Chapter 55 Killing the Three Thieves in Front of the Village
Xu Huai, Xu Wukun, Xu Wuliang and others appeared on the bank of Qingliu Creek in the northwest corner of Lutai Village. Of course, the bandit soldiers had already noticed it, but Xu Huai and the others only had ten people, three of them wore armor, and they only had three fast horses. Why?
It doesn't even look like much of a threat.
There have been fierce fights in the mountains over the years, and the thieves also know a little about how to arrange their troops.
In addition to a dedicated group of men and horses on the right wing of the bandit soldiers who were on guard to the west, there were also seven sentries scattered in the river beach, watching the movements here, but they were mainly on guard against the possibility that Xu would send men and horses to kill from the flank, but they
I won't pay attention to people like Xu Huai.
After Xu Huai charged forward single-handedly, the seven sentinels on the flanks of the bandits galloped slowly out of the river beach.
They wanted to intercept this reckless and unexcited young man, but they didn't pay any attention to it. They thought that the boss had just killed people outside the gate of Lutai Village to show his power, and asked this reckless boy to rush forward and die.
Even if they were sent to death, they didn't mind letting the Xu clan members on the wall see more clearly how they tortured and killed such idiots.
But he didn't expect Xu Huai to shoot three arrows quickly, accurately and fiercely. Not to mention taking off the shields next to the saddle to cover up the seven sentinels, they were even afraid of scaring the fool away just now, so they didn't even take off the sabers on their waists.
.
Immediately, one person was unable to dodge and was hit by two arrows in the face, falling off his horse. Another person narrowly turned his head to the side, but an arrow penetrated his mouth, pierced through his cheek, and took off half of his ear.
He screamed in pain, barely managed to get off his horse, turned his horse's head, and fled in a hurry towards the Qingliu River Bridge.
Before contact was made, one of the thief sentries was killed and one was injured. The remaining five thief riders on the flanks realized that although the young man in front of them was reckless, his archery skills could be said to be top-notch in Tongbai Mountain.
However, they still had five elite cavalry on the flanks. Facing Xu Huai who was fighting alone, they were still outnumbered. They were even more murderous at this moment, thinking that they could kill a young master in front of the Xu clan, which would be even more powerful.
Decent.
Xu Wukun and Xu Wuliang protected the novices behind them who were experiencing the battle for the first time, to guard against emergencies.
Xu Huai could only go into battle alone, covering up the bandits on the flanks of the sentry cavalry and returning the favor, instead of letting the Xiema Mountain bandits show off their power wantonly.
If bandits and thieves seize dozens of hostages and want to do everything they want, then they can simply capture them without any help, clean their necks and let them hack them to pieces.
Not accepting threats was the obsession that surged deep in Xu Huai's heart.
If you have this persistence, you will have no fear.
However, being fearless does not mean being reckless.
Xu Huai was wearing a lightweight war armor, which could protect his vitals, but his thighs, arms, face, and horse were all targets for the thieves. He was not a good choice to shoot at five thieves from dozens of steps away.
Seeing that two of the five cavalry thieves were in front, preparing to take off their shields to cover themselves, while the other three were taking off their longbows and preparing to shoot at each other, he didn't have much chance of winning.
Xu Huai did not hesitate, threw the long bow aside, took off the spear hanging on the side of the saddle, and accelerated forward to charge forward, not giving the opponent a chance to shoot from a distance.
The several bandits and cavalrymen dispersed relatively far apart. Xu Huai abandoned his bow and replaced his gun with a gun. The two nearest bandit cavalrymen were only about twenty paces away from him.
Xu Huai's horse was very fast. At such a close distance, the two thieves each shot an arrow in a hurry. When they saw that they were blocked by their armor, they decisively abandoned their bows and drew their swords to prepare for battle.
When they saw Xu Huai holding the spear under his arm, they guessed that Xu Huai was going to use the momentum of his galloping horse to stab their bodies with the spear.
These two thieves can serve as flank sentries, and their skills and riding skills are definitely not weak. They tightened the reins and led the horses to separate left and right.
They thought of first avoiding Xu Huai's unstoppable spear, and then cooperating to kill the reckless guy from the left and right.
When fighting with horses and guns, the power of the guns is extremely limited. The enemy's horse gallops to the side, and at the same time distances itself, narrowly avoiding the range of the spears. Generally speaking, Xu Huai should pull the reins and lead the horse.
Find an opening and rush to the river beach ahead to avoid being surrounded by five bandits.
After establishing a distance, even if he hid under the wall, Xu Huai could take a breather while taking advantage of the crossbow cover on the wall, and then calmly look for a better opportunity to engage in battle.
The five Rogue Riders are good players, and the standard for being a good player is to anticipate enemy aircraft first.
They were afraid that Xu Huai would have the opportunity to hide under the wall. Except for the two riders who approached Xu Huai directly to entangle him, the remaining three riders galloped directly to the river beach first, limiting Xu Huai's room for maneuver, while the other two rode close to him.
A stone's throw away from the village wall, insert it directly to the west.
This is a standard cavalry squad encirclement and cutting tactic.
The elite thieves can roam Tongbai Mountain and frighten the countryside. They are most familiar with this small team tactic. Over the years, no one knows how many lone warriors have died under their swords and guns without any luck.
In their view, this reckless guy who suddenly broke in was just a free opportunity for them to further establish their authority.
However, what they could not imagine was that Xu Huai was much more "reckless" than they thought.
When riding past the two thieves, Xu Huai swept his spear out and thrust it out. Even though it was powerful and heavy, the blade of the spear missed the target by a hair.
The thief on the right wing laughed contemptuously, taking advantage of his companion to attract the reckless man's offensive to the left wing. He pulled the reins and drove the galloping horse to go sideways, closing the distance with Xu Huai, and raised his sword towards Xu Huai's unobstructed right side.
Cut the body off.
Such exquisite riding skills are rare in Tongbai Mountain, which made all the brave men on the village wall sweat for Xu Huai.
Normally speaking, Xu Huai would only choose to speed up his horse and rush forward, avoiding the attacks of the two thieves first. Even if the horse might get hit by a knife from behind, it would still be better than if his men were hit hard by this blow.
.
However, the clan soldiers on the wall saw that Xu Huai suddenly moved to the left wing at this moment, retracted his right foot to press against the saddle, and then suddenly jumped forward, with his spear like a poisonous python, and once again pointed at himself.
The thief on the left wing who had already avoided the sweep of Xu Huai's spear flew away with stabs in his back.
When the thief heard the roar of the gun breaking the wind, he turned his head in shock, only to see that the gun blade had penetrated his back vest.
The gun shoots out like a python, killing one enemy at a time, so fierce!
But how can people be so stupid and reckless!
Someone on the wall couldn't help shouting.
The remaining four thieves were also shocked.
Xu Huai shot and killed one person, wounded another, and stabbed one of their accomplices with one shot. His skills were not weak.
However, he abandoned his bow after three arrows, abandoned his horse in order to kill the second man, and was forced to abandon his spear before he could withdraw it in time.
At this time, this reckless guy only had a straight-spine sword on his waist. He was standing alone on the edge of the river beach, surrounded by four of their riders. What was going on?
This guy is really reckless. He even risked his own life in order to kill people. Do you think he can withstand the encirclement and attack of four elite warriors by himself?
There were four remaining thieves on horseback, and two of them came directly towards Xu Huai on horseback. The other two behind him took their bows and arrows in their hands, and slightly opened the distance, looking for opportunities to shoot.
Xu Wukun and Xu Wuqi were secretly anxious when they saw this scene.
Xu Huai said that he could not compromise with the rebels and would face the enemy single-handedly, so the two of them protected the seven novices behind them who had not experienced battle formations.
During this period, they were also somewhat shocked by Xu Huai's bravery and agility. They didn't think much about it at the time, thinking that Xu Huai would be able to get rid of the entanglement and retreat when the situation was unfavorable. When the time came, they would move closer to the wall, and the thieves would definitely
I will be afraid of the crossbows on the wall of the stronghold and dare not chase them too close. No matter how I look at them, there is not much danger.
They did not expect that Xu Huai went up and killed two bandits. He also abandoned his bow, horse, and spear, and confronted the remaining four bandits with a sword.
But they were one hundred forty or fifty steps away, and it was too late to save them.
"You guys get closer to the outside of the village wall!" Xu Wukun didn't care if it was too late or not. He even asked the novices to get closer to the foot of the village wall. He and Xu Wuliang took off their long bows and went to Xu Huai to receive reinforcements, regardless of Qingliu River.
On the other side of the bridge, more thieves were coming towards the side.
The four thieves were all veterans, so how could they give Xu Wuliang and Xu Wukun a chance to rescue Xu Huai? The thief at the head showed no intention of entangled, pulled the reins, sped up, and hit Xu Huai head-on.
The thieves' sentries ride through rugged mountains and fields, not open battlefields. They are accustomed to using knives instead of spears.
The short blade of the sword makes it inconvenient to kill an enemy on horseback. However, riding on the back of a horse and cutting from a high position still has great advantages. What's more, those with excellent riding skills can directly use their horses to charge into the enemy in front of them.
.
Tongbai Mountain lacks tall horses, but a good horse and the rider on the horse still weigh five to six hundred kilograms. The momentum of the collision at the charging speed is even more astonishing. Who can stop it?
The thief subtly controlled the direction of the horse's hoof stamping and collision, hoping to force the fool to dodge to the right, so that he would be confident enough to use his strength to draw the sword and break through the heavy armor he was wearing with one blow.
He could tell that Xu Huai was wearing a piece of armor.
Xu Wuxuan returned to Tongbai Mountain and had been in power for two years before he died of illness. Not many people in Tongbai Mountain knew about this set of wart armor, but the wart armor could block a powerful crossbow, but it could not block a heavy slash from a sharp sword; Liang
A's power against heavy cutting power is somewhat weakened, but it's true.
Of course Xu Huai could see what this man was thinking, and if he really wanted to avoid it to the right, it would be no problem for him to block the man with his sword and slash with his sword, but the four thieves and knights cooperated so well that they didn't say a word before, but
The other three people all turned their attention to the right side at the same time, waiting for him to get out from under the horse's belly.
"Roar!"
Xu Huai roared like thunder, squatted down as low as an iron tower, used his left shoulder as a hammer, and slammed into the right chest of the thieves horse with the force of a mountain.
The thief Ma Tie was forcefully knocked to one side by Xu Huai. Unable to contain the momentum, he suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground. His leg bones were broken as he knelt down. The unprepared thief soldier on the horse's back was of course violently thrown away.
.
"ah!"
Seeing Xu Huai forcefully knocking down a galloping war horse without retreating even an inch, the soldiers on the wall took a deep breath, and then burst into thunderous cheers.
Everyone in the Xu clan knows that Xu Huai is stupid and clumsy, and they have also seen his recklessness a few days ago.
At this moment, he was also convinced that Xu Huai had rushed out recklessly. In addition to ignoring that there were dozens of tribesmen who had fallen into the hands of the thieves as hostages, he was also simply seeking death.
However, after all, they are from the same clan, and everyone has more or less the same hatred and hatred. Seeing him killing two thieves in a row and being surrounded by four thieves, they couldn't help but sweat for him.
At this time, seeing him burst out with a bravery that had never been seen before in Tongbai Mountain, he even knocked down a war horse that had raised its speed, and defused a clever attack by four thieves. The energy and blood of Zhuzhai Yong also seemed to be ignited.
Burn up.
Regardless of whether the thieves were still out of shooting range or Xu Wufu, Xu Wuqi did not give any orders. Someone on the wall raised a crossbow and shot at the four thieves.
Xu Huai did not dodge to the right as the thief wanted. The thief's knight, who was galloping past on the right side, missed Xu Huai with his long sword.
Xu Huai blocked the two arrows that hit his face with his arm armor. He raised his head like a giant python from the grass and advanced forward in a row. In an instant, he jumped ten feet and threw the man off the horse. He was dizzy and dizzy.
He wanted to stab the thief who stood up from the beach in the chest.
