Chapter 201: Attack on Flying Eagle Cliff
The official road had long been broken, full of potholes, and the carriage had been a little bumpy, and it had only gone less than 20 miles, and several merchants in the caravan sitting in the carriage felt as if their bodies had fallen apart. The mountain road is twisted and turned, Bama Peak is a branch of Changbai Mountain, the mountain is majestic, the dense forest stretching on both sides is silent, only the sound of horses' hooves stepping on the ground, mixed with the squeak of the wheels of the big cart.
The people of Longxingxing were very nervous, all of them were holding the weapons in their hands, according to Yelu Qin's arrangement, they always kept a certain distance from the carriage, and they couldn't open up the formation on the mountain road, especially in the face of attacks from high places, they were only beaten. Fortunately, Long Xingxing has the background of the Blackwater Gang, and this time he came out with one hundred and twenty shields, all of which were the kind of iron shields originally used by the Liao army, which greatly improved the ability of defense.
The temperature of the sun in spring is not very high, and the mountains and dense forests obscure a considerable part of the sunlight, so that the light shining on the road has an indescribable strangeness; Yeluqin looked into the distance, and his anxious gaze stayed on the Eagle Flying Cliff in front of him for a moment, and then he looked at the caravan moving slowly, and dozens of carriages meandered around. Rui Ping approached on horseback and said, "At this speed, we can reach Nangou at dusk." ”
Yelu Qin nodded slightly, and did not hide his worry in his eyes: "It depends on whether our guess is correct, dusk, it is the time when we are on the road for a day, and when we are most tired, the other party is waiting for work, do you say that the garrison can arrive in time?"
Rui Ping didn't speak, gently stroked the thick black hair under his chin and said, "If there are no reinforcements, the consequences will be unimaginable." Kou Xinya is right, the believers of the Nine Killings have a kind of courage that is not afraid of death, if there are many people, it is not something we can resist at all;
"Delivered to the door. Yelu Qin's demeanor became very serious: "He is hiding in the Central Plains now, and it is estimated that he is doing business on the surface and secretly eating black goods. This time, he didn't dare to collect the horses, so he took a sum of red goods and wanted to follow us to Jizhou, and then transfer to the Daimyo's Mansion. Shopkeeper Mo wanted to see his ability, so he agreed to Kou Xinya and us all the way. ”
Rui Ping and Yelu Qin are friends who have been playing together since childhood, and they were silent when they heard the words, Kou Xinya is a good calculation, but Mo Zhenqing's mind is even more vicious, if Kou Xinya shows ability and is a usable person, Long Xingxing will definitely force Kou Xinya to join the Blackwater Gang; Rui Ping took a deep breath of air, turned his gaze to the front again, and said worriedly: "This person is not simple, he can judge the situation clearly in a few words, if he guesses, I am afraid that there will be extraneous complications." ”
Yelu Qin showed a meaningful smile on his face and said: "It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, we little people can only obey the orders from above and go with him." ”
As the caravan progressed into the mountains, it was possible to see the eagle's beak protruding stone from the Eagle Cliff, the woods were getting denser and denser, and the air was slowly becoming cooler, so that the people who had worked hard all the way felt indescribable pleasure, and the handlebars of the carriage even began to tell jokes. The people of Long Xingxing were even more nervous, and Yelu Qin also began to worry that the person he sent to deliver the letter would be robbed and killed on the way and not deliver the letter to the garrison?
The more people came to the end of the matter, the more they suffered from gains and losses, and Yelu Qin was now nervous, and waved his hand to call two men, and whispered a few words; the two men immediately rode their horses and shouted along the advancing caravan, telling them to slow down and be on guard. After walking for another six or seven miles, the towering stone wall of the Flying Eagle Cliff came into view, which made people dizzy and realized their insignificance in the mountains and valleys.
A flock of birds flew up on the cliff, and at the same time as Yelu Qin issued a warning call, the whistling of the sound of the dwarf suddenly tore through the silence of the mountain, and hundreds of arrows shot down from the cliffs on both sides, and the huge boulders and rolling logs made a rapid sound, and the sound of the arrows suddenly became one, like a violent wind sweeping across the earth. The caravan did not have time to form a defensive formation, and while dodging and defending against bows and arrows, it delayed the response of Long Xingxing's people to Shi Mu, causing a large number of casualties.
But Yelu Qin was happy in his heart, the other party did not shoot rockets, which showed that Kou Xinya and his judgment were right, and the other party did not dare to damage this batch of materials, Yelu Qin, Za Cihuang, Rui Ping and others immediately shouted at the caravan to continue to hurry, and forced through the Eagle Flying Cliff; the enemy really did not attack, but only destroyed the formation of the caravan, shot the dart master and the executioner, and when the whole caravan rushed out of the mountain, the casualties of Long Xingxing were close to half.
The carriages were scattered on the avenue, the sun was setting in the west, the exhausted caravan was preparing to rest, and the chirping of the dwarf was again "...... and ", and hundreds of masked knights rushed out of the surrounding hillsides, among the birch forests, and in the bushes, and swept towards the caravan. Now there is no need to guess, Yelu Qin dares to conclude that the opposite side is the person from Bohai Hall, if it is a horse thief, what are you doing with your face covered?
The horse thieves roared and quickly showed their fangs, and Long Xingxing was caught off guard, so he could only meet the battle on the periphery as much as possible, and did not let the other side break through the division; the horse thieves attacked from three sides, trying to break through Long Xingxing's defense, forcing the caravan to retreat into the mountains. The horse thieves were connoisseurs at first glance, and seeing that the number of archers in Longxing was too limited to form an arrow array, three hundred horsemen galloped wildly and rushed directly to the caravan.
Maybe it's the allure of the goods, and other factors, the horse thieves directly ignore the danger, one by one arrogantly brandishing weapons, completely a "Buddha block to kill the Buddha, God to block and kill the God" posture, in fact, Long Xingxing's martial arts are probably higher than the opponent, but under the pressure of the opponent's momentum, Long Xingxing's peripheral defense soon failed, and it became a separate battle. Fortunately, he had a lot of experience in the handlebar style, and seized the opportunity to circle the carriage together, so that the horse thief's war horse could not pass, even if a certain direction was lost, the horse thief could not cut through the caravan's defense.
Yang Zhi rode on a war horse, holding a steel gun, and looked at a big man rushing over with a mace and screaming, and didn't move until the other party was thirty steps away, and suddenly urged the bald horse under the seat, the horse speed increased in an instant, and the man and horse were one, and only one shot pierced the opponent's heart, picking the big man off the horse. Ma Wu is not wrong, this horse is indeed a thousand miles of divine horse, Yang Zhi has found it on the road a few days ago, so the daily feed is a good feed, so that the horse can store strength.
