Chapter 2: Frost Blade IX
readx;? Chapter 2: Frost Blade (9)
He Guo is also a veteran of leading troops to fight, and his judgment of the situation is very accurate. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info In the next afternoon, sure enough, two waves of people with different identities tried to rob Xiaofei in the name of "rescue".
However, the process and outcome of the battle were also as Guo Yunming had judged in advance. The cavalry carefully selected by Han Pu was effortless to deal with these improvised rabble. At the cost of killing one person and wounding two, he killed all his opponents, and then wielded his sword to cut off the heads of those who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy and those who could not flee for their lives.
Hearing the abrupt cessation of begging for mercy outside, Xiao Fei was even more reluctant to be with this group of devils. As long as he could find the right moment, he went hungry and continued to dig hard into the wooden floor under the iron railing. The picture scroll, blurred by blood blisters, was used by him as the best cover, covering all traces of excavation. And the proud Guo Yunming, every time he sees that picture, he will remember the fact that the lie he worked hard to weave in the middle of the night was easily punctured by a "fool", and he did not hesitate to move his eyes elsewhere.
Although he no longer tried to persuade the young man with his mouth, he Guo did not give up the torture of the young man. The two meals of the day were only given to smell the smell. Even Qing Shui, before Xiao Fei gave in, was no longer ready to give the latter a sip.
Very unexpectedly, although the young man Xiaofei was born white and chubby, he looked like a pampered son, but he was a rare hard bone. Even though his lips were obviously dry and cracked, he didn't make any sound begging for mercy.
"Changshi, why don't you change your tricks! In case he really dies of thirst, I'm afraid we won't be able to explain it in front of Secretary Su!" After killing the third wave of heroes from the rivers and lakes who came to the rescue, Li Wenfeng, the head of the capital, reminded in a low voice while wiping the blood stains on the blade.
The reason why he stood up and said these words was not because of sympathy for Xiaofei. It was Lord Su Fengji, the secretary of the Han Dynasty who had the reputation of "poisoner", and his temper was really difficult to fathom. If you leave the impression that this person is ineffective, and you can't be promoted in this life, it will be really not worth it to find an opportunity to send you and the whole team into the tiger's mouth one day!
"It's okay, I've read a transcript of the torture left by Junchen in the Tang Dynasty. People can go without food for four or five days in a row, but as long as they don't drink water for more than three days, they will be in a trance. At that point, as soon as you shake the kettle, he will pounce like a dog. Then, if you ask him to admit anything, he will admit anything, whether it is a hero or a pawn of a peddler, the performance is no different!" Guo Yunming glanced at him lightly, and deliberately raised his voice and said.
He probably meant it just for the prisoners in the carriage. However, the expression on his face and the intoxication that he unconsciously revealed when he spoke made the hearts of a cadre of elite cavalrymen tremble. Since then, no one has dared to come forward to talk much, and even to eat and chat, they try to stay away from the carriage.
"Everyone get closer, there won't be only three waves of thieves spying on His Highness!" Guo Yunming frowned a little unhappily when he saw that everyone was respectful of him, and ordered loudly, "Keep in good formation, I always feel that there seems to be someone secretly following us along the way." It's almost time to get to the ferry, so don't take it lightly. As long as the carriage is sent across the Yellow River, it is our territory, and Secretary Su has already sent enough people to meet us on the other side!"
"Yes!" everyone agreed in unison, lined up their mounts, and tried to get closer to Guo Yunming and the carriage. But it still maintains a relatively "safe" distance.
Because there are still many strategic points along the coast that are controlled by the Khitans or their lackeys, the convoy cannot choose the nearest ferry to cross the river, nor can it keep swaggering along the official road. Instead, it clings to the riverbank, zigzags and turns, sometimes to the north, and sometimes to the south, detouring to the hidden place under their own control. A lot of time and energy was wasted on dodging large enemy forces. It wasn't until the sky was completely dark that he finally came to a broken wall about forty miles away from the original martial city.
Beneath the broken wall is the surging Yellow River, which sounds especially turbulent in the dark night. Guo Yunming picked up a dead wind lamp from the corner of the carriage, picked it up with a spear, and poked out under the broken wall. Then he quickly retracted, deliberately spaced two breaths apart, and repeated the previous action again, as in the case of the third.
Under the broken wall, a frog roared immediately, high-pitched and piercing, and even the sound of water was suppressed. In an instant, a large ship with a red lantern suddenly sailed out from under the broken wall, followed the current, and quickly rushed downstream.
"Keep up!" Guo Yunming broke off in a low voice, turned his horse's head, and ran to the east with the help of the starlight. The elite cavalry guarded the carriage and slowly followed. The wheels jumped and bumped on the roadless yellow earth, and the carriages rose and fell with the ravines on the hillside, and the mournful sound was endless, as if it would fall apart at any time.
Finally, before the carriage was shattered, everyone walked down the broken wall safely and came to a relatively gentle river beach four miles east of the signal. (Note 1)
The big ship with the red light has come to a stop. A rope the thickness of a child's arm ties the bow of the ship to a bluestone tethered horse post on the shore that seems to have been abandoned for many years. On the right side of the ship, a disrepaired abandoned trestle was aligned. As long as you connect with someone, you can immediately untie the cable and walk away.
"Dismount, Li Wenfeng, you order twenty people to pull the carriage onto the boat. Wang Xiuwu led the rest of the brothers to guard around, and after the big ship left, he went back to give orders to General Han!" Guo Yunming looked around vigilantly and continued to give orders.
The two who were called by name all agreed in unison, "Yes!" and immediately went their separate ways. Seeing that the carriage had been pushed onto the trestle, everyone could immediately get out of the enemy territory. For some reason, the uneasy feeling in Guo Yunming's heart became more and more intense.
It was a last instinct before his prey was about to fall into a trap, and it made his scalp faint. Although he is not yet thirty years old, because he has too much experience in harming people, his premonition of being killed has also been sharpened. "Stop!" he quickly drew his horizontal knife, and quickly rushed to the carriage, "Which brother is on the boat, please show up and say hello!"
"Whew!" replied with a blinding cold light. An iron axe suddenly flew up from the bow of the ship, and with a cold wind, it struck him in front of the door.
"Ah——!h He saw the blade of the axe pass close to his forehead, splashing a dazzling red.
A sharp pain enveloped him, making it almost impossible for him to sit firmly on horseback. However, he forced himself to sit up straight, raised his horizontal knife in his hand, and shouted the order: "Take the boat, take the boat, no matter what, leave the carriage!"
Without his command, the elite cavalry also knew that something was wrong with the big ship that came to meet them. They jumped off their mounts and swarmed up the trestle.
At the same time, more than a dozen Jianghu people also roared and rushed from the deck of the big ship to the carriage. On the narrow and dilapidated trestle bridge, he fought to the death with the cavalry led by Li Wenfeng.
The number of their group was far less than the elite cavalry under Guo Yunming's. The sophistication of armor and weapons is far inferior. However, they are all brave and brave, and they would rather die than retreat. In a short period of time, he was inseparable from the cavalry.
"Little Fat ——! Little Fat ——!" The man who attacked Guo Yunming with an axe did not participate in the fight. Instead, he carried another black iron axe and went straight to the carved wooden door of the carriage.
"It's a thief in Wagangzhai! Shoot arrows, block the car door with arrows, and shoot whoever comes close first!" Guo Yunming recognized the identity of the axe wielder at a glance and made a decision immediately. "Wang Xiuwu, don't squeeze on the trestle. Lead your brothers to block the car door with bows and arrows, and whoever gets close to the car door will shoot whoever is the first to die!!Han Peng, you go over and cut the cable. I'd rather let them fall into the hands of the Khitans than let them get on the boat and escape!"
These tricks can not be described as non-toxic. Soon, more than a dozen elite cavalrymen who were blocked on the shore and could not come forward to fight, took their bows and arrows from their horses, and shot indiscriminately around the trestle to the car door, forcing Yu Siwen, who was holding an axe, to retreat again and again. The commanding envoy Han Peng personally carried a steel knife, came to the tethered horse stake, and slashed at the cable.
"Woohoo, Woohoo, Woooo!" Although the thick rope soaked in grease was strong, it could not stop the steel knife. After only three or two clicks, it was divided into two. The big boat tied to the other end of the cable "squeaked", made a **, and floated down the river bank.
This time, the heroes on the trestle have become trapped beasts in a cage. If you want to retreat, there is the rolling Yellow River behind you. If you want to enter, the front is an elite cavalry several times your own. Around, there are more than two dozen horn bows, which can be triggered but not fired, and they can be thrown away at any time.
"Han Peng, you take someone to chase the big ship!" Guo Yunming quickly arranged the aftermath measures, and then turned his bloody face to Yu Siwen, the sixth master of Wagang, with a cold light in his eyes, "Surrender, tell me who is behind the scenes, and I will give you a good time." Otherwise, no one will want to leave the whole corpse today!"
"Phew!" Yu Siwen had already conceived the heart of death, and spit out a mouthful of blood at him, "It's a pity that Lao Tzu's axe just now didn't kill you directly!"
"I'll give you three more breaths!" Guo Yunming raised his right hand and stretched out three fingers. The other party is a bandit from Wagangzhai, and it is impossible to know his detailed evacuation route. Unless, unless he and Han Pu are beside him, there is still a pair of sinister eyes hidden.
And this fine work can't belong to a certain green forest cottage, only possible, it belongs to several other festival envoys with heavy troops. Fu Yanqing, Li Shouzhen, Du Chongwei, Gao Xingzhou.....
No matter who it is, they don't want to succeed, because there is someone Guo here.
"One ——!" Guo Yunming took a deep breath, and then began to count with a long sound, like a cat, playing with a mouse that fell under control.
"Phew!" Yu Siwen, the sixth leader, Li Wanting, the seventh leader, and several other brothers gave up the fight and retreated side by side, spitting at him in unison. "Dog thief, when we run out, we will borrow a knife to kill people, and you and your master will thunder sooner or later!"
"Okay! Guo admires a good man!" I didn't expect a few thieves to be so hard-boned, Guo Yunming was annoyed and ashamed, and on his fair face, he instantly overflowed with murderous aura, "Someone ....... come"
"Wait!" Suddenly, there was a thud from the carriage. Immediately after, the door of the car, which was full of arrows, was forcefully pushed open from the inside. The young man Xiaofei held an iron railing that had just been removed, his face was full of helplessness, "I remember, I am the second prince Shi Yanbao." A few of them ......"
Supporting his body with an iron railing, he used his free right hand to pass over the faces of Yu Siwen, Li Wanting and other Wagang heroes. "The two of them are my guards and commanders, and the rest are my personal guards. On that day, the Khitan soldiers came to the city, so they put on makeup and hid in Wagang Mountain under my cover. Guo Changshi, I order you as the assassin of Zhengzhou, you are not allowed to hurt them!"
Note 1: At this moment, the Yellow River has not yet become a hanging river on the ground, and the water flow is far more abundant than it is now. Most of the river is navigable.
