Chapter 87: Siege and Interception
"How many people are this?" Fang Xihe looked at the dead bodies lying on the ground, frowning tightly on his horse. He rushed over from Xihewan Town non-stop, and it took less than an hour on the way, thinking that after arriving, he would be able to see Zhang Qing who was tied in front of the horse, but he didn't expect that the idea of a surprising piercing hand had already broken through several groups of people who blocked the search.
"Helmsman, most of these are members of the local gang, there are about thirty or forty casualties, our people have met him twice, and the death of Rayong Zhang Yi and more than a dozen gangsters who led the team. Next to him, his co-helmsman replied cautiously.
To be honest, his original intention was to intercept Zhang Qing on the river or when he first came ashore, but he didn't want to be quietly crossed by the other party first, and then move away from the riverbank into the hilly area before he knew it.
Although the news I got in time behind me was also arranged in order to arrange an encirclement just in case, I didn't expect the prey to be so fierce this time, and it actually rushed left and right in the encirclement of his own house.
Due to the complex terrain of the hilly terrain, the search can only be carried out in the form of a squad. But a team of more than ten people, with a team of all-martial artists led by the late day after tomorrow, couldn't stop the other party's time for a cup of tea, so that everyone and others could only follow behind to catch up, which was really unexpected.
Now they had been wandering around the hills for two or three hours, and the sun had set in the west, but they had not even seen each other's shadows, but had only received constant signals to spot the enemy. But when it gets over, there is basically only one mess left.
For some reason, the other two seemed to be very sensitive, and they were always able to evade the tracking of the large army, and find the weakest point with the least number of people to attack, which made him very annoyed.
Seeing Fang Xihe's pale face, the deputy helmsman hurriedly said: "According to the wounded report, that kid not only has a sharp weapon, but also has extraordinary moves, these warriors in the countryside have never seen such a fast knife at all, and they can't even block a move when they meet suddenly." ”
And he was accompanied by a woman who used poison, and some people just inhaled a trace of poisonous smoke, and they fell to the ground, and their meridians were torn, which was also the reason why they couldn't resist. ”
Seeing that his boss's anger was about to come out, he said again: "But it is said that the other party is not without damage, there are still living gangsters who said that Zhang Yi stabbed that kid before he died, and the leader of the Iron Hand Gang nearby also hit the other party in the palm." ”
"And the subordinates have observed, the corpse here has just been dead for more than two quarters of an hour, and we should be able to catch up soon!"
"Hmph, then what are you waiting for? Don't chase it yet!" Fang Xihe's anger was almost full, and he finally found the traces of the other party, but he lost his troops again, even if he caught the culprit, he would probably be killed. He was about to ride his horse, but found that the road was rough and difficult, and the horses were tired after several hours of pursuit. So he dismounted directly and rushed forward with light work.
The subordinates behind him saw that the boss had abandoned his horse and moved forward, so why didn't he hurry up and follow? One by one, they all got off their horses and chased after Fang Xihe.
。。。。。。
"Whew, whoa".
Heavy breathing came out of Zhang Qing's mouth, his current state is not very good, after all, high-intensity continuous combat and rushing are extremely physically exertional. Someone was stabbed in the left shoulder, and now he was just hurriedly bandaged, but fortunately, Ah Longyin had ready-made hemostatic medicine in his hand, so that he would not lose his combat effectiveness due to excessive blood loss.
But the external injury is okay, the key is that he was hit in the left rib by a guy who is good at palm skills during the siege, although then that person was poisoned and killed by A Longyin's blue fire needle, and by the way, he also deterred others, but Zhang Qing still suffered internal injuries. Even though that person's palm power was ordinary and did not cause deeper damage, there was still a faint pain in the place where he was hit, not only did his internal qi run sluggishly here, but it also made his movements no longer so fast.
In contrast, Ah Longyin is much better, although her fist and foot skills are average, but she is protected by poison, and the attention of the enemy's main force is basically focused on Zhang Qing, and he is constantly helping the girl attract the enemy, so although Ah Longyin is hanging on one arm, she miraculously did not suffer any new injuries.
Although with his magical sense of crisis, he has repeatedly chosen the path with the least number of enemies, and now he has not only rushed a lot of distance to the east, but has not encountered the opponent's large army, but the sense of crisis in his mind is getting heavier and heavier.
Zhang Qing knew that compared to fighting and detouring, the enemy could follow the signal and go straight to his place. So he specially changed direction several times, and it did delay the other party's pursuit.
In addition, because the encirclement is not small, the enemies are scattered, and most people don't know Zhang Qing's strength, so many people don't send signals as soon as they find him. And by the time he realized that he was not the opponent of Zhang Qing and the others, it was already too late to ask for help. Therefore, this also delayed the judgment of the large army chasing behind.
It was already afternoon, and I just hoped that there would be a little more delay, as long as the sun set and the enemy's vision was blocked, and they had a better chance of escaping the encirclement.
Speaking of which, Hades's move played a great role in this raid battle. Zhang Qing relied on the sharpness of his weapon, and his own qi recovered quickly, and he used this lightning-fast knife move many times. Not only can it quickly solve the enemy, but it can also minimize the probability of the opponent running away to report the news, so that Fang Xi and the group who were chasing behind him ran a lot of unjust roads.
But there will always be opponents who can't kill and fish that escape, and Zhang Qing can't waste time chasing after him, so Fang Xihe can still know his general route.
And in the use of it again and again, he became more and more impressed by this trick and became more and more proficient.
In addition to the comprehension of the moves, he also unexpectedly gained another benefit.
When he obtained the Disaster Knife, he could faintly feel the spirituality in the knife, and later resonated with the Disaster Knife because of the use of the forging method recorded in the "Sword Record".
At that time, he was still very excited to continue to use the internal qi refining in order to make the spirituality in the knife stronger, but later he found out that no matter what method he used, he could only feel this spirituality, except for the time when he obtained the wood core, he felt a certain fluctuation, and then he would not increase or decrease because of any of his actions.
Although he heard Bai Huiye say that a martial artist can cultivate the spirituality in the weapon, he thought that his own realm was not enough, so he later regarded it as normal.
However, when he slashed out the Hades post many times, he unexpectedly felt the joy of the Disaster Knife, just like the first time he inserted the Disaster Knife into the scabbard of the willow tree core, and the feeling was even more obvious. Although I don't know what stimulated its spirituality, it would not be wrong to use the trick of Hades.
Although no obvious benefit has yet to emerge, instinct tells him that it is a good thing.
Zhang Qing thought as he caught up with the last guy in front of him who was frightened and turned to run away and killed him, while Ah Longyin also cut the neck of another poisoned person with a dagger.
Originally, she faced the enemy empty-handed, supplemented by a steel needle hidden weapon, but first, except for the blue fire needle, the other steel needles were not quenched and not lethal enough; second, after a few battles, except for the remaining three blue fire needles in her hand, the others had already been used up, so now Ah Longyin had to fight with a snatched dagger in order to resist the opponent's weapons and kill the enemy more quickly.
The group of people who had just been killed was obviously not the elite of the Tinghe Gang, it should be a small gang summoned by a corresponding summon nearby, and all of them died here if the speculation failed.
Zhang Qing casually dragged a kettle from the corpse, quickly replenished the water, observed the surrounding environment, and looked at Ah Longyin, who was sitting on the ground with a tired butt, and said to her: "The enemy is denser than I imagined, I estimate that if I go a little further, I will meet their people." If we continue to kill like this, even if we don't miss, we will be exhausted to death. Ah Longyin, can you still summon the Poisonous Insect Array now? We need to delay it until at least dark. ”
The young lady frowned in embarrassment: "I can summon some poison, but one hand can't exert the full power of the song, and the poison in every place is limited." It took me a day to gather the poisonous insects that besieged the bad guys that day, and now if I summon them on the fly, there is no guarantee that I can find them. ”
"Okay, you can summon as much as you can on the road, let's find a place, find a way to delay the pursuers, and we must stay up until night. ”
After saying that, he didn't walk along the path in the forest anymore, and pulled Ah Longyin to turn around and climb towards the hills around him. The hills are densely covered with vegetation, which will hide more poisonous insects, and leaving the path opened by pedestrians from here can also make it more difficult for the other party to pursue.
