Chapter 51: Calculation
Seeing that Tiangu was about to break into the city, a sneer appeared on the corner of Qin Sixteen's mouth, and he immediately rode his horse and whipped and ran towards the direction of the city gate.
Qin Sixteen's sudden departure really frightened everyone on the Cheng family's caravan, especially when they saw Qin Sixteen running in the direction of the city gate, everyone's hearts were in their throats.
Although everyone didn't believe that Tiangu had the ability to "take the enemy's head among all the armies", they also had to admit that the reason why they now had time to gather scattered gangs and sort out the goods and get back on the road was thanks to Tiangu alone in containing the defenders.
If Qin Sixteen rescued Tiangu now, it would be the turn of the entire caravan to face the pressure of the Ruize defenders, and once the defenders rushed towards the caravan, not to mention the people of the Dark Key Pavilion, the group of people in the Ma Gang would definitely throw down the goods and run away as soon as possible.
Liang Guli also put down the work in his hand at this time, squinting his eyes and staring at Qin Sixteen's back motionlessly, if Qin Sixteen really led the defenders over, he could also take advantage of the situation to escape.
For Liang Guli, being chased and killed by the defenders of a city was safer than following Qin Sixteen's group on the road. The defenders are killed, and there are so many people in the caravan that there are always people who can escape. But if Qin Sixteen wanted his life, he would have no chance of surviving at all.
The distance between the Cheng family's caravan and the city gate was not far away, and the defenders under the city and those who were fighting hard were naturally noticing Qin Sixteen's approach.
The defenders had the same idea, the caravan that attacked and killed the soldiers at the checkpoint suddenly separated into another person, and it must have been to rescue Tiangu, who was in a bitter battle. As a result, in the arrow tower on the city wall, many arrows were also released one after another, attacking Qin Sixteen.
Unlike everyone else's thoughts, Tiangu's face sank, and the alarm bell was already ringing in his heart. This Qin Sixteen is running towards him at this moment, what kind of heart is he at?
In the face of the sporadic arrow feathers shot from the arrow tower, Qin Sixteen didn't even bother to pull out his sword, and attached a wisp of blood to his arm, and after sweeping away some nearby arrows, he made a move that surprised everyone.
I saw that Qin Sixteen reined in his horse, swept away the arrows above, and rode back and retreated. After retreating to a safe distance and no more arrows could be fired, he stopped and looked in the direction of the city gate again.
In the eyes of outsiders, Qin Sixteen was like going to rescue his trapped companions, but he couldn't withstand the dense arrows on the arrow tower, so he was forced to retreat.
Qin Sixteen's retreat relieved everyone, including Tiangu himself, who should have been "rescued", but his next sentence pushed Tiangu into the abyss again.
"Tiangu, take Yan Kang's dog head and come back safely, my lord, I will definitely be rewarded!" Qin Sixteen stood still and shouted a rather shocking sentence.
After saying what he had to say, Qin Sixteen leisurely rode back to the caravan, the gang had almost gathered, and was about to return to the road.
After listening to Qin Sixteen's shout, Tiangu's face instantly became extremely gloomy, Qin Sixteen's murderous and heart-killing trick was indeed very slippery. In public, he said that his mission target was Yan Kang, the deputy commander of the defenders, so that as long as he was not dead, Yan Kang would never have the energy to send troops to pursue the caravan.
Moreover, the timing of Qin Sixteen's shouting was just right, almost at the same time that Tiangu had already broken into the city, there were not many soldiers outside the city, and the reason why Tiangu did not dare to flee outside the city was because Qin Sixteen was eyeing him from behind.
And once Tiangu broke into the city, the soldiers in the city quickly surrounded the gap at the city gate to prevent the enemy from escaping, and Tiangu also lost the opportunity to get out of the city. Qin Sixteen shouted out that Tiangu's target was Yan Kang at this time, and at the same time, he cut off the back road of Tiangu and Yan Kang.
Tiangu's first goal after entering the city must be to get out of the battle, once he gets rid of the pursuit of the defenders, he has his own way to hide quickly. But Yan Kang is different, he knows what he has done, this time he kicked the iron plate, and the other party threatened to retaliate, but he couldn't help it.
But the key thing is that the assassin sent by the other party actually broke through the encirclement of his own army and killed many people. Although there are also reasons for the hasty assembly and incomplete siege, an assassin with such skills is hiding in the city and wants his life all the time, and he Yan Kang absolutely can't stand it.
Therefore, Yan Kang will definitely do his best to search and encircle Tiangu. In this way, Qin Sixteen and his caravan would also have enough time to leave the boundaries of Ruize City.
"Pavilion Master...... No, sir, it's all ready. Cheng Ziyi walked to Qin Sixteen's side, bowed, and said respectfully, he had participated in the whole process of slaughtering the Tongzhou City Lord's Mansion, and he had already understood everything in his heart.
When he was in Tongzhou City, in order to deal with Kong Ji, the Dark Key Pavilion investigated the information of the defenders of the city, and also bought some low-level soldiers to provide them with information.
The city defenders usually have two or three deputy commanders, and in order to disperse power, the city lord arranges deputy commanders who are basically people who are not very compatible with the commander, and the big tents are also set up in different places. Since the garrison tent inside the east city gate belonged to Yan Kang, the rest of the commanders were naturally not nearby.
And Yan Kang is now facing a life-and-death crisis, even if the rest of the commanders hear the news and want to divide their troops to pursue Qin Sixteen's caravan, Yan Kang will definitely fight to the death, he must concentrate the forces of the whole city to hunt down Tiangu, otherwise he won't even be able to sleep.
In Cheng Ziyi's opinion, Qin Sixteen's arrangement was simply seamless. Tiangu made a move without authorization, so he was punished, and the people below would not have an opinion. Qin Sixteen's punishment to Tiangu was to send him to death, but Tiangu's death could save the entire caravan, and it was impossible to find fault with it. Such means, such scheming, is simply appalling!
Although Tiangu's unauthorized action was also for the sake of the caravan, and there was no other better way to deal with the situation at that time, but the matter has come to this point, who would bother with what has already happened?
Not caring about Cheng Ziyi's more and more humble attitude, Qin Sixteen glanced around at the caravan's outfit and said lightly: "Then let's go, inform Liang Guli, let them not rest tonight, we will travel overnight until we leave the realm of Ruize!"
"Yes. Cheng Ziyi bowed the whole time and said respectfully. There was such a battle, it was certain that they would rush overnight, and the five ingots of gold they promised to the gang were not in vain, and Liang Guli didn't dare not cooperate.
"Oh, that's right," as if remembering something, Qin Sixteen stopped Cheng Ziyi, who was about to leave, and said slowly, "If Tiangu comes back, let him come to see me." ”
Cheng Ziyi was a little speechless, even if he could survive this day, how could he come to you, the fierce god, again. Although he was slandered in his heart, Cheng Ziyi's face remained unchanged, and he responded in a low voice: "Okay, master!"
