There was a smear of whiteness on the sky, Father Sun was still rubbing his eyes, but did not open them, the faint morning light shrouded the grassland, and it did not improve people's sight. After last night's carnival, the people of the small tribe were still immersed in drunkenness and drowsiness, so they should not have felt the call of the morning sun, but gradually, voices sounded from the tribe's curtains, and it seemed that many people woke up.
What awakened the people of the tribe was not the rising sun, but the sound of thunderous horseshoes coming from behind the tribe, and a large area of noisy horseshoes in front of the tribe. In all directions, it seemed that countless cavalry were approaching.
In the morning light, Fan Xian looked calm. He took a last look at Haitang, picked up the knife she gave Liangzi from his feet, and solemnly put it in his arms.
"Goodbye, I hope I don't have to wait another three years." Fan Xian said to Haitang seriously. There were streaks of blood on Haitang's lips, which looked very pitiful, but the arrangements on the grassland had already started, Wang Ting Shan Yu had already sent troops to catch up, if he wanted to get out, he could only go now.
Haitang didn't know how he was going to go, because the sound of horseshoes came from all directions, it seemed that Wang Ting's cavalry had surrounded the grassland, and she gave him a complicated look.
This glance seemed to be like a heavy hammer, hitting Fan Xian's body, causing his body to float obliquely towards the meadow behind him, drifting relaxedly and joyfully but in a state of ecstasy.
I can't see how his toes were kicking the ground. Fan Xian's body seemed to be tied with a thin rope around his waist, like a kite. He slumped backwards and gradually accelerated, turning into a vague figure in the morning light, walking gradually. Gradually, it gradually became smaller and merged into a large cloud of smoke and dust coming from the left front of the tribe.
The smoke and dust looked like free wild horses running wild on the grassland. Beside the group of horses, there were more than a dozen prairie men holding on to the lasso, as if they had been following the group of wild horses for days and nights, waiting to catch them in one fell swoop. top horse.
Haitang watched the scene quietly, knowing that this group of wild horses was just an illusion, Fan Xian must have arranged for his team in advance. Seeing Fan Xian drifting away without disturbing the smoke and dust, she knew that she hadn't seen him for three years. This young friend from the Southern Dynasties had successfully integrated the Tianyi method and the domineering true energy in his body, and stood firmly on the Nine The pinnacle of quality is almost touching the limit of human beings.
No wonder he was so confident that he dared to go deep into the grassland and launch an offensive against Wang Ting and Zuo Xian Wang's tent in the dark. With such a realm, unless the great master reappears in the grassland, who can beat him
However, the sound of cavalry sprinting could be heard from the three sides behind him. Shan Yu Speedida had endured for three days, and he had reached the limit. At this moment, he finally closed the encirclement. To escape the pursuit of more than a thousand cavalry from the royal court
Haitang's eyes narrowed, and a trace of worry could not be restrained. If a strong person on the ninth rank faced the enemy head-on, it would be difficult for them to be defeated. The distance, if you really have to face thousands of troops, how can you survive
The figure of Fan Xian in the distance has landed among the wild horses. It is amazing that those wild horses that are wild, sexually free, and seemingly unwilling to settle down, did not reject Fan Xian's entry, even when Fan Xian sat there. At the time of the top horse, the fierce top horse just shook its neck helplessly, but didn't think about throwing him off.
The sound of horseshoes passed by Haitang's side, with the sound of the wind, grass dregs, and an indomitable momentum, the sturdy cavalry of Xihu Royal Court did not slow down, swept across the meadow, and killed the wild horses in the distance !
The strong wind swept past her body, causing the leather robe on Haitang's body to whir, she wiped the blood from her lips, and bowed her head in silence.
A steed neighed, and stopped at an extremely fast speed. Immediately, the nobleman of the Hu tribe turned around by inertia, and landed beside Haitang with a slap, his feet were as steady as a mountain, showing his extremely wonderful performance. of riding.
The person who came was the owner of the grassland, Shan Yu Su Bida. He glanced at Haitang, anger and resentment gradually appeared in his eyes, and said, "Injured?"
Haitang nodded and smiled with some difficulty.
"Nanqing Fan Xian?" Shan Yu Speedida was tall, with resolute features, and his eyes were shining. He looked at the figure galloping southeast with the wild horses in the distance, and asked softly.
"It's him." Haitang replied softly.
Shanyu Speed will never underestimate any of his enemies, especially such a ruthless character and big shot like Nanqing Fan Xian. He endured for three days, but it was actually three days of preparation. Zu Erlang, please leave this powerful minister of Nanqing on the grassland.
Since the other party dared to go deep into the grassland, get close to the royal court, and challenge his dignity, Shan Yu Su Bida would definitely express his anger in the most direct way.
Wang Ting had made sufficient preparations, confirmed that there were no Qing cavalry patrolling the grassland, and was preparing to meet Fan Xian secretly, but those spies did not notice the herd of wild horses, because wild horses can be seen everywhere on the grassland, the most important thing is , They once saw these wild horses beside a piece of aquatic grass, judging from their jumping posture and habits, this is indeed a group of wild horses.
No one can use wild horses to escape before subduing wild horses. This is a theorem on the grassland, but today this theorem seems to be broken.
There was a lot of smoke and dust in all directions, and more than a thousand cavalrymen from the royal court rushed over, rushed through the tribal tents, and under the shocked and frightened eyes of the Hu people, rushed towards the group of wild horses, and they were about to be three miles away. surrounded the group of horses, the dozen or so men beside the horses, and Fan Xian who was hidden among the wild horses, but...
There was only a long hissing up to the sky, and the wild horses seemed to be driven by some kind of force, and suddenly woke up from the chaos, stretched their body muscles, raised their hooves, and accelerated suddenly, heading towards the southeast of the encirclement. The gap in the direction rushed over!
The morning light was twilight, the wild horses were neighing, and hundreds of horses, against the faint light, exuded black skin, galloping wildly on the grassland, and in just a moment, they rushed out before the cavalry of the king's court encircled them!
This scene has a primitive and powerful beauty, which shocked the minds of countless people.
Shanyu Speeda held the rein in one hand, stood beside Haitang, looked at this scene indifferently, narrowed his eyes slightly, but hid the shock in his heart very well, turned over, jumped onto the steed, and said: Get this little boy back and let him vent his anger on you."
In fact, he has already admitted at this time that this young powerful minister of the Southern Dynasty who can be compared with Songzhi Xianling is definitely not just a bad boy. Just looking at this miraculous ability to manipulate wild horses, I am afraid that he will not be able to find it on the entire grassland. second person.
"The royal court was attacked last night, King Zuoxian was assassinated, and his life or death is unknown." Standing on the meadow, among dozens of Shanyu's guards, Haitang calmly told what Fan Xian confessed.
Shanyu held the reins in both hands, was slightly taken aback, and then put his feet on the horse's belly, and rushed down the meadow.
It turned out that the commissioner of the Qing State Supervisory Council went deep into the grasslands for these things. It was a trivial matter for the royal court to be attacked, as long as the elite cavalry of the Qing Kingdom didn't kill them, what would it matter if some people died? Shan Yu did not expect that the Qing State Supervisory Council was also very selective in killing people, and those people who died played an extremely important role in his ideal of building a country on the grassland.
The key point was the assassination of King Zuo Xian. This news chilled Shan Yu's heart. Could it be that the grassland, which had been quiet for two years, would fall into chaos again because of the death of King Zuo Xian? Thinking of this, he couldn't help cursing inwardly, King Zuo Xian was his clan uncle, he was extremely arrogant in front of him back then, who would have known that the assassins of the Qing Kingdom would kill him with a knife, he was such a jerk.
Shan Yu looked angrily at the smoke and dust in the distance, clamped his horse's belly, and rushed towards the southeast first. Although the little boy used the cover of wild horses to break out of the encirclement beyond everyone's expectations, but on this vast grassland, Shan Yu believed that no one could escape the pursuit of the Royal Court's cavalry.
From here to Qingzhou City at the farthest edge of the Qing Kingdom, even if you don't spare your horsepower and run wildly, it will take about ten days. After ten days of running wildly on the grassland, there is the cavalry of Xihu Royal Court chasing after you. Who can resist it? Shan Yu rode a one-in-a-thousand thousand-mile horse on the grassland. He believed that he would be able to stop Fan Xian. Although Qing Guo was also extremely good at riding and shooting, the people on the grassland still believed that the whole world still belonged to Xi Huerlang. Riding skills are the most exquisite. If they can't catch up with an enemy who can see their shadows on the grassland, they might as well commit suicide.
The morning light is getting brighter, the line of sight between the sky and the earth is getting brighter, and the distorted morning sun protrudes half of the horizon on the east side of the grassland, illuminating everything on the autumn plain.
Haitang looked at everything in front of her quietly, a trace of worry and sadness flashed in her eyes, she saw that on the grassland, the Xihu cavalry like a torrent failed to encircle them. Turning into a fan, Qianqi chased towards the east like a normal person.
And two or three miles in front of these chasing soldiers, hundreds of black wild horses were galloping furiously, producing smoke and dust, like wisps of light smoke, heading east, towards the red sunrise. Suddenly, some people jumped out of the wild horses and got on the horses. I don't know where these people were hiding before, and how they were able to follow the wild horses. More than a hundred heroes of the Qing Dynasty rode on hundreds of horses. On top of a wild horse, galloping on the grassland ruled by the Hu people, before the red sun, the figures of those horses and horses appear so energetic and arrogant.
…
…
The Xihu chasers made a big mistake in judgment. They thought that when it comes to riding skills, Wang Ting's cavalry is naturally unparalleled in the world, no one can match it, and they don't know how those Qing people control the wild horses. They were strong, but they were not as obedient and hardworking as war horses, so they thought that on this flat grassland, it would take at most half a day to catch up with those Qing people who were running day by day.
Shanyu Speedida also thought the same way. He even wondered if he should shoot down the official of the Qing Dynasty named Fan Xian first after he surrounded these Qing people, and not give Princess Songzhi any chance to intercede. .
However, all developments were different from the judgment of the cavalrymen of Xihu King's Court. Half a day passed, and a day passed. The proud knights on the grassland still couldn't catch up with those Qing people, and they couldn't even close the distance. !
The reason is very simple, because the wild horses in the eyes of these barbarians are not wild horses at all, but military horses that have been kept for a long time by the Qing State Supervisory Council. The tribe became a herd of wild horses wandering among the water and grass, all because these horses were drugged.
A drug mixed with ephedrine made the military horses of the Overwatch Council look more active, wilder, and more sexually free than ordinary horses. Moreover, these horses were very careful not to have nails, irons, and manes. The hair has never been tidied up. Once you run, you really have the feeling of... long hair fluttering. No matter who sees it, they will think it is a group of wild horses. That's why that night, under the vigilance of the royal court cavalry, they approached quietly. Where is Fan Xian.
Fan Xian held the rein in one hand, lowered his head and leaned on the horse, carefully feeling the horse's condition. There are a total of a hundred subordinates supporting him. Except for the dozen or so elite men who pretended to be horsemen, the others were hidden among the horses by virtue of their superb riding skills at the beginning.
Many experiments have shown that the effect of ephedrine on horses is not as great as that on humans, so that these horses will not be disobedient, but for Wang Ting's pursuers, these horses run at a slower speed. It's a little scary.
A war horse disguised as a wild horse is still a war horse, let alone a war horse that has taken stimulants. Fan Xian knew that the power of the stimulant could not be sustained for too long, but he didn't need too long. A hundred people, riding hundreds of horses in turn, gave the horses enough time to rest and recover their medicines. And let Shanyu Wangting's people chase him, Fan Xian might as well just cut his neck off.
A good horse must be ridden by someone, and this is the second mistake made by the Xihu chasers. They always think that there is no one in the world who is better at riding than themselves. Tougher, but they forgot a name.
black ride.
The cavalry of the Qing Kingdom were already extremely powerful, except for the armor and protective equipment, they were not much worse than the cavalry of Zhu Xihu, and the black cavalry was the elite of the elite cavalry of the Qing Kingdom, under Chen Pingping's careful selection and training. , The high quality of individual soldiers is really jaw-dropping.
Especially in the thousands of miles of raids and long-distance pursuits that Xihu people are proud of, the black cavalry has the most prominent war history in the entire world.
Reminiscing back then, the Northern Expedition of the Qing Kingdom failed miserably, and Emperor Qing was trapped in the poor mountains and rivers. Chen Pingping led the black cavalry to rescue him after hearing the news. Within six days, he rushed thousands of miles on the battlefield, and saved Emperor Qing who was still the prince at that time.
Another year, Chen Pingping personally led the black cavalry, went deep into the territory of the Great Wei Kingdom, and captured a generation of hero Xiao En alive. .
History has already proved that the ability of black riders to make surprise attacks for thousands of miles is the strongest in the world, and there is no one.
The black cavalry of the Overwatch Council, famous for their surprise attacks from thousands of miles away, practiced this kind of situation most often after it was established, and put a lot of effort into maintaining the medicinal power of the war horse. The advance is like wind and fire, the retreat is like water and clouds, and disappears on the battlefield in an instant. The advance is number one in the world, and the retreat is also the number one in the world. How can those capable cavalry of Xihu Royal Court catch up with this group of flying birds? Like a stabbing team
The autumn wind on the grassland beat Fan Xian's face, his eyes narrowed, he glanced at Jing Ge beside him, looked at the silver mask on his face, and couldn't help smiling, if it wasn't for his absolute respect for his subordinates, Confidence, how dare he take such a risk, go deep into the royal court of the grassland, lead Haitang Shanyu out of Xihu's heart, and drop those two big bombs.
…
…
On the third day of chasing, Wang Ting's cavalry finally noticed something weird. They didn't slow down a bit. The prairie horses under them were exhausted to the extreme, but they still couldn't catch up with each other. The Qing people among them seemed to have some strength left, as if they might let their horses go at any time, they just forcibly held down their speed and seduced the cavalry of the royal court behind.
Hearing the vigilant and exhausted return from the principal household, Shanyu Speeda's dusty face flashed a trace of coldness. In fact, he was the first to discover the problem. He could feel that the group of weird and even a little There was something wrong with the magical wild horse, but although Wang Ting's goshawk hovered above, and from here to the grassland of Qingzhou, there was no big tribe that could intercept it, and Shan Yu had nothing to do.
The news of Zuo Xianwang's assassination and death has been confirmed, and Shan Yu knows what he should do most. Once the entire prairie knows the news, they will cast suspicious eyes on themselves or King You Xian, and those sons under the tent of King Zuo Xian must have started clamoring for revenge for King Zuo Xian.
In order to stabilize the status of the royal court, Shan Yu Su Bida should immediately return at this time, and give Zuo Xian Wang an explanation, one explanation, the longer he leaves, the more suspicious Zuo Xian Wang Zhang will be about him.
Naturally, Shan Yu Su Bida is not afraid of the revenge of King Zuo Xian's subordinates, but if he wants to become a real king on the grassland, he must prevent bloody internal strife. The fight will be successful.
It's just... not reconciled... Shan Yu's steed slowed down, looking at the group of wild horses that were drifting away into the distance, seemingly never getting tired, he sighed deep in his heart, extremely unwilling .
All the royal court cavalry stopped and turned their attention to the great Shan Yu. They didn't know what to do next. Should they continue chasing him in vain or go back? They all knew that there seemed to be some chaos on the grassland, but if they just went back and watched the Qing people come to show off their power on the grassland, they really would not be reconciled.
Of course, Shanyu Subida is not reconciled, but as the owner of the grassland, sometimes he must suppress the anger in his heart, and choose the most correct path based on his own interests. He waved his hand sadly, signaling the royal court cavalry to turn their horses and prepare to return to the royal court, but at this moment, extreme anger suddenly rose in his eyes!
Because when the Xihu cavalry stopped their pursuit momentum, the deserters in front of them under the twilight also stopped, and they stopped on the shallow meadow. Looking back, they seemed to be waiting for them!
What kind of humiliation was this, Shan Yu gritted his teeth and squinted his eyes, but after a while he relaxed his facial expression and said indifferently: "Return."
…
…
"The other party is not fooled." Jing Ge took a look at the dusty-haired Master Tisi, and said, "It seems that there will be no more pursuit."
Fan Xian spat out the dust in his mouth and frowned, but his mood relaxed a little. The current situation seemed to be easy for his deserters, but only those who were being chased could feel the horror of Hu Qi. .
These elite cavalry of the Western Hu Royal Court really put tremendous pressure on the black cavalry. In terms of speed alone, these Western Hu cavalry are indeed the most powerful in the world, far stronger than the cavalry of Great Wei back then. The black cavalry seemed to be running away gracefully, but in fact they were already in a state of distress. If Wang Ting's cavalry could persist for another two days, Fan Xian might be in for a bloody misfortune when the medicinal power of the black cavalry's war horse gradually reversed.
The reason why Fan Xian didn't let the black cavalry run wildly was to put on a confident appearance and hit the confidence of Shan Yu Wangting's cavalry. From the looks of it now, this plan seems to have worked, and Fan Xian knew that, like Xi An ambitious person like Hu Danyu will definitely not be dazzled by anger and only focus on chasing himself, regardless of the chaos in the royal court and the grassland riots that may be triggered by King Zuoxian.
Several miles behind, Wang Ting's cavalry gradually regrouped and retreated to the rear. Shanyu Speeda landed at the rear. The light armor on his body was reflected by the setting sun, reflecting a faint light, and he still looked so cold.
Fan Xian took a sip, spit out the last bit of sand in his mouth, and said, "I must have left a deep impression on him this time. In the future, if we fight on the grassland again, he will definitely not dare to fight casually."
"It's good to scare off." Jing Ge glanced at him, and said, "It's just that Shizi has set up an ambush at Hongshan Pass for more than ten days, but he can't wait for Shan Yu's arrival. I'm afraid he will be a little disappointed."
"Please, this is the owner of the grassland." Fan Xian squinted his eyes at the figure standing alone on the meadow in the distance, and said with a grin, "It's so easy for me to kill you."
