The thousand men and horses under Qingzhu were one-third of the three thousand men who followed Lu Wu from the Five Prefectures in the South to the State of Wu, preparing to overthrow the State of Wu by surprise.
To overthrow the Wu Kingdom with 3,000 troops, although Lu Wu mainly wanted to do it himself, the eliteness of these troops can be imagined. Among them, Qingzhu’s subordinates alone were more than 300 top-notch experts. There are more than 30 sixth-grade masters who are also practicing (not the kind who claim to have perfected Qi, but can't even catch a chicken). Moreover, these people are from the military and are good at battles. Not just any elite.
In Qiu Tong's view, with these people and horses protecting them, even if Qingzhu and others are trapped in a tight siege, they can still kill them as much as possible without much danger - Qingzhu and the others are all powerful men who have been taught by Lu Wu personally and have been trained to be close to great achievements. She is not an ordinary weak woman.
As a result, more than a hundred people were killed in a mere Xishui City - Qingzhu felt that he was too embarrassed to see anyone.
That's why she took revenge on a large scale and built a temple in Beijing to warn the world.
"Zhaojiazhuang is twenty-four miles away from here. I think it's best to start!" He Ming, the leader of the team, pointed to the map spread out on the table and said.
This map was given to the Wen family during the handover. It was an important tool for ruling a party. When Qingzhu fled Xishui City, he had to take nothing else with him but the map.
"I think so." Yingzheng Zhang Meng nodded.
The structure of Zhaojiazhuang is different from the cylindrical stronghold at their feet, and its defensive power is far inferior. It should not be difficult to break through here.
"Does anyone else have any opinions?" Qingzhu asked.
She knows she has some shortcomings, so she is willing to listen to the opinions of these veterans.
"That's what the general ordered."
"Okay, in two quarters of an hour, gather the troops and set off." Qingzhu gave the order, but before she finished speaking, a voice came from outside: "Report!"
"Come in!"
"In the direction of Xishui City, there are about three thousand troops rushing towards us along the road. They are still ten miles away." The scout spoke concisely.
】
"Haha, this is really good news." Qingzhu sneered.
"Kill them all!" In the room, two battalion commanders and ten team commanders all had evil smiles on their faces.
The five southern prefectures of the Chu State were a land of plenty and had already been developed. Outside the city, there were cultivated villages and villages. There were very few large forests. Even the trees beside the roads and houses were mostly owner-occupied fruit trees and could not be so dense.
Majiazhai is on the edge of the forest. Not far behind are hills and forests. In front are large bamboo forests and fields. A winding stream flows out of the mountain, not far from Majiazhai.
Because the surrounding vegetation was rich, when Qingzhu captured Majiazhai, he thought he had killed everyone. However, a few half-grown men swam out from the waterway at the bottom of the well and escaped with the help of vegetation. They were killed by the Qi family's men at the gate of Xishui City. After intercepting it, the Qi family knew the bad news about Majiazhai before the Ma family.
The horse came out and rode a donkey, leading the way - it was the sixth head of Majia Village. Hearing that his home lair had been raided, he rushed back as if his buttocks were on fire.
You can see Majiazhai from a distance. Outside the village, there is a four-meter-high Jingguan. Although it is still difficult to see the heads on it clearly from a distance, this thing did not exist in Majiazhai before. Combined with Xiao Erzi From what several people said, you immediately knew what it was.
"If this revenge is not avenged, I will never die in peace!" Ma Chu roared.
Then, he fell off the donkey's back. In his open mouth, half of the black iron arrow was exposed - the other half and the tip of the arrow pierced through the back of his head.
It was not until this moment that the horse came out of the side, and everyone heard the sharp roar of the long arrow breaking through the wind and the loud sound of the bowstring.
Two hundred steps away, a tall horse emerged from behind a tree and stood in the middle of the road. On the horse was a tall man in armor (from a distance, Qingzhu was wearing armor, so he couldn't tell he was a woman) holding a big black bow and bending smoothly. He nocked an arrow from his bow and shot out another arrow in front of everyone in the Qi family and the Ma family.
Everyone in the front row quickly lowered their heads to avoid it. When they looked up, they found that another person fell behind them - but it was a famous swordsman from the Qi family.
The person in the front row could see the arrow being fired, but the guy in the back row couldn't. When the person in the front row lowered his head and bent down or even lay directly on the ground, he saw the arrow again and it was already too late to avoid it - let him No matter how good your sword skills are, it will be in vain if you don't have time to draw the sword.
"Spread out and surround us from both sides!" Qi Ming shouted.
More than 20 people ran out from the team, along both sides of the road, and each used their physical skills to quickly outflank them.
Before these people could rush forward, another arrow flew from the opposite side.
Qi Ming quickly dodged - five steps behind him, an unlucky guy fell to the ground with an arrow in his chest.
Just like that, Qingzhu fired seven arrows in a row, killing five and wounding two. Seeing that the person closest to him was already fifteen steps away, he calmly turned his horse's head.
Two hundred steps away, Qingzhu's accuracy is actually not that accurate, but these families are crowded on the road. Even if the people in front see the opportunity and avoid it, there will always be people standing in the path of the long arrow behind, plus the gods. The range and power of the arm bow are truly astonishing, which is why it is so effective.
Seeing that Qingzhu was about to run away, the children of the Qi family rushed forward with all their strength.
The next moment, swords flashed from both sides of the road at the same time, creating a bloody light.
Thirty soldiers were lurking on both sides of the road, covered with shelters made of grass and trees. If you didn't pay attention, even if you were close to Chi Chi, you might not be able to spot them. What's more, these children of the Qi family didn't pay attention to their feet at all, their eyes were all fixed on the green bamboo. .
In just a moment, fifteen of the more than twenty Qi family disciples fell down. Only the few who ran at the back were lucky enough not to enter the ambush and survived.
But then, Qingzhu turned around on his horse, drew the long bow only half full, and fired several arrows in succession, pinning the remaining Qi family disciples to the ground.
Within thirty steps, it is extremely difficult to dodge even an ordinary bow and arrow, let alone a powerful bow like the Divine Arm Bow?
"Haha." Qingzhu sneered and moved his horse forward.
Thirty soldiers lurking on both sides of the road followed the horses, neatly forming two teams and heading towards Majiazhai. No one turned to look back.
The leaders of the powerful coalition were hesitant.
Let's chase him. There is a gap of two hundred steps between the two sides. If there is another ambush on both sides of the road, the consequences will be disastrous.
It's not that they, with more than 5,000 people, are afraid of an ambush by the opponent's small number of people, but that their large army is still stretching for several miles behind them, and they want to catch up immediately. They can only use the people around Qi Ming and others, which are two to three hundred. People around.
The other side doesn't need to ambush many people on both sides of the road. Judging from how well-trained the other side is, just one or two hundred people can kill them all.
Seeing Qingzhu and others gradually walking away, Zhao Bailu asked in a low voice: "This——Brother Qi, should we chase him or not?"
"——Chase!" Qi Ming's voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
