Ming Zuo

Chapter 2 Nine Dead Lives
The land of Hebei is as flat as a mirror, it is a paradise for galloping horses.

But at this moment, the three of Zuo Menggeng wanted to cry but had no tears.

The terrain is very flat, although the horses can gallop freely, but they cannot get rid of the chasing soldiers.

In particular, there is also a person immediately, which affects the speed even more.

Wait, what about people?
Why is there no movement?

Zuo Menggeng looked down and found that the girl lying on the saddle was silent, only her body swayed slightly with the bumps.

"You're not going to die, are you?"

"You can't speak... ugh... ah..."

The girl vomited and felt disgusted.

There were motion sickness, seasickness, and now horsesickness.

"Forbearance."

Zuo Menggeng couldn't, so he could only comfort him.

"I...I'm going to die."

Zuo Menggeng didn't have time to take care of her.

"Can't die."

But when did the girl suffer from this crime? She felt that Zuo Menggeng was deliberately targeting her, and she couldn't help muttering: "Dulu."

Zuo Menggeng was taken aback, thinking what dialect she was speaking.Although I don't understand it, I know it's not a good word.

She couldn't help gnashing her teeth and slapped her ass.

"If you dare to scold me again, I will throw you to the thieves."

Is the girl's ass just touchable?
"Ah... Xiaoyasan, Nong's death quota!"

This time, he was still scolding, but without any power, Zuo Menggeng pursed his lips and smiled. Just as he was about to respond, Zuo Rong's anxious voice came.

"Master, the thieves are surrounded."

Zuo Menggeng looked hurriedly, only to realize that the thieves did not know when they split up.A group of knights took a shortcut and blocked their way.

There are chasing troops in the back, and there are interceptions in the front.

At a critical juncture, Zuo Menggeng showed murderous intent instead.

"Rush over."

Zuo Rong and Zuo Hua took the lead and accelerated at the same time, blocking Zuo Menggeng.

When he was about to fight, Zuo Menggeng didn't dare to be negligent. He grabbed and released it, and the girl who was lying on the saddle suddenly came behind him and finally sat up.

After riding the windmill again, the girl's eyes were full of stars.

"Nong organized again?"

Seeing the enemy getting closer, Zuo Menggeng ignored her and shouted, "Hold tight, I won't save you if you fall."

The girl was so frightened that she didn't have time to think about it, she quickly wrapped her arms around his waist.

The breath of the opposite sex blows, but it does not cause any ripples.Because the girl also saw the thieves who rushed forward wielding a machete.

Without the girl standing in the way, Zuo Menggeng pulled out his long knife, his eyes fixed on the enemy in front of him.

At this moment, his mind was empty.

The deafening hooves of horses were gone, the sharp and cruel roars were gone, and the warm and fragrant nephrite behind them could not be felt.

He clutched the knife tightly, his eyes narrowed.

Between the lightning and flint, the two groups of people collided.

Zuo Menggeng didn't have time to think about anything, so he could only use the knife and retract the knife as he practiced on weekdays, then his eyes widened, and he blocked any attack on himself.

It seems like a long time, but it seems to be fast.

All of a sudden it was empty, and there was nothing left.

"Master, let's go."

Zuo Rong slowed down his horse, and this time he fell behind Zuo Menggeng, and dutifully got up.

Horse fighting is definitely not a turn-based battle.

The cavalry's greatest weapon is actually speed.

With the help of the galloping power of the warhorse, the enemy was overwhelmed at once, and the combat goal was completed.

As for the two sides riding on the horse, you attack, I block, then I attack, you block, etc...

I'm sorry, but the director lied to you.

Even using a machete to fight on horseback, the vast majority are not slashing.

Only unarmored nomads will use this style of play, and the killing efficiency is very high.

But in the face of the well-armored Ming cavalry, can you try hacking?

It's almost impossible to cut through armor.

Facing the armored cavalry, the best weapons are long and heavy weapons such as spears or mace.

If it is a machete, the best way is to wipe it.

When the two cavalry staggered, seize the opportunity and swipe at the place where the other side had no protection.

Note, not smearing.

If it is stabbed, the weapon can easily get stuck and cannot be pulled out.

If you plan, you will follow the trend, whether it is successful or not, at least there is room to protect your own safety.

Under normal circumstances, when the cavalry is hedging, they can basically only attack this way.For the rest of the time, how to block the messy attacks and survive the charge is the top priority of the cavalry.

The speed of the horse is so fast that many times when your knife is raised before it can hit someone, the horse has already rushed over.

Zuo Menggeng is like that.

The first attack was quick and poisonous, directly wiping a horse bandit's neck.Afterwards, the machete blocked again with the left grid, and occasionally the knife was fired. After rushing past, he was already tired and out of breath.

There was a stabbing pain under the ribs, and when I reached out to touch it, it was full of blood, obviously from a knife.There is also a hole in the left arm, as deep as the bone.

Looking at Zuo Rong and Zuo Hua again, they were not much better, they were all injured.

However, their results were very gratifying, and they brought down a full ten cavalry.

But there are too many enemies, and if they continue to fight, they will definitely have no way to survive.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the enemy's cavalry to go around in circles, the three of them raised their horses' speed to the limit and ran madly.

The thieves have been killed so much, and they have also inspired their fierceness, and they are obviously not ready to give up.

The two groups of people were on the desolate ground again, and they started a chase and escape drama.

The dust billows, the cold wind is like a knife, and a bright red setting sun seems to herald the danger of this land.

This run is more than an hour.

Zuo Menggeng didn't have time to stop to deal with the wound, and he didn't know how much blood was shed. He always felt groggy and seemed to be unable to hold on.

Fortunately, the girl behind her has been very obedient during this period of time and did not make trouble again.

These can be endured, but the horse can't.

The three horses were steaming with sweat, covered in crystal sweat from beginning to end.If you run further, I am afraid you will be exhausted to death.

"Master, there is a small bridge ahead."

Zuo Menggeng was refreshed and looked around quickly.

Not far ahead, there is a small river that has dried up.Not long after it dried up, the riverbed was full of mud.

There is a small wooden bridge on the river, and only two horses can pass in parallel.

Finally found hope of life, Zuo Menggeng hurriedly said: "Cross the bridge."

After three rides, one in front, two behind, and after crossing the bridge, he stopped running.

Zuo Rong and Zuo Hua took bows and arrows from their saddles and stood by the bridge.

Those gangsters chased after them, and as soon as they stepped on the bridge, they were shot down with one arrow by the two of them.

The rest of the bandits were startled and retreated, leaving the wooden bridge far away, but they did not leave.

After a while, twenty of the bandits split up and headed into the distance.

Everyone knows that they are looking for other ways.Once they came around, Zuo Menggeng and the others were still dead.

"Master, what should I do?"

Zuo Hua was in a panic.

"Brother, why don't you take the young master and go first, and I'll stop it later."

This bridge is currently the only passage, but as long as they let go, the bandits will immediately rush over and continue to pursue them.

Zuo Hua obviously planned to sacrifice himself to buy time for Zuo Menggeng to escape.

Zuo Rong looked at his younger brother's tender face, tears were pouring down like rain, and he would do as he did.

Zuo Menggeng said, "Set fire to the bridge."

He had already come off the horse, and he was shaky from the torment of the two wounds. If the girl hadn't had a little conscience to support him, he would have been unable to hold on.

Zuo Rong and Zuo Hua were very annoyed when they heard that the bridge was burning.

Why didn't you think of this way?

At the moment, the two divided the work, Zuo Rong guarded the bridge, and Zuo Hua ran around to search for firewood.

Zuo Menggeng sat on the ground slowly, trying to regain some strength.

The girl was always by his side. Seeing that blood was bubbling from his stomach and arms, he gritted his teeth and ripped off two pieces of the hem of his skirt, and began to bandage him.

Until this time, Zuo Menggeng had no chance to take a closer look at the girl he rescued.

But see the whole body of the white silk jacket, with gold thread densely embroidered at the front of the clothes, and a mink cape over it.

The girl with flaming red sable hair has smoky brows and jade-like face, her cherry mouth is dark and dark, and her straight nose is full and moist.The eyes are full of waves like the waves of the West Lake, and the clouds on the temples are like the waterfalls of Mount Lu.

There is nothing that is not exquisite, and there is nothing that is not graceful.

Zuo Menggeng lived in the Liaodong army, and every day he was confronted with slaughtering rough men. He had never seen such a figure in a painting.

For a while, it was a little crazy.

The girl had stopped the bleeding and bandaged him silently. Feeling a little weird, she raised her head, just in time to meet his dazed expression.

"Bah, I'm doing it."

It's obviously a curse, but soft words can only add ecstasy.
