Chapter 40
The enemy wasn't too close, and the light was extremely strong, so for a moment I couldn't tell whether the two pieces of paper were defense maps or not. However, maps that could be carried with you...
After thinking it over in his mind, the leader tilted his head to signal his subordinates to go forward to confirm.
The man rode his horse slowly closer until he was completely close. The two people standing on the hill, big and small, did not move at all.
The man silently relaxed his tense mind, and Wei Wu obediently handed the drawings to him.
Seeing Wei Wu's actions, the cavalrymen slowly loosened their arrows. It shouldn't be a trap. After all, they came here suddenly...
Just as he was thinking about it, a blinding flash of a knife shone into the eyes of the approaching cavalryman. The bright and focused light made him lean back and close his eyes instinctively.
The next second, Wei Wu pulled him off the horse, and the sharp arrow pierced his fragile throat from top to bottom. Chu Tian, who had been hiding behind a low hill, jumped onto the horse's back with a knife in his hand, leaned over and galloped towards them.
The commotion broke out in an instant, and a flare flew straight towards the leading man and horse.
In the chaos, while Chu Tian was charging into the light cavalry team with a sword in hand, Wei Wu blew the horse whistle and drew his bow and shot quickly at the cavalrymen who were still trying to stabilize their horses.
The warm blood spilled into the sand and rocks. Yunmian hid himself, leaning against the hill, breathing continuously with his whole body tense.
She couldn't go out and cause trouble for them. She needed to wait for her horse to come over and then get on it as soon as possible.
When the sound of fighting rang out, three horses that were not far away had already run closer. Wei Wu rode his horse with a knife in hand and followed Chu Tian, charging desperately. Yun Mian hung diagonally on the side of the horse's belly, her tender white hands tightly grasping the saddle and the mane on the horse's back. Even though she was choked and blisters appeared, she gritted her teeth and tried to ride her horse as calmly as possible to escape.
Arrows were flying and some people were targeting her. Chu Tian and Wei Wu could not stop all the enemy troops.
Yun Mian looked back and saw two people following him, but they did not have any arrows ready to shoot.
Yun Mian trembled all over with gratitude for the pressing crisis. She listened to the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer, and suddenly jumped on the horse, took out the arrow, drew the bow, and shot.
A scream was rang out. Yun Mian's fingers were cut by the bowstring. Blood soaked the bowstring. He pulled the bow as hard as he could, and then let go in an instant of time.
There was a dull sound of falling to the ground, and Yun Mian's palms were full of sticky sweat and blood. She rode her horse to another low hill and stopped, turning back to check on Chu Tian and Wei Wu.
She injured two people and was crippled even though she didn't die from the fall.
At the beginning, we killed the one who came closer, and there were only ten light cavalrymen left.
The flare that Chu Tian shot at the cavalry startled the horses, so Chu Tian and Wei Wu took advantage of the chaos to kill three of them.
There are seven more.
Two against seven, there is a chance of winning, but it is not high.
Chu Tian was a soldier specially selected for her by her uncle the Emperor. He was an expert in martial arts and would not lose in a one-on-three fight.
But Wei Wu was not able to do so. Although he was also a soldier, he was chosen because he was proficient in the dialects of four countries and knew some simple medical skills.
After the flare was launched, the military camp was at least half an incense stick's distance away from here, and we couldn't get any support for the time being.
After Yun Mian thought clearly about the current situation, he lowered his head and wrapped the piece of clothes that he had just torn to pretend to surrender tightly around his hand that was cut by the bowstring. Then he picked up the bow again, let his horse stand still to block his sight, and lay on the other side of the hill. He pulled the bowstring coldly, and aimed the tip of the arrow at the horses under the men who were fighting.
Wandering around the garrison camp during this period, Yun Mian learned that the light cavalry also wore armor. If the soldier was valued or cautious about his life, he would find ways to put something like a breastplate in front of and behind his heart or even in his clothes.
So just now Wei Wu chose to pierce the man's throat with an arrow.
Yun Mian was at a certain distance at this time, but she had no other choice. She could only use all her strength as much as possible, tighten the bowstring, and calmly look for the opportunity.
Seven against two, Chu Tian used his sword, which was sharper and several inches longer than the opponent's, to be the first to cut off one man's waist and abdomen.
Six to two.
Wei Wu was injured by the blade.
Yun Mian ignored the fact that he was at a disadvantage in the game and focused on the enemy troops besieging Chu Tian.
When Chu Tian dodged a knife swung by someone, Yun Mian finally shot out the arrow which might not be fatal.
It broke through the air, swiftly piercing the cavalryman's legs and abdomen, and had enough force to penetrate the bone and puncture the horse's belly.
Chu Tian found the opportunity when the sudden change happened, stabbed the horse's belly with his backhand knife, and then went straight up to chop off the neck of the wailing cavalryman.
Five to two.
Yun Mian's hands were shaking. Wei Wu had another wound on his body, and Chu Tian was also injured.
Five against two... Yun Mian bit the soft flesh on her cheek tightly and rolled the blood-soaked hem of her clothes back around her hand, but there was no obstruction where she pulled the bow.
The flesh had been cut and eroded, and the blood-stained finger bones could be seen through the flesh.
When she shot this arrow, she still ignored Wei Wu who was more seriously injured. Instead, when a man on horseback rushed towards Chu Tian, she decisively let go and watched the arrow break through the air and pierce straight into the horse's left eye.
Chu Tian was already able to basically cooperate with her, and took advantage of the opportunity to kill the man who was staggering in panic on his horse.
Four to two.
Yunmian breathed a sigh of relief.
Because the horses of the four men could no longer be controlled well, the cavalrymen's own anxiety and panic successfully affected the horses as well.
They wanted to withdraw.
Yun Mian stopped aiming, slowly released the bow, and watched the four men flee in panic on their horses.
Chu Tian finally took out the bow and arrow and aimed at one of them.
One down.
The three men could not escape either, because the ground was shaking slightly and a large number of cavalry had arrived.
They were coming from the military camp, so these three people couldn't escape.
The bow and arrow in Yun Mian's hand fell to the ground, and she herself fell exhausted and sat down on a low hill. She lay there in a daze, looking at the dazzling sunlight above her head. Only then did she feel the fine beads of sweat on her forehead dripping down her ears.
At this moment, she looked like she had been fished out of the water. Sweat and blood had soaked most of her tattered riding clothes. Yun Mian tilted her head to look at the System Uncle who had fallen down beside her, and smiled with a relaxed look.
Survived.
I finally survived my first life-and-death crisis at the border.
Her chest was heaving, and other people's blood splattered on her face, which together with sweat made her originally fair and delicate face dirty. Yun Mian wiped her face with shaking arms, then fell back, listening to the sound of running footsteps getting closer and closer behind the hill, and slowly moved her eyes.
"Little Mianhua, you really made me proud. At the age of eight, you were able to lead two guards to fight against the enemy light cavalry. If this were to be spread out, the word "young hero" would be handed over to you by everyone in the world. Even I, your mother, would bow down to you, right?"
"You really didn't lie to me the day you came. You did what you said. You said you would get hurt in front of me. It's only been a few days and you've already accomplished your goal?"
"Do I have to report you to the emperor and ask for a reward? Don't you always want to be a general? How about I abdicate now?"
The young hero Xiao Mianhua hung his head and listened to his mother's sarcastic remarks which were filled with anger. He picked at the same strip of cloth as his mother's with his fingers, acting like a quail.
When she was first found, her mother wanted to cry, and she anxiously carried her around to look for a military doctor. But when she woke up from a nap... her mother became so fierce.
The Cotton Brand Quail did not have the tenacity and calmness he had before when facing the enemy. He raised his eyelids and secretly glanced at his mother again and again. When he was sure that her anger was still rising, he could only pout and droop his head and accept the scolding obediently.
He didn't even dare to admit his mistake, for fear that if he said a word, his mother would slap him in the face and throw him into Tu Guo's military camp.
But an angry mother is really scary QAQ...
Beside her, Wei Wu and Chu Tian also lowered their heads, silently enduring the general's terrible wrath.
Looking around the entire military camp, there was not even one person who could speak for them, not even one!!
Yunmian changed the cloth and continued to pick it bit by bit with her bent fingers. After being scolded, she became nervous and made a lot of small movements.
While the system mourned for the host, it also clearly recorded and saved this scene and gave it an excellent name.
And Then There Were None
Yunmian: “…”
Wuuuuuuuu, mother has been scolding for an hour, doesn’t she need to drink some water to moisten her mouth?
The little girl, knowing she had made a mistake, carefully peeked at her, then glanced again. After being discovered, she put her hands behind her back and smiled flatteringly, her voice as soft and sticky as if it was covered in honey: "Mother~"
Yun Peijin sneered: "Don't call me mother! You are now a soldier acting on your own. I am out of pity for you if I don't have someone drag you down and give you twenty lashes!"
Yunmian: “…”
His shoulders slumped dejectedly.
It’s over. Even acting nice can’t make my mother soften her heart.
But she didn't give up completely. After all, as a princess, what kind of scenes had she not seen? It's just... it's just that her mother was angry. She can do it, she can definitely do it!
After silently encouraging herself, the little princess hesitantly moved closer to the general, stretched out her injured little hand that was wrapped like a pig's trotter, and poked the general's waist.
Then, when the cold gaze came over, he shamelessly pleaded in a soft voice: "General's wife, please don't be angry, we really know we are wrong!"
She puffed up her cheeks, half flattering and half coquettishly lying in her mother's arms, with tears of grievance in her eyes: "Mother, mother, general, general~ mother~ general~ mother..."
Yun Peijin: “…”
Wei Wu, Chu Tian: "..."
system:"……"
This, this kind of shameless scene that makes people tap their toes on the ground, is it really something they can see without paying to be beaten?
But I have to say...the little princess is really good!
Who can stand this?!
Thinking: Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, should I update more?
Thanks to the little angel who threw the grenade:
1 Tianmang;
Thanks to the little angel who cast the mine:
1 Tianmang;
Give your baby a heart!
