Chapter 82: Strange People in the Rivers and Lakes
When Xiang Danian swore impassionedly, another Hengshan disciple fell from a height with a scream after being hit by gravel, and fell to the ground with a 'bang' like a sandbag.
Zhang Yang saw that the unlucky disciple was on the ground first, and his head cracked open like a watermelon, and blood was splashed everywhere, and he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
He agreed to Qu Feiyan to come here, mainly because he wanted to kill Fei Bin's main quest and complete the rescue of Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng by the way.
But he didn't expect this scene to be so dangerous!
If it weren't for the promise of Qu Feiyan earlier, and now Xiang Danian bowed his head so sensationally and admitted his mistake, Zhang Yang would probably have turned around and slipped away immediately. But since he's here, no matter how thick-skinned he is, he can't just turn around and leave!
"Huacha, it's at least 100 meters high, and if you don't pay attention, you will be hit by a stone and fall half to death, this is too dangerous...... It's better to find an excuse to slip away! "Zhang Yang is not a hero, and he has to take risks in this situation, unless he is funny.
But just as he was pondering, suddenly, most of the Hengshan disciples present, including Mi Weiyi just now, all knelt down, and exclaimed slightly unevenly: "Please Zhang Gongzi to rescue the master, if I can rescue the family teacher, I swear to the sky, from now on, I am willing to saddle the horse for the son, and follow the work of dogs and horses!" All those who are listed can be witnesses, and if they break this oath, heaven and earth will be destroyed......"
If it was a person kneeling, it would be enough, seeing dozens of people kneeling down in the dark, Zhang Yang immediately felt an inexplicable pressure coming.
The originally noisy scene suddenly fell silent, and even a team of officers and soldiers who were helping on the side couldn't help but look at Zhang Yang.
In the face of the eyes of hundreds of people, if he still said anything, I am afraid that he would immediately be ridiculed to death by so many eyes.
Zhang Yang's face was so hot that he had to secretly decide in his heart: "Promise them first, wait for the halfway climb, and then find an excuse to come down!" ”
"Heroes, please get up, it is the responsibility of my generation to help the needy, even if you don't say it, I will do my best. Today, thanks to everyone's affirmation of Zhang, it would be hypocritical for Zhang to refuse. It's just that Zhang said the ugly words in front, if Zhang can't rescue the commander, please forgive me. The meaning of Zhang Yang's words is actually very simple, just to pave the way for the escape of the meeting.
"Shaoxia is too worried, as long as Shaoxia does his best, our Liu Mansion is grateful. Although the young man is relieved to go, I have borrowed a three-bow bed crossbow from the government, this crossbow can be shot on the mountainside, but because there are only twenty arrows allocated, it can only be used as an aid for climbing the wall. When the young man is about to board, I will let these people use crossbow arrows to cover you. Mi Weiyi hurriedly said.
Three-bow bed crossbow?
Zhang Yang turned his head, and sure enough, he saw a column of officers and soldiers clustered around a large crossbow about two meters long, and he couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
It's just because he happens to know something about this equipment called the three-bow bed crossbow. This crossbow is also known as the "Eight Bull Crossbow", the arrow is made of hard wood as the shaft, and the iron piece is the feather, the range is extremely long, and a good bed crossbow can even be shot to a distance of thousands of meters.
This crossbow can also fire 'tread arrows', which can be fired directly into the city wall at close range, and when fired in a volley, rows of tread arrows are firmly nailed into the city wall, and the siege soldiers can use this to climb up. This thing is a necessary weapon for attacking the city!
"Okay, since there are these three bows and crossbows to help, Zhang won't say more, I'll give it a try." After Zhang Yang finished speaking, he pretended to be heroic and walked towards the cliff where the rubble kept rolling down.
It was impossible to climb the cliff with bare hands because of the constant falling stones, and everyone who climbed up had to hold a simple wooden plank to resist.
Zhang Yang looked at the iron shield in his hand that was about half a meter in diameter that was given to him by a Hengshan disciple, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. However, when I saw some disciples rushing up with a cutting board in their hands, I felt a lot better.
In front of him was a rock wall that seemed to have been cut by a giant blade, about seventy or eighty degrees, and most of the area was extremely smooth, with few raised rocks.
Only in the center of the place, there is a two-zhang wide pit that can be climbed.
It is said that this road was left by some hunters who went up the mountain to collect medicine, and because there were few people walking, it was extremely rugged and difficult to walk.
He looked up and saw that there were still more than a dozen people struggling to move forward on this similar climbing route, and the people who climbed at the front had just reached the middle of the mountainside.
However, the bravest disciple had obviously become the target of the Songshan faction's attack, and some broken wood and earth and stones were all beckoned to him, and this disciple could only support himself in place, and could not move forward half a step.
"Hey!"
After roughly seeing the situation, Zhang Yang let out a low shout, and immediately rose to the ground, and a few ups and downs swished and climbed to a height of four or five zhang.
The reason why it went so smoothly was that the gravel above was basically blocked by the person in front of him when he was in a low position.
And although these cliffs are difficult for ordinary people to walk, for Zhang Yang, a top master of light skills, they are not much different from walking on flat ground.
After he had gone up like a flea for five or six feet, he heard a loud sound of bells, and his arm holding the shield was slightly numb, and finally he was attacked by the first piece of rubble.
has only been on such a small distance, of course Zhang Yang can't retreat. He gritted his teeth, and immediately climbed up to the left and right nimbly. Although this speed is not as chic and neat as just now, it is still much stronger than ordinary disciples.
Halfway through, he encountered a few pieces of rubble and smashed on the shield, but his wrist was slightly numb, and he easily blocked it.
Now that he has the Golden Bell Shield, his ability to resist blows seems to have improved a lot, and some head-sized gravel fell from a height, which only made his arm slightly numb. If it were an ordinary disciple, I am afraid that he would have been smashed down a long time ago.
He climbed very fast, overtaking some of the ordinary disciples one after another, and during this time, three more disciples fell screaming.
"After climbing to the middle and overtaking the top disciple, I pretended to climb up five or six zhang, and then retreated on the grounds that there was too much gravel on it. When the time comes, these people should have nothing to gossip about, right? As the rubble became more and more dense, Zhang Yang began to plan how to retreat.
If he hadn't agreed to Qu Feiyan a long time ago, and was forced to kneel on the ground by forty or fifty people to ask for his life, he wouldn't have had the time to take this risk.
Compared with small lives, those whose reputation benefits are just floating clouds!
After seeing Zhang Yang start to climb the mountain wall, Mi Weiyi took the two of them towards an official sedan chair parked twenty zhang away.
The curtain of this official sedan chair has been opened, and there is an old man with a gray beard and a slightly convex belly sitting inside, who is the Lord of Hengshan County who read the holy decree to Liu Zhengfeng at the golden basin hand-washing ceremony.
"We have found a master who is climbing the cliff, please ask Master Zhang to borrow a token. After the man is halfway up the mountain, he can use a bow and crossbow to facilitate his climb the cliff and rescue his master. Mi Weiyi bowed down and said to the county.
"Take it!" Master Zhang waved his hand, and a soldier next to him handed a palm-sized token to Mi Weiyi.
Mi Weiyi made another move, turned around and walked away quickly.
After he left, a civil official with a mustache next to Master Zhang said, "My lord, you just lent him the three-bow bed crossbow so easily?" You know, this is a city defense device, even if you only use a crossbow arrow, you have to report it to the top. ”
"This Liu Zhengfeng is a general appointed by the emperor himself, and he usually respects me a lot, if he doesn't save him when he dies, this can't be said." Master Zhang said with a deep groan.
"According to the villain's opinion, even with the help of this crossbow, it will be difficult for them to save Liu Zhengfeng." Bazi Hu said with his beard stroked.
"It's not just as difficult as climbing to the sky, it's simply impossible!" Master Zhang laughed.
"Why do you say that?" The mustache was stunned and couldn't help but be quite puzzled.
"How high is that mountainside from the ground?" Master Zhang asked suddenly.
"About forty feet." Bazihu said after measuring the distance.
"How high are our walls?" Master Zhang asked again.
"The short ones are about two or three zhang, and the tall ones are about five or six zhang." Bazihu replied honestly.
"This cliff is more than seven or eight times the size of the city wall, and there are dozens of guards on it, unless it is ten times the number of troops, and the equipment is excellent, it is possible to attack it. Hmph, if a master wants to climb the cliff, it's a fool's dream! Master Zhang said sarcastically.
"My lord! This group of fierce men is really stupid! The mustache patted the sycophants at the right time and said. In fact, he had already seen the truth on the stage, but he just pretended not to know, just because he had long known that in order to survive in officialdom, he had to learn to pretend to be a pig first.
When the two were discussing, they heard a soldier next to them say in surprise: "Huh? Look, the man on the cliff jumped so fast, it was almost like a gecko, and he jumped four or five feet in a few ups and downs. ”
"Yes! It's amazing, is he still human? How to jump so fast. Another soldier immediately chimed in.
When Master Zhang and Bazihu were still disdainfully discussing how stupid the fierce man of the rivers and lakes was, after hearing the conversation between the two at first glance, they couldn't help but look at the cliff illuminated by the firelight.
"Huh? There is really someone climbing the mountain wall, and the speed is indeed quite fast......" The eight-character beard just said the word 'quite fast', but he was actually shocked fiercely.
He saw that the man was really as agile as a gecko or a flea, and the speed of climbing on the cliffs was simply incomparable.
Although he usually listens to some storytellers telling stories about the rivers and lakes, he has never taken it seriously, and now when he sees such skills, he is immediately shocked!
Seeing that the man was actually climbing up in the rain of gravel, moving forward completely as if he were walking on the ground, Master Zhang was also so shocked that he couldn't speak, and sighed for a long time: "The strange people on the rivers and lakes are really powerful!"
