Chapter 181: Ambush
People who have no habits can not be acquainted, and they are not affectionate. Shen Du agreed with this sentence, but when he saw the countless medicine bags piled up next to Zhong Di, he still couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.
"These are all medicinal materials that I want to bring with Jingzhao, and they are all indispensable!" Zhong Di was holding a medicine bag in one hand, as if he was afraid that Shen Du would snatch his treasure.
......Seeing him like this, Shen Du was speechless for a while. He couldn't understand how Zhong could pack so many medicine bags in just one night.
Of course, he wouldn't snatch these things, but it was impossible for him to carry so many medicine bags on the road, and even if twenty tiger-mounted soldiers could get these things off, it would slow down the march. When they returned to Jingzhao, every second was also a matter of time.
"These medicine bags, I will have someone specially escort them to Jingzhao, and Mr. should travel lightly. Otherwise, the soldiers will be rough along the way, and I don't know how much they will lose. Shen Du said.
He knew what Zhong Di cared about, as long as it was for medicine, Zhong Yi would agree to anything.
"Oh...... All right. Then I'll bring these packets of medicinal herbs, and the rest must be sent to Jingzhao neatly. Zhong Qi said with a staggered voice, and looked up at Shen Du sadly.
The young man in front of him seemed to hold his seven inches, and the words he said always made him unable to refuse.
Ye Ran, who was beside Shen Du, saw Zhong Di's eyes, and felt a chill, an old man, still complaining, it was too weird! He turned sideways and looked at Shen Du: This person is okay, right? Can it really save adults?
Shen Du nodded in response to Ye Ran's question, and then admonished, "Ah Ran." Along the way, no matter what happens, the first thing you want to protect is Mr. Zhong, don't forget! ”
Ye Ran nodded heavily, Doctor Zhong is in danger of being an adult, even if Shen Du doesn't remind him, Ye Ran knows it.
"Let's go! Leave for Jingzhao now! Seeing that Yi Qiē was ready, Shen Du said this, and moved Qingcong.
He said goodbye to Lu Ju'an and the county lord of Changyi early in the morning. The two of them also knew that time was urgent. did not retain Shen Du, and he never said much about greetings, only said that if it is useful, he will go all out.
That's it. Shen Du and Ye Ran and his entourage only stayed in Runzhou for one night. Left early the next morning. Towards Jingzhao galloped back.
The Tiger Ben soldiers and the secret guards rested for a night, and it was the time to be in good spirits, but because of the consideration of Zhong Di's situation. They were much slower than they came.
It was not until the evening of the second day that they arrived at Beshan, where the borders of Jiankang and Henan were met. As long as you cross the other mountains and travel for two hours, it is where Xinyangwei is stationed, which is where Shen Du and his party plan to stay overnight.
They took the military road, and there were many post stations along the way, but because the mountain was close to Xinyangwei, and the mountain was full of dense forests and weeds, there were no post stations before and after.
According to Shen Du's expectations, they should have entered Xinyangwei at the time of unitary, but because of Zhong Qi, it was still delayed for two or three hours.
Although the speed of the Tiger Ben soldiers has slowed down, for ordinary people, especially for Zhong Qi, who is nearly fifty years old, such a riding speed is still too fast! It was so fast that Zhong Di's legs were trembling.
Zhong is also a strange person, although his speed is much slower than that of the Tiger Ben soldiers, he gritted his teeth and held on, and did not ask for a break halfway. He wanted to hold on to Xinyangwei, but when he came to Beesan, he finally asked to stop, because he had bruises on both sides of his thighs, and as long as he moved quickly, it would hurt hotly.
In such a situation, he must immediately collect medicine to compress his wounds, otherwise he will not have to ride again for the next few days.
"Sir, thank you for your hard work...... Shen Du said, feeling ashamed and admiring Zhong in his heart.
Zhong Yan's pants on both sides of his thighs were worn, and he couldn't walk very well, but he didn't stop until he was in another mountain. It's all about rushing. In order to shorten the time to return to Jingzhao, even if you are unwell, you can't stop galloping.
Shen Du lowered his eyelids, he had nothing to say, he could only rush, or rush!
"It's okay, Lao Chai Zhirou, I can't stand this bump, just apply the medicine." Zhong said indifferently, applying the mashed herbs to the sides of his thighs, and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
Shen Du was about to reply, but suddenly his expression froze, and at this time, Ye Ran, who was beside Zhong Di, suddenly pulled out his sword, and said in a deep voice: "Ah Shen! ”
Shen Du didn't have time to think about it, he immediately pursed his lips and let out two short cries, which were the vigilant voices of the Tiger Ben soldiers, alerting everyone to danger and preparing everyone - including the Shen family's secret guards, of course.
I saw that the twenty tiger soldiers immediately drew the long knives at their waists, and all of them looked at the dense forest in front of them with wary expressions, and they all noticed that the tremor in the air was there.
Immediately after, the air seemed to be torn apart, and a sharp arrow broke through the air, and the extremely fine buzz sounded above Shen Du's head like "boom" thunder and lightning.
Bow and arrow! The people who ambushed were the first to use bows and arrows!
The moment the first arrow appeared, the tiger soldiers put down the long knife in their hands, turned over and dismounted neatly, and then touched under the horse's belly, and a pair of bows and crossbows appeared in their hands.
Kneeling, aiming, and buckling the crossbow, these actions are done in one go, like flowing water. In the blink of an eye, the Tiger Ben soldiers had already "swished" a few arrows.
Bows and arrows, these twenty tiger soldiers also have them, and they are the latest developed by the Crossbow Workshop Department, and they have not yet submitted the horned bows and crossbows to the arsenal of the Weiwei Temple!
The horn bow crossbow is between the hand crossbow and the long crossbow, it is a light bow and crossbow, which is intended to be used by the Crossbow Workshop Department to equip the cavalry, and Shen Du insisted on borrowing twenty from the Crossbow Workshop Department as a "Tiger Ben Zhonglang General" in case of emergency.
These bows and crossbows that had already been installed under the horse's belly, as well as the speed of the previous tiger soldiers, were all done by Shen Du cautiously, and now, they can really be used!
As he said to Gu Yan, he believed that someone would definitely intercept him halfway, and someone would want his father to die. Since it is not blocking when it comes, it must be an ambush in the loop. He had foreseen this and made sufficient preparations.
These people who dare to intercept the way will let them be the first to experience the power of the horned bow and crossbow, and let them kill one by one, and kill two and a pair like Ye Ran said!
The bows and arrows shot from the dense forest in front of them continued, and the horned bows and crossbows of the tiger soldiers did not stop, and the bows and arrows of the two sides collided halfway, and they fell down one after another, as if the arrows were raining.
Under such circumstances, Shen Du gave Ye Ran a look, then took the sword and moved quickly and carefully towards the dense forest in front of him. He wanted to see how many people were in the dense forest ahead, what the situation was, and how to destroy these people!
Moving beside Shen Du were the secret guards of the Shen family. This time, there were not many secret guards going south, and there were also twenty people. Some of them went to protect Zhong Di, and some of them followed Shen Du inseparably.
Shen Du only moved a few steps, and there were a few "whoosh" sounds, and the bow and arrow came towards him with a cold murderous aura, this murderous aura and strength were much more powerful than those arrows rain bows and arrows, obviously someone deliberately stared at Shen Du.
Shen Du swung his sword to block these bows and arrows, his face became even heavier, his footsteps moved faster, and he jumped over almost without touching the flowers and leaves, and this strange body caused all the bows and arrows that flew over him to miss.
On the other side of the dense forest, Liu Ji was masked, a pair of eagle eyes tightly grabbed Shen Du's figure, and suddenly released another arrow. This time it was more accurate, and the arrows cut through Shen Du's clothes, but they still couldn't hurt him in the slightest!
Judging from these arrows, Liu Ji knew that the young Tiger Ben Zhonglang would be terrible, and he was still injured, and the bow and arrow could not hurt him. Such a person must be treated with twelve points of spirit.
As the most relied on dead soldier of Chengguo Gong Qinyi, Liu Ji was the leader of this Beishan ambush, he took ten dead soldiers, and more than 20 guards in the mansion, and also united the guards of the other two Guogong Mansions, a total of more than 60 people, intercepted Shen Du and his party here in Beishan, and vowed to destroy Shen Du and the doctor here!
Liu Ji thought about stopping Shen Du and his party when they went south, but Shen Du's speed was too fast, and he was worried that the Shen family still had a back, so in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, they ambushed here in Beishan.
Although he had thought that this ambush would not be easy, Liu Ji still did not expect that it would be so difficult! Because the Tiger Ben soldiers also had bows and arrows, and their crossbow arrows were much better than the bows and arrows on his side.
It was because he brought more archers than tiger soldiers, but the two sides became horns, and no one could suppress anyone. In this way, you can only fight close to the body to win.
Liu Ji gestured to Tian Zhan, signaling him to take five dead soldiers to kill Ye Ran, while he took another person, carrying a big knife, and approached Shen Du in a few leaps.
A fight started between Liu Ji and Shen Du. In fact, it is not appropriate to say that they are not right, because Shen Du was injured, more precisely, this is a fight between the dead soldiers of the Chengguo Mansion and the secret guards of the Shen family.
For the sake of their respective missions, the two sides fought silently but firmly. There were constantly people with swords, blood kept flowing out, and in the dense forests of other mountains, a strong smell of blood gradually filled the air.
In the middle of the dense forest, there was a cry of pain, which someone couldn't help but make. Because of the special identities of the warring parties, more often than not, there is only the sound of swords and swords in the forest.
I don't know how long it took, the rain of arrows in the dense forest stopped, and the fighting between the two sides slowed down. By this time, the sky had completely darkened, and the faint light of the crescent moon could not illuminate the situation in the dense forest.
Only the corpses that fell to the ground knew what was happening here.
It was in the darkness of the night that the sound of "rustling" footsteps sounded, and it sounded as if many people were approaching the center of the battle.
