Daqian deposed the crown prince, and the emperor begged him to stop rebelling

Chapter 38: Capture the thief first and capture the king first

After a bloody battle, more than half of the hundred-man team had been killed, and there were less than fifty people left by Li Mu's side.

The barbarians below also left behind hundreds of corpses and temporarily retreated to the mountainside.

"Captain Bai, it looks like you and I are going to die here!"

Shen Ping'an looked at the barbarian soldiers below who were like a colony of ants and suddenly sighed.

After sighing, a smile appeared on his face, and he looked at Li Mu sincerely:

"However, I am glad to have met you in Tiangu City and to have fought alongside you here!"

When Wang Bing heard this, he smiled while dragging his injured arm:

"Yes, Captain Bai! I am also very happy to be able to fight side by side with our Daqian's prince, and this battle is so exciting!"

"If the captain can come back alive this time, there is a hole under my bed in the barracks. There are some silver coins and a pack of tobacco leaves hidden in it!"

"I'll give the silver to Captain Bai. Please light the tobacco leaves toward the outside of the pass. This will be my last pack of cigarettes!"

Looking at the two of them, a smile appeared on Li Mu's cold and calm face.

After this battle, Wang Bing and Shen Pingan have been greatly tempered and have become qualified fighters!
He is no longer the death row prisoner who used to live a life of mediocrity and was terrified of the barbarians like a tiger!
"You should keep the cigarettes for yourself. It's not that easy to die!"

Li Mu once again turned his gaze towards the distant valley entrance.

Soon, the barbarians will attack again after resting.

At this moment, the Great Snow Dragon Rider had been quietly controlled by him to a place less than twenty miles away from the valley!
The reason why Li Mu did not use the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry at the beginning was that he did not want the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to discover his true strength.

If the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry at the valley entrance doesn't take action, he doesn't mind destroying them together!
What's the point of keeping someone who doesn't care about the friendship of his comrades!

At this moment, a horn sounded suddenly from the foot of the mountain.

This is the horn sounded by the Wujin tribe to urge the barbarians to attack!
When the barbarians who were resting on the mountainside below heard the horn, they all stood up and climbed to the top of the mountain again.

Wang Bing and Shen Pingan's expressions suddenly tensed up and they clenched their weapons.

Now they only have half of their number left. If the barbarians launch another attack, I'm afraid all of them will die here.

Li Mu's eyes had also turned cold.

Great Snow Dragon Riders, it’s time to move out!
At this moment, a burst of thunder suddenly sounded in the distance!
When everyone listened carefully, they found that it was not thunder at all, but the vibration caused by the iron hooves of horses galloping on the ground!
Following the sound, I saw a black team quickly rushing out from the valley entrance in the distance!

The horses were covered in black and the men wore black armor.

From a distance, it looks like a black iron stream!

Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!
A burst of urgent horn sounds soon rang out from the barbarian troops at the foot of the mountain. The barbarians who were originally preparing to continue climbing and attacking hurriedly turned around and ran down the mountain.

The barbarian soldiers who remained at the foot of the mountain immediately changed their formation and aimed their spears at the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry rushing towards the valley entrance.

Whoosh...

A hail of arrows shot towards the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

Arrows fell from the sky, covering the vanguard of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry like a rainstorm.

But the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were all wearing black armor, so the light arrows they threw at them bounced off like grains of sand hitting iron sheets!

Before all the barbarian soldiers on the mountain could run down, the vanguard of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry had already arrived in front of the barbarian troops.

"kill!"

Each Tiger and Leopard Cavalry member was armed with a spear, and they rushed forward and stabbed the barbarians with their spears.

boom!boom!boom……

Click! Click...

The sharp spears, with the powerful impact force of the horses, instantly pierced through dozens of barbarians and knocked them away!

Many Tiger and Leopard Knights' spears were broken directly by the barbarians.

But they quickly dropped their broken spears, drew their long swords from their waists, and slashed at the barbarians.

At this time, the barbarians on the hillside had also returned to the foot of the mountain. They mounted their horses and charged at the enemy with their sabers raised.

In an instant, the mountain was in chaos. The roaring and neighing of horses, the stampeding of iron hooves, the clashing of weapons, and the screams of the wounded all merged into one!
On the top of the mountain, Wang Bing and others were overjoyed.

"Captain Bai, we are saved!"

"That's good, we don't have to die!"

The sudden appearance of reinforcements made them feel like they had survived a disaster.

Some of the prisoners were so excited that their eyes were filled with tears.

At this time, Li Mu smiled faintly and said:
"You can't just wait for others to save you. The key is to rely on yourself!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly leaped down from the top of the mountain like a tiger descending from a mountain.

His movements were as nimble as a tiger, and his speed was so astonishing that the iron knife in his hand actually left a streak of light on the hillside!
"He...what is he going to do!?"

Wang Bing was stunned.

Although Shen Ping'an was also surprised, he was much calmer and sober than Wang Bing.

He had already seen that the direction Li Mu was heading towards was the barbarian king wearing a black fur coat behind the barbarian soldiers!
Capture the king first before capturing the thief?
That's right!

Although the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry came to rescue, their number was only over a hundred!
At this time, the barbarians still had four or five hundred warriors!
If we only rely on the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, it will be impossible to win!

"Captain Bai is right. The key is to rely on yourself!"

Shen Ping'an sighed, suddenly picked up a saber from the ground, and jumped down.

"you……"

Wang Bing was stunned again, and suddenly understood.

He also grabbed a saber from the ground and raised it into the air:

"Brothers, are you just going to watch our centurion rush over on his own?"

The remaining death row soldiers heard his words and immediately understood what was going on.

"Go, kill the wild sheep!"

Wang Bing roared, raised the saber in his hand, and led the remaining dozens of death row soldiers to follow Li Mu and Shen Ping'an and rushed down the hillside.

Li Mu was agile and after a few leaps, he rushed to the bottom of the hillside.

The barbarians' attention was all on the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry in front of them, but they didn't notice that the death row soldiers of the Qian Kingdom behind them dared to rush down the hillside.

Li Mu’s goal is also very clear.

Chief of the Wujin tribe, Mandubu!

In an instant, he had passed through more than a dozen barbarian cavalrymen.

When these barbarians discovered that someone was charging towards them, they quickly raised their sabers and chopped.

But Li Mu was very agile, and the sabers didn't even touch his figure.

Moreover, he did not hesitate to fight among these cavalrymen, and even passed directly under the horses' bellies twice.

In the blink of an eye, he had rushed behind Mandubu.

The guards around Mandubu were extremely alert. Two of them turned around and swung their swords at him.

Li Mu turned his body and passed diagonally between the two intersecting blades. Then he leaped behind a guard in front of him and stabbed the guard's vest with a knife.

Jumping, stabbing, drawing a knife,

All in one go!
The movements were as smooth as flowing water, without any lag!

Before the guard's body fell off the horse, he jumped out from the horse again, and his whole body and the iron knife in his hand turned into a sharp stream of light.

The streak of light instantly passed through the guards in front of Mandubu and hit Mandubu hard.
