Countless Yuan soldiers pushed siege carts and catapults to attack the city wall of Pingnan County.

At the top of the city, catapults lined up along the line creaked, and countless stones whizzed through the air.

Compared with the hustle and bustle of the city in the north, the south of the county is undoubtedly much colder.

On both sides of the Xunjiang River in the south, only a few hundred meters away from the south gate of Pingnan County, there are only hundreds of yuan soldiers and soldiers, and they are scattered on the ground.

Jesur couldn't wait for Wen Tianxiang to abandon the city, so naturally he would not besiege all the city gates. His whole army was mainly attacking the north gate, and these hundreds of soldiers were just to prevent the people in the city from leaving the city. There is only a narrow inner city river connecting the Xun River in Pingnan County, which does not allow large ships to pass through, and the water flow is turbulent, and there are hundreds of soldiers to guard it.

Wen Qi, who was young and childish, poured into the Xunjiang River with twenty elite soldiers and a total of five small boats.

Raindrops as big as soybeans fell on the river, making the muddy water even more turbulent.

The soldiers on the five small boats were still paddling hard, and the small boats rushed in the direction of the Yuan army like sharp arrows.

When the Yuan soldiers on the shore saw a boat rushing to arrive, they all stood up.

The generals shouted a few words, and the soldiers gathered on the shore, loaded with bows and arrows, and aimed at the five small boats that rose and fell in the turbulence.

Wen Qi gritted his teeth, squatted on the bow of the boat, pressed his upper body down slightly, and shouted in a low voice: "Shield!" ”

The elite soldiers who heard his shout took out their shields from their feet and held them in their hands.

"Put!"

When the small boat led by the leader was only a few tens of meters away from those Yuan soldiers, the general of the Yuan army waved his hand and shouted violently.

Hundreds of arrows were fired at each of the five boats with great force.

Two of the ship's elite soldiers sat on the left and right, with their shields on their sides, and one in the middle with their shields above their heads. It almost kept them in limbo.

It's just that they don't have the extra energy to control the boat, so they can only follow the waves.

The arrows slammed into the shield with a clanging sound, and the arrows were so powerful that they continued to tremble even after they entered the wood.

It is impossible for the shields to be connected without gaps, and there are still some blank spaces after all. One of the elite soldiers in the lead boat was shot by an arrow that passed through the gap, and suddenly he muffled and fell sideways into the river.

His death caused the whole boat to fall out of balance, first to the left side with him, and then to the right when it was hit by a great wave.

The other four elite soldiers of the Xingguo Army on the boat were specially selected people who were extremely good at water, and they quickly emerged from the murky river.

However, they were met with arrows.

Mongolia is a nomadic people, and the soldiers on the shore are all Mongols, with outstanding riding skills, and archery skills are even better.

The four soldiers came out one after another, and they were pierced by the Yuan army's arrows, screaming and sinking again.

Streams of bright red blood gushed out of the muddy yellow water, and it was so shocking.

Wen Qi kept roaring, "Quick! Fast! Fast! ”

But the river was so turbulent that in less than two minutes, two small boats capsized in succession.

The soldiers who fell into the water also did not escape the arrows of the Yuan army.

Clusters of blood rose out, like wild rhododendrons in the mountains.

By the time they crossed the Yuan line, there were only two small boats left, and they were swaying from side to side in the turbulent river, in danger of capsizing at any moment.

Wen Qi hid in the shield, couldn't hear the sound of arrows entering the wood, shook off the shield suddenly, and shouted: "Go all out!" ”

The four soldiers on the side hurriedly threw off their shields, picked up the pulp and rowed it vigorously.

Whether Pingnan can survive in a desperate situation depends on them. When they left Pingnan County, they were already determined to die.

When the Yuan sergeants saw the boat running out of the range of the arrows, the commander shouted, and they all got on their horses and chased after them.

Wen Qi looked back, but saw that the small boat behind him also hit the rocks in the river and disintegrated.

One of the soldiers was thrown out of the boat, his head slammed into the stones, splattered with blood, and sank into the river.

Many soldiers of the Yuan army suddenly reined in their horses, and when the elite soldiers emerged from the river, the arrows roared towards them with the sound of breaking through the air.

"Damn!"

Wen Qi scolded indignantly, his eyes red.

But these elite soldiers bought some time for their small boat.

Although the war horses of the Yuan soldiers were fast, they were no faster than the small boats like sharp arrows in the ship. Wen Qi: The boat went farther and farther down the river.

By the time they reached the open area, the arrows were no longer strong enough to reach the boat.

The leading commander snorted, waved his hand and withdrew with his soldiers.

Wen Qi crouched at the bow of the boat, his eyes fixed on the front. How he wished that Rongjin County would appear in front of him at this time.

At some point, their ship sank in the Xun River.

Wen Qi fell into the water, and quickly emerged and rowed towards the shore. Because the river was so fast, he swam so hard.

When he finally reached the shore and looked back at the river, only one elite soldier was left behind, and the other three soldiers did not know whether they were drowned or washed away by the river.

He flowed back into the river and brought the soldier to shore, who was nearly exhausted.

"Hoo ......"

When they came ashore again, both of them were exhausted, lying on the gravel on the shore panting.

The explosion thunder was constantly resounding, and the sky was constantly flashing with blue-purple electric light.

The heavy rain hit his face with a scorching pain.

After a few minutes of rest, Wen Qi stood up and said, "Let's go!" ”

The soldier also stood up, and the two of them, drenched and wet, walked downstream along the river.

When he didn't walk for a long time, Wen Qi frowned and said, "This won't work!" We walked like this, and we didn't know when we would get to Tsutsu. ”

The sergeant asked, "What is the idea of the young general?" ”

Wen Qi looked at the woods on the shore that were even more lush under the rain, "Let's go to the shore and see if we can find the village and borrow a horse." ”

The soldier didn't have any idea, so he followed Wen Qi into the jungle.

Fortunately, they were lucky, and after a short walk, they saw a village not far from the river.

The two hurriedly ran to the entrance of the village, but when they arrived at the entrance of the village, they were stopped by several villagers with homemade iron guns, "What person?" ”

Wen Qi looked at the evil anger on the faces of these villagers, and sighed in his heart, secretly saying that it was not good.

It's not like an ordinary villager, it's more like a bandit.

Looking at the few arrow towers in the village, I am even more worried, this is clearly a bandit nest.

In this era, there were not many such bandit dens. In troubled times, there are many people who will organize their own arms.

He was stunned and said, "We are soldiers of the Xingguo Army, dare to ask you the names of heroes?" ”

The man who stopped them showed a suspicious look in his eyes, "The Xingguo Army is in Pingnan County, how did you come here?" ”

Wen Qi had no choice, knowing that if he didn't make it clear, let alone borrowing a horse, he was afraid that he would not be able to get out, and said: "The county town was besieged by the Yuan army, and we risked our lives to go out of the city for help." ”

The man at the head looked at him carefully and waved his hand, "Bring them in and let the master interrogate." ”

Wen Qi heard him say the word master, and his heart was a little relieved. It seems that this is not a bandit, but a strong organization of the villagers.

At the moment, he did not resist, and allowed a few village warriors to escort himself in.

When they arrived at a house in the middle of the village, where the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, they were elegantly furnished, and they were taken to the main hall.

There was a person sitting in the main hall, an old man in a navy blue silk robe, and a person standing, but a girl like a flower and jade.

Xiang Yong escorted Wen Qi and the soldier, and said to the old man: "Master, these two people claim to be soldiers of the Xingguo Army who went out of the city to report the news, please decide." ”

"Soldiers of the Xingguo Army?"

The old man was slightly moved, and looked at Wen Qi, "Are you really a soldier of the Xingguo Army?" ”

Wen Qi said: "Exactly, the kid is the second son of Wen Tianxiang." Saying that, he was deeply moved, "I also asked the elder to lend us two horses, so that we could go and report for help." ”

The old man's expression was even more shocked, "What's your name?" ”

Wen Qi replied: "Wen Qi." ”

The old man stood up and said, "Hurry up and prepare a horse for General Wen." ”

Then he diligently pulled Wen Qi and asked him to sit down.

The girl who was standing also glanced at Wen Qi, her eyes glowing with strange colors.

Wen Qi was a little puzzled why the old man was suddenly so enthusiastic, and thought about going to report the news, but he just refused to sit down.

The old man didn't insist, just looked at him with a smile. This smile made Dewen Qi's heart slightly hairy.

Fortunately, soon a villager Yong came in and said that the horse was ready, he hurriedly thanked him, and hurriedly ran out with his soldiers.

But what I didn't expect was that the girl also came out, smiling like a flower, "I will go with you too." ”

Wen Qi wondered: "What are you going to do?" ”

A sly look flashed in the girl's eyes, "If you don't let me follow, I'll let my father not lend you the horse." ”

Wen Qi was helpless, so he had to let her. But I was wondering who the people in this village were.

Soon, the three horsemen braved the rain to leave the village.
