Chapter 2: Ambush on a Moonlit Night (Part II)

A group of cavalry escorted the carriage slowly approached, one of them held a spear, his eyes were bright, and he looked around through the light of the torches, judging from the armor that he should be the leader of this group of cavalry, as the leader must have something extraordinary, the person sat upright and never left the carriage, a pair of eyes to check the left and right, such a formation can be seen that the identity of the person sitting inside must be good.

"Stop!"

Everyone grabbed the reins, the team stopped instantly, the curtain was lifted, and a white face was revealed under the torches, "What happened?" The voice revealed a bit of scholarly elegance.

The leader clasped his fists and saluted, "It's getting late, why don't you rest here for the night, it's not too late to travel tomorrow, and it only takes a day to reach Maiqiu!" ”

The man said: "The battle ahead is tight, I can't take care of so much, it is important to continue to hurry, Mai Qiu has not been able to take it, the king is angry, the deadline is one month, if you can't attack my father, it will inevitably be implicated." ”

"The general has a good command of the troops, and the gentleman is strategic, this time he will definitely be able to conquer Maiqiu and return triumphantly!"

The curtain fell, the cavalry leader waved, and the team moved on, and the black figures in the dark night disappeared without a trace like ghosts in the night.

Several figures slowly approached, a heart beat up and down with the sound of horses' hooves, swishing, a few arrows shot out from behind the big tree, the arrows broke through the air and made a sound, the cavalry was immediately alert after a long battle, and the spear in the hand was flicked outward by the light of the torch, and the sound of the spear hitting the arrow made a sound could not help but make people a little more reverie in the dark night, and the muffled sound came out, someone was hit by an arrow, but fortunately, the armor on the body blocked and saved his life.

More than a dozen figures suddenly burst up from the trees and the ground, and the long sword in his hand stabbed at the legs and wrists of the cavalry, suddenly protruding, and the spear in the leader's hand waved, "Protect the son!" ”

The cavalry quickly surrounded, the horse's head outward, holding a spear to form a circle to enclose the carriage in the middle, the book implied that sitting in the car was Zhao Kuo, the son of Zhao Guodu Lieutenant Zhao Hao, Zhao Kuo was brilliant, familiar with the art of war, talented, quite famous, the most important was born with a dignified appearance, although a little less wild, the same more gentle and elegant, so that the heart of the woman in the boudoir in Handan City kept bursting out of bursts of heat.

Zhao Kuo was originally in Handan, reading and writing every day, going out for a walk when he was free, Qi and Yan contended, King Zhao insisted on capturing Maiqiu, Maiqiu terrain was dangerous to be easy to defend and difficult to attack, several attacks could not be captured, but also the loss of soldiers, Zhao Wang was extremely angry, sent Zhao Hao to lead the army to attack, Zhao Hao came to Maiqiu to find out, the number of Maiqiu defenders can not be compared with Zhao at all, relying on the natural danger, a fierce attack, heavy losses, several times barely attacked the city wall, suddenly flashed out a group of black-clothed warriors, the long sword in the hand is very sharp, the sword and sword seal the throat, I had no choice but to retreat, and later learned that these people were the ink men who were known for defending the city.

"It's disgusting!"

"General, it is difficult for those who have ink to participate in a while, and the casualties of such a hard attack are several times that of the opponent!"

"General Ben doesn't believe it, the 30,000-strong army can't take a small Maiqiu!"

"The narrow terrain of Maiqiu is not conducive to the battle of the army, it is better to invite the son, maybe you can find a way!"

Zhao Hao snorted coldly, "Those fancy strategies are useless at all, fighting a war depends on the unity of the upper and lower levels, the soldiers are strong and brave, there is no city that cannot be attacked, and a mountain that cannot be climbed!" ”

"What the general said is extremely true, when the extraordinary time is to use the extraordinary method, although Zhao Kuo is young, but the victory is flexible, maybe he can come up with a way to crack it, not only can he lose less soldiers and horses, but he can also establish prestige in the army!"

Zhao Hao thought about it for a moment or two, "Okay, send someone back to Handan immediately!" ”

Zhao Kuo got the news, put down the book in his hand, the carriage had already been prepared, went straight to Handan out of the city, there is no longer a detailed list here, I don't want this matter to be discovered by the city defenders, so I secretly set up people to prepare to ambush Zhao Kuo and his party, the intention is very clear, capture Zhao Kuo and Zhao Hao to negotiate, when the time comes, Zhao Kuo will inevitably throw a mouse bogey weapon and dare not attack the city, and finally have to retreat, as for the killing order engraved on the stone, if you encounter special circumstances, you can kill Zhao Kuo.

The black shadow attacked with a sharp sword in his hand, his toes were a little, and his figure jumped suddenly, and the long sword in the air slashed at the throat of the cavalry, and the cavalry was wearing armor, which could not hurt his life at all except for the throat point.

Escorting Zhao Kuo's cavalry are all experienced in a hundred battles, they are fearless in the face of the sudden appearance of the black-clothed killer, relying on the advantage of the horse, holding a spear to protect the body, the black-clothed man moves flexibly, his body is short and sticks to the horse's belly to the other side, and the long sword in his hand stabs the opponent's thigh, and the blood bursts out from the wound in an instant, although there is armor on the body, it still can't block the sharp blade.

The cavalry leader commanded the soldiers to meet the attack, the big gun in his hand was full of strength, the war horse was lifted upward, and a shot was attacked by a man in black, the man in black waved his sword to meet him, with a loud bang, the sword in his hand was suddenly taken off, and the strength must not be compared, immediately the man moved forward, with the speed of the horse, he had every chance to kill the opponent, and rushed out of a person diagonally, the sword in his hand was raised upward, and the offensive was suddenly delayed, and the figure in black avoided picking up the long sword, and the secret road in his heart was so dangerous, if it wasn't for his companions to shoot in time, he would have already died under the other party's gun, and the two besieged the cavalry leader, One spear does not lose the slightest in the face of two swords.

Zhao Kuo could see clearly through the gap in the curtain, he didn't want to encounter an ambush here, he blamed himself for being too anxious, if he obeyed the arrangement of the general, he would definitely not have an accident, he just wanted to be able to reach Maiqiu safely.

After a long time, the cavalry gradually lost the enemy, the most feared thing about the cavalry is the speed, relying on the speed of the war horse to constantly impact the opponent's camp, people can maximize the power of the spear on the horse, now in order to protect the son Zhao Kuo, everyone is in a circle, the advantage is completely lost, and then look at the Mo family disciples are flexible, and they advance and retreat in an orderly manner, and there are more than ten cavalry stabbed by the long sword, and the less injured can still be maintained, some people can only retreat to the side to deal with the injury, the spear in the hand of the cavalry leader blocks the long sword, and the wrist shakes, Shake out a few spear flowers, among which it is difficult to distinguish between the virtual and the real, and the two Mo family swordsmen had to retreat.

"Get out!"

The spear in the hand of the cavalry leader shook out a few spears to force the other party to attack, and suddenly lifted the reins, the war horse neighed and raised its front hooves high, and the tip of the spear in his hand suddenly pierced into the buttocks of the two war horses in front of the cart, and the war horse ran out in pain, and the cavalry was instructed to go outward, and immediately gave way to a way, and the two ink men tried to block, but the speed was still a few points slower, and the body was just approaching, and the two war horses had rushed out, and the speed was amazingly fast.

"Block them!"

The carriage carried by Zhao Kuo rushed forward, the cavalry suddenly regained its vitality, slapped the horse suddenly, and rushed back and forth with the advantage of the horse, the carriage rushed out, and the carriage groom controlled the reins and rushed forward, the man in black whistled, and the four figures abandoned the opponent and chased forward, and the figures quickly disappeared into the darkness.

A few war horses followed, a gust of wind blew, the fighting on the wasteland gradually stopped, the four Mo family disciples chased the vehicle, the sound of horses' hooves gradually faded away, there was no point in fighting like this, made up his mind to attack several swords in a row, the moonlight revealed from the dark clouds and reflected the Dao sword light, and the cavalry retreated again and again.

"!"

With an order, the remaining dozen figures quickly retreated.

"Stop!"

The killer retreated, and the cavalry leader checked the left and right, killed and wounded more than ten people, and commanded the left and right, "A few of you rushed to Maiqiu with your injured brothers, and the others followed me to find the whereabouts of the gentleman Zhao Kuo!" ”

The two teams immediately separated, the sound of horses' hooves faded away, and the peaceful wasteland returned to its proper calm.

Zhao Kuo people in the carriage, the sudden change can not be followed, the war horse is frightened, the four hooves keep moving back and forth, if it is not for the road blocked by the cavalry, the cavalry leader has already rushed out, the cavalry leader ordered, the cavalry blocked in front of the cavalry suddenly separated, the war horse's buttocks were stabbed by the spear, the war horse was in pain, the four hooves were raised and ran forward, Zhao Kuo fell directly backwards inside, his head hit the wooden plank hard, the wheels stood high on tiptoe, fortunately, he could still maintain balance and not fall over.

"It hurts, it hurts!"

Zhao Kuo grinned in pain, the person also fell to the ground, touched it with his hand, and the back of the head that was hit suddenly swollen, fortunately, there was no blood, the war horse galloped forward, and the coachman was also unable to leave or right, so he had to control the direction of zhì along the road and keep moving forward, the car was bumpy, and Zhao Kuo had no choice but to hold on.
