Riding and Blade: Laughing Wind and Cloud Road

Chapter 3


The old man Adakurum Atlantis called the crowd to tie up the horses and form a circle relying on the big stones.Although the wind is blowing everywhere, there is a burst of resistance.The wildling companions stand outward with spears or long knives, waiting to kill the enemies who charge at any time, or shoot wildly at the enemy horses in the distance with their bows.

The pursuers formed a larger circle around them, and from time to time shot a series of arrows.They didn't seem to be in a hurry, maybe they were afraid of these desperate savages.Anyway, more than 500 people besieged and killed dozens of people, and the head may not be snatched!

But the sound of horns from the south interrupted them.They stopped and watched slowly, wondering and looking for their superiors everywhere, and then they found a savage with a spear in his hand, holding Chaugutu's head high, facing another savage with a long knife. They rushed forward, surrounded by a dozen riders who only dared not approach the archers far away, and a group of riders fled far away as if they had seen a ghost.

The two savages, not only failed to kill them, but let the other party kill more than [-] people, even the little king of the tribe, Chawutu, which was a great blow to their morale.

A commander of the Langya tribe looked in the direction of the sound of the horn and saw a team of about six to seven hundred people coming quickly.He took over the command, gritted his teeth and prepared to kill these savages before leaving!

But the cavalry who suddenly appeared in the distance sounded the horn of charge at the right time!The chief commander of the Wolf Fang tribe turned pale with fright. It might be bad luck for the team to be directly attacked by the other side.Had to order someone to sound the horn to retreat! .

There were more than 600 reinforcements who came, including Shagul!Holding torches, these iron knights came galloping in blackness.

After the old man found out that it was Muleke's men who came to meet him, he took the opportunity to direct the crowd to attack. The barbarian team was in high spirits, roaring like thunder, long knives flying, and sharp arrows flying across.

The pursuers wanted to surround this group of savages to waste their energy and capture him alive to receive more rewards when he was exhausted. Unexpectedly, instead of being exhausted, the group of savages in front of them killed them so much that they screamed and scattered. escape.

Jiu Ling'er was overjoyed to see the enemies surrounding the team receding like a tide.He barely supported his body with a long knife and stood beside his companion.The companion was holding a spear high and majestic, and there was a bloody human head on the spear.

At this time, from a distance, it looks like two gods descending from the earth.Shagul and the rescued cavalry team respected them.

The rescue team didn't pursue too deeply, and left quickly with Jiu Ling'er and his party heading south.At dawn they finally reached a camp.

Old Marshal Mulek came to greet him in person with more than 1000 cavalry.Jiu Ling'er was seriously injured and lay on the horse.

Old Marshal Mulek listened to Uncle Adaku Rum Atlantis and Shagul talk about the experiences of the past few days, and he looked at the savage team and Jiulinger with admiration.

He ordered people to find a carriage and carry Jiuling'er and a few unconscious savages onto the carriage.Then lead the team all the way to the east to climb up the steep highlands, cross a snowfield and slowly advance to the base camp of the Wolf Valley deep in the highlands.

Nabu Chai was shocked when he received the news of Chawutu's death. He led his men and horses to follow them all the way to the camp where Mulek's army had just been stationed, and made a careful survey.It is estimated that Mu Leke has more than 1000 people, and he quickly sent someone to ask his elder brother Nasui to mobilize more people.He followed far behind Mulek.

The people led by Muleke marched slowly on the plateau.Most of the subordinates are veterans who have been with Muleke for more than ten or 20 years. In their hearts, Muleke is like a god of war, so they don't rush and don't care about the pursuers behind.

Muleke was often betrayed when he fled to the prairie, so he had to lead his men to hide deep in the plateau.He often sends people out to inquire about news, trying to control all the dynamics of the prairie.A few months ago, Khan Mengzug learned that Shagul might be hiding at the foot of the Snow Mountain, and immediately sent people to search around the Adaku Rum Atlantis Ranch.Shagul is the eldest son of Yimiza, the leader of the Mingquan tribe. Yimiza publicly supported Muleke, and sent Muleke a large amount of property to support the army and all kinds of news he heard.Yimiza and Mulek were best friends when they were under Al Shinan Khan's camp. Yimiza spared no effort in helping and supporting Mulek to make a comeback, and gathered about 2000 people in the Wild Wolf Valley.Because of this, Imizha completely handed Shagul over to Mulek.

But when Munchug sent Nasuge to search for Chagul at the foot of the snow mountain, Mulek was unable to rescue him, so he had to send someone into the snow mountain to ask his old guard captain, Old Iron Hammer, for help.At that time, he was stared at by the cavalry of the Khan's headquarters in Munchug. Mulek didn't dare to show up at that time, and he was powerless to get away.Munchug always thought that Mulek must be hiding somewhere on the plateau, but after searching endlessly, he could only exit the plateau and search for Shagul with all his strength. With Shagul in hand, are you afraid that Mulek won't come out?
Jiuling'er didn't wake up until the second day of marching on the plateau.He got up and sat in the carriage, and saw the old man, Shagul, and a large group of warriors who looked like they had experienced many battles, chatting and laughing around Mulek.The passing soldiers respected Mulek very much and saluted him one after another.The scouts reported that more than 3000 people from Nabthorn had already reached the high ground and followed far behind.

Muleke was the first to spot Jiu Ling'er and walked towards him.Others noticed that Jiu Ling'er had also gathered around and looked at Jiu Ling'er enthusiastically.The warriors and pawns who followed Mulek didn't treat this wild man very well, but they saw and heard Adaku Rum Atlantis tell about the bravery of Jiulinger and his wild man team After the performance, they have a deep respect for them.This savage kid from the east and his savage team are very good at archery, swordsmanship and riding.The Kusaites all respect those who are brave in arms, and their eyes on Jiu Ling'er have gradually become softer and more cordial.

Mulek was tall, a little thin, with a big beard, paired with a pair of sharp and wise eyes, exuding a compelling mighty aura.

Mulek spoke first: "You have already fulfilled the promise of the tribe, and you can leave at any time when you recover from your injuries. But..."

Mulek stopped, he wanted to see the reaction of the little savage in front of him before deciding whether to continue talking.

The old man Adakurum Atlantis reminded Jiu Ling'er loudly, saying: "This is the Grand Marshal Mulek I told you about."

"Old Hammer's son also died shortly after you set off. They encountered an avalanche, and almost no one survived the whole clan, and they were all buried under the snow." (Old Hammer is the patriarch who bought Jiuling'er) Seeing that Jiu Linger didn't seem to respond, Muleke continued.

"Ah?" Jiu Ling'er finally met the legendary figure that the old man was talking about, but she couldn't accept it all at once when she heard that the whole clan of the little patriarch had passed away!

Mulek hesitated for a moment, as if thinking of this old friend who passed away: "After my people heard the news of your departure, they brought gifts and a large number of goods you urgently needed to compensate and thank Old Hammer. It's a pity that they were not at the scene. Find a survivor. I received the message ten days ago. But I have not found you."

Seeing that Jiu Ling'er was dumbfounded and silent, Muleke asked, "What's your plan? Go back to the snow-capped mountains?"

Jiu Ling'er was speechless, whether to go or stay, he had to ask his companions.

Seeing that Jiu Ling'er was dumbfounded and silent, the old man Adaku Lumu Atlantis comforted him: "Little savage, don't go back to that corner of the mountain where the birds don't shit. Remember what I told you about the end of the grassland Is that country very similar to your memory? You can go and have a look, maybe you can find something there?"

Jiu Ling'er stared blankly at the sparse grass on the ground, not knowing what to do?He misses his parents crazily, but the impression of his parents is becoming more and more blurred.He crazily thought of all the past events in the mountains and the old patriarch's family, and crazily missed the country in his memory, but these clouds in the sky were getting farther and farther away from him.He fell asleep in a daze.

At night, Jiu Ling'er woke up again. He saw the old man sitting in the car changing his medicine.

The old man told Jiuling'er that Marshal Mulek was going to ambush Nabuci who was following behind tomorrow.Jiu Ling'er was very surprised!This Mulek is really amazing!Only more than 1000 people dare to attack more than 3000 people.

Jiu Ling'er got up and felt much better.I have only some skin trauma, mainly tired.In the past few days, he has been marching day and night and fighting non-stop. If he hadn't tried his best to hold on, he would have fallen off his horse a long time ago.

His first words were: "Where are my brothers?"

The old man took Jiu Ling'er to find the companion's camp.Jiu Ling'er explained to her companions the purpose of her visit and the situation.Jiu Ling'er was very moved, none of the companions wanted to leave, and said that they just need to follow Jiu Ling'er, anyway, the tribe is gone, and they can have a caregiver if they come together.

Jiu Ling'er was about to cry, out of the team of 58 people, only 21 were active and most of them were injured.There was also a very seriously injured person lying on the carriage with a high fever and never regained consciousness, and it was basically impossible to save him.Especially in the battle of being besieged on the grassland, [-] companions were directly killed. If Muleke's team hadn't rescued them in time, they would have been eaten clean by the chasing soldiers.

Jiu Ling'er couldn't help but knelt on the ground and burst into tears.The companions gathered around and hugged Jiu Ling'er as if they were comforting a child.Seeing this scene, the old man shrugged his mouth and turned his head away, only to find that he also shed some tears.He wiped it quietly so no one would notice.Mulek led the generals to watch quietly not far away.

Mulek prepares to ambush Naboo.He slowed down his marching speed, then suddenly dropped some supplies and horses and then accelerated suddenly, giving people the illusion of fleeing.Jiu Ling'er decided to join Mulek in the next battle.Mueller welcomes you!He and seven companions who were still able to fight were assigned to the striker.

Naboo received news that Mulek's army suddenly accelerated its march and discarded a lot of important materials, which required a large number of horses to carry them.

"Mulek is on the run!"

This thought immediately occupied Nab's mind.He immediately summoned several tribal leaders and some commanders to discuss.

"Xiao Wang, Muleke should have detected that Khan led the army and has arrived, so he must be running away." A commander said.

"Mulek has a maximum of 3000 cavalry now, and we can catch up and beat him. We have an absolute advantage of more than [-] people. If we can catch Mulek, then Xiao Wang will have a great contribution!" Another thousand men said excitedly.

A tribe sneered: "Mulek is a wily planner. His reputation spread all over the prairie when I was still peeing my pants. He can stab me to death with a pen. Let's wait for the Khan to come. We are far away. Following from a distance is not considered disobedience."

Naboo hesitated.

The commander-in-chief who witnessed the killing of Chawutu said at this moment: "The savage team is in Muleke's army. We must kill them no matter what. More than 3000 of us beat him to more than 1000 , and didn’t say to wipe out Mulek. He ran his, we hit ours.”

Nabu Than thought of the dead Chaudu, who grew up with him and followed him for many years.Naboo thought for a while in grief, and he decided to make the upper hand.

He told everyone to speed up, whoever can kill Mu Leke and make a fortune is at hand.Of course, the group of snow mountain savages must be cut alive!
Listening to one message after another sent by the scouts, Mulek was sure that Naboo was chasing him at full speed.He found a large raised slope and began to line up his troops.The soil slope is flat and wide and extends down for hundreds of meters, and the undulating hills in the north are especially suitable for hiding ambushes.

Muleke divided the troops into roughly ten teams, with an average of more than a hundred people forming a team. Each team was led by a thousand or centurion veteran with rich combat experience, and each row stood neatly in a straight line.The first three rows are mainly shooters, all of them are bow masters and archery masters.The three rows in the middle are shock cavalry armed with spears more than six meters long, basically wearing horse armor, and they are the absolute main force of the shock.The last four rows are the main force rushing into the formation after the chaos, holding a mess of weapons such as knives, swords, axes, spears and maces.

Jiu Ling'er and her seven companions were standing in the first row with swords hanging on their horses and strong bows in their hands.

The Nabuthorn army slowly appeared, one group after another, and the riders who rushed out saw a large area covering the sky and covering the sky in a blink of an eye.The sound of horseshoes became louder, denser, and deafening. Gradually, the ground under their feet trembled violently. It was as shocking as a mountain torrent erupting.

Some horses in Muleke's team became restless, staggering and sneezing non-stop, and some riders even rushed out of the queue to control the restlessness of the horses.

It was the first time Jiu Ling'er and her companions saw this kind of scene, they stared straight ahead, panting for breath.

"Take a deep breath, relax slowly, don't be nervous!" Mu Leke rode to Jiu Ling'er at the right time.

"Warning a big battle is not like fighting an encounter with a small group of troops. Since both sides have to carefully prepare for a big battle, the atmosphere before the big battle is usually very tense, and an encounter, like what you experienced a few days ago, is a hasty fight. It relies on individual bravery and the cooperation of small groups, so generally there is no time for you to be nervous, and the battle has already begun." Muleke looked at Jiu Ling'er and said kindly.

Jiu Ling'er took a few deep breaths!Still very nervous!
Muleke pointed to the surroundings and said slowly: "This is the Horse Head Mountain, where the mountain is." He pointed to the north, "We are on the Horse Head. Do you think this area looks like a huge Horse Head?"

Jiu Ling'er looked around and found that they really looked alike!With this distraction, his nervousness calmed down a lot.Mulek left them, and continued to motivate and appease the other soldiers on horseback.

Finally he went to the front of the line and faced the crowd.

"Woohoo!"

Mulek looked at the crowd, pointed his spear to the sky, and suddenly roared at the top of his lungs!

"Wooho..." The soldiers raised their weapons and shouted desperately!
"Wooho..." Mulek then yelled again!
At this time, almost all the soldiers shouted earth-shatteringly.All the soldiers' blood boiled for a moment, and the deafening roar aroused their fighting spirit.

Infected by the atmosphere, Jiu Ling'er also shouted hoarsely!Follow along!The whole body is full of infinite power.Fear, panic, and timidity all turned into clouds and smoke at this moment, and there was nothing left.

"Kill..." Muleke pointed at the spear on the horse, and the front hooves of the horse flew.Mulek was like a god of war, he was the first to rush up.

The soldiers started slowly and accelerated slowly, row after row rushing down the slope...
