Due to the separation of the straits and the lag of intelligence, when Zhao Lie ordered Zhang Ba to cross the sea to attack, Zhang Jue led the escort team to Luzhou. This is still the land route he took instead of the sea route, otherwise he would have entered the base camp a long time ago. The sea route is not only close but also easy to walk, Zhang Jue came by boat when he entered Leizhou, and the reason why he went back to change to land was precisely because Su Jingyu led the fleet to attack and kill the Yuan army's maritime patrol ships everywhere, and received an early warning, for the sake of safety, Zhang Jue had to abandon the boat and drive the horse, and return to Luzhou by mountain road.

Zhang Jue also knew very well in his heart that the sooner he transferred troops into Leizhou, the sooner he could stabilize the chaos and besiege the elite of the Song army - Zhang Jue was very sure that the group of people was elite, because the weapons in their hands were small and powerful, and they had never seen it before, it must be the legendary Lianzhu musket, which was by no means equipped by the ordinary Song army, and it was very likely to be the mysterious and powerful "Great Song Martial Arts Team".

Zhang Qi had previously asked his subordinates to take the warrant first, quickly rushed to Luzhou, gathered troops, set sail and anchored, and were ready to go. In this way, you can return to Leizhou as soon as possible and determine the overall situation.

And Zhang Ba crossed the sea at this time, and in terms of time, he may not be able to successfully intercept Zhang Jue.

At this time, it was getting late, and at the foot of Yingfeng Ridge, a team of knights dressed in uniform round-necked brown shirts and hats turned the corner and was galloping rapidly. More than 60 horses, plus more than 20 spare horses, nearly 100 horses, the whole mountain road hooves like thunder, booming and trembling.

Yingfeng Ridge is not high, it is only seventy or eighty zhang (more than 200 meters above sea level, the second highest peak in Leizhou), but it is a typical stone mountain, it has been attacked by the sea breeze for tens of millions of years, the strange peaks are protruding, the strange stones are building, looking at it in the dim sky, as if there are countless demons and monsters hidden in the snooping.

In the billowing smoke and dust, the knight who took the lead subconsciously raised his head and squinted while galloping on his horse, and muttered: "The appearance of this mountain ridge makes people feel furious when they see it, and they don't know what's going on." ”

At this moment there was a shout from behind: "Stop-stop-the commander orders to stop the march." ”

The mountain road was suddenly full of gray and neighing horses, and when almost all the knights reined in their horses, only one horse was still galloping, and the smoke and dust dispersed, revealing the face of the knight, which was Zhang Qi, the general of the Yuan army.

Zhang Qi was also dressed, and there was no difference at all in the cavalry. In order to speed up, he ordered all the guards to unload their armor, reduce their loads, and hurry up, so that they could cross the Eagle Peak Ridge before dark, and look into the distance from the mountain road on the left, Luzhou was in sight.

However, at this time, looking at the Eagle Peak Ridge like a monster crouching, Zhang Qi's heart was also filled with the same uneasiness as the knights under his command, and between speed and safety, he chose safety.

"Dismount and put on your armor. Wu Sheng, you lead the three brothers up the flat hill over there to take a look. Zhang Qi dismounted as he spoke, and asked the guards to open the package on the spare horse, take a full set of armor, and put it on for him.

Such a hot day is covered with armor and bumps, it is called a hard work, even if it is night, it is not much cooler. The guards secretly complained in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say more than half a word, and they dismounted and put on their armor one after another.

Wu Sheng and the other four horsemen finished draping, took off the cavalry arm shield from the saddle, put it on the forearm, and then took out heavy weapons such as swords, iron whips, crescent axes, bows and arrows from the weapon bag, and quickly ran towards a gentle slope covered by miscellaneous trees on the right side of the mountain road.

The men had just plunged into the woods when there was a sudden thud that was striking in the silence of the mountain road.

Zhang Jue had just put on the scale armor and was putting on the iron helmet, and he couldn't help but feel a thrill when he heard the sound - he was too impressed by this sound, just two hours ago, he was almost killed by such a sound, and now there was a faint pain in his chest, and the broken scale armor had not had time to be replaced.

"It's gunshots! There is an ambush! Zhang Qi took the big bow off the saddle and grabbed an arrow in one hand.

"Lord Steward, there are not many Song people in the forest, only a few ......" Wu Sheng, who was covered in blood, staggered out of the woods and shouted at Zhang Qi to report the news.

There was a bang behind him, a blood flower exploded in Wu Sheng's chest, the sound stopped abruptly, his knees weakened, his bones rolled down the hillside, and his body slammed heavily on a protruding stone, silent.

Zhang Jue immediately made a decision, using the horses as cover, and shouted loudly while aiming with his bow: "I heard it, there are not many Song people, leading the horse as a cover, and quickly rushed into the forest......"

Seven or eight black things suddenly were thrown out of the woods, bouncing and rolling down the hillside, some directly into the horse's belly, and some simply smashed on the horse.

"What's that?"

Someone had just shouted and asked, and what answered him was a series of earth-shattering explosions.

For a time, the smoke on the mountain road was billowing out, the fire was soaring into the sky, and the horses were scurrying, colliding and trampling. The Yuan soldiers were either killed by the bombing or trampled to death, and they were even knocked out of the mountain road by startled horses, rolling all the way from the left hillside, I don't know how many branches were broken, and I don't know how many sharp stones were scratched and bumped, only to see a shocking road of flesh and blood......

Click, the arrow in Zhang Jue's hand landed, and his whole body trembled, what kind of weapon is this, he will destroy nearly half of his guards in one fell swoop. First the muskets, then the muskets, and now this kind of thing ten times more terrifying than the earth-shattering thunder...... If this continues, will the bow and arrow in your hand still be useful?

After two more huge explosions, four people rushed out of the woods, their long and short guns in their hands slammed endlessly, tongues of fire sprayed, and the guards fell one by one, powerless to fight back. These guards were first bombarded by ten explosives packets, then crushed and rammed by startled horses, and finally washed by a violent rain of bullets, and few survived.

These guards are all elites personally selected by Zhang Jue, all of them are good at shooting, brave and brave, and confidently encounter with the Song soldiers, with one enemy three, or even five enemies. Unexpectedly, after a while, he almost died cleanly.

"Your Excellency, go! Come on! Several guards around Zhang Qi struggled to hold a war horse, helped Zhang Qi to get on the horse, and pulled out a knife and stabbed into the horse's stock.

The war horse neighed, and the severe pain made it run wildly. The remaining seven or eight guards were struggling to shoot arrows, or draw their swords and rush to the hillside - Zhang Jue did not raise this team of guards in vain, and at the critical moment, they exchanged their lives for a glimmer of life for the master.

The black ape and several other martial arts team members fired several shots at the galloping war horse, but they didn't hit, and one of the team members was also shot by the guard, watching Zhang Qi go away.

The horse galloped like a fly, the gale was like a knife, the gunfire behind him was intermittent, and the heart was like a handful of red-hot iron sand, burning the heart and lungs, and almost vomiting blood.

Zhang Jue looked crazy, and desperately kicked the horse's belly with a spur, kicking it bloody. He hates! The young man was in a high position, high-spirited, and fought with his father for several years, never running away in front of the enemy's eyes, only the enemy's escape in front of his eyes...... Today, however, he escaped, and moreover, twice!

He hated, he was ashamed, he was ashamed—suddenly, his hairs stood on end, and he had a creepy feeling of being watched by a hunter, and that feeling of extreme danger came from a leafy tree on the side of the mountain road twenty paces ahead.

Zhang Jue's eyes widened, with enough eyesight, staring at the front, only to see that it was black and nothing. Even so, he trusted his feelings, hiding in a stirrup, hiding under the horse's belly.

Twenty steps.

Ten steps.

Five steps.

The horses galloped under the trees, and nothing happened.

Zhang Jue turned over the saddle and deliberately glanced up at the tree, although the sky was dark and his vision was blurred, he could still tell if there was someone or not.

"No one, a false alarm......"

Zhang Qigang breathed a sigh of relief, and with a bang, the helmet bounced off, and a ball of blood exploded on the back of his neck.

Before Zhang Jue fell headlong, the last thought in his mind was: "It turns out that someone is really ......"

The branches rattled, and one person jumped down and glanced at Zhang Jue: "Hey, kill a big official." Little Yijie's sniper rifle is really good. ”

The man smiled, revealing white teeth, and the rest of it was black.

Martial arts team member, Kuromaru.
