Chapter 124 Heavenly Soldiers
"stop!"
Qiu Ruxue had not approached yet, and the minions at the checkpoint had already discovered that the two minions had already known to approach, and one of them had already shouted in a deep voice: "Which village is from? The general ordered that the whole village should not be moved around at will. Are you deaf?"
There are thousands of people in Hulu Village, and every once in a while, newcomers will climb the mountain and join the group. The two minions really didn't expect Qiu Ruxue to be a member of the government.
All villages are closely guarded, and they are not from the villages, so there is almost no possibility of entering the village. As for the back mountain, no one would have thought that someone would climb the steep rock wall and come up from the back mountain.
Qiu Ruxue has one arm and one eye. He doesn’t look like a good person at first glance. Most of the people gathered in this village are desperate people. Qiu Ruxue doesn’t look like the people from the government.
Qiu Ruxue raised one hand, pointed to his mouth, and shook his head, which meant that he could not speak.
The two minions looked at each other and immediately showed a look of tragic behavior.
The man in front of him was a single-armed and single-eyed man, and he was still a mute.
Two minions approached, just a short distance away, and one of them said coldly: "What are you doing here? The officers and soldiers came over, and the brothers in the village were each in their positions..." Suddenly, something was wrong and frowned and said: "Your clothes... Hey, why are your clothes wet?"
But when he saw Qiu Ruxue grinning, his smile was indescribable. The two minions immediately felt something was wrong. Suddenly, they heard two muffled groans behind him, and were surprised. When they looked back, they saw that the two minions left at the checkpoint were covering their throats with their hands and falling down.
"Not good..." A minion reacted, and before he could shout, the sword light flashed, Qiu Ruxue had already used lightning speed to unsheathed the sheath and cut it horizontally.
Before Qiu Ruxue followed Chu Huan, he was already a famous swordsman in the world. His sword skills were amazing, and he was not comparable to two minions. As the sword flashed by, the two minions' throats had been cut open. He wanted to shout but could no longer scream.
Qiu Ruxue looked cold, holding the knife in his hand, and waved his hand, a large group of shadows came out one after another, forming a team, and continuing to advance forward.
Chu Huan was already riding on the horse at this time, not far from the suspension bridge. Seeing that the iron chain had pierced into the rock wall opposite, more than a dozen iron chains connected the two sides, his eyes were sharp, he looked up slightly, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and did not immediately issue an attack order.
The Chu army was on the verge of war.
I don’t know how long it took, but Chu Huan took his eyes off the sky, looked calm and said softly: “Attack!”
Xu Shao, who had been waiting for the order, immediately stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Brothers, kill me!"
A torrent quickly approached the edge of the cliff. The soldiers who had experienced it once climbed up the iron chain with a familiarity. On more than a dozen iron chains, someone quickly climbed up and then climbed over to the other side.
The bandits guarding the suspension bridge were already on high alert. The Lord Quanfeng stood behind the suspension bridge with a burly figure, poked out a head, and said in a deep voice: "Don't hurry, wait for them to get closer and shoot them to death."
The archers on the archery tower were ready to go, and behind the stone railings on both sides of the suspension bridge, the archers had also bent their bows and arrows. Behind the archers were several rows of bandits holding spears.
These bandits are specially used to guard this suspension bridge. They train together on weekdays and cooperate very well.
The Lord Quanfeng watched the officers and soldiers climbed over with iron ropes. He gritted his teeth, waved his hand suddenly, and shouted loudly: "Arrow!"
For a moment, arrows like locusts were shot from the edge of the cliff, and the whizzing sound broke the tranquility of the night.
General Qiu stood above the tower, looking at the officers and soldiers starting to attack Xuri Village, and his brows began to frown.
He turned his gaze to the stone wall again, hoping that the figures of the officers and soldiers would appear there, but there was no trace of them. The sunset village was covered with traps, just like beasts waiting for the entrance of prey, but their prey had not appeared for a long time.
The officers and soldiers launched an attack on the Xuri Village, and almost everyone's attention was temporarily attracted to the suspension bridge.
The first wave of suicide squads sent by the Chu army were very brave. Although some soldiers were caught in an arrow and fell into the cliff, their companions were not afraid to retreat and still crawled towards the opposite side with iron ropes.
On the cliff, there were tens of thousands of people, but they could only watch the more than a dozen officers and soldiers on the iron chains headed forth and fought against each other.
Several soldiers from the suicide squad were caught in arrows, but they still gritted their teeth and held them. The arrows flew over, and they could only turn left and right on the chains to avoid the arrows.
Another team of people came forward in the Chu army. The wolf boy took the lead, held the longbow in his hand, and made a gesture. The people and horses lined up in a row, all holding longbows with arrow boxes.
This is the Lin camp of the Guards, and they are all archers.
Linzi Camp is one of the four major camps of the Imperial Guards. The main targets are hunters who have had hunting experience. These people already have a foundation in archery skills, and under the training of wolf boys, archery skills have been further improved.
In fact, there were soldiers in the middle who had hunted in Hulu Mountain. After Hulu Mountain was occupied by bandits, these people had to leave their hometowns.
At this time, many archers from hunters in the Linzi Camp were even more motivated.
Under the gesture of Wolf Baby, the archers set their bows and arrows at the other end of the suspension bridge. Wolf Baby waved her arm, and hundreds of arrows shot towards each other like raindrops.
The bandits were not afraid. They had already made all preparations. When the archers in Linzi Camp came out, the bandits guarding the suspension bridge had already grabbed the shields they had prepared long ago, squatted down, and raised them in the air.
The arrows fell like raindrops, but there were only a few bandits shot into it. Only a few arrows shot into a few bandits through the gap. The bandits also protected their vital points. Where they shot, they were only flesh-and-skin wounds and did not endanger their lives.
The soldiers on the chain took advantage of this gap and climbed over there quickly. Arrows were constantly here, suppressing the other party for a while.
Several smart-handed and skilled Chu soldiers approached the opposite side, raised their hands and wanted to climb up the cliff. Behind the shield, a long spear had already stabbed out and stabbed it hard. But in a blink of an eye, several brave soldiers were stabbed by spears and fell into the abyss.
Chu Huan frowned when he saw the fierce battle.
General Qiu's face was also a little ugly at this time, with his eyes twitching slightly, he glanced at Master Zhao Feng and asked, "Why haven't the other team of officers and soldiers come over yet?"
Master Zhao Feng was also a little nervous and hurriedly said, "I'll check it out now." Before going down the tower, a figure rushed over and bowed up from the tower and said, "General, the officers and soldiers have arrived at the foot of the Sunset Peak."
General Qiu's originally grim eyes only showed a slight glow at this time, and his rough and powerful hands were hitting the stone, "Okay... it's true, have they already gone up the mountain?"
The man hesitated for a moment and finally said, "Report to the general, they... they don't seem to have the intention to go up the mountain."
"What?" General Qiu was stunned.
Master Zhao Feng said anxiously: "What the hell is going on?"
"If you go back to the peak, there will be thousands of officers and soldiers who arrived at the foot of the mountain. After arriving at the foot of the mountain, they immediately set up a wooden fence and blocked the intersection of the downhill. The archers of the officers and soldiers were waiting behind the wooden fence." The man panted and said, "I waited for a while, but they stayed there and did not seem to want to go up the mountain."
General Qiu's eyes were deep.
"General, look..." a minion on the tower exclaimed: "It seems that something is happening on the suspension bridge."
General Qiu was surprised and hurriedly turned around and looked. He saw that the lights were brightly lit on the Xurizhai Suspension Bridge, but at this time it was already in chaos. The distance was quite far, and the distance was impossible to see clearly, but you could vaguely see that the other end of the Suspension Bridge was in chaos.
There is indeed a mess on the suspension bridge.
Master Quanfeng led his minions to defend the suspension bridge. Although the officers and soldiers were fierce, Master Quanfeng was full of confidence in defending the suspension bridge. All the officers and soldiers who passed through iron chains were stabbed to death by spears. In his opinion, these officers and soldiers were just brave enough, like moths flying into a flame.
But the noise coming from behind him surprised him.
He looked back and saw a pair of men coming quickly. The people were holding big swords, and there were blood stains on the swords. There were 20 or 30 people, with great momentum.
The leader was a one-eyed dragon with an eye mask. He almost knew the leader of Hulu Village, but he had never seen the one-eyed dragon. He squeezed through the crowd and shouted in a deep voice: "Who are you?"
The one-eyed dragon did not stop and said in a deep voice: "We have come to assist in defense under the order of the general."
"Assisting defense?" Lord Quanfeng frowned and said, "You don't need you here... Which village are you from?"
"We are from Xiangyun Village." While speaking, the one-eyed dragon had already brought a group of people to come over, a few steps away from the Master of the Peak. "How is the battle?"
The master of Quanfeng saw that the sudden appearance of the people were all fiercely lit. He saw that many people's swords were stained with blood, and found that many people's clothes seemed to be wet. He immediately woke up and said in a daze: "No, there is a spy..." As he spoke, he waved the knife and slashed at the one-eyed dragon.
The one-eyed dragon Qiu Ruxue also used the knife at almost the same time. When the knife was released, he shouted loudly: "Our Xiangyun Village has abandoned the darkness and turned to the light and surrendered to the government. Those who don't want to die will put down their weapons."
The master of Quanfeng cut down the big sword, and with a "choke" sound, Qiu Ruxue resisted it with a knife. Then he turned and turned the sword on it like a magic trick, slashing it across without any mercy.
The Lord Quanfeng had obviously never seen such a strange sword technique. In a daze, the light of the knife flashed in front of him, and then he felt a sharp pain in his throat. The knife had cut off his throat.
The minions guarding the suspension bridge were caught off guard and could not have expected any incidents to happen later. Many people could not make any sense of the origin of Qiu Ruxue and others. When they heard that they claimed to be Xiangyun Village, they were shocked and wondered if Xiangyun Village had really surrendered to the government. In this way, a fire broke out in the backyard and something was wrong.
Qiu Ruxue slashed the Lord of Quan Peak with a knife, and without hesitation, he waved the knife to kill two stunned minions. Several people had already emerged from behind him, and he was ruthless. Before the minions could recover, several people had already been killed.
"They are spies, brothers, kill them." Someone in the crowd shouted.
There were more than twenty people on Qiu Ruxue's side, but there were seventy or eighty people guarding near the suspension bridge, with a large number of people. They didn't recover at the beginning. When they heard the shout, a fierce bandit suddenly came to kill him.
Both sides immediately messed up on the edge of the cliff, with swords and blood and screams in succession
Compared with Qiu Ruxue and other people, the bandits' individual combat capabilities are naturally inferior. The worst thing is that the area on the suspension bridge is very narrow. Although the bandits are numerous, they cannot form a formation. Both sides can only have more than a dozen people fighting in front.
