Chapter 5: The Bloody War

As the horse bandits on the periphery kept throwing, the arrows shot into the camp of the convoy like a storm, and the people inside could not raise their heads at all.

Everyone had to shrink their bodies as much as possible, clinging to the side of the carriage, and slowly waiting for the moment to fight back.

At this time, some people are unfortunately hit by arrows, and they don't dare to shout at will, for fear of attracting more arrows, so they have to grit their teeth and hold on, there is nothing they can do.

After more than a dozen rounds of arrow rain, the arrows in the sky gradually thinned, and everyone quickly realized that the time for counterattack was approaching, and slowly pulled the arrows from the quiver.

Feeling that the time was almost up, Gongzi Wei Xing nodded towards Mr. Ning's darthead, and Mr. Ning's dart head immediately threw a beautiful piece of porcelain into the air outside according to the plan in advance.

Suddenly throwing something out of it, most of the bandits subconsciously focused their attention on the porcelain in mid-air.

Before the porcelain landed, Gongzi Wei Xing shouted: "Launch!" ”

All the people in the camp suddenly stood up and frantically drew their bows and shot outward, and the crossbows of Phoenix Fort acted as the vanguard, mercilessly harvesting fresh lives.

The horse bandits on the periphery were caught off guard, the horse bandits on the inner layer were harvested in a whole circle, and the horse bandits on the middle level desperately beat their war horses, wanting to flee far away!

On the contrary, the outer layer of horse bandits blocked the route of the middle layer of horse bandits to a certain extent, and it was inevitable that they would be crowded and panicked!

On the road to the Western Regions, porcelain, tea and silk were the most precious goods.

In normal times, this exquisite porcelain is worth no less than a hundred taels of silver!

However, at this moment of crisis, everyone may not even be able to save their lives, so naturally it doesn't matter!

It's not that there are no bandits who want to draw their bows to fight back, but they are all killed by the crossbow points that rushed out of the car formation, but they die faster!

Since the guards of the dart master and the chamber of commerce did not have such sturdy leather armor and leather hats as Phoenix Castle, they did not jump out, so they had to look at the chic majesty of Phoenix Castle with envy, while continuing to hide behind the carriage and draw their bows and shoot from time to time.

When the horse bandits on the periphery fled a mile away, a group of dart masters jumped out and hurriedly began to collect arrows on the battlefield, especially the crossbow arrows of Phoenix Fort, and tried not to pull down a single one.

The crossbow arrows of Phoenix Fort are specially made, and the number is limited, and each cavalry who goes out is only qualified to configure thirty, which is completely different from ordinary arrows and cannot be used universally.

The Nine Masters of the Skull Banner looked at the peripheral leader kneeling under his horse, jumped off the war horse suddenly, patted his face lightly with his hand, and sneered: "You have lost more than three hundred brothers, the Skull Banner does not raise waste, you know the rules, you can finish it yourself!" ”

The leader of the periphery lay on the ground, hurriedly grabbed the right foot of the nine masters, and begged pitifully: "Nine masters, nine masters, give the villain another chance!" If the villain can't attack the convoy again, the villain will die on the way! Ask for the 、、、、、、 of the Nine Masters"

The Nine Masters stared at the leaders on the periphery extremely indifferently for a moment, and responded coldly: "Okay, I'll give you another chance!" ”

The leader of the horse bandits on the periphery immediately let go of the right foot of the Nine Masters and kowtowed again and again with great gratitude.

At this time, the Nine Masters turned around and wanted to get on the horse, but in the next step, he suddenly pulled out the saber on the war horse, and suddenly turned around and slashed down!

With a clang, the steaming head rolled down on the hard sand, grunting with blood.

"The rules of the Skull Banner are not broken, and the Skull Banner never raises waste and rice buckets!" The Nine Masters sneered as they wiped their sabers.

Except for a few unlucky people in the camp who were shot in the vital parts and died, the other twenty or so injured warriors bandaged their wounds.

has been walking on the tip of a knife and begging for a living, most of them have practiced a good hand, and they are barely half a doctor!

At this moment, everyone has no way to pay attention to anything, so they have to spray two sips of wine on the wound and bandage it simply!

Seeing that the people of Phoenix Fort were unharmed, Mr. Ning stared at their leather armor and leather hats, his heart was extremely envious and his eyes were hot, and he thought: If he is lucky enough to escape the ghost gate this time, no matter what the price is, he must get a batch of leather armor and leather hats of Phoenix Castle!

If you have a batch of leather armor and leather hats of Phoenix Castle, you will have fewer children in the future!

Soon, the horn of the Skull Banner sounded!

"Be careful, everyone, this is the Skeleton Banner's order to charge the horse bandits on the periphery! If the horns of the retreating bulls do not sound, the horse bandits on the periphery will not be able to retreat; Otherwise, you will be stripped alive! Mr. Ning explained solemnly.

Everyone was shocked, realizing that the most difficult moment was coming, and it was inevitable that there was some anxiety in their hearts!

This time, the horse bandits on the periphery learned their lesson, and some of them threw around the camp to suppress the attack of the convoy;

Some of them jumped off their horses and surrounded them from all sides, armed with machetes, spears, axes, and other weapons.

Seeing the horse bandits approaching the camp step by step, everyone inside became anxious, but the arrows above their heads kept flying!

Seeing this, Gongzi Wei Xing had to order: "The warriors of Phoenix Fort are ready to stand up and fight back!" ”

The others were also ready to cooperate, and they had to get Wei Gongzi's order.

When the horse bandit who jumped off the horse was only more than 30 meters away from the carriage, Gongzi Wei Xing shouted sharply: "Three, two, one, counterattack!" ”

Gongzi Wei Xing stood with thirty-six warriors in leather armor at the same time, and suddenly pulled the trigger of the crossbow, and three crossbow arrows shot out in succession.

In three or four seconds, more than 100 crossbow arrows mercilessly took the lives of more than 100 of them.

Within a hundred meters, this three-shot crossbow has an amazing lethality and an extremely high hit rate!

Not to mention the close distance of more than 30 meters, it is also common to have two corpses and three corpses with one stone!

The rest of the people braved the arrows in mid-air, and also pulled the bow hyun, taking the opportunity to fight back desperately!

The horse bandits on foot were immediately repulsed, leaving behind a dense group of corpses!

However, the warriors in the caravan were inevitably shot by arrows, and more than a dozen were killed and wounded, and seven of them were seriously injured and had no breath of life!

Watching the familiar people around them keep dying, the rest of the people began to become numb and forgot their own life and death!

Meng Ping and the others of Phoenix Fort, because they were injured in the leg, kept lying under the carriage and fighting.

Temporarily repelling this wave of attacks, everyone immediately devoured some of the horse meat left over from last night to replenish their strength and prepare for the next wave of attacks.

In the next half hour, the horse bandits on the periphery launched three more waves of offensives, all of which were repulsed;

The remaining peripheral bandits were less than three hundred, and the skull banner on the high slope sounded the horn of retreat.

In addition to the people of Phoenix Castle, the guards of the dart master and the chamber of commerce suffered heavy casualties, and there were still more than thirty dart masters left who still had some combat effectiveness, but they were more or less injured;

Of the more than thirty guards, only eight are still alive now, and they are also scarred!

The people of Phoenix Fort have died for the time being due to the leather armor and leather hats, but the leather armor is full of arrows, and there are not many crossbow arrows left, and the average number of people is less than three, and the situation is very critical!

The scorching sun was high, and the sweat on his body made everyone feel very uncomfortable and greasy!

A few minutes later, a group of 100 elite soldiers came from the skeleton banner on the high slope and galloped in!

Looking at the neat formation and the momentum of the tiger's eye, it is more like a regular army than the regular army of the imperial court, and its combat effectiveness can be imagined, and it is not comparable to the horse bandits on the periphery at all!

Gongzi Wei Xingke is very aware of the combat effectiveness of the elite soldiers of the Skull Banner, and a single sprint may break through the precarious convoy!

At this time, Gongzi Wei Xing stood up and said solemnly: "Brothers of Phoenix Castle, the real devil is here, let's hurt him, don't leave all the crossbow arrows anymore, prepare for the three-three formation!" ”

"Even if we all die here today, we will bite off half of the skeleton flag!"

When the galloping cavalry of the Skull Banner was only a hundred meters away from the carriage, Gongzi Wei Xing led a team of twelve people to resolutely jump out of the camp, holding a crossbow and bow, and the next two teams also jumped out in turn!

The cavalry team in front of the skull banner also discovered this situation, and the speed of the gallop was very fast, and it was too late to adjust the horse's head, so they had to tighten the horse's belly, and waved the horsewhip desperately, wanting to trample the enemy in front of them as fast as possible!

At the moment of thirty meters, the first team of Gongzi Wei Xing pulled the trigger continuously!

The twenty or thirty horses in front of them were suddenly hit by arrows and fell, and the riders on the horses were thrown out in an instant!

The horse bandits behind hurriedly tightened the reins, but they still couldn't dodge, and the horses fell down one by one!

The skull flag riders were all dizzy from the stolen air, but they still stood up stubbornly and began to search for weapons around them.

The second team had already stepped forward, with crossbows and bows, without any words, and began to reap the lives of the demons!

After the crossbow arrows were fired, the third team took the opportunity to contact and continued to move forward, mercilessly harvesting the souls and bodies of the devils.

During this period, the first team immediately began to collect crossbow arrows around them, and kept as much vitality as possible!

From the beginning of the engagement, a hundred real elites were unexpectedly annihilated in about a minute, which surprised the Skeleton Qijiu master who was two miles away, he couldn't imagine everything in front of him, his hands and feet were cold, and he felt that this was all a dream!

Each of the cavalry of the Skull Banner is a veteran with rich combat experience, and if you take out one at will, you can defeat one enemy ten, or even one enemy twenty without defeat!

After a while, the Nine Masters with three scars on their faces said coldly: "Let the remaining wastes play the forward, we will follow behind, and if we don't wash this caravan with blood today, Lao Tzu will never stop!" ”

、、、、、、

Looking at the Skeleton Banner cavalry following behind the horse bandits on the periphery, everyone quickly understood the conspiracy of the Skeleton Banner, and their faces darkened!

Although the combat effectiveness of the camp is less than one-fifth of the peak moment, everyone has not dropped their weapons, and they are ready to make the last fight and die on the battlefield in a bright and upright battle!

Just as everyone was fighting fiercely against the outer horse bandits at the front, the sound of hurried horse hooves came from a distance!

Gongzi Wei Xing shouted excitedly: "Brothers, we are saved, our reinforcements have arrived!" ”

The Nine Masters of the Skull Banner were suddenly shocked!
