Zhang Wuxin and more than 20 people, carrying two carriages, rushed all the way to the capital.
It stands to reason that the best way to get from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to the capital is by water, but Yu Dayou repeatedly warned not to take the water route.
Zhang Wuxin is a martial arts fanatic and does not know much about the world, but An Qingyue is well-informed, so Yu Dayou always discusses with An Qingyue.
There are more than 20 masters in Wudang Mountain, plus An Qingyue and Zhan Yu. On land, unless a regular army comes, they are all capable of protecting themselves.
And they only followed official roads and never took small roads along the way. Anyone who dared to blatantly mobilize troops to attack would be treason.
But taking the water route... Although Wudang Mountain is located in Hubei, everyone can swim, but fighting on the water will greatly reduce the value of one's force.
Not to mention that if the other party jumps over the wall in a hurry, smashes the ship into a boat, and destroys both the jade and the stone, then this group of people will inevitably be wiped out.
Although there are not many people in Wudang Mountain who travel around the world, Zhan Yu is a veteran of the world, and An Qingyue has an official status, so everything is naturally arranged along the way.
Rush on the road at dawn and stay overnight at dusk. We will only stay in big inns in the city, not in hotels in the countryside, and we will not give the enemy a chance to attack the jungle!
Seeing that it is getting closer and closer to the capital, everyone is becoming more and more vigilant.
They understood that the other party could not just let them enter Beijing smoothly, and they must have been waiting for the opportunity to take action along the way.
Now the arrow is on the string, and if I can't wait for the opportunity, I can only draw the bow forcefully.
When the official road extended into a forest, Zhan Yu stopped his horse and waited for everyone to gather around, then he looked around.
"From here to the capital, there are only woods on this official road. Although it doesn't block the sky, there have been bandits before.
Later, the bandits were wiped out. I guess if anyone wanted to take action, they would do it here. Everyone, take care! "
More than twenty people formed a large circle, surrounded the two carriages, and drove slowly into the woods.
This place was originally a dense forest. When the official road was built here, it was too far to detour, so the road was cut down directly. When building roads, trees were cut down in the forest and fires were burned to erect houses, so the trees appeared less dense.
But when we walked to the middle, there was still a section of trees that were tall and dense. The sunlight could only penetrate the branches and dappled the official road. Although it was not dark, it was still very cold.
In the cold winter, many leaves have fallen on the ground. The rustling sound of carriages and horse hooves on the leaves is particularly clear in the quiet dense forest.
Amidst the rustling, dozens of slight wind sounds sounded. Zhang Wuxin suddenly raised his head and shouted: "Be careful."
The others' reactions were slightly slower than his, but they responded immediately when he shouted. Their swords were unsheathed almost at the same time, shooting down dozens of cold stars flying from all directions.
It was a very strange dart, disc-shaped and with a six-pointed star, which ensured that the dart remained extremely stable in flight.
At the same time, there is no need to consider the distance to the target, and there is no need to calculate how many times to rotate in the air to ensure that the tip of the knife hits the enemy like ordinary flying knives.
Zhang Wuxin, a martial arts fanatic, saw the magic of this kind of dart at a glance. He immediately became excited, grabbed one in the air, and held it up to An Qingyue in surprise.
"Junior sister, look, this is similar to the money dart we have seen, but it is bigger and heavier than the money dart, and the six sharp corners are more lethal than the money dart with edges all around!"
An Qingyue was speechless. How long has it been since this happened? Do you still have the time to study the pros and cons of concealed weapons?
"Brother, be careful. This kind of hidden weapon doesn't belong to the Central Plains martial arts community. The enemy's origins are a little weird!"
Before he finished speaking, another round of darts flew out from behind the trees, from the top of the trees, and even from the roots of the trees, flying towards everyone from all directions.
This time there were more darts, and they were of different sizes. They were spinning in the air and making a whining sound. The target was not at the crowd, but at the horses they were riding!
Everyone used their long swords to block the attack again. Amidst the clanging sounds, a Wudang Taoist priest who was slightly weak in martial arts failed to protect his horse and was hit by a dart in the leg.
The horse was in pain, neighed, and galloped forward! The Taoist priest hesitated for a moment and was already taken out more than ten meters away!
Zhan Yu shouted: "Abandon your horse and come back!"
The Taoist priest pressed his hand on the horse's back, and his whole body floated up, landed on the ground, and ran back.
Zhang Wuxin's eyes had been staring at the darts flying out from behind the trees. Suddenly he flicked his hand and threw out the hexagonal dart he was holding.
As if he was used to using this kind of dart, the dart spun and flew up to the treetops. Someone let out a muffled groan and fell heavily from the tree to the ground.
At this time, everyone in Wudang also calmed down, took out the hidden dart weapons they carried, and fired back in the direction of the darts.
It was a matter of life and death at this time, and both sides spared no effort to cover it with firepower. Various darts flew across the sky, colliding with each other from time to time, making clanging sounds.
In less than a pack of cigarettes, both sides' hidden weapons were exhausted. Only two or three people were injured on each side, but six horses of the Wudang people were beaten away.
The horses driving the two carts were not seriously injured because they were wearing leather armor used by the army; secondly, the wheels had been jammed with logs, and even if the horses were frightened, they could not be dragged away.
In the long-range firefight between everyone, all the hidden weapons were destroyed, but there were indeed many on the ground, but they were just exchanged.
The six-pointed stars of the ambushers all landed on the official road, while the darts of the Wudang people were stuck in the trees or fell in the forest.
But at this time, the situation reversed, because even if the ambushers picked up the darts thrown by the Wudang people, they would not be able to use them. Throwing them back was neither accurate nor guaranteed to bring the tip of the knife forward, and the lethality was ridiculous.
The people in Wudang are not very good at using six-pointed stars, but they have Zhang Wuxin, a martial arts idiot. Zhang Wuxin only threw one, and he was already very good at using this kind of dart, and he kept praising it for its good use.
So everyone in Wudang started to assist, picking up darts from the ground and handing them to Zhang Wuxin. Zhang Wuxin sat upright on his horse and acted as a sniper calmly.
Someone kept shouting: "Senior Brother Zhang, there was someone behind the tree just now!" Whoosh, snap.
"Senior Brother Zhang, there was a dart flying down from the top of the tree just now!" Whoosh, snap.
"Senior Brother Zhang, the fat man behind the tree is exposed. Look, he is still moving. His butt is exposed and retracted, but his belly is exposed, and his butt is exposed again..." Swish, snap, ah... …
Just when Zhang Wuxin was enjoying the beating, the ambushers could no longer endure this one-sided beating situation.
Following a low bamboo whistle, a group of men in black suddenly sprang out from behind, on top of, and at the roots of various trees. There were more than fifty people in total, and they surrounded everyone in Wudang.
The leader said in a sinister tone: "Zhang Wuxin is mine. I leave the others to you and kill them all!"
The men pulled out their swords. The style of the sword was strange, similar to a Japanese sword, but it was shorter than a Japanese sword and about the same length as a Xiuchun sword. It was obviously specially made for the convenience of assassination.
The leader was holding a standard Japanese sword, which was longer than Zhang Wuxin's long sword. He put his long knife on the ground and waved to Zhang Wuxin arrogantly.
Zhang Wuxin's eyes were bright, and he could see that the leader was very skilled. To him, it was like a pervert seeing a beautiful woman.
The leader was a little surprised by Zhang Wuxin's eager gaze. He had seen many masters who remained calm in the face of danger, but he had never seen an opponent as happy as Zhang Wuxin.
The two teams faced each other quietly, waiting for the opportunity to start the battle. The horse that was the first to be hit in the leg ran back. Seeing the murderous crowd in front, it hesitated and did not dare to come over.
But it was still attached to its own herd of horses and was unwilling to leave just like that. It kept pawing the ground with its hooves and raised its head and let out a sad neighing sound.
The sound of the horse's neighing was like a fuse, instantly igniting the extremely tense air, and the two teams rushed forward in unison!
Zhang Wuxin stepped on the horse's back and flew over the melee crowd in the air, rushing towards the leader who was waiting for him with a knife.
The leader raised the long sword high above his head, waiting for Zhang Wuxin to rush in front of him. Before he could gain a firm footing, he struck down with the long sword with thunderous force!
This move was simple and unpretentious, just a quick word, but Zhang Wuxin did not dodge or dodge. He followed the flying force, tiptoeing to the ground and accelerated twice. The man and the sword collapsed into a straight line, and shot towards the leader's throat. !
This move is like flying up and crossing the line with your head in a 100-meter race. Although I am not as fast as you, I will get there before you.
Zhang Wuxin's height of 1.8 meters and a long sword of 1.3 meters. With this length and superimposed speed, he was in front of the leader almost instantly.
No matter how fast the long knife slashes, it can't be faster than this straight-line foul play!
The leader could only dodge to the side, and at the same time, the downward slash of the long knife naturally turned into a diagonal slash, which no longer posed much of a threat. He used the momentum of dodge to spin around, and the long knife turned into a horizontal swing, sweeping towards Zhang Wuxin who had just landed on the ground with great speed.
If Zhang Wuxin jumped up, he would immediately adjust the height of the sword and swing it again. Zhang Wuxin, who was in the air, would not be able to dodge and would be forced to use his long sword to parry.
He used his two-hand chakra to cut the long sword. He was sure that even if he couldn't cut the sword, it would be enough to knock Zhang Wuxin out of the air and make the sword fall out of his hand. At that time, it will be a situation where you are at your own mercy.
He has succeeded in this trick many times, and almost no one can escape it. It's a pity that he didn't know one thing, that is, Zhang Wuxin once suffered a big loss from a move very similar to this one.
From that day on, Zhang Wuxin was thinking about what to do if he encountered such a trick again while eating and sleeping. How to break through and sweep through thousands of troops?
Zhang Wuxin did not parry or jump up. He rolled on the ground. As his body rolled, the long sword stabbed the leader's legs and feet and even the man's vital parts.
This style of play is definitely not that of a master, more like a rogue. But Zhang Wuxin doesn't care at all. He has merged into one man and sword, and is called Sword Man for short.
The leader hurriedly dodged Zhang Wuxin's counterattack, wearing rough clothes and sweat dripping from his forehead. He suddenly wondered whether he had been deceived by Rouge Leopard.
Is this person really Yu Dayou's defeated general?
