Hearing the sudden report, Tana's calm face added a little worry. m.

After a moment's reluctance, she asked in a deep voice:

"How many soldiers and horses are there in the enemy? How far are we from us? ”

"Looking back, the vanguard of the other side is about 5,000 elite cavalry, and it is only twenty miles away from us."

The spies answered immediately.

"Five thousand elites came first, it seems that they arrived at our garrison first, and only chased after us after discovering our transfer. The five thousand elites came first, the purpose was to hold us back and wait for their main force to come. ”

"We certainly don't walk as fast as they catch up, and instead of being caught up while walking, let's wait for our work, quickly eliminate them, and then rush again, what do you think?"

Tana asked, looking at the others.

The military advisors, Agoura, Chaolu and others nodded in agreement.

Mu Qianmei pondered for a moment and suggested:

"Aunt Tana, I think we can divide two thousand soldiers and horses to escort the old and weak and wounded soldiers to leave first, and we will leave eight thousand men and horses to set up a defensive formation and wait, and when they catch up, quickly destroy the enemy, and after defeating the opponent, we will chase at full speed, so that the walking speed will be much faster. After all, their follow-up main force should not be far away, and we can't be entangled by them, let alone caught up by their main force. ”

"Okay, time is pressing, so follow Fluttershy's suggestion, Agoura, you arrange for someone to lead 2,000 soldiers and horses to escort the clan first, and the others will wait for Chaolu to command the formation and prepare to meet the enemy."

Tana commanded decisively.

"Yes, my subordinates obey!"

"Okay, let's go and set it up."

Agoura and Chaolu were ordered to go separately, and quickly commanded and arranged.

Looking at the people of the Qiyan tribe escorted by two thousand soldiers and horses, they still walked very slowly because of the large amount of luggage.

Mu Qianmei couldn't help but suggest again:

"Aunt Tana, they have too much luggage, at such a speed, they will definitely catch up, why not order some things to be thrown away, everyone only leaves five days' dry food, water bags and two sets of change of clothes, travel lightly, speed up, only in this way, it is possible to get out of the grassland and not be caught up by them."

"Leave your luggage?"

Tana asked in surprise.

All along, they have been walking with their luggage on the way to escape, because it is their daily belongings.

It never occurred to me to throw them away.

However, after only thinking about it for a while, and considering the priority of the matter, Tana immediately called Agula and passed the order.

When everyone heard such an order, they were very reluctant for a while, hesitated, this is reluctant to throw, that is reluctant to throw, seeing this scene, Tana said loudly in the steppe language:

"In this situation, life is the most important thing, if the luggage is gone, we can buy it again, if the life is gone, what is the use of our luggage?"

Everyone hurriedly threw away their luggage and traveled lightly.

Without the baggage, the speed of walking is much faster.

Looking at the backs of everyone hurrying away, Tana's face showed a slight hint of comfort.

And here, Chaolu calmly dispatched, arranged the troops, and had the demeanor of a general, just like two people in normal times.

In a few moments, all the soldiers were arranged according to the most advantageous formation.

The soldiers who had already rested, all in good spirits and high morale, were in full spirits to meet the upcoming battle.

"Aunt Tana, you command the transfer in the back, and we will go to the front to support, it is best to minimize the losses."

Mu Qianmei said to Tana.

"Well, go ahead, be careful, put your personal safety first."

Tana was no longer polite, and with a word of advice, she let them pass.

Mu Qianmei and Liu Tingfeng got on horseback and hurriedly ran to the front of the team.

They had just arrived at the front of the line and stood there

Ding, I saw a large group of cavalry galloping towards me, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, I saw only a piece of black oppression.

Due to the fast speed, it looks very imposing.

Especially when the distance is getting closer and closer, I heard the sound of neat horses' hooves, but the five thousand soldiers and horses are like ten thousand horses galloping, the momentum is amazing, and the sound is earth-shattering.

The sound of people, horses, and running sounded the horn before the war in the open grassland.

Chaolu, Agula, Mu Qianmei and Liu Tingfeng stood quietly at the front of the team, their expressions calm and firm.

Only when he heard the relatively neat sound of horses' hooves did Chao Lu's brows furrow, and his expression became more solemn.

This is indeed an elite cavalry.

If you can train a war horse so neatly, you must be a master of horse taming.

When the other party came to 500 meters away, Chaolu raised his right hand and signaled that he was ready to bend his bow and arrows.

But at this moment, the sound of the other party's horses' hooves suddenly stopped, and it actually stopped at a place of about 400 meters.

From the rush to the emergency stop, the voice is not too messy, and it is really well-trained.

At this time, one of the opposing generals ran out of the team about twenty meters and began to shout and speak loudly in the grassland dialect.

Because she said a lot of words and spoke quickly, Mu Qianmei didn't fully understand, and only occasionally understood one or two commonly used words.

So Mu Qianmei asked Agoura:

"Agoura, what exactly is he talking about?"

"He said that he heard that our team came to the master, and asked to use a competition to decide the winner, ten people on each side, limited to ten games, and those who can win six games will win, and if each wins five games and draws, they will add another game to decide the winner, and the losing side will surrender unconditionally."

Agoura explained.

"Oh? Decide the winner in a competition? Six wins out of ten? It seems that this is a method of agitation and a delaying tactic! After ten martial arts competitions, their main force should arrive, and when the time comes, the initiative is in their hands, and whether we win or lose is under his control. ”

"Therefore, I propose to change to two wins in three fights, simple, direct, fast, and we have to buy time to hurry."

By the way, does he mean that the losing side will surrender with the whole army, or will the current forces surrender? It seems that they have a good hand to help, so we have to be cautious. ”

Mu Qianmei thought about it and said slowly.

Because the grassland was empty and the distance was not too far, Tana, who was in the rear of the army, also heard the other party's shout, and her face was worried.

Agoura looked at Tana's leader from afar and asked for Tana's opinion in a loud voice.

Tana also replied loudly:

"Make your own decisions!"

Agoura asked the other party a few more questions, and expressed his own opinion according to Mu Qianmei's statement.

After a moment of conversation, Agoura said:

"The opposing side insists on winning at least three out of five matches, and the losing side surrenders the current team to the other side."

"No, just win two battles in three battles, and if the other party doesn't agree, we will order an attack."

Mu Qianmei said decisively.

Once again, Agoura spoke loudly and firmly about his side's position, and if he did not agree, he would meet each other.

The other party discussed a few words, and finally agreed to the match of two wins in three battles.

Agoura didn't wait for Mu Qianmei to speak, so he took the initiative to ask:

"I'm going to do this first game, and I'm bound to get off to a good start."

After speaking, as if he was afraid that Mu Qianmei would object, he hurriedly slapped his horse and went forward.

Mu Qianmei had no choice but to say loudly in the back:

"Be careful, whether you win or lose, saving your life is the most important thing!"

"Don't worry, I see."

Agoura replied from a distance, and as he spoke, his horse had run into the open space in the middle of the two sides, waiting confidently for the other man to come on.

The other side is still deliberating, and there seems to be an argument.

After a while, from their ranks, an ordinary soldier slowly stepped out and trotted towards Agoura.

Agoura was ready to fight.

The other party stepped forward without announcing his name, raised a long sword in his hand, said "look at the move", and quickly attacked.

Agoura didn't say much, and raised his sword to face the battle.

The swords came and went, and they were evenly matched.

How could an ordinary soldier on the other side be on a par with Agoura?

Agoura is the current number one warrior of the Qiyan tribe!

Mu Qianmei couldn't help frowning and said:

"It seems that there are martial arts masters in their team, this swordsmanship, I think it feels a little familiar?"

Liu Tingfeng said:

"I think this swordsmanship is a bit evil, and it is by no means a decent martial art. But I've never seen such a sword technique, and I think this one, it's hard for Agoura to win. ”

Chao Lu shook his head and said:

"I am a layman in martial arts and swordsmanship, but I can also see that Agoura is more passive, and the situation is really not good."

At this time, the military who was standing with Tana in the rear said loudly:

"You have to be careful, it's the disciples of the Netherworld Sect who are here, and they are using the Netherworld Sword Technique."

"Nether Sword Technique? No wonder I feel familiar! It turned out that this was the swordsmanship of Situ Changxiao against Jizhigrad back then, but this swordsmanship was obviously not yet hot, and it did not fully exert its advantages, otherwise Agoura would not have the strength to fight back at all. ”

Mu Qianmei said.

Immediately afterward, she said:

"Tingfeng, you go forward, Agoura is in danger, they will also apply poison, when you fight, you must also be careful, try to hold your breath."

"Okay."

Liu Tingfeng didn't dare to delay, and after answering two words, he hurriedly urged the horse forward to rescue Agoura.

At this moment, the other party's sleeve was slightly raised at Agoura, and a faint fragrance immediately emanated.

"Agoura, be careful, it's poisonous!"

Liu Tingfeng hurriedly reminded.

But it was too late, and Agoura had just inhaled a mouthful of poison gas.

I suddenly felt dizzy.

The other party stabbed with a sword, and he raised his knife to meet him, but he was half a beat slower.

Seeing that the situation was in crisis, Liu Tingfeng hurriedly threw out the scabbard and plunged it straight into the other party's heart.

With Liu Tingfeng's internal strength, although it is only a scabbard, if it is inserted, it will inevitably pass through the chest and kill immediately.

When the tip of the opponent's sword was still half an inch away from Agoura's chest, Liu Tingfeng's scabbard had already stabbed him, and if he didn't care about the damage of the scabbard, he could have stabbed Agoura's heart on the spot.

However, his own heart was bound to be pierced by the scabbard.

It's a lose-lose situation.

The other party had no choice but to return to the sword and dodge sharply, narrowly avoiding the vital point.

Although Agoura was a little dizzy, his brain was still clear, and for the first time in a moment, he felt that death was so close to him.

In the battle of masters, the distance of half an inch is sometimes not a distance at all, and it can be stabbed in an instant.

Fortunately, Liu Tingfeng came in time and rescued him at this critical moment.

The other party dodged the scabbard, and with a wave of sleeves, another burst of poisonous gas floated out.

Liu Tingfeng didn't dare to be careless, quickly held his breath, pulled Agula onto his horse with one hand, and forced back the opponent's attack with a sword in his hand, and hurriedly retreated into his own team.

Mu Qianmei watched Liu Tingfeng rescue Agula back, and hurriedly said loudly:

"Don't stop, hurry up and send it to the military division for rescue."

Liu Tingfeng looked down and saw that Agoura was already unconscious, knowing that the poisoning was still quite deep and his life was in danger, so he didn't speak, so he patted the horse's back and hurriedly ran to the location of the military division.
