Chapter 613: Southbound (10)
It was naturally Xu Le who jumped out of the grass and launched a sneak attack. This is a battle formation, not a competition, so naturally there is no need to be named, let alone wait for the opponent to open the posture and prepare before making a move. As the commander of an army, not only must he be strong in martial arts, but he must not be sloppy in judging everything when his mind reacts to the battle. Don't look at the fact that the two sides add up to less than 30 people now, and Xu Le and his party are only three people, but this attack is still a demonstration of the art of war and strategy, not blindly winning by force.
Xu Le's knife was not indiscriminate, he had already noticed that among the four men with straight knives, only the target was wearing leather armor. Judging from the clothing, this person is most likely the genus of the leader. Capture the thief and capture the king first, not to mention that the enemy is outnumbered at the moment, and it is necessary to kill a few leaders first, so that others can deal with it.
What he used was the treasure knife that he snatched from the hands of Zhibihe, this knife came from the land of Wuyue, which was famous for smelting and making famous swords, and it cost the Zhibi family a lot of money, and its sharpness was naturally not idle. Although it is not up to the point where the legend is like clay, it is not far from it. Coupled with Xu Le's extraordinary strength and magical knife skills, it is not surprising that he cuts people in two.
Although the other three big men panicked when they saw that the leader was killed, they did not flee, and they all took a step back and raised their straight knives high at the same time. It was only then that the three of them looked at each other to make sure that their robes were still alive. This reaction speed and handling method alone is far better than most Eagle Soldiers nowadays.
However, in the face of Xu Le's means, this skill alone is not enough to protect himself. He was even more merciless with one sword, his body pounced on the three people like lightning, and the straight knife in his hand turned into a deadly white rainbow, slashing his head and covering his face and attacking the three of them. Although those three men are also pawns who are accustomed to using straight knives, there is still a certain gap between them and the generals, let alone compete with this kind of super fighting general? In the blink of an eye, another person was cut to the ground, and only two people were left to retreat and barely parry.
This group of people is naturally Xie Yongzhi's subordinates. Although he captured Han Yue alive, he did not get any effective information. By checking the corpse and Han Yue, the captive, Xie Yongzhi can be sure of one thing: the people he wants to kill are still alive, and from common sense, Xu Le and his party are not too far away from where they are. Originally, with his thoughts, he should continue to chase and kill in the five-tooth warship until he killed all the people.
But before he could leave, the Xie family had already sent someone to pass the order that the Wuya warship must immediately sail back to Parrot Island to hide, and leave immediately without delay. The host's attitude is serious and tough, and Xie Yongzhi doesn't dare to take it as child's play. Besides, the main family both ordered Xu Le to be killed and urgently withdrew troops, presumably because they got the news that some officials and soldiers were coming to encircle and suppress it. No matter how powerful the Wuya boat is, it is impossible to rely on a single boat to resist the sailors along the river. He could only lead his troops to retreat to Hanyang overnight, and at the same time sent this group of men and horses to go down the river in a small boat to search for the traces of Xu Le and others, and kill them immediately once they found it.
There are not many people in this team, but they are hard hands who can kill and fight well in the Xie family's trilogy, and they have also practiced the ability to fight in formations. The Wuyi Xie family has a deep heritage, and even if the family business declines, there will be a shadow to protect the children and grandchildren. Most of the methods of the famous Beifu Army drills in the past have been lost, but the Xie family still retains some of the methods and lessons. The combination of short spears, straight knives and bows and arrows was one of the means of the Beifu army back then. In the past, when the north and the south clashed, the soldiers of the northern province relied on this tactic to fight with the brave generals of the north. Today's Xie family's combat strength naturally cannot be compared with the Beifu soldiers, but Xu Le and others are not only small in number, but also lack long soldiers, armor, war horses and other things, and their ability must be discounted a little.
Besides, judging from Han Yue's performance, no matter how brave the northerners are, they will cut off most of the road when they get to the water. Since Xu Le and the others are township parties, they must have behaved similarly in the water. One night is not enough to restore the soft-footed shrimp to its original state, and its combat power cannot be compared with peacetime. It is with this self-confidence that these men dared to go ashore to search and kill after discovering the traces, but Xu Le's skills and strategies far exceeded the estimate, and he immediately suffered a big loss.
After all, it is a strong force trained according to the Beifu army's drill method, and some remnants of this strong Han army can still be seen on them, even if the battle is unfavorable, they will not flee immediately. Seeing that the straight knife hand was invincible, several men with short spears immediately rushed forward, and the short spears in their hands were handed out towards Xu Le.
One inch long, one inch strong! After all, the length of the short spear was above the straight sword, and they cooperated with each other for a long time, and although there was no shield at the moment, the opponent was only one person and had no bow and arrow. The short spearman can just let go of the stab, and the straight knife hand can adjust to find an opportunity to attack, plus the cold arrow of the archer, you can also kill the general.
This thinking cannot be considered wrong, but they ignore the fact that their opponent was not alone from the beginning!
The sound of blades of grass suddenly sounded, and just as a few archers had just shot with their arrows, a petite figure rose into the sky and swooped towards a short spearman. In the sunlight, the cold light was fleeting, and the blood was still raging from the neck of the short spearman. The attacker didn't stop at the blow, and was already swinging two daggers of refinement and lunging towards the next spearman. At this moment, the bowstring sounded, and the archer, who had just reacted, opened his bow and released his arrows, but all the arrows were shot at the unfortunate attacker, and the sharp arrows pierced through his leather armor, nailing the corpse firmly to the ground, and did not cause any damage to the sudden departure of the step.
Like Xu Le, Bu Li chose the armorer in the short spearman. With her methods, the shooter will not find a flaw at all. Fang Cai was nothing more than deliberately making a noise to attract the enemy's attention and facilitate Xu Le's attack, and only when everyone's spirit was led by Xu Le did she suddenly launch a sneak attack.
One inch short, one inch dangerous. Daggers are not battlefield weapons, and under normal circumstances, even if the dagger wields are more skilled in martial arts, they are no match for formally trained officers and spearmen. However, once the dagger wielded is close to him, the strength is different, and the spear wielder is at a disadvantage.
What's more, what she learned is the real meaning of the means of killing, there are no false tricks, the shot is to kill people, at this time she will not be merciful if she takes the lead. In the blink of an eye, half of the four spearmen also fell, and the remaining two spearmen clenched the short spears, but they didn't know whether to stab Xu Le in front or Bu Li behind them.
At this time, they had to admit that the eight of them were surrounded by two people one after the other, and they were unable to withstand the enemy on their backs. This is not a comparison of the number of people, but the difference in combat power, if the shooter does not shoot again, it will not take a moment or three, and his own few people will not survive.
The Xie family naturally has to help each other, not to mention that now everyone is dealing with Xu Le together, and it is impossible not to see death without help. The reason why the archers didn't release the arrows was because they couldn't aim and couldn't release the arrows because they were too fast. What's worse is that they themselves can't protect themselves.
Xu Le and the little wolf girl's sneak attack caught them off guard, making these shooters lose their accuracy in a hurry. Seeing that Pao Ze was dying one after another, he was even more flustered, and just as they were hurriedly trying to aim, they deliberately took a long detour, and Xiao Liu, who crawled on all fours, also came to the preset location and attacked these archers.
His dagger was flaid, and with a single blow it struck an archer in the face. However, his strength was small, and this knife was not enough to kill. The shot screamed and clutched his hand over the door, blood running down his fingers.
In fact, the effect of this blow is far less than that of Xu Le and Bu Li. However, the two of them had killed people one after another before, and the pressure on the shooter was so great that he thought that the sudden killing was also such a bad star. Some people hurriedly set up arrows and drew bows, while others abandoned their bows and stretched out their hands and drew their hands to prepare for hand-to-hand combat.
Xiao Liu rolled out of the ground at this moment, slashing straight at the leg of an archer, and when the archer retreated, he also rolled on the spot and retreated into the grass.
The two archers hurriedly fired arrows at him, but in the panic, there was no accuracy, and the two arrows did not know where to fly. The leader of the archers realized that something was wrong at this time, and shouted: "Leave him alone, deal with those two people!" "It's a pity that it's too late to realize at this time.
At the moment when Xiao Liu and the archers were whirling, Xu Le had already eliminated the other two straight knife men, cut off the weapons of a short spearman, handed the two to Bu Li to deal with, and rushed towards the archers with his knives. By the time the archers realized that something was wrong, the deadly Hades had already arrived.
The leader of the archers stepped back with a few men, trying to distance himself and continue to play the role of a bow and arrow. Several other archers gritted their teeth and raised their knives and rushed forward, ready to use their lives to fight for the chance to release arrows for Paoze. Sure enough, just as they rushed out, there was a sound of the bowstring loosening, followed by a scream. It's just that this scream didn't come from Xu Le in front of him, but from the robe behind him, and a bow-wielding archer screamed and fell to the ground with an arrow in his heart. Han Xiaoliu's figure appeared in the jungle, holding a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other, shouting: "Your grandfather now has a bow and arrow, who dares to compete with me?" ”
He just rolled out his knife and slashed people, in addition to buying time for Xu Le, he also grabbed a bow for himself. Half of Xiao Liu's ability is in archery, and the weakness of the bow is equivalent to abolishing one of his hands. At this moment, with the bow in hand, the courage immediately became strong. In addition, he was worried about the danger of his brother An, so he shot even more ruthlessly, and fired sharp arrows as he spoke, and shot two archers to the ground. Although these bow bearers are also excellent archers in the Xie family's trilogy, compared with Xiao Liu, the difference is too great, and they have no power to fight back.
Xu Le broke off and shouted: "Stop!" He stopped Xiao Liu's actions, and then glared at the remaining archers with a pair of tiger eyes and said, "Put down your weapons, and you can still save a life." If you are tired, you can just come to Xu to die under the knife! ”
At this time, the two spearmen had already been killed, and they came to the other side with daggers in their hands, and they formed horns with Xu Le and Han Xiaoliu. The leader of the archers who led the team realized at this time that he was the prey in the eyes of the other party. He swallowed his spit and asked with difficulty, "You left those marks on purpose?" ”
Xu Le snorted and didn't answer, Bu Li's little face was tense, his eyes were full of murderous energy, Xiao Liu didn't say a word, just pulled the bow full. The two sides were at a stalemate for a moment, and the archer leader dropped his bow and arrow in a daze, and then said to his subordinates: "Lose your weapon!" If you continue to fight, it will be a death, so it is better to use my life to change your life. In the past few years, everyone has had a hard time, and they can't afford to let their wives and children lose their pillars for the sake of the main family. The head of the family is unkind, and it is no wonder that I am unjust! ”
