Chapter 40: The galloping horse(2/2)
The real defense will be centered on Guanyin Hall. But before retreating to Guanyin Hall, Yan Qing and others must fight for enough time.
Zheng Yanqing said: "Pei Zi, come here."
"Master Zheng, what are your instructions?"
“I came up with an idea that might make one person stand out.
But after breaking through, the rest of the people can only stand here. If reinforcements can arrive in time, everyone can save their lives; but if reinforcements do not arrive in time, then we may... all have to be explained in the damn ancient temple."
Everyone's faces changed and they looked at Zheng Yanqing quietly.
"My nephew, what can I do? It's okay to just say it."
"Pei Zi is a retainer of Mr. Pei, and I believe he also carries the Pei waist card with you. You have the best martial arts skills and rich experience, so you can ride my jade hooves out. I will find a way to open a path for you. Are you willing?"
"I?"
"It's you!"
Pei Zi initially thought that Zheng Yanqing wanted to send others to break through. After all, he was not from the Zheng clan, so Zheng Yanqing could not consider him. But he knew that Zheng Yanqing actually chose Pei Zi... Xie Hong couldn't help but secretly praise him.
Who will the Zheng clan members fight out?
No one will feel comfortable if anyone breaks through. If you don’t do it well, it will make the Zheng clan members feel resentment.
Pei Zi is different. First of all, he is not a member of the Zheng clan, and secondly, he is a retainer of the Pei clan in Hedong.
His martial arts are similar to Xie Hong, but if Xie Hong goes out, they may not take it seriously. After all, a child of aristocratic clan who has been in decline for nearly a hundred years is far inferior to a member of aristocratic clan who is in full swing and is on the rise.
The Xie family is not as good as the Zheng family, nor is it as good as the Pei family in Hedong.
Therefore, no matter from which aspect, Pei Zi’s breakthrough is the best choice.
The Zheng clan members would not have any objections. The young master of their family is still here, and everyone has the surname Zheng, and no one is higher or lower.
So, when Zheng Yanqing made the decision, no one of the Zheng clan members stood up to oppose it.
Yan Qing was even more decisive. Seeing that everyone was not opposed, he immediately ordered people to pull out all the horses in the stable and concentrate them in the ancient temple. Then, he asked someone to find dry firewood and hay from the ancient temple and tied them to the war horses. At this time, the bandits outside the mountain gate had no movement. Zheng Yanqing looked outside and saw a group of thieves kneeling on the ground, as if praying.
Shen Guang led the jade hooves over, put one hand around its neck, and gently patted its huge head with the other.
"Yu Tier, be obedient, my brother's life will be entrusted to you."
As he said that, he signaled Pei Zi to get on the horse.
Yu Tier seemed to understand what Zheng Yanqing meant, and stepped on the hooves repeatedly, shaking his head and waving his tail.
Those misty eyes were filled with a hint of reluctance.
"You guys, in the past, Tian Dan defeated the Yan army with the Fire Cattle Formation and recovered more than 70 cities; now we want to use this Fire Horse Formation to seek a glimmer of life. Pei Zi, all thirty or forty names here can be handed over to you, so please go and go back quickly."
Pei Zi nodded vigorously to show that he understood.
Immediately afterwards, Zheng Yanqing ordered people to shout loudly, causing the thieves at the foot of the mountain to misunderstand, thinking that they were going to break out.
Sure enough, the thief was deceived and immediately changed his formation and pointed dozens of hunting bows at the mountain gate.
However, the range of the hunting bow was not enough, so they could not launch an attack. If they leaned up, they would face the blocking of the bow and arrows of Zheng Yanqing and others. This gave Yan Qing and others the chance to pull the horse out of the mountain gate. After Xie Ke and his men suddenly lit the object behind the horse's tail. In an instant, thirty war horses were frightened and ran away with their hooves.
Pei Zi took this opportunity and rushed out of the mountain gate with his jade hooves.
The fire horse galloped, and the fire-induced objects behind it produced thick smoke, which just blocked Pei Zi's figure.
"Don't panic, they are not breaking through, let the road open, let the road open..."
It is naturally impossible to ride a man when the fire is burning. Zheng Yanqing lay at the gap in the gable and carefully observed the movement outside.
I saw a middle-aged man in green standing out of the crowd and shouting loudly: "Maitreya, don't panic, everyone."
He is a two-headed snake!
However, what surprised Zheng Yanqing even more was not the appearance of these two-headed snakes, but the "Maitreya protection" he said.
Damn, this is not an ordinary bandit, it is clearly a group of cultists!
Yan Qing's face changed slightly, he picked up a hard bow, pointed it at the two snakes, and raised his hand and had an arrow.
Unfortunately, the distance was too far, so that the arrow hit the two snakes, not only slowing down, but also weakening its strength. He waved his knife and slashed the arrow to the ground. He looked up towards the gable. But at this moment, a bandit shouted loudly: "Big leader, it's not good... Someone broke through, and someone broke through the siege just now!"
"ah?"
The two-headed snake was startled and turned around to look.
Pei Zi had already rushed into the thief group with the cover of the fire horse.
The jade hoofer Xi Yuyu screamed violently and ran away wildly.
Just now, because of avoiding the fire horses, the thieves made a way out. Pei Zi did not encounter any powerful obstacles at all. He tilted the horse and slashed left and right with a long knife in his hand. In an instant, he rushed out of the thief and left and left.
The two-headed snake's face suddenly turned ashen.
Zheng Yanqing watched Pei Zi rush out and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"Those who are not good at shooting skills will immediately retreat into the hall. The rest of the people will retreat with me while fighting... These guys are afraid of being angry."
Before he finished speaking, he heard the angry roar of two snakes outside the mountain gate.
"Get in here, don't leave one, don't leave one alive!"
