On the vast snowfield, the cold wind whistled past, blowing up countless snowflakes that danced wildly in the air.
Mingchuan's face, which originally looked rough, now turned red as blood.
The old horse under his crotch moved its four hooves with difficulty, heavy and hot white mist came out of its nose, and bursts of neighing came out of its mouth. It was obvious that it could no longer withstand this long journey.
"Faster, old buddy! You must hold on!"
Ming San slapped the horse's back anxiously and begged desperately.
His eyes were fixed on the front, and through the flying white snow, he vaguely saw a dark shadow in the distance - that was their destination, the forest was not far away.
Three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred meters... the distance is getting closer and the hope is getting greater.
However, at this moment, a sharp whistle was heard piercing the sky, and an arrow came rushing from behind like lightning, wrapped in the roar of the wind, and shot straight towards Ma San and Mingchuan.
The arrow was extremely fast and was close in the blink of an eye.
The arrow flew past Ma San's ear dangerously, and the sharp arrow instantly left a deep bloody mark on Ma San's ear.
“Ugh!”
In an instant, severe pain came like a tide, and Ma San's face suddenly changed.
At the critical moment of life and death, he had no time to think, he suddenly bent down, rolled over, and quickly hid on the left side of the horse's back.
"Lululu!" The frightened old horse let out a shrill wail, and suddenly its legs went soft and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang.
Due to the effect of inertia, Ming San on the horse's back was thrown out and fell heavily to the ground.
For a moment, only a few muffled "bang bang bang" sounds were heard, and Ming San rolled several times in the snow. His whole body was covered with mud and water, and he looked very embarrassed.
Fortunately, after some struggle, Ming San finally managed to rush into the edge of the forest at the critical moment.
He gasped for breath and struggled to get up from the ground.
At this moment, he heard bursts of shouts and the sharp sounds of arrows rapidly passing through the air.
Ming San glanced back quickly and shuddered.
"Three riders, here come the barbarian scouts!"
Not daring to delay for even a second, Ming San gritted his teeth and used all his strength to run wildly towards the depths of the forest.
"Abagu (kill), we caught up with this Qin beast, he must be a spy!"
"Catch him up and skin him alive!"
A few barbarians poked their heads out, their eyes ferocious, like hungry wolves.
After decades of long wars, these barbarians and the Qin Dynasty had already formed an irreconcilable blood feud.
Now Wanyan Bi has successfully integrated the major tribes and established his own country.
This did not bring the dawn of peace, but instead made the vast majority of the barbarian army become more brutal and bloodthirsty. The combat philosophy they adhered to could be summed up in just two words: killing and torturing!
In this border area, for the Qin people, becoming a prisoner meant certain death.
Because these barbarians have always had the bad habit of killing surrendered soldiers and will never show mercy.
"It's here, it's almost here!"
Ming San clenched his teeth so tightly that blood even came out from between his lips and teeth.
Despite this, he still ran forward with all his might, running a full fifty meters.
But in the end, he fell heavily to the ground due to exhaustion.
There was deathly silence all around, except for the rustling of leaves in the wind.
But this silence only lasted for a moment, and was soon completely swallowed up by the thundering sound of horse hooves and deafening shouts of killing.
"Abagu (Kill), Abagu! (Kill!)"
In the blink of an eye, three barbarian cavalrymen came galloping like a storm.
Although the dense woods seriously hindered the horses' movement speed, Ming San, who had lost his mount and was exhausted, was obviously in a more disadvantaged position.
As he watched the three cruel and ferocious faces getting closer and closer until they came clearly into his sight, Ming San couldn't help but feel a surge of despair in his heart.
At the same time, one of the barbarian scouts also discovered Ming San. The corners of his mouth instantly rose up, revealing a creepy and terrifying smile.
A barbarian raised the long sword in his hand high, the sharp blade flashed with cold light, and at the same time it was wrapped in a powerful and heart-pounding blood force.
Seeing this, Ming San quickly raised his arm to try to block the fatal blow. However, at the moment when the two came into contact, Ming San's face suddenly changed drastically, and his eyes revealed an unconcealable look of fear!
Ming San also cultivated qi and blood in his body, but even so, he was unable to withstand this seemingly ordinary knife!
Even the strength of Blood Refining couldn't stop it!
Every barbarian is a monster with the body of a tiger or a wolf, with infinite strength and unparalleled bravery!
"Hahahahaha! Qin Chong!"
With a hideous grin, the cruel look on his face spread more and more unscrupulously, shaking off Ming San's knife, and the deadly cold light came again.
"It's over!"
However, at this moment, a deafening sound of breaking through the air suddenly exploded!
A black shadow came rushing like lightning, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a javelin as thick as a forearm that shot out with unparalleled momentum!
The speed of the javelin was astonishingly fast. It rose and fell in just one breath, and pierced through the barbarian's neck with lightning speed!
In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, like a sad and beautiful blood flower blooming in the air.
"Gululu!"
At the same time, the shouts and cries from the other side surged like a raging tide, instantly drowning the three barbarian knights.
Immediately afterwards, several figures suddenly rushed out from the ambush that had been set up.
“Kill him!”
For a moment, the flashes of swords and the shadows of knives were crisscrossed, and the smell of blood filled the air.
The remaining two barbarians originally had ferocious smiles on their faces, but when they saw the ambush troops suddenly appearing all around them, their smiles froze on their faces instantly.
"Qia Gan Xi (You bastard!), there's an ambush!"
The two men were terrified and almost subconsciously twisted the horses under their crotch, wanting to break out of the encirclement at all costs.
However, at this time, Xia He was already rushing from the front like a flash of lightning.
He took the lead, and the short distance of thirty steps seemed just a short distance to him.
It only took him three breaths to reach the front.
At the same time, Xia He drew out the long sword from his waist without hesitation.
In an instant, all the energy and blood in the body poured into the long sword in his hand like a flood.
While Xia He was charging, Erpang had already sneaked around to the other side without anyone noticing, and arrived at the designated position in advance and quickly got into horse stance.
Place your hands on top of your knees.
Then, he let out a low roar.
"Brother He, come here!"
