Chapter 241: Ruan Naito (7)

With a piercing whistling, a dense stream of arrows flew from the top of the opposite cliff.

"There are assassins! Protect the envoys! Fang Handle shouted, waved the embroidered spring knife in his hand, and fired the arrow that roared quickly.

Hearing Fangshan's order, the three Dongchang officials who were in charge of guarding Naito Ru'an did not dare to slack off, and forcibly pressed Naito Ru'an to the side near the cliff and made him squat on the ground. Then the three of them stood up to a human wall, blocking Naito Ruan, and at the same time using the embroidered spring knife in their hands to keep dialing the arrows that were shooting at this side.

Michiko Kato blocked in front of Shen Weijing, using the ninja knife in her hand to block left and right, and blocked the sharp arrows that came one by one.

The other Dongchang soldiers also stood in their respective positions, using the embroidered spring knives in their hands to shoot the arrows.

The square handle flicked the arrows while observing the situation on the opposite cliff. He found that on the opposite cliff, masked men in black stood on top of the cliff, and they were standing on the rocks at the top of the cliff, constantly shooting arrows in this direction.

Most of the arrows shot by these men in black came towards Naito Ruan's location. In this way, they are coming to negotiate peace with the Japanese state.

More than 200 people are crowded on the narrow plank road, which will inevitably bring inconvenience to everyone's movement. Although these Dongchang soldiers were carefully selected masters of square handles, the narrow space still hindered the play of their skills, and five or six Dongchang soldiers were shot by arrows, fell off the plank road, and were swept away by the torrent.

"No, we have to get out of the passive situation quickly, otherwise, it will be difficult to get out of this canyon." Facing the unfavorable situation of the opponent's condescending and our side being beaten passively, Fang Shan decisively took out the Wansheng Fran machine (a kind of short-range musket) that he carried with him from his waist, and then ordered his subordinates in a loud voice: "All pay attention, prepare to launch the Wansheng Fran machine." Starting with the people in front, in groups of twenty, they were fired in turn. Get ready! ”

Before setting out from Beijing, Fang Shan, just in case, specially ordered these 200 Dongchang soldiers to be equipped with Wansheng Fulang machines for use in case of urgent need. Now, with the enemy's dense array of arrows trapping everyone on this narrow plank road, it's time for the huge firepower of the Victorious Franc to come in handy.

"Launch!" Fang Shant saw with the peripheral vision of his eyes that the subordinates in front of him were all ready to win the Franc machine, and immediately gave the order.

"Bang, bang, bang......" With a loud sound that resounded through the valley, twenty Wansheng Buddha wolf machines spewed out flames and shot at the enemy at the top of the opposite cliff.

"Ahh......h

"The second and third groups are launched at the same time!" Square Handle ordered again in a loud voice.

There was another loud bang, and forty projectiles of the Victory Fur Machine whistled and shot at the man in black.

Another group of enemies were shot and fell.

The powerful firepower immediately suppressed the enemy on the cliff on the opposite bank, and they stopped shooting arrows and hid behind the rocks, not daring to show their faces.

"Speed up and move quickly through the boardwalk." Seeing that the other party stopped shooting arrows, Fang Handle immediately commanded in a loud voice.

The people on the pier had just moved forward, when they saw three tall and healthy men in black suddenly stand up on the opposite cliff, each holding a powerful crossbow in their hands. I saw that the three of them each picked up a long arrow with a thick rope from their side, and then, squatting on their horses, bending their bows and arrows, and shooting the long arrows in their hands at the wallstone above the plank road below.

"Bang, bang, bang!" With three muffled sounds, three long arrows were embedded in the rock. Three thick ropes that fell across the air appeared in mid-air about two meters above the heads of Fang Shank and the others.

"Yo-roar-roar-" A shout suddenly came to mind in mid-air.

The people on the road looked up and saw countless black-clothed people holding thick ropes in one hand and wielding long knives in the other, shouting in unison and falling from the sky.

"Protect the envoys, slay the demons!" Fang Shant let out a loud shout, waved the embroidered spring knife in his hand, and cut down a man in black who had just landed on the plank road.

Hearing the order of the square handle, the twenty Dongchang servants held a knife in one hand and a gun in the other, and surrounded Naito Ruan in the middle.

The men in black were obviously coming at Naito Ruan, and they jumped from the suspension rope to Naito Ruan's location one after another, slashing at him with a knife.

More than 20 soldiers around Naito Ruan, facing the black-clothed people who rushed to him, used guns and knives in their hands to shoot and slash them one by one.

Fang Shant commanded the other battles to move closer to Naito's position, and almost all of the troops of the East Factory were put into the queue to protect Naito Ruan.

The three black-clothed men who jumped off the rope surrounded the square handle in the middle, and used the goose feather knife in their hands to slash at the square handle. Seeing the three long knives coming, Fang Handle did not avoid it, he raised one arm up, used the embroidered spring knife in his hand to hold the opponent's three Yanling knives, and then flew up and kicked at the crotch of the man in black in the middle. The other party screamed, fell off the plank road, and fell into the water.

The other two black-clothed people took advantage of the opportunity of kicking with the square handle, their arms were forced, and the two Yanling knives pressed the square handle arm numb, and the whole body had to sink and bend the knees, half-squatting on the plank road.

"Ahhhhh Seeing that they suppressed each other, the two men in black threatened each other and forced the square handle to the cliff.

Fang Handle was not afraid, his body was against the cliff wall, one arm was holding the opponent's two long knives, the other hand was violently raised, and two hidden arrows shot out of his left sleeve, hitting the throats of the two men in black respectively.

The two men in black who had been hit by the arrows threw away the long knives in their hands, covered their bleeding necks in pain, and retreated. Square Handle followed, flew up with two feet, and kicked the two men in black into the water.

Michiko Kato was entangled with the four black-clothed people around her at this time in order to protect Shen Weijing, and saw her holding the ninja knife in both hands, and her figure was wandering in the eyes of the four black-clothed people holding the Yanling knife.

Compared with the Yanling knife, the ninja knife is much shorter, and in the small space of the plank road, this short ninja knife is more conducive to giving full play to its stabbing technique. The longer Yanling knife is mainly used for slashing, and the narrow plank road limits the power of the Yanling knife.

Michiko Kato's steps were nimble and her body was erratic, and in the blink of an eye, she was in the shuttle position, cutting open the lower abdomen of the two men in black. The two men in black lay on the ground in pain and withdrew from the fight.

Seeing that their companions were injured, the other two men in black both roared loudly and slashed at Michiko Kato from two directions, one high and one low.

Michiko Kato saw that the opponent's blade was difficult to dodge, so she had to retreat. When her body was about to retreat to the cliff, Michiko Kato turned around suddenly, jumped up, kicked the cliff with her feet in the air, her body suddenly flipped, and the ninja knife in her hand drew a beautiful arc in the air, cutting the throats of two black-clothed men holding long knives one after another. Immediately after, Michiko Kato flew out with two feet in the air, kicking the two men in black out and falling into the rolling flood.

"Those who kill the envoys of the Japanese Kingdom will be promoted to three levels and rewarded with 10,000 taels of gold!" Seeing that it was difficult to get hold for a while, one of the men in black shouted loudly.

Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men.

Hearing the shout, the rest of the men in black swung their knives desperately and rushed to the place where Naito Ruan was. In the small space, it was suddenly crowded, and the knives in the hands of the warring parties were already difficult to use at this time, so they had to hug and beat, use mouth bites, choke necks, etc., in order to kill each other.

Naito Ruan hid in the innermost part of the crowd, looking in horror at the people on both sides who were fighting to the death, no

Sukeji cowered on the edge of a cliff, his whole body trembling.

On top of the three thick ropes that lay in mid-air, men in black kept coming down from the opposite cliff to join the battle.

Michiko Kato stabbed a man in black in front of her with a knife, and then ran up, with the help of the rebound of a cliff rock, jumped into the air, and slashed at the three thick ropes above her body. Helplessly, due to the high position of the thick rope, the ninja knife in her hand failed to cut the thick rope.

Michiko Kato, who fell to the ground, kicked away a man in black who rushed to his side, and then shouted at Fang Shan, who was not far away, "Help me and cut the three thick ropes on it." ”

At this time, Fang Bing had just chopped the two black-clothed people who were entangled in him to the ground, and when he heard Michiko Kato's shout, he immediately understood, he quickly put the knife into the sheath, tied the horse on the spot, crossed his hands and folded his waist and abdomen, and got ready.

Michiko Kato ran with a run, and her feet gently jumped into the palms of the upper handle.

"Hey!" The square handle supported Michiko Kato's feet, roared, kicked the ground with both feet, and pushed his whole body up, lifting Michiko Kato up violently.

With the help of the strong upper support of the square handle, Michiko Kato was shaped like a swallow, and her whole body rose into the air, and the height had already crossed the thick rope.

"Brush, brush, brush!" Michiko Kato raised her knife in the air and cut off three thick ropes. Then he landed lightly on the ground and rejoined the ranks of the fighting.

"Ahh......h Screams rang out from the scene.

Without the addition of follow-up troops, the black-clothed men on the plank road were quickly defeated by the extremely combat-effective Dongchang Fanji and Michiko Kato, and the last few injured black-clothed men were besieged under a cliff, which was already vulnerable.

"Leave a living mouth." Fang Shant shouted, led his subordinates to rush forward, slashed most of the remaining black-clothed people to death, and then, controlled a relatively thin black-clothed man.

Fang Handle ordered most of the soldiers to raise their guns to guard against the surprise attack on the opposite cliff, and then came to the captured man in black.

Learning the lesson of the last time the man in black swallowed poison and died, Fang Shant ordered the two servants to control the hands of the man in black, and the other to pull his hair from behind him, making it difficult for him to bite the button on his neckline.

"Say, who are you?" Fang Handle asked coldly.

The man in black suffered multiple injuries on his body, bleeding from his wounds. Hearing Fang Shan's question, he simply closed his eyes and waited for death.

"It's tough. Okay, it's okay not to say it, let's wait slowly. Go, take him, and get out of here! Fang Shant saw that the other party was completely like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and it was difficult to make him open his mouth in a short time. Simply no longer delayed, and decided to lead the team to leave this dangerous place as quickly as possible.

"The gunmen are on strict alert against the enemy above, and the others protect the envoys of the Japanese kingdom and move forward quickly!" Square Handle commanded loudly.

All the Dongchang soldiers who were armed with the Victorious Franc machines walked on the side close to the flood, and as they went, they cautiously raised their guns sideways and looked at the top of the opposite cliff.

Fortunately, there was no shadow of the man in black on the opposite cliff.

Walking out of the valley, a wide river appeared in front of him, into which the rushing flood water flowed, stirring up huge waves.

Below the plank road, on the bank of the river, is an open green meadow. In the afterglow of the setting sun, herds of cattle and sheep are returning home to the shouts of herders.

Fang Handle led everyone to the middle of the meadow, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he looked at the peaceful scene of the sunset in front of him.
