Chapter 226: Entering the Spring of Life (II)
Lan Ziyi followed the peach and the deer and horses, and rode in the lead, rushing into the city gate first, and thousands of tiger battalion soldiers followed closely behind him.
The smoke that permeated the urn city disappeared under the trampling of iron hooves, just now the clouds and mountains were covered with fog, and it was difficult to know the depth of the haze after being really stepped on, and the silent urn city and even the deep part of Shouchun City had long been empty, and Lan Ziyi would have missed the opportunity if he didn't enter the city just now.
Perhaps fear is only in the human heart, and those seemingly invincible and life-devouring obstacles may just be our constituencies.
Lan Ziyi led a group of cavalry to flock into the city,
Although there was no one in the city, the narrow streets restricted the deployment of many cavalry, so Lan Ziyi commanded on the horse:
"Big brother! You take people to the south of the city and take a look at the south gate!
General Lee! Take people to the east of the city and scout the east gate!
Second brother! Take people to the yamen and see what else is in the yamen and the treasury.
I don't need too many people to chase that gang of thieves, the third brother comes with me, a hundred people are enough! β
Hearing this, Tao Zhuhu said:
"There are no thieves in Ximen, it doesn't mean that there is no danger in the city, in case of an ambush by thieves, it will definitely not be enough for you to bring a hundred people, young master.
Point 300 people to defend themselves, and if there is danger, let us know by releasing arrows! β
Lan Ziyi didn't refute when he heard this, but just urged the horse to follow the sound of the hooves of the scouts who entered the city first.
Behind him, Tao Zhulu pointed out that the three hundred soldiers around him followed Lan Ziyi closely, and Tao Zhuhu, Tao Zhulu, and Li Guangzhong divided the whole army equally, and went in three directions, but in the blink of an eye, the four teams scattered like wolves marching separately, and went deep into the city.
Lan Ziyi and the three hundred soldiers galloped hard, and the sound of iron hooves hitting the stone bricks on the streets of the city made a crisp and loud sound like a storm, and the sound of falling metal projectiles like raindrops pierced the dead ruins around them, announcing to Shouchun City that the king had entered the city and that the thieves would be wiped out, but this sound came too late and was too lonely.
After turning several street corners, Lan Ziyi finally saw the scout cavalry opening the way in front, and these soldiers were also running with their lives.
Finally, after turning the last corner, Lan Ziyi and the scouts came to a straight continent, and the chased thief was stopping at the end of the road.
The thieves stopped not because they were cornered, but because the road led to the water gate northeast of Shouchun, and those who had escaped were dismounting and boarding the boat, and most of them had already boarded the boat, only the horses remained on the shore.
Seeing this, Tao Zhutu asked Lan Ziyi:
"Young Master, the thieves are about to run away! What are we going to do? β
There is no need to be reminded by Tao Chatu, Lan Ziyi also saw the scene of this gang of thieves leaving, and blamed him for delaying at the door for so long just now, but he didn't expect that there would be an answer in the thief city.
It is really difficult to catch the mouth alive until now, so Lan Ziyi had no choice but to order:
"Brethren, light the flaming arrow! Shoot the arrows! Burn that ship to me! β
Peach Rabbit heard the words and said:
"But the ship is so big that the horses can fit into it, and it won't be easily lit."
Lan Ziyi scolded angrily when he heard this:
"If you are told to release your arrows, you will release them, those thieves have already boarded the ship, and it is impossible to catch them on land, so don't you let me catch them in the water?
Shoot the arrows! β
Tao Zhutu was scolded back by Lan Ziyi, didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, picked up the bow and arrow, lit the fire arrow and immediately released the arrow,
The three hundred soldiers of the Tiger Battalion who followed were also ready, and when the peach chased the rabbit and released the arrows, the three hundred people followed and released the arrows together.
Arrows of fire pierced the night sky, lighting up the haze shrouded in smoke and dust,
There were still many thieves who had just boarded the ship and did not enter the cabin, and when more than 300 fire meteors fell, these people did not even have cover, so they screamed one after another, and the sound of falling water continued, and the remaining thieves hurriedly entered the cabin, shook their oars and walked away.
I don't know if the thieves were scared by Lan Ziyi or they were intentional, those horses were left on the dock by the thieves, Lan Ziyi and their three hundred horses rushed to the water's edge and were cut off by the horses, they didn't even touch the side of the boat, they could only take advantage of the fact that the thief ship was still in range and put a few rounds of fire arrows.
However, as Peach Rabbit said, the ship was too big for a small fire bolt to ignite, and when the ship was out of range, the thief came out of the cabin and doused the remaining burning arrows with water.
The soldiers finally separated the horses left by the thieves and made a way for Lan Ziyi, although Lan Ziyi already knew that it was impossible to catch up with the thieves, but he still drove his horses to the water's edge and watched the thieves leave.
This may be the last group of thieves to leave the city, seeing that their trend is going downstream, it should be Lei Youde's people, so why should they go east before leaving the city? Are you going to scout? Or is it possible that they are trying to seduce Lan Ziyi and them to come?
If it was really a seduction, how could Lei Youde know that Lan Ziyi and they came east, there were ranger scouts around the barracks, and it was impossible for there to be thieves who were eyeliner and not be discovered, and even if there were, it was impossible to report Shouchun so quickly.
Maybe Lan Ziyi's coming to the east is not a difficult news to guess, but since he wants to seduce Lan Ziyi into the city, why don't he set up an ambush in the city?
Many questions plagued Lan Ziyi, but since the thieves were leaving, let them go, the city looked like this, it didn't look like there would be anyone anymore.
Peach Chase Rabbit said a little timidly at this time:
"Young master, the thief is gone."
Lan Ziyi no longer had any anger and said:
"Let's go, how can we go."
Peach Rabbit asked:
"The young master was angry just now and couldn't catch the thief, why is he so open-minded now?"
ε °εδΉ says:
"It's not that I can't catch the thief just now, but I almost caught the thief, of course I'm going to chase after someone.
Now that I really can't catch the thief, what's the use of my liver fire. β
Peach Rabbit nodded, and asked again:
"So what do we do now?"
Lan Ziyi looked at the thief ship that had gone away, turned his horse's head and said:
"Go back to the city and take a closer look, don't really have thieves in ambush,
If the thief is really clean, I have to scratch my tongue, and I must know what happened in Shouchun City in the past two days. β
Then Lan Ziyi instructed a sergeant:
"You take the two people and return to the camp now, and tell Qi Hou Shouchun that the thieves in the city have been cleared, and he can even come tonight or tomorrow morning.
But I suggest he come back tomorrow so that the brethren can get a good night's sleep. β
After receiving the order, the soldiers hugged their fists and left, while Lan Ziyi led the soldiers to lead the horses they had just captured, and slowly returned along the same road.
Lan Ziyi had the opportunity to take a closer look at Shouchun City,
Compared with Ruyin, although Shouchun was also set on fire, the situation of the disaster was better than that of Ruyin, many buildings on the streets here have been preserved, but what is puzzling is that there is really no one in the city, Lan Ziyi and his soldiers have been tense for a long time and there is no one to see,
This is incredible, the city has perfect facilities, but there are no living people, but if the thieves slaughter the city, there are no corpses in the city, and not even a large blood stain can be found, so the only remaining explanation is that the thieves dispersed the residents of the city, or moved away, but the scouts have been fighting in Shouchun City for the past few days, and it is unlikely that there will be a large-scale entry and exit of personnel,
The specific situation can only wait until it stabilizes after settling down and carefully asking the scouts who have gone out to investigate in the past few days, and now ......
Just when Lan Ziyi was thinking, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in the darkness in the depths,
The soldiers immediately drew their bows and arrows and pointed at the source of the sound,
But before the centaurs arrived, the voice had already arrived,
Someone in the darkness said:
"Don't release arrows, don't release arrows, I'm here with General Zhulu, looking for the guard."
When the soldiers heard the words, they naturally didn't let go of the arrows casually, but they still pulled their bows and aimed ahead, knowing that this horse appeared in everyone's field of vision, and only after confirming that it was their own people did the soldiers put away their bows and arrows.
Lan Ziyi asked:
"What is the second brother looking for me?"
Coming man says:
"When the government encountered thieves, General Zhulu asked the Marquis of Wei to come over."
When Lan Ziyi heard this, he immediately urged the horse to say:
"Lead the way."
The soldier immediately turned around, and Lan Ziyi and his knights accelerated away with him,
When he ran wildly, he immediately asked the person who came to report the news
"If you meet a thief, why don't you ask for two other reinforcements, there are only three hundred people around the young master, so it won't help much."
The sergeant who reported the message replied:
"There are not many thieves in the government, we can deal with it, but these thieves are the elite of the thieves, and the second general judged that these people seem to be the guards of the Heavenly King, so he immediately sent me to inform the Marquis of Heaven."
Lan Ziyi was even more energetic when he heard this, and he didn't speak, but just added another horsepower, urging the horse to gallop.
When he arrived in front of the palace, Lan Ziyi saw that the government had been tightly surrounded by soldiers, and several soldiers were riding on horses to guard the entrance of the office, and there were several elite thieves next to the door.
Lan Ziyi slowed down his horse, turned over and dismounted without waiting for the horse to stop, and the peach rabbit behind him also dismounted.
After dismounting, Lan Ziyi stopped the other soldiers from dismounting together, and then asked a few soldiers on horseback:
"Where is the second brother?"
The soldier clasped his fists on his horse and replied:
"Back to Weihou, the second general has already killed people with people."
At this time, there was another scream from the government support, and the sound sounded like someone had been beheaded.
Lan Ziyi didn't speak, and took Tao Zhutu and ordered two more sergeants to enter the house.
The road is not difficult to find, there are soldiers who leave handles along the way, as well as the dead bodies of thieves and blood trails dragged all over the ground to guide the way.
Soon Lan Ziyi came to the backyard of the mansion, Tao Zhulu led people to guard the gate of the courtyard with bows and arrows, and when he saw Lan Ziyi coming, Tao Zhulu only nodded slightly, and then shouted into the courtyard:
"Surrender and I'll surround you from death!"
Lan Ziyi came to Tao Zhulu and asked:
"How many others?"
Tao Zhulu replied:
"There were only three left, one was dying, one was seriously injured, and the other dragged two people in."
As soon as Tao Zhulu finished speaking, there was a violent knock on the door inside:
"Heavenly King! King! Why didn't you just leave? Why don't you open the door? Now the demon has surrounded you! β
When Lan Ziyi heard the word "Heavenly King", his eyes lit up, and when Tao Zhulu saw this, he immediately signaled to the soldiers around him to do it.
The soldiers led their bows and covered each other and slowly walked into the courtyard gate,
Before that, the thief had slammed open the door of the back room and entered the house.
Lan Ziyi followed the back row into the courtyard, and saw that there were two thieves at the end of the bloodstain outside the door of the house, and then he heard the chaotic sound of furniture falling to the ground in the house.
At this time, Lan Ziyi couldn't bear it anymore, put aside the soldiers in front of him and walked to the door, and Tao Zhulu and Tao Zhutu pulled bows and arrows to protect Lan Ziyi.
Standing at the door of the house, Lan Ziyi saw that there was only a flickering candle on the table in the room, which was almost extinguished by the wind.
The thief, covered in blood and with several arrows stuck in his body, stood motionless in front of the chair next to the table.
Since the thief was facing away from Lan Ziyi, Lan Ziyi couldn't see his face, but the thief was obviously deeply hit, he laughed out loud little by little, and the scattered laughter gradually connected into a line, and then turned into a crazy laugh of distraction,
When he was tired of laughing, the thief slowly turned around, drew his sword and said:
"Lei Youde, you are a good means!"
After that, the thief pierced his throat with a sword, and cut off his head with both hands.
And Lan Ziyi and the others saw the answer to the thief's words after the head fell to the ground,
It turned out that on the chair blocked by the thieves was sitting the thief king with his throat cut apart.
