Chapter 122: Ambush in the Jungle
Zhang Wuxin and more than 20 others, carrying two carriages, rushed all the way to the capital.
It stands to reason that from the generation of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to the capital, the best way to take is actually the waterway, but Yu Dayou repeatedly told him not to take the waterway.
Zhang Wuxin is a martial idiot, and he doesn't know anything about the world, but An Qingyue is well-informed, so Yu Dayou discussed it with An Qingyue.
More than 20 masters of Wudang Mountain, plus An Qingyue and Zhanyu, on land, unless it is a regular army, they all have the ability to protect themselves.
And they only take the official road along the way, and never take the small road, who dares to really brazenly mobilize troops to attack, that is to rebel.
But by water...... Although Wudang Mountain is located in Hubei, everyone knows water, but fighting on the water will greatly reduce people's force value.
Not to mention that if the other party's dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, scuttles the boat and hits the boat, and the jade is burned, then this group of people will inevitably be wiped out.
Although there are not many people in Wudang Mountain, Zhanyu is an old Jianghu, An Qingyue has an official body, and the natural arrangements along the way are not leaky.
Hurry up at dawn, stay at sunset, only live in the big inn in the city, don't live in the wilderness store, and resolutely don't give the enemy a chance to go wild!
Seeing that the capital is getting closer and closer, everyone is becoming more and more vigilant.
They understood that the other party could not let them enter Beijing smoothly like this, and they must be waiting for the opportunity to do so along the way.
Now that the arrow is on the bow, if you can't wait for the opportunity, you can only overlord the bow.
When the official road extended into a forest, Zhanyu stopped his horse, and when everyone gathered around, he looked around.
"From here to the capital, there are only trees on this official road. Although it is not a cover, there have been bandits before.
Later, the bandits were exterminated, and I guess if anyone wants to do it, it will be here. Take care, everyone! ”
More than twenty people formed a large circle, surrounded the two carriages in the middle, and slowly drove into the woods.
This is a whole dense forest, and the official road is built here, because the bend is too far, so it is directly cut down to open the way. When the road was being built, trees were also cut down in the forest and houses were built on fire, so the trees were not so dense.
But when I walked to the middle, there was still a section of tall and dense trees, and the sunlight could only shine through the branches, mottled on the official road, although it was not dark, it was also very cold.
In the cold winter season, many leaves have fallen on the ground, and the rustle of carriages and horses' hooves on the leaves is particularly clear in the quiet dense forest.
In this rustling sound, dozens of slight wind sounds sounded, and Zhang Wuxin suddenly raised his head and shouted: "Be careful."
The others reacted slightly slower than him, but as soon as he shouted, they reacted immediately, and the long sword was unsheathed almost simultaneously, shooting down dozens of cold stars flying from all directions.
It was a very bizarre dart, disc-shaped, six-pointed star, which kept the dart extremely smooth in flight.
At the same time, you don't need to consider the distance from the target, and you don't need to calculate how many times you spin in the air to ensure that the tip of the knife hits the enemy, like ordinary throwing knives.
Zhang Wuxin, a martial idiot, saw the magic of this kind of dart at a glance, and immediately became excited, grabbed one in the air, and showed it to An Qingyue in surprise.
"Senior sister, you see, this is similar to the money dart we have seen, but it is bigger and heavier than the money dart, and these six sharp corners are also more lethal than the blades around the money dart!"
An Qingyue was speechless, when has this been, and is she still thinking about studying the advantages and disadvantages of hidden weapons?
"Senior brother, be careful, this kind of hidden weapon is not like the Central Plains Martial Arts, and the enemy's way of coming is a little strange!"
Before he could finish speaking, another round of darts flew out from behind the trees, on the tops of the trees, and even at the roots, flying towards the crowd from all directions.
This time there were more darts, and they were of different sizes, spinning in the air, whining, but not at the crowd, but at the horses they were riding!
Everyone blocked with their long swords again, and in a clanging sound, a Wudang Taoist priest with slightly weaker kung fu failed to protect his horse, and the horse received a dart on the leg.
The horse was in pain, neighed, and ran forward! The Taoist priest hesitated slightly, and he had already been taken out more than ten meters away!
Zhanyu shouted: "Abandon the horse and come back!" ”
The Taoist priest pressed his hand on the horse's back, and the whole person floated up, fell to the ground, and ran back.
Zhang Wuxin's eyes had been staring at the darts flying out from behind the trees, and suddenly he shook his hand and threw out the hexagonal dart he was holding in his hand.
As if he were used to using such darts, the darts spun and flew up the treetops, and someone let out a muffled grunt and fell heavily from the tree to the ground.
At this time, everyone in Wudang also came to their senses, and took out the dart hidden weapon they were carrying, and fired back in the direction where the dart came.
At this time, it was a matter of life and death, and both sides did not hesitate to cover the firepower, and various darts flew cross-flying in the air, colliding together from time to time, making a clanging sound.
In less than a bag of cigarettes, the hidden weapons of both sides were exhausted. Only two or three people were injured on each side, but the horses of the Wudang people were beaten away by six.
The horses of the two carts, with their armour, were not hurt much; Second, the wheels had been jammed with logs, and even if the horses were frightened, they could not be dragged away.
After a long-range firefight, all the hidden weapons were gone, but there were indeed a lot of them on the ground, but they were exchanged.
The six-pointed stars of the ambushers all fell on the official road, and the darts of the Wudang people stuck in the trees or landed in the woods.
But at this time, the situation was reversed, because even if the ambushers picked up the darts of the Wudang people, they would not use them, and it was not accurate to throw them over, and there was no guarantee that the tip of the knife would rush forward, and the lethality was very ridiculous.
The people of Wudang don't know how to use six-pointed stars, but they have Zhang Wuxin, a martial idiot. Zhang Wuxin only threw one, and he was already handy at using this kind of dart, and he always praised it.
So everyone in Wudang assisted, and constantly picked up darts from the ground and handed them to Zhang Wuxin, Zhang Wuxin sat on the horse and became a sniper calmly.
Someone kept shouting: "Senior Brother Zhang, there was someone behind that tree just now!" "Whoosh, smack.
"Senior Brother Zhang, there were darts flying down from the top of that tree just now!" Whoosh, smack.
"Senior Brother Zhang, the person behind the tree is fat and exposed, you see, it's still moving, the butt is exposed, it's retracted, but the belly is exposed, and it's the butt again...... "Whoosh, smack, ah......
Just when Zhang Wuxin was fighting happily, the ambushers could no longer bear this situation of being beaten unilaterally.
With a low bamboo whistle, a group of black-clothed people suddenly rushed out from behind various trees, at the tops of trees, and at the roots of trees, with more than fifty people, surrounding the people of Wudang.
The leader said gloomily: "Zhang Wuxin is mine, the others, leave it to you, kill them all!" ”
The men drew their knives, which were of a strange style, similar to a Japanese knife, but shorter than a Japanese knife, about the same length as an embroidered spring knife, and were obviously specially made for the convenience of assassination.
The leader was holding a standard sword, which was a cut longer than Zhang Wuxin's long sword. He slammed his long knife to the ground and beckoned to Zhang Wuxin arrogantly.
Zhang Wuxin's eyes lit up, and he could also see that the leader's kung fu was very high, which was like a pervert seeing a beautiful woman to him.
The leader was a little surprised by Zhang Wuxin's eager gaze, he had seen many masters who were in danger, but he had never seen an opponent like Zhang Wuxin Xingcheng.
The two teams confronted each other quietly, waiting for the time to fight. This was the horse that had been hit by the dart in the leg first, and when he saw the murderous crowd in front of him, he did not dare to come.
But it was so attached to its horses that it would not go away, and kept digging the ground with its hooves, and raised its head to let out a mournful neigh.
The neighing of the horse was like a fuse, instantly igniting the air that was already extremely tense, and the two teams rushed up in unison!
Zhang Wuxin's feet stepped on the horse's back, and the whole person crossed the crowd in the air and rushed to the leader who was waiting for him with a knife.
The leader raised the long knife high above his head, waiting for Zhang Wuxin to rush to the front, and when his foothold was not stable, with the momentum of thunder, the long knife slashed!
This move is unpretentious, it is a fast word, Zhang Wuxin does not dodge or dodge, the whole person follows the momentum of the flutter, the toes are accelerated twice, the person and the sword collapse into a straight line, shooting at the throat of the leader!
This trick is like a 100-meter race when the whole person flies up and crosses the line with his head, although I am not as fast as you, but I will arrive before you.
Zhang Wuxin's height of one meter eight, coupled with a long sword of one meter three, this length, superimposed speed, almost instantly arrived in front of the leader.
No matter how fast the long knife cuts, it can't be faster than this kind of straight line racing foul play!
The leader could only dodge to the side, and at the same time, the downward slash of the long knife naturally turned into an oblique slash, and he could no longer pose much threat. He took advantage of the momentum of dodging to turn around, and the long knife turned into a horizontal slash, and swept towards Zhang Wuxin, who had just landed, with great speed.
If Zhang Wuxin jumped up, he would immediately adjust the height of the long knife and make another turn. Zhang Wuxin, who was in the air like that, would not be able to dodge and would be forced to parry with his long sword.
Cutting the long sword with both hands, he was sure that even if he didn't cut the sword, it would be enough to shake Zhang Wuxin off the air and get the long sword out of his hand. At that time, it will be a situation of self-slaughter.
He'd succeeded so many times that almost no one could escape. It's a pity that he doesn't know one thing, that is, Zhang Wuxin has suffered a big loss under a trick that is very similar to this one.
Since that day, Zhang Wuxin has been thinking about what to do if he encounters such a trick again when he is eating and sleeping? How to break that sweep of thousands of troops?
Zhang Wuxin didn't parry, nor did he jump, he rolled on the ground, and with the rolling of his body, the long sword stabbed the leader's legs and feet and even the man's vital parts.
This style of play is by no means the work of a master, more like a scoundrel. But Zhang Wuxin didn't care at all, he was already a man and a sword, referred to as a sword man.
The leader hurriedly dodged Zhang Wuxin's counterattack, dressed roughly, sweat on his forehead. He suddenly wondered if he had been deceived by the rouge leopard.
Is this person really Yu Dayou's defeated subordinate?
