Chapter 52: The Storm Crossbow

Being betrayed by others is a matter of life and death, even if the "Jingzhou Thirteen Taibao" is a ruthless character on the underworld in Hubei, they have changed color at this moment.

Zai Yue sneered and said, "What else can I do, naturally it is a breakthrough!"

He is the military advisor of the "Yangtze River Water Village", the most intelligent person in the Thirteen Taibao, everyone doesn't know what to do at this moment, panicked, of course can only follow his arrangement.

"I just observed from the outside, the western enemy's Liliang is the weakest, the seventh, the ninth, and the twelveth brother, you three with thirty brothers, wait for me to send a code, and break through to the west!" Zai Yue said.

He glanced at Lao Shi, and said: "Tenth brother and eleventh brother, after the three of them fight the enemy, the other party's hands are pulled, and each of them will take twenty people to attack in the south and north directions, and they will definitely be able to find a chance to escape!"

"As for me and the thirteenth brother, I will stay in Zuihou to receive you and help you. ”

This arrangement sounds reasonable at first glance. As the second eldest, Zai Yue can be said to be benevolent and righteous to several righteous brothers, not only assigned all his men and horses to the brothers, but also stayed in Zuihou after the face was broken, it is simply to leave the hope of life to others, and bear the biggest danger by himself, which is extremely noble and great!

Since the second brother has made such an arrangement, he naturally has no objection to being the younger brother, even Gao Yi, the thirteenth brother who wants to leave the broken "Skinned Tiger" with Zai Yue, has no objection. Since the second brother is so righteous, how can he be greedy for life and afraid of death?

Without further ado. It didn't take long for the five brothers in the "Jingzhou Thirteen Taibao" to rush out of the "Juxian Building" with all the underworld people and break through in three directions!

At this time, in the building, only the three major leaders who were trapped were left, as well as Zai Yue and the thirteenth brother Gao Yi.

At this time, Zai Yue, the "sick head shark", did not wait and see the situation on the roof of the restaurant to prepare for support, and he didn't seem to care about whether the brothers could successfully break through.

He was in a rather spacious room at the back of the hallway, with seven or eight stoves and a dozen anvil tables cluttered with dishes, various foods, and condiments. This is the kitchen of the "Juxian Building", where the master usually cooks.

At this time, the kitchen was empty, and the master and the little man had already run out, and there were only two people, "Sick Shark" Zai Yue and "Skinned Tiger" Gao Yi.

"The other brothers all led people to break through, only you and I stayed in this 'Juxian Building', it is very likely that we will be surrounded and killed by the opponent's masters, thirteenth brother, do you have any complaints about such arrangements for your brother?" Zai Yue stared at Gao Yi's face and asked.

Gao Yi's face was calm, and he said: "Since the second brother is willing to take this risk, the younger brother will accompany the elder brother to die, and there will be no complaints!"

He paused for a moment, and then said: "The younger brother has always admired the second brother's resourcefulness very much, in the eyes of the younger brother, since the second brother stayed in the building, he naturally has your reason, and the younger brother will not suffer if he follows the elder brother." ”

Zai Yue hahadaxiao, said: "Sure enough, you are smarter, much stronger than those fools who are anxious to break through and escape!"

He lifted his foot and kicked it on a stove by the wall, and the stove and the iron pot on it were instantly kicked to the side, revealing a wooden board on the floor. Zai Yue bent down and pulled the plank up, revealing a dark hole underneath.

Zai Yue said: "This tunnel is about two hundred zhang long, and the exit is in a hidden place two streets east of the 'Juxian Building', which was dug by the Hubei Underworld Alliance when it was used as a stronghold, and it can be used as an escape route when the situation is critical. ”

"However, this time the 'Three Evils' came to besiege too many people, and even if we fled two streets away, we were likely to be discovered by them, so we had to let the other brothers rush out together to attract their attention in other directions, and we had some hope of escaping from the east through the tunnels. It's also a last resort to do this for my brother, and the thirteenth brother won't blame my brother for being ruthless and unjust, right?"

Gao Yi said: "Where did the second brother come from, the two of us lived and died together, the elder brother is very wise, how can the younger brother blame the second brother?"

Zai Yue nodded and said, "If you can say that, it will not be in vain for you and my brother." Okay, I'll open the way ahead, you just follow me!"

As soon as he was on his waist, his figure jumped out, and he disappeared at the entrance of the cave, Gao Yi did not dare to hesitate, and followed Zai Yue into the tunnel.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Wu Yinghao smiled, and he couldn't close his mouth with joy.

He felt that he had survived to this day in this life before he was truly lucky. He seemed to see the ingots the size of the sea bowl, the official hat with a gold top and silver edge, and countless beauties floating around in front of him, beckoning to him, and he only needed to stretch out his hand to hold them all in his arms!

At this time, Wu Yinghao was on the roof of a three-story tiled house two streets away on the east side of the "Juxian Building", and beside him stood more than a dozen soldiers in iron armor, as well as a handsome young man wearing a guard uniform, Ximen Hitomi.

This tiled house has a net height of more than five zhang and is the highest point of the whole street. Standing here, you can see everything on the streets nearby. Wu Jiang was always here, watching the five bandit leaders in the "Jingzhou Yangtze River Water Dock Thirteen Taibao" fall under the random arrows one by one.

Wu Yinghao did not dare to hope for the head of Zhu Zhenyan promised by Hua Bushi before, in fact, as long as he had these heads of Taibao, he was already very satisfied. These people are the key criminals arrested by the imperial court across provinces, and the government has offered a reward of 1,000 taels of silver for Jiangyang thieves!

With these five heads, it is enough for Wu Yinghao to be promoted and make a fortune, and there is no need to stay in this small Wuyang City to be the poor boss of this "two-sleeved breeze"!

Such opportunities come so quickly that they are as simple as a dream.

"Shoot, shoot, shoot them!" Wu Yinghao danced and shouted incessantly, and the soldiers around him almost thought that this general had lost his mind.

Compared with Wu Jiang's general elation, Ximen Hitomi, who was standing beside him, was in a much worse mood.

The battle was nowhere near as fierce as he had anticipated. At this time, Ximen Tong had already seen that it was not the other party's main force in this "Juxian Building". Except for those Taibao, Zhu Zhenyan and his masters are gone.

Where did they all go?

The day before yesterday, in the night battle at the Chinese family's house, Ximen Hitomi was very dissatisfied with his performance. The second senior brother Zhu Hong killed Cao Zheng and Jiang Zhuoyan, the fourth junior brother Li Hu killed the four tigers of the Gan family, and even the little junior sister Bai Yiling also killed the "lone wolf" Mo Biao.

Although it is rumored outside that the second child of the Chi family died at the hands of the third child, Ximen Hitomi knew very well that the battle almost killed the opponent with the strength of the senior brother Yu Qianli, and the role he played was really pitiful.

This made the proud Ximen Hitomi depressed for several days.

I thought that I finally encountered a big scene today, there were so many masters in the opponent's formation, how could I fight well and save the face lost by doing nothing the night before. Unexpectedly, except for some miscellaneous fish and shrimp, the Taibao in the "Juxian Building" rushed out stupidly, and fled in three directions with a swarm of bees, but before they could run a few hundred zhang, they were all shot into hedgehogs by the archers under Wu General.

And his dignified disciple of the "Evil Dog Gate" has not yet gotten a chance to make a move!

How did this make him happy?

But at this moment, Ximen Hitomi's pupils suddenly contracted. He saw two figures, coming out of a small wooden door on the corner of a street not far from the three-story tiled house, and running in the direction they were!

It's the other party's master! Just from the light skills of the two of them, Ximen Hitomi has already made a judgment.

If they can sneak here, they must have taken a secret passage!

Hua Bushi's encirclement of "Juxian Building" is a double-layer pocket. On the inner floor are the gangs of the "Three Evils", whose mission is to besiege the enemy. When the opponent forcibly breaks through, he can stop it, and if he can't stop it, let go of a way out and drive the enemy to the predetermined location, the middle area of the two layers of pockets.

On the outer layer of the pocket, there are 300 "frightening hands" in the "Baoyi Battalion" under the command of Wu Yinghao.

"Storm crossbow" in the Ming Dynasty army is not much, ordinary officers and soldiers, long-range crossbowmen are equipped with "enemy crossbows", only a handful of elite soldiers, only equipped with "storm crossbow". The "Enemy Crossbow" can be loaded with three crossbow arrows at a time, with a range of 50 zhang, and the rate of fire and penetration are twice as fast as ordinary bows and arrows.

The "Storm Crossbow" can be loaded with five rounds of crossbow arrows, has a range of 80 feet, and has twice the rate of fire and lethality of the "Crossbow to defeat the enemy"! This is a very terrifying weapon, and it is not at all comparable to an ordinary strong-bowed and hard-bowed crossbow. If you are shot by the "Shocking Crossbow" within eighty zhang, even the stainless steel armor will be pierced, even the talisman true qi of the top master will not play much role in the face of this kind of big killing weapon, and it will collapse if it can't hold out for a few blows.

Compared with the excellent performance, the "Storm Crossbow" is extremely difficult to make, and the cost is also amazingly expensive, which is by no means affordable for ordinary officers and soldiers. It was also because Zhao Chengyi, a second-rank senior member of the "Left Waiting Lang of the Military Department", was in charge of the soldiers, horses, and ordnance in various places in the court, that he equipped his private soldier "Baoyi Battalion" with 300 "frightening crossbows".

The group of underworld killers in the "Juxian Building" barely escaped the encirclement of the "Three Evils" gang, but they could not escape the salvo of crossbow arrows from the peripheral officers and soldiers, and the five brothers and sisters in the "Jingzhou Thirteen Taibao" were all assassinated by the "Shocking Crossbowmen" under Wu Yinghao.

At this time, Wu Yinghao also saw two figures running towards them.

"Quick, there's two there, shoot me!"

He pointed to the street and shouted.

Although Wu Yinghao didn't quite understand how these two guys could quietly escape the encirclement of the three inner factions and suddenly appear here, he could also see at a glance that these two people were the key criminals of the imperial court, the characters in the "Jingzhou Thirteen Taibao". That's his ingots and future, and he can't let it go no matter what!
