Others may not know Zhou Ting's Yulin Army, but Li Zhong feels the pain of it. That year, the Northern Expedition of Tu Yuhun and Daqi Allied Forces went smoothly, but the appearance of 5,000 Yulin Army of Zhou Dynasty completely destroyed Qi Tu Yuhun.
The coalition forces enter the abyss!
Not to mention two hundred miles a night, even four hundred miles a night, Li Zhong believed that it would not be difficult for the Yulin Army's fast horses. Therefore, no matter what, they should block behind the Keji people who had no resistance.
Li Zhong also agreed with Changda that Tu Yuhun would set aside a pasture three times larger than this one for them, so that they would no longer have to squeeze in with the small pastures in Daqi. Li Ruogu also revealed his identity to Changda, so that they could
As the heir apparent, he promises to fulfill the promise Li Zhong made.
Changda immediately knelt down and expressed that as long as the tribe could have a free sky, they would be willing to become the herdsmen of the Tuyuhun royal family for generations to come! In the hearts of the Keji people, Tuyuhun was much more trustworthy than Daqi.
The Qi Ren Company at the back, including Li Zhong, had a total of seventeen people, a guide from the Anxi Racecourse, and fifteen students from the Military Academy. Because Li Ruogu, Liu Junzhi and others insisted on waiting for He Qizhou, they set off three days later than the first group.
On that day, we encountered more and bigger sandstorms in the desert, and we passed by Lu Zhenyao's team that had returned. By the time they reached the dry wetland at the foot of the mountain, there was not enough water for the team to return.
Li Zhong knew that there were few camels on the grassland for rescue, so he led everyone up the mountain without hesitation. He had grown up in the Tianshan Mountains and knew that in dry weather like this, he could not blindly search for water at the bottom of the valley. Instead, he led everyone to find a way to watch.
We headed all the way up to the top of the snow, and finally discovered the green valley in the mountains the day after the water was cut off. Then we followed the animal tracks and discovered the large pasture in the mountains.
Everyone in the armament hall, who was out of danger for the time being, was delighted to find that Tianju was appearing on the grassland. The Urna brothers and sisters came here just for Haotiancong, how could they give up such a good opportunity.
At first, everyone split up to capture it, but they found that no matter how well-hidden it was, they could not get within ten feet of Tianju. Everyone in the armament hall was a talented person with special skills, so they quickly changed their strategy, and fifteen people formed a huge encirclement.
The master Li Zhong went to drive the horses away, and everyone agreed that the horses they caught would be given first to Urna, the only woman in the team.
Sure enough, after trying twice, a three-year-old colt was finally driven into the siege and was about to be captured, but in the end he failed and allowed it to escape into the stone forest.
Urna, who was close at hand, was unwilling and followed the colt into the stone forest. Li Ruogu and Urhan followed Li Zhong without hesitation, regardless of Li Zhong's warning in advance. Li Zhong had no choice but to do so.
He also followed him in. When he entered the stone forest, he asked the others to wait outside.
But the others didn't want to watch them get into danger, so Liu Junzhi had the quick wit and loudly called for his companions to enter one by one, with a distance of twenty feet between each of them, so as to determine the direction.
It was a pity that Liu Junzhi, who was the last one to enter the stone forest, also lost his way after running for several miles into the stone forest! By shouting and conveying the news layer by layer, Li Zhong decided to let everyone gather and follow up, staring at the horse with all their might.
After capturing Tianju, let Tianju take them out of the mountain.
Sure enough, in an open space in the stone forest, everyone finally surrounded the Tianma. Li Zhong lassoed the young horse himself, and Urna struggled to tame it. This open space was where He Qizhou and the others had rested at night.
The only place to pass in and out of the Stone Forest.
Changda happened to lead the crowd and followed a group of Tianju as they passed by. He witnessed the astonishing skills of everyone in the Arms Hall with his own eyes and was impressed by them for a moment. Because the two teams happened to be busy on their own, they missed it without even saying hello.
What Li Zhong didn't expect was that this little pony might have never entered the depths of the stone forest alone, and led everyone back to the place after walking in the stone forest for a long time. Changda also lost the horses,
Not daring to go deep into an unfamiliar fork in the road, he led his team back to the open area to camp. Only then did the two sides get to know each other, and then formed an alliance to trap the horses.
Two days later, Kuhou finally caught up with a large group of Tianju who left Beishan and entered the grassland of the Keji people. Relying on Li Zhong's skills, they successfully trapped three Tianju. The group then followed Changda to his camp to retrieve the return journey.
supplies, while Chanda hurried to the tribe chief's camp to discuss the matter of tribute horses.
Unexpectedly, Changda came back injured in the middle of the night and informed the clan leader of what happened in the camp. While everyone in the Arms Hall lamented the fate of the Keji people, they were also delighted to learn that Xu Mu and He Qizhou had teamed up to defeat Zhou Tingyu's army, and Xu Mu was even more delighted.
Happy to be healed.
Among all the people, only Li Zhongzhong was preoccupied. He knew the strength of Yu Lin's army. Although He and Xu attacked first, he still didn't believe that they could defeat fifty Yu Lin with just the strength of two people.
Jun, even at his current peak level of Yongquan, was not sure that he would be able to retreat unscathed when facing fifty Yulin Guards.
What's even worse is that there are five hundred Yulin Guards, only a hundred and twenty miles away. If they change horses and advance quickly, even if they set off after dawn, they can catch up with them in half a day. If they pursue them all the way to the west,
It is very likely that he will collide with his own team, and then life or death will really be uncertain.
When the team was halfway through, Li Zhong's worries turned out to be true. Several fast horses suddenly appeared on the field four or five miles to the east. The students from the Arms Academy who were lagging behind counted them in their hearts. There were five horses in total. Continue.
As they rushed here, everyone felt relieved. Fortunately, there were only five of them. Unexpectedly, Li Zhong said:
"Go and tell Chanda to unload the carriage and set it on fire no matter what it is. Everyone else should start running quickly. You can also take one or two children with them and go with them! Zhou people
Our large army is only ten miles away from here at most!"
After Li Zhong finished speaking, he patted his horse and galloped away towards the five cavalrymen who were approaching quickly. Li Ruogu shouted: "Wait for us!" Regardless of Li Zhong's objection, he and the Urna brothers and sisters followed him out.
Killing those five scouts might buy some time for the Keji people.
Zhang Mufeng was worried that he would not be able to meet Zhou Qi and that he would not be able to kill the enemy as quickly as Xu Mu and He Qizhou. When he saw the opportunity coming, no matter how willing he was to let it go, he rushed over to him. However, those Quanzhen and Tianshan disciples saw their fellow sect leaders dispatched.
They all followed suit.
Only Liu Junzhi saw the seriousness of the situation. He seemed to have become Li Zhong's deputy. He said to Yang Shan and Lin Chuan: "Let's follow Li Zhong's request first and notify Changda to help them burn the things in the car."
!”
The three of them quickly caught up with the cavalry two miles ahead. As soon as Changda heard that Zhou Qi was chasing him, he quickly ordered to go down according to Li Zhong's request. He had seen the ferocity of those Yulin guards with his own eyes, and at least one person could deal with them.
There are twenty or thirty people, so how dare you joke about the lives of the tribesmen? Even if the food in the car is lost, it is better than losing your life.
As soon as the team heard Chanda's order, there was a sudden chaos. After some people unloaded the horses pulling the cart, they wanted to grab more meat cooked last night in the cart, and others desperately stuffed cheese into the pouches on their horses' backs.
Changda shouted loudly and told the tribesmen to only carry people on horses, and all other things would be thrown away. Anyone who violated the rules would be expelled from the tribe. Only then did the chaos stop. Most of the people in the camp, most of them riding in pairs, fought hard to ride the horses.
Run towards the diagonal door.
Li Ruogu, Lin Chuan, and Yang Shan lit the abandoned carriages on fire one by one. When the fire started, the three of them did not forget to grab more beef and mutton boiled in salt water and stuffed the horses' bags.
Li Zhong rode his horse and rushed towards the five cavalry on the opposite side. One of the five scout cavalry immediately stopped. The two cavalry slowed down. The other two cavalry separated slightly to the left and right. They took out their longbows and took them from the pouch on the side of the saddle.
Draw out an arrow and get ready to go.
Li Zhong still rushed towards the middle area between the two people, and the two sides soon approached to about a hundred paces. The two Yulin Army scouts opened their bows and fired arrows almost at the same time. One arrow shot a horse, and the other shot a man. Li Zhong urged
The horse jumped and avoided two arrows at the same time.
Although the two scouts were surprised by each other's riding skills, they did not panic. They slowed down their horses and increased the speed of firing arrows. Li Zhong used his palm power to volley and shoot the arrows that flew towards the mounts, then turned to one of them and rushed towards them.
, gently brushing away the arrows that were shooting at him, and he was no more than ten feet away from the scout. Among the five, the scout at the rear saw this, turned his horse's head without thinking, and galloped away;
The two men in the middle also turned their horses' heads to both sides at the same time, running back while turning their heads to watch the battle. Li Zhong leaped forward, drew out the saber hanging on the side of the saddle, and cut the back of the longbow blocked by the scout with one blow.
Continuing to slash at the scout, the tip of the knife quickly passed across the scout's head and neck. The scout fell off his horse and his head and neck were cut in half. After he fell to the ground, his head had been bent behind his back.
Seeing this, another scout riding forward hurriedly fired an arrow and fled back. Li Zhong took out a heavy arrow from the quiver beside his mount and swung it at the scout riding more than ten feet away with his bare hands.
The scout rider was hit hard in the back by a heavy arrow that flew at lightning speed. The heavy arrow did not penetrate the armor, but the man received the blow and jumped forward. He held the horse's neck with both hands to prevent him from falling off.
, but the war horse was frightened by this, and the horse swayed, and then neighed, and a man stopped immediately. Li Zhong rushed to the horse and killed the scout horse with another knife.
The two scouts in the middle kept silent and ran away from both sides to the east. Li Zhong stared at one person and started to draw his bow and shoot arrows. However, the distance between the two sides was more than a hundred steps, and the horses were running at the same speed. Li Zhong shot seven light arrows in succession.
, because they were too far apart, they were all dodged by the opponent or blocked with a knife.
The eighth arrow finally hit the horse's butt, and the opponent's speed gradually dropped. Li Zhong looked back and saw more than ten riders behind him running quickly, so he gave up chasing, turned the horse's head, and made a gesture to tell everyone to stop.
Chased.
Li Ruogu and Urna's mounts were both new Haotian Cong. Although they were not very old, they were still slightly faster than other people's horses. They met Li Zhong one after another and asked why they stopped chasing.
, Li Zhong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It doesn't make much sense to kill another person. With a route like this that is certain and enough to crush the opponent's pursuit, the large group of people will move forward quickly. The scouts usually only advance about ten miles. I ask you to lead more."
Some Keji people ran away, why did they all come over again?"
