Chapter 156
At this time, I only heard a few men in the west shouting: "You put down your swords and surrender quickly, otherwise you will be killed!"
Feihua protected the young man in the middle month by month, and the woman in white tried to grab the young man's hands several times, but Feihua stopped her.
At this moment, the tolerances at both ends of the long street held steel knives and iron rulers in their hands and began to slowly advance towards the center of the long street. Under the light of the torches, the steel knives in the hands of the people flashed with cold light. The man who was lying in ambush on the opposite roof also bent his bow and arrows, and aimed his feathered arrows at the four people in the middle of the street.
At both ends of the long street, the brocade guards behind them did not move.
At this time, it was past the middle of the night, and suddenly a high-pitched and sharp horn sound came from the east side of the town, and in the quiet night, it was indescribably thrilling.
The men who were approaching the center of the street stopped, and invariably turned their heads to look at the brocade guards behind them. The leaders of the brocade-clothed guards in white robes stood still, and everyone had to turn around, still slowly surrounding the woman in white and the others.
At this time, the sound of a trumpet sounded again in the east, but this one was much closer.
Murong Dan Yanqi said: "On this big night, how can someone blow the horn?"
Li Qiufeng's face was heavy, and he said: "This is the clarion call of the army, I didn't expect them to come so quickly." At first, I thought that the official army had rushed to quell the rebellion, but I didn't expect that the rebels had arrived. ”
Xiao Zhanpeng said: "How does Brother Li know that the rebels have arrived?"
Li Qiufeng said: "If you go to stop the rebels' officers and troops, they should march from west to east since they are coming from the capital. Now the sound of the trumpet came from the east, and it must have been the arrival of the rebels. That day, I heard Zhao Zhen say that after the rebels assembled, they had been standing still, waiting for the Tartar soldiers to converge. Now that the rebels have been dispatched, the Tartar soldiers have already arrived. These Tartar soldiers are extremely fierce, extremely powerful, and burn, kill, and plunder, and do all kinds of evil. Zhao Zhen borrowed the power of the Tartar soldiers, and must have made a condition that they could not refuse, just like Shi Jingtang ceded the sixteen states of Youyun that day and led the Khitan soldiers into the Central Plains, causing endless disasters to the people of the Central Plains. Zhao Zhen, a traitor to the country, is cut by a thousand knives, and it is difficult to atone for his sins!"
At this time, the third horn sounded again, and it was not far from the street to the east. But when he saw Feihua, Zhuyue and the young man's body shake, they actually snatched up the house on the side of the street. In his busy schedule, the young man still grabbed the right hand of the woman in white, only to see the figures of the four people shaking, and they had already disappeared into the house.
Murong Danyan stuck his head out of the window to see what was going on, Li Qiufeng was quick, said "be careful", and pulled her back.
I only heard the sound of "poof" continuously, and more than ten feather arrows had been shot into the house. But it was the tolerance who was lying on the opposite roof that thought that Murong Danyan was an accomplice of Feihua and Moon, so he wanted to force her back with an arrow.
The crowd avoided the feathered arrows. The guest room is more than ten zhang away from the opposite roof, and if you want to launch a hidden weapon, you can't hold it. The crowd leaned against the wall, not daring to look out of the window.
At this moment, the sound of bows and arrows breaking through the air was suddenly heard, and then the screams outside the house continued. The inn was made of wood, and the arrows were shot into the planks, and only the dense sound of "Duo Duo Duo" could be heard, and in an instant, I don't know how many arrows were shot on the wall outside the guest room, and the whole room trembled.
At this time, everyone was like a small boat on the angry sea, leaning against the wall tightly, only to feel that the wooden plank could not help shaking, as if the feather arrow could break through the wall at any time, which made people feel fear for no reason. Fortunately, after a while, the sound of feathered arrows breaking through the air suddenly stopped, and then the sound of horses' hooves on the long street was loud, and a large group of soldiers and horses swept from east to west.
Li Qiufeng saw that there was no longer archery outside, so he quietly stretched his head out of the window and looked out. I saw that dozens of people who had planned to besiege Feihua, Zhuyue and others on the long street were shot like hedgehogs, and they were all killed. And the Jinyi guards standing at the west end of the long street have all fallen to the ground, with countless arrows on their bodies. Because they were afraid of being discovered, Li Qiufeng and the others didn't dare to poke their heads out of the window, because they couldn't see the scene at the east end of the long street, but they just looked at the fate of these brocade guards at the west end, and the brocade guards who were originally standing at the east end had all been shot to death.
At this moment, the horse team was in the middle of the long street. I saw these soldiers riding war horses, eight people in a row, holding bows and arrows in their hands, galloping from east to west. The soldiers wore iron helmets and willow-leaf armor, and in addition to holding bows and arrows in their hands, they even carried two bows on their backs. Next to the saddle, each placed a quiver filled with feathered arrows.
I saw that the horse team was rampant, never stopping on the long street, and even more so turning a blind eye to the corpses all over the ground. All you can hear is the horse's hooves stepping on the bluestone paved road, making a loud roar.
The ambush on the roof opposite the inn had already been killed, and when I looked from the guest room, I saw that the walls of the house opposite were also full of feathered arrows.
I don't know how long it took for the horse team to sweep across the long street and run straight west. The corpses on the long street had been trampled to pieces, and it was horrible to see. Li Qiufeng and the others stood at the window, and everyone's faces changed color. Murong Danyan said in a trembling voice: "This, what kind of army is this......"
Li Qiufeng said in a deep voice: "This is the Tartar soldier of Duoyan Sanwei. When they marched, a platoon of eight people and a platoon of eight people, if they encountered obstacles, they would suddenly fire thousands of arrows, and when the other party was in a hurry, it would be difficult to escape just like these brocade guards and tolerances. Each of these Tartars had two or three bows, armed with two barrels of feathered arrows. The Tartar soldiers practiced archery since childhood, and their bows were strong, and their pull power was more than one stone. Some have strong arms and have more pulling force for bows and arrows. The distance shot by the arrows of the Tartar soldiers is much stronger than that of the officers and soldiers. These tolerances met the Tartar soldiers, and they could only be sent to death. It's those Jinyi guards with strong martial arts, when they encounter a surprise attack by the army, thousands of feather arrows are shot at the same time, where is there still life?"
Murong Danyan and Xiao Zhanpeng looked at the corpses that had been trampled into flesh on the long street, and they couldn't even speak. After a while, Xiao Zhanpeng smiled bitterly and said, "What kind of martial arts do we practice? If we meet a large army, we can only wait to be killed." ”
Murong Danyan said: "Brother Li, I finally know why you don't want those Jianghu characters to fight against the rebels. If you encounter an army, no matter how high your martial arts are, it is already a fluke that you can escape with your life, so how can you talk about a field war?"
Li Qiufeng said: "Fang Cai Feihua was forced back into the long street by the Jinyi guards month by month, and before the arrival of the Tartar soldiers, they had sent someone to pass down the order, and the whole town was curfew tonight. When they saw someone on the street, the Tartar soldiers opened the way with feathered arrows without asking why. The tolerance that was lying in ambush above our heads and on the opposite roof was shot to death first, and the brocade guards and tolerance on the long street also became targets. These Tartars were the vanguard of the rebels, and a brigade of rebels would arrive in two or three hours. Let's leave first and avoid entanglement with them. What's more, Zhao Zhen, Liu Zongyan and others are also in the army, if they meet these people, they are afraid that it will not be easy to get out. ”
At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of shouting from the long street. Li Qiufeng and the others looked from the window, but saw that the woman in white was pulling the young man and had jumped onto the roof opposite, but Feihua chased after him with a long sword in his hand.
Li Qiufeng said to Murong Danyan and the others: "There must be a lot of secrets on these people, and they have a great relationship with the safety of the Central Plains martial arts. Li will say goodbye to you, if there is a fate in the future, we will see you in the rivers and lakes. ”
Murong Danyan said, "Brother Li, I'll go with you." ”
Li Qiufeng was stunned and said, "Miss Murong, you better go back to Jiangnan." Besides, Miss Ma also wants you to take care of ......."
Before he finished speaking, Murong Danyan had already jumped on the windowsill, turned his head to Xiao Zhanpeng and said, "Xiao Lao Wu, Sister Ma has been taking care of you along the way, and now it's time for you to repay your kindness." You take Sister Ma to Jiangnan, don't follow me anymore. ”
After she finished speaking, she flew out with her right foot, and after a few ups and downs, she reached the opposite roof, and chased straight after Feihua, Zhuyue and others.
Li Qiufeng was afraid that Murong Danyan would lose, so he had to bow his hand to Xiao Zhanpeng and Ma Dongqing, and then followed.
Li Qiufeng caught up with Murong Danyan, and the two knew that Feihua was not weak in martial arts, so they didn't dare to follow too closely. The two men were dressed in black again, and they couldn't see clearly from a distance. Fortunately, the clothes of the woman in white were very conspicuous in the night, and there was no hurry to follow the two of them.
After a pillar of incense, the two of them had chased out of the town and came to a wood. Suddenly, the woman in white stopped, turned to Feihua Zhuyue and said, "You two minions, why are you struggling with each other?!"
Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan hid far behind a big tree, not daring to get too close.
But I heard Feihua say: "Miss, the old master has already instructed, you must bring the little master back, please don't embarrass the slave." ”
The woman in white said: "He has promised to let me bring Ju'er home, why did he go back on his word?!"
Feihua said: "This is what the old master meant, the slave doesn't know." Miss, after you take the little master back, when you see the old master, he will explain the reason. ”
The woman in white shook her head and said sadly: "He has never had me in his heart, otherwise he would not have sent me to that dirty place when I was fourteen years old." ”
