Spring 17 Confrontation (I)
Sun Ren, who was hanging from the tree, opened his eyes, his ears were buzzing, the sun of Shen Shi was swaying in the forest, and a lone wolf ran under the tree, stepping on the fallen leaves.
Sun Ren slid down the tree with difficulty, and he was shocked to find that the Qi in the Yuan Pond was very weak, which was completely inconsistent with the surging that the realm of light and talent should have, the spirit cauldron was lifeless, and the heart gate was slow to move, it was simply as weak as the Mengxian realm.
Thinking of that strange woman, a vicious chill crept into his heart, and Sun Ren fell to the ground like a punch out of thin air.
Sitting on the ground, looking at the sword that fell not far away, and then looking at the fellow disciples who were hanging on the branches, Sun Ren whispered: "Qi has been plundered too much, Yuanchi has been injured, and he has retreated to the realm of Mengxian......"
Tears almost burst out of his eyes, but Sun Ren held back again.
"Returned to Mengxian, Sui Mountain...... Pei Xuanli's old thing must have regarded me as a waste. ”
Guessing the attitude of the master towards his group, Sun Ren stood up, thinking that it would be better to get all his classmates down from the tree first.
Yun Zheng, Wang Cheng, and the other six fellow disciples were all taken down from the tree by Sun Ren in turn, and they all still breathed.
Due to his lack of strength, after carrying Wang Cheng down, Sun Ren casually threw him in the bushes, and then carefully climbed the tree and grabbed the hand of the last fellow disciple, Ma Qiang, but Ma Qiang's hand was already cold.
Sun Ren was stunned and said regretfully: "That's ......"
After putting Ma Qiang on the ground, in order to hold back his sadness, he desperately searched for words to encourage him to look forward, thought for a long time, and blurted out: "If the old doesn't go, the new won't come." ”
As soon as the words came out, Sun Ren wanted to smoke himself, he took away the medicine gourd on Ma Qiang's waist, and said solemnly to Ma Qiang: "Mo Dao's fame needs a hundred battles, and I wish it would be like a river and not return it." ”
This is when he worshiped Sui Mountain, Ma Qiang encouraged him.
Before the words fell, a sound of horses' hooves broke into his ears, Sun Ren turned his head, squinted his eyes along the sound, and his eyes blessed by Qi suddenly saw a white flag with gold edges and a team of people rushing towards him.
Sun Ren was stunned, "Xirong?"
The four riders at the head were dressed in black scab armor with a layer of scaly quartz paint that shone like mercury in the sunlight, and the soldiers behind them were poorly armoured, made of bone and wood chips, but also coated with the same pigment.
Just when Sun Renchen was stunned, Wuzu Liang Dagger and a group of soldiers had already drawn their bows and moved, and when the first wave of arrows came to his face, Sun Rencai woke up from a big dream.
He hurriedly lay down, dodged three arrows, rolled behind a tree, and mustered up the courage to poke out his head, and by this time his brothers were covered with arrows, and the hanging breath was completely ended.
Sun Ren gritted his teeth, and even Ma Qiang, who was cold, was pierced through his skull by an arrow.
Through his senses, Sun Ren knew that no one except Wang Cheng was saved. Wang Cheng was placed in the bushes just now, and he was not discovered by these archers for the first time.
Sun Ren held his breath, left the cover of the trunk of the tree, avoided the arrows in a thrilling way, and carried the little junior brother Wang Cheng up when he ran through the bushes, and ran away.
Get rid of distractions and run away on instinct.
At the same time, Sun Ren didn't even realize that his right arm was grazed by an arrow.
Liang Dagger pointed at Sun Ren, who had fled, with a horsewhip, and asked the little prince beside him: "Lord Ashgu, look?"
"Chase, anyway, I didn't encounter any good prey nearby. ”
After the previous attack on Cisse, the horses entered the plain where they could gallop freely.
But further south, things changed.
The outer side of Cisse was mountainous, and upon entering the pass, Sijon found that there were various mounds, hills, and woods on the south side, which still made it difficult for the cavalry to run wildly.
Feeling the discomfort of the horse's hooves on the saddle, Ashgu succumbed to the woods and rugged paths, chasing the looming prey in the unknown mountain forest.
Ashgu controlled the reins with his right hand and grabbed the bow with his left hand, staring at Sun Ren, who was fleeing in embarrassment among the trees.
"Almost, my arrow was smeared with cloud axis medicine, and it should be numb. ”
Uncle Liangdag's voice came from behind: "Lord Wang, I feel that there is qi bubbling from that guy's body, probably Tianyong of the Xia people, but this Tianyong should have been injured before, and his qi is not strong." ”
Tianyong is Xirong's name for Zhou Shi.
Ashgu's right hand left the reins, and his two hips exerted force, clamped the horse's belly, and looked at Sun Renping, and opened his bow and arrows.
The two sides are right the home of the rocky hills, and the trees are much less disturbing.
"Even if it's Tianyong, it's going to fall, it's almost!"
Before the words fell, Sun Ren felt a pain in his chest, his limbs were sore, and he fell to the ground, and all the Xirong riders cheered "Zhuang!" as they did when they were successful in hunting on the Pingchuan Plateau.
One by one, the Xijon riders also began to scramble forward.
"Almost, isn't it? ”
Zhang Yi squatted on the stone mountain on the east side, with fox ears towering, four fox tails high and open, and a lantern at his feet.
The fox ear listened to the sound of the mountains and forests, and the fox tail strengthened his sense and sense of the wind, Zhang Yi quickly recalled the arrangements made by his father after receiving Nan Shicai's warning, and glanced at the village soldiers in ambush in the west.
"Father said that there was a sixty percent chance that Xijon would pass through here, and he really guessed it. ”
Within Sun Ren's breath of being numb, Zhang Yi stretched out his bird's gun.
The copper coin-shaped mouth reflects the brilliance of metal in the sunlight, and the rune engraving on the body is new and bright, and it is shining with the introduction of Qi Current.
Unwilling to be reluctant, Ashgu rode forward and shouted, "That's mine!"
Liang Dagger did not rush to run, he looked around in the rear, and found that it was surrounded by mountains on three sides, each tall and short, and he suddenly felt bad.
Zhang Yi shouted in a low voice: "Take it!"
Through the door in the rear, and then to the front sight in front, Zhang Yiyuanqi's full eyes had already caught the flamboyant Ashgu.
The faucet slammed into the fire door, ignited the primer, and then the gun exploded.
The projectile pierced a man's carapace, his helmet fell to the ground, blood splattered, and the rider left the saddle and fell to the ground under the heavy blow.
Blood splattered on Ashgu's breastplate and cover,
It was his childhood friend who was killed, and he howled, "Naldob!"
At the moment when Zhang Yi opened fire, this young man named Naldob wanted to behead Sun Ren faster than Ashgu, so he ran sideways, shook Ashgu's side, and was hit by a bullet.
"Didn't hit!"
Zhang Yi hung the lantern on his waist, and while reloading the medicine in frustration, he slid down the hill deftly, landing in the forest below the mountain, and tried his best to get a little closer to Xirong.
Xijon's reaction was extremely fast, and as soon as the blood was splashed, all the riders quickly dismounted, drew their swords or opened their bows, and each made a whistle, and the horses fell to their knees obediently, not caring at all about Sijon using them as flesh and blood bunkers.
This series of actions occurred in a few breaths, which made the bows and arrows fired by the village soldiers in ambush in Xishan almost miss, except for the arrow released by Shi Xie with the wind.
The arrow, carried by the wind, pierced a kneeling horse, penetrated the horse, and struck straight into the chest of Sijon behind the horse.
The well-informed Liang Dagger exclaimed, "Xu Archer?"
When he was young, he led an army to fight against the Jin State, and once met Xu archers who were hired by the Jin State.
The impression of "the wind and arrows destroy the formation, and the swift arrows break the ride" still lingers in the heart of Liang Dagger.
Wuzu Liang Dagger's eyes were like lightning, and he quickly spotted the figure in ambush on the western hillside.
The Xijon soldiers also began to fight back with their bows and arrows, and some of the village soldiers on the slope were too aggressive and were directly killed by Xirong's bows.
Seeing this, Liang Dagger quickly regained his composure, "Xu Archer doesn't have many hands, Aganta Tower!"
Aganta means "follow the banner and charge to the death" in the Xijon language.
A white silk and gold-rimmed flag was raised high, and the Xijon warriors howled and chased after the banner, charging with the daggers.
Shi Tao looked at the forty-three Xirong warriors who climbed up, the speed and momentum shocked him, and the arrow in his hand shot directly crooked.
Shi Tao scolded Zhang Chenyuan, who was sitting in the village at this time: "You are still so fierce when you climb up the hill?
The village soldiers he brought with him were no more than twenty-five.
Zhang Chenyuan considered that Sanqiao Village lacked troops and could not exhaust the village soldiers, if ordinary villagers were added to the ambush personnel, even if they were fierce by nature, they might not be able to maintain discipline before Xirong approached, and he learned from Nan Shicai that all the people who came were cavalry, so he thought that Xirong was not good at mountains and could be entangled with them.
It is true that Xijon is all cavalry, but it is a big misunderstanding that he is not good at mountains.
Ashgu calculated the amount in advance, deftly flashed the arrows shot from the slope, and then grabbed the stone crack between the slopes like a flying ape, and continued to climb upward.
Su Qing, translated as Xia language, that is, "Wudang (fighter) in the mountains".
Unlike those who were only satisfied with the meadows of the plateau, the Qing people first adapted to the mountains and ravines, and then went to conquer the horses.
Many Xirong grabbed the arrows shot by the village soldiers, one hand and one foot, and steadily grabbed the sloping slope, and many Xirong did not forget to raise their heads, and at the village soldiers on the mountainside, mocking in half-baked Xia language: "Arrows, soft!"
This cooled the morale of the village soldiers, and Shi Xie saw that the hands of more than a dozen village soldiers pulling the strings began to tremble.
Shi Xie plucked the wind strings and shot another Xijon to death, and then he subconsciously closed his eyes.
Because the scale quartz paint on Xijon's body glows brightly under the sun, the archers often have to close their eyes or look away.
In the history of Yu, the people of the Qing Dynasty are vertical and horizontal ravines, such as walking on flat ground; going uphill and down the mountain, going out of the stream and into the stream, exceeding the height and going far, walking lightly.
Shi Xie shouted: "Retreat along the mountain road!
Shi Tao nodded, retracted his bow and turned around, and was grabbed by Shi Xie's shoulder, "Mr. Hu, you are also the queen of the palace, otherwise I will kill you to correct military discipline!"
"Me!?"
Helplessly, Shi Tao had to take out his bow again.
Three Sijon conquered the hillside, climbed the mountainside, and hit two of them head-on with two arrows, but at the same time, more Sijon climbed up.
Counting Naldob, who died in the fire, Sijon lost six people.
Seeing that Xirong was difficult to control, Shi Xie and Shi Tao turned around and fled, Shi Tao ran extremely fast, and ran in front of Shi Xie at once.
Xirong chased after him, and when he jumped down the mountain pass, Shi Xie's foot was stuck in the roots of the tree exposed on the ground, and it was difficult to get out for a while, and Shi Tao turned back in a hurry.
Selling personal favors, this guy may be able to solve the difficulties of his revenge.
For this purpose, Shi Tao and Shi Xie helped him pull out his foot together, and the two of them were a little out of strength for a while.
At this moment, a Sijon climbed over the col with a knife and caught up with the two men who had just escaped from the roots of the tree.
"Bang"
There was a sound in the forest, and Xirong, who rushed with a knife, fell down in response.
Shi Tao patted Shi Xie on the shoulder, "Let's run!"
Frightened by the unknown whereabouts of the guns, the Xijon who caught up was crowded in a mess, and he didn't know how to advance or retreat for a while.
"Is this the sound of gunpowder?"
"Where's the gunner? something like a mouse!"
"Do they have a lot of guns?"
"Sneaky, cunning as a fox, humble as a mouse, where is it?"
Ashgu, who caught up, scolded the soldiers who were stuck in the fire, "They don't have many firearms, what are they afraid of, if they have too many guns, they will shoot a salvo during the ambush!"
The dragon who was familiar with the local situation caught up with him panting, and said to Ashgu: "Ah, Lord Ashgu, I guess that it is the people of Sanqiao Village, and the people of Longqiu Pass say that Zhang Chenyuan, who has rebuilt Sanqiao Village, has a heroic atmosphere. ”
Ashgu didn't understand what 'Haojie' meant, and Liang Dagger explained: "The Haojie that the Xia people said is the 'Zhixiong' that we call the Qing people. ”
"Okay, I'm getting more and more energetic, go back to the horse, I'll meet this wise bear for a while." ”
When he said this, Ashgu gritted his teeth, he planned to make everyone in Sanqiao Village pay their blood debts, regardless of the cost.
My own personal guards, playmates from childhood to adulthood......
It is a great shame to be ambushed by such mountain and wild miscellaneous soldiers, and even lose seven people before the enemy is completely annihilated.
"Uncle Liang Dagger, wait a while, immediately tidy up the heavenly weapons in the saddle, and at night, we will use heavenly skills to level the Three Bridges Village in one fell swoop. ”
The 'Heavenly Technique' in the population of the Qing Dynasty is the 'Zhou Technique' in the mouth of the Zhuxia.
Xijon returned to the ambush, where the horse was still waiting honestly, and Sun Ren, who was the prey, was nowhere to be seen.
Shi Tao and Shi Xie escaped death and caught up with the large army.
They fled back to Sanqiao Village, and when they returned, they counted the number of people and found that there were twelve missing, of which they did not know which ones were dead and which ones were missing.
As soon as Shi Xie entered the fortress of Nanshan, he lowered his head and said gloomily: "I will take full responsibility." ”
A dragon man with a broken cheek and a bloody mouth suddenly said to Shi Xie, "You have done a good enough job of using us foot soldiers to purge people. ”
The dragon man who spoke was shot in the cheek by a stray arrow, and half of the arrow cluster was not taken out.
Zhang Chenyuan saw his daughter climb into the fortress from a corner that no one was paying attention to, he breathed a sigh of relief, put on a self-reproachful face and said to the defeated soldiers: "Mr. Shi, you sort out your state of mind, tell me the enemy's reality, and we will re-plan." ”
Zhang Chenyuan looked at the canopy in the twilight and said loudly: "Xirong has gone deep into the three passes, there must be a guide, they are used to night attacks, and they will definitely come tonight." ”
He immediately ordered the preparation of firewood and the hastening of food in preparation for the night battle.
When the dragons heard the news of the night battle, some hugged the boring rake in their arms, some held the wooden spear soaked in dung water, and then they began to break their thoughts.
At first glance, you may mistake it for a song, but if you listen closely, you will find that it is either a person's name or their former property.
What the Longyu people are talking about is the people and things that have been lost because of Xirong over the years.
This may also be regarded as a kind of song, including the low song of elegy and war song.
Han Tian glanced at the dragon and said calmly: "The people's will is available." ”
Then he continued to urge the Jin people to sharpen the bamboo, and sent people down the mountain to poison the well water in the village, while his disciples taught the Tianjing people how to use the slings.
Zhang Chenyuan called Shi Xie, the two walked to a room in the depths of the fortress, pushed open the door, Zhang Yi and a lantern were waiting for them inside, Zhang Chenyuan couldn't wait to take out Wang Yu from the lantern.
Ignoring the amazed Shixie, Zhang Chenyuan anxiously asked: "What do you think of the invading enemy, Wang Yu, through the Alaya Knowledge, and what are their hole cards?"
At the same time, the entrance to the village of Mitsuhashi ......
"Da, da, da, da. ”
When the night officially replaced the day, the depressed Sun Ren carried his junior brother on his back and knocked on the pass gate of Sanqiao Village in confusion.
