(Xie: The life of the kite, love Ruotong, and the rewards and monthly passes of several brothers.) It's the beginning of the month, and some of the free monthly passes can be given a few. ）

Time passed little by little, and the night fog in the mountains wet the grass tips and leaves, and also covered the hair and face with a layer of wet dew. Night insects chirped, the long howls of wild beasts came from the mountains and forests, and the majestic sound of forest waves when the wind passed through the forest sea.

Wang Yuan and Gongsun Lan snuggled behind a small mound of dirt, breathing and smelling each other, their ears and temples grinding. From time to time, they look at each other, and their mood is peaceful and happy. The boring waiting time was not boring for the two, Wang Yuan hooked Gongsun Lan's little hand, wrote on her palm with his fingers, and wrote seven or eight love poems in length and short. Although Gongsun Lan rolled her eyes at Wang Yuan from time to time because of those fleshy sentences, she was very sweet in her heart.

I don't know how long it took, Wang Yuan had just finished writing the poem 'I wish to be a winged bird in heaven, and I wish to be a branch in the earth', and when Gongsun Lan was gazing at Wang Yuan gently because of these two poems, he suddenly heard a crisp 'crackling' sound on the hillside north of the dam. It was the sound of a tree branch breaking.

Wang Yuan immediately became alert, listened carefully, and heard the movement of Xi Suosuo coming from the hillside, but in the noisy sound of Lin Tao and waves, he listened carefully and carelessly.

"Someone's coming." Gongsun Lan's ears were very strong, and he heard much more clearly than Wang Yuan, and reminded Wang Yuan in a low voice.

Wang Yuan turned around and whispered an order, and the orders were whispered one after another to everyone's ears. Everyone raised their crossbows and waited with bated breath in the dark sky above the embankment, but the sound of footsteps on the embankment was clearly heard, and against the background of the sky, the figures of the barbarians running on their waists were clearly exposed.

The figure quickly approached dozens of paces away, Wang Yuan raised his bow and crossbow to aim at the crowd, and silently pulled the trigger. Crossbow. The bowstring of the bow 'jumped', followed by a scream of 'ah' pierced the night sky, and with a 'poof', a brute was hit by a crossbow arrow and fell into the dam on the inside of the embankment, splashing a drop of water.

"Jump! Jump! Jump! The sound of the crossbow firing immediately resounded all around, and the powerful and ferocious penetration and speed of the arm-flap crossbow were almost impossible to dodge at such a close distance, piercing the brute's body with a single blow. In just an instant, none of the more than fifty crossbow arrows missed, and more than thirty barbarians were unconsciously pierced by the crossbow arrows and fell into the dam screaming. Puff puff splash splash unlimited.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? "Someone was yelling so loudly that they hadn't even figured out what was going on.

The second round of crossbow arrows was fired again, and dozens of barbarians screamed and fell, this time the barbarians finally understood that they had been attacked by the Dao, and someone roared loudly: "Enemy attack, enemy attack." ”

Hundreds of barbarians who stepped on the dam to dig the embankment were suddenly in chaos, and many people turned around and fled, but how could they escape the pursuit of the crossbow arrows, and after turning around, they were immediately hit by arrows in their hearts, screaming and falling to the ground. The clever man immediately chose to lie on the ground, so that the crossbowmen lurking on the slope of the embankment would not have an angle to shoot them, but they would inevitably suffer from trampling. Wow wow screamed and the big feet of the barbarians who fled back trampled on their bodies indiscriminately, trampling on the arm bones and metacarpal bones of a dozen smart people.

Ge Luofeng, who was standing on the grass outside the forest on the hillside, heard the screams coming from the embankment, and shouted loudly to inquire about the situation, and some barbarians quickly reported that there were enemy soldiers and men attacking with bows and crossbows in ambush on the embankment. Ge Luo Feng scolded angrily, and his first reaction was to retreat quickly, but he couldn't bear to give up such a good layout, so he calmed down and asked about the enemy.

Soon after, the barbarians who had escaped back to the hillside reported the situation on the embankment, and Ge Luofeng immediately realized that the number of the other party was actually small. Because there was no way to hide many soldiers and horses on the embankment, and only a small group of people could sneak in, so that they could hide from the soldiers in charge of reconnaissance who were keen hearings in the mountains and forests.

"There were not many of them, and the archers suppressed them with bows and arrows, and ordered people to throw torches to check their position. In any case, the embankment must be excavated. Ge Luofeng ordered sharply.

The number of Nanzhao soldiers and horses is thousands, and they were originally prepared to lead these thousands of soldiers and horses to take advantage of the chaos to kill the ** who escaped, but they didn't expect it to be really crooked at this moment. If it were only to dig a gap, it would only take two or three hundred people. He had already lost more than 200 people from a sneak attack just now, and if that was the case, the only way to go into the mountains at this moment was to hurry into the mountains and slip away.

The brutes quickly recovered from their panic, and although the hundreds of people who went up to the embankment to break the embankment were almost killed and wounded in a strong crossbow attack just now, it was true that the number of people in the ambush was not large, because only a few dozen people were hit by crossbow arrows in each round of attacks.

The barbarian archers quickly gathered and shot arrows into the middle of the embankment with their longbows to suppress it, and the rain of arrows poured down, which really suppressed the people below the embankment and couldn't raise their heads, after all, it was a dense gathering of hundreds of archers. Then, under the cover of bows and arrows, a group of brute soldiers lit torches and rushed up to the dam, approaching the middle of the dam, and threw torches over. Hundreds of torches pierced the night sky and landed on the embankment, illuminating the surrounding light and even igniting the dead grass on the slope of the embankment.

Soon after, dozens of ** men slowly crawled to a suitable position within the firing range in a prostrate posture. Several ** crossbowmen had just shot with their probes, and after a few sounds, they were shot by **, and without screaming, they slid down the slope and fell into the mud on the outside of the embankment.

The death of these crossbowmen also gave the barbarians a hint that the hiding location was on the slope on the outside of the embankment, so the focus of the bow and arrow shooting shifted to the slope, and soon several ** were killed by random arrows, and the situation was suddenly extremely bad.

"I'm going to deal with those hateful ** hands, otherwise I won't be able to fight back, and I will be killed by random arrows one by one." Gongsun Lan said in a deep voice.

As soon as Wang Yuan wanted to object, he saw Gongsun Lan rise into the air and instantly appear on the embankment. Dozens of brute soldiers immediately pointed their long blow pipes at Gongsun Lan, 'Tututu! Dozens of poisoned arrows were shot at Gongsun Lan. Gongsun Lan held the cloak in her left hand and turned it quickly, like turning a huge shield, all of those ** were swept to the ground by the cloak, and her figure advanced dozens of steps in an instant, the cold light flashed, and a long sword in her right hand was already in her hand.

Wang Yuan yelled: "Cover." Shoot. "Rising from the slope, he shot a crossbow at the barbarian archers on the hillside with his arms stretched out. Dozens of crossbowmen were not afraid of the arrows falling from the sky, and they all shot a round at the archers on the shore.

'Puff puff', more than a dozen archers were killed by crossbows from a long distance, and a brute guard standing in front of Ge Luofeng was also hit by an arrow and fell to the ground, startling Ge Luofeng.

Looking at Gongsun Lan again, and the crowd of dozens of ** hands who pounced like a tiger into a flock of sheep, these ** hands were close to Gongsun Lan as soon as they had time to load **, the sword light flickered, the blood light splashed, Gongsun Lan's sword flashed up and down, left and right, and every time the cold light flashed, one person was killed, and in a moment, a group of ** hands were all killed.

Ge Luofeng pointed at Gongsun Lan and shouted, "Shoot him, shoot him." ”

The barbarian archers bent their bows and arrows, and the 'buzzing' bowstrings rang out in one piece, shooting a rain of arrows at Gongsun Lan's location. Gongsun Lan's body jumped up in the air, the sword light in her hand flashed, blocking more than a dozen arrows, and her body threw herself into the shadow on the outside of the embankment like a bird, and the afterimage of the black arrows slid across the night sky, chasing her figure and falling.

Wang Yuan shouted in shock, his body rushed up the embankment, dropped the crossbow arrow, and flew down the slope with dozens of steps under his feet. Liu Jun and the crossbowmen were busy leaning out and shooting continuously at the shore to cover Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan jumped down the slope, and the sound of bows and arrows sliding past him 'swished', but the only thing Wang Yuan thought about was what happened to Gongsun Lan, the large number of arrows chasing her just now fell, and I don't know how she lived or died.

"Come here." Someone shouted in the shadows.

Wang Yuan was overjoyed and rushed there, only to see Gongsun Lan leaning there with her body tightly attached to the slope.

"Is my cousin okay?" Wang Yuan hurriedly asked.

Gongsun Lan gritted her teeth and said, "It's okay." ”

Wang Yuan saw her frowning, hugged her left arm, and hurriedly leaned over to look, only to see that Gongsun Lan had a feather arrow stuck in her left arm, and blood stained her clothes red. Wang Yuan was shocked, and hurriedly reached into his arms and took out a small packet of medicine and shouted, "Take the medicine quickly, maybe it's poisonous." “

Gongsun Lan smiled and said, "It's not poisonous, I can smell it." He drew an arrow for me. ”

Wang Yuan cut off the arrow with a sharp sword, grabbed the handle of the arrow and pulled it hard, and pulled the arrow out. Gongsun Lan snorted violently, frowned, and said, "You don't say a word." “

Wang Yuan apologized while pouring a large packet of gold sore medicine on her wound, and took out a cloth towel to firmly tie the wound, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"We're just delaying until reinforcements arrive, so why do you have to fight so hard?" Wang Yuan complained.

Turning his head and looking at the darkness at the entrance of the valley, he scolded: "This Song Jiangong, there is a mess here, at least half an hour has passed, he actually did not move, I want to settle accounts with him when I go back, and he has not appeared yet." Wang Yuan scolded angrily.

As if he heard Wang Yuan's complaint, he saw a torch flickering at the entrance of the valley, and a large number of torches appeared at the entrance of the valley a moment later, and in an instant it was a sea of torches. It was Song Jianquan leading a large group of ** cavalry to wade up the river and gallop over.

Wang Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "It's here." ”

The barbarian soldiers looked at the ** cavalry rushing below in astonishment, and heard the sound of shouting and killing like an angry wave, and their faces changed sharply.

"Lord, what should I do?" A brute guard asked.

"Hmph, I was already waiting for support at the bottom of the valley, and I had hoped to dig the levee before their reinforcements arrived, but now I had to evacuate. But it doesn't matter, play with them slowly. Remove. ”

As soon as Ge Luofeng waved his hand, all the barbarians immediately withdrew, ignoring the shooting of Liu Jun and the crossbowmen chasing the buttocks in the rear, and quickly disappeared into the mountains and forests without a trace. Liu Jun didn't dare to approach the woods, so he had to give up.
