Chapter 244: Sneak Attack in the Night
On the main road, not long after Hu Yicheng and the others left the pavilion, an arrow was shot in the nearby jungle. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
This arrow came suddenly, and immediately startled everyone. Fortunately, they had just clashed with Ou Yangming and the others, and they were still a little vigilant, so that knight's figure flickered, and he could dodge it.
However, the arrow also aroused the anger of the crowd, and several knights jumped off their horses, removed their shields from their horses, and quickly approached the jungle. Their movements are neat and orderly, and it is clear that they have been trained for many years.
It is impossible for an ordinary rabble to be so unchaotic, and only soldiers who have been on the battlefield can have such a temperament.
However, when they braved the danger of arrows into the jungle, they could only see a figure that was about to disappear. The man looked back abruptly in the distance, and gestured to them with contempt.
Several knights were furious and were about to catch up desperately, but the leading knight frowned and said, "If Lin Mo enters, let's go back!"
He has a very high prestige among the people, and once he speaks, no one dares to question and oppose it.
Hurriedly retreating to the carriage, the knight at the head said in a deep voice, "My lord, we are in trouble. ”
Hu Yicheng said lightly: "What." ”
"Among the men we had expelled at the pavilion were a few daring men who were hiding in the roads on both sides and ambushing us. ”
"Oh, what a boldness!" Hu Yicheng snorted angrily, a trace of anger on his face.
He never thought about whether the actions of himself and others in the pavilion had caused public anger, because in his heart, people had already been divided into hierarchies, and he never cared about the thoughts of those who were inferior.
"Ling Feng, did those people come out of anger, or did they have a plan?" asked Xu Wenshi in a deep voice.
This knight leader was originally a junior in Hu Yicheng's family, and he was naturally loyal to him. However, after hearing Xu Wenshi's question, he smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Xu, the little nephew can't see it." However, they only seem to want to vent their anger and have no intention of killing. ”
The arrow was ferocious, but it wasn't fatal.
Hu Yicheng snorted lightly: "Brother Xu, it's just some little thieves who are not angry and block the way." When the official returns to Beijing, he will definitely urge the government to wipe them out. ”
Xu Wenshi shook his hand slightly and said, "If it's just because you're not angry and get in the way, you don't need to be angry because of this." But......" He frowned slightly, revealing a hint of solemnity, and said, "I just feel that this matter is not simple. ”
Hu Yicheng was slightly stunned and said, "Brother Xu, what do you mean by this?"
Xu Wenshi thought for a moment and said, "That's it, let's move on, if they are still entangled, it will be a bit troublesome." ”
Hu Lingfeng glanced at the clan uncle and went straight away. Although this Xu Wenshi is not a member of the Hu family, he is very knowledgeable, and Hu Yicheng is even more obedient to him, so he does not resist.
The convoy continued to move, but soon, all kinds of arrows were constantly being fired from the jungle on both sides, although it did not make it difficult for them to move an inch, but it was undoubtedly a fool's dream to rush quickly.
Naturally, many knights refused to give up, but whenever they rushed into the forest, there was no sign of the enemy. This tactic of shooting an arrow and running away is simple, but extremely practical. The convoy was stuck in a quagmire, and it was difficult to keep moving.
Hu Yicheng and Xu Wenshi had already left the carriage, and the two of them looked at each other, and they both felt a chill welling up in their hearts.
This kind of procrastination technique naturally can't hide from them, and if you still believe that the other party is blocking them because of the previous conflict, it is too underestimating their intelligence. However, what puzzled them was who would spend so much effort to intercept halfway.
After being harassed by arrows again, Hu Yicheng looked at the sky and said in a deep voice: "Ling Feng, find a place to camp." He lowered his voice and said, "When it gets dark, you quietly send people to nearby cities to ask for help. ”
"Yes, sir. Hu Lingfeng also whispered.
Their convoy has more than 20 iron men in the army, at least they are also strong and cultivated, even if they are compared with the generals' personal guards, they are not inferior.
A few thieves were not in their eyes. However, after a sneak attack by the enemy, they were also worried. Because everyone knows that something big is going to happen tonight.
As night approached, Hu Lingfeng decisively gave up continuing to drive, and instead ordered the barracks to be arranged.
The camp tents on several carts were taken down, and the materials prepared by Hu Yicheng for this trip were extremely sufficient, even if he was camping, he would not be stretched.
It's just that the solemn aura in the convoy is getting heavier and heavier.
The knights dismounted, and while the tent was being built, two knights disappeared one after the other under the cover of the crowd.
However, even Hu Yicheng and Xu Wenshi were not absolutely sure whether they could successfully ask for help.
As night wore on, a roaring bonfire lit in the tent. The tent is even tighter on the outside and tighter on the inside, and all the resting people are fully armed, and even if there is the slightest change, they can immediately make the quickest response.
In the jungle, the dwarf quietly looked at the bonfire on the road, his eyes flashing with ferocity.
"What about the two messengers, have you caught them?"
"Big brother, don't worry, we have already arranged for manpower to intercept them to ensure that they can't escape!"
"Good. The dwarf nodded heavily, waved his hand, and said, "Make a move, don't leave a single one!"
When he said this, he also had a sense of relief.
After all, the person they were going to attack this time was the official of the court, and once they did this, even if it was for the sake of face, the court would never let it go easily. If it were possible, he would never want to get involved.
However, at the thought of those terrifying, death-filled eyes, his body couldn't help but shudder, and completely put aside that bit of luck.
After doing so, there may be the possibility of going away. But if he didn't, he wouldn't even be able to escape.
As soon as his mind turned, he immediately put aside all his worries, his figure flashed, and he walked towards the bonfire with everyone.
"Whoosh ......"
Dozens of arrows were shot from the shadows and flew towards the tent.
However, Hu Yicheng and the others had already prepared, raising their shields one by one, or using carts to cover them, and this round of arrow rain could not bring them any substantial damage except for making sure that someone was sneak attacking.
"Kill—"
A fierce roar rang out, and several strong men rushed to the periphery of the tent.
At this moment, several torches were suddenly thrown out of the tent, illuminating the surroundings as if it were day. Then, sharp arrows shot out from the inner circle, instantly knocking several strong men to the ground.
The defensive circle made by Hu Yicheng and others is very strong, and although the time is pressing, it does not leave any obvious flaws.
The injured man lay on the ground and howled in pain, which suddenly made many strong men feel cold. They are not lions in a hundred battles, and it is okay to fight a tailwind battle, but once they encounter adversity, they immediately hesitate.
However, at this moment, a short figure suddenly appeared in the firelight.
Armed with a large knife longer than his height, he walked towards the campfire step by step.
Hu Yicheng's face changed slightly, and he said sharply: "Shoot!"
Such an obvious target appears on the battlefield and will undoubtedly be attacked by concentrated fire.
In the next moment, at least seven or eight arrows were shot one after another.
The short figure kept walking, and with a flick of his wrist, the big knife on his shoulder suddenly set off a dazzling light.
All the arrows that were shot at him were instantly shattered by the light of the sword, turning them into debris.
"Yang Pin is strong!" Xu Wenshi gasped, and a sweat stain was already oozing from his vest.
They expected someone to ambush them, but they never imagined that there would be a Yang powerhouse mixed in. This is a strong man, just a few of them, how can it be worth such a strong man's shot?
Everyone looked at each other, and they all saw the look of despair in each other's eyes.
The dwarf sneered, still moving forward step by step unhurriedly, he just wanted to rush into the camp with absolute strength, so that these people were terrified, so that his subordinates could kill them all.
"Whoosh......"
Another arrow was fired, but when it was fired, everyone's faces were flushed with a strange look.
This arrow was not shot from the bonfire ring, but from behind the dwarf.
Even the dwarf himself had an unbelievable feeling at this moment. He let out a soft shout, and the sword light in his hand flashed again, like a thunderbolt, and slashed at the arrow.
Then, with a bang, the arrow burst open and turned into countless shards of steel, continuing to fly towards the gnome.
The dwarf's face changed drastically, and he swung his sword without thinking, only to hear the sound of a violent clash of gold and iron, and he did his best to block most of the fragments.
However, there were still two pieces of iron flying against his body, leaving two blood marks on his body.
Everyone is scalp numb, what kind of weapon is this, it can actually hurt a strong man. If they live in a different place, won't they die?
"Whoosh ......"
The next moment, several arrows were shot out in a row, and the power of these arrows was not very great, but the dwarf no longer dared to resist.
His figure flickered, and his mouth let out a fierce roar, and he tried his best to dodge the arrows, and ran wildly towards the shadows, even the campfire tent behind him.
Because he knew better than anyone that if this hidden incident was not resolved, he was afraid that he would not have any chance to fulfill the wish of the ambush.
In the tent, Hu Yicheng and Xu Wenshi looked at each other, and they both had a feeling of escaping death.
"Ahh
Terrible screams rang out from everywhere, and although there was no figure to be seen in the dark night, the screams were enough to make people feel creepy.
Xu Wenshi asked in a deep voice, "What should I do?"
Hu Yicheng gritted his teeth and said, "Kill it!"
The two jumped to their feet and rushed out with the knights.
