Chapter 22 four gambling

Qi Junyuan didn't seem to notice the changes in the "three-petal lotus" at all, and just continued to carry out the things he cared about seriously.He first squinted his eyes in the direction of the sun, feeling the angle of the light; then he raised his index finger and rubbed his nose lightly with the base of his finger, which is the position of using his fingertips and eyes to test the target and distance. "It's almost there. After the adjustment, the timing needs to go a little further!" Qi Junyuan told himself the result in his heart. With the results, you will know the countermeasures, so Qi Junyuan shouted: "Mr. Tang, wait a minute, I have something to say." He who had been speaking calmly suddenly uttered such a manic loud voice, which really shocked everyone.

"It doesn't count! This time it can't be counted. Because the thorn in this operation is not me, but this old layman. He really can't do it, and makes mistakes continuously. He didn't recognize the arrangement of the 'three-petal lotus' and took the initiative." Drill into the village. Then I will learn how to drill mud and dig holes like loaches. I don’t know how to find gaps to attack or escape, and I’m not even as good as a mouse. That’s it, you let us out first, and we will do it all over again. Next time I will be the thorn Head, I promise I can kill you with tight coordination and brilliant instruments."

Not only Tang De and the people from Dongxian Villa laughed, but Fan Xiaotian and the others also felt annoyed and funny.This is not a game, this is a killing field where life and death are fought.The opponent has put people like himself in his pocket, how could he let you out and try to kill him again?Qi Junyuan always said that others lacked the actual experience in stabbing.But now what he said and did was no longer a matter of experience, but a matter of IQ. "Quack... Quack, if you don't die, I can't live. Do you think I'll let you go in this situation?" Tang De's laughter was very creepy, like sharpening a murderous knife.

"I'm giving you a chance. If you do it again, you may have two days to live. If you don't let us go, you will die immediately!" Qi Junyuan's voice became lower and lower, but his venomous tone made people feel Shock is like a shock wave.Hearing such a tone and such words, Tang De in the small pavilion couldn't help but took half a step back from the window. The next sound Qi Junyuan made was no longer shocking, but frightening.He blew the wooden whistle, and the whistle from the wooden whistle was loud and sharp, like howling ghosts and wolves.The sudden whistle made many people retreat involuntarily.This still included Tang De, who took a big step back from the half step he had just taken.

With the sound of the wooden whistle, Qiongtang rushed into the Zhuangkou.The figure leaped and jumped, gliding and gliding, just like a black and white lightning bolt, rushing straight to the gate of Banzi Deyuan. Even in broad daylight, few people could notice Qiongtang's body speed before it approached him.Unless you are at a high place and can see anomalies in a larger area, it is possible to see them in advance.But seeing it in advance does not mean being able to respond in time, such as those archers hiding behind the walls of the courtyard, such as the crossbowmen hiding in the brick fort at the corner of the courtyard wall.

Qiongtang was about to enter the gate of Banzi Deyuan, and then those archers leaned out screaming in succession, and drew their bows and arrows towards Qiongtang.Most of them had seen this monster last night, and those who hadn't seen it with their own eyes heard about it later.This is a flying monster, a monster whose neck has been bitten off before you can see it clearly. A large herringbone crossbow is erected in the corner fort, and the strings have been stretched, and flat upright arrows are placed on the crossbow slot.Although this large crossbow can shoot directly from the arrow eye of the corner fort, the field of view of the arrow eye is too small, especially it is difficult to catch fast-moving targets in a large area.Fortunately, this large crossbow is not very heavy, and there are movable wheels under the frame, so it is very easy to push it out of the corner fort.

When Qiongtang reached the gate, he turned away suddenly, which made some of the arrows shot by the fast-moving archers miss.It's not their fault. The archers are indeed shooting ahead of time for fast-moving targets. Originally, it is calculated according to the way of Qiongtang's rush, and the arrow arrives just as Qiongtang arrives.Who would have thought that the monster would suddenly turn around and go back. Qiong Tang, who dodged the arrow, made another scream on the courtyard wall.An attack on a monster often makes the monster more angry and mad, even if the attack does not cause the monster to lose a single bit.So this scream is the surprise that Qiongtang escaped, and it is also the panic that there may be a more ferocious attack in the next step.

The exclamation of the archers caused several crossbowmen in the corner to speed up the speed of pushing out the large crossbows. They are the follow-up support of the archers. Hands fight for the time to nock the arrow and draw the bow to aim. The corner fort here is semicircular. It is said to come out of the corner fort, but it is actually going around a curved wall in front of it.Just when several crossbowmen pushed the large crossbows of the crossbows to completely bypass the curved wall, that is, the arrows of the large crossbows were fired from the entire wall, before turning to lean against the wall, another sound A howling whistle sounded.

"Where? Where?" "What is it?" "Did you see it?" There was a noise on the wall, and the archers were looking around, looking for the attack that should appear after the whistle. The crossbowmen saw such a panic scene as soon as they left the corner fort. Under the exaggeration of this tense atmosphere, they all shrank their necks and bowed their crossbows, looking around in a somewhat bewildered state of alert. The moment the whistle stopped, there was a brief silence around.All the people who made the noise subconsciously shut their mouths at this moment, as if they were waiting for some kind of crisis to come.But the silence was short-lived, and was broken by even more flustered noises.

"Ah! Here..." "Block!" There were screams from the top of the wall one after another, and with the screams, arrows flew randomly, bows, crossbows, knives and swords were swung, and the entire wall of the gate of Banzi Deyuan was in a mess. And the chaos lasted no longer than the silence just now.As the wooden lattice window of the small pavilion on the right side of the wall was suddenly pushed open, and as a body with only the front half of its head was slumped and hung on the window sill, all the sounds on the courtyard wall became silent again, and all movements stopped immediately. .

Tang De is dead!Died during the brief chaos on top of the wall!Not because of an accident, but a stab that looked like an accident. Qi Junyuan's assassination plan this time was very bold, and there was a necessary condition that he didn't know before, that is, where is Tang De?Will Tang De appear, and where will he appear.A bag for catching thieves and kings, but if there is no king of thieves, then this bag is a bamboo basket for fetching water. So he made a big bet, and the big bet was his own life.However, this bet may be too heavy and risky, because this is a series of bets, and he must bet four times correctly: one is that Tang De will also appear after he appears; The third is that Qiongtang's feint attack can cause the crossbowmen on the courtyard wall to panic; the fourth is that Wang Yanba's "Hundred Step Flowing Shadow" can cause the crossbowmen to shoot by mistake. First, he thinks he should be able to gamble. Even if Tang De wants to avoid the three-day killing called Ming and leave the village, it should not be so fast, after all, this is his home.In addition, he would not have expected that the assassination he falsely talked about would come so quickly, and it would be carried out immediately after midnight.So he should still be in Dongxian Villa, and he will definitely show up after he is sure that he is trapped. The second one, Qi Junyuan, felt that he could gamble well. Judging from the overall layout of Dongxian Villa, the safest location should be on the wall of the south courtyard.From this commanding height, you can see the situation in the whole Zhuangzi. Even if there are masters who can make a surprise attack from the cliff behind Banzi Deyuan, it is very difficult to quickly attack the position of the south courtyard wall.So Tang De's most reasonable place to appear is here. The third is also very sure of him.If the crossbowmen here were from the Imperial Guard, he would not take such a risk.Because the crossbowmen of Yuwaiying had all undergone unified training, even if they were fearful and fearful in their hearts, they would still subconsciously line up step by step.But Dongxian Villa was originally called Wudazhuang, and it was a place occupied by grass bandits.Even if Tang Dezhao'an wins, he can't keep the five masters and drive the other members away.And the others are not lacking in strength, as far as individual combat and bow shooting accuracy are above ordinary soldiers.Therefore, it is very suitable for them to settle down in the village, or to be the guardian of the courtyard.It is not only convenient to cover up the big things Tang De did secretly, but also can become a powerful fighting force when needed.But Qi Junyuan knew that this kind of combat power had not undergone systematic and organized formal training, and the tactics of attacking and killing were different. When encountering opponents they were not sure of subduing, confusion and panic would inevitably occur. The fourth is actually the most important one, and also the most uncontrollable one.Qi Junyuan made an accurate calculation before deciding to place the fourth bet.In addition to luring Tang De to appear in the village himself, he also has another purpose to control the timing.On the low hillside, he measured the orientation angle and width of the south courtyard wall, as well as the influence of the height of the nearby mountain on its light.The south courtyard wall of Banzide Courtyard actually faces southeast, and the sun is still at a great height from the top of the mountain after turning to the southwest, so there will be a time period when the angle of illumination is completely consistent with the direction of the courtyard wall.At this time, let Wang Yanba use the sunlight to cast "Hundred Step Flowing Shadow", and a blurry figure running quickly will appear on the courtyard wall.The previous Qiongtang feint attack had caused confusion among the crossbowmen, and suddenly a figure ran up to the wall. The panic caused by Qiongtang would make them try their best to protect themselves in such an unexpected situation, subconsciously He hurriedly shot and killed.At this time, the sun's rays were just in line with the courtyard wall. Under the dazzling strong light, the crossbowman could vaguely see the flowing shadow but could not tell whether the flowing shadow covered the real person, so misfires were inevitable. Qi Junyuan can be said to be a genius in the assassin industry, and he really deserves the hidden name of "random".His assassination this time turned out to be to use deterrence to create chaos, and then misled the opponent's crossbowman to shoot arrows to protect himself, thus killing Tang De by mistake. But when the bet reached the second bet, an accident occurred.Tang De was indeed on the courtyard wall, but he only showed his voice but did not show up. It is impossible to know where he is hiding.Thanks to the presence of the "wonderful voice" Qin Shengsheng, she not only heard that Tang De was hiding in the small pavilion on the right side of the wall, but also heard his location and his standing height in the pavilion. It was too late for Qi Junyuan to adjust the original stabbing situation at this moment, so he could only continue to add supplementary conditions.He is skilled in Gongqi, and a large part of the skills of Gongqi are connected with Gongjia and Kanzijia.Therefore, Qi Junyuan is very familiar with the structural characteristics of various buildings, such as Shuangxitou and Jiaobao. He also knows all kinds of hidden weapons of bows and crossbows, such as the height and strength of herringbone crossbows, and the flying throw of crossbow arrows.
