Chapter 348: Horizontal Knife Immediately
The hammer that rushed down from the top of the sand dunes was stupid, Zhang Liang and the others at the top of the sand dunes behind him were also stupid, and the thousands of Qin army soldiers under the sand dunes were also stupid.
"Who dares to attack Your Majesty, listen to my orders, and release the arrows!" Meng Tian drew his sword and pointed at the assassin on the mountainside of the sand dunes.
Each of the soldiers of the Meng family army carried a pair of crossbows with them, and after the general's order, everyone took off the bows and crossbows they were carrying behind them, and then loaded their arrows and shot them at the assassins on the sand dunes.
"Mr. Zhang Liang, what is the matter now?" Mr. Xiang asked Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang didn't expect that his judgment would be wrong, and he would put his people in a life-and-death dilemma. "Now it seems that we can only retreat first, and then we will talk about it after we get out of here. ”
The cavalry of the Qin army on the road below has already begun to move, surrounding this sand dune from two directions, if you don't hurry up, I'm afraid you won't be able to walk if you want to go a little later.
Seeing that he had not been able to hit the car of the emperor Yingzheng, Madhammer was angry, he was not a very smart person, but he also understood the truth of being entrusted with loyalty. Zhang Liang gave him gold and silver, so that his family could live a good life, he had no worries, and he had been exposed, and he couldn't escape at all. It is better to take advantage of the situation to rush down and create chaos for the Qin army, so as to buy Zhang Liang and the others some time to escape.
Thinking of this, the Hammer shouted loudly, like a thunderbolt exploding in the sky during the day, and then his whole body jumped up and rushed from the top of the sand dunes towards the Qin army team below.
"Father. Meng Tianci rode to Meng Tian's side, and looked at the burly assassin who rushed down from the top of the sand dune, and was already fighting with Pang Fei, who was catching up.
Meng Tian's attention was not on the assassin who rushed down, since the other party chose the place of Bolangsha to start, then he must have known the route of this eastern tour and planned it. Now there was only one person, and I am afraid that there were other Assassins hiding in the vicinity. Since the reeds on the other side of the road have been carefully searched, there must be people in the sand dunes on the other side.
Meng Tian said calmly: "God, you go to Your Majesty's car to protect Your Majesty and many ministers. Today, I am afraid that there is more than one Assassin, and the father led someone to capture the rest of the Assassins. ”
"Father, let me take someone with you, it is important to protect Your Majesty's safety, and the child will definitely be able to catch these deadly assassins. Meng Tianci said to his father.
Meng Tian shook his head at Meng Tianci and said: "It is precisely because of the importance of protecting Your Majesty that I have entrusted such an important task to you, remember, no matter what, you can leave Your Majesty's side for half a step, this is a military order!"
Seeing that his father had issued a military order, Meng Tianci, as a member of the Meng family's army, naturally could not disobey his father's order, so he had to say: "The child obeys the order." ”
In the distance, Pang Fei and that assassin had already fought dozens of moves, and that assassin fought back and forth with Pang Fei with his incomparable strength and strength. Although Pang Fei was inferior to his opponent in terms of strength, his mind was much brighter than that of his opponent, and he did not engage in hard-to-head combat with the opponent at all, gradually gaining the upper hand, and it was only a matter of time before he defeated this assassin.
"Go, follow me to chase the remaining assassins, don't let one of them go!" Meng Tian grabbed the belly of his horse and took the lead in rushing towards the sand dunes, followed by hundreds of elite soldiers of the Meng family army on horseback.
Meng Tian rode a horse and led people to outflank from the other side of the dunes, and the Qin army that had already rushed over before was galloping towards the distance at this time, and the Qin army who stayed behind the team saw the general leading people to arrive, and reported to Meng Tian: "General, the assassin was found in the front, and the other party seemed to be prepared and fled on horseback." ”
"Chase, you can't let any of them go!" Meng Tian raised his horsewhip, whipped it on the buttocks of the war horse under his crotch, and then chased after the Qin army in front.
Zhang Liang knew whether the operation was successful or not, and how to leave Bolangsha after success was the most important, so he made a lot of preparations. Horses were prepared early under the sand dunes to facilitate escape, so after the assassination of Ying Zheng failed, Zhang Liang and the others were not so panicked, and rode on their horses and left quickly.
As early as when the Hammer appeared on the top of the sand dunes, the Mengjia Army's iron guards had already noticed it, but before they could warn Meng Tian, the Hammer had already thrown the hammer in his hand. After the appearance of the hammer, Tie Wei also discovered Zhang Liang and others hidden behind the sand dunes, knowing that these people must be the accomplices of the assassin, so Tie Wei directly chased after him in secret, and pursued Zhang Liang and others who fled together with the Qin army who came after outflanking.
Looking at the Qin soldiers and horses who were chasing after them, everyone who fled forward was secretly not good. The speed of the Qin army was something they didn't expect, and they didn't blame it, compared to the cavalry on the battlefield, the Qin army that followed Yingzheng on patrol at this time was more elite than the cavalry on the battlefield, and the war horses they rode were also one of the best horses in a hundred. Since the Qin State dominated the world, there was also a law to control strategic resources such as horses, stipulating that the people were not allowed to raise war horses. And the horses ridden by Zhang Liang and the others were naturally far less than the speed of the horses ridden by the pursuers behind them.
"The Qin soldiers behind are chasing closer and closer, and if we continue like this, we will be caught up by them sooner or later. Mr. Xiang rode on his horse, and when he turned around, he saw the cavalry of the Qin army less than five miles behind him, if he got closer, I am afraid that these cavalry would attack them with bows and arrows.
Hearing this, Zhang Liang also turned his head and glanced behind him, there were too many places he hadn't counted today, and almost every place could be said to be their fatality.
"Rest assured, since everyone is willing to follow Zhang Liang to assassinate the sky, then Zhang Liang will naturally be responsible for everyone's safety. All you have to do is ride forward, and there will be our answering person in front of you. ”
Hearing Zhang Liang say that there was someone answering in front, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and slapped the horse's buttocks hard. That Mr. Xiang looked at Zhang Liang and wanted to ask something, but in the end he didn't speak.
"General, the Assassins are ahead. Meng Tian rode up from behind, and Kong Hui, the deputy general of the forbidden army, who had been chasing the assassin in front, said to Meng Tian.
Meng Tian didn't stop, and nodded at Kong Hui, "Keep chasing, don't let go of a person." ”
"No. ”
As the distance got closer, after the Assassins in front of them continued to run some distance, the Qin soldiers had already chased after the range of their bows and arrows on horseback. Just as a Praetorian soldier was about to shoot an arrow from an assassin in front of him, a man dressed in black suddenly appeared on the road in front of him.
The man held a spear in his hand, and it was thick, almost as thick as a child's arm. The soldier of the forbidden army who was chasing the front on horseback was in a trance, and his war horse was already about to crash into the body of this uninvited guest, only to see the man in black raise the spear in his hand, flashed sideways, and the spear slammed on the side of the war horse. A huge force came, and the galloping horse neighed, and then lay heavily on the ground, and the Praetorian soldier above was killed almost instantly.
The Praetorian soldiers who followed him re-grasped the spear that hung from the horse's belly, and the spear pointed directly at the mysterious man in black.
The man in black saw the Qin army rushing on horseback, but he didn't see how he moved, and used the same trick to kill two soldiers of the forbidden army, and the three horses and the corpses of their masters lay across the road, blocking the pace of the pursuers behind.
The man in black killed three forbidden soldiers in a row, and for a moment the momentum was incomparable, shocking the pursuing forbidden soldiers, and everyone stopped advancing until Meng Tian led people to chase after him from behind.
"Why don't you continue to chase?" Kong Hui asked his men who stayed here as he rode forward.
A forbidden soldier said to him: "General Qiqi, such a person rushed out of nowhere, killed our three brothers in one go, and stopped us here. The subordinates did not dare to act rashly, and hoped that the general would forgive their sins. ”
After hearing this, Kong Hui was angry, and a group of elite soldiers of the Great Qin Empire were so frightened by one person that they didn't dare to move forward, and if it was spread out, it wouldn't lose the face of the forbidden army in the palace.
"How many of you, how many people are on the other side, are you so afraid of death?" Kong Hui was a little annoyed, after all, Meng Tian was still by his side, which made him a little embarrassed.
Meng Tian hadn't spoken since he came here, he just looked at the man in black who was holding a spear and blocking the middle of the road alone, this person gave him a somewhat familiar feeling, but he couldn't be sure who this person was.
Ever since Meng Tian appeared, the eyes of the man in black had been staring at him. It can be said that he came specifically for Meng Tian this time, Zhang Liang originally had no plan to let him come with him, and he didn't want to come, but after learning that Meng Tian accompanied Ying Zheng on patrol this time, he said that he would come with him. Later, Zhang Liang couldn't stand his verbosity, so he had to arrange for him to answer here, and if he didn't agree, then he would not be allowed to participate in this operation.
"Is it Meng Tian of the Qin Kingdom?" the loud voice of the man in black sounded.
Meng Tian was stunned for a moment, how could he feel that this person was coming for him?
"Yes, I'm Meng Tian, who are you? You dare to stop us alone, don't you want to live?" asked Meng Tian on his horse.
"Hahaha......" The man in black laughed loudly, and then reached out and pulled the black robe on his body, showing his appearance under Qin Jun's nose. "Do you remember who I am?"
Seeing the true face of the man in black, Meng Tian recognized this person at a glance. After all, the two of them had fought against each other a few times before, and for this opponent who was younger than him, Meng Tian naturally wouldn't forget it so easily.
"Chu State, Xiang Family, Xiang Yu. A few words popped out of Meng Tian's mouth.
"Yes, it's me, the most wanted criminal in your Qin State, Xiang Yu of the Xiang clan of the Chu State. Xiang Yu smiled slightly, then suddenly waved the spear in his hand, pointed at Meng Tian and said.
"Do you dare to fight me again today?"
