Chapter 228: Attacking the Mountain
Ye Heju took out a parchment scroll and held it high: "There is an order from Kedun here, do you want the eldest prince to take a look?" ”
Yuwen Chengchao laughed out loud and said, "Ye Hu, if you can't get the order, I still think it's a little possible, but if you take it out, I don't believe it." ”
"Yuwen Chengchao, you are so bold." Ye Heju's face sank, and he said coldly: "Do you want to disobey the order of Kedun?" ”
"I am a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, but I don't need to respect the order of Kedun." Yuwen Chengchao also lowered his face: "Even if you really want to respect the order of Kedun, there should be someone else to pass the order, but you Ye He Yehu, I can't believe it." ”
Ye Heju threw away the sheepskin roll in his hand and sneered: "Since this is the case, I might as well tell you the truth." The death of the Khan is too strange, and although the people of Siyashi are detained and imprisoned, you are also very suspicious. This matter needs to be decided by the Heavenly Khan himself, and even Khatun cannot release you. If you are really innocent, you can go back with us, Tian Khan will send someone to investigate the truth of the murder of the Khan, if the truth is finally found out, the murderer is not you, we should send you back to the Tang Kingdom. ”
Yuwen Chengchao said: "If we don't go back, what should we do?" ”
"That's not up to you." Ye Heju said loudly: "Young Master Yuwen, you should know the strength of my Wutuo warriors, with your current strength, do you think you are our opponent?" ”
Yuwen Chengchao sighed: "Ye Heju, the king of Khan is alive, and he has friendly exchanges with my Tang Dynasty, but Kedun personally promised us to leave." Now that you are chasing after you with your troops, it is not only against the heart of the Khan, but also against the will of Kedun, it seems that you are going to rebel. ”
Ye Heju was stunned, his face became annoyed, and he said angrily: "Xiye didn't have the courage to murder King Khan, you are talking in the palace, but I have long seen through it, but I am unwilling to expose it in front of Kedun." You killed the King of Khan, and you still want to return to the Tang Kingdom safely, it is really wishful thinking. If I let you go, I will be disloyal to the Khan. Pulling out the scimitar, the blade pointed at Yuwen Chengchao on the mountain, and said sharply: "Yuwen Chengchao, if you are captured, you still have a chance to live, if you are stubborn, don't blame my Wutuo warrior scimitar ruthless!" ”
The Vedic cavalry brandished their sabers, and their mouths were all shouting, and the momentum was amazing for a while, and many people on the mountain looked at the fierce Vedic cavalry at the foot of the mountain, like wolves and tigers, and they were even more frightened.
Everyone also knows that the Vedas are not only numerous, but also brave and good at fighting, although temporarily using the geographical advantage to avoid the edge, but if the Vedas really attack, only this small mountain will not last long.
The Vedic people are brutal and ruthless, in the Vedic Rebellion, hundreds of people in Xiling died under the sabre of the Vedic people, if these people rush up, it is absolutely impossible for them to show mercy.
Yuwen Chengchao clenched the big knife in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Listen to it, the heart of the jackal of the Wutuo people, if they kill it, everyone will definitely die." It's better to fight to the death. ”
In fact, most of the people on the mountain did not have weapons, but when they heard Yuwen Chengchao say this, although many people were afraid in their hearts, they also felt that it was better to fight to the death with these Wutuo people than to sit and wait for death.
Being able to travel long distances to come to the Vedas, even if they are ordinary porters, their physique is also good, they occupy a favorable position on the top of the mountain at the moment, and they have also hoarded stones, and the Vedic soldiers really want to kill them, and they are not without resistance.
Yehju listened
Deyu Wen Chengchao shouted, his face was even more ugly, he sneered, turned his horse around, and made two gestures, the Wutuo cavalry put away his saber, took off the longbow on his back, bent the bow and arrows, and aimed it at the people on the mountain.
Qin Xiao saw the Wutuo people taking arrows, and immediately shouted: "Everyone be careful, they want to shoot arrows, hurry up and find a place to cover." "But he was holding a knife to protect Tang Rong and the white shopkeeper.
"Whoosh!"
Ye Heju waved his hand, and hundreds of arrows had burst out, like locusts sweeping through.
Several screams rang out, and several people had fallen to the ground with arrows on the mountain.
The earth mountain is not very high, although some of the arrows did not reach the top of the mountain and fell, but most of the arrows still shot up the mountain, there are weapons to open the arrows, there are no weapons in hand can only find a place to dodge, there are a few arrows shot to Qin Xiao's side, Qin Xiao returned to easily open it.
After several rounds of arrows, seven or eight people had already been shot, and more than a dozen others had been injured by arrows.
The shopkeeper Dou was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, although it was only a minor injury, but he screamed miserably.
Ye Heju smiled and stroked his beard, raised his hand to signal the horsemen to stop shooting arrows, and shouted at the mountain: "Eldest prince, you have also seen that your people are vulnerable, if you don't tie your hands and capture them, this small dirt mountain is your burial place." ”
Qin Xiao glanced down the mountain and frowned.
Whether it was attacking Jigong Gorge or being attacked by the Death Wing of Huangxi last time, Qin Xiao and Yuwen Chengchao were at the most dangerous time, and they attacked the thief and captured the king, and that turned the situation around.
But today's situation is completely different from the previous two times.
At this moment, there is no possibility to capture Yeheju, if you want to rush down from the mountain to capture Yeheju, as long as you show your head, in the face of the dense arrows of the Udans, you will instantly turn into a sieve.
"Ye Heju, you are so bold, you dare to do it to me?" Qin Xiao's eyes rolled, and he suddenly shouted loudly: "Do you want to break the corpse into ten thousand pieces?" ”
Ye Heju frowned, he had already heard Qin Xiao's voice, looked up at the mountain, but saw that Qin Xiao had already raised the Blood Demon Knife in his hand, although the sunset had already set, but the Blood Demon Knife was still glowing red, and he heard Qin Xiao's voice and continued: "This is the Blood Demon Knife of the Great Fire God, you are all blind, pretend not to see?" Ye Heju, if you hurt me a hair, do you know the consequences? ”
Tang Rong was amused when he saw him repeating his old tricks, but he thought that this young man had deceived Qi Fushan with this knife, but now he didn't know if he could use this knife to turn the corner.
Qin Xiao couldn't think of any other way, so he tried it hard, but he didn't have much hope in his heart.
It's just that when the group of Utuo cavalry heard the word "Great Fire God", they all changed slightly, and when they saw the red blood demon knife raised on the mountain, they looked at each other for a while.
Ye Heju sneered: "Wang Xiao, do you still want to pretend to be a ghost? You're clearly a fake, so we're not going to be fooled. ”
"Whether it's fake or not, you know in your own heart." Qin Xiao stubbornly said, "If I wasn't a disciple of the Great Fire God, how could I get this sword?" Yeheju, you ..... If you lead troops to murder me, the master knows that he will definitely break your body into thousands of pieces. ”
In fact, Ye Heju was never sure whether the identity of Qin Xiao, the little fire god, was true or false.
Although he suspected that this guy was a fake, as long as one percent of it might be a disciple of the Great Fire God, he really didn't dare to hurt Qin Xiao, and he sank slightly
Yin, and finally said: "Wang Xiao, if you are really a disciple of the Great Fire God, and you capture Yuwen Chengchao down the mountain, we will never dare to snub you." ”
"What kind of bullshit are you putting on?" Qin Xiao scolded: "The eldest prince is my friend, how can I do anything to him?" ”
"The Great Fire God is the god of my Vulda." Ye Heju said loudly: "He protects the Khanate, the enemy of the Khanate, of course, is also the enemy of the Great Fire God, if you think you are still a disciple of the Great Fire God, you should be the same enemy with us." If you help the people of the Tang Kingdom, you will be an enemy of the Great Fire God, and it is not known whether the Great Fire God blames you or me at that time. ”
Qin Xiao thought to himself that this guy's eloquence was not bad, Ye Heju obviously didn't want to give Qin Xiao another chance, and waved his hand, but saw the Wutuo cavalry urging the war horse, separating the left and right, and outflanking the left and right like a herringbone, just for a moment, the small mountain had already been surrounded.
Immediately a low horn was heard, and the Vedic cavalry had already turned over and dismounted, retracted their bows and drawn their swords, and had begun to rush towards the earth mountain from all sides.
"Fat Fish, Dapeng, and Crazy Man, you all keep one side." Yuwen Chengchao said: "The Wutuo people are going to be killed, and everyone is fighting hard." ”
The crowd quickly dispersed and defended all sides.
Qin Xiao said to Tang Rong: "My sister takes care of the shopkeeper. Holding a knife and following Yuwen Chengchao, Yuwen Chengchao glanced at Qin Xiao and said with a smile: "Good brother, you know me since you fight, every time you fight, you are by my side, this time is probably the last time." ”
"So far, killing one is enough, killing two earns one." Qin Xiao said with a smile: "But dying in the hands of someone like Ye Heju is really a little unwilling. ”
Yuwen Chengchao condescendingly looked at Ye Heju under the mountain, although the Wutuo soldiers began to attack the mountain, but Ye Heju watched from a distance and did not come up, beside him, there were more than ten cavalry surrounded by Wuzi.
The Wutuo soldiers who came from the front had already reached the foot of the mountain and began to climb upward, someone picked up the stone and was about to smash it down, Yuwen Chengchao raised his hand to stop it: "Don't worry, wait for them to come up and aim at it." As soon as the words fell, he suddenly heard the sound of rumbling horses' hooves in the distance, he followed the reputation, and saw that from the west, another team of soldiers and horses swept towards this side like the wind, and the black pressure was overwhelming, and it was actually more than the soldiers and horses brought by Ye Heju, and he was shocked in his heart, but Qin Xiao could also see it, and his heart sank to the bottom.
Ye Heju had already brought a lot of soldiers and horses, which had already put the caravan in a desperate situation, and at this time, there were Wutuo cavalry from the west, and the two soldiers and horses were added together, and the caravan was not spared.
The Utuo soldiers, who were about to climb up the mountain, heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and immediately stopped, and looked to the west.
"White wolf!" Qin Xiao's eyes were amazing, and he saw that the team was gradually approaching, a big flag fluttering in the air in the wind, and on the flag was a white giant wolf, which he could see quite clearly.
Ye Heju frowned, the cavalry was extremely fast, and in a moment, it had already reached the bottom of the mountain, Qin Xiao saw the outfit of this cavalry, and said to Yuwen Chengchao: "The eldest prince, it's the wolf guard!" ”
Yuwen Chengchao naturally saw it, nodded, and stared at the big flag.
Under the banner, a Wutuo general wearing black armor raised his hand, and hundreds of horsemen behind him quickly stopped their horses, and the black armor general urged the horse to the front of Deye Heju, pulled the reins of the horse, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Ye Hu, you can have an order, let your subordinates escort the eldest prince of Yuwen back to Xiling, but there is an obstacle on the way, and there is no mercy!" ”
