Chapter 165 Risking death out of the city (2)
Chapter 165 Rising your life out of the city (2)
The soldiers on the five small boats were still rowing hard, and the small boats rushed towards the direction of the Yuan army like sharp arrows.
The surrendered Yuan army on the shore stood up when they saw a ship rushing to the scene.
The generals in the army shouted a few words, and the soldiers gathered on the shore, drew bows and arrows, and aimed at the five small boats that were rising and falling in the turbulent flow.
Wen Qi gritted his teeth, squatted at the bow of the boat, pressed his upper body slightly down, and shouted in a low voice: "Shield!"
The elite soldiers who heard his shout took out the shield from their feet and held it in their hands.
"put!"
When the small boat led by him was only a few dozen meters away from the Yuan army soldiers, the Yuan army general waved his hand and shouted suddenly.
Hundreds of arrows shot towards the five small boats with great force.
Two elite soldiers on the ship sat on the left and right, protecting their shields to the side, while one in the middle protected their shields above their heads. This almost protected them in groups.
But they did not have the extra energy to control the boat, and they could only follow the waves.
The arrow hit the shield and made a clanging sound. The arrows were extremely powerful, and the feathers still trembled continuously after entering the wood.
The shield could not be connected without any gaps, and there was still some gap in the end. An elite soldier on the small boat was shot by an arrow passing through the gap, and suddenly he groaned and fell sideways into the river.
His death caused the entire boat to be imbalanced. He first tilted to the left, then was hit by a big wave, and suddenly fell to the right.
The other four elite soldiers of Xingguo Army on the ship were specially selected by people with great water skills and soon emerged from the turbid river water.
However, they were arrows.
Mongolia is a nomadic tribe. The soldiers on the shore are all Mongolians, with outstanding riding skills and even more shooting skills.
Four soldiers emerged one after another, and were shot through by the Yuan army with arrows, screaming and sinking again.
Bright red blood gushed out of the yellow river water, so shocking.
Wen Qi kept roaring, "Quick! Quick! Quick!"
But the river was too turbulent. In less than two minutes, two small boats capsized into the river one after another.
The soldiers who fell into the water also failed to escape the arrows of the Yuan army.
A bunch of blood was freed up, like a wild azalea in the mountains.
When they crossed the Yuan army's defense line, only two small boats were left, swaying left and right in the turbulent river, and there was a danger of capsizing at any time.
Wen Qi hid in the shield, unable to hear the sound of arrows falling into the woods, and suddenly threw the shield away and shouted: "Go forward with all your might!"
The four soldiers on the side hurriedly threw away the shield, picked up the slurry and slashed hard.
Whether Pingnan can survive in a desperate situation depends on them. When they left Pingnan County, they were determined to die.
When the Yuan army soldiers saw the boat running out of the arrow range, the commander shouted and all came up to chase him.
Wen Qi looked back, but saw the small boat behind him also hitting the rocks in the river, and immediately disintegrated.
A soldier was thrown out of the boat, his head hit the stone, splashing blood, and sinking into the river.
Many soldiers of the Yuan army suddenly stopped their horses. When elite soldiers emerged from the river, the arrows roared towards them with the sound of breaking through the air.
"Damn it!"
Wen Qi cursed angrily, his eyes red.
But these elite soldiers bought some time for their boat.
Although the war horses of the Yuan army soldiers were fast, they were not as fast as small boats like arrows in the boat. Wenqi's ship was moving further and further along the river.
By the open area, the force of the arrows was no longer enough to hit the boat.
The leader snorted and waved his hand to retreat with his soldiers.
Wen Qi squatted at the bow of the boat, staring at the front with his eyes tightly. He wished that Junjin County would appear in front of him at this time.
At some point, their ships sank in the Xun River.
Wen Qi fell into the water and soon emerged and paddled towards the shore. Because the river was turbulent, he swam so hard.
When he finally arrived at the shore, he looked back at the river, and there was only one elite soldier left behind. The other three soldiers were not sure whether they drowned or were washed away by the river.
He flowed back into the river and took the nearly exhausted soldiers to the shore.
"call……"
When they got ashore again, both of them were exhausted and were lying on the gravel on the shore, panting.
The thunder was thrown constantly and the sky was constantly flashing with purple lightning.
The heavy rain hit my face with a little burning pain.
After a few minutes of rest, Wen Qi stood up and said, "Go!"
The soldiers also stood up, and the two were wet, walking downstream along the river.
After not long walking, Wen Qi frowned and said, "This won't work! We can't walk like this, and I don't know when we will arrive in Hanjin."
The soldier asked, "What's the idea of the Major General?"
Wenqi looked at the more lush forests on the shore under the rain, "Let's go to the shore to see if we can find a village and borrow a horse."
The soldiers had no idea, so they followed Wenqi to the jungle.
Fortunately, they were lucky. They didn't have time to travel for a long time, and they saw a village not far from the riverside.
The two hurriedly ran to the entrance of the village, but when they arrived at the entrance, they were stopped by several township heroes holding homemade iron guns. "Who is it?"
Wen Qi looked at the evil spirit on the faces of these local heroes, and felt sad and thought it was not good.
This is not like an ordinary villager, but more like a bandit.
Looking at the several arrow towers standing in the village, I was even more worried that this was clearly a bandit’s nest.
In this era, there were not many such bandit nests. In the chaotic times, many people would organize their own armed forces.
He was stunned and said, "We are soldiers of Xingguo Army. How dare you ask about the names of all heroes?"
The man who stopped them showed suspicion in his eyes, "Xingguo Army is in Pingnan County, how did you come here?"
Wen Qi had no choice but to know that if he didn't explain it clearly, he wouldn't be able to get out of the way, so he said, "The county town was besieged by the Yuan army, so we risked our lives to go out of the city for help."
The leader looked at him carefully and waved his hand, "Take them in and let the master interrogate."
Wen Qi felt a little relieved when he heard him say "Master". It seemed that this was not a bandit, but a village hero with a powerful organization.
At this moment, he did not resist and allowed several village heroes to take their own responsibilities.
When we arrived at a house deep in the village, birds sing and flowers were fragrant in the house, and the arrangement was quite elegant, and they were taken to the main hall inside.
There was a person sitting in the main hall, an old man wearing a navy blue silk gown, and there was another person standing, but he was a girl as beautiful as a flower.
The township besieged Wen Qi and the soldiers and said to the old man: "Master, these two people claim to be soldiers from Xingguo Army who went out of the city to report their news. Please decide."
"Soldiers of Xingguo Army?"
