The Qiang cavalry at the north gate of Ayang is the least, with less than thirty people, and this place is also the direction of the county order to let Guanwu break through.

Strictly speaking, this is not a breakout at all.

Because the Qiang people did not besiege the county seat at all, but only sent a small number of cavalry, ready to hunt down the messengers in the city.

The county magistrate agreed to Guan Wu's request, and also sent two more henchmen who were familiar with geography to rush to Longxian with Guan Wu.

What makes people feel incredible is that Guan Xiong, who has been persuading Guan Wumo to go out of the city, finally came forward and asked to send a letter together.

Since Guan Xiong is not afraid of death, the county order will naturally not refuse Guan Xiong's request.

And the county order also promised Guan Xiong that as long as he could deliver the letter to Longxian before the Qiang people, he would also ask for credit for Guan Xiong and pardon Guan Xiong's crimes.

Although the law clearly stipulates that the offender must pay all the debts of the crime before he can be exonerated from the crime. However, there are special circumstances, and this is an extremely special time.

However, it was said that the north gate of Ayang County was suddenly opened, and the county commander personally led a group of men and horses to escort Guan Wu and the four people away.

The thirty Qiang people didn't expect that the north gate would be opened, and when they saw the county order leading the troops to kill them, they were immediately frightened and fled.

They fled a little distance before they remembered that they and the others were cavalrymen, so they slapped their horses back again and shot arrows at Guan Wu and the others from a distance.

But there was one man, who rode his horse to the east, to report what had happened here.

Seeing this, the county commander hurriedly shouted: "You go around from another road and rush to Longxian in the starry night." Even if the Qiang people are cavalry, they may not be faster than yours in marching. ”

"Although this road is far, as long as you speed up, you will be able to reach Longxian before the Qiang people."

The heavily armed Guan Wu rode on his horse and shouted: "Even if you die, the villain will send the letter to Longxian!" ”

The county magistrate didn't say anything more, but just shouted: "Go quickly!" ”

"Drive!"

As soon as Guan Wu and the others clamped the horse's belly, they ran to a road in the distance.

The remaining twenty Qiang cavalry, but they ignored the county order and others, and shouted and went to hunt down and kill the four Guan Wu.

There were only nine men, still hovering in the distance, in case any other messengers from the city would leave the city.

Seeing this, the county commander immediately shouted: "Release the arrows, release the arrows, stop them!" ”

However, when encountering cavalry in the field, the infantry can only be beaten passively, and there is no way to actively attack the cavalry.

The twenty Qiang cavalry, Guan Wu and others who were bent on chasing after them, and the arrows released by the county order also fell on the open ground.

As if he had expected this outcome, the county magistrate stopped the soldiers who were about to continue archery, and said: "Go back to the city, their life and death are completely up to their own creation." ”

"I hope God bless the big man!"

It can be said that now the county commander is also desperate and sent out the four best war horses in the city.

If Guan Wu and the others were killed, even if he sent someone out of the city to deliver the letter, he would not be able to catch up in time, which was the brilliance of the cavalry blitzkrieg.

There wasn't much that the county commander could do, and he could only hope that Guan Wu and the others could escape from the pursuit of the twenty Qiang people.

But in fact, Guan Wu and the others may have to face more than twenty Qiang cavalry.

After the Qiang man who reported the news returns, he will inevitably bring more Qiang people to hunt down Guan Wu and others.

"Drive!"

Guan Wu, Guan Xiong, and the two county magistrates' cronies all struggled to beat the war horses under their crotches, wanting to get rid of the Qiang people as soon as possible.

However, the Qiang people are a people who live on horseback, and even though their war horses are slightly inferior to Guan Wu and others, they are still far behind Guan Wu and others.

Guan Xiong said: "It's not a way to keep them chasing them, you have to find an opportunity to kill these people." ”

Although Guan Wu had a grudge against Guan Xiong because of Zheng Tu's incident, today Guan Xiong stepped forward and was willing to go out of the city to deliver the letter together, which also made Guan Wu impressed with him.

Therefore, now Guan Wu has a much less bad feeling towards Guan Xiong.

After hearing Guan Xiong's words, Guan Wu immediately said: "There are twenty of them, and there are only four of us, so we can't fight hard." ”

"What's more, if they are delayed, Mo said that they may arrive in Longxian later than the Qiang people, and even let the rest of the Qiang people catch up, and the gains outweigh the losses."

"I'll wait for the horse to be fast, and if I run like this, I will be able to get rid of those Qiang people sooner or later."

When Guan Xiong heard this, he immediately stopped talking, but he was much happier in his heart.

At the very least, now Guan Wu is not like before, he speaks coldly to him, and even treats him as if he is nothing.

The cronies of the two county commanders are only familiar with the terrain and have no decisive ability at all. When they heard Guan Wu's words, they didn't refute it, but just rode their horses and ran forward.

"Stomp, stomp!"

In this way, the sound of horses' hooves sounded one after another on the official road.

After running for half a day, Guan Wu and the others finally got rid of the Qiang cavalry behind, and the four horsemen had already become sleepy and tired.

A county magistrate's cronies couldn't help but say: "Since we have already got rid of them, I'll eat something first, and feed the war horses some forage by the way." ”

"Otherwise, not only will it be difficult for me to continue to persevere, but the war horse may not be able to run all the way to Longxian."

Another county magistrate's cronies also spoke out: "That's true. ”

Guan Xiong didn't speak, just looked at Guan Wu quietly.

Guan Wu felt that his throat was very dry and swallowed his saliva.

He felt that the words of the two were also quite reasonable, so he said out loud: "It's okay to rest, but not too long." ”

"Feed the horses water and forage first, and if there is anything wrong, ride away immediately. As for us, we can eat even on the horses. ”

Although Guan Wu couldn't wait to run to Longxian County non-stop, he also knew that it was a little unrealistic.

Because this is not a formal official road, there are post houses on the way to change horses; If you keep running like this, the war horse will be exhausted to death sooner or later.

Even now, Guan Wu could feel that the speed of the war horse was much slower.

The other three heard Guan Wu's words and did not refute them.

When they came to a small river, they stopped to feed the horses fodder and water.

After the war horse drank the water, before he finished eating the forage, Guan Wu suddenly faintly heard the sound of horses' hooves, and his face immediately changed.

Guan Xiong was also horrified in his heart, and shouted loudly: "The horses I am waiting for are far better than the Qiang people, how could they catch up so quickly?" ”

The cronies of the two county commanders were also shocked, and hurriedly turned over their horses and prepared to leave.

Guan Wu and Guan Xiong didn't dare to think about anything else, and they didn't care whether the war horse was full or not, so they turned over and started to run away.

Even if Guan Wu is conceited and brave, he is not sure to deal with so many Qiang people.

After all, for horse warfare, Guan Wu is not skilled at all.
