As he spoke, seven or eight Assassins had already chased him into the woods. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info saw that Zhao Kuangyin was carrying an injury on his back and was unable to move. Immediately screamed and threw herself at him.
"Zhao Gongzi just go, I'll deal with them!" Han Chongyun shouted and led the three personal soldiers to turn around and face the battle. Zheng Ziming and Hu Yanzan had already run away, worried that Han Chongyun would be outnumbered, so they also turned around and killed back. The Assassins who chased into the woods were outnumbered and unprotected by poisoned arrows, and were suddenly revealed. A few flicked their fingers, and most of them were killed, and the remaining three headed rats ran away.
Seeing this, the other two Assassins, who were about to burrow into the woods, immediately stopped and began to look left and right. A small group of archers chased them to the edge of the woods, and fired two rounds indiscriminately into it, and now the arrows were either crooked by the branches, or when they hit the trunk of the tree, they also hung down their horned bows.
"Try to go to a dense place in the forest, but don't go too far!" Taking advantage of the Assassins' confusion, Zheng Ziming quickly glanced around and adjusted his own tactics.
The Assassins were numerous and had a good martial arts, but they were very unfamiliar with each other. It is clear that there was no serious military training. Referring to the previous experience of suppressing bandits in Zezhou and Luzhou, the performance of the assassins was also very different from that of the "heroes" of Taihang Mountain. In this way, the true identity of this group of assassins is about to be revealed. Nine times out of ten, a certain strong Zhuang Ding, driven by his master, is ready to kill the new defense envoy, so that the strong can continue to cover the sky with one hand in the place!
"The local soldiers and horses are counting on it, and the generals who lead the team must have a tacit understanding with those guys outside the forest!" Han Chongyun's reaction was not much slower than Zheng Ziming's, and soon, based on his previous experience in Zelu and Luzhou, he came to a conclusion that was not too amazing.
Such a large-scale assassination was actually born in the Jieguan Pavilion only ten miles away from Cangzhou City. The local defenders could not have been dissented. If you don't get it right, some of the Assassin leaders are from the defenders. The principals in the defenders had either been bought off by the people behind the Assassins, or had been secretly instructed by a certain force.
"The defenders can't count on it, and if they flee, the end will definitely be death! A certain big family in this place may have already become a soil emperor that no one can afford to provoke. Although Pan Mei has never participated in the war in Zelu and Luzhou, her eyes are as keen as Zheng Ziming and Han Chongyun. "We can't count on the brothers we brought from Lijiazhai. Even if someone can break through and send a warning signal, Tao Dachun will rush here with them, and it will be a day and a night later. β
"Then kill, kill a bloody way!" Zhao Kuangyin didn't know when, he had already put Yang Guangyi in a clearing deep in the forest, and returned alone to pick up everyone. Hearing Pan Mei's words, he immediately proposed loudly. "It's not like we haven't done it before. As long as the opponent's poisonous arrow can't be wielded, it may not be known who will kill the deer!"
"This ......" The teenagers first muttered in a low voice, and soon, they continued to nod their heads.
The big guys are just at the time when the newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. was originally unwilling to be chased and killed all the way to the end like a sheep. And the previous experience of casting it vaguely made them realize that what Zhao Kuangyin said was probably the only solution.
Their main forces could not arrive in time, and the other forces around them were difficult to distinguish between friend and foe. The only way for the big guy to survive is to defeat the assassins outside the forest head-on and make an example.
Intercepting and killing an official of the imperial court is a serious crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan. Once the "assassins" outside the forest are defeated, it will be difficult for the main messenger behind them to organize another private army of the same size in a short period of time.
In addition, those forces with ill intentions around them will also make judgments at the fastest level, and the strength of the two sides is not at the same level at all. Even if they join forces, there is no chance of winning!
"Second brother is right, we can only survive in death today!" After a moment of silence, Zheng Ziming smiled at the big guy and arranged in a low voice, "Brother Han, please select ten brothers and be on guard here!" Once the assassins attack again, immediately fight and retreat, and lead them to the depths of the forest!"
"Okay, just leave it to me!" Han Chongyun immediately nodded in agreement, not feeling that there was anything wrong with accepting Zheng Ziming's command.
"Brother Huyan, sister Huyan, please take your two cronies and collect the feather arrows in the forest. Find a few more trees and make a few wooden bows temporarily. You don't need to be too lethal to deter the other side!The next task for the two of you is to harass the enemy with arrows so that they can't judge our true movements. Zheng Ziming smiled at him again, turned around, and continued to arrange in a low voice while striding towards Yang Guangyi.
The two brothers and sisters of the Huyan clan originally came to repay Zheng Ziming's favor, and of course they would not resist accepting the dispatch of "Engong" even more. He also arched his hand vigorously and silently went to the task.
"Pan Mei, you will choose a conspicuous place in the depths of the forest and put up our banner. Then take a few people to guard the flag and attract the attention of the enemy!" "Three steps and two steps came to Yang Guangyi's side, lowered his head, and examined the wound.
"Obey!" Pan Mei frowned slightly and took the order.
Zheng Ziming used Yang Guangyi's own horizontal knife to cut open this person's clothes. first lowered his head and smelled the smell of the wound, and then, he stood up and looked around a few times, and decisively pulled out a few grass roots from a relatively sparse place with trees, peeled off the skin, and selected a small section of each, and stuffed it into Yang Guangyi's mouth. Immediately after, he took out another fire fold and lit it, and quickly passed it to the wound.
"Hissββ, hiss-" Yang Guangyi was sweating in pain, but he refused to speak loudly for the sake of face, gritted his teeth and inhaled the cool air.
"Shunzi, come here, I'll leave it to you!" Saving the wounded in his hand, what Zheng Ziming said was something else entirely, "You are average in martial arts, so you are responsible for ambulating the injured." You cut these herbs and feed them to the wounded. Then, as I did, tie the rope over the injured area, and finally, bake the wound with a fire fold. It's just some poison of plants and trees, which has long been used up, and a little treatment can turn the danger into a disaster!"
"Obey!" Li Shun'er was stunned with admiration, trembling to take the fire fold from Zheng Ziming's hand, and trembling to deal with Yang Guangyi's wound.
His technique was too rusty, making Yang Guangyi's face twitch in pain, and his body twisted around like a fish on the shore. However, the blood from the wound turned from black to dark red and then to pink.
"This, this, what a miracle!"
"National player, really national player!"
"Assassin of the dog day, this time you have met your nemesis!"
"Destroy them and eliminate the evil for the people......"
Seeing Zheng Ziming's understatement, it made the poisoned arrow, which was the biggest threat to the big guys, useless. The rest of the people were immediately encouraged, and whoever was appointed accepted the task willingly.
And time is pressing, Zheng Ziming can't arrange the tactics too carefully, and after a little arrangement, he set his eyes on Zhao Kuangyin again, "Second brother, the rest of the things depends on the two of us." You and I will ...... each other in a moment."
"Woo woo, woo woo, woo woo, woo woo ......" An anxious horn sounded completely covering his last half of his sentence.
The Assassin commander became impatient, gathered all his men together, and launched a storming into the woods. With the sound of horns, he first shot a few rounds of meaningless poisoned arrows, and then divided into several teams to drive straight in.
The total number of the teenagers is only one-tenth of theirs; the teenagers have just arrived, and they have both life and earth; the teenagers have neither dangerous places to rely on as barriers, nor any reinforcements; but they occupy the right time, the right place, and the right people!
"Pass the order, kill Zheng Ziming, reward a manor, 500 acres of land, 100 buckets of salt. The rest of the targets, one hundred for each field, and fifty for refined salt!" A well-known commander in iron armor and a red cloak on his back, followed behind the largest group of "assassins", striding and giving orders without stopping.
The weather is good, and it's a good time to kill people. Since someone wants to meddle in Cangzhou without knowing whether they are alive or dead, Cangzhou Jia has the obligation to let him know what it is called, and it is difficult for a strong dragon to suppress the head snake!
Note 1: Poison arrow wood is not produced in northern China, so poison is often used in weapons, mostly using aconitum or pit viper venom. There are shortcomings such as difficult acquisition and preservation, unstable performance, and slow effect. Therefore, it is rarely used on a large scale in war. There are also many prescriptions in TCM texts to deal with this type of poisoning.
