Chapter 240 Enemies Gather

When Xiao Zhuo saw Shen Yuexi riding his horse to follow, he was startled for a moment, then waved to her and shouted: "Hurry up and follow."

After catching up with Xiao Zhuo, Shen Yuexi turned around and looked behind her, and couldn't help but take a breath of air.

Probably after receiving some signal, two more fire dragons rushed towards them from a distance, and the three groups of people gathered together. It was estimated that there were hundreds of cavalry, like a swarm of wasps with torches, chasing behind them menacingly.

She really couldn't figure it out.

Xiao Beiheng is this bastard. He clearly had several opportunities to kill her and Xiao Zhuo before, but he didn't do it. Now, suddenly, there has been a 180-degree turn, and Xiao Zhuo and her have hid in Longsheng Town. The horns were gone, and he sent people to kill them.

"Whoever catches Xiao Zhuo will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households." The shouts came one after another from behind.

Xiao Zhuo shouted: "Yue Xi, we have to get rid of them."

Shen Yuexi confidently shouted to Xiao Zhuo: "Don't worry, those three-legged cats can't catch up with us."

She is not blindly boasting. After so many years of practice, her riding skills have become very good. The horse under her seat is like an extension of her own legs, and she can control it freely. She flies at high speed with Xiao Zhuo without falling behind at all.

Seeing the two of them gradually distance themselves from their pursuers, Shen Yuexi was enjoying herself when a whistling sound suddenly came from the air.

This extremely familiar voice made the hairs all over her body stand up.

It's a bow and arrow.

Seeing that they could no longer catch up, the pursuers behind them drew their bows and fired arrows. It was obvious that they wanted to kill them.

"They shot arrows!" she shouted to Xiao Zhuo.

As soon as he finished speaking, the war horse under Xiao Zhuo neighed, knelt down on its front legs and fell to the ground.

Shen Yuexi looked back and was shocked. Although she couldn't see clearly in the dark, she could imagine that Xiao Zhuo's horse had been hit by an arrow.

All this happened so fast that she didn't have time to think carefully. She pulled the reins suddenly, and the horse under her seat made a long neigh. It raised its front hooves high and plowed the air a few times.

Xiao Zhuo's reaction was faster than she expected. The moment the horse fell to the ground, he had already jumped up from the horse's back. Shen Yuexi had just reined in the horse before the horse's front hooves landed on the ground. He had already landed. Behind Shen Yuexi.

"Husband, hug me tight." Shen Yuexi shouted, looking sideways at the large fire behind her.

In the bright firelight, the soldiers of the Dingbei Army followed behind on horseback. Everyone held a bow in their hands and kept shooting arrows in her direction.

Fortunately, she didn't light a torch here. The Dingbei army could only fire random arrows based on the approximate direction, otherwise they would have been shot into a pile of arrows.

Only then did Xiao Zhuo wrap his arms around her waist. She had already started her mount, her hooves were flying, and she started running again.

I remember that she had escaped like this before, but at that time she was just a dragster. Unlike now, she can ride a horse and run away with her husband.

The horses carried the two men, but their speed was obviously not as fast as before. They could barely stay out of the range of the bows and arrows. Although the arrows fired from behind could not hurt them, the pursuers gradually caught up.

"Husband, what should I do?" Shen Yuexi asked, "If this continues, I will be overtaken."

"That was the last hurdle for the Dingbei Army just now, right?" Xiao Zhuo asked.

"Yes." Shen Yuexi didn't understand why Xiao Zhuo asked these questions.

Xiao Zhuo shouted: "We have just crossed Zhangwucheng... Those fires in front are not Dingbei Army, let's run there."

After being reminded by Xiao Zhuo, Shen Yuexi noticed that a large fire appeared in the darkness ahead and rushed toward them at a very fast speed. It was obviously a cavalry person.

"Is that the Xiliang Army?" she asked.

When the Xiliang Army under Mei Pu went north to Nanping to help Xiao Beiheng capture Nanping City, they seemed to have stopped between Nanping and Zhangwu. If it was the Xiliang Army, then they had a cooperative relationship with Xiao Beiheng. , won’t they arrest Xiao Zhuo?

"I don't know. Let's lure the pursuers over," Xiao Zhuo said. "Our horses won't last long, so we have to take a chance. Give me the reins."

Xiao Zhuo had an ability. The more critical the situation, the calmer he became. This calmness deeply affected Shen Yuexi, making her gradually become calmer.

She handed the reins to Xiao Zhuo, leaned on Xiao Zhuo's chest, and put her hands behind her back to hug Xiao Zhuo.

Xiao Zhuo rode his horse and rushed to the opposite side of the fire. Before he could hit the target, he turned his horse around and ran parallel to the opposite formation.

Shen Yuexi looked across and shouted in surprise: "It's the Xirong cavalry!"

This large fire was caused by Xirong's thousand-man cavalry. They saw a fire in the south from a distance, so they chased over to check, and happened to run into the chasing cavalry of the Dingbei Army.

The cavalrymen of the Dingbei Army thought they were facing the cavalry of the Xiliang Army and shouted, "We are the Dingbei Army under the command of the Crown Prince of Qi, and we are capturing Xiao Zhuo."

What greeted them was a hail of arrows from the Xirong army.

The Dingbei army was unprepared and was suddenly attacked. Dozens of horses were shot down at once. However, they were the elites of the King of Qi and did not flee in panic. When they realized that they were the Xirong army on the other side, they immediately drew their swords and fought with them. The Xirong cavalry fight.

Shen Yuexi turned around and looked behind her against Xiao Zhuo's arm. Two groups of troops were already fighting together.

"Husband, the Dingbei Army and the Xirong Army are fighting." She said happily, "They are no longer chasing us."

Xiao Zhuo was still smart, and now that there were no pursuers, the two of them would be able to escape safely.

Xiao Zhuo poured cold water on her head: "We have been surrounded by the Xirong army and there is no way to escape."

After being reminded by Xiao Zhuo, Shen Yuexi noticed that in front of and to their left and right, they felt like there were dense fires, all coming towards the direction where the two of them were.

Only then did she realize that they had actually rushed to the Xirong camp in the north of Zhangwucheng. The Xirong cavalry were outflanking them from all directions.

The Xirong language they shouted was so messy that she couldn't understand it, but she could clearly understand the two words they kept repeating.

Xiao Zhuo.

When the Xirong people knew that the Dingbei army was chasing Xiao Zhuo, they also came to chase them.

Compared with the hundreds of Dingbei Army who were pursuing them before, there were now countless cavalrymen from the Xirong Army. Looking around, there were Xirong cavalry in all directions.

"Husband, does this count as misfortunes never come singly?" Shen Yuexi said with a wry smile.

Xiao Beiheng wanted to capture Xiao Zhuo, and the Xirong people also wanted to capture Xiao Zhuo. Although the Xirong army and the Dingbei army fought in a melee, there was no delay in their cavalry coming out to capture Xiao Zhuo.

"The Xirong army probably took advantage of Xiao Beiheng's move south and captured Nanping, and is now about to attack Zhangwu." Xiao Zhuo wandered around with his mount for a few times and ran towards the darkness without firelight.

After running for a while, the sound of rushing water gradually became louder.

"There is a river ahead, there is a river," Shen Yuexi patted Xiao Zhuo's arm and shouted, "Husband, please stop."

She can't swim, so don't let her fall into the river.

"This is the Benniu River." Xiao Zhuo rode his horse to a cliff more than ten feet high from the river. "I didn't expect that I would be back here again."

At the north of Zhangwu, he led the Xiliang army to defeat the Xirong army. At one time, he blocked tens of thousands of Xirong troops here and almost wiped out the entire opponent's army.

The dense firelight behind them has surrounded them, and the faces of the Xirong Army cavalry can be seen clearly in the firelight.

Since there was no way to escape, the two had no choice but to dismount. Xiao Zhuo drew his sword and protected Shen Yuexi behind him.

The Xirong cavalry stopped their mounts at the foot of the cliff. They neither rushed up directly nor shot arrows. They seemed to be waiting for something.

Shen Yuexi hid behind Xiao Zhuo, holding Xiao Zhuo's skirt tightly with both hands, looking at the crowded enemy troops below.

Behind is the Benniu River, and in front are thousands of Xirong cavalry. There is really no chance now. If she is as strong as Yang Cong... forget it, the result is still the same, the two of them can't kill it at all.

Xiao Zhuo had made Xirong miserable before, but now that Xirong and he were enemies, he was extremely jealous.

It's really over now.

While she was thinking about it, the Xirong military torches below moved away to both sides to make way for a path. Dozens of Xirong riders held the king's flag and escorted one person to the bottom of the cliff.

The man stopped his mount at the foot of the cliff, looked up at Xiao Zhuo, and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhuo, you didn't expect to meet me in this way, did you?"

Shen Yuexi heard the voice familiar and took a look.
