19. Fight alone
After more than half an hour, the jade slip showed that Shiji was now forty miles away. Xiao Qian and the others couldn't stay in the back cabin, and gathered together in the front cabin again. Everyone had a short sword in their hands.
We continue to move forward. At this time, it is already the third pole of the sun. The river meanders and the water becomes narrower and narrower. The ice on the surface has been joined, and only the middle of the river is exposed to the flowing water. In many places, only one large ship can pass through. We had to slow down.
On the way, two boats stopped in the middle of the river. We barely squeezed through the ships and the ice. The boats almost collided. I searched the past with my spiritual sense, and there was no one inside.
After another half an hour, the display on the jade slip was close to twenty miles. My spiritual sense spread all the way to the dense forest on both sides of the riverbank, and I was never able to detect half a human figure. I felt weird.
I walked up to the bow of the boat and looked around. Then he applied mana and jumped more than ten feet high. I wanted to take the opportunity to see if I could see what was going on twenty miles ahead.
I didn't see it twenty miles away. But I saw something that frightened me. In the col on the right bank of the front there were dense soldiers, but none of them were merchants.
It only took me a few breaths to fall from the sky, but in those few breaths there were already soldiers out of the col and rushing to the water's edge. My jump was already startling, and they started the action early.
I landed in the bow of the boat. The entire hull shook violently and creaked with the tremendous force of my fall. I rushed into the cabin and shouted to the girls who had just fallen to the ground in the shaking, "Get out of the bilge!" ”
Before the words fell, arrows were already shooting like rain towards the dragon boat from all directions.
I hurriedly threw out the chaotic aya, instantly blocking all the windows in the rear cabin. The arrows shot from the window immediately pushed the red aya out of the pits.
Xiao Qian was the last to enter the bilge. "Nezha, be careful!"
"I know!" I replied, throwing the jade slip to her. "Tell the teacher, we're going to retreat."
On the narrow waterway, I couldn't turn the bow of the boat, so I could only steer the dragon boat backwards. However, the speed at which the dragon boat reverses is much slower than the speed at which it is forward. Seeing that dozens of people had already rushed onto the ice, I rushed to the bow of the boat, controlled the red silk around to prevent the rain of arrows, and threw out a circle with my other hand, knocking down the more than ten people who rushed to the front.
The golden circle is everywhere, and flesh and blood are flying. For the first time, I saw the power of the Qiankun Circle among mortals. However, without thinking too much about it, more people rushed onto the ice, and the ice rattled.
I manipulated the circle to smash into the ice, stirring up some flying debris. However, the ice only showed some cracks, and did not break.
I fought and retreated, and in a quarter of an hour I had retreated for miles. The people who were beaten by the Qiankun circle fell in two rows on the ice. Blood flowed from the ice into the water, and even the river was flushed reddish.
In a trance, something stopped in the direction of the stern of the boat. I turned my head and saw that it was a cruise ship that had no one in time and space, but at this time, someone was crossing and blocking the way. And the ship was full of samurai armed with swords.
As soon as I accelerated, the dragon boat crashed headlong into the middle of the boat, knocking it in two. The people on board fell into the icy water. But there were still two people who took the opportunity to jump on the dragon boat.
I flew to the top of the boat, flicked the red silk and tied them up, and threw them in the water. In the moment when I lost the protection of the red silk, more than a dozen arrows had already been shot at my body. Immediately, I felt a tingling pain all over my body.
I ducked back into the cabin. Several stone arrows fell from his body. They pierced my clothes, but there was no blood on the arrows. But the few arrows still stuck in the body may not be so lucky.
I ran through the cabin. Xiao Qian and a few people stood guard at the door of the bilge with swords. "Nezha, are you injured?"
I didn't look back, "Hold the entrance." If anyone comes in, come and kill one. ”
I ran to the rear hatch. Ahead was another cruise ship coming sideways. I did the same, and crashed into it. The boat collided in two, but the dragon boat stopped. Because after that ship there was a second, a third. Three or four people had already jumped onto the dragon boat.
I threw out the circle and knocked them all into the water. Immediately maneuver the dragon boat to stop going backwards, and drive forward in reverse, opening up the distance between it and several ships at once.
But the water was narrow, and the enemy had already swarmed above the ice, the nearest being less than a foot away from the hull. What to do?
I watched as the rattling ice jumped from the boat and landed in the crowd a few feet away, shattering the ice beneath my feet. Then he jumped in front of the dragon boat in a few steps and collapsed all the ice within a range of more than ten feet. Jumped to the other side of the dragon boat and did the same. For a time, hundreds of people around the hull of the ship all fell into the water. However, several people had already climbed aboard the boat at some unknown point.
I was about to return to the dragon boat when I caught a glimpse of a samurai wearing a tiger skin with a sword in hand on the river bank on the right. Is this their commander?
Capture the thief and capture the king first, I flew up with my mana and went straight to the commander who was a hundred feet away.
"General!"
The soldiers around the commander opened their bows and arrows. The commander shouted hoarsely: "Shoot me!" Shoot him! ”
I unleashed a chaotic aya to shield my face from the rain of arrows. Ten feet away from the commander, he threw the red silk out and wrapped around him at once.
In the rain of arrows, I picked up the commander. Get in front of you. Then he flew and jumped to the dragon boat.
"General!" There's a lot of chaos down there.
I wanted to capture the commander alive, but seeing that he had been hit by several arrows and was bleeding from his mouth and nose, it seemed that he would not survive. So he let go of Red Aya and threw him into the air.
The Commander's body slammed into the ice, spurting out a mouthful of blood, and the arrow from behind pierced his chest. The ice cracked.
"General!" By the time the surrounding soldiers rushed to him, the commander had already sunk into the water.
I jumped back into the bow of the ship and confronted the enemy forces a few feet away.
At this time, I was like a hedgehog. The chest, back, and limbs were full of arrows, and he was no longer aware of himself in many places. I don't know how heavy my injuries are. A life-and-death crisis loomed over me.
The opponent no longer shoots arrows. The soldiers who had not yet died in the water also stayed away from the dragon boat and climbed onto the ice one after another.
At this time, there was a sudden shout of killing on the shore on the left. Hearing this, the enemy soldiers began to retreat to the right bank.
A banner painted with a totem of Su grass flashes from the forest. A group of merchant soldiers rushed onto the ice. At the head was a young commander dressed in white.
In the face of the well-armed merchant army, the enemy was leaderless and had no intention of fighting, and soon turned into a rout.
I felt weak in my legs and unsteady on my feet. Turn and hold on to the hatch. Suddenly I caught a glimpse of the bilge doorway, where three girls stood with their swords in hand, covered in blood. At their feet, many enemy corpses and broken weapons were killed. It seems that although they have no actual combat experience, they have an advantage with the high-quality short swords that Ishiji gave them.
"Nezha, you!" They looked at me like a hedgehog and their eyes widened.
I looked down and saw that most of the arrows were falling. At the very least, it means that the degree of the arrow is not deep. I grabbed the shaft of an arrow on my left arm and pulled it out. caused the girl on the other side to scream.
There is no blood on the arrows! Then I pulled out all the arrows from my arms, legs, and chest. Included a few bronze arrowheads, none of which were bloody. There are also a few arrows in the back that can't reach. I simply ripped off all my tattered shirts. Sure enough, the arrows only pierced through the clothes.
Looking down, I was covered in bruises. The place where the bronze arrow shot was even more severe bruised. But none of them punctured the skin. It seems that my mana now is enough to withstand the fire of a normal bow and arrow. I didn't follow Mr. Shiji for so many days in vain.
Seeing that my injuries were not serious, the three girls slipped their short swords and sat down on the ground.
"Are you hurt?"
The three girls did not answer, but apparently all had injuries on their bodies.
I suddenly thought of Xiao Qian, "Xiao Qian! How is she? ”
"She's in the back cabin, and she and Swallow seem to be badly injured!"
"What?" My head buzzed.
At this moment, a crisp male voice came from outside the cabin. "Miss Nezha! Below is the son of Suhou, who was helped by Shi Ji's teacher. Can you see Miss? ”
"Su Gongzi!" When several girls heard Su Xinsheng's name, their eyes lit up. "I heard that Su Gongzi is handsome!"
These! I don't have the slightest interest in whether Su Gongzi is handsome or not. I only care about Xiaoqian's injuries now. What's more, now that I am a woman, how can I see people with my chest exposed?
"Wait, I'm not dressed!" I shouted, and then to a few girls, "You guys say hello to Su Gongzi, I'll go find Xiaoqian." ”
"Eh, Nezha!" A girl shouted, "How can we see Childe like this?" ”
"You can't keep people waiting!" I said, "It's better than me being naked!" This is the battlefield, not thinking about it so much. ”
I put on my rags and went straight to the back cabin, where I saw Xiaoqian and Yanzi lying on the bunks. Another girl sat next to Xiao Qian, holding her hand. There were more enemy corpses on the ground than in the front cabin.
I ran to Xiaoqian and couldn't help but gasp. An arrow was inserted straight into Xiao Qian's left chest. Her face was pale, her eyes flickered at me, but she couldn't say a word.
The girl shuddered and flashed to the side. I crouched in front of Xiao Qian, and saw the tail of the arrow inside through the torn clothes, it did not completely submerge into Xiao Qian's body, it should not hurt the internal organs.
"Go find the white cloth!" I said to the girl.
I gently unbuttoned Xiaoqian's shirt and lifted it slowly. Sure enough, the arrow was picked up by the clothes, and it was stained with half an inch of blood. Leave a hole in Xiaoqian's RF that is constantly bleeding.
Unfortunately, I don't know anything about wound management, and there are no good conditions for care these days. You can only use a white cloth to bandage Xiaoqian's wound first.
Her face gradually recovered, and it seemed that she had just been too frightened. She took my hand, "I heard that you got a lot of arrows on you, and it scared me to death." ”
"It's okay, I'm thick-skinned. Arrows can't shoot through. ”
"Bragging!"
At this time, I heard the faint cry of the swallow's breath, "Nezha! The voice was full of resentment.
"Go and help Yanzi," Xiao Qian urged, "She's hurt more than me!" ”
