"go!"
"Slaughter this city!"
Xu Huairen, the Duke of Antai, who was known as the high priest, raised his hand and waved.
As he waved his hand, the torrent of Northern Barbarian cavalry that was heading south quickly stopped. Then, all the Northern Barbarian cavalry turned their horses, reorganized their teams, and looked at Li Gan and the more than 300 Maoyuan County town troops in the rear. Infantry.
"kill-"
The Northern Barbarian general leading the team gave a loud shout.
The Northern Barbarian cavalry immediately drove their horses and started running slowly. The speed of the horses slowly increased, accelerated, and accelerated again.
"defense-"
Li Gan saw the Northern Barbarian cavalry turning around to fight, followed by a roar.
His original intention was just to harass the Northern Barbarian cavalry and slow down the opponent's southward movement. But he didn't expect that he would suddenly stoke a hornet's nest, and the other party would simply stop and try to kill them all.
At this time, it was too late to retreat back to the city. Facing the pursuit of the cavalry, once the infantry was thrown into disarray, there would be no possibility of survival.
The only solution for now is to fight to the death!
The rifle was propped on the ground, the tip of the gun pointing diagonally into the air.
But this time, the Northern Barbarian cavalry did not make a detour, but ignored the obstruction of the horse guns and ran directly into them.
The war horse whined and fell to the ground.
The horse gun collapsed.
One by one, the Northern Barbarian cavalry leapt into the air from their horses, waving their swords in the air and slashing at the formation of Maoyuan County infantry.
"shoot!"
Li Gan stood in the queue, looked at the Northern Barbarian cavalry in the air, and gave a decisive order.
A volley of crossbow arrows was fired.
All the Northern Barbarian cavalry in the air were hit by arrows and fell from the air.
But after this round of charge, all the cavalry guns in the front were broken, but the cavalry behind them had already reached the front.
"Team 1, retreat!"
Three hundred infantry were divided into three teams.
Naturally, there were three teams to reject the cavalry.
Under Li Gan's order, the formation of the 300 infantrymen of the Maoyuan County town army remained stable. The more than 100 people who had been standing at the front of the team quickly retreated to the back of the team.
The rifle was raised again.
Another wave of the same operation.
Then, the second team retreats again.
The final gun was raised.
Not only that, all the crossbow arrows have been consumed.
"Fight to the death—"
Li Gan drew his sword and was ready to swing it at any time.
The third group of Northern Barbarian cavalry rushed forward and bumped into the horse guns. The horses whined and fell to the ground. The Northern Barbarian cavalry on horseback still flew into the air and waved their swords.
But this time, there were no crossbow arrows.
The Northern Barbarian cavalry fell into the queue of the Maoyuan County town army.
Blood splashes!
The fighting broke out in an instant.
By the time Li Gan led his men to kill the Northern Barbarian cavalry who fell into the queue, they were already surrounded by the Northern Barbarian cavalry.
The leading Northern Barbarian general looked at Li Gan with a solemn expression on his face, and raised his sword: "Come on, let me know your name!"
"My name is Li Gan, Datang, Li Gan!"
"Northern barbarian, remember your grandfather's name!"
Li Gan sneered solemnly, and then shouted sharply: "Kill-"
A man of the Tang Dynasty, why should he be afraid of death
More than two hundred people, waving their swords, took the initiative to charge towards the Northern Barbarian cavalry in front.
At the same time, the Northern Barbarian cavalry also began to accelerate.
"Cut the horse's legs!"
Just before the infantry team of the town army was about to collide with the torrent of northern barbarian cavalry, Li Gan still did not forget what he was going to do.
What he wanted to do was not to kill one more Northern Barbarian, but to slow down the Northern Barbarians' southward movement and delay time.
And to do that, you have to kill the horse!
The ranks of infantry ran against the torrent of cavalry like sand against rocks.
The rocks did not move and the sand and soil were scattered.
At the moment when the two sides collided, many of the infantry of the town army were knocked away, but they still swung their swords with all their strength, slashing the horse's legs, stabbing it into the horse's neck, and piercing the horse's back...
Li Gan was not knocked away. The moment the two armies collided, he rolled on the spot and slashed the leg of the horse passing by with his long knife.
Li Gan swung his knife very quickly.
In just a few moments, he successfully slashed the legs of six war horses, and then he was kicked by the hoof of the oncoming war horse, causing the bronze mirror of the chest protector to dent directly.
But because of the existence of this bronze breast mirror, Li Gan did not die.
He struggled to stand up. There was no longer a large group of Northern Barbarian cavalry in front of him, only a man riding on a horse who was dressed obviously differently from the ordinary Northern Barbarian cavalry.
That was Xu Huairen, Duke of Antai, who had become the high priest of the Northern Barbarians.
"kill-"
Li Gan didn't look back. He didn't need to look back, and he knew that all his robes had fallen.
At this moment, Li Gan only had one thought, which was to kill the northern barbarians in front of him.
Although he didn't know the identity of this person, he was convinced that as long as he was killed, these northern barbarians would be finished.
This is a warrior's intuition!
Li Gan ran wildly and went straight to Xu Huairen, the Duke of Antai who was sitting on the horse.
"court death!"
When "An Taigong Xu Huairen" saw Li Gan charging alone, he immediately mobilized his horse and rushed towards Li Gan. He wanted to trample this ignorant Tang man to death.
"go to hell!"
Seeing the opponent coming on horseback, Li Gan stepped forward to meet him without fear.
When the distance between the two was less than five steps, Li Gan suddenly threw out the long knife in his hand.
puff!
What no one expected was that Li Gan was hit with the knife!
Even Li Gan himself didn't expect that his sword could actually hit.
His stabbing was just a blind cat hitting a dead mouse.
"High Priest...?!"
The Northern Barbarian cavalry slaughtered the three hundred troops of Maoyuan County who were led out of the city by Li Gan. They were turning around when they saw unprecedented bad news.
On horseback, Antai Gong Xu Huairen woke up from a trance.
"Am I going to die?"
"But, I'm not willing to give in!"
"Northern Barbarians, High Priest!"
When the body fell from the horse, An Taigong returned to normal.
Even he himself didn't understand why he was here, let alone what means the Northern Barbarian High Priest used to frame him.
He clearly remembered the experiences of these days, but he was like a bystander, just watching and unable to control everything.
"kill him!"
The Northern Barbarian cavalry became furious and charged towards Li Gan, who was still standing there in a daze.
After Li Gan was stunned for a short time, he realized that the Northern Barbarian cavalry was coming. He jumped directly onto the mount belonging to An Tai Gong Xu Huaiyuan.
"drive!"
Li Gan beat his horse and ran wildly.
Even when being chased by thousands of Northern Barbarian cavalry, Li Gan still felt like he was in the mist.
He actually killed the Northern Barbarian High Priest!
How is this possible
The high priest of the Northern Barbarians is said to be a person who can communicate with the gods.
In terms of status among the Northern Barbarians, he was often above the Northern Barbarian King.
Moreover, the high priests of the Northern Barbarians all live on the holy mountains in the hinterland of the Northern Barbarians and cannot easily go down the mountain.
"Damn it, if you are chasing me so hard, is that really the high priest of the Northern Barbarians?"
Li Gan galloped on his horse, leading the Northern Barbarian cavalry behind him all the way north.
When the smoke was lit, under normal circumstances, the northwest town army camp would send cavalry south. As long as he encountered the cavalry of the northwest town army, his life would be saved.
It wasn't because he was afraid of death or because he wanted to be a high-ranking official and get a good salary, but because he felt that he could actually save his life. (End of chapter)
