Chapter 203: Will Soar
Under the leadership of Zhao Wuxian, everyone moved forward together, but they still needed to keep half of their men to guard against the enemy.
Tian Ben, Cheng Luan, Yu Xi and others, after Wang Sun drove the horse to death, they also had a kind of grief and indignation in their hearts.
Earlier, the horses had broken through the wall of twenty or thirty men, and now the remnants of the bandits were frightened and fled in all directions.
Therefore, Zhao Wuxian and the others were able to advance many steps smoothly, and of course, more than a dozen people subconsciously resisted.
"When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!"
Zhao Wuxian is no longer hiding behind everyone, time is pressing, the enemy behind him is very fast, he must be the courage of everyone at this time. The scene was chaotic, and everyone had no time to integrate the queue, so they could only fight on their own, so after shouting loudly, he also held his sword and met it head-on.
The robber directly across from him seemed to be older, more sophisticated, and more prepared. Seeing Wuxian rushing towards with a sword, he swallowed his saliva, swung his hand Changge, and rushed forward.
The eight-foot Ge is longer than the two-foot sword, so it is also a big advantage.
The two were about to stagger, but Zhao Wuxian directly changed direction, bent down, and the long sword in his hand did not stab him in the chest, but skillfully slashed at the enemy's thigh. The tendons on the man's legs were suddenly severed, and he fell to one knee after screaming in pain.
And Zhao Wuxian took the opportunity to raise his sword and stabbed him into his neck from the side, and blood splattered immediately, if he was not mistaken, this was already the sixth person he killed tonight!
After losing one or two more people around, the scattered thieves have been cleared.
On the other side, the thieves who could still control their legs and feet, there were less than thirty people left, and they were retreating step by step, looking at Zhao Wuxian's eyes, as if they had seen a ghost.
They are like headless flies, not knowing whether to stop or flee. But I heard a young boy's immature voice shouting:
"Don't panic! They are already exhausted, and as long as they take these people, they can exchange them for a large amount of money and corn. Your wives and children, women and children who are starving and freezing in the mountains can live with embroidery and clothing. Meat-eating day! If you die unfortunately, you will wait for your wife, and you will have someone to support you! ”
Under the temptation of Yu Rang's words, everyone looked at each other, and they looked at their companions who could already see the outline of their faces dozens of steps away, and their hearts were excited.
That's right, I'll soon be able to join up with the bandits on the other side. With ten against one, why should I run?
Having said that, they no longer dared to step forward to confront Zhao Wuxian and the others.
Yu Rang shouted again: "There is no need to fight, we just need to stand still and not retreat as just now, and stop for a moment!" Gather together and block the way! ”
"Second and third sons, just fight for your life here, fight for wealth!" Those who can enter the mountains to be robbers are some outlaws who have lost hope, and some people gritted their teeth and shouted and coaxed Yu Rang.
At the instigation of greed in the heart. Coupled with the leader's ear and face, and under the persecution of the sword, the remnants of the group of thieves began to be re-entangled. Holding their spears again, they trembled and leaned closer to each other, blocking the way tightly.
So when Cheng Qi saw the new human wall in front of him, he suddenly felt a trace of despair in his heart.
Indeed, the crowd is already weak, and I am afraid, they will not be able to rush away.
Zhao Wuxian stood in the front row with the blood-stained Shaoyu sword, panting. Behind him were Tian Ben and other villagers who were covered in wounds. And only half of the light knights remained. They were eager to try and ask Zhao Wuxian for his life. I want to emulate Wang Sun Qi and break through this last obstacle with a suicidal rush.
But. Zhao Wuxian knew in his heart that the distance was not enough, and Wang Sun Qi had at least twenty steps to accelerate the charge, so he could have that effect. Now, the front and back are forced to be even narrower, only less than ten steps, rushing over, it is just a scuffle, there is no time to escape.
In Yu Rang's opinion, the same is true, all the struggles are useless!
I don't know what kind of mind drove him, he stood up and shouted at Zhao Wuxian opposite, "Is it the gentleman of the Zhao family?" Abandon your sword and surrender, I swear that I will save your life for a while. Otherwise, it only takes a few breaths for us to join forces with our companions behind us, and you will not be able to escape from the wings! ”
Zhao Wuxian smiled dumbly, in front of him, the young thief with a round bun, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a somewhat immature face, actually wanted him to surrender.
And behind him, the armor-clad Rong Kou, and the hundreds of bandits on top of each other, are only ten steps! Zhao Wuxian could even smell the stench they exhaled.
At this moment, everyone was completely surrounded, and in the night, Zhao Wuxian raised his head and was speechless.
Come to think of it, the forces behind these robbers are probably Fan and Bank of China, if they fall into the hands of Fan Jia and Bank of China, the chance of their own survival seems to be small.
He saw a moon slowly rising from the hill, and under the moon halo, there were some small shadows like black ants, standing in a row.
Is it a tree shadow, or a human figure?
After Zhao Wuxian saw it clearly, he clenched his sword again, but showed a smile to Yu Rang.
"It's wrong, you can't escape it with wings, it's you! Second and third sons, reinforcements from Chengxiang have arrived, listen to my orders and continue to move forward! ”
Yu Rang was shocked when he heard this, but when he heard behind him, there were really bursts of shouting and killing!
He turned his head to look at it and secretly said no.
I saw twenty or thirty armor-clad warriors rushing down the gentle slope, and at the head of them was a tall man, wearing heavy armor, and every step was extremely heavy. He held a long sword (shu), and with a single blow, he could sweep away two or three thieves who were hiding behind to breathe, and he was blasting a bloody path towards this side.
While rushing, he also let out a loud roar: "Defend Mucha here!" Who dares to hurt my lord! ”
It is the two guards set up by Zhao Wuxian in Chengxiang! They followed Mucha, with shields in one hand and swords in the other, slamming them with their shields and then stabbing them with their men. Soon broke through the scattered stragglers placed behind Yu Rang and killed behind the human wall.
Behind the guards, there were a full number of Chengxiang soldiers, all dressed in light cloth, armed with recurved bows, and their arrows stuck upside down on the ground for easy access. Under the gaze of Zhao Wuxian, they were already lined up in two horizontal rows on the gentle slope of the higher ground, and at this time, they were rapidly firing their bows and throwing arrows down the mountain.
This time, attacking on the back, the fox baby and others who were only more than ten steps away from Zhao Wuxian and the others. Got a real taste of the rain of arrows. Twenty or thirty arrows were thrown to the highest point, and then fell in vain under the pull of gravity, and the huge impact force suddenly pinned the men who were walking forward with shields to the ground. The first volley killed and wounded nearly 10 people.
The fox baby was distressed to see. was hesitating whether to continue to let the elite Rong people of his cronies move forward or retreat, and the scream of breaking through the sky, which had been silent for a while, sounded again. This time, the direction of aiming changed to a group of thieves, who once again harvested more than a dozen lives, causing great chaos.
"The opponent's rate of fire is too fast, nothing can be done!"
The fox baby decisively gave the order to retreat, and the opponent's archers had already occupied the commanding heights, and the losses were too great to rush up. Moreover, these thieves were already frightened, and they could not drive them to death.
Anyway, the role I need to play tonight is just a foil. The plan of Fan and the Bank of China is nothing more than to put the charge of attacking the Zhao family on the heads of the group of thieves afterwards, why do they have to work so hard?
Besides, he dragged the elite of the townsfolk here, and on the other two roads, Fan and Bank of China disguised themselves as bandits. Wouldn't it be easy to get to the town?
With a thought, the fox baby let all his men retreat, out of range of their bows and arrows.
As for the dozens of robbers left on the mountain? Although he is also his own subordinate. But even if they are all dead, as long as there is money and corn provided by the Zhongxing clan, it will only take a disaster year, and a large number of savages will pour into the mountains and forests to survive, and they will naturally be able to replenish new ones. And the Yu Rang who didn't give him a good look, anyway, the road has already been brought, and it's better to die!
As a result, the situation was reversed in vain, and it was Yu Rang's turn to be flanked by the robbers.
In front of him were Zhao Wuxian's apprentices and single cavalry shocks. Behind is the Chengxiang armor who is as solid as a rock and steadily advancing. Soon, the wall of thieves was gone. Most of the robbers who were completely abandoned by the large army were killed. The rest threw their weapons and knelt down to surrender.
Zhao Wuxian, whose victory has been decided, asked the material to continue to maintain the state of half a bow and be wary of the group of thieves under the mountain. On the one hand, he sent people to leave only a few of the robbers who surrendered, and the rest were killed mercilessly!
After a while, only the edge of the cliff remained, and there were still people resisting.
Zhao Wuxian glanced down the mountain, hundreds of thieves had retreated to the middle of the slope, far away from here, and it was safe here for the time being. So he paced a few steps towards the side of the cliff, and saw the young man with a round bun and thick eyebrows and big eyes who had just been persuaded to surrender to him was alone on the edge of the cliff, holding a short sword, facing the guards.
In this desperate situation of certain death, his face did not show any panic.
"Gentleman, this kid is good, the cliff is unstable, the subordinate wanted to go over to arrest him, and he was almost dragged down!" Mucha had palpitations.
"Stab him down with a long soldier!" Yu Xi came up with an idea while bandaging Tian Ben's wound with a strip of cloth to stop the bleeding.
However, Zhao Wuxian had other plans.
Fang Cai, it was this young man who was directing and inciting the group of thieves, otherwise, with their quality and order, they would definitely not be able to stop Tian Ben and the others. Not to mention that he was hit desperately by Wang Sun's horse, and he was able to regather and block after losing his courage, which is also the work of this son.
He is about the same age as Xiao Tong Ao, but his ability is a few streets behind the latter, and he seems to have a superior status among the group of thieves, not an ordinary thief. If you can induce him to surrender and arrest him for careful interrogation, you may be able to ask for some information.
So Zhao Wuxian said to the young man: "Little boy, you just recruited me, and now, I will also surrender you, if you want to live, just come over by yourself." ”
But the boy grinned as if he had heard a joke.
"Fang Cai underestimated the Zhao gentleman, and now, the Zhao gentleman also underestimates me? I am not the kind of person who is greedy for life and surrenders, and once I am entrusted to the lord, I will not have the heart of betrayal. ”
"How rare it is to be so faithful at such a young age, your lord? Who is that, but is it worth your death for him? If you don't come down, you'll be dead! ”
Zhao Wuxian pointed to the cliff behind the young man, which was dozens of feet high, and said: "Here, it is impossible to escape with wings!" ”
Yu Rang didn't say anything, closed his eyes slightly, and felt the direction of the wind.
After a moment, he opened his shining eyes and laughed loudly: "Can't escape with wings? The gentleman is fallacious, don't you hear the poetry, you will soar, and you will fly! ”
After that, Yu let his body lean, and fell backwards in a daze, falling into the abyss!
In the face of the end of being shattered, he was not afraid, and opened his arms in the moonlight, as if he had really become a bird with wings spread and would soar! (To be continued)
