Chapter 13 Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea
"It's been more than two months, and I wonder if I've arrived safely in the capital of the Great Moon Kingdom?" Lan Yusheng looked at the enemy troops under the black pressure and said worriedly.
Wei Zheng said, "Lai'er is talented, and has the protection of Dali and Rushe, and he is a good person, and he will be fine." It's just that it will not be easy to persuade the Great Moon Kingdom to send troops. ”
"I just hope he sends troops as soon as possible."
"Now we can only wait quietly."
"Why don't I go out of the pass and ask my father to send troops, maybe his men and horses will be faster, and when the time comes, the front and back will be able to break the siege?"
Wei Zheng said, "This is not a bad policy, but there are many bad lucks here, and the road is far away." If there's something missing......"
"That's it! I'm on my way! ”
Seeing that he couldn't stop it, Wei Zheng thought to himself that if he escaped, it would be better than suffering here, so he said, "I will gather all the generals to discuss a foolproof plan." ”
The two of them immediately ordered the scouts to order the generals to discuss in the council hall.
Wu Di said, "The golden body of the Holy Queen, how can you be in danger." In the previous battle, it was expected that Shen Rubin was also a straw bag, so it was better for me to lead the army to kill the generals! ”
Wei Zheng said, "No, Shen Rubin is a rare fierce general, and he is not alone in using soldiers, he just believed Xiang Minjian's words before." Now that the defense is tight, if you really want to fight, the odds of victory are not yet known. If the Xionglu Pan Kingdom takes the opportunity to sneak attack, we will die without a place to be buried. ”
"But let the holy queen put her life in danger, and the ministers are really uneasy." Wu Di said.
Lan Yusheng said, "I have made up my mind, you don't need to say much, it's decided." ”
Wei Zheng said, "Feng Buping, you go and select ten elite soldiers to accompany you to protect." ”
"Fight to the death for the ministers to ensure the integrity of the holy queen!" Feng Buping took the order.
Wei Zheng said again, "Wu Di, you lead 5,000 elite soldiers to rush to the camp and fight for cover." ”
"No" Wu Di took the order.
After the order, Wei Zheng took Lan Yusheng's hand and said, "Madame, be careful all the way, don't force it, be sure to come back." ”
"Don't worry, I'm in charge."
The two chatted while walking, and when they arrived at the East City Gate, Wu Di and Feng Buping had already led the army to wait there.
Wei Zheng pulled his wife and refused to let go for a long time. I don't know if it's right to let her go for help.
Lan Yusheng smiled, "You don't have to be so childlike, take care of your life, be sure to wait for me to come back!" ”
Wei Zheng had no choice but to say, "Madame, too, take care of your life!" Be sure to come back! ”
Lan Yusheng withdrew his hand, turned around and said, "Open the door!" ”
Wu Di led the army out of the city first and went straight to the camp of the counterinsurgency army. Lan Yusheng said goodbye to Wei Zheng, led ten elite soldiers, and galloped along the trail.
There was already a horse report and Shen Rubin, and Shen Rubin said, "Hmph! Just in time, this guy thought he was powerful before, and today he will kill his majesty! Shen Rupeng, you lead 20,000 elite soldiers, go and kill him without leaving a piece of armor, and bring other people's heads to see me! ”
The two armies set up positions in front of the battalion, and Wu Di said, "The previous killing was not happy enough, so you can all come to fight." lest your grandfather come to call for battle again and again. ”
"Don't be proud, you were treacherous in the previous time, and today let you taste Grandpa Shen Rupeng's methods! I won't deceive you that there are few people, let's go through the tricks first! "Shen Rupeng is proud of his strong martial arts, and he called Wu Di to fight alone.
Wu Di said in his heart, "The longer the time is delayed, the better, what I am waiting for is your words!" He carried an iron gun and drove the horse forward, "Come on, come on, since you want to die first, let the horse come over, and let your grandfather Wu Di teach you a few tricks!" ”
Shen Rupeng carried a double-edged beast swallowing a giant axe, and rushed towards Wu Di with a horse. The two rushed to the field, the two soldiers handed over, sparks shot everywhere, and the giant axe sank vigorously, smashing Wu Di's hands and mouth numb. Shen Rupeng saw that Wu Di had firmly caught his earth-shattering axe, and shouted, "Grandson is not bad, eat your grandfather's axe again!" Then he stopped the great axe and slashed it away.
Wu Di blocked again, and shouted, "Even if you have any tricks, your grandfather hasn't done his best!" ”
The two sides come and go, until the dust is flying, and the sky is dark.
The two armies saw it and shouted cheers one after another.
Shen Rubin stood on a high place and said in his heart, "My brother, I only care about fighting bravely, and when I meet an opponent, I have to fight." Completely disregarding the rules of war. ”
He called Xing Buyuan and Shang Wangshan, and ordered to go down like this.
The two were fighting to the point of excitement, when they suddenly heard a cannon sound, and two armies of men and horses rushed out from the left and right sides of the camp, and rushed straight to the army of Wangxiang Pass. Shen Rubin also carried the horse out of the middle gate, urging the men and horses in front of the battalion to attack.
Wu Di saw it and said angrily, "Okay, you Shen Rupeng, you actually came to Yin!" "I don't love to fight, I shake a shot, turn the horse's head and leave. Shen Rupeng was willing to let it go, and followed after him.
Wu Di's shout came well, leaned over and returned to the pistol, and went straight to Shen Rupeng's chest. Shen Rupeng's eyes were quick, he caught the gun, his body was crooked, and he wanted to hide, where was the time, with a snort, the head of the gun pierced into his left shoulder, Shen Rupeng screamed and fell off the horse.
Wu Di grabbed the horse's head and wanted to turn around to make up for a shot, but the Shen army had already killed him, so he had to return to the army. All the elite soldiers separated from each other and let Wu Di enter. In an instant, he closed again, and pointed his spear at the incoming enemy, without fear. Seeing that Shen Jun was approaching, Wu Di shouted, "Throw!" ”
Thousands of short spears were thrown from the array, flying towards the enemy on three sides like fairies scattering flowers.
The enemy troops were also well-trained, and they raised their shields to dodge, and for a time the sound of "popping" continued. The dead who didn't have time to dodge, the wounded, fell a lot.
"Defense!" Wu Di broke off again. All the soldiers immediately formed a shield wall to defend it to the death.
Shen Rubin also shouted at this time, "Put!" When the archers in the army heard the order, they drew their bows and fired, and tens of thousands of arrows were overwhelming the guards. Although the guards were well defended, they also suffered many casualties.
"Storm car impact!" Shen Rubin broke off again, and hundreds of soldiers pushed more than twenty attack vehicles and quickly rushed towards the shield wall. Tens of thousands of soldiers followed.
"Let the car come in and kill!" Wu Di saw that the attack vehicle was only more than ten meters away, and shouted.
The soldiers on the opposite side of the attack vehicle gave way one after another and let the attack vehicle in.
"Hey!" Wu Di broke off again, and the soldiers who avoided quickly filled the gap, and desperately blocked the soldiers behind him. The soldiers in the formation slashed and killed hundreds of enemy troops pushing the storming vehicles.
Seeing this, Shen Rubin was furious and shouted, "The chain is broken!" ”
I saw two teams of cavalry pulling iron chains several zhang long, and rushed straight to the shield array at two ends. Immediately dragged down a large piece of the formation!
Wu Di shouted, "Impact! "Lead the army to rush to the cavalry separately and fight hard. The cavalry team lost momentum.
Shen Rubin was overjoyed when he saw that the shield array had been broken, urging the whole army to attack. The two armies handed over, caught each other and fought each other, and the battle was so dusty that the sky was full of blood, and the ground was dark and dark.
Wu De saw that Shen Rubin's army was pouring out, and the more he fought, the more he fought, and if he continued to fight, the whole army would be annihilated, so he had to give the order to retreat.
Shen Rubin was willing to let them go, and shouted, "Surround me to death, don't let one go!" "The inner and outer three layers close the encirclement.
At this time, Xu Shiyuan was ordered by Wei Zheng to lead a thousand men and horses to respond, seeing that the situation was urgent, he shouted and led the army to rush down, and forcibly tore a gap, Wu Di was overjoyed, and led all the soldiers and Xu Shiyuan to gather together and fight hard.
The army fought and left, retreated to Wangxiang Pass, Wei Zheng led thousands of archers to pull strings and arrows at the head of the city, Wei Zheng saw that the enemy army chased after him, and shouted, "Release!" ”
Arrows rained down for a while. The pursuers retreated one after another, and there were countless arrows. Shen Rubin urgently ordered the withdrawal of troops.
The two sides counted the results of the battle, and Wei Zheng folded more than 3,000 people on his side, and the rest were all wounded.
Shen Rubin broke more than 3,000 people, Shen Rupeng was injured, but he did not hurt his life, and the two sides fought a draw.
Wei Zheng listened to Wu Di's battle report, admired it very much, and said, "What a Shen Rubin, he really uses soldiers like a god!" "Order all the troops to rest and recuperate, and not to go into battle easily.
After this battle, Shen Rubin also admired Wei Zheng, "The generals under him are so good, and they are the first fierce enemy they have encountered since they led the troops to fight!" "Ordered to report the victory to the capital, saying that 10,000 enemies were killed. Ordered all armies to strictly defend and defend to the death, so as to trap the garrison army in Wangxiang Pass.
Lan Yusheng took Feng Unequal Entourage, and he had already traveled day and night to look at the clouds and mist.
Lan Yusheng didn't dare to take the big road, only chose the trail to walk, walked for half a month, and only arrived at Yunshui Mountain, which was still half a distance away from Yunwu Pass.
When they came up to the mountain, they saw the stream murmuring, the mist was confused, the rotten wood was lodging, the moss was everywhere, the forest was full of all kinds of miasma, there was not much sunlight in the daytime, it was gloomy and cold, all kinds of poisonous snakes crawled on the branches and among the grass, and foxes, bears, and wild wolves haunted the vines and strange rocks.
The entourage could only use their swords to cut the road, and they struggled forward, and they did not know how long they had walked, and they did not know where to go, and they saw that the sky was gradually darkening.
Everyone had no choice but to choose a slightly dry high ground and burn a fire to rest. At night, Yunshui Mountain was even more eerie and terrifying, the roars of various nocturnal beasts came and went, and countless pairs of shining eyes stared at them in the darkness, not knowing whether they were wolves, bears or other fierce beasts.
One of the attendants couldn't hold it back, so he pulled the other attendant away from everyone and went to the side to relieve himself. As soon as he finished urinating, when he turned around, his companion was gone, and he was so frightened that he trotted all the way back, and before he ran a few steps, he tripped over the roots of the tree, and a black shadow suddenly rushed out and pounced on him, followed by a heart-rending scream, which was so startled that he was silent.
Lan Yusheng, Feng Buping, and his entourage drew their swords in their hands, looking at the dark jungle vigilantly.
"Holy Queen Niangniang, how is it good? It is estimated that Xiao Liu and Bai Qi will not be able to come back. ”
"Burn the fire bigger! Light torches all around! Lan Yusheng also felt that the evil aura was compelling.
The attendants cut down the nearby trees, enlarged the open space, lit torches, tied them to the surrounding trees, sharpened the broken trees, and formed a fence until midnight.
Lan Yusheng ordered to work in pairs and take turns to stand guard.
I didn't sleep for a while, and I was woken up by the seal.
"Holy Queen Niangniang, there is a situation!"
"There are enemies?"
"No, every now and then something extinguishes a few torches!"
Lan Yusheng couldn't help but feel a chill in his back. "Didn't it extinguish itself?"
"Definitely not, there's still a long way to go! Every time I hear a snap! And the torches fell to the ground. The attendant said nervously.
"Wake them up, everyone be careful!"
The retinue drew their swords and gathered around Lan Yusheng, and the ten horses stood restlessly on the side, panicked, as if something terrible was nearby.
"Zeng Liu, let the two horses out!" Lan Yusheng had an idea.
"Good!" Zeng Liu received the order, ran over to untie the reins of the two horses, and slapped the horse's buttocks fiercely with the back of the knife, the two horses neighed and rushed into the jungle, as soon as they disappeared into the darkness, dozens of black shadows flew out of the trees around them, and rushed to the direction of the horses' running, and there was a violent tearing sound for a moment, I don't know what the strange screams of the beasts were, the screams of the horses, and the noise was a mess, and it suddenly fell silent for a while.
"See what?" Lan Yusheng asked.
"No, Holy Queen!"
"Like a man, not like a man, like an ape is not an ape! The movement is too fast, and the black paste is not clear to see. ”
The attendants replied in a rambling manner.
"Let the horses go one by one!" Lan Yusheng said decisively.
Zeng Liu had no choice but to comply. As soon as the horse drove out, it met the same fate as the horse in front of him.
Lan Yusheng called Zeng Liu back, "It seems that this beast is not just looking for food!" I'm afraid it's a homicidal nature! ”
The entourage looked at each other, and there were countless vicious battles in their lives, but this was the first time that the enemy was dark and I was clear, I don't know how many, and I don't know what it was, it was really terrifying.
"Come out! Come out! Feng Buping couldn't help but be furious, and shouted loudly around, and the sound shook the dead leaves one after another.
In a moment, more than a dozen monsters jumped down from the surrounding trees, their whole bodies were black and hairless, their wrinkled skin drooped and wrapped in thin bodies, their lower limbs fell to the ground, their upper limbs were knee-high, their ears were pointed, their eyes were bare-eyed, their wolf mouth and monkey face, their fangs protruded, their bloody mouths and long tongues, they looked very ugly and vicious, and they looked murderous.
"Blood Wolf Ape!" Lan Yusheng exclaimed.
"What the hell is a blood wolf ape?" Zeng Liu asked in horror.
At this time, the blood wolf ape roared and approached step by step, wanting to climb over the fence, but Lan Yusheng didn't have time to answer, and shouted, "Kill!" "Take the lead and rush towards the blood wolf ape, the sword crossed, blood splashed, and limbs were broken. The blood wolf ape was just stunned, looking at the severed forelimb, the forelimb actually stopped bleeding quickly and grew again.
The crowd was shocked, "Beheaded!" Lan Yusheng didn't think about it, swung his sword and slashed at the neck of the blood wolf ape, and with a "plop", the head fell, and the corpse of the blood wolf ape still rushed forward a few steps before falling to the ground, and his forelimbs were still looking for his head.
The retinue drew a gourd in the same way, slashed at the head of the blood wolf ape, the blood wolf ape was numerous, the speed was fast, and after a while, they grabbed one or two followers, flipped to the ground, opened their mouths and bit their necks open, gulped the blood, and the retinue who died tragically became a dry corpse in a moment.
The two sides scuffled together, and fought until the first rays of sunlight shone into the clearing, and the bloody wolf ape roared and left seven or eight corpses and fled into the dense forest. Lan Yusheng's coat was torn into strips, and his arm was scratched with blood, and he was shocked, and when he inspected his entourage, only Feng Buping and Zeng Liu, who were all scarred, and the rest of the entourage were all dead, and there were only two or three horses left.
The three of them did not dare to rest, rode horses, rushed down the mountain along the stream, and gradually came out of the dense forest, it was already afternoon, only to see a huge waterfall, hanging in front of them. The three of them went down to the bottom of the waterfall, washed away the blood, drank a few mouthfuls of sweet spring, and couldn't help but collapse to the ground, until the sun was in the west, and then went on the road.
When it was dark, they saw a farmhouse in the distance, the lights were dim, and the three of them were very happy and went forward to stay. When the peasant saw them dressed in rags, they asked, "Did you come down from the mountains?" ”
"Exactly!" Lan Yusheng said.
"Oops! That's a big deal! That blood wolf ape is not a vegetarian! ”
"You've seen the Blood Wolf Ape too?" Zeng Liu asked in surprise.
"Yes, at night, I often run out of the mountains and attack the villagers, and now I am the only one left in the village, and everyone else is dead."
"Then why don't you leave?" Lan Yusheng asked.
"Alas, I'm a half-cut person, where else can I go, those who eat the imperial food on errands outside are not much worse than the blood wolf ape. I still have a place to hide in this house. There is nowhere to hide when you go out. Come on in! ”
And when they had their horses in the house, the peasant bolted the wooden door and put four long sticks against it. Only then did he beckon Lan Yusheng and the others to sit down. The house was not large, and when the two horses were squeezed in, it was even more narrow.
"Excuse me! Old man, may I ask my name, can I have something to eat, we have some silver taels here, you can get some for us to eat. Lan Yusheng took out some silver taels and put them on the broken wooden table, and said.
"I'm tired of asking, just call me Zheng Laohan. I see that your injuries are not light, and it just so happens that I have made some antidotes to treat the wounds of the blood wolf ape, and if you don't treat them in time, I am afraid that you will hurt your life. Zheng Laohan took out a porcelain jar and handed it to Zeng Liu, Zeng Liu opened the jar and smelled it, it was full of centipedes, poisonous snakes, spiders and other poisons, Zeng Liu was suspicious, although the scratches on his body had solidified, but it was painful and itchy, and it had changed from bright red to dark purple.
Seeing that they didn't believe it, Zheng Laohan rolled up his sleeves, only to see that his arms were covered with striped scars, which were obviously scratched by the blood wolf ape.
Zeng Liuxin said, whether he is true or not, try it again, anyway, it is a death, so he dipped some antidote with a strip of cloth and applied it to the wound, the pain and itching were immediately reduced, and black poisonous blood flowed out in a moment, and the wound also turned from purple to red.
"Put it on yourselves, and I'll go get some clothes for you to change into." Go get some more food. Just some multigrain wild vegetables, don't dislike it. ”
Lan Yusheng hurriedly thanked him, and the three of them rarely relaxed.
"Ma'am, what is the Blood Wolf Ape?" Zeng Liu couldn't help but ask this question again.
"I've heard my father talk about it, but I haven't seen it. It is said that the blood wolf ape is murderous and likes to suck blood the most. Anyone who has been bitten by it will be assimilated! ”
"Ahh It's so scary! Isn't that going to be more and more? Is this still worth it? ”
"Not really, there are weaknesses. While chopping other places doesn't die, chopping off heads does. And he can only come out at night, afraid of the sun, and has no intelligence. ”
After a while, Zheng Laohan took some change of clothes, but some coarse cloth peasant clothes, and handed them to Zeng Liu. Lan Yusheng took a set of women's coarse cloth and changed the room.
In the middle of the night, Zheng Laohan brought the meal to the table. Lan Yusheng sat down first, and asked Zheng Laohan to accompany him on the left, and Zeng Liu and Feng Bufang sat down.
Nothing happened that night.
The next day, Lan Yusheng asked Zeng Liu to take some silver taels to Zheng Laohan, and the general released the horse. The three of them pretended to be farmers, picked the avenue, and ran straight to Yunwu Pass.
