The half moon rose again. Zheng Anping squinted several times and woke up several times before finally being completely awakened by the cold winter night. The ground gradually became colder, making his belly feel cold, which made him feel uncomfortable.

I wanted to move my posture slightly, but heard a noise.

The sound was not loud, but it was very clear in the slightly cold winter night. It was a few people walking on the road. He looked around and found five people walking towards this direction by the river without any trouble.

"Who is it?" Zheng Anping was about to ask, when a senseless fear came over his body. He held the halberd almost subconsciously.

"No, it's from Qin!" He immediately realized that this fear saved his life.

He took a deep breath and quietly adjusted the crossbow and halberd to the most comfortable position.

The figures gradually became clearer. They were five warriors. The weapons were not in their hands, but in their waists.

In the pre-Qin Dynasty, the only weapon that could be inserted into the waist was the sword; at that time, the knife was just a tool, not a weapon, and was very short. Of course, some people used swords to kill people, but that meant the same as using scissors to kill people today, and they could not get into battle.

The swords are all made of bronze. The copper material used can be used to cast multiple spearheads and spearheads. It is an expensive weapon. Those who can own swords are nobles with high status. But now these five people are all wearing swords.

, just like the previous court. Ah, no, not one, but two, one long sword and one short sword.

As the five people got closer, Zheng Anping could see more and more clearly.

That's right, it's the Qin Army. Only sharp warriors of the Qin Army could be equipped with two swords like this.

To say that the Qin people made swords, they really spent a lot of money. At that time, most of the swords were short and thin. Only the Qin people made long and thick swords, which were heavy and resistant to bumps. This kind of sword,

A halberd cost about three (Qin) kilograms of copper, which was called three gold at that time; and a Marquis of Ten Thousand Households could only earn less than a thousand gold in a year. Zheng Anping's halberd could not carry more than one gold even with a spear, but it also allowed him to accumulate several thousand gold.

Year. With a Qin sword? Never thought about it.

Five Qin soldiers with sharp swords! Zheng Anping felt very uneasy. He could shoot one of them in secret by firing his crossbow quietly; he could kill another one by leaping up and charging. Where are the remaining three? The only way is to quickly

Stab one down, and then use the length of the halberd to sweep horizontally... In this case, the thrust should not be too sharp, but should leave room for the next sweep.

Zheng Anping was thinking about how to deal with the five opponents in front of him.

Of course, it is best not to take action and hide... If you do, the first arrow is very important. You must shoot the leader.

So Zheng Anping began to search, who is the leader? The one who leads the team? The one who holds the line from behind? The one who mediates in the middle?

The five people moved very quickly, without forming any formations, and without any hidden movements. They moved their legs and swung their arms in similar ways. Their clothes and weapons were exactly the same.

Who is the leader here! Zheng Anping screamed desperately in his heart. He decided not to care about whether the leader was the leader or not, whoever jumped on him would shoot whoever!

Zheng Anping held a crossbow in one hand and a halberd in the other. Once he realized something was wrong, he immediately shot an arrow at the nearest person; waiting for the moment when they were stunned, he jumped up and launched a thrust at the nearest person.

But it's best not to... He hoped in his heart and secretly took another breath.

Suddenly, Zheng Anping heard another sound of footsteps, which was the sound of leather boots hitting the ground hard. Hearing this sound, Zheng Anping immediately calmed down. This was the sound of Wei Wu soldiers running, and there were many of them.

.He knew that he was safe.

Those black figures obviously heard the sound of running coming from far away, and came to the same judgment as Zheng Anping. They looked around and all quickly went down to the river. In this way, Zheng Anping completely saw

They're gone.

Not long after, a fire dragon stretched out from the other side of the city. Sure enough, they were all soldiers wearing armor, carrying crossbows and holding halberds. It looked like there were as many as a hundred people. When this group of people ran to the bridge, Zheng Anping suddenly shouted: "

There are assassins! There are under bridges!”

In the calm night, a shrill cry suddenly came out, which immediately attracted everyone's attention. The soldiers immediately knelt down on one knee and extended their fire into the river. Then they heard someone screaming: "Over there!"

Several black figures leaped up from the river. Zheng Anping suddenly knelt down on one knee, raised his crossbow, and fired an arrow. Then he heard a muffled grunt, indicating that someone must have been hit by an arrow. Several people jumped back to the bank again.

Seeing that he had time, Zheng Anping immediately cocked the arrow again. The commander of the soldiers also issued an order: "Nock the arrow!" The soldiers inserted the torches on the ground, unhooked the crossbow, and pulled the string to nock the arrow.

The commander of the soldiers ordered again: "Shoot!" Everyone had probably seen the Qin soldiers, and the crossbow arrows were fired in rows. This time, only the sound of arrows shooting through the air was heard, and no other sounds were heard.

The soldier leader took out an ox horn and blew it several times. After a while, several more trumpet sounds came from the distance, indicating that the army knew that this group of soldiers had encountered a small group of Qin troops.

The soldier commander pointed to a chief: "Take the men and chase them down the river."

Shi Chang took the people away.

The soldier commander then walked towards Zheng Anping. Zheng Anping pointed the crossbow at him: "Stop, don't come over! Is there any talisman?"

The soldier commander took out a copper knot from his arms, but Zheng Anping still did not put down the crossbow. The soldier commander took out another jade pendant and walked over with both hands raised.

Zheng Anping put down the crossbow and checked the knot and pendant. They were indeed the ones Mang Shen had shown them.

The soldier commander said to Zheng Anping: "Brother, go ahead and bring the people here. We will wait here."

"Bringing someone? Who to bring?"

"Don't worry about it, just send the order to 'bring the people here'!"

Zheng Anping said hesitantly: "The Qin army scouts are nearby. Can you please two brothers to accompany you?"

The soldier commander said: "I'm sorry, brother, I didn't receive this talisman, so I can't mobilize this soldier!"

Zheng Anping was furious. He didn't know where these five people had fled, and he didn't know if there were other scouts (there were almost certainly there). If he were alone, he would be a wolf in the tiger's mouth! But the look on the soldier commander's expression was obvious.

It was clear that he had no intention of helping.

He gritted his teeth and said to the soldier commander: "Yes, Shangguan, that's what he said!" He tightened his belt, hung up his crossbow, picked up his halberd, turned around and ran into the darkness.

The soldier commander said: "Hey, brother, raise a fire!" while trying to pass his torch over.

Zheng Anping said: "Thank you! There is moonlight, so you can see!" He ran away without looking back.

Run with fire? Tell others my goal? He thought bitterly in his heart.

Running, running again. Since the war started, Zheng Anping has been familiar with this running. It has only been two days. How many miles have he run? Walking doesn’t even count. Zheng Anping thinks that now he can only run to the next stop as soon as possible, maybe he can still
