Murong Danyan followed Li Qiufeng and Zhu Sanjia forward, while constantly looking at the snakes on both sides. Driven by the piccolos of the beggar gang, the snakes still kept swimming, and under the light of the torches, the scales of the snakes shone with a strange light, like a black river, constantly tumbling and surging.

At this time, Li Qiufeng and the others had already withdrawn from the encirclement of the officers and soldiers, and were blocked by the snakes, but the officers and soldiers did not dare to chase after them, so they had to watch everyone leave. Deng Yao laughed and said to Li Qiufeng: "See, these boys are staring at each other, and there is no way to take us......"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in the northeast, and then five or six horsemen rushed forward, and one of them wore armor first, but it was a military attaché. This person rushed to the front, held the command flag high in his right hand, and shouted: "Tell you General Hu to come out and speak!"

Li Qiufeng's heart sank, knowing that things had changed, and he was about to speak, but he heard Zhu Sanjia say anxiously: "It seems that the officers and soldiers are going to make a move, let's retreat quickly!"

Li Qiufeng nodded and said to Deng Yao: "Gang Master Deng, let's go quickly, we can't delay any longer!"

Deng Yao saw that Li Qiufeng and Zhu Sanjia looked anxious, but he also knew that the situation was not good, so he immediately ordered the beggars to leave quickly. After the few beggars playing the piccolo listened to Deng Yao's order, the sound of the flute suddenly turned to a hurry, and they saw the snakes tumbling and rolling, and the two teams of "snake rivers" instantly merged, separating everyone from the officers and soldiers.

The people turned and ran. At this moment, only the sound of feather arrows breaking through the air behind them was heard, everyone was shocked, and hurriedly turned around, only heard a strange sound at first, and in the blink of an eye, countless feather arrows appeared in the black night sky, and fell directly on the top of everyone's heads.

The people hurriedly drew their weapons and struck a rain of arrows that were shooting from the sky. It's just that these thousands of feather arrows fell together, and the distance between the two sides was close, and immediately five or six beggars fell to the ground with arrows.

Murong Danyan saw that a beggar disciple not far away had been hit by several arrows in the shoulder, and fell to the ground screaming, but he did not lose his life, and struggled to crawl backwards on the ground. She swung her sword and struck the feathered arrows flying above her head and in front of her, and ran towards the beggar disciple, trying to save him. Unexpectedly, another rain of arrows hit, and the beggar disciple was seriously injured, and the wooden stick in his hand was thrown aside, where could he still cover the feather arrows? In an instant, dozens of feather arrows were hit in the face and body, and they were shot like hedgehogs, and they were killed instantly.

Seeing this tragic situation, Murong Danyan's face turned pale with fright, and his hand was a little slow, and when he landed, two feather arrows passed through the circle of light of the long sword in her hand and shot straight towards her chest. In the midst of the crisis, she fell backwards, and two feather arrows flew past her face with a "whoosh".

Li Qiufeng swung his sword to block the feather arrows and retreated. I could only hear the screams in my ears, and more than ten beggar disciples died under the feather arrows of the officers and soldiers. The beggars who drove the snakes with piccolos had already been shot down by the officers and soldiers, and the snakes were undriven, and they were in chaos. Some swam around, some lingered, and some even tore at each other.

Deng Yao saw that the beggar gang disciples kept falling, and he was furious in his heart, waving the dog-beating stick in his hand, and wanted to kill back to avenge the beggar gang disciples. Li Qiufeng shouted loudly: "Gang Leader Deng, don't be rash! Let's run away quickly......"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw a platoon of officers and soldiers raise their torches in their hands and throw them at the chaotic group of snakes. The snake was originally afraid of fire, but at this time, it lost the drive of the flute of the beggar gang disciples, and scattered and fled. The second platoon of officers and soldiers rushed up again, throwing their torches into the group of snakes. After several successions, the snakes had been forced back five or six feet away.

Deng Yao saw that the snake formation had been broken, and knew that he could not intercept the officers and soldiers, so he had to turn around and run with Li Qiufeng. Most of the more than 20 beggars under his command were shot dead by officers and soldiers, but the remaining five or six beggar disciples were all wounded by arrows. Li Qiufeng ran last, and as he ran, he used the embroidered spring knife in his hand to knock the flying feather arrows away.

At this life-and-death juncture, everyone performed light skills and rushed forward desperately. Although the officers and soldiers behind him took advantage of the lack of command of the snakes and forced the snakes back with torches, they could not catch up for a while. After a while, the distance between the two sides had widened to forty or fifty zhang away, and although the officers and men were still shooting arrows, but the feather arrows were shot closer, they were already weak and weak, and even if they fell on their bodies, they could not hurt anyone. Li Qiufeng calculated in his heart, it seemed that the officers and soldiers would not be able to catch up for a while, as long as everyone retreated into the valley, there was no need to be afraid of the officers and soldiers.

At this moment, I could only hear the earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves behind me. Zhu Sanjia's face changed greatly, and he said in a trembling voice: "It's not good, the horse army of the officers and soldiers has caught up!"

Li Qiufeng raised his eyes, but saw that the officers and soldiers were separated to the left and right, and dozens of cavalry officers and soldiers could be seen rushing up from a distance. Li Qiufeng said to Deng Yao: "Gang Master Deng, you take the brothers of your gang to retreat!"

Deng Yao shook his head: "You guys retreat first, let our beggars break off!"

Li Qiufeng hurriedly said: "The remaining brothers of your gang are injured, you still take them first!"

After he finished speaking, he said to Murong Danyan and Zhu Sanjia: "You go first with Gang Master Deng......

Before his words fell, Murong Danyan said stubbornly: "I'm not leaving!"

Li Qiufeng was furious and yelled at Murong Danyan: "You must go!"

At this time, dozens of cavalry officers and soldiers in front had already rushed into the group of snakes, and under the trampling of iron hooves, the flesh and blood of the poisonous snakes on the ground flew sideways, and the momentum was extremely amazing. After these dozens of cavalry troops, there was a faint loud noise, and a large group of cavalry rushed over.

Seeing that the cavalry of the official army was so powerful, the expressions on everyone's faces changed greatly.

Li Qiufeng said to everyone: "This is not the time to push, if you delay any longer, everyone will have to die here!"

Deng Yao carried the dog gang in his right hand, and said in a deep voice: "For hundreds of years, my beggar gang disciples have resisted the golden dog first, and then rejected the tartars, and countless ancestors are not afraid of swords and guns. If I take my brother to go first today, the beggar gang will really become a shameless villain, and what face will stand between heaven and earth?!"

After he finished speaking, he raised the dog beating stick in his hand and shouted: "The disciples of the beggar gang obey the order, today we will fight to the death with these dog thieves, and we will not lose the reputation of our beggar gang for hundreds of years!"

When the words fell, I saw Deng Yao's body vertical, and he went straight to the horse team that rushed over. When the five or six beggar gang disciples saw the gang leader rushing out, they suddenly had pride in their chests, and they also rushed forward with Deng Yao.

After Deng Yao rushed out five or six steps, his feet did not stop, his head turned around, and shouted to Li Qiufeng and the other three: "You go first, don't worry about us!"

Seeing that the beggars were generously dying, where was he willing to escape alone, Li Qiufeng turned his head and said to Murong Danyan: "You and Brother Zhu go first, and I will help Gang Master Deng!"

Before he could finish speaking, he rushed forward. At this time, the officers and soldiers had approached Deng Yao. The cavalry on the horse waved a broadsword and slashed straight at Deng Yao. I only heard Deng Yao's roar, his body was pulled up, and the dog gang in his hand struck down in the air, smashing on the heavenly spirit cover of an officer and soldier. The officer and soldier screamed and his body fell from his horse to the ground. Trampled by the horses behind him, he instantly lost his human form.

Deng Yao killed a cavalryman, his body fell from the air, and he could only hear the sound of horses' hooves like thunder, and five or six horsemen came in front of him again. Deng Yao's body spun sharply, jumped up again, and with a move of beating the dog stick in his hand, he slashed straight at the officers and soldiers on the five or six horses. One officer and soldier were knocked off his horse by him, but the remaining officers and soldiers brandished their broadswords and went straight to meet him with a dog-beating stick. These cavalrymen are superb in horsemanship, and with the impact of their crotch mounts, although they do not have advanced martial arts, the strength of the broadsword when wielding it is amazing. The dog-beating stick in Deng Yao's hand collided with the big knife in the hand of an officer and soldier, and he only felt a pain in the tiger's mouth, and he couldn't hold the dog-beating stick when he boarded, and flew out with a "whew". The big knife in the officer's hand was also taken off by Deng Yaozhen, and the blade turned around, and it happened to cut horizontally on the neck of the officer and soldier, and the head of the officer and soldier was cut off at the time. I saw that the head of the man flew out, but the body of the officer and soldier was riding on his horse, and still rushed forward with his mount, which was really strange.

The dog-beating stick in Deng Yao's hand flew out of his hand, and his body was hit by the cavalry, and he staggered backwards and retreated three or four steps. At this moment, several more horsemen rushed in front of him, and the broadsword in their hands flashed coldly, and slashed straight at the top of his head.

At this time, the two beggar disciples rushed behind Deng Yao, and when they saw that the gang leader had lost his weapon and was in danger, they hurriedly rushed forward and used the sticks in their hands to cover the big knives cut down by the officers and soldiers. It's just that the impact of these cavalry was very violent, and as soon as the sticks in the hands of the two beggar disciples were raised, they were knocked down by the galloping military horses, and the iron hooves stepped on their bodies, and they died tragically on the spot.

Deng Yao's body flashed and passed between the two cavalrymen. Seeing the death of the two beggar disciples, his heart ached, and the tiger roared, and a punch was struck, hitting the belly of a military horse that swept past him. The horse let out a long "neighing" and tilted its head, colliding with the head of a horse next to it. The momentum of the two horses galloped very quickly, and when they collided, their skulls shattered and fell to the ground one after another. The two horsemen on the horse fell over with their mounts, and were trampled by the other horses in an instant, and they were killed with only two screams.

In the blink of an eye, the five or six disciples of the beggar gang who rushed towards the officers and soldiers with Deng Yao had all died under the iron hooves of the officers and soldiers. Only Deng Yao was left, flickering and moving among dozens of horses. Although his martial arts are high, just in front of the fierce rushing horse team, he is like a small boat in the rough sea, and the situation is extremely urgent.

At this time, Li Qiufeng had also arrived, and seeing the officers and soldiers of the five or six cavalry rushing to the front, he flicked his left hand, and more than ten copper coins shot out, and the officers and soldiers of the five or six cavalry screamed and fell off their horses one after another. When one of the officers and men fell, his left foot was put in the middle of the horse's pedal, and he was dragged forward by his mount, and he was so frightened that he opened his mouth to shout for help, but unexpectedly, the hind foot of the mount rose and fell, and he kicked the officer and soldier in the face, and kicked a big hole in his face. The cries for help of the officers and soldiers suddenly stopped, and the corpse dragged behind the mount, rolling and rushing forward.
