Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 8

As it was getting late, Xue Hu'er led his subordinates, picked up the bells on their horses, and took advantage of the darkness to find a hiding place near the thief's sentry cavalry.

Xue Hu'er poked his head out and counted them one by one. There were indeed six people and six horses.

He could distinguish the leader at a glance, who made the horse on the other side's side stand taller than the other horses.

Xue Hu'er licked his lips: Your horse is very good, I like it very much, and it will be mine later.

The knights on both sides were only wearing leather armor. After all, the primary task of the scouts was to detect the enemy's situation and deliver messages, and fighting was only secondary.

At this time, the bow and arrow can play a big role.

Xue Hu'er is very confident in his shooting skills. Being from a poor background in Beizhen, he has to herd Haogui since he was a child.

One hand is good at hitting the head, and Shengsheng was trained by throwing stones to drive away wild animals when he was a child.

After Zhang Mo went back to report the letter, there were still eight people around Xue Hu'er.

He divided three people into a detour to the south, and led the other five people to wait for the signal.

After waiting for a long time, I still haven't heard the agreed night owl cry.

This made Xue Hu'er feel uneasy.

Suddenly, there was a loud sound of horseshoes in the south, and the sharp whistle that did not belong to Xue Huer's team pierced the tranquility of the night.

"It's bait! Hurry up!"

With a scream, the shouting stopped abruptly.

Ambushed!

Xue Hu'er didn't care to curse the companion who led the way before, because he was the one who warned the way just now, and now he is afraid that something bad will happen.

The six of them beat their horses and galloped wildly. Now is not the time to cherish the horsepower. Run slowly, and you will save your life.

The whistling and whooping sounds were getting closer and closer, Xue Hu'er looked back, and there were more than forty riders chasing after him, and they were all one man and two horses.

Hey!What an amazing horse!Unscrupulous stuff, play dirty.

"Disperse, disperse!"

Xue Hu'er roared, it is definitely not as good as two horses to ride alone, and the enemy is outnumbered, so they can only disperse in order to hope that some people will slip through the net.

"It's useless, Xuetou, you can't get away."

Xue Hu'er followed the sound and saw that it was Lou Yu from Rouxuan.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Xue Hu'er, as if they were waiting for him to make a certain decision.

Xue Hu'er is different from Lou Yu, Lou Yu is alone, these years are in chaos, and his family is long gone.

While hesitating, Lou Yu couldn't wait any longer.

"I can't die here, I still have a lot to do."

After finishing speaking, Lou Yu turned his horse's head and shouted:
"Don't kill me, I surrender."

Seeing Lou Yu going in the opposite direction, everyone persuaded:
"Xue head down."

Xue Hu'er was about to make up his mind when screams came from behind him.

When everyone looked again, they saw several arrows in Lou Yu's body fell from the horse, and some of the pursuers dismounted to fight for the head.

"Tou Xue, that group of people credit their heads, they don't want prisoners."

Seeing this scene, everyone knew what would happen if they surrendered, and immediately gave up the idea of ​​surrendering.

Xue Hu'er spat and said viciously:

"Brothers, since they won't let us live, let's pull some backs."

After all, he turned around and shot an arrow at the right time, and shot it on the arm of a chasing soldier.

The other four people also opened their bows and shot at each other while running away.

Feathered arrows shot from behind with screams, and there was another cry of pain. One of his companions fell off the horse, and everyone watched him being chased and beheaded.

Perhaps thinking of his fate, Xue Hu'er was so excited by this scene that he frantically pulled the bowstring and shot at the enemy.

As the bowstring was pulled again and again, finally, with a bang, the bowstring was snapped abruptly.

"Who still has a bow?"

Xue Hu'er shouted.

But no one answered.

Only then did Xue Hu'er realize that he was the only one left.

"His grandma's, hunting all day long, was pecked by goose sparrows."

Xue Hu'er threw away his riding bow, drew out his saber from his waist, and prepared to turn around and fight in close quarters.

He knew that his old buddy had been running for too long and was about to give up.

Fortunately, the kid Zhang Mo was sent back, so that the younger sister and the younger brother could have someone to rely on.

When Xue Hu'er was determined to fight to the death, the horse's hooves galloped ahead.

Damn, they went around the front?There are only six heads, so why are there so many people chasing him?

An arrow was shot in front of him, Xue Hu'er instinctively wanted to dodge it, but it seemed to be a bit far away.

Immediately after, Xue Hu'er heard a scream, and immediately looked back, the arrow hit the face of a pursuer, who was only ten steps away from him, until he fell off the horse, still holding the riding bow in his hand.

Maybe he was already aiming at his back just now.

Xue Hu'er was overjoyed.

"Step aside!"

The leader in front shouted loudly, his voice was a little immature.

Xue Hu'er quickly turned his horse's head to get out of the way.

More than a dozen riders who came to aid fired two rounds of volley.

When the chasing enemy was approaching, the leader put away his bow and led the knights behind him to meet the enemy.

Xue Hu'er became an outsider instead.

The two groups of cavalry met, and the leader who came to help rushed into the crowd. The horse in his hand opened and closed, and people were constantly swept away by him, and no one could get close.

While the cavalry guarded behind him, they stabbed those who were shot down but not yet dead with their lances.

"Old man, please work harder on you."

Seeing this bravery, Xue Hu'er's heart was surging. He muttered to the horse under his crotch, then raised his saber high, and rode his horse to join the battle group.

Before Xue Hu'er could show his bravery, the thieves seemed to be terrified of being killed by the leading knight, and they collapsed after a little resistance.

And the knight fought for a while, but he still had strength. He dropped his horse, took out the riding bow on his shoulder, and took out a few feathered arrows from the quiver behind him and put them in his mouth.

He kept drawing his bow and setting his arrows, and every time the bowstring vibrated, he would always be accompanied by a scream, reaping a life.

After chasing for two or three miles, I stopped.

But Xue Hu'er remained where he was, his horse was about to run and spit.

After the fight, more than 20 remaining horses were still guarding the corpse, and kept pushing their heads against their former owners, trying to wake them up.

Xue Hu'er didn't go to lead the horses, he coveted these unowned war horses, but they were not his spoils.

He didn't leave either. He was waiting for the knight to come back. The situation was urgent just now, and he didn't even have time to thank the man.

Regardless of whether there is a chance to repay this kindness, at least you must know who saved him.

Without keeping Xue Hu'er waiting for long, the brave knight rode back.

Presumably he also cared about these horses, but was just eager to chase the enemy, and didn't care about keeping them under guard.

When they got close, Xue Hu'er could see clearly.

It turned out that not only did he have an immature voice, but he was also a young man, and he looked only sixteen or seventeen years old.

The young knight retrieved his horse, ordered his servants to lead the horses, and turned to look at Xue Hu'er:
"Why haven't you left yet?"

"You saved me, I don't know your name yet."

Xue Hu'er said.

The young knight looked carefully at Xue Hu'er's robe and asked:
"Are you under Gao Jinzhou's command?"

"My name is Xue Hu'er, and I am a scout under Gao Shuai's command."

"My grandfather and Gao Jinzhou have a good relationship, you don't need to thank me, not to mention that I didn't act to save you."

After the young knight finished speaking, he ignored Xue Hu'er, and waited for the horses under his command to be taken away. He stepped on the newly acquired horse and prepared to return to the camp.

"No matter what your intentions are, I, Xue Hu'er, was indeed rescued by you today. Please also tell me your name. There may be a day when this kindness will be repaid."

Seeing that everyone was about to leave, Xue Hu'er refused to give up, and shouted after them.

"Remember, my name is Hu Luguang."

The voice of the young knight came from afar.
