"Brothers, if you work harder, you can see the Baozigou beacon when you climb over this beam. Our mission is considered completed."
"Try harder, watch your feet, don't fall!"
The sky was dimming, and the grain truck team was walking on a difficult uphill road, but everyone's faces were filled with excitement and relief, and Gu Sinian was cheering everyone up.
As long as they arrive at Fengsui and deliver the food, they will be truly safe.
"Damn, it's finally here, phew~"
"Yo ho!"
Everyone climbed to the top of the slope in twos and threes, stopped the grain truck and wanted to take a good rest, but the moment they saw the Baozigou beacon clearly, everyone's expressions changed.
There is a ring-shaped building several feet high at the entrance of the mountain pass. It is the so-called Baozigou beacon, one of the strongholds of Changziying outside Youtun City.
When I left the city, I got news that there were about thirty battalion soldiers in Fengsui, and the food they transported was enough to feed these people for a month.
But at this moment, a large number of Yan soldiers were gathering outside the beacon fire, completely surrounding the Baozigou beacon fire. These Yan soldiers were desperately attacking inward, and the miserable wailing sound drifted into everyone's ears along the breeze.
"kill!"
"Dang Dang Dang!"
"Pffffffffffff~"
"Ahh~"
It was obvious that Feng Sui had been attacked and was about to fall.
Everyone's expressions suddenly became confused, helpless and frightened. They had spent so much effort transporting the food, but what they saw was this scene.
Perhaps the dozens of people standing on the hillside were too conspicuous. The Yan army besieging Fengsui immediately noticed them, and soon some cavalry separated from the crowd and ran toward them.
"Grass!"
Gu Sinian was the first to come to his senses, jumped to his feet and cursed:
"Run, what are you doing standing still!"
"run?"
Everyone looked at the grain truck in bewilderment: "What should we do with the grain?"
"You're going to die, why do you care about food?"
Gu Sinian was so angry that he yelled:
"Get away from me and run as fast as you can!"
…
More than 20 people ran wildly on the yellow land, their desire to survive completely forgetting their fatigue.
Several Yan Army rangers were chasing after them, and the sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer.
The civilian husband who was at the end of the team had a look of panic on his face, and his legs began to move continuously. He could even clearly see Yan Bing swinging his sword.
"Pfft~"
The knife penetrated the back, blood splattered everywhere, and the figure fell down.
"Oh~"
"Yo yo yo~"
Even though Yan Qi only had four or five people, they were quite confident in dealing with dozens or twenty civilians. In the eyes of these Yanqi, Liang Junxiang Yong, who faced the enemy with his back, was not worthy of their serious treatment.
"Oh shit!"
Gu Sinian shouted coldly:
"We can't run away, Old Zeng and Old Wu, let's stay and stop him!"
Gu Sinian knew very well that in this kind of plain and hilly terrain, if you didn't run away at the beginning, you would have no chance to escape, unless someone stayed to break up the rear.
"good!"
Zeng Lingchuan and the other two turned around without hesitation and roared:
"Fight with Yan Thief!"
Seven or eight people, including Gu Sinian, stopped their escape and stood together back to back, holding on to their weapons tightly.
Those who dared to stay with them were already brave, while the other timid ones had long been frightened out of their wits and just ran for their lives.
Gu Sinian couldn't save these people, he could only buy them some time.
"drive!"
"Da da da~"
Seeing Yan Qi getting closer and closer, Gu Sinian winked directly at Zeng Lingchuan, then suddenly swung the simple knife in his hand and slashed at Yan Bing's chest.
Although Yan Bing was sitting high on the horse, Gu Sinian was not short, and with the long handle of the Pu Dao, the blade could really pose a threat to Yan Bing.
Zeng Lingchuan was not idle either. He swung his sword with understanding and attacked the lower three routes, first chopping off the horse's hooves.
The two blows made Yan Bing tremble with fear. He hurriedly tightened the reins and wanted to stop quickly:
"Hissssss~"
The war horse's reaction was not that fast. After a roar, it leapt up with its front hooves and was knocked to the ground by Yan Qi.
Wu Xiang, who had been waiting for a long time, strode forward, fell from the sky, and chopped Yan Bing's chest with a knife:
"Pfft~"
The tacit cooperation allowed the three of them to kill a Yanqi at the beginning, which was a good start.
But the crisis had just begun. Yan Qi cleverly split into two, one part went after the fleeing civilians, and a few remained to deal with Gu Sinian and the others, obviously with the intention of killing them all.
"Oh shit!"
Seeing that the interception failed, Gu Sinian was filled with anxiety, but he could not take care of the escaped civilians.
"drive!"
The three Yan soldiers were very experienced. They held scimitars in their hands, rushed forward side by side, and rushed towards the crowd.
Even though there were only three horses, it was already very intimidating to Gu Sinian and the others who were fighting on foot.
"careful!"
"boom!"
"Pffffffffffff~"
On the spot, two brothers were hit by the war horses and fell to the ground, vomiting blood. The fierce Yan Bing did not even forget to bend down and strike a blow.
"Boy, die!"
At the same time, a scimitar flew towards Gu Sinian's head, as fast as lightning.
"Oh shit!"
Gu Sinian also had quick eyesight and quick hands. He turned around quickly and held the long and narrow handle of the knife with both hands, and waved it upwards without hesitation:
"Pfft~"
"ah!"
Only a scream was heard from Yan Bing, and the palms holding the sword were cut off by Gu Sinian, and he fell off the horse.
Zeng Lingchuan kicked Yan Bing over the moment he landed, and his toe hit his temple:
"Bang~"
Yan Bing, who suffered severe injuries, fainted instantly and became unconscious.
At this time, there were only two Yanqi left on the field, and three brothers also fell on Gu Sinian's side.
"drive!"
"Da da~"
The two Yan soldiers didn't panic at all. They moved a distance away from each other and dug into the crowd from both wings at the same time. This time they had a clear goal, and they all pointed their swords at Gu Sinian.
They could tell that these people were led by Gu Sinian. To capture the thief, capture the king first!
"Da da da~"
"drink!"
Two scimitars arrived together, blocking all Gu Si's escape routes.
Gu Sinian had no choice but to grit his teeth and make the first move to deflect the scimitar in front of him. There was nothing he could do about the blade behind him.
"Brother Nian, be careful!"
"Get out of the way!"
At this critical moment, Zeng Lingchuan flew up, hugged Gu Sinian and fell to the side.
"Pfft~"
"Chi~"
The blade slipped past, and it was not Gu Sinian who was injured, but Zeng Lingchuan who came to the rescue.
"Brother Zeng!"
This scene made Gu Sinian's liver and gallbladder burst, and his eyes filled with violence. He leaned over and roared, swinging the sword:
"drink!"
"Kacha~"
"Plop~"
The horse's hooves broke in response, and the two Yanqi collided into each other without knowing how, and fell to the ground at the same time.
"Die!"
Gu Sinian raised his hand without hesitation and stabbed someone in the chest with a knife, causing blood to splash everywhere. Gu Sinian was still angry after being killed with one knife, so he changed his hand and chopped him in the face with another knife. Yan Bing was chopped to a bloody pulp.
Wu Xiang and others also saw the opportunity, swarmed up and hacked another Yan Jun to death.
"Brother Zeng!"
"Old Zeng!"
Gu Sinian didn't care much and hugged Zeng Lingchuan, who was half lying on the ground and groaning. His palms were covered with blood at the touch.
Gu Sinian shivered when he looked at the blood on his palm. He had blocked this knife for himself~
A cut was made on Zeng Lingchuan's back with a scimitar. The flesh and blood were turned out and blood flowed continuously. Fortunately, the wound was not deep and no bones were injured.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Zeng Lingchuan's face gradually turned pale, and he said tremblingly:
"It's okay, I can't die."
"Damn, I'm scared to death!"
Wu Xiang cursed loudly, but felt relieved in his heart.
The two of them were veterans, and it was obvious at a glance whether their injuries were fatal or not.
Gu Sinian's eyes were red and he didn't say anything. He pulled off Yan Jun's robe next to him with a sharp sound and just bandaged Zeng Lingchuan's wound with as gentle a movement as possible.
"Ahem, brother, don't worry."
Zeng Lingchuan struggled to sit up halfway:
"It's okay. My old skin is rough and my flesh is thick, so this little injury is nothing."
He said it was okay, but the severe pain from his back still made Zeng Lingchuan grin his teeth and break out in cold sweat.
"Shut up, don't die!"
Gu Sinian glared at him:
“If this blade were any deeper, your life would be dead, and you’re still laughing!
Are you stupid? Are you going to block this knife for me? "
"If you die, just die."
Zeng Lingchuan said honestly:
"This life was given to me by my eldest brother, so I treat it as giving it back to you."
"Don't say such depressing words!"
Gu Sinian cursed:
"I didn't save you just so you could give me my life. You all have to live well! There's no such thing as death!"
Seeing that Gu Sinian had a tendency to get angry, Zeng Lingchuan shrank his head and did not dare to smile playfully. It seemed that this period of getting along with Gu Sinian had established enough prestige for Gu Sinian.
After a great battle, several people were exhausted and collapsed on the ground.
The corpses of Yan's army and his own men fell to the ground in a mess. Several Yan horses stood alone in the field, occasionally neighing.
Only five members of Gu Sinian's band of brothers remained, three of whom were injured.
"Brother."
Wu Xiang glanced into the distance worriedly and said:
"Do you want to save those brothers?"
Just when everyone was fighting fiercely, the fleeing civilians and the Yan army disappeared, obviously running far away.
"No."
Gu Sinian said expressionlessly:
"It's been so long, those who can run must have run away, and those who haven't run away can't survive in the hands of Yan Bing.
The few of us who rushed over were of no use except to save a few more lives. "
Gu Sinian's heart ached. He thought he was lucky to have escaped the Yan army's pursuit on the way here, but he never thought that Feng Sui would be defeated by the Yan army and be pursued again.
"It's all Zhang Lan, that bastard!"
Zeng Lingchuan cursed angrily:
"If it hadn't been for him, our brothers wouldn't have died!"
For things like transporting grain, regular soldiers should have been sent out. Even if it was not possible, soldiers would have to accompany them to protect them. Everyone knew that there were Yan army cavalry operations outside the pass, but Zhang Lan gave them such a job and forced them to do so. Go to hell.
All the bloody lives must be remembered on Zhang Lan’s head!
Gu Sinian's eyes flashed with fierceness. For so long, no one who offended this Gu Dianshi would end well.
Zeng Lingchuan said with a bitter face:
"We are in trouble now. We have survived, but losing the army rations is a serious crime according to the law. Zhang Lan will definitely try his best to torment us after he returns.
Alas~ The official level is overwhelming. "
Wu Xiang said anxiously:
"No matter what, we have to go back to the city first. After the Yan soldiers capture the beacon, they will definitely send out more troops to chase them. We can't wait to die here."
"Can you ride a horse?"
Gu Sinian's eyes moved to the Yan horses.
"Yes! There is no man at the border who can't ride a horse!"
"good!"
Gu Sinian grabbed a saddle and got on the horse:
"Back to the city, let's settle Zhang Lan's debt slowly!"
