Chapter 208: Escape from Death
Su Jia stood on the eaves, and downstairs was facing her, but there were several bundles of black pipes......
Wang Dasheng's subordinates pushed out the few bronze cannons that had not yet been put back, and the mouth of the pipe was pointed directly at Su Jia. Su Jia was a little stunned, the vicious battle with Wang Dasheng just now made Su Jia consume a lot of internal strength, and at this time, in the face of powerful gunpowder, no matter how high Su Jia's martial arts are, there will be no way.
Su Jia was stunned, his eyes looked at the mouth of the copper cannon that could shoot a cannonball at any time, although the place he occupied was dozens of zhang away from the copper cannon, but once the gunpowder ignited, just one shell was enough to blow up this place into ruins, and at the same time, it was possible to raze the ground in an instant. If you don't get out of here right away, you're likely to be crushed in an instant.
Wang Dasheng, who was opposite Su Jia, seemed to be relieved a little, stood up slowly, still looking at Su Jia with that cold look, and said with a sneer: "I said, you can't get out of here alive today...... Although I can't defeat you in martial arts, I am a little unwilling, but girl, you are now the number one person wanted by the Bianliang Prime Minister's Mansion, and you can't blame General Ben for being ruthless......" As he spoke, Wang Dasheng had already made preparations for his subordinates to launch cannons, and the order was issued immediately.
The soldiers downstairs had already lit the fuse, Su Jia had no chance to hesitate anymore, as long as it was a moment, the black nozzle would shoot out a powerful cannon, and Su Jia would be too late to take Wang Dasheng hostage even if he used his light skills now.
Of course, Su Jia didn't think much about it, and she didn't have time to think about it, so she turned around and jumped downstairs.
And at the same time, I only heard a few "bang-bang" sounds. Several shells were fired from the mouth of the copper cannon almost simultaneously, and the flying fire shot towards the eaves where Su Jia was standing just now.
Wang Dasheng also knew the power of the copper cannon, and retreated to the back one step earlier than Su Jia.
Su Jia only jumped off half of her body...... "boom-". A deafening loud bang exploded in Su Jia's ears, and gunpowder and hot shrapnel occasionally slashed through Su Jia's sideburns. Su Jia seemed to be a little confused at that moment, she had never experienced such a strong shock, life and death were in an instant, even when she was once hit by Lu Huan's "Soul Snatching Palm", when she was fighting against Wang Dasheng. Compared to the shells exploding around her at this time, Su Jia had never felt that the feeling of death was so close to her......
The powerful cannonball directly exploded the eaves where Su Jia was standing just now, followed by another loud explosion. The upstairs collapsed completely, and the sawdust tiles drifted in the wind, and the destructive power was chilling.
Fortunately, the cannonball didn't hurt Su Jia much, and Su Jia was just shocked by the power of the cannonball just now. Consciousness didn't go away for long. When he was about to land, Su Jia's consciousness quickly recovered, and he immediately landed steadily with light skills.
But the good times didn't last long, a large number of Mengyuan soldiers surrounded this building just now, and when Su Jia just fell to the ground, she was still full of people standing next to her.
However, whether it was Su Jia or Mengyuan soldiers, the two sides had not yet made a move, after all, the shell just now was very powerful. The eaves have not yet calmed down. Sure enough, under the impact of a shell. Two huge beams smashed directly from the top of Su Jia's head.
The surrounding soldiers didn't dare to step forward immediately, Su Jia saw it, and used some of the internal strength he still had to keep, wanting to continue to fight to the death. I saw Su Jia gritting her teeth, and the whole person turned around with one hand, and then jumped lightly, jumping onto the beam in an instant. Before it was over, Su Jia gathered his footsteps, stepped up with one side leg, and kicked the heavy beam into the crowd of Meng Yuan's soldiers.
Su Jia's foot strength is indeed great, the beam weighing hundreds of pounds was kicked by Su Jia, and the powerful impact force flew sideways, and the first Meng Yuan soldiers in the front row screamed for a while, and all of them were crushed to the ground by the beam.
There is also a beam, Su Jia gently pushed it with the instep of her foot, then withdrew the ghost knife with her right hand, and used all her strength to hold the hundred-pound beam in her hand. Don't look at Su Jia's slender jade hands like a weak woman, the internal strength of martial arts is really terrifying, and lifting the hundred-pound beam with both hands can be like a stick.
Of course, Su Jia also consumed a lot of her physical strength like this, but in the face of the vast number of Mengyuan soldiers around, Su Jia had no room to think about it anymore, holding the beams with both hands, and swept at the Mengyuan soldiers around her.
Due to the long and heavy beams of the house, a group of Mengyuan soldiers holding Miao knives did not dare to step forward immediately. But the more this is the case, the more active Su Jia who is surrounded in the center. I saw Su Jia in full swing, carrying the beams of the house a few times, with the momentum of sweeping thousands of troops, and swept towards the crowd.
The surrounding Mengyuan soldiers were stunned, they couldn't believe it, just now on the eaves of the house was like a slim fairy, when it came to the fight, just like a resolute and unyielding female general, not only defeated Wang Dasheng, dodged the salvo of the copper cannon, and now still has the strength to deal with the thousands of Mengyuan troops. Seeing Su Jia so desperate, the surrounding soldiers did not dare to step forward.
Of course, Su Jia is also willing to fight at this time, and now that Wang Dasheng has not recovered, Su Jia's chances of escaping successfully are even higher. Seeing that Su Jia was settled, seeing that the soldiers around him were more than ten steps away from him, Su Jia puffed up, held up the huge beam weighing 100 catties in the air with both hands, and then shouted "ah-" by himself, turned around and kicked the beam with all his strength.
Su Jia's strength was so amazing that the soldiers around him were stunned. Sure enough, the second beam flew by, and all the surrounding Mengyuan soldiers were in disarray, and most of them were knocked to the ground by the beams that flew over, and the queue instantly collapsed.
Su Jia saw that the opportunity was coming, and she didn't think much about it, and continued to use her light skills to step on the eaves, preparing to leave here quickly with a condescending advantage.
However, at the moment when Su Jia stepped on the eaves again, Su Jia's side face saw something he didn't want to see again-the nozzles of several copper cannons downstairs were still facing him, as if he had already waited for himself to fly up to the eaves.
The gunpowder had already ignited, and Su Jia's feet were still hanging in the air, unable to change direction immediately. At the moment of life and death, there was a violent sound of cannonballs flying downstairs......
"Boom-" The roof of the house where Su Jia was standing just now was blown flat again, and the roof exploded in all directions. Roof tiles and sawdust flew in mid-air. This time, the distance of the shell explosion was closer to Su Jia, it was really a moment of life and death, and when the shell exploded, Su Jia had just left the eaves.
Sure enough, this time Su Jia seemed to be a little injured, and felt that her body was injured by some of the copper cannons, and Su Jia's whole body was numb with pain. There is not much internal force left in the body.
It was naturally Wang Dasheng who gave the order to open fire, and Wang Dasheng saw it very accurately, it seemed that it was before Su Jia jumped on the roof. It's already predetermined.
A soldier leader next to him saw it and asked Wang Dasheng: "General, although this girl is powerful, it seems that she can't hold on for long." Is it necessary for us to continue to use the bronze cannon against her?"
Wang Dasheng said coldly: "You can't underestimate her. She was no ordinary person, and that night she had broken into the Prime Minister's Mansion alone, and neither I nor the other two General Wang had been able to subdue her...... Now is the time to take her down, and you can't afford to take her lightly. Now it was like this, the whole army went into action, aimed the copper cannon at the roof of the eaves, and once she tried to escape from the eaves, she pursued it with the copper cannon. If she runs away from the ground. We ordered the army to line up to intercept her, and it would be difficult for her to fly! If she dares to oppose the entire Mengyuan court, she will definitely be a dangerous person, and now she is worth more than an army, so she must be caught and executed immediately! She must have just landed now, and the order must be sent down, and the three armies in the city, the sword and shield soldiers will serve in formation; the cavalry will cover the back road, turn the three alleys and attack, and force her into a corner, and she must not be allowed to escape!"
"Order-" The leader of the soldiers received the order, so he immediately sent his men to signal the change of the formation of the troops......
On Su Jia's side, he experienced another explosion next to him, and this time it was even more violent, and now the whole body is a little numb. However, Su Jia still endured, after all, he still had the remaining internal strength, and if he only dealt with Wang Dasheng's soldiers and horses, it was not impossible to retreat.
Su Jia also understood that the moment he stepped on the eaves just now, Wang Dasheng must have predicted haode in advance, and expected that he would escape from the high point with light skills, and Wang Dasheng had already waited. The only way to do this is to find an opportunity to escape from the ground.
Due to the bombardment of several copper cannons, some people near the center of the city have begun to have some riots, and now the Mengyuan army has begun to flank Su Jia in the streets and alleys, and the people on the street immediately hid in the buildings next to them, and only Su Jia and Mengyuan's soldiers were left on the street. Su Jia also thought that if she stepped on the eaves again, Wang Dasheng's bronze cannon would definitely hurt the innocent, so Su Jia also decided not to step on the eaves again.
Of course, without the condescending advantage, Su Jia's escape was naturally a lot more difficult. Su Jia was not very familiar with the terrain here, and when she turned to a narrow alley, she saw several Mengyuan soldiers waiting for her here for a long time.
Su Jia felt that she could break through the barrier at one time, so she pulled out the ghost knife on her body without stopping, and the ghost roared away. However, the Meng Yuan soldiers on the opposite side were not afraid, as if they had already prepared, they raised their shields at the same time, forming a barrier layer by layer, ready to block Su Jia's knife.
Su Jia's "Soul Breaking Sword Technique" is amazingly powerful, but if it encounters layers of barrier defenses, it is impossible to break it with one blow. In addition, Su Jia's internal strength has been consumed a lot, and now this knife only has six or seven percent of the power left. I saw that the ghost shadow knife flew towards the shield of the Mengyuan soldiers, and it only knocked down a dozen or so pawns in the front row, but did not cause substantial damage.
Su Jia couldn't solve it with a knife, and she was a little impatient, and she wanted to rush forward, and kicked her "shield array" away with a nearby kick. However, just when Su Jia wanted to get closer, dozens of knife tips suddenly appeared from the gap in the shield - it seemed that these Mengyuan soldiers were prepared and well-trained, and the formation of the sword and shield soldiers was so targeted.
Su Jia immediately stopped advancing, looking at the formation of the Mengyuan soldiers in the front row and the whole line of moves, Su Jia immediately thought that the soldiers under Wang Dasheng were well-trained. Afraid of being outflanked by the army behind, Su Jia didn't dare to spend more here, so she turned around and fled in other directions.
But Su Jia's turn also happened to fall into Wang Dasheng's trap. The lingering back and forth can only be kept wandering in the center of the city, and it is impossible to reach the city gate to escape. The longer the time dragged on, and the infantry and cavalry surrounded by Wang Dasheng were strictly guarded in the street battle formation, then Su Jia would really be unable to fly.
Really. Su Jia, who was like a "headless fly", unconsciously went around to a street entrance, and heard the sound of horses' hooves - Wang Dasheng's army was very open, and immediately blocked Su Jia's way to escape. Su Jia didn't think much about it. Continue to turn around and flee. However, the result was still the same, I didn't take many detours, and I could always see the soldiers who surrounded me.
Wang Dasheng is very familiar with the terrain here, and the speed at which the army surrounds him is also second to second. Su Jia saw that she was about to have no way to escape, and she felt extremely nervous in her heart.
"Where to go now, there are Wang Dasheng's troops everywhere. It seems that Wang Dasheng's ability to command the army is indeed terrifying, and he can block all my ways in such a short time. What to do. If I continue to consume it, I will die here here sooner or later......" Su Jia's forehead was already oozing sweat, and the Mengyuan soldiers who were getting closer and closer to him were like death......
Su Jia kept looking around...... Finally. She noticed something different—it was a very large stable, located a little further away in the center of the city. Because Lingguan City is a military location in the affiliated city of Bianliang, there are naturally many military quarters here.
Su Jia spotted the stables and found that there were many war horses set up here. Each chariot was connected by four horses. There is also a cage seat behind the horse. In the center of the stable, there is a large opaque trough that appears to store more warhorse items.
Su Jia seemed to think of something, and without saying a word, she jumped to the stable, and then a shadow got into the stable. And at this time, the Mengyuan soldiers personally led by Wang Dasheng also arrived.
As Su Jia expected, the house trough was full of large and small war horse items, but all the horses were outside the shed. However, it seems that no one has been carefully managed here for a long time, and the war horses outside the house are also disorganized. It is impossible to distinguish between the advantages and disadvantages of the queue. Su Jia thought about it for a while, and seemed to have thought of a clever plan to escape. Then he made a knife in the groove of the tent......
"General Wang, that thief just got into the groove of this stable!" the soldiers who surrounded him reported to Wang Dasheng, who had just felt it.
"A few of you, go in and have a look-" Wang Dasheng grabbed Su Jia's heart and immediately sent a few of his soldiers to investigate.
When the soldiers received the order, they immediately carried their swords and cautiously probed into the groove of the house. However, just as they were about to open the door of the tent, there was a ghostly roar from the door, and the soldiers all fell in a pool of blood.
Naturally, Su Jia used a ghost knife to solve these soldiers just now, Wang Dasheng saw it in his eyes and felt that Su Jia was now a trapped beast fight, so a cold smile appeared on his face. Subsequently, Wang Dasheng ordered: "Now that she is inside and can't escape, I will definitely let her die without a place to be buried." A few of you, send more people to pull away the war horse chariot next to the stable, and General Ben will personally send her to the underworld with a copper cannon!"
It seems that Wang Dasheng wants to use a copper cannon to aim at the horse shed and slot here, and kill Su Jia directly here. Sure enough, the soldiers next to him received the order and immediately assigned people to pull all the horses and chariots next to the house groove, and after a while, there was only a bare house groove left in the middle.
Wang Dasheng saw that it was impossible for Su Jia to escape from the house, so he immediately ordered the soldiers to push two copper cannons, the barrels of which were aimed at the stable, and it seemed that he wanted to blow Su Jia to the ground with one shot.
"Let's go-" Wang Dasheng was afraid that the delay would give Su Jia a chance to escape, so he immediately ordered.
The line of fire of the two copper cannons ignited...... and the two copper cannons fired in unison -- "boom," and the deafening sound of explosion caused the roof trough, which was still in the middle of the stable, to the ground in an instant. The powerful artillery emitted scorching flames, and even some of the utensils beside the roof were burned to the brink. Due to the strong explosion sound, the war horses that had been pulled away just now also neighed nervously for a while......
When it calmed down in the middle, I didn't see half of Su Jia's escape. Wang Dasheng immediately ordered someone to send someone to take a look, and the soldiers went to take a look, and there were only remnants of flames and a few charred corpses on the black flattened ground - among them, there must have been the corpses of the Mengyuan soldiers who had just been killed by Su Jia with a ghost knife.
"General, it's just a few charred corpses—" reported the soldiers who inspected the scene.
Wang Dasheng wiped a cold smile, and then asked, "Have you seen that girl's body?"
"I don't know, the power of the cannon is so strong that I can't tell whether it's a man or a woman and how many charred corpses there are—" replied the soldier.
"Then she is likely to have been blown up and killed-" Wang Dasheng sneered, "In the scene just now, she couldn't have a chance to escape, and today, I finally killed this thief who broke into the Xiangfu at night and knew the secret of the kendo conference...... Collect the troops!" Wang Dasheng immediately ordered, and all the infantry and cavalry around him withdrew, leaving only the messy scene of the black charred horse shed, and the hundreds of war horses still nervously neighing around the horse shed......
At the same time, in a closed corner, there was a faint and rapid breathing sound - it was Su Jia, she was still alive...... (To be continued......)
