Chapter 10 The End of Qiu Yi
Above the hill is a tall fir tree, with weeds on the knees, and at the foot are fallen leaves of fir trees accumulated over the years, which are soft.
The empty night sky is quiet and the air is fresh. A cold moon hangs bleakly in the night sky.
In the dim moonlight, four figures walked forward in the woods.
A middle-aged man in the front, wearing a white sweatshirt, has been soaked through the back of his clothes. As you move forward, carefully observe the surrounding terrain.
The two men behind, dressed in the same short and delicate clothes, one of whom carried four tubular things on their backs and a short firewood knife in their hands.
And the one in the middle is actually a slim girl, with a light body and small steps. The white skirt swayed in the mountain forest, a little weird and a little mysterious.
"Brother, let's set up an ambush here." The big man in the middle suddenly opened his mouth, and it was Shixin.
"No, it's too dense here for our musket shooting." Zhang Yang said.
"Where is the right place?"
"The front is about to reach the edge of the forest. Next to it is the only way to Gaoyou. We set up an ambush in front, which is the most appropriate."
"I've been talking about it for a long time, and I haven't come to the end."
"If you hadn't kept saying that you were coming, I wouldn't have brought you here." Zhang Yang said lightly. Look at Ruohan, a girl's family is not afraid of fatigue, and you are not afraid of Ruohan jokes.
Zhang Yang looked up. Ruohan was actually out of breath for a long time, but a belief has been supporting her. He must avenge his father!
At the front, it was Li Bosheng leading the way, walking silently without saying a word.
This time, he quietly got off the salt boat and didn't bring more people, so he took Shixin and Li Bosheng. In fact, in your own imagination, it is enough to bring only one person, and even you can complete it by yourself. But Li Bosheng and Shi Xin rushed to come and brought them here.
However, when he got off the boat near Dingxi, he accidentally found that under the starlight, a figure standing on the shore was actually Liu Ruohan!
How did she know her actions?
It turned out that when discussing specific actions the day before yesterday, Liu Ruohan came to her home to send wild vegetables. She heard it unexpectedly. She didn't know where the courage came from, but she quietly couldn't do it for dozens of miles after dark. She came to the landing point she had discussed and waited for herself. In her hand, she was still holding the broken wood knife at home.
Zhang Yang's forehead has been in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he was not heard by Qiu Yi, otherwise these people would have fallen to the ground long ago.
The terrain had been surveyed the day before yesterday. It was almost three hours away, but I accidentally took the wrong road just now and took a detour.
There may have been bubbles on his feet, but Zhang Yang did not dare to stop. He must rush to the ambush site before dawn and place his secret weapon. If it's late and Qiu Yi passes by this road, he can only wait for the next opportunity.
It's okay. I arrived at the reserved place. It's not dawn yet.
Looking at the moon hanging above his head, Zhang Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's take a break."
Everyone sat on the ground.
Zhang Yang looked at Ruohan, whose face was a little pale. Even his body couldn't stand it, not to mention Liu Ruohan, a weak woman.
"Ruohan, are you all right?" Zhang Yang asked.
"No, I'm just a little tired."
"Drink water." Zhang Yang handed over his own water bag.
Liu Ruohan took it over and took a few sips without hesitation.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhang Yang said.
"My father doesn't close his eyes. I just hate that there are no other men in the Liu family. I must see Qiu Yi's death with my own eyes." Liu Ruo said coldly. The moonlight shone on the firm face. At this moment, there were no weak women, some were women's beauties.
It's getting brighter.
Several people began to prepare.
The faint mist in the morning made Zhang Yang worried. Once the gunpowder is damp, the effect will be greatly reduced.
Fortunately, as the sun rose, the mist gradually dissipated.
In the middle is a parallel road for several horses, which is also the only way for Baiju Salt Farm to Gaoyoufu. On both sides are green forests, and they put their muskets in the grass on the roadside, which can't be seen.
Four muskets, two on each side, five steps apart, and the elevation angle was carefully adjusted to the best state by Zhang Yang, so as to form a crossfire. When Qiu Yi enters the range and four shots are fired at the same time, Qiu Yi must be bombarded from the horse.
Just in case, a stumbling horse was arranged behind the musket. In case Qiu Yi narrowly escaped the shooting of the musket, he would leave him with the last snack.
After repeated confirmation, Zhang Yang carefully loaded all four muskets with black gunpowder, pounded them, and then loaded them with pebbles.
It's the first time for Liu Ruohan to see a musket. It's a little unclear to see the process of loading.
"Brother Shicheng, can you do it with such a small bamboo tube and black soil?"
"Don't underestimate this black powder. The fish you ate last time is its credit. You will see it in a moment. By the way, you have installed the flint. I'll send a signal later, and everyone will light it together.
"Well, I see."
As he spoke, there was a sound of horses' hoofs in the distance.
"Qiu Yi is here." Shi Xin slid down from the tree and whispered.
"Quick, go back to your respective positions." Zhang Yang said.
Since there are four people, each of them ignites the twist of a musket, and it's done with a loud noise.
Zhang Yang leaned over the grass and wore a cloak woven with a few large leaves as a protective color. His white clothes were too conspicuous in the green grass. Let the tip of the grass tickle and stay still.
A horse gradually came into view.
The whole body is green, the horse's mane is flying, the four hooves are vigorous, and the tail is like a waterfall. The rider on the horse, dressed in a short robe, a hat, a bow and arrow and a knife at the waist, holding a whip in his hand.
It's Qiu Yi.
The Mongols immediately won the world. Although they were indulged in the luxury of the Central Plains, they were a horse nation after all. Looking at the posture of controlling horses and the superb riding skills, even on the battlefield, they were a daunting warrior.
It's just that Zhang Yang didn't plan to be popular with his bayonet at all. It is the realm I pursue to control the enemy thousands of miles and kill tens of millions of people without any damage. I have the scientific and technological knowledge that is nearly 800 years ahead of this era.
The horse is getting closer and closer, 200 steps, 150 steps, 100 steps.
In the grass, there was a low cricket cry.
Shi Xin, Li Bosheng and Liu Ruohan immediately lit the twist with flints.
The twister chirped, with a small flame, and burned into the bamboo tube.
"Boom." Four muskets roared together, and black smoke shrouded around the bamboo tube.
Oh no, you should lie down immediately, and your face must have been blackened.
" Hiss--" I had never felt the sound of the sky and the earth, and the horse immediately became uneasy.
Then, Qiu Yi felt as if he had been bitten by countless insects, painful and extremely painful.
"Ah..." Qiu Yi shouted and fell off the horse.
And the horse, which is usually tame, seems to be crazy and runs forward.
After dozens of steps, suddenly, his front legs were blocked and fell to the ground. His front legs were broken, and he knelt on the ground and could no longer get up.
The red ** flowed out of the left eye. The shot just now also hurt the eye.
Qiu Yi lay on the ground and wailed.
It must have been plotted and injured by a hidden weapon, but where did the hidden weapon come from, such a powerful one?
Through the blurred eyes, several people appeared in front of them.
Several big men, one woman.
The woman is holding a knife in her hand.
"Qiu Yi, you killed my father, I want to avenge him!" A voice came. Although it was cold, it was very familiar.
It was Liu Ruohan, and Qiu Yi finally recognized him.
With all his strength, Qiu Yi spit out a few words: "I am a member of the Great Khan. Even if we kill you southerners, we only need to compensate a donkey. And if you kill me, you will be slaughtered..."
Before he finished speaking, the knife flashed, and a human head was far away.
"Dad, my daughter has avenged you, and you can rest in peace..." Liu Ruohan's eyes were full of tears.
People can't come back to life after death. Even if they kill Qiu Yi, their own father still can't come back.
The knife just now has used up all his strength. Liu Ruohan felt that he was weak all over, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up.
Zhang Yang and Li Bosheng are the same. After all, this is the first time to kill a person. Although this man is full of blood, he is still a person and a Mongolian after all.
Zhang Yang reacted first: "We will dispose of the body immediately, otherwise it will be found and there will be trouble."
Next tois a dense forest. Find a place to bury it, and you won't be found for a hundred years.
"This knife is good. I took it." Shi Xin has gone to pick the knife on Qiu Yi's body.
"No way." Zhang Yang said, "This is an official knife that can only be used by officers and soldiers. If we take it and are found, we will definitely get into trouble."
"It's a pity that this knife can be sold for a few taels of silver." Shi Xin muttered.
Suddenly, the sound of horseshoes came from the distance.
Damn, someone is coming.
What should I do?
"Let's go. If someone finds out that we are here, we will definitely be suspected." Zhang Yang made a decision immediately.
"Where is the body?"
" Keep it." Zhang Yang has no better way.
The sound of horses' hoofs was getting closer and closer. Several people put away the muskets on the ground and entered the dense woods next to them.
