"My boss, three hundred cavalry is a bit small." Feng Qiu hesitated for a long time, but finally felt uneasy.

"If not, just leave a dozen riders to explore the road."

"Too many people will be bad." Xu Mu smiled and did not forget to give another instruction.

It's almost dusk now, and it won't be long before darkness falls.

"Put on your armor! Bring enough dry food for three days."

The three hundred heroes on horseback took their knives, quickly fastened their robes and armor, and hung the dry food bags on the horse's belly.

Time was too tight, so I couldn't carve out a very good wooden spear. I only picked up some long, straight pieces of wood, which were also hung under the horse's belly.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Mu got on his horse.

"Feng Qiu, remember what I said."

Feng Qiu's eyes turned slightly red, and he cupped his hands into fists and didn't put them down for a long time.

"march!"

The figures of the three hundred riders quickly pulled up the reins following Xu Mu's shouts, and rushed out of Zhougong Town in the dusk.

Less than ten miles away from the town, the sky finally turned dark and frightening.

"Xu."

Xu Mu took a breath, raised his head, and calmly identified it.

"Brother Mu, if we go straight for a few dozen miles, we'll reach Wangzhou!" Sihu reined in his horse and approached, his voice booming.

Xu Mu didn't know it, but in this way, it would be easy for him to get into trouble with Di Jun who was patrolling at night.

"Go around."

Pulling up the reins again, the figure of three hundred riders followed Xu Mu. After a while, they were suddenly enveloped in the night.

"Brother Mu, I'm still thinking of going to see an old racecourse."

Everyone is nostalgic, even a rough guy like Si Hu. The old horse farm on Sitong Road was their first stable home, but it was a pity that it was destroyed by the war.

"When Wangzhou is conquered, I will go back with you." Xu Mu comforted him, and was about to rush forward again——

Suddenly, he raised his head and his eyes suddenly became solemn. In front of him, there were about seven or eight swaying lanterns, getting closer and closer.

This is obviously a Di man on night patrol.

"My boss, there's Di Gou!" Zhou Zun clapped his horse back, lowering his voice.

"How many rides?"

"Sixty or seventy riders, probably the outpost of the night watch team, only a few miles away."

"Avoid."

Xu Mu frowned, never expecting that the Beidi people's search range would expand so widely.

The figure of three hundred riders was about to take advantage of the night to escape. Unexpectedly, a black hawk suddenly flew down from the night sky, making a strange cry.

Xu Mu's face was shocked. As expected, with the cry of the black hawk, the Di people's outpost, which was still a little far away, was suddenly alerted and suddenly rushed towards them with a roar.

"damn it!"

It is said that Beidi is good at raising falcons, which are used to spy on military intelligence. The previous condor camp should be the same.

With a roar of rage, Si Hu raised his knife and chopped Black Eagle into pieces.

But even so, the harm caused by Black Hawk is far from stopping.

"Brother Mu, what should we do? Those Di people are rushing over!"

"Turn the horse's head and charge to kill the enemy!"

Sixty or seventy cavalry are capable of killing. If he continues to be followed, he might attract other Di people.

"call!"

"Separate the two wings and charge into the enemy formation."

"Ping gun!"

The first wave of Beidi people's horse arrows were obviously still unclear, and the direction was very biased, and not many people were injured.

After passing the horse arrows, in a short time, three hundred men and horses, following Xu Mu's instructions, quickly split the two wings and attacked the enemy.

The fierce wooden spears poked Di people from time to time, causing them to fall off their horses and let out miserable screams.

"Owl-headed dog!"

Si Hu, Chen Sheng, and Tian Song, after getting closer, quickly put away their guns and raised their knives to harvest the Di people who fell from their horses.

A soldier who is not afraid of death can unleash an astonishing fighting spirit.

The Di people who were riding in their 60s and 70s never expected that the riding skills of people like Xu Mu would be so terrifying. In a hurry, only a dozen of them were killed, and they took off their reins and fled back.

The bow dog twisted the small arrow and shot three people in succession, but it was still unable to stop them. At least a dozen of the Di people on horseback left the battlefield.

Xu Mu did not intend to pursue and suppress them. God knows if there are still large armies nearby. If they were trapped in an encirclement, the three hundred of them would be completely ruined.

The most important thing right now is to get out of the neighborhood quickly.

"Go quickly."

After taking a breath and not caring about closing the battlefield, Xu Mu led the men and continued running wildly into the night.

Above the sky, even if there is still rain. At this time, one signal arrow after another roared into the night sky, and exploded into sparks in the blink of an eye.

The nearest one happened to explode near Three Hundred Cavalry, making every determined face red.

Xu Mu's face turned bitter. He couldn't imagine that a barbarian from Beidi had such gunpowder technology.

"Boss, this is the signal from the Beidi people, this is about to be encircled and suppressed!" Among the three hundred cavalry, there were many veterans of the Qinglong Camp, and they immediately exclaimed.

Encirclement and suppression means Beidi night patrols from all directions, and even large armies, will join in the siege and suppression from all directions.

The rumble of horse hooves on the ground seemed to be close but not far away, as if it was very close at hand.

Xu Mu calmed down, forced himself to calm down, and looked for a direction where he could escape.

"Run-"

Hoo ho ho.

The night wind and night rain rang in the ears, making people even more frightened.

Thump thump thump.

The Di people who caught up behind them, with at least three or four thousand riders, began to roar and attack in circuitous directions, shooting horse arrows.

The last dozen or so heroes were immediately turned into hedgehogs and fell off their horses to death.

Xu Mu's eyes were about to split, but it was a pity that Ji Ren was not good at running and shooting. Among three hundred horses, only a bow dog could do it.

clang.

In the rain at night, a centurion from Di was shot to pieces and his armor was shattered. He had just thrown his horse, and before he had time to get up, he was trampled to pieces by the horse's hooves.

"Master, we are getting closer!"

Xu Mu gritted his teeth and looked around. When he saw an old forest not far away, he was rarely surprised.

"Everyone, let's go into the forest together!"

Nearly three hundred riders followed Xu Mu's voice and immediately fled into the old forest after avoiding a burst of horse arrows.

The speed of the galloping horse suddenly slowed down due to the cluttered trees.

"Si Hu, break the tree!"

Si Hu roared angrily, reined in his horse, jumped down, swung his splitting saber and swept it a dozen times, cutting off six or seven nearby trees.

Broken trees rolled down along the sloping terrain, ultimately delaying the pursuers.

"Si Hu, mount your horse quickly."

There were less than 300 men and horses left. Under the leadership of Xu Mu, they circled out from another part of the old forest and continued to run forward.

In the sky, one signal arrow after another continued to explode into sparks near them.

"My boss, if you can't escape, you'll fight! I'm not afraid of death!" Chen Sheng drew out his sword and roared coldly.

Xu Mu gasped, and when he entered the hinterland of Beidi, he thought of this possibility. Intercept Liangdao to save Hezhou, but they will also be in trouble.

"Keep running!"

Under the vast darkness of night, three hundred figures on horseback galloped along the dim road ahead.
