The fires burning all over the mountains and plains burned away all the vegetation and trees, exposing the entrances to the caves...
Fang La was sitting in the palace inside the cave, convening the remaining generals to discuss countermeasures. Last time he broke his arm in Hangzhou and forced his way down to the city. He was seriously injured and has not recovered, and his martial arts skills are completely gone.
At this moment, he was not wearing the dragon robe, and his face was ashen and defeated. He looked at the crowd and said, "I have never expected such a defeat since I started my army. The Song army has conquered all dangerous places and besieged Bangyuan. Now it has set fire to the mountain, although it will not burn it." In a dead hole, when will things happen if this continues? Do you have any good ideas to share?"
Everyone below looked at each other, no one had any answer, so Chen Houtong had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, now that the mountain pass has been lost and the Song army is so powerful, it is really difficult for our holy army to resist it. In my opinion, Your Majesty does not need to guard this tiny place and wait for death." , take advantage of the dusk and the Song army's lax defense, seize the opportunity to kill down the mountain, then gather the lost men and horses, quickly go to Xianju, join forces with Lu Shinang, and raise more troops to avenge the shame!"
Fang La felt sad after hearing this, and said with great regret: "If I had believed in Commander Lu's good advice and left Hangzhou to attack Jiangning, how could I have suffered such a disastrous defeat! Thinking of this, I feel regretful, and I have failed Commander Lu's sincerity to help."
After he finished speaking, his eyes shed tears, and he kept shaking his head and sighing.
"Your Majesty, don't be discouraged." Chen Houtong comforted him: "In the past, Liu Bang was defeated by the overlord Xiang Yu. Later, he used Han Xin's ambush strategy to become an emperor in one battle on Jiuli Mountain. Victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists. Your Majesty must not be defeated by victory. To be arrogant, don’t be discouraged by defeat.”
Fang La nodded: "I should bear in mind the lessons learned from this defeat. I will look to the Grand Master to teach me about important things in the future."
Chen Houtong said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. As long as we can break out of the siege, there is hope for a comeback. At this time, the world is in turmoil, and the opportunities are endless. It depends on whether the heroes are aware of it!"
As the discussion ended, the sky turned dark and the fire outside gradually extinguished. Chen Houtong asked Fang Jie and Zhang Hu to open the way in front. Si Xingfang and Li Tianrun protected the two wings. Wang Yin and Luliang were separated from the rear, and his family was separated from Tongshan, Tonggu, and Hong Tianqu, Yao Jinzhou, Fang Fei, and the Chinese army protected Fang La, Shao Yuxian and other civilian officials.
Then he ordered the deployment of suspected troops, a total of six groups, intending to break out of the cave separately.
As the mountain fire outside gradually died down, several cave exits were like tidal waves and landslides, and the company's army led the suspects to kill them out.
Fang Jie held Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand and charged forward to clear a bloody path. Zhang Hu wielded his machete, slashing left and right, like the wind sweeping away fallen leaves, causing the Song army to retreat continuously.
When Fang La broke out of the siege, Wang Huan and Ma Gong were inspecting the cave. They immediately led their troops to intercept, but were killed by Fang Jie and Zhang Hu. Arrows, Fang La's army suddenly suffered numerous casualties. Fang Jie and Zhang Hu relied on their bravery to break out of the siege and went straight to the back mountain pass.
The two men led the rest of the army to run away in a hurry. Suddenly, a Song army rushed down from the right mountain. The leader of the Song army was General Wu with a three-pointed two-edged sword, but it was Wu Jie, the deputy general of Jingyuan Road. They had a melee with each other, and each suffered injuries. Fang Jie , Zhang Hu had no intention of fighting and ran away.
Generals Fang and Zhang fought their way to the back mountain pass. When they raised their heads and looked forward, they couldn't help but shout in their hearts: It's bitter!
I don't know when a stone wall was built at the mountain pass. Song soldiers formed a procession on it. On the left side, a flag was fluttering in the mountain wind. It was vaguely visible that a big word "Tong" was written on the flag. It turned out to be Tong Guan Zao Liao. When they are likely to break through, send troops to block the road.
Zhang Hu was impatient and wanted to break through. Fang Jie said to Fang Jie: "General Fang, you are behind to take care of me. I'll go and test him first!" After that, he turned around to call on the soldiers to rush over, but it didn't matter if he turned back. , but was shocked into a cold sweat.
It turned out that the Chinese army and horses had not rushed over at this moment, and there were only more than a thousand people from the front army following them. They were in the dark. Among the chaotic troops, the two people did not notice this at all. They were suddenly panicked and didn't know what to do.
Fang Jie hesitated and said: "The Chinese army is trapped inside. The Holy Duke, the Queen and the Prince are all here. What's the use of us seizing this pass? Go back quickly to meet the Chinese army's urgent need!" The two men hurriedly moved their horses and wanted to start from the original position. Kill the road back.
When the guard on the stone wall saw that the rebels did not attack the enemy, but instead retreated, he could not help but use strong bows and crossbows. He stood on a high place and fired arrows randomly. Many of the rebels were wounded by arrows, so Fang Jie and Zhang Hu hurriedly retreated.
The two met Wu Jie again on the way, and they had a small battle. Only four or five hundred of their men were left, and they did not dare to run on the main road, so they led the remaining soldiers back through winding paths.
After walking for an unknown distance, I heard faint shouts of killing in front of me. When I turned around a mountain ridge, there were countless Song soldiers in the valley, trapping Fang La and his ministers.
I saw the leader, General Song, jumping on his horse with a sword and gesticulating, and the surrounding people were shouting: "Capture Fang Shisan alive, don't let the thief Chief Fang La escape..."
General Si Xingfang was now baring his back, wielding a long sword and slashing left and right. He was standing in front of him and behind him, but he couldn't protect himself, and he was sweating profusely.
When Fang Jie and Zhang Hu saw this, they did not dare to neglect. The leading soldiers rushed over like a whirlwind, shouting: "Officials and thieves, don't be brave, don't harm my lord!"
The two of them had a square-shaped painted halberd and a machete, and they were going to kill in densely populated areas first. The Song army only focused on capturing Fang La, but did not pay attention to the sneak attack from behind.
Fang Jie and Zhang Hu slashed at each other with halberds and bayonets, causing the enemy's helmets to tilt. They retreated one after another, dodging to open a path.
The second general arrived at the center and saw that Fang La, Shao Yuxian, Prince Fang Shu and others were there. Fang Jie quickly said: "Shenggong, the back mountain pass has been blocked by the Song army's leaders and it is difficult to break through. It is better to gather the troops and break out to the side. .”
When Fang La heard this, he couldn't help but look at Chen Houtong. Chen Houtong sighed and said, "That's it!" Then he ordered the Chinese army to break out to the side.
Fang Jie and Zhang Hu are still clearing the way in front, Tong Shan is on the left, Tong Gu is on the right, Hong Tianqu and Yao Jinzhou are behind, Chen Houtong, Li Tianrun, Si Xingfang, Fang Fei, etc. are all in the middle army, guarding Fang La, Shao Yuxian, Prince Fang Shu and others. Civil servant.
Fang Jie and Zhang Hu cut a bloody path in front, revealing the tight siege. The group of people panicked and ran forward trampling on the blood of the corpses. At this time, the sky was dark and it was difficult to tell the direction of the road in the mountains. The pursuers were far behind. at.
When they reached the side, there was no way for horses to travel. Fang Lajun and his ministers immediately abandoned their mounts and relied on their martial arts skills to walk only along the mountain road. After running for an unknown period of time, they were far away from the place where Bangyuandong Burned Mountain was on fire. The sounds of pursuing troops from behind were already heard. Fades off and doesn’t smell.
At this moment, on the mountain below them, under the faint moonlight, they could only see the ancient pine branches, circling and circling, covering the sky and the earth, and it was very quiet.
Fang La and the other generals suddenly felt tired, and walked into the ancient pine forest. A small temple appeared inside, with three words "Guangsheng Temple" written on the lintel, and a couplet written in cursive on the second door: The rise and fall of a generation depends on the number of Qi, and the Qianqiu. Ancient Yuzhuang Lakes and Mountains.
Entering the mountain gate, walking through the courtyard, you are faced with three small halls. In the middle is a golden body of the Qing Emperor. On both sides, the civil and military ministers have lost their legs and arms, and the color is eroded, making it difficult to recognize.
Chen Houtong said: "Remove the remains of the statue, clean the hall, and let everyone rest together."
After a while, Fang La fell down and fell asleep under the magic table. Prince Fang Shu's eyes were dull, and the second prince Fang Hao was also so hungry that he cried. There was no choice but to take out a few apricot plum fruits to comfort him, and then she also leaned against the pillar. Take a rest.
At this moment, all the generals and soldiers were tired and camped out in front of the mountain gate and in the pine forest.
But before they had slept for an hour, the generals heard the sound of killing in the dim light, the gongs and drums sounded, the lanterns and torches were lit together, and they shouted: "Don't leave the traitor Fang La! We must capture him alive!"
Countless Song soldiers from afar surrounded them at this time. Everyone woke up from their sleep and panicked so much that they all drew their swords to face the enemy.
Wang Yuan, the pioneer officer of the Sixth Route of the Western Army, was the first to attack. He rushed straight to the temple gate with a green dragon sword in his hand. Si Xingfang woke up from his dream. He stretched out his hand in a hurry and couldn't find the weapon. He couldn't help but snatched a steel sword from the soldier's hand and blocked the door to fight. Shouting: "Your Majesty, wake up quickly, the officials and thieves are coming to kill you!"
Wang Yuan swung his sword to kill Si Xingfang. Si Xingfang raised up his might and killed him in just three or five rounds. Wang Yuan kept retreating and did not dare to step forward, so he ordered his troops to go forward and fight Si Xingfang. Si Xingfang seemed like a demon in the world. One man guarded the gate, and ten thousand men could not open it. He swung the steel sword and killed the Song army until corpses piled up at the mountain gate. After a while, the steel sword had been chopped down, but the Western Army of the Song Dynasty also showed its ferocity and still refused to retreat.
Si Xingfang abandoned the missing sword and picked up the corpses of two Song soldiers to resist. The Western soldiers replaced Zhangba spears and stabbed them inside. Si Xingfang was unable to dodge and was hit by more than a dozen bullets. Blood flowed all over his body, but he still clung to the temple. He opened the door and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, leave quickly, you official thief..." Before he could finish his sentence, another shot came back, hitting the front and center, and coming out from the back. He suddenly fell to the ground, blood gushing out.
After a few breaths, the Song army saw that Si Xingfang was indeed dead. Wang Yuan came to see him and sneered: "This thief general is really amazing. He killed nearly a hundred elite soldiers and warriors. Could it be that Fan Kuai of the Han Dynasty was reborn? It's a pity that Mingzhu It’s such a pity to cast it secretly!”
He separated the pile of corpses and entered the mountain gate. When he walked into the temple, he saw that it was empty. It turned out that the temple had a hidden back door that led directly to the outside. It was so dark that it was difficult to detect that Fang La had escaped from the back.
When Wang Yuan saw this, he was furious and came out of the temple. He ordered Sixingfang's body to be hung on the flagpole in front of the temple, and a fire was set to burn the Guangsheng Temple to ashes.
Fang La led the remnants of his troops and ran hastily for a while, but they didn't know where they were when they saw another army blocking the way ahead. The leading Song generals shouted together: "Is the rebel Fang La still in the team? Leave the rebel Fang La alone, and leave the rest alone. You escape!"
Fang La didn't know who was coming, so he heard Li Tianrun scolding from the side: "You lackeys of Zhao and Song Dynasty, even if you are cut into pieces by a thousand swords, I won't hate you."
After saying this, he immediately stepped forward to fight with Fang Jie, Zhang Hu, Tong Shan, and Tong Gu, and a melee broke out between the two armies.
Fang Jie only took five or six rounds before he stabbed the Song general in front with a halberd, bringing out a ball of flesh and blood flowing down.
"It hurts me to death!" The Song general yelled and ran away. Fang Jie caught up with him and wanted to assassinate him, but Song Jun desperately saved him.
At this moment, another person came up and shouted: "Rebels, don't leave, Jingyuan Road Zhong Yanchong is here!"
Fang Jie didn't say anything, and the two of them were fighting together. They were so mad that they couldn't tell who was who.
Chen Houtong, who was in the team, whispered: "Holy Lord, hurry up and get on your way!"
Fang La nodded, and took advantage of the chaos and the cover of soldiers to hit the road again. He didn't dare to take the right path, and just went into the woods in the dark.
After walking for a while, only Tongshan followed. Fang La asked about the number of people accompanying him, and Chen Houtong replied: "It is said that there are only about 500 people, and there are many lottery numbers. Fang Jie, Li Tianrun and others have no idea where they are." place."
After hearing this, Fang La sighed: "Two hundred thousand troops were lost overnight, how could they be defeated so quickly! Maybe the remaining soldiers will leave again? Why not find a place to rest for a while."
Chen Houtong knew that he was injured, had lost a lot of his martial arts skills, and could not bear the fatigue, but he shook his head and said: "Although the soldiers are tired, it is already midnight. If we stay here until dawn, we will be captured by the Song soldiers. It is better to wait two days." We'll hide on a mountaintop for the night, looking for something to eat, and then we can continue to evacuate tomorrow night."
Fang La said helplessly: "It's up to the Grand Master to make the decision. I'm just a little hungry and tired."
Chen Houtong didn't know how to answer, so he just continued to direct the road. At this time, the emperor and his ministers did not even dare to walk on the wild trails in the mountains. They just picked up the places where there were no roads, climbed over the mountains and ridges, and walked into the distance through the pine trees.
The mountains around Yuandong are very wide, divided into six, seven and eight capitals. Each capital is a valley, three to forty miles long.
The king and his ministers climbed over two mountains and arrived at Liudu. According to their memory, they went straight to the Yanjia River at the foot of the mountain. It was pitch dark and they couldn't tell the direction at all. They just walked by feeling and touched the beach of the stream before they could vaguely see it. There was actually a camp ahead.
The sound of their "rustling" footsteps now alerted the camp sentry, and immediately a soldier shouted: "Who... No, there are thieves robbing the camp!"
Then the gongs were sifted "dang dang dang", and it turned out that this camp was actually a temporary camp that could be saved. He secretly received orders from Zhao Tao and did not send all the troops to participate in the siege of the cave. Instead, half of the troops were left to wait on the outside. At this moment When the generals heard the sound, they all rose up and came out of the tent with long spears and big bows in their hands. The soldiers from all departments mobilized together and chased towards the place where the noise was heard.
Fang La Jun and his ministers were so frightened that they realized that they were on the wrong track and had to fight and retreat. They were as frightened as a frightened bird and as busy as a fish that slipped through the net.
However, it was dark at least, and Fang La was not wearing a dragon robe. The generals did not recognize Fang La's identity, so they simply routed the bandit army and chased him for a while. Seeing the dangerous mountains and dangerous terrain, they could not know the way and were afraid of an ambush, so they withdrew back.
After this pursuit, there were only about a hundred people left by Fang La and his ministers. The rest were either separated in the dark night or hacked to death by the Song army. As for the civil servants they brought with them, they didn't know where they were lost.
After suffering a setback and gaining wisdom, Fang La and others did not even dare to walk on the Cricket Mountain this time. They just bit the bullet and ran into the thorn bushes deep in the forest.
After burrowing among the thorns for half an hour, Fang La sighed and asked, "Grand Master, where are we?"
Chen Houtong identified it and replied: "It is near the source of Qidu, and it is only five or sixty miles away from Badu Chushan."
After hearing this, Fang La suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, okay, it's God's blessing. I have a hiding place this time."
Everyone was surprised and happy when they heard this, and all said together: "What good place does your Majesty have? Let's go and hide for a while."
Fang La said: "There is a dangerous place not far from here. There is a cave half way up a deep stream in the dense forest. Jackals, tigers and leopards often live in it. It has always been inaccessible. When I went into the mountains to hunt big insects, I rested in the cave. No one dares to go there, and it’s quite secretive, so it’s a good place to hide.”
After hearing this, everyone was overjoyed and said together: "Your Majesty is blessed with great blessings. He has the protection of gods and men, who can turn evil into good fortune. Hurry up and take a rest there."
Fang La looked at the mountain carefully, then thought about it, pointed to the distance and said to Chen Houtong: "The grotto is on the mountain opposite. Be careful when entering, so as not to get hurt by wolves, insects, tigers and leopards."
Chen Houtong said: "That's natural. There are fierce beasts. Capture and kill them and cook them to satisfy your hunger."
The group of people followed Fang La to the opposite mountain. It was a very dangerous mountain to look at. The top could not be seen when looking up, and the clouds were halfway up. It would be difficult to reach the sky if one wanted to climb to the top.
The monarch and his ministers supported each other, climbed up first by pulling on the vines and geese, and then went down along the cracks in the cliff. When they looked at the bottom, there was indeed a grotto.
The grotto is covered with green trees, with white mist on the left and right, a strange pine growing on the steep wall covering the entrance of the cave, wisteria coiled on both sides, and luxuriant mountain peach and apricot branches. It is like a natural fairy cave. Everyone said in unison: " A great place, really a great place!”
When he was about to go in, Fang La waved his hand: "Wait a minute, this is where jackals, tigers and leopards live. How can we get in easily? We have to drive the beasts out first!"
Tongshan picked up a stone and threw it into the grotto with a bang. A few wild birds flew out from it, and a group of turtle doves flew out. Then, a wolf howled and jumped out of the cave. A dozen evil wolves appeared, with pairs of green eyes flashing, looking at the guns and knives in everyone's hands, howling for a while, and then ran away to other places on the cliff.
Fang La asked people to continue testing inward, but only heard silence and no movement, and then entered the cave with difficulty.
But they saw that there was a cave inside, the coolness hit the skin, and there was dripping spring water above, and everyone immediately had a full meal.
"The wild wolf was hard to beat just now. Whoever still has food on him can take it out and share it." Fang La said with a frown.
When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other and didn't say anything for a long time. After fighting for several days, Bang Yuan's food and grass were exhausted. Even if there were some who had dry food with them when they broke out, they would have eaten it on the way.
"Alas!" Fang La let out a long sigh and sat on the stone, his eyes a little dazed, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
As the east turned white, it was gradually covered with a thin layer of transparent red gauze. Some people took out some wild bird eggs from the cracks in the rocks, and some picked wild apricots without hard cores. Only then did more than a hundred monarchs and ministers wrap themselves up in the white veil. The abdomen adds a lot of spirit.
Afterwards, they drank a lot of spring water, and then they all lay down on the ground to rest. The fatigue all over their bodies and the mental fatigue made them fall asleep in a short time...
The Sixth Route Army of the Western Army and Zhao Kai's Third Route Army had long occupied Bangyuan Cave and killed countless rebels. Tong Guan ordered a search for Fang La's monarch and ministers, but found nothing. Only then did news spread that Fang La and his men were mixed in. The rebel army ran towards the southwest mountains.
Tong Guan then issued an order to block the various passes at the caves and not let anyone go. He searched from Bangyuan to the southwest, and there were Song troops searching the mountains everywhere.
But it was said that Han Shizhong, the commander of Wang Yuan's tent, who was the vanguard of the Sixth Route of the Western Army, took advantage of his courage and asked for orders to lead two thousand strong soldiers to search the mountains in the distance. He searched here and there, but he could not see the shadow of Fang La's monarch and his ministers. His head was as big as a bucket. At this time, a junior high school student came over and offered advice: "The general is searching the mountains like this. It may be difficult to find Fangla. My subordinates thought that Fangla would not be hidden in ordinary valleys. It must be in an inaccessible place where wild beasts roam."
When Han Shizhong heard this, he thought it made sense. After thinking for a while, he opened a path with a big knife in his hand and went to search the deep valley.
He didn't know how far he had gone, but when he entered a jungle and saw an Orion house in the mountains ahead, Han Shizhong asked someone to knock on the door and ask.
The door opened, and a woman's head popped out. She was disheveled and unkempt, wearing a coarse cloth dress with patches, a pair of Mongolian cloth shoes with a catfish mouth open, and a hemp rope tied around her waist.
Seeing that they were wearing military uniforms, the woman was a little scared. She took a step back and said blankly, "Who are you looking for?"
Without further ado, Han Shizhong took out a piece of silver from his body and said, "Let me ask you, do you know of any wild and dangerous places in this mountain?"
The woman took the silver and said hesitantly: "There are not many dangerous places... Three miles away from here to the west, there is a valley where tigers and leopards are infested, hungry wolves are swarming, and poisonous snakes block the road and hurt people. No one has ever dared to go there. You have to go straight from here, over the ridge and down."
Han Shizhong was overjoyed after hearing this, and just as he was about to lead the men away, the colonel whispered: "General, do you want..." After saying that, he turned around and made a killing gesture.
Han Shizhong glanced at the woman, shook his head, and then led his soldiers to climb up the ridge in the distance. Not long after going down, they arrived at the valley. Looking down from the top, it looked sinister:
It's dark and deep in the middle of winter, with no bottom visible, and dense bamboo forests blowing out smoke.
The howling of wolves and tigers echoed across the mountains, and the hawks and eagles circled in the mist.
He took a breath and did not dare to urge the troops to advance quickly, but even if he was careful, some people were still bitten by venomous snakes and died within a moment, and there were also jackals, tigers and leopards peeping at the roadside.
At this time, a soldier said: "General, I don't need to go to this valley. There are so many venomous snakes and beasts in the mountains here, and there are even more in the valley. Even if Fang La is hiding here, he has already been buried in the belly of the beast. Why would the general risk it?" This danger?"
Han Shizhong sneered when he heard this: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch the tiger's cubs? If you don't go down to the East China Sea, how can you catch the dragon? What do you know? I have long seen that the poisonous insects and beasts on this mountain range are all driven out of the valley. Above the outside, there must be thieves lurking inside!"
He held the knife in front, pulled the weeds and vines down first, and ordered the soldiers to hold crossbows to cover the rear. He saw that the jungle in the valley blocked the sky, the wormwood was no one's head, and the rotten branches and leaves were deep and thick, spreading out everywhere. There is a strong smell of wet musty. When wild birds see someone coming, they chirp and chirp. They fly up in a black mass, hovering above their heads. Walking on the fallen leaves, they can only hear the sound of "swish", although On the opposite side, it was hard to see anyone.
Not far away, you can see half of the wall. The bottom is covered with pines, firs, bamboos, wild lacquered camellias, and mixed in. At the end is a small piece of wormwood grassland, which is covered by something, and then half of the cave entrance of Heidongdong is exposed. .
Han Shizhong showed a smile on his face and said in a low voice: "The cave is full of people, not animals. Lord Fang La and his ministers must be hiding inside. We are waiting for the officials to arrive. If we catch Fang La, the court will give us a reward of silver." There are benefits to all, and you must move forward bravely and not retreat in order to achieve this great achievement."
All the soldiers agreed. Han Shizhong and the soldiers slowly slid down the stone wall, and then carefully gathered inside. Seeing that the people were about the same, he sent ten soldiers ahead to test.
The ten pawns each covered their bodies with shields and crept toward the cave with fear and fear. However, after a while, screams were heard from inside.
Then he saw a dozen bloody heads being thrown out like rubber balls. Han Shizhong said angrily: "Arrows and crossbows are opening the way. I want to see what kind of thieves are so powerful?"
After saying this, he held the sword in his right hand and the shield in his left hand, and personally escorted the soldiers inward.
The light inside the cave was dim, and the walls in the depths were filled with strange wolf-toothed rocks, and a winding passageway.
The soldier used a shield to protect his chest and walked inside. Suddenly, in the darkness in front of the cave wall, someone stretched out a hook to catch the soldier and pulled him up in the air. Then someone used a steel knife to lightly hit his neck, and his bloody head was cut off. He took it down, held it in his hand, and threw it out.
Han Shizhong snorted coldly, commanded a volley of bows and crossbows, and screamed in agony. Apparently, he killed many thieves in the dark. At this moment, a tall man wearing ocher clothes, a red face and a short beard, holding a long knife in his hand, rushed towards Come over and chop the brains out.
Han Shizhong raised his knife and came to fight. Who knew that this man was very clever with his fists and kicks. He used the knife from above and his legs from below. He flew into the air and kicked again. Han Shizhong didn't want to fight anymore. He stepped back and yelled: "Who is coming?"
"Guan Guan, do you recognize Tongshan? I want you to have a try!" The man said and rushed forward again. Han Shizhong roared angrily, flew up with his right foot, and kicked Tongshan's wrist, and the long knife immediately flew out of his hand.
At this moment, Han Shizhong's arm stopped, and the weapon in his hand flew out, hitting Tongshan's chest. He heard a "Ah!" sound, and the man fell to the dust. The soldiers behind him immediately went up and hacked him to death.
At this time, there were not many people blocking the road ahead, and they were still fighting and running. Han Shizhong commanded the soldiers to chase them forward, and hacked them all to death in a moment.
At this time, he thought about it and shouted inward: "The rebel Fang La, there is nothing you can do at this place, why not surrender and save your life?"
No one inside agreed. Han Shizhong frowned and was about to let his men continue to move forward when he heard someone shout: "Zhao Song dog slave, watch me kill you!"
Hearing a "Woo" sound, a stone flew out of the hole. Han Shizhong hurriedly tilted his head to avoid it, but even though he had extraordinary martial arts skills and quick reaction, he was still hit next to the helmet. His head suddenly buzzed and his temples were rubbed. Bleeding comes.
A person followed out of the cave, but he was dressed in cloth. He was about fifty years old, with an ordinary appearance like a farmer. He was holding a light gray single sword in his hand.
Han Shizhong himself is good at boxing and kicking. He is young and strong now. Not only can he lift a cauldron with a flick of his arms, but he is not inferior to those first-class martial arts.
But since he is called Po Han Wu, he is not the kind of pedantic person who doesn't know how to adapt and only knows how to confront the enemy openly. Seeing that the ordinary-looking thief in front of him could hurt him just now with a flying stone, and he dared to stop the enemy alone, he couldn't help but step back. Withdrew.
The man in front of him was none other than Chen Houtong. Now the soldiers who came along the way were either killed in battle or separated. Fang La brought him here again and only said it was safe. He didn't expect to be found by the Song army. Even though he was the master, It also means that the sky will not respond and the earth will not respond, so we have to come out to meet the enemy.
Han Shizhong led two thousand vanguard soldiers. Even if Chen Guotong could not be defeated outside, he would still have a chance to escape. But when Fang La led him to this place, there were two exits. The cave walls were not high, and it took a lot of effort to move left and right. He could use his martial arts. Half of them are lucky.
Han Shizhong stared closely at Chen Houtong, waved his hand and made a charging gesture, and the soldiers behind him used their momentum to rush forward. Chen Houtong's knife protected him in front of him, clinging to the wall like a shadow, intending to carve out a bloody path from the army. Rush out.
Unexpectedly, Han Shizhong was simply lying to him. His men were already familiar with these fake and real actions. They pretended to rush forward, but suddenly they all dwarfed, and the soldiers behind them fired crossbows.
As long as the arrow string is preloaded, this hand crossbow can be fired almost instantly. It does not have to bend and shoot like a bow, and it is not comparable to the speed of ordinary hidden weapons in the green forest.
Only a few rays of cold light were seen, making bright silver sounds in the cave, making random "chichi" sounds, and shooting forward.
The arrows of the hand crossbow are short and fast, and the width of the cave is limited. If it is outside, no matter how sharp the weapon is, Chen Houtong can easily dodge, but inside the cave, he can only block it with his sword.
He had fallen into Han Shizhong's false attack plan, but he was a master after all. Although he couldn't move, he actually knocked down all the crossbow arrows with just the gray knife in his hand.
Han Shizhong was stunned, knowing that he had met an expert, but half of the two thousand vanguard troops he led were equipped with hand crossbows. After firing one round, he lowered his body to load arrows, and the rest immediately continued.
Chen Houtong danced his sword in the wind and snow as he rushed forward. He knew in his heart that if he stayed still, he would be shot to death sooner or later. He could only have a chance to escape by rushing into the Song army.
But the crossbow arrows were too dense. Each vanguard had at least three of these crossbow arrows. These three arrows were enough to fire dozens of rounds. In this small cave, they were simply not humanly capable of stopping them.
Seeing the fifth and sixth rounds of crossbow arrows being released, Chen Gutong's sword was like thunder and wind, swinging it without leakage. Han Shizhong was a little angry and refused to retreat. He just ordered to speed up the crossbow shooting. ejaculate.
This was like a storm. Even if Chen Hootong was a master, he couldn't withstand such intensive shooting. What's more, the crossbow arrows are powerful. If you want to hit them all, you don't just need quick eyes and quick hands, and you also need to use the sound discriminator. Try your best.
