Chapter 10: A Call for Help
In the face of the rain of arrows, Zhou Guangheng suddenly found a fatal problem: although he extinguished the torches, so many people crowded together was equivalent to a big target. Even if it is difficult for the opponent to see clearly, as long as you shoot an arrow in the general direction, you may be able to hit.
"Quick, get back into the house!"
He shouted in a deep voice.
Li Wan didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly led everyone to rush to the house on the right.
It's just that when retreating, there was a popping sound, and in the end, there were still random arrows that hit people, and they screamed again and again.
After Zhou Guangheng struggled to break, he used his sword to block the arrows, and when he heard the miserable cry, his face sank so much that he was about to drip water.
This wave of arrow rain, I don't know how many dead and injured will there be?
In fact, the rookie disciples are too immature, lack of fighting experience, and the strength of self-protection, so many people, Zhou Guangheng and Li Wan can't take care of them at all.
At this time, Zhou Guangheng became more and more calm, dancing the sword with one hand, and touching something from his arms with the other, pulling, exhaling, a purple light flew into the sky, and then exploded, forming a huge mid-mountain pattern, which was particularly conspicuous in the night sky.
This is the Lingtai Sword Sect's unique distress signal, quite precious, this time to escort the newcomer, the task is important, Zhou Guangheng only distributed one, the current situation is critical, immediately use it. As long as a fellow door sees it, they will immediately rush to the rescue.
This place is not far from the Lingtai Sword Sect, and the hope of asking for help has greatly increased.
At the same time, Zhou Guangheng had some doubts in his heart: Why did the people of Heifeng Mountain choose to launch an attack here? Could it be that it was to clear their suspicions, so they didn't do anything near Yangzhou?
Also, how did the other party learn that they were taking this route and set up an ambush in advance?
There is a mole?
These three words dangled in his heart, and Zhou Guangheng only felt a chill in his heart.
The route of the escort mission this time was formulated by Yang Lincong, but in the sect branch library in Yangzhou, there were as many people as many people in the know, including Zhou Guangyu and Li Wan.
It's just that in a hurry, Zhou Guangheng didn't have time to think about it, and quickly retreated into the house and asked, "How many casualties?"
Li Wan replied: "Three fell on the outside, and two were injured on the inside." ”
Hearing this number, the muscles on Zhou Guangheng's face couldn't help but beat: It's really a heavy casualty!
Li Wan said hurriedly: "Senior brother, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, they must have already arranged it." ”
Zhou Guangheng smiled bitterly: "I know it, but how can I get out?"
Li Wan was silent, if there were only the two of them, it would not be difficult to get out, but with so many people, it would be different.
After thinking about it, Zhou Guangheng said in a deep voice: "Today's plan, I must go out to kill the enemy, junior sister, you stay and guard." ”
Nesting in a house is never the best strategy, it is too passive, score people out, cut off part of the surrounding enemy, and then break through.
Zhou Guangheng thought, the enemy should only come to one Liu Suifeng, and the rest of the minions are inferior, even if there are many people, they are by no means their opponents, as long as they kill the archers who are ambushed in the shadows, the rest will be much easier.
Li Wan nodded: "Senior brother, be careful, when you retreat, you will retreat." ”
Zhou Guangheng took a breath, didn't say much, shook his body, and ran out.
Everyone in the room gathered together, all of them had a look of panic, they had basically never experienced such a dangerous scene, and when they thought of their partners who died outside, some people couldn't help but cry quietly.
"What are you crying about?
Li Wan was in a bad mood and shouted unceremoniously. She was both irritated by the predicament she was encountering, and worried about her senior brother outside.
Not long after, there were screams outside, one after another, endlessly.
Li Wan listened carefully, and her face was happy: "Senior brother has succeeded!"
Hearing this, all the newcomer disciples were in high spirits, and felt that Senior Brother Zhou's cultivation was profound, and he should be able to turn things around and protect their safety.
said that Zhou Guangheng went out with his sword, jumped on the roof with agility, and lurked for a while before setting off to find the target.
However, he had only finished searching a nearby house and found nothing, and was about to go to the next place when he heard screams from ahead.
Zhou Guangheng was stunned for a moment, he didn't know why, and subconsciously lay on the roof, responding to all changes with the same.
Then came a second howl, coming from another direction, followed by a third......
"Could it be that a fellow disciple came to save him so soon?"
For the first time, Zhou Guangheng thought like this, and his heart was overjoyed. But soon, he wondered again, if it was really a master sent by the sword, why did it keep quiet?
At this time, someone on the roof of a house not far away was exclaiming, "What is it?"
Immediately, three or four figures were forced out and appeared on the roof.
The night sky is not clear enough tonight, there is still the light of the stars and the moon, although it is faint, but it is not a dark and windy night.
The opportunity could not be lost, Zhou Guangheng no longer hesitated, and immediately burst out, swept over, waved the sword light, and soon assassinated the three or four people.
Almost the same situation was soon played out on the other side.
After killing several people in a row, Zhou Guangheng's sword dripped, but he still didn't figure out what was going on, and he didn't see anyone helping him. The minions of Black Wind Mountain seemed to be disturbed by something strange, and then jumped out of their own accord, revealing their whereabouts.
Of course, Zhou Guangheng will not be polite in this regard.
Snort!
A beautiful "starry moon" harvested two heads.
At this time, there was a sudden silence all around.
Zhou Guangheng gasped for breath, and slashed one after another, although he killed easily, but consumption was inevitable, and he opened his mouth and shouted: "Liu Suifeng, haven't you come out yet?"
There was a sound of footsteps, and a man walked out of the street below.
This man was of medium height, in a black robe, and even his head and face were covered, and he could not see his appearance at all, and the robe on his body was strangely wide, but he did not know where to hide his bow and arrows. But even if he didn't use a black robe to cover himself, Zhou Guangheng couldn't recognize people.
He hadn't met with Liu Suifeng before, but he knew from the intelligence that there was such a person in Black Wind Mountain.
"So far, I'm still hiding my head and shrinking my tail, I'm sorry!"
Zhou Guangheng jumped down and held it against him with his sword.
At this time, hearing that there was no movement outside, and feeling that the senior brother had stabilized the scene, Li Wan led everyone out of the hiding house, stood beside Zhou Guangheng, and helped the senior brother sweep the formation.
"Senior brother, do you want to rest?"
Li Wan asked with concern.
"No, I'll take him over. ”
reversed the situation, Zhou Guangheng was arrogant. This attack was made disgraced by some so-called people in the rivers and lakes, and he was already angry in his heart. This Liu Suifeng, who took the lead, was the best target for anger, he wanted to teach the other party a good lesson, and then capture him alive and go up the mountain and hand it over to the sect to deal with. In this way, it will be possible to ask who is behind the scenes, and the culpability of his poor escort can be reduced by a few points.
Saying that, he strode over, not to mention nonsense, the long sword was like a rainbow, and he stabbed it with a move "Changhong through the sun".
The figure of the black-robed man shook, almost to the extreme, and suddenly shook to Zhou Guangheng's right side, and slapped it down with a wave of his hand.
Zhou Guangheng couldn't dodge, his shoulder was slapped, and he was almost rolled, he staggered back a few steps, and shouted loudly: "You, you are not Liu Suifeng!"
