Chapter Eighty-Four: Arriving at the Wharf and Breaking through the Barrier
After Yi Tianxing and Gu Lingyan rescued Mu Gongzhi and Yi De, the four of them went all the way to the west, joined up with more than 100 merchants who were preparing to fully evacuate Weizhou, and rushed to Weiliu Wharf.
Weiliu Wharf as the place of freight circulation in Shen and Wei Prefectures, was once very prosperous in the Xianyi period, but due to the founding of the Later Yi State, the monarch deliberately scrapped the old and established the new in order to show the new atmosphere of the new dynasty, and rebuilt a Xingyi Wharf in the north of Weiliu Wharf as a new freight distribution center in the two states, and Weiliu Wharf was also abandoned, barren for many years, and even many young Weizhou people did not know the existence of this wharf. 2s
After Dongdonger established the Yamato Dynasty, the national strength declined to the extreme, all kinds of waste to be rebuilt, lack of money everywhere, naturally it was impossible to do that good feat, the role of Xingyi Wharf was not only used, but also more and more attention, the troops there were personally transferred by Luanjing, not subject to the jurisdiction of Xiaocheng Taishou, dedicated to protecting the safety of Xingyi Wharf. If you want to smuggle out of Weizhou, Xingyi Wharf is definitely not a good choice.
Generally speaking, Weizhou stowaways choose to sail in the privacy of the original Xingyi wharf, and locals who are familiar with the coastal terrain can always find many temporary stops for small fishing boats, and there is no need for a wharf. However, this time, the children of the merchants evacuated Weizhou, with a large population, no less than 200 people, and used a small boat carrying ten people to transport them, the number was too large, and the movement was too large, so Fang Ru found a big ship to hide. Therefore, they thought about the Weiliu Wharf, and arranged in advance for some of the clansmen to go over to restore the function of the wharf to stop the boat, so that when the time came, they could quickly leave together by boat.
But when Yi Tianxing and his entourage arrived at Weiliu Wharf, the faces of the Shang family suddenly changed greatly, and they let out a roar of grief and anger.
A row of 100 meters across the shape of a semi-ring of horses blocked their way, the officers and soldiers behind were dense, a piece of black pressure, it was chilling to look at, there were three simple arrow towers in the middle, more than ten ballistas, what made the Shang family sad and inexplicable was that more than 50 clansmen who were sent to repair the dock in the early stage were naked and piled up in the open space before the rejection of the horses, and the blood stains under their bodies had dried up and blackened.
Yi Tianxing's heart sank, they broke through quickly, and the situation in front of them was definitely not something that Wang Xiangdong could do with his temporary arrangement: "Shang Shopkeeper, apart from your clansmen, who else knows about this matter?"
Yi Tianxing asked Shang Shanjin, the head of the Weizhou business, and thought for a while when he heard this: "No, the stakes are very high, and even among our clansmen, only me and the twenty-ninth and thirty-fifth brothers know about the overall plan." ”
Yi Tianxing said: "Uncle Shande is by your side, what about Uncle Shancun?"
Shang Shande heard the meaning of Yi Tianxing's words, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Brother Twenty-Nine will not betray us! He led some of his clansmen to repair the dock, and now his bones must be in the pile of corpses in front of him!"
Yi Tianxing didn't answer, frowning and looking ahead: "It's a little troublesome." ”
Shang Shande had a very bad impression of Yi Tianxing at this time, and sneered: "Just refusing horses, our master can leap with all his strength, and it is easy to overcome, as for the three arrow towers and more than ten ballistas, can they also hurt us?"
Yi Tianxing lightly spit out three words: "Magic Ballista." ”
Shang Shande glanced at it, the twelve ballistae are simple and the material is ordinary, at first glance it is not the style of the magic ballista, the magic ballista is extremely difficult to manufacture, it is not so much a weapon of war, but a treasure used by the nobility to show off their wealth, so the gold inlaid jade is the norm, even if it is a simple stream, it is also extremely extravagant in the material of the ballista. And these twelve ballista are only made of golden beech wood, this kind of wood is hard, shock-resistant and tensile resistant, and it is indeed an excellent raw material for making ballistas, but the price is not high, it is a cheap and high-quality goods, how can the magic ballista not be poor like this, right? Thinking of this, he laughed softly: "How is it possible? The magic ballista is expensive to build and the output is scarce, let's not talk about whether Dongdong'er can afford it? Without our merchant coming forward, Weizhou doesn't want to bring in a magic ballista......!" But seeing Shang Shanjin's pale face, his heart suddenly sank, and he raised his eyes to look in the direction of the dock.
Shang Shande was born in a merchant, he received professional training in the clan since he was a child, and was familiar with all kinds of goods, especially the identification of rare goods, just now because he was dissatisfied with Yi Tianxing, in order to ridicule his preconceived ideas in his heart, he looked away, and now he noticed the abnormality, and after careful inspection, he saw the problem of those ballistas, and couldn't help but tremble: "It's really a magic ballista, how can this be?"
Shang Shanjin's face was extremely ugly, and he arched his hand towards Yi Tianxing: "The family is unfortunate, which makes Yi Ergongzi laugh." The current situation is critical, I don't know what the best plan for Yi Er Gongzi is?"
Yi Tianxing said: "This bit of soldiers and horses, even if there is magic weapons, can't stop us, the problem is ......" said and glanced at the old and weak women and children behind him.
Shang Shanjin's face flashed and passed away: "Wealth has a life, life and death are in the sky." ”
Yi Tianxing heard the noisy and noisy voices coming from behind, left and right, sighed secretly in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Now that the officers and soldiers of the Yamato Dynasty have controlled the dock, have our ships also fallen into their hands?"
Shang Shanjin shook his head and said, "Probably not, without our signal, the ship will not appear." ”
"We?" Yi Tianxing's brows furrowed again.
"Me. Shang Shanjin knew Yi Tianxing's worries, and hurriedly corrected: "Only I have a signal." ”
Yi Tianxing frowned: "That's good, I'm most afraid that we finally took the dock, but found that the ship was destroyed, so we could only be trapped in a corner and fight against the water." The voice paused: "Xiao Cheng's pursuers are about to arrive, and we don't have much time." Seventh uncle!"
Gu Lingyan said: "What do you want me to do?"
Yi Tianxing said: "You attack head-on, attract enemy attacks, and split a road by the way." But you have to be careful, there are so many kinds of magic that the magic ballista shoots, and I don't know what kind of magic crossbow bolts will be sent out from the other side?"
Gu Lingyan said with a smile: "It's okay, it's not like I haven't been to Jingzhou." The magic ballista is powerful, but it also has flaws, the larger the magic crossbow arrow, the lower the firing frequency, and except for the wind bolt and the wind chasing crossbow arrow, the speed of the rest of the magic ballista is about the same as the crossbow arrow fired by the ordinary ballista, and I have enough time to dodge. ”
Yi Tianxing said: "Don't take those miscellaneous soldiers lightly, these magic ballistas are not something that Wang Xiangdong can afford, and they must be Dongdong'er behind them." He is now a Son of Heaven, and the resources he can mobilize are huge, and there are a few masters on the other side that he has recently snare or have been secretly using. Uncle Mu!
Mu Gongzhi said: "Yes." Shang Shande knew that the situation was urgent, and he didn't dare to lose his temper anymore.
Yi Tianxing said: "You have one arrow tower per person! No matter if you use poison or hidden weapons, ensure that there are no archers on the arrow tower, and you don't care about other things!"
Mu Gongzhi and the three of them nodded yes.
Yi Tianxing distributed a pill to each of his companions, ordered him to take it immediately, and then said to Shang Shanjin: "You assign the masters of your clan, protect the old and weak women and children, and charge with me!" After that, he turned to the merchants: "Wait a while to run, you don't care about anything, run with us!" No matter how tired and painful you are, you must keep up with the team, before rushing to the dock, I will not save anyone who falls behind, and I will not allow others to rescue him! Falling behind is death, there is no luck, understand?"
After the stern voice sounded, several cries erupted from the merchant crowd.
Shang Shanjin's face suddenly changed, and he roared in a low voice: "Shut up!"
But it was too late, and the officers and soldiers of the Yamato Dynasty who heard the voice had already lifted their spirits, and several arrows were swished out from the three arrow towers, although there was no specific target, but the direction was judged correctly, and one of the arrows hit a crying woman, and sealed her throat on the spot.
The people who heard Shang Shanjin's scolding and still couldn't help crying in fear were even more frightened when they saw this, and they cried and screamed in despair, attracting more flying arrows.
Yi Tianxing glanced at them coldly: "Shopkeeper Shang, make arrangements quickly!" He didn't dare to block the flying arrows, otherwise he would be locked by the archers on the arrow tower, and the casualties would only be worse.
Shang Shanjin didn't answer, and organized the warriors in the clan with a gloomy face: "Life and death in this battle, if you want to survive, go to Bo desperately! Cowardly and ignorant, those who harm others and themselves, take the blame for themselves, don't blame the old man for being ruthless!"
A merchant boy squatted down towards a middle-aged woman: "Mom, I'll carry you!"
Shang Shanjin slashed his backhand and cut off the young man's head: "Those who disrespect orders, die!
The middle-aged woman was stunned, then looked at Shang Shanjin with an incredible face, and pounced like crazy: "Old dog! This is your own nephew! You can do it! You can return my son's life!"
Shang Shanjin's expressionless stab resulted in the middle-aged woman, and he looked at Yi Tianxing: "Ready." ”
Shang Shanjin took a few words, and three more members of the Shang family were hit by arrows, one dead and two injured, Yi Tianxing also felt that he couldn't delay any longer, and immediately nodded: "Rush!"
With a swishing sound, Gu Lingyan took the lead, holding a sharp axe and rushing to the opposite military formation, Mu Gongzhi, Yi De, and Shang Shande followed closely behind, they had already held back a breath of fire in their hearts, dodging arrows on the one hand, and running wildly on the other.
Yi Tianxing took a deep breath: "Come!" The sound was like spring thunder, the shadow was like lightning, the white jade sword light bloomed beside him, like ten thousand plum blossoms blooming, Shang Shanjin shook his sleeves, and more than ten money darts slipped into his palm: "Keep up!"
With Shang Shanjin's order, the Shang family formed a circle formation and followed Yi Tianxing to gallop, but they were not trained, and the running speed was different, and after a while, the circle formation had been dragged into an ellipse, facing the danger of collapse, and some of the peripheral warriors began to slow down and close the formation, but in the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the Yamato Dynasty, such a defense was completely a lamb to be slaughtered.
Shang Shanjin was stunned, although he couldn't stop sending money darts to block the flying arrows, but how could the strength of one person stop the military formation?
Gu Lingyan ran quickly, and after a few breaths, he had already reached about five zhang in front of the officers and soldiers, and the magic ballista on the opposite side began to launch.
Three thigh-thick bolts of lightning, five fireballs as big as a canopy, and a dark cloud as black as ink fell from the sky and fell towards the merchant brigade, making Shang Shanjin's face pale.
Seeing this, Yi Tianxing let out a long roar, his body rose to the sky, the sword turned into a long rainbow, like a fireball of electric light, it was scattered into a stream of fireflies, and finally crashed into the dark clouds, and the thick clouds dissipated in a moment, leaving only Yi Tianxing standing in the air, like a god, seeing that the Shang family was in high spirits, and their mood came out of despair, and they shouted in unison, and ran ahead of them.
There were also three huge crossbow arrows that shot towards Gu Lingyan in the wind, and as soon as the crossbow string sounded, the arrows had already come to Gu Lingyan.
Gu Lingyan roared, his body seemed to have swelled a lot in an instant, and the three axes were like lightning, splitting the crossbow arrows one by one, but the huge impact force forced him to retreat more than ten zhang, and his feet ploughed out two chasms on the ground.
Three figures flew out of the army formation, one person held two hammers, and smashed towards Gu Lingyan's head and face, one person's spear was like a dragon, and the gun locked his throat, and one person jumped into the air, raised his hand and shot out a handful of flying locust stones, covering Gu Lingyan.
As soon as Gu Lingyan stood still, he saw three masters attacking, hey, holding the axe in both hands, he turned around his body from the top of his head, and slashed out.
With a bang, the flying locust stones scattered and splashed in the swift axe wind like a frenzied tide, and the spears and heavy hammers were swept away by an axe, Gu Lingyan did not fight, kicked the ground under his feet, and shot at the horse like an arrow, shouting: "Open!"
Boom! Under his thunderous blow, the horse that blocked the front of Gu Lingyan shattered into powder and flew in all directions, revealing a gap that was three people wide, and the officers and soldiers behind the gap were also affected by the axe light, and four people were killed at that time.
The three masters who were responsible for intercepting Gu Lingyan were ashamed and annoyed when they saw this, they all turned around and killed again, and three people rushed out of the officers and soldiers in front of them, two of them combined their swords, and one of them took the sword sideways, all of them showed good skills and blocked Gu Lingyan in front of them.
Gu Lingyan's eyes widened angrily: "Shaft An dares to stop me?" The axe light swept out, like a long river bursting its embankment, it was overwhelming, the faces of the three people who met him changed color when they saw this, and they jumped to avoid each other, and they were rushed into the military formation, killing all sides, ordinary officers and soldiers were simply unable to resist Gu Lingyan's tyranny, and for a while, blood and viscera were splashed together, and heads and stumps flew together, and the officers and soldiers were frightened, and they retreated one by one.
In the middle of the barracks, three people stand side by side, the middle one is burly, with phoenix wings on his head, wearing a double dragon shoulder chain mail, holding a Fang Tian painting halberd, majestic and majestic; on the left is a person with a Chinese character face, his hands are thick and strong, and his eyebrows are full of green energy; on the right is a white face with a long beard, and he wears a sword at his waist, and his expression is elegant.
Looking at the battle situation in front of him, the general in the middle looked worried: "What's the matter with the intelligence? How did you break through the battle besides Yi Tianxing, there is such a strong master?"
The elegant swordsman drew his sword and flicked his sword and roared: "General Qu, don't worry, I'll stop him." With that, he turned into a cyan rainbow and flew towards Gu Lingyan.
Gu Lingyan suddenly, he felt that he was locked by someone with a qi machine, and the hairs on his body stood on end, and he suddenly became vigilant: "What a strong master!" At the moment, he did not continue to kill the nearby officers and soldiers, and with a force on his feet, he stood on the ground, and the axe light turned around his body to protect his whole body.
At the same time, Mu Gongzhi and the three of them had already rushed into the military formation, running towards the three arrow towers respectively.
Mu Gongzhi waved his sleeves, and a cloud of dark gray mist flew out, and he stood up and quickly approached the arrow tower.
Yi De urged Xuanyin to return to the original strength, and the three feet outside his body were cold to the bones, and all the officers and soldiers who approached him were frozen to the stiffness of their hands and feet, and they couldn't avoid his electric knife light at all, and he killed a bloody path to the arrow tower.
Although Shang Shande's martial arts are poor, but he has a strong net worth, and he hides a lot of firearms of the Lei family in his arms, looking at these murderers who slaughtered his own people, his eyes are extremely red, and he pours out the firearms in his hands, and the officers and soldiers of Yamato are turned on their backs.
