"Ta-"
In the dark night, the sound of horse hooves was particularly obvious.
When they arrived at a forest, Xue Li noticed that there were traces of troops passing by. The nearby grass was clearly trampled, and there were quite a number of them. There were probably two to three thousand of them.
"Phew! Phew!"
"All troops, halt your advance!"
"What is it, Hundred Generals?"
"We've almost found the direction. There's no need to advance anymore.”
Xue Li held the Flood Dragon Silver Halberd in his hand as he looked around and analyzed the situation seriously.
If there were two or three thousand cavalry in front of them, they might be able to find an ambush if they continued to pursue. After all, the movement of a hundred cavalry at the same time was too loud, and it was almost impossible to hide.
Moreover, even if they managed to rescue Meng Tian from the encirclement, if they did not leave behind a backup plan, it would be difficult for them to escape.
Xue Li pondered for a moment and made a decision in his heart.
"Set up a diversion here. I'll personally go and check the road ahead.”
"Alone?"
"Yeah, if I'm alone, I'll be a small target and won't be discovered by the Zhao army. Moreover, the Night Lion is extremely fast, no one can stop me if I want to leave.”
Xue Li nodded and said.
If the situation allowed, he wouldn't mind charging forward and destroying the formation of the Zhao army.
He would give Meng Tian a chance to break out, but if the situation did not allow it, Xue Li would not rush forward. He would definitely choose to retreat first and then think about it further.
After all, challenging two to three thousand Zhao cavalry at the same time was no joke.
Not to mention, there were also many generals of the State of Zhao. If there were too many of them, it would bring him a lot of trouble.
"Yes."
"Wait for my news here."
“......”
Xue Li pulled the reins, and the Night Illumination Jade Lion turned into a silver light and dashed out like a bolt of lightning.
Its speed was so fast that most warhorses could not catch up to it.
After advancing for another ten miles in the northeast direction, Xue Li noticed that there seemed to be white waves appearing in a certain direction. There were about five hundred people, and they were Zhao infantry!
"Those riding white horses, stop!"
One of the 500 Lords of Zhao rode forward and shouted.
They were responsible for guarding this direction. According to the orders of Sima Shang, the vice-commander of the State of Zhao, they were to prevent Meng Tian from breaking out from this direction.
Therefore, when he saw a stranger approaching, he immediately issued a warning. If he still dared to approach, then what awaited Xue Li would be a merciless rain of arrows, turning him into a sieve in an instant.
Looking at the hundreds of longbows aimed in his direction, Xue Li let the Night Jade Lion slow down.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
"I am Xue Li of Dragon Sect. I am just a nobody.”
" Dragon Sect's Xue Li?!"
"Hmm?"
"Hahaha! Looks like my luck is not bad. I've really searched for it everywhere, but it didn't take much effort to find it!”
The 500 Lords of the State of Zhao immediately threw their heads back and laughed loudly, as if they had encountered some treasure.
Seeing this scene, Xue Li's heart jumped, and he furrowed his brows tightly. A bad premonition rose in his heart. This seemed to be different from what he had expected.
Logically speaking, he was just a nameless soldier. His reputation had not spread, so no one should know him. Why did this 500 Lords of Zhao look at him like he was prey?
"More than half a month ago, when we were hunting down important figures of Great Qin!”
"According to the soldiers who returned, he was rescued by a white-robed general who called himself Dragon Sect's Xue Li.”
"Not only that, but you also killed our Zhao general. Our vice marshal has long issued an arrest warrant for you! He had to capture him alive and bring him back to the State of Zhao. If necessary, he could kill him on the spot!”
"If you capture him alive, you will be promoted by two ranks and rewarded with 100 gold coins. Kill the person and you will be promoted by one level and awarded 20 gold coins!”
“........”
In the eyes of the 500 Lords of the State of Zhao, he was extremely lucky.
Originally, it was just a hunting mission. Even if it was carried out perfectly, there would be no achievements. However, now they actually met a guy who had a hunting warrant, and the reward was not low.
If he could capture him alive, he could directly become a lieutenant and reach the heavens in one step!
As for whether he could escape?
What kind of joke was this? How could a cooked duck make him fly away?!
There were a hundred longbows aimed in his direction. If there was any movement, the 500 Lords of Zhao would rather kill him on the spot than allow him to escape.
“？”
A question mark slowly appeared.
Originally, Xue Li thought that he was not famous, so he reported his name without any burden.
Now, it seemed that because he saved Brother Zhao, he was directly blacklisted by the State of Zhao. It seemed that he had to be more careful in the future. This time, he suffered a loss in information.
The Zhao State infantry slowly approached, as if they were trying to capture Xue Li alive.
"In that case, get off your horse obediently."
Before the 500 Lords of the State of Zhao could finish speaking, Xue Li took out the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow from his bosom.
With the cover of the night, ten specially made arrows were shot out, all of which hit his body.
"Humble. Despicable."
"Plop!"
With a look of disbelief in his eyes, the body of the 500 Lords of the State of Zhao slowly fell to the ground, making a heavy sound.
There were 500 Zhao infantry in front of him, and there were more than 100 longbows. If he tried to act tough at this time, he would definitely suffer a lot, so Xue Li decisively chose to launch a sneak attack.
This was the law of war!
