Chapter 265: Night Battle Qingdian Town (Medium)
Seeing that his brother was close to him, and that he was tied there as if he had been so humiliated, the three horse thieves who rushed in front of him were immediately furious, and without thinking much about it, they immediately rode their horses and rushed over. And Hu Mingzong and Bai Kuan, who had just turned the road behind them, changed their faces suddenly after seeing this scene, and the latter shouted even more urgently: "Slow down, be careful of deception!" ”
Since it was the people in the official mansion who caught their brothers, it was impossible to leave them in such an open place for no reason, there must be some terrible trap waiting for them nearby, Cao Xinxiong and the others were just bait to lure them into being fooled!
At the same time, Cao Xinxiong, who was firmly tied, and the three of them also struggled hard at this time, and their mouths were even more whimpering, looking excited. Apparently they knew what was going to happen, but they couldn't speak, so they could only stare at them and scream in the middle of a warning.
But it was too late to be reminded on either side, and the horsemen and horses rushed so fast that in the blink of an eye they had run to the bonfire, and then, hearing only a loud noise, the ground in front of them sank so sharply that the three horsemen and horses fell down. First it was an exclamation, and then it turned into a scream of sorrow.
When the brothers behind reacted and stepped forward to take a look, they all changed their faces and shouted in anger: "What a sinister method, there are even spikes down there!" "It turned out that this trap was not only a pit covered with floating earth, but also a spike made of wood with the thickness of a human leg inserted at the bottom, and as soon as the three horsemen fell into it, the spikes pierced their bodies, and both men and horses were seriously injured.
As soon as they heard this, several horse thieves hurriedly stepped forward and quickly took out the ropes from their horses' harnesses, trying to help rescue their brothers from the pit, but just as they were moving forward, several sharp sounds suddenly sounded from the side, and the two horse thieves who were standing on the edge of the pit on horseback had no time to react, and they were pierced by the necks by sharp arrows, and fell off their horses with a scream.
Well, they hadn't rescued their brother yet, but they had gone first. This change made the other horse thieves stunned suddenly, until Hu Mingzong shouted: "Give me back!" Then they came to their senses and turned their horses around. But their movements were still a beat slower, and several sharp arrows flew from the side, but this time they shot at the torso of the body that was more difficult to dodge, and the two horse thieves were struck again, and with a muffled grunt, they were already lying on their horses.
The other horse thieves just wanted to help them pull their horses back, and two arrows came, but the horse thieves waved their weapons but blocked the air, and the two arrows actually shot directly into the two wounded mounts, and the horses neighed as soon as they were in pain, and suddenly the people stood up, and immediately threw the two horse thieves who were injured and lying on their backs and fell to the ground, and then rushed forward desperately, but rushed the horse thieves in front of them into chaos.
Bai Kuan's face was even more nervous at this time, and when he saw this, he immediately shouted: "Come back, that bonfire is set up for aiming!" He really had to admire the calculation of the man who had set up such a trap, and he actually thought of taking advantage of his brother's weakness to save people's hearts to set up an ambush, and they had killed and wounded seven or eight of his brothers without even seeing each other. Because he knew that his opponent was powerful, he could only forcibly order: "Leave the injured person alone, return first!" ”
Finally, Bai Kuan, as the second master, has a lot of prestige in the hearts of the brothers, and at this time, he finally made the other people understand, and hurriedly waved the knife to protect Zhou's body, and on the other hand, he had urged the horse to quickly run away from the lighting of the bonfire over there, and behind them, the two companions were still screaming and moaning on the edge of the trap, which looked particularly strange and miserable under the swaying firelight.
It's just that this time they didn't dare to come forward to save people again, the other party made it clear that there was an ambush of the archer on the side, and then they would be shot as a target, not to mention saving people, they had to get in, no one would do such a loss-making deal. It's just that the faces of the horse thieves have been distorted, and the anger is overflowing, they have been crisscrossing the Jeju area for several years, and they have never suffered such a big loss.
"Boss, the idea is prickly, I have been prepared, it is impossible to save people like this, I can only find them first and then think of it." Bai Kuan had quickly made up his mind, glanced at Hu Mingzong and said.
Hu Mingzong immediately understood his intentions, his eyes first swept over the two brothers on the edge of the trap, and after flashing a trace of guilt, he pointed his hand to a house on the right side: "He's there, follow me!" As he spoke, he slapped the horse's stock, and rushed towards the target, and the man had already flipped to the side and hid under the horse's belly, naturally to guard against the archer's cold arrows.
The other brothers all shouted and rushed towards the dwelling as they could, and some of them had already bent their bows and arrows as they rushed forward, and five or six feathered arrows flew out of the air at once, and shot into the dwelling one step ahead of them.
But just when Hu Mingzong took the lead and rushed to a distance of only seven or eight feet from the dwelling, suddenly the horse under him was a long mournful roar, and then the four hooves were soft, and the whole horse fell down with a bang, and it was only then that Hu Mingzong exclaimed: "Everyone be careful, they actually laid down thistles!" As he spoke, he pressed one hand on the horse's back, and the borrower had already soared up like a Dapeng bird, and at the same time took advantage of the situation to draw the simple knife placed on the horse's side in his hand. For fear of being injured by thistles, Hu Zongming did not dare to land easily at this time, and when he swept to the front of the house, he quickly climbed a pillar in front of the house with his empty left hand.
Just the timely response when this hand was in distress, as well as the light body kung fu of changing the direction of the flying body, had already made many brothers who were in an emergency stop behind the horse cry out a good cry. To be honest, in the past few years, they have rarely seen their own boss display martial arts, because the general looting is solved by their brothers, and they don't need to be the boss himself.
But at the moment when they just shouted, as soon as Hu Zongming climbed onto the roof, two cold lights suddenly flashed across him, slashing straight at his neck, waist and abdomen. Someone was already waiting for him on the roof early in the morning, and the timing of the attack was quite accurate, it was the moment when he used his old body and new strength to attack.
"Despicable!" The horse thieves below immediately shouted and scolded, but they couldn't rush to the rescue for a while, and could only anxiously watch their boss fall into a desperate situation, but they didn't know what to do. At this time, don't say that they don't have time to release arrows to support, even if they have time, they don't dare to release arrows, after all, the two are so close, no one dares to guarantee who will be hurt by an arrow.
A good Hu Mingzong, at this dangerous juncture, his face did not change, only to hear him suddenly shouted, his body shrank suddenly, and at the same time, the Pu knife in his hand hit horizontally, and he flashed the knife from above so dangerously, and at the same time blocked the second knife from the waist, but after all, there was a slight deviation in the action, and his left arm was still grazed by the blade, bringing out a slip of blood. At the same time, his body also fell heavily on the roof like a scale, and when he heard a loud noise, he smashed the tiles on his head into a big hole, and the person fell down.
Not to mention those horse thief accomplices this time, it was the opponent in front of him, Hu Rong, who was holding two knives, didn't expect this change, and people were stunned. She thought that with this sneak attack, she could kill the leader of the horse thieves, but she didn't expect that he could dodge it in such a strange way.
Only Hu Mingzong himself knew that he had suffered a lot of losses this time, not to mention that the knife in his arm was not light, just smashing on the roof had hurt his legs, and when he fell, he hit the beam again, which was really painful. But he understands that if he doesn't do this, his situation will only be more dangerous, and the opponent will inevitably have an endless stream of back moves after a blow, and then he will be even more unable to parry in the case of losing the first opportunity, so it is the best choice to risk being injured and falling below.
At the same time, he has also learned a lesson, people have been on guard in mid-air, and Pu Dao has covered his own plate in a dance, this time even if someone underneath sneaks up again, he can deal with it. But as a result, until he slammed to the ground, he was not attacked again, and the room was dark and quiet, and it was empty!
"That's not right! The archer wasn't on the roof, could he have gone somewhere else? Hu Mingzong's heart sank, and immediately regardless of the injury on his leg, he swept towards the door with an arrow, kicked the door open, and rushed out. He was really afraid that his brothers would be attacked by someone again, and he couldn't even care about the movement of the broken tiles and someone falling from the top of his head behind him.
At the same time that he broke the roof and fell into the house, Bai Kuan had already quickly ordered: "Release the arrow!" "Now that the boss has gone down, then they don't have any more worries, shoot this enemy first.
Only then did those horse thieves understand, and immediately raised their hands to shoot arrows at Hu Rong, who was also a little stunned on the roof, seeing that these arrows were about to hit her, a figure next to her suddenly swept up, and with a shake of the spear in his hand, he had already danced out of a large net, and all those arrows were thrown out, and it was Zhu Saburo who came to the rescue in time.
It turned out that the two of them had been ambushed on this roof early in the morning according to Sun Tu's arrangement, but it was only because of their pride as a martial artist that he didn't attack Hu Mingzong when Hu Rong attacked him. Otherwise, no matter how great Hu Mingzong's ability is, he will be seriously injured if he is not killed by the sneak attack of the two.
But when he saw the horse thief releasing arrows to hurt Hu Rong, Zhu Saburo couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately flew out of the hiding place to help her block these random arrows, and at the same time exerted force under his feet like Hu Mingzong, so he took Hu Rong and fell to the bottom together. He knew very well that the two of them would inevitably become targets if they stayed on the roof, so it was better to go down and confront the leader of the horse thieves.
Suddenly lost the target, so that the horse thieves were stunned again, at this time, the door in front of them suddenly broke open, and a person strode out, when they subconsciously raised their bows to shoot, only to see that it was their own boss.
At the same time, an arrow flew from the roof of the house on the side, directly grabbing Hu Mingzong's side neck.
This is Sun Tu's real killer move!
