Chapter 470

If Li Xian came a few minutes later, even if Liu Heita let Niu Jinda go, he would be killed by the defeated and chaotic Feixiong army, and within a few minutes, he would be trampled into a puddle of flesh.Looking at the familiar black armor for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, Niu Jinda actually had an illusion as if he had passed away.

Li Xian led a team of light cavalry to kill and disperse the rout soldiers. When he found Niu Jinda, he was dodging the panicking soldiers of the Feixiong army. As soon as the knife was raised, the arm holding the knife was removed by a black knife. With another knife, a large head flew to the ground and rolled away far away. The blood and dust were smeared on the head. layer.

The soldiers behind Li Xian rushed forward and cut down all the defeated Feixiong army.A soldier jumped off his horse, ran over and used a horizontal knife to remove the rope binding Niu Jinda's hands.Without waiting for Li Xian to speak, Niu Jinda knelt down on one knee and said guiltily, "I'm not doing my job well, please punish me, my lord!"

"Can you still ride a horse?"

Li Xian ignored his plea, but asked him a question.

"can!"

Niu Jinda nodded vigorously and said.

"That's good, follow Gu to kill Liu Heita!"

He pointed to Niu Jinda and said, "Give him a knife and a horse!"

A soldier immediately handed over his weapons and horses to Niu Jinda. Niu Jinda got on his horse and pointed to the north, saying, "My lord, Liu Heita fled there with about [-] riders."

"He can't escape."

Li Xian patted the big black horse's neck, and the big black horse let out a high-pitched cry of excitement.

"The personal guard followed me to chase Liu Heita, and the others went to General Cheng to clear the battlefield, guard the prisoners, and wait for the arrival of General Qin and General Xiong."

He put the black knife back into the scabbard, picked up his horse and chased it northward.Two hundred personal guards followed closely behind Li Xian, and quickly rushed out of the burning camp.Just ten minutes after Li Xian chased out with his own soldiers, Cheng Zhijie led his troops to the place where Li Xian left.When he asked Li Xian's whereabouts, his expression immediately changed with fright.

"Thank you Xu!"

He loudly ordered his lieutenant Xie Xu to say: "Stay here, take the troops to clean up the battlefield, and send people to control the Flying Bear Army's supply battalion. If anyone takes advantage of the chaos to rob food, grass and supplies, they will be killed without mercy. I will take people to chase after the lord. You wait here for General Qin to arrive!"

"Here!"

Xie Xu quickly responded.

Cheng Zhijie asked where Li Xian was leaving, and chased him out with a regiment of cavalry.Qingqi ran for more than 200 miles last night, and launched a surprise attack on the Feixiong Army without taking a break. After two hours of bloody battles, they killed several times in the Feixiong Army's camp. Most of the Feixiong Army surrendered. Many people fled in all directions in a panic.Xie Xu ordered the cavalry not to chase the rout and gather the prisoners, and then sent [-] cavalry to guard the supply camp.

Yanyun Qingqi hadn't rested all night and half a day. First they ran all night and then fought for half a day, but at this time they didn't feel too tired. A big victory made each of them immersed in joy.The excited soldiers ignored their physical fatigue. Everyone's face was smeared with blood, but the smiles on their faces were so clean and clear.

It was already past noon after Xie Xu arranged everything. In order to prevent the captives from mutinying, he sent someone to separate a batch from the captured supplies and let the captives eat.Then he ordered the cavalry to persevere, and General Qin's vanguard would be able to arrive at night at the latest.

When it was time to hold the lanterns, Qin Qiong came first with a thousand cavalry.Under the leadership of Xiong Kuohai, the large army will arrive tomorrow morning at the earliest. After all, the two feet of infantry are still much slower than the four legs of war horses.Qin Qiong led troops to replace Xie Xu's men and horses, and let all the cavalry who participated in the raid rest. Qin Qiong personally stayed on duty at night, did not sleep all night, and led the cavalry to patrol back and forth.

In the morning of the next day, Xiong Kuohai arrived with a large group of infantry, but there was no news about King Yan.It has been half a day and a night since King Yan took two hundred soldiers and Niu Jinda to chase Liu Heitai before noon yesterday.Qin Qiong discussed with Xiong Kuohai, and decided to let Xiong Kuohai take the infantry to rest for a day, and then return to the hills with the captives and supplies to wait, while Qin Qiong took a thousand cavalry and chased Li Xian down Liu Heitai chased after him.

Qin Qiong didn't dare to delay, and led the cavalry to chase without stopping. At noon, they found a small village. A fierce fight had obviously taken place in this village, and the blood on many corpses had not completely coagulated.Qin Qiong sent someone to count and found that most of the dead bodies in this village belonged to Xia Jun. Of the more than 100 dead bodies, only a dozen were Yan Yun Qingqi.

Qin Qiong speculated that it was Liu Heitai who was led by King Yan to catch up with his troops while he was resting in this small village.

He didn't care about leaving someone to bury the body, and led the cavalry to continue chasing along the official road.Along the way, the bodies of soldiers from both sides who died in the battle could be seen continuously until the sun went down. There were more than 100 dead bodies along the way. Qin Qiong speculated that there were not many guards around Liu Heita.

When it was completely dark, Qin Qiong still failed to catch up with King Yan, not even Cheng Zhijie, who chased after him, and couldn't tell the direction in the dark night, Qin Qiong was afraid that he might go the wrong way, so he had to order the soldiers to rest.Before the sun came out the next morning, he led the cavalry and continued to chase.

Occasionally, soldiers who died in battle were seen on the official road, and most of them were stabbed and arrowed in the back.Qin Qiong speculated after examining the body that Liu Heita had no courage to turn back and fight.The wounds of the corpses of his soldiers were all on their backs. From this, it can be seen how panicked and frightened Liu Heita's people were when they fled.

When it was dark again, Qin Qiong calculated that he had chased him for at least three hundred miles.At this time, he had penetrated into Dou Jiande's territory, and he had passed through at least three county towns on the way after chasing him, but Liu Heita did not enter any of the cities, which shows how eagerly he was being hunted down, and he had no chance to stop at all. !

Qin Qiong was afraid that King Yan would encounter any danger. After all, this place had penetrated hundreds of miles into Dou Jiande's territory. If Dou Jiande's men found out, they would immediately mobilize a large number of people to surround him.

On the second night, Qin Qiong only allowed the soldiers to rest for two hours before continuing on their way. However, the night was too dark and corpses were becoming less and less common, so the speed of searching was not fast.At dawn, it took half the night to chase out less than [-] miles.There were fewer and fewer traces left in front, but Qin Qiong knew that he was about to catch up with King Yan.

There are fewer and fewer dead people, which can only explain one thing.

There are not many people around Liu Heitai anymore!

……

……

In the early morning of the fourth day of chasing, the scout who was exploring the way ahead rode back in a hurry, and before he had time to wipe the sweat off his forehead, he said out of breath, "Chasing... I have caught up, ten miles ahead, the lord has already caught up." Liu Heitai is now fighting!"

"Kill the past!"

Qin Qiong immediately ordered that more than a thousand Qingqi who were already exhausted heard that they had finally caught up with the lord, and they also regained their spirits. Since the day before yesterday, they had left the official road and chased on the field path. Diffuse far away.

When Qin Qiong finally saw Li Xian, he was immediately taken aback by the scene in front of him!

About four hundred Yanyun Qingqi formed a large circle, and everyone drew out their horizontal sabers and beat their cavalry shields neatly.The crackling sound was coherent and powerful, and each of those cavalrymen looked dusty, their armor was covered with dust, and their faces were also stained with blood, but everyone was in high spirits!

"kneel!"

"kneel!"

"kneel!"

The cavalry shouted in unison, and their morale was like a rainbow!

In the middle of the circle surrounded by the cavalry, Li Xian was sitting on the big black horse, looking at Liu Heita who was standing four or five steps away from him, with a calm face and no waves in the ancient well.Compared with the Qingqi in Yanyunzhai, Liu Heita looked much more embarrassed.His war horse was hit by a few arrows and bled to death, but he didn't have a feathered arrow on his body. Obviously, Li Xian didn't want to shoot him to death with a simple arrow.

With each cry, Liu Heitai's face became as pale as paper.

"King Yan!"

Liu Heitai shouted fiercely: "Now that you have reached this point, please don't bully people too much! A man is a big man, he would rather die in battle than be insulted! I am a minister of King Xia, not a minister of King Yan, so I don't need to kneel to you!"

Li Xian glanced at him, then jumped off the horse and walked slowly towards Liu Heita.He didn't say a word, but Liu Heitai was forced to retreat again and again.

"kneel!"

"kneel!"

"kneel!"

Yan Yun Qingqi knocked on the cavalry shield, his shouts became louder and louder.

"No!"

Liu Heita roared, "I would rather die than kneel!"

"it is good"

After walking two steps away from Liu Heita, Li Xian stopped and said a word softly.He slowly pulled the black knife out of the scabbard, and stretched out his arm to point at Liu Heitai's eyes: "Gu originally wanted to capture you and let Niu Jinda kill you himself to avenge those two swords. But he caught up with you." You, Gu suddenly wants to kill you with his own hands."

"Since you don't want to kneel, then pick up your weapon."

Li Xian said lightly.

"what!"

Liu Heita let out an unwilling roar, and picked up his steel fork from the ground.He was extremely tall, half a head taller than Li Xian, his steel fork was heavy and sharp enough, and his martial arts were exquisite enough.Especially now he is like a trapped beast, doing everything he can so he looks very powerful.

The steel fork slammed into Li Xian's
