Chapter 20: Assassination
Coming out of the blacksmith shop, Qin Dong took four cavalry to ride on horseback and rushed to the outside of the royal court, and after walking less than a mile, Qin Dong felt that something was wrong, and the pedestrians on the road were gone!
When I first came out of the blacksmith's shop, there were still many people walking on the road, and many people were cooking food outside the tent, but now I have only walked more than a mile, and the situation has completely changed. Qin Dong faintly felt uneasy in his heart.
The four cavalrymen behind him also sensed that something was wrong, and one of them said: "Master Centurion, the situation doesn't seem right!" β
Qin Dong slowed down his horse and picked up the spear tightly, observed the situation left and right, and found that this tent area was quiet, as if there was no one, but Qin Dong carefully found that there were several benefits There were burning charcoal sparks in front of the tent, which showed that there were people cooking food not long ago, but for some reason, the whole map suddenly stopped.
Qin Dong grabbed the reins and let the horse stop, turned his head and said to the cavalry on the left rear side: "You take down the tent next to you and see if there are still people inside!" β
"Yes, sir!" The horseman turned, dismounted, and walked to a nearby tent.
The cold wind blowing at night couldn't help but add a little chill, and at the same time, Qin Dong felt a burst of murderous aura coming from the air, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, this was definitely a sign of danger.
The dismounted cavalry had already walked to the door of the tent, and had just reached out to lift the curtain, when suddenly a sharp arrow pierced the air, piercing the diaphragm of the night and hitting the knight's right neck, the arrow pierced through the left neck, and the scarlet blood dripping from the tip of the arrow looked particularly bewitching in the moonlight.
"Enemy attackβ" Qin Dong yelled.
And at this moment, the overwhelming rain of arrows fell from the sky, and Qin Dong could no longer take care of the three cavalrymen behind, he quickly danced his spear, and danced the spear to the airtight.
"Ding Ding Ding ......" The arrows falling from the sky were constantly swept away by Qin Dong's spear, but three cavalrymen kept screaming "Ahhh......h
Qin Dong knew that the three cavalrymen behind him must be hopeless, he could only pray now that he was lucky not to be shot by this wave of arrows, he himself used force to protect the spear around his body, but he couldn't protect the horse's whole body, the horse was shot with two arrows on the buttocks, the horse was injured and rushed forward like crazy, Qin Dong could only wave the spear non-stop all the time, while riding the horse and galloping forward.
Suddenly, the horse stumbled on its front legs and fell to the ground without warning, Qin Dong was shocked, and just as he was about to hit the ground, Qin Dong hurriedly pushed the spear to the ground in front of him, and the spear flew up from the horse with his body supported, and then fell to the ground with a somersault.
He half-squatted on the ground holding the spear in both hands, and saw a rope where the horse stumbled, it turned out that someone had pulled the tripping rope here, and his mount was lying on the ground at this time struggling to get up, obviously the horse's leg was broken, and dozens of meters ahead, all three of his cavalry were shot into hedgehogs by the rain of arrows and fell to the ground, including the war horse.
Although Qin Dong was facing the direction he was coming from, his attention was observing all the places around him, and the position he was in now was outside the range of the rain of arrows just now, but he still felt that he was not out of danger.
No, Qin Dong felt that he couldn't just stand in the middle of the road, the range of attack from standing in the middle of the road was too large, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of defense, he slowly moved to the side with a spear, there was a tent on the side of the road, and it was at least safer to rely on the tent than to stand in the middle of the road.
When he leaned against the edge of the tent, he felt that the danger was getting closer and closer, where did the danger come from? Qin Dong suddenly seemed to think of something, his face changed greatly, and he immediately moved his position to the side.
"Whew-" Suddenly, a thin sword pierced through the tent behind him, and just stabbed it where Qin Dong was standing just now.
It turned out that the danger came from inside the tent, Qin Dong suddenly realized, he immediately turned around and stabbed it with a shot, only to feel that it had pierced some soft body, and then he heard a scream from the tent.
Before Qin Dong could draw his spear, the entire tent was cut open by several thin swords, and four assassins dressed in black rushed out of the tent and raised their swords to beckon Qin Dong.
Qin Dong didn't have time to parry, he dragged the spear and rolled on the ground several times in a row, not only dodging the assassination of the four black-clothed assassins, but also pulling out the spear.
After regaining his footing, Qin Dong found that he had been surrounded, and twenty or thirty black-clothed assassins surrounded him in a circle, only to hear one person in front of him say in Greek: "Fight quickly, deal with him before the patrol cavalry arrives, on!" β
After the leader of the assassins gave the order, the two assassins behind him swung their swords and pounced, Qin Dong seemed to feel something, turned around and returned the carbine, the tip of the spear shook a few times, only to see that a bloody hole appeared in the forehead of the two assassins who sneaked up, and they fell to the ground in disbelief.
Someone pounced on the front again, how could Qin Dong let them get close, as the saying goes, an inch long is an inch strong, an inch short is an inch dangerous, and now that he is being besieged, the spear can only exert his greatest strength in his hand, and the use of the gun is also the most beneficial to him.
The two of them didn't see the death of the two people behind them at all, and they followed in the footsteps of the two behind them before they figured out the situation, and both of them were stabbed in the forehead by Qin Dong and died.
When the leader of the assassins saw that he couldn't breathe, and that four of his men had died in a row, he couldn't help but gasp and immediately shouted, "Don't talk about any demeanor, everyone go together!" β
This time Qin Dong was passive, he was attacked on all sides, and he could only continuously sweep thousands of troops to prevent the assassins from getting close, suddenly two assassins rolled over from the ground, Qin Dong had to jump up to dodge the assassin's long sword that cut off his feet, a distraction was actually cut in the back by an assassin, Qin Dong only felt a sharp pain in his brain, injured, he involuntarily let out a muffled snort.
No, you can't be surrounded here, you must break through, Qin Dong found that these assassins are specially trained, and there is a way to cooperate with the battle, although he is strong in martial arts, but he lacks actual combat experience, and his marksmanship is suitable for the battlefield of wide opening and closing, but it is not suitable for this kind of single-handed, or the situation of being beaten, it would be good if there was a horse, as long as he got on the horse, these people could not stop him, his marksmanship was a special horse combat marksmanship, and the combat effectiveness of the horse was more than twice as strong as that on the ground, but unfortunately his horse had fallen to the ground and could not get up.
Thinking of this, Qin Dong immediately rushed in one direction, several assassins in front of him suddenly couldn't resist a little, and were killed by Qin Dong and retreated again and again, the leader of the assassins immediately ordered the assassins to tighten the encirclement after discovering this situation, how could Qin Dong let them get their wish, only one by one rushed forward, the spear head flickered in the moonlight, and the spear flower brought death every time in the shaking, and two assassins in a row were poked countless blood holes on the chest by Qin Dong's shaking spear flower and fell to the ground.
The leader of the assassins and the assassins under him have obviously never seen the marksmanship from the East, this kind of martial art is simply a chance to harvest life, every time the spear shakes and stabs out, it takes away a human life, a spear is held by Qin Dong in his hand like a spirit snake is extremely flexible, especially the spear head, he can hardly see the appearance of the spear head, only feels the cold light, the assassin leader has begun to be a little frightened, in this moment, more than a dozen people have died under Qin Dong's gun, However, Qin Dong had already been stabbed twice, and his movements were not as fast as he had reacted at the beginning, and he became a little sluggish.
The leader of the assassins apparently also found out about this situation, and immediately said: "He can't do it, work harder, and get rid of him quickly!" β
Qin Dong turned to look at the assassin leader, and immediately gave up breaking through, but turned back to kill the assassin leader, his face was extremely vicious, like a demon rushing out of hell, the assassin leader saw Qin Dong abandon others and kill him, suddenly the square inch was in chaos, and he couldn't help but retreat again and again, seeing the rapidly approaching shaking spear flowers, the assassin leader felt the fear of suffocation.
Just when Qin Dong was about to kill the assassin leader with one shot, the two assassins blocked the path of the spear's advance, and the two assassins were instantly poked into a sieve, and the assassin leader was able to escape, but Qin Dong also paid the price, he was stabbed in the ribs!
"Quick, over there!" At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves and shouts came from the rear, and the patrol cavalry came, and at this time the cavalry who maintained the law and order of the royal court came.
The face of the leader of the assassins changed drastically, and he knew that he could not do anything, so he immediately decided: "Withdraw."
After two breaths, the remaining dozen or so assassins disappeared after dodging behind the surrounding tents, leaving only Qin Dong, covered in blood, half-kneeling on the ground with a spear and panting.
