Chapter Seventy-Six: Wolf Smoke
"Enemy attack. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Seeing that group of warriors shouted, they reacted quickly and quickly chased after them.
The captain calmly ordered: "Load the short crossbow and shoot it once." The fifth and sixth reserve the attack to prevent the warriors with the transcendent realm from advancing forward. ā
Just now, Wu Chang and his six brothers touched the 300 meters of the crowd, hid in the grass, and when he saw someone running towards Abu's place, he quickly ordered an attack.
The short crossbows they brought with them were repeaters. It can be reloaded at a time, firing six crossbow arrows, with a range of 400 meters, and can penetrate a layer of iron armor. Therefore, although they were only seven people, they were able to shoot a rain of arrows, and in one attack, they shot down more than twenty enemies.
This repeater was not the standard configuration of scouts in the army, but a private item that he bought with his own money. The military allowed the commanders to pay for their own money and equip their subordinates with additional equipment, which was known as bootlegging. Bootlegged goods are the hallmark of the nobility and wealth.
Wu Chang is a noble child. Scouts are the most dangerous profession and the fastest-rising profession, known as the cradle of generals. He was a noble kid who came to be a dangerous scout, just for military merit and for quick promotion.
He even brought several stepping stones, which he could sacrifice at any time to achieve himself, and of course he was not short of money to buy private goods. So he is only thirty-eight years old, and he is already the scout captain of Jin Wuwei, and if he is put in the place, he is at least a lieutenant and a thousand commanders.
"Damn, chase." The cloaked man scolded angrily, this attack came so suddenly, more than a dozen people were shot down in one attack, and he could see at a glance that the short crossbow was smeared with poison, and these people were all saved. I was touched so closely, but I didn't notice it. The cloaked man couldn't help but fear for a while, if his opponent only targeted him, he would surely die.
"Shoot." As soon as he changed his mind, a loud shout came from 300 meters, and a second wave of arrows came in response. Once again, more than a dozen people were brought down.
The cloaked man was furious: "Chase, scatter and chase, there are not many people on the other side." He kicked the ground and immediately rushed forward, he was a high-level great martial artist, the leader of this group of martial artists, and the guide of the Holy Sect. At a distance of only two hundred meters, he could reach it in less than three breaths, and he had already spotted that his opponent was only seven people.
"I'm going to chop you into meat sauce." The cloaked man stared coldly.
"Evacuate, go into the mountains and forests, and proceed as planned." Seeing hundreds of warriors scattered and rushing towards him, Wu Chang hurriedly gave an order, turned around and ran.
They had already made a plan, shot two waves of arrows, and then retreated into the mountains and forests in two groups, alternately covering their escape. They're here to stall, not to fight.
"I want to leave when I come." The cloaked man was furious when he saw this group of warriors in leather armor turn around and run, and with a reprimand, he immediately quickened his pace and plunged into the woods after his opponent.
"Dangerous." As soon as he entered the woods, the cloaked man's heart suddenly trembled, and he rolled to the ground without thinking about it.
"Snort." The wide cloak was cut with a sharp weapon. Out of the corner of the cloaked man's eye, it was more than a dozen short crossbows, which were shooting close to his back. If you were a step slower just now, you would have pierced your heart with random arrows and died on the spot.
"Stop, exit the forest." The cloaked man stood up and let out a shout. After such a delay, he had already seen his opponent run hundreds of meters, shooting arrows as he ran. Just a few breaths into the mountains and forests, more than a dozen people died.
He sees his opponent's movements, his speed. already knows that this is a group of masters, although there are many of them, they are all rabble. If you chase it like this, the loss is not calculated. If you don't know it, you'll have to get into it.
Under the orders of the cloaked man, many warriors withdrew from the mountains and forests and returned to their original places. They retreated much faster than they could pursue. No one is a fool, no, the fools who rushed to the front are dead.
"Pack up your things, and leave the dead alone. Get out of here now. The cloaked man pondered as he commanded the order: "Who are these people, and why are they attacking us?" Ranger? No, it won't be the rangers, they don't have such an organization, team. These people are kind of like an army, but now, there is no one in charge of the two counties, where is the army? ā
"Let's go." He couldn't figure it out, and when he saw that everyone was ready, he immediately issued an order: "When you arrive in Anyang Town, you won't be afraid, where there are high-level people of the Holy Sect, they don't dare to chase them." Come on. ā
The group left quickly, but within three miles, a rain of arrows came from the front and put several people down.
"Defense, with horses as shields." Cloaked people have great hatred in their hearts, Dingzhou is also full of mountains and rivers, and Anyang Town is in the mountains, with a secret position, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it was selected as a stronghold by the Holy Sect.
They were now heading to Anyang Town, but the roads were lined with mountains and forests and low hills, giving this group of killers who suddenly appeared good protection. I can't hit it, and I can't run it. It's just a matter of defending in place.
Immediately a group of warriors stopped their steps, gathered together, and formed a wall of shields with horses, and some of the wise ones also took down the sacks of gold and silver from their horses, and used them as shields.
"Stop, count the arrows." Seeing this group of warriors moving like this, Wu Chang also stopped, just delay the time, he calculated in his heart that with the foot strength of the earth dragon horse, at most, His Highness would arrive.
"Not much, there are twenty-four arrows, which can be shot four times." A sergeant reported.
"Twenty-six."
"Eighteen arrows."
Wu Chang nodded and said, "If they don't move, we won't move, if they run, we will fight." When they pursue, we retreat and hold them back. ā
After waiting for a while, seeing that there was no attack from the rain of arrows, the cloaked man pondered for a moment and said, "Go and see a few people." ā
The three warriors were hit by him, although they were reluctant, they didn't dare to disobey, gathered together, and cautiously walked into the mountains and forests.
A hundred meters, two hundred meters, four hundred meters, nothing happened. A warrior said, "They're gone, let's hurry back." Seeing that they had returned safely, the cloaked man said, "Let's go." ā
Many warriors hurriedly set off, but they also gathered together, did not disperse, and walked out more than a thousand meters cautiously, and nothing was sent.
"They're really gone." Walking on the periphery of the team, facing a warrior in the mountains and forests, holding a large sword in one hand and a cloth bag full of gold and silver in the other. Seeing that nothing had happened, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and relax my body. It was a chain reaction, and the team that had gathered together quickly loosened up and there were flaws.
"If they come again, I will kill them." The warrior with the big sword muttered to his companion beside him. The companion nodded, and was about to speak, when a short crossbow shot through his head, blood splattering the sword-wielding warrior's face.
"Damn it, defense." Without the command of the cloak man, many warriors hurriedly gathered together. This defense, the rain of arrows stopped.
The cloaked man hid in the middle of the group, bowing his head and pondering the purpose of these people, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he shouted: "Run, they are delaying time, running in the direction of Anyang Town." ā
The rain of arrows in the mountains and forests came down in response to the sound, and wanted to block the way, but the cloaked man was even more sure, and under his command, many warriors ran with their heads covered, regardless of the obstacles of the rain of arrows.
"Captain Wu, what should I do?" A scout shot all the crossbow arrows in his hand, and he killed at least ten people with arrows alone, but now that there are no arrows, watching this group of warriors go all the way away, he has no choice, rush up to stop it? Although he was confident, he didn't dare to block a hundred, which was almost in vain.
"It's still more than 20 miles away from Anyang Town, and they can't run. Put a signal and follow them. Wu Chang didn't care, but was full of joy, he knew that this group of people couldn't escape.
"No." Hearing the captain's command, one of the scouts took out two items from his bosom, one black and as if it were a clod of dirt, and placed it on the ground. One is flint and steel.
He lit the black mud with a flint, and a black smoke rose rapidly, and the smoke rose straight up, and was not blown away by the mountain wind, like a pillar of air hooking the sky, which could be seen from dozens of miles away.
As soon as the cloaked man turned around, he saw this black pillar of air, and couldn't help but scream: "This is wolf smoke, and it is the signal of the army scouts to guide the army." ā
His face was dark, he didn't say a word, and he didn't care about these warriors anymore. Running wildly, he ran towards the direction of Anyang Town: "The Yu Dynasty army is coming, I want to return to the town as soon as possible and let the Holy Sect prepare." ā
Running all the way, more than ten miles have passed in a blink of an eye, and Anyang Town is already in sight. The line of 300 people has been stretched for a long time, and the fast ones are running in front, and the low ones are running behind. The cloaked man took the lead, two miles beyond the line.
"Knock knock knock." At this moment, there was a continuous dense and loud sound like thunder behind him. As soon as the cloaked man turned around, he saw a black line rushing towards him like a tsunami.
The cloaked man gasped, knowing in his heart that these people behind him were afraid that they would not survive a few.
