Chapter 44 Kill your horse first
When it was getting dark, a Jurchen who was on guard at the edge of the camp suddenly spotted two men riding towards them on horseback.

So, he shouted loudly: "Jiligulu, diarrhea and diarrhea..."

Fortunately, Shen Lian knew some Jurchen language and immediately responded loudly: "Bibala Zhao Jingzhong!"

This was Ding Xiu's plan, to pretend to be Zhao Jingzhong and sneak into the Jurchen camp, and then kill the opponent's leader before they were prepared, causing them to fall into chaos.

The other party had never seen Zhao Jingzhong at all, and since he had been ordered to meet him here, he naturally did not suspect anything and immediately welcomed the two of them into the camp.

The leader of the Jurchens could speak some Central Plains dialect. He stepped forward and asked, "Why are there only two of you? Li Chengxiu didn't come?"

He didn't ask Li Yongfang. He thought he had already received the news and knew that Li Yongfang failed to escape smoothly.

Shen Lian replied: "There are pursuers all the way, so we can only go separately."

After saying this, the other party had no doubts. He raised his hand and made an invitation gesture: "Friends, sit down and drink together."

"Thank you!"

Shen Lian nodded and glanced at Ding Xiu.

At this time, Ding Xiu saw that the leader turned around, and immediately drew his sword with lightning speed, drew out the sword, and killed people in one go.

The leader didn't have time to react. The knife had already pierced the leather armor on his body and penetrated straight into his abdominal cavity.

Shen Lian also rose up at the same time and killed a Jurchen soldier on the left with one strike.

"Barbara..."

Immediately, there were roars one after another in the camp, and a group of Jurchen soldiers, some wielding swords, surrounded them, while others rushed towards the horses tied in the camp.

After all, their biggest advantage is horse fighting.

"kill!"

Shen Lian gave a loud shout, and together with Ding Xiu, they slashed at the Jurchen soldiers that surged forward.

After cutting down five or six people in a row, Ding Xiu saw more than ten Jurchen soldiers riding over on war horses, and immediately shouted at Shen Lian: "You hold on first, and I'll deal with those cavalry."

Shen Lian responded, but at the same time he did not forget to warn: "Be careful."

Ding Xiu held the Miao Dao in both hands and rushed towards the opponent's cavalry without fear.

It takes great courage to fight infantry against cavalry, and horseless horses against horses.

Of course, what Ding Xiu lacks most is courage.

Cavalry is the most annoying thing, kill your horse first.

"Boom boom boom..."

The horse's hooves trampled on the ground, causing the earth to tremble, smoke and dust billowing, and murderous intent rising.

This is also one of the greatest advantages of the cavalry. The sound of hooves is like thunder, speed is like wind, and it surges like a mudslide. This momentum alone can make the infantry terrified.

"kill!"

As Ding Xiu shouted, the war horse at the front suddenly let out a mournful cry. The horse lost its front hoof, and its heavy body rolled over under the huge inertia.

The Jurchen cavalry on horseback also somersaulted in the air like a kite with a broken string.

It was true that the horse stumbled, and Ding Xiu chopped off its right front hoof with a knife.

The horse behind him couldn't get enough momentum and tripped over the rolling horse. He immediately lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Ding Xiu moved left and right among the horses and the light of the sword, swinging the sword non-stop, specifically slashing the horse's legs.

Of course, this requires another person. Surrounded by more than a dozen cavalry, it is good to be able to protect yourself. There is no chance to cheat.

After all, a war horse is half the life of a cavalryman, so how could he just let someone kill his horse?

Everything is based on the strength of both parties.

The strength of these Jurchens is not at the same level as that of Ding Xiu. They all rely on the strength of their numbers to attack in turn.

Unfortunately, it didn't take long before each one of them turned from cavalry to infantry, and then from infantry to corpses.

This battle once again allowed Shen Lian to see Ding Xiu's strength with his own eyes, and he was extremely shocked in his heart.After all, he had fought with the Jurchens, and he knew very well how powerful the Jurchen cavalry were. As a result, a pair of Ding Xiu was like a flock of sheep meeting a wolf.

"Kill, leave none!"

After killing the cavalry, Ding Xiu didn't stop for a moment and rushed towards Shen Lian like a whirlwind.

As soon as he went up, he knocked over two more.

The remaining Jurchens were completely frightened and scattered and fled at all costs.

The morale of one side was high, and the other side was brave enough to fight. As you can imagine, none of the Jurchens could escape.

Shen Lian was rich in experience. After walking around the camp, he said to Ding Xiu: "The other party should have two scouts who have not returned to the camp. Let's go to the outside to intercept and kill them. We can't let them spread the message."

"Yeah!" Ding Xiu nodded: "Split up."

The two unlucky Jurchen scouts never expected that someone had taken over the camp. They did a routine reconnaissance outside and then returned to the camp to report the news.

As a result, he was attacked and killed before he could return to the camp.

Two days later, Zhao Jingzhong finally led four of his men to the location agreed upon by both parties.

"Father, there is someone on the hillside."

"It seems to be a Jurchen scout."

"Great!" Zhao Jingzhong was overjoyed and hurriedly rode forward. At the same time, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Hey... Let's compete, Zhao Jingzhong!"

In fact, the person on the hillside is Shen Lian.

It was just that they were far apart, and Shen Lian was still wearing a Jurchen leather hat and had his ear protection down, almost covering his entire face. Zhao Jingzhong couldn't recognize him at all.

"%@#￥......"

Shen Lian responded with a suppressed voice, waved to Zhao Jingzhong and others, and turned his horse's head at the same time.

Zhao Jingzhong's face lit up and he shouted to his four subordinates: "Quick, follow us!"

These four men were his confidants in Dongchang. Li Chengxiu was not with him, and the two of them were separated to avoid being easily exposed in large numbers.

Shen Lian patted his horse and walked down the hillside.

Zhao Jingzhong and his party of five excitedly followed them on horseback.

Unexpectedly, just after climbing over the hillside, Shen Lian suddenly turned around, raised his hand and fired two crossbow arrows, killing one of Zhao Jingzhong's men on the spot.

Almost at the same time, Ding Xiu also rushed out from behind a big rock and repeated his old trick, slashing at the horse Zhao Jingzhong was riding.

Zhao Jingzhong's face changed with shock, but he reacted quickly. He jumped off the horse and then pulled out a spear tied to the saddle with his backhand.

"Bah!"

One of the front legs of the horse was cut off by Ding Xiu, and it neighed and rolled downhill.

Zhao Jingzhong's forehead was throbbing with veins. He took a few steps back with his gun in hand and looked around anxiously.

He had guessed something in his mind. After all, Shen Lian was wearing Jurchen clothes and riding a Jurchen horse. He was afraid that the Jurchen who came to rescue him had been killed.

But he didn't believe that Ding Xiu and the others were so capable. There might be many people ambushing them around.

Ding Xiu smiled jokingly: "Eunuch Zhao, there's no need to look, it's just me and Master Shen here."

At this time, Shen Lian took off the leather hat on his head and threw it to the ground, and said coldly to Zhao Jingzhong: "Eunuch Zhao, how dare you betray the Ming Dynasty and pay money, are you not afraid of implicating the nine tribes?"

Zhao Jingzhong was frightened in his heart, but he still had a condescending look on his face and snorted, "I have underestimated you ants, and you are still able to chase me here."

Ding Xiu strode forward, pointed the tip of his knife at Zhao Jingzhong and sneered: "You are an eunuch, you dare not speak harshly until you are about to die?
Last time I escaped after a few sneak attacks. Let's see where you go this time! "
