Chapter 85 Unfriendly Soldiers and Civilians

He calmed down: "Who is the leader of the army now, Zhong Shengguang or General Hong?"

What kind of question is this? The guards were a little surprised, and one of them said: "General Hong presides over all battles, big or small." This is not a secret, everyone knows it, but the behavior of this man is getting weirder and weirder, and he should be arrested and questioned.

Thinking of this, the last guard turned around and ran back to get help.

He Lingchuan saw it, but ignored it, and said to everyone: "You stand here, I will let you go in half an hour; otherwise, take the bodies of your companions back."

He was very sure that this trick would work on the Black Water City Army, but the guards in front of him looked at each other, and although they were hesitant, they followed him step by step and were not threatened by him at all.

The captive said with difficulty: "Even if they kill me, they can't let you go!"

He Lingchuan looked around. The hills were undulating, and there was no low shrubs to hide in. The nearest village was also four or five hundred feet away.

The worst thing was that the farmers by the canal saw the guards being subdued by him, and they all jumped into the water to chase him.

Now, he was attacked from both sides.

He couldn't stay here for long, and he had to find a way to escape. Thinking of this, he grabbed the prisoner and moved towards the canal.

Fortunately, the prisoner was thin and small, and He Lingchuan was strong, so he dragged him backwards and trotted.

The canal was built to divert water for irrigation. It was estimated that it was early summer at this time, and the water was still a bit turbulent. He Lingchuan set his eyes on the small wooden boat tied to the canal.

If you can go downstream, it will be much faster than human legs.

In any case, get rid of these pursuers first.

He ran for forty or fifty feet. Although the guards refused to stop, they still cherished their companions' lives and did not dare to rush up to take people.

At this time, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and more than a dozen cavalrymen turned out from the col. Looking at the clothes, He Lingchuan was very familiar:

Dafeng Army!

There are actually rangers of the Dafeng Army here, which is really a dog.

He Lingchuan didn't want to take the captives, so he cut his leg, pushed him out, and ran away.

Two legs couldn't outrun four legs, so he couldn't bring another burden with him.

Fortunately, this place was not far from the canal.

He Lingchuan ran wildly, really like a whirlwind of lightning, and took advantage of the momentum of the rush to jump directly into the canal and cut the rope that tied the boat with a knife. The wooden boat was pushed by the canal water and slowly swung away.

The sound of hooves was getting closer and closer, and it was obvious that the cavalry was also sprinting. He thought it was too slow, so he bent over and pushed the wooden boat.

At this moment, a warning sign suddenly came to his mind.

He didn't have time to think about it, and rolled forward and fell directly into the boat.

This posture was a standard dog eating s, but it was ugly, but it still saved his life, because the next second two feather arrows shot at him, one hit the column head of the rope, three points into the wood, and the other went over the wooden plank and shot directly into the water.

If he still stood there, he would either be pierced through the throat or through the heart, and there would be no good end.

However, He Lingchuan's movements were too big, and the boat was too narrow, so he flipped it upside down.

"..." He Da Shao silently recited the Three Character Classic seven or eight times.

What to do?

With his arm strength, he could certainly flip the boat right again, but the cavalry were like wolves and tigers, and they had probably pounced on the canal at this time. Even if he took the boat down the river, at most he could get rid of the guards and farmers, and those cavalry would still stick to him and would not stop until they found a chance to pull him up.

Besides, there were people who took the time to shoot cold arrows. Wasn't he a standard live target sitting in the boat?

To be honest, the moment he recognized the Dafeng Army, he knew that running away was the kingly way.

In just three or five breaths, those cavalry rushed to the canal first.

The terrain of the Chiba Plateau is special, and large troops cannot climb up, but there are often agile scouts sneaking in quietly, gathering military intelligence everywhere, poisoning and assassinating. Therefore, the people of Panlong City hated spies so much that they would beat them half to death without any explanation when they met them. As long as the spies were still alive when they were handed over to the camp, the superiors would never blame them.

They weighed the weapons in their hands and were about to throw them as javelins.

The He family had seen this move in Panlong Desert City, and even Sun Fuping's barrier was shaken. Now it seems that it is a regular skill of the Dafeng Army, and everyone has learned it.

However, when they arrived at the edge of the canal, they looked down and were stunned.

There was only one wooden boat in the canal, which was moving along the water with its bottom up, and the speed was quite fast. At first glance, the spy disappeared.

The water was very clear, even fish and shrimps could not hide, let alone a living person.

A cavalryman suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed: "Look, he is hiding under the boat!"

Everyone looked down, and sure enough, a small figure was exposed under the boat--

The kid was actually curled up under the boat, moving along with the hull.

A cavalryman fired a long spear very decisively, and it pierced the bottom of the boat with a "thump". But the boat still drifted forward, and there was no blood flowing under the boat, obviously it did not hit the enemy.

The cavalry was so angry that they cursed.

The bottom of the boat was round, and no one could stand at all, and it was not easy for them to jump off.

He Lingchuan used the entire boat as a shield, and the upside-down cabin was full of air, enough to support him to breathe freely for a long time.

He was underwater and blocked by the boat, so the archers on the shore could not do anything to him.

Now he curled up in the boat, pushing his feet on the bottom of the canal, pushing the wooden boat faster and faster.

Under the combined effect of water power and manpower, the boat really accelerated, and in a blink of an eye, the infantry was left behind, and only the cavalry could still chase closely.

In this way, it traveled more than a thousand feet downstream.

He Lingchuan had calmed his heartbeat and breath, and he had already thought it was not good before he thought of a countermeasure.

He couldn't see the scene on the shore, and didn't know where he was drifting to. The most troublesome thing was that he could feel that the water level was dropping.

In other words, the water in the canal was getting less and less, and it was no longer turbulent. The boat couldn't float any further, and he had to face the cavalry on the shore.

What should he do?

This kind of canal used to be densely distributed in the countryside, and bridges would be built every certain distance, otherwise pedestrians could not pass through. Thinking of this, he had an idea, reached out to touch the bottom of the boat, grabbed the long spear and pulled it out.

Then, he leaned out from the side of the boat to observe the situation outside the canal.

The bad news was that the cavalry were still chasing him, and He Lingchuan got a few cold eyes as soon as he looked over. One of the pursuers even pulled out a bow and arrow from behind, which scared He Lingchuan so much that he quickly shrank his head.

The good news was that there were buildings on both sides of this waterway, so there were either villages or towns ahead!

As long as it was not an open plain, his chances of escaping would increase greatly.

He Lingchuan had a plan in mind. He calculated the speed of the water flow in advance, moved the boat close to the canal, and suddenly let go and squatted.

The boat happened to flow under a wooden bridge again.

It was about noon at this time. The sun was shining directly in the middle, and the shadow of the wooden bridge was vertical on the water surface.

Then, the boat floated away from under the bridge again, just like before.

The cavalry continued to move forward without any doubt, chasing the wooden boat in the water.
