Chapter 204: Wrong from the start

The envoy of the Yelang King, who was dressed in strange clothes, said in a half-baked Chu language: "The king of my family said that you Han ministers must meet the king of my family before you are allowed to pass guò. s,↗.23∷x.netbsp; This is the third time that Yelang has tried to stop the Han army from passing guò, Yelang is also known as Yelang State, a military alliance based on Yelang, Yelang King, also known as the Dian King, known as the leader of the alliance of more than 100,000 armored troops, joining most of the member states including Southwest Yi, and the military strength is still above Nanyue.

Weiwei Zhuang Qingzhai was angry and threatened: "Does the Yelang monarch want to be an enemy of the Han family?" I led an army of 100,000 to capture your king in an instant, have you forgotten the suffering of the king of Chu back then? ”

"One hundred thousand troops!" The envoy of the king of Yelang was shocked, the population of Yelang country was 500,000, the soldiers were 100,000, and there were 150,000 allied troops counting the allies.

The envoy looked at the elite of the Han army under black pressure, and his heart was still cowardly.

"You Han people don't pay attention to the rules, I'll sue our king, you wait for me!"

The Emissary of the King of Yoro ran away.

Later, Yelang Kingdom was reluctant to even send a messenger out, for fear that the angry Han general would attack Yelang Kingdom, so he sent an old man who was a "division" with a high status in Yelang for a long time, and expressed to the Han army that he was allowed to use the road to pass through the Yelang Kingdom.

Zhuang Qingzhai is to scare Yelangguo.

There were no 100,000 troops under his command at all, and even 20,000 people were barely collected from the national soldiers of Bashu County, and the southern army sent by the Beijing division was still staggering forward on the mountain roads of Shu, with a total of 30,000 reinforcements. This was the greatest support that the imperial court could give before a large-scale war broke out.

"What did Wu Lingman say? Fled southwest? ”

"It's probably in a small country south of Yelang Country, and that place is out of Wuling Man's territory, so the Wuling Barbarian King didn't continue to go deeper."

Zhuang Qingzhai said: "As far as you can march, Your Majesty's will is to rescue the Marquis of Pingyang and solve South Vietnam by the way." ”

In the jungle hundreds of miles away, Cao Shi trudged hard with Liu Ling on his back.

Liu Ling was sick, a continuous rainstorm, lack of clothes, the branches in the jungle were damp and could not cook cooked food, and the rest was not good. Mosquito bites are a combination of several aspects. She had a low-grade fever.

Fortunately, Ding Gong also slowed down, and the harassment of Wulingman hit them hard, and dozens of assassins died, and Cao Shi didn't know how far the pursuers were. Maybe it's only a few dozen miles, maybe it's hundreds of miles. He hoped to find a barbarian to treat Liu Ling.

Walked more than a dozen miles. Dozens of colorful barbarians emerged from the jungle, and they circled around the three of them vigilantly.

Wang Meng's mighty posture with a long sword shocked the barbarians, and Cao Shi told him to lay down his weapons. Picking up the weapon in his hand, he gestured laboriously: "Save her, I'll give you this knife." ”

The barbarian muttered and exchanged for a while, and sent the youngest barbarian to take his knife, and the little barbarian held the weapon and closed his mouth happily, and was scolded by the big barbarian for a few words and ran into the jungle with the knife on his back.

It didn't take much effort to walk out of an old woman with a snake and a wooden cane.

Her white hair was full of brown skin, and her head was full of strange feathers, so that the two barbarians took the sick Liu Ling and danced around her.

The chanting time was not long, and the long wait made Cao Shi almost fall asleep, and finally saw two brown-skinned barbarian women bring a bowl of black and slimy herb juice, and helped Liu Ling drink it slowly.

Then the old woman stopped chanting and ordered several barbarian women to support Liu Ling and walk into the tribe of satisfaction.

"Han people, hello."

The old woman said in a strange Chu language: "The ancestors of our tribe are the people of the King of Chu, and you Han people are the descendants of the King of Chu. ”

When the little barbarian saw the old woman return the knife, he was a little happy, and he pursed his lips and glared at them fiercely.

Cao Shi shook his head: "I didn't expect to see the descendants of the Chu people in the mountains, thank you for your full help, I said save her, this knife belongs to you, I won't ask for it again, besides, what I'm best at is bows and arrows, and steel knives are just decorations." ”

The old woman nodded and didn't shirk, their barbarians belonged to the branch tribes of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period, when the King of Chu was the supreme ruler of all the barbarians under the 100,000 mountains, legend has it that the ancestor of this barbarian tribe once married the daughter of a descendant of the down-and-out clan of Chu, and the specific truth is no longer verifiable.

But it can be determined that there is a woman from the Chu State who married into the barbarian tribe, imparted a lot of knowledge and the witch culture of the Chu State, and the civilization that is more advanced than the primitive tribe conquered this tribe in an instant, and they are often proud of it, and the daughter of each generation of the tribal leader must choose an excellent person as a sorcerer, dancing the Da Da witchcraft of the Chu State.

The little barbarian suddenly pricked up his ears and shouted, and the old woman frowned: "There is a vicious enemy approaching, have you met the enemy?" ”

Cao Shi smiled bitterly: "Yes, they are very powerful enemies, and they are both enemies of the people of Chu. ”

A whistle came from afar through the dense forest.

In the woods, more than thirty assassins appeared, they looked wolf-like, their heads tangled in clumps, their wet robes had not yet dried, and they looked like they had just experienced a sudden rainstorm.

Ding Gong staggered over with his sword, and when he saw Cao Shi and the barbarian witch standing, shouting a few barbarian words, the faces of the barbarians holding bamboo guns changed greatly, and they retreated into the jungle silently.

"The old man in white warned us not to meddle in the death match, otherwise the gods will punish us, I can't help you, you have to be careful yourself."

The old woman walked back with a wooden cane.

The small open area was twenty or thirty paces away, Cao Shi had a bow in his hand, plus more than twenty bows and arrows that had been picked up and made by himself, and Wang Meng had a long sword in his hand, and there was no other support.

"Prince, go to the dense forest over there, the dense woods over there distract their attention, don't go to the barbarian tribe lest they become seriously ill."

"Be careful yourself."

Cao Shi turned around and rushed into the dense forest, the dense forest could not perform archery, and it was also not conducive to the use of swordsmanship.

He looked back and listened as he ran. The fierce battle outside the woods didn't seem to last long, and the noisy shouting and scolding were chasing Wang Meng.

Running wildly, tossing and turning in the dense forest, several months of jungle life made him as vigorous as an ape, and the small dense forest quickly came out, and when his eyes lit up and rushed out of the dense forest, he was dumbfounded.

Swamp!

In front of him was a huge swamp.

At a glance, there is a large swamp at least a few hundred meters wide, on the left side is a poisonous water with a dizzy aura, in the middle of the swamp is a third of the area of turquoise lake, and the other two-thirds are a murderous quagmire that cannot be climbed up if you sink in.

Rotting animal bones can be seen on the murderous quagmire. On the surface of the mire floated a terrifying white expanse of poisonous gases. Even if it is still far away from the white gas, you can still smell the disgusting smell, it is one of the sources of poisonous miasma, and the ** smell of dead animals and dead branches and leaves envelops the entire forest. Passing animals inhaling white gas will die instantly.

Similar poisonous springs. Poisoned water. There are many poisonous swamps in the Southwest Yi region, and even if the local natives are not careful, they will die without a whole body.

"Quick! Catch up with them, they can't run! ”

The sound of excitement in the jungle is getting closer. It was the remnants of the Assassins roaring.

Wang Meng was the first to rush out of the woods, he had several sword wounds on his body, he limped out of the severe pain, and his palm pressed against the big tree to leave a bright red bloody handprint,

"Uncle Wang, you are seriously injured, what is wrong?"

Wang Meng raised his head panting, and said in dismay, "Junhou, why don't you leave?" Let's go! ”

Cao Shi smiled bitterly: "We can't leave, this is a dead place, and a river over there is blocking the way." ”

"Prince."

Wang Meng covered the bright red wound on his stomach, his face pale: "I killed seven of them, Ding Gong finally made a move, I am not his opponent, this is the wound he left me." ”

It didn't matter if there were a few wounds on the shoulders and arms, a hideous wound on the abdomen kept oozing bright red blood, and the sword stabbed very hard, leaving a scar on half of the lower abdomen, and the blood flowed down like a light rain.

With the backward medical technology of this era, there is no way to do such a heavy blow, even if Bian Que comes, Canggong can only shake his head when he is resurrected.

"Hahaha......"

Ding Gong dragged the long sword and walked over: "Wang Meng, Wang Meng!" Your martial arts are passed down by the old man, and you dare to get an axe in front of the old man, it's beyond your strength! Hit me with a sword, see how you escape! ”

"Be careful!"

Wang Meng lifted the sword to protect Cao Shi's body, even if he was deeply injured and covered in blood, he still couldn't forget his responsibility.

Cao Shi raised his head and gently pushed his arm away: "Let me come!" I'll get rid of them. ”

"Prince!"

Cao Shi pushed away his block and walked past him firmly.

Wang Meng suddenly realized that the prince had grown up unconsciously, and he was no longer a three-foot boy kneeling in front of his deceased father and crying, he had grown into a strong adult, as tall and strong as the old prince.

Cao Shi stroked the war bow and gently plucked the bowstring: "Ding Yi old thief, you shouldn't come, there are only more than 20 remnants left and the defeated generals shouldn't come again, and you shouldn't stab Uncle Wang to a serious injury, you are killing yourself!" ”

Ding Gong picked up the long sword and wiped away the blood stains on the tip of the sword: "Don't use rhetoric and clever words to deceive the old man, if you do it once, you won't go to it a second time, the old man has had enough of your ghost tricks, and he died early This heart still has a glimmer of life when I return to South Vietnam, if you are obsessed, there is only a dead end!" ”

There was a faint whistle outside the dense forest.

Ding Gong's face changed slightly, his people are all here, who else will blow to the whistle?

Wang Mengfei blew a whistle as hard as he could, and the sharp whistle broke through the jungle barrier and spread into the distance, and the dense forest was silent for a moment and then there was a short whistle, which was a response whistle, indicating that the other party heard the echo.

"Alright, our reinforcements are coming, you can die in peace."

At some point, Cao Shi held ten arrows in his hand and quietly looked at the assassins thirty paces away (22.5 meters), with a bright smile on his face.

In the eyes of the Assassins, the smile was terrifying.

"Die!"

The assassins rushed over frantically, and heard the violent trembling of the bowstring in their ears, and a black dot instantly drilled into the Adam's apple, and the black dot deadly arrow pierced through the neck without dissipation, and then shot another assassin behind him, and the two of them desperately covered their necks one after the other, and blood spurted out like a column. It's like a doll that runs away and quickly wilts and falls to the ground, choking its breath.

The brave Assassins braved death and charged, even as their companions fell one by one by the mud, and the living rushed through gritted teeth.

Cao Shi laughed, just like the Great Demon King's taunt of the Demon Slayer Brave: "Are you testing my shooting?" I might as well tell you a little secret, I can shoot 2 arrows in one second, and each arrow can pierce through the armor within 1o meters, and the limit of power is 3 arrows in 1 second, and the faster you rush, the faster you die. ”

Poof!

When the last Assassin clutched his chest and fell unwillingly, the two dozen remaining Assassins all died from his arrows. Whether you're tossing and turning, jumping up and down. As long as you are within the lock range of the arrow, you can't escape death, and the degree of jumping can never be compared to the degree of archery.

Ding Gong shook angrily as he clutched his long sword, and suddenly he realized that he had made a fatal mistake and underestimated Cao Shi's horror. He couldn't imagine that a bow and a bag of arrows could be so powerful.

He didn't see the power of Lian Baiyan with his own eyes. But he knew that the young man in front of him could kill him with one arrow. The murderous swordsmanship that has been practiced for many years is so fragile within the range of the bow and arrow, it is no wonder that the bravest warriors of antiquity were archers.

From the beginning, he chose the wrong path. The Assassins hidden in the darkness were powerful, but they were not destined to be the match for the Hundred Battles General.

Under the bow and arrow, no matter how strong Ding Gong's strength is, he is only a high-level infantry, an infantry who can be killed with a wave.

Ding Gong was afraid.

Once despised death, he flinched shamefully when death appeared in front of him.

Cao Shi raised his bow and smiled: "You run!" Just run, don't worry about not shooting you. ”

"You...... You mean it! ”

"You run!"

"You swear!"

"Forget it, you better die!"

Ding Gong's eyes were full of fear: "Don't! I'll run, I'll run! You have to talk the talk! ”

"Run! Hurry up! Don't keep me waiting. ”

"I'm going to run, I'm going to run."

Ding Gong turned around and ran, and as soon as he took a step, a strong wind blew in his ears, and his bun was shot in all directions, and a few wisps of white flew down in the wind.

"Run! If you don't run, I'm going to kill you. ”

Ding Gong didn't dare to look back or question, he continued to run forward with his head stuffy, just after taking a few steps, his right leg staggered to the ground in pain, and his right thigh was pierced by an arrow.

Yes!

Ding Gong was sweating profusely, and the sharp pain of being shot through his thigh almost made him faint in pain.

He gritted his teeth and moved out step by step with his long sword, as long as he walked into the dense forest, the arrows would no longer shoot him, and the woods were only a dozen paces away, and he had a good chance.

Poof!

Ding Gong's left hand holding the long sword had a sharp pain, and he fell on the spot and gnawed a mouthful of mud, and his left hand was pierced by an arrow in his big arm.

The old man in white, who was originally dressed neatly, turned into an old white madman covered in dirty blood in a moment, and he finally couldn't bear it anymore: "Didn't you say you wouldn't kill me?" Why shoot me! Why? ”

"I only said I wouldn't kill you, I didn't say I wouldn't shoot you! Hurry up and run! Just slip into the woods and you can live. ”

Ding Gong's hateful teeth were about to crush, and he limped forward slowly with the long sword in his right hand, and the sharp pain with every step made him want to die, and the blood was flowing non-stop.

Poof!

The left leg was shot through.

Ding Gong gnawed on another mouthful of mud.

He grabbed the mud with one right hand and crawled forward desperately, staring at the dense forest only a few steps away with a pair of old eyes, which was his last hope.

Poof!

The right hand was shot through.

Ding Gong's limbs couldn't move, and he desperately hit his head against the mud: "Why are you doing this to me, I don't want to die!" ”

Until an old man in black came to the dense forest, he was Ji Xin.

Behind him was Sun Qi, as well as dozens of Hou Mansion family members.

"Prince!"

Sun Qi strode past Ding Gong, walked to Cao Shi and knelt on the ground: "There is a mistake below!" Worthy of the trust of the old prince, he was not by his side when the prince needed help the most, and he was too late! ”

Cao Shi put away his bow: "Uncle Sun, don't say it, quickly help up Uncle Wang, he is very seriously injured and is about to die." ”

The other side.

Ji Xin, who was dressed in black, looked down at his cousin covered in blood, and his eyes flashed with anger and disgust: "Ding Yi! Have you forgotten what the old man told you? The old man has warned you again and again, you have taken it as a deaf ear, what do you think the old man has been doing for the past year and a half? From Nanyue to Nanyi, there are my footprints on every mountain beam, I want to see where you will go to do your revenge plan, you really went to Nanyue, and you really chased to Nanyi, you disappointed me so much. ”

"Grandfather, are you going to kill him?" Behind Ji Xin, a young man in black walked out.

His name is Ji Ying, twenty-three or four-year-old appearance, nine feet tall like his grandfather, with a gloomy face like a young version of Ji Xin, murderous aura lingering between his eyebrows, and he would definitely be a murderous monster a few decades ago.

The Chu people are still red and brave, the Ji family is still black and brutal, this family is an outlier among the Chu people, and it is a copy of the character of the Qin people.

Ding Gong was like a lost dog, snot and tears flowed all over his face: "Brother save me, I really don't want to die, save my life for decades!" ”

Ji Xin shook his head: "I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place?" If you are injured like this, bleeding will also make you die, and if you can't survive the level of drawing an arrow at your age, blood loss will make you die immediately, so let's give you a good time. ”

Choke!

The long sword was unsheathed, and Ding Gong stared at the glittering brightness and froze.

Once upon a time, he loved that light, shining a little bit against the brilliant sun, as long as a sword stabbed out and shot blood.

Suddenly he was scared, the light was not so beautiful, it was ugly, it was terrifying, it was hideous, it was a sign of death.

Phew!

The long sword stabbed in the back of the heart, he trembled like a sifting chaff, and raised his head with only strength: "Brother, I was wrong, I should have gone to learn the craft to be a carpenter, I have been very fond of carpentry since I was a child, I made my own makeup box to give to the little girl next door, I like her, she also likes me, and then I went to learn the sword, she stood at the door to bid me farewell, and then I heard that she was married, she was unhappy, I met her, she said she liked me, but I only had revenge in my eyes, she was desperate, and then died, I don't know where she was buried, Maybe I was wrong from the beginning, wrong ......" (To be continued!)

ps: It's finally about to end the nasty plot, and some book friends say that this book is turning to Xun Qin Ji, and I'm going to get drunk when I see that. If you don't write this nasty Ding Gong drama, how can you go south? Those who have read the historical materials know that Nanyue, Minyue, and Dongou are stuck together, and there are more troublesome Southwest Yi, Han Wu is busy with his whole life and will kill the first three, and they are all done in his later years, Southwest Yi is powerless, and that place can only stand up in the era of Zhuge Liang, which is the famous Seven Capture Meng Shu.
