Chapter 319 Life and Death

Li Yun bent down and tiptoed along a row of thorns.

The temperature in the woodland is very high, and it is very stuffy.After running fast for a while, and suddenly slowing down, Li Yun felt as if he had been soaked in a water tank, sweating profusely, soaking his robes.Every few steps he took, he stopped and wiped the sweat from his forehead, so as not to affect his sight at critical moments.

They are located not far from the edge of the woodland, so sometimes the sea breeze will blow in, rustling the dense bushes.Every time the bushes made a sound, Li Yun took this opportunity to take a few steps forward.

The sound of him stepping on the dead branches and leaves under his feet was just covered up.

This is a skill that Li Yun learned after struggling for several years in northern Xinjiang.Although Li Yun's skill is far inferior to that of his elder brother Li Ting, he is also used to fighting. When he was in Zhigu Village, he had several lives in his hands, and he did not neglect his martial arts practice when he arrived in Laizhou.If it can be activated suddenly at this moment, it will be no problem to kill two or three wildlings.

The wind stopped for a while, and Li Yun looked at a stone wall two feet away.Wang Er'er was a little far behind the stone wall.

After a while Li Yun made the first move, even if he was entangled, Wang Jie'er snatched him out later and killed him one by one.

Wang Haoer is also a ruthless character, and Li Yun has no doubts about his sword skills.

Just thinking of this, the sound of heavy footsteps came from the front of the narrow road in the forest.

Li Yun held his breath and concentrated, and fell to the ground again.His face was almost on the ground, while his feet were charged forward and backward, and his right hand holding the dagger was put behind his back so that he could swing it when he jumped out.

Then he heard a wheezing sound.

What bad luck, what bad luck, Li Yun said to himself.

That's a hound panting!I was chased by a dog!
He had no time to wait for the opportunity, and jumped up with a roar.

The body crossed the thorn bushes, and in mid-air, I saw a strong hunting dog, and a weird man in dirty straw clothes with messy beard and hair standing beside the hunting dog, looking up in surprise Looking at Li Yun.

What is the origin of this person?What are you going to do?A thought flashed in Li Yun's mind, but he also knew that life and death were at stake!

Li Yun strode forward, ready to slash with his knife, but the strange man took two steps back and raised his hands. Both of his hands were holding something.

It was a small gift that Li Yun had prepared before. It was a red box with pastries in it, and a colorful terracotta figurine.

"You are not here to fight, you are not villains." The strange man said every word.

When he spoke, his words were a bit vague, as if he hadn't spoken in Han Eryu for a long time.This is Chinese children's language!It also has an accent that Li Yun is very familiar with, either Zhongdu Road or Beijing Road!

Li Yun held up the knife carefully, and pointed at the strange man: "We are from Shandong! We are here to give gifts and fix it! We are not Jurchens from Liaodong! Why are you in Hesihanguan? Are you coming to hunt us down, or are you here to help? Are you really in the same group as those yellow-headed girls just now?"

The weird man opened his mouth, probably not thinking about how to answer the series of questions.

And not far behind him, a ten-year-old child ran up after him.This child was wearing a dangling leather jacket on a hot day, and his head was tied into a bun with a thick rope. He seemed to be well taken care of. Li Yun glanced at him, and then saw the strange man with messy hair showing a worried expression. eyes.

"Is this your child?" Li Yun asked.

The strange man with messy hair was about to answer, when the child saw Li Yun threatening him with a knife, and rushed forward screaming. He didn't know what slogan he yelled, but the big dog sitting in front of the strange man also jumped up in vain.

Li Yun was thrown down by the big fluffy dog, and then his arms were hugged by the child again.Holding the dog's neck with one hand, he stood up with all his strength and turned over, and threw the child away forcefully, before he could catch his breath, he saw Wang Hao'er jumping out from behind the stone wall with a knife.

"Don't do anything!" Li Yun and the messy-haired weirdo yelled together.

Meanwhile, camp direction.

The savage's attack was no longer wave after wave, but hundreds of people pressed directly in front of the car camp.

On top of the vehicle, a dozen or so archers frantically opened their bows and arrows and shot wildly. The savages were crowded together without armor or shields. Injured and shot dead.

Someone was hit by an arrow in the arm, so he dropped his crude weapon and continued to rush forward.Someone's leg was shot through, and he rolled to the ground on the spot, and was trampled by many people behind without any scruples, crackling into something like mud.

There are also arrows in the body, and the fine arrow clusters go deep into the belly, or penetrate from the back of the body.With this kind of shooting method, they are sure to die, but the person who was hit by the arrow didn't care about it, he didn't even look at the wound, and continued to charge forward until his vitality suddenly disappeared, and he became limp all of a sudden.

In comparison, the person with the arrow in the head suffered the least.

But it's no use, there are too many wildlings.

Zheng Rui estimated that with a hundred more archers in his family, they might be able to suppress the savage's offensive.

Too bad he didn't.

Li Yun didn't plan to make trouble in Fuzhou, so his previous plan was to find a seaside meadow that was not occupied by savage tribes as a pasture.Before the group came here, they had estimated that the number of yellow-headed Jurchens in the south of Hesi Hanguan was about two to three thousand. There will be more, so there must be plenty of open space.

But who would have thought that these people would kill them as if they were all crazy?
These days, there are so many people who are not afraid of death.Zheng Rui struggled to grow up in a military family, and his memories from childhood to adulthood are seldom warm and happy. The grown-ups he saw were all hungry and clothed, bullied, and had to go to battle, batch after batch. death.People who grew up in bitter water, are they so fond of bitter water?
It wasn't until after he joined the Ding Navy that he had land, a home, and the hope of living a good life, that Zheng Rui was full of thoughts of repaying Guo Jieshuai; Good tire idea.

Zheng Rui is so.Looking at the appearance of these savages in front of them, they can only live a harder life than Zheng Rui, and of course, they are less afraid of death.

But Zheng Rui didn't understand, how much hatred is this?What are they drawing?
Dozens of people to hundreds of people, and then hundreds of Jurchens kept pushing forward, and the car formation was crumbling.Zheng Rui didn't care to turn around, and just relying on his hearing, he heard several companions guarding the gaps in the vehicles screaming.And right beside him, a large cart was slowly overturned by dozens of savages screaming and shoving.The archer who was shooting arrows in the car fell to the ground, and he was afraid of being crushed to death by the falling car, so he rolled backwards crazily.

Zheng Rui kept yelling, wanting someone to come over and support the vehicle quickly, and don't let it fall over. Once the vehicle falls, the traffic formation will be broken!
But where is the manpower coming from now?Where is there anything to secure the vehicle?

Li Yun and his group came to discuss business, not to fight, so they didn't make so much preparation at all!

He was slightly distracted when a skinny yellow-headed Jurchen suddenly jumped up from below, almost head-to-head with Zheng Rui.

The man crawled close. Zheng Rui was busy dealing with the enemy in front of him. He didn't pay attention. The two of them collided suddenly. Zheng Rui's sword was too late to retract. He could only roar and pointed his forehead at the yellow-headed man The Jurchen bumped into it.

There was a muffled bang, and the yellow-headed girl staggered and fell to the ground. Zheng Rui couldn't stand still, and retreated repeatedly.

As soon as he retreated, more yellow-headed Jurchens swarmed in.

Zheng Rui screamed, and then roared again: "Aduo, you idiot! Your stupid idea will kill us all!"

If there are still a group of people fighting around him, why is he in such a mess?Even if there are only five more people, the situation can be maintained for a while!

But there was no one around him.On the contrary, it was Hoduo who, with a few companions from his family, was busy in the center of Chezhengai, not knowing what he was doing.

This kid is Guo Jieshuai's servant, and his status is extraordinary.That's why Zheng Rui didn't stop him when he proposed that bad idea just now.

But right now Zheng Rui is full of regrets... I really shouldn't have listened to this idiot!

Zheng Rui yelled with all his strength, only to feel dizzy.He supported the ground with a knife, and wanted to fight forward, but right in front of his eyes...

Several savages who rushed into the inner circle of the car formation widened their eyes and stopped.Unbelievable expressions appeared on their dirty faces, and some trembled with fear, then fell to their knees.

This look of extreme surprise or horror quickly spread backwards.In the car formation, outside the car formation, and even farther away, the ferocious savages were screaming and killing one moment before, and then froze in the next moment.

Most of the people stood still, and some dropped their weapons and started to back away.Some wildlings with strange accessories on their heads, who looked like leaders, were particularly emotional. Their eyes kept moving upwards, and then danced a strange dance, as if they were praying.

Holding the knife, Zheng Rui took a few steps forward, posing in a threatening gesture.

The savages didn't notice him at all at first, and when they saw him walking in, they backed away timidly one after another.The few savages who rushed into the car formation first, even crawled out of the car formation with both hands and feet.

Zheng Rui was also stunned.

He turned around and looked back, only to see several officials holding a thick and long rope.

The rope stretched all the way into the air, and Zheng Rui looked up along the rope.

At the end of the rope, about seven or eight feet above the ground, a huge and colorful round object is slowly flying.

"This is a hot air balloon... The last time I saw it, it can't hold a person, right? Is this the latest one? Made it so big?"

Zheng Rui has some knowledge. When he was in the military academy, he saw those little dolls tossing this thing several times. He just muttered and rubbed his eyes before looking at it.

There is a basket hanging under the circular object. If Zheng Rui remembers correctly, there should be a dedicated coal stove in the center of the basket.

And Hodor was standing in the basket, leaning out and laughing.

The colorful pattern painted on the surface of the hot air balloon is clearly a mighty general in armor with clouds floating around him.In the hand of the god general, he held a huge and ferocious iron bone.

This Tie Guduo was too exaggerated, Zheng Rui couldn't hold back anymore, and burst out laughing.

The sea breeze blew again, and the few people who were holding on to the ropes at the center of the car formation were staggered.

"Get some helpers, hold on to the rope! Don't let the balloon float away!" Zheng Rui shouted.

Above his head, hot air balloons whirled in the wind.

Wherever the gods were facing, the savages knelt down in awe one after another.
