As soon as Walter finished shouting, he felt a chill rising from the bottom of his heart, and a powerful crossbow arrow was shot ten zhang away in front of him, and in an instant, he immediately waved the Persian scimitar in his hand, and knocked the crossbow arrow away with great speed, although he knocked this crossbow arrow, but when he felt that his arms and shoulders were slightly numb, he couldn't help but be shocked.
"Who can shoot such a powerful arrow? Even a row of crossbows can't have such strength, and when it is shot ten zhang away, it can still maintain such strength! With my might, I flew away, but my arms were sore. At the moment, Walter cautiously looked into the middle of the line.
I saw that in the direction of the crossbow arrows, a young man was squatting there, holding a small subway-made object in his hand, and the front end was facing him.
"It turned out to be a strong crossbow or something, and it's rare to see such a small crossbow! It's just that it's impossible to have one crossbow per person in such a beautiful way, otherwise these dart masters don't have to only send darts, and the young man needs to reload them after they are fired, and I am not afraid of them! If you can snatch that crossbow, it will be an excellent weapon for self-defense! Walter thought of this, and his heart calmed down, although the other party's strange crossbow arrows were strong, but one by one, he could resist them.
In his opinion, the crossbow arrows in Shang Yu's hands did not play any role in changing the outcome of the battle, but he was somewhat interested in this crossbow.
At this moment, he saw a cold light flash again ten zhang away, Walter couldn't help sneering slightly, raised his knife and slashed at the crossbow arrows that were fired.
Seeing that the first arrow didn't hit the opponent's head, Shang Yu couldn't help but secretly scream that it was a pity, so he couldn't help squatting down, carefully aiming at the opponent's head, and said in his heart: "The arrow just now was actually pulled away by this person with a knife, this person's force seems to be good!" According to my estimates, the power of this crossbow arrow is enough to shoot a strong bow of thirty stones, could it be that the knowledge left to me by the master is wrong? Don't think about it, this time it's just five in a row, see how this person can stop it? ”
Next, he simply fired the remaining five crossbow arrows at Walter in one salvo, this time not five side-by-side salvos, but the second followed the first, the third followed, and the fourth and fifth were the same, because of the extremely fast rate of fire, in the eyes of others, they just felt a cold light shooting towards Walter.
Walter easily pushed the crossbow arrow away, and his arm was sore, but he was amused in his heart, and said in his heart: "If this kind of crossbow arrow is copied by a large number of my color-eyed people, it will definitely play a role in deterring the enemy when the cavalry is in close combat!" I'll take a good look at it later, I've never seen such a small crossbow before, and if I turn it over to the king, I will definitely get a reward." I couldn't help but have some expectations for the weapon in Shang Yu's hand.
His thoughts moved quickly, but after a moment, he froze, because at this moment another crossbow arrow in front of him happened to reach the center of his eyebrows, and the cold breath already made him feel the coming of death, and at this moment the scimitar in his hand was raised in front of him, which was the posture after he had just knocked the crossbow arrow away.
Time stood still for Walter, and there was a slight piercing sound, and the bolt pierced Walter's skull at great speed before falling to the ground behind him with a little weakness.
The next scene surprised everyone even more, only to see that three crossbow arrows were slashed in from the center of Walter's eyebrows in turn, and then flew out of the back of his head, with bloodshot and milky white brains sprayed out, and flew into the distance with a soft whistling sound.
After a few breaths, Walter's body shook on the horse, and then fell to the ground, making a bang, and for a while, more than a dozen followers around Walter suddenly shouted loudly.
"Oh no! Lord Walter was killed by a Han dog. ”
Shang Yu nodded with some satisfaction, but there was a disgusting feeling in his heart, the heads of those people with colored eyes not far in front of him flew and blood splashed, he felt a little uncomfortable after seeing it, and now he actually killed the leader of the people with colored eyes, although Shang Yu was very calm before the killing, but after killing the other party with his own hands, he immediately felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart.
"Business steward! Why don't you listen to me and rush back? In front of the car, Li Dart, who was cutting off the head of a Semu soldier, heard the shouting of the Semu people, and also saw the scene of the five arrows firing at the same time, and after seeing Shang Yu out of the corner of his eye, he drank anxiously.
But he was also a little surprised in his heart, Shang Yu was able to shoot the other party's leader with a sharp weapon in his hand, which was really beyond his expectations, but even so, hundreds of people from the other party rushed up, although the dart masters were super strong, but in the end, they would still be slowly consumed by the other party, and they were powerless to turn the tide of the battle.
"Li Darttou, if I leave at this time, it will be difficult for my life! Even if I die, I can't abandon these Lu family members and maids, they are all living people like me, how can I abandon them? Shang Yu shouted loudly, but he quickly took out dozens of small crossbow arrows from his back, and he began to quickly reload them, and turned the small winch on the crossbow, raised the crossbow again, and aimed at the person who looked like the leader among the people with colored eyes.
And the hundreds of people who were attacking the car formation turned their heads to look behind them when they heard the terrified roar coming from behind.
"Lord Walter killed?"
"How so? He was in the rear of the brigade, how could he be killed? The commander of the Dead Camp immediately shouted among the soldiers of the Dead Battalion.
"Lord Hyakho, it's true! You see, Lord Walter's entourage in the back is dismounting and inspecting! A man in the back shouted.
"Lord Hyaknohe, this is the crossbow arrow that killed Lord Walter!" A Color-Eyed soldier hurried forward and handed over a small crossbow arrow.
When the hundred-man saw this crossbow arrow, he was taken aback, and couldn't help shouting: "The whole army is attacking!" Kill all these damn dogs for me! ”
When he said this, the hundred households jumped off their horses and immediately ran backwards, saying in their hearts: "This kind of crossbow arrow can actually shoot Lord Walter ten feet away, if I am in the army, I will definitely not be able to escape!" It is better to take this opportunity to stay away from the front, so as not to make the Dead Soldier Battalion lose its command! ”
After hearing Shang Yudi's words, Li Dart's face suddenly turned cold, and he shouted loudly: "Steward Shang, if you can't leave!" Then the death of our people will be worthless, you are really disappointed! As he spoke, he slashed the blade of a color-eyed man, cut off the opponent with a knife, turned over and flew to the roof of the car, grabbed Shang Yu with a hand, and rushed to the rear of the car formation.
Shang Yu was aiming well, and wanted to fire the crossbow arrows again, but at this time, the hundred households suddenly jumped off their horses and disappeared among the soldiers of the Semu people, which couldn't help but make him a little disappointed, if he could kill more of the opponent's officers again, it would inevitably make the opponent's group leaderless, so that the enemy without command would inevitably be unable to attack the car formation in a unified manner, so that he could buy more time for the dart divisions, and it was best for the other party to see that the officers led by him had many casualties, so he would retreat, which was what Shang Yu thought in his heart.
But at this time, he was picked up by Li Dart, and he came to the rear of the car again at a very fast speed, only to see Li Dart Master slash several times on a car with a knife this time, and the plank on the side of a car was chopped off a piece several feet long, and the plank was thrown straight into the river.
After that, he took Shang Yu to the river, and Li Dart said urgently: "Shang Steward, if you are a woman at this moment!" If there is no strong merchant alliance for the revival of the Han Dynasty, it will not only be this small convoy looted by foreigners! And it will become a disaster of extermination. ”
After hearing this, Shang Yu couldn't help but say urgently: "Master Li! Shall I ignore your safety? ”
"The Shangmeng is far stronger than you imagined, I hope you can get out of this realm as soon as possible! If you can find the officers and soldiers of Yongchuan County, you can come to help! Otherwise, go straight to Yangzhou! Don't be brave! Go ahead! As he spoke, Li Dart Shi held Shang Yu with both hands, and as soon as he pushed his strength, Shang Yudi's body rose into the air and flew towards the wooden plank in the center of the river.
After Shang Yu fell into the water, an extremely strong cold meaning entered his body, he hurriedly grabbed the wooden board beside him, and looked back, only to see that Li Dart Master had jumped up again and rushed to the front of the car formation.
Twenty dart masters have been killed by the Semu people at this time, and the rest of the dart masters are also the last of the strong crossbows, although the appearance is brave, but there are always several Persian scimitars in front of them, and after cutting down a few Semu soldiers again, they were thrown to the ground by the soldiers who came from behind.
When the Li Dart Master arrived, it happened that the Semu soldiers threw the last few dart masters to the ground, and vigorously cut the heads of these dart masters, and under the blood flying, they saw that they could not live.
Li Dart Master stood between the carts with a roar, and shouted angrily: "You people with colored eyes are not even as good as some animals!" Unexpectedly, the Lu family's wedding team was wiped out like this! One day, our Han army will drive you invaders out of the Central Plains! ”
The hundred households could hear it clearly from twenty zhang away, and couldn't help laughing: "Ridiculous! At present, less than half of the Han people in the Central Plains are divided by aliens! Our Persian descendants are just conforming to the will of heaven, and besides, when soldiers eat food, how can there be so much benevolence and righteousness to talk about, they all say that Han dogs are stupid, and sure enough! ”
"Soldiers, obey orders! Kill this dart master, everyone can immediately get the property in the car, and kill all those family members, women are free! The most beautiful woman is not allowed to move, I want to give it to the king as a meeting gift! ”
Li Dart Master knew that the general trend was gone at this moment, and when he turned around, he shouted: "Listen, everyone, you will jump into the water and escape!" We've done our best. As he spoke, he leaped to his feet and struck at the cavalrymen who were already approaching the car.
Although he knew that there was no reason to be spared, even if he wanted to escape, it would be difficult to escape under the pursuit of hundreds of horses from the other party, so he could only drag it out for a moment, so that Shang Yu could float away on the river earlier.
Not far ahead, is the entrance of the small river into the big river, down the big river, Shang Yu can reach Yongchuan County, the river is dozens of meters wide, it is difficult for these people to find boats, it is bound to be impossible to pose a threat to Shang Yu, when they approach Yongchuan, these people can not move forward, otherwise they will alarm the Yuan army of Yongchuan County, this small group of people will never dare to confront a large number of Yuan court officials.
After hearing this, dozens of family members and maids quickly ran to the rear of the car, while Mu Shisan got out of the car with the unconscious Xiaoying on his back, and jumped into the water with one jump.
Ding Qiqi and the others also quickly passed through the gap in the car formation, preparing to jump into the water and escape, but at this moment, those people with colored eyes on horses had already galloped to the river, and shouted: "If you dare to dive, immediately shoot arrows to death!" If you are willing to surrender, you can still become a slave! There is only one of your dart masters left, and he will be killed soon! You have to think about where to go. ”
Ding 17 and the other four people who bought the house immediately jumped into the water and swam into the distance, they are not like Shang Yu who grew up in a mountain village and do not understand water, but they are all people who grew up by the sea, and the water is excellent, if you are willing to believe in the words of the people.
Seeing that Ding Shisan and the others had jumped into the water and fled, the rest of the maids jumped into the icy river and swam to the opposite bank.
Seeing this, the soldiers immediately shouted angrily, nearly 100 soldiers of the dead battalion died in the hands of the dart division, this is the worst loss of the dead battalion for many years, Li Dart division has fallen into a heavy siege at this time, and will be killed later, in addition to the land money and silver that can be obtained, the maid in the wedding team is the favorite alternative wealth in the eyes of these soldiers, seeing that all the family members and maids actually dived into the water, and the duck that was about to be cooked actually wanted to fly, he immediately took out the bow and arrow in his hand and shot it into the river.
I heard the screams coming continuously, more than a dozen corpses floated on the surface of the river, the family and the maids were killed and wounded, and the blood mist was constantly scattered in the water, but the arrows of the soldiers of the color eyes continued to shoot into the river.
At the last moment of his life, the steel knife in his hand flew out and shot at the face of a ten-family, and under his feet stepped on the throat of a soldier, this soldier never imagined that he would be trampled to death by Li Dart's feet, and Li Dart's hands were each pinched at the throat of the two soldiers, but the two soldiers' Persian scimitars were cut at his waist and ribs, and his chest also exposed a knife tip, his back was cut by the sharp Persian scimitar, and the tip of the knife was exposed in the front chest after penetration.
"Business manager, as long as you can approach the Yongchuan area smoothly and be safe, I, Li Shouren, will die!" Li Dart Master looked up at the sky and muttered.
But at this moment, I only heard a voice say: "Send someone to chase the man who jumped into the water to escape, especially the man and woman who ran off the ground before, one of those two is the second lady of the Lu family, and the other is the steward of the Lu family, they must not be allowed to escape!" Just don't chase them to the periphery of Yongchuan County, if they run over there, we don't have to worry about it, we have our own soldiers to catch them. ”
Hearing this, Li Dart immediately spit out the last mouthful of blood to the sky, and before his eyes closed, he thought desperately in his heart: "The Yuan soldiers are also going to arrest them, but why is this?" Didn't hear the news along the way? Could it be that "at last the darkness was completely enveloped, and his life was over!" ”
"Lord Hyaknohe! These belongings are worth at least hundreds of thousands of taels, and I have ordered my men to start fetching water from the river to extinguish the fire. A ten-household urged the horse to come to the hundred-household side and reported.
"Good! Quickly sent these belongings to Quanzhou, and I led the team to continue to track down the two people where Lu Shina had fled. The hundred-man nodded with satisfaction, one-tenth of the reward, so that tens of thousands of taels of silver would remain in the camp of the dead, so that with the two taels of silver, he would soon be able to recruit new soldiers of the battalion of the dead, without worrying about the loss of personnel.
After Shang Yu entered the river, he could only helplessly climb to the top of the plank, and between going down the river, seeing the fire light from the side of the car array, Shang Yu couldn't help but feel sad, and his heart was full of hatred for the Semu people.
When he saw that the family members and the maids also jumped into the water a thousand meters away, they felt a little comforted in their hearts, and if they could escape, one person was one person, and there were many soldiers on the other side, and for those twenty or so dart masters, they could not resist for long.
Despite this, Shang Yu still looked ahead with some concern, and at this time, he only felt that his body was abnormally cold, although the ground water was not frozen in winter, but he gradually felt a little itchy in his body under the biting cold.
At this moment, he saw hundreds of people of color eyes bypassing the convoy, rushing to the river, and suddenly releasing arrows into the river, and he couldn't help but shout: "Not good! They must have been killed! ”
Thinking of this, he helplessly watched the man release the arrow, but he couldn't stop it, so he couldn't help but lean over the wooden board and punch it hard, making a bang.
After about a quarter of an hour, he felt that his body was getting colder and colder, and he thought to himself: It seems that if I am not killed by the Semu people, I will freeze to death in this cold water. ”
"Wooden fish! I'm so cold. Just as he was thinking this, he heard a voice not far away.
Turning his head to look, he saw Lu Wan sitting on a large rock protruding from the river with his shoulders held not far in front of him, shivering, and his eyes were full of a desperate expression.
Shang Yu was suddenly surprised and delighted, originally thought that Lu Wan had already gone down the river, thinking that it would take a while to meet again, but she just floated out not far away, she climbed onto the water stone, couldn't help waving her arms, and with some effort, she scratched the wooden board towards the boulder, and when she was close to the boulder, she finally grabbed Lu Wan's hand and pulled her to the wooden plank.
"Xiao Wan! Hold on to me, we will go downstream, and in an hour we will be able to approach Yongchuan County, and then we will be fine! Shang Yu struggled to cheer up, one hand hugged Lu Wan tightly, and the other hand tightly grasped the plank, both of them did not know the nature of water, if there was no plank, they would naturally drown, it was because he was so careful.
Lu Wan hugged Shang Yu tightly and said with a shudder: "That water bag started to leak not far after I floated out!" Luckily I came across this boulder, otherwise I would have drowned! Muyu, can we still live? Those lustful people are so fierce! As he spoke, he began to sob.
And a heavy sound of horses' hooves sounded again, and the sound was not far from the riverbank.
Others were shouting, "Look! The second lady of the Nalu clan and the steward are in the middle of the river! ”
"Lord Baihu asked us to capture them alive, but the river is so fast, how can we go into the water to catch them?"
"It doesn't matter! Ten miles ahead there was a bridge, a small village, and if they had set up a net near the bridge and blocked it with boats, they would not have escaped! ”
When Shang Yu heard this, he couldn't help but gasp in fright, if this was the case, the two of them would fall into the hands of the Semu people.
"Xiao Wan! At the same time, we paddled to the opposite shore with our hands, and there were some mountains and forests in the distance, and if we entered the mountains, these people would not be able to track us! Shang Yu couldn't help but say to Lu Wan in his arms.
Lu Wan was so frightened that his face turned white after hearing the words of the people on the shore, but after hearing Shang Yudi's words, he immediately nodded and said, "Muyu! I listen to you, let's go to the other side! I can grasp the plank myself so that we can each have one hand free to paddle. ”
The two of them each grasped the plank with one hand, and with the other hand began to row hard towards the other side of the river.
