Chapter 456: Attack on the Return Journey Five
"Yes! Thank you, Miss Biao! The guards replied in unison. ¥℉,
The guards were all hot in their hearts at this time, no one had ever thought about their safety before acting, and no one had ever cared so much about themselves. At this time, they had a common thought in their hearts, that is, they must not let Miss Biao get hurt, and they must send her home safely.
Fan Hai's eyes moistened in an instant, and there seemed to be a fire burning in his chest. However, his mind was unprecedentedly calm, he looked at the mountain road in front of him, and calmly gave the order: "Move forward quickly!" ”
As a result, the dust rose from the official road, the sound of horses' hooves echoed in the fields at dusk, and the birds resting on the trees on both sides of the official road were also frightened by the formation on the road, and flew into the distance with a scream.
Chai Xiaochun followed closely beside his father Chai Bin, his lips pursed, his hand tightly grasped a sword, his eyes stared at the front, driving the mount under him, and galloped forward without fear.
Chai Bin and Fan Hai drove their mounts to each side of the carriage, vigilantly watching the movements around them, not daring to be negligent.
"Drive!" Ren Baohe also realized that there might be danger ahead, and hurriedly drove the carriage forward with the escort who was galloping in front of him.
In the carriage, Li Ziyu took out grenades, darts and daggers from the dark compartment, gave Wang Qiuyue and Chai Xiaoxue a grenade each, and said, "Aunt Chai, just in case, you take it first, you will use it, right?" ”
Wang Qiuyue took the grenade, handed one to her daughter, and said, "Miss, you don't have to worry about us, you pay attention to your own safety, Xue'er and I will protect ourselves." Then, he quickly told Chai Xiaoxue in detail how to use the grenade.
Chai Xiaoxue listened carefully, and quickly learned, holding the grenade firmly in her hand, although her face was a little pale, her eyes were very firm.
Ao Nan and Gu Yun guarded one end of the carriage at the front and back, their right hands on the soft sword at their waists, listening intently to the movements around them.
Then. The cavalry guards in front had already reached the entrance of the pass, and while paying attention to the movements around them, they galloped at full speed. The carriage that followed closely behind also galloped into the valley without falling behind.
This pass is about 500 meters long. Steep cliffs on both sides. When the group was about to walk out of the valley, they suddenly rolled down countless huge stones from the cliff, and with a thunderous sound, they quickly blocked the front and back roads, sandwiching Li Ziyu and his party in the middle, unable to move.
Fan Hai and Chai Bin were all taken aback. Fan Hai hurriedly told his subordinates: "Some of the guards in front dismount and move away from the stones, and some of the guards pay attention to the overhead attack. ”
Before the words fell, I heard the sound of "snorting" bows and crossbows suddenly sounding from overhead, and countless arrows and arrows carried strong winds from the cliffs on both sides to the guards on horseback. The guards mounted on horses, shielding with one hand and swinging their swords with the other, trying to avoid the powerful edge of the bows. However, despite the shield cover, many people were injured in a hurry, and some even fell off their horses. Suddenly. The surrounding area was filled with flying sand and the pungent smell of blood, and the neighing of war horses, the low shouts of the guards, and the clashing of swords and arrows were intertwined, and the atmosphere was unprecedentedly tense and solemn.
Li Ziyu already knew the situation outside in the car, hurriedly lifted the curtain, and told Fan Hai and Chai Bin: "Quick, hurry up and tell everyone to cling to the cliff, go to a place where bows and arrows can't reach, and lead the horses over to minimize casualties." ”
"Yes!" Fan Hai hurriedly agreed, and loudly ordered the escort team to quickly hide their bodies and horses. The wounded were also urgently bandaged with the help of other guards, leaning against the cliff to hide their figures.
Li Ziyu also hurriedly took Wang Qiuyue and Chai Xiaoxue to get out of the carriage in the face of the constant **** arrows on the cliff, and Ao Nan and Gu Yun had already crossed the carriage for the first time and found a recess in front of the cliff. Let Li Ziyu and the three of them stand over.
Ren Baohe led the curly-haired lion and stood close to the cliff, there was nothing on the carriage now, and the sack containing the grenade was also carried by the proud man. Strangely, though, the bow and arrow seem to have eyes, and the target is always the guard. Li Ziyu and the carriage did not have a bow and arrow.
Fan Hai and Chai Bin came to Li Ziyu at a trott with the arrows that kept shooting down from the top of their heads, Chai Bin looked Li Ziyu up and down a few times, and hurriedly asked, "Miss, how are you?" ”
Li Ziyu shook his head and said in a deep voice: "I'm fine, Uncle Chai, Brother Fan, you two don't care about me, hurry up and organize the uninjured guards to prepare for the battle." Since their goal is me, there will definitely be a fight after the bow and arrow. I have arrogant men and lonely clouds here, and besides, I'm not a vegetarian. Hurry up and move the wounded guards to me, so that we can take care of each other together. ”
Fan Hai hesitated for a moment, but still firmly refused, and said, "No need, we will take you as the center to protect it, and others can't take care of it." Besides, the injuries are not serious, they are still combative, don't worry about them. ”
"No way!" Li Ziyu's face sank, and he said in a somewhat stern tone, "Don't leave a comrade-in-arms who fights side by side with you at any time, I don't know what you think in your heart, and I don't care about your code of conduct, now, carry out my order, and immediately move the wounded over, no mistake, do you hear?" ”
Li Ziyu's somewhat immature voice was particularly clear and loud on the official road where bows and arrows were becoming scarcer, and it also deeply touched everyone present, especially those guards.
Fan Hai only felt that his nose was sour, and his eyes were a little moist. How could he be willing to leave behind his subordinates, who shared his life and death? However, at all times in the past, it was centered on the masters, who would care about the life or death of a domestic slave? At this moment, Li Ziyu's stern voice was in his ears, and he felt that it was the most beautiful voice in the world. At this moment, he had a feeling of being willing to die for Li Ziyu even in an instant, a feeling of surrender and awe from the bottom of his heart, and a feeling of protecting her from being hurt at the risk of his life. This feeling he had never felt even in the old lady Fan Jingshu, which made his blood boil in an instant, and his body was full of infinite strength to defeat an enemy.
Fan Hai no longer hesitated, and immediately organized people to carry the injured guards to this side. The more seriously injured one was carried over, but the lightly injured guard refused to enter the protection center and said categorically: "What is this injury?" I can still kill the enemy, and I can protect Miss Cousin. ”
Li Ziyu said decisively: "Okay, don't argue, the bow and arrow have stopped, and there will be a battle in a while." You stand outside of us, and when the people outside can't stand it anymore, you go up again. Uncle Chai and Brother Fan, try not to fight with them, if they don't use bows and arrows, let's use grenades to greet them and strive for a quick victory. ”
"Yes!"
Li Ziyu and his party were divided into several layers, the innermost layer was Li Ziyu, Wang Qiuyue, Chai Xiaoxue and some seriously injured guards, the second layer was Ao Nan, Gu Yun, Chai Xiaochun, lightly injured guards and Ren Baohe who was leading the horse, and the third layer was the remaining guards led by Fan Hai and Chai Bin. Everyone formed a semi-arc with Li Ziyu as the center, waiting for the arrival of the enemy. (To be continued.) )
