The howling cold wind mixed with fine yellow sand swept in like a knife blade. Even the toughest tamarisk trees in the desert were exposed to their roots, as if they were about to be lifted up by the cold wind at the next moment.

It was dawn at this time, and there was a bit of moisture in the cold wind.

The yellow sand blown by the wind is the unique depressing scenery of the desert. Although the scenery is depressing, it is the favorite subject of sentimental poems by those boring poets who may never go to the battlefield once in their lives.

At this time, a cavalry team of more than 200 people appeared in this depressing desert. Looking at the costumes and conditions of this cavalry team, you can tell that this is definitely not the soldiers wearing golden armor who have fought in the yellow sand in the opera.

military.

In fact, this cavalry team is indeed not a frontier army, but bandits from the Mangdang Mountains. This group of people are dressed in a mess, and they have different weapons in their hands. Their faces are full of exhaustion, and they look miserable.

The only thing that the entire cavalry team had to offer was the hundreds of powerful horses at their disposal.

Each of these more than a hundred horses has tumbling hooves, long manes flying, majestic and sturdy, and they are all fine five-flowered horses. Even in the northwest region, which is rich in horses, there are only the most elite Blood Phoenix Banner and Grassland in the Beiyu Army.

Only the most noble golden cavalry in the world can be equipped with such fine horses, but I wonder where these thieves got them from?

"Master, they have been chasing for a day, and the brothers can hardly hold on any longer. It seems that their purpose is not to kill them all, but rather for these five-flowered horses." A one-armed man in the cavalry team said,

shouted to the scarred face at the front.

"Bah" Scarface spat out the sand that was blown into his mouth by the wind, and replied: "Do you think I am blind? I have seen it a long time ago. But what can I do now? These five hundred horses are my waste.

I got it back at a huge price, they are my life..."

"Whoosh, whoosh..." Several feather arrows came through the wind to interrupt Scarface's words, and the people at the back of the team also fell down in response.

"The boss, they are catching up again." The one-armed man shouted.

"Tonghammer, you lead a few people to cut off the queen. From now on, your mother will be my mother. If you can come back alive, you will be the second in charge." Scarface ordered in his mouth, and clamped his legs tightly on the horse's belly to increase the speed a few times.

However, I still feel that the horse's hooves under my crotch are too small. Only four hooves are not enough to escape at this moment.

The man who was called Bronze Hammer showed a look of helplessness in his eyes. He cursed Scar in his heart for being heartless, but he still responded with a shout, turned his horse and led dozens of people to fight back at the cavalry behind him.

"Young Master is good at archery," someone from the team behind praised him.

"Be careful, don't hurt my horse." A young man in the team behind shouted, took out another feather arrow and shot it with his bow.

"Don't worry, young master, our horses will not be hurt," the cavalryman behind the young man replied.

Although the team at the back was small, with less than a hundred people, except for the young man in brocade and a skinny old man next to the young man, the rest were fully armed, with black clothes and black armor, and even their faces were covered in black armor.

The mask only reveals a pair of eyes. If you look carefully, you can see that this group of black-armored cavalry has a bloody phoenix pattern embroidered on the collar of their armor. The mounts on their crotches are all the most powerful five-flowered horses.

The weapons are all military-style knives.

The young man looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a clear and handsome face. His black hair was simply tied back. Although he was not covered in armor, he was wearing a piece of gold silk armor under his black brocade clothes.

The horse is also extremely tall and strong, and its body is as black as ink. It is the best ink jade dragon among the five-flowered horses. It is equipped with a two-foot-long exquisite scimitar on its waist. Judging from the materials used on the scabbard and handle,

You can tell by looking at it that this knife is worth a lot of money and is a murderous weapon.

The skinny old man next to the boy has white hair, a green gown, and a green bamboo stick in his hand. He really has no protection at all. He is sitting on the horse and swaying with his eyes half closed, like a horse galloping.

It will be like falling down.

The old man looks frail, but judging from the attitude of the black-armored cavalry towards the young man in golden clothes and the young man in golden clothes towards him, he is definitely not what he seems.

The result of the thieves known as the Bronze Hammers when they turned around to block the attack can be imagined. In just one charge, more than a dozen of them were all neatly chopped to the ground by the black-armored knights.

After eliminating the thieves like Tongchui, the young man in Jinyi did not let everyone continue the pursuit, but ordered everyone to rest where they were, as if they were waiting for something.

"Young Master, drink some water." The leading knight in black armor took out a water bag and handed it to the young man in brocade.

The young man in brocade clothes took the water bag and did not drink it directly. Instead, he handed the water to the skinny old man.

The skinny old man took the water and drank it like drinking wine.

Not long after, another cavalry team caught up from behind. This cavalry team had more people than the black knights. Although the equipment was not as sophisticated as the black knights, they were all uniformly dressed and the weapons used were all straight swords from the frontier army. This cavalry team also

It was the border army in the Northern Desert, led by a general called Fang Gu, who was the highest-ranking military officer in the border town of the Northern Desert.

Chasing all the way, Fang Gu was stunned when he looked at the corpses along the way. He knew these bandits. They were all famous bandits on Mangdang Mountain. He had led the border troops to fight with them many times, and he knew them well.

He was so difficult to deal with. Take the thief named Bronze Hammer on the ground as an example. Three months ago, I had a fight with him. Although I was sure of killing him, it would never be so easy. Now these corpses were all killed.

One strike kills, not even a last hit.

The frontier troops are good at fighting, especially those in Beiyu, who lick blood from their swords all the year round. They would not react too much when faced with corpses. Even the golden cavalry on the grassland did not take them to heart. But at this time, they saw

Landing on the group of corpses on the ground, they looked at the Black Knight with awe in their eyes.

"How far is this place from Mangdang Mountain?"

Hearing the young man in brocade clothes ask him, Fang Gu put away his shock, quickly came to the young man's side, bowed, and replied humbly: "Your Majesty, there are still more than forty miles away."

"There are no less than three thousand thieves on Mangdang Mountain. If you continue to chase them, you will reach their lair." Fang Gu reminded him casually, thinking in his mind, "I don't know how "noble" this noble person in front of me is? But from a few days ago, I

Judging from the tokens taken out by the black-armored knights and their killing methods, the young man in front of them must be extremely valuable."

"Everyone mount up and keep riding. Don't kill them all at once. This time I will eradicate all the bandits on Mangdang Mountain at once." Jin Yiqing

Get on the horse at the turn of the year.

"Three hundred frontier troops, even if these black-armored knights are included, are less than four hundred, and they want to wipe out three thousand thieves? I thought that the nobles just wanted those five-flowered horses, but now it seems that they have not been killed all at once before.

The group of bandits was deliberately carried out by this group of black-armored cavalry in order to wipe out all the remaining bandits in Mangdang Mountain." Although Fang Gu was shocked by the boldness of the young man in brocade clothes, he knew that he did not have much say.

"That's all, if you don't die this time, I will be able to brag about it for a lifetime," Fang Gu muttered.

…

"Master, let the brothers take a break! They can hardly bear it any longer," One Arm shouted.

"What a thief, I need to give you a rest! If I don't enter Mangdang Mountain, I won't feel at ease. Damn it, I don't know who these cavalry are? They are even more fierce than the border troops." Scarface yelled.

: "If they have the ability, they follow Mangdang Mountain, I must avenge this.

…

"Look, boss, Mangdang Mountain, we are finally back." One Arm cheered.

Mangdang Mountain is not the name of a mountain, but refers to a continuous mountain range. Beimo is a desert north of Beiyu Border City. The end of this desert is Mangdang Mountain, and beyond Mangdang Mountain is the grassland, which is the barbarian

The habitat of the five hundred people. However, there were only a few of them who were chased and killed by less than a hundred people on the opposite side. This group of thieves had already been killed by the black armored cavalry. Only now that they can see Mangdang Mountain can they feel at ease and look forward to it.

The other side was afraid of the barbarian army outside Mangdang Mountain and did not dare to pursue them.

With a "swish" sound, an arrow roared out again, shooting a bandit off his horse.

"The boss, they are catching up again."

The one-armed voice was a little frightened, "Master, it seems they not only want horses, they also want to kill us all."

"Ah!" Scarface turned a deaf ear to One-Armed's voice, but suddenly reined in the horse and exclaimed in the direction of Mangdang Mountain, "Yellow...Golden Cavalry."

A cavalry of one thousand people suddenly appeared in front of Mangdang Mountain. They were all wearing golden armor and equipped with golden scimitars. The military flag was embroidered with a galloping prairie wolf. This was the most noble golden cavalry on the grassland.

Looking at the state of this cavalry, it is obvious that they have been waiting here for a long time.

"Stop!" the black-armored leader issued the command, and the black-armored knights stood ready.

"Border troops, protect the young master and retreat." After seeing the golden cavalry, the black-armored leader directly ordered the group of border troops.

This is not to say that the black-armored cavalry dare not fight against the grassland cavalry, but the disparity in numbers is too great, and the safety of the young man in brocade is too important, so the black-armored leader does not dare to take risks and prepares to retreat immediately.

"Young... Young Master!" Fang Gu was dumbfounded.

"Which way are we going? Who do you think these thousand golden cavalry are dispatched for? Apart from me, who else in the entire northern border city is qualified to send out the golden cavalry."

The boy in brocade clothes said calmly: "Raise the flag."
