Chapter 286 One person rebels against the water, and the heroes are ambushed
The water is noisy, the forest is silent, the birds are singing and the mountains are quiet.
Xiao Zhan led a group of men and horses, carrying the groaning wounded, and walked slowly on the official road.
The mountains ahead gradually tightened, and the Luoshui River on the right became turbulent. Between the official road and the Luoshui River, the thick reeds gradually thinned out and were replaced by many low aquatic plants.
The deafening sounds of fighting, screams, and the dull sound of swords chopping bones are still buzzing in everyone's ears, buzzing and lingering. At this time, the mountains are silent and the voices are sparse, which makes people feel empty.
No sense of excitement at all.
"Ta-ta! Ta-ta..."
A black horse, with its hooves tumbling and making a neat sound, ran toward the crowd.
The visitor turned over and dismounted, ran to Xiao Zhan, clasped his fists and worshiped: "Commander Xiao! Two miles ahead is the Lingshan Col. The peaks are high and the valleys are deep. The water is steep and the cliffs are dangerous. There may be an ambush."
Xiao Zhan reined in his horse and looked at some bloody monks' clothes and robes abandoned on the official road before he raised his head: "Have you ever seen a Taoist priest from Tongxuan Temple or a monk from Xiangshan Temple along the way?
Signs of a fierce fight?"
This man was wearing a black crotchless robe with a horizontal sword on his waist, but he was a bad guard under Xiao Zhan. He continued: "I have never seen this before. There are some of these abandoned robes."
Xiao Zhan looked slightly relaxed: "That's it! Since the Jianghu comrades from Tongxuan Temple and Xiangshan Temple can pass through safely, we must have killed all the Zoroastrian elites. The remaining demons are now huddled on the boats.
How can you still have the energy to ambush us? Send an order to the heroes! Stay vigilant and be on guard against bears in the mountains smelling blood and attack strangers."
The bad guard responded with clasped fists, threw the reins of the horse to a comrade, and ran on foot, spreading Xiao Zhan's instructions to the entire team.
Behind Xiao Zhan is Canglong Qisu, who is being escorted by Mulan Guards and Xuanyu Guards. Because Tian Tu was separated by Liu Dingchen, only Tian Jiao, Tian Bao and other six people are left now, all of whom are walking dejectedly. Their hands are iron claws.
The condoms had long been taken off, and from time to time a Mulan guard would break off the willow branches and draw blood marks on their faces.
Cui Jiu's face was gloomy, and he followed Canglong Qisu with the few remaining Shanling Guards. He didn't know what he was thinking about. When he came, he could already see the outline of the peak, and thought that it was damaged here.
The brother's complexion couldn't help but turn a little darker.
Fang Qidou led the horse archers and walked on the left side of Shanling Guard, but he and Cui Jiu were silent all the way. Fei Yuncong had already given way to Zhou De, the seventh "Xi Lin Ax" who had lost his arms.
The cloth was tied very tightly and the bleeding had basically stopped, but the person was still unconscious.
The military horse behind Fei Yuncong carried a huge tiger head. The tiger's head had its eyes closed and its mouth slightly open. It was tied with ropes and tied tightly to the saddle. The broken neck was covered in blood and flesh, and the blood that had not yet drained away was
The tiger's blood dyed the saddle red, soaked into the horse's belly, and dripped on the official road, drawing a winding line of blood.
The sleepless monk, Chen Guzhu, is at the back, looking back from time to time, as if to respond to the evil ways of those fierce monks.
Sure enough, not long after, a group of fierce monks and evil Taoists with earth-colored faces came from behind with Huang Chen in their arms. All of them had empty hands, and the weapons in their hands were missing. They were still shouting randomly: "Incredible! Incredible! Headless."
The corpse is coming..."
The sleepless monk raised his thick eyebrows, picked up an evil Taoist priest by the back, and slapped him twice: "You are so panicked! What nonsense are you talking about! A poor monk is not afraid of ghosts with heads, but headless ones."
What’s there to be afraid of?”
Only then did the evil Taoist come back to his senses. His crotch was filled with coldness. He burst into tears and said, "It's true, it's true...it's true. We all saw it! If we hadn't run so fast, we might have been in trouble."
…”
The stench of the evil Taoist priest was really unpleasant. Chen Gu slapped his nose in disgust and said, "Master Sleepless, it would be better to ask these idiots to wash themselves down in the river!"
The sleepless monk held the evil Taoist in one hand, and couldn't help pinching his nose with the other hand, and muttered: "That makes sense!"
After saying that, he threw it. The evil Taoist immediately made a "plop" and fell into the shallow water. Then, Chen Gu and the sleepless monk followed the same method and threw other evil monks and evil Taoists into Luoshui. They asked them to untie their lower garments.
, and after washing him, he ordered people to drag him ashore.
The cool mountain wind blew on the drenched fierce monks and evil Taoists, making them tremble with coldness. They sneezed repeatedly for a while, but their minds seemed to be much clearer. The feeling of being out of their minds just now was instantly replaced by the bone-chilling cold...
…
The sail spreads like a wing, and the oar swings like flying.
The boat sailed smoothly and soon caught up with the heroes. The two groups of people looked at each other across the boat, their eyes filled with hatred.
The Shanling Guards and horse archers took off their crossbows one after another and prepared to send a wave of arrows to the boat. Fortunately, Xiao Zhan stopped him in time: "The enemy is strong and we are weak, so don't make any mistakes! Once you enter the city, there are thousands of ways to do it.
Make the Zoroastrian demons suffer."
Cui Jiu, Fang Qidou and others naturally looked unhappy. But the heroes also knew in their hearts that at this time, it was really not appropriate to irritate each other anymore. The reason why they set up their crossbows was just to bluff and scare them.
It's just a Zoroastrian demon on the boat.
Seven or eight missionaries were just on the deck, surrounded by Lily Guards and Shuangge Guards, watching with vigilance the men holding bows and crossbows on the shore. Some had already taken out locust stones, blow darts, and plum blossoms from their waists.
Darts and other hidden weapons, if people on the shore dare to act rashly, these many hidden weapons can be thrown out at any time.
Heavenly Protector Qin Xiangchu was sitting cross-legged on the deck, carefully adjusting his breath and performing exercises to relieve some of the pain in his internal organs. Suddenly he saw a commotion among many missionaries, Lily Guards, and Shuangge Guards, and he couldn't help but ask: "What happened?"
A double guard raised his hands to make a flame and knelt down on one knee: "Master Protector! The boat has caught up with the heroes and is walking alongside them. A crossbowman pointed his arrow at us, seeming to regret it.
.”
Qin Xiangchu raised his eyebrows: "Is that true? These public eagle dogs really care about eating rather than fighting! Where is the Lily Guard?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, four Lily Guards came close to bow down and perform the Holy Fire Ceremony: "Why did you summon me, Lord Protector?"
Qin Xiangchu said simply and neatly: "One of you four, quickly report the provocation of the heroes to the holy aunt; one person goes to the stern of the boat to urge the boatman to rock the oar harder to throw the heroes away as soon as possible; the other two, report to all the missionaries, if
When encountering an enemy situation, first send a message with a bamboo basket so that those who are ambushing will know that the boat is being attacked."
After the division was decided, Tan Xiangchu slowly stood up and walked to the place where everyone was gathered. He had to watch with his own eyes before he could feel relieved.
The boat and the group of heroes walked side by side for about half a cup of tea, and then they gradually left the group of heroes and headed east first. The tense atmosphere on and off the boat finally relaxed a little, and the crossbows and hidden weapons in the hands of both parties gradually
Put it away. Even if it was just a false alarm, it still frightened everyone.
Just when Xiao Zhan wanted to take a long breath, he suddenly heard several screams from behind him.
When he turned around to look, he saw a gray figure running in front of Canglong Qisu. With a snatched horizontal knife in his hand, he quickly cut open the ropes that bound the hands and feet of the six people. Mulan, the female guard who reacted faster, instantly cut off the long rope.
Stab out. Unexpectedly, this gray figure was so skilled that he avoided the thorn and killed three people in a row before turning back and cutting off all the remaining ropes.
This attack was caught off guard, and the Xuanyu Guards who were also responsible for the escort were stunned: the person who took action was actually Xuanyu Guards School Captain Zhou You!
I saw Zhou You's face was fierce, not at all like his usual playful smile, even his swollen cheeks looked a bit strange.
Canglong Qisu, who was freed from the restraints, quickly grabbed long spears, steel forks, horizontal knives and other weapons before the heroes could react. With their backs against each other, they formed a circular formation and ran straight towards the direction where the boat drifted away.
Li Miaolan's eyes were spitting fire: "Zhou You! Kill my sister, don't run away if you dare!"
When Cui Jiu saw this, he shouted angrily: "Zhou You! You traitor! No wonder we were ambushed by Canglong Qisu when we came here, but you were unscathed. Later, you deliberately went up to your face and made others swollen...
...What a 'bitter trick'! He actually deceived everyone."
At this time, the Mulan Guards who reacted and saw that they could not pursue them, waved their long spears one after another, surrounded the Xuanyu Guards who were looking at each other, took away the steel forks, and held them aside. There were also those who stood up to resist, but were beaten by the angry Mulan Guards.
He was swarmed up and knocked to the ground.
The Zoroastrian people on the boat only saw a commotion on the shore from a distance, so seven people rushed out and rushed straight to the boat. Everyone's nerves suddenly became tense, and they already had locust stones, plum blossom darts and other hidden weapons in their hands, and they were watching carefully.
Positions were thrown out one after another.
However, these seven human body techniques are extremely flexible. They can be eliminated and hit, and they can dodge left and right, causing all these hidden weapons to fail.
When they got closer, the Zoroastrian people discovered that these seven figures were actually Canglong Qisu, who had been captured before, and Zhou You, who had been beaten with a bruised nose and face.
The Shanling Guards and the horse archers took off their crossbows again and aimed at Canglong Qisu and Zhou You who were ten feet away. Arrows suddenly flew out like rain. However, Canglong Qisu and Zhou You seemed to have made a plan, and they heard the sound of wind blowing behind them.
, it was a turn, and he actually jumped up to the stern of the boat.
There were seven or eight double-armed guards at the stern of the boat, who were acting as boatmen and rocking the long oars hard. Suddenly, they saw seven figures running toward them. They dropped the long oars one after another and picked up the double-armed men to fight off the intruders.
Unexpectedly, countless arrows shot by Shanling Guards and Horse Archers had already followed the figures of Canglong Qisu and Zhou You, and poured towards the stern of the ship. The seven figures did not fight hard, but instead dodged away, each of them restrained one
The famous double Gewei stood in front of him.
The arrows fell one after another, instantly turning these Shuang Gewei into hedgehogs. However, Canglong Qisu and Zhou You took advantage of the gap between bows and arrows to cross the stern of the boat, abandoned the boat and landed, and soon disappeared into the mountains and forests on the other side.
In the valley, there was only a burst of wanton and wild laughter.
The Zoroastrian people found that the two guards at the stern of the boat had been shot to death by random arrows. Their eyes were about to burst. They waved their arms and hands, and the hidden weapons on their bodies were like a swarm of locusts, densely packed towards the group of warriors.
When Xiao Zhan saw the arrow accidentally killing a Zoroastrian, he knew something was wrong, so he quickly stopped the group of warriors and put into a defensive formation.
Sure enough! The hidden weapons on the boat were already coming like a torrential rain. After blocking one wave, there was another wave. Most of the bad guards at the front of the team had mediocre martial arts. From time to time, someone would cry out in pain and fall to the ground.
The heroes were quickly forced back by the hidden weapons.
"Wu Li Wu Li Wu Li..."
A hoarse and rapid sound came from the boat, superimposed with the echo of the drum, and soon resounded in the valley. The sound was high and sad, like the chirping of a flock of birds, which made people upset.
Xiao Zhan suddenly remembered that Mr. Xiao had gone to the hospital to visit the survivors of Tongyuan Canal. When those rangers talked about the Zoroastrian method of communication, it was the sound of "wu li". He suddenly understood something and hurriedly shouted: "This
This is a summons from Juozhen! All heroes, be on full alert! Don’t mess up your position..."
Before he finished speaking the word "foot", he heard a scream from the fierce monks and evil Taoists at the back of the team, like ghosts crying and wolf howling. The people and horses that were retreating suddenly stagnated and were about to rush forward.
At this time, waves of heat fell from the sky and landed on the official road. They were actually speckled flames and rockets! When they fell on the heroes, their hair and robes were immediately ignited, and they burned into huge balls of fire in an instant. The fireballs made a hoarse sound.
Struggling and running around, he ignited the people next to him... In just three breaths, a dozen people were surrounded by flames and staggered towards Luoshui.
"ah--"
"It hurts!"
"Get away! Don't touch me!"
"Get in the water quickly!"
"quick!"
In the rush, there was already chaos on the official road.
