A knife in love

Chapter 347

While Murong Danyan followed Li Qiufeng and Zhu San's family, he kept looking at the snakes on both sides.Driven by the piccolos of the beggar gang, the snakes were still swimming, and under the light of the torches, the scales of the snakes shone with a strange light, like a black river, constantly rolling and surging.

At this time, Li Qiufeng and the others had withdrawn from the encirclement of the officers and soldiers. They were blocked by the snakes, but the officers and soldiers did not dare to chase them, so they had to watch helplessly as they left.Deng Yao laughed loudly, and said to Li Qiufeng: "Did you see, these boys stare at each other, they have nothing to do with us..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of horseshoes in the northeast direction, and then five or six riders came rushing forward, the first one put on his helmet and armor, but it was a military officer.This person rushed to the front, held up the command flag with his right hand, and shouted loudly: "Tell you Hu Zongbing to come out and speak!"

Li Qiufeng's heart trembled, knowing that things had changed, he was about to speak, but Zhu Sanjia said anxiously: "It seems that the officers and soldiers are about to attack, let's retreat!"

Li Qiufeng nodded, and said to Deng Yao: "Master Deng, let's go quickly, there can be no further delay!"

Seeing that Li Qiufeng and Zhu Sanjia looked anxious, Deng Yao also knew that the situation was not good, so he ordered the beggar gang to leave quickly.After listening to Deng Yao's order, the beggars playing the piccolo's flute suddenly turned into a rush, and saw the swarm of snakes tumbling, and the two teams of "Snake River" instantly merged, separating the crowd from the officers and soldiers Come.

Everyone turned and ran.At this moment, the sound of feathered arrows piercing the air behind them was heard loudly, and everyone turned pale with fright, and hurriedly turned around. At first, they only heard a strange sound, and in the blink of an eye, countless feathered arrows appeared in the black night sky, shooting straight at Everyone's heads fell.

Everyone hastily unleashed their weapons, striking the rain of arrows that rained down on them.It's just that these thousands of feather arrows fell down together, and the distance between the two sides was so close, five or six beggar gang members were shot and fell to the ground immediately.

Murong Danyan saw that not far away a Beggar Clan disciple was hit by several arrows in the shoulder, screamed and fell to the ground, but he didn't die, he struggled and crawled back on the ground.She swung her sword and hit the feather arrows flying over her head and in front of her, while running towards the beggar gang disciple, trying to rescue him.Unexpectedly, there was another rain of arrows. The beggar gang disciple was seriously injured, and the wooden stick in his hand was thrown aside. How could he block the feathered arrows?In an instant, dozens of feathered arrows hit his face and body, and he was shot like a hedgehog, killing him immediately.

Seeing this tragic situation, Murong Danyan's face turned pale with fright, and his hands were a little slow. Immediately, two feathered arrows passed through the circle of light created by the long sword in her hand, and shot straight at her chest.In a crisis, she fell backwards, and with a "swish", two feathered arrows flew past her face.

Li Qiufeng stepped back while waving his knife to block the arrows.Only the screams could be heard incessantly, more than a dozen disciples of the Beggar Clan died under the arrows of officers and soldiers.Those members of the beggar gang who used piccolos to drive the snakes had already been shot down by the officers and soldiers' feather arrows, and the snakes had no one to drive them, and they immediately became chaotic.Some swam around, some lingered in place, and some actually bit each other.

Deng Yao saw the disciples of the Beggars' Society keep falling down, and was furious in his heart. He waved the dog-beating stick in his hand, and wanted to go back to avenge the disciples of the Beggars' Society.Li Qiufeng shouted loudly: "Master Deng, don't be arrogant! Let's run away quickly..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw a row of officers and soldiers raising their torches and throwing them towards the chaotic group of snakes.Snakes are afraid of fire, but at this moment they lost the impetus of the flute of the disciples of the beggars' sect, and immediately fled in all directions.The second row of officers and soldiers rushed up again, throwing the torches in their hands to the snakes.After several times in succession, the snake group has been driven back five or six zhang.

Seeing that the snake array had been broken, Deng Yao knew that it was impossible to stop the officers and soldiers, so he had to turn around and run with Li Qiufeng.Most of the more than 20 beggar gang members under him were shot to death by the officers and soldiers, but the remaining five or six beggar gang disciples were all wounded by arrows.Li Qiufeng ran at the end, knocking the flying feather arrows away with the Xiuchun knife in his hand as he ran.

At this moment of life and death, everyone used lightness kung fu and rushed forward desperately.Although the officers and soldiers behind them used torches to drive the snakes back, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one commanding them, they were unable to catch up for a while.After a while, the distance between the two sides had widened to forty or fifty zhang. Although the officers and soldiers were still shooting arrows, the feather arrows were already weak when they hit the front, and even if they fell on the body, they couldn't hurt anyone.Li Qiufeng made a calculation in his heart, it seemed that the officers and soldiers would not be able to catch up for a while, as long as everyone retreated into the valley, there was no need to be afraid of the officers and soldiers.

At this moment, only the earth-shattering sound of horseshoes sounded from behind.Zhu Sanjia's complexion changed drastically, and he said in a trembling voice: "No, the horse army of officers and soldiers has caught up!"

Li Qiufeng looked up, but saw the officers and soldiers separated to the left and right, and dozens of cavalry officers and soldiers could be seen charging up from a distance.Li Qiufeng said to Deng Yao: "Master Deng, take the brothers of your gang back quickly!"

Deng Yao shook his head: "You go back first, let our beggar gang end its heir!"

Li Qiufeng said anxiously: "The remaining brothers of your gang are injured, you should take them away first!"

After he finished speaking, he said to Murong Danyan and Zhu Sanjia: "You go first with Chief Deng..."

Before he finished speaking, Murong Danyan said stubbornly: "I won't go!"

Li Qiufeng was furious, and shouted at Murong Danyan: "You must go!"

At this time, dozens of cavalry officers and soldiers in the lead had rushed into the snake group, trampling under the iron hooves, the blood and flesh of the poisonous snakes flew across the ground, and the momentum was extremely alarming.After the dozens of cavalry troops, there was a faint loud noise, and a large group of cavalry rushed over.

Seeing the power of the cavalry of the officer army, everyone's expressions changed drastically.

Li Qiufeng said to everyone: "This is not the time to give way, if we delay any longer, everyone will die here!"

Deng Yao held the Dog Beating Gang in his right hand, and said in a deep voice: "For hundreds of years, the disciples of the Beggar Gang have first resisted the Golden Dog and then rejected the Tartars. Countless ancestors are not afraid of swords and guns. If I take my brother and leave first, the beggar Gangzhen has become a shameless villain, what face does he have to stand between the heavens and the earth?!"

After he finished speaking, he swung the dog-beating stick in his hand and shouted sharply: "The disciples of the Beggar Clan obey the order, today we will fight to the death with these thieves, so as not to fall into the reputation of our Beggar Clan for hundreds of years!"

As soon as the words fell, Deng Yao leaned forward and went straight to meet the horse team that was rushing forward.When the five or six disciples of the Beggars' Clan saw the leader rushing out, their chests were full of pride, and they also rushed forward with Deng Yao.

After taking five or six steps, Deng Yao didn't stop on his feet, turned his head around, and shouted to Li Qiufeng and the other three, "Go first, don't worry about us!"

Li Qiufeng saw that the members of the Beggar Clan went to die generously, so he was not willing to escape alone, so he turned his head and said to Murong Danyan: "You and Big Brother Zhu go first, I will help the leader Deng!"

Before he could finish his sentence, he immediately rushed forward to grab it.At this time, the cavalry of officers and soldiers had approached Deng Yao.The cavalry on the horse brandished a broadsword and slashed straight at Deng Yao.Hearing a roar from Deng Yao, he suddenly pulled himself up, and the dog-fighting gang in his hand struck down in the air, hitting an officer and soldier's sky cap.The officer and soldier screamed, and his body fell from the horse to the ground.Being trampled by the horses behind him, he lost his human form in an instant.

Deng Yao killed a cavalryman and fell from the air, only to hear the sound of horseshoes like thunder, and five or six horsemen came in front of him again.Deng Yao spun around sharply, jumped up again, and slashed at the five or six officers and soldiers on horseback with a "horrific recruiting thousands of troops" move with the dog-beating stick in his hand.One officer and soldier was knocked off his horse by him, but the remaining officers and soldiers brandished big knives and went straight to meet his dog-beating stick.These cavalrymen had superb riding skills. With the impact force of their mounts, although they did not have advanced martial arts skills, the strength when they swung their swords was astonishing.The dog-beating stick in Deng Yao's hand collided with the broadsword in the hands of an officer and soldier, and he felt a pain in the tiger's mouth. The dog-beating stick couldn't be held immediately, and it flew out with a "hoo".The big knife in the officer's hand was also released by Deng Yaozhen, the blade turned around, just cut across the officer's neck, and immediately cut off the officer's head.I saw the head flying out, but the body of the officer and soldier was still riding on the horse, still rushing forward with the mount, this situation is really extremely strange.

The dog-beating stick in Deng Yao's hand flew out, and under the impact of the cavalry, he staggered back three or four steps.At this time, several cavalrymen rushed in front of him, and the broadsword in their hands flashed coldly, and they slashed straight at the top of his head.

At this moment, two disciples of the Beggar Clan rushed behind Deng Yao. Seeing that the leader had lost his weapon and was in danger, they hurried forward and used their sticks to block the swords cut by the officers and soldiers.It's just that the impact of these cavalrymen was very violent. Just as the two beggar gang disciples raised the sticks in their hands, they were knocked down by the galloping army horses.

With a flash, Deng Yao passed between the two cavalrymen.Seeing the death of two disciples of the beggar sect, he felt a pain in his heart. With a tiger roar, he punched out, hitting the belly of a military horse passing by him.The horse hissed for a long time, its head tilted, and collided with the head of a horse next to it.The two horses galloped so fast that when they collided, their skulls shattered and fell to the ground one after another.The two cavalrymen on the horse fell over with their mounts and were instantly trampled by other army horses. They only uttered two screams before they died.

In the blink of an eye, the five or six disciples of the Beggars' Clan who rushed towards the officers and soldiers with Deng Yao all died under the iron hooves of the officers and soldiers' cavalry.Only Deng Yao was left, dodging among dozens of riders.Although his martial arts are high, but in front of the fierce cavalry, he is like a small boat in the rough sea, the situation is extremely urgent.

Li Qiufeng had also arrived at this time, seeing five or six cavalry officers and soldiers rushing forward, he swung his left hand, and more than ten copper coins shot out, the five or six cavalry officers and soldiers screamed and fell off their horses one after another.When an officer and soldier fell down, his left foot was still in the stirrup, and he was dragged forward by the horse. He was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder were torn apart, he opened his mouth and shouted for help, but unexpectedly the horse's rear foot raised and then fell, kicking In the face of this officer and soldier, he immediately kicked a big hole in his face.The officer and soldier's cry for help suddenly stopped, the body dragged behind the mount, rolled forward and rushed out.
