Chapter 78: Flying Fox
In the night, the rolling of the carriage was very obvious in the silent night, and everyone hurried along the official road with torches.
Feng Yuan took Zhao Heng and others to press the formation in the back, and Hong Sheng led the way in front.
About two hours later, Sun Qi performed light skills and quickly came to Feng Yuan's side from behind.
"Your Highness, the brothers in the back have signaled that there are pursuers out of the city who are searching along the road!"
Feng Yuan waved his hand when he heard this, Zhao Heng immediately gave the order, and the convoy immediately stopped, and Li Banghua and Zhu Yujiao came quickly, with a little nervousness on their faces.
"What's wrong? Is the pursuer coming?" asked Li Banghua.
Feng Yuan nodded slightly, turned his head to Sun Qi and asked, "Have you seen clearly how many people are chasing soldiers?"
"It's too dark, the brothers who stayed behind didn't see it clearly, there should be thousands of people, all cavalry!" Sun Qi hurriedly replied.
"Your Highness, with the speed of cavalry, it won't be long before you catch up with us, how can we meet the enemy now?"
Li Banghua was worried in his heart, and now the Jiangshan Sheji of the Ming Dynasty is all in the hands of Feng Yuan. If he can't stop the pursuers, the result will be unimaginable.
"Mr. Li doesn't have to worry, you and Your Majesty will continue to rush ahead, and I will lead people to stay behind to stop the enemy!
Feng Yuan's expression was faint and he wasn't too worried.
Seeing his calm look, Li Banghua's originally nervous mood was also relieved a lot, and he didn't say anything more, and hurriedly turned his head and walked towards one of the carriages.
He was ready to report the current situation to Chongzhen.
"I'll stay with you to meet the enemy!" Zhu Yujiao did not follow Li Banghua to leave, but wanted to stay and help.
Feng Yuan is indispensable, anyway, her strength has reached the second-rate level of the rivers and lakes, and there is no need to send people to protect her. Staying can also give you more strength.
......
More than a thousand cavalry roared with iron hooves, and rushed forward to chase along the trail of the carriage.
"The general doesn't have to worry, as far as I know, the people who escorted Chongzhen to break out of the city should be the people of the Five Poison Sect, these people only know how to plot and poison, but they don't have much effect on the battle array!"
"If you catch up, you will be able to capture it!"
Zhang Nai's face was pale, and he personally led the cavalry out of the city to chase after him, and there were two horsemen beside him, one of whom was carrying a big knife, with a rough beard and sharp eyes, like an eagle patrolling the earth.
The other was dressed in a plain robe with a large abacus hanging from his waist.
The person who spoke was Huang Zhen, a great disciple of the Huashan faction with a big abacus. He is witty by nature, but the current situation also makes him have no heart to say those witty words again.
He saw Zhang Nai's face and knew that the other party was worried about letting Chongzhen go, so he comforted him.
"Brother Huang, what you said about General Zhang understands it in his heart, but Emperor Chongzhen is too important, if he is let go, it will not be so easy to capture all parts of Jiangnan!"
The bearded man with the knife on his back had a low voice, and it seemed that his identity could be on par with Huang Zhen and Zhang Nai.
He is the flying fox, one of the four guards beside Li Zicheng, Hu Tian!
As Feng Yuan had calculated at the beginning, Li Zicheng was worried that Chongzhen would break through and escape, so he specially sent Hu Tian to let the number one martial arts master in the army assist Zhang Nai.
Huang Zhen nodded slightly.
As long as Chongzhen can be caught, this business will be a big profit. Once the other party is allowed to escape, as Hu Tian said, King Chuang will lose his old capital.
As he spoke, the cavalry rolled forward.
On the right side of the official road ahead, a black dirt slope appeared, and some trees were sparsely growing on the soil slope.
These trees, in the reflection of the night, look like lurkers and some kind of ghost poisonous snakes, giving people a chilling chill.
Bang!
As soon as more than 1,000 cavalry passed the dirt slope, the horses at the front neighed and fell to the ground. Plopped, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of cavalry in front of them fell to the ground.
The screams of people and the neighing of horses mingled.
"It's a trip...... There is an ambush!"
A cavalry post with better skills was always rolling on the ground, and when he saw that more than a dozen ropes had been pulled up on the black ground, his face couldn't help but change, and he shouted for a reminder.
He was a little late in reminding, and when the stumbling horse rope took effect, causing chaos in the front line of the cavalry, the enemy suddenly rushed out from both sides.
Kill!
With a deliberate calculation or not, Zhao Heng, Sun Qi, He Tieshou, Zhu Yujiao and others each held weapons and led people to kill in the crowd.
They relied on their dexterity to quickly reap the lives of the cavalry of the Shun army when the horses were in chaos, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of cavalrymen fell off their horses and died.
"Damn it!"
Zhang Nai was furious, roared wildly, carried his gun, rushed to the front and stabbed out, and with a pop, he picked up a good hand of the Five Poisons Sect and knocked down several people, breaking tendons and blood flying.
When He Tieshou saw that his subordinates were killed, his pretty face swelled with frost, and he waved his hand to sprinkle a puff of poisonous powder to disperse the enemies around him, and raised his hand to release a few poisonous arrows and shot at Zhang Nai.
"General be careful!"
A few money darts flew out and knocked down the poisoned arrows.
Huang Zhen reminded him, picked up the iron abacus, and used his skills with Hu Tian to kill the enemy in ambush.
Among them, Huang Zhen found He Tieshou and prepared to take down the leader of the Five Poisons Sect first.
Hu Tian was about to make a move on Zhao Heng, but suddenly his expression changed slightly, as if he sensed something, raised the single knife, and looked towards the side of the avenue.
"What kind of person is sneaky?"
Feng Yuan, who was standing in the shadows, was a little surprised in his heart, he didn't expect this person to feel so keenly. Moreover, the feeling that the other party gave him can be compared with Gui Xinshu, who fought in Jiangnan at the beginning.
With superb martial arts and a single sword, he is still a person who is Li Zicheng...... The other party should be the head of the four guards, Hu Tian, known as the flying fox.
Feng Yuan showed his body and picked up a long knife that landed not far away with his toes.
"It turns out that the flying fox has arrived! I heard that the Hu family's knife technique is a must in the rivers and lakes in the morning, and today I want to learn it to see if this knife technique is worthy of its name!"
Feng Yuan's body flickered, and the long knife was like lightning, flashing in the night, and the incomparable aura instantly enveloped Hu Tian's whole body.
After personally going into battle to kill, after the tempering of the battle array, Feng Yuan's knife skills became more and more powerful, and a knife was issued, like a ghost. Even the most ordinary knife moves are comparable to peerless knife techniques.
"Good knife technique!"
Hu Tian was awe-inspiring in his heart, feeling an extremely strong threat, and immediately urged the Hu family's knife technique to the extreme, and the long knife also turned into a match, the human knife was one, and Feng Yuan continued to fight.
Both of them are top masters in the rivers and lakes, and their speed is extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they are more than a dozen moves.
The more they fought, the more shocked Hu Tian's heart became.
The opponent's sword skills are extremely powerful, almost on par with him. Especially the opponent's strength is unmatched, and a hard move almost broke his arm.
Under the deterrence of the opponent's powerful force, Hu Tian could only use the dexterous tricks in the sword technique, changing his body shape, and constantly dodging.
"The Hu family's knife technique is indeed unique!"
When Feng Yuan was fighting, he still had some spare strength, and he could take the opportunity to sense the subtleties of the opponent's knife moves.
