Under the eyes of hundreds of warriors, Wu Qingtage and his men rescued three prisoners, and all of them escaped unharmed. This kind of thing would be a lifelong shame for any prairie warrior.
Everyone knows that there are not many people on the mountain, and even if they have a favorable location, they cannot stop the warriors' attack.
A small number of people were left at the bottom of the mountain to provide cover with bows and arrows. The other seventy or eighty people abandoned their horses and climbed the mountain. Encouraged by the reward promised by the masked man, they were determined to kill everyone on the mountain.
The ant-like cavalrymen scrambled up the mountain.
The reward for killing Tagg is even richer than the chiefs of some small tribes. Even if it is only ten cows, it can make a family of herders live a very prosperous life.
It’s just that this barren mountain lives up to its name. It is indeed a barren rocky mountain where even birds don’t poop. It is not easy to climb up. You can sprain your feet if you are not careful. Moreover, the edges of many rocks are very sharp, and there are even many stones.
In the shape of spikes, the cavalrymen rushed up the mountain and were even crowded at one point. Many of them were knocked down between the rocks by their companions before they could fight, and were instantly injured.
Several agile cavalrymen climbed up the mountainside. Everywhere they looked were rugged rocks. For a while, they couldn't even see a single figure on the mountain. They were searching for themselves, but suddenly a few figures jumped out from behind the rocks on the side, waving their swords.
cut.
Although the cavalry was cautious and prepared to meet the enemy, it was difficult to gain a foothold on the mountain. Someone suddenly slashed at them with a sword from the side, so they inevitably stepped back. The feet were uneven. Although they managed to adjust their steps to stabilize their bodies, they were unable to move quickly.
Make an enemy response.
These people who came out were all grass-guards. They were determined to fight the cavalry and their attacks were extremely fierce.
Hearing the screams, several people had been ambushed by the ambush. The cavalry behind saw the figure of the grass guard, and without hesitation, they rushed up with shouts.
Ximen Hao knew that if he rushed over at this time, it would only cause chaos, and he would have to dedicate manpower to protect him, so he took three carriage drivers and followed Chi Luo Yun up the mountain to find a way out.
Although this barren mountain is a landmark on the grassland, it is a deserted small rocky mountain. No one is usually interested in going up the mountain, and there is no way to go up the mountain. The rocks are rugged, and if you are not careful, you will be struck by the sharp edges of the rocks.
Hurt.
He knew what Qin Xiao meant, and wanted to find a dangerous place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack as a retreat. However, although this rocky mountain was not big, it had many gaps in the crisscrossing boulders, and it was difficult to see its appearance in the night.
Qin Xiao's movements were flexible, but at this moment he was jumping around like an ape between the rocks. From time to time, he suddenly appeared from behind the rocks beside the cavalry, and his attacks were swift and fierce. In a matter of seconds, several people were killed by him.
Under the knife.
It's just that there are too many people on the other side. There are only a few people on Qin Xiao's side who can really pose a fatal threat to the masked cavalry. Needless to say, Qin Xiao is very good at martial arts. Lu Xiaolou's movement skills are also flexible and he can change positions continuously.
The arrows are very sharp, and although Wu Qingtage is a female, he is also very brave, agile, and the sword is quick and sharp. These three people are enough to deal with any masked cavalry.
However, several female Eagle Guards, Wang Dang and others could only barely protect themselves. Although they were all brave people with rich combat experience, these masked cavalry were obviously elite warriors on the grassland, and their individual combat capabilities were not the same.
Not weak, the dozen grass guards who retreated to the mountain were clearly no match for the masked cavalry. During the fighting, several grass guards had been hacked to death by the masked cavalry.
Although Qin Xiao and Wu Qingtage tried their best to rescue, there were too many masked cavalry, and they were not afraid of death. They killed one, and two more immediately rushed towards them. Before long, the air was filled with a strong
The taste of blood.
"Fight and retreat at the same time!" Qin Xiao saw that the situation was critical and knew that continuing the fight would be dangerous. He waved his sword to force the cavalry to retreat while shouting at the crowd.
The masked cavalry gradually forced the crowd up the mountain, and suddenly they heard a voice shouting from above: "This way, get back here!"
Everyone had no other choice at this time. They retreated following Chi Luo Yun's voice. Qin Xiao and Wu Qingtage stayed behind to break up the rear. The two fought side by side, covering the retreat of others and retreating while fighting. However, these
The cavalry also realized how powerful Qin Xiao was. They knew that this man was extremely vicious and that if he targeted him, he would die. Once they had fear in their hearts, they were a little afraid. However, a large group of people swung their swords to kill Qin Xiao and Wu Qingta.
Ge was forced to retreat towards the mountain, but he did not dare to rush forward.
Chi Luo Yun was standing between a narrow mountain crevice at this time. Only one person could pass through this stone crevice. There were stone walls sloping inward on both sides. Under the command of Chi Luo Yun, everyone pushed into the stone crevice one by one.
Among them, Ximen Hao walked at the front and followed the stone peak for a long way. When he finally walked out, he found that he had reached the top of a mountain. The top of the mountain was a fairly spacious place, covered with a layer of snow.
It was surrounded by nothingness, and there was no other place to reach the top of the mountain except for the crack in the rocks. I felt miserable in my heart.
This is certainly an excellent defensive place. As long as you hold the stone crevice, you can stop the masked cavalry from coming up. However, there is only one way down the mountain. In other words, although the masked cavalry cannot come up, but when they get here
, as long as the other party sticks to the narrow corridor, no one can even think of going down.
He lay down and looked down at the edge of the mountain top, and smiled bitterly. There were cliffs all around, and there was a barb-like rock below. If he lost his footing and fell, he would be shattered to pieces.
Qin Xiao and Wu Qingtage retreated to the corridor. Qin Xiao signaled Chiluo Yun to take Wu Qingtage in first, and he stayed at the entrance. A dense crowd of masked cavalry followed. Qin Xiao clenched the knife in his hand and waited for Wu Qing.
After Tag and the others entered, they slowly stepped back.
After retreating to the top of the mountain, several people immediately blocked the exit, watching out for the masked cavalry chasing after them.
Qin Xiao went up to the top of the mountain and looked around. He found that the top of the mountain was quite spacious and there was no crowd on the top of the mountain. However, after a fight just now, six or seven people were killed, including the four who followed him to the grassland.
Among the guards, one person was actually killed by the masked cavalry. The total number was less than twenty, and several others were injured. His companions were helping to treat the wounds.
He stood on the edge of the top of the mountain and looked down. He could vaguely see the situation at the bottom of the mountain. He found that there was still a large group of people gathered at the entrance of the corridor. Several people were talking there, but the wind was howling, and Qin Xiao was still there.
I really can't hear what is being said.
"The situation is not good." Ximen Hao came over and whispered: "This top of the mountain is surrounded by cliffs, and we have retreated to a dead end."
In fact, Qin Xiao knew that the situation was dire without Ximen Hao's reminder.
After Wu Qingtage reached the top of the mountain, he did not relax. He circled the top of the mountain in a big circle, his pretty face also showed a solemn look, Chi Luo Yun followed him, and at this moment he also discovered the fatal place, and said guiltily: "Tower
Ge, it’s...it’s my fault, I...!”
"I don't blame you!" Wu Qingtage sighed, knowing that in the life-and-death situation just now, Chiluo Yun had no time to think more. If he retreated here, he could at least ensure that the masked cavalry could not come over.
But it also completely cut off everyone's retreat.
She felt a little desperate. For some reason, she couldn't help but look over to Qin Xiao. When she saw Qin Xiao and Ximen Hao talking on the edge of the cliff, she hesitated for a moment before walking over.
When Ximen Hao saw Wu Qing Tage approaching, he didn't want to lose his etiquette. He crossed his arms across his chest and saluted, saying: "Ximen Hao, a businessman from the Tang Dynasty, has met Tage!"
Wu Qingtage nodded slightly and asked, "Are you businessmen from Tang State?"
"Exactly." Ximen Hao said.
"Businessmen from the Tang Dynasty rarely come to the grasslands in winter. How could you come here in this season?" Wu Qingtage was a little confused: "You only brought two carts of goods, but all the goods were sold out?"
Ximen Hao glanced at Qin Xiao and could only nod his head and said: "I originally brought more than a dozen carts of goods, but when I arrived at the company headquarters, I met the wolf cavalry of Duer's Regiment. They had a commander nearby. I heard that
It was said that Tiehan Khan of Duer's army was going to marry his daughter next year, so the captain bought all the other goods."
"That's it." Wu Qingtage understood, then looked at Qin Xiao and asked: "Who is he to you?"
"This is my nephew Ximen Yang." Ximen Hao said immediately: "This is the first time I have come to the grassland, and I also want to have some experience on the grassland."
Wu Qingtage looked at Qin Xiao and said, "You are very good at martial arts. Thank you for today."
"You're welcome." Qin Xiao said, "Are you Ta Ge from the True Feather Department?"
Wuqing Tage nodded, Qin Xiao raised his finger and pointed at the masked cavalry at the foot of the mountain and asked: "Who are they? Why are they chasing Tage?"
Wu Qingtage stood on the edge of the cliff, looked down the mountain, shook his head and said: "I don't know. On the way to the racecourse with my men, I suddenly encountered this group of cavalry of unknown origin. They were very ferocious. We suffered heavy losses. The soldiers
We split into two groups and led people to run westward. When we arrived at the barren mountain, two sisters were too seriously injured to continue. They could only heal their injuries at the Grass Keeper's camp. But we didn't expect that they actually found us. Another group of people found us.
, it should have been...!" At this point, his expression became sad.
"Tage, the Zhenyu tribe is one of the three major tribes of Xile. Most people would never dare to be so cruel to Tage of the Zhenyu tribe." Qin Xiaodao frowned and said: "There are hundreds of these pursuers, and they must be
They have undergone rigorous training and are brave and good at fighting. It is difficult for ordinary tribes to mobilize so many brave cavalry. In the entire Modong grassland, there are probably not many tribes with such strength." After a pause, he continued: "
And they are all masked, so naturally they don’t want their faces to be seen, maybe there are people Tag knows among them.”
