The next moment, Jiang Tian, from a high position, saw white beasts scurrying out in groups in the forest by the river downstream, with the sound of trees collapsing and breaking. These crack-toothed beasts, which looked like hairless giant mastiffs, were at this moment. Like a bereaved dog, it made howling sounds one after another.
Then, under the leadership of a blue-striped red bird flag, a group of cavalry armed with guns and bows emerged from the forest with sparse trees. They were all wearing half-length scale armor and pocket-shaped helmets. Wearing a blouse and a blue-grey cloak, he looks majestic at first glance, like an unsheathed blade.
In contrast, after a whole night of chasing and bloody battles, all of them were covered with bruises or their armor was in tatters. They were scattered around to watch, eat and drink, organize their equipment, or check each other's wounds and explosion wounds. These Jinwu disciples and supervisors The members of the department seemed a little embarrassed and sloppy.
At this time, Zhang Wusheng, who had already taken off his torn Mingguang armor, leaving only his inner leather sheath, suddenly let out a cry when he saw this: "Silver armor, red shirt, red bird flag?", could this be Duji Town? The defending troops of the Defense Department are the official cavalry team known for their ability to attack with bows and spears."
Because he used special secret medicine to free up his almost healed fractured arm, Lin Jiulang couldn't help but be surprised when he heard the sound: "Why are they, the official horse team of Duji Province, here? The headquarters did not notify or request them. Let’s work together!”
After hearing this, Jiang Tian was moved in his heart and asked: "These official horse teams, are they under the command of Gao Wenyuan, the Observer/Defense Envoy of Dongdu Ji?"
"Yes, whether it is the defense department or the defense force, they are directly under the command of Gao Observer." Zhang Wusheng responded: "If I expected it to be true, it is one of the few people in the metropolitan area who have the right to act on their own. "Convenient, one of the emergency response manpower".
"In that case, it's a good thing!" Li Huan, whose arms were still twitching after shooting dozens of arrows, also took advantage of the situation and said: While everyone was talking, this group of men and horses, together with the chasing The white beast is also approaching quickly.
I saw that they were well-trained and cooperated tacitly, chasing one of the lagging white beasts in small groups. In an instant, they shot the white beast one after another like lightning, causing the white beast to be suddenly injured, slowed down and rolled. , or fell to the ground, and was immediately pierced by a protruding spear.
The moment he hit the white beast, the cavalryman let go without hesitation and nostalgia, turned his horse and gave up the attack position to his comrades in the rear; after several spears penetrated his body one after another, even this strange beast has extremely tenacious vitality. , couldn't help being so severely injured and fell to the ground dying.
Then, another group of infantry followed closely, holding broad swords and axes, surrounding the white beast, which was impaled on the ground and still struggling; the limbs and head were immediately chopped off under the attack of swords and axes, and finally turned into a pile of fragments. of flesh and blood. In the blink of an eye, the white beast that escaped lost less than half.
This scene also made Jiang Tian faintly admired. This is the fighting power that the army of the prosperous dynasty should show. However, the remaining dozen or so largest and strongest white beasts were actually being faintly pursued by the opponent, and they were heading towards them in panic. On his side, he ran away desperately.
However, the sergeants around Jiang Tian became a little more serious. They put down the unnecessary things in their hands, picked up their weapons and equipment, and gathered into groups, taking their time to prepare for an attack. Only then did the other side seem to pay attention. When he got here, he screamed loudly on his horse.
The next moment, those white beasts as strong as calves rushed down the gentle slope. Lin Jiulang gave an order and faced the radiating crossbow bolts, hitting the roaring mouths and eye sockets of these ferocious beasts.
Under the neck and other places; it immediately rolled over and fell down the slope several times.
The remaining eight or nine white beasts were still stomping on the earth and stones, and were about to rush forward in a blink of an eye. Then, amid a fierce collision, they were killed by the four specialized sergeants holding wicker platoons.
It was slapped and bumped head-on with full force, bounced off, overturned, and rolled back.
In the end, only three white beasts passed them and crashed into the crowd behind them. However, the next moment, what greeted the three strongest white beasts was not panic and running away, but forks that were thrusting in all directions, ready to go.
The handle, hook gun and spearhead pierced without interruption.
So, while he kept shouting something loudly, the leading cavalry officer who was chasing him suddenly lost his voice at the foot of the slope. This was because he saw several white beasts with broken limbs being pinned to the ground by people.
, and the scene of beating the head with a heavy hammer and an iron whip, moaning and waiting to die.
Then, someone on the slope raised a face that was splattered with blood-colored residue and asked him rudely: "I am a member of the secret censorship department. At the moment of the amateur detachment, you are blind again."
What are you yelling about?"
After skipping this unexpected episode, and through unpleasant negotiations between his subordinates and these officers and cavalry, Jiang Tian determined his position. Unexpectedly, he was far away from the underground sewer entrance of Xiqufanfang, and appeared in
The border with Yichuan County is more than ten miles away.
As for this unexpectedly encountered official cavalry, they were suddenly ordered to do so during a routine patrol nearby and rushed to expel and annihilate a large group. They emerged from Minggao Mountain on a cloudy day and were heading towards the Central Plains.
The oldest Buddhist temple - White Horse Temple, the migrating white beast group.
Therefore, these white beasts in front of us were just one of many small groups of beasts that were separated and scattered by the established official cavalry in the unobstructed plains and rivers. They were divided into separate troops to pursue and drive them all the way here. Next, Jiang Tian took charge of
Zhang Wusheng negotiated and made an offer that was difficult to refuse.
It was to use one of the living bodies of the white beasts captured by the members of the Supervisory Department in exchange for some of the chariots and horses carried by the other party, as a means of transportation for the return trip. During this process, Jiang Tian did not even show up, and ordered the underground pursuit
All gains made are hidden as much as possible.
Because, he vaguely felt something wrong and inconsistent with the official cavalry in front of him. For example, the team officer leading the team was too enthusiastic, and for example, he tried to persuade the members of the Supervisory Department to assist nearby.
When the battle failed, he offered to send someone to escort him back to the city.
Although he was inevitably scorned by members of the Supervisory Department, he was very well-mannered from beginning to end and used clichés intentionally or unintentionally. In addition, from this horse team, there was also a vague sense of voyeurism. All the way to Jiang Tian
After leading the team away, they gradually disappeared.
Then they were speechless all the way until Luodu City was already in sight, and then they met the search team from the Secret Censorship Department. After releasing the smoke arrows for communication, the first one to come over was Han, one of the three deputy envoys.
Du Guan. He complained loudly as soon as they met:
"Deputy Superintendent Jiang, can you teach me how to find it! Do you know the other records below? How big of a deal has happened, and we almost have to mobilize all the garrison troops in the capital."
"Don't you know yet?" Jiang Tian said in surprise: "The garrison in Duji Road has been mobilized. On my way back, I met a guarding army from the Defense Department."
"What? Who is it, so fast?" Han Duguan couldn't help but be surprised: "The headquarters has never approached Gao Lianshuai. Could it be that some big shot is determined to end it? But no matter what, it would be great if you could come back."
"What happened?" Jiang Tian then asked: "It looks like the sky is falling."
"Actually, it's just a little worse than the sky falling." Han Duguan said with a wry smile, stroking the sweat on his forehead: "This is Xiqufanfang. Someone destroyed many pillars in advance. After the headquarters entered,
A large area collapsed, and almost half of the area was gone."
"What's even more terrible is that many people, including yours, have lost contact because of this." Han Duguan then said: "Now, several engineering groups transferred from outside the city and civilian laborers recruited temporarily are working hard to dig.
Among the ruins. But it will be fine as long as you can come back."
"Actually..." Jiang Tian thought for a while and then said: "I have not gained anything along the way. At least, I have captured the escaped Ma Ni and the beast envoy sent behind the scenes to meet him..."
"What! You caught Ma Ni? There is also evidence of direct involvement in the beast disaster!" Han Duguan couldn't help but said with joy after hearing this: "This is great, you are really the savior of this department, come with me
Go meet Madam, she will be in charge at Xiqufanfang..."
"It's just that I have some other important discoveries underground. I need you to send more people to join them in order to protect the evidence and the scene from being destroyed by people with ulterior motives." However, Jiang Tian continued to remind:
"That's right, I'll send someone right now, no, I'll lead the team myself." Hearing this, Du Guan Han couldn't help but perked up and said, "You just go to see Madam first, Bingming, everything is fine, just hand over everything else."
Give it to me."
After a while, Jiang Tian saw Mrs. Cen sitting alone on the only remaining drum tower at the edge of the ruined fanfang, with a look of tiredness and exhaustion on her face, but no one dared to disturb her. Then, she
Looking at "Ma Ni" who was being sent over like a stick, he couldn't help but sigh: "This time, it's me, Meng Langhe, who is anxious, but fortunately, you can save some situations for me; finally, things can be prevented from getting out of hand."
; Perhaps the next responsibility for maintaining the headquarters will depend on your ability."
Jiang Tian smiled and said nothing, and then ordered the captured beastman who was physically unconscious, along with the bone flute, iron pipes and other items seized from him to be presented. Only then did Madam Cen finally be able to express her emotion:
"You actually caught a live beast? This is a great achievement."
However, her surprises were far more than that; "What! You also found a way for them to overcontrol and control ghosts?" "Is this the secret medicine that can turn people into beasts and ghosts in the blink of an eye?" "Fanfang
The underground space connected by the waterway is not only huge, but there are also ground fissures that stretch for more than ten miles?"
"Not only are there many beast dens and strange creatures in the underground waterways? There is even an unknown place for blood sacrifices?" After hearing this, Mrs. Cen felt that her life's surprises had been completely exhausted, and immediately ordered: "Take me
When the token comes, I will immediately go to the palace to present it."
At this time, the ruins site in the distance, like ants moving mountains, suddenly erupted with a cadence of shouts. Then, in a deep pit that was dug, a group of people who could not see clearly were pulled up one after another.
The original clay figure.
After these clay figures who were supporting each other were almost pulled out, another long object was dragged out with all its strength from the winch pulled by more than ten oxen. But it was a long object that was full of wounds and wounds.
The broken swords and weapons are enough for a man to hug a thick snake.
