Chapter 467: Torment

"Kargas, you and I stay up there and watch, the others,." Zhou Rui commanded.

At this time, knowing that the other party has caught the sore foot on his side and is attacking in the simplest and most effective way, in this case, it is to find a loss to continue to keep the manpower outside. Just leave two people outside to see how things go. Anyway, I have reinforcements on my side, so it's good to hold out until that time. After all, the Dragon Gate Inn is a brick and wood structure, since there is no cutting corners, it doesn't seem to be so easy to burn, especially since there are so many people inside, as long as the small fire is extinguished in time.

Jin Xiangyu is obviously well versed in the way of safe production. At the same time, an inn must have all kinds of preparations. The water tank in the yard and kitchen is always full. There were three wells for carrying water, one in the courtyard, one outside the front door of the inn, and one in the well house. Although things like pine oil and pine wax are becoming more and more widely used in construction, the Dragon Gate Inn has not used any of these flammable and explosive materials, and the floor has been impregnated with medicinal juices. This is also the standard configuration of almost all inns in the north, after this treatment of the floor is anti-corrosion, fireproof, moth-proof, easy to scrub, and with use, the wood grain will become more and more beautiful after polishing the surface. Although the arrows that kept flying into the room made everyone scramble, when they found that they were actually able to cope with Yuru, they gradually calmed down.

Kargas didn't just look at it from above, the other party didn't dare to get close, but it was a good opportunity for him to show off his archery skills. And he only needs to shoot an arrow out, he doesn't have to protect himself at all, Zhou Rui will naturally block all the arrows that threaten the two of them, and even directly copy some arrows that are not too powerful into his hands. This kung fu, Kargas was also extremely impressed.

In these years, Zhou Rui's skills have improved a lot compared to when he first met Ye Tao. In the past, there were high-level fingers like Liu Yong and Jin Ze, but later, in a series of actions, they condensed their skills, reactions, consciousness, and experience. Now he is still quite far from the old and strong Liu Yong when he competes in martial arts, but on the battlefield, in this complex situation, he has the energy that is definitely not inferior to Liu Yong and others.

"A little while," Zhou Rui whispered to Calgas. Kargas gritted his teeth and nodded. Although the longbow has a long range and great power, it has a very large loss on the wrist, elbow and even all the way to the waist, and the longbow's hit rate is also limited, after all, they can't predict the slight change in the direction of the wind, they can't predict the opponent's sudden turn and run, and the time that the fluorescent arrow cluster flies in the air is really too long.

Zhou Rui had already seen a point of light emerging from a black forest in the distance, which was a signal from the Yunzhou army, and the special battalion was almost there. The remaining distance is really only a matter of minutes for a special battalion where everyone rides good horses.

And Zhou Rui took out another signal stick, and it was three purple signal flares, which was regarded as issuing an attack order. The special battalion heard the news and moved.

The special battalion was not very good at such a cavalry-on-cavalry head-on confrontation. But on this kind of battlefield, their tactics are also very distinctive, and the special battalion A group, which has a total of more than 1,000 people, was actually divided into almost ten squads, scattered, and they formed a wide front and rushed over overwhelmingly. They are not ordinary warriors, if you want to say that the individual soldier ability, all of them are top-notch, and the armor on their bodies is customized by everyone, absolutely sparing no expense, when the short crossbows in their hands shoot the first batch of short arrows in unison, it is not the Dragon Gate Inn that suffers, but the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Battalion.

Without warning, the most elite armies of Dongping and Northern Liao collided in this way. Both sides gritted their teeth, trying to shoot even one more round of arrows before the impact came, inflicting more damage on their opponents. What the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Battalion didn't expect was that when the two sides entered the crossbow that could shoot straight and could use the ultimate strength to create an almost straight firing line, the special battalion actually didn't have the grace to shoot at the horses of the Flying Tiger Battalion. The gallop of the sturdy Northern Liao military horses was strangled alive, and the screams, neighings, and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground and tumbling reverberate, making the entire Flying Tiger Battalion's formation stagnate. And at this time, something even worse came. Some of the fighters of the special battalion took out a different kind of crossbow from their backs, which looked more like a small ballista, but in fact, the small incendiary bombs on the thing called a grenadier that had long been loaded fell into the array of the Flying Tiger Battalion with a faint smell of gunpowder smoke and tail flames, especially in those areas where many fighters were concentrated. Clusters of orange-red flames burst open, accompanied by a loud bang. The flames and sounds made it more and more difficult for the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Battalion to control their horses. The Flying Tiger Battalion's originally majestic attack line suddenly dispersed.

At this moment, the fighters of the special battalion rushed in with cavalry swords that had almost become an extension of their arms. Both armies have extremely high killing efficiency, and it would be extremely terrible to fight together on a fair playing field. Even if it is the winning side, even if it is a unit like the special battalion, it has to bear the loss that makes the commander in chief and the general in command heartache in order to win the final victory. However, such fairness is unlikely to happen, especially with special battalions. They are an army whose goal is to create injustice and create a situation of victory, and every detail related to victory will be fully studied and fully utilized, and this short encounter is no exception, not to mention, they still have the noble goal of rescuing the battalion Zheng Zhourui in their minds. Incendiary bombs and the like, the shooting never stops, and these war horses of the special battalion have long been familiar with this kind of fire and sound, but for the Flying Tiger battalion, this is a big trouble. In order to guarantee this advantage, the special battalion did not hesitate to equip the shooters of each grenadier with two escorts. There are a lot of masters in the special battalion, for these people, they must strictly follow the norms when they train, but on the battlefield, they may not be able to dominate the rivers and lakes, but it is their best guarantee, and those guys who are good at hidden weapons are like fish in water, flying knives, sleeve arrows and other things are commonplace, and the special battalion has always liked to use poison, and each company has a special department responsible for preparing poison for everyone. For a while, the screams of the Flying Tiger Battalion continued.

Even at the very least, it is impossible for the special battalion to fight fairly with the Flying Tiger battalion. The special battalion is now composed of elite members of more than 200,000 units of various types in Yunzhou, and has never exceeded the scale of 2,500 people. This time, the A team that came here secretly has never exceeded 800 people. The commanders of Team A, including Zhang Wei and Song Feng, are still worried that the 800 people are "uneven" and their combat effectiveness is "worrying". The Flying Tiger Battalion is a unit with resources and manpower tilted by the Western Route Army, which is modeled after those main battle corps in Yunzhou. The general units of the Western Route Army, as long as they can meet the training standards of the Flying Tiger Battalion, can also be recognized as members of the Flying Tiger Battalion. In contrast to the two-compartment, the special battalion is more "battalion" than the take-off tiger battalion, but the meaning is completely different.

To the frustration of the Flying Tiger Battalion, the enemy, who was often knocked off his horse by them during the onslaught, rolled on the ground a few times, then stood up with a curse and fought on the ground. Sometimes the swords they slash at the enemy don't look like they're in the real place, and they often slip away. But the cavalry swords in the hands of the soldiers of the special battalion have always been able to pierce the armor on their bodies.

The huge investment in equipment of the Western Route Army may be able to make troops like the Flying Tiger Battalion have some confidence when facing the main battle battalion in Yunzhou, but it is by no means facing the special battalion. Needless to say, the weapons in the hands of the soldiers of the special battalion are made of Damascus steel cavalry swords are standard, and many people dislike that thing is too light to be suitable, so they specially find craftsmen to make unique weapons. Although the special battalion strictly forbade a series of flashy weapons such as the nine-ring knife, and strictly forbade weapons with parts that can only make a sound but have no actual effect, the soldiers of the special battalion still have a lot of weapons in their hands that make people afraid when they see them, and the most annoying thing may be something like a mace. Even for ordinary cavalry swords, special treatments such as serrations and double blood grooves abound, and the special battalion has always been unkind. The gap in armor is even greater. The armor on the soldiers of the special battalion is basically double-layered, piercing the first layer of armor, and the biggest possibility is that they fold their blades on the second layer of armor. This kind of safe design makes the soldiers of the special battalion more and more unscrupulous in battle.

After the soldiers of the special battalion arrived, those people in the Dragon Gate Inn were left to watch the show. Kargas looked at the infinitely close to one-sided occupancy, and his mouth was wide open, not knowing how to react. He saw very clearly that the two sides, perhaps no different in courage, had achieved diametrically opposite results.

"It's ...... Is your elite army in Yunzhou? Kargas asked.

"Yes. This is the unit I led, the most elite unit in Yunzhou. Perhaps, it is also the most elite unit in the whole world. Zhou Rui proudly said that he was by no means boasting.

The battle lasted for a quarter of an hour, and after the soldiers of the special battalion had eliminated the enemy, Zhang Wei and Song Feng came to see Zhou Rui in a good time. "Boss, it's not too late."

Zhou Rui smiled and said, "It's just right, I'll be in trouble if I'm a little late." The brothers are not seriously injured, right? ”

"Four people were killed, and the rest were fine, some were minor and serious, but none of them were life-threatening, and there should be no disability or anything like that. …… Now, there are too many recruits. Song Feng sighed. Although the selection criteria for the special battalion have not changed, this is also a problem, and more and more people have begun to prepare in a targeted manner, which has caused a slight decline in the quality of the recruits of the special battalion.

"Boss, we asked. These people, hehe, are here for this guy next to you. Zhang Wei said.

"Oh?" Zhou Rui looked at Kargas and asked, "Do you want to introduce yourself?" ”
