Chapter 14 Attacked
Gu Chu Shen and the wolf guard army walked in the winding mountains, it has been two months since they left the imperial capital, Gu Chu Shen looked far away, it was a dense and reckless barren mountain with no end in sight.
The Wolf Guard's army is also as Lei Mingcang said, worthy of being the elite of the dynasty, and the soldiers of the Wolf Guard basically have a bit of martial arts cultivation, traveling three hundred miles a day, crossing mountains and mountains.
Since three days ago, after Gu Chu sank into the first small mountain range, the mountains he encountered were getting bigger and bigger, more and more, and finally there was this reckless barren mountain with no end in sight in front of him, and he had never stepped out of this group of mountains again.
"Bashu is mountainous, Hou Ye, after entering this mountain range, we will go to the four counties of Banan in a few days" Lei Mingcang, the commander of the wolf guard who followed Gu Chu Shen's side, said in a deep voice, Emperor Tianzun gave this wolf guard to Gu Chu Shen, in other words, after Gu Chu Shen, Lei Mingcang's master, after two months of contact, Lei Mingcang gradually became familiar with Gu Chu Shen's temperament, although he was a prince, but unlike other Tianhuang nobles he had seen, Gu Chu Shen almost had no shelf, although most of the time he was silent but approachable, and Gu Chu Shen gradually regarded Lei Mingcang as a confidant.
When Gu Chu Shen heard this, his dark face showed a hint of a smile at this time, after two months of traveling, he was finally going to Bashu, even if he was a Dao King cultivator, Gu Chu Shen couldn't help but be physically and mentally exhausted.
The territory of the imperial court is vast and boundless, even if the strong man of the Dao Emperor flies from east to west to fly across the entire imperial court, it will take several days, Rao is Gu Chushen and his party are in a hurry day and night, and it took more than two months to get from the imperial capital to the four counties of Bashu.
Walking through this vast barren mountain, there are two days to reach the four counties of Bashu.
Lei Mingcang, the commander of the Ancient Chu Wolf Guard, and the others drove the Wind Beast at the forefront of the team, followed by the Three Thousand Wolf Guard.
On Gu Chushen's left is Lei Mingcang, while on the right is a bewitching woman, Gu Chushen is inseparable.
Lei Mingcang was puzzled in his heart, this woman claimed to be Mei Xiang Gu Chushen's personal maid, and he could see that Gu Chu Shen's attitude towards Mei Xiang was not like a maid at all, but Mei Xiang was really waiting for Gu Chu Shen's food, clothing, housing and transportation like a maid.
Although he didn't know why, Lei Mingcang didn't ask much, but anyone who is a royal person, maybe it would be strange if they didn't have a little secret, looking at the two of them who were talking and laughing, Lei Mingcang had long been accustomed to it.
The road was quite safe, and he would be able to reach Bashu in a few days, and Lei Mingcang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But at this moment, Lei Mingcang's ears moved, his brows suddenly furrowed, and then his face changed greatly, "Master Hou be careful!"
Before the words fell, Gu Chu Shen reined in his horse, and suddenly, countless big stones fell on the cliffs on both sides of the mountain stream, and the smallest ones were stones like grinding discs, like raindrops falling to the ground.
It's just that the raindrops will make a crisp sound at most when they fall on this hard mountain, while the stones falling dozens of meters high on both sides are like bombs, shaking the ground and trembling.
After all, it was a step too late, and the army had unconsciously entered the mountain stream area, and the moment the big stones of hundreds of catties and thousands of catties slipped down, Lei Mingcang roared: "The whole army is on alert, and the shield array is formed." ”
And the three thousand wolf guards are also experienced in a hundred battles, and when they heard the sound of falling stones, many experienced wolf guards suddenly knew what this meant, their faces changed greatly, and they set up their shields and put them on top of their heads.
The three thousand wolf guards were arranged according to the battle array, and the whole army marched in six columns, and the outermost wolf guards were all with shields in their hands, and even the wolf guards inside were interspersed with shield soldiers.
Lei Mingcang roared, the wolf guard shield soldiers set up their shields one after another, and the army quickly contracted to promote the shield array, a hundred people for a while, and in just a few breaths, thirty shield iron turtle shells appeared in the mountain stream.
As for Gu Chu Shen riding a horse, although he didn't have time to hide in the iron shell of the shield array, but he was a Dao King cultivator, even if he couldn't resist the falling boulder, it was still easy to dodge, Gu Chu Shen abandoned the horse, and his body was like a ghost.
And Lei Mingcang is even more powerful, half a foot into the realm of the Dao Emperor, the cultivation is the fierce and domineering Dao in the army, if the Dao is fierce and only inferior to the Vajra Arhat of Buddhism, the anger is surging, the falling stone in front of him was broken by his punch, and the master of his realm has almost no effect.
Even if it was like this, Lei Mingcang's face was iron-blue, because the screams came and went, even if the wolf guards formed a shield array, they couldn't completely stop the huge impact of the falling rocks, and some of the wolf guards couldn't withstand the impact of the falling rocks and fell, in addition, most of the wolf guards who didn't react and hid in the shield array at the beginning were also dead.
The screams were mixed with the roar of the earth's shaking, Gu Chu Shen had a headache at the moment, three thousand wolf guards were his biggest capital to settle down, a total of three thousand people, one less than one, at least hundreds of wolf guards were killed and injured in this short quarter of an hour.
At this time, after the rolling rocks subsided, the figures on the cliffs on both sides of the mountain stream were full of figures, and the ambush soldiers who had long been lurking on both sides stood up.
Looking at the figures on both sides that could not be seen, Gu Chushen's face became extremely gloomy.
"Master Hou, we fell into an ambush. Lei Mingcang looked vigilant, stared at the figures moving on the mountain and said, "Look at the outfit, it should be a group of bold mountain bandits." ”
"Mountain bandits?!"
Gu Chushen let out a strange giggle in his throat, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out, "The mountain bandits who dare to rob when they see the banner of the imperial army? Gu Chushen finally shouted angrily.
The corners of Lei Mingcang's eyebrows twitched and he didn't dare to interject, he was a little weak in the face of Gu Chushen's questioning, he knew that the battles of the royal families of the Ming Dynasty were all cruel, a group of bandits who dared to ambush the wolf guard, how long has it been in the territory of the Tianzun Dynasty, twenty years or thirty years, in short, His Majesty the Tianzun Emperor has been powerful and powerful, destroying the three heroes of the Warring States, suppressing the immortals and demons and the two ten thousand sects, and no one has dared to make a move against the official army for a long time, even if it is the most ordinary city guard, let alone the wolf guard.
However, Lei Mingcang did secretly say bad luck in his heart, how did he let him do this drudgery, I thought it was a fat difference, when he arrived in the four counties of Banan, Gu Chu Shen had just arrived, and he must rely on him, and he could be regarded as a general under one person, at that time in the land of the four counties of Banan, he would be a veritable second person, but who would have thought that he would suffer such a catastrophe, in case Gu Chu Shen died here, not to mention glory and wealth, his life and the fate of his whole family can be imagined, Lei Mingcang said to Gu Chu Shen: " Hou Ye, the person who came is not good, the top priority is to find a way to get out, you follow closely by the humble position, and the humble duty protects the Hou Ye and rushes out. ”
Gu Chu Shen had this bad premonition in his heart, as far as he could see, the cliffs that stretched for miles on both sides and the surrounding mountains were crowded, at least tens of thousands of people, ten times the enemy, if he rushed to kill head-on, this wolf guard might not be afraid, but it was still in the mountain stream Jedi, even if it was three thousand elite wolf guards rushing out on the side, it was not easy for Gu Chu Shen to be unwilling, could he really die in this barren mountain and forest today.
"Kill!"
At the end of the falling rocks, the bandits on both sides of the mountain stream in all directions, rushed down on the mountains on all sides, and the bandits at the front and back of the mountain stream were black and pressed like a tide, and in a blink of an eye, Gu Chushen and others surrounded the three layers in all directions.
The crowd in front of them gave way one after another, and one person walked out, with a wicked smile on his face, his muscles were knotted, two meters high, and the big man of the iron tower was holding a nine-ring knife in his hand, pointing at Gu Chushen and others and shouting: "I opened this road, I planted this tree, and I want to pass by and buy road money." ”
Lei Mingcang's expression was cold, and he scolded: "Do you know who is standing in front of you, this official is the commander of the wolf guard, you can't find it if you eat the bear's heart and leopard gall, and now it's too late to get out of the way and escape." ”
The tower man sneered, "Lao Tzu lives the days when his head is no longer a trouser belt, this one doesn't dare to rob that one doesn't dare to move, Lao Tzu has already gone home to farm and come out to be a bandit, don't talk nonsense, leave all the valuable things behind you, and let the uncle let you live." ”
Lei Mingcang's face was ugly, he looked at Gu Chu Shen, Gu Chu Shen frowned, if he could really break the fortune and avoid disasters, he would be willing to give up these things outside his body, but the purpose of this group of bandits was really to make money? Gu Chu Shen glanced at the bandits who couldn't see the front and back, and said in a deep voice: "Commander Lei, robbing the imperial court officials, and besides, he is still a royal court, do they dare to let this kind of thing spread?"
No matter how Gu Chu Shen is also the prince on the spot, no matter what happened to the royal court today, the imperial court will definitely send martial arts powerhouses and armies to exterminate this group of bandits, Gu Chu Shen dares to guarantee that this group of bandits will not escape the pursuit of the imperial court no matter how far they go to the ends of the earth.
Therefore, no matter what, the only way is that Gu Chushen and the others will be buried here today, so that they can have a chance to live, Lei Mingcang is also a veteran of the battlefield, he instantly understood what Gu Chushen meant, took a deep breath, and Lei Mingcang roared: "Protect the Hou Ye and kill it." ”
The horse took the lead in blocking Gu Chu Shen's body, and the wolf guards around him converged towards Gu Chu Shen and protected him in the center.
"Kill. ”
The forward opened the way, the Chinese army guarded, and the rear army was broken, tens of thousands of bandits were pressed like a tide, and the three thousand wolf guards were like a stone full of sharp knives in the tide, moving slowly in the black tide, and the bandits where they passed were all strangled, and the wreckage of the severed fingers was paved on the ground, and the wolf guards ruthlessly stepped on, and the heavy smell of blood filled the mountain stream.
Tens of thousands of bandits have not been able to approach Gu Chu Shen 100 meters side, although this group of bandits is a large number of people but is a group of rabble, how can the march and fight be comparable to the elite wolf guards of the imperial court, the three thousand wolf guards are well-trained, the attack and defense are orderly, just like a hundred steel knives in the tens of thousands of bandits advancing, every moment there are hundreds of bandits falling.
On a towering cliff, a group of people stand on it, all of them have a strong temperament, or full of gangsterism.
Among the first few people in front, a scholar with a large figure, holding a folding fan, and a jade crown on his head looked out of place with other fierce and vicious bandit leaders, but these hideous faces looked at the scholar with awe-inspiring eyes, and they all knew that the scholar who could have today's situation in the eight hundred miles of Black Mountain was a great contributor.
"The sons and daughters below can't hold it anymore. The scholar said softly.
A sharp-beaked monkey gills and a small bandit smiled, playing with a dagger in his hand, the dagger was luxurious, inlaid with more than a dozen gems, multicolored glass, dazzling, the largest ruby baby fist-sized.
When his eyes saw Mei Xiang and a few good-looking maids, the greed in his eyes was undisguised, and the short bandit smiled lewdly: "Everyone is beautiful, the little jasper and the old man have all played, but I really haven't tasted the taste of women from the imperial court in the imperial capital, eldest brother, second brother, do you want to leave a few brothers." ”
