Chapter 34: Ambushed
Although these people deliberately concealed their identities, Ruan Ning and them have dealt with people from the Xicheng Government in the past few years, where can they not recognize them!
"Is it Luo Yi?" Longbow picked up the arrows and knives all over the ground, wiped the blood from them, stepped forward, and asked in a deep voice.
Ruan Ning shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be, Luo Yi really wants to do something to us, it is the best opportunity in Xicheng, and he doesn't have to go through such a big effort." ”
Zhang Yufu also restrained all the smiles on his face, raised his eyes to look in the direction of Broken Soul Mountain, which was not far from them, and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid that something has happened, let's go back to Qingfeng Village first." ”
Ruan Ning and Longbow nodded, without any delay, turned over their horses, raised their whips and galloped away in the direction of Qingfeng Village.
But they had gone less than ten miles before they were once again ambushed.
If the previous twenty people were temptations, then this ambush was almost determined to take their lives.
As soon as the three of them rode into a canyon, rockfalls continued to fall from the canyon. Almost all of those falling rocks are half a person high, and once they are hit, they will either die or be injured!
Looking at the falling rocks around them, the faces of the three of Zhang Yu's servants became more and more gloomy.
Suddenly, Zhang Yufu looked at Ruan Ning's back and shouted loudly, "Ruan Ning, be careful!" ”
Ruan Ning was startled, looked up suddenly, and saw a half-human-high falling rock, which smashed down on her upright.
What was even more frightening was that the horse she sat down on stopped because it was frightened, no matter how Ruan Ning drove it, it had no effect.
"Damn it!" A trace of murderous intent flashed in Zhang Yufu's eyes, he held the silver spear behind his back with his backhand, jumped forward, tapped his toes on the horse's back, and carried the light gong towards Ruan Ning.
As he walked towards Ruan Ning, he quickly turned the silver spear in his hand and knocked away the falling rocks from the sky.
But even though he rushed to Ruan Ning's side in the shortest time with the fastest speed, he still took a step.
The huge falling rock fell and grazed the shoulders of Ruan Ning, who couldn't dodge.
Ruan Ning's clothes on his shoulders were cut by falling stones, and his skin and flesh were blurred by the rubbed flesh. The smell of blood spread, making the frightened horse when the three of them sat down more and more frenzied, and did not listen to the call at all.
Seeing that it was hopeless to drive the horse away, Zhang Yufu looked at the longbow that rushed over, and said with a calm face, "Abandon the horse!" You take her forward, I'll break off, quick! ”
Longbow nodded, put Ruan Ning's arm on his shoulder, and ran towards the outside of the canyon quickly.
Zhang Yufu followed closely behind the two, constantly waving the silver spear in his hand, picking up the falling rocks.
Just when there was a feeling of soreness in Zhang Yufu's arm, the three of them finally reached the other end of the canyon, and they could leave here if they had a distance of ten zhang.
However, before the three of them could breathe a sigh of relief, countless arrows flew towards them from both sides of the canyon.
"Hiss......"
A muffled snort came, Zhang Yufu turned around to look, only to see that the longbow was unprepared for an arrow, and her body took two steps back under the impact of the arrow, directly pulling the abrasion on Ruan Ning's back shoulder, which immediately made her face white in pain.
Seeing that Ruan Ning and Longbow were injured one after another, Zhang Yufu gritted his teeth, raised the silver spear in his hand, and with all his strength, he quickly slashed dozens of times at the bottom of the canyon one after another.
As he moved, rubble flew everywhere, and in a short time several deep and shallow scratches appeared on his cheeks and the back of his hands.
About a quarter of an hour later, where his silver spear had slashed, there was an extra cave large enough for the two of them.
Looking at the cave, Zhang Yufu said in a deep voice, "Hide in!" ”
Ruan Ning frowned and looked at Zhang Yufu, and asked anxiously, "What about you!" ”
Zhang Yufu raised his head and looked at the arrows that kept flying from the top of the canyon, and his voice was as cold as the ice of the nine cold days, "Don't get rid of the archers above, none of us want to leave here!" ”
After that, regardless of Ruan Ning's unspoken dissuasion, Zhang Yufu quickly climbed up from the canyon with the help of the silver gun in his hand.
At the bottom of the canyon, Ruan Ning and Longbow, who were hiding in the cave opened up by Zhang Yufu, could no longer hear any other movement except for the sound of arrows constantly coming.
"No! He just killed it like this, in case it ......" Ruan Ning treated the wounds on his body with himself and the longbow from the wound herb in the skin pouch on his waist, and saw that Zhang Yufu had not come back yet, and said with a worried face.
The longbow probe looked out, but before he could see anything, he was forced back by a steady stream of arrows.
Shaking his head at Ruan Ning, the longbow said in a deep voice, "The arrow rain outside is too dense, we are injured, and we can't get out at all!" ”
Seeing the anxious look on Ruan Ning's face, Longbow continued, "Yinlong is not an impulsive person, and he won't do things that he is not sure of. Wait another half an hour, if there is no movement, I will cover you to kill you! ”
Knowing that what Longbow said was true, Ruan Ning nodded helplessly and responded.
In just half an hour, for her and Longbow, it was almost like a year.
Only half of the time passed, Ruan Ning, who was pranayama with his eyes closed, opened his eyes suddenly, looked at the rain of arrows outside, and asked with some uncertainty, "Is the attack outside weaker?" ”
Longbow leaned over, nodded, and said, "It's probably the silver dragon that killed it." ”
Ruan Ning stood up with the mountain stone and said in a deep voice, "Let's go, let's go help him!" ”
The longbow was no longer in the way, and he took the bow and arrow in his hand and walked out cautiously.
The two of them were about to follow the example of Zhang Yufu before to climb the canyon, but they heard the sound of horses' hooves in front of them.
Looking up, I saw Zhang Yufu riding a fast horse, quickly avoiding the rain of arrows, and coming towards them. Behind him were two horses of excellent condition, which were not afraid even as they flew through the rain of arrows.
"Get on the horse!"
Hearing Zhang Yufu's voice, the two did not hesitate and turned over on their horses.
"Hiss......"
With the neighing of horses, the three turned their horses' heads and rushed out of the canyon.
Out of the canyon, Ruan Ning couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, looked sideways at Zhang Yufu, and asked, "Where did you get such a good horse?" ”
Zhang Yufu sneered and said, "Where can the horses in the army who have been on the battlefield be!" ”
Hearing Zhang Yufu's words, Ruan Ning and Longbow both fell silent.
If they had seen the skills of the twenty men in black who had blocked their way and the things they were using, they had only been a little suspicious. So the current interception, as well as the three military horses that Zhang Yufu stole from him, provided the most powerful evidence for their suspicions.
Shields, arrows, these things, maybe someone can get them out of the army. But the military horse, even if there is a monstrous background behind it, it is impossible to get it!
Just as he was thinking, the sound of horses' hooves was heard not far behind him.
When the three of them looked back, they saw a hundred people chasing after them on horseback.
"I caught up so quickly!" Zhang Yufu frowned, and the expression on his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
"Did you bring the thunderfire bomb?" While driving the horse forward, he asked Ruan Ning and Longbow without looking back.
Ruan Ning smiled palely and said, "Bring it!" I'm afraid that you will go to Xicheng to die, before leaving, Lei Huo gave me a lot of survival! ”
Zhang Yufu breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the surrounding terrain, and said in a deep voice, "That's good!" Throw the longbow at the surrounding mountain walls. Ruan Ning, when the longbow blows down those mountain walls, you can smash them into the pile! ”
As he spoke, Zhang Yu's servant also took out a few thunder bombs from the leather bag on his waist and threw them towards several nearby mountain walls.
"Bang ......"
The explosion sounded, and several surrounding mountain walls collapsed, and the yellow sand filled the sky, and a barrier was formed between the three of Zhang Yu's servants and the pursuers behind them.
Ruan Ning's eyes flashed with a bit of ruthlessness, he clenched the thunder fire bomb in his hand, and threw it towards the barrier raised by the yellow sand.
As an explosion rang out, screams rang out from behind the barrier.
Seeing Ruan Ning gritting his teeth and preparing to throw a few more thunder bombs, Zhang Yufu smiled and said, "Go first, this trick won't trap them for long." ”
After galloping forward in the direction of Qingfeng Village for about seven or eight miles, the assassin who was temporarily thrown away by Zhang Yufu and others caught up again.
Listening to the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer behind him, Zhang Yufu frowned, and the killing intent in his eyes was not concealed at all, "These people are really not giving up!" ”
Raising his eyes and looking at the Qingfeng Village boundary that was close at hand, Zhang Yufu pursed his lips and said decisively, "Abandon the horse!" ”
Longbow was stunned for a moment, looked up at Zhang Yufu, and said with a little disapproval in his eyes, "The big boss is seriously injured, and now he abandons the horse, we have no chance to return to Qingfeng Village." ”
Zhang Yufu squinted his eyes at the terrain in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "Even if we don't abandon the horse, with the current situation of the three of us, it is absolutely impossible to return to Qingfeng Village!" ”
The pursuers behind them chased too closely, and even if they used all the thunder and fire bombs they carried on their bodies to stop those who intercepted and killed, they wouldn't be able to hold out for long. Once the thunder and fire bombs in their hands are exhausted, there is no other way for them to wait for them except to be surrounded and killed.
Listening to the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer behind him, and then looking at the expressions on the faces of Zhang Yufu and Longbow, Ruan Ning took a deep breath, shook his head at Longbow, and said in a dumb voice, "Listen to him!" ”
Longbow's face was a little ugly, but he didn't say anything more, and with the movements of Zhang Yufu and Ruan Ning, he turned over and dismounted.
After dismounting, Zhang Yufu jerked the horse's back, causing the painful horse to move towards the direction of Broken Soul Mountain with four hooves in the neighing sound. Then, he took out the few thunder bombs left on the three of them, and imitated the previous way to make one last stop on the pursuers behind him.
Thunderbolts were thrown, and the surrounding mountain walls collapsed with a bang, and the yellow sand was filled, easily blocking the sight of the pursuers. Frightened and neighing, the horses sat down, slowing down their pursuers once more.
In the churning yellow sand, Zhang Yufu raised his hand and pointed in a direction, asking the longbow to take Ruan Ning to hide first.
Longbow looked sideways, and saw that the direction pointed by Zhang Yufu was a cliff.
The letter was suspicious of the approach, but Longbow couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Looking at this place from a distance, it is indeed a cliff. However, when I got closer, I found that it was nothing more than a geological fault in the Gobi Desert. On the left side of the road, there was a low-lying area about two people high, not very low-lying, but it would be good enough to hide five or six people.
Seeing the yellow sand behind him gradually dissipate, Longbow gritted his teeth, and Ruan Ning, who was seriously injured, jumped into the low-lying area. For the sake of prudence, he and Ruan Ning leaned forward, leaning forward as far as they could, as close as possible to the low-sinking curb.
