Mao Shi.
The morning light is like a girl who has just woken up from the bed. She is not energetic enough and her strength is slightly soft. After groping for a long time, she still cannot push away the overlapping clouds.
On the Ninglu Ridge, the sky was naturally still white, without a trace of vitality.
In Ninglu Ridge, in addition to the noisy sounds of fighting, the faint sound of horse hooves can also be heard.
On the condensing terrace, the war situation was tense, and it was not optimistic for Jiang Yichen and his party.
Although Mo Shang stepped back to defend and helped everyone on the outer defense line of the carriage share some of the pressure, the fourth brother and sister of Yuntianguan, who had just been in danger, were also able to fight with injuries, but a flaw in the defense line was like a broken mirror. It cannot be repaired, and the cracks will gradually spread to the entire mirror surface!
The Japanese killer has shown extremely high execution and discipline since the beginning of the ambush. The previous breakthrough was not just a test, but an opportunity created through layers of preparation.
Unable to figure out the strength of Jiang Yichen, Chu Shangu and Mo Shang, they isolated these three uncontrollable factors.
After confirming that the leader of the opponent's defense line was Feipiao, they followed his movements closely and secretly set up a trap.
When the weak points on the defensive end were discovered, all parties coordinated and the Thunder attacked.
Although the situation of breaking the formation to the east of Che Yu was temporarily resolved, enough advantages were gained.
First, the status of the fourth Yuntianguan brothers and sisters was damaged due to injuries. Even if they can still hold on now, they will definitely have a clear flaw in the subsequent long battles.
Secondly, although Mo Shang, one of the uncontrollable factors, stood alone, it was tantamount to tying his own hands and feet, and the danger and unpredictability were greatly reduced.
Thirdly, and most importantly, if Feipiao is caught in a trap and the commander of the entire defense line is strangled to death, it will be difficult to respond to each other and provide timely assistance.
If one raid fails, a second or third raid can be carried out.
The crisis for the four brothers and sisters of Yuntianguan is just the beginning. The last line of defense composed of Ruan Gu, Zifeng, Mu Shang, and Xiao Yan'er on the left and right sides of the carriage is now facing a test.
As both disciples of Long Yao, Ruan Gu and Zifeng are not as dazzling as their senior brothers and sisters.
In terms of understanding, they are far inferior to their senior brothers who have not yet been abolished.
In terms of intelligence and scheming, he is not even up to the eleventh level of his senior brother.
When it comes to taking on responsibilities and bravery, I can't compare with the disdain of my senior sister.
In the Tingyu Pavilion where there are many talented people, the two of them are more like incompetent disciples under a famous teacher. Few people pay attention to them and are not taken seriously.
However, Long Yao only accepted five disciples in his life, and all of them taught them carefully. Until his death, except for the youngest disciple Weiwei, who still retained a bit of childishness, the rest all thought that they could have some ability in the world. Ruan Gu and Zifeng are not just mediocre people in terms of their achievements. They are not famous because of the small, complicated and numerous things they have done.
It's just that they are in the world, no matter how little they look down on fame and fortune, they don't want to be underestimated.
This time they were escorting the Niu family's father and daughter to the south. They knew that the trip would be difficult and dangerous, so they still volunteered to escort them.
Firstly, they hope to help the senior brother, senior sister and Tingyu Pavilion relieve their burden when they are in short supply. Secondly, they also want to prove their worth.
Now that I am in desperate danger, even though my clothes are stained with blood, I am still brave and fearless.
Zifeng was born tall and strong, and he used a pair of strange short daggers as weapons. He dashed left and right like the flying sand Qingna and other spherical thunderbolts on the grass of the Red Sect's Wutang Hall.
Compared to Zifeng, Ruan Gu is much shorter, thinner and more delicate. The double thorns he uses are the same as Nidie. They are light and agile, disturbing the enemy and waiting for opportunities to kill them.
The two brothers, one strong and the other soft, blended in movement and stillness, which actually complemented each other.
Coupled with the mischievous Xiao Yan'er and Mu Shang who could sometimes burst out high-injury sword energy, the four of them fought back and forth with more than a dozen Japanese killers.
However, as the Japanese killers sent more manpower and attacked the defense line with more than 20 people, the pressure on the four people increased sharply.
With a combination of four people, if they can pull the battle line apart, fight and retreat, there will be no danger of fighting until noon.
However, there was a carriage behind them, with no way to retreat, and no more than two feet of room left and right to dodge. If they wanted to hold on to this line of defense, they could not make any more mistakes.
Before setting off, everyone had prepared emergency elixirs donated by the six Yuntian Temple people. Therefore, due to physical problems alone, they could last for another hour at least, and the so-called mistakes naturally meant injuries.
Previously, Ruan Gu and Zifeng respectively guarded the northwest and southwest ends of the carriage. They fought fiercely and had many scars on their bodies. After retreating to the inside line, they quickly realized that if they were not good at defending, if they only defended without attacking, Soon they will be defeated by the Japanese killers' successive attacks.
Using offense as defense can help you defend for a longer period of time.
Using offense as defense is also about seeking victory in danger.
To win in danger means that no more injuries are just a luxury.
They can't help but make mistakes.
锔——!
The sounds of drawing swords roared in my ears.
Zifeng, who had just broken into the enemy group and hit a Japanese killer, pierced the opponent's heart with a dagger and nailed it to the bridge, felt a chill in his heart and felt that something was not good.
But he saw a burst of pink light flashing in front of his eyes at the right moment, and he actually escaped.
Phew!
The blade pierced the air and the arrow tore through the void and penetrated the flesh with a sound.
Zifeng could clearly hear the sound of bones being broken by the blade!
He didn't need to turn his head to look, he also knew that it was his second senior brother who saved him, and because he failed to completely avoid the enemy's thrust in order to save him, he was stabbed in the shoulder!
Hearing another muffled groan, Ruan Gu's skull on his right shoulder was blown away by a knife!
The blood gradually poured out, revealing the dense white bones!
Ruan Gu's face turned pale, and his figure was immediately on the verge of collapse!
Blue veins appeared on Zifeng's broad forehead. He was afraid that the Japanese killer who had pierced Ruan Gu would put away his knife and run away. Before he could gain a firm footing, he rushed to the side and forward, and his strong body directly pressed the sword that had not yet been sheathed. In front of the man, he bit him on the shoulder, and the dagger in his left hand was rapidly moving in and out of the man's belly!
He was not willing to fight, and bit off a bite of the opponent's shoulder flesh. He retracted his right dagger and cut off half of his neck from behind. Then without looking at the opponent, he quickly turned around to take care of Ruan Gu, who was half kneeling on the ground.
No matter how much Yuntian Guan's elixirs saved him, they could not withstand such fatal blows as broken bones and muscles and rapid loss of essence and blood.
Ruan Gu's breathing became more and more rapid, and he almost fainted.
Without Ruan Gu's support, it can be said that the defense line on the west side of the carriage has been completely broken!
Just when Zifeng, Mu Shang, and Xiao Yan'er were all exposed to sharp swords, and their despair was about to spread, the mutation happened again!
A black shadow appeared across the sky like a mountain. One or two Japanese killers' heads were vaguely smashed into flat balls in an instant, and one or two others had their abdomens sunk deep into their bodies or even came out of their bodies, bringing out a piece of shredded internal organs. , and then no more interest!
An enchanting ghostly figure could also be seen shuttled between several Japanese killers, and then the elbows of the Japanese killers holding the swords unnaturally turned outwards, then broke, and were forcibly peeled off from their arms!
Obviously, the sound of horse hooves just now was the sound of Weaver Girl and Cowherd galloping towards them after noticing the sound of fighting ahead.
When the two arrived at the scene, they did not go straight to protect the carriage where Niu Kelian was, but instead saved other people first, which was contrary to their status as villains.
As a villain, you should protect your own interests first. The interests of Niu Kelian and Weaver Girl and Cowherd are related, and at most there is Xiaohua. What does the others have to do with them? Why should they help each other?
This matter seems to be related to Jiang Yichen.
On the evening after leaving Wanfeng Inn, Jiang Yichen deliberately avoided Feipiao and others to meet Weaver Girl and Cowherd in private.
I don't know what method the two of them relied on, but they always fell five miles behind their group. Due to heavy rain, the two of them stopped at the Wanfeng Inn together and stayed behind closed doors to avoid any conflict with Feipiao and others.
Jiang Yichen knew that clarifying some things directly would save time and effort rather than relying on mutual guessing to reach a tacit understanding.
After confirming that the message transmitted by the Daoyi Alliance has been cut off, it is even more important to unite all the forces that can be united.
The purpose of their trip was to safely send the Niu family's father and daughter to the Lingnan Medicine Valley.
The purpose of the Weaver Girl is to cure the Cowherd.
Although Yao Gu may not be able to cure Cowherd's disease, it is at least a possibility and a choice.
It was an easier choice than taking Niu Kelian and Xiaohua abducted back to Youjing in exchange for the medical elixir.
After all, they are now in the Jiangxi border, and the way back is longer and more unstable than the way forward.
Jiang Yichen agreed to help Weaver Girl to ask Yao Gu Yao Lao to treat Cowherd in the name of his old man.
And the condition he put forward was that if they were ambushed and attacked, the lives of these people, no matter who they were, would be saved as much as possible.
If this trip is uneventful, Jiang Yichen will have to find another reason after arriving at Medicine Valley to keep Feipiao and others from attacking Weaver Girl and Cowherd for the time being.
But if something goes wrong, and Weaver Girl and Cowherd can save the lives of some people in their group, they will pay for their lives. Then Feipiao and others will no longer be able to seek revenge on Weaver Girl and Cowherd.
At this time, it can be said that we are all in the same boat.
