Chapter 80: The Mystery of the Black Bamboo Ditch 8
Judging from their attire, these troops are very similar to the Sichuan Army, and they should have been temporarily included in Wei Hengfu's 51st Division of Urban Defense during the Battle of Nanjing, but why did the images of these people appear here?
"Chengzi, do you remember that during the Battle of Nanjing, you lost a Sichuan army unit in the mountains of Zanglong Mountain?" Zheng Tian interrupted my thoughts and continued to ask.
When Zheng Tian asked me this, I seemed to suddenly realize something: "You mean that this army crossed from the abyss of Zanglong Mountain to the abyss in front of us?" ”
"I didn't say that, I think the position we are in now is exactly the Sichuan-Shu realm, maybe this Sichuan army has returned to its hometown back then." Zheng Tian replied.
"Why can't I understand what you're saying?" Ai Lanlin listened to the conversation between me and Zheng Tian, and said with a puzzled face.
I thought to myself, if I don't understand, who made you look cold all day long? So he made a fool of himself and said, "This is a lie from seventy years ago. ”
Speaking of this, an idea suddenly flashed in my mind, if this Sichuan army belonged to Wei Hengfu's troops, then they may not have retreated into the mountains to avoid the Japanese invaders, but received a secret order to come to Zanglong Mountain to find the tomb of the Northern and Southern Dynasties with a mysterious scroll to carry out the mission, as for the subsequent disappearance without a trace, it may also be related to the tomb of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
The target person Ai Lanlin said she was looking for is also in this place now, could he also be related to the tomb of the Northern and Southern Dynasties?
While I was thinking about it, I suddenly noticed that one of the young Sichuan soldiers tilted his head to where we were standing, as if staring at us.
"They...... Aren't they phantoms? How can that person still ......" Zheng Tian also found the little warrior who was looking at us, and his heart was a little empty.
"Don't panic, maybe it's just that when they passed by here, there was something right where we were standing that attracted them." I replied with a pretended to be calm.
But as soon as I finished speaking, Alan Lin, who was standing next to me, seemed to notice that something was wrong, and suddenly shouted: "Run! ”
Before I could react to what was going on, I felt something hit me hard behind me, and the pain hit my whole body. I looked back in pain, and I was greeted by five masked men with quinoa sticks in their hands!
Depend on! When did these grandchildren appear?
I subconsciously pulled out the sickle tied to my back, protected it on my chest and bluffed, Zheng Tian saw it and grabbed my sleeve: "What are you pretending to be, run!" ”
I came to my senses and realized that my resistance was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and immediately turned and ran with Zheng Tian Ailanlin all the way, our violent running made the entire plank road stagger, and several rotten planks fell directly from under our feet into the abyss.
The masked man behind him was obviously also afraid of this dangerous plank road, so he didn't chase us very fast. As we ran, the phantoms of the Sichuan army beside the plank road gradually disappeared, and soon, the entities existing in the entire cave were the three of us and the five masked men who chased us.
These masked people are extremely vicious, as if they must kill us all, I really don't know what kind of grudge we have between us.
"The group of grandsons in the back are about to catch up, we have to find a way!" I shouted anxiously.
"What else can I do but run?" Zheng Tianshang was out of breath.
At this time, Ailanlin in front of me suddenly stopped, and I was shocked, I won't encounter any more situations!
Elanlyn's next words confirmed my thoughts.
"There's a cliff ahead, and there's no road." Alan Lin flipped the knife in her hand as she spoke, and it seemed that she was ready to go toe-to-toe with those masked people.
"! What does this mean? Was it that the capital chain was broken when it was repaired, and the boss ran away? Zheng Tian complained.
Seeing that the masked man behind me was getting closer and closer, and there was no way ahead, I had to follow the example of Alan Lin and hold a scythe and prepare to face those guys, just when the masked man was about to rush in front of us with his teeth and claws, I suddenly thought of an idea: cut the trestle!
Most of these wooden trestle bridges have rotted, so they are easy to cut, and once the trestle is broken, those masked people will not be able to pass, but this practice also has a price, that is, we are also in a desperate situation.
There was little time to hesitate or discuss, I made up my mind and decided to take a desperate gamble, and the next second I started to drop the knife in my hand, and then I heard only a "click", and the sharp scythe slashed through the almost rotten rope on the trestle. A gap of six or seven meters immediately appeared on the trestle in front of us, and the masked people behind us chased to the edge of the gap, and saw that there was no way, so they had to stand on the edge of the gap and wave their weapons to us in demonstration.
Zheng Tian and Ai Lanlin were stunned at first when they saw what I was doing, but then they quickly understood, and Ai Lanlin asked, "You cut the road, what should we do?" ”
"Where can you manage so much, the important thing now is not to be caught up by these guys." I replied.
Before I could finish speaking, something absolutely unexpected happened, and one of the masked people jumped up and jumped towards us, landing firmly in front of me.
I was frightened, and hurriedly swung my knife to cut at it, and the masked man turned to the side, quickly dodging the sickle in my hand, and then raised the quinoa stick and slashed at my Tianling Gai, if Zheng Tian hadn't pulled me back in time, I'm afraid I would have already opened my head.
The masked man did not give up, at this time Alan Lin came with a horizontal knife and blocked the masked man's attack, at this time two masked men jumped over, Zheng Tian and I hurriedly stepped forward to block, and after a few rounds, the three of us were forced to the edge of the trestle by the masked man, and behind us was the abyss.
The huge quinoa stick rested on my scythe, and I felt like the scythe in my hand was about to break, and if it continued like this, it would be finished sooner or later.
At the critical moment, I glanced at the abyss behind me, and suddenly thought of something, so I leaned my body slightly to the side, and as soon as I loosened my hand, the masked man didn't grasp the strength well, and the whole person was unstable, swaying on the edge of the plank road, and was about to fall into the abyss, I kicked him hard from behind, and successfully gave an assist.
"Chengzi, come and help me!" Zheng Tian on the side obviously couldn't hold it anymore and sent me a distress signal.
I was just about to go over but the other two masked men on the other side also jumped over at this time, and the moment they stood on the trestle with their feet, I suddenly heard a cracking sound of wooden planks, and my heart immediately rose to my throat, it must be that this rotten trestle bridge can't bear the weight of so many people, and it is about to collapse!
