Chapter 194 [Immortal Residence] (II)
Everyone picked up their weapons, and three minutes after Tan Zicong ordered, a fire extinguishing area about one meter long appeared in the northwest of the fire ring, and after the flame was extinguished, a cow rushed into the ring immediately. Bullets were fired at the cow's head, and the cow was shot into a honeycomb before it could step into the pen.
One fell and the other rushed in, the defenders kept firing, but the area of the extinguishing zone was rapidly expanding.
Luo Lie suddenly walked to the east, where the fire was relatively strong, but Luo Lie heard the sound of horses' hooves approaching this side quickly. Yan Tianxin picked up the submachine gun and followed behind Luo Lie, keeping a short distance to facilitate cover.
Luo Lie stopped about three meters away from the wall of fire, the sound of horses' hooves also stopped, Luo Lie slowly pulled out the knife from his waist, and suddenly a black shadow fell on the wall of fire in front of him, but it was a cow that had died, and the body of the cow extinguished the flames.
Luo Lie saw more than a dozen masked knights in black armor and black armor galloping towards the gap outside the ring of fire, not only were these knights fully armed, but even the mounts under their crotches were wearing armor, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, Luo Lie would never believe that such a heavy armored cavalry squad would appear in front of them.
Yan Tianxin shot first, the submachine gun spewed out angry tongues of fire, and the bullets swept towards the cavalry, the target was concentrated below, shooting people and horses first, for a battle-hardened warrior, this was the simplest truth.
Several bullets hit the cavalry's mounts, but most of them were blocked by the heavy armor.
More than a dozen knights immediately dispersed, and they took out crossbow arrows from their waists, and the feather arrows were like locusts, shooting at Yan Tianxin.
Luo Lie waved the sword in his hand, turning into a large mist of light in front of him, protecting his and Yan Tianxin's bodies, the crossbow arrows clanged and slammed into the light shield formed by the sword, and there were also many crossbow arrows shot at the bandits who were defending the gap, and in the screams, many people had already fallen to the ground.
The fire was rapidly dying, and more and more cattle and sheep rushed in through the gap, and the heavily armored knights leaped over the extinguished ring of fire and into the heart of their defense.
Luo Lie calmly looked at a masked knight who was coming straight to him, before the other party approached him, a sideways roll dodged, and cut out with a knife, cutting off the right front leg of the opponent's mount at the knee, the horse did not neigh after breaking the leg, and fell to the ground with a pop, and immediately the knight jumped off the horse, pulled out a heavy sword from behind, took a step forward, and slashed at the top of Luo Lie's head with both hands.
Yan Tianxin was worried that Luo Hunt had made a mistake, so he raised his gun and aimed at the warrior's face and shot one after another, and the bullet hit the opponent's mask, causing sparks to bubble up and shock the opponent to retreat continuously, but none of the bullets could shoot through the mask on his face.
Another samurai came to reinforce and swept towards Yan Tianxin's head with a meteor hammer, and Yan Tianxin raised his head to dodge the opponent's fatal blow.
By this time, most of the flames around them had been extinguished, and the barrier they relied on to defend themselves was about to disappear. Tan Tiande raised his gun and shot a sheep who intended to attack him, and secretly prayed in his heart, God, you just open your eyes.
Perhaps his prayers finally worked, and between the heavens and the earth in the east, a round of red sun finally slowly revealed some true faces.
The sun broke through the morning and dusk, and those heavily armored knights took the lead in retreating, and the cattle and sheep also began to stop attacking, but these cattle and sheep obviously did not know where to go, and stood in place one by one. The frightened Tan Zicong shouted: "Kill these beasts, none of them will be left, none of them will be left!"
Luo Hunt did not stop the killing frenzy that took place in front of him, because these cattle and sheep may have been infected with the virus, and if these cattle and sheep were allowed to roam around, they would only infect more creatures.
Yan Tianxin looked at everything around her with a pale face, and she said to Luo Lie, "You must find her as soon as possible." ”
Luo Lie came to the war horse whose front hooves had been cut off by him, and the war horse held its head high and tried to stand up from the ground.
Tan Tiande walked over at this time, aimed at the blood-red eyes of the war horse and fired two shots in succession, and the high head of the war horse fell heavily to the ground.
Luo Lie checked the bridle and outer armor of the war horse, and from the inscription above, he had already judged that these characters were in Western Xia script.
Tan Tiande said in a trembling voice: "Heavenly Temple Knights, they are all Heavenly Temple Knights!"
Luo Lie looked at Tan Tiande with some puzzlement, in his opinion, these knights were more like the Western Xia warriors in history, and such an inference could be made from the inscriptions on the armor of the war horses, but he didn't know what the origin of Tan Tiande's Heavenly Temple Knight was? Yan Tianxin thought of their original purpose because of the Heavenly Temple Knights, and they traveled thousands of miles to escort the body of Princess Longyu to the Heavenly Temple!
More than 1,000 cattle and sheep that lost their resistance were quickly killed by Tan Zicong and his subordinates, and there was black blood everywhere, and the scene was miserable.
Luo Lie and Yan Tianxin stayed away from this slaughter field, Yan Tianxin bit her lip and said, "Those knights remind me of my grandfather. ”
Luo Lie nodded, he also thought of this when he was fighting with those knights just now, the Jurchen warriors led by Yan Kuohai guarded the Nine Secret Realms and guarded the secrets that they had passed down from generation to generation, and they gradually lost their nature due to the influence of the environment during the long process of guarding the tomb. It's just that Pale Mountain and Shinmanjo are thousands of miles away, and there shouldn't be much connection between these warriors. If there is a connection, it is only Princess Longyu, could it be that there will be such a guardian warrior where Princess Longyu appears?
Yan Tianxin said: "I know you don't believe it, but I dare to conclude that all of this is related to Princess Longyu." ”
Luo Lie said: "Maybe if you find Zhuo Yishou, you can figure out the real problem." ”
As the sun rose, the gunfire finally subsided completely, and after this terrifying battle, Tan Tiande still had only more than 70 of his subordinates left, most of their vehicles were abandoned, and most of the original sufficient ammunition was lost. Tan Tiande was originally going to go to Laoyingpan to annihilate the infected there, but he had already lost his troops before he got close to Laoyingpan, and now he had to reconsider their choice, if he insisted on continuing to go to Laoyingpan, I am afraid that their damage would be even greater.
Tan Zicong's idea of withdrawing from the incident became stronger and firmer, and he finally escaped, and the fool took the initiative to seek death, and after seeing the opportunity, he began to advise the old man again.
In fact, even if his son didn't say it, Tan Tiande also understood his thoughts, he came to Luo Lie and Yan Tianxin alone, Tan Tiande never regarded himself as a hero, but he had the bloody nature of not being afraid of death in his bones, and the thing of retreating halfway had never happened in his memory, so this goodbye was also extremely difficult to speak.
Luo Lie never likes to embarrass others, although Tan Tiande is not a good person, but he can also be called bold and resourceful, he dares to cooperate with himself, and previously decided to go to the old camp to eliminate the infected people entrenched there, it was reality that made him lose confidence, Tan Tiande is not fearless, his biggest weakness is his son Tan Zicong.
Tan Tiande said: "I'm just afraid that I have a weak heart." No matter how high-sounding the words were, they couldn't make up for the fact that he flinched from the battle, and Tan Tiande couldn't help but have a fever on his old face.
Luo Lie said: "It's good to have a heart." ”
Tan Tiande found that Luo Lie was an empathetic young man, such a young man was easy to make people feel good and trusted, Tan Tiande hugged his fists and said: "He will see you again in the future." He turned to leave.
Luo Lie said: "Old man, stay here, what is the Heavenly Temple Knight you just said?"
Tan Tiande turned his head, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Those knights, I'...... I saw it more than a decade ago. ”
Yan Tianxin was surprised: "More than ten years ago?"
Tan Tiande said: "About sixteen years ago, it's a long story, at that time, the military targeted us, sent troops to clean up many times, so that we suffered heavy losses, we had to hide under Helan Mountain, through the tomb of the Western Xia king, found a collapsed cave, forced by the situation, I decided to enter the cave to hide temporarily, but we didn't go into it for too long before we met a group of mysterious ironclad knights......"
Tan Tiande stopped at this point, but Luo Lie and Yan Tianxin already understood that the iron armor he was talking about was actually very likely to be the same as the previous encounter.
Tan Tiande obviously didn't want to recall the past that brought him fear, so he shook his head vigorously and said, "Don't talk about it." ”
Luo Lie said, "Why does Old Man Tan call them Heavenly Temple Knights? Didn't you meet them in the Tomb of the Western Xia Dynasty?"
Tan Tiande said: "It's because they said that we broke into the forbidden land of the Heavenly Temple, so we called them the Heavenly Temple Knights." ”
Luo Lie and Yan Tianxin were overjoyed when they heard this, they didn't expect to get the location of the Heavenly Temple from Tan Tiande, according to Zhuo Yishou's statement before, he was going to send the body of Princess Longyu to the Heavenly Temple, that is to say, as long as they go to the Heavenly Temple, it is possible to find Zhuo Yishou, and the bell must be tied to the bell, if you want to solve this trouble, you will eventually have to start with Zhuo Yishou's body.
Luo Lie said: "Old Man Tan, there is a reluctant invitation below. ”
Tan Tiande is so sophisticated, from Luo Lie's words, he has already guessed what he wants to ask for himself, sighed and said: "I am already old, and I ......" He glanced at those frightened subordinates, after last night's fierce battle of life and death, these subordinates have been frightened, and their sons alone cannot control the scene, Tan Tiande is not distressed about his subordinates, but he is not worried about his son, he must take his younger son out of danger.
Tan Tiande said: "Although the old man can't go, he can draw a map for you." ”
Luo Lie has never been difficult to force others, and it is the same when he heard that Tan Tiande was willing to draw a map, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Old Man Tan." ”
The reason why Yan Tuojiang chose to come to the Immortal Residence at this time was not without reason, all the city gates of Xinmanying were blocked, and it was not a feasible way to lurk in the city and wait for the limelight to pass before trying to leave. However, after seeing the deranged zombies with his own eyes, he began to realize that the new Manchurian camp was not a place to stay for long.
