"It seems that some news has been leaked." Jiang Tian suddenly pointed out: "Although there was almost no pause along the way, there are still people watching us secretly. No, I just discovered that, over there I can’t wait to jump out and do something.”
"Don't take it for granted." The brigade commander Lu Zhang, who was leading the team, could not help but change his face slightly and said: "To be honest with the deputy supervisor, I was very careful to keep an eye on the firemen under my command all the way. When I got on and off the bus, I had to count them in sequence to make sure they were safe. , it is absolutely impossible for someone to take the opportunity to leak the news."
"Then the headquarters has leaked the news." Jiang Tian said unmoved: He deliberately asked to bring these laymen with him this time, not only to prevent ambushes and traps in the local area, but also to prevent someone from jumping out and interfering. Bundle. "I thought it was a great achievement, but it's such a shame."
"In this case, sir, please rest assured." Upon hearing this, Brigade Commander Lu Zhang couldn't help flashing a trace of green energy and said resolutely: He seemed to have already received Zheng Jinwu's secret instructions, so he naturally knew the key to this business: "As long as the prince is still alive. As soon as you take a breath, nature will try its best to make sure you are considerate.”
"I'm so thorough that you don't have to worry about it. In a sense, if something happens, I have many more coping methods than you." Jiang Tian laughed when he heard this: "The key now is undoubtedly Don’t let anyone interfere with what you get this time.”
Of course, it was basically impossible for him to expect to use his power to overwhelm others and make them fight for him when he first arrived; but he could also test the strength of the newly established secret censorship department's support for him. In other words, the extent of authorization for this matter.
After all, as initial discovery/temptation has been thrown out. Jiang Tian doesn’t believe that a magical object that can quickly heal wounds and its derivatives cannot help but attract people; in other words, let’s work together to fight for it/
"What the deputy superintendent said is true. However, do you want me to send someone to negotiate first before I can proceed with the follow-up actions in a legitimate manner?" However, after hearing this, Lu Zhang immediately asked for instructions: "After all, this is the capital city, and all parties There is a lot involved; in order to reduce the involvement, actually..."
However, a moment later, the man and horse were seen setting up their formation at the foot of the mountain without hesitation, and forming some kind of faint encirclement and blockade towards the lay disciples of Jinwu in the temple on the mountain. Even the few unity soldiers who came forward to negotiate were seized and tied up on the spot.
"Since the person who came here is not a good person, are the things in your hands just for decoration?" Lu Zhang then shouted without hesitation: "The daily rules of the Jinwu Guard are no longer working; could it be that you only know how to deal with animal disasters?" , but don’t know how to deal with people with ulterior motives?”
Following the stern orders, the still hesitant Jinwu disciples in the temple immediately entered the state of being ordered and prohibited. Immediately they threw down the extra equipment and objects in their hands; they all grabbed swords and guns, set up bows and held crossbows in their hands, and in a blink of an eye, a simple line of defense was formed behind the mountain gate wall.
"Who!" At this time, Jiang Tian suddenly shouted in a deep voice to the back mountain: he stretched out his hand and waved a few points of light, and swept into the dense trees where the Tallin was located. In an instant, like a frightened bird, a figure suddenly jumped out, but he threw the continuous arrows behind him and fled.
Then, like a chain reaction, as the search area expanded, multiple fleeing figures appeared in the forest. Then on the ridge of the back mountain, from the lookout position where Lin Jiulang and his men were guarding, there were also faint sounds of exclamations, curses and shouts, as well as the sounds of chasing and fighting.
"Damn it, I'm afraid this is not a way to attack the east and the west. Please ask the deputy eunuch to retreat into the temple for the time being and wait for help." Lu Zhang couldn't help but look sad when he saw this, and said flatly to Jiang Tian: "I will take the people and go back." The mountains support...those men and utensils."
"Do you still want to divide your troops at this time? Wouldn't it be easier for them to be defeated individually!" However, Jiang Tian's face darkened and he said: "Next, we must act in unison. The back mountain is not as rugged as the road, even if If there are enemies going around, there won't be too many of them. You lead everyone to guard the mountain gate in front of the temple with all your strength to ensure that those things will not fall into the hands of the enemy. As for the matters in the back mountain, leave it to me; at least the killing of enemies. Without you dragging me down, I will be able to handle things more easily."
Lu Zhang was a little angry when he heard this, but he remembered many rumors about the other party, and said helplessly: "Then please take care of yourself, and at least bring a few smart and flexible men with you so that you can contact and send messages at any time." That's right." Jiang Tian nodded: "That's fine."
At this time, the unidentified team at the foot of the mountain was already approaching. I saw that they did not display any flags at all, but everyone was wearing brown leather armor, holding swords and short spears, etc., and they rushed up the mountain stairs in front of the temple in a silent manner.
"Jinwu Guards are on official business here. Anyone who dares to trespass will be killed without mercy!" Following this chorus of shouts, the archers among Jinwu's disciples lined up behind the mountain gate and temple walls successively buckled down the crossbows. With his teeth, he loosened the string of the iron-armed bow, and in an instant, arrows rained down on the opponent's formation.
It's just that King Wu's disciples were careful to hold back in this first round of attacks. Therefore, most of the arrows were shot straight without a head, and the opponent held a five-sided long card and a round shield. Under the condescending impact, the opponent lost his balance and fell to the ground on the stairway.
However, this round of warning attacks did not achieve the desired effect. A moment later, the opponent, who quickly regrouped, quickly responded and suppressed with wooden bows thrown upwards under the cover of more long rows and large shields, causing the casualties of several Kingo disciples immediately.
When things got to this point, Lu Zhang could only glance in the direction of the tower forest behind him; and he shouted through gritted teeth: "Wear all the arrows and long-cone arrows, and prepare to attack with swords..."; at this moment, he only regretted that he was lightly armed. They came forward in a hurry, so they did not bring more arrows or long soldiers.
At the same time, Lin Jiulang and others on the ridge also encountered big troubles and crises. Under the sneak attack of an unknown enemy emerging from behind the mountain, he brought the fire soldiers from Jinwu Street in the east capital. In the blink of an eye, more than half of them were killed or wounded; only he and a few wounded were left to respond to the enemy.
Because the opponent did not take much advantage in the first round of close combat; instead, Lin Jiulang killed one person and stabbed another person to death with his own hands. He did not hesitate to break away from the contact and entanglement, retreated into the cover of mountains and forests, and then turned to use crossbows to sneak attack and intercept them.
Forcing Lin Jiulang and others to cover each other with cards, they stayed in place and hoped for backup. However, before backup arrived in a short period of time, the secretly skilled shooters shot through one after another. Their only regimental cards and bucklers were shot through, and then penetrated the unprotected hands, feet, arms, etc.
In the end, they were forced to walk and block, and finally got trapped in the concave surface of a big tree. At this time, the remaining four people already had several arrows on their bodies, and Lin Jiulang was also hit by a white-feathered arrow on his arm. This was the price of his failed attempt to lead the men to roll out and kill the enemy.
Therefore, even if his arms were covered with blood and he was beginning to faint, he could only cut off the exposed and obstructive parts; he could barely maintain the most basic ability to move. The next moment, he suddenly looked sideways and heard the sound of peeling bark, and a sharp arrow shot out from the tree.
Along with the burning wound on his face, the overflowing feeling of moisture; Lin Jiulang heard a groan again, but another famous soldier couldn't support his body and fell down, his thigh was exposed and received an arrow. The other party is like a seasoned and patient hunter who is good at waiting for the opportunity.
Therefore, playing against him while injured and alone is undoubtedly a huge psychological and physical pressure. Despite this, Lin Jiulang still wanted to fight to the death. At the worst, he would find his opponent and risk his life to get one or two companions to accompany him. The next moment, he slowly said: "Next, you all spread out and take charge. Rush down the mountain, wherever you go, never look back; don’t let me go in vain..."
The next moment, he seemed to hear some kind of faint screams and screams in the wind, as well as the rolling sound of knocking over and breaking vegetation. Then he couldn't help but use the scabbard with his hand, lift up the corner of the cloak and poke out to lure the enemy; then he looked sideways from the other end; suddenly he was surprised to see the howling wind coming towards him.
Then there was another crash, hitting the big tree where they were hiding hard, making an unexplained whine. The next moment, as the stream of blood flowed through his feet, Lin Jiulang leaned out again. He was an archer in a dark green grass-patterned cloak, and he was knocked to death on a tree.
Then, more intense sounds of chasing, running, rolling and sliding, and flying vegetation were heard in the distant mountains and forests. It was as if some invisible giant beast was wreaking havoc among them, disturbing and destroying the trees all over the place, and there were also bloody spots scattered on the ground.
Following Lin Jiulang and others, who were supporting each other, they staggered along and pursued. Suddenly, they saw several scattered corpses; some were in tatters and hung on broken tree branches, and some seemed to have been trampled. It was ravaged, lying sideways among broken branches and leaves, and was no longer human.
Others had their limbs torn apart, stuck upside down in the freshly turned soil in strange and inexplicable postures; there was even a dead man who was leaning against a big tree and looked normal; but the bowstring that he had broken was strangled in his arms. On the neck, his fingers were cut off and his throat was slit, and he died with a large pool of blood spurting out.
The only thing the deceased had in common was that they were all wearing grass-colored blouses or cloaks. At the end of all the traces of devastation, the blood sprayed everywhere seemed to disappear all of a sudden. However, suddenly a voice came from above Lin Jiulang's head and said:
"Lin Jiulang, are you okay? How many people are left?"
Lin Jiulang couldn't help being startled when he heard the sound, and then he looked up with uncontrollable excitement; he saw a neatly dressed Jiang Tian standing on a large branch more than ten feet above the ground, holding two limbs in his hands. The limp and drooping human body was dripping with slightly smelly liquid.
