Chapter Forty-Eight: Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea

The corners of Dou Huaien's eyes were beating slightly. The muscles in his face were throbbing gently, too.

He was an old eunuch. People like him are often scolded as eggless by those who hate them.

But Dou Huaien is an old eunuch in the Central Plains. If there is no egg, it does not mean that he is bloodless.

Those who fought fiercely with the Dang Xiang and Yan Zhengyi's subordinates under the cliff were all from the Central Plains.

The two masked men who made the bright silver gun, Dou Huaien was able to guess their identities.

The one who made the Yang family's marksmanship must be Han Xuexin in the remnants of Shenwei Fort. Although Han Xuexin is not a descendant of the Yang family, in the remnants of Shenwei Fort, and even in the entire Central Plains Army, only he can use the Yang family's marksmanship to the legendary Yang Gong's demeanor.

The marksmanship of another masked man could also be recognized by Dou Huaien. That was Ning Yuangong's marksmanship. The masked man who made Ning Yuangong marksmanship must be Zhang Qinghou, the descendant of Ning Yuangong. Since the unjust death of Ning Yuangong, the descendants of the Zhang family have sworn not to be officials. Ning Yuangong's marksmanship has no longer been passed on in the army.

After all, they still have a grudge against the son of the day because of the matter of Shenwei Castle. They would rather guard themselves under the eagle's beak cliff and risk their lives outside the Central Plains to intercept Yan Zhengyi alone, rather than cooperate with the masters of the imperial court.

They are all loyal people. Although Dou Huaien is only loyal to the Son of Heaven, he also knows that Han Xuexin, Zhang Qinghou and these masked people under the cliff are all loyal and righteous people.

They are the remnants of Kamui Castle. They risked their lives here today, just like they appeared in Fengming Village before, in order to intercept and kill Yan Zhengyi. Although Yan Zhengyi must not have been the one who directly killed Tie Zhongheng, he was one of the murderers of the six bloody cases after all. Since the day when Ning Yuangong and his commander died unjustly, any murderer or their accomplice who murdered the loyal generals in the army was the life-and-death enemy of Shenwei Castle.

The reason why they dressed themselves up as foreigners was because they didn't want to cause a big war between the Central Plains and the party because of their actions. Although they still hold a grudge against the Son of Heaven, they do not hold a grudge against the Central Plains.

Now, these loyal men of the castle are in danger. They're going to die. They and Fu Hongxue and Jiang Bingchuan are all going to die.

Fu Hongxue and Jiang Bingchuan have more and more injuries.

Fu Hongxue could no longer rush forward. He was surrounded by a dozen party cavalry. He was separated from the rest by the party cavalry. Although he could still chop down at least one party cavalry or at least one party horse with every swing of his sword, he could no longer rush.

Jiang Bingchuan could no longer jump. He could only roam the ground, and with a soft sword in his hand, he struggled to attack or fend off the party warriors on horseback.

There were only a dozen masked men left in the melee with the party cavalry. It was a dogfight between cavalry and cavalry. Individual prowess is greatly limited in this melee.

Han Xuexin and Zhang Qinghou were also injured. They had killed at least fifteen masters, but they had all been wounded.

Han Xuexin's pace faltered a little. He had a wound on his leg.

Zhang Qinghou's shot was still fast. However, compared with his previous shooting speed, he is now shooting a lot slower.

The green tendons on Dou Huaien's forehead began to jump. His body trembled slightly. His hand holding the long stick had become whiter and whiter by himself.

Ming Fangyu, Iron Harrier and Li Jinyi all gritted their teeth.

The following people who fought against the party members and Yan Zhengyi's subordinates, if they were put in the mouths of those big officials in the imperial court, they were all people who disregarded the king's law. However, they are all from the Central Plains. Although they will leave Wang Fa behind in many cases, they are going to kill Yan Zhengyi. The objects they are fighting now are not only Yan Zhengyi's subordinates, but also foreign enemies.

Du Mengxiao, who has always been gloomy, has not changed anything. There was no change in his expression. However, his hands clenched in his sleeves were already clenched and tightened.

Behind Dou Huaien and the others were dozens of Divine Sword Battalions, Six Gates, and masters in the army. Behind these men were hundreds of battlemen.

Hundreds of people stood together, not making a sound. It was as if they were holding their breath. They were all staring at the sand not far from the cliff. There, now it's turning into a killing field. The one who was killed was the people of the Central Plains.

Those veterans of a hundred battles can see that the killing methods of those masked people are all killing methods in the army. Those masked people used to be their comrades. Some of them may still be their comrades in the military.

They were being killed. They were slaughtered by defectors and foreign enemies. They'll be killed. Even if they were able to exhaust Yan Zhengyi's subordinates and the remaining party cavalry, they would still be killed.

Because, farther north, in the distance, two clouds of smoke and dust are flanking.

The soldiers of a hundred battles standing on the cliff could see from the scale of the smoke and dust that the two clouds of smoke and dust were at least two party teams of 1,000 people. Two horsemen of a thousand. Although the distance between them seemed to be very far, it would not be long before two thousand-man horsemen could reach the battlefield not far from the cliff.

The Central Plains people, who were fighting the enemy on the battlefield, could not go. They have been encircled by the enemy. Moreover, many of them were injured.

"Manager Dou!" Ming Fangyu gritted his teeth and roared. He knew that the only one who could make up his mind now was Dou Huaien. Dou Huaien is a close attendant of the Son of Heaven. In such a situation, Dou Huaien doesn't have an idea, and no one can and dare not make an idea.

"Can't go. The appearance of the head of the Ming Dynasty is no stranger to the party. I look like an old eunuch, and I can't hide it. Dou Huaien let go of the hand holding the long stick tightly and said lightly. There was no emotion in his voice.

Ming Fangyu's heart sank.

"Lord Tie's face is more familiar to the party members. Dou Huaien continued to say lightly.

The hearts of Ming Fangyu and Iron Harrier and others sank more and more.

"Lord Du and Jinyi can't be in danger. Dou Huaien still said lightly.

The hearts of Ming Fangyu, Tie Harrier, Du Mengxiao and Li Jinyi sank completely. Behind them, there were many people, especially those who fought a hundred battles, and their eyes were filled with anger. They were glaring at Dou Huaien fiercely. In the hearts of many people, they are already cursing this eggless old eunuch with the most vicious words.

"If there are some more knights, maybe there is hope. Even if there are a few horse thieves. Dou Huaien said lightly.

Ming Fangyu's eyes lit up.

The Iron Harrier's eyes lit up.

Du Mengxiao's eyes lit up.

Li Jinyi's eyes lit up.

Behind them, several pairs of eyes lit up.

"Yes, if only there were a few more knights. Officers and soldiers must not cross the border to kill the enemy. If knights and horse thieves cross the border, the officers and soldiers will not be able to do anything. "Ming Fangyu didn't want to wait any longer. He made it clear.

Several masters standing behind them had already covered their faces.

As soon as Ming Fangyu's words came out, several masked masters swept towards the bottom of the eagle's beak cliff. Behind them, there were more masters pulling out sweat towells or tearing off their shirts and covering their faces. After masking themselves, they followed the previous masked masters to kill the Eagle's Beak Cliff.

"Those who can't come back have nothing to do with the imperial court. Dou Huaien said lightly. His voice was not loud, but everyone, including those who had already swept down the Eagle's Beak Cliff, heard his words.

"Unarmour!" a general-looking man whispered as he removed his armor from his body.

Behind Dou Huaien and the others, there was a sound of armor being removed.

"Kill!" the general who had been the first to remove his armor roared and rushed down the eagle's beak cliff. Behind him were hundreds of soldiers who had been stripped of their armor. They were all light cavalry. They don't have much armor on them, and they get rid of them quickly.

Immediately behind these hundreds of light cavalry were more than two hundred infantrymen. They have slightly more armor on them, so they have to be slower to remove.

Behind more than two hundred infantry, there were more than a hundred archers. They didn't make it down. They were stopped by Ming Fangyu.

"Within a stone's throw of land, it is the defense range of my Central Plains. Ming Fangyu said coldly.

More than 100 archers lined up, bows in hand, arrows ready to fly. They were waiting for their comrades under the cliff to fight back to the range of a stone's throw away.

The dozens of masked masters who jumped down first swept with all their might.

From the eagle's beak cliff to the battlefield, there is still more than a mile away. Two clouds of smoke and dust in the distance are approaching frantically. Time is running out for them. If they can't rescue the people of the Central Plains who are fighting on the battlefield before those two clouds of smoke and dust roll up to the battlefield, no one is sure that they will be able to kill the encirclement of the two party thousand-man cavalry teams.

The masters who killed them and the soldiers behind them did not have horses. There were no horses, and in this flat place in front of the eagle's beak cliff, they could not outrun the cavalry of the party people. In this place where Ma Pingchuan is, no matter how strong the master is, he can't stop the repeated rush and killing of thousands of horsemen.

Behind these masters, the hundreds of light cavalry were also galloping. They were cavalry. They were light cavalry. Even without horses, they were cavalry. They don't have much equipment on them. In addition to the clothes on their bodies, all they had left was a machete in their hands. Machetes for cavalry.

They ran fast. Their speed at the moment was not much slower than the Divine Sword Battalion and the Six Gates masters who were rushing ahead of them.

Behind these light cavalry on foot were more than two hundred infantry armed with spears. The spears in their hands are the standard weapons for infantry in the Central Plains Army. In addition to spears, each of them would have had a shield. Now, they left their shields at the Eagle's Beak Cliff. They want to rush for time. They were going to race against the horses of the two party groups that were ridden by thousands of people.

Dou Huaien's hand clenched the long stick in his hand again.

This time, more people will die.

I hope that this act of hiding his ears and stealing the bell can be exchanged for the lives of Han Xuexin, Zhang Qinghou, Fu Hongxue and others. I also hope to alleviate the resentment of some people in Shenwei Castle against the Son of Heaven.
