Chapter 54 Iron Cavalry

"Grand Sima You!" Cheng Kui whispered when the rain stopped. He took off the bow string that had been dried on his neck, and the mulberry wood was slightly bent. This was the old bow passed down, and the oil was moisturized and carefully stored, as if it still maintained its initial elasticity.

"Are ready?" Xiang Chao's voice came from the front, as well as the sound of scabbards colliding with armor, and the sound of war horses. The valley was dark, and the side to the north was outside the moonlight. Cheng Kui knew whether he could rush out of the horse valley safely, and it was all in one fell swoop.

"Are ready?" Gui Jing also touched him. He saw Cheng Kui not answering, and was a little puzzled.

"The first arrow will not hit." Cheng Kui, who had smeared the bowstring, restrained his excitement and took a deep breath.

"Yeah." Guijing nodded and said clearly. "How about the second arrow?"

"Either hit or not." Cheng Kui smiled. Although the bowstring was dry, it was already soft. The loose bowstring was no longer the force he had before. Under normal circumstances, he could hit the target with the third arrow, and only after five arrows could he be able to shoot with his hand.

"It must be won!" Gui Jing shouted in a deep voice. There was no explanation, this was an order.

"Which." Cheng Kui raised his bow, aimed at the Qin soldiers under the fire in the valley, and said lightly: "It's ready."

"Helping!" Xiang Chao also shouted, and then the sound of horse hooves resounded throughout the valley. At this time, Cheng Kui shot the first arrow, but it was not hit, and it was soon the second one. A Qin soldier flashed out and wanted to raise his hand to ask, "So", the feather arrow was nailed into his open mouth as if he had eyes. His body shook, and the chief spear in his hand loosened and fell down.

Taking advantage of this gap, Xiang Chao and others ran forward for more than ten steps, but they still had six or seventy steps away from the lights. While running, he didn't hear any other sounds, but he felt arrows behind him swept over his head one by one, shooting the Qin soldiers running out to death one by one.

"Jing people! Jing people..." Qin soldiers, who finally understood what happened, shouted loudly, and the sound of drums that warned were ringing immediately. The drum sound echoed in the dark valley, and the whole world was about to recover from the sleep.

"Shoot!" Xiang Chao was already within fifty steps. As soon as he shouted, the light cavalry behind him who had already set his bow and arrow shot immediately. He heard that the Qin soldiers who had left the tent happened to catch up with the rain of arrows and screamed after being caught.

"Array! Array--!" A thousand guards were arranged at the entrance of the valley road, commanded by a Qu Hou. When this man ran out, he held a shield, and most of the arrows shot on the shield, and a few shots shot on his armor, but this man did not fall.

"Shoot!" Xiang Chao, who was rushing in front, could see the Qin army Quhou holding his shield and shouting in the array. Unfortunately, the second wave of arrow rain from the Light Cavalry still did not shoot him to death.

"Cheng Kui!" Seeing that the Qin army gathered more and more and the array gradually took shape, Xiang Chao, who felt that it was not good, had to turn around and shout. While he was shouting, Cheng Kui's seven-foot long bow had been completely pulled. The moment the arrow flew out of the string, the old five-stone mulberry wooden bow was broken with a "bang".

‘Swoosh!’ The arrow flew straight with a louder sound of breaking through the air, holding the shield, ‘Puff’, a sound that was not loud, the white feathers at the end of the arrow flashed on the shield, and the Quhou, who was shouting in the array, fell down.

"Kill--!" Xiang Chao was overjoyed when he rode his horse over the horses and jumped over the horses. The temporarily cut spear in his hand was instantly flattened.

The impact of heavy cavalry was already fearful, and this fear was infinitely amplified in the darkness. No one knew how many Jing people and iron cavalry were in front of him, nor how far these iron cavalry were. After the shouts of the officials in his ears disappeared, they heard only drums and increasingly dense sounds of horse hooves. Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves near him disappeared without a trace. When the guards in front were uneasy, the "huh" wind sounded, and a powerful force rushed over. The shields in their hands were broken, and the people were also hit and flew away.

The heavy cavalry rushed into the Qin army's array through two rows of horse-resisting horses. Their downward momentum was like a ten-ton heavy hammer minted by a mansion, and they hit the thin Qin army formation. The military formation broke through with one blow, and the war horses trampled on the body of the guards and rushed out.

‘Boom--’ is not a row of heavy cavalry, but four rows of heavy cavalry rushed past one after another. Before they could stop, the horses trampled on the Qin army's tent, and the cavalry swords reaped the lives of guards in the dark. Behind them, more than a hundred light cavalry also jumped over the horses. The last two fire bombs that were not thrown into Quhou's shogunate, and the fire instantly burned, and the scene became even more chaotic.

"King, go quickly!" Seeing Xiang Chao breaking the formation, Gui Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go!" Xiong Jing had already gotten on his horse, and immediately rode his horse when he heard the sound. Chang Jiang, the left and right Shi, the doctor, and the wounded followed him. The group hurriedly drove through the last few miles of dangerous land and entered the valley road to Wei.

The valley road was wide first and then narrow. After walking a few miles, one person was able to pass by. Fortunately, the sky was bright at this time, and the light shone in the narrow valley road, with thick vines and moss on both walls. At this time, Gui Jing led people to rush in front of Xiongjing, climbed over a hill and walked for a few miles. The path was no longer visible on the ground, so he could only get off the horse and lead it. The road was suddenly clear in front of the valley road. But at this moment, the sound of "buzz--!" sounded arrows, and a flag flashed behind the rock wall. It was not the Qin flag, but...

"Beware!" Gui Jing was falling into an ice cave. He never expected that there would be ambush here.

"Protect the King!" The knights rushed up, but the knights who were still in the narrow mountain path could not rush to the front.

"Master Yiqu, please see the king." No one could understand the flashing flag. Xiong Jing only saw a horse's head drawn on it. When Xiong Jing looked at the flag, a man who looked like a close servant walked forward a few steps and said a gentle word.

"The king is from Yiqiu." The sword was unsheathed, and seeing the other party step forward and talk, some light flashed in the right Shi's eyes.

"Get out of the way." Xiong Jing also noticed something, and he wanted to step forward.

"King, the Qin people are not trustworthy!" The knight was anxious and felt that this was the Qin people's conspiracy to deceive the King.

"Get out of the way." It was already in a desperate situation. The Yiqiu people on the opposite side happened to block the key pass, and Xiong Jing wanted to give it a try.

The king's order cannot be violated. The knight quickly gave up a slit. Xiong Jing appeared at the front of the queue and said, "What do you want to do with Yiqiu?"

Xiong Jing showed up and made the Yiqu array sway. Last year to this year, they finally met the King of Chu. The chubby Yiquzi pushed away the armored soldiers in front of him. After a while of Rong, the close servant pointed to an open space beside the valley road and said, "I would like to talk to the king."

"This is not the time to reminisce." Behind him are the pursuers. If they fight or not, Xiong Jing is unwilling to stay again.

"Don't worry, the Qin people have been led away by the great king." The waiter bowed. In order to make Xiong Jing believe, he pointed to a Yiqu knight wearing ring armor and said: "There is a road leading to the valley entrance, so it is not difficult to lead the Qin people away."

The armor on the Yiqiu soldiers made Xiong Jing's eyes heat up. This was the armor of the dead knight.

"Please, King." Like a magic trick, several servants actually set up a tent on the open space, with sheepskin laid out in the tent, and a table was set up on the sheepskin, and wine vessels were placed on the table. Two women, who were obviously Rong people, stood next to the table, waiting for Xiong Jing to enter the table.

"King." The left and right Shi squeezed forward, and the right Shi whispered: "I heard that Yiqu was destroyed by Qin and the country has been destroyed for thirty-six years."

"Yeah." Under Gui Jing's escort, Xiong Jing walked towards the table and sat down in the table.

The Rong people were fired, and Yiquji's fat face was covered by his hair, only his small eyes and beard were exposed. It can be seen that he was a person who enjoyed a lot, and even when he went out to fight, he had to bring his maid and fine wine. The maid carefully scooped the wine from the wine bowl on Xiong Jing's table to the wine of the two people. Then Yiquji shouted, "Please pick up the wine jiao and drank it all."

Xiong Jing understood the meaning of Yiquji. This was to indicate that the wine was not poisonous and could drink it with peace of mind. He had not been asleep all night, and he ran away just now. Xiong Jing was also thirsty. Before Chang Jiang advised him, he picked up the wine and drank it all.

"Wine!" The wine became sour, and Xiong Jing also tasted a taste, which was wine.

"Grape?" Yiqujin was stunned at first, and then laughed. The word "Grape" was originally a transliteration, originally in Dayuan, and grapes were introduced to East Asia during the Western Han Dynasty. He never thought that the king of Chu, located in the south, knew about grapes.

"The king knows the Shi Kingdom?" Yiquzi looked at Xiong Jing with a little surprised look. Yiqu was indeed destroyed by Qin Kingdom, but he saw that the Qin people were like Chinese people despising the Southern Barbarians. Except for a very few people, the huge world west of Kunlun Mountain was not known to this land.

"I have never heard of it, but Buying knew that there was a kind of bloody BMW where grapes were planted." The maid scooped wine for Xiong Jing again. After drinking it, Xiong Jing pointed to the wine bottle and said to Changjiang, "Transfer it to the back, so that everyone can taste the wine of the Western Regions."

"Why do you need to do this?" Yi Quji waved his hand again, and the servant brought two sheepskin bags of wine and brought it over. Xiong Jing was not polite, and just blinked at Changjiang and asked him to take it away.

"The king has extraordinary knowledge." Yiquji said with a smile. He stopped being polite and said, "If I let the king leave, why would the king thank you?"

"What do you want?" Xiong Jing certainly knew what he was thinking. He had to spend so much effort drinking and talking, so he would definitely be very demanding.

"I want..." Yiquji pointed at the Chu army knight who was still on guard and said, "This iron cavalry."

"Iron Cavalry?" Xiong Jing smiled.

"Ran." Yiquji's hand kept pointing at Xiang Chao and others. "I want this iron cavalry, the one that rushes to the formation."

"If you don't agree, how can you take it away?" The power of the heavy cavalry is unparalleled. If there is such an iron-armored heavy cavalry on the grassland, what else can the Huns do?

"I have my own way." Yiquzi's expectation became stronger and stronger, and he thought Xiong Jing had agreed.

"Even if the unscrupulous agrees, they..." Xiong Jing also pointed at Xiang Chao and others, "They are neither unscrupulous slaves nor unscrupulous retainers. They are just unscrupulous companions, how could they travel thousands of miles to Yiqu?"

"If you don't want to, the king will die here." Yiquzi's eyes changed and he no longer had the smile before.

"You should also be buried with you." Xiong Jing was not afraid at all. He saw clearly that Yiqiu was not many people than him, but he just took the risk.

"King..." Gui Jing was stopped by Xiong Jing just as he wanted to speak out.
