"Over there. Quick, shoot the arrows."
"You think you can hide in the cave? Smoke. "
On the battlefield at the source of the Yellow River, the Winged Knights found the Tibetan Army that was running away to report the news.
The Tubo people realized that they were being chased and wanted to launch a sneak attack, so they hid behind the hills.
However, when the Winged Knights saw the hills, they sent people to the other hills to check the situation. They had binoculars.
Some people saw that they couldn't run away, so they hid in the caves.
The Winged Knights didn't go in either. They found dry grass and wet grass, lit a fire and smoked it.
Xiahou Jing was a temporary commander of a thousand people. He chased the enemy to the river.
The river was more than 700 feet wide. The hundred Tubo people knew that they were no match for the thousand Winged Knights.
As long as they crossed the river and ran for another 40 miles, they would meet the local tribes.
Not only could they pass on the message, they could even counterattack the Winged Knights.
Seeing the Winged Knights getting closer and closer, the leader shouted, "Ride the horses!" and the hundred people rode their horses down the river.
The Winged Knights chased after the Tubo people and fired a rain of arrows. More than 20 of them were shot down, and the ones in front gradually disappeared.
"Dismount, reduce the weight of the horses, and prepare to swim." Xiahou Jing saw the situation and gave the order.
He saw that the depth of the river was obviously higher than the height of the horses.
When the horses swam, they would also choke on the water and would not live for long. The distance was too long, and the horses were already very tired.
The Winged Knights dismounted and took off his clothes as fast as possible. He was only wearing his boxers. He casually packed his things and hugged them in front of his chest.
He called for the horses and rushed into the water first.
The horses also had some intelligence. They knew that they had to keep up with their masters. They also saw the horses in front of them and understood that they didn't have to carry people. It was much easier.
The men and horses entered the water together. The horses were not carrying any weight, so they swam very fast. When they reached the front, they even looked back at their masters.
The Winged Knights swam with all their might. Over 200 meters, the bag weighed a lot, and now it was on his head. He supported it with one hand and used the other hand to help his legs paddle.
They swam upstream about 50 meters away from the Tubo people and set off after them. However, they were good swimmers and had been trained to swim.
They gradually caught up and began to overtake him.
The Tubo people were at the bottom of the river. Seeing that the Winged Knights could swim by themselves, they felt helpless. The Winged Knights were too strong.
The private army of the Tang Emperors seemed to know everything.
This included the poisonous mushrooms and plants that he saw when he was escaping. He threw them on the road, hoping that the Winged Knights' horses would be poisoned.
However, looking at the number of people and horses, it was clear that the Winged Knights recognized them and did not allow the horses to touch them.
Now, the Winged Knights also knew that it would hurt the horses if they swam. How could they be so good at swimming?
If he had known earlier, he would have practiced swimming more.
"Who's going to help me carry the bag? I'll shoot it with my bow. It's less than 200 feet."
As the Winged Knights swam, they suddenly realized that they could shoot arrows from this distance.
"I'll do it." "I'll do it."
Two people swam over and each stretched out a hand to help their brother carry the bag.
The person who shouted took the bow from above, nocked an arrow, and stepped on the water to reveal a line of height.
"Ha!" He shouted and instantly drew the bow. As his body sank, the arrow flew out.
"Ah!" Someone was shot.
"Come, come, come. Brothers, let's do it together." The others saw this and called for others to cooperate.
Everyone formed teams of four while swimming. Two people helped carry the bag, one was responsible for shooting the arrows, and the other was responsible for delivering the arrows.
If the feathers of the arrows were wet, it would affect their flight.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. After a few seconds, a rain of arrows appeared.
The Winged Knights shot together with their horses. They did not care who they shot.
"Go with the current, quick." More than 30 Tubo people were shot down. The leader shouted, and they rushed down with the current and crossed the river when they were far away.
"Let's go with the current too," someone shouted.
"Go ashore, quickly go ashore. What are you chasing? Are you stupid? "Xiahou Jing shouted.
Tubo went with the current, and the horses could not withstand it. Now that they were the first to go ashore, what about Tubo's team? They had already swum two-thirds of the way back.
Are you sure the horses can still carry you so far? Can the horses continue to run if they swim up?
"Come, bring some bows and arrows back. Brothers, help me carry the bag and swim to the front. Bring the horses too. I'll swim back later."
The person who shot the arrow first had an idea again. He called dozens of people and swam back with bows and arrows.
They wanted to go back to block. Go back first and see if the enemy would turn back.
They turned back on the shore and shot a few arrows each. It was like shooting a fixed target.
Their horses also had to turn back. The Winged Knights next to them grabbed the reins, and the horses understood.
Xiahou Jing's team went ashore first. They threw down their bags, got on their horses with bows and arrows, and chased downstream.
Tubo's people were really panicking this time. There was nowhere to hide. They were in the water, about two hundred feet away from the front and four hundred feet away from the back.
Even if they swam to the middle, it was less than a hundred steps. The only thing they could rely on was the water. Once they sank into the water, the arrows would lose their power.
Although the enemy's arrows might not be accurate at seventy or eighty steps, there were many of them. If one arrow could not hit, they could shoot a few more.
The only thing they could do was to bring the horses and swim faster, hoping that they would deviate.
They would deviate to the back. This way, the people who came ashore would not be able to catch up with them.
As they swam, the horses could not take it anymore. One after another, after their heads entered the water, they could no longer raise their heads. Their bodies began to fall horizontally, bobbing up and down with the water.
The people held the horses' corpses and paddled with all their might. The people on the shore in front kept shooting arrows.
One after another, they were shot. Once they were shot, they would not recover.
The only part of their body that could be above the water was their upper body. Usually, when they saw the arrows coming, their heads would sink.
It was impossible for people who did not know how to swim to sink as soon as they lowered their heads.
If they felt that their heads were in the water, they would hide. In fact, the back of their heads, necks, and backs were very close to the water.
If they were hit by an arrow, they would choke on water. In addition to the pain, there was only one result.
After a quarter of an hour, the people who returned to the shore did not shoot any arrows. They sat down to rest.
The enemy was dead. What should they do next? Should they go over or return with the team?
At this time, the people on the opposite shore shouted, "Take a break and swim over. The horses can't swim anymore today. Take a break …"
They shouted back, "Got it ~ ~"
They thought it through. Indeed, the Tubo people did not cherish the horses. They had to protect them well.
"It's a pity that so many horses drowned." The first person who shot the arrows felt sorry for the horses.
"What can we do? If the Tubo people also knew how to swim, it would be difficult for us to catch up. Thank you to Li Dongzhu for letting us train in the Ba River when we have nothing to do. "
The person next to him gasped. After swimming in the water and running on the shore, it was tiring.
However, he was glad that Li Dongzhu had trained him and the others to know everything. Usually, he did not feel that it was a big deal.
Today was the critical moment. Look, if you were good in the water, you could bully others.
