Jiumu Continent Chapter Seventy-Six: Wolf Smoke Soil
"Enemy attack." Seeing that group of warriors shouted loudly, they reacted quickly and quickly chased after them. The Captain, who was loading the arrows, calmly ordered, "Shoot once." The fifth and sixth reserve the attack to prevent the warriors with the transcendent realm from advancing forward. ”
Just now, Wu Chang and his six brothers touched a bush 300 meters away from the crowd, and when he saw someone running towards Abu's place, he quickly ordered an attack. The short crossbow they carry with them is a repeater, which can be loaded and fired six crossbow arrows at a time, and can penetrate two layers of iron armor at a distance of 400 meters. Therefore, although they were only seven people, they could shoot a rain of arrows, and they could take down more than 20 warriors in a single attack.
This short repeater was not the standard configuration of the scouts in the army, but a private item that he bought with his own money. The military allowed the commanders to pay for additional equipment for their subordinates, which were collectively referred to as bootleggies, which were the hallmarks of nobility and wealth.
The captain is the son of the nobles, and although the scout is the most dangerous profession, it is also the fastest promoted profession, and is 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 was only thirty-eight years old and was already the scout captain of Jin Wuwei, and if he was put in the place, he would at least be a lieutenant and a thousand commanders.
"Damn, chase." The cloaked man shouted angrily, the attack came so suddenly, and more than twenty people were shot down in a single attack. He could see at a glance that the short crossbow was smeared with poison, and those who were shot were not saved. The cloaked man couldn't help but be afraid for a while, being touched at such a close distance and not finding out, if the opponent only targeted himself, he would also die.
"Shoot." As soon as he changed his mind, there was another shout from 300 meters, and he saw the second wave of arrow rain coming, and once again put down more than a dozen people. The cloaked man was furious: "Chase, scatter and chase, there are not many people on the other side." ”
He 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. The cloaked man looked coldly: "I'm going to chop you into meat sauce." ”
"Evacuate, go into the mountains and forests, and proceed as planned." Seeing hundreds of warriors scattered and rushing towards him, Wu Chang quickly issued an order, turned around and ran. They had already made a plan, and after shooting two waves of arrows, they retreated into two groups and retreated into the mountains and forests, 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." Hearing this soft sound, the cloaked man knew that his cloak had been torn, because he saw more than a dozen short crossbows shooting close to his back: "It's so dangerous, if you had been a step slower just now, you would have pierced your heart with arrows and died on the spot."
The cloaked man quickly stood up, but found that as soon as he delayed, the opponent had already run out hundreds of meters, and they shot arrows while running, and they went into the mountains and forests for a few breaths, and more than a dozen people died on their side. The cloaked man saw the opponent's movements, speed, and coordination, and knew that this was a group of masters. And although there are many people on their side, they are all rabble. If you chase it like this, you won't have to say anything, and you have to get into it if you don't make it. He immediately shouted, "Stop, get out of the forest." ”
Under the orders of the cloaked man, many warriors retreated from the forest, and they retreated much faster than they pursued. No one is a fool, no, the fools who rushed to the front are dead.
"Pack up your things, leave the dead alone, and we'll get out of here at once." Returning to his place, 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 a bit like the army, but now there is no one in charge of the two counties, where is the army? ”
"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 are the high-level leaders of the Holy Sect, they don't dare to chase them, go quickly." The group left quickly, but within three miles, a rain of arrows fell from the sky and put down several people again.
"Defense, with horses as shields." The cloaked people have a lot of hatred in their hearts, Dingzhou is also full of mountains and rivers, and Anyang Town is in the mountains, with a secret status, 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. If you can't hit it, you can't run, so you can only defend in place.
The group of warriors immediately stopped their steps, gathered together, and formed a shield wall with horses, and some wise even took down the cloth bags containing gold and silver from their horses as shields.
"Stop, count the arrows." Seeing this group of warriors moving like this, Wu Chang also stopped. He thought in his heart: With the strength of the feet of the Dilongma, His Highness will arrive in a quarter of an hour at most, and we will just delay the time.
One of the scouts reported, "Not much, there are still twenty-four arrows, which can be shot four times." ”
"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. ”
The cloaked man waited for a while, and did not see the attack of the rain of arrows again, he pondered for a moment, and said, "Go and see a few people." ”
The three warriors were hit by him, although they were reluctant but they did not dare to disobey, they gathered together and walked into the mountains and forests cautiously. A hundred meters, two hundred meters, four hundred meters, nothing happened. A warrior hurriedly said, "They are gone, let's hurry back." ”
As the three of them returned safely, the cloaked man said, "Let's go." ”
Many warriors hurriedly set off, but they still gathered together and did not disperse. A group of people cautiously walked out more than a thousand meters, and nothing was sent.
"They're really gone." A warrior holds a large sword in one hand and a cloth bag full of gold and silver in the other. Seeing that nothing had happened, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and relaxed his 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 broadsword 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 cloaked man, many warriors hurriedly gathered together. This defense, the rain of arrows immediately 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." ”
The rain of arrows in the mountains and forests came down in response to the sound and wanted to block the way, which made the cloaked man even more certain, and under his command, many warriors ran with their heads covered, no longer caring about the obstacles of the rain of arrows.
"Captain Wu, what should I do?" One of the scouts ran out of crossbow arrows and immediately asked the captain. In this battle, he killed at least ten people with arrows alone, but now that there were no arrows, he had no choice but to watch this group of warriors go all the way away. Although he is confident, he doesn't dare to block a hundred with one, that is to die.
Wu Chang didn't care, but was full of joy, he knew that this group of people couldn't run away: "It's still more than twenty miles away from Anyang Town, and they can't run." Put a signal and follow them. ”
"No." Hearing the captain's command, the scout immediately took out two items from his bosom, one was a black and mud-like item, and the other was a flint and steel. I saw that he used a flint and steel to ignite the black mud, and a black smoke quickly rose up. The smoke rose straight up, not blown away by the mountain wind, but like a pillar of air hooking the sky, it could be seen from dozens of miles away.
The cloaked man turned around by chance, and suddenly saw this black pillar of air, and he let out a scream: "This is wolf smoke, and it is the signal of the army scouts to guide the army." ”
Immediately, his face turned dark, and he didn't care about these warriors anymore, he just ran towards the direction of Anyang Town without saying a word: "The Yu Dynasty army is coming, I want to return to the town as soon as possible and let the Holy Sect prepare." ”
This way is running wildly, more than ten miles have passed in a blink of an eye, and Anyang Town is already in sight. The ranks of the warriors have been stretched for a long time, and the fast ones run in front, and the low realm runs behind. The cloaked man was one person in the lead, three miles beyond the group.
"Knock knock knock." At this moment, there was a continuous dense thunderous noise 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 that there weren't many people behind him left.
