After the death order was issued, all the thieves gave up their illusions. During the previous rout, while they were resting below, the leader had personally killed the three people who took the lead in escaping. That was no joke. Everyone had no doubt that if they continued to fight cowardly,
He will kill everyone.
Since they were attacking fiercely, there was no need to cover up. Nearly one hundred and thirty thieves formed a skirmish formation and began to charge upwards, shouting. The piercing chirping of bamboo flutes could be heard on the hillside, and crossbow arrows on the mountain ridges were fired at random. When the formation became
When they dispersed, each bandit scattered across the cross-section of seventy or eighty steps actually had a very small chance of being hit by an arrow. The crossbow arrows above could only be fired at once, and the dense number of crossbow arrows made up for the lack of firepower.
Insufficient. Although this can cover one area, it is a waste of a large number of arrows and can only kill a few thieves. This is also a helpless method. If you shoot randomly, the result is not even as good as concentrated shooting.
The Lin family guards used a large amount of arrows to kill the opponent. Even if there was one less enemy, it would lay the foundation for victory in the subsequent melee fights.
It has to be said that the effect of this is extremely poor. When the last box of crossbows fired by the guards was empty, the opponent had already attacked within 30 distances. And the number of people shot and injured was less than 30. This is still being pursued.
The results of the battle under the constant guidance of the sound of the bamboo flute. The smaller the opponent's number, the more scattered the formation will be, and the less likely it is for direct-fire long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows to kill the opponent.
When there were no more crossbows on the mountain ridge to shoot down, the leader of the thieves immediately understood that the opponent had run out of arrows, so he shouted excitedly: "They are out of arrows, kill them. But if you kill a member of the Lin family, you will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold. I only want the head, no need."
Live! Kill!"
The thieves shouted, no longer concealing their figures, and swarmed towards the mountain ridge.
Before the time for tea, under the light of the embers of the bonfire below the mountain ridge, a ferocious fight was staged again.
This time the battle was more brutal than the last time. Both sides were determined to fight to the death, and no one would give in. The numerical disadvantage, coupled with the distraction of having to prevent the other party from breaking through the fortifications and entering the mountain ridge to kill people from time to time, made the Lin family guard the hospital.
They soon fell into a disadvantage. The opponent's intention was obvious. Their goal was not to kill all the guards. Their target was the Lin family on the mountain ridge. Those people were the targets. So they rushed to the mountain ridge desperately. If not
A stone wall was built before, but it may have collapsed at this moment. It was the stone wall that was half a person's height, which was fully a person's height below the mountain ridge, which made them want to climb over but still had to do it.
Spend some effort. This short obstruction time also buys the nursing home time to respond.
The guards faced the enemy with their backs against the stone wall, as if they wanted to cross the stone wall and step over their bodies. However, each of them was attacked by at least two enemies. There were even seven or eight thieves besieging them.
One person wanted to open a breakthrough. Several guards fell down one after another, and a defensive void appeared in front of the stone wall. The two thieves roared loudly, and bumped their arms sideways, and a stone wall suddenly collapsed, revealing a gap.
"Get the head!" The bandits shouted loudly and rushed towards the gap.
"Block them!" Sun Dayong roared loudly with his eyes cracked, but he was unable to do anything. In front of him were four thieves who were attacking frantically, and he couldn't take action at all. The rest of the people were also entangled and unable to stop them.
Gap. I could only watch as seven or eight thieves climbed up the gap and rushed towards the mountain ridge.
"It's over! It's over!" Sun Dayong's whole body was cold, and he was deflated. He felt a pain in his arm. A steel knife cut away a large piece of flesh on his forearm. The pain was heartbreaking and blood flowed like a stream.
Where the stone wall collapsed, seven or eight thieves shouted excitedly, stepping on the body of the guardian who had fallen to the ground, and rushed to the mountain ridge. They had already seen a group of panicked women at the bonfire in the distance. Those were gold and silver.
, they are all rewards, each person’s head is worth a hundred taels of gold, what a huge fortune that is.
Two thieves who were tall and strong took the lead. They pulled the people next to them behind them and climbed through the gap in the stone wall first. However, just as they raised their heads and were about to get up and rush towards the group of women in front of them, suddenly
, a person spoke coldly above their heads.
"What are you all doing in a hurry?" the man asked quietly, with a hint of ridicule in his voice.
The two thieves stared at the slender man in front of them. They did not recognize the man, but they recognized what the man had in his hands. They were two firearms.
"You...you are..." a thief stammered, pointing at the man.
"I, Lin Jue, am the envoy of the Great Wednesday today. It is very rude for you to come unexpectedly. But I must fulfill my hospitality. Now that I have come, how can I not entertain you. There is no tea and snacks in the mountains and wilderness.
To entertain you, I can only make do with the simplicity and give you a few peanuts. You two, try to see if the peanuts are salty or bland, so I can improve my cooking skills next time to make you more satisfied."
After Lin Jue finished his teasing remarks, he heard two booms and booms, and the whole valley roared. The two thieves were very close to each other, and the two firearms in Lin Jue's left and right hands were almost touching their foreheads. The firearms were almost touching their foreheads.
At the moment of launch, the heads of the two thieves exploded like watermelons hit by a huge hammer. Scalps, skulls, brains, brains, blood and other substances spurted out, knocking out the six or seven people behind who were climbing on the rock.
The face of the thief of the wall was all covered in dirt.
"Master Lin, Master Lin is back!" Hearing the roar of firearms, although they were so dizzy and almost deafened by the shock, the nursing staff immediately realized that Master Lin had arrived.
Lin Jue shouted in a deep voice: "Sun Dayong, none of these thieves can escape. Our reinforcements are coming, and none of them can escape."
Sun Dayong endured the pain in his arm, chopped down a thief with a knife, and shouted: "Follow your orders."
The morale of the guards was greatly boosted, and the thieves were panicked when they saw the power of firearms. The leader of the thieves below shouted loudly: "Lin Jue is the best. Anyone who chops off Lin Jue's head will receive a reward of ten thousand taels. They have no reinforcements, so kill them."
Lin Jue heard that man's voice very familiar, but he had no time to identify it for a moment. Amidst the laughter, the firearm in his hand roared repeatedly, knocking down the six thieves in the gap in the stone wall. At the same time, a white lightning flashed like a thunderbolt.
The shadow had already passed by the side and rushed directly into the battle group. As soon as he took action, a man fell down with his neck covered, and blood splattered from his throat. It was Bai Bing who joined the battle.
Lin Jue killed the eight thieves who tried to climb into the mountain ridge through the gap. He quickly loaded up his ammunition and stayed at the pass of the stone wall. The two sides were fighting together anxiously below. The bastard box could not guarantee a kill, and Lin Jue was worried about accidental injury.
Our own people, therefore, only stayed behind the stone wall to be on guard. Firearms are still useful against those who dare to cross the stone wall. After passing the stone wall or approaching the stone wall, firearms are still useful.
Under the wall, Lin Jue could shoot at close range.
With Lin Jue guarding the stone wall, the guards no longer had any scruples. With Bai Bing joining the battle group, the situation of the war was instantly reversed. Bai Bing's figure was like a ghost and she was rushing through the battle group. Under her hands, there were almost no enemies.
In just a short time, nine people were killed or injured in her hands. The other guards also became more and more courageous as they fought. Master Lin's arrival made them more courageous. Without any second thoughts, they shouted and scolded and fought with all their strength.
The other party also had a death wish, because they had received a death order, and they would die if they retreated, unless the war leader standing on the rock below spoke. But obviously he did not mean this. The number of people on both sides was still unequal, and everyone in the Lin family said that they were occupying
The upper hand, in fact, was only a weak one. People on both sides continued to fall dead and injured, and blood and flesh flew everywhere on the battlefield under the narrow stone beam, and screams continued.
Lin Jue frowned. He wanted to go down to help, but he was afraid that the stone wall might be damaged. While hesitating, his eyes suddenly saw long rows of torches on the official road far down the mountain, heading down the mountain very quickly.
Come rushing.
Lin Jue shouted with great joy: "Our reinforcements have arrived, and none of these thieves can escape."
Everyone also turned their heads and saw the long queue of torches approaching quickly on the official road at the foot of the mountain. Judging from the speed, they should have arrived quickly by running or riding a horse. Lin Jue counted the time and found that it had been three hours since Fang Huanqiu left.
, if Fang Huanqiu rushes into the city to report, the reinforcements will arrive at this moment.
When all the thieves saw this situation, they were in a state of confusion. The leader of the thieves who was supervising the battle below also looked a little panicked. He knew that today's matter might have been defeated. It would be impossible to break through the mountain ridge for a while.
, I’m afraid that even he himself can’t leave.
"Retreat!" the leader waved his hand and gave the order.
"Want to leave? Where to go?" Bai Bing screamed, jumped up, and rushed towards the enemy leader below. Bai Bing knew that Lin Jue wanted to capture him alive, and no one was more suitable to capture him alive than this leader.
Interrogated by Lin Jue.
The leader seemed to ignore Bai Bing's attack and just turned around to leave. Bai Bing handed the green flute blade to his left hand in the air, and his right hand turned into a palm, hitting the leader's back hard. Seeing this palm
Just as he was about to concentrate on the rear of the bandit leader, he suddenly felt the sound of wind blowing from his side. Bai Bing turned around and saw an old man in black appeared out of nowhere and slapped Bai Bing on the head and face.
In desperation, Bai Bing turned his palm and met the old man firmly. He felt a huge force impact, and his heart immediately surged with blood. The force of the rush made Bai Bing's body in the air.
After flipping twice, he lost all his strength. When he landed, he leaned back and almost fell.
"King... let's go. My duty is to protect you. Don't be willful anymore." The old man said in a deep voice.
The masked leader of the thieves snorted coldly and said, "Humph, who wants you to save me? I asked you to help me but you refused. Why are you here to save me this time? I don't appreciate your kindness."
"It doesn't matter whether you appreciate the favor or not. What matters is your safety. I am entrusted by others and I dare not disobey. Let's go, I will escort you away." The old man said in a deep voice.
The masked thief stamped his feet angrily, took out a bamboo whistle from his arms and blew it, then turned around, jumped off the rock, and disappeared. The old man didn't even look at the battle, and followed him into the darkness.
