Chapter 1289: First Attack

Although Qucheng is my cousin's territory, it is not easy for me to borrow soldiers. I have to give up some benefits. Is it three years of taxes or the fees for the ferry in the west?

These lowly people in Shizhoutou really cost him a lot of money!

At this moment, two huge stones suddenly flew out of the dense forest in front, each of which was eight feet square, and hit Liu Chengshou with a whistling sound!

It was extremely accurate.

They fell in a parabola, and the surrounding generals shouted "get out of the way". The confidants grabbed the reins of Liu Chengshou's mount and pulled out.

With two bangs, the huge stones fell to the ground and rolled a few times, raising dust.

"Enemy attack ahead!"

Then, a horn sounded in the dense forest.

Long, majestic, and vigorous, like the roar of some ancient giant beast, even the gravel on the ground bounced non-stop.

At least Liu Chengshou had never heard it before.

Just this sound made everyone feel blood boiling, dizzy, and uncomfortable for a long time.

Seven or eight horses were already suffering from diarrhea and were weak. The sound of the horn made their hooves go limp and they collapsed to the ground. Two cavalrymen were unlucky and were pinned down by their horses.

Then dozens of cavalrymen came out of the forest, all wearing black armor and long blades, as if they were integrated with the dark mountains and the night sky.

Each knight wore a hideous mask.

"Who are you!" Liu Chengshou was shocked and suspicious, "Why are you blocking my way!"

The leading knight wore a dragon-head mask, and his deep voice echoed in everyone's ears: "Liu Shuheng, you have committed many evil deeds, and your time has come!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, the cavalrymen behind him did not move, solidifying into several human walls, and even the horses under their seats did not snort or shake their heads.

There were only a few dozen cavalrymen, but they had the solemnity of more than a thousand people.

"Who invited you? Zhao Guangzhi or Yang Meng?" Liu Chengshou persuaded him with benefits, "If you let me go, I am willing to pay Shizhou City and Chuncheng ten years of taxes as a reward!"

The Dragon Head Knight laughed: "Ten years of taxes?"

Does this person have no idea about ten years of taxes? Liu Chengshou immediately changed his words: "One hundred thousand taels of silver! It doesn't take ten years. I will pay the down payment first, and I will pay it all in half a month!"

If someone told him half a day ago that a few dozen riders could block him and make him desperate and have to spend one hundred thousand taels of silver to buy his life, he would have laughed his teeth off. Now, alas, the situation is stronger than people.

Save your life first, and you can find ways to get the money slowly.

The other party was calm and composed: "It's really hard for you to extort 100,000 taels from these two small cities."

Liu Chengshou hurriedly said: "It's not difficult, it's not difficult, I have plenty of ways!"

"But you forgot that the stone helmet is no longer yours." The Dragon Head Knight said, "Soon, even this life will not be yours."

The other party refused to budge, so Liu Chengshou had to shout: "Charge!"

He still had more than 200 people around him, and the other party was only dozens. Even if he couldn't beat them, he could always rush through, right?

Rush out of this open space, and there is a way to survive behind.

The Dragon Head Knight just raised his left hand and pointed forward:

"Kill!"

The black-armored cavalry took out bows and arrows from their backs, and dozens of arrows were shot at once, with uniform movements, as if they had practiced countless times beforehand.

Then they knocked on the horse's belly, drew back the bows and held the weapons, and rushed out like a whirlwind.

Liu Chengshou's hope was shattered at the moment the two armies collided.

As soon as his soldiers raised their shields, the other side rushed on horseback, with strength, angle, and skills that were not comparable to ordinary cavalry. Liu Chengshou watched as the soldier in front of him was shot away by the black-armored knight. He actually flew over his head, drawing a perfect parabola before landing with a thud.

Blood splattered and screams were heard.

Liu Chengshou's two hundred defeated soldiers were not even a match for the opponent, and they were dispersed in two and a half rounds.

Several personal soldiers covered him as he rushed to the dense forest in the northwest.

There seemed to be a shadow in the forest, and two more boulders were thrown. This time the distance was too close, and a general beside Liu Chengshou was directly knocked off his horse.

Fortunately, he was not weak in horsemanship, so he pulled the reins and ran to the side.

There was a sound of horseshoes behind him, and Liu Chengshou looked back and saw that the leader of the black-armored knights was chasing him in person!

"Kill him!"

He shouted twice in a row, and the personal soldiers around him at most turned their heads, and no one turned back to intercept him.

What a joke, those black-armored soldiers were fierce enough, and their leader looked even more brutal, what could he kill?

No one wants to die.

In the end, you have to do everything yourself. Liu Chengshou was so angry that he threw three earthy yellow round beads as big as pigeon eggs at the pursuers.

One of them hit the ground and turned into a whole tall stone wall with a bang. It was four feet wide and two feet high. The surface was uneven. Anyone who bumped into it rashly would be broken and bleeding.

The other two accurately hit the leader of the black-armored knights and turned into two huge stone puppets in mid-air. Their fists as big as millstones were going to beat both the man and the horse.

The stone wall was right in front of the leader of the black-armored knights. The two stone puppets blocked his way on the left and right.

The leader of the black-armored knights knocked on the horse's belly, and the horse sped up suddenly and rushed forward. Before the stone puppets swung their arms down, they rushed past them.

He took out a pair of dark red meteor chain hammers and threw them forward.

This thing was covered with spikes. It looked normal in his hand, but it expanded rapidly once it left his hand. Its size changed from an old coconut to a millstone, and it slammed into the stone wall.

With a bang, dust flew up and the stone wall broke.

The remaining power of this meteor chain was still strong, and it flew out vigorously, knocking away two of Liu Chengshou's personal soldiers behind him!

Liu Chengshou turned around and saw the meteor chain coming towards him. He screamed in fear and lowered his head quickly.

I felt a gust of wind on my neck, and then the horse cried out, and my body lost balance——

The meteor chain hit the horse's neck, and the whole horse fell off.

Liu Chengshou on the horse was not spared, and was thrown three feet away by inertia.

But he did not turn into a rolling gourd, because a long spear came first, and pierced his right arm with a "snatch" sound, nailing him firmly to the tree trunk behind!

"Ah——"

Liu Chengshou's scream went straight to the sky, scaring the birds circling in the sky so that they dared not return to their nests.

The two stone puppets behind lost their master's command and fell to the ground and turned back into two small earth balls.

Seeing the black-armored leader galloping towards him, Liu Chengshou burst into tears:

"Let me go, we have no grudges against each other..."

Another rider came from behind and reported to the leader: "Liu's men are in trouble. Some escaped, some surrendered, and they were all dispersed. This——"

He glanced at Liu Chengshou: "What are you going to do?"

He was of course Wanqi Feng.

Liu Chengshou's screams were too loud, interrupting their conversation. He Lingchuan, wearing a dragon mask, said: "Sorry for the noise."

Wanqi Feng understood, grabbed a dagger and walked in front of Liu Chengshou, stabbing him in the neck directly.

Blood immediately flowed out.

However, Liu Chengshou did not die. Wanqi Feng only damaged his vocal cords. So no matter how miserable he screamed, he would only make a few hoarse sounds.
