Chapter 3 Killing Zhao Cheng

readx;?? Perhaps, if it weren't for this battle with Zhao Cheng, Zhang Jiashi would never have known that some things would happen in advance. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info.vd.m

Similarly, if it weren't for this battle with Zhao Cheng, Zhang Jiashi would have missed Xiao Lori, who fled north in a hurry because he saw Hu Hai killing Yingzheng. The same lost fate that silenced him, but had to make up his mind to do something.

It can be said that Zhang Jiashi, who doesn't know what happened after the future, is still facing a fierce battle with Zhao Cheng and the dead soldiers of Zhao Mansion.

......

Zhao Cheng, he resented Zhang Jiashi, who appeared out of thin air and completely shattered his brother Zhao Gao's calculations.

In fact, he doesn't like Ying Lian, the only person he loves is the poor wife who has been poisoned by Zhao Gao.

He hated Zhao Gao, hated himself, and also hated Zhang Jiashi and many people who had something to do with this matter.

Perhaps, if Zhang Jiashi knew that Zhao Cheng had already been distorted because of his childhood situation, Zhang Jiashi would say directly: "You *** is an unreasonable pervert, you think so, you have something to do with me?!"

Perhaps, Zhao Cheng himself has thought about this, but Zhao Cheng, who is already mourning like death, just wants Zhang Jiashi, the general Zuo who seems to have infinite scenery, to die under his sword.

In order to do this, Zhao Cheng led a team of more than 100 elite dead soldiers trained by him personally, and followed the team of the Eastern Tour from afar, waiting for the opportunity to attack.

This is not to say that Daqin's Zhonglang Legion is incompetent, but these dead soldiers, each of whom has at least the strength of the Zhonglang Commander or even the Commander, and is proficient in assassination and latent skills.

In this case, unless there are a large number of troops to search and arrest, otherwise, it is quite difficult to find these people just by the vigilance of the cavalry lieutenants.

Compared with Zhang Jiashi, who can be regarded as a road idiot without a map, Zhao Cheng, who had been prepared for a long time, asked these assassins to carry out the road that Zhang Jiashi could pass in groups of five to carry out an assassination attempt.

He didn't expect Zhang Jiashi to be assassinated by these five people, these peripheral groups were more just delaying Zhang Jiashi's footsteps.

Although he didn't know what Zhang Jiashi's strength was, Zhang Jiashi's spells that no one had ever seen at all made him have to be afraid.

Zhao Cheng's elder brother, Zhao Gao, as one of the top ten masters of Great Qin, and the strongest dual cultivation of law and martial arts, he knew very well how difficult it was to deal with people who cultivated both law and martial arts. Moreover, Zhang Jiashi's martial arts strength still has a pretty good foundation, and Zhao Cheng alone wants to win Zhang Jiashi, and the difficulty is not ordinary.

Of course, Zhang Jiashi's personal guards, except for Shusun Zhong and Shusun Ji, two intermediate or senior swordsmen whose strength is well-known in Xianyang, other personal guards can face those assassins alone, even if their strength is good.

Of course, what Zhao Cheng wanted to do was to kill Zhang Jiashi, so he also deliberately equipped twenty Qin Army's seven-stone pouting crossbows to use as a killing.

It can be said that in Zhao Cheng's heart, Zhang Jiashi has only a dead end.

Of course, he also didn't know what happened next.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

Zhang Jiashi took his personal guards and took the road to Julu County overnight, then went north to Guangyang County, and turned back to Dingxiang City. This is the fastest path in the minds of many people.

However, after deliberation, Zhang Jiashi, who chose this path, could not have known that someone would be ambushed in this road.

After passing a small road on the plains, Zhang Jiashi entered the narrow passage between the two valleys.

Several groups of assassin dead soldiers who were ambushed near this area had already spotted Zhang Jiashi and his party, who were advancing overnight with torches.

They were also prepared, planning to take advantage of Zhang Jiashi's unpreparedness to directly raid Zhang Jiashi, and then succeed.

But these assassins, even Zhao Cheng, overlooked one point, which was that Hongyun was a high-level half-blood demonic beast, and her father was one of the kings of hell.

Red Cloud, who has inherited most of the nightmare bloodline, is no different from night and day.

If Zhang Jiashi didn't know this, he wouldn't mind running back to Julu County in the dark.

Those assassins were indeed quite well hidden, but such a hiding ability was not enough to prevent Red Cloud from discovering it.

Hongyun slowed down slowly, avoiding a sudden stop and throwing Zhang Jiashi off his horse. However, a few of the guards couldn't react, and suddenly stopped their mounts, only to be thrown more than ten meters in front by inertia.

If it weren't for the good skills of these guards, many people directly supported the soft soil on the ground with their hands and did a front flip with their strength to avoid being thrown half to death.

Zhang Jiashi didn't have time to applaud the beautiful movements of these guards, but silently looked at the mountains and forests on both sides of the narrow road where he couldn't see the situation clearly.

First of all, he ruled out the possibility of encountering a beast attack.

A herd of beasts capable of attacking more than a hundred people, it is impossible to be so silent. Moreover, Zhang Jiashi also did not see those situations where at night, his eyes would emit a little light because of his physiological structure.

Obviously, someone was working against him this time.

Zhang Jiashi, who slowly put his hand on the bow and quiver, was vigilant about the situation ahead.

And Uncle Sun Zhong and Uncle Sun Ji also silently rode their horses to the left and right positions of Zhang Jiashi to protect Zhang Jiashi.

The enemy is in the dark and I am in the open, and this situation makes Zhang Jiashi himself very clear that it is very unfavorable for him.

However, Zhang Jiashi is not an ordinary seal mage, but a Taoist priest, and now Zhang Jiashi, who is not short of Taoist talismans, can be said to have the power to fight even in the face of top masters.

The two groups of assassins lurking in the middle of the narrow passage were silently waiting for Zhang Jiashi to enter the narrow passage. When they saw this, they were also a little strange, whether they were discovered by Zhang Jiashi.

However, because they were still more than 300 meters away from Zhang Jiashi's team, they couldn't see what Zhang Jiashi was doing now.

They didn't notice that Zhang Jiashi threw a few runes into the sky, and then turned into several human forms. After the figure landed on the ground, it reconnoitred at a considerable speed towards both sides of the mountain forest.

Of course, Zhang Jiashi knows how to use this simple spell, and in his Dao Sect, it is a tacit spell for this kind of spirit exorcist paper man.

Of course, it is not uncommon for some Daomen to use this kind of spell to pretend to be ghosts.

However, in such a situation, this kind of spirit exorcism paper man spell is more suitable than the grass dragonfly spell that Zhang Jiashi is used to.

After all, the grass dragonfly flying in the sky, not to mention the fact that in the dark night, it is quite difficult to see clearly, not to mention, the grass dragonfly does not see through, and it is impossible to see what is hidden under the dense canopy.

Zhang Jiashi is not the kind of person who does not know how to be flexible.

What method is most suitable, Zhang Jiashi will use it, this is Zhang Jiashi believes that after he came to this world, the biggest change has happened.

......

In less than a few minutes, Zhang Jiashi released several paper figures to see ten assassins lurking in trees or behind large rocks, covering their faces.

The reason why Zhang Jiashi thinks that these people are assassins, the most important thing is that these people cover their faces and carry weapons such as standard bows and crossbows, these people are not assassins, what else can they be?

Zhang Jiashi touched the tip of his nose and whispered to one of the crossbowmen in the guard, after describing the location of one of the assassins. The guard simply dismounted from his mount, removed an eight-stone pouting crossbow hanging on the side of his mount, and used his foot to prop open the crossbow arm and reload the crossbow.

When all this was done, the crossbowman of the personal guard, hesitating in the direction described by Zhang Jiashi, aimed at the area and shot the crossbow.

The crossbows that Zhang Jiashi equipped for the guards are not ordinary crossbowmen, and those used are of poor quality, but there is a high probability of recovering ordinary crossbows that can be used again.

Lacquered hardwood poles soaked in tung oil are equipped with forged and carved sharp iron Mitsubishi spike-shaped arrows, which can greatly improve the accuracy of crossbow arrows.

If it weren't for such an arrow, because it was very difficult to make, Zhang Jiashi planned to carry out large-scale installation, rather than only equipping it with a small number of senior officers and personal guard troops.

Of course, the pouting crossbow used by this personal guard is different from other standard crossbows in appearance, because Zhang Jiashi is equipped with a small number of elite personal guard crossbowmen, which is the kind of modified compound crossbow with Wangshan and aiming scale, rather than a simple Qin crossbow.

If it weren't for the limitation of raw materials and the problem of service life, Zhang Jiashi would have installed the mechanical transmitter of the Divine Arm Crossbow a long time ago.

Because of the problem of bronze gears, it can be said that the gear combination is quite unreliable, and it is extremely easy to scrap when used, so Zhang Jiashi gave up the physical combination of using a large number of gears.

Zhang Jiashi knows very well that solving this problem is not a matter of time and a half, but a long time, and it may not be solved.

Rubber as a buffer shaft point for gears is a problem that can effectively cause gear breakage, but with a high degree of metal wear, it is necessary to use either a very expensive edible oil or a lubricant refined from petroleum.

It can be said that Zhang Jiashi can't even think about the latter method now, before the real high-strength steel comes out, not to mention the refinery, I'm afraid it will be difficult to even do oil exploitation.

It can be said that unless it is a time traveler, Zhang Jiashi is very likely not to want to see finished petroleum products or even semi-finished products in his life.

As for crude oil, this thing is still very promising, after all, there are many places where oil has become a relatively small surface oil field because of crustal fluctuations.

Sometimes the word "one shovel down" may be able to produce oil, which refers to this thing.

Shen Kuo has a description of the surface oil field in "Dream Creek Writings":

"There is oil in Yan's territory,...... Out of the water, the sand and gravel are mixed with the spring water, and they come out in a melancholy. The native uses the pheasant's tail, which is quite similar to pure lacquer. It burned like hemp, but the smoke was so thick that it was black. If you suspect that its smoke can be used, try to sweep its ink as ink, the black light is like lacquer, and the loose ink is not as good. ”

Yan refers to the Yan'an area in later generations, of course, Zhang Jiashi now does not know whether there will be surface oil fields in that place now.

"Maybe there's a chance to check it out. Zhang Jiashi has such an idea.

......

Compared with Zhang Jiashi's calmness, the crossbow shot by the crossbowman of the personal guard, under the correction of many factors, directly hit the chest of an assassin.

Faced with this, the other four looked at the companion, and soon lost his movement after rolling over and falling to the ground, groaning in pain, covering the part of the arrow and twitching for a short time.

They don't know what this is.

They didn't know that there was a small paper figure on the dark ground, quietly "watching" them.

Perhaps, for them, Zhang Jiashi's attack this time was just a temptation. A minor leader of the Assassins, after a moment of contemplation, whispered, "Let's wait a little longer. ”

However, before the others could nod in response, in the eyes of the Assassin leader, what he saw was another dead soldier being shot directly through the thigh by another crossbow.

The Assassin was much tougher than the one he had been, and instead of groaning, he endured the pain and slashed the shaft of the crossbow with his sword, and then, with the help of another Assassin, pulled out another shaft that was almost entirely embedded in his thigh.

In fact, everyone else had to think that this companion was too tough. Because after pulling out the shaft of the arrow, he could still say nothing.

However, the Assassin leader was well aware that the Assassin had in fact fainted.

However, before the Assassin leader could say anything, he saw that the Assassin subordinate who was helping to draw the arrow was actually pierced through the head by a crossbow.

"We're exposed! Signal to the people in the back. ”

If at this time, at the cost of two deaths and one injury, it is not clear that Zhang Jiashi has discovered their assassin leader, and it is estimated that he can really invent a piece of tofu and kill him.

After the sound of some animal, Zhang Jiashi saw that the other group of assassins hiding on the right side of a mountain rock quickly rushed towards their location after the sound sounded.

Zhang Jiashi showed a contemptuous smile, and he said slowly: "They are coming, prepare for battle! ”

"Whoa!"

More than 30 crossbowmen of the guards either rode on their horses or dismounted from their mounts, wound their bows and crossbows, and aimed at the open area about 100 meters in front of the narrow road.

Of course, it's not that Zhang Jiashi doesn't want to find some reinforcements, but he knows very well that in this place where there is no store in front and no village in the back, it is difficult for him to find an ordinary person, let alone someone who can fight and help.

In the face of this situation, Zhang Jiashi, who knew that he could only rely on himself, would certainly not let go of such an opportunity.

Several of the Assassins quickly rushed to a position where Zhang Jiashi could see clearly, but Zhang Jiashi had not yet given the order to shoot, when he suddenly saw a group of knights rushing out from another section of the narrow passage below.

Seeing these people who were also masked, Zhang Jiashi even scolded his mother directly in his heart: "Your sister!

However, before Zhang Jiashi had time to think about this problem, he waved his hand down fiercely: "Shoot me!"

More than thirty arrows of crossbows and arrows were fired at the crossbowman's target, and some of the Assassins could not react at all, and several of them pierced their bodies.

Zhang Jiashi's personal guards used strong bows and crossbows of more than five stones, rather than various uneven bows and crossbows used by Zhang Jiashi's command according to their own strength.

Many of the Assassins were shot and quickly fell to the ground, groaning.

But soon they lost too much blood, and they didn't do anything to save themselves, and the pupils of their eyes were shiny and slowly disappeared, dim......

The remaining assassin, after seeing this scene, did not know what to do, because at a distance of only a hundred meters, it was not very difficult to dodge the concentrated fire of so many bows and arrows.

But he hesitated for a moment, because he was a dead man, not an ordinary person.

Of course, looking at this assassin who continued to rush over with weapons, Zhang Jiashi would not be so merciful.

Zhang Jiashi, who had already wound his bow and arrows, silently aimed at the position to the left of the assassin, and then shot the arrow in his hand.

Zhang Jiashi is betting on his luck, although the gift given to him by Meng Wu is a treasure bow, but the treasure bow that also has a limit of the rate of fire, the arrows shot may still be dodged.

In fact, whether an arrow can hit the opponent in this occasion is, in many senses, an experience of luck and strength.

Of course, Zhang Jiashi is not the same as a year ago, and he can't even moan a chicken when he shoots an arrow, so he simply stays still.

"......" Zhang Jiashi let go of his hand, listening to the small sound of the bowstring in his ears, what he saw was that the black shadow still fell directly to the ground.

Zhang Jiashi was a little puzzled, because he didn't seem to hear any screams, and he didn't see clearly what part he hit the other party.

But since the other party has fallen, Zhang Jiashi won't care too much.

Compared to this assassin who might play dead, Zhang Jiashi silently pulled out an arrow from the quiver next to Hongyun's left leg, put it on the bowstring, and slowly pulled it away.

While pulling away, Zhang Jiashi said slowly: "Aim for the narrow exit!"

"Whoa!"

More than thirty personal guard crossbowmen, under the order of Zhang Jiashi, aimed their arrows at the firing position.

......

The cry of an animal that I don't know what kind of animal it was was a contact arranged by Zhao Cheng. After all, in this world, there have long been various ways to transmit news with voice.

What they used to make this sound was a modified brass pipe, and if Zhang Jiashi saw this thing, he would be surprised and say, "Isn't this a whistle?"

However, Zhao Cheng didn't expect that his subordinates would pit him first.

That whistle is indeed a cue to attack. However, the situation was not at all what Zhao Cheng thought, because he clearly saw that Zhang Jiashi and the others had already lined up the arrow array, waiting for them to come out......

...
