Chapter 226: Reward
Sure enough, after running for more than ten miles, Li Rui and Pei Wei's war horses were already panting, especially Pei Wei's one, with foam coming out of the corners of his mouth. However, the Hu people relied on their own horses to change horses, always keeping their mounts with sufficient physical strength, pulling the distance closer and closer... and getting closer...
Whoosh!
A sharp arrow broke through the air and rubbed against his neck. Although it did not cause any substantial damage, it also scared Li Rui very much. He trembled: "Master Pei Qu, these Hu people are chasing them so fiercely, I am afraid they are coming to our prisoners. Otherwise, we will return the prisoners to them and see if they can stop chasing them!"
Pei Wei was not very happy: "How can that be done? This is an officer, and he can make meritorious service when he takes it back!"
Li Rui shouted: "Our life is almost gone, so why bother to make contributions or not!"
Pei Wei hesitated for a moment and said, "Perseverely hold on and you will arrive at the Divine Village soon!"
Li Rui was about to say that the horse was foaming at all, so how could he persist? He didn't expect the whistling sound of sharp arrows behind him to break through the air, sharp and harsh, scaring him so much that he lay on the saddle, his body trembling involuntarily. Those Hu people were very hateful, and they shot all the arrows. These arrows would make a harsh roar when flying, and those timid people would be scared to death even if they were not shot to death! And Li Rui was now tempting wildly on the edge of being shot to death and being scared to death. The sharp arrows that passed him made his heart twitch, his hands trembled, and he was almost suffocating!
Pei Wei was very calm. He must have experienced this kind of scene a lot and was used to it. He used his bow to pull away two sharp arrows, and with his right hand, he wiped out two sharp arrows into the quiver, one biting in his mouth, the other putting on a string, and his arms screamed. The horse bow was pulled like a full moon, and he shot back with a whoosh arrow!
Behind him, the closest Hu cavalry was less than ten meters away, which was about three positions. The Hu cavalry had shot several arrows in his back, but all of them were blocked by the iron armor. This guy was only concerned about shooting people, and he never expected that Pei Wei would turn around and give him an arrow, and immediately was shot straight. The sharp arrow hit his forehead and entered the skull cavity. He screamed in pain and fell off the horse's back.
This arrow angered the dozens of Hu people. The arrows were immediately fired like rain, and the firepower was concentrated on Pei Wei. In a blink of an eye, this arrogant guy was filled with sharp arrows on his back. Although it was because his iron armor was of excellent quality and the bow power of the Hu horse was too weak, none of them could cause substantial damage to him, but this scene was also very scary. Pei Wei didn't care whether he was captive or not. He shot an arrow at the war horse carrying the Hu officer. The war horse was shot on the neck, neighing and falling to the ground, throwing the Hu officer off his back and falling to the dusty face!
This trick was decisive and effective, and some Hu people immediately stopped to rescue the officer. But that was all because most Hu people were still chasing him back!
Li Rui's tongue was bitter: "Did these Hu people take the wrong medicine? They all returned the prisoners to them, why did they still refuse to forgive me!"
Pei Wei smiled bitterly: "They want our lives, and saving people is just by the way!"
Li Rui was frightened: "What should I do?"
Pei Wei smiled bitterly: "What else can I do? Just run away desperately!"
Li Rui said: "Your horse is foaming at the white spot!"
No, Pei Wei's horse was already covered in white foam, and his hair was wet with sweat, just like the one I just caught out of the water. The horse's physical strength was exhausted and could not hold on. Li Rui's horse was relatively strong, not only tall, but his endurance and explosive power were first-class. Although he was breathing rapidly, he had not reached his limit yet and could still hold on for a long time.
Pei Wei naturally knew that his horse was not in good condition. He murmured and thrust the arrow in his hand on the horse's back. The war horse was in pain and neighed wildly. His already exhausted body squeezed out another force, and ran wildly, and suddenly he threw the Hu people's pursuit for a distance.
At this time, the Hu officer, who had fallen into a blue nose and swollen face, had already been loosened and rode the best horse, chased after him with shouts, and shouted at the Hu people in Hu language. The Hu people seemed to have received some instructions, and they all took the bow and arrow and shot at Pei Wei and Li Rui's war horses!
Li Rui was lucky. The horse was very explosive. He ran hard and threw a wave of borough arrows behind him. He was not hit. Several arrows passed by and were blocked by the felt covered with scratches. Pei Wei was not so lucky. His horse had reached the point where the oil was exhausted. Even if he used the arrow to thrust the horse's back and squeezed out the last trace of physical strength, he could not distance himself from the pursuers. As the arrow roared, his horse was hit one after another. Every time he hit the arrow, the unlucky war horse would neigh and tremble hard. After being hit by more than a dozen arrows, he could not withstand it...
boom!
Li Rui, who was riding a horse, suddenly heard a dull sound. He turned his head and saw Pei Wei's war horse falling down, throwing this unlucky into the dust!
By the way, what time is this unlucky time to fall off a horse today?
Pei Wei was obviously very depressed. Although he jumped out in time when the war horse fell and was not suppressed by the dead horse, he was still angry enough. He roared: "God-killing Mishu, Grandpa fights with you!" He threw down the horse bow and pulled out the ring-headed knife to face the Hu Qi, and his eyes were almost spitting out of fire!
The Hu people shot down his war horse and cheered. Then several cavalrymen rushed forward with their swords and spears, screaming and trying to chop this guy up!
Pei Wei stared at them coldly, and his hand holding the knife trembled slightly. In the bloodthirsty gaze of Hu people, he had already smelled the breath of death. However, his heart was surprisingly calm, or numb. From following the army to escaping from the battlefield alone, it only took two hours. In just these two hours, thousands of lives were gone, and after experiencing too much death, he took it lightly. Living in this chaotic world was just a life-suffering life, and it was better to die than to end it!
However, the lives of the Pei family's children are very valuable. Even if they die, he will have to take a few more culls!
Near, closer...
The Hu people are only five or six feet away from him...
Pei Wei roared in the lungs: "Come on!!!"
The roar of steel overwhelmed the sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air. A sharp arrow whistled over his helmet tassel, and a puffed into the right eye of a Hu man who raised his scimitar to swing it down Pei Wei's neck. The force was extremely strong, and it penetrated through the eyeball and penetrated into the skull cavity for more than half a foot. Then another arrow was another arrow. A Hu man who raised his spear to stab Pei Wei felt a chill of throat. A sharp arrow hit the Adam's apple and penetrated his neck, protruding a bleeding part from the back of his neck. These two arrows came very quickly. The two Hu men fell from the horse's back almost in no order, and they all died with one arrow!
These two arrows really shocked the Hu people. They are all nations on horseback and have always been proud of being good at riding and shooting, but now they seem to have encountered a tough character who is better at riding and shooting than them. The two unlucky guys who were killed by one arrow were not seen, but they could see clearly that the Jin army, who was riding a tall horse, was immediately turned around after seeing their companions falling off the horse, and they didn't even look. Two arrows came over. A distance of about ten feet, they shot down the two warriors who were about to meet Pei Wei in a short order!
This archery technique was really terrifying, which shocked them so much that they forgot what to do for a moment. Even Pei Wei instinctively grabbed a horse with a war horse that had lost his master and turned over the horse, and they didn't react!
Li Rui had already strangled the war horse at this time, turned around and stared at the Hu people coldly, cutting the flesh with aura... Of course, it would be even more perfect if his legs were not trembling. The Hu people were frightened by his archery technique, and they strangled the war horses one after another, and did not dare to step forward for a while. Pei Wei caught up with Li Rui and panted: "Why are you stopping? Waiting to die?"
Li Rui whispered: "There are many ordinary people ahead, who are running away!"
Pei Wei followed his gaze and saw groups of people two or three miles away running towards the mountain, and a little further away, the Jin army camp was already in sight, with the battle flags flying, as if waving to him.
He whispered: "We can surpass these ordinary people by squeezing our horsepower and hide in the camp before the Hu people catch up with us."
Li Rui smiled bitterly: "In this way, these civilians will die."
Pei Wei was suffocated. Of course, he knew that these civilians were dead. They had no horses and were all on foot. There were also many elderly, weak, women and children inside, and they couldn't run fast. The Hu people rode their horses without having to ride horses. They just had to trot and easily catch up with them and slaughter them all. But what's his business? Could this fool have wanted to block dozens of Hu people who are good at riding and shooting with his own strength and save these ordinary people?
He said: "It's all their fault for being unlucky!"
Li Rui shook his head slowly, his voice not high, but he was extremely firm: "That is thousands of lives, not a cluster of ignorant weeds that can be cut by others."
Pei Wei frowned and asked, "Then what do you want to do?"
Li Rui closed his eyes, and the miserable situation of the city being slaughtered after the city of Kinmen City was destroyed. There were tens of thousands of people in the whole city, and even the soldiers guarding the city and the people who failed to escape in time were dead... There were so many people dead. The blood flooded every street and every alley. When he stumbled out of this dead city, blood soaked his ankles. He had no doubt at all that if these Hu people rushed over, none of the people would survive!
These should be the common people of Yiyang County? They had the chance to survive. This mountainous area is still under the control of the Jin army. The Hu people are addicted to galloping and slaughtering in the plains. They are not very interested in this mountainous area. These people quietly fled to the military camp and could escape the pursuit of the Hu people and hide in the military camp alive. But he attracted these Hu people when they were about to go into the mountains...
