Chapter 135: Foreshadowing (5)
Xue Tong ran wildly on his horse, and his momentum was moving forward.
While moving forward at high speed, the Army Army flag in his palm was flying, and the open flag was shaking violently. The wind pulled the flag backwards violently, so that the flagpole made of hardwood with thick bowls appeared vaguely. However, the muscles on Xue Tong's right arm were bulging like iron, and the posture of her body had not changed at all. She always held the flag high and did not move.
Because of the long-term running at full speed, the war horse under his crotch had already reached a little tired, but Xue Tong clamped the horse's belly without hesitation, squeezing more energy out of the war horse's strong body, and slightly increasing the speed that had reached its peak.
The fifty riders who followed him were a team of elites specially organized by Xue Tong. Their riding skills were all very skilled, and under such circumstances, they were not loose, but still maintained a very close formation. Xue Tong could hear many people making long and low breathing sounds at the same time, gradually integrating into the same rhythm. This is a special skill that only experienced warriors can master. They are using their breath to calm down their nervous mood and adjust their physical condition.
Such tension is completely understandable. Chang Shanbian's cavalry is approaching quickly. If there is no accident, at most, after fifty breaths, the two teams will collide violently together. After that level of collision, there will be no survivors. The huge impact force will crush the hard bones, smash the body into blood foam, and send everyone to a dead end!
And Xue Tong just led everyone to run wildly on this dead end.
Xue Tong was very calm. When life and death were at the forefront, he could even think of something else with plenty of room for his life and death.
Xue family in Hedong and Xue Tong were born into a powerful family that has been spreading from the late Han Dynasty to the present. In the late Han Dynasty, they migrated from Yanzhou to Shu County, and then to Hedong, because of the failure of war. There have never been any real generals and famous generals in this family for generations. The few who occasionally left their names in history books have become stepping stones for celebrities. After arriving in Hedong, they were even more despised by local tribes because of their subjugation, so they were called "Shu Xue". This is quite the same as the experience of the Lu family in Jiangdong.
Perhaps because of his background, Xue Tong's military career was not smooth. As a grassroots officer, he participated in battles in Qinlong and Bingzhou. It was a fierce and fierce battle. He had to fight several times a day and night, and one battle would last for several days or even tens of thousands of times. He had faced the most vicious Hu and Qiang people, and killed them in an uninhibitable dangerous environment, just like eating and drinking. He experienced the cold blade countless times, and the bloody light was only a slight difference that would bring death to himself. But what he faced was always one after another, losing one brother after another.
Until Daling's retreat after the defeat, he met Lu Yao. I don't know what happened, but it seemed that from then on, something suddenly changed. Qi County, Tuanbai Valley, Jinyang, Yecheng, Dai County, Xue Tong followed Lu Yao, participated in one victory after another, and witnessed one fierce enemy after another beheaded.
As a warrior, as long as he can win, what else should I care about? Xue Tong told himself that he is a soldier who dares to take the sword and stand up. He knew what kind of tasks Lu Yao gave him, and was willing to use the toughest means to execute it. He sneered and looked at the rapidly approaching opponent, whistling in a long voice!
The distance between the two cavalry teams is less than twenty breaths.
Xue Tong's whistle clearly reached Murong Longcheng's ears, making the face of the Changshan Army's master's face become more and more gloomy.
He was also a soldier who had experienced many battles. From this high and heroic whistle, he instinctively realized the determination contained, and at the same time he felt that his intentional design of the appearance would become a joke under the arrogant response of the Jin people.
That's not what I originally thought!
Murong Longcheng could hardly roar. The Jin people's patrols were full of flaws in his eyes, and the cavalry's riding skills were even more unimaginable. They could break through the layers of blockades of the Jin people and break into the Jin army camp in one fell swoop. Such a majesty would be enough to shock the Husbands in the land.
At present, the power of the Duan tribe was temporarily expelled, and the power of the Tuoba Xianbei was even more severely damaged. However, after several days of hard work, he finally took the Changshan army completely. Murong Longcheng believed that he was enough to become the leader of the Hu tribe of Daijun and gain the power to compete with Lu Yao, a native of Jin.
That's right, the people who wiped out many tribes of the Mihu were Jin people, and the people who formed an alliance with Wuhuan were also Jin people, but wasn't I, Murong Long City, the one who controlled the victory in the end? If I decided to support Luguan, these Jin people would have no chance and would have to be defeated and died. Take a step back, if it weren't for my fatal blow, how much power would these Jin people be able to defeat Luguan's cavalry?
Since he broke with the Xianbei tribes, he should be friendly to the Jin court. Murong Longcheng had long understood this. But how could these Jin people be so tough? They tried to sacrifice the lives of soldiers and did not gain any advantage? This is really different from the Jin people who have been in contact with in the past! Annoyance, dissatisfaction, confusion, and many emotions were entangled in Murong Longcheng's heart, as if a gloomy flame was burning in his chest, almost causing him to explode.
He stared at the tall Jin general who was riding directly opposite him, and could hardly help touching the dragon bird ring hanging around his waist. He only needed one knife to cut off his head, but did he really dare to do so? Of course he didn't dare. No one would be so stupid that he would anger the Jin Dynasty after offending Duan tribe and Tuoba Xianbei eastern part.
So how should we... do nothing, maintain a arrogant attitude, continue to drive forward, and have a life-and-death collision? As the legitimate son of the Murong Xianbei Da Shanyu, he has a noble identity and has such a grand goal that has not been achieved. How could he really follow the actions of a reckless man and fight with a group of Jin army soldiers?
Murong Longcheng suddenly felt unprecedented frustration. He sighed, leaned on the ground suddenly, and pulled the reins to the right.
The next moment, two cavalry teams passed by.
Their distance was so close that the two teams of people who were on the left side finally collided with each other. Some armor and horse harnesses collided with each other, making jingling sounds and thick cracking sounds.
Adjusting the direction of the horses when the horses gallop like arrows is a very difficult move. If you are not careful, the horses will lose balance or fall to the ground. Even if Murong Longcheng and his subordinates are born and raised on horseback, and their tacit understanding is amazing, they will inevitably be a little embarrassed. Several knights were almost thrown off the horse. They shouted loudly, trying their best to appease the anxious war horses, and at the same time they had to maintain speed to avoid hindering the knights behind them. The entire team became scattered.
Compared with the cavalry of the Jin people, they were much more stable. They did not change the direction of keeping their progress until the end, and slowly lowered their horse speed. They went out a long way before they went back. In the eyes of such a big expert like Murong Longcheng, they naturally knew that these Jin troops were not only fearless, but also could curb the instinctive impulse of avoiding war horses. In terms of riding alone, they could also be considered to be good at winning the game with their own side.
At the same time, the people who were paying attention to the duel in the camp breathed a sigh of relief. The Hu Qu generals who were visiting pointed and whispered something. The soldiers of the Jin army, whether they were Jin or Hu, all cheered proudly.
"Let's go to Yuanmen to welcome this Changshan leader." Lu Yao laughed.
Since the guest has arrived, the host should have welcomed him.
