Xue Rengui stretched out his bow and nocked an arrow, his eyes slightly condensed into a needle-like shape, and he fixed his eyes on the bandits who were blocked at the entrance to the village in front of him. The two brothers Yuchi and Baolin were showing off their bravery and blocked them with all their might. There were piles of corpses at their feet.
"咻咻咻——"
Three more arrows roared away, tearing through the void, and like three streams of light, they fiercely penetrated into the bodies of the three bandits.
The next moment, Xue Rengui took out three more arrows from the arrow pot next to him, and clasped the arrows on his thumb, index finger and middle finger at the same time. He fully drew the bow without having to take more aim. He shot decisively and three more arrows whizzed away.
The three of them fell to the ground, wailing again and again.
Calm, decisive and precise!
Next to him, Luo Zhang felt itchy and wanted to rush forward to fight, but he did not dare to go against Qin Huaidao's arrangement. Seeing that the arrows in the arrow pot were about to be used up, he quickly opened the cloth bag, took out some arrows from it and put them into the arrow pot.
On one side, a dozen people rushed over and shouted quickly: "Someone is coming over here."
Invisibly, Luo Zhang became the sniper's observer."
Xue Rengui glanced at them and saw that no one had a bow. It would be a while before they came over. He didn't care. He continued to draw his bow and set arrows to kill the bandits at the entrance of the village in front of him, reducing the pressure on Yuchi brothers.
Holding an arrow, drawing the bow, and shooting the arrow, the movements are as smooth as flowing water.
At this moment, Xue Rengui was like a sophisticated killing machine, killing three times at a time without missing a beat.
Luo Zhang saw the charging bandits approaching, so he drew his knife and said, "I'm going to practice my skills."
"We're almost out of arrows." Xue Rengui said, and drew the bow again.
Luo Zhang saw that he was running out of arrows too quickly. He quickly took out a large number of arrows and put them into the quiver. When he saw that the bandits were getting closer, his hands were so itchy that he rushed over like a tiger descending from the mountain.
.
This group of people thought that the archers were incompetent in close combat and were easy to bully. They didn't expect that they were being guarded and were coming with ferocious force. One person shouted: "Brothers, kill them and hack them to death to have a chance to survive."
"kill--"
More than a dozen bandits swarmed up.
Luo Zhang became even more excited when he saw this posture. He pulled out the dog-legged knife with his other hand, stretched it and broke it, then a tiger jumped down, blocking the front of everyone, and slashed with the long knife. The person who just spoke was so frightened that he quickly raised his knife to block.
The two knives collided hard together, causing sparks to fly.
The violent force pressed the bandit to his knees on the spot, and his watch was shaking from the shock. The dog-legged knife in Luo Zhang's other hand struck out like a poisonous snake, and plunged into the opponent's throat. Following Qin Huaidao's example, he took advantage of the situation and pulled it out in one go.
He also slashed at the other person, using both hands to strike a decisive blow, extremely fierce.
In the blink of an eye, Luo Zhang killed several people. When the other bandits saw how fierce Luo Zhang was, they were so frightened that they dispersed and fled away. Luo Zhang chased after him and shouted for a fierce fight, but he didn't notice anyone rushing toward Xue Rengui.
Xue Rengui was multitasking. He had already discovered it. He sneered and didn't care. When he got closer, he suddenly drew his sword and rushed down, as if he was possessed by the god of war.
At this moment, these bandits realized that they had made the stupidest decision. This was not an archer, but a god of death. They ran away quickly, but it was already too late.
Xue Rengui easily cut down a few people and hurried back to the distance. Looking at the almost empty arrow pot, he suddenly understood Qin Huaidao's intention and benefits of arranging Luo Zhang's assistance. He didn't have to worry about being attacked by others, and he didn't have to worry about no one to help him get the arrows after running out.
, you only need to concentrate on shooting and fully utilize the archer's advantages.
"So, archers can still be used like this?"
"If it were a large-scale sneak attack by archers, wouldn't this increase the lethality exponentially?"
…
In the village, Qin Huaidao and others inspected all the wooden houses, hunted down the thirty or so people who were hiding, and then rushed out. Seeing that the bandits could not be killed and were returning from the village entrance, they seemed to be trying to escape from the back mountain, but there were not many left.
People swarmed up, blocked them, and slashed and killed them.
How could the bandits be stopped? They left most of the corpses and ran around. If they could not effectively fight back, Qin Huaidao gave an order and everyone dispersed, fighting on their own, and continued to pursue them.
Yuchi and Baolin brothers caught up with them, covered in blood. Qin Huaidao was startled and asked, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, these bastards." Yuchi Baolin didn't care and rushed to chase them.
Qin Huaidao stopped and saw that Xue Rengui and Luo Zhang were chasing after him in the forest on one side. The remaining bandits were not of concern. He saw a man not far away who was dressed better than the others and looked like a leader. At least he was not an ordinary bandit, so he walked up.
After kicking away the weapon next to the opponent, he asked: "What is it called?"
"Bah, if you dare to touch us, wait for revenge."
"You still have a tough mouth. It was Master Cui Ren who asked us to kill you. Because you were exposed, you must be silenced. Do you understand?" Qin Huaidao said nonsensically.
"No, this is impossible." The other party's face changed drastically.
"Do I need to lie to you, a dying man?" Qin Huaidao said deliberately.
"No - you are lying. We are loyal to the Cui family and have done so many things for the Cui family. How is it possible that the Cui family still needs us?" the other party shouted in disbelief.
Qin Huaidao continued to stimulate: "The Cui family needs you, what a joke?"
The other party became excited: "Didn't we agree that after the snow melts and the road is clear, we should keep an eye on Ziwu Road and prevent a grain of grain from Hanzhong from entering Chang'an from Ziwu Road? Who will kill us for the news that was just sent some time ago?
, you? Yes, it must be you, the Cui family is so cruel, tell me why you want to silence them, we have not been exposed."
"Intercept grain from Ziwu Road after the New Year?" Qin Huaidao was startled, and suddenly realized that there might be a conspiracy behind this. If the price of grain in Chang'an cannot be stabilized, and no grain enters Chang'an after the New Year, the price of grain will continue to rise for a while. It seems that,
The Cui family wants to prolong the cycle of rising food prices, causing long-term food shortages, and make a huge profit.
"Aren't you afraid of civil unrest?"
"Or is it that the civil unrest is also part of it and there is a bigger conspiracy?"
Thinking of this, Qin Huaidao's face changed drastically and he asked: "Why did you intercept the grain merchant?"
"How do I know? Even if I know, why should I tell you?" the other party said, his voice was weak, and his face was as pale as paper in pain.
"Tell me, I'll give you a good time."
The other party knew that he would not survive, so he thought he had been silenced by the Cui family. Otherwise, who would have found this hidden little village? He said resentfully: "Okay, the Cui family is unkind... The leader drank too much and said... he said it, it seemed like
Is it to cooperate with Chang’an’s plan? I’m not sure about the details. Just kill me.”
The voice was weak, but it conveyed a bit of sadness and unwillingness to be abandoned.
Qin Huaidao looked at the opponent's wounds and found that the arteries and blood vessels in his thighs were injured and could not be saved. He kicked him in the head and broke his neck, killing him on the spot. A sense of crisis came to his heart - he really had other plans. The Cui family thought
What are you doing? Or are there more people planning something?
I must go back as soon as possible. The reason why I am still alive is because the imperial court is still there. The family has scruples and dare not expose their strength and fight with all their strength. If the world is really in chaos, there will be no scruples. Not to mention the Wang family who is hiding, the Cui family alone.
It may not be possible to stop it, it must be stopped.
What is the conspiracy?
Qin Huaidao thought to himself, feeling uneasy for no reason.
