Chapter 2: The Panther
"Panther!"
The group of horse thieves let out a cry of fear, and the horse thieves, who had just been in the group, turned their horses and fled.
Behind the White Horse Knight is a red banner embroidered with a beast with teeth and claws.
All the tribes in the Western Regions, all the caravans, know what this flag represents, this is the Black Panther.
The black panther is officially called the personal guard of the governor of Liangzhou in the Great Jin Dynasty, and the flag of the pro-guard is a black leopard with angry eyes, and whether it is the Xianbei people in the desert or the Tubo people on the side of the snow mountain, or the horse thieves on the rampant trade road, they are called black panthers.
In the seventeenth year of Zheng, 3,000 black leopards Xiaoxing stayed overnight and assaulted 800 miles, attacked the Xianbei Zuo Wangting, occupied the Xianbei Zuo Wangting in one fell swoop, slaughtered more than 50,000 people of the princes and ministers of the Zuo Wangting, and captured more than 100,000 cattle, sheep and horses.
In the twentieth year, the Jin army went out to the grassland, in the golden leaf grassland and the main force of Xianbei decisive battle, three thousand black panther frontal hard to shake the Xianbei across the desert plain more than 10,000 wolf horses, after three hours of fierce battle, the wolf cavalry was defeated, the corpse was ambushed for hundreds of miles, and the blood flowed into a river.
To the twenty-fourth year, the Xianbei people set up an ambush in the Yanluo Valley, the Jin army calculated, 30,000 Jin troops were surrounded by 100,000 Xianbei iron cavalry, at the critical moment, three thousand black panthers fell into a surprise attack, broke through three encirclements, opened the way for the whole army, and then served as the heavy task of covering the back, and the Xianbei iron cavalry fought bloody battles, and finally the army returned to Jin safely, but the three thousand black leopards only came back less than 500 people.
The Black Panther is a nightmare for horse thieves and a nightmare for all enemies of the Great Jin.
There are only three thousand Black Panthers, and three thousand nightmares for the enemies of the Great Jin.
The white-armored knight's spear was slowly raised, stabbing into the sky, the tip of the spear reflecting the sunlight, and the cold and sensitive were heart-wrenching.
The panthers began to pick up speed, their knives unsheathed, shining again.
The sun was scorching the canyon, and the horse thieves suddenly found themselves in an extremely disadvantageous situation, behind them, the black panther of the desert steppe, and in front, the small hill was stuck in the path they had to pass.
The spear slowly pointed downward in front of him, and the panther began to pick up speed, and his cloak floated in the wind, like a galloping black dragon, and the black dragon roared, appearing and disappearing in a cloud of yellow sand.
And at the forefront of this mighty roaring black dragon is the galloping white horse, like a bright light, guiding the direction of the black dragon.
The valley is murderous.
The horse thief turned around in panic and ran, for more than ten years, on the desert and the wasteland, there was no horse thief who dared to confront the black panther head-on.
The bowstring sounded, a black cloud hit with a strong wind, and more than a dozen horse thieves who ran in front turned over and fell off their horses.
"Ballista!" the horse thief screamed in fear.
Ballista, the standard equipment of the border army of the Great Jin Dynasty, each cannon can be loaded with twenty-four arrows, the firing range can reach more than 100 steps, it is the best weapon to deal with the group charge, the most powerful thing is not how many arrows this ballista can shoot, but the ballista is also very fast, each ballista is equipped with nine arrow magazines, three well-trained ballista gunners can complete the replacement of the arrow box within one minute, it is the most powerful weapon of the Great Jin Dynasty to deal with the grassland tribes.
The power of the ballista also made the Great Jin Dynasty very strict control over the ballista, each ballista has a mark, if the ballista is lost, the team and the gunner are all beheaded.
The horse thieves didn't expect that this ordinary caravan would still have such a big killing weapon, and the person in charge of the caravan did not use this sharp weapon in such a critical situation just now, until now.
"Boom!"
Another ballista fired the swarm of horse thieves running at high speed fell again, and the black herd of horses seemed to have been dug up.
The horse thief could no longer care about this, and the threat of the ballista was negligible compared to the panther behind him.
After each fire, there was always a gap in which the horse thief fought desperately, trying to escape the roaring black dragon, the galloping silver lamp, and the fierce murderous aura.
"Kill!"
The Xuanjia warriors on the small hill took the lead, and more than a dozen war horses followed closely behind, rushing down the slope, although there were only more than ten people, they were also imposing.
The speed of the horse became faster and faster, the face of the Xuanjia knight sank like water, the long knife rolled over on its side, and the more than ten warriors behind him also rolled over the long knife almost at the same time.
A dazzling white light that exuded the aura of death pierced the horse thieves' eyes, and the horse thieves couldn't help but cover their eyes with their hands.
The bowstring sounded, and behind the Xuanjia warrior, the gray-robed man who was standing by the carriage just now rode a horse and opened his bow, the long arrow was as fast as a meteor, as fast as lightning, and just off the string appeared on the target's chest, and the horse thief who hit the head fell off his horse.
More than ten horsemen entered the group of horse thieves in the blink of an eye, and the knight of Xuanjia did not wait for the two horses to make contact, and raised his knife and slashed down after more than ten steps, the blade bloomed, and the sharp knife qi cut through the yellow sand, splitting the surging group of horse thieves, and five or six horse thieves didn't even have time to react before they rose into the air.
"Bang!"
The knives collided, the strong wind blew the horses around them and flew out, the knight stepped off the hind hooves of the black horse and kicked the ground violently, the front hooves were erected, and a long neigh, the long neighing was incomparable, the mane stood up, the knight grabbed the reins, the long knife split back, and drew a crack in the yellow sand, the black horse's hooves stepped heavily on the ground, the hooves just fell to the ground, the black horse started instantly, and the speed was lifted between a few steps, and it soon recovered into a black arrow.
From the group of horse thieves, a yellow-bearded horse thief with a black helmet rushed towards the Xuanjia knight, the yellow-bearded mouth and nose were veiled, only the eyes were exposed, these eyes were a little faint blue, if it was in the bright grassland of spring, only these eyes could charm many young girls.
But at this moment, these eyes were very indifferent, there was no hatred, no anxiety, and even no color, just staring at the oncoming Xuanjia Knight.
Three arrows emerged from the yellow sand, and these arrows were like ghosts, and they were like ghosts, and suddenly they appeared from the yellow sand, and then they came through the strong wind, and they arrived in front of the knight in the armor in a breath.
The Xuanjia knight seemed to have been prepared, the expressionless long knife slashed out continuously, two arrows fell into the yellow sand, but the third one had already arrived in front of him, the Xuanjia knight's left hand lightning poked out, grabbed the arrow, the palm of his hand hurt slightly, and then threw it out.
The arrow was like a meteor, shooting at the Black Helmet and Yellow Beard at a speed not lower than the coming speed.
The yellow beard and high nose only tilted his head slightly, and let the arrow come over, the speed of the yellow horse did not decrease in the slightest, and it was obvious that this horse was also extraordinary.
One black and one yellow, the two horses approached at high speed, and in the blink of an eye, they were in front of them.
"Dang!"
The two blades intersected, and the sound shook the valley, whether it was the fleeing horse thief or the black panther gradually catching up, the ear drums were buzzing, the white-armored knight gasped, shocked and stared, and then showed excitement, the spear was raised again, and the horse's belly was lightly kicked, and the white horse increased its speed again.
The white horse accelerated, and the entire black dragon actually accelerated at the same time. The white horse and the black dragon are like one.
If the Xianbei Marshal of the Megatron Grassland saw this scene, he would not help but praise it, and he would definitely mobilize the most elite warrior in the Xianbei army, the Xianbei Great Khan's guard Heavenly Wolf Guard, to meet the battle.
"When!" "When!" "When!"
The sound of continuous blades intersecting sounded in the canyon, and the two sharp blades collided continuously, splashing a little spark from the edge of the blade, and the huge vibration made the two horses each take two steps back, and the Xuanjia knight and the yellow-bearded man each looked at each other's blades, and both sides were involuntarily surprised, and there were gaps the size of thin rice grains on the long knives and scimitars.
The Xuanjia Knight gasped, his long knife looked ordinary, but it was a treasure knife, and it would not have the slightest problem to cut dozens of steel knives, but he didn't expect that there would be a gap this time.
"Kill!"
There was an angry shout from the rear of the horse thief group, the horse thief behind was even more panicked, Huang Xuhan was extremely nervous, he knew the power of the black panther, and the white horse and white helmet were even more famous in Liangzhou, and there were countless grassland heroes who died in his hands, compared to him, the Xuanjia man in front of him was nothing at all.
Huang Xu Han gritted his teeth and kicked off the belly of the horse, Huang Hustang slammed forward, and the scimitar took an arc to attack the Xuanjia Knight, but the Xuanjia Knight pulled out the horse and left, and the Yellow Beard Han didn't have time to think about it, and accelerated to catch up.
The sound of the hammer, the long arrow with a strong wind went straight to the door, Huang Xuhan shouted, the scimitar rungs collapsed the bow and arrow, Huang Xuhan felt that his arm was numb, he couldn't help but gasp again, looked up and saw that the Xuanjia knight had already killed another group of horse thieves, the knife flashed, the horse thieves fell off their horses one after another, and no one was his enemy.
Huang Xuhan did not chase the Xuanjia Knight, but took advantage of the situation to urge the horse to flee to another exit of the canyon.
The knight of the armor led the caravan guards and the dart master to block it was not resolute, as long as one or two moves could not be cleaned up, they immediately got out of the way, and did not entangle with them, they did not hide their purpose, just blocked it once, and bought time for the black panther behind.
Obviously, the purpose of the Xuanjia Knight has been achieved.
Although it was only a short block, the Panthers seized this fleeting opportunity.
The black panther is the strong force of the Great Jin Border Army, the army within the army, the soldiers, one in a hundred, the war horse, one in a hundred, and the resistance of the Xuanjia Knight, although the time is only so short.
But, enough.
