The Three Kingdoms Of The North Are Proud And Heroic

Just when Zu Zhao led Zu Ji, Gongsun Long, Han Dang and others to chase after those riders who were still fleeing, the group of Hu riders who had been going around in circles before suddenly turned around and turned back straight to this side. Before approaching the battlefield where the children of the ancestral family were fighting with the thieves, they gradually slowed down their horses, took out their horse bows one by one, and shot a rain of arrows with the downhill momentum of the high terrain.

Only the sound of the bowstring beating one after another could be heard, and the "fluttering" feather arrow was followed by the destringing.

In the darkness, a dense network of arrows fell from the sky, and I didn't care if there were my own people under the cover of the arrow net!

Zu Ke, Zu Li, and the other experienced children of the ancestral family immediately recognized the sound of the roar in the sky, and they struggled to get out of the current battle, raising their voices to warn the other disciples around them.

"Arrow attack, hide quickly!"

"The Hu people are back to kill, the Hu people are releasing arrows, everyone be careful."

Although warnings have been heard one after another, very few people can really react. Many young and vigorous children are fighting with thieves with farm tools, and at this moment, there is no extra heart to listen to the warning, and even if there are those who hear it, they will not be able to react immediately.

A round of arrow attacks suddenly calmed down on the originally fierce battlefield.

Those who avoided it fell to the ground with arrows, rolling and wailing over their wounds; And the children of the ancestral family are all equipped with mounts, not only are they the first to be shot, but even sitting on mounts cannot be avoided. A frightened foal gets out of control, or throws its owner off the horse, or tramples on an injured person who falls to the ground.

However, after all, the number of Hu cavalry is not large, and no matter how ruthless the arrows are, the effect of the arrow attack of more than 40 people is very limited. Just as the ancestors of the ancestors ordered the arrows to be fired on the hills, the children of the ancestral family and the brothers of the Zhang family were far more numerous than Hu Qi, but only a handful of thieves were actually shot, and most of them were only wounded. In addition, most of the ancestors were equipped with armor, even if they were shot off the horse, there were not many children, and most of the injured could still maintain the ability to continue fighting.

On the contrary, the thieves who were entangled with everyone suffered a sharp increase in casualties after this arrow attack. Not only did these flat-headed people have no armor, but they didn't even have a slightly thicker piece of clothing in the winter, so they easily caused heavy damage to the arrowheads. Many of those who were not killed by the arrow lay on the ground crying, shouting, and begging for mercy, and those who were still able to act also took the opportunity to flee.

Zu Ke and Zu Li realized that the Hu people were going to kill a horse gun, and they didn't have any positive thoughts about encircling and suppressing these ordinary people in front of them, but because they had declared earlier that they would "not let go of a thief", and on the other hand, it was also because of these thieves fighting, so they continued to consume it here. At this time, the real Hu thieves tried to counterattack, of course, they could distinguish the priorities, and immediately gathered all their children to prepare to meet the Hu Qi.

"Don't worry about these little thieves, they'll all come together!"

"The thieves dare to cross the border and get involved, so they will not come back today."

"The children of the ancestral family obeyed the order and faced the thief."

These orders were heard in the chaotic scene, and all the children of the ancestral family and the rangers quickly reacted. They ignored the peasants who were begging for mercy and crying incessantly, and turned their horses' heads one after another to move closer to a few elders. In a few moments, fifty or sixty horsemen had gathered in the outer wasteland.

"Stay out of the way, in case the thief shoots arrows again!"

"Prepare to take the enemy!"

A group of knights lined up in a linear formation, and the long weapons in their hands were raised in unison, posing ready to charge.

Sure enough, the thief, who was rapidly approaching in the distance, followed by another round of arrows. However, this time, everyone in the ancestral family had already taken precautions, and everyone waved their long weapons to block, after all, the arrows that really hit them were only a few scattered and scattered. Even if the sky is dark and you can't see the direction of the arrow clearly, wielding the blade at will is enough to hit it crookedly, and no matter how bad it is, you will have the iron armor on your body to protect it.

When those Hu cavalry approached a certain distance, Zu Ke raised the weapon in his hand and roared to beckon his children to charge.

"Meet the enemy, rush!"

"Kill!"

The knights, who had set up their positions early, responded with the sound of whistling, and shouted to urge their horses to charge.

Although Hu Qi has the advantage of terrain, for the well-equipped children of the ancestral family, he doesn't care about the other party's cheapness at all.

In the north and south of the wasteland, the two cavalry teams faced each other, and each other let out a roar that tore through the heavens and the earth, as if they would not even give in to the momentum before the real fight.

However, just when the people of the ancestral family were preparing for a short encounter, the Hu cavalry team that was facing them head-on was originally like this. But before the two teams approached, the leading Hu cavalry flicked his horsewhip and led the team to turn suddenly. Not only that, taking advantage of the effort of turning to slow down the horse, Hu Qi pulled his bow and released arrows again one by one. At such a close distance, they did not use a projectile as they had just done, but fired directly at the façade.

Although the range of flat archery is short, the arrow speed is extremely fast and the accuracy is relatively high.

The knights of the ancestral family did not expect that these Hu people, who had the advantage of terrain, did not dare to launch a hedge. I didn't expect the other party to launch an arrow attack, so I collided with the rushing arrow net. Seven or eight of the sons were hit by arrows and fell to the ground, and most of them were not directly hit, but instead were hit by enemy arrows on their mounts, and their mounts tripped and fell off their horses.

"Rats, it's too much to deceive people!"

"Chase, but let the thief pay for the bloody debt!"

The knights gritted their teeth and chased after them. For the other Northland boys, it is not difficult to shoot on horseback, Hu Qi can disturb with horse shooting, and they can also fight back. It's a pity that this time everyone is equipped with long weapons, and they are not equipped with special stirrups and saddles like Zu Zhao, so they can't place the weapons in their hands during the gallop, so they won't lose their weapons and then take the bow and shoot. Therefore, they can only bite the bullet and chase with horsepower.

Hu Qi made a circle and continued to run north.

The undulating and hilly terrain of the northern heath is not easy for each other.

However, Hu rode in front, and the knights of the ancestral family were behind, and they could more or less show their initiative and passivity. What's more, this group of Hu cavalry is obviously good at terrain, and every time they run up the hill, they will turn around and shoot a few arrows. Although it is not always possible to shoot the knight behind him, it can also cause a lot of trouble for everyone behind.

"Splash thief, do you dare to fight head-on, will you only hurt people with hidden arrows?"

Zu Ke on the horseback was furious, roaring angrily while desperately whipping the bloodstained mount, urging the horse to move quickly. Although most of the blood on the horse's body came from the thief, it also had several injuries of its own, and it was already showing a state of struggle as it continued to run at this time.

After chasing for a while, Hu Qi repeatedly turned around and fired arrows, causing a total of more than 10 people to fall from their horses. Some of these fallen knights were able to climb back onto their horses, some had broken bones in the decline, and a few were wounded by arrows or mounts.

The knights of the ancestral family were all disgraced by the way Hu Qi walked by the nose, and some of the children simply threw down their weapons and took out their horse bows to fight back. However, due to the terrain constraints and the fact that Hu Qi was running forward, they were chasing after him in the rear, and the results were very limited.

Zu Li, who has been going back and forth to Hudi all the year round, quickly realized that something was wrong. He knew that the nomads were best at this tactic of harassing the enemy, the enemy would retreat when he advanced, he would attack with arrows when he retreated, the enemy would advance when he retreated, and he would chase with arrows when he advanced. If you continue to pursue, sooner or later you will fall into such a predicament, and before you can fight the thief head-on, you will be greatly damaged.

What's more, the children who were attacked by arrows and fell from their horses from the beginning, saying a nasty word, it is a good thing that they are killed in battle. Once you get injured, especially if you are seriously injured, even if you are wounded with your mount, it becomes a burden. Whether it is attacking or retreating, if people are divided to take care of the wounded, Hu Qi will take the opportunity to attack and disturb from the side, which will only injure more people; If Hu Qi chased after him regardless of the wounded, he could only watch these children being killed, which would definitely become a lifelong heartache.

"You can't chase anymore, so quickly withdraw and join the others."

Zu Li hurriedly shouted to the people around him. When some of the children heard the shouting, they immediately passed it to the left and right.

It's just that Zu Ke and the others, who were running at the front, were on fire and were still urging their mounts to chase forward.

Zu Li and the other disciples greeted several times in the rear, but they still didn't see any reaction. Afraid that these people would be alone, in desperation, he could only explain a few of his children to go back first to pick up the wounded on the way, and he took the rest of his children to continue to follow.

At the same time, the firelight in the woods to the south finally broke through.

Zu Ling slowly walked out of the forest with more than fifty knights, but at this time, most of the children of the Zu family and the brothers of the Zhang family had already followed Hu Qi away, and they couldn't see clearly in the night, but there were still more than a dozen figures in the east shaking. He hurriedly led the team over, and after the meeting, he found that it was Zhang Yu and Zu Fan who were leading several knights to take care of the wounded, and not far from these people, there were five or six people crouching.

Zu Fan took the ancestral tomb and told him that not long ago, everyone was fighting with the thieves here, and the five or six people who were lying in wait were the thieves who were caught, and half of the other thieves died on the spot, and the other half took advantage of the chaos to escape.

Zu Ling hurriedly asked, "What about the eldest prince?"

Zu Fan was full of distress, looked to the northeast, and said, "The eldest prince chased after those thieves on horseback, and Ah Ji and a few guests of Gongsun's family followed him. Uncle Li and Uncle Ke took a large group of people to the north to chase another wave of thieves, and they chased for a long time, and they didn't know how to do it at this time.

Zu Ling frowned suddenly, and said in surprise: "Why are there more thieves?" "

He was responsible for creating momentum in the south, and after entering the forest, he was careful to Xu Jin, and he didn't encounter thieves in the whole process, so he naturally didn't know about Hu Qi.

Zu Fan was also surprised, and asked rhetorically, "Uncle Ling doesn't know?" Isn't it someone who hasn't met the county government before?

Zu Ling shook his head and said: "In the evening, the eldest prince sent someone to spread the word, only saying that Gongcao of Lingzhi County was here. But they didn't go from the south. The person sent by the eldest prince didn't say that there were Hu horses in the forest.

Zu Fan sighed: "Maybe the time is pressing, so I don't have time to say more." Ah Bao let the black arrow thieves kill him, and many thieves on horseback escaped from the woods, half of them dressed as Hu people. It seems that this matter must involve Qianghu.

Zu Ling pondered for a while, and also felt that this matter was quite strange. But at the moment, he didn't care about his thoughts, Zu Zhao, Zu Li, Zu Ke and others had fought with the thief for a while, and he had just arrived at this time, so it was really undeserved. Immediately, he discussed with Zu Fan and Zhang Pre, leaving ten people to take care of the wounded and prisoners, Zu Fan took ten more people to the east to find the eldest son, and he and Zhang Pre took people to the north to help Zu Li and Zu Ke.

As soon as the agreement was reached, the three of them began to act.
