Chapter 308: There is no way to end the world
With a strong wind blowing in his face, Fu Jingtao rushed out of the market town and breathed a secret sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Zhongyuan Army underestimated their strength and did not send experts to suppress the formation, otherwise their hope of escaping would be very slim. The Song Dynasty Forbidden Army was well-equipped, and there were many soldiers in the army.
More than six people became crossbowmen. As long as hundreds of people gathered around to shoot arrows, even if they had three heads and six arms, they would not be able to resist them.
Just now, he rode on horseback on the long street and used iron rods to fight off many masters of the Forbidden Army. This would probably have aroused Liu Qingyi's vigilance. After all, Liu Qingyong escorted the ordnance back to the camp, and then there were strangers making trouble in the town, which will inevitably make people think.
Buying weapons privately with the intention of treason is a serious crime of confiscating a family and exterminating a clan! With Liu Qingyi's sophistication, how could he not know the terrible consequences of the secret being leaked? He will definitely try to kill people to silence them to prevent any news from reaching Zhao Kuangyin's ears
, causing the long-planned operation to fail.
Yin Lianlian said loudly: "Sir, your ability to block arrows with the flying stick is so good. I think the other party was so frightened that he forgot to shoot the second arrow."
Fu Jingtao calmed down his thoughts for the time being and said with a smile: "The so-called expert will know if there is a problem as soon as he makes a move. How can that person have the nerve to do whatever he wants?"
Yin Lian Lian chuckled and said, "Young master, you really don't know how to write the word 'modest'!"
Fu Jingtao said boldly: "I am proficient in eighteen kinds of weapons, and I can hold them and put them down. If I join the Forbidden Army, I will at least be a general such as a commander."
Yin Lianlian asked: "Compared with the commander-in-chief and the military commander-in-chief, who commanded more troops and horses?"
Fu Jingtao's face heated up and he laughed dryly and said: "The commander directly leads the troops into battle, while the Jiedushi sits in the commander's tent and strategizes. The two cannot be compared."
Yin Lianlian didn't seem to understand, but suddenly she heard the thunder and thunder of iron hooves behind her. She glanced back and saw a group of cavalry leaving the camp, rolling up smoke and chasing after them quickly, with murderous intent rolling like a tide. She said in surprise: "Sir, look at this group of cavalry.
It’s not easy to deal with!”
Fu Jingtao smiled bitterly. Sure enough, he was afraid of whatever he wanted. Liu Qingyi probably sent his most elite soldiers to pursue him. However, the road ahead was clearly visible and there was no mountain forest to block it. No matter how he ran, he could not escape the opponent's sight. He said solemnly: "Bai Lian"
, if the situation goes bad, you and I will go separately, and whether we will live or die will depend on our personal destiny."
Yin Lian shook her head and said: "No, I want to be with the young master!"
Fu Jingtao felt warm in his heart and laughed: "Well, let's face the enemy side by side and live and die together!"
In a matter of moments, the pursuing Forbidden Army cavalry passed through the market town, gradually closing the distance between the two sides. They were the elite among the elite, well-trained, and had superb riding skills. They were one of the best in a hundred to mount a war horse. Compared with Fu Jingtao, who was proficient in riding skills,
Yin Lian Lian was too strong. Seeing that they were approaching the target, the cavalry made strange noises, trying to disturb the enemy's mind.
Fu Jingtao and Yin Lianlian remained unmoved and urged their horses to run wildly.
One party chased closely, the other escaped quickly, and quickly ran more than ten miles away.
During the chase, the Imperial Guard cavalry began to try to fire arrows in turns. Due to the bumps on their horses, they were unable to aim flatly, so they adopted a projectile tactic, not aiming for accuracy, but just to cover the enemy's left and right sides. The bowstrings rang loudly, and the arrows streaked across the sky.
They fell along parabolic lines, some were nailed in the middle of the road, some flew into the farmland, and some were shot into trees.
Fu Jingtao and Yin Lianlian ran away while waving their palms to shoot arrows. However, a sharp arrow slipped through the net and hit the rear of Yin Lianlian's horse. The horse screamed after being injured and twisted like crazy.
He bounced around and lost control.
"Wow!" The pursuers immediately let out a burst of cheers like howling wolves, and the arrow rain suddenly became dense.
Fu Jingtao shouted: "Bai Lian, jump over here!"
"Yeah!" Yin Lianlian pressed her palm on the horse's back, used the force to leap into the air, landed behind Fu Jingtao's saddle, and wrapped her arms around Fu Jingtao's waist. She pressed close to the man in front of her, feeling inexplicably peaceful in her heart.
In a daze, he no longer cared about the risk of death.
The two of them were riding on the same horse, and the burden on the mount increased, and their energy would soon be exhausted. Fu Jingtao was secretly anxious when he suddenly saw a low mound on the right front, covered with trees, extending to the mountains in the distance.
superior.
There is no perfect way for everyone!
If you want to get rid of your pursuers, you must first not tangle with them in the plains. They have the advantage of riding and shooting. How can you compete with them and how can you escape? You must use the complex terrain of mountains, forests and rivers to offset their advantages to the greatest extent and force them to abandon their horses.
Fight. Only in this way can we win a chance of survival.
As soon as he thought of this, he rushed out of the road and headed straight for the mound.
The cavalrymen were so experienced in combat that they immediately whistled one after another. The team spread out in a fan shape and spread across the fields like a tide. Their iron hooves trampled the muddy water and dozens of feathered arrows were shot at rapid speed.
The sharp arrows pierced the air and screamed, making people's scalp numb.
The first wave of feathered arrows had just flown halfway, and the second wave of feathered arrows had already left the string. It was like raining down arrows, and it would not stop.
"Walk!"
Fu Jingtao and Yin Lianlian raised their Qi and flew up at the same time, using Qinggong and body techniques to the limit.
Arrows rained down from the sky, and poof! Blood splashed, nailing the poor war horse to the ground.
The two knew there was no time to delay, so they ran as fast as they could, crossing the fields like a stream of blue smoke. However, the speed of the cavalry's horses dropped sharply, and some even got stuck in the mud. They watched helplessly as their target ran further and further away, and cursed angrily.
Fu Jingtao and Yin Lianlian threw themselves at the foot of the mound without any danger, burrowed into the forest, and rushed to high places. Locust-like feather arrows pursued them non-stop, hitting tree trunks and branches with a crackling sound.
They didn't bother to pay attention to the harassment of the cavalry, and disappeared into the middle of the woods without stopping.
At dusk, tired birds returned to the forest, and their chirping sounds filled the surrounding area. The two of them passed through the forest, and were so startled that the birds flew high in the sky and refused to land for a long time.
After crossing the mound area and entering a long mountain range, the sky was completely dark. The cold moon appeared, its light was like water, and the mountains and forests seemed to be covered with a light white gauze, which was hazy and unreal.
Suddenly I heard the gurgling sound of running water, which seemed to be there but not at all.
The two of them became energetic and followed the sound. After searching zigzag for a while, they finally found a clear mountain stream. The flowing water reflected the moonlight, like a silver snake twisting through the dark ink-like rocks. They didn't know where they would end up.
Where to flow.
The two of them scooped up water and drank deeply, feeling refreshed and cool from the inside out.
Yin Lianlian spoke softly: "Fortunately, the hilly area is not conducive to the cavalry galloping, and they gave up the pursuit. Otherwise, we would be in big trouble! Master, where should we go next?"
Fu Jingtao said: "We have to rush to Xingyuan Mansion. However," he scratched his hair in distress and looked up at the night sky, "This is my first time traveling far away. I don't know which direction the city is!"
Yin Lianlian frowned and said softly: "I don't know either."
The two of them looked at each other, staring at each other, and suddenly realized that they were lost. East, west, south, north, which direction should they go to reach Xingyuanfu City? What if they walked around in the dark for a long time?
