In the entire team, the most anxious person is Wu Yong. He knew he would be ambushed on the march, but he didn't know when the rain of arrows would come.

It's like you know that the sword hanging over your head is going to fall, but you don't know when.

Gradually, I felt the speed of travel slowing down.

Next to him, Bai Sheng said in a low voice: "Big brother, come into Fahua Temple!" Once you enter, it's not far from Zengtou City! ”

When I got closer, it was an ancient temple, and the regulations were not small.

Chao Gai got off his horse and entered the temple, but he didn't see the monks, and asked the two monks: "Why is there not a single monk in this big temple?" ”

The monk led the way forward and said, "It's that the Zeng family is annoyed, and they have to go back to the world." Only the elders and a few attendants lived freely in the tower courtyard. The leader temporarily stopped the people, and when it was deeper, the little monk led him straight to the village. ”

Chao Gai asked, "Where is his village?" ”

The monk said: "He has four villages, but in the north village, it is where the brothers of the Zeng family camp the army. If you only hit that stockade, nothing else matters. These three villages are just that. ”

Chao Gai said: "Can I go at that time?" ”

The monk said: "Now it's only the second watch, and when he stays for the third watch, he is unprepared." ”

In order to cover the eyes and ears, there is no lamp in the temple, and inside and outside the courtyard, there are military horses, and the soldiers of Erlongshan lie on the ground to rest.

At first, I heard the sound of drums in the Zengtou market. I listened to it for half a time, and I never heard a sound of more.

The monk said: "The sergeant in Zengtou City thinks he has fallen asleep. Now you can go. ”

The monk led the way, still holding a rope, Chao Gai took the generals on the horse, led the troops away from the Fahua Temple, and followed the monk to continue to move forward.

The ambush is bound to be on the next journey! Wu Yong sensed that the danger was approaching, so he took out the white cloth he had prepared, and asked the sergeant next to him to tie one to the tree on the side of the road after each step.

According to his idea, these white cloths were slightly conspicuous in the night, and in the chaos of breaking through, these road signs would be of great use.

Wu Yong salivated his face and said with a smile: "There are not a few pieces of cloth left in my hand, and the rest of the roads should be tied up, which can be regarded as a spiritual shed for the five tigers of the Zeng family." ”

Chao Gai was extremely satisfied with his explanation, so he did not entangle him any further.

Bai Sheng was beside Chao Gai, looking at Wu Yong strangely.

Gradually, Bai Sheng discovered a strange thing, Chao Gai was surrounded by a group of fireflies in front of and behind him, and he couldn't get rid of it.

And Wu used his hand to fan the fireflies flying around in front of him, and the fireflies seemed to have found the cover and followed.

Wait a minute! With so many glowing bugs chasing around Chao Gai, isn't that the best indicator light in the dark?

In the event of an ambush, this is the best target! Was it an accidental coincidence or was it intentional?

Bai Sheng was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Chao Tianwang, there are so many fireflies gathered around you, a little weird?" Dismount and walk for the time being, and hide in the group of sergeants to prevent the arrows from coming! ”

Chao Gai smiled: "Brother is too worried, the water and grass here are abundant, and some insects are normal." ”

The horseman Li Lao Liu also turned his head and smiled: "Before the firefly chases the horse, it is probably a good omen for the emperor to illuminate the way for the king." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Liu Tang rushing from the team.

Liu Tang said eagerly in a low voice: "It's not a big deal!" The two monks were missing from the shadows. The former army saw that the four sides of the road were difficult to walk, panicked, and did not dare to act, how is it good, please make a quick decision from the king of heaven! ”

When Chao Gai heard this, he still hesitated a little and said, "Didn't those two monks go the wrong way?" Have you been looking around? ”

Li Yun was anxious when he heard this, and said, "Looking for a fart!" If they really lead the way, even if they go across, how can they go far? Besides, there are ropes involved, how can they get lost? ”

Chao Gai was also panicked at this time, and said fiercely: "These two thieves and bald asses!" Walk! Come on! Then he turned the horse's head and went to and fro.

"Zhang Gong! Draw the knife! ”

In a hurry, Liu Tang did not forget to give a loud order, and with a flip of his hand, he had already taken the hard crossbow hanging on the horse in his hand.

The Erlongshan army had only walked less than a hundred and ten steps, and then they heard the sound of breaking through the air, and countless feathered arrows were already shooting towards the team with a strong wind!

Especially on the side of Chao Gai, there are especially many flying arrows!

Liu Tang was dressed in a bronze robe, blocking in front of Chao Gaima, the simple knife in his hand danced like a windmill, and the sound of "bell" rang out continuously, and he didn't know how many arrows he had knocked out.

The screams came and went in the Erlongshan army, and many soldiers had already been hit by arrows, and they didn't know where the arrows came from in the dark willow forest.

Chao Gai saw that an arrow from the top to the bottom of the soldier in front of him pierced his chest and pierced through his back, and the bow was so strong that he knew that the distance between the other party would not be too far.

"On the trees! The enemy army is in the tree! Li Yun shouted sharply and commanded the sergeants around him to fight back.

The sergeants with bows, as they ran away, fired an arrow at the canopy of a tree not far away. Since no one could be seen, it was purely indiscriminate shooting, and the damage was not obvious.

The second round of feather arrows has already roared, and at least half of them are coming in the direction of Chaogai!

Bai Sheng shouted: "Brother Chao, get off the horse!" Hide behind your horse! ”

As he spoke, he rolled over and dismounted, ripped off the cover and pushed him to the ground.

The feather arrows that flew over were knocked out by Liu Tang. I watched as the long arrows flew wildly, nailed to the trunk of the tree behind him, and there was a sound of "tuk tuk".

The rest swooped over Chaogai's head and shot his mount.

"Puff puff!" The muffled sound of arrows entering the flesh is incessant, and the horse may not be hit by twenty or thirty arrows?

I saw Chao Gai's tall black horse neighing in the sky, struggling and shaking a few steps, and then fell to his knees.

"Let's go!" Bai Sheng dragged Chao Gai and ran forward seven or eight steps, touched a thick willow tree, and sat down under the tree.

Chao Gai's body was already full of feathered arrows, and he gasped for breath as he pulled out several arrows.

Pulling and pulling, he suddenly pointed to his horse that had been shot as if he had seen a ghost, and cried out in a trembling voice: "Someone has harmed me! Someone hurt me! ”

Bai Sheng fixed his eyes and saw that the horse was lying motionless on the ground, but a large number of arrows continued to fly there, nailing into the dead horse's body or the surrounding ground.

It's all because there are fireflies flying around it!

"Horses! The problem is with the horse! Where's the groom Li Lao Liu?! Bai Shengchao looked around, it was pitch black, and he was nowhere to be seen.

The arrows all flew towards the dead horse, attracting most of the firepower, and Bai Sheng took the opportunity to continue to run forward with Chao Gai in his arms.

Liu Tang and Li Yun followed closely with some of their subordinates.

Most of the rest of the unsuspecting soldiers did not distinguish between things, and scurried with their heads in their hands, and the panicked neighing of horses, the violent cries of pain, the angry shouts and curses, and the cries for help were all in chaos.

Suddenly, the hill on one side lit up, and Wu Yong couldn't help but look up, only to see a torch lit, illuminating the figures on the mountain.

Liu Tang shouted loudly: "Draw the bow!" Shoot it over! Raise your knife! Rush over! Occupy the hill! ”

But the soldiers around him fled, and no one listened to him. What does it mean to be defeated, he can be regarded as finally understanding!

It is also understandable that these soldiers have not undergone rigorous training and are still a rabble.

Soon, the torches that had been lit on the top of the hill were thrown down. Hundreds of torches swirled in the air, illuminating the situation under the hills.

Except for Chao Gai just now, for the rest of the people, the enemy is dark and I am secret, although I can't shoot the enemy, whether the enemy can shoot himself or not depends on luck.

The torches fell to the ground, smashing sparks in all directions, and red flames were ignited on the ground, and the horses were frightened, their hooves moving wildly, and neighing in unison.

"Throw it back! Throw it back! Damn it, throw it back! Liu Tang just shouted!

The minions around him woke up like a dream, and immediately some people bent down to pick up the torches, but the shooters in Zeng Tou City greeted the people who went to pick up the torches as if they had already discussed it.

I only heard the sound of strings, and the feather arrows came in a flutter, shooting down a minions who went to pick up torches. Since then, the other Erlongshan minions have not dared to pick up, but they are just scurrying around, some hoping to break out, and some hoping to find a safe place to hide.

Judging from the actions of the Zengtou City Army on the other side, all this was a plan designed in advance.

First of all, he retreated without fighting, which made Chao Gai helpless and impetuous;

Sending monks to offer advice was like sending charcoal in the snow for Chao Gai, so he quickly believed in these monks;

In the darkness, silently ambushed in advance, Chao Gai's horse was haunted by fireflies, and became the focus of the first few rounds of arrow rain.

Now the fire is raised for more accurate shooting, and the results can also be tested to see if there is any shooting of Chao Gai.

At this moment, the torches that had been thrown down before had not been extinguished, and hundreds of them were thrown afterward, illuminating the whole hill as bright as day. Some torches smashed directly into Erlongshan Minions, and the pine resin and oil on them ignited their clothes, and suddenly several screaming and running fire men appeared in the team!

The next feather arrows only steadily harvested the lives of the minions of the Erlong Mountain Army, and in this short period of time, hundreds of people have been killed and wounded.

Chao covered them with the enemy, with the light and the enemy, the situation was extremely bad! Now there is no hope of extinguishing the torches, so I can only rush forward quickly, and how many people can survive counts!

Liu Tang turned around to look for Chao Gai, only to see that Bai Sheng, Li Yun, and He Qing had gathered around him with their own soldiers, and were running forward around him with his waist hooked.

Liu Tang breathed a long sigh of relief, and was about to turn his head, but saw several arrows coming to his body, some of which were bounced off by chain mail, and some were hanging on the iron hoop, but one arrow was different from other arrows, and the arrow was deeply inserted into his shoulder.

The shoulders were not a big deal, and Chao Gaiwu walked forward, but after a few steps, he staggered to his feet, and finally fell to his knees.

Liu Tang had already pulled out the arrow, and by the light of the fire, everyone couldn't help but be surprised when they saw the arrow! The arrow was specially made to have a tip thinner than a common armor-piercing cone, like a thick needle, so that it could easily pass through the thin iron ring of the chain mail and shoot into the body.

The tip of the arrow was jet black, obviously coated with poison, otherwise Chao Gai would not have fainted so quickly. The arrow shaft is also branded with the words "Shi Wengong"!

"It's over! Finished! Chao Gai was still hit by a medicine arrow! ”
