Li Longji ran all the way. His horse was a BMW horse that was one of the best in a thousand. He ran straight for dozens of miles and stopped when he reached Bengya Mountain. Murong Guogang and his followers caught up with him.
Li Longji said to Murong Guogang: "I knew you would let me go first every time you race, so even if I win, I won't be very happy. But what about this time, even if you try your best to catch up, you still can't catch up. Fuck me.¡±
Murong Guogang said: "Your Majesty, your horse is good. If we change horses, the outcome will be unknown."
"Stay tough! Okay, then let's change horses next time so that you can be convinced of your defeat." Li Longji said with a smile.
They were talking here, but the followers did not dare to rest and scattered around, looking for a place to spend the night. The area near Bengya Mountain is still a grassland. There are no villages or nomadic tribes nearby, only a lonely hill.
The captain of the entourage said to Li Longji: "Your Majesty, if we stay here overnight, the best place to camp is on the mountain. I will wait for my subordinates to go up the mountain to check." After that, he rode up the mountain.
Li Longji glanced at the hill and said: "This mountain looks strange, a bit like a gap in the front tooth!"
A follower was looking at the map and said: "My lord, you are right. This mountain is called Bengya Mountain. It is about seventy miles away from the Liangzhou Pass. It can be reached in half a day on horseback."
After a short while, the captain came down the mountain and arrived in front of Li Longji and said: "Your Majesty, my subordinates went up the mountain and found that something was wrong. There seemed to be a prairie tribesman not far away!"
Li Longji said, went up the mountain in person and looked into the distance. The moonlight is bright, and when you climb up and look into the distance, you can't see very clearly, but you can still see clearly whether there are any knights on the grassland a mile or two away.
Sure enough, there were several knights in the distance, and they couldn't see their attire clearly. But if you want to find out the identity of each other on the grassland, you don't have to see their attire clearly. You can tell by looking at their actions.
The captain followed Li Longji, pointed at the knights, and said: "My lord, look, these people are all scattered, about thirty feet apart. This is when they encounter enemy archers, so The distance that they can react in time, this formation already shows that they are not merchants, but wanderers of the grassland tribe. But looking around, there is no campfire in the tribal camp for more than ten miles, so these few people may Not sentries, but scouts who go out to spy on the enemy."
Li Longji narrowed his eyes, looked at it for a moment, shook his head and said: "This place is far from the Liangzhou Pass. Is it close or not? If there is a fight between tribes, Liangzhou will definitely send troops, right? Are you a scout from the Liangzhou garrison?"
Murong Guogang also went up the mountain, but he said: "It is unlikely that the Liangzhou defenders would send out scouts. Even if they did, they would not be so late and so far away from the camp. There is no need for this. No grassland tribe dares to do so." Attack our army camp!"
Li Longji nodded. He also thought so. The grassland tribes near Liangzhou who dared to resist the Zhou Dynasty had long been maimed and forced to stay away. However, the obedient small tribes did not have the strength to make the defenders worth their while. At this time, scouts were sent so far away from the pass.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Longji said: "Send someone over and ask about the situation."
The captain agreed and called a follower with excellent riding skills to ask him about the situation. The entourage immediately went down the mountain and ran towards the rangers.
It was not far away. Li Longji was watching from the mountain and saw the follower running towards one of the rangers, which was the one closest to Bengya Mountain.
They saw the ranger standing motionless. When his entourage ran into the shooting range, he suddenly opened his bow and fired an arrow. The entourage had superb riding skills and dodged the arrows, but did not dare to rein in the horse to prevent the ranger from shooting again. He could only Go in a circle and run back to Bengya Mountain!
Murong Guogang shouted: "There is no doubt that they are enemies, but which tribe are they from?"
The entourage who went to ask about the situation was wearing merchant clothes. If he were a Liangzhou scout, he would not shoot him with an arrow. If he was a tribe who obeyed the Zhou Dynasty, he would not shoot a merchant!
Li Longji shook his head and said: "It can't be from a hostile tribe. There are no hostile tribes here, and even if it is an enemy tribe, it is impossible to shoot the merchant without asking. It is possible that it is a bandit on the grassland. Only bandits." That¡¯s why he didn¡¯t say anything and just took action!¡±
His words were immediately confirmed. The attendant ran back on horseback as if he was risking his life, shouting as he ran: "It's a robber, it's a robber!"
Those rangers all rushed over, howling as they chased, just like wild wolves catching prey at night, driving them away first and waiting for an opportunity to bite!
Murong Guogang snorted and said, "Just a few of them want to rob us. What a daydream!" He took out his bow and arrow and went down the mountain in person to meet the followers who had escaped.
Li Longji shouted: "Be bold and show no mercy, maybeThey are not the only robbers, don't let them go alive! "
Murong Guogang did not look back and shouted: "Your Majesty, just look at me!"
After descending from the mountain, Murong Guogang bent his bow and nocked an arrow. With a whoosh, the arrow shot towards the chasing horseman. When the follower got help, he slowed down his horse, drew out his sword, and turned his horse around. Head, stand beside Murong Guogang, prepare to fight!
According to common sense, or according to the understanding of the aristocratic young masters from Chang'an, with their archery skills at the archery range and hunting, it is not considered to be able to pierce a poplar with a hundred steps, but it should still be no problem to pierce a poplar with a few dozen steps. Yes!
However, the knowledge of a noble son is not easy to use against the powerful rangers on the prairie!
The chasing knight did not dodge in the face of the arrow shot by Murong Guogang. As the horse galloped, the knight reached out and grabbed the arrow shot by Murong Guogang, and then set the arrow on it. The strings of his own bow sounded, and the arrows shot back, making a sharp sound that broke through the air. It was much louder than when Murong Guogang shot!
Murong Guogang was shocked. He rarely saw people with such superb archery skills. When he was in Chang'an, he often went to watch the exercises of the Forbidden Army. The master archers in the Forbidden Army could also show this kind of archery skills, but those with this kind of archery skills There were not many people, and no one dared to shoot him with an arrow.
For a moment, Murong Guogang was so horrified that he couldn't even move. All his ambitions and high spirits flew up to the sky before the whistling arrows. He was completely stunned!
The follower who had escaped next to him cried out in his heart. At this moment, he had no choice but to save him. He raised the horizontal sword, stretched it straight, and blocked Murong Guogang's chest. He heard a loud noise in the ground, and the arrow and the horizontal sword struck at the same time. When they hit the ground, sparks flew everywhere, which shows how powerful the arrow was!
Only then did Murong Guogang react. He screamed in fright, got back on his horse and ran up the mountain. Behind him, there was a loud swishing sound, and all the rangers released their arrows!
Li Longji was shocked. These were not ordinary robbers. They were extremely ferocious giant robbers. If there were only a few of these giant robbers, that would be enough. But if there were more than just these few, they would not be able to escape in the grassland area even if they wanted to. ah!
The captain shouted: "Shoot the horses, shoot the horses, when they go up the mountain, shoot the horses first!"
He shouted for his followers to shoot the robber's horse, but as soon as he finished shouting, before the followers could release their arrows, several long hisses were heard. Murong Guogang and the followers' horses were shot down, and they fell to the ground. hillside.
The knights behind them did not come close. After shooting down their horses, they put away their bows and arrows, laughed, and turned around and left.
In the distance, after running for more than a mile, the rangers stopped again and looked at Bengya Mountain, but no one was sent to report the news!
The experienced captain saw this situation and said to Li Longji: "Your Majesty, before we saw them, they had already discovered us, so they had already sent people to call the brigade. The bandits will be here soon! "
