Chapter 117: Chance Encounter
Shi Zhuang lay under a big tree, covered his face with a few leaves, and fell asleep, opposite him, Chen Changping sat cross-legged, holding his big bow tightly in his hand, closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, Shi Zhuang's side, where Li Han was sitting, constantly wiping his horse chopping knife with a piece of broken skin, the knife had been polished by him to a bright light, put a few hairs on it, puffed up his cheeks and blew, the hair would immediately break into two, he and Shi Zhuang are now using the horse chopping knife, It is all forged by the master of Li Ze Zhuangzi with great effort, because of Li Ze's guidance, the level of the master on Zhuangzi smelting iron and steel is greatly improved, although in Li Ze's view it is still not worth it, but in this era, every knife under this master can be called a sharp weapon in the world.
It's just that, Li Zeke doesn't have the ability to get it out on a large scale, and it can meet the needs of a limited number of subordinates, which is already very good.
Li Hao is like a monkey, riding high on a branch at the top of the big tree, from time to time with a canopy to look into the distance, a group of four of them, Li Han's burly figure, if he is allowed to go up the tree, most of them will be directly crushed off the tree, and the matter of sentry can only be borne by Li Hao.
Li Hao and Li Han were confused about what they were doing this time, and even Chen Changping only knew one of them, not the other, and only Shi Zhuang knew the specific task.
They have now penetrated deep into the territory of Yingzhou, although they are following behind the large army, but these days, they have still encountered a lot of dangers.
The scouts on both sides, the defeated soldiers who broke up, and even some thieves who fought the autumn wind, but these people, without exception, were all turned into corpses on the ground by them.
Not to mention the two fledgling boys, it was Chen Changping, and he couldn't figure out what Shi Zhuang was doing with them, because these days, among the people they killed, there were not only Lu Long's people, but also Chengde's people. There are even more people who become virtuous.
Chengde, isn't it the world of the little boy Lao Tzu? Aren't these people also subordinates of the little boy Lao Tzu? Why did Shi Zhuang kill the killer as soon as he touched it?
Just to hide your tracks?
Chen Changping glanced at Shi Zhuang, who was still asleep.
Shi Zhuang sat up suddenly, and a few leaves covering his face immediately fell, but Chen Changping was startled, I just glanced at you, why did you react so much?
But he understood it right away.
Above their heads, Li Hao had already shouted: "There is a cavalry coming, no, no, there are more than a dozen cavalrymen behind this guy, that guy is on the run, and the people behind him are chasing him."
Chen Changping looked at Shi Zhuang and was a little shocked, Li Hao climbed so high and didn't find out until this time that Shi Zhuang was lying below, and he could actually know in advance.
Shi Zhuang ignored Chen Changping's gaze at him, raised his head and shouted, "Who is fleeing, and who is chasing?"
"It's not like Lu Long's, it's not like Cheng Dejun's, it's very strangely dressed, ah, they wear leather jackets, they use scimitars, and arrows."
Hearing Li Hao's words, Shi Zhuang didn't say a word, and climbed to the tree with two swishs, just glanced at it, and then slid down again.
"The Khitans, the people who are chasing after them are all Khitans." Shi Zhuang copied the horse chopping knife inserted in the ground, jumped on the horse, and Chen Changping and the three of them also got on the horse.
"What should I do?" Chen Changping asked.
"What else can I do, kill them." Shi Ping said categorically: "The Khitan people openly appeared here, I'm afraid it's already a big deal, the one in front may be Chengde's scout, save him first."
The four rode to the edge of the forest, waiting for the dozens of horsemen who were constantly approaching and chasing and fleeing.
The man in front of him lay on the saddle and kept whipping the horse, but the war horse under the crotch was getting slower and slower, foaming at the mouth, and after a few staggers under the hooves, he had fallen to the ground, and the knight on the horse jumped up with agility, and rushed towards the dense forest with the knife in his hand.
"Liang Han!" Seeing this man wearing an old sheepskin jacket, with his hair scattered and a belt on his forehead, if it weren't for Shi Zhuang's deep reflection of Liang Han, he really wouldn't have recognized him.
The feather arrows swished past, Liang Han's body was undulating, running left and right, the feather arrows basically fell in the air, and the occasional threat was also knocked down by Liang Han's knife. But this kind of running has a great impact on his speed, the dozen or so horsemen behind quickly approached him, Liang Han looked up at the dense forest in the distance, and then turned his head to look at the speed of the pursuers, estimating that it was impossible for him to escape into the forest before the cavalry caught up with him, so he simply stopped, turned around and raised his knife, and waited.
Since you can't escape, you have to fight to the death, and it's better to get two of them to back your back.
Seeing that Liang Han was no longer running, those Khitan knights were no longer releasing arrows, and they rushed over with a strange scream waving the scimitar in their hands.
"Let's go!" Shi Zhuang roared, rode his horse and rushed out of the forest, and Chen Changping rushed out after him. The man was on the horse, the bow had been drawn, the arrow had been wound, the three arrows were in a row, and the three Khitan knights who were running in front had turned over and knocked off the horse.
Liang Han looked back in amazement, and the four rode like the wind, and the first one was the one who made him the most unforgettable. He Liang Han has been competitive all his life, and in Li Ze's Zhuangzi, he was beaten by this guy and had no power to fight back.
Wow! There are also Li Hao and Li Han, two bastards.
In the secret camp, he was chained to a pillar, and he was a sparring partner for these two guys for a long time.
That guy who shoots arrows is unfamiliar!
But the archery is really accurate!
When a man is on a horse, he has no arrows, and one arrow knocks down one. Liang Han knew that shooting arrows on horses and shooting arrows on the flat ground were completely two different concepts, just listening to the sound of the arrows off the string, he knew that it was a real strong bow, not a soft bow that the cavalry was accustomed to.
Riding on a horse to draw a bow and shoot arrows, it all depends on waist strength and arm strength, and the strength of the bow used is much weaker than the bow used by ordinary archers, but the person in front of him is obviously an exception.
Seeing these people appear, Liang Han was stunned, but his whole body relaxed, more than a dozen chasing soldiers, in front of these people, they were not farts. His legs were weak, and the tense nerves in his whole body relaxed at once, and he sat down on the ground with a pop, only to feel weak all over, and he wanted to lie down and sleep beautifully.
Although I thought so, my eyes were still wide.
Shi Zhuang is so fierce. Chen Changping put down three arrows, and when the guy who was hit by the arrow finally hit the horse backwards, Shi Zhuang had already rushed in front of the team, and the cold light flashed, and the sky turned red, and the person who raised the scimitar towards Shi Zhuang was cut down by Shi Zhuang, half of his arm and half of his body were cut off, and the blood sprayed high, covering Liang Han's vision.
These chasing Khitan cavalry should also be the elite of their tribe, but their luck is really bad, three times five divided by two, they were killed by Shi Zhuang's four people, and the few behind saw that the momentum was not good, and they turned their horses' heads and fled, but in front of a marksman like Chen Changping, running away is not much different from sending them to death.
Shi Zhuang didn't even bother to watch Chen Changping chase and kill those guys, so he turned around on his horse, walked to Liang Han's side, looked at the tired Liang Han condescendingly, and laughed: "Isn't this Brother Liang?" Why is it so messy? This dress, where did you go to the Khitan people as a guest? What did you do to be chased and killed all the way?"
Liang Han rolled his eyes and stretched out his hand, "Is there water?" No, no, is there any wine?"
Shi Zhuang turned over and dismounted, untied a leather bag from the saddle and threw it to Liang Han: "The water pipe is full, don't think about the wine, I don't have much left."
Liang Han snorted and drank wildly while holding his skin.
The water hasn't been drunk yet, Chen Changping has already come back, and this guy is still carrying a package in his hand, and there is a clanging sound from it.
"These Khitans are very rich!" Chen Changping shook the burden in his hand, "I have scavenged on them, and I have gained a lot!"
Liang Han threw the skin back to Shi Zhuang and said, "Of course they have money, where these guys pass, burning, killing and looting are all evil, and the people of Yingzhou have suffered a lot. I don't know how Shi Yi, that bastard, would feel when he saw that the people under his jurisdiction were plagued like this by the Khitans."
"Why are the Khitans here?" Shi Zhuang asked.
Liang Han straightened up and sat up, looked at Shi Zhuang and said, "It's over. Zhenwu Jie Du made Wang Feng's bastard already colluded with Zhang Zhongwu, at least 5,000 Khitan cavalry had already cut in from the defense line released by Wang Feng, Li Che's back road would be cut off immediately, Wang Feng's 5,000 armor soldiers, 30,000 government soldiers, are moving in the direction of Shenzhou, this son Chengde is going to suffer a big loss, I have to rush back to Shenzhou immediately, let Li Gong prepare early."
"Hopeless?" Shi Zhuang couldn't see joy or anger on his face, and asked.
Liang Han shook his head: "It's hopeless, the Khitan cavalry has extremely strong mobility ability, at this time, I'm afraid that it has been inserted behind Li Che, and the most terrifying thing is that Li Che still doesn't know anything about it."
"Li Che has now arrived at the city of Yingzhou, there is a strong city in front that is difficult to overcome, and there are cavalry to cut off the back road, there is still half a point to be lucky there." Liang Han took a few steps forward, snatched the reins of a horse from the several horses led by Chen Changping, turned over and said, "I have to go to Shenzhou immediately, will you come with me?" The surname is Shi, don't think that your kung fu is great, when you encounter a large number of Khitan cavalry, you still have to run for your life with your tail between your legs."
Shi Zhuang laughed, threw the leather bag in his hand to him, and took another bag of dry food and handed it to him, "Get out of yours, Shi still has something to do, so I won't accompany him."
