Chapter 222, mistakenly hit the auxiliary car
The spring breeze is slow, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the Bolangsha on the south bank of Deshui is a sea of sand, deserted and uninhabited.
Thirty-six carriages lined up in a long line, with cavalry guards in front to open the way, guards from the Imperial Forest Army on both sides, and infantry following behind.
This is the safest place for the First Emperor's eastward tour, because it is flat and can be seen from a mile away, and the Assassins will be spotted before they can get close, and there is nowhere to hide, let alone any ambush.
Since Yingzheng was born, he himself has lost count of the number of assassinations, which has made his guards have strict precautions, and they have never relaxed their vigilance, and the four imperial guards follow by the carriage, seemingly a little tired, because they also feel that this section of the road is safe.
Wang Ben did not accompany him on the Eastern Tour, since the Lishan incident three years ago, he was sick and ill, and he was often absent from the court meeting, and the guards were in charge of Ren Huan and Zhao Tuo, and Meng Yi commanded the Imperial Forest Army, Li Si, Wei Yi and others were naturally indispensable, and the Xiandao Academy only sent two people to escort them, Dao Xuan and Ruogu.
In three years, it is easy to forget a person, no matter how glorious his history is, he may still regret it at first, and then he can only remember it when he needs to.
Zhao Gao not only writes a good hand, but also has skilled driving skills, even on the rugged road, the carriage he drives is not bumpy, won the approval of Ying Zheng, became the closest to Ying Zheng, he is now the CRRC government order, to assist Li Si in revising the law, supervising scientific research, since meeting that person, his life has undergone earth-shaking changes, in and out of Xianyang Palace unimpeded, become a man with self-esteem and status, he even wonders if all this in front of him is in a dream, once he wakes up, he is still the humble eunuch.
Blue sky and white clouds, the fragrance of Chen Zhen grass blowing on the bank of the river in the distance, that person was stabbed to death by the head of Emei three years ago, and fell into the cliff, even the body was shattered, and he couldn't find it, he didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing for himself, but that made him respect, not because of that person's deeds, but what that person once said to him, "Everyone needs to be respected when they live, and they are equal,......"
In the spring, the wind is very strong, especially in this place of Bolangsha, there is often a sudden sandstorm, which comes and goes quickly, and the spring breeze is warm before, and the sandstorm comes.
The sky was full of yellow sand, covering the sun and the sky, and it was impossible to see within a few feet, the sound of drums stopped, and in its place was the horse whistle, the whole team could not sneak, and stopped in place, and the soldiers leaned over to cover their mouths and noses, closed their eyes, and prevented from inhaling the sand and dust, lost their eyes, and waited for the sandstorm to stop.
'Huh' didn't know where to fly a black iron ball, whistling towards the carriage guarded by the four imperial guards, which naturally couldn't escape the ears and eyes of the four imperial guards and Dao Xuan and others, but this black ball was the size of a grinding plate, and its momentum was so powerful that no one could stop it, only to avoid it, and the iron ball hit the carriage with a '......click' iron ball, and the sawdust flew sideways, smashing the carriage to pieces, and the people in the carriage were smashed into mud.
"There are assassins, escort quickly!" the red pupil was the first to shout, and the other three imperial guards, without looking at the people who had been stoned to death in the carriage, swept towards the carriage driven by Zhao Gao.
'Bang!' The iron ball emitted a blinding glow and exploded, sending dust and sand flying in all directions, flying four wagons around and knocking down hundreds of cavalry.
Before the panicked crowd knew the reason, the 'sand ......' centered on the explosion, and the sand suddenly collapsed to a depth of more than ten zhang, forming a huge funnel, which quickly expanded to all sides, "It's quicksand, get out of the way!" The people and horses who didn't have time to dodge were swept into the sand pit, struggled several times, and were instantly submerged by the quicksand.
Zhao Gao was worthy of the order of the CRRC government, and drove the carriage out suddenly, quickly escaping from the expanding quicksand, "Teng...... Teng ......" Four figures rose into the sky in the sand in front of the carriage, and four cold sword lights stabbed towards the carriage, Zhao Gao was already frightened, and subconsciously pulled the carriage, and the carriage was thrown over.
There was a sonorous sound, and the four sword lights were intercepted by the four imperial guards who arrived, the sandstorm stopped, the quicksand was not expanding, and the four assassins appeared, all masked, dressed in black, one with white hair and one with red hair, gathered around the carriage, fighting with the four imperial guards.
Seeing that the swordsmanship of the four people came from one faction, Dao Xuan shouted loudly: "The masters of the four should be the turbidity world!"
The four of them were stunned when they heard this, but no one answered, and Dao Xuan said again: "Since you don't admit it, Poor Dao will carry your head and ask!" Swinging his sword, he stabbed the white-haired masked man with the highest realm among the four, forcing the white-haired man to retreat, and it was difficult to get close to the carriage again.
The recovered cavalry shouted, surrounding the four Assassins.
"The mission has failed, retreat!" Looking for prestige, I saw four people on the bank of the river in the distance, and there was a three-zhang high trebuchet in front of him, which must have been erected during the sandstorm, and a burly man had already put the big iron ball and was about to aim at the carriage driven by Zhao Gao.
Ruo Gu was fast, flew out a golden rune, and flew towards the big man like lightning, the big man saw the golden rune flying, and let go in a hurry, the direction of the iron ball was deviated, and it didn't fly far before it landed and exploded.
"Ballista ready!" Meng Yi dispatched ten ballista and pointed the arrows at the four people on the river bank.
The red-haired assassin shook the wind and shouted, "Retreat quickly, I can die here today, and I can die a well-deserved death!" As soon as the voice fell, the wind swung his sword and stabbed, the red-haired assassin did not dodge, but swept towards the wind with a sword, if the wind did not resist, although he could kill the red-haired assassin, but he would inevitably die, although his sword was fast, but his life was more important than anything else, and hurriedly returned to the sword to block, that had thought, the red-haired assassin turned his sword and stabbed to the carriage, and it was too late for the wind to stop it.
Seeing that he was about to pierce into the carriage, between the lightning and flint, there was a sword roar in the carriage, the long sword stabbed out, the swords collided, sparks were struck, and the sword qi swung away, the red-haired assassin did not expect that such a strong sword could be stabbed in the carriage, and he was shocked, at this time, the sword of the wind also arrived, stabbing the red-haired assassin under the ribs, and the sword rayed out from the other side.
The red-haired assassin looked up to the sky and spurted out a mouthful of blood, and before the sword of the wind could be drawn, he used his last strength to throw the long sword in his hand and stabbed it into the carriage, with a 'bang', the thrown sword was blocked by the sword in the carriage, Ying Zheng jumped out with a long sword in his hand, and cut off the red-haired assassin's head with a sword, his face was full of anger, and he shouted: "Break these assassins into ten thousand pieces!"
Someone on the bank of the river shouted in grief: "Brother Yi!"
This red-haired assassin is Yi Shuihan, and the person who called him is Zhang Liang, in order to assassinate Ying Zheng, they secretly explored Ying Zheng's eastern tour route, repeatedly studied, carefully designed, and finally chose here, laid down this quicksand formation, with the 'explosive meteor', I thought that Ying Zheng would definitely die, but I didn't expect that Ying Zheng actually changed the car and did not sit in the carriage guarded by the four imperial guards, causing them to mistakenly hit the auxiliary car and fall short.
In the blink of an eye, only the white-haired Yin Lingchong of the four assassins remained, and they had been besieged by Dao Xuan and others, and in danger, Guo Zijing's blood surged, and he rushed to the crown in anger, and actually picked up the last 'explosive meteor' and rushed towards Yingzheng.
Zhang Liang cried and shouted: "Zijing come back quickly!" wanted to rush forward to stop him, but was stopped by Fan Hao and Peng Yue.
"Shoot the arrows!" Meng Yi gave an order, and ten ballistas shot out thousands of arrows, like dense rain, shooting towards the four people on the shore.
'Puff ......' Guo Zijing was hit by more than a dozen arrows in his hands and feet, fell to his knees, and the 'Explosive Meteor' rolled out, and then dozens of arrows in his body fell to the sky like a hedgehog, and died of exhaustion, and the 'Explosive Meteor' rolled more than ten feet away, exploded, and knocked down dozens of cavalry.
Yin Lingchong was outnumbered, failed to break through, and was stabbed to death in the back by Qing Yu's sword.
Zhang Liang and the three of them brandished their weapons to resist the arrows that were shot at them, and they were hit by several arrows, but fortunately they were not fatal, seeing that the general trend had gone, they were in tears, and they clenched their bites at all, and fled to Deshui, Dao Xuan and Ren Huan rushed to chase after them with cavalry.
There is a fast boat hidden in the reeds on the bank of the river, there are two big men on the boat to answer, Zhang Liang and the three jumped on the boat, the two big men struggled to row into the river, the cavalry chased to the shore, and shot arrows at the boat, Zhang Liang and the three picked up their shields to resist, quickly escaped from the range of the arrows, and sailed towards the river rapids.
Dao Xuan shouted, "Stop releasing arrows!" Carrying the sword and flying up, stepping on the water with both feet, like a dragonfly touching the water, swept towards the clipper, a few ups and downs came to the clipper, waved with one palm, and made two 'swing in the air', 'pop' two explosions, two big men were hit in the back, screamed twice, and fell into the water.
Fan Hao and Peng Yue saw Dao Xuan rushing over, picked up the spear and stabbed at Dao Xuan, Dao Xuan's long sword flashed a white light, swept the spear off, turned over, and the crane fell to the stern.
Fan Hao and Peng Yue picked up the big knife, one left and one right to Dao Xuan, Dao Xuan snorted coldly, the long sword showed off the sword flower and knocked the big knife in the hands of the two people away, the two fell to the bow of the boat, the bones of the entire arm were broken, and they could no longer hold the weapon, at this time the boat had gone down the rapids, quickly throwing off the cavalry on the river bank.
Zhang Liang saw that his good brothers were dying one by one, and he could not escape, he looked up to the sky and sighed, "The great hatred is not snowing, and the ovary is ashamed of the ancestors and ancestors!"
'......Whoosh' a one-zhang long half-moon sword light flew against the surface of the river, as fast as lightning, sweeping towards Dao Xuan, who was about to step forward, Dao Xuan saw that this sword light was coming quickly, and did not dare to take it hard, so he hurriedly flew up, dodged the sword light, and fell to the water, 'click', and the raised wooden plank at the stern of the ship was flattened by the sword qi, which shows how sharp this sword qi is.
Dao Xuan's feet were full of energy, staggering on the water surface of the rapids, turning his head to look, only to see that a tent boat suddenly appeared in the river, and there was a person lying on his back facing the sky on the canopy, wearing a black Taoist robe, a hat to cover his face, and a Erlang leg crossed, and another person at the bow of the boat was also wearing a black Taoist robe, wearing a hat, leaning out of the bow of half of the body, facing the water, opening his big mouth, as if waiting for the fish to take the initiative to jump into his mouth, the boat was not driven, but it was very stable, as if moored in a calm lake, but the speed of the boat was extremely fast, and in a blink of an eye came to Dao Xuanใ
Dao Xuan shouted, "Who is the Dao sect that dares to stop the poor Dao from chasing and killing the assassins?"
