"Our brothers have been waiting here for a long time before you came out."
The leader of the patrolling horse guard said with a smile.
As he finished speaking, the smile on his face gradually faded away.
"Our young master wants your heads, so you should surrender them obediently."
"Brothers, kill!"
The men on patrol picked up their knives and killed him.
Kebineng turned his horse's head in horror and fled into the dense forest. As he fled, he yelled at Namir, "Didn't you say that no one can get out of this dense forest except your people?"
Namir followed Kebineng nervously and exclaimed: "They... they may have come around from outside the dense forest..."
"Then how did they know that we would go out from the west?"
"I...I don't know either..."
"Is there any other way out?!"
"North...north..."
"lead the way……"
Killed with swords and muskets.
Kebineng lost nearly five hundred men before escaping the pursuit of the horse guards.
Among them, more than 200 people were killed.
The remaining more than 300 people were fleeing on horseback in the dense forest. They hit tree branches and other objects, or bumped into one of their own people, and were killed by the horse patrol men who caught up with them.
Kebi Neng and his men escaped from the north of the dense forest in embarrassment.
Out of the maze.
That fatal figure appeared in front of them again.
Kebineng pointed at Namir angrily, "Are you a traitor?!"
Namir did not defend himself, but stared at the patrolling men with wide eyes in horror, as if he had seen the most terrifying thing.
"No one is more familiar with the Mysterious Forest than me...except for the Black Cloud Rider who used to occupy this place..."
"They...they are Black Cloud Riders?!"
"Black Cloud Rider!"
"We have provoked the Black Cloud Cavalry! We are doomed!"
Namir seemed to have lost the desire to escape, and fell to his knees on the ground in fear, shouting continuously.
Ke Bineng never thought that he would provoke the Black Cloud Rider.
He even didn't expect that the Black Cloud Rider, who had disappeared for more than half a year, would actually appear again.
The Black Cloud Rider is a legend from the Western Regions.
He suddenly appeared two years ago, haunting the Western Regions and killing countless people.
It is said that they destroyed nearly a hundred small tribes in the Western Regions by their hands.
Huangtou returned to Hehe and Qingtang, and successively sent heavy troops to encircle and suppress them, but they could not do anything.
They are the only horse thieves in the Western Regions who can fight against the regular troops of Qingtang and Huangtou Huihe without falling behind.
Because every time they attack, they always wear black clothes, cover their faces with black gauze, and ride black horses. When they charge, they are like a majestic black cloud passing by, so they are called Black Cloud Riders by the people in the Western Regions.
.
Although Ke Bineng has never seen the Black Cloud Cavalry, he has also heard of the Black Cloud Cavalry.
It is said that those who provoke Black Cloud Rider will die miserably.
It's just that the black cloud suddenly disappeared more than half a year ago.
Some people say that Heiyunqi was chosen by God and became a servant of God.
Some people also say that the Black Cloud Cavalry invaded Xixia and were wiped out by Xixia's iron cavalry.
Kebineng never expected that he would run into the Black Cloud Cavalry, who had a great reputation in the Western Regions, nor did he expect that the Song people he provoked would actually be protected by the Black Cloud Cavalry.
When the man on the horse guard saw Namir kneeling down to beg for mercy, he smiled and said to the leader of the horse guard: "Brother, we have been missing for more than half a year, and there are still people who know us?"
The leader of the patrol horse guard did not look at Namir who was begging for mercy, but stared at Kebineng and said coldly: "Since you have seen through the identity of our brothers, you should know that anyone who dares to provoke us must die!
"
When Kebi heard such arrogant words, a trace of anger arose in his heart.
He still has more than 2,000 people in his hands, and he may not be unable to win against the 200 people facing him.
However, after he glanced back at the horse thief behind him, he gave up this thought.
Every one of the horse thieves who followed him had heard of Black Cloud Rider.
Facing the Black Cloud Cavalry, their eyes were full of fear and they didn't have the courage to fight.
Ke Bineng had a gloomy face and said to the leader of the patrolling horse guards: "I admit defeat. According to the rules on the grassland, I can use gold to buy back my life and that of my men."
The leader of the patrolling horse guard shook his head indifferently, "My young master said that I want all of your heads."
Ke Bi Neng gritted his teeth and said, "That means there's nothing to talk about?"
"kill!"
"run!"
The leader of the patrolling horse guards led his men to kill them.
Without saying a word, Kebineng turned his horse's head and fled into the dense forest.
After the patrol horse guards reached the dense forest, they did not retreat, but pursued them all the way.
They didn't want to continue playing hide and seek with Ke Bi Neng.
Cries of killing echoed everywhere in the dense forest.
Two hours later.
After Liu Heng finished cleaning the battlefield and rescued the military scholar who was captured by Ke Bi, he led his people to the edge of the dense forest.
Then I saw the men on the horse guard, covered in blood, driving a group of saddled horses at the edge of the dense forest.
The men on the horse patrol were almost drenched in blood.
Nothing about his body, including the horse he was sitting on, was clean.
It was like walking through blood water.
Liu Heng immediately sent someone up to take over the horses being driven by the horse guards, and he approached the leader of the horse guards who was holding his head.
As he approached the leader of the patrolling horse guards, Liu Heng smelled a strong smell of blood.
Liu Heng was secretly shocked.
How many people would have to be killed?
Liu Heng was also a man who had led soldiers. He knew clearly that letting the enemy's blood soak his clothes could not be achieved by killing just one or two people.
"How much damage will be done in the battle? Can the leader of the thief be killed?"
The leader of the patrolling horse guard raised the head in his hand, took a breath and said with a smile: "The head of the thief leader... injured more than twenty brothers, but no one died."
Two hundred people versus four thousand people.
More than 20 people were injured, but no one died. That's not an ordinary situation.
But what Liu Heng didn't know was that the reason why no one died on the patrol horse guard was because the damned people had already died.
In the past, thousands of people rushed to the Western Regions, but now only two hundred people remain.
They all crawled out from bloody battles, and ordinary little thieves could not hurt their lives.
Liu Heng said with admiration: "You are really powerful...how many escaped?"
The leader of the patrolling horse guards smiled calmly and said: "If we take action, how can anyone escape? The young master said that if we want all of their heads, then we must take all of their heads."
Liu Heng didn't believe it.
There were fully four thousand enemies. In addition to the hundreds who fell under the low hills and the hundreds who had fallen on the road of pursuit, there were still nearly three thousand people who fled into the dense forest.
It is impossible for the patrolling horse guards to wipe out nearly three thousand enemies in the dense forest.
Liu Heng turned around and told Gao Yi, and walked towards the confusing forest.
"Take your men and help the brothers to dismount and rest. Don't be in a hurry to remove their armor. Wait until they have rested enough before removing their armor..."
Gao Yi heard Liu Heng's order and hurried forward with the soldiers who were praising the Japanese army, and helped the men of the patrolling horse guards to get off their horses.
Liu Heng, on the other hand, led the people from the Imperial City Division and entered the dense forest.
After Gao Yi helped the leader of the patrolling horse guards lie down on the ground, he fed water into his mouth and exclaimed: "You are really powerful, I am convinced..."
The leader of the patrolling horse guards took a sip of water and laughed in a low voice: "If you brothers who praise the Japanese army sharpen yourselves in the same way that our brothers sharpen themselves, you will be even more powerful than us."
Gao Yi's heart moved, he took a piece of naan cake, handed it to the leader of the patrolling horse guards, and asked curiously: "How do you sharpen yourselves?"
The leader of the patrol horse guards chuckled and said: "Find a place with four battles and throw thousands of people into it. Those who survive in the end will definitely be better than our brothers."
Gao Yi took a breath of air and did not dare to discuss this topic with the leader of the patrolling horse guards.
He finally understood why the horse guards were so strong.
I also understand why Kou Ji equipped the patrol horse guards with all the good things.
This is a group of tough soldiers crawling out from the dead.
They are entitled to all the good stuff under the sun.
The leader of the patrolling horse guard rested for a long time and his breathing became even. Gao Yi then helped the leader of the patrolling horse guard take off his armor.
When the leader of the patrolling horse guards was out of breath just now, the reason why he didn't help the leader of the patrolling horse guards to remove his armor was because he was worried about the wind that would remove the armor.
Soldiers who have gone through a fierce battle and are sweating profusely should avoid removing their armor.
Once the armor is removed and the cold wind blows, it is easy to die suddenly.
During the conflict between Chu and Han, King Bao of the Western Wei Dynasty of Chu State fought fiercely with Han Xin for three days. When he returned to his tent and took off his armor, he contracted armor-removing wind and died.
During the Five Dynasties period, the famous general Li Cunxiao killed fifteen thieves and enemies in one day. He exhausted his strength and his blood was boiling. He returned to the camp, took off his armor, drank several glasses of cold wine, and suffered from armor-removing fever and vomited blood. Falling to the ground, unconscious.
There are countless examples like this.
In short, all military generals are aware of the dangers of armor-removing wind.
Liu Heng asked Gao Yi to help the leader of the patrolling horse guard dismount from his horse and help the leader of the patrolling horse guard to remove his armor, just to let Gao Yi keep an eye on the leader of the patrolling horse guard, lest he remove his armor rashly and suffer from armor-removing syndrome.
With the help of Gao Yi, the leader of the patrolling horse guards took off his iron armor and put on a leather armor, and heaved a sigh of relief.
Other patrolling horse guards also took off their iron armor with the help of the Japanese soldiers.
Not long after they took off their armor, Liu Heng walked out of the dense forest with heavy steps.
Liu Heng's face was slightly pale, and he looked at the patrolling horse guard with a very strange look.
"vomit……"
The spies of the Imperial City who followed Liu Heng into the dense forest, after exiting the dense forest, held on to the tree beside them and vomited. They looked at the patrolling horse guards with a hint of fear.
When the Japanese soldiers saw this, they decided to go to the dense forest to have a look. They all stretched their necks and looked into the dense forest.
Liu Heng seemed to see the thoughts of praising the Japanese soldiers, and said to them in a deep voice: "Whoever wants to go in and take a look, just go in and take a look, and go back as soon as possible."
When the Japanese soldiers heard this, they rushed into the dense forest in droves.
After a long time, pale faces came out of the dense forest. They looked at the patrolling horse guards and became even more frightened.
The leader of the patrolling horse guards led the patrolling horse guards, jumped on the back of the horse, and laughed and said: "Don't worry, everyone, we will never attack our own people."
Liu Heng got on the horseback, ordered the Japanese soldiers and the imperial city spies, drove the cattle, sheep and horses, and returned to Kou Ji with the captured swords, guns, gold, silver, grain and other items.
An Ziluo was so surprised when he saw Liu Heng driving back a large number of cattle, sheep and horses.
He quickly rode his horse to Liu Heng's side and asked: "How many enemies have been killed?"
Liu Heng ordered people to drive the cattle, sheep and horses into the baggage team and handed them over to the care of civilians. Then he put on an ugly smile on his face and said to An Ziluo: "Kill them all..."
An Ziluo couldn't believe it, "You, more than a thousand people, wiped out more than three thousand horse thieves?"
An Ziluo has experienced hundreds of wars, large and small, from joining the army to now, and tens of thousands of horse thieves died at his hands.
He knows that horse thieves are difficult to deal with.
We also know that it is easy for more than a thousand regular soldiers to defeat more than three thousand horse thieves, but it is difficult to wipe them all out.
"It's not three thousand...it's more than four thousand..."
An Ziluo was stunned, and looked at Liu Heng with a very different look, "I didn't expect you to be so powerful? If I had known you were so powerful, I should have tried my best to keep you in Qingtang."
Liu Heng glanced at the patrolling horse guards not far behind him, who were gathered together in small groups, chatting and laughing, and said in a deep voice to An Ziluo: "It has nothing to do with me..."
An Ziluo's mind is so astute.
After hearing Liu Heng's words and the way Liu Heng looked at the patrolling guard, he could guess the whole story in an instant.
He said in surprise: "They led you to fight?"
"I took the people with me and just cleaned up the battlefield..."
Liu Heng sighed, muttered, and went to find Kou Ji.
An Ziluo was left alone, stunned and stunned.
When Liu Heng found Kou Ji, the leader of the patrol horse guards had already rushed to Kou Ji first.
The head of the horse thief Ke Bineng was placed squarely on the ground in front of Kou Ji.
When Kou Ji saw Liu Heng arriving, he told the leader of the patrolling horse guards: "I already know the battle process. You go down first and take the brothers to clean the armor. Don't let the enemy's blood corrode our armor."
"Here..."
The leader of the patrolling horse guard cupped his fists and saluted, and left Kou Ji's side.
Kou Ji looked at Liu Heng and smiled calmly and said: "Those idiots told me that all the horse thieves have been wiped out. You have been following them and telling me that you are alive. They didn't lie to me, right?"
Liu Heng shook his head solemnly and said in a deep voice: "The horse thieves have indeed been wiped out, and their bodies are in the dense forest not far from here."
Kou Ji nodded slowly and said with a smile: "That's good..."
Liu Heng stared at Kou Ji with a complicated expression and said, "They are really strong."
Kou Ji was stunned and said with a smile: "Of course they are very strong. If they were not strong, I would not use them."
Liu Heng said seriously: "They are not ordinary strong."
Kou Ji laughed and said, "Have you seen the battlefield where they fought?"
Liu Heng gritted his teeth and nodded: "Nearly three thousand horse thieves were killed in the dense forest. Their heads were cut off and neatly stacked together. Their bodies were hung on the trees, their intestines hanging to the ground, stained with blood.
The entire forest turned red, like a purgatory on earth.
If a timid person sees it, he will be scared to death inside."
