~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the early hours of the morning, the bonfire was extinguished, the embers were curling, and the two sides of the strait were silent. The gray mountains and woods in the distance are like silhouettes, thin and lifeless.
A sudden, shrill sound broke the silence.
Li Ren jumped up from his sleep in shock, looked up in shock, and saw a long flame that he had never seen before, like a meteor. It's just that the meteor falls from the sky, and this fire rises from the sky. From a distance, it's at least two miles away. What is it that can be seen and heard from such a distance?
"This ...... What is it? "Li Ren opened his mouth wide, and he couldn't close it for a long time.
Cao Xiong, Lin Tianci, Chu Liu, and Lu Nu were as dazed as him, and there was only one person who could answer him.
"This is a signal, the Huns are coming." Zhang Fang walked to everyone's side, already dressed neatly, with a sword hanging from his waist and a crossbow in his hand, as if he hadn't slept last night.
"Letter...... Number? Lin Tianci seemed to understand something, and looked at Zhang Fang's back a little more frightened, how many treasures does this son of the Fuping Hou family have?
Well, Lin Tianci guessed correctly, this signal is from Zhang Fang's hand, a simplified version of the "Drill Sky Monkey".
Zhang Fang can create high-power artillery battles, and of course he can also make fireworks, which can frighten people, and the only use of fireworks can only be used as signals. However, due to the limitations of materials and technology, Zhang Fang failed to make the kind of real fireworks that exploded in the air and were dazzling and brilliant. It just made a screeching sound, flew into the air, and then, there was no moreβlike a dumb monkey.
This thing is used as fireworks, which is absolutely not qualified, but it is enough to be used as a signal.
Zhang Fang handed over three signal fireworks to the guards on duty on the other side of the river, which were used as warnings, and now the fireworks are in the air, indicating that the Huns are coming.
Soon, several horsemen appeared on the other side of the river, but not the Huns, but the evacuated sentinels.
"The Huns are coming, more than ten miles to the northeast, they have also discovered us, and they are rushing forward." The guards rushed to the other side of the river, loudly reporting the enemy's situation, and riding their horses across the river.
However, an accident happened - the river rose.
This is an inconspicuous river, no more than three zhang wide, no more than the belly of a horse, the water flow is gentle, yesterday Zhang Fang and others were riding on horseback and wading directly. But when I woke up, the surface of the river suddenly became four or five zhang wide, the current was very fast, and there were whirlpools in the middle of the river. When the guards drove the horses to cross, the water surface did not pass the belly of the horses before they could swim out, and the current pushed the men and horses difficult to control.
There is only one possibility, and last night there was a heavy rain somewhere upstream of the river.
"Okay, God help me!" Deng Zhan was overjoyed, the river was overflowing, and there was undoubtedly an additional barrier to the pursuing Huns. However, it is imperative to receive several guards on the other side of the river.
At that moment, the guards of the camp were called into the forest to cut some thick and long branches, tie them up, and then several people relayed and stretched the branches to the center of the river. The guards on the other side also shook their arms and shook their arms, and in groups of three, they fought hard to move forward. Rao is like this, and he has been swept away by the rapids several times. After several twists and turns, the soaking wet guards were brought ashore, but their dry food and sleeping blankets and other items that they had placed behind the horse felt were washed away.
As soon as the last wading guard landed on the shore with both hands, a faint shadow of a rider appeared on the ridge line of the mountain in the distance.
The Huns, at last, are here.
β¦β¦
The sky was gray, the shadow of the sun shone through the thin clouds on the desolate fields, the long wind blew, the green and yellow grass lurked southward, and the air was cool. The two cavalry teams confronted each other across the river, which spread the coolness even more.
The Huns came quickly, and Deng Zhan organized the government guards to intercept the river, and at the same time packed up the grain, grass, felt tents and other utensils as soon as possible. It is impossible for them to throw these things away and turn around and run, in the vast wasteland, without basic daily necessities, it is difficult to move an inch.
The Huns have an absolute advantage in numbers, with more than 50 horses, more than twice as much as Zhang Fang's party, if it weren't for a river in the middle, the Huns would have pounced like a wolf.
In the middle of the Hun cavalry, the Hun villain with a long and short knife in his waist and a vicious appearance, who is not Bu Gusu?
Bu Gusu rode his horse to the river, glared at the bull's eye, swept the crowd on the other side viciously, and suddenly whipped his finger: "You, shoot my five warriors, I will divide your five horses, and sacrifice one person for each stump." And you, slash and kill two of my warriors, and I will cut you into two pieces, one for one sacrifice. β
The whip of the bone beard refers to the sixth day of the first month and Cao Xiong.
The guards all looked sideways, when Cao Xiong and Chu Liu fled back to the camp, they were all injured, and no one expected that they would kill seven people on the other side under the siege. With such a result, Deng Zhan couldn't even ask himself.
Chu Liu was silent, and when he heard the words, he only glared back fiercely, and didn't say a word.
Cao Xiong laughed, because the laughter touched the wound, he gasped for cold air, but said in his mouth: "Only cut into two pieces?" It's too little, at least eight pieces have to be unloaded to be decent. β
This sounds like a deflated self-deprecation, but in connection with Bu Guxu's arrogant words in front of him, it is tantamount to declaring, "I will kill six more people, enough for eight people." β
Bu Gu must be able to be a pawn, naturally not stupid, this detour can still be heard. He didn't speak very well in Chinese, and he didn't talk back, but only doubled his weight twice at the two of them with a horsewhip, which means that I remember you.
At this time, Zhang Fang, who had already cleaned up, clapped his palms, squeezed out of the crowd, and faced Bu Guxu: "Bu Guxu, let me ask you, how many people did you kill in Qingxi Ju with your own hands?" β
Bu Guxu squinted, looked at it in amazement, and squeezed out the words from between his teeth: "You, it's Zhang Fang!" β
This is the first time that Bu Guxu has really met Zhang Fang, in Sanshui, Zhang Fang has always turned his back to Bu Guxu, in the dim food shop, if you don't pay attention, most of you don't pay attention. Zhang Fang recognized Bu Guxu, but Bu Guxu did not recognize Zhang Fang.
Bu Gusu had never seen the handsome young man in front of him before, but when he saw Zhang Fang for the first time, he was 100% sure that this must be the target of the Chang'an people's sky-high price attack, and it was also the culprit who caused his clan to move west.
Zhang Fang pointed at Bu Guxu with the end of the scabbard: "Answer the question." β
Bu Guxu pulled out the sheath short knife, flashed it to Zhang, and said with a cruel smile: "Every time I kill someone, I will make a cut on the scabbard." Wonder? Come and count. β
Zhang Fang's eyes flashed coldly, and he was dead: "No need, someone counts it for me." β
"Who?"
"Hebo."
As soon as the words fell, Bu Guxu only felt that his brain was buzzing, his consciousness was lost, and he was blank, and only an irresistible voice was echoing: "Chong Chong ......"
As a result, the enemies and friends across the river saw such a strange scene: without warning, Bu Guxu suddenly pulled out his long and short double knives, slammed the horse's belly, and rushed towards Zhang Fang like crazy - the problem was that between the two, there was a raging river.
The front hooves of the war horse had just probed into the water, and they retreated because they were afraid of the rapids. Bu Gusu tried his best to urge the horse, but the front hooves of the war horse stepped into the soft mud sank, and the hind buttocks lifted, and the Bu Guxu was thrown into the river.
Poof! The water splashed everywhere, cutting off the eye contact between Zhang Fang and Bu Guxu.
Zhang Fang laughed, turned over his horse, and walked away.
The Huns were suddenly confused, and when Bu Gusu was rescued ashore, Zhang Fang and his party had already left.
The water dog-like bones were tossed for a long time, almost even vomiting out the yellow bile water, but his face was still full of oil, but at this moment, his face was like earth, the tips of his hair were dripping, his lips were purple, and he was determined to look at the looming figure in front of him, and suddenly shouted: "He...... He's a wizard! β
