Chapter 203: The world howls in pain like a wounded beast
The ground shook and the mountains shook, and there was a loud rumble.
The cliffs on both sides of the official road and countless boulders rolled down towards the convoy below with a 'boom' sound.
The mutation happened so fast that the guards in front of the convoy could barely react, and the most ridiculous thing was that the horses under them were not well-trained war horses, these ordinary horses had never seen such a scene of shaking the ground in their lives, and the panicked horses neighed endlessly, and they were extremely noisy.
Because of the heavy snow, the depression and steep place on the cliff wall are almost paved with snow, so the speed of the boulder rolling down is very fast, almost two breaths, the boulder rumbles down with a strong acceleration force, and the bluestone slab on the official road is smashed out of a huge pit.
Gravel and black snowflakes splashed out in all directions, thick earth fog and small avalanches obscured their vision, and the most important thing was the horses under them, the instinct to survive made them burst out with great strength, many of the guards were even thrown off, and people turned on their backs for a while.
When Jiang Ru came out of the carriage, what he saw was a scene, he had an extra simple long sword in his hand, and his sharp eyebrows were far from the appearance of a gentle gentleman, he frowned slightly, and pressed the dantian:
"Panic what! Calm down and stay in formation!"
The sound echoed on both sides of the official road like the roar of a Buddhist lion, and the frightened and frantic horses even fell to the ground because of the horse's hooves.
"Protecting the Old Lady'......"
With the appearance of Jiang Ru's backbone, the panicked guards immediately calmed down, a sturdy middle-aged man, who should be the leader of the guards, raised the big knife in his hand, and roared loudly between Gu Pan.
Just when the guards were leaning towards the carriage and surrounding it, Jiang Ru looked around, and his heart sank to the bottom of the valley all of a sudden, the official road in front was all blocked by boulders, and the road behind was slightly better, but it was definitely not like them, and they could evacuate quickly.
Ordinary landslides are absolutely impossible to cause the current situation, it is too deliberate......
"Who is it? Who dares to be so bold as to intercept and kill the officials of the imperial court?"
Jiang Ru held the hand of the hilt of the sword, and he couldn't help but burst out, he took a deep breath, he couldn't panic, he couldn't mess up, and calmly ordered to Ge Tong, the leader of the guards, who came over: "Immediately move all the luggage carts behind you......"
"It's too late......"
Then he said something again, Jiang Ru raised his eyes slightly, and saw countless black dots on the cliff wall swarming down, extremely fast, and the heavy snow made the steep mountain wall that he usually didn't dare to jump down like walking on the ground.
"Master, even if you die...... I'm not going to let them step on it!"
It was Ge Tong, the leader of the guards, who had lived for more than forty years, and had experienced a lot of winds and waves, and after the initial panic, reason and rich life experience returned to him, and he understood that it was time to fight hard.
A trap layout of this magnitude is by no means something that can be done in a short period of time.
Jiang Ru nodded, the sharp blade was inserted into the wooden board under his feet, his slender fingers rubbed his face fiercely, and his face returned to the appearance of a gentle gentleman, with a smile, he lifted the curtain and saw his children snuggling up to his wife's side.
Those two pairs of innocent eyes brought panic and fear that he didn't want to see, Jiang Shi forced to calm down, the corners of his mouth showed a gentle smile, nodded towards Jiang Ru, and told him that everything here is with me, no need to worry.
Jiang Ru almost understood when he met that pair of water-like eyes, and he said with a smile: "A little thing, Daddy will deal with it soon, don't be afraid......"
With that, he turned around, and the curtain fell.
However, in just one sentence, chaotic shouts of killing had erupted in front of him, and at this time, he finally saw what these attacking bandits looked like.
The "colorful" clothes were patched all over their bodies, and they looked a little skinny after not eating for a long time, but their eyes were not numb and dull, but as ruthless and desperate as a lone wolf in a desperate situation, especially ......
Jiang Ru raised his eyes and met a pair of eyes full of murderous intent, it was a big man with five big and three thick, holding a tiger-headed knife in his hand, and he was leading the crowd to rush towards them.
......
On the cliff, Mr. Liang and Zhao Youfu looked at the battle that took place on the official road below, the folding fan in his hand shook a little faster than usual, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the battlefield.
After a while, the corners of his mouth outlined a shallow smile, although Gongsun Yan's guards were well-trained, but they couldn't stop this group of wolf-like mountain bandits, the most important thing is that this group of people gave up their lives to fight for a hope that they could eat a mouthful of food, their hands were broken, they could ask for teeth, and they were extremely crazy.
And there is a great advantage in numbers, even if it is one for five, it is very worthwhile, these untouchables who are wandering in front of the ghost gate can be regarded as making the best use of their dazzling brilliance at the last moment of life.
The corners of Mr. Liang's mouth couldn't help but rise, seeing that the mountain bandits had surrounded Gongsun Yan's convoy, his heart was settled, his eyes rolled, and the next thing was to solve this group of mountain bandits, and then loot the treasure and get the things in his hands, this matter was successfully solved, and then the second stage of the layout could begin.
"That's not right!"
Zhao Youfu looked at the carriage in the center of the battlefield that was protected by many guards, and his brows tightened.
"Huh?"
Mr. Liang tilted his head slightly and looked at Zhao Youfu with some confusion, folding a fan in front of his nose, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"The color of the carriage is wrong, it's red, it's not green. Zhao Youfu's weather-covered face was expressionless.
The smile on the corner of Mr. Liang's mouth froze suddenly, he looked at Zhao Youfu in disbelief, looked down, his pupils suddenly constricted, his whole body trembled faintly, and the hand holding the handle of the fan creaked, purely angry.
Originally, because of the heavy snowfall, the roof of the carriage was almost completely covered with heavy snow, and it was difficult to see what color it was, but now because of the collision of the battle, the snowdrifts on the roof fell scattered, revealing the original color, red!
"Maybe...... Maybe he suddenly changed to a carriage before he set off. β
Thinking like this in his heart, he looked at the man on the carriage again, although it was a little vague, he could vaguely see that his body shape and clothing did not look like Gongsun Yan.
"Could it be that Gongsun Yan is still in the carriage, and the person outside is just an entourage?"
This absurd idea flashed through his mind, and he knew in his heart that he must have made a mistake, and what really made him understand that the reason for the mistake was that the way the guards fought was very ordinary and featureless.
You must know that the Gongsun family is a family of generals, and Gongsun Yan was originally a general defending the city, and the guards under his hands must have a strong battlefield fighting style, and they are definitely not as ordinary as the group of guards below, but simply rely on their own force.
"Master Zhao, it's obviously a red carriage, but the minions under your hand told me that it's green?"
Mr. Liang's voice trembled faintly, and word by word popped out of his mouth: "Are you playing tricks on me? Do you think this thing is funny? Can you weigh the consequences of this incident?"
The man with a weathered face and chapped lips turned his head to look at Mr. Liang, his fierce eyes implying murderous intent.
"Then ask Zhao Da to take action personally, and we will provide enough food for the winter at one time afterwards, and I hope you can do things beautifully. β
Mr. Liang closed his eyes, forcibly suppressed the anger and murderous intent in his heart, folded the fan in front of his nose, opened his eyes, and smiled: "Be fast, otherwise you and I can't afford the consequences." β
Zhao Youfu nodded indifferently, and his figure pulled out a long phantom and rushed directly to the battlefield below.
β*************β
Mr. Liang directly greeted the three generations of women of the ancestors of the two brothers Zhao Youfu and communicated deeply with the soul, and then he was deeply frightened, the first step of the plan was wrong, and all the subsequent arrangements could only be abandoned or adjusted.
At this moment, a man dressed in black and unable to see his face suddenly appeared beside him: "Mr. Liang, there are hundreds of horsemen who are quickly approaching this side, and they are the soldiers of the Shanzi Battalion." β
"Clean up the trails thoroughly, let's go!"
Mr. Liang was dizzy for a while, and he only felt that his heart was suddenly grabbed, but in the end, he was the one who could be arranged to do such a big thing, and in just a moment, he completely calmed down, and after giving a command, he turned around and ran, there were arranged horses behind him, and it was not a problem to travel hundreds of miles a day.
Zhao Youfu couldn't have imagined that Mr. Liang on the mountain would sell them directly, as a martial artist in the marrow change stage, his physique could be said to be extremely terrifying, but in two breaths, he sprinted to the official road, squatted slightly, and flew to the side of the carriage like a cannonball.
At some point, his fists were covered with a pair of iron fists, and the fist wind whistled, and with terrifying force, it directly hit the long sword erected in front of Jiang Ru.
Sparks flew everywhere, and the long sword was deeply dented by the heavy punch, bending into a terrifying arc, clinging to Jiang Ru's chest, making a sour sound.
Jiang Ru couldn't help but take a step back, leaning against the three-foot-thick wall of the carriage, only to hear the painful wail of the horse, and the carriage fell heavily to the ground with the horse in front of him.
In the carriage, there were faint cries and exclamations, but the next second came to an abrupt end.
Jiang Ru's pupils were rapidly congested, his wrist turned slightly, and the long sword grazed Zhao Youfu's fist gloves and splashed dazzling sparks, piercing his right eye like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter.
Zhao Youfu spent most of his life either on the way to kill others, or on the way to be chased and killed, how rich his reaction was to battle, he instinctively leaned his head back, and kicked Jiang Ru out with a straight kick.
The wall of the car shattered, and Jiang Ru's body arched through the carriage and fell directly into the crowd of mountain bandits behind. These mountain bandits were also taken aback, but their faces immediately showed tyrannical killing intent, and they raised the knife and axe in their hands and slashed at Jiang Ru.
In the broken carriage, the Jiang family cried so much that the pear blossoms rained, a pair of jade hands tightly covered the mouths of their children, and they bit their lower lipes with their teeth, looking at Zhao Youfu outside in horror.
Zhao Youfu had a long cut on his right eyelid, and the blood kept flowing down, so he had to close his right eye, glanced at Jiang Ru, who was desperately waving his long sword among the mountain bandits, and wanted to rush over, and then looked down at the beautiful woman in the carriage, with a hideous smile on his face.
"Kill them and fight quickly......"
He said a word to Zhao Youcai, who was fighting fiercely with Ge Tong, wiped the blood on his eyelids, closed his five fingers, and went straight to Jiang Ru.
"Hahaha......"
Zhao Youcai let out a series of strange laughs from his mouth, and the tiger head knife in his hand waved with a howling sound of a ghost crying, and slashed at Ge Tong's head.
Just now he also saw the woman in the carriage, her appearance is stunning, but it's a pity...... However, the corpse can still be returned in the tropics.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Youcai's mouth suddenly let out a sickly laugh, his pupils were bloodshot, his thick arms were green and tendonous, and the tiger's head and big knife were raised high with the force of rebound, and then with a dull sound of wind, he slashed Huashan with a blow and cut off the long knife that Ge Tong was blocking in front of him.
Blood splattered!
Jiang Ru had already fallen into madness, and he could take the life of a mountain bandit with a swing of his long sword, his strength was only slightly weaker than Zhao Youfu, but compared to these mountain bandits, he didn't know how many grades stronger.
But...... These mountain bandits hardly care about their lives, as long as they still have a breath, they will drag Jiang Ru's pace to death, and prevent him from going over to save people.
Jiang Ru was like a madman, he was so anxious that he couldn't exert the maximum effect with the least amount of strength, and he often slashed the enemy's throat with a single sword, but at this time, he smashed and chopped the heads of these mountain bandits like wielding a big knife!
But the eyes are all ugly faces with black teeth, and the corners of their mouths are hideous smiles, and they risk their lives to block his breath or two.
"Ahh
Among the mountain bandits, Zhao Youfu stared coldly at Jiang Ru's figure, holding a short blade in his hand, and quietly approached Jiang Ru, in his eyes, this kind of enemy who was full of weaknesses and flaws was too easy to deal with.
A slight sound of breaking the air sounded, and the short blade approached Jiang Ru's head.
The alarm bell sounded loudly in his mind, Jiang Ru's eyes twitched slightly, and a pitch-black short blade stabbed straight towards his head, getting closer and closer, bigger and bigger!
Just when Zhao Youfu was about to kill Jiang Ru.
The snowdrifts under their feet trembled slightly, but not many people noticed this in the chaotic battlefield, and at this time, the figures of a hundred cavalry appeared on the official road behind them and rushed towards this side.
But what really caught their attention was a red comet falling into the sky!
Rumble!
The terrifying sound exploded, the snowflakes under his feet were melted in an instant, and countless earth and stones surged up like huge waves, and then they were violently swept away by the violent energy, and they exploded in the air!
A bitter howl sounded, and the smell of blood instantly became thicker.
A thick palm pinched Zhao Youfu's right hand holding the blade, squeezed it fiercely, the short blade shattered, Zhao Youfu's right hand was twisted from the palm to the shoulder like a twist, blood burst out of the arm, and then threw it like throwing off a tattered toy, hitting the mountain bandit in front.
Until this time, Zhao Youfu's pupils had not yet risen in horror, and even the pain seemed to be a step late, the howling wind blew in his ears, and his body drew a parabola and crashed into the crowd of mountain bandits, 'Click, click' The crisp sound of broken bones sounded, and more than a dozen mountain bandits behind him howled miserably and fell to the ground.
"Ahh
Zhao Youfu trembled and clutched his broken right half of his body, howling in pain.
Li Xian frowned slightly, glanced down at Jiang Ru, who seemed to be stunned, and then looked at these mountain bandits on the field, a trace of scarlet flashed in his eyes, and he stepped out, and his huge palm roared and slapped the heads of several mountain bandits along with the bones of his neck, and the blood flew high like a fountain!
The blood mist exploded.
In just a few breaths, dozens of mountain bandits were instantly slapped into a cloud of blood mist by the huge force, and their bodies were torn apart.
"Ah!" A hysterical scream sounded, and the last two dozen or so mountain bandits rushed towards Li Xian.
Li Xian's face was expressionless, and with a flick of his fingers, the restless red seedling 'boomed', turning into a fierce roaring fire dragon that directly engulfed the mountain bandits who rushed over.
The red flames scorched the flesh and skin, the snowdrifts under their feet evaporated, and in the flames, the mountain bandits turned into black ashes before they could even howl miserably!
In the midst of the rabbit and the falcon, except for the dozen mountain bandits who were killed and injured with the guards, the rest of the mountain bandits were all killed by Li Xian alone.
At this time, only the wailing Zhao Youfu and the sinister smile on the corner of the carriage were left on the battlefield, and Zhao Youcai, who was frozen on his face with a cruel smile on his face, it was too fast, too fast.
Dozens of lives were almost all killed in the blink of an eye, and the lethality of the martial artists of the One Realm can be seen!
"Phewβ"
Hundreds of soldiers of the Shanzi battalion frantically whipped the horses under them and finally arrived, and the sound of iron pieces of armor sounded, and all the soldiers turned over and mounted with solemn expressions, surrounding the battlefield.
Jiang Ru didn't have time to thank him, looking at Zhao Youcai beside the carriage, a bad premonition gradually rose in his heart, and he rushed to the carriage with a rolling belt.
"Hey......"
Li Xian sighed faintly in his heart, and when he found that there was a battle on the official road in front of him, he immediately abandoned his horse and galloped at great speed, but despite this, he was still a step late, and almost all of them died.
"Brother Li......" Xiao Liuzi walked over with Yan Le with a solemn face, and looked up at Li Xian slightly.
"Clean up the battlefield. β
"Whoa!"
Xiao Liuzi immediately bowed his hand.
After Li Xian gave the order, he only had time to observe the surroundings at this time, and he found that the official road in front of him had been blocked by boulders, and then he looked at the top of the mountain on both sides, frowning slightly.
"Dare to attack the imperial court officials on the official road?"
You must know that the roads built by the court of the Great Jin Dynasty, although they are collectively called official roads, are usually divided into two, one is a road that ordinary people can also walk, and the other is an official road that only officials and soldiers can walk.
In the end, he looked at Zhao Youfu, who was deliberately left by him, and Zhao Youcai, who was already scared stupid.
"Ahh
A heart-rending wail of pain echoed through the wind and snow.
In the carriage, Jiang Ru's long hair was scattered on his face, his eyes were bloodshot and the whites of his eyes could hardly be seen, his body trembled, and he carefully stretched out his hand and gently touched his son Jiang Han's face, and red blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.
Tears flowed uncontrollably, and a long knife pierced Jiang Han's abdomen, and the child stood in front of the bad guy who wanted to hurt his mother and sister with open hands.
"I will definitely protect my mother and sister. β
"Uh-"
Jiang Ru's mouth unconsciously made a sound of collapse, his world collapsed, collapsed vividly, collapsed in all directions.
The long knife also pierced through the Jiang clan who was holding Jiang Han, and there was still pain and heartbreak in her eyes.
"Ah...... Yes...... Ah......h
Jiang Ru hammered his heart hard, tears blurred his eyes, and he collapsed to the ground and let out a cries of collapse.
