Chapter 229 No Retreat
If it weren't for the soldiers around him, Wang Hu would have laughed a few times and patted his chest.
"Look, I am now a general of the Daliang court."
And it was also the Lao Shi Zi Long Guards.
The name "Long Weijun" sounds majestic when he hears it. Is he conferring an official title on his own?
Thinking of this, Wang Hu looked at the soldiers squatting on the ground and kicked them out: "Shout louder." Jiang Sanniang said not to kill too many soldiers in public, but his hands were really itchy. The heads hanging down were all wanted to be chopped off.
Wang Hu dropped the head in his hand, and the soldiers shrank in fear and collapsed on the ground.
Wang Hu suddenly felt that they could start an uprising because the officers and soldiers in Daliang were all eggless birds. There were more than 20 of them, and they managed to capture hundreds of soldiers without much effort. Isn't it easy for the Manichaeans and the Maitreya sect to gather together and attack the city?
Thinking like this, Wang Hu looked at Xie Yuyan. Xie Yuyan was also wearing the clothes of a soldier. The sky was dark and her features were hidden. It was impossible to tell that she was a woman. At most, she was thin and short.
We walked a little further.
They saw a dozen soldiers hurriedly coming down the mountain. When they saw Wang Hu and others holding knives, they immediately shouted: "My lord... My lord, please spare my life..."
The soldiers threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground to pray.
Wang Hu laughed out of his throat, and heard the soldiers' ears ringing with excitement, but they could only bite the bullet and continue to beg.
"Kneel aside and someone will come and take you to the military camp after dawn."
Zheng Long stepped forward and gave instructions.
As if they had been granted amnesty, the soldiers gathered together in the direction of Zheng Long's finger.
Mr. Wen on the side did not expect that everything would go so smoothly. He couldn't help but look at Jiang Sanniang again. The methods Jiang Sanniang showed could already prove her identity.
How can an ordinary woman be like this?
The soldiers continued to shout, and Xie Yuyan and others moved forward. Mr. Wen and others became more confident that they could take advantage of the chaos to capture Wang Yan and then leave here.
"Be careful," Xie Yuyan told everyone, "those soldiers who are unwilling to be captured will only resist with all their strength when they encounter us."
It's very simple. Since those people refused to bow to the "Dragon Guard", they had already made up their minds to fight. Those who conspire to rebel will only die if they are caught, so when the two sides confront each other, it will definitely be a life-and-death battle.
"Then what's there to be afraid of?" Wang Hu looked at Xie Yuyan, "Ms. Jiang Sanniang, you are standing behind me. I will protect you and let you see how I cut off the heads of those people."< br>
Wang Hu said, holding his long knife tightly: "Isn't it good to kill someone? Everyone kneels down and begs for mercy. It's really boring." He hasn't killed enough yet.
I have been wandering around Daming Mansion for several months and I have been holding back so much that I can finally kill myself.
Mr. Wen said: "It's a pity that there is no more black fire oil."
Xie Yuyan deliberately let them consume all the black fire oil at the foot of the mountain, because he might encounter Wang Yan and the villagers of Chenyao Village at any time after going up the mountain.
Black fire oil is difficult to control, and it may hurt them if you don't do it right.
In this case, it is better to use it all on those officers and soldiers.
Everyone gathered together to climb up the mountain, and occasionally encountered soldiers who were hiding. Zheng Long and Wang Hu slashed them all with one blow, killing several of them silently.
Of course, some of them went down the mountain to beg for mercy. Wang Hu wanted to kill him, but Zheng Long let him go.
Their numbers are too small. Although they have the upper hand now, it is like walking on ice. If they are not careful, they will be exposed, so it is best not to provoke resistance from the soldiers.
But no matter how careful you are, there will be a moment when your secret is exposed.
Zheng Long encountered another group of soldiers who had abandoned their weapons. The difference this time was that the leader of the soldiers suddenly shouted: "No, they are not wearing the armor of the Forbidden Army."
This sound made Zheng Long's heart skip a beat, and Wang Hu, who was immediately behind him, took action without hesitation and slashed the soldier's neck with the blade in his hand.
Xie Yuyan immediately frowned. broken.
The armor of the Forbidden Army and the Xiang Army were different, but at this time, it was impossible to tell clearly. The soldier was obviously deliberately deceiving them.
Zheng Long did not fall for the trick immediately, but Wang Hu acted too quickly.
This is an admission that they have a problem.
"Let's go."
Xie Yuyan shouted, but it was too late. A sharp whistle sounded from the group of people, obviously reporting a message.
There were footsteps coming from all around, and it was obvious that everyone around was rushing towards this direction.
Wang Hu also knew that he was in trouble, but he didn't care and picked up the knife to chop at the other person.
"Grandpa, I am the Dragon Guard, please kowtow quickly." Wang Hu's eyes turned red and he shouted.
Seeing this situation, Zheng Long and others also fought with the soldiers.
Xie Yuyan did not step forward rashly, she just raised her head and looked around.
Zheng Ming, who fled in panic, wanted to find Wang Yan, but he was unwilling to do so. He wanted to find out whether the people who were chasing him were the real Dragon Guards.
So he turned back.
If you want to ask why he became suspicious, it was entirely because the Dragon Guards moved too quickly and went straight to the mountain to arrest people. Logically speaking, even if there was an order, they should go straight to Daming Mansion to arrest Magistrate Liu.
And he just thought that among the Forbidden Army... there are also their people.
Especially the Hedong Road Forbidden Army.
In short, Zheng Ming felt that something was wrong.
Now staring down at those people, his suspicions were confirmed, Zheng Ming was thinking, and his eyes met with a pair of people in this group.
It was too dark and they couldn't see each other clearly, but Zheng Ming was sure that these people were following this man's orders. With almost no hesitation, Zheng Ming immediately killed the man.
Xie Yuyan watched Zheng Ming rush towards her. She could not escape or retreat. If she took Manichae away at this time and let Zheng Ming go down the mountain, those soldiers who had surrendered would return to Zheng Ming's command.
Everything they did tonight will be in vain. The important thing is that there will be no second chance to attack the mountain. So even though he knew he was being targeted, Xie Yuyan still couldn't dodge.
Soldiers approached before Zheng Ming. Xie Yuyan raised his sword and killed one and wounded the other. But after all, she is not as strong as a man. Under the entanglement of several people, she can no longer take the initiative and can only passively dodge.
Zheng Ming also arrived at this time. The blade in his hand exuded a cold light under the moonlight and stabbed straight at Xie Yuyan. The knife was fast and urgent. Xie Yuyan raised the knife in his hand to parry, only to feel the tiger's mouth shake. The waist knife was released immediately, and the sharp weapon in Zheng Ming's hand penetrated into her belly without any hindrance.
It was also at this moment that an arrow flew rapidly in the darkness, and the tip of the arrow broke through Zheng Ming's armor and embedded in Zheng Ming's flesh.
Zheng Ming's body was shaken, and Xie Yuyan took the opportunity to dodge backwards.
She felt no pain, and the blade did not penetrate very deeply, only hurting a little flesh.
Zheng Ming was not so lucky. Severe pain hit him, and his whole body was shrouded in fear of death. He turned his head and looked, and at some point, a person appeared not far behind him.
That was the person he had been looking for these days, Wang Yan.
