Those soldiers of the Zhou army who were at the forefront were all the best among the best. Although most of them did not know internal skills, they all had amazing physiques and tenacious spirits. Even if they fought alone, they would not be as good as Wanyan Gang, an outsider.
The masters were just a little short of each other. When they heard the giant log rolling down above their heads, they shouted, reminding the people behind them to stick to the ladder, and then raised their shields to resist!
Three sections of rolling logs came down, but only one worked, knocking down six or seven soldiers, and the other two were pushed away! Two more of the people who moved the logs were shot by the Zhou army on the ladder.
Seeing that the Zhou army was less than two feet away from the wall, oil tanks fell from the sky one after another, aiming not at the shield soldiers in the front row, but at the place more than ten feet below them. After the oil tanks hit the iron armor on the back of the soldier, he shouted loudly.
Although most of the boiling oil splashed outward, a lot of oil still spilled downward. The boiling oil immediately penetrated from the gaps in the armor into the necks, waist and abdomen of the soldiers below.
A moment later, people kept screaming and rolling down the ladder. The two or three people climbing at the top, although they struggled to withstand the hammer blows and ax blows of the Qi army soldiers, they also fought back with the short spears inserted in their waists.
But there was no follower, and He Jing also started to take action. Several Zhou army soldiers who had barely reached the top of the wall were beaten down one after another.
"Catch four more aerial ladders! Keep your shields up no matter where you are when climbing the ladders!" Helian Changying ordered coldly. The shooters at the top of the four aerial ladders held up the iron hooks and then slid down the ladders one after another, and the ladders collided with the walls of the city wall.
The force is enough to knock most people out! Not to mention they can still stand firmly on the top of the ladder.
After watching the four ladders break through the crossbow attack and attaching themselves to the city wall again, Helian Changying said to Wu Shi beside him: "It seems that there is only one Chengzong and one sharp archer. Sikong Lang and Pei Xianjue should not deal with them."
No way? Could it be that your identity has been revealed a long time ago and you were ambushed?"
Wu Shi said: "Not really. Those 30,000 Yuzhou troops have indeed been gone for three days. If they think there is a fraud here, Southern Qi will not touch the Yuzhou garrison."
"Master, why don't you let me rush forward!" Shen Tinggu was still angry.
"Let's see again." Wu Shi said expressionlessly. If he hadn't recovered only seven or eight points from his injuries, he would have rushed forward without hesitation. Although the other party might have hidden masters and defeated Si Kong Lang and Pei.
I am aware of it first, but looking at the world, there are really not many people who can enter his Dharma eyes.
"Light the torch and destroy the city tonight!" It was already dark, Helian Changying looked at the ladders like giant dragons lying on the city wall, and screamed.
…
Several miles after walking out of the long canyon driveway, Guo Wen just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief when countless thunderous earthquakes came from the deep ravine in the distance. Not good! Guo Wen suddenly realized something, stopped the convoy, and
Everyone called to their side.
"Listen up, everyone, we are likely to encounter robbers that we cannot deal with. What you have to do now is to carry the most valuable items with you; each person should carry more than three days of food; if you see a robber, or hear that
When someone shouts, even if there is only one person blocking the way, run away, remember to run in all directions!"
"The robbers are more powerful than the Pei family? Where is that guy?" someone asked.
"To be honest, it might be an official! But their main target is food, so running faster can save your life. In addition, I have two thousand taels of silver notes with me. Let's share them with everyone. If the goods
If I am really robbed, I will definitely not be able to fulfill my promise. I, Guo Wen, can't help you all. If I am lucky enough to go to Qingcheng, I will definitely pay double the reward!" If it weren't for a trace of luck, Guo Wen would now
It will make people abandon the goods and leave.
"I'm going to fight for my money after I accept your money. I'm embarrassed to ask for it again!" Someone replied harshly.
"Fighting one's life does not mean risking one's life, Xiao Liuzi, each of you will be given one hundred taels. Remember, if you are in danger, no one should follow me and run for your own lives! Okay, let's go!" Guo Wen asked people to distribute the banknotes and led the team again with a solemn expression.
As we set off, Guo Wen no longer asked anyone to scout the way, but took the lead and walked at the front of the convoy.
"Go another five miles and set up camp at the campsite where we came from!" Guo Wen led the team to gradually climb up the gentle slope. The top of the slope has a wide view and is not easy to ambush. Just when Guo Wen was thankful that the day was safe, "Whoosh! Whoosh!"
!" Two sharp arrows roared from the dusk, followed by the sound of horse hooves, and an unknown number of riders and horses galloped down from the top of the slope.
Guo Wen suddenly understood that the opponent had absolute confidence in his own strength and there was no need for an ambush at all. Moreover, he was rushing down from the top of the slope. He could not outrun the fast horse anyway. Even if he turned around and ran back, the deep ravine lane was obviously blocked.
Staying there would be a dead end! At this moment, the arrow shot from thirty feet away was already in front of you. Even though you knew the danger was high, how could you wait to be killed?
After all, Guo Wen also had the attainment of the Seven Meridians. With his riding whip on the left and right, two arrows were instantly knocked away.
"Spread out and escape -" Guo Wen saw that the reality was exactly as Deren expected. After roaring, he felt both regret and regret. What he regretted was that he had taken refuge in Helian Changying, a fierce woman, and what he hated was also Helian Changying.
Fierce woman!
More than twenty riders rushed down from the top of the slope thirty feet away, all masked and wielding swords. They obviously did not expect to kill Guo Wen with two arrows, but Guo Wen could not turn around and escape quickly while avoiding the arrows.
Now, they can save some energy in pursuit. They originally thought that the caravan's guards would fight to the death, but they didn't expect those guards and coachmen to immediately disperse when they saw someone rushing down. They didn't form a group, didn't form a team, and didn't ride a horse. They were in all directions.
He ran towards the mounds and deep ditches that were impassable to horses!
"Don't worry about the others, deal with Guo Wen first!" the leader said in a deep voice as he rushed.
Guo Wen, who was on the slope, did not turn around and run away. Instead, he rode forward two steps quickly and was less than ten feet away from the nearest robber. The leader of the other party obviously did not expect that Guo Wen would fight for his life.
He hesitated, wanting to wait for the people behind him to come up to deal with Guo Wen. Unexpectedly, Guo Wen jumped up from his horse, jumped onto a mound he had spotted, and then galloped eastwards.
"Half of the people dismounted from my horse to chase after me, and half of them rode uphill to cut off their retreat!" shouted the leader.
As Guo Wen ran forward, he said to the "robber" who was chasing after him: "Do you understand the rules on the road? The goods are already given to you, why do you need to take your life?"
"Hmph, you're asking even though you know it!" The leader snorted lightly, without stopping at all, always keeping a distance of more than ten feet from Guo Wen.
The more Guo Wen ran, the more frightened he became. In the world of Northern Zhou, he knew that he was definitely one of the rare masters, but there were at least four or five people behind him who were equal in strength to him. Although a few pursuers had gradually fallen behind, but the north
The dozen or so horses on the top of the slope had already moved ahead, apparently looking for an easy place to outflank them.
I was thinking of finding a rugged place and turned to the south. Unexpectedly, I heard the sound of arrows behind me, and they were all shooting in the south! This was to drive me towards the horse team on the northern slope!
Only five people were able to catch up with Guo Wen, and they gradually surrounded him in a fan shape. Those who were left behind did not wait for the leader's order, and took off the bows on their backs and shot at the galloping Guo Wen. Most of the arrows were just
In order to block his escape route south.
Guo Wen knocked down several flying arrows in succession. Not to mention running south, his speed slowed down and he was about to be overtaken by the five people behind him. The horse team seemed to have found a way to turn around, and several horses were walking along it.
Earth beams are coming...
Just when Guo Wen was lamenting that his life was at an end, the number of flying arrows suddenly became less frequent. He hurriedly found an opportunity to turn south and ran across a three-foot-wide deep ditch. At least he got rid of the soldiers who were about to pursue him first.
threaten.
"What's going on?!" the leader shouted angrily, followed Guo Wen closely, and looked back.
"Ah——" I saw a man who was about to shoot an arrow, but was chopped down by a figure approaching quickly from behind.
The leader took a quick look and saw that there were only five of the seven people who were supposed to be following him. One of them was obviously not one of his own! But the knife in that man's hand clearly belonged to his subordinates! In other words, three people had been killed by him.
!
"The people behind are holding him back! Let's kill Guo Wen first!" The leader shouted angrily, ignoring the masters behind him. As long as the five of them attack together, Guo Wen will never be able to withstand three moves! And now he is away from Guo Wen.
The most you can ask is three feet!
"Ah——" Another scream came from more than ten feet behind him, and then the footsteps got closer and closer. The leader knew that the three people behind him were too far apart, and the pursuers rushed over before they could form an encirclement, but this time
At that time, he only needed to run about ten more steps to catch up with Guo Wen, so he was not willing to be distracted and shouted to the four people around him: "Keep chasing!"
Sure enough, ten steps later, the leader chased him to within a foot, and slashed Guo Wen's back with his sword. The blade was wrapped in the sword's steel, and with a hiss, it flew away through the air.
Guo Wen knew that he had to dodge the sword, so he hurriedly turned to the west and fell into the attack range of another person. The person was on the west side about ten feet away from the leader. When he saw Guo Wen turning around, he slashed his head at Guo Wen.
neck!
The pursuer on the westernmost side among the five people rushed forward a few steps, wanting to surround Guo Wen with the people on the east side. Unexpectedly, the killer behind them was much faster than he knew.
, before he could stand still, the man flew over with a knife.
The person who came was none other than Xia Tong!
The person on the west side had to worry about himself first, turned around and raised his sword to meet him. But Xia Tong's attack was just a weak point, and instantly changed from chopping to cutting, attacking the waist of the person on the far west side!
The person on the far west side was quite fierce. He didn't avoid it, but raised his knife to slash at the opponent's neck, as if to test whether the opponent dared to risk his life!
Xia Tong had already expected this move. While raising his sword, he printed his left palm towards the pursuer's chest to the west.
The pursuer on the west side continued to fight with his sword with his left palm! Knife to knife, palm to palm, the sound of impact sounded at the same time. Xia Tong, who had better internal strength, was waiting for this opportunity to knock the opponent back two steps.
At the same time, he also deflected the opponent's scimitar, and quickly swung his sword, thinking of cutting off the opponent's calf!
The strength of the pursuer obviously exceeded Xia Tong's expectations. When his footing was unstable, he could still slide back half a step. Xia Tong's knife only cut a two-inch long strip on his calf.
A half-inch deep wound! But even so, the man's blood suddenly surged like a fountain.
