Chapter 099: Driving the Wolf and Devouring the Tiger in Progress

Previous Chapter

Xie Zuo suddenly remembered that the purpose of extinguishing the fire was nothing more than to make it difficult for the enemy to distinguish between the enemy and me. But in order to illuminate the courtyard, the walls are full of torches, and now it is surrounded by dark bandits, not to mention how conspicuous it is. With such a conspicuous marker, will people from Yufu still rush up stupidly? If you can't cause chaos on both sides, why do you work so hard?

However, when Xie Zuo turned his head to look at the Xie Mansion compound, he saw that the originally brightly lit courtyard wall was now pitch black, and it was difficult to distinguish even the outline on the background panel of the dark night. This is still because Xie Zuo has been accustomed to the night in the dark for a long time, and if he were replaced by a team like someone from Yufu who kept hurrying with torches, he probably wouldn't even be able to figure out where Xie Mansion was!

Seeing this, Xie Zuo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It is also said that he circled around the bandit formation, tossing and turning a big movement, and it was impossible for the exhibition birds in the compound to be invisible. Besides, the line of sight in the courtyard is high, and the farther you can see it naturally, and you will inevitably find someone from Yufu in advance of the thieves. Combined with this analysis of his own behavior, it is easy to draw conclusions about what he is going to do. In this way, it is logical to cooperate with him to extinguish the torch at the head of the wall.

While breathing a sigh of relief, the Beiwei warriors under the command of Xie Zuo had also run behind a small slope not far away, extinguishing the torch on the giant shield, and the whole team was hidden in the shadows again. Xie Zuo turned his body to look at the people from Yu Mansion who were only a hundred meters away from the bandits' main formation, they basically stopped completely at this time, and they were watching in the direction of Xie Mansion.

Xie Zuo swallowed hard to moisten his dry throat. The scene at this time was quite weird, the two sides combined with a brigade of more than five hundred people, and at this moment, there was not a single human voice!

From the perspective of the bandits, the Yu Mansion side can be described as delicate under the reflection of the firelight. Everyone carried hoes, sticks, plows and other farm tools, plus the rags they were wearing, and they were clearly a team composed of villagers. It's just that although these villagers are poorly equipped, they are numerous, and at a glance, I am afraid that there are no less than 300 people, more than their own side, plus the menacing posture, it looks very difficult to mess with!

And from the side of Yufu, the guy on the other side is very suspicious. Illuminated by the firelight before, you could vaguely see that the open space in front of the Xie Mansion was full of big men holding bright and sharp blades. When he was wondering where these guys were from the Xie family to help him, the torches in the distance were extinguished one after another. The sudden disappearance of vision, coupled with a startled glance at the other party's vicious appearance, a wave of panic quickly spread through the crowd.

There is an ambush? Everyone can't help but ask such a question in their hearts. The enemy is dark and I am clear, and I am ready to wait, this is clearly planning to wait for myself to reach the posture of being caught in the net! Immediately, several members of the Yu family who were in charge of the command in the team stood up, shouting at everyone to stop moving forward and assemble the team, intending to wait for the situation to be clarified before deciding on the next step.

Xie Zuo had already sneaked back into the blank space between the two brigades at this time. Sandwiched between five hundred people, the dozen or so of them were as small as beans in front of a giant, and they were not noticeable at all. But Xie Zuoqi sat on the shoulders of the giant shield warriors, touching his smooth chin, and was very dissatisfied with the scene in front of him.

The two sides did not know each other's identities at this time, but they only guessed that the other party was invited by the Xie family to help the boxer, so they were on guard against each other for the time being. However, no one is stupid, and the confrontation cannot last long, and each will soon send someone to ask the other for what it means. Although they will not cooperate with each other at that time, no one will have any objections to the idea of taking down the common enemy of Xie Mansion first.

Fortunately, he extinguished the lighting of the bandit side in advance, otherwise he would have waited for the Yu Mansion to come close and take a look: Yo! Doesn't this make it clear that the bandits are attacking the city? God has eyes! Next, Yu Fu Fang either chose to sit down and watch the play, or happily returned to the house, Xie Fu's plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf can only be a sweet dream.

No, it can't end there. How could a series of plans and days of preparation be ruined? Xie Zuo gritted his teeth and led the back warriors to sneak quietly to the location of the bandits.

In his heart, he estimated that he was still about thirty steps away from the bandits' main formation and stopped. At this distance, it was actually impossible to see the traces of the activities of the person on the other side in the field of vision, but Xie Zuo did not dare to continue to move forward. If you go further, you can see each other clearly, but your actions are also exposed to the other party's field of vision, so what's the point of sneak attack?

That's right, Xie Zuo plans to play a wave of sneak attacks. The point of a sneak attack is not how much damage you inflict on the enemy, but rather to lure the snake out of the hole. If you don't come, I'll go to you, right? As long as the bandits can't hold back the big attack, and then lead them to the side of Yufu - the scuffle together, who will have the opportunity to explain their position?

Under Xie Zuo's command, the four crossbow archers lined up, and the other melee wings were protected, aiming Sen Leng's crossbow arrows at the darkness ahead.

"Put!"

Xie Zuo gave an order in his mind. At this time, he was extremely resentful in his heart: Didn't he say that most of the ancients had finch eyes and couldn't see clearly at night? How come from the performance of the bandits just now, I don't feel the effect of night blindness at all? It seems that the travel novel really can't be fully believed!

Fortunately, after the crossbow bolts flew out, several screams sounded in front of him, indicating that he had not let go. In that case, why not continue? You must know that the thieves will definitely not act rashly before they find out the truth and truth, and the sneak attack at this time is completely earned in vain, and if you don't fight for nothing, you won't fight!

So Xie Zuo did not pause and ordered the crossbowmen to continue shooting!

After a full thirty seconds, a second round of crossbow arrows flew out into the shadows—Xie Zuo remembered that when he first saw the Beiwei soldiers, the speed at which they wound them was no more than ten seconds at most, and even the forbidden army that protected the prisoner cart at that time would not wind it in more than twenty seconds. It seems that the system has weakened not only accuracy and strength, but also the attribute of attack speed - fortunately, it has not reduced the movement speed, Xie Zuo wiped a cold sweat and thought stupidly.

When the fourth round of crossbow arrows was fired, in the screams of the scene, the bandit finally couldn't hold it anymore - too, with the bandit's unruly temperament, he was only beaten and didn't fight back, how could he be so aggrieved and indifferent? Being able to endure four rounds of crossbow arrow attacks under the pressure of the big boss's bullets can already be regarded as the prestige of the big boss, Xie Zuo originally thought that the other party could only hold on to two or three rounds at most!

With the sound of angry shouts of killing in the darkness, countless figures gradually appeared in the dark night. Xie Zuo smiled at this time, led the back warrior to get up, and turned around in a dashing manner to walk towards the lamplight. When it comes to running, who is my brother afraid of?
