There was the sound of horse hooves flying outside the car, and Jiang Shuo's hoarse shouts came from time to time: "Follow me quickly!" "After passing the pass two miles ahead, the thirty people in the rear team stayed behind to dig earth to block the road!" "Let the people on the mountain
All outposts were withdrawn to Yuguan"...
He Qizhou was sure that the team had already withdrawn from Zhenbeiguan. He did not dare to be careless at the moment. He hurriedly exercised his energy and breath to check the injury. The injuries on his body were not serious. He thought that when Wushi heard the words "Deceiving Frost Sword"
Finally, he left most of his strength to himself, especially the last volley punch, which shocked him so much! All the internal organs seemed to be bleeding, and even though the meridians were so strong, none of them were injured!
He Qizhou didn't bother to say hello to Jiang Shuo first. He crossed his legs and started to perform Hua Zhen Gong. He completed the thirty-six weeks in one breath. His true energy was smoother than ever before, whizzing and rushing through the six meridians freely, and the chaotic feeling in his body was all over the place.
After being swept away, although the injury was still serious and the whole body ached, I felt that my whole body was extra energetic, and even my hearing was improved.
"Twenty of you, listen. After all the people behind the barriers have passed, sprinkle the caltrops here and cover them with sand. Once done, evacuate immediately!"
He Qizhou's carriage was still moving forward, but Jiang Shuo, who was far behind, issued orders in a hoarse voice that could not be heard clearly.
"Got the order!"
After Jiang Shuo finished setting up, he chased the carriage again and was delighted to find He Qizhou sticking his head out of the window and shouting: "Are you awake? Are you okay? I wanted to treat your injury in Yuguan...
"
"It's no big deal. Have they all been evacuated? What time is it now? How far is it from Yuguan? How is Wushi?" He Qizhou asked eagerly.
"Why do you seem to be the coach?" Jiang Shuo muttered and replied with a smile:
"We've all withdrawn. It's Shenshi now. We're still one hundred and forty or fifty miles away from Yuguan. I'm going to travel all night. I'll probably be able to reach Yuguan before dawn tomorrow. Wushi is really good at it. His whole body looks like a burning man.
It seemed that after Helian put out the fire on his body, he stood up again. I didn't dare to look any further, so I hurriedly led people out of the city."
He Qizhou looked around at the thirty or forty riders, more than ten carriages, and about a hundred people at most, and asked: "Why are there so few people?"
Jiang Shuo said: "Most of the people are running fast and walking in front. I'm afraid of knocking you off, so walk slower. There are probably hundreds of people behind us setting up roadblocks, and they will follow soon. Yes.
"Hey, were you stunned by Wu Shi's punch? You were laughing a little horribly before you fell down."
"Damn! I was awakened! I laughed so scary? Is there any?" He Qizhou suddenly understood when he thought about his mask. If that face smiled, it would indeed not look very good. He was in a good mood at this time.
, asked mysteriously: "Guess why I laugh?"
"Did you expect that Wushi would be seriously injured?"
"How dare I have such extravagant hopes at that time? Let me tell you, Wushi's punch helped me open the six meridians! Hahaha..." He Qizhou laughed heartily. The significance of the six meridians was extraordinary, and he could practice more moves.
His swordsmanship is superb, and he can even start to study Yang Zheng's technique of leveraging his own strength. However, apart from having a rough grasp of the Deep Whirlpool Kung Fu, he doesn't have any clues at the moment. I must ask Master Wan Yi again when I go back!
"It's really yours! Are you going to faint as soon as your pulse is opened? After arriving at Yuguan, Wu Shi and Shen Tinggu will be handed over to you!" Jiang Shuo said happily. "Fuck you, I can't beat you with my little Taoism.
They! How are you? Are Xia Tong and He Jing injured?"
"I, I'm fine. Xia Tong is only slightly injured. It shouldn't be a big problem with a little recovery. Uncle He's injury is not serious. I asked them to go to Yuguan first and seize the time to rest and recuperate."
Because there were many dead and injured people, He Qizhou saw that there were more than a dozen empty horses following him, so he jumped out of the carriage and got on the horse. It was still bumpy, but it was still more enjoyable to ride. After chasing Jiang Shuo, he asked Jiang Shuo to stretch out his hand and
The pulse detector was shocked and said: "I'm warning you, don't use Beimang Gong and Songyang Finger in the past two days. Your eight meridians will be seriously injured and four meridians will be slightly injured. If you continue to do so, you will not be successful."
Zong, my martial arts might be ruined if I don’t do it!”
"Again! Are you trying to scare me into defrauding me of medicine money? Don't worry, brother, I'm very tough!"
"I'm not joking with you, I really can't force my kung fu anymore." He Qizhou said anxiously.
"You are the same. You are injured all over. If you see that the city is in danger, will you fight with all your strength? Don't say it. If you are more careful, I will pay attention to it. Let's go!" Seeing Qi Zhou changing horses, Jiang Shuo clamped his legs and hit the horse.
Moving forward, the team obviously sped up.
After running for several miles, He Qizhou found that the terrain was gradually leveling off. The official roads up and down the mounds had obviously been manpower-tamped. Whenever there was a slightly narrow place through the valley, Jiang Shuo would send people to dig earth to block the road to delay the pursuit of the pursuers.
Speed. Some people stayed behind to set up obstacles, and others caught up from time to time. This cycle continued to destroy official roads.
After running around in the loess for more than three hours, people and horses were exhausted. Jiang Shuo ordered to rest under a south-facing earth cliff for half an hour, waiting for the people behind to arrive before leaving. He Qizhou and Jiang Shuo hurry up.
Time, breathing and conditioning. On the cliff, there are no clouds in the sky, the stars are bright, and a full moon hangs high, illuminating the bare earth brightly and transparently.
The soldiers who stayed behind to set up obstacles returned one after another. The last one to return was Jiang Damin, who reported that the Zhou cavalry vanguard was less than twenty miles away.
Jiang Shuo asked who was leading the army. Jiang Damin replied that Helian and Wu Shi were not found. They were all light-armored cavalry. Because the mountains blocked the view, the number was unknown. In short, it was more than a thousand.
"It came so fast!" He Qizhou whispered.
"If those belongings hadn't stopped them for at least an hour, they would have run in front of us now," Jiang Shuo said.
"The price of this hour is not low." He Qizhou said.
"It's not worth much in Qi State." Jiang Shuo didn't feel bad: "There is a pass that can be set up thirty miles ahead. I wonder if the people sent by that idiot Bao An have arrived."
"Then let Jiang Damin and the others rest for a while, and let's leave now!" He Qizhou said.
"No, let's go together." Jiang Damin said loudly.
"Okay, let's go together. When we reach the next pass, the horses will rest and the people will set up barriers!" Jiang Shuo stood up and ordered. The team of more than 200 people immediately put on their armor, mounted their horses, and set off.
In less than half an hour, everyone arrived at the pass Jiang Shuo was talking about. The pass is located between two tall mounds. It is about twenty feet wide and more than a hundred feet long. Its narrowest point is also more than ten feet wide! He Qizhou said in surprise!
: "It's so wide, how much soil do you need to dig to block the passage? We spent half a day digging, and it only took them a moment to clear a foot-wide horse path."
"Isn't it like this along the way? If you can delay it for a while, I will arrange an ambush here and use crossbows to block their forwards!" Jiang Shuo said.
"The range of the crossbows is similar to their strong bows, but the shooting speed is too slow. You only have thirty or forty crossbows, so they won't have much effect." He Qizhou said.
"It will take a while to delay. After passing this pass, the next dangerous pass is Yuguan, which is forty miles away, so even if we lose a few more lives, we have to delay! Damn it, why haven't Bao'an's people arrived yet?
Come! Come on, people, start working!" After Jiang Shuo cursed angrily, he dismounted himself, dug soil from the mountain on one side of the pass at the narrowest point, and piled it in the middle of the road.
Regardless of whether they were injured or not, everyone immediately dismounted, got off their horses, and started digging up the soil with various tools and weapons.
"I compacted the middle section and then added soil!" Jiang Shuo said. Because most people intuitively start digging soil from the middle.
"General, someone is coming from the south! They are our people!"
"How many people came?"
"Six to seven hundred!"
"Better late than never, Jiang Damin, let them build two more earthen walls at this pass! Alas, it's a pity that there is no water here!" Jiang Shuo sighed.
"Give me a strong bow later. You know my archery skills." He Qizhou said.
"Well - then I won't be polite to you. Remember to guard for half an hour at most! As long as they take a detour and wait for half an hour, their horses will be able to run up the mounds on both sides, and then the arrows from both sides will be shot down.
If it weren't for heavy armor, no one would be able to escape. Your heavy armor is still in the car. You can get it later. I have to go back early and explain the city defense to the idiot named Bao. I don't know if he has told Xinlai yet.
Magistrate Liu asked for help." Jiang Shuo said anxiously.
Huyan Watchtower was no less anxious than Jiang Shuo. He was a Qianhu member of the Zhongjing Garrison Cavalry. He finally managed to get a vanguard role. Unexpectedly, he didn't get half of the credit for his work, but the disaster of death was just around the corner. After all the hard work,
It was only with the strength of Nian Erhu that he forced his subordinates to discard the property of Qi and set out again, thus gaining an opportunity to make meritorious deeds.
However, there were obstacles and traps everywhere along the way. The military order to advance to Yuguan before dawn was obviously impossible to complete. It was not a big deal that more than ten soldiers were killed or injured, because the iron caltrops and the deep pits on the ground had already broken their bones.
There were more than fifty troops and horses, and what was even more annoying was that the entire army did not dare to advance at full speed.
Fortunately, in the last forty miles, the roads have been wide and flat, and the journey has been smooth. However, the abominable tall earth wall once again appeared at the pass in front of us! "Come on, dig a passage quickly! Be quick, dig two holes."
One foot wide is enough!"
All the tools needed to dig through the two gates of Zhenbeiguan are now in his own hands. In addition, his soldiers are becoming more and more proficient in breaking obstacles. Huyan Watchtower gives his soldiers as much time as a stick of incense!
Hundreds of soldiers holding pickaxes and shovels dismounted and walked into the narrow passage at the pass. However, more than ten feet away, behind the earthen wall more than ten feet high, suddenly appeared more than forty heads. Each person had a hand.
The bow is a crossbow!
"There is an ambush!" The light cavalry who acted as engineers shouted and ran back one after another. They were all light cavalry, and their light armor could not protect themselves from the crossbow attack. After a volley, the Zhou army suddenly
More than 20 people were shot dead.
"Shield bearer! Attacker! Attack!" Huyan Watchtower shouted urgently. Unexpectedly, in addition to earth barriers, there were also ambushes here!
