Chapter 15 The mountain road is rugged

After resting for more than an hour, Lin Yihu called everyone up, packed up the carriage and horses and continued on the road. After this rest, everyone'www.biquge.info s physical strength has obviously recovered, and they can walk much faster, but after leaving the official road, the mountain road is obviously rugged, and it is more and more difficult to walk, this mountain trail can only barely pass a carriage, and once ***** car is trapped, everyone has to help push it over, and then continue to move forward.

Gradually, there was a hint of brightness in the sky, the humidity of the mountain fog became heavier and heavier, and the villagers also extinguished their torches, Lin Yihu and Li Ke no longer rode horses, but only led the horses to the end of the line, and occasionally stepped forward to help push the cart.

was walking, suddenly Lin Yihu stopped, leaned over on the ground and listened, Li Ke was stunned, I don't know why, I saw Lin Yihu's face changed greatly when he listened, and he jumped up and shouted in a low voice: "Someone is chasing!" After speaking, he dragged a posterior beside him and said urgently: "Dog baby, you go to the front to call back the pathfinders!" Then go straight back to Shengjiazhai and let the black girl bring someone to rescue! Remember! Go back and don't delay! Then he gave him the reins, and the dog took it, jumped on the horse, and hurried away.

Lin Yihu looked up at the terrain on the left and right, and said to an old and capable villager: "Third brother, not far ahead is the pass, you take six people to cut down trees, wait for the convoy to pass, and then pile up a barricade, remember to leave an opening, and then block it after we pass!" "The third brother also took people to go by himself.

When the coachmen heard that someone was coming, they all stopped, not knowing what to do. Sheng Ping and Xiangling also rushed from the front, and asked with a panicked face, "Uncle Lin, how many of them are there?" Lin Yihu replied anxiously: "It's not clear!" Ah! How did you get here! Walk fast, don't stop! There shouldn't be any danger ahead, you take the convoy and go quickly, and we will find a way to hold them down! Sheng Ping knew that she couldn't help much here, so she said, "Everyone must be careful!" Then he beckoned the coachman to go quickly, and went on.

Seeing that Shengping went, Lin Yihu asked the villagers to unload the last two carriages and lay them in the middle of the road, and then picked out the four youngest from the villagers, handed the horses to them and said: "The road ahead is muddy, if there is a car trapped, you will call the coachmen to help him pull it again, remember!" Don't stop! Seeing this, Li Ke took up his bow and arrows, hung up his Nepalese saber, and handed them the big green mule, and the four of them went away.

Lin Yihu asked a few people to cut some branches and throw them in front of the car, and after seeing that the preparations were completed, Lin Yihu counted the number of weapons, including the four pathfinders who had just returned, a total of twenty-eight people, including six short bows, four simple knives, three spears, and the rest were short knives. Then the formation was arranged, and four strong men with short knives were selected in front, three with spears behind them, and four others with simple knives to live on both sides, and the rest of the people held short knives while guarding against someone climbing up the hill and jumping down, while there were casualties in front of them to make up for it in time, and the rest of the bow-bearers stopped next to the carriage station, first killed and wounded the enemy with bows and arrows, and then retreated to the rear and continued to shoot when the enemy approached.

Finally, Lin Yihu said: "Don't panic, don't be afraid!" We're not trying to fight with them, we're just trying to stall for as much time as possible! As he spoke, he lit a torch, pointed to the lamp oil on the car, and said: "In the end, if it really doesn't work, we will set fire to stop the enemy, as long as everyone sees the fire, they will run back together, and when you escape, remember not to crowd, not to trample, and not to leave a single person!" But before that, if anyone dares to run away without permission, they will be fined for their rations and evicted from their homes! ”

The villagers were panicked, but when they saw Lin Yihu's command, they were at ease. Li Ke watched from the sidelines, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: People who have died once are just different!

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves in the distance behind is gradually getting closer!

The hearts of the people hung in the air again, and suddenly a horse flashed at the end of the road, and the knight saw a man in the middle of the road from afar, and he struck his horse and went back. After a while, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly disappeared, and the whole mountain forest fell silent again.

For some reason, Li Ke's heart suddenly tightened, and he involuntarily grasped the bow handle, and his eyes remained motionless at the end of the mountain road.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly two horsemen flashed out of the road in the distance, and then a large group of cavalry rushed out and crowded on the mountain road.

Rick gripped the handle of his bow and stared at the riders, who were brightly armed and well-armed, but they were wearing clothes - but they had ...... everything! Some wore the standard mandarin duck robes of officers and soldiers, some wore Confucian uniforms, and some even wore women's flower jackets ......!

After the cavalry passed, then there were foot soldiers, and even more Wuyang and Wuyang rushed over. When the horsemen came to a halt at the sight of a stone's throw away, they saw a man like a leader give two orders, and one of them flew out and came straight to the people, and when they were fifty or sixty paces from the carriage they stopped, and the rider pointed at them with his whip in his hand, and shouted, "Ah! Listen to the people on the other side! Our Qu Kui, the 'King of Pure Heaven' Ren Qige said, as long as you leave the food, you will be let go, and you will never be killed! If not, the village will be slaughtered, and no one will be left! ”

Lin Yihu jumped into the carriage and replied with his fists clenched: "This brother, please also ask Ren Qukui to come out and speak!" ”

The rider turned around and said something, and then three or four horsemen galloped out together, and when they reached sixty paces, they stopped again, and when one of them came out of the horse, I saw that the man, wearing a long cotton armor, wearing an eight-petal iron helmet, with a slightly dark face, and cunning eyes, was none other than Ren Qi, the 'King of Pure Heaven'. I saw him clenching his fists and said loudly: "In the next seven, I don't know what this hero has to say!" ”

Lin Yihu clenched his fists and said: "I have long heard that Li Qingshan and Li Qukui have a good man named Ren Qi, and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary!" Originally, Ren Qukui opened his mouth, we should have offered the food, but these grains are life-saving food for the refugees in the mountains, if they are given to Ren Qukui, those refugees will inevitably freeze and starve to death, so please Qu Kui raise his noble hand and spare their lives! ”

That Ren Qi laughed and said, "It's okay! I'm sure I'm going to have to ask for food! People? You can follow me, I promise not to starve them! ”

Lin Yihu said: "Most of these refugees are old, weak, sick and disabled, just trying to survive in this troubled world!" Ren Qukui is a person who does great things, what is the use of asking them? It's better to let them live, and the refugees will be grateful to Dade! ”

Ren Qi laughed, and said with a hideous face: "In this way, this is not given!" Ok, good, good! And wait for me to get it myself, and then there will be no ...... left for the young and old! As he spoke, he just listened to "Whoosh!" With a sound, an arrow shot at the iron helmet on the seven heads of the center, "Bell!" With a sound, the iron helmet fell to the ground, and Ren Qi screamed in fright, lying on the back of the horse, beating the horse and running back to the team!

Seeing this, Lin Yihu praised: "Good archery!" "When I look back, it's Rick!

Seeing Ren Qi fleeing, Li Ke shouted loudly: "This arrow is just a warning!" If you don't retreat, the next arrow will kill you! ”
