The cavalry led by Cheng Geer rushed fastest in the middle, and they gradually approached Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng obviously didn't expect to be caught up so quickly. He took off his musket from his horse in a panic, turned around and fired at the pursuers.
Xiao Feng's marksmanship is very good. Although the distance is very far, he may not be able to hit the enemy accurately, but he can at least hit the enemy's horse!
Two of the three leading horses were shot. The horses rolled directly to the ground under the high-speed impact. The cavalrymen who were unable to dismount in time were also crushed and disabled at full level.
Cheng Geer relied on his skillful riding skills to control the horse to run a big S and a small S, and successfully dodged the bullet.
But whether it was a big S or a small S, it would affect the man's riding speed. Xiao Feng took the opportunity to distance himself again. After a while, the cavalry led by Cheng Geer gradually caught up.
Xiao Feng turned around and fired again. After firing several shots, he knocked down a few more pursuers and once again opened a little distance.
After several repetitions, Xiao Feng stopped shooting and ran forward.
Cheng Geer saw something white on the grass in front of him. He had superb riding skills. He left the stirrup with one foot on the horse, bent down to fish for the moon in the water, and picked up the thing.
It was furoshiki, and it still smelled of gunpowder. Cheng Geer was overjoyed: "Xiao Feng is out of ammunition, come with me, kill Xiao Feng, and share the wealth!"
Cheng Geer took the lead and led the cavalry in the middle to pursue Xiao Feng. He was getting closer and closer to Xiao Feng. Cheng Geer tried to bend his bow and arrow, and shot Xiao Feng. He almost fell behind the horse.
Xiao Feng also heard the sound of arrows breaking through the wind. In desperation, he raised his musket and aimed back. Cheng Geer was startled and quickly summoned the big S again.
However, Xiao Feng didn't shoot this time, he just scared him, forced him to slow down, then clung to the horse and continued running.
Cheng Geer was furious. Obviously Xiao Feng only had an empty gun left. Since it looked like an empty gun, what use would I have for this big S? Delay things!
Cheng Geer approached again, bent his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot out an arrow. Xiao Feng didn't even look back, but flicked the bow and arrow away with his musket.
Cheng Geer yelled: "Speed up and chase, let's release arrows together!" He also bent his bow and nocked an arrow again.
Xiao Feng became anxious and turned around to raise his gun at Cheng Geer. Cheng Geer was unmoved. He drew the bow like a full moon and fired the arrow like a shooting star. So handsome!
boom! Xiao Feng's gun rang out, and at the same time Cheng Geer's arrow flew in front of Xiao Feng, and was caught by Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng casually threw the musket to the ground, laughed loudly, picked up the whip and spanked the horse's butt twice. The white horse neighed and accelerated again.
The pursuers were startled by the sound of gunshots, and then saw Cheng Geer staggering on his horse, and then fell off the horse. The cavalrymen were stunned and stopped their horses together.
Anda Khan, who was dragging behind, caught up and looked at Cheng Geer who fell dead on the ground and the musket thrown on the grass, his face turned livid.
"What's going on? Cheng Geer has superb riding skills and is alert. How could he be shot?"
The few cavalrymen closest to Cheng Geer told what happened just now, including the baggage skin Cheng Geer found and so on.
An Dahan was shocked, angry and happy. He was shocked that Xiao Feng was so cunning, and angry that his trusted general died tragically. He was happy that Xiao Feng's move must have been prepared for him, but because of his caution, Cheng Ge You have warded off the disaster.
Anda Khan yelled: "Chase me! He has already run two hundred miles. Even if the white horse's slowdown was just an illusion before, his horse must not be able to run fast now!"
Xiao Feng, who could no longer pretend, began to run away at full speed, and the Mongolian cavalry behind him also continued to pursue at full speed. Ada Khan still followed the team.
Because he knew that although Xiao Feng lost his musket, his skills should not be underestimated.
If he takes the lead, if Xiao Fengqing gets desperate and rushes towards him, he might be able to hurt himself before being shot into a hedgehog.
Not to mention that now that he is sure of victory, there is no need to take risks. Even if he is charging on the battlefield, he will try his best to avoid the opponent's most courageous warriors.
Of course the Great Khan should be the bravest, but the Great Khan is also the most noble. Of course, the most dangerous place requires warriors to charge.
Otherwise, you have to work hard before you become a profuse, and you still have to work hard after you become a profuse. Then wouldn’t it be in vain to become a profuse?
The grass is getting taller and taller. Compared with the short grass deep in the prairie, the grass here grows better. This shows that we are almost reaching the realm of Ming Dynasty.
Because the Ming Dynasty prayed for rain successfully, it also rained outside the Great Wall, but the area beyond was not very large. There was no rain in the real depths of the grassland, so there was famine.
The grass here is high enough to achieve the state of "the wind blows the grass and the cows and sheep appear" in the song. An Dahan suddenly felt very emotional.
If the grass in the entire grassland was like that on the border of Daming, there would be no shortage of food in the grassland, and then there would be no need for him to fall out with Xiao Feng so quickly.
Although Xiao Feng is a bastard, he is still a very interesting person, at least much better than Xiao Qin.
If he hadn't wanted to split the grassland, conquer the Loop, and block his own path to hegemony, we could have become friends.
The tall pasture hindered the horses from running, but it was more beneficial to Anda Khan.
Because Mongolian horses are born running on the grasslands, they are less affected by pasture. Although Xiao Feng's white horse is handsome, it is used to running on official roads, and it is obviously more affected by such long grass.
So soon, An Dahan saw Xiao Feng's white horse again in the telescope. It was still running fast, but it was no longer the same as at the beginning.
An Dahan breathed a sigh of relief. Although this place was getting closer and closer to the Ming Dynasty, Xiao Feng would never have the chance to set foot on the Ming Dynasty's land again. He was destined to die on this grassland.
After running for more than thirty miles, the white horse became slower and slower, and the distance between the two sides became closer and closer. Xiao Feng no longer sat upright on the horse's back, but clung to the horse's back.
An Dahan put down the telescope and nodded secretly. Xiao Feng's posture is the most labor-saving way for the horse. Only experienced riders who have been riding horses for many years know this truth.
When a person sits upright, the person is comfortable but the horse is uncomfortable. When a person lies on the back of a horse, the person feels uncomfortable but the horse feels comfortable.
There is no light burden on a long journey. During such a super long-distance high-speed run, any method that makes the horse uncomfortable will waste the horse's energy and slow down the horse.
Xiao Feng threw away the empty gun because of this. Any reduction in weight is crucial for a horse that is exhausted to the limit.
Xiao Feng, you were born and raised in the Central Plains, and you are a scholar, but you can master the tricks of cavalry so quickly. You are indeed a genius.
No wonder Yan Shifan was defeated by you, no wonder Xiao Qin was defeated by you. Given time, maybe I will also be defeated by you.
Unfortunately, you were too impatient and wanted to get rid of the threat to Ming Dynasty as soon as possible, so you made a fatal mistake - to challenge a grassland overlord on the grassland, you still used horse racing.
This is equivalent to competing with Guan Gong for swordsmanship, competing with Liu Bei for crying, competing with Lu Bu for godfather, competing with Cao Cao...
Before he could think of anything to compare with Cao Cao, the white horse in front and the white robe lying on the horse were already visible to the naked eye. Anda Khan deliberately slowed down his speed and ordered the chasing cavalry in front.
"Catch up and shoot!"
Seeing that the white horse in front ran slower and slower, the pursuers on the left and right began to move closer to the center. The three pursuers rushed towards Xiao Feng in front like three greedy snakes.
The distance was getting closer and closer, and arrows were fired at the white horse like locusts. The white horse was hit by an arrow on its buttocks, and it screamed in pain and ran forward, but it was too tired and its speed had reached its limit.
Soon more arrows hit it, and the white robe lying on its back. Blood flowed from the white horse's body, and it ran forward with crooked steps.
Anda Khan, who was at the back of the team, raised his binoculars suspiciously. Why was Xiao Feng still lying on the horse's back and not taking action to block the white horse's arrow? An arrow has already hit the white robe...
An Dahan was suddenly startled and reined in his horse. Then he saw a man standing in the tall grass.
He was dressed in green clothes, but the white robe was gone. He held a gun in his hand, raised it and pointed it at himself.
Because of the telescope, the gun in Xiao Feng's hand seemed to be almost pressed against his forehead. An Dahan screamed and dropped the telescope.
It wasn't that close, but it was indeed very close. There was only twenty steps at most between the two of them. If he hadn't reined in his horse just now, the gun would have been pressed against his head now.
The pursuers in front were still chasing the white horse and shooting arrows. The huge reward made them tremble with excitement, their eyes were red, and they didn't notice what happened behind them for a while.
Time seemed to have stopped. An Dahan stared blankly at the horse hoof prints and soil on Xiao Feng's body, and suddenly asked an inexplicable question.
"Stepped on?"
Xiao Feng smiled: "Although I tried to hide as far as possible, the formation of your pursuers kept changing, and I was stepped on by a guy who was eager to take credit while overtaking from the side.
Fortunately, he didn't notice me in the pasture, otherwise he might have spotted me if he looked down. But with such a large bounty in front of him, he would just think that the horse had stepped on a dirt bag. "
An Dahan held the reins tightly in his hands and gently rubbed the horse with his toes. The war horse that had been following him for many years immediately understood what he meant and began to retreat backwards in an extremely concealed manner.
Xiao Feng sighed, took aim with his gun, and strode forward in the waist-deep grass. At this time, the three greedy snakes in front had been taken far away by the bloody white horse.
"Don't think about it. At this distance, I can hit you with my eyes closed, or at least hit your horse. From the moment I saw you following behind, I have been waiting for the grass to be long enough. ”
An Dahan didn't dare to move anymore: "You hid this gun under the horse's belly from the beginning, right? You took the other one to show me on purpose, so as not to make me suspicious."
Xiao Feng nodded: "I was chased by a hundred cavalry without even holding a musket. Even if you think about it, you wouldn't believe it.
It's better to take one generously and throw it away. You will be more likely to believe that I have no gun. "
An Dahan smiled bitterly and said: "You don't hesitate to use the white horse as bait, but have you ever thought that even if you kill me, you won't be able to escape.
If you don't even have a horse, those pursuers will shoot you like a hedgehog, and it will be useless no matter how high your kung fu is. Might as well make a deal between us.
If you don't kill me, I won't kill you, but you have to admit defeat and stop meddling in things on the grassland. How about that? "
Xiao Feng sighed deeply: "Dear Khan, to this day, neither of us can trust the other.
I bet when your pursuers come back, the first thing you do is kill me. Only if you die, I still have a chance to live. "
Ada Khan looked at Xiao Feng's slightly narrowed eyes and knew that he was about to shoot. He roared and hit the horse's ribs hard with his boot.
The war horse, which had been on the battlefield for a long time and was dependent on life and death, said nothing and rushed out diagonally as fast as possible, running an extremely weird route in an instant!
The movement was so fast, the running route was so weird, and he was ten steps away in the blink of an eye.
As long as Xiao Feng misses the first shot and tries to reload the second shot, he will be far away and will never have a chance again.
Xiao Feng's gun barrel moved slowly along with the running of An Dahan's horse, and then he pulled the trigger.
"boom"! The war horse staggered, rolled and fell to the ground.
Anda Khan's movements were extremely agile. His feet had already taken off the stirrups. Taking advantage of the moment when the horse was leaning but not falling, he jumped up and rolled to the ground.
The sound of gunfire alerted the cavalrymen who were pursuing them in the distance. The more alert ones among them looked back.
It was far away and couldn't be seen clearly, but half of the loyal cavalry still gave up on the bloody bounty in front of them, turned around and started running back.
Anda Khan broke a leg when he landed, but he was not hit by a musket.
Because this war horse was too smart and ran a good route, Xiao Feng did not take the risk of hitting him, but hit the horse.
When An Dahan turned over and jumped up, raising the long knife, Xiao Feng was already standing in front of him, throwing the musket on the ground with his left hand and holding the Xiuchun knife in his right hand, with a look of sadness on his face.
"Khan, if your kung fu is good enough and you can hold on until your cavalry comes back, you will win."
An Dahan gritted his teeth, raised his long knife high, let out a heart-rending roar, and rushed towards Xiao Feng. Xiao Feng bent down and rushed towards An Dahan quickly and without mercy.
When some of the cavalry came back first, they only saw a pool of blood in the grass and Ada Khan's body lying in the pool of blood. Xiao Feng was nowhere to be found.
Looking around, waist-deep pastures were swaying in the breeze, rising and falling, all green, reaching to the sky. No one could be seen hiding anywhere.
These cavalrymen were furious, charging around on their horses, wielding steel knives to cut down the grass.
Pieces of pasture have been cut off, but in this vast grassland, trying to find a person hiding in the grass is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
When the remaining cavalry finally shot down the white horse and found that there was only a white robe tied to a scabbard on the white horse's back, they immediately knew they had been deceived and turned around and ran back.
Because several were killed by Xiao Feng on the road, the less than a hundred cavalry fell into deep silence after a brief period of rage and grief.
"What should we do? Should we continue to search for Xiao Feng here? Or... go back with Da Khan's body?"
"Even if we can find Xiao Feng, his kung fu is so high, can we kill him? In such a short time, the Great Khan was killed. The Great Khan is a famous warrior!"
"Even if we kill Xiao Feng and the Great Khan is dead, no one will reward us. Will those tribal leaders fall out and join the Ming army and kill us instead?"
"If we go back with the body of the Great Khan, what will happen to the tribal leaders? There are tribal leaders who are loyal to the Great Khan, but if the Great Khan dies, will they change their minds?"
"I don't think that's the problem. It's about who wins this bet. Everyone has sworn that whoever wins will listen to whoever wins!"
"But Xiao Feng didn't return to Datong. His horse died, and so did Da Khan's horse. He must be hiding nearby and can't run far.
So we didn’t lose! As long as Xiao Feng is killed, we will still win! The bet didn't say that the Khan needed to kill Xiao Feng with his own hands! "
"But what if we win? The result of winning the bet is that Ming Dynasty will no longer care about the things on the grassland.
The Great Khan is dead, and a new Great Khan will surely emerge from other powerful tribes! How we attacked other tribes before, they will attack us! "
"And there is so little food this year. Daming really no longer cares about the grassland. Can the new Khan lead us to defeat Daming and get food?"
Everyone was talking about it, and they couldn't agree on what they were talking about. Suddenly, a long and terrifying roar came from the distance. Several cavalrymen jumped up immediately.
"Wolves, they are wolves. This grassland is a place where wolves roam. Otherwise, why would no one come to graze in such a good grassland."
"Yes, this pasture is a wild wolf pen. When the wild wolves were at their peak, the cattle and sheep of several tribes were washed with blood. We even sent cavalry to fight the wolves."
"I remember that my father died in that battle against wolves. There were too many wolves and they were too ferocious.
After that hunting, the wolf pack became smaller and the range of activities became smaller, but no one dared to come to this pasture. "
"It's getting dark. After the sun sets, even the cavalry won't dare to confront the wild wolves. Wolves have night eyes..."
The cavalry were silent, and one of them with the highest authority suddenly spoke loudly.
"No matter what, Xiao Feng is the enemy who killed the Great Khan. If we can meet him, we must kill him to avenge the Great Khan!
But our top priority now is to bring the Great Khan's body back to the tribe and let the Great Khan's son inherit the throne as soon as possible.
It would be best if other tribes can continue to support us. If they cannot, at least we will have a Khan and we will not be divided! "
The other cavalrymen breathed a sigh of relief and responded one after another.
"Yes, let's go back now. There are wolves in this grassland, and Xiao Feng has lost his horse. We can't find him, but the wolves can find him!"
"Yes, if the wolves hadn't made such a fuss and eaten Xiao Feng, he wouldn't have been able to return to Datong. In that case, even though Da Khan died, we still won the bet!"
So a group of people carried Ada Khan's body on their backs, shouted the slogan "Xiao Feng must be killed", and left on horseback with deep thoughts.
When they walked far away, Xiao Feng stood up in the grass dozens of steps away, looking at the endless grassland with a wry smile.
"I don't really need to walk all the way back to Datong from here. There are still hundreds of miles. If it is really deserted, I will die of hunger or thirst.
These guys said there are wild wolves in this grassland? I won’t carry it so hard, let me run into it..."
Xiao Feng carried the knife and gun and walked forward for a while. He saw the white horse lying on the ground. It was covered in blood. It had been shot by an arrow and turned into a hedgehog. It had expired.
Xiao Feng sat down, touched Baima's head, and gently closed Baima's wide eyes.
"You are a good horse, and I hope to take you back to Datong. But you can't outrun them, and there's nothing I can do."
Both of us will die if we are caught up. In this case, I can only strike first.
Anda Khan will not give up his position as the overlord of the grassland unless he dies. I don’t want all the tribes on the grassland to fight for a long time and die together.
What the Ming Dynasty wants is a peaceful and stable grassland, not a deserted grassland filled with mountains of corpses and seas of blood. This can only be achieved by taking risks.
A general will inevitably die on the battlefield. The grassland is the best destination for a horse. It is better than dying in the stables of Xiao Mansion. "
Xiao Feng muttered for a while, and seeing that the horse's eyes did not open, he assumed that it agreed with his words, stood up and continued to move forward.
The sky is blue and the clouds are white, the grass is long and the wind is gentle. The grassland is like an endless green sea, and he is like a lonely boat in this sea, but he doesn't know where the shore is.
