who is your master?" Wu Heitai repeated loudly. The first wave of Turkic cavalry blocking the front had been dispersed, and the horse thieves were in sight of victory. Liu Hongji was guarding the left wing, and Niu Xiu was guarding the right wing.
The person in charge of cutting off the rear was Liu Jizhen, the leader of Dazhai. With the three of them and dozens of brothers present, the Turks could not take back even 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? What's his name?" Wu Heitai 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 experienced on the battlefield.
The control of pointing, shooting angle and force has surpassed him to some extent, an "old" swordsman 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 pursue them so fast, let alone that the Turks were so brave that they dared to intercept head-on and ran at such a fast speed.
The impact of the five hundred and twenty-seven 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 was so angry that he really wanted to give Li Xu an iron fork from behind to help this heartless guy. After learning other people's martial arts, he didn't ask his master.
Name, are there any such disrespectful people in this world?
Soon, he no longer had the energy to scold Li Xu. The Turks were like crazy, and the gap they had just opened was closing in front of them desperately. This was definitely not a normal method of warfare. Horse thieves and cavalry on the grassland were
Fighting is a common thing. 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 than the opponent. Experienced generals
It will chop up the horse thieves' team piece by piece from the flanks like cheese. Although this will let some enemies go, it can cut off 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 intercept the team directly in front.
"Grandma, it's evil!" Wu Heita stabbed the iron fork with a flat end straight into the throat of a warrior with a wolf head tattooed on his chest. Then he swung the iron fork at the speed of the horse and threw the enemy's body high into the air.
.This is a person who plays a role similar to that of a team leader. After killing him, it should have the effect of disrupting the enemy's command.
"Ah!" The Turkic soldiers who rushed forward exclaimed. The formation dispersed, but quickly gathered again. Contrary to Wu Heitai's expectation, they did not avenge their superiors, but rushed to the front.
The ground gathered towards Li Xu.
"Grandma, don't bully the child!" Wu Heitai shouted, turning the direction of the horse's head at an angle. During the high-speed running process, he could not support Li Xu sideways. He could only make the direction of running and Li Xu's horse's head
The directions converge at a certain point ahead. Whether Li Xu can block a round of random knives before that 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
He had killed five people the night before, and now his hands were stained with the blood of five people. The pressure of killing made his stomach churn, but he couldn't help but continue to swing the knife. Hesitation is death, and the teachings of the coppersmith master have been ringing in his mind.
In his ears. He is only fifteen years old, far from the age where he can detect life and death.
The two Turkic cavalry closest to him suddenly changed direction and quickly came over. Several old horse thieves under Liu Jizhen saw that the situation was not good, and shouted loudly and moved closer to Li Xu. But the galloping direction of the war horses could not be changed if they wanted to.
With helpless eyes, the old horse thieves watched the young man's figure covered in sword light.
"Ah!" Li Xu shouted, 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, so the knife was used immediately.
Generally speaking, masters prefer to rely on the speed of their war horses to carve a bloody gash in their opponents. However, a strong slash can easily break the knife. Once the weapon is broken, the rider is left to be slaughtered. (To be continued)
