Chapter 104 Ferocious
When Li Po drew his knife and ran backwards, almost instinctively, the nearby sergeants all drew their knives and ran backwards in a swarm.
The line was too long, and there was already chaos here, but the people in front hadn't reacted much.
After running a short distance, he ran into the people sent back by Li Wu head-on, and he didn't need to make a sound, he was directly wrapped in the team and rushed back.
With a whoosh, an arrow swept over Li Po's head, and a scream sounded behind him unexpectedly, and I don't know which unlucky ghost was shot, the road was too narrow, and he didn't wear armor, and the bow and arrow were a nightmare for foot soldiers in such an environment.
At the narrow road entrance not far away, Li Wu led four people, and they had already rushed into the crowd.
Li Po's eyes only swept away, and his heart was already cold.
The narrow passage is full of people, and I don't know when or where it came from.
And two thick tree trunks, not far away, some sharpened wooden stakes, thrown aside.
You can also faintly see some pack horses, carrying large rocks.
If these things were blocked at the narrow road entrance, Li Po didn't dare to imagine how many lives he would have to pay to rush out of here.
Careless, careless.
But it's no wonder that any of them are not because they are too negligent, but this is the Sui Realm, and the possibility of a large-scale attack on the Sui army of more than 1,000 people is very small.
In addition, they are not here to fight, but to escort war horses to Hebei, so their vigilance will naturally not be too high.
Fortunately, most of the team were cavalry, with only 200 foot soldiers, plus escorted war horses and pack horses, so after entering the Batu Caves, the team pulled extraordinarily long.
As a result, the front was blocked, and the back had just entered the Batu Cave and could react in time.
Unfortunately, it is precisely because of this drag that the other party can calmly arrange and block them in the Batu Cave.
Fortunately and unfortunate, in fact, there is no need to repeat it, when it comes to fighting, it is always the result that you see.
And at this moment, Li Po and the subordinates who followed him would not think too much.
Li Wu was brave and bought them precious time, and did not let the thieves completely block the narrow crossing.
The crossing is not wide, and it is definitely not that narrow.
Without the rejection of horses, large trees, and rocks, the crossing is not very dangerous.
Li Po took out the speed of running 100 meters, took the lead, and rushed ahead.
What made his pupils shrink was that several mountain bandits wearing tattered leather robes and full of mountain and forest atmosphere were squatting at the entrance of the narrow road, holding something like a box......
Nima, crossbow arrows.
At such a moment of life and death, the courage and courage of a soldier have been perfectly interpreted in Li Po.
I didn't hide at all, and rushed straight up.
At this time, even the slightest dodge will make his body lose balance, and as long as he falls, he will be trampled under the feet of the people behind him, not only blocking his own path, but also probably never being able to stand up again.
Li Po's eyes widened, and the muscles on his face became hideous.
The bowstring of the crossbow vibrated and the bolts fluttered.
Three crossbow arrows, one grazed the side of Li Po's neck, and one grazed his thigh, tearing Li Po's pants and leaving a scrape on Li Po's leg.
One actually passed under Li Po's armpit, and the slightest difference made Li Po and the Grim Reaper pass by.
The accuracy was insufficient, but Li Po had goosebumps all over his body at this moment.
The mountain bandits had already surrounded Li Wu, and more people poured up, many of them were holding bows and arrows in their hands, looking at the Sui soldiers who rushed out of the narrow road, the mountain bandits hurriedly began to draw their bows and arrows, and the hoarse roar echoed in the valley.
This is a life-and-death race, Li Po used his courage and physical fitness honed over the years, as well as unparalleled luck, to win life for himself.
Arrows whizzed past him, maybe because of panic, maybe because the mountain bandits' bows were not very good, but none of them greeted Li Po.
The cold hairs on Li Po's back stood up, roared angrily, accelerated violently, and crashed headlong into the crowd.
It can be said that this is the first time that Li Po has confronted people head-on since he came to this world, but the chaos is similar to a pot of porridge.
This kind of battle is the last thing Li Po wants to see or encounter, because there are too many accidents, and no one can completely control their own destiny in such chaos.
Of course, maybe those guys who take the head of the general in the army can do it, but Li Po thinks that he is like this, forget it.
However, there is a huge gap between the sum of imagination and the reality.
When Li Po knocked over a bunch of people and jumped up from the ground, every cell in his body seemed to be active.
With a swipe of the knife in his hand, he cut a person's throat.
As soon as the thigh was raised, the kicking man rolled out, and the long knife slashed down, slashing into the face of a guy who seemed to be scared and stupid, and directly gouged his head open.
He swung the knife horizontally and slashed out, opened the person's head, and slashed the wooden bow of another person in front of him, and took a step forward violently, avoiding the short knife that pierced his neck next to him, and the knife in his hand stabbed directly into the waist and abdomen of a person, and the other party screamed miserably and covered the wound.
It was too late to stir it, Li Po immediately drew his knife and kicked the other party out, cutting off the other party's fingers by the way.
In just a moment, Li Po had already killed several people in a row, and his body and face had become bloodstained.
Joining the army was so fierce and strong, which greatly stimulated the morale of the Sui soldiers under him, and let their beastly nature be released to the greatest extent.
The courage of the generals exists as the truth in the army of these years.
The bandits' last chance to seal the narrow passage with bows and arrows and crossbow boxes was lost.
And when more than a dozen Sui soldiers roared and rushed out of the narrow road, raising their long knives at the same time, a series of screams rang out almost at the same time, and the bandits fell to the ground one after another.
More and more Sui soldiers poured out, and the hasty encounter soon turned into a one-sided massacre.
Nowadays, there are no bandits who can confront the Sui army on a large scale, although in the next few years, this situation will change somewhat.
However, it is undeniable that in the troubled times, the backbone of the rebel army has always been those officers and soldiers who have received military training and have joined the rebellion one after another.
The bandits retreated one after another, wanting to gather and resist, but they had no chance to do so.
Immediately, it evolved into a rout and a pursuit.
One or two hundred bandits, who were killed, fled.
At this time, Li Po gradually retreated, wiped a handful of blood from his face, and roared with red eyes.
"Hold the crossing, guard the crossing."
Then he shouted, more and more people gathered around him, and under Li Polian's kicking, he finally opened a military formation at the narrow road entrance.
His caution was once again justified...... Li Po's first battle, although it was a mess, undoubtedly proved his military talent and his unmatched luck.
