"Don't listen to them, they're fake county lords!" Yuan Zhen roared: "The military order is like a mountain, and those who resist the order will be beheaded on the spot." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The soldiers suddenly quieted down, and it could be seen that Yuan Zhen's military discipline was quite strict.

Yuan Zhen waved his hand, and several columns of cavalry behind dismounted, passed through the gap in the cavalry in the front, and knelt on the ground on one leg before the cavalry.

Wei Xianyun couldn't help but gasp when he saw the weapons in the hands of these people: these sergeants were holding cavalry crossbows in their hands.

The crossbow is the standard weapon of the Tang army, and there are crossbowmen among the Tang infantry. Compared with bows and arrows, strong crossbows have time to aim calmly, and shoot far and accurately, so cavalry and crossbowmen cooperate to fight, and the power is greater. Due to the laborious and time-consuming winding of crossbows, cavalrymen generally did not use strong crossbows on horses, but hand crossbows.

Although the cavalry hand crossbow is not as powerful as the strong crossbow, it is more than enough to deal with their flesh and blood.

"Get down!" Wei Xianyun shouted.

As soon as Wei Xianyun's words fell, the crossbow arrows came with the sound of the wind. The crossbow arrows are iron-arrowed, the arrows are eight inches long, and a crossbow and ten arrows are fired, and the power is really amazing, and a few slow ones were suddenly penetrated by the crossbow arrows, and they were killed instantly.

Including Li Zhiying and Jiang Xiaotong, everyone was lying on the ground.

Yuan Zhen gave an order, and the people with crossbows got up again and led the cavalry to continue forward.

Under the suppression of the opponent's crossbow, everyone in the dart team didn't dare to move, seeing that the other party was getting closer and closer, Zhang Baoer was anxious, and turned his face to look at Wei Xianyun.

Although Wei Xianyun was lying on the ground like them, he was not as embarrassed as them, and he looked much calmer than them.

Is there a way for him to deal with it? Zhang Baoer couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in her heart.

At a distance of more than twenty paces, suddenly several black dots flew towards the sergeants.

"Boom" With a few loud noises, smoke and dust suddenly rose everywhere, blocking everyone's sight.

When the smoke cleared, two of the crossbow-wielding sergeants fell to the ground and wailed loudly, while the rest stood there stupidly and bewildered. The horses of the cavalry were also frightened, and the formation was disorganized.

Could it be a grenade? This was Zhang Baoer's first reaction. If it is in later generations, this is still possible, but this is the Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago, how can there be a grenade?

"What is this?" Zhang Bao'er asked in horror.

Long Zhuang was well-informed, and he replied: "If I guessed correctly, this should be the thunderbolt of the Lei family's unique firearm in Jiangnan!" It's the first time I've seen it, and I didn't expect it to be so powerful! ”

Wei Xianyun smiled slightly: "Mr. Long's dart head has good eyesight, and he is indeed a thunderbolt of the Lei family." ”

Zhang Bao'er stuck out her tongue: "No wonder Mr. Wei is not in a hurry, it turns out that there is such a powerful killing weapon!" ”

Yuan Zhen was also taken aback, seeing that these people had become turtles in the urn, who knew that there was a sudden change.

Hastily ordered the cavalry to retreat again, calculating that the distance was about fifty paces, and then stopped, and the two sides once again formed a confrontation.

A strange picture emerges in the valley, with the people on one side lying motionless on the ground. The other man rode on his horse with a crossbow, and he was also motionless, and it was evident that they were quite afraid of the thunderbolt.

Zhang Bao'er was a little impatient, and he asked Wei Xianyun: "Mr. Wei, since you have a thunderbolt in your hand, why don't you rush up and blow them up, and lie here?" ”

Wei Xianyun smiled bitterly: "This thunderbolt is extremely difficult to make, even if there are not many thunderbolts in the thunderbolt hall of the Lei family in Jiangnan, and I only have three left!" ”

"What then?" Zhang Baoer was dumbfounded when she heard this.

"Wait, only wait for the opportunity!"

"Mr. Wei, look at them moving again!" Long Zhuang said in a low voice.

Wei Xianyun looked forward and couldn't help but secretly complain. The sergeants with crossbows were divided into two pulls, one of which was still holding on to each other, while the other was pulling in the direction of Mantou Mountain. Their intentions are obvious, to occupy the commanding heights and then fire crossbows at them.

If they really want to be climbed on Mantou Mountain, the people lying here will only have a dead end, Wei Xianyun wanted to send someone to stop them, but he was aimed at the crossbow in front of him and couldn't move for half a minute, so he could only do it in a hurry.

At this moment, more than two dozen sturdy men suddenly appeared in the rear of the cavalry, and launched a surprise attack on horseback towards the cavalry.

The cavalry's attention was all on the front, and they didn't expect to be attacked from behind, and they suddenly became a mess.

Seeing this, Yuan Zhen was about to give orders, but suddenly he didn't move, and he found that his throat was being held against a sword.

"Order them to disarm!" The one who spoke was as cold as the sword in his hand.

"Impossible!" Yuan Zhen's words were equally cold.

"Really?" The man's long sword stabbed into Yuan Zhen's throat without hesitation.

The man cut off Yuan Zhen's head, held it in his hand and shouted: "I am Gu Yuntian, the chief arrester of the Criminal Department, Yuan Zhen's rebellion has been ambushed, if there is any more resistance, it will be punished as a rebellion!" ”

The first man laid down his weapon, followed by the second, and then the third......

……

"Brother Gu, why are you here, did you fall from the sky?" Zhang Bao'er took Gu Yuntian's hand and asked in surprise.

"Mr. Gu's head hunt didn't fall from the sky!" Wei Xianyun said with a smile: "From Chang'an to here, he has been secretly protecting the county lord!" ”

"You can't hide anything from Mr. Wei's eyes!" Gu Yuntian hugged Wei Xianyun with a fist, and then said to Zhang Bao'er: "The day before the Yuzhen County Lord set off, King Xiang invited me to come over the mansion and asked me to protect the county lord's safety along the way. So, I brought a group of men with me, and I've been following you secretly. ”

"Mr. Gu, do you mean that before I set off, my father knew that I was going to Luzhou?" Li Zhiying asked in surprise.

Gu Yuntian nodded.

This is strange, Li Zhiying is a little puzzled, with her understanding of her father, if her father knew, he would never allow her to secretly run to Luzhou.

"I said junior brother, why didn't you show up earlier, it makes me scared!" Long Zhuang couldn't help but complain.

"I don't have a lot of people, I can't fight hard, I can only wait for the best opportunity to succeed in one blow." Gu Yuntian said apologetically: "Senior brother, I'm sorry!" ”

"Okay, this matter is over, so I won't mention it!" Wei Xianyun looked at Gu Yuntian: "Have you asked those soldiers?" What's going on? ”

Gu Yuntian nodded: "I asked, it was Yuan Zhen who privately dispatched troops to ambush you, and the soldiers didn't know about it!" ”

"So only Yuan Zhen is their person!" Wei Xianyun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If these people really control the army, then the consequences will be serious. ”

Gu Yuntian agreed: "It was precisely because these soldiers didn't know that I put them back in Luzhou Zhechong Mansion. ”

"Mr. Wei, Mr. Gu, let's hurry up!" Li Zhiying urged.

"County Lord!" Wei Xianyun pondered: "I have a reluctant request!" ”

"Say it!" (To be continued.) )
