Chapter 2858: If you can’t beat me, call your parents
The white-armored thief...is really chasing me?
Murong Qinggu even doubted whether he had heard something wrong?
This is the hinterland of Hexi, only about three hundred miles away from the royal court of Tuyuhun...
Li's child is simply too much of a bully!
After several days of frenzied pursuit, my father and I were chasing each other, just like a bereaved dog. Now that we are under the Dragon Court of Tuyuhun, how dare the white-armored dog thief dare to be so arrogant?
Do you think I, Murong Xianbei, am all made of clay?
Murong Qinggu suddenly felt angry in his heart, gritted his teeth, and flew onto the horse:
"The Dragon Court is approaching, with the Great Khan's 100,000 cavalry in front to support him, and Father Khan's thousands of elite reinforcements behind him. Why should there be hundreds of white-armored thieves to fear? Sons and gentlemen, don't be afraid of the enemy, follow me and kill...
”
With a roar in his mouth, Murong Qinggu pulled out his saber with a bang.
For some reason, it felt like the knife was hundreds of times brighter than usual. A cold light came into view, and it stung Murong Qing's solitary eye.
No...it's not Daoguang...
Murong Qinggu raised his head fiercely: a flash of lightning flashed, and scarlet flames bloomed instantly, like a coquettish flower.
It was like a huge ball of light exploding violently. There was a loud noise as loud as the sky, and the heat wave was mixed with flying sand and rocks, hitting the bodies and faces of people and horses.
The miserable howls and roars that had just stopped because Li Liang led his troops to withdraw and stopped firing arrows started up again.
Thick smoke rose into the sky like an overwhelming sandstorm, and the ancient city wall was like an old, lingering giant, groaning feebly and painfully.
In just a few breaths, the broken wall and doorway collapsed suddenly, as if an earth dragon turned over, and the earth shook violently.
It’s not that I’ve never seen thunder, but when have you ever seen lightning strike so close?
A real earthquake that shakes the heavens and the earth!
In addition to fear and panic, everyone naturally had a thought: The power of heaven and earth cannot be stopped by human beings...
People are just afraid, but horses are frightened!
Hundreds of horses neighed in unison, and the sound was so sharp that it seemed as if the sky would be torn open. No matter how skilled the knight was, he could no longer control the horses under his crotch.
The closer the war horses were to the explosion site, the faster they frightened, scurrying around like headless flies. With a burst of "plop, plop," and screams, hundreds of knights were thrown off their horses.
For a time, everything under Suiting became a mess.
Murong Qinggu, who had just stepped onto the horse and was not more than ten breaths old, was thrown off the horse again and fell heavily to the ground.
His back felt like needles pricking him. In the past, Murong Qinggu would have grimaced in pain even if he didn't scream, but at this time he didn't even say a word.
Murong didn't even know how to dodge when a horse's hooves came.
Fortunately, the leader of the personal guard had quick eyesight and quick hands, and shot the horse, causing the horse to move over in pain.
With just a tiny bit of difference, Murong Qinggu's head was crushed.
The guard was so frightened that he jumped off his horse and helped him up: "Your Majesty... His Majesty?"
Murong Qinggu seemed as if he hadn't heard anything. His face was pale and bloodless, his eyes were bulging, and his throat was like a beast, neighing "ho ho ho".
No, this is not a thunder at all!
Being the closest, I could see clearly: This thunder definitely exploded from the ground!
But Mahayana Dharma King Liu Huiwang said personally: There is no such thing as a thunder from the ground in this world...
The time Li Chengzhi blew up Anwu City, it was definitely not a thunderbolt, but something man-made by some unknown means...
Just like this!
But what is the difference between such power and thunder?
And how can we defeat such an enemy?
Just for a moment, endless fear rushed through his body. Murong Qinggu seemed to be frightened out of his mind. He bulged his eyes fiercely: "It's not the sky thunder, it's the white-armored thief...it's Li..."
Before the three words "Li Chengzhi" could be shouted neatly, they were covered up by a sharp and long voice.
Two hundred copper whistles blew at the same time, just like a thousand birds emerging from the forest, eagles chirping and cranes chirping. Not to mention Murong Qinggu's sharp shouts, even the neighing sounds of hundreds of horses frightened by the explosion were suppressed.
Go on.
The sound of hoofbeats was like thunder, and the dark cavalry formation was like an iron cliff, pressing in from east to west.
Not only are the knights flashing with cold light, but even the horses are covered in iron armor. Looking at their formation, there might be thousands of riders?
Although they changed into black armor, the more than two thousand Hu soldiers will never forget the unique copper whistle.
This is definitely a white cavalry with both men and horses, and there are thousands of them.
Everyone couldn't help but think of what King Zuo Guli (Murong Ding) said with emotion just a few days ago: A white knight is less than a thousand, but a thousand is invincible...
Murong Qinggu suddenly recalled that night, when five thousand Tuyuhun elites were driven away like dogs by a thousand white cavalry...
He also recalled that a few days ago, he and his father Khan traveled through six towns, finally evading the interception and killing in several towns in the north, and when they bypassed Gaoping and tried to escape from Longshan to Hexi, the hundreds of white people appeared like ghosts.
Ride...
I just thought that the first half of the month was full of hardships and dangers. Don’t you know that from that day on, the nightmare begins?
After traveling through six towns in half a month, only a few hundred of his men were lost. However, in the last five or six days, Erlang was killed or wounded just by the pursuit of five or six hundred white-armored thieves and a group of ragtag men who had just learned to ride.
Nearly two thousand...
Murong Qing suddenly trembled, as if he had suddenly woken up. His heart was no longer as determined and heroic as before. It was as if water had been poured on his head, and beads of sweat were dripping down his hair.
.
If this person were hit head-on, even an iron mountain would be smashed into pieces...
He almost used all his strength and shouted loudly: "It's the white-armored thieves riding... blowing the trumpet... everyone enters the city..."
Mounting an ownerless war horse, Murong Qinggu had just stepped over the flint wall when the black-armored cavalry formation rushed past behind him like a torrent of steel.
The Hu soldiers were already in chaos, but after the thunder exploded, the chaos became even more chaotic. How could they still maintain their formation?
Li Rui led 200 armored cavalry and 400 prepared horses, just like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.
Just a few breaths later, the miserable howls of Hu soldiers were heard outside the city again...
……
Li Liang was running southward along the Sui Wall. When he heard the roar behind him, he staggered in shock and almost fell off the Sui Wall.
He was not as panicked as when the thunder sounded just now.
White-armored thief knight?
He looked at the shiny black steel armor on his body...
After escaping into Longshan that night, all the soldiers tore off all the linen and felt linings outside the steel armor. The White Armor Battalion no longer wears white armor!
But how did these Hu soldiers recognize them?
As he was feeling startled and doubtful, Li Liang suddenly turned his head when he heard a scream behind him, and saw several Hu Qi rushing into Duncheng, howling like crazy.
Looking further forward, at the broken wall more than ten feet to the south, Lang Jun stood up with his spear drawn, with a proud look on his face.
And there are only about a dozen personal guards beside you?
Although he knew that Lang Jun was trying to lure the enemy, Li Liang was still so frightened that his hair stood on end.
He yelled: "Quick, quick, quick..."
Are you proud?
Li Chengzhi was simply stunned.
White-armored thief?
It’s a long-lost title...
But the problem is, this is Hexi, not Jingzhou, and not even a single soldier, including myself, wears white armor. How did these Hu soldiers recognize them?
No... when delivering orders, all the ministries use the unique copper whistle of the Baijia Battalion. As long as the enemy thieves take over the battle with the Baijia Battalion, they will definitely be able to fight against the number...
When he saw the dirty and ragged clothes of those Hu soldiers and the skinny horses under their crotches, and then thought of Li Liang's conclusion that "this was a group of defeated soldiers, and they had at least attacked thousands of miles away," Li Chengzhi felt dizzy.
Finally, we know where this group of Tuyuhun soldiers from the north came from.
This is clearly the group who rebelled with Liu Huiwang.
When Li Song fled with his troops, he was afraid that these random cavalry would cause trouble, so Huangfu Rang and Li Feng drove him to the east of Jingzhou. After that, Li Chengzhi never took care of him again.
He thought that Gaoping Town, Bogulu Town, or Liu Town north of Jingzhou had been wiped out long ago.
Who would have thought that this gang of thieves would be so tenacious that they could break through the encirclement and escape back?
Is this more than just enemies on the same road?
What's more important is that this is at the doorstep of someone else's home...
The mountains and rivers have not changed, and I am afraid that today it will be reversed, and it will be my turn to be driven out like a dog...
Li Chengzhi is confused, and Murong Qinggu is even more confused.
How big can a Suiting Pavilion that lights fires and smokes to watch and communicate?
The ten-foot-square dome is sky-high.
Standing out like a flock of chickens, Murong Qinggu saw that proud figure as soon as he rushed into the fire wall.
What he saw in his eyes was that there were only a dozen of them riding on them, and they were only ten feet away from him at most. He could kill them with just one quick dash.
But for some unknown reason, Murong Qinggu felt a sudden chill in her heart, and her hair seemed to stand on end. As if she was blessed, four words suddenly appeared in her mind: A disaster is imminent!
"Xu..."
Murong Qinggu shouted loudly, as if he had used up all his strength to feed himself. He reined in the horse hard and stopped at least ten steps away from Li Chengzhi.
The two of them were so close that Murong Qinggu could even count them, and several stubbles appeared on Li Chengzhi's chin.
When we met yesterday, didn’t they all still have long beards? When we meet again today, why are we suddenly so young?
No...
Although they look alike, the one I saw yesterday is much older and uglier than the one in front of me...
Rumors about Li Chengzhi suddenly popped up in Murong Qinggu's mind: He has peerless appearance, unparalleled intelligence and courage...
This is the real Li Chengzhi...
Is this Li Chengzhi?
A surge of hatred surged into his heart, and Murong Qinggu wanted to tear a hole in the sky. He roared angrily: "Thief, take your life..."
Before he could even say the word "come", when he noticed Li Chengzhi's sudden movement, Murong Qinggu's pupils shrank, and his eyes were about to burst: "How dare you..."
Li Chengzhi smiled coldly: You talk a lot of nonsense?
Most of the other Hu soldiers were wearing tatters, even if they were wearing armor, they were only half-length armor. But this one was the only one who not only wore full fish-scale armor, but the horse under his crotch was even half-length armor...
How could he miss such a conspicuous target?
Li Chengzhi's body reacted naturally without even going through his brain.
Untying the bow, drawing the arrow, and pulling the string...the movements are all done in one go, like flowing clouds and flowing water.
Between the electric light and flint, there was only a "bang" sound, and an iron arrow was like a shooting star, shooting straight at the door facing Murong Qinggu.
As soon as he said "I dare you", before the words were even finished, Murong Qinggu raised his arms, barely blocking his face.
There was a sound of "chi", a burst of blood flew up, and another howl was heard.
The iron arrow penetrated the arm armor, shot through Murong Qinggu's left arm, and was nailed to the second layer of arm armor.
Although it did not penetrate the armor leaf again, the remaining force was so great that it knocked Murong Qinggu off his horse.
This is already the third time Murong Qinggu has been defeated...
Li Liang sighed: What a pity.
We were on the north wall just now. If it were Lang Jun, how could General Hu be alive?
However, this bandit is really lucky. He was hit by cold arrows twice in a row, but he escaped both times.
Gao Wenjun's eyes widened in shock. He was even more surprised than when he heard the thunder just now. His eyes seemed to be frozen, as if he could not turn.
"Then General Hu is wearing iron armor?"
Li Liang couldn't help but laugh: "Madam, do you think it's made of paper?"
Although Lang Jun's bow is not as heavy as the one Xi Zhengshou gave him, which weighs four stones, it is still a two-stone bow, and it is equipped with special steel arrows.
At such a close distance, it is not surprising to shoot through a nail leaf that is at best the size of wrought iron.
"He...where did he get such strength?" Gao Wenjun asked in a trembling voice.
In the past, I had only heard that Emperor Taiwu had such magical power. In this dynasty, it seems that only Xi Kangsheng, the guard in Guanzhong, was the most brave, using a three-stone bow and an iron arrow weighing a pound.
But that was just what I heard, but today, I saw it with my own eyes...
Li Liang felt a strange feeling in his heart: Where did Mr. Lang get such strength?
Of course, I inherited it from my wife...
I don’t know what it will be like when my wife finds out in the future that the husband has fallen in love with a woman who is nearly 10 years old and has never been married before.
I heard that because of Zhang Sima’s niece, Lang Jun was almost pinned down in the ancestral hall by Erlang and his wife and beaten violently.
What if you meet this one?
Although he knew he shouldn't, and under such circumstances, Li Liang couldn't help but look forward to it...
"Li Chengzhi...you are too bullying..."
Murong Qinggu's hair was disheveled, her eyes were as red as blood, and she looked like a crazy demon.
But no matter how piercingly he yelled, no matter how overwhelming the hatred in his heart was, he just hid behind the horse, not even getting on the horse, not even daring to show his head...
In the past two decades, I and my father Khan have experienced countless dangers and suffered many hardships. Less than two thousand of the more than five thousand men have died before they managed to escape here.
Seeing that he is about to return home and reunite with his wife and children, Li Chengzhi's ghost is still lingering, blocking the place he must pass like a roadblock?
This is to cut off my last hope of survival...
Murong Qinggu felt as if a fire was igniting in his chest, which was about to explode.
"Blow the trumpet... Yufuhan plays the trombone..."
Li Chengzhi couldn't help but sneered: Father Khan?
It should be Murong Ding, the king of Tuyuhun and Zuoguli who was sent by Fulianchao to help Liu Huiwang in his uprising.
Then the person in front of me must be his son Murong Qinggu?
It's ridiculous to think about it: Brother, you are the heir apparent of King Tuguhun Zuohan after all. If you can't beat him, do you have to call him a parent?
But before he could laugh, Li Chengzhi’s scalp suddenly felt numb: That’s not right!
Looking at this posture, Hu Bing is more than meets the eye.
