Before he even stepped onto the ice, the sound of horse hooves could be heard from the other side of the river. Even though it was four miles away, it was still like thunder.
Hearing this movement, one could tell that a big wave of barbarians was coming.
Before he could remind Chang Wuchang, the soldiers on the other side of the river lit a bonfire. Obviously, the thunderous sound of horse hooves had been heard by the patrols on the shore.
very good.
Quite alert.
There was no panic on his face at this time, he just ran back following Chang Wuchang's strength.
high speed.
Chang Wucheng was like this and no longer shouted for Li Man and others to carry him. At his speed, he would definitely be able to run back to the city before the barbarians came.
As Chang Wuchang ran back, he turned to look at the bonfire on the bank of the river. At this time, the bonfire turned from a small fire into a large one. The flames shot into the sky and tore apart the night.
This means that a large army of Hu people has arrived.
He couldn't help but scold his mother. He didn't know how many brothers would be killed or injured today!
He gritted his teeth and ordered a dozen of his own soldiers: "Send Mr. Li back to the city. I will lead the brothers patrolling outside to give him a head first!"
He has always been on the front line, and there are hundreds of soldiers patrolling outside the city. The deputy general on duty at the city gate will definitely send people out of the city after seeing the fire on the other side of the river.
Concentrate manpower to contain the Hu people in the Hulu River. In this way, the battlefield will be on both sides of the Hulu River and will not affect the border towns.
If the barbarians are allowed to rush to the city, it will be troublesome if the barbarians bypass the city gate and climb over the wall at other locations to enter the city.
He just likes to confront the barbarians head-on and fight to the death.
Li Qiao knew Chang Wuchang's arrangement. He quickly crossed the ditch and turned to look back.
He had to confirm that the patrol soldiers on the other side of the river had arrived at Dasheng before he could break the ice in the river.
"Master, don't look back, run!"
Li Man, who was following him, suddenly became anxious when he saw that he still had the time to look back.
"It's okay, the barbarians are still far away. Besides, even if the barbarians are really standing in front of me, there's no telling who will kill whom."
Li Qiao said loudly.
Li Man and others: "..."
Fifty members of the Guards: "..."
This is true.
The world didn't know what role Li Qiao played in the fifth prince's rebellion, but they knew it.
Combined with Li Qiao's sharpness in beating Lu Wenrong, Song Shitou and others before, if a barbarian full of evil spirits really stood in front of Li Qiao, then Li Qiao might really be able to fight back.
However, Chang Wuchang's soldiers were very anxious when they heard this. The soldier surnamed Han said: "Master Li, the Hu people are very fierce. You should use all your strength to return to the city."
"Since the barbarians are fierce, you should go back and protect General Chang. I will definitely be able to return to the city and I don't need your protection."
"Please forgive me, Mr. Li. My humble duty is to escort you back to the city!"
The soldier surnamed Han answered without any hesitation.
A good official like Mr. Li is very important to Dasheng, so nothing can happen to him!
Hearing this, Li Qiao turned around and looked behind him. The patrols on the other side of the river were crossing the river quickly.
At this time, the sound of the Hu people's hoofbeats was getting closer and closer, and even people like Li Man heard it.
The barbarians came so quickly!
Their expressions changed greatly. Hulu River was only three miles away from the border town, but every few meters there were trenches more than two meters wide and five or six meters deep, which greatly hindered their speed.
The barbarians are coming so fast, can they return to the city before the barbarians arrive? !
"Don't worry, the barbarians have to cross these ditches if they want to kill me." Li Qiao knew what they were thinking with a casual glance, and comforted them.
Li Man and others: "..."
Although speechless, it seems to be the truth...
Forget it, keep your head down and run away!
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and the strange howl of the barbarian people also penetrated Li Qiao's ears in the early morning wind. He raised his eyes and looked at the north gate of the border town.
The north gate has been opened, and two rows of soldiers wearing armor and holding weapons are quickly leaving the city. At this time, he is still half way from the north gate.
He did not slow down and continued to cross the trench quickly.
About three minutes later, he arrived at the city gate.
The soldiers in the city are still leaving the city. If the barbarians come, Dasheng will definitely have a lot of manpower.
Moreover, Deputy General Wu, one of the six deputy generals on duty today, was already standing at the city gate to meet him.
Li Man and others didn't care about breathing, and hugged him and were about to enter the city, but at this moment, there was a noise behind them.
He hurriedly stopped and looked back.
The noise was so loud that Li Man and others, including Deputy Commander Wu, couldn't help but look forward.
At this time, a soldier with a red scarf on his head was standing dozens of meters away, shouting at the city gate: "The ice has broken and the barbarians have fallen into the river. Brothers, hurry up and don't let the barbarians come ashore!" "
"!"
Li Qiao breathed a sigh of relief.
He secretly controlled the ten water drops and continued to move in the east and west directions so that the ice would break into a wider area.
Li Man and others were stunned. Did the ice break?
Deputy Commander Wu quickly came to his senses. He didn't even bother to let Li Qiao return to the city. He whipped out his saber and asked the soldiers to rush. The Hu man actually fell into the river. This was a scene that had not happened for several years. ah!
Many soldiers were also excited by the news and screamed. They rushed to the river with all their strength. God opened their eyes!
They finally have the upper hand!
Chapter 240 Killing the Huren
After Chang Wuchang confirmed that Li Qiao could run faster than a group of guards, he quickly returned to the river and shouted at the patrol soldiers on the other side of the river to come back quickly.
After lighting the bonfire, the patrol soldiers on the other side of the river also ran in the direction of the border town.
The Hu people were very fast. What followed the slope was not a continuous slope but a flat grassland. Therefore, the patrolling soldiers used all their strength to run back as hard as they could.
Patrolling soldiers far away in the east and west directions quickly crossed the river and returned to the city after seeing the flames tearing through the night.
The feet on the thick ice were a little slippery, but their boots were specially made with non-slip soles, so as long as they were careful, they would not slip.
They were running too fast, their hearts were beating violently, and the wind was still whistling in their ears, so they did not hear the obvious cracking sound of the ice behind them.
When these patrols ran to the other side of the river and came behind Chang Wuchang, they took a deep breath and turned their heads, preparing to meet the enemy that was about to come.
The same is true of impermanence.
He held a sharp Mo Dao in his hand, and stared at the other side of the river with a pair of big copper bell eyes like an eagle.
Not long after, accompanied by the sound of horse hooves like beating drums, a sturdy figure of the Hu appeared on the other side of the river.
The heavy cavalry rushed down the hillside in the light of the fire, and arrived at the foot of the hillside in an instant. The leader held the reins firmly and rushed straight towards the fire.
He casually picked the big knife on the fire and stirred up the burning wood.
The group of people following him immediately burst into strange laughter, tightened their grip on the reins, and urged the horses to run faster.
The horse stepped onto the ice. Chang Wuchang immediately grabbed the Mo Dao in his hand and stared at the leader.
Through the light of the fire, he could clearly see the figure of the leader, who was as strong as himself. This man was the first warrior of the Bershuote tribe of the Hu people. His name was Hakeku, and he was the younger brother of the great Khan of the tribe. He is also born with divine power, and he has fought against him several times in the past few years.
If he fights alone, he can beat this Hakku, but it will take time.
The last time this Hakku appeared was on the night of New Year's Eve. Both he and the other party knew that neither could do anything to the other at that moment, so they did not confront each other.
He slaughtered more than 200 Hu people, and this Ha Keku also took away the lives of more than 100 Da Sheng soldiers.
This person is here again today!
He gritted his teeth and glared at Hakku several times, and then looked at the cavalry behind Hakku who were rushing down the slope like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
He shouted without hesitation: "Back off! Back off first!"
The Hu people's iron cavalry came fiercely, and the number of people on his side far exceeded that of the people on his side, but the soldiers in the city had to cross the ditch to reach the shore.
If he was entangled by Ha Keku, the patrols on his side would probably be slaughtered by the barbarians.
Chang Wuchang gave an order, and more than a hundred patrol soldiers who had gathered around him rushed to the trench behind him.
At this time, Hakku had already run to the river. He saw Dasheng's soldiers retreating by the light of the torches held by the patrolmen on Dasheng's side. He couldn't help laughing and waved the sword in his hand fiercely in the air several times.
Grandma is very tall, so when a spy came to report, the emperor of Dasheng rewarded the soldiers at the border with thousands of pigs, thousands of sheep, and tens of thousands of chickens. Dasheng is really rich!
Who can bear this?
Anyway, sooner or later there will be a decisive battle with Dasheng. In this case, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity of Emperor Dasheng to reward the meat and stimulate the warriors of the tribe.
Rather than starving to death, it is better to die on the battlefield of grabbing meat and food after a full meal!
Thinking of the rich supplies in the border town, Hakku's heart was filled with excitement. Since the war started, the smuggling routes between the civilian barbarians and Da Sheng have been almost completely cut off. Even though he is the younger brother of the great Khan of the Bershuot tribe, many supplies have also been cut off. Offered.
Today, the five tribes on the grassland will attack together, and Dasheng's border city will be destroyed!
All supplies in the city belong to them!
While he was imagining the fun situation of being able to plunder everywhere after the city was broken, he didn't notice the obvious crackling sound of the ice. He clamped the horse's belly tightly and was about to urge the horse to go faster, but the next moment, as There was a sound of ice breaking, and the horse immediately fell into the river. Before he could scream, his body also fell into the river.
The water in the river was freezing cold and instantly submerged the top of his head. He struggled violently, trying to surface.
He knows how to swim.
But the heavy fur coat on his body became as heavy as a thousand kilograms after being stained with water, and behind him, one horse after another fell into the river with a plop.
The warriors behind him were caught off guard and were submerged in the river.
Chang Wuchang, who was running forward, suddenly heard the heart-wrenching neighing of the horse behind him, and couldn't help but turn his head and look back while running.
