Chapter 20 Raid(1/2)

Two hours later, Li Xiao and others got on the horse again and rode in the cool night. In the vast wilderness, three whistle riders were like three small black dots moving quietly on the silver-gray earth.

When the three of them successfully arrived at the south bank of Daling River, the dark curtains were still deep between the heaven and earth, and a faint whiteness of fish belly floated up from the eastern sky.

Li Xiao made a gesture, and the three of them immediately followed the night plan and quickly found a shallow sand and crossed the river quietly.

As the river came, the sky was getting brighter. Chen Houzi quickly took out a charcoal pen and a large piece of kraft paper from his arms, looked around the surrounding environment, and began to draw a topographic map carefully and quickly.

Li Xiao was curious and looked over and saw Chen Houzi carefully marking the shape of the Daling River on kraft paper. The shoals that can be crossed, the trees, grass beaches, mountains, soil and other terrain characteristics on the shore were carefully recorded and marked one by one.

"Deputy Team, we will go a little further. After recording, the sentry detectives on the north bank will be completed." Chen Houzi whispered to Li Xiao.

Li Xiao nodded, and the three of them rode their horses in the direction Chen Houzi was going.

It was also luck that Li Xiao and the other two went along the way, but they never met the Tartar Whistle Cavalry. The three of them were secretly grateful.

After about an hour, Chen Houzi had basically finished drawing. He put the paper and pen in his arms with excitement, lowered his voice and said to Li Xiao: "Deputy Team, finally the drawing is finished. I will wait now..."

His excited words were interrupted by a steel arrow that flew by.

The triangular steel arrow flew past Chen Houzi's face, and the edge of the sharp arrow plowed a deep blood groove on Chen Houzi's face!

Chen Houzi roared in pain, subconsciously wiped his face with his hands, and covered his sticky blood with his hands.

As we entered, Wang Yishou next to us screamed in pain.

Li Xiao glimpsed a steel arrow shot deep into Wang Yishou's left leg through the hem of his cotton armor.

Wang Yishou shook violently, but he was a veteran whistleblower and had rich experience. He quickly grabbed the reins of the horse, but Fang Wu fell from the horse's back.

"The Tartars are coming! Retreat to the hillside over there!" Li Xiao shouted angrily.

He looked at him and saw many tartar cavalry running towards his own direction in the distance.

These terrible Tartars were so accurate at such a long distance!

Chen Houzi and Wang Yishou took the lead in rushing toward a hillside with many rocks not far away.

Li Xiao held the bow and carried the bridle, and walked behind him.

The enemy chased us and fled, and Li Xiao and the other two were in an extremely unfavorable situation.

Arrows shot by one after another, with a sharp roar, shot past the three of them.

Li Xiao saw with his own eyes that a sharp arrow hit the side of Wang Shouyi's helmet, sparking a shiny spark. The huge impact made Wang Yishou's mouth squirt blood. His upper body then slammed heavily on the horse's neck. The mount almost whineeded, and almost lifted Wang Yishou off the horse again.

"Try your best and be sure to quickly rush through this distance!" Li Xiao yelled loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a steel carved feathered arrow shot hard on his bronze knee pad, making a tingling sound and bounced away. Li Xiao suddenly felt his feet numb.

Li Xiao secretly felt fortunate that if it weren't for the armor of his white-chewing yakula soldier who had fully protected him, the calves of his leg might have been shot off!

It is really important to have good armor protection.

Finally, after a suffocating period of life-threatening running, Li Xiao and the other two rode their horses onto the hillside.

A sharp steel arrow roared and caught up from behind, making a muffled sound, pushing Chen Houzi's mount straight into the horse's brain from behind. The dying war horse whined and then rolled down in front of the slope. Chen Houzi screamed, and under the action of huge inertia, he fell heavily to the ground and fainted in an instant.

"Monkey!" Wang Yishou shouted in a heartache.

A quick figure leaned down from the galloping horse's back, grabbed the belt of Chen Houzi who was fainting from the ground, and shouted loudly, lifted him onto the horse's back.

"Part troop Li..." Wang Yishou watched Li Xiao and Chen Houzi rushing into the hillside with his fainted Chen Houzi. He was very happy and quickly knocked his horse's belly and followed closely.

When running behind a sudden boulder on a slope, Li Xiao ordered to dismount, and at the same time quickly placed the fainting Chen Houzi and his two horses behind the boulder.

Li Xiao and Wang Yishou were gasping for breath, holding bows and arrows in their hands, and watched from a depression beside the huge rock, nervous and focused as the Tartars rushed from far to near.

When they arrived at the bottom of the slope, the Tartars shouted loudly and immediately got off their horses and prepared to go up the mountain to chase after him.

"The deputy team, a total of eight horsemen, 2 vests, 4 marching armor, and 2 followers." Wang Yishou endured the severe pain from his injured left leg and quickly reported the species and number of Tartars.

Li Xiao didn't say anything. He stared at the vest rushing in front with a cold look. The Soul-Slaying Bow in his hand was already covered with the fine steel carved feather arrow. With the slight squeaking sound of the tiger tendon bow string being pulled open, the Soul-Slaying Bow quickly opened like a full moon.

The vest soldier wearing fine iron armor and a high-needle black tassel helmet, with a huge head on his short and strong figure, and his face was covered with a ferocious look like a beast. He did not notice that Li Xiao was aiming at him, shouting loudly in his mouth, waving one hand up and down, directing everyone to surround the slope.

"Swoosh!"

With a light roar of an arrow, Li Xiaosongxian shot out the arrow and shot out.

The power and speed of the fine steel carved feather arrows shot out by the Sopo Bow were so fierce and fierce that Wang Yishou could even hear a muffled sound of an arrow shooting into his bones from afar. He could see clearly that the arrow had shot deep into his brain from the middle of the middle of the brow of the vest soldier. The arrows disappeared, leaving only a small section of the arrows still outside the face.

This Vice Team Li has good archery skills and strength!

Wang Yishou was surprised to see that under the huge impact of the fine steel carved feather arrow, the vest soldier rose into the air, drew a long half-arc, and fell to the ground diagonally, without moving any more.

A burst of intense scolding came immediately below. Wang Yishou saw that these Tartars were worthy of being elite soldiers who had been fighting for a long time. Seeing that the vest soldiers were killed by Li Xiao, he immediately reacted and dodged behind the stones on the slope.

"Swoosh!"

The soul-snatching bow in his hand roared with another loud bang. An infringement soldier who could not dodge was shot in the back. The arrow shot deep into his yellow cotton armor. The infringement soldier screamed and rolled down the slope.

Seeing Li Xiao hit two shots, Wang Yishou was secretly happy, so he quickly fired his bow and shot at the other Tartars.

A Tartar follower failed to find the stone to hide in time, and was seen as real Wang Shouyi and shot an arrow on the shoulder.

The servant without armor roared loudly in pain, rolling and wailing on the ground, and his fish-skin felt hat fell off, and his blue scalp and ugly braids fell out.

Wang Yishou fired two more arrows in a row. The follower got three arrows. His roar became soft and he twitched on the ground.

He quickly wanted to shoot again, and a fierce arrow hit Wang Yishouzheng's tense right arm that was about to shoot!

Wang Yishou howled loudly in pain, and he threw the bow and arrow, and his face was almost distorted in pain.

Li Xiao's eyes flashed. He seized the opportunity in this moment, and with a sound of a soul-snatching bow in his hand, the neck of the infantry soldier who poked his head out from behind the stone and attacked Wang Yishou was quickly shot through by heavy steel carved feather arrows, gushing blood mist, and then fell to the ground and rolled down the hillside.

"Yi Shou, how is the injury?" Li Xiao asked anxiously.

"Deputy Team, it's okay." After Wang Yishou finished speaking, he clenched his teeth and pulled out the arrow on his right arm with force. A huge pain came, which almost made him faint.

Fortunately, the Tartars shot from bottom to top, and their strength was greatly reduced. They did not penetrate deep like the arrow hitting his thigh, so the flesh was not deep, allowing Wang Yishou to pull it out.

At this time, no one of the four Tartars hiding behind the huge rock dared to protrude their heads, but began to shoot arrows one after another, one by one, or near the huge rock where Li Xiao and others were hiding, making a jingling sound.

However, this projectile without a clear target is of little significance and does not cause any harm to Li Xiao and others.

After a while, the arrows began to become sparse. Li Xiao knew in his heart that these Tartars had already shot at least fifteen or sixteen arrows, and their arm strength was exhausted.

These Tartars, who live in hunting in bitter and cold places, were much more powerful than ordinary Ming army. Li Xiao remembered that the general Liaodong Ming army could shoot at most five or six rounds and never draw the bow again.

Li Xiao suddenly saw that someone below the Tartars made a long whistle. The four Tartars immediately ran down the slope from behind the stone, strode towards their mounts under the slope.

The dog's Tartars are about to run away.

I guess I'm going to move reinforcements.

It's not that easy to escape!

"Yi Shou, can you get on the horse and fight?" Li Xiao turned his head and asked.

"Deputy team, Wang can still fight." Wang Yishou gritted his teeth and climbed up from the ground with difficulty.

"Okay, get on the horse immediately and chase the Tartars!" Li Xiaoteng stood up and rushed towards his mount and stepped on the snow.

Wang Yishou gritted his teeth and turned over his mount, followed Li Xiao and rushed down the hillside.

"Swoosh!"

"Swoosh!"

Li Xiao and Wang Yishou drove their horses and fired their bows. A soldier who was about to turn over the horse was shot on the back of the shoulder by Li Xiao and rolled down from the saddle with a scream.

Wang Yishou shot the mount of a vest soldier. The mount jumped up in shock and threw the vest soldier off his horse.

What made Li Xiao feel quite regretful was that another infantry soldier and a follower took advantage of their chance to change arrows and shoot again, and they were already galloping away.

Li Xiao quickly chased after him with an arrow, and the steel arrows flew over the side of the fleeing Jian's soldier who was running wildly, which was so shocked that he lay tightly on the horse's back, and knocked the horse's belly harder to speed up the escape.

Looking at the figures of the two Tartars fleeing in a hurry, Li Xiao cursed and spat fiercely on the ground.

At this time, the other two infantry and vest soldiers had staggered up and were about to get on the horse again. Li Xiao and Wang Yishou had already roared and rushed to the place where the two were.

The tiger sword in Li Xiao's hand swept out, and a cold light passed by. The head of the infantry soldier immediately soared into the sky, bringing a spike of blood.

Wang Yishou shouted loudly, and the vest soldier waved his cavalry on his neck.

What he didn't expect was that the vest soldier seemed to notice the movement behind him, and let out a strange cry, bent his lower body and avoided Wang Yishou's fierce attack.

Wang Yishou held back the reins of the horse, Zhenggu turned around and killed the vest soldier again, the vest took advantage of his opportunity to turn the horse's head and rushed over fiercely and rushed him from the horse.

The two immediately rolled into a ball on the ground, tearing and fighting.

Wang Yishou, who was injured in the leg and was shot in the arms, bleed a lot and exhausted his strength. Soon, he was pressed to the ground by this strong vest soldier like a beast.

The vest soldier grinned and pulled out the untied knife from beside his boots, raised his right hand high, roared angrily, and stabbed it hard at Wang Yishou's door.

Seeing the cold light slashing the sword stabbed straight towards him, Wang Yishou sighed in his heart, my life was over.

"Puchi!"

The gushing blood splattered Wang Yishou's face. He thought he would die. He opened his eyes in surprise, but saw the headless corpse of the vest soldier slowly falling down from his body.

The body of the vest soldier rolled behind her body, and Wang Yishou saw Li Xiao's tip of the tiger sword holding her hands and still dripping blood!

“Part troop…”
