Chapter 21: An Unexpected Collapse
Since taking over this task, Fan Yi has not been very optimistic about his ending. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
So when he went to Kyoto, he was ready to put his head around his waist, who let him be born in Gyeonggi, not a native of Jiangnan.
Just look at the accompanying people this time, for such an important escort mission, there is not a single adjutant among the six judges in Jiangning City, and they are all scribes who are not on the stage.
Not to mention that the stubble of the Fu Wei Army is not the crops in his field, but the division of his own soldiers and horses, except for the personal guard battalion and Li Yixiao, a hardcore subordinate, the other three battalion commanders are only superficially compliant, and secretly there is no lack of tricks.
This time, the soldiers and horses can be said to be exhausted, and the government guards also drew three elite battalions, no matter how you look at Jiangning City, it is all bloody, but in Fan Yi's view, this is to give the imperial court and the queen of heaven an explanation, so that they can see the position of Jiangning Mansion;
The people have all been sent out, and the young officials of various states and counties have also been transferred to Beijing, and the remaining old and weak are not even enough to maintain law and order in one place, where is there still time to hunt down the fish that have slipped through the net?
He didn't know about Jiangbei, but the current ground of Jiangning Mansion was probably the best time for the Xue clan people to find a place of refuge, right? At this time, they could brazenly walk on the main road and go where they wanted to go.
If it weren't for Xue Yanke in the team, the imperial court's raid on the family and extermination would really not have caught a few big fish.
But the head of the family was caught too strangely, the whole process was weird, he waited at home and didn't say anything, didn't resist or resist, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't want to sit still.
Now I think about it, his appearance here can attract the attention of the imperial court, make Jiangning's move to transfer most of the people reasonable, and also provide a cover for the retreat of the clansmen on the ground in Jiangning at present.
Second, for those who come to the rivers and lakes for the sake of righteousness, or want to take this opportunity to come out, they all have a name for making a move, what kind of ability is it to save some old widows and children, if you want to save him, Xue Yanke is a famous grandmaster like him.
What's more, in order to escort this great master in the imperial court, you look at how many soldiers and horses the imperial court has dispatched, isn't this the best place to brush up fame?
So after passing the Canglan Pass, Fan Yi knew that it was expected that these people would appear here, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, and most importantly, he was still negligent.
"Damn Nanyang Army!" Fan Yi shouted, Ma Lance pointed to the left, and hurriedly led the guard battalion to leave the post road, if you don't leave, you really can't go!
Yan Lai didn't expect the scene to collapse so quickly, in his mind, no matter what, there will be a scorching battle where you advance and I retreat, you attack and defend, and then make a roundabout side attack, right?
From the cold arrow attack, to the surrounding martial arts people from all directions to kill, the Nanyang army in front of it seemed to be expected, not only defeated badly, but also rolled up a large group of people and horses to rush towards the team on the post road, this is not counted, the Nanyang army in the rear saw that the front was attacked, in such an "anxious" situation, it is natural to "watch and help", not to mention that even the roundabout impact is lazy, directly press the rear curtain up.
Yan Lai finally worried about something, isn't it just being made dumplings!
It's also a shame that Fan Yi reacted quickly, and pulled a group of people away first, otherwise this pot of messy porridge would really stew everyone inside.
"Rob people!"
"Get out of the way, I won't kill you!"
"Hugh wants to help the abuse!"
"Kill it!"
"The Xue family is not afraid, go here, I'll wait..."
"Wait for your grandma!" Li Yixiao looked hideous, cut down the green forest that rushed in and wanted to rob people, and roared: "All teams defend to the death, cover the carriage and retreat to the side of the road, dare to give Lao Tzu one less prisoner, you take your own lives to fill it!"
With him as the battalion envoy taking the lead, the situation here stabilized, opened the way with a bow and crossbow, pushed out the matrix, and divided into a team of ten people to fight against those heroes of the green forest who broke in.
But in this chaotic river of people, even his reef located in the middle and rear is still strong, whether it is the front section or the back section of the situation is already a mess, in this case, Li Yixiao has to continue to retreat to the depths of the forest, the post road is already chaotic, and he doesn't know which ones are enemies and which are his own people.
Although the situation was bad, fortunately, Yan Lai never thought that it would be easy to deal with it here, so he immediately led Mo Liangdao and others to escort the four sons of Yuntian Sect and the Xue clan who were in charge of care, and followed Li Yixiao's men and horses to evacuate.
Yan Lai's eyes were always fixed on the carriage, neither the scholar eunuch nor the Sen Leng scribe showed up, and the guards around them did not make any moves, allowing the surrounding situation to enter the erosion.
What are they thinking?
Although the post road will not become a bloody hell road, the fighting is still going on, even if there is no order from the superiors, the wise people know that as long as they can guard one more prisoner than their colleagues, their guilt will be lighter.
Whether it is the soldiers of Jiangning Mansion or the officials of various counties, they are still resisting, and for those Qin criminals who want to take the opportunity to escape, there are killings on the spot, and they can't care about it now, even if they bring a corpse back, at least they have an explanation.
Because of this, those people who came to rob people were no longer soft, and they instantly became white-hot with each other, and for a while screams and wails continued to sound, and the soldiers exchanged battles, and the killing finally ushered in its craziest moment.
Xue Wuyi had been looking for his father's figure, but he didn't see the carriage when he looked around, until he found the group of soldiers who had retreated into the woods.
"Let's go!"
The rabbit fell and fell, and the Tibetan Sword Master led the elite of the Xue family to chase after him, which also attracted many people in the rivers and lakes to follow.
Including Yan Lai himself, it is actually the first time to face such a scene.
He was able to calm down quickly, completely relying on the ability to protect himself now, and he also knew the importance of the four sons of Yuntian Sect, and calling out their identities at a critical moment could naturally deter one or two.
But whether it was Mo Liangdao or Zhao Gao and others, there was a time when they were in a hurry, Chen Yifei didn't pay attention to the roots on the ground when he retreated, fell and gnawed the mud, and was almost hacked to death by the people in the rivers and lakes who caught up.
The more rapid the retreat, the more chaotic the steps, not to mention the increasingly tragic killings not far away, which seemed to be about to disturb the hearts of this small team.
"Nie Jian, Xu Chang, you two are responsible for watching people, three in a group, each with five Qin criminals, there are bandits to rob, first cut down the Qin prisoners for me and then run away, ask for corpses and no people!"
Li Shuling glared at him fiercely, but his heart was cold, this guy is so ruthless!
Zhao Gao also came to his senses, and shouted: "Threesome, Mo Liangdao, you and me!"
His reaction was fast, knowing that this guy and Yan Lai were close friends, so he wouldn't pull him at the moment.
Mo Liangdao didn't refuse, put the knife on Meng Fei's neck, held the four sons of Yuntianzong, retreated in the direction indicated by Yan Lai's eyes, and gradually distanced himself from the carriage.
"Don't you join Grandpa Mo and them?" Zhao Gao asked puzzledly, now he didn't have any ideas, so he could only pin everything on Yan Lai.
"It's more dangerous over there. "Yan Lai is too lazy to explain so much, there are more than ten good hunters in his hands at the moment, plus more than 30 soldiers who are familiar with him, it is enough to resist for a while, and these people in Changling don't add to the chaos.
"Mo Liangdao, follow Nie Jian Xu Chang and they will take the prisoners and these two men up the mountain, and leave immediately, Wang Man, Ming Youhu, take care of these two young ladies, follow us, the brothers of the Soldiers and Horses, follow me off. ”
Yan Lai's decisive arrangement immediately worked, and everyone knew what they were going to do at once, and they felt a lot more relieved at the moment.
But at this moment, a cyan figure flew by like a wild goose, followed by more than twenty young people in brocade clothes and jade robes, who were born from famous families at a glance, and their momentum was extraordinary.
After getting acquainted with the handsome young man who was in the lead, the other party didn't take them to heart, and after glancing at the people he didn't know in the past, the target was still the side of the carriage.
"Huh?"
It was a young man dressed as an elegant scholar who suddenly stopped and asked, "But a disciple of the Yuntian Sect?"
"Give it to me!" Yan Lai snatched the crossbow arrow from the soldier who had not yet reacted, and shot it at the other party without saying a word.
The distance of thirty or so steps is coming in an instant, and the elegant young man probably didn't expect the other party to be so unruly, so he said that he would do it, and with a wave of his sleeves, he shattered the body of the arrow, and with a flick of his fingers, the arrow flew out.
Yan Lai frowned, although he expected that this distance would not cause harm, but he still underestimated the ability of others, and it was so easy to resolve it.
"Little brother, what a big temper. ”
The elegant young man's face showed a gloomy face, and he stood ten steps away from Yanlai, but he didn't force it too hard, after all, if these soldiers who raised their bows and crossbows fired a volley, he also had to worry about his life at this distance, but he was just fighting against the enemy on the spot, and he was fighting with a momentum, and he dared to come alone, which really shocked many people.
Yan Lai made a cold face and said in a deep voice: "No matter how big your temper is, it can't be as bold as Your Excellency, I will be ordered by the imperial court to escort the Qin prisoners into Beijing, but you want to rebel." ”
The elegant young man smiled slightly, a little unexpectedly, there were still such a young man in the official team, but his eyes were still on Li Shuling and the four of them.
"Yuhua Sword Tai Lin is lacking, how many are you?"
"Yuntian Sect Meng Fei. Meng Fei's face was overjoyed, and he said excitedly: "But the son of Xiaoxiang Night Rainforest?"
"It's Lin, the four of you don't worry. The elegant young man nodded, and sure enough, it was someone from Yuntian Sect, and continued to ask: "This little brother, why did you imprison my Jiang Zuo disciple and bully and humiliate me like this?"
He naturally saw Ran Qingtong and Bai Yujian, who were tied with strips of cloth on their mouths, who let these two guys keep their mouths all the way.
"Senior Brother Lin, but an acquaintance?"
Several more people swept behind him, and they stopped one after another when they saw the battle in front of them.
"You're not dead?!"
Originally, the black-clothed young man in a strong suit who was going to follow Xue Wuyi away, after seeing that there was movement here, he first turned around, he was still injured, and he knew that it would not be of much use to go there, so it was better to stay around and help.
As soon as I saw Yan Lai, the scene of that night immediately appeared in front of me, although it was the second half of the night, but the lights were faint, and they were so close to each other, how could they not remember the young man who gave him a knife.
"Senior Brother Xue?" the elegant young man caught a trace of incredible information from his words.
Xue Bad lowered his face and stared straight at Yan Lai, the scar on his chest was still a little tingling, but he didn't know that the guy he thought was dead was standing here like a nobody.
"It was this eagle dog that stopped me on the boat that night!"
