【Chapter 172】Tuoba Su's True Purpose!

However, what Tuoba Su did not expect was that after the violent explosion, a large number of officers and soldiers did not appear in front of him. His idea of finding an officer and army commander never came to fruition. His gaze quickly swept up and down the canyon in front of him, left and right, and he didn't find anything unusual. He had no choice but to hang down his big bow and look for another way out.

The horse thief who rushed to the front hurriedly drove the war horse and rushed forward desperately. As they rushed forward, they fired arrows into the canyon in front of them, regardless of whether there were any living people in front of them. Tuoba Su's reaction was also quite fast. He grabbed the horse's belly and rushed forward with the thief. The war horse under his crotch is obviously not ordinary, and the speed of the sprint is very fast.

However, the narrow canyon limited his sprint, and other horse thieves inevitably hindered his progress. In a panic, even if other horse thieves wanted to get out of the passage and let Tuoba Su pass first, it was impossible. In the collision with each other, the horse thief was knocked down, followed by the trampling of his companions behind, and was directly trampled into a pulp. The canyon, which was originally dry, was suddenly covered with flowing blood.

Those horse thieves who are forced to lean against the stone wall are actually very unlucky. In the high-speed gallop, he was suddenly forced to stop against the stone wall, not to mention the loss of the war horse, even the people themselves were also covered in bruises. On both sides of the canyon, strange rocks are craggy, and there is not an inch of flat place at all. When a person rubs a stone, one can imagine what the consequences will be. After a while, the stones on both sides of the entire canyon were stained with different shades of red.

However, in order to escape for their lives, in order to kill them, all horse thieves do not care about their own injuries. They just want to rush forward as hard as they can, and they just want to get out of the ambush circle immediately. They are well aware that the setting of the ambush circle cannot be very long. The topography of Suweikou limits the number of ambushers. As long as they rushed out before the ambushers reacted, their lives could barely be saved. Otherwise, it will be more than lucky.

"Boom!"

At this moment, there was another loud sound of the sky falling apart.

This is the explosive package that Yun Qifeng detonated, and it also exploded just right. Why a burst and not a bang? The main thing is that Yun Qifeng has two explosive packs on both sides of the canyon. The time of the explosion of the two explosive packs, slightly staggered. The purpose of this is, of course, to completely block the canyon passage.

You must know that Tuoba Su is famous, and he is definitely not an easy guy to deal with. The origin of his identity is even more mysterious, and no one knows what hidden strength is behind him. If he is allowed to escape, Fort Weizhen will be in great trouble in the future. As far as dangerous surnames are concerned, Tuoba Su is much better than Li Maohui, Li Guozhen and the like.

"Whoa!"

A large amount of debris poured down, blocking the canyon completely.

The horse thieves who rushed to the front were hit by the rubble and all fell to the ground, dead or alive. Another war horse, which was killed by rubble, fell directly on the road, completely blocking the road. The horse thieves behind crashed into the top of the war horses one after another, and all of them fell, and the scene could be described as chaos, and a large amount of blood gushed out like a spring and flowed down the canyon.

The huge smoke from the explosion, as well as the flying dust, shrouded the canyon and made it difficult for the horse thieves to see the situation around them. They didn't know who ambushed them, or how many. Even a figure like Tuoba Su is a little confused now. Who ambushed him?

"Bastard!"

"Find a way to escape!"

"If you continue to stay here, there is only one dead end!"

Tuoba Su tapped his longbow at his men and shouted loudly.

He was ambushed nearby at Suweikou, and of course he was very aware of the danger. This is definitely a fatal place, even if you stay for an extra second, you may directly give away your own life. It has to be said that the ambushers are indeed ferocious and unprecedented. However, it is still not easy for the ambushers to take his surname here.

"Huh!"

With the longbow behind his back, Tuoba Su threw a flying cymbal.

The cymbal hooked on the stone next to the canyon, and Tuoba Su jumped up directly from the horse, and with the power of the cymbal, climbed to the top of the canyon. The bottom of the canyon is the most dangerous, and as long as you climb to the top of the canyon, the danger surname is gone. Even if you are still in the enemy's ambush circle, you are condescending and can effectively fight back against the opponent.

Seeing Tuoba Su's appearance, the other horse thieves also did the same, and took out the flying cymbal from their arms, threw it on the stone next to it, and then climbed up along the stone. They often haunt the main peak of Helan Mountain, and these climbing tools are naturally necessary. This is also an important reason why the officers and soldiers can't help Tuoba Su. Do you think, in a place where there are not even roads, how can a large army of officers and soldiers march? It's suicide!

The terrain of Suweikou, no matter how dangerous it is, cannot be compared with the main peak of Helan Mountain. After a brief period of panic, most of the horse thieves quickly climbed to the top of the canyon with the help of the cymbals. Once they climb to the top of the canyon, there are plenty of opportunities to fight back. After all, the bows and arrows in their hands are not vegetarians.

"Paralyzed!"

"And this ability!"

Xu Xingxia cursed in a low voice.

Unexpectedly, this Tuoba Su is really a bit capable. In this situation, there is still a way to escape. It must be admitted that Tuoba Su's use of flying cymbals was something Xu Xingxia did not expect. This is tantamount to completely cracking the dangerous terrain of the canyon. If they make it to the top of the canyon, the only way for the tiger and leopard riders to take them out is to attack them. Obviously, even with the help of the Yue Yue, it is not an easy thing to attack. They must be killed before they reach the top of the canyon.

Since Lao Tzu has set up an ambush, you don't want to escape easily! Don't you want to climb up? I'll let you down! The range of the bow and arrow is not good, we have muskets! Lao Tzu doesn't want to kill all of you, Lao Tzu just needs to kill Tuoba Su! Fifty or sixty moon guns, can't kill a Tuoba Su? Do you think it's Xiaoqiang who can't be killed?

"All of them, aim for Tuoba Su!"

"Ready! Put! ”

Xu Xingxia shouted fiercely.

Visually inspecting the distance, Tuoba Su was about two hundred meters away from him. Ordinary bows and arrows obviously can't take him away. However, it is possible to say that the moon is fine. The lethality of the Moon Gun is still effective at a distance of two hundred meters. As long as he gets a Minnie bullet, he doesn't believe that anyone else has the ability to climb to the top of the canyon!

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

The tigers and leopards rode and shot one after another.

On the stone wall two hundred meters away, a large number of sparks suddenly flew out. Obviously, after the Minnie bullet flew a distance of 200 meters, the impact force was still quite powerful. From time to time, there are horse thieves who are hit and fall directly from the stone wall. In front of the rifled gun, their bodies are simply scum! As long as they are hit by Minnie's bullet, no matter which part they hit, they will not be able to control their bodies and fall directly from the stone wall.

"Damn it!"

Tuoba Su also immediately realized that something was wrong.

The man who ambushed him turned out to be a musket!

As for the power of the musket, it is certainly impossible for Tuoba Su not to know. The muskets in Ningxia Town only have a good lethal effect within a distance of 15 zhang. However, the enemy who ambushed him was obviously fifty or sixty feet away! Shooting at such a distance, there is such a terrifying killing effect? How can it be? Even the Rumi Gun doesn't have such range and power! What kind of musket did the ambushers use?

For a while, Tuoba Su's brain was a little unable to keep up with the situation. He sensed that there was a big problem inside, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was. For the first time, he felt a chill surging up from under his heart and permeating his whole body. This is a sign of extreme danger. If he had been hit by the ambusher's musket, he would have died. Subconsciously, he desperately accelerated the speed of climbing.

Tuoba Su couldn't understand why the ambusher's musket was so powerful, and it didn't hinder the lethality of the Yue Yue Gong at all. Compared with the horse thief on the stone wall, the horse thief at the bottom of the canyon is the most unlucky. These horse thieves, who were usually quite strong, fell from their horses one after another like papier-mâché toys in front of the roaring Minnie bullets. No matter how good his kung fu is, as long as he is hit by Mini's bullet, it will be the result of treating everyone equally.

A 16.7 mm mini bullet hit the human body with a small hole on the outside and a large hole on the inside. Because the mini bullet is soft, as long as it hits the bone, it will scatter and shatter, splashing all parts of the human body. If it is hit on the lower abdomen, all the internal organs will be directly broken. To say insidious, the Mini bullet is several times more insidious than the dummy bullet. Whoever is hit by a Mini bullet has no chance of clearing the wound.

What's more, lead is a very toxic metal, and after entering the human body, the harm is endless. Even if science and technology were so advanced in later generations, it would be impossible to remove the poisonous surname of lead. The only result can only be a decisive amputation. For the wounded of this era, amputation is basically equivalent to death.

"Bang!"

Xu Xingxia aimed at Tuoba Su and shot decisively.

He fired three shots in a row, but none of them hit. The distance of two hundred meters is still a bit far, and it is quite difficult to aim with the naked eye. The accuracy of the Moon Gun is simply incomparable with the rifles of later generations. However, it doesn't matter, Xu Xingxia is confident that Tuoba Su will definitely not be able to escape his shooting. This bandit will definitely die in the canyon of Suweikou today.

By Xu Xingxia's side, there were at least a dozen warriors of tiger and leopard riding, holding the Yue Yue Gun, and concentrating on aiming at Tuoba Su to shoot. The rest of the horse thieves, they don't care. Their only target was Tuobasu, who was moving slowly on the rocks. As long as you kill Tuoba Su, this mission will be completed.

"Looks like a hit!"

Suddenly, someone screamed uncertainly.

Xu Xingxia raised his head and took a closer look, and sure enough, on the stone wall in front of him, Tuoba Su's body obviously showed his movements after being hit by a mini bullet. I don't know where Minnie hit him, his body, clinging to the top of the rock, never moving upwards again. It could be seen that he wanted to move from side to side as hard as he could. It's a pity that it doesn't seem to be easy to do this. Because, more Minnie bullets, poured down on him.

"Keep shooting!"

Xu Xingxia said coldly.

He wanted to make sure that Tuoba Su was really dead.

"Bang bang bang!"

The tiger and leopard cavalry warriors beside him fired another series of shots at Tuoba Su's position. Xu Xingxia observed carefully on the side and found that Tuoba Su's body was slowly sliding down irregularly. Apparently, he had lost control of his body. It wasn't until everyone had shot three rounds that Xu Xingxia waved his hand and asked the soldiers to shift their shooting targets.

Tuoba Su should be dead. His corpse, due to the impact of the flying cymbals, hung on top of the stone wall. This bandit leader pays more attention to safety than other horse thieves. He must have tied the rope around his waist so that he would not fall off if he was killed. Sure enough, it's a tough guy to deal with.

Tuoba Su's death made the other horse thieves suddenly lose the confidence to resist. Tuoba Su's status among horse thieves is like Xu Xingxia's status in the Weizhen Fort military household. His death directly destroyed the idea of the other horse thieves to resist. Many horse thieves are simply at a loss and don't know what they are going to do. The battle that follows, there is hardly any suspense. In the face of the terrifying lethality of the Mini bullet, the horse thief was either killed or surrendered.

Half an hour later, all the horse thieves lost their ability to resist. The gunfire in the canyon stopped completely. Gao Meng and Zhang Feng were cleaning up the battlefield with the soldiers of the tiger and leopard riders. The horse thieves who were not killed were taken into custody. Most of what awaits them is also the result of being dealt with on the spot. The white-clothed army came out this time, but he didn't think about staying alive. With the crimes of those horse thieves, it was enough to be shot many times.

Tuoba Su's body was also lowered from the stone wall. Indeed, he was too dead to die. At least five Mini bullets hit him from behind. A fatal Mini bullet hit him in the back, shattering his heart and everything. However, his head was well preserved and undamaged, and it was just right to take it back for others to examine.

Looking at Tuoba Su's corpse, I don't know why, Xu Xingxia always felt that Tuoba Su definitely didn't come for the women in Qingyang Palace. He must have had other purposes. It's a pity that for the needs of the battle, he has already died so much that he can't die anymore. Otherwise, you can get a lot of useful information from his mouth.

"Gao Meng, you will pull all the living bandits out for interrogation to see why they are here. Those who know can live. I don't know, I killed them all. Xu Xingxia pondered for a moment and said coldly.

"Understood!" Gao Meng agreed.

Soon, a short scream sounded in the interior of the canyon. Obviously, Gao Meng was killing someone. This made Xu Xingxia's brows furrow even tighter. Kill these bandits, and he will not have mercy. He was just worried that no one knew Tuoba Su's secret. Could it be that there is really no one else who knows his true purpose except Tuoba Su? Paralyzed, the secrecy is done so well, it's amazing!

It was another half an hour before Gao Meng appeared in front of Xu Xingxia and said in a low voice: "My lord, I didn't ask for any valuable information, those guys couldn't tell me clearly, I just acted on orders." There are also horse thieves who said that they had also asked Tuoba Su what he was going to do this time, but Tuoba Su never said. Later, however, a seriously injured horse thief mentioned that it was Tuoba Su who had inadvertently mentioned the name of Mount Caron. It's a pity that the horse thief said a name and choked. ”

"Caron Mountain?"

Xu Xingxia's mind seemed to flash something.

The Beacon Pier of Kalong Mountain, just on the left hand side of the three forks of Suweikou, is only half a day's journey from here. When Lin Hainiu mentioned this name, he subconsciously wrote it down.

"That's right, it's Caron Mountain."

Gao Meng said affirmatively.

"Karon Mountain!"

"Oops! There are Tartars coming! ”

"Tuoba Su's purpose is exactly Kalong Mountain!"

Suddenly, Xu Xingxia patted his head fiercely and suddenly screamed.

I have known for a long time that Tuoba Su would not take the initiative to go down the mountain for a woman! He's not enough to be like that! Tuoba Su's real purpose is to sneak attack the Beacon Pier of Kalong Mountain! The real purpose of destroying the beacon pier is, of course, to put a large number of Tartars coming! It is certain that Tuoba Su's dispatch this time was just to cooperate with the actions of others. To be precise, it's just to cooperate with the actions of the Tartars!

Don't look at the Beacon Pier of Karon Mountain is very remote, and ordinary people may not even know about its existence. However, its important surname is absolutely self-evident. The Tartars who broke into Helan Mountain from the west, as long as they took the passage of Suweikou, they would inevitably be discovered by the Beacon Pier of Kalong Mountain. As long as the beacon pier lights up the wolf smoke, Ningxia Town will know. When the Tartars come, there is no point in it. The good things are hidden, and the Tartars can't grab anything at all.

If you want to have a rich harvest, you must destroy the beacon pier of Kalong Mountain, so that it cannot light wolf smoke, so that Ningxia Town is unprepared. Obviously, on the Tartar side, this cannot be done. As soon as they got closer, the wolf smoke lit up. Even if they destroy the Beacon Pier of Karon Mountain, the role of the Beacon Pier alarm has been completed. The Tartars still don't get much good.

Only an attack from behind can make the beacon pier useless and allow the Tartars to benefit. However, this attack must not be carried out too early, otherwise, other officers and soldiers will also find out. It seems that in three to five days, there will be patrols of the officers and soldiers to inspect the various beacon piers. If something happened to the beacon pier, the officers and soldiers would definitely know.

From this, the best opportunity to get your hands on it is, of course, a day or two before the arrival of the Tartars. After destroying the beacon pier, the Tartar army arrived immediately, and Ningxia Town didn't have time to react at all, and the Tartars would definitely make a lot of money. In other words, since Tuoba Su appeared here, then the large army of Tartars coming from the west should not be far from the beacon pier of Kalong Mountain, and it will be a two-day journey at most.
