Although there are no birds or beasts around the village, there are a lot of bugs in the grass. At night, they will roar at the top of their lungs. Although it does not sound much louder than human breathing, their presence can still be felt through the vibration of the eardrums.
? ? ???????
The Fourth Master was so furious that he pulled out a torch from the crenel and threw it outside with all his strength.
The guards on the wall noticed the move of the fourth master. They quickly climbed to the crenellations of the wall and stared at the torch that drew a beautiful arc in the air.
Bang bang, bang bang, in the darkness about a hundred meters outside the village gate, there was a dense sound of bowstrings.
The Fourth Master's eyes widened, he grabbed two handfuls of sawdust with his hands leaning on the wall, and was about to shout a warning.
With a "swish" sound, a jet-black arrow shot through his throat.
He felt a sharp pain rushing straight to his forehead, and his body was knocked backwards by the momentum of the arrow. The air in his lungs seemed to be drained out in an instant. He tried his best to breathe in no air, and darkness quickly filled his body.
Pupil, I could only hear my own humming in my ears, and I wanted to shout but couldn't.
All twenty guards on the wall were hit by arrows, some even had several arrows in their bodies, and without exception, they were all hit in the throat.
Ding Kui was standing next to Lao Qiantou, but he could barely see his archery movements. Sunset Archer's hands were fast. Ding Kui couldn't help but ask the butler beside him: "Where are Uncle Hai and Uncle Nan?"
"Look, they're on the wall." The steward pointed.
Two figures jumped down from the peaks on both sides of the village wall at the same time.
As soon as Quan Sihai landed on the wall of the village, he threw out a long whip. The whip flew past the ten guards on the wall on the right, rolled up the weapons in their hands, and fell on top of the fourth master.
The person who jumped down on the other side was Jiang Nan. He waved the long sword in his hand and shot out ten sword rays, smashing the weapons of the other ten guards into pieces. The sound of falling to the ground was not as loud as the sound of someone falling to the ground.
Old Qiantou stopped shooting, waved his hand and shouted: "Up."
70 warriors and 25 archers rushed out of the darkness. They ran to the village wall and jumped directly over the wall. In their eyes, the 20-meter-high wall was not much higher than the hurdle Liu Xiang crossed.
After climbing over the wall, the trapped warriors rushed to the houses in the front village and were responsible for clearing out the guards in the front village; the archers rushed to the cave leading to the middle village and used the shortest possible time to control the sentry sending the message.
The steward said to Ding Kui: "There are not many horse-rejection posts in front of the stronghold, so it is not suitable for cavalry to charge. Moreover, it is midnight, and the momentum of the cavalry charge will alarm the enemy. Therefore, the first wave of attacks will be carried out by warriors and archers."
In the eyes of the housekeeper, Ding Kui was still an eleven-year-old child who didn't understand anything. Ding Kui nodded cooperatively.
After the troops in front climbed over the wall, the steward and Ding Kui led the knights who stayed behind and drove their horses towards the gate of the village.
Jiang Nan and Quan Sihai opened the gate of the stronghold and let the troops behind them into the stronghold.
The front village of Funiu Mountain is about the size of a standard football field.
Only five minutes after Ding Kui entered the former stronghold, the fighting in the stronghold stopped.
The third master was attacked by two trapped warriors and lost his life in one encounter. Many other bandits died in their dreams.
A group of fourth-level warriors facing most of the bandits who don't even have a combat power level would be a unilateral massacre.
Quan Sihai left a small group of warriors and a small group of knights to guard the horses and prevent any fish from slipping out of the Zhongzhai Village. The others organized their teams and followed Quan Sihai and Lao Qian to attack the gate of the Zhongzhai Village.
From Qianzhai, you can reach Zhongzhai through a 500-meter-long cave. At the end of the cave, there are two huge stone doors. These stone doors are the gates of Zhongzhai.
This stone gate usually has one closed and one open. When a large amount of supplies are transported to Zhongzhai, both stone gates will be opened; when there is an emergency enemy situation, the opened stone gate will be closed.
The archers who rushed over in advance occupied Shimen before the bandits in Zhongzhai could react.
In fact, as long as the sentry in Qianzhai pulls the rope, stones will fall from the stone gate and the gong will ring. However, the cooperation between Lao Qiantou, Quan Sihai and Jiang Nan was flawless. When they occupied the wall, the sentry in Qianzhai did not do anything.
Unknown to them, by the time the archers arrived, the situation was no longer under their control.
The valley in Zhongzhai is quite large, twenty times the size of the former village, and the terrain is undulating. It is obviously impossible to kill all the bandits in Zhongzhai silently.
They decided to divide their troops into two groups. Ding Kui followed the housekeeper and Lao Qiantou, and Quan Sihai led ten wind-listening archers, twenty shield-breaking knights, and twenty trapped warriors to attack the back village; Jiang Nan led the remaining people
Clean up Zhongzhai and deal with the big boss who may still be in Zhongzhai.
The leader felt uneasy all day, so he came to the back village to discuss with the military advisor.
The two talked all night, and both felt that it was unreasonable for Deacon Wu to use this matter to frame them.
While they were discussing, two mysterious men came together.
A month ago, two masters secretly sneaked into Funiu Village and sent arrows and left a message to remind the big master to be careful of the revenge of the Marquis Protector. Only then did the big master realize that something was wrong with the second master and his party.
After meeting with these two mysterious people, the big boss got more news: the Jiang family, one of the ten great dukes in the kingdom, sent a squadron of knights to vent their anger on the grandson of the dukes. Quan Sihai, the former commander of the 75th Division, also
Before rushing to Xiaxi Town, we must defend the old commander's family honor.
No matter which news it is, it is a big shock to the boss. The first person to bear the wrath of this group is Funiu Mountain. I have occupied Funiu Mountain for almost 20 years, and I really can’t bear to abandon the foundation that I have worked so hard to build.
.
The Funiu Mountain Range is the junction of several cities in Pingzhong County. It has no minerals and no special resources. It is a dispensable place for the major city lords.
Since the Great Master established his stronghold here, he has never been attacked. In addition to the fact that each city does not have the strength to take down Funiu Mountain independently, the reason is that he will not touch the bottom line of nearby city lords, and even maintains a certain tacit understanding with them.
This time he took the risk to cooperate with the Cai family in Kengzhu City. The head of the family always believed that Deacon Wu represented the Cai family and secretly plotted to kill the heirs of the Hou Guoguo. He originally thought that there would be interference from the Cai family. Even if the matter failed, the shameless Marquis who had lost power would not tolerate him.
Nothing.
Who would have thought that their goal had a more terrifying backstage? The people sent by the Jiang family were enough to demolish his cottage. It is estimated that the Cai family in Kengzhu City would not even dare to fart.
The two mysterious masters both wore masks, and they called each other brothers. The taller one was the eldest brother, and the shorter but extremely muscular one was the second brother.
The mysterious eldest brother came to the room and said directly to the boss: "There are people from outside the mountain. The people in your front village and the middle village are probably dead."
"What! How do you know?" The boss was surprised.
"The trap I arranged outside has been destroyed. The enemy should have arrived at the foot of the mountain in Houzhai. They just tried to climb up the cliff, touched my trap and then retreated." The mysterious brother said in a deep voice.
"Have we arrived at the foot of Houzhai Mountain? I hope that my two friends can help me. Let's fight down the mountain to repel the incoming enemies and rescue the brothers in the village." The leader calmed down and bowed down to salute the two mysterious men.
.
"Master, please don't be anxious. We need to find out the enemy's situation first before we can make long-term plans." The mysterious second brother quickly supported him with both hands.
"According to the information we have received, there are at least two fifth-level combatants who invaded Funiu Mountain this time. Jiang Nan, led by the Jiang family, is a fearless knight in the early stage; Quan Sihai, the former commander of the 75th Division, is a general in the mid-term.
Samurai. As for whether the two fifth-level masters from the Ding family have come, we don't know yet." The mysterious eldest brother explained to the boss.
"The Protector of the Country probably won't come in person, but the 'Death Grip' Ding Kun next to him is very likely to have come to Funiu Mountain." The mysterious second brother analyzed from the side.
"'Death Grip' Ding Kun? Who is this? What is his rank?" The boss has never heard of this person.
"Only the old people in the army can remember this man. He was originally the captain of the death squad. He was fearless in every battle and made many contributions. Later, he was appreciated by the old protector of the country and was directly promoted to a personal guard.
After that, he slowly faded out of public view.
It wasn't until the Ding family was attacked eleven years ago that only he, Ding Qi and Ding Qi crawled out of the pile of dead people holding a newborn baby. No one remembered that there was such a person." The mysterious second brother said,
There was a look of fear in one eye.
"'Death Grip' was already a slaying samurai when he was in the Death Warrior Brigade. Judging from what happened eleven years ago, it is speculated that he has not yet broken the final shackles of body training and been promoted to the final level of the samurai.' Great Martial Master
'." The mysterious brother continued to explain.
"Hiss, so he is probably a late-stage general-slaying warrior." The master couldn't help but be surprised. He has worked hard for so many years and robbed so many resources. He is now almost fifty years old and is still only in the early stages of fearlessness.
knight.
Facing the "death grip" that might have been used to kill the samurai in the later stage eleven years ago, the boss has no chance of winning.
"You are right, to be honest, I am a sunset archer in the early stage, and my brother is a general-killing warrior in the mid-stage. If the enemy is Ding Kun, Quan Sihai, and Jiang Nan, then we have no chance of winning." The mysterious elder brother continued to analyze.
"Speaking of his ambition, just two general-killing warriors, Ding Kun and Quan Sihai, could fight the three of us to a draw against the enemy on the plains." This untimely interjection of the mysterious second brother made everyone laugh.
The master's face turned even paler.
"The only good news now is that with the steep terrain of Houzhai and the traps I have set up during this period, there is still hope of dealing with them. Moreover, the other party may not necessarily be the three masters here."
Seeing that the heat was coming, the mysterious elder brother changed his tone and comforted the boss.
For the two mysterious masters, the best outcome is that both Fu Niushan, Ding Kui and others will suffer losses, and there may be a chance to kill a fifth-level master from the Ding family; the worst outcome is to leave immediately without any benefit.
Less than.
As for the boss's hope that they will fight to the death together, it can only be wishful thinking.
"In that case, I have a plan!" the military advisor who had been silent for a long time said.
The big boss and the mysterious brother looked at the military advisor together.
