Chapter 7: The Princess of the Southland
Rong country, this is a nomadic country living on horseback, the people of this country, warlike and murderous by nature, nomadic herding and raiding for a living.
They often invade their realms, including the south.
Everywhere they passed, corpses were everywhere, rivers of blood flowed, even the old and weak women and children were not spared, their cruelty was outrageous.
The ferocity of the Rong State, as well as the frequent plundering of other countries, naturally aroused strong resentment among the neighboring countries, and the countries also allied to crusade, but the Rong State was too powerful.
Because of living on the prairie all year round, the Rong country not only has excellent horses, but also extremely exquisite archery, which no one can match.
In the past, on the prairie, the alliance countries fought with the Rong country, and the Rong country finally defeated the alliance countries by virtue of the support of the big forces behind it, as well as the innate unique advantages, with speed, and roundabout tactics.
The alliance of nations was defeated, and it was completely defeated.
After this battle, the alliance countries collapsed and gradually declined, and the Rong state took advantage of this to burn and loot, plunder a lot of wealth, and become more and more powerful.
After that, many of the alliance countries had civil strife, and they were finally destroyed one by one by the powerful Rong countries. Today, in the former alliance state, only the three kingdoms of Nan, Wu and Qi remained, because the terrain was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they were partial to one couple, so they were able to survive.
Song Wen'er, the princess of the southern kingdom, as the daughter of the king of the south, returned to China from a certain cultivation sect this time, but unexpectedly the news leaked, and on the way back, she was intercepted and killed by the Rong country.
"Drive!"
The smoke and dust were billowing out, Yanshan and his party were bored and spurred the horses, and ten miles ahead was the wild forest, as long as they entered the forest area, covered by trees and branches, the riding and shooting tactics of the Rong Di killer were difficult to play.
Perhaps, you can wait for the rescue.
In the rear, hundreds of people with animal skin skirts around their waists, exposed their upper bodies, thick waists and large waists and round waists chased after them, they hung scimitars on their waists, held longbows in their hands, and took away their lives from time to time with arrows and bows.
The Rong people led by him had a rough face and gloomy eyes, looking at the direction of the carriage and horses in front of him, the vast forest sea, and suddenly understood, and said in a deep voice: "No wonder they are coming here, they want to enter the wild forest, they must stop them, otherwise, it will be troublesome." β
"Whew!"
A group of Rong people drank lightly, and they also accelerated the speed of catching up.
"Ahh
Another man was hit by an arrow, seriously wounded, fell off his horse, but did not die, the yellow sand was full of sky, the wind and sand covered the vision, and the eyes could not see far away.
Even opening your eyes is difficult.
The soldier struggled and staggered to his feet, and had just picked up the long knife that had fallen to the ground, but as his eyes went black, his body suddenly split in half, and he opened his mouth and stared, and his face was forever fixed at that moment, and the liver and intestines were sprinkled with internal organs, and blood stained the yellow sand.
A stout man flew by on horseback, his face was fierce, and he held a moon-like scimitar in his hand, the scimitar was cold and shining, and blood was sliding down at this time.
"Hey, heyβhot blood. β
The Rong people stuck out their tongues and licked the blood on their scimitars, and while they were snorting, they looked extremely ferocious, like bloodthirsty beasts.
"Feiya, hurry up, don't delay the important things of the adults, if the adults blame it, ask your head, this is not the time to make a joke. A partner passed by quickly and reminded him.
"Just for a while, there will be no delay!"
Called the fangy Rong man, he said so, but he didn't dare to stay longer, shouted, quickly whipped his horse, and his figure disappeared into the yellow sand.
As everyone went away, the scarlet blood stains on the yellow sand were gradually buried, and those dead soldiers would eventually be 'swallowed' by the yellow sand.
Yellow sand and dust, mighty.
Yan Shan led his troops to take advantage of the wind and sand to cover the situation, desperately breaking through to the wild forest, and in the rear, the fierce and vicious, murderous Rong people followed closely and killed.
The two teams of men and horses chased and fled, and from time to time someone was injured or killed by an arrow...... Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, the sun was already high, and under the scorching sun, both sides were very tired.
The wind and sand are very strong, carrying a lot of sand and dust, which makes people's cheeks ache, their eyes can't be opened, the scorching sun is scorching, sweating, and their strength is seriously depleted.
Some horses let out a mournful roar and neigh, and their physical strength was finally exhausted, and in the course of running, they fell down violently, foaming at the mouth, and could not get up again.
At this time, Yan Shan and his party were only one mile away from the wild forest, but the pursuers behind were also approaching.
"None of them can escape!" The leader of the Rong people sparkled with a fierce light in his eyes, snorted coldly, stretched out his hand, and made a gesture, and hundreds of Rong people rode war horses and quickly closed towards Yanshan and the others with an encirclement momentum.
"They're about to catch up. Yanshan's face sank like water, and the distance between the two sides was shortened a lot, which made him a little anxious.
"General, you escort His Highness first, and I'll stop them. A person flashed out of Yan Shan's side, tall, with armor on his head, a shawl armor, and a lot of blood stains on his battle robes, both his own and his enemy's. He didn't wait for Yan Shan to answer, as soon as the words fell, he immediately turned his horse's head and led several soldiers to the rear.
"Wang Tong ......"
Yan Shan looked back and looked at the group of people who had gone away, even if he was as iron-blooded as him, he couldn't help but blush at this time, this time he would be goodbye. He took a deep breath, turned his head hard, and quickly whipped his horse, and continued to move forward quickly with the carriage.
This is the time that the brothers are buying for them with their lives, even if they are unwilling, they can't let the brothers sacrifice in vain.
"Kill!"
Wang Tong held a long-handled broadsword in his hand, led several soldiers to kill the enemy, dodged the rain of whizzing arrows, and with a 'poof' sound, the broadsword fell, and a Rong man who was bending the bow and arrows with a bow and a person with a bow, and directly cut off the horse.
Blood rushed, blood spilled on the face.
Wang Tong, as the deputy general of Yanshan, has great strength, and the long-handled broadsword is called perfect, and the knife technique is brought into full play, with a knife in the hand, like an arm and finger, with the power of a person, for a time, he successfully blocked the Rong people in the rear.
Whoosh β
The rain of arrows broke through the air, Wang Tong's long knife danced, and the arrows were difficult to get close to him, but several soldiers around him couldn't dodge, and they were hit by arrows one after another, and planted their horses.
Poof!
Wang Tong shouted, rode his horse and danced the knife, slashed left and right, and cut down a Rong man again, the leader of the Rong people turned a heavy face, took a big bow from his back, quickly bent the bow and set up the arrow, and the sharp arrow flew out with a 'whoosh'.
The arrow flashed cold, Wang Tong seemed to feel something, the long knife retreated to resist, and the arrow shattered, but Wang Tong was also shocked off the horse's back by the strong stamina of the arrow.
Wang Tong's hair was messy, his feet were on the yellow sand, and he wanted to jump on the horse's back with his strength, but at this moment, the 'whoosh' broke through the wind, and three sharp arrows were in the shape of a zigzag, running from his chest to his back at an astonishing speed......
"Chase!"
The leader of the Rong people glanced at Wang Tong, who had fallen to the ground, put away his longbow, reined in the reins of his horse, and waved his hand to lead his troops to continue the pursuit...... But because Wang Tong blocked this stubble, it took a lot of time, and even if the Rong people chased quickly, they couldn't catch up.
Yan Shan and the others took this opportunity to smoothly enter the wild forest.
"Damn!"
Rushed to the wild forest, only horses and vehicles remained in the marginal area, and Yan Shan and the others had long since disappeared, and the leader of the Rong people hated: "Everyone gets off the horse, even if they dig three feet into the ground, they must find the princess of the southern country, and they must see people in life and corpses in death." β
"Yes!"
ββ
In the wild forest, poisonous insects and poisonous beasts are rampant, roaring like thunder, and the roar is shaking the sky, making people's hearts tremble and their souls tremble.
At this time, a group of people walked slowly, looking nervous, and looking at the four directions vigilantly.
This pedestrian is Yan Shan and others.
Just now, they experienced a human-beast war.
"We have only not entered deeply, and we have encountered such a terrible beast, should we continue to go down? It is better for us to break through to the east, and perhaps we can avoid the pursuit of the Rong people. "The big battle just now made many soldiers feel uneasy.
On the side of Yanshan, there is a young girl, about twelve or three years old, her clothes are not gorgeous, but her appearance is peerless, she is the princess of the southern country - Song Wen'er, at this time she said: "What we can think of, the Rong people must also have expected that they have laid an ambush in the west and north, and in order to be in case, they will also set up an ambush in the east, we have no hope to get rid of from these three places, and only this south." Although the wild forest is terrifying, for us, it is a killing opportunity step by step, but for the Rong people, it is not the same, this will be our only hope for survival. β
The princess of the southern kingdom looks weak and powerless, but in the face of such a dangerous place, she is unusually calm.
"Your Highness is right. Even if they hadn't set up an ambush in the east, in our current state, we wouldn't have been able to go long before we would be caught up by the pursuers behind. As long as we are careful to avoid these brutes and delay a little longer, our reinforcements will arrive, and I have already sent an emergency signal with flying smoke just now. "Yanshan Road.
In fact, he didn't have the slightest bottom in his heart, now that they had entered the brute beast area, it was not easy to talk about not alarming those brute beasts, this was a wild forest, and the reason why it was also called the "forest of death" was because any step here was a great danger.
If there were other options, Yan Shan would not have chosen such an almost hopeless path.
The creatures of this wild forest are really terrifying, and they all have the strength of the Xuan level when they appear at any time.
And the further inward, the stronger the beast's strength becomes.
Even if it is a top master in the southern country, for the wild forest, it is also a change of color.
Not long after Yanshan and his party entered the wild forest, they encountered brute beasts.
It was an ordinary warthog, feeding on meat, staring at Yan Shan and the others, jumping out of the bushes, 'Dong Bang Bang Bang', the earth was trembling, the speed was extremely fast, and a shot was to knock two southern soldiers into the air.
One was killed on the spot, while the other was seriously injured.
In the end, they also joined forces to kill the warthogs with great difficulty, and they also suffered heavy losses, and many people were seriously injured.
"As long as I have a breath left, I will never let the princess be hurt in the slightest. Yan Shan said secretly in his heart.
Yan Shan and the others walked cautiously, because they were worried about alarming the brute beasts of the forest, so their speed was not fast.
On the Rong side, they went quickly, bent their bows and arrows, and shot a jackal that stood in their way, but wolves were social creatures, and they did so, and they stabbed a big problem.
The death of a jackal, the howl of death, summoned the wolves.
On the side of the Rong people, they were chased and killed by the wolves, and when they broke through, many people died tragically, and the rest of the people were able to escape smoothly, but they were also covered in blood and looked desolate.
Even the leader of the Najon people had a large piece of flesh bitten off his arm.
"My lord, they haven't gone far, they're in that direction. "Some Rong people are good at listening, lying on the ground and listening to their ears, getting results, and reporting to the leaders of the Rong people.
"Okay, let's kill the past and capture the princess of the southern kingdom alive, and the king will definitely be greatly rewarded. The leader of the Rong people raised his sword and shouted, boosting morale.
"Capture the princess of the southern kingdom alive!"
"Capture the princess of the southern kingdom alive!"
