Chapter 225 Don't Ask Too Much

Li Rui said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, we have to get out of here quickly... I wanted to escape into the mountains, but I didn't want to bump into these barbarians on the way. I'm lucky to have saved my life! Pei Quhou, let's go quickly."

Bar!"

Pei Wei asked: "I wonder where Chief Li Zuo plans to go?"

Li Rui pointed in the direction he chose: "There!"

When Pei Wei saw the expression on his confidant's face, he said happily: "Captain Li Zuo and I really have a good understanding of each other! I originally planned to escape there. There are several military strongholds there that have not been captured by the barbarians. If you escape there, you can hide in the army.

In the stronghold, we are temporarily out of danger!"

Li Rui smiled on the surface, but his heart was trembling... Sure enough, you really can't run around when you don't know the road! He only knew to hide in the mountains for safety, but he didn't know that there was a Jin army camp there. Fortunately, he met Pei Wei.

Otherwise, if he is just fooling around like this, he might be arrested by the Jin army and use his head to make a contribution, and he might not be able to find anyone to make him cry!

Pei Wei didn't know that he was complaining madly in his heart, and said with regret: "During the breakout, I suggested Captain Su to retreat to Xiong'er Mountain and retreat into the Shenling Village to protect himself, but he didn't listen and insisted on going straight.

Luoyang, I don’t even think about it, most of our troops are infantry, how can two-legged people outrun those four-legged beasts! The result is good, just after walking more than ten miles away from the city, the barbarian cavalry came like a tide.

Come here..." While complaining about the stupidity of the unlucky Captain Su, he quickly collected the loot. The heads of the barbarians who were shot to death by Li Rui's arrows were all chopped off by him. As for the barbarian officer,

Then they asked him to take off his iron armor and tie him tightly with ropes. It seemed that he was going to take him back and offer him as a prisoner.

He was quick with his hands and feet, and it seemed that he had been doing this job for a long time. In just a short time, he had captured four horses of the barbarians, stripped off two sets of armor, and picked up several weapons. He picked the highest

He gave the big horse to Li Rui and said, "There is still a long way to get to Shen Shen Zhai from here. It will take two hours on foot. It's better to ride a horse faster." He directly handed the reins to Li Rui without asking whether he knew how to ride a horse.

he.

In fact, in this era, this kind of behavior is not only redundant, but also a bit insulting. The Wei and Jin Dynasties inherited the martial arts style of the Qin and Han Dynasties. Everyone was proud of being versatile in both civil and military affairs. From nobles to common people, they all loved Xi Jinping.

Wu, although the Sima family has gone through a lot of troubles since coming to power, the atmosphere of allowing civility and martial arts, and enterprising spirit has been weakened a lot, but it has not yet reached the point of worshiping civility and deposing martial arts. Children of noble families and sons of good families are still proud to practice martial arts and join the army. These

Most of them were from good families, and most of them could afford horses and martial arts masters, so most of them had good riding skills. In the Western Jin army, it was hard to say if they were ordinary soldiers, but there were not many officers like the village chief.

He knows how to ride a horse! If you meet an officer leading a hundred troops and ask him if he can ride a horse, he will probably reward you with a big buckle.

Li Rui really knows how to ride a horse, whether it's the unlucky guy who was hit by a horseman or he himself, he can ride a horse. As I said before, he can even ride a horse and shoot, let alone ride a horse. But looking at

This war horse, which is over one and a half meters tall at the shoulders and has piercing eyes, is a bit difficult for him:

No stirrups!

Well, it's not that there are no stirrups. This horse still has stirrups on its belly, but it's made of cloth, and there's only one. It's purely for convenience when getting on and off the horse. You don't need it after you get on the horse. You rely on your legs to control the horse. This

It is completely shoddy. If any equestrian club dares to provide students with such horses with only one side of cloth stirrups, parents will be sprayed to the sky in minutes!

But he didn't have to complain, because he knew that the war horses in the Western Jin Dynasty only had one-sided stirrups. The stirrups of this era were all like this, and it was useless for him to complain. However, he really couldn't imagine that there were no stirrups, so he could only What would it be like to ride a horse for twenty or thirty miles while relying on his legs to control the horse? With his riding skills, this stretch of road would probably be enough for him to fall to death twenty or thirty times, right? He also thought Not that much. Pull a piece of hemp rope through the hole in the saddle of the high bridge, and hang it down to the horse's belly on the side without stirrups. It is just enough to fully straighten your legs on the horse, and leave the soles of your feet for easy stuffing. The space where it was inserted was tied into a tight knot. After doing this, he rode on it and tried it. It still felt awkward, but it was better than nothing.

That's it.

Pei Wei was confused by this operation and asked: "Captain Li Zuo, what are you doing?"

Li Rui said: "I am not good at riding, so I need stirrups to help me ride on the horse, so I bought an extra stirrup."

Pei Wei said: "I don't recommend you do this, because your feet remain in the stirrups while riding, and it will be difficult to break free after falling off the horse. In the end, you will be dragged to death."

Li Rui said: "That's better than falling to death."

Seeing that he persisted, Pei Wei didn't say anything, stepped on the one-sided cloth stirrup and got on the horse. Li Rui observed his movements and found that he immediately took his feet out of the stirrup after getting on the horse, relying on the high bridge saddle and His legs fixed him on the horse's back. He could only write a big word of "submission" about this. Give him ten courages and he would not dare to ride like this because he was afraid of being thrown to death!

The Hu officer was gagged and tied to the chin on the horse by Pei Wei, unable to move. At this time, he had woken up and found that he was tied up with a look of fear. He twisted his body desperately and tried to break free. Pei Wei cursed: "Do you want to die!" He picked up the sheathed ring-headed knife and was about to hit him, when a cloud of smoke and dust suddenly rose in the distance. He couldn't help but change his face slightly, and shouted: "Brother Li, Hulu has passed through the camp again, we Let’s go!”

Li Rui shouted: "You are leading the way, I don't know the way!"

Pei Wei didn't care to think about why he, as a defender of Yiyang, didn't even know the way to Shen Shen Zhai. He kicked the horse's belly with his foot, and the horse neighed under his crotch and shot towards Shen Shen Zhai like an arrow. He galloped away in the direction. Li Rui followed closely behind, and the two of them and the three riders ran very fast!

Looking for guys while running...

The sunset bow he pulled out from the pile of dead people, which is said to be able to shoot down the sun, is so powerful. It weighs more than 140 pounds. Even on the ground, it is a bit laborious to draw it full, and on horseback. Don't even mention it. Fortunately, this Hu officer also had a horse bow and a bag of arrows hanging on his saddle. He picked up the bow and tried it. It was okay. The bow power was about eighty pounds. , in an era when there were no metal stirrups and the feet could not find a support point on the horse's back, for a mounted archer, such a horse bow was already an out-and-out strong bow, capable of shooting through a horse within forty or fifty meters. Human leather armor is not a difficult task!

Of course, it would be best if you can escape without using it.

However, his little wish may come true. Because this area is a narrow plain, even if he runs ten miles away, the barbarians can still see him. What's more, if he is riding a horse, his target will be even more obvious! Without any surprise, a group of sixty or seventy barbarian cavalry raised up dust all over the sky, swept across the battlefield, and chased the two unlucky men! Maybe they saw the beheaded men on the ground while passing by the battlefield. The corpses with their armor removed, the barbarians roared angrily. The roar was like a pack of wolves howling at the moon. Although Li Rui couldn't understand what they were roaring, he clearly understood the meaning behind the roars. mean:

Revenge! Revenge! Revenge!!!

He turned his head and took a look, "Hey guys, there's a huge cloud there!" He turned pale with fright and shouted: "Hou Pei Qu, did we accidentally kill or capture some important person?"

Pei Wei didn't know why: "How do you say this?"

Li Rui said: "Otherwise, why would there be so many barbarians coming to hunt us down?"

Pei Wei said: "Is it a lot? Not much, okay. When Su Xiaowei led us to break through, the number of barbarians we bumped into was huge. They were tens of thousands. They surrounded our army tightly on three levels inside and three outside.

The dust raised by the horses' hooves covered the sky, and the rain of arrows was impenetrable..."

The sound of horse hooves from behind got closer, and Li Rui shouted in a broken voice: "Stop talking and run quickly. If you don't run, you will have to feel the fear of the earth falling apart again!"

Pei Wei looked behind him, his face turned pale, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense. He kept whipping the horse with a whip to make the horse run faster.

In this regard, these two unlucky guys still had a bit of an advantage. They reported their homes and collected trophies, and wasted a lot of time on the battlefield. The war horses used this time to take a good rest, and this guy

The people came in a hurry after bumping into the fleeing Hu people and learned that there was a Jin Army archer here. They ran for a long way before they were discovered, and the horse's physical strength was exhausted a lot.

With the ebb and flow of the situation, it is really not easy to catch up with these two products!

Li Rui galloped on his horse and ran for several miles. He found that the barbarians could not catch up with him. He could not help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said to Pei Wei: "Thank God, their horses are tired and they can't catch up with us!"

Pei Wei's face was as dark as water: "I'm afraid that's not the case. If you don't believe me, just look back!"

Li Rui turned around and saw that his jaw was almost dislocated...

He has seen many times of sharpening a gun before battle, but he has never seen it before changing horses before battle. Now he has seen it!

Those damn barbarians each brought one or two horses with them, and the horses were always galloping side by side with the war horses. Seeing that the war horses were tired, the barbarians actually jumped directly on the backs of the galloping horses and jumped to

From the horseback, ride on the slave horse with relatively sufficient physical strength to continue chasing!

Very good, very powerful. It not only greatly saves the time required to change horses, but you don't have to worry even if you encounter odd and even number restrictions.

Li Rui's tongue felt bitter. He and Pei Wei both had only one horse, but those barbarians had two or three horses. They would change horses as soon as they felt the horse was tired, but he and Pei Wei did not have to change!

If this continues, their war horses will be exhausted sooner or later, and he and Pei Wei will also be chopped into pieces by barbarians after losing their horses!
Chapter completed!
