Forced to Zhongnan Chapter 27 Struggle for Crossing
Yan Yun did not rush forward to greet this group of refugees. In this situation, there were too many variables and it was inevitable that there would be complications. He lagged behind and followed suit.
By observing the body movements of this group of people, he found that this escape team was mainly composed of young and strong laborers, with no elderly people or children. There were three equally young and vigorous women among them.
This team was led by a warrior, and the scimitar in his hand was wrapped with cloth to avoid reflection. He was obviously a man with rich experience in facing enemies.
However, the number of people in this team is a bit too large. If one person is careless, the consequences will be disastrous.
Perhaps due to luck, the Qiang people were not discovered by the Qiang people until they saw the Yellow River reflected in the moonlight.
The climate of Fenglindu is very different from that of Longtouguan. Longtouguan is already frozen at this time, but because Fenglindu is blocked by mountains, the weather is much warmer.
The turbid water surface of the Huangshui River glowed with a light silvery white color under the moonlight. This phenomenon only occurs when there is floating ice on the water surface.
As expected, a large number of boats were accumulated on the riverside, some of which had been pushed to the shore, and some of which were tied to the bows with cables and moored at the water's edge.
After all, this fleeing team was not a well-trained sergeant. They were inevitably excited when they saw the ship and began to rush towards the direction of the ship.
The warrior who led the team wanted to suppress the restlessness of the team, but he was powerless and couldn't do anything, so he had to join the queue of people rushing to get on the boat. After all, it was night, and the visibility was poor. Someone missed the step and fell to the ground.
The soft and soft pieces crackled all over the floor.
In this silent night, even the slightest sound can be infinitely amplified, let alone frequent noises.
"Who? Password!"
Just on the shore where the boats were moored, there were several Qiang camps, but they were obscured by the mountains and could not be seen at all from the angle where the fleeing team was standing.
There were several Qiang soldiers on night duty at the gate of the camp, and the shouts came from here!
"There is a spy!" Seeing that the other party did not respond, the Qiang soldier on duty immediately shouted a warning.
As the shouts rang out, like ripples on the ground, the hilltop on the right suddenly became bright.
Immediately afterwards, three rockets drew several arcs in the air and landed in the ravine.
The evacuation team suddenly panicked. Some people screamed, some fell to the ground, and some panicked and ran to the bottom of the ditch on the left to crawl.
When a round of arrows came, the four people lying at the bottom of the ditch on the left were suddenly penetrated by the arrows and died tragically on the spot!
One thing was lucky. There were no arrows coming from the top of the mountain on the left, and the Qiang people couldn't do everything when setting up the towers. This formed a narrow safe area on the right side, and the people hiding here were unscathed.
However, such a big movement was enough to cause a greater reaction from the Qiang people!
Suddenly, a thundering horn sounded from the watchtower, war horses neighed in various camps, and several night patrol teams quickly gathered here.
Yan Yun looked back and saw faint firelight coming from the valley behind, mixed with the sound of horse hooves. It was obvious that reinforcements were coming.
Even if Yan Yun wanted to go back, it would be impossible!
His heart skipped a beat, he bent his waist, used the bottom of the ditch on the right side as cover, and moved forward quickly.
"Who?" a woman shouted in panic. She fell at the end of the queue and never noticed anyone behind her. The sudden appearance of Yan Yun naturally made her extra frightened.
This woman was about 22 or 23 years old. She may have come from a wealthy family. Although she was on the run, she could not hide her pampered temperament. She seemed to have practiced a little bit of boxing and kicking, and she held a dagger in her hand.
But in these troubled times, there is no difference between rich and poor families. This woman is quite good-looking. Once she is kidnapped by the Qiang people, she may face a more miserable situation than an ordinary person. Being able to die is the most lucky thing.
"Same as you!" Yan Yun replied in a low voice, "Go quickly, don't stop!"
"Wait..." Seeing Yan Yun's extraordinary skills, the woman was so anxious that she grabbed his arm as if she had found a life-saving straw.
Yan Yun couldn't bear it and said, "Let go and follow me. Whether you can survive or not depends on fate."
When the woman heard this, she realized that she had been rude and quickly let go.
At this time, soldiers and horses had already rushed out of the Qiang camp in front, led by about ten horsemen. Fortunately, the bottom of the ditch was full of rocks, making it difficult for the horses to rush in. They could only stop at the top of the ditch and go down to the bottom of the ditch.
They are all infantry.
"Stop them, don't let them get close to those ships!" The person commanding the Qiang soldiers was a centurion. He was very experienced and could tell at a glance what the target of these unknown people was.
"Archers prepare!" the centurion ordered again.
"Langtou, there seems to be a woman, wait a minute..."
The Qiang soldiers who went down to the bottom of the ditch took advantage of the moonlight and saw clearly that there was only a dozen or so people coming to escape, so they didn't need to take it too seriously. Especially when they saw that there were women in the team, they became more excited.
They held their weapons loosely, and some didn't even bother to draw their swords, so they just laughed and surrounded them.
"Stop shooting arrows!" The centurion looked serious just now. When he heard that there was a woman, a smile suddenly appeared on his face. He coughed and shouted: "Be careful, I'm being chopped down."
I am not responsible."
"Don't worry, Wolf Head. With these few people, we can capture them easily?" a corps commander responded.
"What the wolf head means is, what do the girls look like?" a knight next to the centurion interjected.
"There's more than one..." Wu Zhang said.
"How many are there?" The centurion stretched his neck and almost looked through his eyes.
"It's too dark, I can't see clearly. It seems like I'm not even old yet. Hey...it's quite white..." the corps commander murmured excitedly.
When the captain shouted, the Qiang soldiers who were running with their weapons "Thunderbolt Bang Bang" became more energetic, completely ignoring the warriors who were approaching with weapons in front of them.
When the centurion saw that his soldiers were so excited, he couldn't hold it back, but he always had to take into account the authority of his official position. Even though he was on pins and needles, he endured it. When he vaguely saw the outline of a woman appearing behind several Dayu people, he
As if his butt was on fire, he jumped out of the saddle and almost dropped his helmet when he landed.
"Array up! His grandmother, please keep your spirits up and don't let the spies run away!" The centurion jumped into the ditch in a hurry and ran forward.
In his opinion, how can any of the wolf cubs under his command not touch the ladies they meet? If there are some of these ladies that he likes, but they are taken advantage of by his subordinates first, he will suffer a big fucking loss.
Yeah, so you have to give the order first to stabilize the wolf cub under you!
Seeing how miserable the Qiang people were, the leading warrior was furious: "They are indeed some bastards!"
The warrior pulled off the cotton cloth wrapping the blade, revealing a scimitar of the same style as that of the Qiang soldiers. This knife was enough to show that his hands were stained with Qiang blood.
The few strong men following the warriors all carried long weapons such as spears and forks, and gathered together in a formation of three or three. Judging from their movements, they seemed to be Dayu soldiers with military experience.
The few Qiang soldiers who were blocking the front realized that the atmosphere was not right. They wanted to join forces to deal with the situation. It was too late. The warriors and strong men killed many people in succession with more attacks than less.
The remaining Qiang soldiers were frightened and did not dare to advance. They gathered together and formed a queue, defending at the front and flanking the center with both wings.
Once the Qiang people became serious, the sense of oppression immediately increased. The four men and two women at the back of the fleeing team were afraid and hesitated to move forward.
The Qiang soldiers were outnumbered, and after forming an advantage, they only faced each other, and three strong men were cut down to the ground. The warriors were attacked from both sides, and were immediately at a disadvantage. The situation was very critical.
At this moment, a bamboo pole suddenly inserted into the battle group with the force of thunder, knocking over the two Qiang soldiers behind the warrior in succession, and then swept left and right, sending the remaining Qiang soldiers flying away!
