Chapter 153: Escape
Wang Huaqiang stopped his horse suddenly, picked up An Suiyu and hid in the pile of rocks on the side of the road, the Turks in the valley were in a panic, most of them stood in place at a loss, and more people desperately turned around, wanting to rush out of the valley.
Harim's voice drifted by the wind from the top of the cliff: "Shoot all those who want to escape from the valley to death!"
The sound of the bowstrings vibrating was endless, and the screams in the valley were heard one after another, and the Turkic riders who tried to ride their horses were pierced like hedgehogs by the rain of arrows from the top of the mountain, and even the horses were shot into stacks of arrows.
Wang Huaqiang lay motionless in the pile of rocks, listening to the sound of the feather arrows "swishing" in his ears and the screams and neighing of people and horses when they were hit by arrows, and began to quickly calculate in his heart, sorting out the things that had happened from just now to now:
Changsun Sheng has obviously colluded with An Xinggui for a long time, and the person who came forward to contact Datou Khan should be him, An Xinggui has been dragging behind these days, presumably to leave a mark on Datou's army along the way, so that they can follow from a distance, after all, the Western Turkic cavalry has been marching and fighting in this kind of desert for a long time, and knows how to keep up with the target in this endless desert without being discovered, so he keeps a distance from himself for more than twenty miles every day.
This trading point was also chosen by An Xinggui, the people who attacked from the sand just now did not look like the Turks, but like the bandits and horse thieves in the desert, it should be the bandit A gust of wind, these people were ambushed here early, and they may have dug a sand cave underground, and they have been hidden here for several days, and they are even sure that they have been ambushed when An Suiyu arrived at the top of the mountain three days ago.
It must be the same situation on the mountain, but there is an ambush by the guards of the Western Turkic Datou Khan, who are more skilled in archery, and there must be an extremely secret place where these people can stay for three days without being discovered.
Wang Huaqiang now didn't have time to guess the motive of An Xinggui's betrayal, nor did he have time to think about whether this matter was done by him alone or whether the four major families of Guzang were involved, he was now thinking about Changsun Sheng's abnormal behavior just now.
Sun Sheng, the chief of this matter, obviously knew about it, and even might be the mastermind, but he saved his life at a critical moment, and he had to flee to the Turks by himself, it seems that what he wants is not his own life, but to catch a deal and attack Liu Jushi in advance, but he doesn't want to really kill himself, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to Gao Xi in the future.
Thinking of this, Wang Huaqiang gritted his teeth, An Suiyu in his arms moved, and his eyes suddenly fell on An Suiyu's face that had become pale due to excessive blood loss, only to see her big eyes slowly open, and she squeezed out a sentence from her mouth with difficulty: "Brother Wei Chi, leave me alone, go quickly." ”
Wang Huaqiang smiled bitterly: "Go? Where can we go now? The high place is occupied by the archers of the Datou Khan, Ayu, I'm afraid we won't be able to rush out. ”
An Suiyu listened to the sound of feather arrows and screams in her ears, and she didn't need to look up to know what was going on, she sighed: "Brother Wei Chi, I, I'm afraid it won't be done, don't be reluctant, surrender to them, save your life, there is always a chance" She didn't have time to finish the last word, and she was dizzy again, her head tilted, and she passed out.
Wang Huaqiang looked at the girl in her arms, usually she is full of scheming, and always likes to compete with herself, but at this time she seems so helpless and lovable, just now she wanted to run for her life, and even made Wang Huaqiang a little moved. At this moment, he decided one thing: no matter what his final result was this time, he couldn't leave An Suiyu behind.
I don't know when, Duan Da touched Wang Huaqiang's side and said hurriedly: "Huaqiang, what should I do now!"
Wang Huaqiang glanced at Duan Da, and saw that he was already in a cloak with a half-cut arrow shaft inserted in his left shoulder, thinking that he had just been hit by an arrow, and he directly cut off the arrow body, but the situation was urgent, and he didn't have time to deal with the arrow that entered the flesh.
Wang Huaqiang frowned: "Is your injury in the way?" ”
Duan Da said hatefully: "Damn, I'm not afraid of face-to-face fighting, I've already cut seven or eight just now, it's a dog's arrow from a height, and I can't defend it." Hua Qiang, I searched several times, but I didn't find General Changsun, did you see him? ”
Wang Huaqiang wanted to speak, but suddenly thought that with Duan Da's irritable temper, if he knew the truth of the matter, he would have to kill Changsun Sheng, and he must not leak this matter to him, so he swallowed the words that came to his mouth and changed his words: "No, it was too chaotic just now, I could only save An Suiyu and delay the time, otherwise I should have rushed out of the canyon by this time." ”
Duan Da glanced at the Turkic archers who were still shooting at the targets in the cliff at the top of the cliff, and said hatefully: "It's a pity that I didn't bring a big bow this time, otherwise let the brothers shoot at each other, and I can cover you to rush out." ”
Wang Huaqiang shook his head: "There is too much difference in height, and the people above are all Turkic condor archers with excellent archery skills, and they may not be able to take advantage of flat shooting, and at this time the outcrop is death." Brother Duan, did you give the order for the brothers to climb the mountain? ”
Duan Da's eyes lit up, and he nodded hurriedly: "It's ordered, Lao Zheng and Lao Wu, the two guys you saw in Nanchen Palace, with more than a hundred brothers, are climbing the mountain at this moment, as long as they can touch it, we will be saved." ”
As he was talking, there was a sound of blades intersecting on the top of the cliff, and a scream came from the top of the cliff, followed by several corpses of Turkic people falling directly from the top of the cliff and smashing heavily on the ground that was only more than ten steps beside Wang Huaqiang, and the flesh and blood were blurred.
Duan Da was overjoyed and shouted: "It must be Lao Zheng and Lao Wu who rushed up!" Shall we rush to their aid?"
Wang Huaqiang roared: "There are too few of them, they won't support it for long, it's useless to go up, we have to rush out quickly!" As he spoke, Wang Huaqiang jumped up, pulled an ownerless horse from the pile of stones behind him, directly put An Suiyu on the saddle frame, and then flew on the horse and roared: "Everyone hurry up and rush out!"
As the fight on the top of the cliff began, there were many fewer arrows shot at the bottom of the cliff all of a sudden, far less effective than the dense salvo of bows and arrows just now, but even so, cold arrows flew through the air from time to time.
Wang Huaqiang was lying tightly on the saddle, An Suiyu's towering and soft chest was against his chest, if it was usual, it would definitely make his blood run high.
But at this time, Wang Huaqiang felt like when he was smuggled into Nanchen that night, when he was attacked by Wang Shiji's fleet with a Wanjun crossbow, he almost relied on instinct to keep riding his horse and fled, and he didn't even care to look around, and the screams behind him came and went, presumably many Turkic archers who shot arrows at him did not shoot him because of the amount of advance, but let the people who followed him suffer.
I don't know how long he ran, Wang Huaqiang felt the sound of bowstrings and arrows breaking through the air in his ears gradually disappearing, and his eyes also changed from a lifeless earthy yellow to a green patch, and he suddenly found himself outside the canyon, on that grassland.
A feeling of escaping came spontaneously, Wang Huaqiang suddenly felt that he had become prostrate all of a sudden, his eyes were dark, and he almost fell off the horse, and it was not easy to stabilize.
Wang Huaqiang calmed down, and suddenly felt something sharp on his stomach, An Suiyu's voice was as small as a mosquito humming, but it revealed an unspeakable killing intent: "Yu Chiqin, what do you want to do?" ”
Wang Huaqiang reacted suddenly, his left hand did not grasp the reins of the horse during the horseback riding just now, but pressed An Suiyu's towering chest, and held on tightly, he didn't feel it in the panic of life and death just now, but suddenly returned to the world, only to see An Suiyu's face flushed, two lines of tears flowing down the corners of his eyes, silver teeth clenched, and he took out a knife in his hand at some point, which was against his abdomen at this moment.
Wang Huaqiang moved his hand away from An Suiyu's chest like an electric shock, and waved his hand again and again: "Ayu, I, I didn't mean to, I rushed out of the canyon just now, I was really flustered, yes, I'm sorry." ”
