Chapter 958: Escape for Your Lives
Suddenly, everyone hugged their heads and scurried, and the smart ones hurriedly clinged their bodies to the cliff, and the stupid ones only became unjust souls under the stone when they ran for their lives. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After a round of stone rain, the ground was already full of bloody corpses, and there was no need to count them in detail, at least thirty or forty soldiers died tragically under the stone rain. However, this is only the beginning of the nightmare.
"Shoot rockets!" Yang Si shouted again. Before he finished speaking, he saw hundreds of rockets heading towards the bottom of the cliff. In this dark night, the flaming arrows dragged a long beam of light and shadow as they passed through the void, like a meteor on a summer night, which was extremely beautiful. This time, the target of the rocket was not the enemy army, but a dozen or so firewood piles that had long been piled up on both sides of the path. Naturally, some black oil had already been poured on the pyre, so as soon as the rocket came into contact with the pyre, it immediately set off piles of bonfires. With the lighting of the campfire, the bows and arrows of the two allied armies are equal to the effectiveness of the tiger, especially the well-trained and skilled sword and rose warriors, who are almost unmissed, and every time they shoot, they have a catch.
Because the trail was full of huge stones, the movement of the Meng Caiyi army was extremely inconvenient, and it was extremely difficult to move forward or backward. In addition, they didn't know where they were attacking and how many people and horses there were, so they almost didn't even have the heart to resist, and they only knew how to blindly dodge the arrows of the dead from the top of the cliff.
The fear of death overshadowed everything, and under the cover of the bonfire, the soldiers of the Mengcaiyi Army all looked terrified, and their wills were on the verge of collapse.
"Extinguish the fire! Jump into the river and escape! At that moment, a large, thin black man shouted hoarsely through the crowd. Perhaps, he is the only one of them who can stay awake. If Wu Ruotang and Feng Weixue were also here, they would definitely be able to recognize this person as the one who had defeated the Shenwu Army's first frontal attack in Shen Yuan.
The soldiers of the Mengcai Army clearly put great trust in this man. Under his leadership, they braved the rain of arrows to kick and beat the bonfire, intending to push the bonfire into Tanxi to extinguish it. There are also many people, in order to save their lives, regardless of the cold of the river in winter, and jump to Tanxi. Yang Si looked at the big black and thin man, and was greatly surprised by this person's sobriety.
"What a talent, it's a pity that you are my enemy." Yang Si smiled slightly, took out an iron strong bow from his side, pulled the string with an arrow, and shot the black and thin man with an arrow. This arrow was filled with Yang Siqiang's true power, as if the arrow had just left the string, and it had already reached the chest of the black and thin man. Who knew that the black and thin man's skills were not weak, although Yang Si's arrow was suspected of a sneak attack, but he still noticed it. But because the arrow was so fast, he had lost room to dodge, and he was eager to fall back, but he still couldn't escape. I only heard him scream, and a long arrow was driven into his right shoulder, bringing out a rain of blood, and then came out of his back.
"Hey!" Yang Si secretly screamed a pity, and shot another arrow. This time, he went straight to the center of the black man's eyebrows, and the speed of the arrow was half a point faster than the previous one. But the big black and thin man was already prepared, and he easily rolled over to dodge. But when he saw this arrow coming, the speed of the arrow was extremely fast, and the sound of breaking through the sky sneered, obviously plotting that he must be a martial arts master. In this kind of situation, as long as you have a small negligence, you will be destroyed. In any case, it is still important to save your life.
Thinking of this, he sighed, no longer hesitated, and jumped down to Tanxi behind him with the rest of his companions.
When Meng Caiyi saw the black and thin man jumping into the river to save his life, they followed suit. For a while, the sound of plopping diving was endless, and the water splashed everywhere.
Seeing this situation, Yang Si withdrew the bow and arrow in his hand and shouted, "Everyone play again, and prepare to retreat back to the city!" If we move quickly, we can still rush back to Xiangyang before dawn and have a hot breakfast...... Huh!" The unexpectedly easy victory of the night, with not a single wound on his side, was a wonderful ending that made everyone feel in high spirits and loudly agreed in unison.
"This Humpty Dumpty man really has a hand in fighting!" At the same time, everyone couldn't help but praise it in their hearts.
Xiangyang East City Gate. There were several long strings of lanterns hanging from the gatehouse of the city wall, and on this snowy night, the lights became more and more dim, making only a dozen feet of land faintly recognizable.
The heavy gates opened. Unlike other city gates, which are closed after every third watch, outside the East City Gate is Xiangshui, a transportation hub that runs through the north and south of the river, and merchants who operate goods between the north and the south often dock at the Dongcheng Wharf in the middle of the night or early in the morning. In order to facilitate the entry and exit of these merchants who paid a large amount of taxes in and out of Xiangyang, the county government specially allowed the East City Gate to remain closed all year round. As a result, it has become the only way to freely enter and exit Xiangyang City in the middle of the night.
"If you see that woman with a bronze axe, you will be killed!" This is an order given by Hideyuki Tatsuzawa. He has long been accustomed to receiving such simple commands, and in the same way, he and the other three classmates have always completed tasks very easily and effectively. However, for some reason, this time I always felt that something unexpected would happen. It was just a strange premonition, this ominous feeling was very bad, as if something was blocking the chest, stuffy, extremely uncomfortable. Perhaps, it's time to think about washing your hands. When the task of this trip to the Central Plains was completed, he asked Long Ze Xiuxing to resign and live a normal life, and the money he had saved in the past few years was enough for him to live for the rest of his life. Marrying a wife and having children, this kind of life, which was scorned by oneself a few years ago, now seems so desirable. Hearts that have experienced too much slaughter and bloodshed have long since lost their initial excitement and excitement, only deep fatigue and weariness.
Xicheng Mu, who was wrapped in black clothes, stood silently in the corner of the east gate of Xiangyang, his face was as calm as water, but his thoughts were surging in his heart and could not be suppressed. Despite his majestic size, in the dim light, his figure seemed to dissolve into the masonry of the city wall behind him, and if he didn't pay attention, no one would know that there was a person standing there.
The "Five Elements Stealth Technique" is one of the most basic techniques of Iga Ninjutsu. According to the number of the five elements, it is divided into five categories: "Golden Concealment", "Wood Concealment", "Water Concealment", "Earth Concealment" and "Fire Concealment". As the name suggests, those who are proficient in "golden concealment" can hide in metal substances without being noticed by others, while those who are proficient in "wood concealment" can hide among the trees and disappear. Xicheng Mu is the master of "Tuyin", at this moment he is standing in the corner of the city gate, collecting the spiritual breath essence in his body, looking at it from a distance, it seems that he does not exist at all.
