Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Page 294

"Alan, take your entourage and go first, I'll cut off your heir!" Ximen Qing said to Bor Jijin Alan.

At this time, beside Ximen Qing, sixteen guards shot left and right with bows and arrows, temporarily forcing back the robbers who rushed up.

Ten of the bandits' archers were lost by the river, and they still lost when they shot against the Mongols like Borji? up.

These robbers were not in a hurry, they just surrounded Ximen Qing and the others from a distance, waiting for the leader Huo Jiuer's team.

At this time, Ximen Qing had also heard the sound of galloping horses from the west, and knew that the bandits were coming for reinforcements.

"Master Ximen Qing! I want to be with you! Be together in life or death!" Bo'er Jijin? Alan blushed and shouted beside Ximen Qing.

Ximenqing was about to go mad and chase Boer? Alan left first, but when he turned around, he saw figures shaking by the river, and the bandits who had been killed and dispersed gathered again, holding simple wooden shields, holding knives and guns, blocking the way of retreat across the river .Obviously, their purpose was to stall for time and trap themselves so that the thieves' brigade could catch up.

hateful!These bandits also know some superficial art of war!Going to fight them hard.

Ximen Qing drew out his two knives, and aimed at Bor? Alan shouted: "Okay! I'll take you out! Follow me!"

Bo'er? Alan nodded, holding the bow and arrow tightly, leaning against Ximen Qing.

"Protect Alan well! Come with me!" Ximen Qing ordered to his guards.

After saying this, Ximen Qing waved his two knives and took the lead to kill the river.Bo'er Jijin? Alan and several Mongolian followers followed closely behind Ximen Qing, while the sixteen guards guarded Ximen Qing and the several Mongolians on the left and right flanks of Ximen Qing, and charged forward together.

The horses carrying supplies were abandoned, and the guards scattered them before leaving, so as to disturb the encirclement of the bandits.

"Don't let those Mongols go! Chief Huo is here!" Fifty or sixty robbers had gathered by the riverside, and more robbers kept coming to the riverside.Some of the robbers were also cheering up the crowd.

"Whoever stands in my way will die!" Ximen Qing yelled violently, crashing headlong into the bandit's cavalry, slashing left and right with two snowflake iron goose feather knives, invincible, stirring up a bloodbath among the crowd.

Ximen Qing's guards also brandished knives and charged into the group of robbers, covering the sides behind Ximen Qing.

Ximenqing unstoppably killed more than ten people in a row, and the guards also killed many robbers.However, although the ferocious robbers retreated steadily, some people in the crowd encouraged themselves and did not disperse for a while. Ximen Qing and others immediately fell into a bitter battle by the river.

Ximenqing was secretly anxious, these Liaodong bandits were indeed braver than the bandits and bandits in the Song Dynasty.I killed more than a dozen people with my own hands. If they were small gangsters in the Song Dynasty, they should have been dispersed by this time, crying for their father and mother, and fled away, but these Liaodong thieves still had the courage to fight.

But at this moment, there was no longer any delay, Ximen Qing had already heard the sound of horseshoes behind him more and more clearly.As the brigade of thieves approaches, the morale of the bandits in front of them will also be boosted.The most urgent task is to quickly break down their morale and kill the thieves.

Ximen Qing took a closer look, and found that among the bandits was a bandit wearing a red turban, who was constantly boosting the morale of the bandits.This fellow may be the little leader of this group of thieves!

"Protect Alan and rush to the river!" After Ximen Qing roared, he swung his knife and killed the thief in the red turban.

"Block him!" The thief wearing a red turban shouted at the group of thieves around him after realizing that Ximen Qing was charging towards him.

However, Ximen Qing came fiercely, the two knives shone golden in the setting sun, and cut off the heads of four or five robbers in an instant.In the rain of blood, the bloody Ximen Qing rushed to the thief in the red turban.

Seeing Ximen Qing slashing at him with a knife, the thief hastily raised his knife to block it.Unexpectedly, what Ximen Qing held in his hand was a treasured iron sword that cut iron like mud, and cut off the knife in the thief's hand with one blow, and cut off half of his head along the way.

After the thief's horse was frightened, he took the leader of the thief who was missing half of his head and rushed for more than ten steps, and the thief just "plopped" and fell off the horse.

"Zhang Gou'er is dead! Zhang Gou'er has been killed!" Seeing that the leader was killed in less than a round under Ximen Qing's hands, the robbers finally lost their morale and fled around like headless chickens.Under the protection of the guards, Alan and others finally broke through the robbers' block, and rode straight towards Song Wajiang on horseback.

When Ximen Qing turned around and chased Boer Jijin?Ximen Qing slammed his horse's belly, chased after him, knocked the thief on the head with the back of his knife, knocked him out, then grabbed him with one arm, put him in front of the saddle bridge and rushed to the river.

The sound of "whoosh, whoosh~" pierced through the air, and Ximen Qing hurriedly leaned over to dodge, and at the same time danced in a ball behind him with a knife, flying all the arrows shot by the pursuers.

At this time, there was a scream in front of him, and then he heard Bo'er Jijin? Alan screamed: "Su He! Su He!"

Ximen Qing hurriedly rode his horse to catch up, but saw Boer Jijin? Alan's Mongolian follower Su He was shot by several arrows and fell in a pool of blood.Borjijin? Alan was resenting the pursuers with bows and arrows. Several guards and her remaining four Mongolian followers were firing arrows to cover Borjijin? Alan.

Behind him was the sound of horseshoes, like thunder.After hearing this, Ximen Qing knew that at least hundreds of riders were about to chase to the river.At this time, he didn't care to check if Su He was dead or alive, he rushed to Bo'er Jijin? Alan, pulled her horse and ran, and jumped into the Song Wa River.

Seeing this, the remaining guards and Mongols shot a round of arrows at the pursuers indiscriminately, and followed Ximen Qing and rushed to the shallows in the river.

Huo Jiuer, the leader of the thieves, put on his helmet and armor, and led hundreds of thieves on horseback to chase them to the riverside, but failed to catch up with Ximen Qing and the others. He shouted angrily, "Chasing! Go after them and kill them!"

The thieves heard that the people in front were the Mongols who had helped the Khitans defeat themselves and killed the leader Huo Liuge. All of them were red-eyed, and they waded across the river behind Ximen Qing and the others with strange screams. Can't give up.

Huo Jiu'er, the leader of the bandits, also resisted the sword, and led dozens of elite cronies in armor, and followed in the brigade to pursue across the river.

At this time, a cautious and meticulous thief stepped forward and persuaded: "Boss Huo, crossing the river is the territory of the Jurchens of the Kingdom of Jin, so the Jin army in Ningjiang Prefecture is not easy to provoke! Are we really going to cross the river?"

Huo Jiuer laughed and said: "This is still far from Ningjiang Prefecture! When the Jin army got the news and rushed over, I would have caught up and killed those Mongols long ago! By then, I won't be able to fly by myself with wings." Walk?"

Chapter 464 After the Strong Bow Breaks

"Boss Huo, those Mongols have all gone ashore. Even if the Jin army won't show up, can we still catch up?" The thief next to Huo Jiuer asked doubtfully again.

"Haha, what do you know! I just waited and waited to work in the village, and my horsepower and manpower are better than those Mongolians who traveled long distances. As long as I wait to the other side, it won't take long to catch up with those Mongolian dog thieves! These The dog thief has killed so many of my brothers, how can I, Huo Jiuer, let them run away!" Huo Jiuer said confidently, and walked towards Jiangxin with his men.

Just now, after persuading the thief Huo Jiuer to think about it, he thinks what the leader said is reasonable.Those Mongols are lackeys of the Khitan people, and they are enemies with the Jurchens of the Kingdom of Jin, so they must not dare to flee to where the Jin army is.And they traveled long distances and fought bloody battles by the river for so long, so they should be exhausted.As the leader said, as long as they have to cross the river, they can catch up with them in a short while and wipe out those Mongols.After thinking about this, the thief also held a long gun and joined the pursuit team on horseback.

At this time, hundreds of thieves who had just killed the Songwa River lined up in a long row, stepping on the river and rushing towards the east bank.The sun was setting and the moon was hanging in the sky. Huo Jiuer led more than [-] people from the former army to the center of the river, and the thieves behind were still waiting in line on the west bank of the river to cross the river.There were shadows on the surface of the river, people roaring and horses neighing, and the knives and guns radiated a frightening cold light in the night.

Huo Jiu'er was right. Ximen Qing and the others were not as powerful as the thieves behind them. They might be caught up by the thieves before returning to Ningjiang Prefecture.The robber Huo Jiu'er could figure it out, but how could Ximen Qing not know it?

After Ximenqing and his party landed on the east bank of the Songwa River, he immediately decided to let the four surviving Mongolian followers protect Bor Jijin? Alan rode back to Ningjiang Prefecture first, and he and his twelve guards stopped the robbers behind him on the river bank. , to cover Bo'er only Jin? Alan escaped.

Bo'er? Alan knew that he had to obey Ximen Qing's arrangement at this time, and he couldn't be willful anymore.She stepped forward to hug Ximen Qing affectionately, and whispered in his ear: "You must come back safely, Master!"

Bo'er Jijin? Alan's master's yell made Ximen Qing almost burn with desire, he hurriedly said to Bo'er Jijin? !"

The situation is urgent, Boer? Alan knew that the farther she went, the faster Ximen Qing and the others would retreat, so she got on her horse and flew away with four entourages full of scars.

Ximen Qing and others all jumped off their horses, stood in a row on the bank of the river with bows and arrows, drew their bows fully, and aimed at the robbers who had already crossed the middle of the river.The bow that a person can use while on the horse is weaker and less powerful than the bow that can be used while standing on the ground.So Ximen Qing and the twelve guards who returned to the ground were replaced with strong bows with a longer range, and they wanted to use this advantage to block the robbers on the river.

Ximen Qing dared to bring twelve people to stop hundreds of people here, of course he did not suffer from insanity.He crossed the Song Wa River twice back and forth, and had already learned the details of this shoal from the Mongolian population.The natural ferry here is actually a stone beam in the water, less than two feet wide, and can only accommodate five or six people riding together.On both sides of the stone beam, the depth of the water can be submerged, and the cavalry of the thieves cannot form a formation to cross the river.Ximen Qing is confident that he will hold this natural ferry before his hands become sore and weak that he can no longer draw the bow and shoot arrows.

How could Huo Jiu'er expect that the dozen or so people in front would not flee hastily after crossing the river, but would dare to stay and fight against him.He shouted loudly, telling the robbers in front to go ashore quickly and start chasing them.All of a sudden, there were only tragic screams coming from the front of the team, and the robbers fell down in the river one by one, and were mercilessly washed away by the river.

"Boss, look, those Mongolian thieves are hiding on the bank and shooting cold arrows!" An armored thief next to Huo Jiu'er pointed at the small slope on the east bank of the Song Wa River.

Huo Jiu'er looked intently under the moonlight, and sure enough, he saw more than a dozen black shadows drawing bows and firing arrows on a small soil slope on the river bank in front of him.

Accompanied by the shrill screams, when the brothers in front of him were still more than [-] feet away from the shore, they were shot off their horses one after another and were sucked into the dark river.The war horses without their masters lost their restraints and were running around in front of them. Some rushed to the bank of the river, some jumped into the depths of the river, and some rushed towards their own team behind.The team in front is already in a mess.

"Drive the horse away! Hurry up and go ashore, there are only a dozen or so dog thieves, and they are vulnerable!" Huo Jiuer yelled wildly.

Instigated by Huo Jiu'er, the bandits in front used their knives and guns to drive away the horses blocking the way, and rushed towards the east bank of the river.Unfortunately, under another round of attacks by Ximen Qing and the guards, more than a dozen robbers fell in front of them.Although it was less than [-] feet away from the shore, it was really difficult for the robbers to move forward for a while.

"Mongolian dog thieves are so hateful! Let's spread out and outflank the shore!" Among the robbers in front of them, a man who thought he was smart and wise suddenly shouted.

The robbers who were shot to death in front of Huo Jiuer seemed to have found a good way to break the deadlock. They drove their horses to both the upstream and downstream sides of Song Wajiang in a vain attempt to distance themselves and work together. Rush up the river bank.

In the dark night, how could the robbers see clearly that only the stone beam less than two feet wide in the water under their feet was shallow enough to wade across.When the robbers spread out to both sides, they suddenly stumbled and fell into the river in a series of "plop plop".Those who could swim struggled to climb up the stone beams, while those who could not swim sank into the river.This time, Huo Jiuer lost dozens of people.

Seeing the tragic situation in front, the robbers at the back all looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering and uncertain, and lost their vigor just now.

How could Huo Jiu'er give up on this, swallowed the suffocation in his chest, looked around, and said to the armored men beside him: "A few Mongolian thieves and a few broken bows can stop me from waiting for the good guys under Brother Huo Liu. ? I wait for everyone to wear heavy armor, afraid of him? You all follow me and kill him!"
