Chapter 107: Siege
The long arrow broke through the air, Zhong Limo tensed up, and fell off his horse in a panic, raising a cloud of dust around him.
Situ Xi immediately looked at the dark cave, he didn't see the ambush soldiers, but he found that six more arrows were coming at them one after another.
"Your Highness!" Mu Juzheng used his short knife to flick away the flying arrows that were shooting at him, and jumped in front of Situ Xi, and Qixian also took out his weapon to protect Situ Xi on his left after dodging.
"Qixian, you go to protect Mo Ge'er."
"Hmph-"
The dark arrow was difficult to prevent, and a few muffled snorts sounded from his side, Situ Xi looked around, and the three guards led by Chen Pu were all hit by arrows, and one of them had already fallen to the ground.
Their horses were also frightened, and they all ran away to the side with a clatter.
Chen Zhishu was pulling Chen Pu's neckline, the two of them were not injured, it seemed that she had just dragged Chen Pu off the horse at a critical moment, which allowed him to escape.
There were twelve arrows around, and two rounds were fired, six people?
Situ Xi was completely disappointed with the security measures of the Chu State this time, the last time he saw the assassination of the prince in the streets of the imperial city, and this time he was ambushed by someone on the spring hunt organized by the Chu Emperor......
In this world, is it common to be assassinated?
In the blink of an eye, another third round of arrow rain came from the cave, Situ Xi calmed down and observed, these people seemed to be aiming at their targets, so far he, Chen Zhishu, and Zhong Limo had not been targeted.
With their previous experience, several of the injured guards had already been on alert in advance, and they struggled to dodge, and before they could rejoice, a fainting sensation surged over their heads, and the three of them closed their eyes and passed out.
"The arrow may be poisoned, be careful." Situ Xi came to the side of several people to check their status, although they were still breathing, their faces were pale and their lips were purple.
"Where is the rat, who can only release dark arrows, but dare to come out and confront a certain head-to-head?"
Mu Juzheng easily blocked the arrows again, he took the bow and arrow behind him, pulled the bow and aimed it at the cave with three arrows in a row, and then rushed towards the cave quickly.
Seeing him provoking the people in the cave, Situ Xi couldn't help but have a headache, shouldn't he immediately retreat and run away at this time.
Looking at the people around again, Chen Pu and Zhong Limo were still stunned, and Chen Zhishu was also holding a bow and preparing to support Mu Juzheng.
"Get on the horse, Brother Mo, you and Brother Chen will flee first, go and inform the people outside, and then find some reinforcements along the way." Situ Xi strode up to Zhong Limo, "Qixian, you go to protect them, the soldier at the intersection of the return road may block the way." ”
"You go too, I'm only responsible for protecting you." Qixian shook his head, and he followed closely beside Situ Xi.
"Hmph, want to go?" A sneer came from the direction where Situ Xi and the others came, and they hurriedly looked, and there were five more black-robed people who appeared on the side of the mountain road at some point.
"Huh? This outfit ......" Qixian's eyes narrowed, and he took a step closer to Situ Xi again.
The black robe and black scarf are the same as the group of gangsters who assassinated Zuo Mingli last time.
On the other side, Mu Juzheng saw that a new enemy had appeared, so he stopped advancing, and retreated quickly, and everyone approached together.
The six people in the cave finally appeared, and they were also dressed in black robes.
"Don't let people escape, those sisters and brothers are going to be caught alive." The black-robed man who led the mountain road seemed to be the leader of these people, he didn't talk nonsense with Situ Xi and them, shouted and gave orders, and then drew his sword with the rest of the people and attacked everyone.
"Capture us alive?" Chen Pu glanced at Chen Zhishu, but he didn't expect it to be coming at them.
"The same bronze sword as those people last time, sure enough......" Situ Xi saw that the weapons of these people were also the same as those black-robed people last time.
"However, these people are masters, far from being comparable to those assassins last time." Qixian said in a deep voice.
Master? Seven strings had fought against those people last time, so he naturally had a say.
Speaking of which, the archery skills of those six people just now were very unusual, and they could almost be called a hundred steps through Yang.
"There are too many people, and it's a bit of a problem." Chen Zhishu frowned, took a piece of jade pendant from his neck and handed it to Situ Xi, "Fuyu, if you fight for a while, you find a chance to escape with Pu'er." ”
Mu Juzheng also looked extremely serious, and he took out a bundle of rope darts from his arms.
The exchange between the blades was between lightning and fire, and Mu Ju was swinging the rope dart in his hand with all his might, and the head of the dart went straight to the position of the leader's chest.
The black-robed leader dodged sideways, using his bronze sword to cut the rope of the rope dart, but Mu Juzheng flicked his wrist, and the sword in his hand was immediately entangled by the rope.
Mu Juzheng suddenly exerted his strength, and the bronze sword was out of his hand, and he swept the rope dart out again, and several people in front of him took a few steps back.
Qixian held a short dagger to protect Situ Xi's side, he didn't dare to rush up to help immediately, he was afraid that when Situ Xi had no one around him, he would ask someone to drill the gap.
Chen Zhishu has a saber around her waist, this long sword has been unsheathed and held in her hand, two people in front of her at the same time rushed over, raised the sword and slashed, she put the long sword horizontally, the three blades touched each other, and made a sharp "swish" sound.
Situ Xi took out his crossbow in one hand, and fired several crossbow arrows at the enemy in time to ignore them, and one of them hit, but the man who was hit immediately rushed towards them like crazy.
Seven Strings immediately blocked it with a dagger, jumped and kicked it to the ground with a side kick.
Situ Xi looked at Zhong Limo and Chen Pu, who were also drawing their bows and aiming behind them, there were eleven on the opposite side, and there were actually only three people on their side who really had combat effectiveness, and these three people had to take care of them at all times, and they couldn't let go of their hands and feet at all.
Dragging it out like this will only be detrimental to his side, Situ Xi hesitated slightly, reached into his arms and took out a black ball and a fire fold.
"Listen to me, gather some, and then listen to my command to retreat together, remember, you must cover your mouth and nose."
Everyone was stunned, and Mu Juzheng immediately listened to the order and moved closer to Situ Xi.
Chen Zhishu also retreated, and the black-robed people in front of him immediately approached them.
"It's now!"
Situ Xi shouted, everyone retreated to the side, and when the black-robed people who rushed together gathered together, Situ Xi opened the fire fold, put it to his mouth and blew it, a faint flame ignited, and he immediately approached the lead of the smoke ball that had been made in advance.
Successfully lit, Situ Xi shook his hand violently and threw the cigarette ball towards the black-robed people.
