Chapter 264 Counterattack

"Count the casualties immediately."

Shen Yu took off her helmet and dismounted to check Ben Xiao's injuries.

I was cut in the battle before, but luckily I was wearing iron armor and my trousers was damaged, but everything else is fine.

This night attack was really beautiful. Fortunately, they responded in time. The daytime attack was followed by night attacks, which gave the Xijue people no time to consider and change their battle plan.

Xiao Chuan ran over through the snow and gasped: "When they escaped, they let go of the horses in the stables and burned the grain and grass, but they were not burned out yet. I sent people to transport them back."

Shen Yu looked at the direction in which the Xijue people were escaping and thought for a while, then said: "You immediately count the casualties. We will continue to lead the troops to pursue them. They can't run far. We will capture ten people alive to lead the way. We will ask separately who told the retreat route that is inconsistent with the others." Just cut one of them and let me see who dares to lie.

"Also." Shen Yu quickly made arrangements: "Let Cao Guang come in to clean the battlefield, and let people keep an eye on him to prevent him from enriching his own pockets. Each person will prepare dry food for five days. We will set off in an hour. We have to march in a hurry. ”

…

The clouds were low before it started to snow.

Behind Beirong were the Qingyun Guards in black armor, chasing them closely.

They fled east and west, constantly changing the direction of their escape. It seemed chaotic, but in fact they would make adjustments every time the route deviated, and they were always moving in the same direction.

Their soldiers have already been ambushed there, and they only need to lead about 10,000 Qingyun Guards behind them into the ambush to eat this wave.

The casualties of 10,000 people are a huge loss of vitality for either side, which is equivalent to breaking through the stalemate and gaining an advantage.

Huyantuo stared straight ahead. Above their heads were several soaring falcons.

"We're almost there," said the general on the side.

Huyantuo glanced back on his horse, and then looked ahead where the snow and sky met. The arrows behind him fell into the snow.

Huyantuo's ears were filled with the sound of his own breathing, and the war horse was panting from exhaustion.

"Right in front." Huyantuo said, pointing ahead.

As they got closer and closer to the place where they ambush, the pursuers behind them suddenly stopped.

Huyantuo gradually realized something was wrong, and he smelled the smell of blood carried by the wind.

"Stop!" Huyantuo suddenly reined in his horse, and the falcon fell from the sky, staring sharply ahead.

He blew a long whistle, and the falcon reluctantly took off at the command. However, before it could fly high into the sky, a sea turtle suddenly swooped down from the clouds, grabbed a falcon in the air and tore it violently.

The hunting falcon let out a shrill scream. Three hunting falcons and a sea turtle fought together in the air, and their feathers fluttered down from the sky.

"Retreat!" Huyantuo shouted, "Retreat toward the northwest!"

He had already seen that it was Xie Tingzhou's Hai Dongqing. No one's falcon could surpass it and become the overlord of the sky.

Xie Tingzhou's Haidongqing appeared in front, but there was no movement in the ambush place ahead, which only meant that there was something wrong with their tactics.

Maybe they were wiped out, maybe they had escaped.

And there is only one way he can go now, which is to escape towards the northwest.

At the same time, the falcon named Agu had half of its wings torn off by Bai Yu. It could not maintain its balance in the air and fell into the snow.

Huyantuo ran forward desperately. In the cold wind and sweat, he thought about what went wrong. Was there a traitor among them?

The Beirong people fled to the northwest during the attack.

Huh-huh-

Huyantuo gasped, but the cavalry in front suddenly reined in their horses. The cavalry behind them had no time to stop and almost collided with each other.

Xie Tingzhou sat on the horse. He didn't look like he was here to fight. He was not wearing armor, his cuffs were neatly tied up, and the hem of his clothes and high-bundled hair were blown by the wind.

Behind him is Qingyun Wei, who is quiet, silent, and ready to go.

When their eyes met, there seemed to be firelight flickering.

At this moment, Huyantuo finally knew where the problem was.

Xie Tingzhou didn't know where he was ambushing, but Huyantuo's behavior told him. His countless changes of direction just pointed the direction to Xie Tingzhou.

Hu Yantuo didn't choose to come here by himself, but Xie Tingzhou made him choose this place.

Xie Tingzhou only had to ask people to block other directions, and Hu Yantuo would definitely hit his knife edge.

Hu Yantuo held the knife on his waist and stared at Xie Tingzhou, "I didn't expect you to go to the battlefield in person. Can you still afford the weapon?"

Xie Tingzhou slowly pulled out the sword that had not seen blood for a long time.

"Don't bother, maybe you don't know." The sword blade made a sound as it rubbed in the scabbard.

Xie Tingzhou said with a smile in this voice: "It has wanted to drink your blood for a long time."

The Qingyun Guard was like a huge black rock, colliding hard with the Beirong army in the vast snow.

In an instant, the sound of killing broke out in the sky and the earth.

Hu Yantuo's opponent is Xie Tingzhou.

When the weapons met, he realized that he had underestimated the enemy.

He is Xie Tingzhou, the one who can still chase him for more than a hundred miles even after being seriously injured.

But he also discovered Xie Tingzhou's shortcomings in his moves.

Xie Tingzhou was weak inside and could not hold on for long.

Huyantuo saw it.

The scimitar cut across and blocked Xie Tingzhou's sword. He smiled evilly on the horse and suddenly turned the horse's head in another direction.

Xie Tingzhou followed closely behind, riding against the wind and chasing after him.

Xie Tingzhou lay on the horse's back, staring at the back of the horse in front of him. He had thrown away the cloak that was in the way, and the corner of the clothes was blown to the back by the wind.

He wanted to kill Huyantuo.

Whether it was for the war situation or because Huyantuo had verbally insulted Shen Yu, he would not let this man go.

The wind whistled in his ears, and Xie Tingzhou raised the bow hanging on the side of the horse's back and aimed it at the back of the person in front.

Huyantuo was sweating from running, and he could hear the hooves of the horse chasing him behind him.

He was riding the best warhorse of Beirong, but he couldn't pull away at all. He knew that Xie Tingzhou had been poisoned, and his body couldn't support long-term running. As long as he delayed time, he would be the winner in the end.

There is no need to worry about running out of firewood. Huyantuo thought that Xie Tingzhou obviously didn't understand this truth. Xie Tingzhou dared to leave the army and chase him. He wanted to drag Xie Tingzhou to death.

Swish——

The arrow passed through the wind and made a sound of breaking through the air.

Huyantuo pulled the reins, the horse deviated a little, and the arrow missed.

Huyantuo was secretly delighted, and another arrow came one after another. He only had time to tilt his body, and the arrow brushed his arm and shot past, leaving a streak of blood on his arm.

"Fuck!" Huyantuo cursed.

He pulled the reins hard, and the horse's head suddenly turned in another direction.

He slowed down, and when Xie Tingzhou approached, he pushed the horse's back and rushed towards Xie Tingzhou.

The horse's hooves stepped over the ice of Shima River.

A sudden palpitation came over Shen Yu, and she suddenly pulled the reins.

"Princess?" Xiao Chuan turned the horse's head and circled back, "What's wrong?"

Shen Yu looked back to the north, and was stunned for a long time in the intense palpitations and vague uneasiness, then shook her head and said, "It's okay, let's keep going."
