It was still dark at the moment, but it wasn't so dark that you couldn't see your fingers. You could vaguely see people.
Seeing the situation behind him clearly, his eyes widened to their maximum size, Huh?
Where are people?
He was only surprised for a second before a bold guess came to his mind. He suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and shouted: "Stop! Stop! The enemy seems to have fallen into the river!"
As soon as these words came out, the panting patrolman stopped instantly.
ah?
"They really fell into the river. Everyone, hurry up and don't let them climb ashore!"
Chang Wuchang continued to yell.
Although he couldn't see clearly, Ha Keku, who was rushing at the front, disappeared. The enemy's murderous hoofbeats were replaced by the panicked neighing of horses and the barbarian's cry for help. This showed that the ice was really broken!
"Quick! Don't let the enemy come ashore! And hurry back and report the news, so that the brothers in the city can hurry up!"
He rushed back first.
When a group of patrols saw this, they also grabbed the spears in their hands and ran back quickly.
The barbarians are all cavalry, so the patrols are not only equipped with broadswords at their waists, but also long spears to deal with the barbarians on horseback.
When Chang Wuchang and the patrol ran back to the shore, they clearly saw the struggling Hu man in the river. Chang Wuchang grabbed the spear of the soldier beside him and stabbed a Hu man who was about to struggle ashore.
The Hu man who was coming ashore was Ha Keku.
When he fell into the river, he was less than ten meters away from the shore. After panicking, he quickly swam to the shore.
However, when he noticed the chaotic footsteps on the shore, he quickly looked up.
When he raised his head, he found that it was his old rival Chang Wuchang. He quickly stepped back, narrowly avoiding the cold tip of the spear in Chang Wuchang's hand. The tip only cut a line of blood on his face, but failed to give him a fatal blow. hit.
Chang Wuchang also recognized Ha Keku at this time, and he couldn't help laughing because of the unprecedented joy. At this time, Ha Keku had already left the attack range of his spear. Therefore, after a few seconds, he fixed his gaze and turned to the right. Taking a big step, he swung out the spear in his hand and accurately pierced the temple of the barbarian who was about to climb ashore.
With a scream, the Hu man was killed on the spot.
He snorted coldly and carefully looked at the scene in front of him.
This section of the river was filled with densely packed foreigners and horses. The ice in this section of the river completely broke. None of the foreigners on the ice escaped at that time, and they all fell into the river.
As for the east and west directions, he could not see clearly in the vast darkness of night, but the ice was broken wherever he could see, and foreigners and horses were flooded inside.
As for the other side of the river, he couldn't see clearly, but hearing the shrill cries of the horses on the other side, he knew that the other side was in a mess.
Thinking about it, the ice was very thick this season, and the Hu people's horses were still having fun on it a few days ago. Who would have thought that just four or five days later, the ice would suddenly crack.
Especially the opponent's momentum is like a rainbow. When going down the slope, he is like a hungry tiger pouncing on food, intent on crossing the river and killing.
Now the ice suddenly broke, and all the people in front fell into the river. If it were him, ah no, bah! The soldiers of Dasheng would not be so unlucky!
Hehe, God help him!
His prayer worked!
Just now, he felt the enemy's fierce murderous intent across the river. The sound of fierce horse hooves made him feel as heavy as if they were directly stepping on him, but he didn't expect the ice to break!
The road is full of twists and turns!
He couldn't help but grinned widely, and stabbed out the spear in his hand again. God-given opportunity, he would lead the brothers to accomplish a great feat today!
"Brothers, don't let the barbarians come ashore!"
he yelled.
The Hulu River is more than four meters deep, and the weather is cold in winter. Even if the barbarians know how to swim, the river is 40 meters wide. Those who are close to the shore can climb ashore, but those in the middle of the river will not be able to climb ashore easily. .
The other soldiers were as happy as if the four happy events in life had come together. They grabbed the spears in their hands and stabbed the people in the river.
As long as the spear is within reach, it will stab everyone, regardless of whether they climbed to the shore or not.
After the Hu people on the other side of the river experienced panic, a few of them walked east and west, hoping to avoid the ice-broken section of the river and continue into Dasheng territory.
Li Qiao, who was standing at the gate of the city, asked Chang Wuchang's soldiers to rush to the shore to meet Chang Wuchang. The dozen or so soldiers did not delay and ran back immediately, fearing that they would run too slow and miss the misery of the barbarians.
Li Qiao took off his cloak, threw it to a member of the Guards, and then said, "I'll go over and have a look too."
"……master!"
"……grown ups!"
Li Man and the other members of the Guards were all shocked.
Deputy Commander Wu, who was yelling and urging the soldiers to leave the city quickly, was also stunned. What?
"The barbarians fell into the river, so they are not a big threat. Besides, didn't you protect me? However, I see that your physical strength is not as good as mine. When I ran back from the shore, I didn't even breathe much, but you did. It’s awesome.”
Li Qiao said and pointed casually at the group of people surrounding him.
This bunch of people: "..."
He was despised by Mr. Li, a weak scholar...
Li Qiao took advantage of their stunned moment and immediately walked to the shore: "Follow me, protect me, and beat anyone who advises me."
He must go to the shore.
Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy was in the water at the moment, he could take advantage of the chaos and kill a few more people.
Moreover, the range that his water droplets can reach is only four miles in radius, and can only reach four miles at most, so the number of enemies that can be killed by the ice breaking just now is limited.
If the barbarians bypass this section of the ice and rush over, Dasheng's soldiers will still have to confront them.
No matter how many he can kill, today he will be a reckless person who will cause chaos to Chang Wuchang.
Li Qiao made up his mind to walk to the shore. Upon seeing this, a group of people rushed to stop him, including Deputy Commander Wu.
As a last resort, he could only grab Deputy Commander Wu by his collar and throw him more than three meters away.
Now Li Man, the others, and the members of the Guards did not dare to persuade him.
With his skills, if he meets a barbarian, he will most likely beat him up.
Besides, all the barbarians are in the river at the moment, and there are more than fifty people on their side. If there is really a danger, Mr. Li/Master must be faster than them.
Thinking of this, they could only follow Li Qiao and run back.
By the time Li Qiao came to the river, it was already a bit dark.
The barbarians in the river were in dire straits at the moment, and some barbarians who didn't know how to swim had already sunk.
Some people who know how to swim are swimming towards their own shore.
The coldness of the river water made them somewhat unconscious. They did not know that water droplets the size of rice grains were cutting their skin.
Blood gushes out quickly, and their strength quickly disappears due to the biting ice water + water-stained heavy clothes + wounds.
Before they could swim to the shore, people kept sinking to the bottom of the river.
However, just as Li Qiao thought, only the barbarians who were at the front fell into the water. There were about a thousand people, and some of them had climbed to the other side.
Chang Wuchang was stamping his feet, cursing in his mouth: "Damn it, I really let this little son of a bitch run away today!"
Hearing this, Li Qiao immediately followed his line of sight and looked over.
He has good eyesight, and what others can't see clearly, he can see clearly through the dim light.
He didn't know who Chang Wuchang was talking about, but when he glanced around, he saw a man with broad and strong shoulders like Chang Wuchang, struggling to push away the horse in front of him and swim to the other side.
He narrowed his eyes. Chang Wuchang told him about the Hu man. Judging from his physique, he seemed to be Hakeku.
The next second, a drop of water rushed towards Hakku.
A moment later, Hakku's body suddenly froze. He struggled violently several times, but his body still slowly sank into the water.
Chang Wuchang: "..."
He stared at the blurry figure in the distance in disbelief. Although it was dark, he kept staring at Hakku, so he could clearly see the scene of Hakku sinking into the water.
After being stunned for more than ten seconds, he burst into laughter, God opened his eyes!
It must be that when Hakeku's limbs were struggling in the water, he happened to hit the weapon or sharp ice cube that the Hu man himself had dropped into the river. As a result, his body was injured, and due to exhaustion, he sank into the river.
Hey!
Evil will be punished!
He was so happy that he subconsciously talked to the soldiers around him, wanting to share this great news.
But out of the corner of his vision, he caught sight of a familiar figure, and the smile on his face froze.
"Brother Li? Why are you back again?!" He jumped up instantly.
Chapter 241 The Hu people’s 200,000 cavalry
"Don't worry, Mr. Chang. Since I have encountered such a happy event like God's help when a barbarian fell into the river through the ice, I must see it with my own eyes. Otherwise, how can I report it to the Holy Father after I return to Beijing?"
Li Qiao replied calmly and confidently.
"...Now that you've seen it, go back to the city!"
After a moment of silence, Chang Wuchang said anxiously.
"I have to take a few more glances. For such a happy event, the Holy One will inevitably ask for details. If I only glance at it a few times and then reply, I will probably hesitate when I reply to the Holy One. How can this be done?"
Li Qiao was still confident.
Chang Wuchang: "..."
He's going to be angry.
Although this sounds reasonable, it is also too willful.
Reporting to the Holy Spirit is naturally important, but compared with Li Qiao’s life, it’s nothing!
The bodyguards Li Qiao brought with him were the same type of bodyguards as those of the prince. His daily job was to write for the Holy Emperor. Although he was not a highly respected minister, he was treated like half a prince.
If something happened to Li Qiao in the border town, his guilt would be no less than that of being driven straight into Shengjing by the barbarians from the border town!
What's more, Li Qiao had to find a job for his disabled brother. Li Qiao also supported the charity hall and school. He also invented mortar. Li Qiao did countless good things that were beneficial to Dasheng and the people. !
