Chapter 21 Response
Pei Yuan was almost choked to death by Chen Toutie's words.
Seeing that the distance between the two sides was getting closer, he didn't bother to scold Chen Toutie and quickly reminded him, "Be prepared to fight!"
Cheng Leixiang and Chen Toutie also knew that there was no hope by simply running, so they drew their Embroidered Spring Swords in their hands and prepared themselves.
As they were on this mission, they did not request bows and arrows or long weapons as they had a long journey ahead of them and were afraid that they might be damaged.
Now I can only rely on the Embroidered Spring Sword in my hand to fight the enemy.
There were three big treasures in the package on Pei Yuan's back, but they had not completely scattered yet. If they made a big noise in the dark night, it would attract nearby rebels to gather and chase them.
Pei Yuan observed while running and quickly made a decision, "Slow down the horse and run to the nearby fields!"
The ridges of the fields were undoubtedly a fatal obstacle for the cavalry.
Once a horse is let run, it is easy to break its legs.
Pei Yuan was willing to take risks.
Now let’s bet on whether the rebels are willing to sacrifice those dozen horses to chase after them.
If the rebels were willing to waste those dozen horses, Pei Yuan would accept it.
Pei Yuan and others would certainly lose the help of their horses, but the enemy they faced also changed from a team of cavalry to a team of infantry.
The gap between the two sides will further narrow.
Chen Toutie and Cheng Leixiang were indeed decisive at the critical moment.
Hearing Pei Yuan's order, he slowed down his horse without hesitation and rushed towards the nearby fields, ignoring the arrows shot from behind.
Soon there was a burst of shouting and cursing from the pursuers behind.
Pei Yuan stared at the rebel cavalrymen and saw that they also slowed down their horses to catch up. He immediately shouted, "Don't panic, control the speed of the horses and let them run first!"
If the three of them speed up and make their horses useless, the pursuers behind them can slowly catch up and hang them to death.
Now the distance between the two sides is about one arrow. Whoever's horse is disabled first will be out of the game.
Pei Yuan and others were riding Yima. Although their burst was very poor, they had great endurance and were as steady as old dogs when running continuously at such a low speed.
Seeing that the distance between the two sides was gradually widening, the pursuers behind began to speed up slowly.
Pei Yuan and the other two also developed a tacit understanding and started to speed up immediately.
Not long after, exclamations were heard from behind.
Pei Yuan turned back quickly and saw two of the pursuers falling off their horses.
He was happy in his heart, because this way, the willingness of this wave of rebels to pursue would be greatly weakened.
really.
Seeing the casualties, the rebels hesitated and slowly slowed down.
Chen Toutie and Cheng Leixiang both cheered softly, and the three of them quickly reduced their speed to a safe range.
At this moment, the rider behind suddenly rushed out of the field sideways, then accelerated like an arrow and went forward along the path.
Pei Yuan's palms were sweaty, and he said hurriedly, "There is a master!"
Then he asked, "Who has a fire starter?"
This is not the time to save. The big treasure in the bag must be used.
Time is running out and there is no time to use flint to start a fire. Pei Yuan doesn't dare to carry both the big treasure and the open flame with him at the same time. He can only see if these two guys are prepared.
Chen Toutie immediately took it out from his bag.
Unexpectedly, the horse was bumpy and the tinderbox and some other things fell out along with it.
Chen Toutie felt so distressed that he couldn't help but yell, "My torture device!"
Seeing this, Cheng Leixiang didn't waste any words and quickly took out his own fire starter and threw it over. Pei Yuan put away his embroidered spring knife, picked up the lid of the bamboo tube with his thumb, blew hard, and a weak flame came out.
Pei Yuan felt relieved immediately.
At this time, the fast horse that was going forward along the way had already circled to the front, waded into the field, and blocked the way.
Pei Yuan glanced at Cheng Leixiang and said, "Try him first!"
Cheng Leixiang pulled the horse's head and immediately went towards the man.
The man laughed loudly, "Good job!"
After whipping the horse hard, he used the force to leap forward, and chopped towards Cheng Leixiang with the Yanling Knife in his hand!
Cheng Leixiang had nowhere to hide on his horse, but he showed no fear.
The embroidered spring sword in his hand did not block it, but used swift force to entangle it. The chopped Yanling sword scraped a string of sparks on the embroidered spring sword, but the power of the chopped sword was cleverly dissipated.
The knife could certainly continue to chop down and severely injure Cheng Leixiang.
But Cheng Leixiang had already avoided the vital points, and the man had no room to change his moves. Cheng Leixiang only needed to make a horizontal cut to cut off the man's head.
The man laughed loudly and fell down like a heavy weight.
Then, just like Su Qin carrying a sword, he held the Yanling Knife across his shoulder with the blade facing upwards, and with his feet moving like a ghost, he slipped under the running horse and appeared on the other side.
The post horse running under Cheng Leixiang's crotch let out a sad cry, and its swollen belly spurted out blood from its internal organs like a punctured water bag.
The pale and red intestines were dragged out for several meters under the horse.
Cheng Leixiang's face changed drastically. Without waiting for the post horse to fall, he jumped down and rushed towards the person coming with the Embroidered Spring Knife in hand.
The methods of both men were very clever. After a moment of fierce fighting, they suddenly used light and agile moves.
Cheng Leixiang recognized the man's moves immediately and said loudly, "It turned out to be Xue Songqi, the leader of the Blade Hall of the Baishi Association."
Xue Songqi was a little surprised when his identity was exposed.
After a few more moves, Xue Songqi suddenly realized, "The puppy used the Huashan sword technique. Is it possible that the people of the Huashan Sect are acting as lackeys of the imperial court?"
Cheng Leixiang didn't care and lowered his voice and said, "At funerals, people will kill and rob, and at weddings, people will bully men and women. Do you people behind you need me to point it out?"
Xue Songqi silently chopped a few times and said in a deep voice, "I can't let you stay."
Pei Yuan and Chen Toutie had already distanced themselves from each other. Seeing that the man behind them was still entangled, Chen Toutie could not help but ask, "Sir, do you want me to help?"
Pei Yuan had taken advantage of the opportunity that Cheng Leixiang had gained to tie the bundle in front of him again, and he also held a large homemade grenade in his hand.
Looking at the dozen or so riders swarming over from behind, Pei Yuan shouted to Cheng Leixiang without hesitation, "Come here!"
Cheng Leixiang also knew that when he was running for his life, he had no time to compete.
He stabbed Xue Songqi with two exquisite sword moves, and rushed towards the two men with the Embroidered Spring Sword.
Chen Toutie jumped off his horse, shouting and waving his sword towards Xue Songqi.
Seeing the situation, Xue Songqi didn't know what the other two were up to. He looked back at his men who were rushing over, and after a moment's thought, he stopped and planned to win by outnumbering them.
Cheng Leixiang ran back panting and climbed onto the horse in a panic.
Chen Toutie was bluffing when facing Xue Songqi. When he saw Cheng Leixiang mounted the horse, he ran back with his sword in tow and climbed onto the horse in a hurry.
Xue Songqi cursed inwardly, and seeing that his men had caught up with him, he swung the Yanling Knife in his hand and was ready to rush forward to stop the man.
Pei Yuan would not give him any chance. He lit the fuse with a fire starter and, with his natural strength, threw the earth grenade towards the chasing crowd.
Then Pei Yuan yelled, "Go!"
He urged his horse on again and galloped towards the southeast.
