Chapter 605 (1/2)
That night, at the third watch of the night, the north gate of Yecheng opened slowly.
Five hundred Jizhou cavalry rushed out, surrounded by Xu you, and killed him to the north.
After more than 500 Jizhou cavalry galloped for more than a mile, they suddenly shot a cold arrow from the side.
Whoosh!
A Jizhou cavalry soldier did not notice, but got an arrow in his shoulder. It was a powerful and heavy arrow with three edges. It easily pierced the nail leaf on his shoulder and shot deeply into the skin and flesh.
”Well? What a man Xu you was startled and asked.
”Mr. Ziyuan, don't worry.” One side of the guard replied, ”this is the cavalry set up by the Xiliang army, but dozens of people can't stop our army.”
Hearing this, Xu you breathed a sigh of relief, but still said: ”well, kill at once. I have been ordered by the Lord, and we must not lose anything.”
”Please rest assured, Mr. Ziyuan.” The guard assured him, ”a certain guarantee will protect Mr. Ziyuan out of the encirclement and live up to the great trust of the Lord!”
Xu you nodded and looked at his armor. Usually, he despised the iron armour of these soldiers, but now he is very dependent on it. Who knows if an arrow will suddenly come from afar?
”The enemy's hundreds of cavalry break through the encirclement, quickly inform Ma Xiaowei!”
Usually, there are only dozens of Xiliang cavalry stationed outside the north gate. Nowadays, there are fewer people in the middle of the night. However, seeing that hundreds of Jizhou troops have killed out of the city, they naturally realize that something is wrong.
After being informed, Ma Dai immediately got up from the camp, dressed all over and turned over to mount the horse.
”Hundreds of iron horses were suddenly killed in Ye City?” Ma Dai asked in a voice as he galloped.
”Exactly, captain.” One side of the pro Wei agreed: ”the enemy suddenly killed out, the brothers outside the north gate were caught off guard, so they had to inform the captain.”
”It seems that the enemy has been premeditated, but our army is only afraid of catching up.” Ma Dai frowned.
However, even if the best horse in Jizhou can't catch up with the iron horse in the city during the day, he can't get ready to ride the iron horse.
”Captain, what to do?” One side of the pro guard turned to ask.
”We don't have to chase, but we have to send a small number of sentries to find out where the enemy is.” Ma Dai said in a deep voice: ”I always feel that the enemy seems to have some strategies...”
so Ma Dai sent dozens of the most elite outposts in the army. According to the trace of the enemy's horse's hooves, he has been closely following the enemy.
Without a large number of Xiliang cavalry following him, Xu you, surrounded by hundreds of Jizhou cavalry, breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down his march.
”How many days will it take to get there?”
The guard on one side replied, ”Mr. Ziyuan, it will take ten days at least.” It's no surprise to ride a horse for 200 Li a day, but the Wuhuan people are far away from Youzhou, and the distance is very long.
Xu you frowned and sighed: ”well, everything is for the Lord's plan, so I have to endure it.”
After that, Xu you wrapped up his red cloak. As for his cold and heavy armor, he had already taken off.
