Chapter 85: Unfriendly Soldiers and Civilians
He froze: "The current leader of the army, is it Zhong Shengguang or General Hong?" ”
What kind of problem is this? The guards were a little surprised, and one of them said: "All battles and battles are presided over by General Hong." "It's not a secret, everyone knows it, but the person in front of him is really behaving more and more strangely, and he should be put together and interrogated.
Thinking so, the last guard turned and ran backwards to move the rescuers.
He Lingchuan saw it in his eyes, and he didn't pay attention to it, but only said to everyone: "If you stand here, I will release you in half an hour; Otherwise, take the corpse of your companion with you. ”
He was sure that this move would be good for the Blackwater City army, but the guards in front of him glanced at each other, and although they hesitated, they followed suit, and they were not threatened by him at all.
The captive said with difficulty: "Kill me, and they won't let you go!" ”
He Lingchuan looked around, this hilly area was undulating, low shrubs could not hide, and the nearest village was four or five hundred zhang away.
Worst of all, the peasants at the canal saw that the guards were subdued by him and jumped into the water to chase after them.
Now he is the enemy on his back.
You can't stay here for long, you have to find a way out of it. Thinking of this, he grabbed the captive and moved towards the canal.
Fortunately, the captive was thin and small, and He Lingchuan had a lot of strength, so he directly dragged him upside down and trotted.
The canal was built to divert water for irrigation, and it was estimated to be early summer at this time, and the water potential was still a little turbulent. He Lingchuan set his eyes on the small wooden boat tied to the side of the canal.
If you can go down the river, you can run much faster than a human leg.
Either way, let's get rid of these pursuers first.
He ran out of forty or fifty feet like this, and although the guards refused to stand, they still cherished the lives of their companions in the end, and did not dare to rush up to get people.
At this time, the sound of horses' hooves was suddenly heard, and more than ten cavalry turned out of the mountain pass. Looking at the costumes, He Lingchuan is very familiar:
Gale Army!
There are even the rangers of the Gale Army here, which is really a beep.
He Lingchuan didn't want to be taken prisoner, so he cut him in the leg with his hand, then pushed the person out, and ran away reflexively.
Two legs can't run on four legs, and he can't afford to carry another burden.
Luckily, it's not far from the aqueduct.
He Lingchuan ran wildly, it was really a lightning speed, and he jumped directly into the canal with the momentum of rushing forward, and cut the rope of the tie boat with a knife. The wooden boat was pushed by the canal water and slowly swung away.
The sound of hooves was getting closer, and it was clear that the cavalry was also sprinting. He was too slow, so he bent down and pushed the boat.
At this moment, an alarm suddenly appeared in my heart.
He didn't have time to think about it, rolled forward, and fell directly into the boat.
This posture was a standard dog-eater, but it was ugly and ugly, and it still saved his life, because in the next second, two feathered arrows were shot, one hit the column of the leash, and entered the wood for three points, and one crossed the wooden stack and shot straight into the water.
If he remains in place, he will either be pierced through his throat or through his heart, and he will not end well.
However, He Lingchuan's movements were too big, and the hull of the boat was too narrow, and he was directly turned over by him with such a pounce.
"......" He Dashao silently recited the three-character scripture seven or eight times.
How?
With his arm strength, of course, he could have turned the ship right, but the cavalry was like a wolf, and by this time it was probably already pounced on the edge of the ditch. Even if he sailed down the river, at most he would get rid of the guards and peasants, and the cavalry would still be like glue to him, and he would not give up until he found an opportunity to drag him up.
Besides, there are people who take the time to shoot cold arrows, and he is sitting in the boat, is he a standard live target?
To be honest, the moment he recognized the Gale Army, he knew that running away was the way to go.
That is, after three or five breaths, the cavalry rushed to the ditch first.
The terrain of the Chipa Plateau is special, and large troops cannot climb up, but there are often agile scouts who sneak in, inquire about military intelligence everywhere, and poison and assassinate. Therefore, the people of Panlong City hate the meticulous work, and they can't help but say that they will be beaten half to death, as long as the spy can still have one breath left when he goes to the camp, he will never blame him.
They swirled their weapons and were about to throw them as javelins.
This hand, the He family has seen it in the Panlong Deserted City, and even Sun Fuping's enchantment has been crumbling. Now it seems that it is the regular skills of the Gale Army, and everyone learns it.
But when they reached the edge of the ditch, they looked down and were stunned.
There was only one wooden boat in the canal, and it was moving down the river with the bottom facing the sky, and the speed was actually quite fast. At first glance, the spy is gone.
The water is so clear that you can't even hide the fish and shrimp, let alone a big living person.
One of the horsemen suddenly stretched out his hand and said, "Look, he's hiding under the boat!" ”
As soon as everyone bowed their heads, a small half figure was revealed under the boat-
The boy actually curled up under the ship and moved with the hull.
One of the cavalrymen shot his spear very crisply, and with a "tuk" he pierced the bottom of the ship. But the boat still drifted forward, and there was no blood coming out of the boat, apparently not hitting the enemy.
The cavalry was so angry that he cursed.
The bottom of the boat is round, and it is impossible for them to jump.
He Lingchuan used the entire ship as a shield, and the upside-down cabin was filled with air, enough to support him to breathe freely for a long time.
The other person was underwater, and he was blocked by the boat, and the shooters on the shore could not do anything about him.
Now he was curled up in the boat, his feet pedaling at the bottom of the canal, and pushing the wooden boat down the river as fast as he could, and as fast as he could.
Under the combined action of water and manpower, the ship really accelerated, and in a blink of an eye, the infantry was left behind, and only the cavalry could still chase closely.
In this way, more than 1,000 zhang went down the river.
He Lingchuan had already calmed his heartbeat and breath, and before he could think of a countermeasure, he had already secretly said that something was wrong.
He couldn't see the shore, he didn't know where he was drifting. The most troublesome thing is that he can feel that the water level is falling.
In other words, the water in the canal became less and less, and it was no longer turbulent, and the boat could not float any further, and he had to face the cavalry on the shore.
What should I do?
In the past, these canals were densely packed in the countryside, and bridges were built every distance to prevent pedestrians from passing through. Thinking of this, his heart moved, he reached to the bottom of the boat and touched it, grabbed the spear and pulled it out vigorously.
Then he went out from the side of the boat to observe the situation outside the ditch.
The bad news is that those cavalry are still in hot pursuit, and He Lingchuan just looked at it and gained a few cold looks. One of the pursuers also turned out a bow and arrow from behind, which frightened He Lingchuan and quickly shrank his head.
The good news is that there are buildings scattered on both sides of the waterway, and there are either villages or towns ahead!
As long as it wasn't an empty plain, the success rate of his escape was greatly increased.
He Lingchuan already had a plan in his heart, calculated the speed of the water flow in advance, put the boat close to the edge of the canal, and suddenly let go and squatted.
The boat happened to flow under a wooden bridge again.
It was about noon, the sun was shining in the center, and the shadow of the wooden bridge was perpendicular to the water.
Then the boat drifted away from under the bridge, as it always did.
The cavalry did not suspect that it continued to move forward, chasing the wooden boats in the water.
