The war horses under Guan Wu and the others were all carefully selected, and they were the best horses in Ayang City.

But Guan Wu and the four are not good knights.

In the process of riding, they were not able to distribute the physical strength of the war horses well, which caused their good horses to be weak in succession, but they were caught up by the Qiang cavalry so quickly.

Just like in a long-distance race, the person who runs in front in the end is not necessarily the one with the best physique and stamina.

Maybe some people just don't know the skills of long-distance running, and they sprint desperately at the beginning to exhaust their physical strength, which leads to falling behind in the end.

Guan Wu and others were the same, and they began to want to get rid of the Qiang cavalry too much, so they desperately rode away on horseback, and they didn't have any sympathy for horsepower at all.

"Hurry up and get on your horse and escape!"

Guan Wu shouted, his body quickly climbed onto the horse, and as soon as he pulled the reins, he galloped east along the river.

Guan Xiong and the three of them didn't dare to slack off, and followed closely behind Guan Wu.

However, the Qiang people followed too closely, and even though the horses were not as good as the mounts of Guan Wu and the others, they still clung to the back.

Listening to the heavy breathing of the war horse under his crotch, Guan Xiong suddenly shouted: "Ah Wu, it won't work at all if it goes on like this, we will all be caught up by the Qiang people sooner or later." ”

The cronies of the other two county commanders were also full of fear at this time.

Guan Wu also showed an anxious look on his face, not because he was afraid of death, but because Guan Wu was worried that he would not be able to complete the task, which would lead to the loss of Longxian.

If that's the case, Guan Wu will really be dead.

After thinking for a while, Guan Wu suddenly asked the two county commanders: "Are you familiar with this road?" ”

The two hurriedly replied, "Every road is very familiar. ”

Guan Wu asked again: "Is there a very narrow road ahead, which can only allow one ride to pass?" ”

After thinking for a while, one person replied: "About twenty miles east of this place, there is such a place, where there are mountains and forests on both sides, and the road in the middle is very narrow, and only one war horse can pass at a time. ”

Guan Wu was overjoyed when he heard this, so he said: "Hurry up, whether you can get rid of the chasing soldiers behind depends on how that section of the road is." ”

Guan Xiong was thoughtful in his heart, and he didn't answer, but just tightly urged the war horse to move forward.

Twenty miles is not far away, but it is not close, and the four of them rode war horses, and it didn't take long to reach this mountain road.

Guan Wu slowed down his war horse and took a detailed look at the terrain here, then he was overjoyed and said, "This is the burial place of those Qiang dogs!" ”

……

However, it was said that the twenty horsemen were chasing Guan Wu and the others from afar, although they were not lost, they were not too close.

They came to a narrow mountain road, and the leader Qiang looked at the steep terrain, and his brows couldn't help but furrow.

"Slow down, beware of ambushes."

Another Qiang man said nonchalantly: "There are only four messengers in the Han army, even if there is an ambush, are you too careful?" ”

Although there are also differences between the Qiang people, they are far from the Han people. Therefore, after hearing the words of his leader, the Qiang had an opinion in his heart, so he directly refuted it.

The leader of the Qiang people thought about it for a while, and felt that it was very reasonable, so he immediately stopped hesitating and led everyone to drive forward quickly.

"Stop!"

The leader of the Qiang people suddenly grabbed the reins of his war horse, raised his weapon and shouted loudly, his face extremely gloomy.

"These damn Han people actually made so many obstacles on the road."

Many Qiang people looked up and found that there were many trees and gravel piled up on the narrow road. If they don't get rid of these things, it will be absolutely impossible for them to continue the march.

These obstacles are exactly the good things done by Guan Wu and others.

All they had to do was find dead trees and big rocks on the mountain, and they could easily push them down the hill and block the road, without much effort.

However, if the Qiang people wanted to clean everything and allow the horses to pass, it was a time-consuming and laborious task.

In this way, the Qiang people had to dismount and clear the obstacles while slowly marching forward.

As a result, the twenty Qiang people advanced more and more slowly on this narrow mountain road.

"Damn, with such a slow speed, even if you cross this mountain road, it will be extremely difficult to catch up with the Han messenger."

The leader of the Qiang people couldn't help but scold out loud.

Another Qiang man said, "Don't worry, these obstacles of theirs can slow us down." But these messengers would never dare to put up obstacles here all the time. ”

The leader of the Qiang people thought for a while, and then it suddenly dawned on him.

This road to Longxian is originally far away from Longxian.

If these messengers dare to continue to delay here, maybe the Qiang army will have already killed Longxian before they report the news.

At that time, the mission of these messengers was declared a failure.

Thinking of this, the leader of the Qiang people forcibly suppressed his irritable mood and commanded everyone to clear the obstacles and move forward.

The group of them was delayed here for about an hour, only to find that the obstacles in front of them were getting fewer and fewer.

Even this narrow mountain path has become much wider and smoother.

"Whew!"

The leader of the Qiang people, seeing that there was no obstacle in front of him, often breathed a sigh of relief.

He raised the weapon in his hand and shouted, "All the army, march quickly!" ”

At this time, the leader of the Qiang people believed that those Han messengers had been gone for a long time, so they did not have the slightest vigilance at all.

All he wanted now was that he could lead his men to catch up with those hateful messengers so that they could be torn to pieces.

"Drive!"

The rest of the Qiang cavalry also knew that they could not let those Han messengers go to Longxian to report the news, so they all mustered up their strength and desperately urged their horses to gallop forward.

"Poof!"

However, their horses had just galloped up, and when they were about to reach a turn, the two horses in front of them suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground.

As for the knights on the horses, one of them was fine, but the other was broken by a fall. Even his head was broken, and blood flowed out.

The leader of the Qiang people was thrown off his horse and shook his dizzy head, and then he cried out: "Cunning Han people, this is a horse trap!" ”

For cavalry, there are two things that are the most terrifying, one is the trap of horses, and the other is the rejection of horses.

Although the trap is only the size of a horse's hoof print, as long as the galloping war horse steps on it, it will definitely break its legs.

If it weren't for the good skills of the Qiang leader and his reaction at the same time as the war horse fell, I'm afraid his fate would not necessarily be better than the other one.

I have to say that the riding skills of the Qiang people are definitely not bad.

Those Qiang cavalry who were closely following behind saw the war horse in front of them fall to the ground, and immediately quickly reined in the war horse.
