Chapter 244: Ruan Naito (10)

Fang Shan's shout was not so much to his own subordinates as to the man in black under the wall. After repelling the first wave of attacks from the men in black, the soldiers of the East Factory on the high walls of the post station were exhausted, and at this time, if the men in black under the wall attacked again, it would be difficult for Fang Handle to ensure that his subordinates could withstand it.

Hearing the shouts of the square handle, the men in black also spotted the government troops who were quickly approaching from the west of the official road, and one of them let out a long whistle, and all the men in black at the scene immediately turned their horses' heads and disappeared into the woods south of the post station in an instant.

The officers and soldiers with torches in their hands quickly rushed to the front of the post station, led by a general with a three-pointed spear, and shouted at the post chief and Fang Shan, who were standing on the high wall: "I just heard the gunfire here, what is going on?" ”

"It's Mr. Lan, right? This is the master of the Dongchang Torture Thousand Households, and he led his team to pass through this place before he was attacked by a group of unidentified black-clothed people. The post commander shouted at the generals under the wall. It seems that he and the generals below know each other.

"The last general, Lan Jinshui, the chief soldier of Menggui Mansion, see Lord Fang! The last general is late to escort, and I hope that Lord Fang will forgive his sins! After listening to the post chief's introduction, Lan Jinshui hurriedly jumped off the horse and saluted the square handle on the wall.

"Lord Lan is exempt. A gang of gangsters attempted to attack the post station and engaged in a fierce exchange of fire. Thanks to the timely arrival of the Lan people, they were scared away. Fang has to thank you. ”

"Your Excellency's words are serious. Protecting the peace of one side is the last thing to do. I wonder where those gangsters fled? The last general immediately led his team in pursuit, and they were definitely arrested. ”

"Forget it. That gang of gangsters are all fast horses and long knives, and I'm afraid they have run away. You don't have to chase after you, just be on guard in front of this post station in case the gangsters attack again. ”

"Yes. My lord. The last general led the 1,000 brothers under his command to escort the adults. Adults are welcome to go back to their rooms to rest so as not to affect tomorrow's itinerary. ”

"Then there's Master Lauland's bother."

"It is an honor for the last general to be able to serve Lord Fang. Lord Fang, please go back to your room and rest. ”

Fang Bing looked at the thousands of officers and soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding sharp weapons below, a hanging heart finally fell, he waved at his subordinates in the wall, signaling them all to go back to the room to rest.

Early the next morning, the post chief prepared breakfast for Fang Handle and the others early.

After breakfast, under the escort of the officers and soldiers led by Lan Jinshui, Fang Shank followed the Menggui Post Road and successfully arrived at the Menggui Mansion.

In Menggui Mansion, the Dongchang soldiers replenished some ammunition, stopped for a while, and continued on their way.

From Menggui Mansion, head west into the plains. On both sides of the flat and wide post road, there are thousands of miles of fertile fields.

Fang Handle continued to lead the team on a gallop. A few days later, they arrived at Tianjiayu, twenty miles east of Tongzhou.

Tianjiayu is the only valley within a hundred miles east of Tongzhou. The whole valley is open and the land is fertile and green grass is abundant. Due to the unique geographical topography, most of the nearby residents graze cattle and sheep here.

In the middle of the valley is a post road that winds along the course of the valley.

When Fang Shant and the others arrived at the mouth of the valley east of Tianjiayu, it was dusk. The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the vegetation in the valley, casting a golden veil over the entire valley.

Visually surveying the length of the entire valley, Fang felt that he could pass through Tianjiayu before dark, and then, find a village west of Tianjiayu to spend the night.

"Everyone speed up and try to cross Tianjiayu before dark. Then find a village to rest in

。 Fang Handle urged everyone.

Since they were about to arrive at the jurisdiction of Shuntianfu in Beijing, everyone was much better mentally and physically than before. Hearing the order of the square handle, the officials of the Dongchang immediately spurred their horses, protected the envoys of Yihe, and quickly drove into the mouth of the East Valley of Tianjiayu.

At this time, there are few people in the valley, and the people who came here to graze cattle and sheep have long since left the area and returned to their homes.

In the whole valley, only the neighing of war horses and the rolling of hooves could be heard.

The group had just turned a corner, and on the post road in front of them, a herd of cattle suddenly appeared returning at dusk. I saw the herd of cattle coming quickly towards this side under the shouts of the three cattle herdsmen.

Hundreds of green oxen roamed mightily, crowding the not very wide post road in the valley.

Seeing that the green oxen were blocking the road, the square handle motioned for everyone to stop and lean to both sides as much as possible to allow the herd to pass.

But the next scene made Fang Shant suddenly feel a little bad. I saw the three cattle drivers in front of them seeing Fang Shank and others standing on both sides of the post road, and suddenly flicked the bullwhip in their hands and drank the herd. Hundreds of green oxen suddenly rushed towards this side like crazy.

Imagine if it were a normal cattle herder, and the road ahead was full of people, the normal reaction would be to drive the herd carefully so that the herd would not hurt people. Besides, it was evening, and if it was a herd of cattle that had just finished grazing and returned at dusk, the cattle herd would not let the herd that had just eaten their stomachs run quickly.

"Protect the good and make peace. Beware of deception! In the face of an unexpected situation, Fang Shant decisively gave an order when he did not have time to retreat to Taniguchi.

As soon as Fang Shan's words fell, the crazy herd had rushed in front of him.

Although everyone has tried their best to stand on the side, the large number of green cattle who are completely out of shape still rush the formation of the Dongchang soldiers to pieces.

Escorted by several Tosho soldiers, Naito avoided a sturdy green ox and retreated to the top of the valley. Suddenly, from under the dozen green oxen beside them, more than a dozen masked black-clothed people suddenly appeared, only to see them twist from under the belly of the cow to climb onto the back of the cow, and then jump into the air from the back of the ox, raise the cross bow in their hands at a very fast speed in the air, and aim at Naito Ruan.

I could only hear a dozen whistles of "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......", and more than a dozen crossbow arrows shot at Naito Ruan in unison.

Naito Ruan and several guards beside him were unable to block more than a dozen sharp arrows from high in the air for a while, and they were hit by the arrows and fell off their horses. Naito Ruan was hit by several arrows and fell to the ground and died.

Seeing that Naito Ruan was killed, Fang Shant immediately took out the Wansheng Buddha wolf machine on his waist in a fit of rage, and fired three shots at the three green cows in front. The three green oxen suddenly fell to the ground.

The slaughter of the cows, coupled with the loud sound of gunfire, caused a great confusion among the herds, and they scattered in such a way that the whole valley was filled with raging bulls.

"Kill them!" Fang Handle let out a loud shout, and then led his subordinates to chase after the dozen or so men in black.

Seeing that Naito Ruan was successfully shot, the man in black at the scene immediately rode on the back of the green ox and fled quickly.

The soldiers of the East Factory automatically dispersed, and in groups of three or five, they pursued more than a dozen black-clothed men who fled in different directions.

After all, the speed of the green ox is much slower than the speed of the war horse. didn't chase far, and the Dongchang soldiers caught up with each other one after another, taking advantage of the advantage in numbers, and killed the black-clothed men who were in charge of chasing each other.

The man in black, who was chased by Fang Shank and the two Dongchang officials, was thin and small, and his movements were extremely flexible.

Although riding on the back of an ox, Fang Handle and two of his men fired several shots, but they were deftly dodged by the opponent.

It was this thin-looking man in black who hit Naito Ru'an in the throat with an arrow, causing Naito Ru'an to die instantly.

While effectively avoiding the bullets in the back, the man in black used the cross bow in his hand from time to time to shoot sharp arrows at the square handle and the other three behind him.

The three of them had to dodge while riding their horses in pursuit.

After three shots, Fang Shank and the other three put away their guns, pulled out the embroidered spring knife from their waists, and continued to chase the man in black in front.

Chasing them to a place close to the mouth of Tianjiayu East Valley, the three of them finally caught up with each other and surrounded each other in the middle.

"Capture him alive." Fang Handle commanded the two subordinates.

The two subordinates who received the order immediately raised the embroidered spring knife in their hands, and together with the square handle, trapped each other in the middle.

"Why don't you get off your horse and surrender?" Fang Handle shouted at the man in black who was riding on the back of the ox.

"Don't think!" The man in black replied and pulled out a nine-section soft whip known as the "Eleventh Thunderbolt" from his waist.

The eleven thunderbolt whip is composed of a whip handle, a whip head and nine steel knots in the middle, each of which is connected by three rings, so it is called: "Eleven Thunderbolts". The whip head is a conical spear head that can be used not only for wheel smashing, but also for stabbing and stabbing.

The man in black stood on the back of the ox with his whip in both hands, ready to face the battle.

"Look for death!" Fang He scolded angrily and waved his knife to look at the man in black. The other two officers also wielded their knives and attacked the man in black from two other directions.

I saw the other party attacking me from three directions. The man in black took turns to use the nine-section whip in his hand and struck at the three opponents on the periphery.

These eleven thunderbolts are known as "picking up like wheels, dancing like steel rods." Take back a group, let go of a piece, retract like an insect, and shoot like a dragon". It is more suitable for fighting in the case of one enemy.

Fang Shank thought that in a three-on-one situation, he could easily subdue the opponent and capture him alive. Which Cheng thought, the seemingly thin man in black danced the soft whip in his hand, and actually forced the three strong martial arts Dongchang soldiers to be difficult to approach.

Elbows inside and outside, deceived horses left and right, white snakes spit letters, left and right clothed in red, silver dragons spit water...... The soft whip in the hand of the man in black can be said to be a move to kill and a style to hurt people.

The two sides fought for more than a dozen rounds, and it was difficult to tell the winner.

At this time, the other Tosho and Michiko Kato finished their battle and rushed over and surrounded the three people who were fighting in the middle.

The man in black saw that the other party was surrounded by a large number of people, and he suddenly felt a little weak, and his moves were not as seamless as just now.

Fang Handle saw the opportunity and stabbed the opponent in the back as he struggled to deal with the long knives cut by the other two soldiers.

At the moment when the blade of the embroidered spring knife in the square handle was about to stab the opponent's back in the heart, the man in black turned around and dodged the blade of the square handle.

The square handle took advantage of the momentum and stabbed the opponent in the face with a flick of the blade.

The man in black shrank his neck and gave way to the blade. But the man in black's movements were still a little slower, and the tip of the square-handled knife instantly picked the hood of the man in black.

"Ahh The man in black screamed in surprise, picked up the soft whip in his hand and struck at the square handle.

The square handle had to withdraw his knife to dodge.

As the hood on his head was picked off, a thick hair instantly spread over the head of the man in black.

It turned out to be a woman!
