Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 45
"Wouldn't it be a bit immoral for us to leave like this?"

"What is moral or immoral? I have been on the mountain for three years, and I don't teach any martial arts. The elders always let me carry water to irrigate the ground. Why should I die like this?"

"That's right, they only care about those who have gone up the mountain since they were young, and we are just doing odd jobs."

"Anyway, I don't want to die at the hands of Zhenbei Army."

A group of Yunshan sect disciples who were about to leave along the back mountain path said as they walked.

Most of them are outer disciples, and there is a big gap in treatment compared with inner disciples and personal disciples, and they are dissatisfied on weekdays.Now that things are in dire straits, naturally they will not choose to live and die with the sect.

If you insist on persecuting them, it may cause civil strife instead.

Presumably, the head of the sect, Liu Yunfeng, and the elders also understood this, so they let them leave if they wanted to.

"These guys..."

Behind the crowd, Zhu Xu's eyes were red, and he clenched his fists as he listened to other people's slander against the sect.

He wished he could rush up to argue with them, but the second senior sister Wang Qing beside him stopped him and said, "Junior brother, don't be impulsive."

"Second Senior Sister! You heard what they said about the sect master and elders!"

"...Anyway, after they leave the mountain, they won't call themselves 'disciples of the Yunshan sect'. It's equivalent to quitting the sect, so they can say whatever they like."

"But..." Zhu Xu felt that what Wang Qing said made sense, and his expression darkened.

"It would be great if master and brother were still there..."

"Junior Brother, Master fought desperately for the chance to survive for us. We must cherish it. After we get down from the mountain, we will go to the Central Plains together and practice martial arts well. In the future, we must avenge our master and our brothers."

"Ok!"

The two made up their minds and quickened their pace.

A group of people walked along the back mountain path, and soon came to a cliff position.

Here is the secret way down the mountain.

Ordinary people can't get through here, but most of them practice martial arts and have lightness kung fu. If they are more cautious, they can still go on safely.

But some people with low martial arts and poor lightness skills have to find vines, tie them around tree trunks, throw them down the cliff, and climb down.

For a moment, the disciples who were good at lightness kung fu stepped down the cliff with lightness kung fu.

Others grabbed the vines and climbed down a little bit.

Both Zhu Xu and Wang Qing's Qinggong are not bad, so naturally they won't climb down slowly.

The two performed lightness kung fu, came down from the cliff, and landed on a rock.

Looking up, there is a dense forest in front of you. Through the dense forest, you will find the road on the south side of Cangzhang County. You can go deep into Mozhou along the road to the Central Plains.

Soon, all the disciples came down from the cliff, and some unlucky ones fell to their deaths because they failed to grasp properly while climbing down.

Apart from exclaiming in surprise, the other disciples didn't say much.

He didn't even bother to bury it.

Now that things have happened, everyone just wants to get away from this Daogou Mountain as soon as possible. As for other people, they don't care about it at all.

A group of people entered the dense forest with front and back.

Zhu Xu and Wang Qing came down early and walked in front, Zhu Xu said: "Senior sister, where do you think we are going in the Central Plains?"

Wang Qing shook his head: "I don't know either."

The two of them were at a loss about the future. They said they would go to the Central Plains, but the Central Plains was so big that they had no idea where to go.

"Let's go to Liyang!" Zhu Xu's face showed longing. "Master said before that Liyang is the place with the most people in the world. There are dozens of martial arts schools in the city! Wherever we go, we can do better." Practice martial arts!"

"Well, it's really good to go there." Wang Qing said.

Zhu Xu said: "When we get to Liyang, first make a tomb for the master and brothers, and then..."

call out!
A piercing sound came suddenly!

Wang Qing was startled: "Be careful!"

puff!
The arrow sank into Zhu Xu's throat in an instant, and before the latter finished speaking, he was knocked to the ground by the arrow's huge momentum.

Holding the sharp arrow in both hands, he said "ho ho": "Master, sister... save..."

This arrow seemed to be a signal, and immediately after that, a large number of piercing sounds continued to sound.

There were also screams one after another.

"what!"

"There is an ambush! There is an ambush in the woods!"

"Run back quickly!!"

"It's the Zhenbei Army! Ah!!!"

Shhhhhhhhhhhh!

puff puff puff...

Lots, lots, lots!
The sound of sharp arrows piercing the air, the sound of arrows entering the body, and the sound of arrows hitting tree trunks continued one after another.

There were at least hundreds of people ambushing in the forest, and a round of sneak attack took the lives of 50 to [-] people.

"No! Junior brother!"

Wang Qing was lucky enough not to be hit by the first round of arrow rain, she threw herself on the dying Zhu Xu, and burst into tears.

Her mind is in a mess now, and she doesn't understand why there are ambushes here.

You must know that very few people know about this cliff, even the people of the Yunshan faction usually don't leave, how did the Zhenbei Army know?

She also remembered Liu Yunfeng's previous explanation that the two of them are the last traces left by Layman Xuanzhu. If they die, Layman Xuanzhu will not only lose the Four Seasons Sword Art, but even the traces of existence will disappear completely...

"click"

A sound came from not far behind, bringing Wang Qing back to his senses.She knew that it was the sound of the crossbow being re-wound and ready to fire.

"I fight with you!!!"

She didn't run away because she knew it was useless.He just got up and rushed towards the Zhenbei Army in the rear, hoping to kill a few more enemies before he died.

And what greeted her was only a new wave of arrows.

"No, I don't want to die!"

"Go away! Don't get in my way!"

"They are going to catch up, hurry up and climb!!"

The dozens of disciples who did not die in the first round of arrow rain all ran back the same way.

They ran back to the bottom of the cliff, the vines were still there, and these people scrambled to snatch them, to be the first to climb up.

But everyone wants to be in the front, and for a while you pull and fight, and fight together.

Some disciples with high martial arts and good lightness skills want to jump up the cliff in the air, but it is easy to get down from the top, but it is difficult to go up from the bottom.

There were only two or three people who had hope, and just as they were about to reach the top, another round of dense arrow rain covered them and shot them in midair.

"No!"

"Forgive your life! Forgive your life!"

Seeing that the soldiers in the dense forest had already caught up, the disciples who had no time to escape knelt down and begged for mercy.

But it was useless, because Su Yuan temporarily handed over the command of this army to Shen Lian.

And the order Shen Lian gave them was to lie in ambush in the dense forest, and anyone who came down from the cliff would be shot and killed.

Therefore, these summoned soldiers who were Xiliang iron cavalry didn't know what begging for mercy was at all. They pulled their engines expressionlessly and harvested all the lives of the remaining people.

Another round of arrow rain.

It was completely quiet now.

Afterwards, the soldiers put away their crossbows, pulled out their ring-shoulders, and began to check them separately.When it is found that someone is alive or pretending to be dead, another knife will be added.

Soon, the inspection is complete.

None of the hundreds of Yunshan disciples survived or ran away, and the soldiers perfectly completed the tasks assigned to them by Shen Lian.Then they silently retreated into the dense forest without saying a word.
