Unfortunately, one of the six people was Li Jichen. He was running at the northernmost end of the six-man team. The arrows flying from a distance were either thrown away with his strength, or he caught them and threw them back with his bare hands. He Qizhou and other five people were also included.
Their archery skills were also very impressive. Instead of shooting down one person, those Zhou Qi were shot over several people, and many of them were delayed.
In the end, only a dozen riders managed to stop the six people. For Li Jichen and He Qizhou, whose strength was significantly higher, it was just a matter of one round.
Seven of the more than ten cavalrymen fell off their horses in an instant. The other cavalrymen could not block their way and did not dare to pursue them. How could those heavy cavalrymen come to die again? They returned directly to join the battle group in the north. The other more than twenty cavalrymen were chasing after light cavalrymen.
, witnessed the power of Master Chengzong with his own eyes, and after stopping for a moment, he gave up the idea of chasing and headed north.
Let's talk about Li Ruogu's place. When the large group of people approached, more than ten riders were shot over, and then they were completely blocked. After a slight collision with the opponent, more than twenty riders fell off their horses. Our side only relied on itself and Tian Bing and others to kill them.
Several people were left behind. Seeing He Qizhou and his party break through the blockade, he shouted and called for everyone to retreat.
Zhou Qi was eager to go to Baishui Town, so naturally he would not miss the opportunity to annihilate the enemy soldiers in front of him. They chased after them one after another. Except for the heavy cavalry, most of the light cavalry ran faster than Urhan's men.
For a time, many people were cut off their horses. Some people surrounded them from one side, hoping to encircle and annihilate this Qi-Turkish coalition army.
Although some people advised Urhan to fight to the death, Urhan gave the order to run and keep running eastward. After running for more than 20 miles, about two hundred Yulin Guards and Qingqi were about to complete the alignment and were surrounded by the Turkish coalition forces.
At that time, Urhan's team only had about 130 riders left.
Unexpectedly, instead of launching an attack at the last moment, the Yulin Guards turned around and ran back quickly, because dust was already rising in the sky three or four miles away from the east, and the sound of horse hooves could be heard like drums. Those Yulin Guards
Of course, he knew that the ones coming must be enemies, otherwise Chi Yan would not have led them all the way to escape, so he just rode there without thinking, hoping to rely on the charge of heavy riding to block the enemy's attack.
Although the dust was very heavy, there were not too many people coming. There were about a thousand riders, so a duel could be fought! The Habayashi guards, who had formed their formation, saw the number of enemies clearly and felt a little calmer.
It was Li Ruogu who was leading the thousand cavalry. He was about to launch an attack when he was stopped by Urhan: "They are extremely powerful and the casualties in a forceful attack will be too great. So we should encircle them first but not attack them. We will force them to surrender after the large group of troops arrives!"
"
"Okay! Are Chi Yan and Helian Changji inside? Where is your sister?" Li Ruogu asked while waving his soldiers to suspend the attack.
"Chiyan and Helian Changji ran away first with fifty cavalry. My sister, Mr. Li, He Qizhou and others followed them. They walked for more than half an hour. You first send three to four hundred people to chase west!
"Urhan said.
When Li Ruogu was worried about whether he could trap the Northern Zhou Yulin Guards after removing so many people, Lu Zhenyao, who was traveling with him, said: "We don't need so many people, and the people here can't let go. Give us a few fast horses, and Ling Yue and I will go
Chase it."
"Okay!" Li Ruogu was overjoyed. With them taking action, they could compete with dozens of Yu Lin Guards.
"I'll go too, and I'll leave this place to you." Urhan said.
Li Ruogu suffered from his status as the commander, so he could only nod in agreement. While commanding everyone to surround the Zhou army with about 270 cavalry, he also sent reconnaissance cavalry to deliver information in the east and west directions. A total of forty cavalry were sent in the west direction.
Following Lu Zhenyao and the others, Chi Yan and Helian Changji who escaped were more important than the Yu Lin Guards in front of them!
The Yulin Guards, who were waiting in formation, saw that the enemy army was only surrounding them from a distance without attacking. They knew that there were still follow-up troops following, and immediately decided to break out to Baishui Town, a hundred miles away. After easily opening the gap, Qingqi could no longer care about the enemy.
The knights fled on their own accord. Unfortunately, the heavy riders could not run fast and were left far behind.
Li Ruogu ignored the heavy armored cavalry, which was difficult to deal with, and just led more than a thousand men to pursue the Yulin Guards' light cavalry, which was less than 200 strong, and finally caught the enemy again twenty miles away from Baishui Town.
After a bloody battle in which both sides suffered more than a hundred cavalry casualties, the remaining Yulin Guards decided to surrender, because in this desert, even if they could escape, they would be dead ends if they could not reach the oasis and towns.
Those heavy cavalry surrendered earlier! After Jiang Di, who had been following the team at the end, heard the news from Urhan, he seemed to have smelled a fighter plane. He suddenly accelerated his march, surpassed the army in front, and followed Li Ruogu closely. Then he discovered
After catching the heavy cavalry who were advancing and retreating without any control, they decisively sent people to persuade them to surrender. The conditions proposed made the heavy cavalry put down their weapons without hesitation.
Jiang Di said that he was the legitimate son of the Crown Prince of Da Qi, and he could promise not to harm anyone or hand them over to Tu Yuhun. He would take them back to Luoyang and ask the emperor for mercy, and four thousand cavalry would arrive soon.
If we don't surrender now, we won't be able to negotiate any conditions later.
Those heavy cavalry also understood that the general was just using them to buy time for him to escape, so why should he sacrifice his life for such a master? With such good conditions now, why not be tempted, so they all disbanded their armor and surrendered, following the last ones?
On the contrary, Jiang Di was the first to make a contribution, and it was a great achievement. He captured the most powerful heavy cavalry of the Northern Zhou Dynasty without spending a single soldier...
Lu Zhenyao and the others chased them for more than 30 miles. The horse hoof prints on the desert were still vaguely visible. The horses under their legs were no longer strong. The three of them had to change horses before continuing. They could only slow down for the next twenty miles. Despite this, the three of them had to change horses.
, the direction of the pursuit became clearer, because dead and gasping horses were constantly found on the ground.
Urhan proposed to accompany the two of them here, firstly because he was worried about his sister, and secondly because he was relatively familiar with the terrain here. After looking at the direction of travel, he said: "Two curators, it seems that Chiyan is planning to bypass Kang
The car is going directly to Shanshan. We may not be able to catch up for a while. We need to save some horsepower, otherwise we will only be farther and farther away."
"Okay! You lead the way." Lu Zhenyao nodded in agreement. Urhan had already shown his talent in this area when he was in the Altai Mountains.
…
He Qizhou and the others actually encountered the same problem. Chi Yan had been driving at full speed without hesitation, and had dropped more than fifty horses along the way. In order to maintain the speed, the six of them also changed horses once. He and Xu Mu's
Tianju can still run fast, but other horses obviously can't.
Li Jichen did not agree that the two of them should go forward quickly, because everyone also calculated that the direction of Chi Yan's escape was Shanshan, so they decided that they could not catch up, so they followed slowly and quietly, and if they chose to sneak attack, they would take down Chi Yan and others.
It's not impossible.
After chasing for a whole day, the six people had to rest at night. After a night of wind and sand, no traces could be found on the sand, so they could only continue their pursuit in the direction of Shanshan. More than two hours later, the cavalry was spotted again about sixty miles away.
According to the footprints, it was estimated that it should be within sixty miles of the other party, but no traces of the encampment were found.
The next day was exactly the same, he lost his trace after one night, and found his whereabouts again before noon. Everyone became more and more convinced that Chi Yan fled directly to Shanshan. With a clear direction, he felt settled in his heart. He just had to go to Shanshan, even if it was sudden.
There is no need to worry about wind and sand.
Sure enough, there was a wind and sand on the third day, which made the six of them a little bit embarrassed, because they just discovered that the direction of the trail was more towards Shanshan than the nearest Guancheng. If you go straight along the direction of the trail, not only is it easy to get lost, but the more serious problem is
The six people are almost exhausted, and there is no way to chase them even if they want to.
The final plan was to go to the border town of Shanshan first and then go west along the trade route, which might save some time compared to venturing deeper.
Guancheng is forty miles away. Since the country can be entered from anywhere, the gate defense is not strict. It is mainly used to provide proof for merchants to transit. Qi people, Zhou people, and Persians have always been enemies that small countries on the trade route dare not offend.
Like. After receiving some benefits, the gatekeeper became even more enthusiastic. The six people inquired carefully and confirmed that Chi Yan had not passed through this place.
After replenishing water, grass and food, and staying one night in Guancheng, the six of them continued to rush along the trade road. The next town was sixty miles away, and it took two hours to get there. Because they started early, they didn't meet anyone along the way.
When a pedestrian was two or three miles away from the town, he saw thick smoke billowing above the town, so he urged his horse to move forward quickly. He saw a courtyard at the entrance of the town, figures flashing beside the collapsed earth wall, and swords clashing.
"It's Zhenyao!" About a mile away, Li Jichen recognized the apprentice who was taller than him. After a few steps, he quickly jumped off the horse. He Qizhou urged the snow dragon horse to follow quickly, but he could only reluctantly
At the same speed as Li Jichen, followed by Xu Mu and Urna.
Dozens of people were seen besieging Lu Zhenyao and Ling Yue, while Chi Yan, dressed in red robe, took action outside the encirclement. Behind Lu Zhenyao and Ling Yue, Urhan, covered in blood, was leaning against the corner, as if he could no longer move. 2
The people are also in trouble. Not only do they have to face scimitars attacking from three sides, but they also have to beware of Gongsun Yi and Yuwen Pavilion's black hands. What makes them most uncomfortable is the poison darts that can attack from all angles at any time.
Chi Yan didn't seem to be in a hurry to finish the battle. He just stood behind the group of Yulin guards, with a few darts floating in the air beside him. When he found an opening, he threw them at the two of them. Only when the opponent used a trick, Chi Yan would
He called Yuwenge and Gongsun Yi, and the three of them worked together to neutralize the sword energy for Yulin Wei.
Ling Yue had already used two swords with his Sanjue Sword, while Lu Zhenyao had used six swords with his Guangling Sword. The two of them had quite a lot of wounds from swords, swords and darts, and they probably bled even more than Urhan.
Although they knew that they could not escape this disaster, the two of them had already agreed to use the last sword on Chi Yan's head. Unexpectedly, the cunning monk just hid in the distance and attacked.
Lingyue knew that if he continued like this, he might not even be able to use the last sword, so he said: "Brother Lu, take him away, I'm going to use the sword!"
