Chapter 50: Righteous Action
The official road under their feet is actually the Qin Straight Road, which extends to the Hetao Plain, after thousands of years of ups and downs, there is still no grass on the mud road, but it has been rolled out of a few deep ruts by countless vehicles passing through for thousands of years, making the cart bumpy and slow.
Not long after descending the mountain, it was dark, and the convoy hurried away, and everyone's hearts were heavy, and no one spoke.
Steward Yu kept standing up and looking around, with a very nervous expression on his face.
Guo Song simply lay down, the goods under him were very soft, they were all long rolls, and they should be carrying silk cloth and the like.
Guo Song chewed a grass root in his mouth and looked at the night sky in a daze.
There is not a single cloud in the sky, a thin crescent moon hangs above the dense forest on the top of the mountain, the deep night is as smooth as velvet, and the starry sky is like a jewel embellished on the velvet, and a galaxy crosses the sky, which is extraordinarily bright and mysterious.
For ten years, he has been looking for his source in the starry sky, and he has always believed that he was brought by a meteor from the deep space of the universe hundreds of millions of miles away.
Whenever he looked at the stars, he always deeply missed his wife and daughter in another life, and wondered what kind of grief they would have for their middle-aged husband and father who died young. And how will they survive the long years ahead?
Thinking of this, Guo Song will have an irrepressible pain in his heart, for ten years, this longing for his relatives has never weakened, and he can't tell anyone, but can only hide it in the depths of his heart that no one can reach.
Guo Song suddenly heard something and sat up suddenly.
Steward Yu was startled and asked in a trembling voice, "You....Did you find something?" ”
Guo Song nodded, continued to listen attentively, and after a while, in the silent night shattered by the sound of horses' hooves, Steward Yu also heard it, and his face turned pale.
"Could it be a passerby?"
"It's not!"
Guo Song shook his head slowly, "It's the cavalry coming!"
The sound of the hooves of the war horses is heavier and more powerful than the hooves of the people's horses, these are ten war horses, well-trained, and the sense of rhythm is very neat, Guo Song slowly squinted his eyes, he saw it, and a small group of black spots appeared on the official road behind, which was definitely cavalry.
The cavalry was speeding and was speeding towards this side.
Steward Yu suddenly hissed and shouted, "Quick! Come on! ”
The handlebar runners panicked and whipped the donkeys desperately, but no matter how fast the donkey carts were, they couldn't outrun the cavalry behind.
The cavalry chased closer and closer, and Guo Song saw clearly that it was ten cavalrymen, each carrying a spear in his hand, whether it was a party cavalry or not, but the one who came was not good.
It was too late, Guo Song sighed and said to everyone: "They are catching up, abandon the car and flee for your life!" ”
The coachmen were all experienced, jumped off the donkey cart and ran desperately into the grass by the roadside, with a forest in the distance.
"I can't leave the goods!" Steward Yu shouted in horror.
"It's important to save your life first!"
Guo Song grabbed his arm and jumped off the donkey cart, he landed steadily, but the remaining steward took a few heels and planted himself into the grass.
Guo Song picked him up and ran to the depths of the grass, and soon hid behind a big rock, about forty steps away from the official road.
By this time, ten party cavalrymen had caught up with the donkey cart, and when they found it covered in silk, they shouted loudly with excitement.
The Dangxiang cavalry is not the Western Xia cavalry of the Song Dynasty, and the current Dangxiang people are still a nomadic people who are attached to the Tang Dynasty, living in Yinzhou and Xiazhou.
They did not dare to rebel openly, but they began to organize cavalry to plunder the people and merchants everywhere, not only to collect money, but also to create panic and drive away the Han people living in the area.
This ten-man cavalry team is a standard raiding squad,
The party cavalry drove away with the donkey cart, and the remaining steward suddenly cried, "I can't afford to lose my family!" There are still elderly people and children at home, what should I do? ”
"You can't be blamed for this incident, the war is chaotic, and it is normal to encounter military disasters, and the coachmen will testify to the uncle." Guo Song comforted Steward Yu in a low voice.
Steward Yu almost collapsed, sat on the ground and said with tears on his face: "Half of the goods on this side are my own, and I borrowed two hundred yuan, five percent of usury per month!" I originally wanted to earn some money to treat my child's illness, but now..... now, what should I do? What about my child! ”
Guo Song touched half of the bread in his arms that he was reluctant to eat, the grace of dripping water, the spring reciprocated, he Guo Song has always been a person who knows how to repay his kindness, just with this piece of bread, he also has to help this Yu steward once.
He handed his cloth bag and water hyacinth to Steward Yu, "Uncle help me get it, I'll go and get the donkey cart back." ”
Steward Yu was shocked and hurriedly waved his hand, "You can't go, they don't blink an eye when they kill people." ”
Guo Song stuffed things into him, and chased after the donkey cart, his body was as fast as lightning, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Steward Yu was stunned, this little Taoist's martial arts were so strong!
Suddenly, a glimmer of hope burned in his heart.
……….
Guo Song had already overtaken the donkey cart, and there was a large pine tree several feet high on the side of the road not far ahead, and he was squatting on the tree at this time, waiting for the prey to come.
Guo Song put his middle finger on the iron ring given to him by the third senior brother, and there was a half-inch-long iron thorn on the iron ring, which was a hidden weapon, and he slowly pulled out the ironwood sword from his back.
Guo Song had seen bloody rain in the Hexi Corridor, and he had already passed the level of killing.
At this time, his mind is as calm as water, without any pressure, and ten years of hard training has allowed him to develop his own shooting style.
He pays attention to stability, accuracy, and ruthlessness when he shoots his sword, and he does not shoot easily, but once he makes a move, the opponent will definitely die.
The cavalry was approaching step by step, and Guo Song was holding the big tree and sliding down silently, he wanted to find the best position to attack.
The cavalry and the convoy finally passed under the big pine trees.........
Although there were no coachmen, there were five horsemen on each side of the convoy, controlling the donkey convoy.
"Chief, give us a little bit of this silk! We won't have our share if we send it back. ”
"Shut up! You haven't caught enough in the past two years? These treasures belong to the great chiefs, who dares to stir around. ”
A group of cavalrymen cursed, completely oblivious to the two cold stares overhead.
Guo Song's eyes were fixed on the last two cavalrymen, who walked side by side, one on the left and one on the right.
Just as the last two passed under the big tree, Guo Song fell from the sky like a night bird, and the wooden sword was as fast as lightning, swinging through, although the wooden sword had no edge, but the powerful force made it indestructible.
'Click! Click! ’
The two heads were severed and rolled to the ground, their bodies tilted to the side, blood gushing out from their necks.
Guo Song landed on the horse on the left, he grabbed the reins with his left hand, punched the horse's back hard, and the iron thorns on the ring suddenly pierced into the body of the war horse, the war horse was in unbearable pain, the front hooves were raised high, and he screamed violently, and rushed forward like crazy.
Before the soldiers in front of them could react, the heavy wooden swords swept in, and in an instant, the two soldiers were beaten to the point that their brains burst and they fell off their horses and died tragically.
The war horse galloped past, and Guo Song immediately flashed and hid on the other side of the war horse.
In the night, he didn't see Guo Song hurting people, but he saw a crazy horse galloping towards him, and it was immediately empty.
Soldiers shouted from behind: "The enemy is on the flank!" ”
The chief also found that there was a person hiding on the side of the galloping horse, but the other party happened to be blocked by the war horse, so he had no idea where to start, and he had to intercept the galloping war horse in order to clean up the bastard.
Without hesitation, the captain roared, and raised his spear to spur at the oncoming war horse, which pierced the head of the wounded horse, and the war horse was killed instantly, but the spearhead was embedded in the horse's skull, and the inertia dragged forward, so that the copy commander's body could not help but stagnate.
Guo Song jumped up the moment he took out his spear, flipped in the air, swept behind him, swung out the wooden sword, and slashed at the neck of the chief, cutting a big human head more than a foot away, and the headless corpse fell to the ground with a clatter.
When the other five party cavalrymen saw that the commander had been killed with one move, they were immediately frightened, turned their horses and fled.
Guo Song jumped on the donkey cart, jumped over five donkey carts in a row, jumped up with the help of his strength, and fell right behind the last cavalryman, and the party cavalry was terrified, pulled out his dagger and stabbed it back.
The dagger stabbed from the right, Guo Song was inconvenient to shoot, he slammed the dagger with his knees, threw away the wooden sword, grabbed the opponent's wrist, twisted it hard, and the wrist was suddenly broken, and the party cavalry screamed in pain, threw off the stirrups with both feet, and wanted to fall off the horse to survive.
Guo Song didn't give him a chance, stretched out his arm, and twisted it around the soldier's neck, 'Click! 'The neck was broken.
As soon as Guo Song let go, the corpse of the cavalry fell to the ground, Guo Song lifted the spear hanging on the saddle, grabbed the reins and chased the horse, ran dozens of steps, and first caught up with the party cavalry carrying several bags of grain, the cavalry was so frightened that he forgot to throw away the food on the horse.
Guo Song gradually caught up with this person, stabbed with a spear, and the spear fell in his hand, the soldier couldn't dodge, and was stabbed by the sharp spear tip, screamed, turned over and fell off the horse.
Guo Song drew his spear and threw it forward with a wave of his arm, and thirty paces away, another soldier was pierced through the body by the flying spear.
'Ahh The soldier let out a long scream, and the spear was so powerful that it dragged him off his horse, and the cavalryman was nailed to the ground with the spear.
"Alai!"
The party soldiers who fled together looked back and saw the tragic death of the brother, his eyes were red, he no longer ran away, roared, drew his sword, turned his horse's head and killed Guo Song.
"I'm going to cut you with a thousand cuts!"
The party soldiers urged their horses to gallop wildly, yelling like madness.
Guo Song sneered, bent down and pulled out the war knife from the waist of the corpse on the ground, clamped the horse between his legs, the war horse galloped, the two horses staggered by in an instant, only to see a human head fly up, the opponent's war horse ran out of more than a dozen steps, and the headless corpse fell to the ground.
At this time, Guo Song reined in his horse, and then looked at the other two cavalrymen who were galloping wildly, they turned to the north, they had fled far away, and they could also make a detour to Xiazhou from the north, and they should not come back.
Guo Song shook his head, but it was a pity that he was missing a pair of bows and arrows to take advantage of, otherwise none of the ten cavalrymen would be able to escape.
