Chapter 514: Encountering Enemy Soldiers
Listening to Xu Liang's words, Rou'er tightened her lips, stood up straight, and said in a firm tone: "My lord, I can do it." You don't have to worry about me. ”
Xu Liang said angrily: "Who is worried about you!" I'm a burden to you! ”
Tietou hesitated and said, "Young Master, we have now entered the belly of the mountain, if you leave Miss Rou'er here, in case you encounter a wolf or something, wouldn't Miss Rou'er be dangerous!" I think it's better for Rou'er to come with us. ”
Xu Liang listened reasonably, so he waved his hand and said, "Then let's go quickly." ”
The group walked for a while, and as far as the eye could see, there was a white expanse all around, except for the occasional bird call, but no prey was found.
Xu Liang and more than ten other people went around the mountain for a while, except for a pheasant shot down by the iron head, the rest of the people actually found nothing, and Xu Liang didn't have a chance to shoot an arrow.
An hour later, everyone was tired, so they stopped under a big tree to rest, Tsing Yi Wei cleaned up a dry place, picked up some dry firewood and burned it, Rou'er took out the small pot with her, boiled some snow water, and quenched everyone's thirst.
At this time, the snow had long since stopped, and there was a rare silence in the mountains and forests. Xu Liang took the boiling hot water, nibbled on a piece of bread, and then turned his head to look at the dead pheasant at the feet of Tietou, and couldn't help but say in frustration: "After working for most of the morning, I actually caught a pheasant!" ”
Rou'er sat against Xu Liang, and said when she heard the words: "My lord, in fact, going into the mountains to hunt depends on some luck. I heard my grandfather say that the best time to hunt is after four or five days of heavy snowfall, because most of the animals hiding are hungry. Will come out looking for food. This is the third day of heavy snowfall, and the time is a little early. ”
Xu Liang sneered: "I can't see it." Your grandfather, Old Man Yang, knows a lot of things. ”
The group rested for a while, and Tietou suggested, "Young Master." It's been a while since we've been out, so let's go down the mountain, okay? ”
Everyone else looked at Xu Liang, waiting for him to come up with an idea.
Xu Liang kicked away the snowdrift in front of him with one foot, and said unconvinced: "No, let's have a hard time making a trip, and we have to get some real goods back." He pointed ahead and said, "Let's go forward for half an hour, and if we still don't find the prey, then go home." ”
Xu Liang said. Then they gathered up their things and got up, and the group began to explore the depths of the mountain.
The mountains and forests began to thicken, and the main road into the mountains had long been indistinguishable, and Xu Liang and others also based on experience, where they were more open, they would go wherever they went.
After walking for another half an hour, everyone couldn't even tell where they were, except for a row of footprints of different shades that had just stepped out behind them, and there was a white snow scene in front of them.
Xu Liang snorted hotly. looked around and said helplessly: "It seems that today is destined to return empty-handed." ”
When everyone heard this, they were about to walk back, when suddenly Rou'er pointed to a small tree in the upper left. He whispered, "My lord, there's something there." ”
Xu Liang listened and looked in the direction Rou'er pointed. I saw a small bush of raised trees fifty meters above the left, with a thick layer of snow on it. At first glance, it looks like a white tent.
Xu Liang and the others picked up their bows and arrows and aimed at the bushes. Xu Liang looked at Rou'er suspiciously, "What is it?" ”
Rou'er whispered, "The leaves of that bush have been gnawed, and when we came over, I saw that the bush seemed to shake a little, and there must be something in it." ”
Xu Liang listened, and motioned to the iron head and others beside him, and a group of people cautiously approached the bushes. A dozen people made a slight rustling sound in the snow.
Xu Liang stared at the bushes closely, and when the distance was closer to more than ten meters, suddenly, the bushes shook, and the snow on them fell down with a bang, and at the same time, a yellow shadow came out of the bushes, jumping and jumping quickly into the distance.
"It's a deer!" Xu Liang's eyes lit up, and the arrows in his hands flew out, and then he heard the deer neigh, and an arrow hung on his back, and soon ran into the woods, and he couldn't see it.
Tietou and the ten Tsing Yi guards did not release arrows, and they tacitly handed over this rare prey to their own adults.
"The deer is injured and can't run far, so catch up." Xu Liang laughed and ran to follow, and Tietou and the others followed suit.
Xu Liang took the lead, following the footprints of the injured deer, twisting and turning, and from time to time he could still see a few shallow drops of blood.
After chasing for three or four hundred meters, Xu Liang found the arrow that fell from the deer's back in a thorny bush. In the distance, the injured deer ran slower and slower, hissing and running a hundred meters in front of Xu Liang.
Seeing this scene, Xu Liang was not in a hurry, stopped Tietou and the others, and ordered them to stay where they were, Xu Liang walked over unhurriedly with a bow and arrow.
Ahead was a small valley, and the deer had obviously lost too much blood, staggering, running slower and slower, and even glanced back at Xu Liang, who had caught up.
Xu Liang was less than fifty meters away from the deer, and Xu Liang could even see the deep arrow wound blood groove on the deer's back, and the red blood water was gurgling out, dripping down the snow-white ground along the brown hair.
Xu Liang had already put down his bow and arrows, and in the case of this deer, there was no need to make up for another arrow.
Thirty meters, Xu Liang slowed down about thirty meters away from the deer, waiting for the deer to lose too much blood and fall down automatically.
The deer probably knew that it would be difficult to get rid of the hunter behind him, and his limbs shook even more, and he couldn't stop screaming.
Boom!
Suddenly, an arrow suddenly shot at the deer, and the force of the arrow was so great that it went through the neck of the deer.
With a plop, the deer hissed miserably, and finally fell to the ground, struggling a few times on all fours, as if trying to get up again, but all in vain.
The arrow appeared so suddenly that after the deer who was hit by the arrow screamed and fell to the ground, Xu Liang was still stunned, he looked back behind him, and saw that Tietou and all the guards were standing fifty meters away, looking at Xu Liang.
Obviously, the arrow could not have been shot by the Iron Head and others.
So......
Xu Liang looked ahead suddenly, only to hear two men in green clothes wearing felt hats and holding longbows jumping out of the corner in front of him. Cheering and running towards the fallen deer.
Listening to the strange cheers, Xu Liang suddenly became vigilant. This mountain range is northeast of Yutian. If it was the Orion of the Ming Dynasty, their cheers. Xu Liang can still understand it somewhat. And the two people who came over pretended to be weird and shouted in a strange tone, but Xu Liang couldn't understand a word.
In the blink of an eye, the two men ran to the side of the deer, but Xu Liang opened his bow and arrow, pointed at the two people, and shouted: "Stop! ”
When the two men saw Xu Liang at first glance, they screamed. Hurriedly raised the longbow in his hand and aimed it at Xu Liang. One of them hurriedly shouted something behind him, and then, without saying a word, the two of them shot an arrow at Xu Liang.
Seeing this, Xu Liang immediately shot an arrow, and at the same time his body deviated, dodging the arrow from the opposite side. Xu Liang's arrow hit one of the men, and the other saw his companion fall to the ground. Life and death were unknown, and he roared angrily and immediately lay down.
Xu Liang was about to make up another arrow, when he suddenly saw many people appearing in front of him. At the same time, a rain of arrows fell towards Xu Liangwei.
Under the dense shroud of arrows, Xu Liang turned over and retreated sharply.
At this time. Tietou and the others behind Xu Liang also discovered the abnormality in front of them, and everyone hurriedly rushed forward to respond.
"What's going on?" Ironhead exclaimed.
Xu Liang shook his head. "I don't know. A group of people suddenly appeared from the opposite side, grabbing my prey. Dare to shoot arrows at me. ”
"My lord, they're chasing you!" A Tsing Yi guard shouted.
Xu Liang and the others looked ahead again, and saw forty or fifty people on the opposite side, forming a fan formation and besieging Xu Liang's side, and a tall man among them shouted in blunt words: "Han people, lay down your arms!" I will spare you from dying! ”
Rou'er exclaimed, "My lord, run, we have met the Houjin soldiers!" ”
Xu Liang's heart jumped, and he scolded: "I said how to release arrows when we meet, it turns out to be an enemy!" ”
Hearing Rou'er say the identities of these people, Tietou and the ten Tsing Yi guards became nervous, and Tietou said: "Young master, there are many of them, we can't fight, let's withdraw quickly." ”
"Let's go!"
Xu Liang shouted, pulled Rou'er, and walked back. The guards shot a round of arrows at the approaching Houjin soldiers, slightly blocking the approach of the Houjin soldiers, turned around and protected Xu Liang and left.
Doron is the commander of the Thousand Commanders under the Houjin Grand Belle Amin, and the leader of this group of Houjin soldiers who quietly ran out to hunt. Duolong saw Xu Liang and the others see their own people, turned around and ran, and then looked at the outfits on Xu Liang and the others, especially the mink cloak on Xu Liang's body, Duolong guessed that the group of Han people who were fleeing must be important people in the Ming Dynasty, either big officials or rich sons.
Because, in the vicinity of Yutian, ordinary people will never have a mink cloak with such a good texture.
The scimitar in Duolong's hand pointed in the direction of Xu Liang's escape, and roared rudely: "The one wearing the cloak must be the great official of the Ming Dynasty, sons, kill him with the general and capture him alive, the general will have a heavy reward!" ”
"Kill!" When the Houjin soldiers around him heard this, they all seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and chased Xu Liang and the others with strange screams.
Xu Liang and the others ran in a panic towards the direction of the mountain, compared to the Houjin soldiers behind them, Xu Liang and the others did not escape very fast because they still had to take Rou'er. Seeing the screaming Houjin soldiers behind him getting closer and closer, Xu Liang was anxious, took Rou'er's hand and grabbed it, almost carrying Rou'er to run down the mountain.
Rou'er cried: "My lord, if you put me down and take me with you, you will drag everyone down." ”
Xu Liang's eyes widened angrily, and he scolded: "Shut up! I, Xu Liang, have never left my men behind and fled. ”
Suddenly, he heard arrows flying behind him, and the three Tsing Yi guards who were guarding behind let out a muffled snort, and the arrows fell to the ground. The iron head turned around and shot an arrow, and shouted at Xu Liang in a panic: "Young master, the enemy is chasing too closely, none of us can escape if we continue like this!" ”
"Then what do you say!" Xu Liang shouted.
The iron head shouted, "Young master, you go first!" Then he stopped, and shouted to the left and right: "Brothers, follow me to stop the enemy!" ”
The only remaining seven Tsing Yi guards roared, and they all stopped, turning back and firing arrows at the Houjin soldiers who had caught up.
Seeing this, Xu Liang's eyes widened angrily, and he lifted Rou'er's whole person up, and the Great Prajna Gong in his body ran wildly, leaping down the mountain.
After running four or five hundred meters in a frenzy, Xu Liang stopped, let go, and Rou'er fell on the snow, inhaling heavily. Because Xu Liang ran too fast, Rou'er was carried by Xu Liang in her hand, and she almost had to go away.
Behind him, there was a faint sound of fighting.
Xu Liang looked back, but didn't see Tietou and Tsing Yi Wei coming over, and then listened carefully to the sound of the fight becoming rarer and rarer, Xu Liang's face sank, and shouted to Rou'er: "You find a place to hide first." With that, Xu Liang took a deep breath, turned around and ran towards the mountain.
Behind her, Rou'er exclaimed, "My lord?!" ”
The battle on the mountain was nearing its end, and there were only two Tsing Yi guards left by Tietou's side, and in the face of the arrows that kept shooting, the three of them tried their best to dodge, and took the opportunity to shoot another arrow.
One of the Tsing Yi guards was hit by an arrow in the chest, screamed, and fell to the feet of the iron head.
The iron head roared angrily and shouted at the only Tsing Yi guard: "Little Liu, we are going to confess here today, are you afraid?" ”
The Tsing Yi Wei replied: "Being able to die with the iron stall head, what is there for Xiaoliu to be afraid of." ”
Tietou smiled miserably and said, "Good brother, let's still be brothers in the next life!" ”
Xiao Liu nodded, and then stood back to back with Tietou, looking at the Houjin soldiers who came over from the cage.
Duo Long looked at these two Han people coldly, the previous shooting and fighting, the Han people with less than ten people actually caused more than 20 deaths and injuries under Duo Long's men, which was unacceptable to the always proud Houjin soldiers.
Duolong came out to hunt for more than 50 soldiers this time, and after a pursuit, the cloaked Ming Dynasty official not only did not catch up, but lost more than 20 people.
Duolong was extremely angry, but at the same time, he was even more sure that the Han people who had fled under the cover of these guards before must have an extremely noble status in the Ming Dynasty, otherwise, his subordinates would definitely not be able to raise such a fierce guard.
As long as the two people in front of him are cleaned up, Duolong can continue to chase the Ming Dynasty official. In Duolong's understanding, like the great officials of the Ming Dynasty, although their status is noble, their ability to escape for their lives will definitely not be too good.
Seeing the two Han guards standing back to back, and seeing that they had already run out of arrows, Duolong smiled cruelly, raised his right hand, and waited for the order to release the arrows.
Shino! An arrow, with a whistling sound, shot at the Houjin soldiers, and one of the soldiers beside Doron fell to the ground screaming.
Doron looked up, and suddenly his eyes were at their maximum.
In front, the cloaked Ming Dynasty official actually ran towards him quickly, shooting arrows as he ran.
Beside Duolong, the Houjin soldiers kept falling with arrows.
Tietou saw Xu Liang, and under great joy, the tiger roared, and another Tsing Yi guard drew his sword and pounced on the Houjin soldiers.
"Your Excellency is back to meet us, kill!"
"Quick, quick, release the arrow!" Doron exclaimed. Retreat again and again. (To be continued......)
