Chapter 20 Chapter Twenty
"Crack!" There was a thunderclap, and a gust of wind blew up on the ground. It seemed that the mist that filled the sky and the earth was swept away in an instant, but the bean-sized raindrops slammed down hard, hitting people's faces vividly. pain.
Yang Hao was overjoyed: "Okay! After the heavy rain, Li Guangyan's troops will no longer be able to produce surprise soldiers. Fold down!" He pressed Tang Yanyan's shoulder hard, leaned over her back, and the two spiked arrows pierced her. pass by.
"What did you run out for?"
"I...I want to help you, you only bring dozens of people, I'm afraid even thinking about it..."
"It's really confusing. If you are a girl's family, if it falls into their hands, what should you do?"
"I...I..." Tang Yanyan was dizzy.
Yang Hao's heart softened, and he said: "Forget it, I didn't expect that Li Guangyan's people still have a unique way of communicating with each other in the thick fog. The communication is so fast. If you didn't lead the enemy army away, I would really You may not be able to break out, turn left!"
The rain began to fall more and more heavily, and the sheltering effect of the rain curtain was not as good as that of the thick fog, but the wind was blowing and the rain was blowing, and the eyes were hard to open. Coupled with the pouring rain, the road began to become muddy, making the road ahead even more difficult, but Yang Hao felt relieved .
There are still a few pursuers clung to them, but after the heavy rain, they don't have to worry about the cold arrows they shoot from behind, and they can't use the loud arrows to notify more people to chase here, as long as they can get rid of it. These people are really safe.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it was pouring down, making it hard to keep your eyes open.The war horse under Yang Hao's crotch also began to snort heavily, and its horsepower gradually failed.Although this horse is very handsome, but it has been carrying two people for such a long time, and it doesn't have much strength. Coupled with the heavy rain, it is even more difficult to move forward.
There was a gentle slope ahead, running up the dirt slope, and then up a mountain ridge. After the horse rushed up the slope, he could no longer move forward, because the road ahead was full of loose gravel.Yang Hao got off the horse, grabbed Tang Yanyan's slender waist, and hugged her down. His legs were a little numb due to riding for too long. He pulled Tang Yanyan down, and he almost fell down.
"Let's go up the mountain!" Yang Hao abandoned his horse, took Tang Yanyan's little hand and ran up the mountain. The mountain road was rugged and the trees were interspersed. The opponent's horse also couldn't go up the mountain. In such a sheltered place, the chances of survival are far away. Much larger than on the bare prairie.
Two Yinzhou soldiers dressed as Bailing's tribe people caught up. When they saw Yang Hao and Tang Yanyan running up the mountain, they quickly jumped off their horses, drew their scimitars and turned sharply from behind.The rain was getting heavier and heavier, from scattered bean-sized raindrops to pouring rain in an instant, and Tang Yanyan, who was dressed in a single robe, showed her beauty, and her breasts heaved unbearably before she ran, embarrassing her Neither is hugging the chest, nor is it covering the buttocks, it's really angry and ashamed.
Fortunately, Yang Hao didn't have time to look at her at this time. He held Tang Yanyan with one hand, looked back nervously, and ran to a slightly gentle hillside in front of him. A few big pine trees on the slope covered most of the rainwater. The wind blowing from among the trees made it even colder.Seeing that the two Yinzhou soldiers were approaching, Yang Hao gritted his teeth and shouted: "You keep running, I'll kill them."
Yang Hao drew his sword and rushed back. The boots he was wearing were hit by rain, and they were covered with yellow mud on the mountain road. At this time, he felt a weight of more than ten kilograms, and his figure became clumsy. In addition, for the sake of safety before departure, Mu En gave him a full set of clothes. Of course, there was nothing to do when he was sitting on the horse. In this step of the battle, he was carrying dozens of catties of weight on his body, and his figure was already very sluggish.
Those two soldiers from Yinzhou were wearing single clothes, much lighter than him.These two were the elite of the elite selected by Li Guangyan from among his own soldiers, and their martial arts were not weak at all, so it would not be a disadvantage if they were two enemies at this time.Although Yang Hao has learned a lot of kung fu, he is still far from mastering it, especially when he walks with a sword, which should be light and elegant, but now he is wearing heavy armor and a pair of mud boots on his feet, how can he be so elegant? stand up?
No matter how elegant and immortal this set of Lu Zu's improved Tiandun swordsmanship is, it has no charm in Yang Hao's hands at this time. There is no way to see any moves in the fight between the three of them. With a knife, the speed is compared, and the eyesight is judged. Under the heavy rain, the three of them are as if they are drowned.
In the battle between the three of them, the pouring rain made it hard to keep eyes open, Yang Hao squinted his eyes and relying on his exquisite swordsmanship, he could barely resist the enemy, but he was already retreating steadily.Suddenly, a Yinzhou soldier jumped up with a knife and slashed down. Yang Hao was drenched by the heavy rain, and he couldn't dodge it. He had to raise his sword and slam it hard. It was split in half by the knife.
But the Yinzhou soldier used too much force, when he fell down, he stepped on a loose stone, and he yelled "Ai", and his body fell forward.How could Yang Hao miss such an opportunity, he rushed forward with all his strength, grabbed the man's hair, and cut off the man's neck with the half-cut sword in his hand like killing a chicken.
Yang Hao killed the man with a sword, he was already panting from exhaustion, the rain was rushing down his face, the corners of his eyes were a little itchy, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the man next to him swiping his knife, straight to his waist, at this time There was only half a broken sword, how could he still be able to resist it, he pulled out his legs and was about to dodge, the mud boots slipped on the stone, "Alas", he felt pain piercing to the bone, this force even twisted his ankle.
Seeing that the knife was about to hit him, he heard a shout from the side. Tang Yanyan had arrived beside him at some time. Like a female cat protecting her cubs, Tang Yanyan rushed up fiercely and threw the man Knocked down.Yang Haosheng was afraid that something might happen to her, so he wanted to rush over, but his sprained foot couldn't exert any strength at all. Tang Yanyan got up from the person in a panic, holding a dagger in his hand, The blood was dripping, and it was washed away by the heavy rain in a short time. It turned out that when she rushed forward with her body, the dagger had already pierced the man's chest.
She was shocked for a while, and rushed over to hold Yang Hao and was about to leave. Yang Hao looked back, looked through the gap between the trees, and saw two more horsemen coming down the mountain. When the two arrived at the foot of the mountain, they saw those horses. Reining in the horse's reins, he looked up the mountain, then got off the horse, and held up the steel fork to feel up the mountain.
Yang Hao had no choice but to endure the pain, picked up a knife as a crutch, and let Tang Yanyan run up the mountain with a limp.Yang Hao's armor was cumbersome to begin with, and with a sprained foot, Tang Yanyan's entire weight was on Tang Yanyan's body. The two of them were out of breath after a short walk, and they didn't even have the strength to move. Yang Hao grabbed Tang Yanyan. Stopping Tang Yanyan, he panted and said: "This is not good, if we continue to escape, we won't even have the strength to fight."
Tang Yanyan panicked, "Then what should I do? I...I'll fight them."
Yang Hao grabbed her and shouted: "Do you really think your swordsmanship is incomparable?" He turned his head to look at the two lying corpses not far away, wiped the rain from his face and said: "I have a way, but... ...I want to wrong you!"
Tang Yanyan said blankly: "You... how are you going to... wrong me?"
On that day, Li Jiyun rushed back to Xiazhou aggressively. He wanted to persuade his father to send troops to attack Luling Prefecture. Who would have thought that when he returned to Xiazhou, he would know that the battle between Xiazhou and Nantufan had become more and more fierce. Even if they don't dare to openly offend Xiazhou, if they secretly send a team to help Luling guard the mountain, Xiazhou will have to pay a very heavy price. Naturally, it is impossible to make enemies on both sides at this time, and draw troops to cut Luling again. Lingzhou. Li Jiyun was furious, so he wrote to Li Guangyan, the defense envoy of Yinzhou, asking this uncle of the same age who had always been friends with him to come forward. Li Jiyun would be the lord of Xiazhou in the future, so naturally Li Guangyan could not offend him.In addition, the two have always been on good terms, so how could they not sell him a favor. In addition, Yinzhou is much closer to Luling than Xiazhou, so Yang Hao wantonly besieged and suppressed the Qiangs in Hengshan, and after killing the chickens to warn the monkeys, he wanted to gather the Qiangs, and the location was actually in the Yeli clan.The Yeli clan, who had always been arrogant and rebellious, was the most warlike clan among the Qiang tribes, and even faintly the leader of the Hengshan Qiang clan. Although they could not compete with Yinzhou, their special status in this area was an indisputable fact.When Luling Prefecture was first established, it had the support of Fuzhou and Linzhou. Now the Yeli clan is very close to Luling. Once Luling Prefecture becomes a climate, Yinzhou will be threatened first. Both public and private, Li Guangyan had the need to attack Luling Prefecture. He dispatched scouts to investigate and find out the origin of Luling Prefecture. My lord, if he can be killed, the serious trouble will be eliminated, so he made a plan to intercept and kill him. But if he wants to lead an army deep into the grassland controlled by the Yeli clan, how can he cover people's eyes and ears? Besides, the current situation in Yinzhou is also very delicate. Apart from the intention of pleasing Li Jiyun, he also has his own intentions in coming here this time. He planned to do so, so he only brought more than two hundred elite soldiers, and some kabuki performers to cover up people's eyes and ears, and sneaked into the Hengshan area quietly. All the way down, it really didn't arouse the suspicion of Zhu Qiang village. But along the way, when he heard the local Qiang village talk about the strength of the Luling State army, Li Guangyan was secretly surprised. He did not expect Yang Hao's troops to be so powerful. In his estimation, Yang Hao should be relying on Only by winning as many times as possible can we wipe out many Qiang villages, it is absolutely impossible to bring all the troops with us to the Yeli Clan this time, and one of the two hundred elite soldiers of my own will count as ten, so I am afraid that he will come. Who wants to listen to the description of the local Qiang people, Yang Hao's troops seem to be stronger than the elite troops in Linzhou and Fuzhou, and they are all good at riding and shooting, so Li Guangyan has no idea.Li Guangyan is bold and careful, although he dares to go deep alone and take the risk of attacking, he is not a reckless man who blindly takes risks and uses force. After learning that all the soldiers under Yang Hao's command are good at riding and shooting, he is not inferior to his own elite soldiers. Dare to act rashly. It was his intention to meet Yang Hao by chance at Wuding Riverside. He wanted to use this to get acquainted with Yang Hao and find out the details of Yang Hao before making plans.If Yang Hao was careless, then it would be okay to kill him suddenly and then walk away.But Yang Hao was very careful when he went to the banquet, and he was surrounded by brave and skilled fighters. He also knew from Li Jiyun's letter that Yang Hao was a master of swordsmanship, so he didn't dare to act rashly. However, following Yang Hao's team, after a few days, he found that Yang Hao's men were far from being as good at riding and shooting as in the legend. Many soldiers had limited riding skills. When encountering wild animals on the grassland, they shot arrows to hunt them , the arrow technique is also ridiculously inferior, and the only ones who are really fearful are the twenty or so people who accompanied Yang Hao during the banquet that day. Those rumors were spread by the Qiang villages in Hengshan. At this time, he began to plan to attack Yang Hao's camp by surprise, but when Mu En followed Li Guangcen to the Tubo grasslands, because he was often attacked by the Tubo tribes, he had already developed the habit of being very cautious no matter where he was. Wherever he is stationed, the clear and dark sentries are arranged so that there is no chance for Li Guangyan to attack the camp by surprise. His purpose is to take Yang Hao's head. If Yang Hao is allowed to escape, even if he is killed, these soldiers and horses will be gone. Meaning, we have to wait patiently for a better opportunity. Tian fulfilled his wish, and as soon as the fog came, he knew that the opportunity had come.To be on the safe side, he used the thick fog as a cover to put on a good show. He wanted to lure Yang Hao to help, but Yang Hao was unmoved, so he acted accordingly and asked his son to lure people to a fraudulent camp. He failed again, so he had no choice but to face the enemy head-on. At this time, the twenty whirlwind cannons he carried played a big role.The whirlwind cannon he was carrying was not actually prepared for Yang Hao's men and horses. The range of this weapon was not as good as that of a bow and arrow, and it was of limited use when encountering a sudden charge on the grassland.In his initial conception, his two hundred elite cavalry were like a sharp knife, even if Yang Hao brought seven or eight hundred bodyguards with him, he would not be his opponent. But Yang Hao has to bring six or seven hundred people to the meeting this time. No matter how weak the combat power is, it is still a team. Even if there are six or seven hundred pigs, it is not easy to kill Yang Hao with one blow. If he escapes , there is no guarantee that they will not avoid the nearby Qiang village.He has established friendship with the Qiangs in Hengshan. These Qiang villages sometimes turn to the Han people and sometimes to Xiazhou. The sulfur fireballs and poisonous smoke balls used to attack the crude Qiang village are extremely sharp weapons. Who would have thought that this weapon would be used on Yang Hao in the end. With the help of thick fog, bows and arrows were not very useful, but the power of the whirlwind cannon was greatly increased, finally forcing Yang Hao out.After Yang Hao escaped, Li Guangyan's team of three people searched separately. Once suspicious traces were found, they immediately shot loud arrows to contact the nearby people. people. The two climbed to a gentle slope, and saw that there were a few tall green pines with lush branches, so the rain stopped for a while, and there were three corpses lying prone in the dripping rain, and the two immediately became nervous.They clenched the steel fork, exchanged glances, and approached step by step... There was a dead body lying on the ground, his throat was cut open, the muscles in the throat washed by the rain were pale, and there was no blood at all. The two recognized this person, and this person was their partner. They swallowed, and then looked forward. Not far away, there was a person lying on his stomach with a half-cut sword stuck in his back. Looking at the clothes, he was also their person. . The two walked over carefully, picked up the man with a steel fork, and turned the man over. Looking at the appearance, it was indeed their own. The two breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the third man again.This person is a woman, wearing moon-white clothes, lying quietly on the ground, the rain is pouring on her white face like jade, her face is beautiful, her skin is so white, it seems that even the raindrops can't condense on it. On her face, but her long eyelashes are covered with fine raindrops, like flower petals with crystal dewdrops. Isn't her person like a flower that is about to bloom, frost and rain?
