The rain of arrows only lasted three rounds and then stopped. The ground upstairs was still filled with more than 500 arrows, and their tail feathers were still bouncing.
All the people upstairs were skilled in martial arts. Although there were many arrows, they could not be harmed at all. They scolded Runke: "Who is so domineering, who just draws the bow and shoots without caring about the situation?" He shook his two sticks, Just like jumping downstairs to argue, Li Guiren grabbed his hand and pulled him back, angrily said to Runke: "Li, what are you doing to me?" Li Guiren glared at him and asked Runke Ke Dan felt a tightening on his wrist, and his whole body went limp. Seeing that he couldn't break free, although he was furious in his heart, he did not dare to speak anymore.
Dugu Xiang saw that the expressions of Li Guiren and the other four people suddenly became serious. The cooks who had previously besieged Runke all ducked behind the pillars in the window and looked down with very nervous expressions.
When Dugu Xiang saw this, he thought: There is something going on here. Only Xiang Runke and I were kept in the dark. At this moment, everyone was paying attention to the street. Duguxiang could have taken this opportunity to slip away, but her curiosity was completely piqued, and she didn't want to leave, so she decided to stay and see what happened.
Dugu Xiang also quietly slipped behind a window facing the street and peeked down. He saw about two to three hundred soldiers on the street. Among them, the infantry were arrayed in two formations on the left and right along the street, and half of the infantry drew their bows. Facing the upper floor, half of the infantrymen were on guard with horizontal knives.
There were dozens of cavalrymen in the middle of the road, guarding the two generals on horseback. That general must be the so-called
"An Jun Envoy", although this An Jun Envoy also looks like a barbarian, he is definitely not An Lushan. Although Duguxiang has never met An Lushan in person, she has seen An Lushan disguised by Shi Siming. , Shi Siming must have dressed up according to An Lushan's figure and appearance. The An Jun envoy in front of him has a medium and slightly plump figure, and his waistline is only half of the An Lushan played by Shi Siming, and he has a red face and a dark beard. His demeanor was calm and there was no murderous or murderous air.
The deputy general is very different from the main general. Although he is about the same age, he is tall and burly, with deep eyebrows and wide eyes, a straight nose and a wide mouth. He looks like a Turk. Compared with the middle-aged appearance of the main general An Junshi, he looks quite handsome. To be suave and romantic.
The lieutenant held a long spear in his hand and rode forward. He pointed the tip of the spear at Ah Qi who was in the middle of the street and said: "You are a Dangxiang Qiang. If you don't stay well in Qingzhou, what do you want to do when you go to the border of Lingzhou?" Dugu Xiang Only then did he notice that the scarf on Ah Qi's head fell off, revealing two patches of hair on the forehead, but the back of the head was completely shaved off. This type of hair style was different from that of the Khitan people. It turned out that these cooks were all Dangxiang Qiang people. No wonder the clothes and colors look different from those of the Han people.
Ah Qi covered his body with the copper wok like a shield and did not answer. The lieutenant general said angrily: "You are looking for death!" As he spoke, he clamped his spear, turned his horse's head and trotted back for a while. The ancestors of the Dugu family also came from the military. Dugu Xiang heard his grandfather say that cavalry requires a certain distance to attack, so that The deputy general retreats instead of advancing.
After widening the distance, it was natural to attack. Ah Qi also knew how powerful it was. His muscles were all tense, just waiting for the deputy general to rush over.
The lieutenant-general spurred his horse and ran fifty paces, then turned around and shouted. The horse immediately raised its hooves and galloped hard. Once the horse started galloping, fifty paces were reached in an instant. The lieutenant-general stabbed the bronze wok with a long spear. , he saw that the Xiang Qiang man was actually using a wok to protect his body, he laughed in his heart, poured all his strength into his arm, and planned to pierce the copper wok with one shot.
Seeing the spear tip piercing the copper wok, Ah Qi suddenly tilted the copper wok in his hand. The deputy general's spear point grazed the arc bottom of the copper wok, and a stream of sparks were wiped out on the bottom of the wok, leaving behind A deep scratch did not pierce the copper wok after all, but slipped through.
The deputy general stabbed the air with his spear, and the galloping horse could not stop, and ran forward for dozens of steps before turning around again. He laughed loudly and said: "The vertical shield is really good." He had already seen that this party of Xiang Qiang people Holding a copper wok is just a cover, his true identity should be a shield bearer.
Seeing the deputy general charging at him again, Ah Qi became nervous again. The key to using a round shield to resist the spear was to suddenly deflect the shield at the moment before being stabbed, so that the tip of the spear had no impact.
The timing of this method is of the utmost importance. It cannot be done one minute earlier or one minute later. Ah Qi held the copper wok in both hands, concentrating on it. In the blink of an eye, the deputy general rushed in front of him again. However, this time he suddenly leaned down on his horse and thrust his spear straight into the sand in front of the copper wok. Ah Qi was stunned and didn't know what to do. Suddenly, he saw smoke and dust rising up in front of his eyes. It turned out to be the deputy general's spear grazing the ground as he advanced, but the dust also hid the tip of the spear. He could only stab Ah Qi's feet, but he couldn't see where he was going.
Ah Qi hurriedly knocked the copper wok down to the ground and jumped into the wok. This skillfully avoided the spear piercing his feet. The deputy general seemed to have expected that he would react this way. With a shout, the spear suddenly lifted up, lifting the copper wok and Ah Qi inside it six feet high!
Looking at his skills, it was clear that this deputy general was not a martial artist, but he was born with supernatural powers and had amazing physical strength. He was able to lift Ah Qi up with the big iron wok attached to him.
Ah Qi flew into the air and fell again. The lieutenant raised the gun and stabbed it out from the bottom up again. Ah Qi suddenly kicked the copper wok with both legs. The copper wok immediately hit the lieutenant. At the same time, Ah Qi used the The force of this kick sent it flying backwards.
Unexpectedly, the lieutenant's horse was very impressive, and his horse-control skills were also very good. The horse actually flicked its four hooves at the same time, jumped to the left to avoid it, and the copper wok flew away and hit the ground with a loud noise. The lieutenant picked up the reins of his horse, took a step forward, pointed out the direction of Ah Qi's whereabouts, and pointed the tip of his spear upward, just waiting for Ah Qi to hit the tip of the spear.
Ah Qi was in mid-air, with nothing to rely on at this moment. Just when he was about to be pierced by the spear in the deputy general's hand, a white line suddenly flew out from the second floor and was wrapped around his waist. Ah Qi suddenly Feeling like clouds and mist, he was pulled back upstairs. It turned out that Dugu Xiang had lifted him up using Yue Ying Su Han Liu's skill.
Dugu Xiang couldn't bear to watch Ah Qi being stabbed to death. She thought that she was being held hostage by Li Guiren. If she rescued Ah Qi, maybe these Party Qiang people could help her escape, so she took action. Pulled Ah Qi back.
Ah Qi was saved from death. He sat on the ground and gasped. General Na Cai stepped forward and crossed his hands to Dugu Xiang: "Thank you for saving me, little lady. I, Tuoba Chaoguang, owe you a favor." Dugu Xiang Just know
"General Cai" is also a pseudonym. This person's surname is actually
"Tuoba", she didn't know that the Tuoba clan was the most powerful among the eight surnames of the Xiangqiang clan. She crossed her hands and bowed back: "General Cai, you're welcome. Brother Seven is right in front of me. The height and position are perfect. It would be outrageous not to save him, but to save him." Tuoba Chaoguang had already reported his real name to Dugu Xiang, but Dugu Xiang still regarded him as
"General Cai" called him, and then called Ah Qi.
"Seventh Brother" actually made Chaoguang feel very kind and fond of this little girl. At this time, the deputy general on the street had reined in his horse, pointed his gun at Tuoba Chaoguang, and said, "Are you from Tuoba's family? Who is Mr. Xiping?" Tuoba crossed his hands and said to Chaoguang, "I don't dare. To conceal the truth, Tuoba Shouji is my father." The lieutenant general laughed loudly and said: "Prince Tuoba, you are so brave, you actually pretended to be a cook in Lingzhou, what do you want?" Tuoba Chao Guangcha said with his hand: "Geshu Military Envoy, the saint settled the Dangxiang people in Jingbianzhou, Qingzhou. He made my father the governor of the right prison gate and made Xi Pinggong. He didn't say that the Dangxiang people can only stay in Qingzhou." When Shu Jun heard this, he laughed again and said: "The Dangxiang people were originally in Longyou and were vassals of Tuyuhun, and Tuyuhun surrendered to Tubo. The saint used troops against Tubo for many years. Why did the Dangxiang people move their entire family to Qingzhou? It was for What, do you really don’t understand, or are you pretending to be confused?” What he said meant that the Dangxiang Qiang people had a disloyal heart. Tuoba Chaoguang couldn’t help but change his face and said: “Brother Shuhan! Don’t say this nonsense. , Dangxiang people have been loyal to the Tang Dynasty for three generations since their ancestor Tuoba Chici. How dare you accuse my grandpa of being disloyal?" Ge Shuhan sneered and said: "The boy is very sharp-tongued, but I am too lazy. Talking to you, I will arrest you and others first, and then I will go to your grandpa to settle the account later." After hearing this, all the cooks couldn't help but clenched their hands.
"Weapon", they only waited for Ge Shuhan to give the order to take action, and they were able to defeat them with all their might. Duguxiang thought to himself: How can General Geshu be so domineering?
On the contrary, I have a good impression of Dangxiang people. At this time, the commander-in-chief, An Junshi, finally couldn't hold himself back and said to Ge Shuhan: "Deputy Commander Ge Shu, you have gone too far. The saint did not order the party members not to leave Qingzhou. You said that they wanted to rebel, but it was empty talk. There is no basis for it." An Jun envoy specially added when calling Ge Shuhan
"Deputy" military envoy. Ge Shuhan frowned and said: "An Sishun, do you still have the heart to excuse others? Think about yourself first. Don't think that because the prince recommended you to be the military envoy of the Great Dou Army, I am afraid of you. That brother of yours, An Lushan, I have been disobedient for a long time and everyone knows it. Is it just empty talk?" After hearing these remarks, An Sishun suddenly turned red and said: "He is him and I am me. I have sent messages many times. Give it to him, ask him to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and don't think of anything else. If he really dares to rebel, I will be the first to send troops to destroy him. Even if I am shattered to pieces, I will not let him harm the world!" Dugu Xiang was shocked after hearing this. this
"An Jun Envoy" An Sishun is An Lushan's clan brother. How can there be such a coincidence in the world? Could it be that Liu Yao gathered here because of him?
Dugu Xiang, who was reading, glanced at Li Zhuer secretly. Li Zhuer and others were still hiding in the shadows. Li Zhuer saw Dugu Xiang looking at her and quietly nodded to her. It turned out that what they just said was
"An Junshi" refers to An Sishun, not An Lushan. Just when Dugu Xiang was still thinking wildly, he heard Ge Shuhan say: "Huh, who can't speak bold words? I'm afraid that it won't be about annihilation, but cooperation inside and outside." An Sishun was so angry that he was shaking all over and said: "You , you, you...hey..." He stamped his feet on his horse and said: "You may not believe me, but now I am still the military envoy of the Great Dou Army, and you are still the deputy military envoy, so I will not allow you to bite like a mad dog. "Ge Shuhan glanced sideways at An Sishun, turned his head, raised his right hand and said: "The archer draws the bow!" The infantry immediately raised their long bows and pointed them at the people on the top of the city.
An Sishun said angrily: "Put down your bows and arrows!" Only less than 30% of the soldiers put down their bows and arrows.
An Sishun became more and more furious and said, "I told you to put down your bows. How dare you disobey the commander's order?" Immediately, many people put down their bows and arrows, but there were still 30 to 40% of the soldiers, who only listened to Brother Shu Han was still pointing his arrows at the eight Qiang people upstairs.
Dugu Xiang said anxiously: "Brother Tuoba, since you have no evil intentions, just tell the two military envoys why you are here? Why do you need to fight against each other? They are so numerous that they start to fight. You can’t take advantage.”
