Mai Tiezhang's face suddenly became extremely gloomy. He had come all the way and sent out to search everywhere. The more than twenty green forest heroes who were on guard were already in danger. The most important thing was that they were now blocked here. He
Even among the masters of the Breaking Stage, he is the best, but there is only one exit, and there are troops outside blocking it with crossbows and hard bows. If you want to forcefully rush out, it is a matter of life and death.
Some people thought of climbing over the wall in other directions, but as soon as their heads showed up, they were shot off the wall by crossbow arrows. After several green forest heroes died, no one dared to climb up the wall.
"Old Mai, it's bad, this courtyard has been surrounded by people, and there are no less than a thousand enemy soldiers outside." Niu Jinda, the only one who climbed up the wall without being shot to death and jumped down alive, roared through gritted teeth.
The green forest heroes suddenly changed their colors. Although they were all tough guys who dared to fight, but they were trapped in such a fatal situation, and it was useless to fight any more!
"Tear down the door, dismantle the tables and chairs, and find something that can block the arrows. Hurry up, and then I will lead everyone to rush out." Mai Tiezhang regained his composure at this time and gave the most correct instructions.
The green forest heroes had a backbone and immediately started moving. Soon everyone found something that could block the arrows. The Mai Iron Staff was so powerful that he directly carried the door he had broken before.
"Come out and live." Mai Tiezhang roared, holding the door in one hand and an iron gun in the other, and rushed out first. The others gathered behind him in three groups. The broken door alone blocked all the space in the front, and the ones behind him
People blocked both sides with things in their hands. With their speed, if there were no accidents, they would be able to rush into the surrounding army and engage in close combat in just ten breaths. And as long as they fought in close combat, they would be confident of fighting a bloody way out.
"Fire rockets!" Wang Junlin, who was invisible in the black lift from a distance, seemed to have anticipated this scene, and gave the order calmly.
Then a rocket covered the shop front, table, case and other objects in the hands of the green forest heroes. These things were all made of wood, and the rocket was specially wrapped with kerosene, so the arrow-blocking objects in their hands burned instantly.
Get up. The green forest heroes were so frightened that they quickly threw out the objects in their hands to block arrows. Some green forest heroes who were slow to react and had objects that were too small were ignited and instantly turned into a burning man. They let out a shrill scream.
The fearless green forest hero finally showed a look of horror on his face.
At this time, they had just rushed out of the courtyard less than ten steps, but they were already completely exposed to the opponent's crossbows. If they rushed forward casually, they would all be shot to death within fifty steps.
Mai Tiezhang reacted very quickly, and immediately shouted to the more than 60 green forest heroes who were still alive, back to back, forming a circular formation facing outwards. In this way, each of them only needed to open the crossbow arrows in front of them.
It turns out that with their weakest strength at the foundation stage, it is not difficult to knock away ordinary bows and arrows at a certain distance. But when the distance is closer, and the opponent uses steel whose arrow speed is much faster than the bow.
When the crossbow is fired, they will have no choice but to seek death.
"Let's go!" Mai Tiezhang knew that the longer they delayed, the less likely they would be to survive, so as soon as they formed a circular formation, they took him as the leader and rushed towards one of the directions in small steps. This direction was different.
It was not a random choice. In that brief moment, he had already judged from the noisy sounds in this direction and the arrows fired before. Although the soldiers in this direction could not be called a mob, they were definitely not elite.
"Shoot!" The one who issued the order in the darkness was no longer Wang Junlin, but Jingzhao Yin Wangtong who hurriedly led a thousand soldiers. Wang Junlin immediately handed over the command of the scene to the other party, and even handed over one hundred and twenty of his own soldiers.
The guards all withdrew from the encirclement, leaving the important task of encircling and capturing or killing Mai Tiezhang to Wang Tong. This was originally the most important part of Wang Junlin's plan.
Wang Tong is a Jingzhao Yin, but in the important area of the capital, hundreds of thieves sneaked into the city to assassinate the princes of the imperial court. If he can't keep all these thieves today, he, the Jingzhao Yin, will not only be sent to other states to serve as governors afterwards.
It's so simple. The civil and military officials, mainly the Guanlong clan and the Zhongxing family, who almost occupied the whole dynasty, will inevitably impeach him. Even the emperor will be forced to punish him for his dereliction of duty. Therefore, at this moment, Wang Tong is against the king
Junlin was filled with gratitude and hated the thieves deeply.
Naturally, Wang Junlin would not tell him that the leader of these thieves was the great hero Zuo Tunwei General Mai Tiezhang, who had just returned from the rebellion in Shu. He would also be waiting for something extremely wonderful to happen.
Wang Tong obviously also wanted to capture people alive, so he did not order everyone to use rockets again. Instead, he divided a thousand people into two groups, and each group of 500 people took turns to kill them with ordinary feather arrows.
Amidst the sound of arrows piercing the air, the remaining sixty or so green forest heroes showed great strength. Under the threat of life and death, they danced with the weapons in their hands for four consecutive rounds, and only seventeen people died. It can be seen that,
Mai Tiezhang has a high prestige among these people. Under his instructions, there is no panic at all. As long as there is a death, he will immediately shrink the circle formation, always leaving no gaps in the circle formation, ensuring that everyone is only responsible for the arrows in front of them.
.And they had unknowingly pushed forward more than thirty steps, and were less than thirty steps away from the nearest soldiers.
"Sir Wang, the thieves are fierce. They may be able to escape in close combat. It is best to ask the soldiers to retreat, keep distance, and shoot them slowly." Wang Tong is a civil servant after all, and he is not good at commanding troops to fight. Wang Junlin just said
He ordered Shen Guang and Zhan Peng to bring all the war horses and have all the guards mount their horses, preparing to surround and kill the powerful thieves who might break through the siege. When they turned around and realized that the situation was not good, they quickly alerted Wang Tong.
However, it was already too late. Mai Tiezhang suddenly shouted: "Follow me and rush out!"
Then he rushed towards the nearest government soldiers with his iron spear. Mai Tiezhang worked as a bodyguard for Empress Chen in the Chen Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River during the day, and went to rob hundreds of miles away at night. The horse he used at the beginning was not a war horse, but a war horse.
It was two legs. Although the generals in the Sui army didn't know it, everyone knew about the wheat iron staff that traveled hundreds of miles a day on the green forest road and was known as the magical Taibao.
The Mai Iron Staff was only thirty steps away in two or three breaths, and because he was too fast and had a ferocious aura, the soldiers in front of him were intimidated by his aura and only had time to fire one round, and the accuracy was too poor.
In the center of the courtyard, the beacon fire was stern, the firelight, blood splashed in the air, and dust was raised on the ground. No one was able to defeat the iron rod with a single move. Every time the iron gun moved, a soldier was killed. He was forced to kill him directly in front of him.
He fought his way out of more than a hundred soldiers, and behind him about fifty green forest heroes followed them to expand the victory.
Just now, he was surrounded by a thousand people and shot with arrows. Although Wang Tong and Qianfu soldiers felt that the thieves were powerful, they didn't have a clear understanding. Only then did they realize that these people dared to come to the capital to assassinate them with only a few hundred people.
The princes, especially the famous Qin Anhou who dared to kill, were obviously real masters and talented killers.
Under the close combat and in the darkness, the Qianfu soldiers did not form a battle formation under the command of Wang Tong. Facing these fifty masters whose weakest were all in the foundation building stage, they instantly became overwhelming and were defeated by Mai Tie.
The man with the staff rushed out alive, but in the process, only three of the fifty or so forest heroes were killed.
"Surround us, hurry up, kill a thief, and lose ten gold coins." Wang Tong did not expect that the soldiers under his command who were used to maintain public security in the capital would be so incompetent in close combat with the thieves. In anger, he issued the most correct order at this time.
.
There must be brave men under the heavy reward. The soldiers of the government shouted and rushed forward. However, after a hard fight, there were heavy casualties. Although they were still surrounded, few people dared to stop him head-on.
Wang Tong got smart at this time and ordered the soldiers to keep a distance and shoot the thieves with arrows. However, Mai Tiezhang was so experienced in the battlefield that every time he didn't wait for him to distance himself, Mai Tiezhang would take the initiative to attack with his men.
In the group of Fu soldiers, they always protected and meleeed with the Fu soldiers, so that the Fu soldiers in the distance could not shoot arrows on a large scale by throwing rat weapons.
Not long after, Mai Tiezhang led a group of green forest heroes to fight back to the side entrance. In the process, only five of them died, and now there are forty-one people left.
Seeing that they were about to rush out of Qin'anhou's mansion, Mai Tiezhang and his party were ecstatic, and their fighting and murderous intentions were even stronger. The three hundred soldiers who ran over in advance to block the side door could not hold on for ten breaths before being killed and collapsed.
Scattered and fled.
Mai Tiequan kicked open the side door and rushed out with others, arriving on the street.
At the same time, a cavalry team of about a hundred people suddenly turned from the street in front of the main entrance of Qin'anhou Mansion, and rushed towards the side entrance of Mai Tiezhang and other green forest heroes like a torrent.
"There is a group of government soldiers blocking the road ahead!" Zhan Peng shouted at Wang Junlin on horseback.
"Anyone who dares to block the road will be killed!" Wang Junlin was shocked when he saw fifty paces ahead, more than twenty soldiers wearing Sui khaki military uniforms blocking the intersection.
"There are thieves making trouble. Jing Zhaoyin is ordered to arrest the thieves and the streets are closed!" A low-level officer wearing a sixth-grade soldier's uniform shouted loudly. He thought he was a colleague and would stop negotiating no matter what, even if the other party ended up letting him go.
In the past, he had already delayed the opponent's time. But he did not expect that the speed of the opponent's horse would not slow down at all. Instead, it would speed up and charge straight towards them. Seeing that its momentum was not weaker than that of a thousand troops.
"Quickly get out of the way, anyone who gets in the way will die!" Wang Junlin rode his blood-maned horse with inexplicable excitement and ran straight into it. He had already seen Mai Tiezhang and his party escaping from the side door. If he didn't go through, they would scatter in all directions.
Open and sneak into the surrounding houses. With the strength of these people and the protection of important people in the dark, it will be almost impossible to capture or kill them again.
Seeing the cavalry coming non-stop, the low-ranking officer of the government army was so frightened that he wanted to run away, but the speed of the blood-maned horse was so fast that he was too late.
