Volume 1 The Wind Rises Chapter 42 Autumn (I)

The so-called: a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall

Even if Cao Cheng is not a gentleman, he naturally understands this truth.

He kept making his eyes and signaled that Xu Lai should leave this place with him first, because he knew how ruthless this leader of the Chenghua Gang was, and how ruthless he was to be the leader of the Mighty Dart Bureau.

If he and Xu Lai want to leave, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for Hong Shichang to stop these two!

However, there will be a very bad result, that is, the death of Zhou Wenbin and others will be planted on the two of them, Cao Cheng couldn't help but look at Jia Daya who was still lying on the carriage and was drenched in the rain!

Just when these people were in a dilemma, Hong Shichang's side took the lead!

A dazzling lightning flashed in the night sky, illuminating everyone's faces, and those well-trained crossbowmen who had long been leaning on the head of the Ya Wall in Huangcheng County seized the opportunity to shoot the crossbow arrows that were ready to shoot out together with this lightning that seemed to pierce the sky!

This kind of crossbow and crossbow specially made by the Jingguo Military Weapons Supervisor is very suitable for melee killing, and is mostly equipped with the most brave and warlike light cavalry in the Jingguo army.

Because the crossbow is very small and easy to carry, many times the enemy army fighting with Jingguo is pierced by the sudden crossbow arrow before they get close!

It is precisely because of the ease of carrying that the people strictly prohibit private ownership, but Zhou Wenbin's attendants also recognized the dozen or so crossbow arrows just now, which are the standard ordnance in the army, but I don't know where Hong Shichang got it from.

Between the lightning and flint, the crossbow arrow with rapid momentum was about to shoot at a few people leaning against the wall, and Xu Lai drew his sword!

Xu Lai, who was dressed in a cloak and wore a hat on his head, didn't look so thin at this time, his bright eyes under the hat that slowly fell into the rain, staring at the crossbow arrow that was about to fly to his face.

He used a speed that didn't seem fast to outsiders, unhurriedly pulled Qingfeng out of his sheath, and then used Qingfeng to pick off the most threatening crossbow arrows that he had observed for a long time.

Cao Cheng and Zhou Wenbin's guards were not as relaxed as Xu Lai looked, Xu Lai's pick looked relaxed, but in fact it was not.

The two of them used their weapons to block a total of five crossbow arrows, and they both felt that their two arms were sore, but Xu Lai stood in place without even moving.

When Hong Shichang saw Xu Lai's state, he couldn't help but nod frequently, he was naturally very satisfied with his martial arts as a nephew.

Although the melee damage of this crossbow is extremely terrifying, it is very slow to reload crossbow arrows, so this is why it has not been popularized in the army.

Therefore, after the first round of crossbow arrows in the army, a light horse with a spear will come over, and continue to kill the enemy with the momentum of the previous rapidity.

And tonight, the mighty dart bureau replaced Jing Guoqing's light riding was the dozen or so dart masters who had almost come to the front of the four people under the wall.

The weapons in the hands of these dozen or so dart masters are also the standard sabers in the army, and most of these sabers are used by the infantry and cavalry in a head-to-head confrontation, or cut the cavalry formation from the side.

Xu Lai knew that these people were not his opponents, but there were three oil bottles behind him, Xu Lai knew that if these people died, then Xi Yuanxiu might really have to live in prison for the rest of his life!

"Ah", with an angry roar, the few dart masters who walked in the front raised the broken horse sabers in their hands with both hands at the same time, and slashed towards Xu Lai, with the momentum of the crossbow arrows just now, they really looked like those battle-hardened soldiers in the Jingguo army.

The three-foot Qingfeng in Xu Lai's hand, with the blessing of his internal force and the drive of his wrist, actually cut the rain that fell like silver beads in half, and then the tip of the sword moved, directly on the wrists of those people, and suddenly, several blood lines collapsed in the air.

However, those people did not stop, and endured the sharp pain of their wrists being picked and broken, and continued to chop, because the twenty or thirty people who came here tonight already knew that they might not be able to go back, so it was better to fight for half a life.

Xu Lai was also a little sluggish for a moment because of these people's reactions, and then used his sword directly across his head to take down all the knives of these people.

He didn't have a chance to kill all of them in one blow just now, but he couldn't retreat, so he could only take it forcibly, if he just took half a step, then these knives would be firmly cut at the bodies of the three people behind.

The so-called top of the rivers and lakes, once there are concerns, it is impossible to be ten thousand enemies, and besides, no one in this world can be ten thousand enemies.

The customer slaughtered 700 people in one night, also because those soldiers did not put up a military formation, and the customers took advantage of the night to break those people one by one.

Otherwise, a well-trained team of 700 people, let alone rushing up, even if it comes up one after another to kill the opposite side, it can also consume a top master of the rivers and lakes to death.

When the blood beads of one of the dart masters on the opposite side were about to fall to the ground, the rest of the people behind also rushed up, and the knives in their hands were also raised, killing behind Xu Lai, and Hong Shichang stood quietly in the pouring rain, looking at the three people who were about to be chopped into pulp.

Cao Cheng and Zhou Wenbin's guards protected Zhou Wenbin under the wall, and Zhou Wenbin was not like the weak scholar at this time, facing the enemy so imposingly, he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to raise his head.

On the contrary, he stood upright under the wall, his body was as straight as Xu Lai's sword, he looked at the three people in front of him who were fighting with the mighty dart game, he felt that he regretted it, he regretted why he was born in a poor family, he didn't learn a little martial arts, otherwise how could he drag down others!

Fourteen dart masters who could go out and teach apprentices by themselves were all willing to work under the command of others, Cao Cheng really didn't know how to describe the man not far away!

And these fourteen dart masters are also the top strength of the mighty dart game, and they were all taken out tonight, which shows that Hong Shichang is determined to kill.

Xu Lai used his sword to instantly sweep out two sword qis, forcing back the dart master who was besieging the three people behind, and helped Cao Cheng and the others delay the pressure in an instant.

However, he knew that this was just the beginning, and when the crossbowman who was lying on the wall and had already loaded the crossbow arrows found the right time to release a few cold arrows, it would really be a lack of skills!

As expected, the second wave of crossbow arrows shot down the gap between the dart masters, and shot fiercely, because it was rainy, almost completely masking the sound of crossbow arrows.

Xu Lai flew a few in a row, but he almost let a crossbow arrow hit, but Cao Cheng blocked it with a knife for him, and Xu Lai also did it because he had to protect Zhou Wenbin.

Looking at his own hat that was shot down underground, Zhou Wenbin's attendant, his eyes were already a little dazed, he had never seen such a battle, he felt a little helpless now, but his left hand still protected Zhou Wenbin tightly behind him.

However, after two or three breaths, the two groups of people were entangled together, Xu Lai no longer restrained his sword momentum so much, but completely let go, and his body pace accelerated, so that those dart masters couldn't see clearly in this autumn rainy night!

With a sharp sword light flying in the air, the three-foot Qingfeng directly took the life of one of them, and Xu Lai did not rush forward, but directly withdrew in front of the three who were still fighting hard with several other dart masters.

Although this battle was just a cup of tea, Cao Cheng and the attendant were already a little tired, if Xu Lai hadn't been distracted to help the two, I'm afraid that these three people except Xu Lai would have died under the knife!

The autumn rain was even greater, and a cloud of mist could be faintly seen, which made this ongoing death match look more charming.

The crossbowmen on the wall had already shot the fourth wave of crossbow arrows, and even if Xu Lai was good, he was slashed by the crossbow arrows like hidden poisonous snakes.

The situation of the three people in the back is also not good, the knife wound on Cao Cheng's body looks extremely terrifying because of the increase in rain, and the attendant has been pierced in the shoulder in order to help Zhou Wenbin block the arrow, and he has lost the slightest strength.

Although there are currently four people on the other side, there is also a Hong Shichang who has not moved so far, and the housekeeper Ah Qu who has been standing behind him, the form is becoming more and more unfavorable to Xu Lai's side!

Xu Lai glanced at the injury on his shoulder, as if he had decided something, and at the moment when the people on the opposite side were about to step forward, he directly twisted the Qingfeng in his hand hard, and the strength gushed out, and the clothes on his body used to block the rain were directly shocked by the internal breath surging all over Xu Lai's body, and also shook those people back a few steps.

And Hong Shichang's internal breath was also restless under Xu Lai's momentum, and he couldn't suppress it!

This is Hong Shichang's fighting spirit when he meets an opponent who is on a par with himself!

Hong Shichang grabbed the handle of the knife with his right hand, which had been sharpened into thick calluses, and was about to lift up the sinking dragon sparrow that had not seen blood for many years.

But he suddenly thought of something, looked at his posture holding the knife, sighed secretly, changed a little, and then put it in his hand again, and slowly walked towards Xu Lai.

And Ah Qu, who has followed Hong Shichang for many years, saw the meaning of his master, he knew that Hong Shichang was not only because he wanted to fight with Xu Lai, but also because he didn't want those dart masters to die in vain, but the most important thing was that the two people except Xu Lai were already at the end of the crossbow!

The droplets of water on Qingfeng were still dripping down, Xu looked at Uncle Shi who was walking towards him step by step, and said calmly: "Uncle Shi seems to be reluctant to let these people under your hands die in my hands again, so have you decided to do it yourself?" ”

Hong Shichang did not answer Xu Lai, but raised the sinking dragon sparrow in his hand and pointed it at Xu Lai, Hong Shichang answered him with such an action!

Xu glanced at the dozen or so crossbowmen on the wall, and then at the few dart masters who were standing on the side and ready to do it again, and by the way, he glanced at Ah Qu, who didn't know the level of martial arts, and finally Xu Lai looked indifferently at Hong Shichang, who was already seven steps away from him, standing in place, closing his eyes and accumulating his sword.

"Uncle Shi, do you know that autumn is strong?"

Hong Shichang's eyes, which were closed by the momentum of the charged knife, opened suddenly!
