The Sword of Smiling and Proud

Chapter 88 Mongolian Cavalry
Guan Yuan saw that it was Shen Lian who used the short gun.

Originally, the Mongolian iron cavalry had fought against the Ming army for many years, and they were used to the methods of the Shenji Battalion, so they were no longer afraid of firearms.But this time, in order to capture Shen Lian alive, the cavalry surrounded him very closely, firing short guns right next to their ears, which frightened the horses all at once.

Twenty or thirty horses were in a mess, and several cavalrymen fell off their horses and were seriously injured by being trampled.Taking advantage of the chaos, Guan Yuan pulled Shen Lian up, rushed into the camp quickly, snatched two horses tied at the door, and fled to the south.

While galloping, he looked back and saw that Lama Sangbu suddenly grabbed the two frenzied war horses, and the waist and horses merged into one. He immediately pinned the horses to the ground and couldn't move, stirring up a lot of dust.

This skinny lama is old and has no hair, but he has such supernatural power. Isn't this a turtle fairy just like him?

Although Sang Bu was born with supernatural power, it was not enough to make Guan Yuan run away.The main reason is that he still remembered that the large cavalry who went out to search for thieves was only a hundred miles away. If they came back, the two of them might not be able to escape.

The two rode their horses and galloped, not daring to waste any time.

Even so, after a while, pursuers appeared in their sight.

The group of Mongolian cavalry, one man and three horses, rode alternately, and they were about to catch up soon.

According to the usual practice of the Mongolian army, they took down their bows and arrows, and first threw a round of throws at Guan Yuan and the others.Arrows mixed with Ming Dy, whizzing towards the two of them.

Guan Yuan and Shen Lian took off their robes, waved them in a circle, and blocked most of the arrows. Fortunately, they were chasing instead of meeting each other face to face, otherwise the arrows would be more powerful.

But there are still a few fish that escaped the net and shot Guan Yuan's horse.

The horse fell to the ground in response, Guan Yuan performed lightness kung fu before falling down, and flew to Shen Lian's horse.

In this way, Guan Yuan and Shen Lian carried the two people on one horse, more slowly, and the pursuers behind were getting closer and closer.

Guan Yuan took out the iron bullets from the short gun on Shen Lian's waist, and used An Qingzi's technique to hit the horse's eyes and legs.

After hitting more than a dozen dark blue stones, almost ten horses were missing behind.The other cavalry were very close, they put away their bows and arrows, drew out their scimitars, and prepared to fight hand to hand.

"Go ahead and run." Guan Yuan whispered, followed by another leap, jumping onto the empty horse used for the rotation of chasing troops.

He drew out the Qiushui sword, and stabbed more than a dozen swords in succession. Every time a cavalryman fell to the ground, the chasing soldiers dared not move forward for a while, and then opened up the distance again.

Guan Yuan and Shen Lian had just taken the opportunity to change their horses, when the group of Mongolian cavalry shot arrows with their bows, another wave of arrows hit them.

It's not over yet? !
But this time their number decreased, and the rain of arrows was not as dense as last time.

Guan Yuan knew that it would be impossible for the two of them to run away with their heads down, so he turned around and rushed towards the direction of the Mongolian cavalry.

This charge killed a few more people.

The rest of the cavalry were defeated by Guan Yuan's bravery, and fled in all directions, slowly gathering in a group in the distance, and then from the skyline, Guan Yuan saw that the cavalry brigade heading southeast also came back.

It's really hard to deal with, you can't run away, you can't catch up, you can't finish killing, Guan Yuan began to sympathize with those opponents he met during the Mongolian expedition, it was really annoying.

When Mongolia went west, what they were best at was to send cavalry to provoke first, and then retreat.If the enemy pursues them, hang them and use bows and arrows to deplete the opponent's morale.When the enemy couldn't bear it anymore and turned around to run, they came after them again and shot from behind with bows and arrows.

This tactic seems to be engraved in the genes of the Mongolians and passed down from generation to generation.

Fortunately, Guan Yuan was too timid to kill the pursuers just now, he didn't dare to approach, and it was already dusk, they took advantage of the night and ran a long way.

Shen Lian said, "The Mongols have guides who are good at chasing, and they will definitely follow them. What should we do now?"

Guan Yuan thought for a while and said, "Go to the river, use the river to cover up the horseshoe prints, and then take the opportunity to change direction."

They first took advantage of the darkness to find a not-so-small stream running from west to east.After crossing the river, he ran south for more than ten miles, then returned the same way, and then walked west on the river.

Riding wildly in the river until it was almost dawn, the two of them went ashore and continued on their way to the west.

The Mongolian pursuers thought that they would rush back to the territory of Ming Dynasty and would inevitably go south or east, so they did the opposite, heading west all the way to deceive the pursuers.

This trick really worked at the beginning, and they didn't encounter any pursuers for two consecutive days.But on the third day, just after dawn, Guan Yuan heard the sound of horseshoes, and the pursuers came up again.

After fleeing all the way for 5 or 6 days, the two had already headed west to the edge of the Yellow River, crossed the river and then went west, which was the Hetao area.

During this period they were overtaken three times.

For the first time, Guan Yuan showed his might and rushed into the cavalry in the opposite direction against the rain of arrows.He used Huashan Sword Intent and killed dozens of people in one breath, but he was finally forced back by a steady stream of cavalry.

It's a pity that both of them had no hidden weapons in their hands. After the Qiushui sword withstood a wave of chasing arrows, it was broken by Guan Yuanyun's internal strength.

The second time, the old lama Sangbu led his men to chase him up. When the enemies met, they were extremely jealous, and they fought together again.

Guan Yuan used his innate skills, exerted all his strength, and slammed more than ten palms, even Sangbu's body was like a steel and iron frame, he was beaten until he vomited blood and fell to the ground.

Of course, Guan Yuan was also seriously injured, this time it wasn't that the meridians in his arm were damaged, but his dantian began to ache.

He knew that this was a manifestation of his innate skills driving too much and hollowing out his dantian.If I continue to use it recklessly, I am afraid that the innate energy that I have condensed before will dissipate, and my success will fall short.

Shen Lian desperately snatched the injured Guan Yuan out of the chaos, and was shot in the back with an arrow.

The third time, Sangbu didn't show up, he should be recovering from his injuries, and the cavalry was still chasing him.Guan Yuan braced his injured body, grabbed an iron spear, used it as a javelin, threw it fiercely, pierced two horses, and nailed a leader of the team to the ground.

The pursuers were overwhelmed by Guan Yuan's bravery, and dared not approach from afar.

If they had stepped forward, they would have known that Guan Yuan was exhausted at this moment, and if it hadn't been for Shen Lian to support him, he might have fallen off his horse.

Under the awe-inspiring eyes of the Mongolians, the two left slowly.

Since then, there has been no pursuit for a long time. It should be that the Mongols respect the strong, fear and respect the two men, and dare not come again.

Only a group of lamas are still chasing after them. This orthodox dispute is really unforgettable.

But I'm not a Taoist priest, are these lamas single-minded, Guan Yuan cursed inwardly.

The two found a simple ferry and left a flat boat unattended. They crossed the Yellow River and came to the Hetao area. Further south was Yulin Fort in Shaanxi, the border of Daming.

After walking more than ten miles, an inn suddenly appeared on this uninhabited grassland.

Guan Yuan stopped his horse and took a closer look. On the fluttering wine streamer, there was a dragon and a snake written on it, and the word "Longmen" was written on it.
