Chapter 140: Qiang Cavalry
Walking out of the distance, Qiu Ming turned around to look at the fire, and sighed: "This Han Chang has a clear mind and a quick speech, he is really a good talent, but unfortunately he is Han Sui's brother, and he can't be used by me after all." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Wei Yan said angrily: "Can you not twist around, I feel very uncomfortable like this." ”
Tyumen immediately made a dying look: "I'm all poisoned, can't you have some sympathy?" ”
Zhang Yulan said with a smile: "Liar, your poison has already been cured, but I refuse to walk, but I want Wei Yan to carry you." ”
Qiu Ming let out a long sigh and was about to speak, when Huang Zhong suddenly said: "There is the sound of horses' hooves, they are coming so fast." ”
Sure enough, with the hooves of the horses, a flying horse rushed out of the smoke and dust, followed by ten horses, hundreds of horses, and thousands of horses, gathered in front of the burning beacon tower, pointing and pointing at some without knowing what to say. After a while, some of the cavalry were left to put out the fire, while the rest searched the valley.
Qiu Ming hurriedly patted Wei Yan under him: "Hurry up, they are chasing after you." Wei Yan rolled his eyes, but he didn't bother to bother with him anymore. Huang Zhong said: "Although they are numerous, they are all cavalry, we only walk along the mountain, and they can't do anything about us." ”
This group of people has been running on the mountain road since they left Xieyu Pass, and except for Tyumen who also drank a small sip of hot water, everyone else just picked up the snow on the road at random to quench their thirst, and they were all exhausted at the moment. It's just that now everyone knows that their lives are at stake, and they completely ignore their own fatigue and continue to climb the mountain.
At this time, the Qiang chasing cavalry had also discovered their location, and they all opened their bows and arrows to shoot at them. However, Tyumen and the others had already climbed high, and those feathered arrows all fell down in mid-air, and even if there were a few warriors who were good at shooting, they only shot at the rocks under their feet, bursting out a little spark.
Huang Zhong shouted angrily: "Come and don't be rude", picked up the magpie painting carved lacquer bow and swished a few arrows, and those few warriors who were good at shooting fell into the dust in response. The Qiang people were shocked and raised the round shield in their hands together, but Huang Zhong withdrew his bow and ignored them.
Qiu Ming looked at Huang Zhong, this No. 1 arrow god of the Three Kingdoms was too powerful, fortunately, he had an old relationship with Wei Yan, and he was co-opted by himself in time. But he immediately turned his mind again, since he took Huang Zhong, it seems that he has been being hunted down and killed, once in Huaisi, once in Dengzhou, and now again in Baoxie Valley, is it really incompatible?
The Qiang people were in chaos for a while, and hundreds of people chased them up along the mountain road, and more than 1,000 people went forward to outflank and block the way, but the others still followed them down the mountain and pointed at them and scolded them incessantly.
Qiu Ming looked at it for a while, and suddenly laughed, it turned out that these Qiang people have lived on horseback since childhood, and their legs have long become the shape of a loop, and it is really bitter to climb up the mountain road, and from time to time someone rolls down the mountain, fortunately there are companions below to catch it.
Qiu Ming relieved his heart and asked, "That Nanhua old immortal is Zhang Jiao's master, why did he have something to do with the Xiqiang rebels again?" ”
Zhang Yulan said: "I have heard of this person, it is said that it is the branch handed down by Lao Tzu in the west of the letter valley, more than 100 years ago to ride a crane to the east, because of the name of Muzhuang Zhou Nanhua, so he called himself Nanhua Lao Xian." He did not preach or give charms, but only visited strange people and strange people who wanted to disturb my Han family, my grandfather Zhang Ling once fought with him in Yuntai Mountain, forcing him to swear that he would not go out of the mountain for 70 years. Now that I think about it, the seventy-year covenant has passed, and he has come out to make trouble again. ”
Qiu Ming touched his chin: "Messy man? What's in it for him? Zhang Yulan shook her head and said she didn't know.
In order not to get lost, everyone could only climb along the edge of the sloping valley and did not dare to go deep into the mountains, so although the Qiang soldiers behind were not good at climbing the mountain, they followed closely at the bottom of the mountain, so as not to chase and lose people. Tyuming saw that the chasing soldiers below were gathering more and more, almost filling the entire river valley, and the visual effect was extremely shocking, and he couldn't help but say in a lost voice: "How can there be so many rebels?" It looks like there should be more than 10,000, right? ”
Wei Yan said: "It doesn't matter how many people he has, he just can't come up anyway, and when we return to Meixian to mobilize the army, these are just turtles in the urn." ”
Huang Zhong said worriedly: "It's not important to worry about the back, but those cavalry outflanked in front don't know what will happen?" If they capture Xieyu Pass, we will really become turtles in the urn, and everything will be over. ”
Qiu Ming smiled: "Don't be afraid, our beacon warning still works, you see." Everyone looked up together, only to see that several beacon towers in the northern section of the Xiegu Valley had already raised fireworks, and the wolf smoke was really everywhere and went straight to the sky, almost even the sun was going to be black, even if Kong Fu, the guard of the Xieyu Pass, was a complete fool, seeing such a scene, he should also break the lock and prepare for defense.
Wei Yan said: "It seems that there is no need to worry about Xieyu Pass, but we don't know if the horses we put in the beacon tower outside the pass will be sent to the pass in time, and the rest is not tight, but it would be a pity if Hansheng's snow-stepping black horse fell into the hands of the Qiang people." ”
Huang Zhong sighed: "What is a war horse? Moreover, this horse is quite psychic, so it may not be able to be obtained by the rebels. ”
After walking for a while, a soldier exploring the road in front reported: "At the parrot pigeon mouth ahead, there are Qiang rebels blocking the way." ”
Several people stepped forward to watch together, only to see that on the ridge in front of them, a stone beam stretched out from the mountain peak next to it, like a parrot pigeon stretching out its mouth and pecking into the valley. The more than 1,000 cavalrymen who had just arrived had already divided into forty or fifty men to climb the stone beams, and another two or three hundred men stood on the road to block the way, while the rest were guarding the horses in the valley, shouting and cheering.
Qiu Ming straightened up, jumped off Wei Yan's back, and asked, "There are not many people on the ridge, we should be able to rush over." ”
Wei Yan said: "Those who stand in the way are not to be feared, but those people on the stone beam are difficult to prevent. Huang Zhong also said: "The stone beams are too high, they can hide in the dark and drop arrows, but it is difficult for me to shoot them." ”
As he was talking, a big man came out from the opposite side: "I am burning when I am a Qiang obsessed with suffering, can the Han people on the other side dare to fight with me?" ”
Qiu Ming's heart moved, and he shouted: "Fight here? It's so unfair, if you fight to the bottom of the fight, and the people above you secretly shoot down an arrow, wouldn't it be a waste of life? ”
Mi bitter said angrily: "Do you think that the warriors of the Qiang people will be as insidious and cunning as the shameless Han people? You are now stopped here by me, there is no way to escape, where do you need to hurt people with hidden arrows. Besides, I am the most brave in Xiqiang, and whoever dares to suddenly release a dark arrow during my fight, I will definitely tear him alive with my own hands. His voice was loud, and as soon as these words came out, the Qiang soldiers on and off the mountain responded in unison, and the momentum was amazing.
Qiu Ming looked at the surrounding terrain and patted Wei Yan on the shoulder: "Wen Chang, you go and deal with that guy, the longer it drags on, the better, I have my own way." (To be continued.) )
