Chapter 71 Attacked in the Night
Ma Huisheng is the Divine Power General not recorded in official history, but originated from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
Although "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was written by Luo Guanzhong of the Ming Dynasty, he exaggerated, beautified, and uglied various modifications based on materials from local official and unofficial history.
As an outstanding figure in Xiliang, Ma has many legends about their true and falsehood in Guzang.
This Shenwei General Street is obviously from unofficial history. The reason why unofficial history is more attractive than official history is that it has a passionate heroism.
This is also the reason why "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is more beautiful and exciting than "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
Wang Changling boasted about the unofficial history he knew, and Pei Min was not calm.
As a liberal arts student, I have watched "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" more than ten times. I remember it like a stream, but I am familiar with every hero's deeds.
How can I bear to show off my skills in front of him?
Just as I was about to have a "Xu Zhu's naked clothes fighting horse", I turned my head and saw a cold light of weapons flashing in the dark eaves on the right.
The light and shadow were very faint, but in this dark night it was enough to attract his attention and alertness.
Curfew was the best way to maintain nighttime public order in ancient times. Ordinary people and even high-ranking officials were not allowed to go out without special circumstances.
Even if there are special circumstances, you need to report to the regional manager and only then you can go out after you are allowed.
Otherwise, if the night patrol soldiers or the anti-command will be punished by criminal punishment.
At night, hiding in the dark, and weapons...
Combining these characteristics, Pei Min reacted instantly. He smiled calmly and said, "I have something to forget to go with Zhang Xiaosong, let's go back."
As soon as Pei Min said this, Zhang Jiuling, Wang Changling and Wang Zhihuan, who had been following Pei Min for a long time, reacted instantly.
Even Wang Wei noticed something was wrong.
Pei Min has always respected capable people. Even if Zhang Xiaosong has promised to be his subordinate, he will not be able to call him "Zhang Xiaosong" in a rude way.
Calling it Mr. Xiaosong or Mr. Zhongshan is OK, even if it is Xiaosong, Zhongshan can do it. Calling it by its name is a disrespect.
Everyone was clear-minded and agreed.
At this moment, the bowstring sounded!
In this dark night, the sound of the bowstring is particularly loud!
Pei Min only felt creepy pores.
He could have heard it from the moment the bowstring sounded.
The sound was not a bow and arrow, but a powerful crossbow.
Since ancient times, the crossbows of the East have always led the world, especially the powerful crossbows of China, which are no less powerful than those of the early firearms.
It is only because of the complex production, difficult to carry, slow shooting, expensive prices and other factors that it is gradually eliminated by firearms.
The powerful crossbow is extremely powerful and has been forbidden by the imperial court since ancient times, and it is not allowed to be kept privately.
The other party actually used a powerful crossbow, and I was afraid that it was still a crossbow when I heard the sound.
The arm-opening crossbow is the most powerful type of hard crossbow in the Tang Dynasty. Its range is 230 steps long, and its power at close range is even more terrifying.
Pei Min's body was tense and had already prepared herself and shouted sternly: "There are assassins, protect several gentlemen!"
The strong wind rushed straight towards him, and in an instant it reached Pei Min's face.
There is no doubt that the other party’s target is him!
In the flash of lightning, all the consequences flashed through Pei Min's mind.
This was prepared in advance. If he really wanted to avoid it, he could still dodge it. However, Zhang Jiuling was beside him. With his dodge, Zhang Jiuling would definitely be shot.
The situation did not allow him to hesitate at all.
Just as he was caught in the arrow, Pei Min's movements were also as fast as lightning. His body flashed to one side, and at the same time he drew his sword and flicked towards the crossbow arrow!
He knew that human power could never shake the power of the crossbow, so he did not fight head-on, but instead lifted the crossbow arrow with the back of the sword, forcing it to change direction.
The crossbow arrows collided violently with the Qinhuang Sword. Pei Min only felt his wrist tremble, and the tiger's mouth suddenly hurt, and his muscles were stiff. Although he only touched the side, an irresistible force still surged. Just like an electric shock, the Qinhuang Sword came out of his hand.
A hot wind penetrated into his right shoulder, as if he was about to break out of his body. After being flirted with his desperate force, the crossbow arrow slightly turned the direction and stabbed into his right shoulder.
Pei Min was worried that the crossbow arrow would break out, and he still shot Zhang Jiuling behind him. His natural reaction even passed through his thoughts. Just as he thought about this, his foot had already glared suddenly, followed the force of the crossbow arrow, and knocked Zhang Jiuling to the horse. He was on the ground behind his back, and the crossbow arrow pierced into the surface, and the force dissipated...
This series of things was only in a blink of an eye, and even the naked eye could not see all these changes.
I only knew that Pei Min was shot in an arrow, and then he shot all over.
The scene of the time of the tour was a bit chaotic. Pei Min was their backbone. If there were any problems, they would be blamed.
The soldiers reacted very quickly. They gathered in the front row and prepared for defense. They did not attack rashly without knowing the enemy and us.
In the darkness, more than 30 people emerged from the streets and alleys. They all held sharp blades and failed to retreat with one blow. Instead, they attacked Pei Min and the others with the shouts of one person.
The man shouted, "Don't let one go, kill them all!"
Pei Min grinned in pain, but when he heard the other party yelling, his heart became even more angry.
Guzang, Liangzhou, is his territory. It is embarrassing to be assassinated on his territory. The other party is bold and arrogant and intends to kill them all?
Pei Min gritted his teeth, reached out and broke the crossbow arrow on his back, and helped Wang Zhihuan, who was investigating his situation, shouted: "There are still no more thieves? Please keep calm and protect several gentlemen, and wait for reinforcements."
Pei Min's voice was as strong and powerful as his surroundings, and his originally uneasy heart instantly calmed down.
Then flames rose in his eyes. Pei Min treated each of them as if he was his own. Now that they were injured because of their unfavorable protection, they felt guilty and hated the enemy in front of them to the core. They emerged and shouted and greeted them one by one, fighting with them for fear of their lives.
There are more than thirty thieves, all of whom are fierce. Although the guards are well-trained, they are at a disadvantage in numbers and do not gain the upper hand.
Especially the person on the other side, a long sword dancing in his hand rushed left and right, and actually killed three guards in a row between several breaths.
Wang Zhihuan said in his heart: "Not good!"
His swordsmanship is not weak, and it can be seen that the assassin has reached a certain level of martial arts, and the well-trained guard is not his opponent. If he does not stop him, he will swing him, and the guards will fight with less and will not be able to stop the group of assassins.
Pei Min's guards were not without good players, but he was sent out by good players, so that he could not stop the opponent's masters now.
Wang Zhihuan was about to go up and block him.
But I heard someone beside me say, "Ji Ling, you are responsible for protecting several gentlemen..."
It was Pei Min who spoke. He picked up the Qin Emperor's Sword from the ground. His right hand was injured, and he changed to his left hand to holding the sword and rushed towards the arrogant assassin's leader...
Before everyone could stop him, he had already stepped forward.
