Chapter 242 Softness in the face of the enemy 【Seeking monthly ticket】
One question actually made Guo Xianying feel guilty.
Guo Xianying and others had obeyed Yuan Zai's secret order, but they could never reveal it. The Yingwu Army was the forbidden army of the Sheng Dynasty, and was under the control of the eunuchs who were close followers of the saint. They were not allowed to leave without orders.
What happened today was just that the eunuch above allowed them to take action secretly in order to please Yuan Zai. If exposed, the eunuch would definitely not admit it. And they would become the "scapegoat" for the eunuch who abandoned his car to protect the commander.
As soon as Guo Xianying thought of this, she stopped noisy with him and shouted angrily: "My heroic army is doing something, why do I need to explain it to you and other monsters! If you don't get out of the way, I will kill you without mercy!"
Protector Tianji saw that Brigadier Guo had a tough mouth and didn't talk nonsense. With a wave of one hand, the more than 20 disciples swung their weapons again and pecked the neck of the officer's horse.
The shape of this weapon is a bit weird: it looks like a Qin Ge with a "D" character. The front blade is slightly wider and can be as long as a foot. The handle of the weapon is shorter, less than six feet, but it is forged from one piece of fine iron. The head of the weapon is bladed on three sides.
Swing, sweep, hook, peck, push...everything is easy to do.
This short-handed man has a pair of hands, capable of both offense and defense:
With one short hand, he pecked the front blade into the horse's neck, then pulled it back, and a huge gash was opened in the horse's neck. The smelly horse's blood sprayed everywhere as the running horse quickly fell headlong.
Fell down and never moved again.
The short sword in the other hand was swung and swept aside, blocking the horizontal sword slashed by the heroic army, making it impossible to get close. And when the hook was swept, the wind was fierce! It was slightly affected, and the brown clothes were cut open.
The mouth makes people's hearts tremble with fear.
In just a few seconds, all the official horses mounted by the heroic army were beheaded!
Guo Xianying became extremely anxious when she saw that the good soldiers in the army could not break the two weapons in the hands of the Zoroastrian demon for a while. When she saw the official horses falling one after another, she became even more furious!
Feeling fierce in his heart, he slashed out several rays of silver light with the sword in his hand, forcing a cultist to retreat continuously. Finally, he couldn't dodge, and his left arm was cut off by Guo Xianying at the shoulder level. Blood spattered for more than a foot, and the pain almost made him faint!
However, this cultist had a stubborn temper. Even though his face was pale from pain, he still raised his right arm and swept it towards Guo Xianying's neck. It was actually a way of exchanging injury for injury! He wanted to trade one of his arms for Guo Xianying's head.
.
Guo Xianying snorted coldly: "Looking for death!" The horizontal sword in his hand had already been lifted up, and the short sword that was about to hit him flew away, and then he slashed down with three swords in succession!
Seeing that the believer was about to die on the spot, suddenly a pair of short swords thrust forward diagonally, stopping the sword midway.
Guo Xianying looked sideways and saw Tianji Dharma Protector throwing a meaningful sneer at him: "How much money did that old thief named Yuan promise you? He is ruthless and merciless. He must teach me."
My brother's life will be at risk!"
Guo Xianying was furious and could not calm down, and said indiscriminately: "Zoroastrian demons, all of them should be killed! Why should anyone bribe and instigate them? The devil knows what to do!"
Since the Yingwu Army was the forbidden army of the Sheng Dynasty, they practiced with fists and weapons all day long. Among the Sixteenth Guards of Nanya, the Yingwu Army was a rather special group of the forbidden army. All of them were physically strong and good at infantry.
Those who shoot are also called "the shooting army in front of the palace".
Guo Xianying first waved a series of feints to distance the two people, then suddenly raised his left arm and performed a strange trick with his left hand. The strange trick seemed to activate his acupoints, and his left sleeve immediately burst, revealing a
Here comes an exquisite cast iron repeating crossbow.
Protector Tianji only had time to say "Hey" before he saw five dark and shiny short arrows shooting out from the iron crossbow!
Five arrows were fired at the same time, hitting the chest, and there was no way to avoid it!
Protector Tianji suddenly covered his heart, but five feather arrows pierced his chest and were held tightly in his hands. His face showed pain, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said angrily: "Despicable... despicable! Dark, dark arrows...
…hurt people!”
Guo Xianying was so proud that he laughed loudly: "If I fight against a monster and have to follow the rules of the world, wouldn't I be stupid?"
After saying that, he picked up the horizontal sword and stepped forward carelessly, preparing to kill the Zoroastrian leader with one blow. He then took his head so that he could go back and claim credit.
At this moment, I saw the corners of Tianji Protector's mouth raised strangely, and after sweeping away the painful and exhausted expression, he nodded repeatedly and said: "It's really stupid..."
Guo Xianying's heart sank and he secretly thought, "Oh no," but it was too late! He only felt a pain in his abdomen, as he had been stabbed by five short arrows. The sticky blood soaked into his sweatshirt and stuck to his skin, not to mention how uncomfortable it was...
I feel lucky and afraid at the same time:
If I hadn't worn the chain armor today, I would have fallen completely into the trap of this Zoroastrian monster! Everyone in the world said that the Zoroastrian monster has many tricks, and today's fight, it turns out that what he said is true!
Protector Tianji pretended to be injured, inducing Guo Xianying to relax his vigilance, and succeeded with one strike. It was a sure thing. But when the short arrow penetrated, it was blocked by a layer of mail, and could no longer advance. I was quite surprised. I couldn't help but feel it.
He glanced at Brigadier Guo a few more times.
Guo Xianying was slightly injured and quickly retreated, calling on other heroic soldiers to protect him. He shouted: "Quick! Use the iron crossbow!"
"Here -!" Everyone in the Yingwu Army responded in unison. Just like Guo Xianying, he used feints to force the Zoroastrian believers back. He stepped back a few feet away and gathered in one place. Immediately, they raised their left arms and threw the cast iron
Open the crossbow, point it at the Zoroastrian people from a distance, and press the trigger.
At this critical moment, the Heavenly Protector suddenly appeared!
With just a glance of his body, he picked up the unconscious "Shopkeeper Qin" from the ground and blocked it in front of the believers. He charged at the Yingwu army with crossbows on their bows and said with a smile: "This is Qin Yanbiao, General Qin, right?"
?Come on, come on! The crossbow arrows are ready to fire. I believe that with the skill of shooting at the army in front of the palace, I will be able to avoid General Qin's vital points and hit all of us!
Why? Reluctant to take action? That's impossible. We will invite General Qin back to the ship and entertain him for a few days to repay the kindness of relieving the siege. If you all turn back the way you came, General Qin can return safely; if we are determined to pursue him,
Then every time we pass a mile, how about I cut off a piece of his flesh and give it to you to drink with?"
There was a moment of gloom and uncertainty on Guo Xianying's face: It was clear that the Yingwu army had the upper hand, but unexpectedly they were taken hostage by these monsters, resulting in such a situation that was so unreasonable! But if General Qin's safety was ignored and he insisted on pursuing, this matter would be reported to his twin brother
Qin Yanxiao heard, how could he still survive?
He weighed it again and again, and after thinking for a long time, he stabbed the horizontal knife heavily on the ground. He reluctantly drove away the heroic troops and said angrily: "Monster! If you dare to hurt a hair of my General Qin, you will definitely teach the demon to give him a blow."
He was buried with him! Get out!"
After Guo Xianying said that, he raised his sword and turned around. The rest of the Yingwu army supported each other's wounded, followed behind, and meandered away, leaving only horse corpses and broken arms and limbs on the ground.
When Tianji Protector saw that the Yingwu troops had withdrawn, he personally took action and used the method of poking pulses and acupuncture points to prick the bodies of several believers whose arms, legs and feet had been cut off, and the bleeding situation was greatly relieved.
The rest of the believers tore off many strips of linen from their shirts and tied up their wounds. Finally, they took turns carrying the wounded on their backs and chased them along the official road in the direction of the drifting fleet.
The mountains are stacked on top of each other, and the Luoshui River is full of waves. The boats are flowing down the river, sometimes slowly and sometimes quickly.
The boatman changed the incense sticks every time, and the two of them worked hard to rock the oars, making the boat go much faster. Sometimes the river wind in the valley changed smoothly, and the sails were spread on the boat. At this time, the boat was as fast as a galloping horse.
Generally, a cup of tea can float several miles away.
On the upper level of the boat, on the top of the Xieshan Mountain paved with wooden tiles, Liu Xiaomu in a purple skirt was holding a pottery xun and blowing it. Sometimes the music was sad and heartbreaking, and sometimes it was cheerful and made people smile.
.
But a pair of water-cut eyes looked straight back at the mountains and rivers left behind by the fleet, and there was actually a bit of melancholy in the brows.
Suddenly, on the left bank of Luoshui River, a group of believers wearing crimson lotus robes were chasing after them quickly, and the sound of the xun suddenly became mute.
Then, a boatman in front of the boat shouted: "Keep the boat to the left, take over!"
As soon as the words fell, the three boats slowly moved towards the left bank. When they got closer, several springboards were thrown out from the boats and floated on the water for these religious brothers to use their strength to jump back. The springboards had holes and were secured by ropes.
If you hold it, you won't be afraid of losing it.
The Tianji Protector was at the end of the team. After all the believers had boarded the boat, he jumped up with all his strength, put one foot on the springboard, and then landed lightly on the stern of the boat.
He put his hands together to make a flame, and bowed to Liu Xiaomu who was sitting on the top of the boat: "I am fortunate to have lived up to my command! I have driven back the Yingwu Army. I have also captured one of the Yingwu Army's lieutenant generals, Qin Yanbiao, and kept him as a hostage in case of any eventuality."
Liu Xiaomu nodded slightly and said without comment: "How many times can we kill the enemy?"
Protector Tianji was stunned for a moment, then replied truthfully: "There is no point in injuring the enemy, and all the enemy horses will be killed... not a single person was killed."
Liu Xiaomu frowned slightly and said displeasedly: "Being kind-hearted and soft-handed makes it useful to be embarrassed. How about the death or injury of the brothers in my teaching?"
Protector Tianji smiled bitterly and said: "Five people had their hands and feet cut off, 14 people were injured by swords, and the rest are fine. Please punish me!"
Liu Xiaomu snorted coldly and said slightly angrily: "It is a taboo in the world to show mercy when facing the enemy! Qin Xiangchu, at your age, have you lived like a dog?"
Tianji Protector Qin Xiangchu knelt down again, and said in fear: "I have been doing business for many years, and I am used to being kind to others... I was confused for a moment and couldn't bear to fight with the imperial army with swords, so I let the tiger go back to the mountain..."
Liu Xiaomu sneered and said: "Sure enough, the peace has lasted for so long that we have forgotten the dangers of the world! Now we, the Zoroastrian Cult, want to regroup and regain their prestige, but you kill several hawks and dogs without eyes, but you are still timid! We know that there is still success ahead.
Hundreds of enemies are sharpening their knives, waiting for us to cut their necks! At that time, the knife was placed on your neck. Do you regret that you have been 'kind to others' and opened the door to others?"
Hearing these heart-wrenching words, Tan Xiangchu felt chills all over his body and felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles: "I'll be humbled and die! Now I'm going to kill Qin Yanbiao to strengthen my brothers' determination to kill the enemy..."
Liu Xiaomu waved his hand to stop him and said calmly: "Don't worry! If you catch this man and bring him back, it will be of some use. Just tie him up tighter and don't let him get away again. I am saying this to tell you that now
There are many forces that don’t want our Zoroastrianism to grow, and want to use excuses to suppress it! If you still have any luck, you will only harm others and yourself! At that time, I will have to waste time and effort to recruit a new Tianji protector."
Qin Xiangchu leaned over and prostrated: "Holy Aunt, I am so sincere in my words, I humbly obey your instructions!"
