Chapter 5: The Dream 3
"It's finally here," Zhao Xiu said to Meng Xin.
Zhao Xiu got up and drove the curtain first, poked his head out, and looked out.
Narrow pass! Zhao Xiu's first feeling was oppression. The canyon in front of me is too dangerous.
Beside the car, Lian Squall was riding on a horse, already holding a large knife several feet long in his hand, and he kept looking around.
"Young master, there must be someone on the canyon, this is the last dangerous place to enter Liaozhou, and it is also the best place to ambush." Lian Que still didn't say a word, not that he forgot, but that he didn't dare to say it, for fear of affecting the morale of the whole team.
Zhao Xiu didn't care, "A terrain like this, surrounded by towering mountains on both sides of the jungle and central canyon, heh, I can't even go around, God wants me to die again." ”
Lian Que nodded slightly and didn't say a word. His face was furrowed, the veins on his temples were bulging, and his eyes became more determined.
The carriage continued to move, perhaps because everyone in the horse team also felt that they could not pass it alive, so they all slowed down unconsciously, and Zhao Xiu leaned on the wooden frame of the carriage and looked up at the sky.
The sky was blue, with only a few clouds.
Zhao Xiu shook his head and muttered: "It's not raining, but I won't let you die." ”
"Young master, do we stop, and if we go any further, we will enter the ambush circle." According to the terrain, according to his inference, the ambush circle is 100 meters in front of the horse, and even if he wants to retreat after entering the ambush circle, I am afraid it is an extravagant hope.
Zhao Xiu pretended to be calm, looked at the canyon, and thought of countermeasures in his mind.
Everyone in the horse team was waiting for the twelve-year-old boy to give orders, and these thirty people were very confident in him, and as they moved forward, they set their eyes on Zhao Xiu's body.
Zhao Xiu made a lot of decisions along the way, and none of them were wrong, from the beginning, everyone's shock to admiration and now dependence.
Time seemed to freeze, the knights on the horse were nervous with cold sweat on their heads, the canyon was getting closer and closer, and the canyon, which was almost impassable in front of the knights, became bigger and bigger, higher and higher, and heavier and heavier.
"There it is!" Zhao Xiu's faint voice was like a horn, and the thirty knights in the horse team all heard it carefully. The knights were suddenly angry.
"General Lian, let me ask you, if you are going to cross this canyon with heavy troops at this time, what will you do? Say it quickly, say it quickly. Zhao Xiu stomped his foot anxiously.
"Send a team, go into the valley first, and repeatedly confirm that it is ......"
"Okay, hurry up and find two, strong dead soldiers" Zhao Xiu squatted down and began to untie his clothes, a knife wound on his chest had ulcerated and pus, sticking to his underwear. As soon as his clothes were taken off, Zhao Xiu grinned in pain.
Lian Squall still didn't understand, and still sat on the horse.
Zhao Xiu stripped himself naked little by little, leaving only a small trouser. When he looked up, he saw Lian Que looking at him, and said helplessly: "Hide from the sky and cross the sea." ”
Lian Biao suddenly came to his senses, and ran back without saying a word.
At this time, at the upper end of the canyon, there was a team of people hiding on both sides, and each team had nearly 100 people. These people were uniformly dressed in black, with long knives of the same standard at their waists, and long bows and crossbows in their hands, and they were prostrate on the cliffs along the upper edge of the canyon. More than 200 people pointed their arrows at the approaching carriage.
The canyon is 100 zhang high, the upper end is narrow and not easy to observe, but it is easy to throw objects, and the lower end is wide but cannot be peeked upwards. In the eyes of everyone, it is definitely a desperate situation within a desperate situation.
The two people who were lying on the front and peeping down were the leaders of this team, "Here, this is the last chance, after this Fengjian Gorge, we will never have a chance again." ”
"General Zheng, I have already arranged it, this canyon is a Jedi, I have arranged forty cavalry at the entrance and exit of the canyon, as long as they go a hundred meters further, I dare to guarantee that no matter whether they advance or retreat, this must be their burial place."
The man in black, who was called General Zheng by the man in black, sighed, "Do you know who is the person holding the long knife in front of the horse team?" ”
"I don't know, but I've heard that man killed a lot of our comrades along the way."
"His name is Lian Biao, one of the four famous commanders of the forbidden army during the reign of the first emperor."
"Is that him?" The man in black looked surprised. "Isn't that the same name as you?"
"Silence!"
The horse team had reached the mouth of the valley, and the wind through the canyon was blowing towards the horse team, and the horse team stopped in response.
A burly man at the front of the horse team, with cold sweat on his head at this time, the guards of the horse team were not afraid of life and death after a hundred battles along the way.
Lian Biao, who was standing behind him, said: "Whether it succeeds or not, it depends on the sky, life and death are fate, go ahead." ”
The pot-bellied man nodded in response, and rode slowly into the canyon.
The fog at the upper end of the canyon was getting heavier and heavier, and the black-clothed leader stared downward, and he couldn't see clearly.
"General Zheng, the carriage stopped at the mouth of the valley, and a person came in. Do we get ahead of time? ”
"Stupid, this is just an outpost, the fog at the top of the canyon is so heavy, we can't see below from the top, he can't find us in the canyon at all, and even if they do, they will die. Just send the outpost over and let the people behind the canyon get killed. Our aim is to be foolproof. ”
"Understood."
None of the more than 200 people in ambush at the upper end of the canyon made a sound, and the arrows had been wound, but not a single arrow was fired.
At this time, Zheng Xinshi had no way of knowing what was happening in the canyon, in his eyes it was just an outpost riding a horse and slowly passing through the valley. And he was sure that the man was not the target of the trip, nor was it Lian Biao.
More than 200 people in ambush at the upper end of the canyon raised bows and arrows and short crossbows, and this time it was a man riding alone in the valley.
"It's him, it's him, Lian Squall has come in."
"What a cunning bastard, he actually went into the valley to check it out himself."
"Is that going to shoot him?" The man in black asked.
Zheng Xinshi's eyes stared at the boss, biting tighter at all, he wanted to kill Zhao Xiu, but he wanted to kill his old rival Lian Biao, he clearly knew the importance of Zhao Xiu, so he couldn't make up his mind.
Zhao Xiu and Lian Que never expected that at the top of the canyon at this time, Zheng Xinshi, the former commander of the forbidden army of Tianwu Kingdom, was leading the team. If he knew that Zheng Xinshi was on top of the canyon, Lian Squall would definitely not have taken the risk.
"Let everyone put their arrows down and keep their heads down so that they can't be discovered." Zheng Xinshi is a soldier, and he endured it at this critical juncture.
In the valley, Lian Squall was also breaking out in a cold sweat, he held the reins in his left hand and his right hand on his chest, if you don't get closer, you will never find that Lian Squall seems to have gained a lot of weight. Zhao Xiu came up with such a whimsical plan in such a short period of time, and even Lian Squall was a little scared.
