The war horses neighed, and the grass-keeper's camp was already a river of blood.
Qin Xiao didn't care about that at this time, and rushed over on horseback to assist Wang Dang and others. He galloped close and slashed with his sword. Wang Dang and the four were under great pressure, and two of them were even injured. Qin Xiao joined the battle group,
The situation turned around instantly, and the morale of several people was shaken.
Lu Xiaolou just rode around on horseback and did not engage in close combat with the masked cavalry. In a moment, he shot and killed two more people. Qin Xiao attacked fiercely and killed another person. But in this moment, more than ten masked cavalry had already
Half of them were lost, and only six or seven people were left to fight. They no longer had any advantage in numbers.
These people obviously also knew that the situation was not good, and some people shouted loudly, calling for the companions on the grass guard's side to come for reinforcements.
They originally thought that they would dispatch more than ten cavalrymen, which would be enough to wipe out all the caravans here. When they discovered that the situation here was critical, more than ten more cavalrymen immediately rushed over.
Before those people got close, Qin Xiao had already heard a low sound coming from the ground. The sound came from the northeast. Soon he heard the sound of horse hooves again. The sound of the hooves was as rapid as raindrops. His heart trembled. Then he saw
The two cavalrymen retreated and then shouted loudly toward the northeast.
Reinforcements!
Qin Xiao reacted immediately.
This group of masked cavalry actually includes more than a few dozen people, and there are also reinforcements rushing here.
Hearing the sound of horse hooves, he knew that the enemy had a large number of reinforcements. Once he was surrounded by masked cavalry and the enemy was outnumbered, he might be able to break out of the encirclement with a bloody way, but Wang Dang and others would probably die here.
"Go to the barren mountains!" Qin Xiao did not hesitate and made a decisive decision, shouting loudly: "Retreat to the barren mountains on horseback and ignore the goods." He waved his sword to block the masked cavalry and buy Wang Dang and others time to mount their horses.
Wang Dang and others did not hesitate, rushed to the horse one after another, got on their horses, and then saw Qin Xiao charging towards the north, and they all followed him.
Qin Xiao looked towards the grass-guard camp, where there were corpses everywhere. He vaguely saw that not only were men fighting with the masked cavalry, but there were also several women fighting. However, the situation was already quite dangerous, so he could only shout loudly over there.
Said: "Barren mountain, barren mountain!"
He couldn't care about the many things, so he took the lead and retreated toward the barren mountain. Lu Xiaolou urged his horse to follow, shooting arrows from time to time to stop the masked cavalry from behind.
It was dark all around. Qin Xiao saw the location of the barren mountain before it got dark. At this time, he could only rush towards it in the direction he remembered.
The camp was only about ten miles away from the barren mountains. Qin Xiao and his party were chasing their horses and running wildly. At first, there were only a dozen cavalry chasing them. Soon they heard the sound of more horse hooves coming over. They turned around and saw more than a dozen cavalry.
The grass guards also retreated, apparently hearing their shouts just now, and they all retreated towards the barren hills.
The enemy's reinforcements in the distance are getting closer and closer. Qin Xiao knows very well that if he continues to stay in the camp, there will be no danger to defend the surroundings. On the grassland, the war horses can gallop back and forth. Facing a large number of masked cavalry, he can still
If he has the strength to fight, others may not be able to resist him at all.
If they could retreat to the barren mountains and the war horses could not climb the mountain, the two sides would fall into a positional battle. Even so, the masked cavalry still had an absolute numerical advantage, but with the barren mountains as a barrier, they could at least persevere.
After more than ten miles, Qin Xiao rode his horse to the foot of the mountain. This barren mountain was a pure stone mountain with no grass growing on it. The rocks were rugged and rugged, and the horses stopped moving forward.

Qin Xiao dismounted his horse and turned around and said: "Dismount and go up the mountain." Holding the knife, he took the lead to go up the mountain. Others also dismounted and climbed up the mountain. The group of grass guards had also arrived, and they all dismounted and climbed the mountain.
Qin Xiao's body was light and he climbed the mountain very quickly, but it was a bit difficult for everyone else.
When the pursuers from behind arrived, everyone also climbed up the stone mountain. The masked cavalry did not hesitate and dismounted and climbed the mountain to pursue them. Lu Xiaolou's movement skills were second only to Qin Xiao's. When he evacuated from the camp, others
He didn't take it, but he took two arrow boxes from the truck and took them with him. At this moment, he went up the mountain and found a suitable place. He saw the masked cavalry also dismounted and climbed the mountain to chase after them. Without hesitation, they bent their bows and nocked arrows, and fired arrows repeatedly. In the blink of an eye,
Three masked cavalrymen had already been killed by arrows.
Although only Lu Xiaolou posed a fatal threat to the enemy, three people were killed in an instant. The other companions were also horrified. Everyone who had been chasing them on the mountain turned around and went down the mountain, not daring to climb back up.
Everyone found their own place and hid behind the rocks to guard against the enemy's bows and arrows. There was a lot of noise down the mountain. Not long after, Qin Xiao heard the earth shaking like thunder. He looked down from a high place and saw dots of starlight appearing in the distance. As the light gradually came closer,
I could see that someone was holding a torch, and by the dim light of the fire, I could vaguely see densely packed cavalry coming towards the barren mountain from a distance.
Qin Xiao frowned, his expression solemn.
The opponent has a large number of people. Even if we add the dozen or so defenders on our side, there are only about 20 people. We are facing them head-on. There is no hope of victory. Even if we want to break out, it will be extremely difficult.
Ximen Hao obviously also saw that something was wrong with the situation, his face was horrified, he glanced at Qin Xiao, and said angrily: "It's my fault, I have to rest at the foot of the barren mountain, otherwise...!"
"It's not your fault." Qin Xiao interrupted immediately, knowing that Ximen Hao was blaming himself for putting himself in a desperate situation. If he hadn't settled down at the grass guardian's camp tonight, he wouldn't have been involved in this fight.
But Qin Xiao was very confused. There were only a few dozen people in the grass-guarding camp, but there were hundreds of these masked cavalry. If it were really horse bandits attacking the camp, there would be no need for so many people, and there would be no need for them at all.
No need to hide your face.
Why did they attack the Grass Keeper camp?
He couldn't help turning his head to look at the grass-guards not far away. He saw those grass-guards lying behind the rocks, each holding their sabers tightly, as if they were ready to fight the masked cavalry at any time. Several of them were in full armor.
The armed women, one of whom was lying on the ground, was obviously seriously injured, and someone was taking care of her.
His eyes swept around and finally landed on one of the women.
The woman had a plump figure, bulging forward and backward, like a female leopard. The cotton-padded jacket on her left arm was broken into pieces. She had obviously been stabbed, and the extent of the injury was unknown. At this moment, she was hiding behind the rock, holding the saber tightly in her hand, with a solemn expression, and
Didn't pay attention to Qin Xiao.
The reinforcements of the masked cavalry finally arrived at the foot of the mountain. Looking down from a high position, it was completely dark. There were at least seventy or eighty people in total. Adding the previous team of people and horses, there were hundreds of people.
Qin Xiao saw the plump woman wiping her saber with the cotton clothes on her body, obviously preparing to fight.
The people at the foot of the mountain screamed, but the people on the mountain were in full formation to prepare for the attack.
After a while, I saw several masked cavalry pushing a few people forward. Under the firelight, I could see clearly that they were four women. Their clothes were almost exactly the same as those of the women among the grass guards. They were all
Leather girdle, wrist and ankle bracers, but the four
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The woman's felt hat was gone, her hair was disheveled, and her arms were tied behind her back.
The commotion at the bottom of the mountain has calmed down. They all stepped forward slowly, holding sabers in hand. Unlike other masked cavalry, this man was wearing a black cloak and his face was not masked. Under the firelight, Qin Xiao could clearly see
He wore a ferocious ghost mask on his face.
"Tage, I heard that these women accompany you day and night, and you regard them as your sisters." The masked man said in a loud voice toward the mountain: "Now that they are in danger, are you willing to die without saving them?"
Qin Xiao and Ximen Hao both changed their colors when they heard the word "tag".
Qin Xiao naturally already knew that the so-called "Tage" was equivalent to the princess of the Tang Dynasty. The daughters of the great Khans of various tribes were honored as Tage.
The masked man shouted "Tage" at this time. Could it be that among the women on the mountain, there was actually a Tage?
At this moment, the women on the mountain seemed very excited when they saw the masked cavalry pushing their companions out. The plump woman Qin Xiao had just noticed was about to stand up, but a woman next to him had already grabbed her arm.
He said anxiously: "Tage, don't be fooled!"
Qin Xiao was surprised, as he didn't expect that this woman with a hot figure was actually Tag.
"We just want to invite Tagg to be a guest. As long as Tagg comes with us, we won't embarrass anyone else." The masked man said loudly: "Because Tagg has already shed too much blood. If Tagg continues,
Resistance will only cause more people to bleed. It is said that Wu Qingtage loves the people like a son and is kind-hearted. If this is the case, why let more people die?" When he raised his arm, the saber in his hand was already placed on a female prisoner's hand.
On his neck, he said loudly: "Is Tagg willing to see him die in front of his eyes?"
Ximen Hao's body trembled, he looked at the plump woman, leaned close to Qin Xiao's ear and whispered: "It's Zhen Yubu Tag!"
Qin Xiao was even more surprised. He couldn't help but look towards Wu Qingtage. When he saw Wu Qingtage clenched his fist with one hand, his body was trembling slightly. He was obviously anxious and angry at the moment, but he was helpless.
"Do you know which tribe these people at the foot of the mountain belong to?" Qin Xiao asked Ximen Hao in a low voice.
Ximen Hao shook his head and whispered: "They wear the most common fur coats on the grassland, and the felt hats on their heads are also the most common sheepskin. Any tribe can dress like this. Just from their clothes, you can't tell their origins.
"After a pause, he said in Qin Xiao's ear: "But the tage of the Zhenyu tribe is called Zhenyu Wuqing. He is very loved by the people of the Zhenyu tribe. I heard that he is the most beautiful woman in the Modong grassland, with outstanding abilities, and even
There are rumors that she is likely to be the heir to the Khan throne."
Qin Xiao was some distance away from Wu Qingtage and whispered, not worried about being overheard.
"Isn't this pasture protected by the True Feathers?" Qin Xiao frowned and said, "How could anyone dare to attack the True Feathers within the sphere of influence of the True Feathers?"
Ximen Hao was also confused and said: "It's really strange. Some tribes in this area are protected by the True Feathers, and they don't have any strength to dare to be enemies with the True Feathers. It's simply unbelievable that these cavalry are chasing the True Feathers.
"
"Who are you?" Suddenly a voice came from Tag's side, and Wu Qing Tag said loudly: "Who ordered you to chase me?"
The masked man said loudly: "Tage is coming with us. You will naturally know who wants to see you." He raised his arm and hung the saber on the woman's neck. He said coldly: "If Tage doesn't come down the mountain, her head will be destroyed."
