Chapter 330: Clashing with the Spirit Snake with Open Sword and Hidden Arrow (3)
Yang Zhi walked slowly through the camp, looking down at the corpses of the men in black. All of them were killed with one blow due to injuries to their vital points. However, the scene just now showed Yang Zhi also far away. I vaguely figured it out, but I just couldn't figure out what it was all about. No matter who it was, no matter how good the kung fu was or how powerful it was, they wouldn't kill people so silently. Invisibly, Yang Zhi doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, but he just feels that there must be some little-known trick in this.
Yang Zhi knelt down and took a closer look at the corpses. Sure enough, the wounds were still wounds three fingers wide, and they looked like they were caused by spears.
Yang Zhi lowered his head and was speechless.
"Sir, would you like to take off their masks and take a look?" A soldier following Yang Zhi asked cautiously, looking at Yang Zhi's complicated appearance.
Yang Zhi shook his head and still didn't speak. It didn't matter who these people were, but who that person was was the answer to the mystery that Yang Zhi wanted to uncover. Yang Zhi was stunned for a while, stood up and said, "These are useless. , let’s set the fire to burn it all,” Yang Zhi said and went back to the Triangle Camp.
A fire started in the camp, and all the men in black who were planning to attack were completely burned. Yang Zhi looked at the jumping fire from a distance, and felt confused again...
When the sky in the east began to turn pale, it was already two hours later. Yang Zhi led the troops escorting the birthday party and continued to walk eastward. As he walked, Yang Zhi heard the sound in front of him. There was a sound of fighting, and Yang Zhi ordered the whole caravan to stop. The vanguard who was exploring the road rushed back to the two riders and reported back to Yang Zhidao: "Sir, there are two groups of people fighting on the official road in front. What should we do?"
Yang Zhi frowned slightly, then raised his eyebrows slightly and asked incredulously: "Two groups of people are fighting."
"Yes," the pioneer replied, "the two groups are on the official road, fighting in full swing."
"How big is it and who are the people there,"
"There are probably close to a thousand people. Looking at the appearance of those people, they are definitely not good people. I guess they look like some kind of mountain fire."
Yang Zhi didn't answer. He turned his head and listened attentively for a while, then turned back and said to the deputy general Qin Fei beside him: "You stay here and watch the car battle, and be alert. I'll go take a look." , Yang Zhi then rode forward, followed the pioneer who was exploring the path, and galloped towards the battle of thousands of people over there.
The closer they got, the louder the killing cry became. Yang Zhi and the Pathfinders gathered together with the other dozen or so Pathfinders, looking at the fiercely fighting battlefield from a distance. They are all men in coarse linen and linen clothes, and the weapons in each of their hands are different. There are fewer spears and knives, but there are many spears and simple knives. The axes they are playing with can be seen at a glance. No matter how you look at them, they are all bandits and road tyrants. No matter how you look at them, you can't tell they are two groups, but Yang Zhi doesn't care about this now. What Yang Zhi cares about is when will this group be finished.
Looking at the battle situation with rivers of blood and broken limbs, it seems that they have been fighting for a while. To fight with such cruelty, it seems that the opponent must be killed. It is not a simple fight and grudge. However, when they appeared here at this moment, it seemed that it was all a coincidence. Yang Zhi vaguely felt that this group of people seemed to be fighting for something. He didn't know if it was because of his own fighting along the way that he couldn't help but become suspicious. All problems are related to the birth chart.
Yang Zhi didn't think about it anymore. Anyway, standing here and talking didn't hurt his back. He didn't need to kill him with a big knife. He could just rest on the spot and wait until the two groups were almost at war with each other. Then he would ride up with his men later. "Beat the drowned dog." Yang Zhi immediately watched the battle from a distance. His eyes scanned the entire chaotic battlefield through the silver mask, picking out the skilled leaders and bosses one by one, and secretly remembered them in his heart. Come on, it will be convenient to start in a while.
The two groups of people fought and waited for about half an hour. There were corpses lying on the ground everywhere. The blood dyed the entire official road and the surrounding grass red. Everything showed a dazzling bright red. Those who still wielded their swords Most of the people fighting hard were covered in blood, whether it was their own or someone else's, they all looked so cruel. Most of the people on both sides were consumed, and now there were only three or four hundred people left in total. Yang Zhi could not help but feel a little disappointed when he saw that there were many good-looking people with martial arts among these people. These people were all strong and capable. If they were gathered together and trained, they would definitely become the mainstay of the Song Dynasty. However, this It's really a pity that such a good young man with so much strength has fallen into the trap of becoming a bandit, but all his passion has been wasted in these fights.
When Yang Zhi thought of this, he couldn't help but think of himself and Lu Zhishen. Both of them were from the imperial government, but they were not gathering people in Erlong Mountain to commit robberies, and Yang Zhi carefully protected him at every turn. He was following the birthday plan, but it was to send him to Erlong Mountain safely. Seeing that he was about to reach the border of Qingzhou and getting closer to Erlong Mountain, Yang Zhi did not relax a little bit. On the contrary, he looked at the moment This grand scene of fighting made his heart tangled and twisted again. At first he thought about it, hoping to persuade the two hundred elite soldiers who followed him to die together, but now he wanted to persuade the brothers on Erlong Mountain Let's join the army together.
These two emotions were so entangled that he couldn't help but let out a long sigh while watching the fight.
"Sir, I look at it, it's almost done, should we kill it?" A pioneer heard Yang Zhi sigh and said to Yang Zhi immediately.
Yang Zhi came back from his thoughts, glanced at the soldier, and then looked at the battlefield over there. He saw that 10% of the people who had been fighting over there had fallen, and the remaining more than 300 people had fallen. They were all a little exhausted from the killing. Yang Zhi looked at it and found that it was almost done. He raised his head and looked at the sun again. It must have looked like afternoon. He spent a lot of time fighting on the road in the past few days. Today In the afternoon, I wanted to enter Qingzhou territory while the sun was setting, and rested in Yucheng. I estimated that it would take these two days, and another team of people that Liang Taishu had requested in advance were already in place and waiting there.
Yang Zhi patted the forward on the shoulder and said: "Tell Qin Fei to leave fifty men on the spot to guard the car battle. Bring the rest of the troops over to me. Let's kill them quickly."
The forward received the order, clasped his fists in response, and hurried towards the back.
Not long after, a hundred or so people led their horses and quietly came to Yang Zhi to gather together. Yang Zhi looked at the elite soldiers behind him and said: "These two groups of people are fighting for a long time. It looks like they are very tired." That's enough, let's go up now, give them some surprises, and finally clear the place, mount the horse, and leave." After that, a hundred people all raised their knives and mounted the horse.
Yang Zhi swung his sword across the horse and said: "Fight with me." Then, hundreds of people galloped wildly, and the formation was like a bloody tiger's mouth, towards the exhausted two people who were fighting. The gang pounced.
One of the two groups was a group of bandits from the local hills, while the other group was a bandit from Gaoyuan. The two groups were fighting together. Yang Zhi did not understand that the group of bandits from Gaoyuan were fighting together. Their right arms were all wrapped with red ribbons. They were from the Taihe Gang in Gaoyuan. They were originally members of the Taihe Escort Bureau. In the end, because the escort business was too hard and they had a lazy and lazy temperament, they formed a gang in Gaoyuan. The Taihe Gang was secretly established in the city. Under the guise of the Taihe Escort Bureau, it was actually engaged in the dark business of killing people and setting fires. In the end, about four to five hundred people gathered together and colluded with the Yamen. Their power was very stable in Gaoyuan. Later, They also learned about the birthday plan through Jianghu Rumors. However, at first they did not have the courage to do such a big thing. However, everything is not so absolute. Just yesterday afternoon, a Taoist-looking man People came to find Tai Kang, the leader of the Taihe Gang, and whispered something. Even Tai Kang's close subordinates didn't know what the Taoist priest said. They just looked at Tai Kang's face with real doubts, then anger, and then regret. In the end, he laughed heartily, clapped his thighs, and immediately asked his men to gather his brothers and pack up the guys and rush out.
These people from the Taihe Gang saw their gang leader and the Taoist priest chatting happily along the way, but they didn't know what they were going to do all the way south. They kept walking all night, and finally climbed over the mountains and ridges to take a shortcut on the second day. When we were three poles up, we arrived at a valley. It was surrounded by low mountains on all sides. Although the mountains were not high, the terrain was undulating. It was very difficult for the chariot to walk. I only heard the Taoist priest say, this is it, so, The Taihe gang rested behind a hill here, and they were waiting here to find out when the Taoist priest brought them the news about the birthday plan in order to gain 20% of the shares. They were waiting for this trip. Robbery here.
However, even after waiting and waiting, the car escorting the birthday party did not arrive. Instead, a group of dark people came. At that time, Tai He Gang leader Tai Kang was still talking to the Taoist priest about how to start with a smile. After hearing this, The boy on guard came to report, and he was greatly surprised. After hearing this, the Taoist priest stood up to leave. After Tai Kang asked more, he found out that the group of people who came were actually local bandits. The leader is called Wu Liang. With a ghost-headed sword, the merchants have suffered over a hundred grievances. He is also a tyrant in the local area. The reason why the Taoist priest wants to run away at this moment is because he can't afford to offend this guy. The Taoist priest said that he had not been able to offend him two weeks ago. I went to look for Wu Liang and asked him to intercept the birth chart together, but Wu Liang didn't seem to be willing, so he drove him down the mountain. Now that he came in a menacing manner, he obviously regretted it and wanted to take this set of wealth. And they were also eyeing the benefits of this terrain, and now that they are here, they must rob them by force. At the same time, the Taoist priest said in horror that the Taihe Gang was no match for them, and persuaded Tai Kang to escape with him first to avoid the limelight. If you have the chance, you can draw another picture of "the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind".
However, that Tai Kang is so domineering in Gaoyuan. Even a three-year-old boy knows that his Tai Kang belongs to the crab and will do anything sideways. Now that Wu Liang and his group are coming in force, how can they just do this? After being convinced, Tai Kang took out the knife, looked at the people coming and going, put it on his shoulder, and said: "I used to be an escort, and I have never traveled anywhere in the country. I am still afraid of Wu Liang." After saying that, he rushed away with Wu Liang and his men. went up,
