Chapter 060: The Storm Rises Outside the Pavilion (Medium)
From the first glimpse, Xie Zuo roughly understood that the escort team was roughly divided into three teams. The first group had the least number of men, less than fifty horsemen, and was the vanguard of the whole team, with the wandering at the forefront, but all cavalry, and the leader of this forbidden army, the battalion commander, was also among them; The second team was barely considered the Chinese army, that is, where Xie Zuo's carriage was located, with about a hundred people guarding it; The last team was the largest, about 300 people, and the main force of the most protective prisoner cart was at the end.
And the current situation is that the refugee-like attackers suddenly came out of the roadside, and the location chosen happened to be between the Chinese army and the rear army, which not only cut off the connection between the Chinese army and the rear army, but even a lot of people poured out behind the rear army, basically completely surrounding the rear army! As for the front army, because of the long distance, plus the turn of the group, and the fact that they will find out what happened before coming to the rescue, it will definitely be too late. Therefore, in fact, Xie Zuo's rear army has become a lone army, surrounded by a team of refugees!
The gap between the swords and cards was very small, and it was impossible to see how many people had come for a while. However, the earth-shattering shouts of killing resounded in all directions, making Xie Zuo feel that he had fallen into the encirclement of thousands of troops!
The battle was heated at the beginning. The ranks of refugees can almost be described as forgetting their lives. Although the equipment is not as sophisticated as the forbidden army, and there is no battle formation, but a swarm of swarms rushed up to kill, and the momentum of not wanting to die is really terrifying!
Through the gap, Xie Zuo clearly saw that a puff of blood sprayed out like splashing water, and from time to time one or two severed hands and stumps flew into the sky, and the bright blood spread around like a stream, and even a lot of it flowed in front of Xie Zuo, converging into red puddles under his feet, which was extremely dazzling! Most of the sounds that came from the ears were the dull sound of sharp weapons entering the body, or the sound of blood shooting, and the screams of dying or not dying, all of which converged into an indescribable tragic and tragic lament!
After the initial panic and the ensuing helplessness, Xie Zuo finally calmed down. The situation is dangerous, but at least for the time being, the environment is safe. Hundreds of people formed a circle with a diameter of less than forty meters, you can imagine how thick the formation is, and if the killing outside wants to hurt yourself in the center of the circle, there is definitely no need to worry about it for a while.
If you don't guess wrong, these refugee-looking guys should be the team that spontaneously organized by the people to rescue Yue Fei. Although these people may seem to be in rags, their combat effectiveness must not be underestimated because of this. You must know that this was not a time of peace, the entire north was under the iron hooves of the golden soldiers, and there were not a few people in the north who spontaneously resisted, and countless rebel troops raised troops everywhere in the vast northern land.
The most important thing that Yue Fei led the rear guard army, commonly known as the Yue family army, was to regain the lost territory in the north. In fact, the heroic and warlike Yuejia army had finally reached Zhuxian Town, which was only a few dozen miles away from Kaifeng, and if he was given a few more years, he might really be able to achieve the grand plan of recovering the entire north. In this case, the rebel army and rebel army active in the north treated Yue Fei with admiration and expectation almost no different from that of a savior. Similarly, hearing that Yue Fei was killed, it didn't seem to be an incomprehensible thing for these rebels who had no hope of returning to their homeland, and when they were in despair, they simply went back to Lin'an Mansion to rescue Yue Dashuai.
In fact, from a national point of view, these rebels are on the side of justice. To save national heroes and avoid the misguided monarch, no matter from which point of view, there is nothing wrong with it. Generally speaking, under the guidance of Wei Guangzheng's ideology that justice will prevail, the reactionary Zhao Gou and his traitorous ministers who misled the country will surely fall under the iron fist of the people's justice. However, unfortunately, Xie Zuo himself is now playing one of the traitors who misled the country. No wonder so many long-ranged people beckoned to him during the first round of attacks. A faint official wearing an official robe and standing in front of Yue Shaobao's prisoner car to show off his might, who are you doing?
Thinking of this, Xie Zuo wanted to cry without tears. It's not good to pretend to be a traitor, you have to pretend to be a traitor who everyone gets and is punished, this task is really ...... Is it because he was heard by it last time he complained about the system, and now he is taking revenge on himself?
Suddenly, the voice of the previous command came from Xie Zuo's ears again:
"Knife card, volt. God arm crossbow, two sections and three waves, put! ”
As the shout fell, the shield in front of Xie Zuo, which blocked most of his vision, suddenly became short, and the light from outside suddenly penetrated in, revealing the figure of holding a sword or a halberd outside, or dancing Changge, and the faces of these people all flashed with a look called "resolute", everyone was not afraid of death, and rushed up desperately with all kinds of blades!
At this moment, Xie Zuo suddenly saw many soldiers in soft armor with a long wooden box tied to his left arm. These soldiers stood in two rows, the first row remained half-squatting, the second row stood upright, each with a huge crossbow more than three feet long and an arm that even exceeded the width of the armspan, and the front end of each crossbow bow, the sharp arrow reflected the dazzling cold light in the sunlight!
I didn't see any orders, the crossbow arrows at the flat end in the hands of the first row of crossbowmen shot out without warning, and dozens of arrows with cold light with the roar of death instantly drilled into the unarmed rebel crowd outside, and suddenly there was a muffled sound of sharp blades entering the flesh, and in the blood mist, the rebels in the front row suddenly fell like a lodging wheat!
There is a tacit understanding, the same no one to order, only one breath apart, and the standing crossbowmen also release the sharp arrows in their hands. There was a muffled pop, and a large number of bright blood-colored flowers bloomed in the group of rebels again!
At the same time as the second row of crossbowmen released their arrows, the first row of crossbowmen who released empty crossbow arrows quickly changed to squatting, stretched one foot into a leather ring at the front end of the crossbow arm, used the strength of the waist and abdomen to quickly pull the empty strings into a full moon, and took out the crossbow arrows from the wooden box on the left arm and filled the crossbow arrows, and then quickly got up and resumed half-squat, and quickly aimed and shot, turning the arrows flashing with cold light into a desperate hell messenger!
At the same time, the standing crossbowmen were repeating the same movements. The only difference is that they only need to stand and wind, but no matter what, the two rows of crossbowmen basically maintain the frequency of one round of crossbow arrows every three seconds, and after three rounds, a large part of the outer open space has been cleared, and the surging offensive of the rebels at the beginning has also slowed down!
Just when Xie Zuo thought that the situation was superior and he was about to turn the defense into an attack, that familiar voice sounded again:
"God arm crossbow, retreat. Knife card, up! ”
