Zhou Wu spat and said to Zhou Bin on the side: "Second brother, this group of people is not easy to gnaw." ”

"it, just rush." Zhou Bin said: "There are few of them. ”

Before the words fell, the smoke and dust on the official road were loud, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, the faces of the Zhou brothers changed, and Zhou Bin said to a big man: "Didn't Lord Ning say that General Lai would not send troops?" ”

"I don't know." The big man said with an indifferent face: "If the godfather sends someone to come, we will turn around and leave." ”

All the family members of General Lai worshiped him as a godfather, or he was a godfather, and his surname was changed, and all of them were changed to the surname Lai.

The archers in front of them were all surnamed Lai, and they wouldn't use arrows against the people sent by their godfather.

The brothers of the Zhou family were in a hurry, and the bandits on both sides of the official road were also in chaos, and they climbed up the mountain one after another, and after a while, Yang Qiu and others finally appeared in front of everyone.

"Master Zhou, do you dare to come down?" Zhang Han laughed, and he didn't know whether he wanted the other party to come down, or if he wanted the other party to turn around and run away.

This escape, Wang Changfu and others can chase after it, the bandits are chaotic, and they can kill and injure a lot, and the hidden dangers of the Zhou brothers will not become a threat in a short time, but if they don't get rid of the root cause of the trouble, they still feel inappropriate in their hearts.

"Kill, Lai Shiyi, it's up to a few of you!"

Yang Qiu and the others were still halfway through, with an unstable foothold, and at the same time, some bandits who intercepted the road began to throw stones to harass them, Zhang Han's subordinates here were few, Zhou Wu was an old bandit, knowing that the opportunity was rare, he waved his arm hard, and shouted: "Brothers, kill me with me, kill the little proprietor in front of you, everyone will have a heavy reward!" ”

Zhou Bin shouted hoarsely: "Those who rush forward will be rewarded with twenty taels, those who kill and injure one person will be rewarded fifty, those who kill one person will be rewarded with one hundred, and those who kill Zhang Han will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver!" ”

This is really an out-and-out reward, bandits have always robbed things, are the big head to the leader, the small head to keep their own, usually eat and drink, can not save any money, this time everyone is red-eyed, two rows of people and horses, some on foot, some on horseback, are all shouting to kill, rushing forward.

"Raise the shield, Yang Sisun, Wen Zhongfa, raise it high!" Seeing the bandits rushing over, Wang Changfu began to shout at everyone to dismount and form a team.

The bandits and Zhang Han are three or four hundred steps apart, not far away, Zhang Han is riding horses, and the bandits intercepted behind him are also chaotic, if they turn around at this time, it is actually difficult for the bandits to catch up, but Zhang Han is determined to solve the Zhou brothers, and he will not turn around and retreat at this time, not only will he not retreat, he rode his horse to the middle and looked at Wang Changfu commanding.

The sun has begun to deviate, the heat of the sun has also decreased a lot, and some cool breeze keeps blowing from the north, which is quite pleasant to blow on people, but Zhang Han didn't pay attention to these, he had a dry mouth, he felt that his palate and tongue were stuck together, and he wanted to speak, but it was difficult to open his mouth.

"Water ......"

Zhang Han reluctantly opened his mouth to ask for water, but he felt that his voice was extremely hoarse, as if he had been talking for ten days and half a month, and his voice seemed to be a cracked land, without a trace of moisture.

Zhang Chun was also very nervous, his originally ruddy face turned yellow again, and he was still miserable, and when he heard Zhang Han asking for water, he hurriedly handed over the water hyacinth for a while.

Zhang Han drank several sips, and then he felt that the thirst in his mouth was much better, he smiled to himself, this group has fought a lot, and there are a lot of knives and guns, why is it so nervous this time?

Looking at the Lama Hu and the porters around him, most of them are the same as him, each of them has a somewhat unnatural look, and many people use the tip of their tongues against the roof of their mouths, obviously their mouths are dry.

In fact, it's no wonder that they used to fight in groups, and they knew that it was just a "fight", unless they were not careful, otherwise they would not be killed, and they would not be injured.

For a brave and ruthless crowd like Lahu, being injured is like a medal for a soldier in later generations, with colors on his body, dusty when he walks, and a weight in talking to people.

But after all, it was a "fight", not a war.

These bandits in front of them are all carrying human lives, and they are here to ask for their lives, not the kind of brawls that usually grab territory.

Although the level of both sides is poor, this is an out-and-out war.

"Don't be afraid, the more afraid you are, the sooner you die, you turn around and run, people will cut you in the back, and you don't have to worry about you fighting back, you still run like this, is there anyone more stupid than you in the world?"

Wang Changfu kept walking in the team, thirty or so people were divided into three teams, the three teams were very close to each other, and they became a small phalanx after being opened.

Behind him, the bandits have been defeated by Yang Qiu and others, the seventy or so people are still miles apart, Yang Qiu and others rode their horses and ran forward, and two horses in the middle turned back their heads, Wang Changfu looked at it and nodded, Yang Qiu is a fine person, fighting here, and then send people to Xinpingbao to ask for reinforcements, so that he will be invincible.

At this time, the two sides are getting closer and closer, and they can see each other's faces clearly, the bandits' faces are very vicious, and Zhang Han's subordinates are also full of ferocity, and both sides are constantly shouting to give themselves courage.

"He was the first to die," Wang Changfu muttered, "What are you shouting nonsense when you are in battle, and you are shouting all your strength." ”

Less than a hundred steps apart, Wang Changfu turned back from the front of the formation, got on a horse, and rushed to Zhang Han's side. He was afraid that the proprietor would be too nervous, and in case Zhang Han fell off his horse and ran away at this time, there would be no need to fight this battle.

After all, it's not a real battle formation, and Zhang Han is not a general, in fact, Wang Changfu thinks that it's okay to run away, and it's okay to leave the matter of suppressing bandits to the officers and soldiers, so why let He Yusheng's people take such a risk.

At this time, he saw several sturdy figures emerging from the bandit team, their bodies were very fast, and they had a clear eye, their movements were very neat, fast but not chaotic, and what surprised Wang Changfu even more was that those people were all holding longbows, and they were carrying quivers behind them and on their waists.

Wang Changfu glared at Zhang Han and said, "It's a bad thing, proprietor, where are the archers among the bandits?" It seems that he is not an ordinary archer, but an elite soldier. ”

Zhang Han also saw it, he smiled coldly, and said, "This is Lai Tongxin's soldier." ”

"General Lai?" Wang Changfu said: "Don't we have a tribute to him every month?" ”

"It doesn't have to be sent by him personally, it must have something to do with Ning Yicheng." Zhang Han's mind is clear, there are few people who are faster than his brain when it comes to this kind of thing, and he thinks very clearly between breaths, and he says to Wang Changfu: "Now you understand why we have to solve this trouble by ourselves?" ”

Wang Changfu said: "It's not just trouble, maybe we may not be able to withstand it." ”

His expression began to be uneasy, and the archers on the other side had already set their feet, and at about eighty paces, each of them raised their longbows diagonally, and wound their arrows, and then heard a series of "crashing" sounds, and the arrows were shot in the blink of an eye, and fell towards them.

Everyone couldn't help but look at the sky, the other party used a serious step bow, the strength was great, and the arrow fell so fast that it was almost impossible to see clearly. This is not a hunting bow for hunting in the mountain people, a step bow production procedure is very troublesome, a good bow takes a long time to make out, can use a bow and arrow is not an ordinary good hand, the qualified archers of the Ming army have become fewer and fewer, at the beginning of the founding of the country, Ming Taizu stipulated that a hundred households have at least more than 20 archers, and now a commander may not be able to pick out 20 qualified archers.

It was almost a sight of raising his eyes and falling his eyes, and there was no time to dodge, all five arrows fell in the formation, three of them were inserted in the ground, which startled people, one was inserted in the chest of a dart master, and the flesh was very deep, and the small half of the arrow shaft was inserted into it, and the tail feathers and the second half of the arrow shaft were still trembling, and the dart master looked at the arrow on his chest, and his eyes first showed disbelief, and then he screamed miserably, and the other person was inserted into the foot by the arrow, and jumped on one leg while screaming in place.

"If you get into an arrow wound, don't scream, get out of here."

Wang Changfu shouted, but the effect was average, the two of them still kept shouting, the people next to them were all in chaos, and the entire queue began to be chaotic.

In fact, if it was a group fight, these dart masters might not be so miserable if they were slashed, but now the dart masters are nervous, and the pain is doubled.

At this time, the bowstring sounded again, and five arrows were shot over, the dart master was in chaos here, everyone subconsciously wanted to hide, the queue was completely chaotic, Wang Changfu ordered everyone to strictly guard their posts, and the porters still listened to him, the tigers were already in chaos, everyone was hiding behind the knife player holding the shield, Yang Sisun and Wen Zhongfa and others hid behind a long list of people, everyone bent over.

In the second round, two arrows missed, and three arrows fell on people, with waists, backs, and legs, and these three people also screamed along with the previous two.

Then they came to sixty paces, the shouts of the bandits over there were clearly audible, the bandits' faces showed excitement, they also saw that there was also a large group of men and horses behind the He Yusheng dart division, and the weapons in their hands were much better than the ones they used, this battle should be a vicious battle, not as simple as they went to the mountain village to rob. But under the continuous shooting of these five archers, the front team of the opposite dart division has been chaotic, and the back team is not useful, and it is like this on the battlefield, while the momentum goes down, the momentum on the other side surges up, and the momentum is strong, the array is not chaotic, and the victory is in hand.

At this time, the third round of arrows came again, this time it was already down the slope, and the distance was closer, Lai Shiyi and the others used flat shooting, and the strength was a few points greater than the projectile, Wen Zhongfa felt a shock to his wrist, and then he saw the tip of the arrow inserted from the other side of his shield, and watched the tip of the arrow pierce into his palm, and then he felt pain.
