Chapter 68: Attacked
Fu Lin didn't know that at this time, Sizhen was no longer in the palace. [Full text reading. 】
Hearing that Sun Yanling was going to the land of Yungui to crusade against the remnants of the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and when someone found her brother Kong Tingxun there, Sizhen left a letter, and after pleading with the Queen Mother, she secretly took Mama Qin and Thrush out of the palace.
The strength of the others was too low, and they were all left in the palace.
Sun Yanling led the team on horseback, and Sizhen, Mama Qin, and Thrush were arranged by him to sit in the car.
Before Sizhen could open her mouth to object, Sun Yanling said with a heartfelt voice: "You are a female dependent, if you show up, it will be too ostentatious and unsafe, this car is customized by me, you can sit with peace of mind, and when you get to the Yungui area, when you ride a horse." ”
He also specially instructed Mama Qin: "On this way, I'm afraid that it will not be safe, and Mama Lao will persuade you to be a little different." ”
Sizhen disagreed, the capital is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, what danger can there be?
As a result, they went out of the capital, traveled less than ten miles, the sky was getting dark, they were about to rush for a while, so they found an inn to rest, and suddenly an arrow fell from the sky, the force was great, the carriage was rushed by the strength of the arrow, and shook backwards, and then the carriage suddenly warmed up and became hot.
"There is fire on the arrow!"
Mama Qin's figure stepped back and hit the carriage, Sizhen then hit her chin, hurriedly held the beam with one hand, and exclaimed in a low voice after a while, "That arrow is poured with pine oil, there is fire!" ”
"Don't be afraid, General Xiao Sun, they have already prepared, outside this carriage, it is drenched with water every day, wet wood, it is difficult to light it." Mama Qin pretended to be calm and comforted Sizhen.
Mama Qin's family is in the army, and she will also have a lot of fists and feet, and she has seen women from different inner houses, so at the moment of life and death two years ago, the king and wife of Dingnan would be willing to entrust their daughter to her.
She is not only Sizhen's nurse, but also the enlightenment master of Sizhen's martial arts.
At this moment, seeing the menacing arrows, although Mama Qin was up and down in her heart, she still calmed down and appeased Sizhen.
The carriage drove out of the carriage for another half mile.
Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, they heard two "whirring" sounds, and two more rockets were hit in the carriage!
I saw that the green cloth curtain on the carriage window had been picked up by arrows, although it was a wet cloth, it would be difficult to ignite for a while and a half, but the smell of smoke choked my mouth and nose.
Sizhen was close to the curtain, gritted her teeth, and with all her strength, she tore the curtain and threw it outside the carriage.
Even if she was so fast, her white and tender little hands were blistered by the scorching wet curtain, and she was so distressed that Mama Qin and Thrush raised her hands and blew a cool breeze vigorously.
After the curtain was torn off, you could see the firelight in the lonely night, Mama Qin counted it in her heart, and was slightly relieved: there were not many people on the other side, obviously, they didn't come prepared in advance.
I'm afraid that someone in the village leaked the news, and these nearby allies rushed to arrest them, so the number is not too large.
Other than that, no other sound could be heard, as if on the path, only their carriage was facing the Ming army.
"What about Sun Shenling? What about the guards? ”
Sizhen didn't know what she was worried about, and for a while, her face was frighteningly white, and she immediately turned her head to look at Mama Qin as if she was rescued.
Without waiting for Mama Qin to answer, she saw that the sparkling light went out a lot in an instant.
"Rich, they've got it." A voice said with a little surprise: "The carriage target is too big, we have to rush to the forest next to it to avoid it first!" ”
It was Sun Yanling who chased after slashing and killing several opponents.
Sizhen's heart was relieved, listening to Sun Yanling's tone, it should be that he saw that the situation was wrong, so he arranged for Fugui to ambush those who were chasing them from behind, obviously, this trick worked successfully.
Along the way, Si Zhen also learned that don't look at Sun Yanling's hanging on weekdays, compared to his father, General Sun Long, he has the potential of being better than the blue, and his martial arts are very strong.
The coachman raised his whip at the command, and the horse picked up again, and just as he was approaching the woods, an arrow followed him, like maggots attached to the bones, struck him.
The coachman's body was crooked and he fell out of the cart.
When the fetters were lost, the horses pulling the cart were out of order and ran wildly.
In the carriage, for a while, it was like a boat in a stormy sea, bumping and bumping, and it was about to overturn.
In the carriage, Sizhen, Mama Qin, and Thrush pulled the beams tightly, trying to stabilize their bodies, but the carriage was bumpy, and they couldn't stand still, they were like gourds rolling on the ground, throwing them to the east and west, and bumping into the wall of the carriage from time to time.
Mama Qin gritted her teeth, "Gege hurry up, the old slave goes out to drive." ”
Before Mama Qin could lift the curtain and go out, a figure in a green cloth shirt jumped up from behind and grabbed the reins of the horse.
The horse was strangled by this, and gradually stabilized, and walked according to the route.
Sizhen looked out from the front curtain, it was Sun Yanling's back, and his heart relaxed.
Her heart warmed, and she called softly: "General Sun......"
Sun Yanling held the reins of the horse, although she heard Sizhen's voice, she didn't look back, but just whispered: "Daughter-in-law, don't be afraid, I'm here!" ”
The words are frivolous, but the back is very serious and heroic!
Sizhen felt ashamed, on weekdays, she didn't practice martial arts, and she didn't let women shave her eyebrows, at this critical time, she had no actual combat experience, but she was far worse than Sun Yanling, who had fought a hundred battles.
Sun Yanling can be a groom, and she can't show weakness!
Sizhen straightened her back, broke free from Mama Qin's arms, who was protecting her figure, dragged the quilt in the carriage, lifted the curtain, and surrounded Sun Yanling's body.
Although there are arrows shooting at you, this quilt may not be able to do anything, but it is better than not resisting at all.
Without waiting for Sizhen to do anything more, Mama Qin pulled her back into the car and motioned for her and Thrush to lie flat on the carriage board.
"Gege get down quickly, if there are arrows coming from the side again, let's sit, it's an arrow target!"
As soon as Mama Qin's words fell, she heard the sound of horses' hooves kicking outside the window, and within half a moment, she heard Fugui shouting, "They don't have many people, brothers hold on!" ”
Sure enough, the arrows shot became more and more sporadic, and occasionally a few were shot over, but they were all pushed away by the rich and the guards with arrows, and the carriage finally drove into the forest, but the further inside, the denser the forest became, and the carriage gradually became difficult to move an inch.
Sun Yanling jumped out of the carriage, "Daughter-in-law, this forest is too dense for the car to pass, I think we have to ride a horse." ”
Fugui, who was following the car, jumped off the horse, "The young master is right, you can ride a horse faster." Ronghua them, I don't know how long they can stop those people, in case reinforcements come again, it will be troublesome. ”
Because they wanted to go to the vicinity of Yungui and mobilize local troops, they traveled this time, but the more than 100 soldiers under Sun Yanling's jurisdiction were not enough.
There are relatively few dangers here, and Sun Yanling is followed only by Fugui and ten other guards.
Before entering the dense forest, Sun Yanling arranged for Fugui to take the eight guards to stay behind, and he and the two guards escorted Sizhen and them first.
Although the other party is already short of manpower, it should not be ignored, and if it drags on, I am afraid that it will sit and wait to die.
It was necessary to hurry to the next stronghold and join up with Ronghua and their ambushing team.
As he spoke, Sun Yanling had already untied the reins of the carriage, and the load-bearing horse could not run fast.
Mama Qin also put the softness on the carriage, tied some to herself, Sizhen, and Thrush, and she also wrapped a cloak around Sizhen, although it was already the third month of the lunar calendar, but such a cold and warm weather has been blown by the night wind, which is not comfortable.
"But here, there are only two horses, there are six of us, how can we ride?" Sizhen was a little worried: I can't let those two guards let the horses give them!
Sun Yanling whistled, and saw a black horse and a red horse come out of the forest.
It was the phantom of the chasing wind and the four chastities that he often ridden.
"You and I ride chasing the wind, Mama and Thrush ride the phantom, the two of them, ride those two."
As he spoke, Sun Yanling was about to reach out and put Sizhen on the horse.
Sizhen opened his hand: "I'll ride it myself." ”
Sun Yanling said seriously: "You give me the math, if you ride alone, how can you have enough horses?" Their horses are already weak in foot strength, and if they take two people, they can't run fast at all. ”
Mama Qin listened to what Sun Yanling said, and nodded approvingly, "Yes, General Sun and Gege are light, chasing the wind and carrying you, so they can run faster." Gege, you just listen to General Sun's arrangement, you go first, I and Thrush follow behind, and the two guards will answer each other. ”
Sun Yanling explained to Fugui, "Wait a while, you will go out of the forest and go west, and before that, I will ask someone to go to Shahe Town to bring a letter to Jin Toutou and ask them to answer." I guess they're almost there, and we're talking about meeting at the west end of the woods. ”
The trees in the forest are dense with dense branches, and the arrows are useless, Sun Yanling and they rode out from the side path, and there is a rich and noble queen here, so that those who are pursuing have escaped Ronghua's ambush and entered the forest, and it is too late.
Galloping wildly, blown by the night wind, Sizhen suddenly thought: If those people were aiming at her and Sun Yanling's identity, they would definitely not be the only ones who came.
Why were they so light enough to escape each other's ambushes?
What she could think of, Sun Yanling and they naturally thought of it, so Fugui would leave a broken queen......
She remembered that when she drove into the forest, there was still fire not far from the forest, so Sun Yanling chose to go through the dense forest to avoid those people, leaving Fugui at the entrance of the forest belt to kill the people who were chasing them.
Obviously, Sun Yanling knew that the other party still had a backhand and reinforcements......
He didn't make it clear just now, and he wanted to ride the same horse with her, because he was afraid that she would worry.
She thought he was Meng Lang and wanted to take the opportunity to get close to her.
The top priority is to get out of the forest and join those people in Shahe Town.
Thinking of this, Sizhen only felt a chill on her back, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and her palm clenched the reins of the horse that Sun Yanling stuffed into her.
