BXBX NOVEL Chapter Volume 18 5 part3
Sensitively aware of the black arrows coming from the side of the hillside, he led a group of men to run out of the mountain village and chase them. However, under Yu Lang’s powerful arrow attack no one dare to hold a torch and hunt the enemy in the dark at night in an unfamiliar terrain, like a half-blind man, Yu Lang shot one at random, further increasing their fear in the dark.
For a short while, they dare not to rush forward.
Yu Lang looks coldly at the raging fire in the mountain village and draws his arrows again, but this time he only draw one, he narrows his eyes and looks into the distance for a long time, and then suddenly turns his head and smiles gently. “He’s so clever that when he came out, he unexpectedly knew to protect his body with shields”
Lie’er’s face change slightly, only then did he knew that Yu Lang is planning to shoot Yong Yi. Yu Lang is determined and never discouraged. Seeing that Yong Yi is on guard, he immediately returns to Lie Er. He tied Lie Er firmly to his back with the cloth rope just now, carrying a bow and arrow in his hand.
Lie Er sees that at this time, he wants to bring himself regardless of life and death, he doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and says coldly, “If you bear the burden of me, you can never escape Yong Yi’s siege.”
Yu Lang smiles unfathomably, points at his lips and let out a sharp and strange wistle.
When the whistling sound entered the forest, there’s a movement in a moment. The dark forest seem to make sounds everywhere, and Lie Er tightened his nerves and soon he heard the sound of the horseshoes stepping on the dirt, in surprise, he sees two black horses running out of the forest like a whirlwind, head up straight the hill and stop beside Yu Lang, hissing affectionately.
Both of them are white, brave and good foals, and both are saddled.
Yu Lang turned a deaf ear to the approaching sound of hunting and says calmly, “I have kept these good horses on the mountain for a long time and they will come as soon as they are trained. if I choose this mountain village to hide, I will order my men to saddle them every day. There were originally six horses like this, but it seemed that the other four failed to break through the ambush in the forest.” With that he coldly sneer. “Well, at least it let me know which direction has the least ambush.”
At this point the enemy on the front of the hillside has approached carefully, Yu Lang hangs his bow and arrow on the saddle and get on the horse. Although he’s carrying Lie Er, his movement is still very flexible. As soon as he pulled the rein, he rush in the direction the horse was coming.
The fact that the horse can break through from there show that the ambush is the weakest.
Yu Lang and Lieer shared a horse, and the remaining one ran wildly along with his four hoofs, in a twinkling of an eye, he rush down the slope, and as soon as he entered the dense forest, the branches and leaves of the big trees blocked the moonlight, and his vision is even darker.
A little deeper into the forest, the ambush appear.
The yell and murderous sound suddenly appear, the soldiers and horses in ambush rushed out from behind the tree, right in front of Yu Lang, the first one who looks like a low-rank general, draws his sword and shouts, “Who is it? Stop! His Highness Yong Yi command those who hand over Young Master Lie Er will not be killed!”
Yu Lang is secretly pleased that Yong Yi’s fear of Lie’er’s safety was exactly what he wanted, otherwise, when they saw someone riding, he would have been shot down a long ago.
Hearing the general’s shout, Yu Lang not only doesn’t slow down, but also urges the horse to let go of its four hoofs and rush towards the soldiers with the blades, running wildly while making extremely realistic screams, “i’m your people, don’t shot! We were ambushed in the mountain village, His Highness Yong Yi was shot dead by a traitor, and everything is over! ”
Seeing that Yu Lang doesn’t listen to the warning, the general was about to give orders to release the arrow when he was stunned when he heard the speech. According to Yong Yi’s instructions, he led these men and horses to ambush in the forest, and saw the raging fire and screaming in the mountain village, but the light in the forest was dim and it’s difficult to see Yu Lang’s clothes, so it’s difficult to tell the difference between the enemy and friend.
Yu Lang suddenly shouted like this, half-belief half-doubt, Inevitably hesitate a little.
It’s just that in such a moment of hesitation, Yu Lang who has increased the horse’s speed to the limit has rushed through an open space, escaped from the distance where he most easily shot, and broke into the opponent’s formation.
When he got close, his appearance and dress appeared slightly and the general is shocked, he takes a step back and shouts loudly, “You are not …”
The sword has just been lifted and there’s a sudden coldness on the neck and the head with horrified eyes fell to the ground.
Yu Lang ends the other general with a sword and while everyone had not yet responded, he slaughtered like a tiger run into a herd of sheep. Relying on the advantage of riding on the horse, he slashed everyone and shouts, “His Highness is dead anyway, we can’t live anymore, let’s be buried together!” There’s no hesitation in raising his sword and when the words landed, several people have become ghosts who died unjustly under his sword.
Those Yong Yin soldiers are originally well trained and not so vulnerable, but the general is killed and so the army is in chaos.
Moreover, according to the usual rules, if the royal family was killed, most of the followers will be severely punished for inadequate guarding. Hearing Yu Lang scream so loudly, facing Yu Lang’s bloody sword, how could these ordinary soldiers have any fighting spirit and even raise their swords, there is no courage to even raise a sword, let alone to besiege Yu Lang.
From the beginning up to now, Yu Lang has not restricted the horse’s speed and let the horse run and trample in the enemy formation, wielding and killing wantonly all the way, there’s a dripping path on both sides of the horse and he breaks out.
Within a short while, Yu Lang successfully rushed out of the rear of the enemy’s line with a disdainful smile on his face, leaving behind the weak troops of Yong Yi’s that ambush all over the place and he runs into the depths of the dense forest.
Lie Er is tied behind Yu Lang, watching him rush into the battlefield like this, he marveled that this man is not chaotic in the face of the danger, and his martial arts is really extraordinary.
He can’t help but admire, the crisis is even bigger, impossible to get rid of.
Ruo Yan has such a person who risk his life to assist him, it will definitely pose a great threat to the Great King and Duke Ming in the future.
If Yong Yi succeed in capturing him this time, it will undoubtedly remove a big problem for Xirei.
If he’s captured, there is no possibility of surrender, the only end is…
Lie Er thinks more and more chaotic, the horse shuttles through the forest, the four hoofs seem to step on their hearts.
But with Yu Lang’s pride, once he captured, he would rather die than surrender. He looked down at the horse which had been spattered with a lot of blood and his clothes were stained with a lot of other people’s blood, he frowns painfully.
Does he want him to be captured by Yong Yi, or does he want him to escape?
When he’s feeling full of sadness, there’s a sudden movement in the deep forest on the right. Lie Er is suddenly alert and looks up.
There’s a faint flicker of light in the distance, it seems as if the hunts are closing in quickly.
Yu Lang also notices, and he laughs, “Do they only know to chase after me now?” He kicks the horse belly hardly.
The horse gave a long hiss and galloped again.
At this time it’s the darkest time and it’s even more difficult to see in the forest. But this horse has been playing in the forest all the times and is very familiar with the terrain, it doesn’t need to be reined by Yu Lang, it can dodge flexibly in the forest.
However, the chasers obviously have good horses, they light the torches and don’t have to worry about their sight, so they chase after them all the way.
The clear roar of horseshoes and the flare of fire follow each other like the shadows.
The two sides run away and chase each other, the distance can’t be approached and they temporarily stalemate. But everyone knows that Yu Lang bear two people on one horse, sooner or later his speed will slow down.
Lie’er is tied by the cloth rope and he has no strength, his chest is completely attached to Yu Lang’s back.
Yu Lang’s heartbeat and the familiar smell of his body, as well as the changes of his every back muscles when he’s riding the horse, are passing through the clothes in a real and touching way.
The whistling wind in his ears as if to sing a sad and desolate elegy.
Lie Er suddenly remembered that he seemed to have had such a dream.
Dreaming of abandoning everything, at the expense of treason, escape to faraway places with Yu Lang.
Dreaming that no matter how many chasing troops, they will never give up. Under the moon, in the dark forest, the two rode together, their bodies close to each other, breathing each other’s air, constantly running away to a place where no one knew them. What a desperate passion.
The passion is gone, and it’s a pity that he still remembers.
The sound of horseshoes again came in the front, indicating that another chaser is running towards them.
When Yu Lang directed the horse to the south and pulled the reins, the horse which has been running for a long time, gives a sigh of reluctance, the four feet are no longer as robust as they used to be.
Liet’s heart sink tremblingly.
Yu Lang’s defeat is probably in no time.
“Yu Lang, cut the rope, you can escape by yourself.” Lie Er harshly says, “After meeting Yong Yi, I will ask him to stop chasing after you and let you go alive. This is the last time I help you and from then on we no longer have any relationship.”
“Lie Er, listen… ” Yu Lang suddenly whispers in a joyful tone.” It’s the sound of water, and the current is still strong.”
Behind them the two chaser teams had joined together, the roaring hoof become more and more pressing, the fire is shaken and tracked in the forest, like a flaming mouth ready to swallow up the powerless two together at any time.
The sound of the water in front was getting louder and louder, it seems that Li stream in the forest is not far away.
Yu Lang sees the speed of the horses slow down and the distance between the two sides gradually narrowed, knowing that the situation is at stake, he’s gritting his teeth, relying on the excellent horse-riding technique, he loosen the reins to free his hands, took out the bows and arrows hanging on the horse’s side, he turns his head and looking back with a sharp glance, the goal is instantly set on the first four people with torches.
Shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo.
Yu Lang bends sideways, and in a moment the four arrows coming out of the string.
“Ah!”
The screams and horses’ hiss sound at the same time.
Yu Lang is carrying Lie Er on his back which hinder his skill after all, not to mention the horse running at high speed. Four arrows goes out and only three men are shot. One arrow swindle the target and is shot on the horse.
Even so, it’s enough to cause a moment of confusion in the chaser troops in the rear, not to mention that the four torches that lead the way fall on the side of the road, the speed of the chaser has to be slowed down when the front sight is blocked.
Yu Lang uses his extraordinary courage and ability to usher in this precious turning point for himself, while desperately plotting his horse, not forget to turn back and shoots, in the screams, the chaser troops fall off the horse one after another.
Suddenly, the distance between him and the chaser troops again widened.
But the horse’s physical strength has almost reached its limit, and at the most critical juncture, a small soil slope appears in front of them. The sound of the water is coming from over there, Yu Lang is in high spirits and so he urges his horse to the soil slope. The chaser troops behind have also heard the sound of water, and from the distance they see Yu Lang struglling towards slope. Their eyesight is slightly clear, they suddenly realized that he’s going to escape by the water and they’re very anxious, “Don’t let him escape!”
After chasing in the middle of the night and shot by Yu Lang’s fierce arrow, they thought that once Yu Lang jumped into the water and went with the stream, the difficulty of chasing would be greatly increased, many people are anxious and they can’t help but shoot up the slope.
They’re behind Yu Lang and their archery is ten times more convenient than Yu Lang, one person versus a hundreds of people, the arrows break through the wind in an instant.
Yu Lang the single rider has just rushed up the dirt slope and the speed of the tired horse is slightly reduced, he is in the greatest danger of exposing his back, Lie Er heard the rustle of the wind behind him and an arrow swish past his ear, he doesn’t have time to blink, there’s a sudden dull pain in his back, he must have been shot in the back but blocked by phoenix armor.
“No arrows!” Yong Yi’s roar come from behind.
At this time, Yu Lang’s body is stagnated in mid-air, the hoarse break out a cry of pain and he fell off the horse.
Lie Er is shocked.
Lie Er and Yu Lang were tied together and they roll down from the slope together, the sky spins and the earth goes round, don’t know how many scratches their hands and feet have before finally stop at the bottom of the slope.
(t/n: 天旋地转 the sky spins, the earth goes round (idiom); giddy with one’s head spinning)
