Since the attack, Beidi Colonel Lu Qiu and his subordinates have been struggling to survive.

Whether it is a soldier or a war horse, the physical exertion is extremely serious.

Beixi Qingqi, on the other hand, can rely on the support of subsequent troops and horses to continuously take turns to rest.

One goes down and the other goes up.

Facing the pursuit of Beixi Qingqi, Beidi Cavalry was overtaken in just a stick of incense.

A fierce fight broke out between the two sides.

Lu Qiu's legs held the horse's belly tightly, and his hands completely released the reins.

While constantly kicking the horse in the belly, prompting the mount to continue galloping forward, he also saw the opportunity, turned over and shot an arrow.

With his superb archery skills, he directly shot down a Beixi Qingqi behind him.

Among the rebellious troops, the Beixi Qingqi was instantly trampled to pulp by the dense hooves of horses.

"Where's the messenger!"

"Where did the messenger go?"

"Quickly pass on the order. Everyone, rush to the nearest county. If you are separated from the troops, fight your way out of the encirclement on your own!"

Lu Qiu retreated and fired arrows to fight back.

Led by Lu Qiu, the other Beidi cavalry also showed their special skills.

Although the Beidi cavalry had tried their best to resist the pursuit of the Beixi Qingqi, the casualties were still extremely heavy.

After all, as the hunted party, the Beidi cavalry could only turn around and shoot arrows backwards.

As for Beixi Qingqi, their archery skills are not inferior to those of Beidi, and they only need to shoot arrows forward.

Coupled with the momentum of pursuing victory.

The losses on Beidi's side were obviously greater, and the balance of victory was constantly tilting towards the pursuers.

However, as locals, the Beidi cavalry naturally has an advantage, that is, they are familiar with the terrain.

Based on the surrounding landforms, Lu Qiu immediately judged that this place was less than twenty miles away from the nearest Kelan County.

"Hold on, I'm here. As soon as we reach the boundary of Kelan County, our pursuers won't dare to advance any further!"

Just as Lu Qiu was loudly encouraging his morale, he suddenly lost his focus.

He fell directly down the horse's back and hit the ground hard.

This time, Lu Qiu almost fell to death on the spot.

Fortunately, the leather armor he wore had a good cushioning effect. Even so, Lu Qiu's left arm was still broken.

Lu Qiu gritted his teeth and got up from the ground in disgrace.

I thought the mount was hit by the arrows of the pursuers, but when I took a closer look, I found that the mount was not hit by the arrow at all.

But the horse was lying on the ground, refusing to stand up no matter how hard Lu Qiu beat him.

At the same time, white foam continued to spray out from the mouth and nose.

Obviously, after high-intensity running, even the best war horses have reached their limit and were paralyzed on the spot.

"This way, come here!"

Lu Qiu waved his left arm and shouted loudly to his comrades not far away.

When the comrade came to meet him on horseback, he was knocked down by an arrow from the pursuer.

The other Beidi cavalrymen, seeing this, grabbed the reins one after another.

"Captain Lu has landed, go and help!"

"Xu! Fight back!"

"Liang Guo bastard, I will fight with you!"

Dozens of Beidi cavalry rushed back to Lu Qiu's side, but were surrounded by pursuers in the blink of an eye.

The cavalry gathered together, protecting Lu Qiu in the middle, and kept shooting arrows at the Beixi Qingqi who was wandering around the outside.

Beixi Qingqi did not hesitate, forming a dense encirclement, blocking Lu Qiu's retreat, and at the same time carried out a heroic exchange of arrows with Beidi.

In just a few short breaths, more than a dozen of the cavalry around Lu Qiu were shot down.

On the battlefield, the number of soldiers is extremely important.

It's not as simple as one plus one equals two.

With a difference of twice the strength, it will directly form a crushing force.

Five against four, maybe some waste of effort.

Three against two, maybe there can be a stalemate for a while.

But two against one, in most cases, it is a complete victory.

The number of cavalry on Beidi's side was already disproportionate, coupled with continued attrition.

Beixi Qingqi has formed an extremely advantageous situation of four versus one, or even five versus one.

The losses of Beidi's cavalry were getting faster and faster.

In the blink of an eye, only single digits were left among the sixty or seventy cavalrymen.

The remaining Beidi cavalry roared like beasts.

Some people knew that there was no way they could escape, so they simply gave up hiding. They just sat on their horses, constantly stringing their bows and shooting wildly at the pursuers.

Kill one to get enough money, kill two to earn one.

What's more, they directly put down their bows and arrows and pulled out the harness from the horse's back.

Single-handedly, he launched a suicide charge towards the densely packed Beixi Qingqi.

Lu Qiu sat down directly on the ground, pedaling the bow arm with both feet and holding the bow string with his left hand.

When the bow and arrow are drawn into a full circle, the arrow will fly out as soon as the hand is loosened.

Even though his right arm was broken, leaving only one arm, he still shot two Beixi Qingqi in succession.

When the last Beidi cavalryman fell off his horse, Lu Qiu was the only one left at the scene.

Hundreds of Beixi Qingqi were traveling from all directions, but no one was eager to take Lu Qiu's life.

Just because, judging from the way Lu Qiu was dressed, he must be a general.

At this moment, a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, holding a horse spear, rode out and rushed directly in front of Lu Qiu.

The sharp tip of the spear pointed directly at Lu Qiu.

"I am Xu Ping, the cousin of General Xu Mo of Beixi!"

"Who are you? How many official titles are there? Why don't you tell me your name quickly!"

Facing Xu Ping's questioning, Lu Qiu didn't hesitate at all and stepped on the bow arm to load the arrow.

As soon as he showed his threat, Xu Ping pierced his shoulder with a halberd and was nailed to the ground.

Blood spurted out.

Lu Qiu gritted her teeth and remained silent.

Xu Ping's eyes revealed a hint of admiration: "You are quite a man!"

"I should have taken you back to Beixi County and handed you over to the Jinyi Guards for torture."

"But because I want you to be brave and loyal, I will leave you with the most basic dignity."

"Our Beixi soldiers have attacked seven cities in this state!"

"Beidi City has low walls and poor defense equipment. Compared with our Daliang City, it is like window paper, which can be broken with just one poke."

"Before tomorrow, our army will capture this state. You should not engage in any more meaningless battles between trapped beasts."

Lu Qiu's right arm was broken and his left shoulder was pierced. He could no longer hold a weapon.

But when facing Xu Ping, he responded with angry eyes.

scolded.

"Liang Guo has no integrity and actually took advantage of the peace talks to sneak attack on our territory!"

"If our Eagle Brigade and Snow Wolf Brigade are here, you are all pigs and dogs, slaughter them at will!"

Faced with Lu Qiu’s yelling.

Xu Ping's eyes were unwavering: "In terms of dishonesty, compared to you, Beidi, I, Daliang, are at a disadvantage!"

"You were defeated in the war and took the initiative to seek peace, but you have no consciousness of the defeated country. You are arrogant and domineering without any humility."

"If I don't beat you until it hurts or hurts you, how can there be any negotiation!"

"This kind of state affairs cannot be discussed with a military commander like you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Ping pulled out his horse's spear. When he turned around, the cavalry beside him had already shot Lu Qiu into a hedgehog.
