In the valley, the bloody fighting officially kicked off.
The number of crossbows is limited, and their scattering power over long distances is limited. However, once they swoop down from a high place and shoot downwards, their lethality will increase exponentially or even several times. Crossbows, in particular, are not good at long-distance shooting.
But as long as the distance is reduced to within ten feet, it will be a huge killer. Ordinary people without armor have no ability to resist.
Hundreds of people rushed down from the valley. Most of these people had hunting experience. They were extremely skilled in using bows and crossbows. With the help of inertia, they fired two bursts of "swish", and the valley suddenly became filled with howls.
There were two to three hundred people who narrowly escaped from the flash flood, but most of them were ordinary people who were unarmed and in shock. They were so frightened that they had no time to react and fell down in pieces like wheat.
"cracking--"
The horses are bigger, so injuries are inevitable. In pain, they flail their hooves wildly and run wildly.
"You go first!"
After Xingmin finished speaking, he put the reins into Moli Moli's hands, jumped back, "Linhai Guards, follow me!" He called more than ten horse guards, but he actually turned back to meet those who were escaping.
of people.
"Lord——"
Moli Moli was frightened and anxious. She quickly turned around, drew her knife and chased after him.
"This stupid woman."
Wen Wu saw this and cursed secretly. But at this time, seeing those hundreds of bandits, let's just call them bandits, they took advantage of the terrain and shot indiscriminately, leaving a lot of casualties in the valley.
Bloody, he had no time to complain and walked straight forward, "Captain Li Shi, how about you lend me some horses? I'll go for a walk."
The hunters from the Sizoufang all looked over, and their eyes all said 'Are you crazy?'. It took a lot of effort to divert the firepower away. Doesn't going out mean seeking death?
"oh?"
Li Shi stood in front, frowning, and turned around after hearing the sound.
Wen Wu continued: "There are many people on the other side. Once we kill them all, do you think they will let dozens of us go?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.
"Ha, that makes sense! Okay! I'll let you go! Xiaopang, Yutou, a team of you come to me! The others are guarded by me!"
"yes!"
"I want to go too!" Suddenly, a young man with bright eyes, white skin and tender flesh walked out of the crowd.
"Just stay still!"
Li Shi roared, scaring the young man so much that his neck shrank.
Wen Wu took a closer look and saw that this young man was clearly a girl disguised as a man, and he looked familiar at first glance. He took a second look, but unexpectedly the other person glared at him, which made him embarrassed. But
This glare made him think of it. Isn't this the little girl in charge of registration that he met at Sishufang?
"What are you still doing? If you don't leave, everyone will die."
Li Shi turned around, grinned and sneered: "Are you afraid now?"
Wen Wu woke up in shock, smiled calmly, found a horse and jumped on it. Although Sishufang tried its best to save some supplies, there were still not many horses left, only eight or nine in total.
"Little Fatty, keep an eye on this little brother, don't let him die."
"oh!"
"No need..." Wen Wu was about to decline, but then he saw the chubby appearance and realized that he was also a familiar face. Isn't he the fat man who participated in the evaluation together at Sishoufang? But after not seeing each other for a while, the other person has lost weight.
A little older, although he still looks fat, he has become more muscular. He holds a shield in each hand, just like a big human shield.
"Hey, brothers——"
Li Shi looked forward and smiled sinisterly, "Someone has an idea for us today. What do you think we should do?"
"kill!!!"
"Hahahahahaha——, then kill!"
With a wild laugh, Li Shi's left hand was red with blood, and his right hand was a long axe. He took the lead and rushed out. Six or seven riders followed closely behind, shouting loudly. Not only did they not have the slightest fear, they actually seemed to be a little excited.
Wen Wu hurriedly followed, but couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. Why do you look more like gangsters?
"Don't panic! Run forward! Run forward! Don't stop!"
In the valley, the people who fled were not completely without resistance. Most of the people in the medicine hall survived, and Li Kuang also survived. He shouted at the top of his throat, organizing people to defend and counterattack. He was a member of the cavalry and archery battalion.
The instructor had top-notch archery skills, and he shot back arrows from time to time, almost 100% of the time, killing seven or eight bandits in the valley.
"Kill--"
At this time, many bandits came down from the hillside and killed them. These people were not very brave and fearless of death, but they just grabbed the property first and the property scattered on the ground, and the panicked and helpless women were their targets.
"You dare!"
With a sudden roar, several bandits were knocked away. However, a group of people led by Chu Tian, guarded by Li Kuang and others, fought together with the bandits. Although Chu Tian was not a martial artist, he
After all, he is a Qi practitioner, and no matter how mediocre his boxing and kicking skills are, he is still not comparable to ordinary bandits. Basically, any bandits that come close to him cannot block his punches and palms.
"Lieutenant Li!"
"Tai, you, why are you back!"
Li Kuang turned around and looked, immediately horrified.
It was Xingmin who came back after his departure. Without any nonsense, he loudly ordered, "Listen to me. You and I will each stay on one side, clear a path, and escort them over!"
"But……"
"This is an order! Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
"Yes, yes!"
Li Kuang broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly called the remaining guards to guard one side of the valley to resist more and more mountain bandits rushing down. The two sides strangled each other, and shouts of killing suddenly broke out.
Chu Tian was surprised and suspicious, and glanced at Xingmin.
"Grandpa, save me——"
"Don't be afraid of the clerk!"
Dozens of people gathered around, some were wounded, some had weak legs and could not walk at all. When Chu Tian saw Chu Wenwen crying and shouting in the crowd, Chu Tian was upset and had no time to think about it. He looked around and racked his brains to think.
How to get out.
However, there is no way to escape.
Although many people in the convoy are still alive, most of them are weak and frightened ordinary people. Who are the opponents of hundreds of vicious people? Even if Xingmin and others are included, there are only a few dozen people in total who are capable of resisting.
, it was only a matter of time before they were consumed, surrounded, killed and annihilated. Chu Tian gritted his teeth and was in a dilemma. With his own ability, it was not a big problem to save Chu Wenshu and break through the encirclement alone. But in this way, not to mention losing face,
Even if I can go back alive, I'm afraid I won't be able to avoid a punishment.
"Fight with me!"
On the other side, Xingmin did not passively engage in the battle at all. He led a dozen personal guards and went straight up the slope to counterattack. He broke the neck of a bandit who came over and grabbed a long knife.
"Lord, be careful!"
Moli Moli slashed down a bandit who was firing cold arrows.
"Didn't I tell you to leave?"
"I……"
"Forget it, just follow me!"
Xingmin ignored the blame and rushed towards another prey. However, there were too many people on the other side, and most of them were cunning. Seeing his ferocious momentum, he did not fight him at all, and scattered around, either chasing the lone person or killing him.
They robbed the finances and fired cold arrows when they had time... Xingmin and his party only had about ten people. They focused on one thing but not the other. Even if the force was stronger, there were still casualties.
On the hillside, dozens of bandits were watching with cold eyes.
One of them stared at the red-eyed Xingmin and his group, looked at it for a moment, and then waved, "Do it!"
"yes."
Everyone covered their faces, dispersed quietly, and blended into the bandits. No one in the valley noticed their presence, let alone noticed that they quietly moved toward Xingmin, forming a siege.
