Volume 3 Chapter 29 The Last Killing Machine Ends in Gusu
The procession went on the road again, and the wounded were put on wagons, and the heavier cattle were disposed of into pieces of meat, while the sheep were carried by two people.
The empty-handed armorers were not idle, and they collected a lot of mugwort, which was so common that you could find some of it every step of the way.
As soon as the soldiers saw the mugwort grass, they were like meeting a treasure, and they happily stepped forward to collect it, and their clothes were bulging and full of mugwort grass.
Today did not travel much distance, less than the unitary, Gou Jian ordered to set up camp, Wu Yue's water network is vertical and horizontal, small rivers and streams can be seen everywhere, find a place with a water source to set up a camp, Luo Changfeng will open the whole sheep roast.
Fat sheep are worn on wooden sticks, set on the fire and roasted, and the sheep is cut out of the cut marks, so that the mutton can be roasted more easily.
The other armor soldiers could only eat some beef and mutton with a salty taste, and Luo Changfeng and A Qing didn't have many spices, which was enough for a few of them plus four swordsmen.
Meimei enjoyed a roasted whole sheep, sat and chatted under the night sky for a while, Gou Jian and Fengtong went to rest, with Luo Changfeng and A Qing here, they slept very safely and steadily.
Early the next morning, we set off again, and there was only one day's journey from Gusu here, and everyone cheered up.
Because they know that since Wu Zixu wants Gou Jian to die, he must have a back hand, and today, but the last chance to assassinate Gou Jian, he will never let Gou Jian go and arrive in Gusu safely.
In this way, the soldiers tensed their nerves, and walked for two hours in a state that was almost like a rumour, and the grass and trees were all soldiers, and when they reached the top, a desperate place appeared in front of them.
It is a road located in the middle of two cliffs, and the overall mountain situation is like a mountain being split from the middle, and there are peaks more than ten zhang high on the left and right sides.
If you stand on the road between the cliffs on both sides and look up, you can almost only see a ray of skylight, and this terrain has a very famous name, called "a line of sky".
"Stop. ”
The armor soldiers had formed a conditioned reflex, and when they heard Luo Changfeng stop, they immediately gathered together and formed a battle formation on both sides of the carriage, Changge raised diagonally, and the spears were flat.
Gou Jian, who closed his eyes and recuperated in the carriage, stared, Huo Ran opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Changfeng, have you encountered an ambush?"
Luo Changfeng said: "I haven't found an ambush yet, but even Wu Zixu can let go of this kind of terrain, and the general will have to look down at him a few times." ”
Gou Jian was curious, opened the door curtain and looked at it, and suddenly understood, "It turned out to be this place, indeed, if Wu Zixu wants to kill the widow, this place can be described as the last chance, and after this place, it will be a smooth road." ”
Ah Qing asked Luo Changfeng, "Changfeng, what should we do now?"
Luo Changfeng thought for a moment and said: "In this way, you and I will each take two swordsmen and go up the mountain from the left and right cliffs. ”
Ah Qing shook his head when he heard this: "Okay." ”
"Sit quietly, the king, and come when he goes. ”
"Well, be careful. ”
Luo Changfeng and Ah Qing each brought two swordsmen, Luo Changfeng to the left and A Qing to the right, submerged into the forest next to the road, and swept towards the cliff.
Luo Changfeng and the two swordsmen ran like the wind, their footsteps fell silently, in order to take care of the speed of the swordsmen, Luo Changfeng deliberately slowed down a lot.
As they ran, their right hands rested on the hilt of their swords at all times, and their bodies bowed slightly, ensuring that they could draw their swords out of their sheaths as quickly as possible.
After Luo Changfeng ran up the cliff along the sloping slope, he immediately gathered his ears, and the movement within a hundred zhang was in his ears.
At first, I didn't find it, but after running forward for more than 20 zhang, I heard more than a dozen or twenty chaotic breaths in my ears.
Luo Changfeng raised his hand, the two swordsmen stopped almost at the same time as him, the three of them squatted down, Luo Changfeng listened attentively, and quickly determined the location of the ambush.
Beckoning to the two swordsmen behind him, Luo Changfeng took them around in an arc to the left and touched the back of the ambush soldiers.
It's a pity that when there are outsiders, Luo Changfeng doesn't dare to use the flying knife, otherwise it will save a lot of effort to solve these ambushes, and his soft sword will not dare to show it unless it is absolutely necessary.
This was an era of bronze art, and even iron tools were only circulating in a small area, not to mention his steel weapons, which were stronger than iron tools.
If he takes it out, he can't explain the origin of this weapon, and he is likely to be "morally kidnapped" and finally sacrificed all of it.
This is a hole card for him to protect his life, even if he loses one, he must find it back, and he is reluctant to give it away.
At present, only Ah Qing's mother and daughter know that he has flying knives and soft swords, and no third party knows, so these ambushes can only be solved with the bronze sword he is equipped with.
There were more than 20 ambush soldiers, all of them lying on the side of the cliff, and on the edge of the cliff, a large number of rolling logs and stones were arranged, and there were strong bows and crossbows in their hands.
If the army really entered the valley unguarded, and was caught off guard, it would definitely be nine deaths, or even ten deaths.
When Luo Changfeng was in later generations, he didn't know how many such bridges he had seen from film and television dramas, and as soon as he encountered this kind of terrain, his first reaction was not to enter rashly, and he had to make sure that both sides of the cliff were absolutely safe before the team could pass.
Luo Changfeng and the two swordsmen had nothing to say, and quietly touched the ambush behind him, and then launched it brazenly.
"Qiang Qiang Qiang"
"Puff ......"
Immediately after the sound of the three long swords unsheathed, there was a series of sharp blades entering the flesh, and the three of them killed four or five people in an instant, and the ambush soldiers found three uninvited guests.
Frightened, they got up one after another, pulled out their long swords and went forward, and there was a little stupid, at such a close distance, they subconsciously went to get a bow and crossbow, and the result was naturally a sword to seal their throats.
These ambush soldiers should be Wu State soldiers, not warrior swordsmen, and their martial arts are much worse than those eight assassins.
The two swordsmen cooperated with each other, like killing chickens and slaughtering sheep, and easily defeated more than a dozen people.
Not to mention Luo Changfeng, I saw that his figure directly turned into a phantom, circling back and forth between the ambush soldiers.
After a breath, Luo Changfeng returned to the same place, and the seven ambush soldiers in front of him all froze, and the next moment, blood splattered out of his throat, and then fell to the ground.
Seven ambushes were solved, and there were only eight people left who besieged the two swordsmen over there, so Luo Changfeng turned around and solved it in a few moves.
The three of them searched on the cliff for a while, and when they saw that there were no ambushes around, they carefully pulled the rolling wood and stones back into the cliff, and there was no threat to the bottom of the cliff, so they walked to the side of the cliff.
When Luo Changfeng and the others started, the sound of fighting also came from the opposite side of the cliff, and the cliffs on both sides were more than ten zhang high, but the distance was only a few zhang, and the movement was clearly audible.
Luo Changfeng could even hear with his innate ability that Ah Qing's body style was changing, and the moves used by the two swordsmen to kill the enemy.
"Ah Qing, how are you over there?" Seeing that the movement had calmed down, Luo Changfeng raised his voice and asked.
"Solved, there are twenty-four here, what about you?" A-Qing's delicate voice came from the other side of the cliff.
Luo Changfeng said: "Twenty-one of us here, all of them have been solved, Bo Wei went to inform the king that they could pass, Ah Qing, we searched along the cliff and converged at the exit." ”
"Good. ”
This valley is about half a mile long, and at the exit, Luo Changfeng and A Qing converge smoothly, and there are no ambushes.
After waiting for a while, the team arrived, the five people returned, and then the result was a smooth road, and after a short walk, they saw that the forest was sparse, and there was no place for the Tibetan people to ambush.
The sun is slanting westward, slowly, what you see is the land is flat, and the houses are like a scene, which means that Gusu City is not far away.
