Volume 1 The Cold Front, the Troubled Times Chapter 0109 The thatched hut is lame
The guards of the Hu cavalry commander shouted, and flew in front of the Hu cavalry commander, only to see that his neck was pierced by a painted Xuanzhong arrow, and the wound was burned black by the fire aura attached to the Xuanzhong arrow, emitting a burst of flesh fragrance, and the person had long been out of breath.
"Woooo
The four flames flashed, and the four Xiban Hu riders with Xuanyao bows were shot, and their bodies immediately exploded into a big hole, falling from the top of the black-horned demon horse, and there was a sudden chaos around them.
When the young general saw this, he could not help but be overjoyed, and shouted: "The enemy chief has been shot! Brothers!
"Kill—"
The surrounding soldiers couldn't help but be ecstatic when they heard this, and for a while, the army's heart was greatly boosted, and they rose up majesticly, and they all shouted in unison and charged forward, breaking through the blockade of the Western Barbarian Hu Cavalry!
There are still three Lingliu Realm masters on the side of the Xiban Hu people, who want to kill the Yunxia soldiers back like before, but unfortunately they were just about to intercept them, and immediately flew three Xuanzhong arrows, shooting one person on the spot and injuring two people.
As a result, the two injured Spirit Flow Realm masters didn't dare to show their faces again, and began to hide in the crowd and act as shrunken turtles.
The surrounding woods continued to shoot sharp arrows one by one, killing those brave and tenacious Xiban Hu people bit by bit, causing the morale of the Xiban Hu riders to plummet to freezing point. In the end, this Western Barbarian Hu cavalry could no longer maintain the encirclement, and began to rout on all fronts, like hundreds of lost dogs, and fled in the direction of Pingyang Town in panic.
The young general ordered: "Array, Cloth Shield, Slowly advance, drive them out of Pingyang Town!"
The Ximan Hu cavalry is good at shooting, and even if he escapes, it has great lethality, so he did not rashly let the soldiers chase after him, but ordered them to form a shield wall in formation, advance step by step, and drive the Ximan Hu cavalry out of Pingyang Town.
They were all foot soldiers, and their mobility was too poor to catch up with the cavalry, and even if they wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue and expand the results of the battle, they were powerless.
At this moment, a Western Barbarian Hu man quietly got up from the pile of dead people, he picked up the Xuanyao Bow that had fallen to the side, took a Xuanzhong arrow from a broken corpse, and secretly aimed at the young general.
The young general was directing the troops in the rear, not paying attention at all, and did not think that there were still living enemies in the pile of dead behind him.
However, in the end, he is a master of the Spirit Flow Realm, and he has been tempered in the battlefield, and his sixth sense surpasses that of ordinary people.
When the Naxi Barbarian Hu man aimed at him with a Xuanyao bow, the young general suddenly felt a sense in his heart, his scalp tingled, and a huge sense of crisis suddenly came. He subconsciously looked back, only to see that not far behind him, a bloodied Western Barbarian Hu man was bending his bow and arrows to aim at him, and he had already drawn the bowstring.
Seeing the swarthy bow and arrow in the hand of the Western Barbarian Hu Ren, he couldn't help but shrink his pupils and was extremely surprised.
The soldiers noticed that their general looked different, and immediately realized that there was a situation behind them, and when they looked back, they couldn't help but be frightened.
They subconsciously wanted to stand in front of the young generals, but it was too late!
The Ximanhu man over there grinned, and in an instant, he let go of the Xuanzhong arrow in his hand, and at the same time, the scene of the young general being shot and killed already appeared in his mind.
His expression was hideous and full of pride!
It's too late, it's too soon!
I saw that a black figure had already rushed out of the woods, jumped to his side, and quickly pulled out a cold long knife with a bang, and instantly slashed down at the Western Barbarian Hu who opened the bow!
"Brush!"
With a small sound, the long knife severed the hands of the Ximanhu man, swept past his body, and turned him into an ice sculpture.
"Whew!"
At the same time, the Xuanzhong arrow shook slightly, departed from the string, and shot at the young general, flying by his neck and leaving a light red scar on it.
"Whew!"
The arrow eventually landed on one of the soldiers in front of him, piercing his head and killing him instantly.
"Protect the general, protect the general, protect the general!"
The surrounding guards shouted loudly, and surrounded the young generals, forming a human wall without a single gap.
At the same time, they also saw the black figure clearly, it was a black-clothed young man with a wooden box on his back, he was holding a painted Xuanyao bow in his left hand, and a long knife in his right hand, looking at the young general.
The guards raised their swords and guns, all on guard, they didn't know who the black-clothed young man was, but the other party was holding a Xuanyao bow in his hand, which was a huge threat to the young general.
"You all stand down!"
The young general ordered to the guards inside, and he hugged his fist at the black-clothed young man: "Thank you little brother for coming to the rescue!"
The young man in black didn't answer, he put the Xuanyao bow back into the wooden box behind him, smiled at the young general, picked up a quiver from the ground, and quickly jumped into the woods, disappearing without a trace.
A guard asked, "Childe, who was that young man just now?"
The young general shook his head and said, "I don't know either, but he helped out, first shooting the enemy chieftain, and then saving my life, he should be a friend rather than an enemy." If it weren't for him today, I am afraid that all of us would have to die here, and when I see him again in the future, I will thank him well. ”
The guard said, "Could he be a secret guard of the imperial court?"
The young general sighed and said, "How could the imperial court send secret guards to protect me? Our Wei family has declined, and I have no value to protect. Let's go, let's clean up Pingyang Town and go back to our lives. ”
He continued to lead the Yunxia soldiers to continue to advance towards Pingyang Town.
The Ximan Hu Cavalry has been defeated, and it is naturally impossible to stay any longer. All they need to do now is to clean up the battlefield and check the situation in Pingyang Town.
In the woods, Zhang Teng put the frost reflection into the sheath, and then took out the remaining seven Xuanzhong arrows in the quiver and put them all into the wooden box.
Then, he picked up the wooden box and began to march towards Lingyi Village.
Before coming to Pingyang Town, he had talked to the coachman and knew how to get around Lingyi Village. If you hurry up, you will go to Binh Duong Town first, and then take a horse-drawn carriage from the official road. If you are slower, you can take a detour from the right side of Binh Duong Town. It is a small road, leading directly to Lingyi Village, and there are some mountain people walking in groups on weekdays, they mainly pick up things to Binh Duong to sell and buy, and sometimes it is safer to walk it, and they will not be robbed by road blockers halfway.
However, the trail is more rugged and difficult, and there are many wild animals, which is a bit dangerous.
The Yunxia army was stationed in Pingyang Town, and Zhang Teng didn't want to deal with them, so he naturally had to choose to take a small road to Lingyi.
As the so-called art master is bold, although the path is a little dangerous, Zhang Teng is not very afraid, with his current strength, as long as he does not meet a sixth-level demon beast, there is basically no need to worry. Moreover, he has the Xuanyao Bow and the Xuanzhong Arrow, even if he is a sixth-level demon beast, he can fight.
After walking for about two quarters of an hour, Zhang Teng arrived at Lingyi Village.
He couldn't help but sigh that the path was long enough, and it took so much time at his speed, and he had to walk for an hour or two as an ordinary person.
Of course, Zhang Teng's speed was not fully exerted, the path was winding and overgrown, and there were not many people walking on weekdays, so it was easy to get lost. Along the way, he spent more time recognizing his way than he spent hurrying. After all, it was the first time for him to go, and there was no guide, so it was a blessing to be able to walk to Lingyi Village smoothly.
Since Lingyi Village is far away from Pingyang Town, and it is an insignificant remote mountain village, it has not been harmed by the Xiban Hu people. The villagers received the news of the attack on Pingyang Town by the Ximanhu people early in the morning, and in order to prevent it, they packed up their things and were ready to leave at any time.
Of course, they arranged a few people to stand guard at the entrance of the village, and as long as they saw the Ximanhu people, they immediately sounded the gong to remind the villagers to flee.
Zhang Teng's sudden arrival surprised the sentry villagers of Lingyi Village, who explained the situation of the Ximanhu people to them, and asked the villagers for the address of the hunter.
"Huo Linqing, Huo Cripple, his family?"
One of the sentry villagers frowned and asked, "Little brother, who are you, what are you looking for him?"
Zhang Teng said: "I don't know him, I was entrusted by someone to send him a letter." ”
The other party said: "Huo Cripple has been drunk all day, and he probably hasn't woken up for a while, if you're not in a hurry, let's wait for him to wake up and then look for him." Or, you will write to me, and I will pass it on to him for you. ”
Zhang Teng said: "I am very anxious about this matter, and the letter master has repeatedly told me to send it to Huo Linqing himself as soon as possible." ”
"In that case, go in and find him yourself, in one of the most dilapidated huts in the east of the village. However, I want to remind you that you must not forcibly wake him up, Huo Cripple has a short temper. No matter who it is, if he disturbs him sleeping, he will turn his face and deny people, and fight at the people. ”
The man advised: "Also, Huo Cripple likes to raise eagles, he has a disabled blue feather giant eagle, I heard that it is picked up from outside, don't provoke it when you go in, otherwise the flat-haired beast will go crazy, even Huo Cripple can't hold it." There was once a ruffian in the village who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, teased him with a stone, was pecked blind in one eye, grabbed a leg and couldn't do anything, so he could only go to Pingyang Town to beg for food. ”
Zhang Teng nodded and said, "Thank you for the reminder, I remembered." ”
He clasped his fists and saluted, and then~ entered the village, and according to what the other party said, found one of the most dilapidated thatched huts in the east of the village.
When Zhang Teng saw Huo Cripple's residence, he finally understood that the most dilapidated thatched hut in the mouth of the villagers was actually an extremely polite statement.
The building in front of me is not a thatched hut at all, but a thatched hut. It should be said that it is a wooden frame with a thatched cover! The wooden frame has broken a pillar, the thatch cover on the top is very old, the thatch on top has rotted, and there are several small holes.
In such a dilapidated thatched hut, there was only a black stove, a dirty and rusty iron pot, a rotten tile bowl, a rotten straw mat, a man, and an eagle.
The man lay on his side on a rotten straw mat with his face outward, ragged and wearing a pair of torn shoes, unkempt and bearded, like a beggar. His body looks fairly strong, but his right leg is covered with scars, and the calf bones are obviously somewhat deformed, so you can tell that there is something wrong with his legs and feet. It seems that this person is Huo Linqing, the cripple in the mouth of the villagers.
