Two hundred and sixty seventh chapters on the brink of failure
()013-12-21
Mangmu saw that Zhong Jinwei was almost close, and was about to order the bow and arrow to be fired.
Just listen to the "bang" sound of the bowstring vibrating, and someone fired the arrow first.
Mangmu was a little annoyed. Who could be so disobedient and strike first?
Suddenly, he suddenly felt something was wrong, and the sound of a bowstring came from behind.
Years of experience in fighting on the battlefield made him keenly aware that the arrow was being shot towards him. At this critical moment, he suddenly rolled sideways.
Sure enough, as he expected, an iron arrow grazed his body and penetrated into the ground where he was originally fluttering.
When his companions heard the sound of the bowstring, they thought he had fired first, and they all stood up and wanted to follow suit.
As a result, he rolled like this and knocked down a piece of him. Affected by this, the arrows of several nearby Jianlu were deflected, but the arrows of Jianlu and Hanjian further away were not affected.
Just at this moment, Yan Yingyuan turned around and was about to interrupt again, when he saw movement on the mountain opposite from the corner of his eye.
He took a closer look and was shocked. A group of people appeared and shot arrows in this direction. It was obvious that they wanted to kill his brother-in-law.
Because he had experienced the assassination of Zhong Jinwei last time, his first reaction was that these people came to assassinate Zhong Jinwei.
Yan Yingyuan shouted: "There is an assassin." Then he stretched out his hand to grab Zhong Jinwei, pulled off the horse suddenly, and landed on the right side of the horse, so that the horse blocked Zhong Jinwei and reduced the danger.
Lu Xiangsheng was watching Yan Yingyuan talking. When he heard Yan Yingyuan say there was an assassin, he was startled. While turning his head to look, he reached out and took off the Black Iron Yanyue Sword hanging on the horse hook.
I saw a few arrows coming to my eyes in the blink of an eye, only to hit Zhong Jinwei's position.
What a Lu Xiangsheng..., the hand holding the knife stretched out and turned, and only heard a few "dang dang dang" sounds. Most of the arrows hit the surface of the Yanyue knife, making a crisp sound of iron. The remaining few arrows hit the target.
The front of Zhong Jinwei's horse was stuck on the ground, but no harm was caused.
The Dongchang officers and followers who were following Zhong Jinwei also took action at the same time. Especially Wang Peng, who was the most agile, jumped directly from his mount, jumped on Zhong Jinwei, and covered him with his own body.
Zhong Jinwei fell to the ground.
After Lu Xiangsheng blocked the arrow, he suddenly urged his horse on his hip and rushed up the mountain with a "whoosh" sound.
Suddenly, there was chaos all over the mountain and down the mountain.
Zhang Fengyi, who was in the front of the team, was far away and could not be saved, so he simply led the three hundred white pole troops to go around the back of the mountain to cut off the assassin's possible retreat.
The other Ming troops at the foot of the mountain, except for forming a circle to protect Zhong Jinwei, began to follow Lu Xiangsheng who was rushing in front, and went up the mountain to outflank the assassin.
Seeing that the situation was under control, Yan Yingyuan dismounted and helped Zhong Jinwei up.
Zhong Jinwei was suddenly pulled off his horse and was thrown hard. He was hit by Wang Peng again, and several parts of his body felt vague pain.
But at this time, he couldn't care less and looked up towards the mountain.
Yan Yingyuan pointed it out to him and said: "There seems to be something wrong with that group of assassins. They messed up their position. Many of their arrows were missed, and only one wave of arrows were fired."
Zhong Jinwei thought about who was so bold and dared to assassinate him in the presence of so many people. He turned around and said to Gu Baichuan, "Take someone to follow you and have a look."
"Yes." Gu Baichuan clasped his fists and agreed, then led the subordinates to rush up the mountain.
Besides, on the mountain side, after Mangmu escaped the fatal blow, he stood up and looked back.
But he saw another arrow shoot towards his face.
At this time, he was facing the incoming arrows, no longer dodging, he took aim with the bow in his hand and pushed the arrows aside.
"I'll kill all the Han dogs who eat them inside and outside." Mang Mu had already seen clearly what had happened to him, and the one who wanted to kill him was Yu Haijing, the Han gunman who had previously used the excuse of having a stomachache.
Therefore, in his hurry, he thought that several Han people wanted to rebel and wanted to kill them. At this critical moment, he gave the order to kill others first to protect himself, and then rushed towards Yu Haijing.
The other Jianlu and Han soldiers haven't figured out the situation yet. They looked at the Ming army rushing up from the bottom of the mountain, then looked at Mang Mu jumping up towards Yu Haijing, and then looked at each other. There were question marks on both sides. How did things develop to this point?
reached the point?
When Mang Mu's order was issued, the other prisoners did not hesitate and directly drew their swords and slashed at the Han soldiers beside them.
These Han soldiers thought it was a misunderstanding, and when they were about to ask for clarification, the Jianlu comrades beside them came over and chopped them down.
Firstly, they were unprepared, and secondly, these soldiers were much stronger than them. Almost in an instant, several soldiers were lying on the ground inexplicably.
After killing these Han dogs, a sober Jianlu saw the Ming army immediately surrounding him at the foot of the mountain, and quickly shouted in Jurchen dialect: "Hurry up, the Ming army is surrounding us. If we don't move, we won't be able to escape."
Mangmu heard the warning from his men and looked at Yu Haijing who was escaping in front of him. He gritted his teeth with hatred, but he had no choice but to roar, turned around and took the lead to escape to where the horses were.
Lu Xiangsheng had already crossed half the distance, and the mountain had become steeper, making it impossible for his horse to go up. He directly carried the Xuantie Yanyue Sword, jumped off the horse, and quickly chased up the mountain.
At this time, he happened to hear the warning voice of the Jianlu to his companions, and he realized that these people on the mountain were actually Jianlu.
Therefore, he could not let these assassins go, and quickly pursued them with all his strength.
Yu Haijing ran a few steps and found that Mangmu had not caught up. When she turned around, she found that Mangmu was turning around and running away.
He stopped running away, turned around again, and fired his bow and arrow at Mang Mu's back.
When Mangmu heard the sound of the bowstring, he knew that the Han dog must be shooting him again, so he kept moving to dodge. Although he was not shot, it also delayed his escape speed.
Because there was no one to stop them, the other Jianlu quickly overtook Mangmu, ran to where the horses were, and got on their horses.
Then he tightened the reins, turned the horse's head and started to run away. If he had been any slower, he would have been surrounded by the Ming army. With so many Ming troops, even if one beat a hundred, they would definitely die.
At this critical moment of life and death for these Jianlu, they still have to worry about the wild trees and run away first.
Although Mangmu was delayed, he had almost reached the place where the horses were. Feeling secretly happy in his heart, he prepared to get on his horse.
But at this moment, he heard footsteps coming from behind him, followed by an explosion of air, which frightened him out of his wits, because he knew that this was the sound that was often made when slashing someone with force.
A shout of support.
Mangmu hurriedly turned forward and passed under the horse's belly, then turned around and looked over with the help of the horse's cover.
I saw a burly man holding a Yanyue knife and cutting the air, then walked around the horse's butt and appeared in front of him.
Lu Xiangsheng thought to himself that this Jianlu was able to dodge the knife in the back just now, and his skills seemed to be good. When he was about to attack again, he suddenly heard the Jianlu say in not very fluent Chinese: "This is not fair, I am a hero. Wait for me."
Get weapons and fight again."
Lu Xiangsheng saw that the other party really only had a bow in his hand, but he didn't care about it at all. He still didn't stop and attacked, while cursing: "You built captives and even killed women and children, and yet you are fair and use you to pay homage to the dead."
!”
Seeing that the opponent was not agitated, Mangmu slashed down with the Yanyue Sword with great force. He quickly jumped to the right, trying to avoid the sword and think of other ways.
He had no idea that Lu Xiangsheng was already very proficient in the Yanyue sword technique and could use it with ease. Even with a seemingly fierce sword, he still had three points of strength left.
When Mangmu jumped to the right, Lu Xiangsheng flipped his wrist and the Yanyue Sword slashed horizontally.
With a "pop" sound, Mangmu's head was cut off with a knife, and then the body jumped to the ground and fell.
Baturu, who was building the army, and Mangmu, who wanted to surpass Obai, still had a look of unwillingness on their faces. They rolled over a few times and landed on the muddy ground without moving.
Lu Xiangsheng succeeded in his move, and without even looking at it again, he got on Mang Mu's mount, slapped the horse suddenly, and chased in the direction where the other Jianlu prisoners had fled.
At this time, the Ming army had already caught up with the mountain and searched everywhere. No other living person was found except Yu Haijing.
They didn't know the details of Yu Haijing, so they surrounded him one after another.
Yu Haijing quickly threw away his weapon and surrendered. While the Ming army was tying him up, Gu Baichuan arrived.
Yu Haijing recognized that these Dongchang soldiers were guarding Marquis Zhongxing, so she quickly said: "I want to see Marquis Zhongxing."
