Nine hundred and seventieth chapters another killer
Otherwise, these arrows would not be shot from their side and front, but from both sides of them, and they did not notice it in advance. Even though there were many masters on their side, few of the ordinary soldiers could survive the rain of arrows.
Come down.
But even so, after this rain of arrows, forty or fifty ordinary soldiers screamed and fell off their horses, and nearly a hundred war horses were hit by arrows.
Wang Junlin suddenly felt very distressed. This is Fanyang County, unlike Yongzhou in the northwest. As long as there is money to buy thousands of war horses, it is nothing. But even if there is money here, it is not easy to buy war horses. There are more than five to five hundred war horses.
When he first came to Fanyang County, the thousand cavalrymen who surrounded him failed to attack him, and nearly half of them were killed. The horses left behind, Wang Junlin later asked someone to find a way to buy some from the Khitan people in the north, so that he could get enough for the army.
There were five hundred war horses, and after this wave of arrows, there were more than a hundred dead and injured. How could he not feel distressed.
Such a powerful crossbow attack and the opponent's careful preparation made Wang Junlin feel a hint of death.
The rain of crossbows was still flying, and there was a sound of howling and neighing at the entrance of the valley. At the beginning of the attack, Wang Junlin's advance warning and last shout played a very important role. A group of masters and nearly half of the soldiers were hiding in
After getting off the horse, those who did not dodge, such as Chunqiu Valley Master and Chunqiu Nu, could easily knock the arrow aside. Moreover, the insect demon was also responsible for watching Lu Youwei and protecting him by the way.
The naval officers were not slow to react and also hid under the horse's belly. Those who were not good at riding jumped off the horse and crawled on the ground to avoid the arrows.
Wang Junlin watched with his own eyes as the crossbow arrows pierced the bodies and heads of several soldiers behind him, and penetrated into the chests, abdomens and eye sockets of the horses, piercing and tearing them away from the living flesh and blood to which they were attached.
As long as you dodge the slow ones, there is no way to avoid it. More than two hundred soldiers who were slow to react were killed by the first rain of arrows. Those who were lucky enough to survive were seriously injured and dying, and those horses were neighing miserably.
He fell to the ground, blood stained the ground at the mouth of the valley, and it looked terrible.
There are corpses everywhere, arrows everywhere, blood everywhere, and death everywhere.
Chunqiu Valley Master suddenly let out a loud roar, and his whole body flew up, about to shoot away into the valley.
However, while he was in mid-air, with a thunderous sound breaking through the air, a giant crossbow arrow suddenly shot out from the woods on the hillside in front of him, shooting straight into the chest of the Chunqiu Valley Master, as fast as lightning.
However, almost at the same time, the Chunqiu Valley Master roared again and pulled out the long black knife that he almost never pulled out.
With a dull and loud bang, the giant crossbow arrow was cut into pieces by the Spring and Autumn Valley Master and fell to pieces.
However, the Chunqiu Valley Master had already taken the opportunity to kick off the bluestone on the ground, rushing into the mountain forest, and then a series of screams came from the mountain forest.
At the same time, a thin golden shadow also ran extremely quickly into the woods on the hillside on the left.
The others were not strong enough and could only continue to crawl. The horses were blocking them and the arrows could no longer hit them. However, the horses kept being shot to death.
When Wang Junlin saw this scene, his eyes were already icy cold, and the murderous intention in his heart was already overwhelming. But his expression became calmer, because only calmness can carry out the most effective counterattack.
"Kill the dog officer."
"Kill the dog officer."
Suddenly, in the woods on both sides, apart from the screams caused by the Spring and Autumn Valley Master and the insect demon's little golden snake, there was a shout, and then a thousand people were seen rushing out with knives.
Wang Junlin shouted: "Get up and prepare to defend yourself against the enemy."
Shan Xiongxin shouted loudly: "If the soldiers hesitate, they will be killed first! Anyone who escapes before the battle will be killed!"
Saying the word "kill" twice in one breath, he had organized the remaining nearly four hundred soldiers together to form a battle formation. Because the war horses were basically all scrapped except for the blood-maned horses, the soldiers could only walk on foot.
However, the Fu soldiers mainly practice infantry warfare, and Shan Xiongxin is also proficient in infantry warfare.
Nearly thirty masters from the Lanyi Guards and the Martial Arts League had all gathered around Wang Junlin and Xiang Xiang. Wang Junlin asked nine naval officers and Lu Youwei to come over as well, and placed them in the middle.
Protect it.
Under the leadership of Shan Xiongxin, more than 400 soldiers from the government gradually calmed down and began to step down from the battle formation. The swarms coming from the valley were clearly a group of thieves dressed as bandits and grassroots bandits. However, seeing how they had just shot arrows and charged at this time, it was absolutely impossible to see them.
Not an ordinary bandit.
Fortunately, these nearly four hundred soldiers have undergone rigorous training by Shan Xiongxin for more than a month. What's more, fifty of them were selected from the hundreds of guard masters brought by Wang Junlin. Under their leadership, these nearly four hundred soldiers
The four hundred soldiers are considered elite.
Soon, a hollow military formation with a radius of six feet was set up between the mouth of the valley. General Wang Junlin and a group of masters and naval officers around him were roughly surrounded in the center.
The enemy troops were numerous in number, but their organization was very chaotic. Although they were obviously fierce, they looked like green forest bandits, and they were probably not from the same village. It was obvious that the Lu family spent a lot of money to unite them all.
At the same time, of course, it is also possible that these bandits were originally secretly cultivated by the Lu family, just like they had previously cultivated the five thousand pirates on Snake Island.
On the other hand, Wang Junlin's nearly 400 soldiers were much more disciplined and could not be easily broken by the opponent for a while. It was just that the thickness of the battle formation was too thin. Moreover, every time the enemy troops that rushed forward were killed, they were beaten back.
It will become thinner and thinner.
Wang Junlin immediately sent out thirty masters. However, he did not send them to join the battle formation, because that would mess up the battle formation of the soldiers. He directly asked these thirty masters to jump out of the battle formation and charge into the mountain.
Among the thieves, only Xiang Xiang, Zhong Yao, Chun Qiu Nu, Lu Youwei and nine navy generals remained in the formation.
On the hillsides on both sides in the distance, the screams had stopped. It was obvious that the Spring and Autumn Valley Master and the insect demon's little golden snake had arrived.
Although these bandits numbered two to three thousand, Wang Junlin knew that these people could not hurt him. However, he did not know how much money they had taken from the Lu family or what kind of promises they had received. They were extremely brave. If they killed all of them, it would be estimated that this amount of money would be lost.
The nearly 400 soldiers are almost exhausted, and even the more than 30 masters will be killed or injured.
"The Lu family may have an ambush that hasn't shown up." Wang Junlin was frowning in thought, and Xiang Xiang had already said next to him.
Wang Junlin nodded and said: "Yes, there should be a more powerful trump card, otherwise..."
The second half of his sentence was quickly swallowed up by a flood of shouts. A mountain king with a purple-black face led dozens of bandits on tall horses and suddenly rushed from behind the bandits. He looked very brave.
