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 already conveyed this information.
The news spread to all the nearby tribes. The Ashina family promised to keep this person alive regardless of life or death. If he could be caught alive, the person who made the meritorious service, in addition to being a slave, would immediately be given an official position above a village.
"Qiang!" The sound of the weapons clashing was completely different from before. The warrior felt the change in the weight on his hands. He instinctively raised his head 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, drawing a strange curve in the air with the inertia of the war horse. Li Xu's body rushed under the blood waterfall and immediately turned red. He had no time to wipe the blood on his face.
Relying on the instinct that the master coppersmith used to strike with the back of his knife, he turned sideways, 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. He turned his head to the side, and used the rest of his eyes to
Hikari saw the second warrior's body suddenly fold like wheat straw struck by hailstones.
"I killed two more people!" Li Xu yelled in his heart. He had an urge to drop the knife, leave the team and escape to the open wilderness. Fear and despair tightly bound him to the formation, making him unable to
Turn the horse's head sideways.
The third warrior rushed up. Li Xu exchanged moves with him and threw him behind him. It took time to bring the war 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 team, and everyone has enough mounts 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 the back of his horse. The Turkic warrior who had once fought with him lifted the reins, turned the horse, and charged diagonally.
To another horse thief who already has an opponent.
The injured man on the ground struggled a few times, but was soon drowned by the dust brought up by the horse's hooves. Miserable screams broke out 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 to avoid the light of the sword. The Turkic scimitar that succeeded in the sneak attack drew a beautiful arc in mid-air, diagonally
Then he 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 rests on the horizontally stretched curved sword.
On the knife. If the Turkic warrior insists on dropping the knife, he will not be able to escape death if he is struck by the knife, but the other party will definitely be gutted by the scimitar.
The Turkic warrior's scimitar stopped. Suddenly, he gritted his teeth, picked up the horse's rein tightly, and slashed the scimitar on Li Xu's neck desperately. With this knife, he could guarantee to cut off Li Xu's head. And Li Xu's stretched out
The scimitar can only cut the neck of the war horse.
"Poof!" Li Xu's eyes were stained red again. The scimitar that had been cut near the chin suddenly flew up together with its owner. In the red dust in the sky, Li Xu faintly saw an iron fork carrying the Turk
The warrior's body flew into the air.
The ownerless horse rushed forward a few steps, fell to the ground, and died. 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 took his scimitar directly to Wu Heitai's shoulder. He was about to remove one of his arms.
, Wu Heitai twisted his body, avoided 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 diagonally, and picked up a scimitar from the body on the ground. He waved the scimitar and continued to attack the stupid boy.
He rushed over and saw Li Xu opening his mouth, revealing a set of neat white teeth from his red lips.
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 silly boy drove the horse's head and rushed towards the third man. The scimitar did not react when the other party made a move.
In an instant, the man's head fell 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 skin on his body.
A drips down, and it's hard to tell whether it's someone else's or his own.
"Silly boy, control the speed and maintain formation!" Wu Heitai shouted wildly. Li Xu rushed 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.
Upon hearing the order, Wu Heitai touched a horn from his waist and blew it loudly. The desolate sound of the horn immediately covered the shouts of the horses, and the order was transferred to the ears of every horse thief at the front. All of them
Hearing the sound, the people rode their horses and moved closer to where Li Xu was charging forward. Soon, more than twenty people formed a sharp knife and pierced straight into the Turkic wolf cavalry.
Li Xu's whole body was red, and only his white teeth were still shining. He screamed, waving the extra-large scimitar specially made for him by his master coppersmith like a wheel. The light of the sword rolled past the sun,
A cloud of blood mist rolled up. Several Turkic warriors were hacked to death by him, Zhang Liang, and Wu Heita. Some were knocked over by the horse thieves, and a few were frightened by such a fierce sword light and jumped their horses to the wings.
Get away.
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. The men on horseback were used to seeing life and death.
One moment it is someone else, the next moment it may be oneself. Life is full of joy, death is like drunkenness.
The smoke and dust carried by the war horses rolled across the grassland like a torrent, until they met a seasonal river and suddenly stopped.
"You idiot, if you want to kill me, you should have told me earlier. Grandma, do you show mercy to others in a war?" Wu Heitai rushed to Li Xu and waved his fist at him hard. His fist was swollen like
It was as hot as a loaf of bread, with countless small wounds oozing blood.
Li Xu smiled miserably and handed the machete to Wu Heitai's hand. At this moment, his eyes were blank and his whole body was as numb as a corpse. The only feeling that still existed was that he had to go down to the river to take a bath.
The smell is so unpleasant that you can't breathe.
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 numb all over his body, 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 incision was scary, the depth was
There was only a shallow layer, and the bleeding stopped quickly after being stimulated by cold water.
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 Xibu, but they were both battles carefully arranged by Xu Dayan. The opponent's resistance was not strong enough.
He is so strong that no one really pays attention to him.
But today, the horse thieves are fighting more with less. The combat effectiveness of the Turkic warriors far exceeds that of the herdsmen of the Suotou Xi tribe, and all warriors regard him as a key target of care. Li Xu cannot count how many times death has come against him.
Passing by, 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 in Ashina Queyu Prison.
guest.
"I don't want to die!" He punched the *'s reflection in the water and murmured.
The water splash spread out with a "pop" sound, 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 widened their eyes, slowly
Floating above. Each 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 into the water. The cold river water only reached 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. When he opened his eyes, he saw Wu Heitai rubbing his arm vigorously. Niu Jinda, who looked so ordinary that he would not be recognized if he was thrown into a crowd, was holding his hand.
A handful of blades of grass that I couldn't name 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! If you want to poison people, why don't you divide up the horses?" Wu Heita protested loudly.
"Almost, almost!" Niu Jinda didn't like to argue with others, so he said while stuffing medicine into Li Xu's mouth.
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 just now, so he smiled coquettishly, pushed Wu Heitai away, and walked to Heifeng
to pick up clothes.
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 at the same time. Suddenly, someone with a beard patted Li Xu on the shoulder,
He asked: "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. He didn't know that rumors spread so fast on the grassland, and that the 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 smartly. No one believed what Li Xu said. If it wasn't for the wolf god possessing him, Ashina would have gotten this silly little guy.
What are you doing? He doesn't care about fighting. He doesn't understand formations or strategies. If he can charge randomly with a big knife, he is considered a talent, and all the horse thieves are great sages in the world.
"I really haven't killed more than thirty people!" Li Xu raised his voice a little higher. The clothes he just changed into were brought from the Central Plains. Although they are already small, you can tell from the clothes.
He used to be a scholar.
"Killing twenty of them is just a bite. I guess you don't even remember when the wolf god possessed you!" The horse thieves nodded and said mysteriously.
"Bite with your teeth, kill with a knife, and shoot with an arrow. Aren't they the same thing? If I were you, I would tell them that I killed a hundred of them, and everyone who saw me would stay away!" Wu Heitai
He glared at Li Xu and cursed: "People say you are powerful, but you are still humble. I have seen stupid people, but I have never seen anyone so stupid!"
"This little guy is very interesting!" From a distance, Liu Hongji shook his head and thought with a smile. (To be continued)
