When Li Po drew his sword and ran backwards, almost instinctively, the nearby sergeants all drew their knives and followed him in a swarm and ran backwards.
The queue was too long and there was already chaos here, but the people in front had not yet reacted.
After running not far, he ran into someone who was sent back by Li Wu. Without him saying a word, he was directly wrapped up in the team and rushed back.
With a whoosh, an arrow passed over Li Po's head. Unsurprisingly, there was a scream from behind. It was unknown which unlucky person was hit. The road was too narrow and he was not wearing armor. The bow and arrow were in such a situation.
The environment is a nightmare for infantry.
At the narrow entrance not far away, Li Wu led four people and actually rushed into the crowd.
Li Po's eyes only glanced, and his heart was already filled with chills.
The entrance to the narrow passage was full of people, who appeared from nowhere or when.
Two thick tree trunks were propped up not far away, and some sharpened wooden stakes were scattered aside.
You can vaguely see some pack horses, carrying large stones.
If all these things were blocked at the entrance of the narrow passage, Li Po could not imagine how many lives it would take to rush out from here.
Careless, too careless.
But it's no wonder that any of them are too negligent, but this is the realm of the Sui Dynasty. The possibility of a Sui army of more than a thousand people being attacked on a large scale is extremely slim.
In addition, they are not here for fighting, but to escort war horses to Hebei, so their vigilance will naturally not be too high.
Fortunately, most of the team were cavalry, with only 200 infantry, plus the escorting horses and pack horses, so the team was extremely long after entering the Batu Caves.
As a result, the front was blocked, while the back had just entered the Batu Caves and was able to respond in time.
Unfortunately, it was precisely because of such procrastination that the opponent was able to calmly arrange the situation and block them in the Batu Caves.
Fortunately and unfortunately, there is no need to go into details. When fighting a war, we always look at the results.
At this moment, neither Li Po nor the men following him would think too much.
Li Wu's bravery bought them precious time and prevented the thieves from completely blocking the narrow entrance.
The crossing is not wide, and it is definitely not very narrow.
There are no horses, big trees, or rocks blocking the road, so the crossing is not very dangerous.
Li Po showed his speed of running 100 meters and took the lead, rushing to the front.
What made his pupils shrink was that several bandits wearing tattered leather robes and full of forest atmosphere were squatting at the entrance of the narrow passage, holding something like a box...
Damn, crossbow arrows.
In such a moment of life and death, the courage and courage of soldiers were most perfectly interpreted by Li Po. A??Reading??w
He didn't even try to hide, he just rushed forward.
At this time, even the slightest dodge movement will cause his body to lose balance. As long as he falls, he will be stepped on by the people behind him. Not only will he block his own way, but he will probably never be able to stand again.
Woke up.
Li Po's eyes widened, and the muscles on his face became extremely ferocious.
The vibrating sound of the crossbow string sounded, and the crossbow arrows were about to arrive.
Three crossbow arrows, one grazed the side of Li Po's neck, and the other grazed his thigh, tore Li Po's pants and left a scratch on Li Po's leg.
One actually passed through Li Po's armpit. The slightest difference allowed Li Po to miss death.
His accuracy was insufficient, but Li Po had goosebumps all over his body at this moment.
The bandits had already surrounded Li Wu, and more people came up. Many of them had bows and arrows in their hands. Looking at the Sui soldiers rushing out of the narrow passage, the bandits hurriedly began to draw their bows and arrows, shouting at the top of their lungs.
The roar echoed in the valley.
This is a competition that determines life and death. Li Po used his courage, physical fitness honed over the years, and unparalleled luck to win a chance for himself.
Arrows whizzed past him, maybe because of panic, maybe because the bandit's bow was not very good, but none of them hit Li Po.
The hair on Li Po's back stood up. He roared angrily, stepped up hard, and ran headlong into the crowd.
It can be said that this is the first time Li Po has had a head-to-head confrontation with someone since he came to this world, and it was as chaotic as a pot of porridge.
Such a battle is what Li Po least wants to see or encounter, because there are too many surprises, and no one can completely control their own destiny in such chaos.
Of course, maybe those guys who were able to get the rank of general in the midst of thousands of troops could do it, but Li Po thought that he should forget about it.
However, there is a huge gap between imagination and reality.
When Li Po knocked over a bunch of people and jumped up from the ground, every cell in his body seemed to come alive.
With a swipe of the knife in his hand, he cut a man's throat.
He raised his thigh and kicked a person to roll out. The long knife suddenly slashed down and hit the face of a guy who seemed to be stunned by fright, and directly cut his head open.
Taking advantage of the situation, he swung his knife and slashed horizontally, opening the man's head, and then split the wooden bow of the other person in front of him. He took a step forward to avoid the short knife that was piercing his neck, and stabbed him directly with the knife in his hand.
It entered between a person's waist and abdomen, and the other person screamed and covered the wound.
Without even having time to stir, Li Po immediately drew his knife and kicked the opponent out, cutting off an unknown number of his fingers.
In just this moment, Li Po had killed several people in a row, and his body and face were all stained with blood.
Joining the army was so fierce and strong, which greatly stimulated the morale of his Sui soldiers and unleashed their bestiality to the greatest extent.
The courage of a general exists like truth in the army these days.
The bandits' last chance to seal the narrow entrance with bows, arrows and crossbow boxes was lost.
And when a dozen Sui soldiers roared and rushed out of the narrow passage, swords raised, a series of screams sounded almost simultaneously, and the bandits fell to the ground one after another.
More and more Sui soldiers came out, and the hasty encounter soon turned into a one-sided massacre.
Today, there are no bandits who can fight against the large-scale Sui army, although in the next few years, this situation will change.
But it is undeniable that in troubled times, the backbone of the rebel army has always been those officers and soldiers who have received military training and joined the rebellion one after another.
The bandits first retreated one after another and wanted to gather together to resist, but there was no such chance.
Immediately, it turned into a rout and a chase.
Among the bandits who numbered one to two hundred, those who were killed fled.
At this time, Li Po gradually backed away, wiped the blood on his face, and roared with red eyes.
"Hold the crossing, hold the crossing."
Afterwards, with his shouts, more and more people gathered around him. After Li Po kicked him with his belt, they finally formed a military formation at the entrance of the narrow passage.
His caution was proven correct again... Although Li Po's first battle was fought in a confused manner, it undoubtedly proved his military talent and his unparalleled strength.
Lucky.
