Chapter 156 of the Western Wilderness Scroll
"Brother Xiao!" Xiao Qi felt that someone was shaking his shoulders, shaking away the little sleepiness he had left.
At this time, it was not yet dawn, he opened his eyes, in the dim sky, Mu Changsheng's whole face was leaning in front of him, and the two eyes in front of him were so big that he was startled, and his body contracted unconsciously.
Mu Changsheng saw that Xiao Qi was awake, and he didn't notice Xiao Qi's eyes looking at him coldly as if he was about to kill, so he hurriedly went to wake up Gu Wanyi and Xiaoxi again.
"Don't sleep, don't sleep! they're already gone!"
Everyone hurriedly turned over and looked in the direction of the sand dune. More than a dozen carriages set off slowly from the dunes, most of them behind a wooden box sealed by wooden planks on all sides, and it was impossible to see what was inside. This is not so much a carriage as a cage. And outside the cages of more than ten carriages, there were two hundred soldiers on both sides of the train fleet, swords and halberds standing outward.
"Where is Brother Sheng?" Gu Wanyi squinted her eyes and scanned the carriages one by one. Mu Changsheng scratched his head and said, "I can't see it clearly, and the people who come out of the secret passage cover their upper bodies with sacks, and I can't see ......."
Xiao Qi was afraid that Gu Wanyi would make some drastic moves, so he hurriedly moved away and said to Xiaoxi: "You find a place to hide, and wait for us to come back to you!"
After that, Xiao Qi beckoned Mu Changsheng and Gu Wanyi to join him, distance himself from the convoy on the other side of the sand dune, and quietly parallel to it on the other side of the sand dune.
Perhaps taking into account the speed of the guards on both sides, this train fleet was not moving fast, so Xiao Qi and the three of them could easily follow. It's just that looking at the direction of the convoy at present, Xiao Qi can't guess where they are heading at all. They seemed to be heading northeast, getting farther and farther away from the city of Shajiang.
Gu Wanyi, who had been at the forefront, suddenly frowned and said, "That's not right. As she spoke, she suddenly leaned down and touched the dust on the ground with both hands.
"What?" Xiao Qi was a little puzzled. But he and Mu Changsheng quickly noticed that the sound of the horse's hooves was gradual, and although the vibration of the horse's hooves on the ground was much smoothed by the scattered sand and dust, there was sand and dust on the sand dunes in front of them that slid and collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Someone. Xiao Qi and the three of them hurriedly leaned down, and saw a pair of centaurs galloping from a distance. Looking forward from Xiao Qi's position, the vast desert under the morning light seemed vast, the convoy was like insects crawling slowly on a huge earthy yellow painting, and the cavalry rushing out was like a sharp blade, cutting off the picture completely.
The cavalry came out from the rear of the ranks, all wearing black veils, and took advantage of the higher terrain of the dunes to rush down, and plunged into the formation of the heavy armor, and even the first few horsemen crashed directly into the last carriage of the convoy, slashing and slashing off a corner of the carriage.
The heavy armor of the guards reacted quickly, and the halberds turned around and stabbed at the incoming cavalry. However, the horses at the front of the convoy were suddenly frightened, panicked at the sound of soldiers, and rushed forward in a panic dragging the carriage behind them.
The heavy armoured soldiers moved clumsily, meeting the enemy backwards, but the out-of-control carriages moved forward, and before they could react, the first few cars had already rushed out of the covering atmosphere of the heavy armoured soldiers on both sides, and galloped on the vast sand dunes.
The entire convoy was cut off by the heavily armored soldiers who had reorganized the formation, and less than a hundred cavalrymen rushed out, and the heavy armoured soldiers quickly resisted the momentum of the advance and also blocked the convoy that tended to be chaotic. The heavy armoured men relied on their heavy and sturdy armor to form a formation, allowing the out-of-control chariots and cavalry to onslaught.
Xiao Qi's eyes always fell on the few fleeing carriages, and he always felt that the intention of rushing out of a team of drunkards was not to drink. He thought about it for a while, beckoned Mu Changsheng and motioned for him to stay and pay attention to the movement here, and then pursued the carriages in front of him with Gu Wanyi.
Each cart was dragged by two horses, the wheels turning rapidly and picking up patches of dust. Xiao Qi's pace was already difficult to keep up, Gu Wanyi simply supported him to fly, and the paper kite flew in the sky, paying attention to the carriage scurrying in front of him from a distance.
At this moment, three or four miles away from here, there were four people standing on their horses. There were several raised sand dunes separated from the battlefield, and the wind was so strong that they couldn't even hear the slightest sound, but they all looked in the direction of the battlefield. In the sky, the eagle-like figure gradually flew away.
"General Suo, it seems to have begun over there. It's just that the number of dead soldiers cultivated in Di Yunhao's mansion is probably too small, right? There are enough guards for 200 heavy armor soldiers. Liu Huan asked with some concern.
Suo Pingzhang just smiled: "It's good if there are fewer people, it's best that none of these dozens of people survive today, otherwise I'm afraid there will be a curse today." ”
Such a calm and resolute tone made Liu Huan's heart sink. Suo Pingzhang didn't say much, just stood silently riding his horse.
"General, don't we have to send someone to follow these carriages in front?" asked Liu Huan.
"It was specially left for them to take care of. Someone is chasing behind, and the driver doesn't dare to go straight back to the lair, our purpose is to surround this group of heavy armor soldiers. ”
Liu Huan didn't know who "they" were, but felt that Suo Pingzhang seemed to be quite mysterious, so he was obediently silent.
Xiao Qi and Gu Wanyi kept staring at the strings of sand and carriages in front of them. They were flying in the air at this time, and the people on the ground were no different from targets, but Gu Wanyi didn't care at all.
Regardless of whether these guys in front of her can take themselves to find the location of Dark Feather, she only has Zhang Sheng's shadow in her eyes. Out of some obsession, she inexplicably believed that Zhang Sheng was in the carriage in front of her.
She flew lower and lower, almost grazing against the ground, Xiao Qi sensed Gu Wanyi's thoughts, and shouted twice, Gu Wanyi didn't reply, just took him down from the air and quickly approached the cars. He was silent, and stood by with his spear in hand. In the wind, he faintly heard his own sigh.
"Leave this to me. When Gu Wanyi was about to sweep over the carriage, Xiao Qi said indifferently. Gu Wanyi was stunned, but she quickly let go of Xiao Qi as she said, let him fall on the top of the last carriage, and rushed to the next carriage herself.
Xiao Qi planned to roll on the roof of the car to eliminate the impact of the fall, but unexpectedly, the seemingly solid roof was like paper paste, and his whole body sank.
He was still in mid-air after falling into the carriage, and there was already a chill in his eyes. Xiao Qi's first reaction subconsciously was not to dodge, but to shout: "Trap!"
Before he could finish speaking, the sword light had swept to his ribs. He forced his way in the air, and the spear swept around the narrow space, and at a cursory test, there were four or five blades in the carriage!
Xiao Qi finally took advantage of the gap swept by the spear and landed on the ground. With the light coming through the hole in the roof, he saw four people around him moving closer to him.
He Shen Yan shot and unleashed, but Shen Yan's shooting was not good at team battles, these four people were all good players, with one enemy and four, he fell behind in an instant. In the small space, his spear was thus restricted, and he fled almost in a hurry under the fire of the other four, ducking from the four corners of the carriage with his short body.
Seeing that he was about to be defeated, Xiao Qi suddenly dodged the slash of a person in front of him from top to bottom, and the whole person pounced to the left and slammed into the wall.
This action can be described as crude and useless in the eyes of several other people, it is more like he was desperate and wanted to commit suicide by hitting the wall, but unexpectedly, Xiao Qi's collision, the carriage of the integrated carriage began to fall apart, the sunlight penetrated through the gaps, and the wooden planks around the integrated carriage melted like ice cubes, scattered and crumbled!
Before they could react, they had already fallen to the sand. The four of them struggled to get up from the sand, looking at Xiao Qi incredulously, but saw that in addition to his right hand carrying a gun, he also held a dagger in his left hand.
Xiao Qi had already taken out the broken soul when he landed in the carriage, and when he fled in a panic, he deliberately slashed the broken soul on the four walls and the bottom. With the sharpness of the blade, it could be effortlessly submerged, and the entire carriage was corroded under his indiscriminate cutting, and soon fell apart.
Xiao Qi's expression was as cold as a knife, and he slowly approached. On the other side, Gu Wanyi's face was very ugly, her wings puffed out and slowly fell, and behind her, two carriages fell horizontally, and the people in ambush inside were crawling out with difficulty. With Xiao Qi's warning in advance, and Gu Wanyi's dexterity and ability to fly, their trap naturally couldn't trap her, so they flew to the side and rolled the golden poison into the wheel, and easily put down the other two carriages one after another. However, in this mess, she didn't see the person she wanted to see the most.
The murderous intent on her face was all over her face, and almost at the same time as Xiao Qi, she took a step forward.
......
Suo Pingzhang looked at one of the attendants who was returning quickly, and asked indifferently: "What's going on over there?" If it is cleaned up, they should hurry up and follow, after the attack, they should hurry back to the lair." ”
"Back to the general, over there...... Something quirky. ”
Suo Pingzhang was obviously surprised, and rode forward to the top of the sand dune and looked at the war group. I saw that the two hundred heavily armored soldiers not only killed the dozens of dead soldiers who rushed out, but also showed a tendency to rout, shrinking their formation under the impact.
"What's ......going on," Liu Huan, who came up, covered his mouth in surprise, "It turns out that the combat power of the dead soldiers raised by Di Yunhao is so strong. ”
"No, if they were really defeated by the cavalry, their defensive formation would have collapsed long ago, but although they seemed to be losing and retreating, the formation was extremely disciplined and stronger. They...... Like what are you waiting for......" Suo Pingzhang frowned and groaned with some concern.
He suddenly remembered something, his face changed slightly, but he quickly recovered, and asked, "Are these dead soldiers reliable?"
"Back to the generals, they were all secretly cultivated through the Xiaohou Mansion, and they have never heard of the world, and this time I was directly transferred by the order of the head of the Xiaohou Mansion, and I should have no understanding of the general. ”
Suo Pingzhang raised his eyebrows after hearing this, and asked with a smile: "So, they think it was Di Yunhao's order?"
Liu Huan showed a smug smile: "Yes, and I deliberately arranged for a few people to mix in it, even if someone is captured alive, the dead would rather die than move, this dirty water can be splashed on Di Yunhao." ”
Suo Pingzhang glanced at Liu Huan with a little surprise and said, "You still have some brains. ”
Liu Huan smiled and wanted to pretend to be polite, but met Suo Pingzhang's elusive gaze.
"But next time, if there is something to hide from Suo, you should know......" Suo Pingzhang stopped smiling, and didn't look at Liu Huan's expression, turned around, and said: "You guys go back quickly, don't leave any traces, I'll run by myself." ”
