Chapter 27: The Abandonment of the Old Buddhist Temple (1st Update)
There was a plain to the south of Xiapi City, and Gao Cheng led five hundred cavalry all the way across the fields quickly, and he could see a rolling mountain range in the distance, and on one side of the mountain range, the originally spacious official road became slightly narrower.
"Mi Ying, how far is it from the place where your second son is trapped?" Gao Cheng slowed down slightly and asked the leader of the guard beside him who was in charge of the five hundred Mi Clan's cavalry. This Mi Ying was the sixth-layer warrior who had been beside Mi Zhu before. His strength is still outstanding in the Mi clan and is quite courteous. However, this time he was facing a bandit leader who had cultivated seven levels, which was beyond his ability.
Mi Ying has a stout body, and he is quite powerful with a halberd in his hand. He glanced forward and said, "In front of Jiufeng Mountain, the second son and the young lady are now trapped in an abandoned Buddhist temple behind Jiufeng Mountain! At our current speed, we will be able to arrive in more than half an hour!"
Gao Cheng nodded, it was only half an hour, trapped in the Mi clan guards of the Buddhist temple, there were several martial artists who were not weak, and even if they were not the opponents of the bandit leader, they could hold out for a while.
The war horses that everyone sat down on were all good horses carefully bred by the Mi family, and their speed was extremely fast and their endurance was strong, and after half an hour, Gao Cheng's powerful vision immediately saw that there was a dilapidated Buddhist temple halfway up the mountain. Thousands of bandits in disheveled clothes surrounded the temple with weapons.
The gate of the temple has disappeared, and two carriages are lying at the door as a barrier to keep away horses, and dozens of Mi guards in strong suits are shouting and shouting, constantly brandishing swords and spears, and engaging in fierce battles with the attacking bandits.
There were also three figures fighting each other in the crowd, full of energy, and the surrounding guards and bandits did not dare to approach. It can be seen that two of them are the leaders of the Mi clan's guards, and their strength is even stronger than Mi Ying, and the two of them work together to entangle a knife-wielding man opposite, and they do not hesitate to exchange their injuries for their lives, barely resisting the opponent's attack.
The walls on both sides were full of traces of vigorous bombardment, and they were already crumbling, and if the bandits hit it a few more times, they would collapse with a bang. Without the walls, thousands of bandits would soon be able to swarmed in and drown the guards in the temple.
"Fortunately, it's not too late!" Gao Cheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene, then took the long lance in his hand, exerted the speed of the war horse to the limit, and without saying anything, he directly led five hundred cavalry directly into the rear of these bandits.
The roar of horses' hooves echoed in the mountains and forests, and the two sides who were fighting turned their heads to see the rolling iron hooves rushing towards them, and the guards who were struggling to resist at the gate of the Buddhist temple saw the clothes on these cavalrymen, and immediately showed a look of ecstasy.
"Reinforcements! Reinforcements are finally here!"
"Great, we are finally saved! Five hundred cavalry charges will definitely be able to defeat these bandits!"
These guards cheered one after another, the physical strength that had been exhausted to the limit suddenly recovered some, the fierce desire to survive made them feel very spirited, the reinforcements sent by the eldest prince had arrived, they rushed back one after another, killing the bandits at the door and retreating again and again.
......
In the ruined Buddhist temple, several seriously injured guards were lying on the ground, next to them was a teenager who was about sixteen or seventeen years old, this young man's appearance was somewhat similar to Mi Zhu, and his blood was relatively vigorous, and he already had the strength of about four layers of training, and he was holding a little girl about five years old in his arms, and the pink carving was very cute.
The young man is Mi Zhu's second brother Mi Fang, he has never experienced such a life and death crisis when he is so old, he used to have a big brother as a backer when he was in danger, but at this time the eldest brother was not there, and no one could help him. It made him very frightened in his heart.
It's just that when Mi Zhu saw the little girl in his arms, he could only forcibly pretend to be fearless, his other hand held the long sword tightly, and he was determined to protect the little sister even if he fought for his life.
At this time, he suddenly heard the cheers and shouts of the guards outside, and his nerves, which had been tense, suddenly relaxed, and then his face showed surprise, and he hurriedly took his little sister outside, just in time to see five hundred cavalry coming down the mountain and crashing into the rear of the bandits.
Although the number of these bandits is large, they are basically a rabble, and if it weren't for the strength of the bandit leader, these people would not be able to threaten the Mi clan's convoy at all.
With only the two escort commanders of the Mi clan, these people could be killed, and five hundred trained cavalry rushed into a group of rabble, like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves, and thousands of bandits were scattered in an instant.
Pei Yuanshao and Mi Ying showed all their strength, and with a wave of the long lance, a bandit was picked up and flew away, and with a long knife, blood gushed out. It's like two killing machines, constantly harvesting the lives of thousands of bandits.
Gao Cheng ignored these ordinary bandits, but set his sights on the bandit leader, at this time, the three figures on the mountainside each shot and collided, and there was a violent roar, and the bandit leader and the two guard leaders of the Mi clan were each shocked by the aftermath and took two steps back to show their respective appearances.
The two guard leaders of the Mi clan are about thirty years old, the person in the leader has a calm expression, he has reached the peak of the sixth layer of training, and the other guard has a trace of fear on his face, he is also a warrior of the sixth layer of training, but his strength is slightly weaker. When you fight with the bandit leader, you must be cheered up, and if you are not careful, you will be killed by the other party in seconds.
The leader of the bandits, who was pressing the two of them, was short and sturdy, and his face was full of fierce aura, and his face showed a look of anger at this time, and he turned his head to look at the five hundred cavalry below, and hissed: "Okay! It is worthy of being the richest Mi clan in Xuzhou, and he actually found a master to help him in such a short time! But just with a warrior who has cultivated seven layers of strength, it is like defeating me, impossible!"
His eyes showed ruthlessness, staring at the two guard leaders in front of him, and said: "As long as I capture this kid Mi Fang, and there is a hostage in my hands, what can your cavalry do even if they break my men? You two guys, give me death!"
As soon as the words fell, this person waved the long knife in his hand, and a knife roared out, as if it could tear the air apart, this move he used all his strength, and no longer cared about the other party's life-for-injury play. Pointing directly at the vital point of the two guards.
The faces of the two people on the opposite side changed instantly, they joined forces to resist the bandit leader for more than a day, not because their strength was equal to the other party, but whenever they encountered danger, they would tacitly use the same way to end up, so that the other party had scruples and did not dare to really fight hard.
Now that the reinforcements have arrived, and one of them is a powerhouse of the seventh layer of training, the Mi clan has already gained the upper hand, and it seems that it will be safe soon, and it will be very cost-effective to end up with the other party.
Therefore, when the leader of the bandits did not care about his injuries at all and released the aura that could only be released by the seventh-layer breath realm of training, the two hurriedly retreated, not daring to face him directly.
"Good opportunity!" The bandit leader flicked his wrist, and the sword qi swept and blasted out a hole in the wall in front of him, and suddenly saw Mi Fang inside the Buddhist temple, his eyes lit up, and he was ready to rush towards the other party with a little footsteps.
"Ah, second son, be careful!" One of the guard leaders didn't expect this retreat to give the other party a chance, and hurriedly shouted, and the whole person flew over to block in the middle, the second prince Mi Fang must not fall into the hands of the bandit leader, otherwise, when he returns to Xiapi, the eldest prince will definitely not let him go. Even family members will be angry.
