Chapter 221 Courageous
These women immediately ran in all directions. Even if Shen Xiaoye cooperated with the senior sister's lion roar and waved the command flag higher, it was useless.
"Come back, our people have gone to intercept them." The eldest sister was furious. Although it was just getting dark, if they ran aimlessly away from the crowd, there was a 99% chance that they would get lost in the prairie.
Seeing that the situation was out of control, Shen Xiaoye urged his horse to catch up with the women, and the one on four legs quickly outran the one on two legs.
Then, amid the roar of the eldest sister and the sound of whips from others, Shen Xiaoye waved the flag vigorously, and the pole shot out diagonally, injuring and knocking down several women in an instant.
"Knock them down!" The eldest sister was given a new perspective by her actions and immediately ordered her younger brothers and sisters.
So the women who were running around were all knocked to the ground in a few moments. Those who did not faint among them were terribly frightened when they heard the earth shaking.
However, the Waqi pursuers would not slow down just because they were women. In their eyes, even if there were a dozen guards resisting, they would be annihilated the moment they made contact.
Unfortunately, before they charged over, two teams of cavalry came galloping from the left and right wings and intercepted them almost in the blink of an eye.
The left wing attacked directly in the lead, while the team on the right wing attacked the stretched middle section of the Waqif, splitting it in two.
But Waqi's troops were holding torches, which made them conspicuous targets compared to the ambushing party.
The two sides were fighting not many miles behind the convoy. The shouting and killing sounds were particularly close. Shen Xiaoye threw away the flag and rode his horse to go and see.
The eldest sister rode her horse to stop her and said, "Wait, your uncle and his men took the risk because they bribed an insider from the other side. If you go to see it alone, it will be pitch dark and you won't be able to see anything."
In fact, the night sky above the grassland was shining with stars, and with the addition of the waxing moon, Shen Xiaoye could see clearly even without a torch.
She said, "I'm going to go find the two Taoist priests."
It was not until she saw the two elusive Taoist priests setting a trap during the day that she realized how stupid it was for her and her senior sister to use the little time they had to train people.
The eldest sister also learned about the arrangements made by the two uncles and the temporary team. She felt that she had been too arbitrary before, so when she saw the woman running around in fear, she was so angry that her voice was split.
Taoist priests Qingxi and Hengxi had chosen a location very close to the battle zone early on, not only to watch the battle, but most importantly, they had been investigating the best position for ambush with Shen Changsui and others during the day.
At this time, the two men looked calmly at the two sides who were fighting fiercely. Due to the cover of night, they could not see Shen Changsui and Lu Guan clearly.
"Brother, this tactic is too risky. If the Wa people attack us during the day, Shen Changsui and the others will have no way to hide." Before dark, Taoist Hengxi was sweating.
Qingxi said: "Come during the day, there are daytime methods to fight."
There was a pit every foot or so under their feet. The horse-trapping pits were dug quickly by the rear guards after they drove away the enemy scouts.
It can stop a horse running at full speed from falling in an instant.
During the day, Shen Xiaoye and his friends would take a detour when passing by here.
"You have to know that the enemy's horses have not been able to get bean feed for a long time. It seems that they are in a great situation, but we have been moving forward. The longer the distance between us and them, the more advantageous it is." Taoist Qingxi patted his fellow apprentice on the shoulder.
He added: "Hengxi, you must have confidence. You will not lose even if you fight us head-on."
Hengxi: “That’s why I’m worried. Among the two hundred guards led by the Wu family, 70% to 80% are Dada people.
Even in our team, half of them are descendants of former surrendered generals.
Brother, right now it’s basically the small groups under the two major Northern Tartar subordinates fighting among themselves.
Moreover, there are many Dada people in the emperor’s army.”
"Once they enter China, they are Chinese. After one or two generations, they will be true people of the Great Zhou." Taoist Qingxi was not worried. He turned around and looked at Shen Xiaoye, who had dismounted from his horse in the distance and was walking towards them carefully with a torch in hand.
And he threw a hidden weapon towards the torch in her hand at an extremely fast speed.
When Shen Xiaoye felt a gust of wind coming, his body subconsciously tilted to the side. As the torch he waved out went out, another gust of wind rushed towards him.
This time she waved the torch that had gone out again, but when the little black cat said the word "arrow", she decisively threw the torch to meet the arrow, and she fell to the ground and rolled to the right twice.
When Qingxi flew over, she just stood up from the ground, "Master, I finally understand why the senior sister doesn't allow us to watch the fight."
It's really a stray arrow on the battlefield. It's unreasonable and no one knows who shot it from.
"You are very brave. You dare to hold the torch at this time." Taoist Qingxi didn't know what to say to her. She was not stupid, but she would make some fatal little mistakes.
Shen Xiaoye scratched his head embarrassedly, caught the little black cat that jumped into his arms, and said, "I was careless."
On the other side, Taoist Master Hengxi, who was following closely, found the arrow not far away.
With his good night vision, he could see the anniversary number written on it, walked over and sighed, "It's one of ours."
"Let me keep it as a souvenir." Shen Xiaoye took it and was almost injured by his own people.
When the arrow reached her hand, the battlefield in the distance also changed, and the Wa people kept blowing whistles to retreat.
Lu Guan, who was crazy about killing, chased after Taiji who retreated first.
Inside the battle circle, Shen Changsui's sword was almost bent. When he knocked down one man and rode his horse to kill another, a sharp arrow flew through the air from behind him.
"Get down!" Guard Xia, who was not far from him, was still fighting with someone and had no time to help.
Fortunately, Shen Changluo was able to get off his horse quickly. When the arrow flew over the horse's back, he jumped back on the horse nimbly and joined the fight again.
Guard Xia heaved a sigh of relief when his opponent slashed his left arm. The moment he focused on the enemy, he shouted, "Jia San."
Then, when no one was paying attention, a man who had killed an enemy soldier not far from him urged his horse through several groups of people fighting each other and ran towards the place where the arrow that had just been shot at Shen Changsui fell.
At this time, his teammates, who had almost killed 30% of the opponent, seemed to be getting more and more motivated as the fight went on.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the Wa people retreated faster and faster, and in a blink of an eye, their side was chasing and killing the enemy soldiers.
So Shen Xiaoye hadn't been watching the battle for long when the battlefield had already moved. The two Taoist priests invited you, "Go clean up the battlefield?"
She asked: "Finish the kill?" Several teammates who stayed behind had already appeared on the battlefield.
These people rushed in, each holding a torch.
Qingxi nodded: "Yes."
"Save people." But Hengxi disagreed with him.
Shen Xiaoye only uttered: "Okay."
She had gotten used to the fact that she could kill people with a swift blow, so she refused to join Taoist Hengxi in rescuing people, and instead followed other teammates in finishing off the enemy soldiers.
