Volume 1: Looking Northwest, Shooting the Heavenly Wolf Chapter 49
The post here is not big, and there are only two masters and servants of Chai Tiannuo staying today. The post master simply asked the pawn to cook two delicious dishes, and invited Chai Tiannuo to eat with him.
"Master Yi Cheng, I saw many corpses along the way, and also saw a large number of cavalry in a hurry. Could it be that something big happened in Shanbei Province?"
Taking a pair of chopsticks to clean the hot wild vegetables into his mouth, Chaitino couldn't help but nod.
Yi Zu's craftsmanship is good, and the heat is right, removing the bitterness of the wild vegetables but retaining the crisp and tender texture. It is really appetizing when paired with garlic sauce.
"It's not a big deal, but the unstable Cangtian Dao has come out to cause trouble again."
Taking a sip of the home-brewed wine, Yi Cheng said with a wry smile:
"Now is the time when the economy is in recession, and God is not open to the problem. It has not rained much since the end of the year. In all likelihood, the food rations of the people in the north of the mountain have been cut off."
"Using this excuse, Cangtian Dao came out to stir things up again, saying that it was due to the Great China court's disrespect for heaven."
"Those magic sticks also obtained a large number of weapons from nowhere. They led the believers everywhere to cause trouble, and they often intercepted and killed people and property on the post roads."
"Because those guys intercepted and killed the messenger sent by the Ministry of War to the northwest a few days ago, which angered the chief officer of the Ministry of War, so the nearby soldiers began to clear out the believers of Cangtian Dao."
"I see. So, the golden fishhook is the symbol of Cangtian Dao?"
Chai Tiannuo suddenly nodded, and Yi Cheng also nodded along with him:
"Yes, anyone who joins Cangtian Dao must sew the fishhook symbol on their sleeves and other places. This is the rule of Cangtian Dao."
"Speaking of which, these guys are pretty powerful. With a group of new people, they slaughtered two soldiers from the capital the day before yesterday. It's really unexpected."
Chai Tiannuo couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. The soldiers were not the local soldiers who were neglected. To make the soldiers who were proficient in combat suffer such losses, Cangtian Dao did have some tricks.
"Brother, you are no ordinary person at first sight. Is this Wu scholar's identity a cover?"
Yi Cheng took another sip of turbid wine, looked at Chai Tiannuo and said with a smile.
Chaitino shook his head vigorously:
"This is indeed a Wu scholar, not one of those spies who cause trouble everywhere."
The imperial spies were notorious and no one liked them, and Chaitino didn't want to be misunderstood.
"The fine unicorn armor you are wearing is not something that only a showman can acquire."
Yi Cheng clicked on the armor on Chai Tiannuo, and Chai Tiannuo grinned:
"Someone got this through his own skill."
Without hiding anything, Chaitino told him the origin of Xilinjia. Yi Cheng felt his heart surge when he heard it, and he gave Chaitino a thumbs up:
"Although I have never been in a battle, I admire you the most!"
Chaitino handed over his hand and said politely.
After eating, Chai Tiannuo took a rest early and got up early tomorrow to make up for the time lost today.
The next day, as soon as Chai Tiannuo led Rouge Rabbit out of the inn, he saw a large number of cavalry running away. He couldn't help but frown and mutter, what happened?
"The situation is not good, someone set off red smoke."
Yi Cheng, who came out together, looked at the gradually whitening sky in the distance, with a worried look on his face.
The red smoke is a signal for help. Something may have happened ahead.
Chaitino thought for a while and said comfortingly:
"The problem shouldn't be too big, otherwise the rescue team would not be limited to Yidu."
"hope so."
The postmaster sighed, if the soldiers could not resist those guys, the nearby post station might be in danger.
With the sword hanging from his waist and the bow in hand, Chai Tiannuo carefully wrapped the fine lin armor around Chai Man'er, preparing for the worst.
After traveling ten miles, the sound of killing shook the sky. A large group of people and horses fought together, and the roar shook the sky!
The red smoke was still floating, and the group of soldiers from the capital just now were tightly surrounded by the followers of Cangtian Dao. The number of the opponents exceeded three hundred.
"Man'er, lower your body. If you see someone coming, just let the rabbit take you back!"
"Um!"
Chai Man'er nodded vigorously, and Chai Tiannuo dismounted, holding a bow and striding towards the battle circle.
"Block with your shield and don't mess up your formation!"
Mr. Qian, who led the support team, shouted loudly that the Cangtian Taoist disciples were too crazy, and everyone was like a demon in hell. Even if their limbs were cut off, they would not retreat, and they would try their best to pull others to die together!
These guys practice a life-for-life strategy. As long as they don't die in one go, someone else will definitely be the unlucky one.
Using all his strength, he chopped off the head of the cultist in front of him with one blow. President Qian looked at the battle circle and gasped for air, the wound on his abdomen was bleeding.
Compared with the previous few days, the strength of these guys has increased significantly, and their speed is much faster. Even the timing of their attacks is much better than before. Except that they don't have armor on their bodies, they are no longer weaker than the elite soldiers.
The cavalry was ambushed as soon as they rushed over. Cangtian Taoist disciples were well prepared. They not only dug dense horse traps on both sides of the post road, but also prepared many hooks and sickles.
In the moment of the battle, more than a dozen soldiers from the capital died, and all the war horses were wiped out. Although the red smoke ignited again, Mr. Qian understood that the big guys might not be able to support the arrival of rescue.
"kill!"
Holding back the pain, Mr. Qian raised his sword again and roared at the incoming cultist who broke through the shield defense.
"Bang~!"
The Cangtian Taoist disciple holding a scimitar had just jumped up when his head was suddenly smashed into pieces, and blood spurted out from his neck like a fountain.
“Duh duh duh~!”
Dense heavy arrows flew in continuously, and the believers fell instantly.
"Here's support?!"
Everyone excitedly looked towards the direction where the arrow was flying, and found that there was only one person running towards him holding a large crossbow.
"My mother, there are too few arrows!"
Twenty-four arrows and twenty-four lives. If there were enough arrows, Chaitino felt that he could kill most of them by himself.
"die!"
Chaitino roared angrily, splitting the oncoming cultist into two pieces with one knife, and then reversed the blade and lifted it up rapidly. Half of the other cultist's body suddenly flew into the air, and his flesh and blood spilled all over the ground.
The four-foot-long horizontal axis opened and closed, drawing several streaks of silver light in the air. The followers who rushed towards it crazily could not even make a sound before they turned into pieces all over the ground.
Chai Tiannuo's side suddenly turned into a field of flesh and blood. A trace of hesitation appeared on the face of the originally crazy believer. The soldiers in front of him were more powerful than imagined!
Seeing Chai Tiannuo's astonishing performance, the soldiers immediately cheered up. Their morale, which had been falling, suddenly rose. They no longer passively defended themselves and rushed towards the congregation with a roar:
"kill!"
"Gather the formation!"
The situation of the battle changes due to one person. Chaitino is the sharpest blade. There is no enemy wherever he goes. The soldiers of the government follow closely and come out with swords and guns, dividing and annihilating the church members who are in chaos. Both the offensive and defensive sides change instantly.
.
During the tea time, nearly a hundred of the more than three hundred Cangtian Taoist disciples were killed. One was decreasing, the other was increasing, and the battle situation became more and more favorable to the soldiers.
Chai Tiannuo swung the big cross in his hand rapidly, and his speed and power showed no signs of deterioration, just like his two thousand swords per day, which fell to the same point without any difference!
However, in the face of these crazy believers who did not care about their lives, Chaitino was seriously injured, and even fought with the prairie cavalry.
He was stabbed seven times in the chest and abdomen. Fortunately, he had eight layers of dragon and snake power to protect his body. Otherwise, he would have been seriously injured even if he had not died.
His limbs were injured numerous times, and his face was slashed twice, one of which almost hit his eye.
