Chapter 210 The Red-Haired Ghost (please vote, please subscribe)

After a short night's rest.

Everyone continued on their way.

In order to repay his kindness, Han Qianye strongly requested that they be sent to Xixia before breaking up, and that he should give the gold flower and silver leaf chariot to Wu Gong.

Wu Gong and the others happened to not find a suitable carriage, so they did not refuse.

Everyone was careful along the way.

I'm afraid I'll meet someone who wants to make a dragon-slaying knife.

Yin Susu was still tied up like a rice dumpling.

Originally, Wu Gong didn't want to treat her so harshly, after all, they didn't have any grudges.

But who would have thought that Yin Susu would be so shameless.

On the first day after being released from bondage, I thought about running away.

It was Dai Qisi who caught her and prevented her from running away successfully.

Then he simply tied her up again.

Even when eating, drinking, and taking conveniences, a rope must be tied around the neck.

In the first few days, there were almost no dangers on the road.

But then everything was different.

As the news of the Dragon Slaying Knife was deliberately spread by people who were interested.

Some strange people began to appear on the road.

Much like a spy or something.

Li Mochou had the idea that she would rather kill someone by mistake than let him go.

Any suspicious person found will be killed without mercy.

This approach is indeed a bit cruel, but the advantage is that in the past few days, I have not encountered anyone who came up with the idea of ​​​​slaying the dragon knife.

However, for safety reasons, after discovering that someone was paying attention to them, everyone concentrated on their way, and the big car shop was no longer there.

Only when the horse is too tired to stand it.

Only then would he take a rest in the woods in the wilderness.

Once the horses have regained their strength, they will hit the road again.

In this way, everyone walked towards Xixia day and night, covered with stars and moon.

This morning.

Just after eating dry food, the carriage started again.

But before he could go too far, a harsh sound came from the distance.

"Bang bang bang!"

"what sound!"

The carriage stopped slowly.

Everyone got off the carriage.

There was a continuous crackling sound in the distance.

Kind of like firecrackers.

But the sound was extremely loud.

Every sound was like thunder.

Wu Gong raised his eyebrows.

If he guessed correctly, it should be the sound of gunshots!

"It's the sound of a fire gun!" Su Quan listened silently for a moment and gave an accurate answer: "I have heard this kind of thing at sea. It is a weapon equipped on foreign merchant ships. It is more powerful than The bow and arrow are large and can be used normally by ordinary people.

However, it is particularly susceptible to moisture, and loading ammunition is very troublesome. Shenlong Cult once purchased a batch, but in the end, they were used as long sticks. Because loading ammunition not only requires a lot of time, but also requires extremely high technology and operating methods.

It is very cumbersome and not as easy to use as a bow and arrow.

However, pirates especially like to use this kind of thing, because bows and arrows are not very accurate when the sea is rough, and this weapon has a wide attack range, so it can cause great damage upon first contact. "

"In addition to pirates, red-haired ghosts also like to use this kind of weapon very much." Dai Qisi added, "Most of the Qing Dynasty's attention has been attracted by red-haired ghosts. Otherwise, this I will definitely seize the opportunity to go south once.”

"Red-haired ghost?" This was not the first time Wu Gong heard this name. He understood that it referred to those old men in the north. However, this place is in the Central Plains. Even though it is now under the control of the Qing Dynasty, they should not appear here. Is it a blunderbuss of the Qing Dynasty?

"Bang bang bang!"

The sound in the distance is getting louder and louder, and it seems that it is moving this way.

Wu Gong raised his eyebrows.

"Let's hide for a while."

Along with these words came out.

Everyone started to take action.

The carriage was quickly led into the nearby woods, covered with branches and fallen leaves.

Li Mochou waved the whisk in her hand, completely sweeping away the shallow carriage marks on the ground.

People either climbed up trees or hid in the grass on the roadside to hide themselves.

Soon, the entire official road was empty and there was no sound at all.

However, not long after, the sound of rapid horse hooves was heard in the distance.

Moreover, the sound of firecrackers also continued to sound.

As they got closer, everyone could even hear the sound of bowstrings being pulled.

Wu Gong grinned.

The place where they are now is called Hebei East Road. Not far ahead is Daming Mansion. After passing Daming Mansion, it takes a few days' journey to leave the area controlled by the Qing Dynasty and enter Xixia.

There is no need to be so nervous next, because Wang Yuyan's uncle is the current King of Xixia. The Five Lotus Buddha Mothers have been transmitted through the channels of the White Lotus Sect on the way. It is expected that as soon as they enter Xixia, they will be protected by Xixia officers and soldiers. Wugong was thinking in his mind.

Dust visible to the naked eye finally appeared on the official road in the distance.

Several tall red horses carried seven or eight red-haired men and women wearing strange-looking armor, galloping on the official road. They are not Han people, but Rakshasa people. They all have high nose bridges, wheat-colored skin, and are not very good-looking. The only things worth noting are their blue eyes and long, smooth red hair.

As they ran, they skillfully loaded gunpowder on their horses and kept shooting back.

The target they were shooting at was a group of Manchu Eight Banners cavalry wearing white armor. They were the Zhengbai Banner cavalry among the Manchu Eight Banners.

Compared with the red-haired Rakshasa ghosts who were running and escaping in embarrassment in front of them, these cavalrymen appeared more calm and leisurely. They were like hunters who were fully sure of catching their prey. They were already confident and sure of victory.

The leader was a general with white fur on his head. He took out an arrow from the arrow basket on his back, bent the bow and nocked an arrow. The bowstring was stretched like a full moon, and he pointed it at the red-haired Rakshasa ghost in front of him who was turning around to shoot.

"Oh!"

"Whoosh!"

The sounds of gunpowder and bowstrings sounded almost at the same time.

The Manchu general dodged the speeding bullet with a glance of his head, but the red-haired ghost was not so lucky. He was shot directly by the arrow in the arm and was nailed to the horse's back. The big red horse was in pain and let out a pitiful cry. With a flick of its back, the red-haired ghost flew off its back.

It fell among the trees.

The red-haired ghosts running ahead saw their companions landing.

I don't know if he was stimulated, but he suddenly turned his horse's head and stopped running. Instead, he pulled out the saber from his waist and rushed straight towards the Manchu soldiers who were obviously more than twice the number.

Their backs were straight, and the muscles on their bodies were ferocious. Even though they were wearing weird clothes, the muscles on their bodies were still vividly displayed. They were obviously not ordinary people.

That's right, how could ordinary people survive being chased by the Manchu cavalry for such a long time?

The Manchu cavalry saw them and rushed forward.

One by one, they smiled and drew out their swords, preparing to kill these red-haired ghosts with their hands.

Rakshasa is at war with the Manchus.

Don't look at the fact that the Rakshasa had the upper hand on the frontal battlefield, relying on guns and artillery to suppress the Manchus.

But the Manchu Qing Dynasty also had its own specialty-sneak attacks.

Through small-scale infiltration, the Manchus entered the Rakshasa's rear supply line.

Sneak attacks and hunting began, which made the red-haired Rakshasa ghost miserable.

The advantage they originally had was gradually being exhausted.

In order to maintain their advantage, Rakshasa learned from the Manchu and Qing Dynasties and sent a large number of cavalry. Through the loopholes in the Manchu and Qing defense lines, they wanted to sneak attack on the supply lines behind the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. This is what happened in front of them.

However, these Rakshasa red-haired ghosts are a little too deep.

We are almost reaching the Central Plains area. If we go further, we will reach the seaside.

None of the people hiding in the woods had any intention of taking action.

Although these red-haired Rakshasa ghosts were all commendable for their courage, it was a pity that they were no match for the Eight Banners cavalry who were twice as many in number and possessed martial arts skills. They were all quickly captured alive. .

The Manchu and Qing cavalry did not kill them, but prepared to take them away as prisoners.

But no one expected that a red-haired ghost whose hands and feet had been tied suddenly broke free from the rope and ran towards the woods.

The Manchu and Qing cavalry laughed but did not pursue him. Instead, they drew their bows in unison.

There are too many prisoners, no matter if there is one less, you can still receive the reward by taking the head back.

"Whoever shoots his hand, this guy's head will belong to him." The general did not raise his bow, because he knew that as long as he participated in this bet, the winner would definitely be him. This was very boring, and besides, he It's not much less than a small bounty, just treat it as a reward for your subordinates.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The dense arrow feathers were shot at the escaping red-haired ghost. The latter fled in a panic and kept twisting his body. This guy was actually not an ordinary person, but a warrior. It seemed that he knew some Qinggong.

But unfortunately, with the help of the three-legged cat's Qinggong, he was quickly shot in the arm and staggered to the ground.

But the Manchu and Qing cavalry did not stop, but continued to draw their bows and arrows. Their goal was to shoot through the palm of the red-haired ghost.

Arrows pierced the air again.

The Manchu and Qing cavalry were not bad at archery. After all, they were a nation on horseback.

But because of chasing for days, he was already exhausted.

Each one's accuracy has deteriorated, and the strength in his hands has begun to lose weight.

No, an arrow missed the target and hit a treetop not far away.

Coincidentally, Zhao Tianyou was hiding there.

It looked like a long arrow flying by itself.

Zhao Tianyou stretched out his palm to grab it.

This little girl is so bold. She has only practiced kung fu for a few days, and she is so confident that she wants to grab a sharp bow and arrow with her hands.

Li Mochou shook her head helplessly and waved the fly whisk to fly away the arrow.

The Manchu cavalry shooting arrows did not notice this.

But the Manchu general frowned.

Pick up the bow and arrow and shoot another arrow at the top of the tree.

Everyone let out a long sigh.

Five shadows floated down from the treetops.

"There's someone else!"

The Manchu and Qing cavalry suddenly showed panicked expressions.

But they didn't have time to react.

The sharp sword light had covered everything in their eyes.

(happy to hear and see)
