Chapter 36: A Different War
The smell of blood is everywhere.
A night owl took off silently, gradually getting taller and taller, looking lonely and tall against the backdrop of the moon.
"Buzz" sounded another bowstring sound.
An arrow penetrated the body of the night owl. The night owl struggled twice in the air, its feathers flew around, and finally fell into the deep stream.
This is Feng Ying’s warning to the other party.
Opposite the Half-Moon Pavilion, the newly lit fire emits a flickering light, but these lights can only illuminate the narrow plank road. Once the light leaves the plank road, it is swallowed up by darkness.
"Listen to the heroine opposite, our brothers have no ill intentions, we just want to take advantage of the passage."
A rough voice came from a distance, and as soon as the words were spoken, a branch The feather arrow roared into the darkness.
"Du"
The feather arrow seemed to be blocked by something like a shield.
Feng Ying said coldly: "Go back and wait until the road is wide before you go there."
"The heroine is forcing others to make things difficult."
Feng Ying sneered and said: "Then wait until dawn. I'll see where you guys are hiding!" Before Feng Ying finished speaking, a javelin roared out of the darkness, and Feng Ying huddled behind a pillar. , the javelin was accurately nailed to the pillar, more than half a foot into the wood.
Feng Ying stopped talking and closed her eyes as she watched the moon fall into the back mountain.
The moon was gone, and the fire burning on the plank road was shining brightly. A stone flew out of the darkness and hit the fire. Sparks scattered in all directions. Feng Ying's arrow followed the stone. The direction from which it was flying was submerged in darkness, and there was a muffled groan in the darkness, and then it became silent again.
Feng Ying understood that what the other party was afraid of was not her bow and arrows, but the blunderbuss in Xiao Chu's hand.
The handgun recently made by the Yun family was not originally intended to be used to kill Duzi, because the craftsmen of the Yun family found that the barrel of the handgun was too short, and it was impossible to find the gun to shoot after Duzi went out. Where did it go, so the barrel was thickened and it should be fired with shotgun.
In this way, apart from the problem of strong recoil, this thing has become a good tool for close combat.
Although his bows and arrows are sharp and capable of killing people without calculation, they are enough of a threat to ordinary bandits. However, judging from the results of the fight just now, bows and arrows are not a big threat to these people. So they didn't dare to rush over because they were completely frightened by Xiao Chu's first shot. They couldn't figure out where the people on the opposite side came from and why they had muskets.
This is the stalemate until now.
No matter what these people are thinking, one thing Feng Ying understands very well is that these people want to leave as soon as possible.
If they are merchants walking at night and they have a lot of people, like the countless merchants Feng Ying met on the road, they would take a look and send someone over to say hello, and everyone would move forward or retreat to a certain wide area. It was a place where people were on guard against each other and passed away.
These people did not do this. Instead, they approached sneakily. Their intentions were already obvious.
Seeing that the moonlight had completely disappeared, the mountain stream was completely shrouded in darkness, and the fires on the plank road gradually extinguished.
The Banyue Pavilion was too spacious. Feng Ying ordered the thieves to leave the Banyue Pavilion with the goods, leaving the eight toughest thieves and Xiao Chu scattered around the Banyue Pavilion. If there is any movement, the thief hiding in the corner will shoot out a rocket to scare off the opponent.
The people on the opposite side seemed a little anxious and rushed forward gropingly. After Xiao Chu pulled the trigger twice in a row, they retreated again.
Perhaps these people made a mistake and thought that Feng Ying had at least two blunderbuss.
It was finally dawn, and a middle-aged man in short clothes walked over from the opposite side with his hands raised. Feng Ying did not let go. She wanted to hear what these people wanted to say.
"A certain Chen Sanliang, who was known as a bandit and was known as a gopher. He used to make a living in Qingliang Mountain in the middle of Shu. From the accent of the heroine, she is also from Shu. Whether she is a relative or not, she is from her hometown and is of the same lineage as Shu. , please give way to the heroine and allow me to wait." As she spoke, she took out a fifty-tael silver ingot and placed it on the road.
Feng Ying did not answer, but Xiao Chu jumped out like an arrow, picked up the silver ingot, ran back, and said to the gopher: "Not enough!"
The silver was taken away , but the gopher did not show any anger. Instead, he had a smile on his face. He took out a silver ingot from his arms and placed it further away: "Twice more."
Xiao Chu He said angrily: "You threw the money over and put it so far away, didn't you just want me to be fooled?" The gopher chuckled and said: "They are all people who are seeking a living on the green forest road. A certain family has shown sincerity. Heroine It's time to show something."
Xiao Chu looked at Feng Ying eagerly and said, "Miss, I want this ingot of silver."
Feng Ying snorted. The arrow shot out again and grazed the silver ingot on the ground in the middle of the gopher's chest. After the silver ingot was hit by the feather arrow, it hit the cliff wall. Before the silver ingot hit the ground, Feng Yingyu fired a series of arrows, and every feather arrow hit the wall. On the silver ingot, after three twists and turns, the silver ingot flew towards Xiao Chu.
Xiao Chu reached out and grabbed the silver ingot with a smile on his face.
After the gopher was still in shock, he still raised his thumb and said: "Good arrow skills, our brothers need to go there urgently. Now that the heroine has got the silver, can there be a way out?"
Feng Yingdao: "You guys retreat! As long as you leave the plank road, you will be allowed to pass."
The gopher frowned and said: "I have something important to do and I can't delay, so why not ask the heroine to retreat?" "How?"
Xiao Chu hid at the foot of the Banyue Pavilion and said angrily: "There are planks behind us for thirty miles, how can we retreat?"
The gopher said angrily: "Don't bully others too much!"
Xiao Chu threw out the silver ingot and said angrily: "Miss, these peopleHe is a bandit, and what he gave us was official silver!
The official silver of Fengyang Mansion! "
Feng Ying was surprised. Looking at another piece of official silver held by Xiao Chu, she found that the silver ingot had the seal of Fengyang Mansion.
"You are Zhang Bingzhong's. people? "
The gopher sneered: "Now that you know it, why don't you make way for grandpa? "
"Those who destroy my home will die! ”
The feather arrows fired, but the gopher took a round shield from his back, curled up into a ball, and rolled towards the Half-Moon Pavilion.
At the same time, Opposite the Half-Moon Pavilion, there were six big men holding a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, shouting and charging towards them.
"Boom!" "Xiao Chu pulled the trigger, and a large cloud of iron sand was sprayed towards Gopher. The iron sand was embedded in Gopher's shield and on his exposed legs and feet. Gopher screamed and threw away the shield. Retreating instead of advancing, Xiao Chu pulled the trigger again. After another loud noise, the rotten body of the gopher stood in the middle of the road, waving his arms and shouting. His face was full of blood holes, and his eyes were also covered with blood. The iron sand was beaten to pieces.
The Shushan bandits fired arrows at random, but the bandits on the opposite side had no intention of retreating. They continued to charge forward with their shields raised, and the rain of arrows clanked on the shields.
A black iron ball smoked and rolled along the plank road into the group of thieves. The thieves didn't take it seriously. They were about to collide with Feng Ying who was holding a knife and was waiting for a fight. Each one was extremely violent. In excitement, the leader of the thieves even threw away his buckler and slashed left and right with a long knife. The feather arrows of the Shushan bandit could not hurt him at all.
Another black iron ball was thrown by Xiao Chu. , Feng Ying was horrified, shouted and hid behind the Half-Moon Pavilion, and the other Shushan thieves also lay on the ground, ignoring the thieves who were about to rush over.
Two loud noises exploded almost at the same time. In an instant, black smoke billowed and dust flew around the Half-Moon Pavilion. The strong air waves scattered Feng Ying's bun, causing her black hair to fly straight back.
Several screams. Coming from the deep stream, Feng Ying looked around and found that the bodies of three thieves were dancing and falling towards the deep stream.
The strong wind in the canyon took away the smoke and dust, and they were scattered on the ground. Six or seven men in armor covered their ears and writhed on the ground in pain. Every time they writhed, large blood stains would appear on the ground.
Feng Ying looked at the half-collapsed Half-Moon Pavilion. Looking at the plank road opposite, there was no one there.
After the Shushan bandits tied up all the bandits, Feng Yingcai checked the injuries of the bandits.
The lethality came from the explosion fragments, and the two loud noises completely deafened the ears of these people. Although their ears were bleeding and their bodies were bruised, these people were not dead. Even the most seriously injured one was only half broken off.
Xiao Chu found the silver ingot she threw out from the pile of rocks, and personally searched the gopher lying on the ground, but found no silver ingot.
< p>Feng Ying traveled all over this small battlefield and measured it.After the loss, he said to Xiao Chu: "This is a different kind of war.If the Yun army is all armed like this, the world will change."
Xiao Chu is puzzled. Looking at the young lady, in her opinion, the most important thing now is to destroy the corpse as soon as possible and get on the road!
