Nightfall

Chapter 9: Rock-hearted guards

A mumble!

It was like a sharp metal thorn pierced into dozens of wet papers stacked together, and the feather arrow shot into the chest of a bodyguard beside the Huagui carriage. The **** chest fell down.

At the moment when Ning Que shouted the enemy attack, the trained princess guard responded quickly. The guard jumped bravely into the chariot and blocked the carriage window of His Royal Highness. He didn't know where this feather arrow would shoot. He only knew that His Royal Highness in the car must be the enemy's first target, and he must not let His Royal Highness live. Under the slightest threat.

This brave bodyguard gambled right, the price he paid was his own young life.

"Enemy attack!"

"Protect Your Highness!"

"Establish a shield!"

The guards roared violently and shocked.

Countless arrows, like a rainstorm, intensively projected from the depths of the dense forest, whizzing, and instantly the whistling wind disappeared without a trace, and it was especially terrifying.

Ning Que, who was still some distance away from the round car array, fell down for the first time. While falling down, he did not forget to throw down Sang Sang and the maidservant who ran out of the tent with themselves.

He fell heavily in the woodland, because the ground was covered with the deciduous pine leaves of Beishan Road for hundreds of thousands of years, but he didn't feel much pain. His face was attached to the cool leaves, listening to the sound of the dense arrows in front, Listening to the occasional sound of arrows passing over his head, he silently calculated the number of archers and the amount of arrows used.

Around the Beishan crossing, all the guards were angry and anxious, shouting and arming command sounds, and there was a very heavy sound of standing shields. Those large shields composed of the car panels at zero hours were strongly inserted by the guards into the edge of the cowl. The role.

咄! Duh! Duh! Duh!

Feather Arrow slammed into the simple wooden shield, making a dull impact like a war drum, but it was denser and more terrifying than the craziest war drum. From time to time, arrows hit the guards along the gap of the simple wooden shield, causing a groan, And those unfortunate horses that were hit with arrows were not as strong and strong as imperial men, tumbling in pain and tumbling.

The sound of arrows breaking through the air, the sound of arrows in the wooden shield, the mumble of people, the mourning of horses, all kinds of sounds mixed together, turning the camp that was previously enveloped by the warmth of laughter and laughter into a shura hell.

咻!

A feather arrow shot fiercely into the mud floor less than half a foot before Ning's absence. The splashed earth and gravel hit his face, and a red mark instantly appeared, but his facial expression did not change at all, quietly creeping and rotting. Above the needles of Ye Song, his eyes penetrated the gap between the leaves, crossed the arrow shaft, and looked to the north mountain road in the distance to the south.

The opponent did not choose to launch an ambush in the dense forest of Beishan Road, nor did he choose a night raid, but chose to start the evening when the team had just arrived at the entrance of Beishan Road. Even though Ning lacked a natural intuition about the danger from childhood, he still did not expect this point.

In the evening, it is the easiest time for people to relax and have the weakest minds, and the convoy is about to meet the receiving troops of Gushan County. It is inevitable that they will relax a bit. These enemies must use this.

Vaguely saw a lot of dense figures in the dense forest on both sides of Beishan Road. Through the previous calculation of the density of arrows and the sight at this time, he roughly judged that the number of enemies was about 60.

After all, it was in Datang territory, and the other party wanted to assassinate the emperor's favorite four princesses. No matter whether it was for the sake of confidentiality before or after the event, the other party could not use the real big army, only the most loyal deceased. .

Since it is a deceased person, the number of people cannot naturally be too large, but Ning Que is very clear. Fighting on the battlefield has never been more powerful the larger the number of people on the other hand. On the contrary, it is composed of dead men who are not afraid of death. The team is the most difficult to deal with.

The great empire arranged such a shocking assassination. In addition to using the dead, it may even ask the practitioners to take action. Thinking that today may see the battle between the strong on the battlefield, Ning Que's heart somehow produced some kind of The excitement immediately felt unprecedented fear.

"It's bad luck," he murmured, turning his head to look at the maidservant beside him, and found that the little lady had calmed down quickly and calmly in addition to a panic in her eyes at first. Silently applauded in my heart.

The enemies in the jungle on both sides have flooded out. Those men in the uniforms of the gray Tang army are not masked. They wield standard steel knives in their hands and flutter at high speed like wolves. Since they have not concealed their identity, it is obvious that there must be a party Will be slaughtered in full.

The stubborn savages around the convoy were the horse thieves that Her Royal Highness had conquered on the prairie. The fierce rain had already inspired the fierceness. Some people put up a short bow and began to shoot quickly. Some people screamed and pulled out of the waist 'S machete greeted him.

At the Beishan crossing, a fierce blade collision sounded suddenly. Someone from both sides fell from time to time in the snorting roar. The tip of the knife pierced into the chest and abdomen. The blade cut the throat, and blood was sprayed from the men. Wet red fallen leaves.

The battle has entered the most tragic stage at the beginning, but no one retreated, no one turned to escape. In addition to the martial arts and killing skills, the competition is more of a brave fighting intention.

The prairie barbarian loyalty to the princess was extremely superb, brave and not panicking, and instantly suppressed the enemy's attack. From time to time, some shadows fell in the jungle. The barbarians screamed back and gradually controlled the car array. The woodland around them, and despite their bravery, still prudent, did not blindly expand their positions.

No matter from which point of view, the tactical choices of these prairie barbarian guards are very correct, at least in Ning Que's opinion, so he is very puzzled, why the expression of the maidservant around him has become more and more dignified, seems to be worried what.

After all, these brave prairie barbarians had never experienced the terrible battle of the Central Plains. She was worried about this, and she prepared to stand up as soon as she gritted her teeth.

Ning Que could not let her expose her body, thus putting herself and Sang Sang into a terrible situation. Her right hand was clenched into a fist and her leg was bent, causing her to fall down again.

"what are you going to do!"

'S maid stared angrily at his eyes, while her right hand slowly and quietly reached her waist.

Ning Que looked at the battlefield intently, ignoring her questioning. When he noticed the scene of the car array, he thought of a certain possibility, which made him feel slightly cold.

The fighting at Beishan Road was tragic, and the car array was a strange and quiet. The dozen or so Datang elite guards who should be married to the grassland were half kneeling around the two cars like a dozen stone carvings.

In front of a carriage, the gentle old man in old robes was sitting with his eyes closed, under the protection of the guards, facing the deeper and darker jungle.

Ning Que licked his numb lips nervously, reaching for Sang Sang, and a lot of sweat came out of his palm, wet and wet.

Sang Sang glanced at him, passed the bow and arrow in his hand, and then slowly and silently released the black umbrella behind him, resting quietly on the fallen leaves beside him.

……

……

Fighting continues, the three people and the tragic battlefield are separated by a car array, depending on the situation, the battle between the prairie barbarian and the dead will not be affected here in a short time, but somehow, Ning Que feels unprecedented Tension, the sweat between the palm of the hand and the bow tie rope is gradually drying out sometime.

A dozen stone guards kneeling on the ground like stone sculptures looked coldly into the depths of the jungle. Their dark faces were full of perseverance and calmness. Although they were vigilant, they were never afraid.

These dozen Datang guards were born in Chang'an Yulin Army, and were specially selected as the four princesses' marriage to enter the grassland. Since they are the most elite members of the military, they are somewhat different in today's battle outside the Beishan Road.

When Arrow Rain came from the depths of the gray forest, they quickly formed a circular defensive formation, silently avoiding behind the shield, and waiting for the blood of the enemy dead to arrive, they still remained in this posture without moving. The brutal fighting took place around.

From time to time, the prairie barbarians of the same camp succumbed to their eyes. From time to time, a lifeless body hit the car array and made a dull impact sound. They did not even blink their eyelashes. They always stared at the depths of the jungle indifferently, both heart and body. Like steel rock.

The guards kneeled on top of the fallen leaves on one knee. They wore cotton sweaters, and the nails were vaguely visible in the corners of the cotton sweaters. Their right hands reached behind. UU reading www.uukanshu.com held the knife handle diagonally upward, indifferently. Looking ahead, surround the two cars behind him.

One car was gorgeous and silent. In front of the other car, the only old gentleman in the team sat with his eyes closed, his mind relaxed, and a sword lying on his knee. The scabbard was worn and worn out, like a robe on the old man.

The guards stood expressionlessly around the old man ’s body, as if they could not see the fighting around them at all, they could not hear the shouts, and occasionally the enemy was about to burst into their defense circle, and only then would a guard stand up and throw himself away. kill.

Because they are outnumbered, the guards who come out of the list will often quickly fall into a **** battle, but even so, the rest of the guards are immobile, and even their eyelashes do not blink, and they still refuse to leave the old man half a step.

Ning Que didn't know why the guards were so, what the guards were watching, and what was hidden among the leaves of the dark forest, but he knew there must be great terror there.

I vaguely guessed what was going to happen. The gorgeous and cold new world opened the curtain of the coming reality, making his emotions extremely extreme, his scalp a little numb, and the **** **** kept muttering the bowstring silently, after a moment, Instead, his breath slowed down miraculously, his expression calmer than before.

Wait for the unknown danger and fear, so that the atmosphere in the field became extremely depressed. The fierce fighting sounds and the collision of blades around the car array seemed to disappear.

At the critical moment of tension, the gorgeous carriage window was pushed away with a squeak, and a beautiful young woman leaned her head out, her hair bun slightly, and her face looked careless.

Waiting for her to say something, the cold-faced head of the bodyguard next to the car whispered, please be careful, and quickly reached out to close the window and blocked her back. Although the expression was polite, maybe the movement was a little rude because of the tension .
