Chapter 098: The Last Chance to Harvest
This discovery made Xie Zuo's heart sink: he was now only a hundred meters away from the bandits' main formation, which meant that he could see the fire, and the bandits could also see it. There is not much time left for him, if he can't put out all the torches before the people from Yufu come, the plan of the two tigers to fight can only be reduced to a joke.
Can't wait any longer. According to the speed, there will be two to three minutes at most before the two large armies will meet, and then it will be a melee for the Xie family, or sit back and watch the Xie Mansion disappear, it all depends on their actions in two or three minutes!
The fact is clear that at least one of the two parties loses its light before chaos is possible. The torches of the people from Yufu were all held in their hands, and it was almost an impossible task for them to watch others extinguish the torches in their hands. If Xie Zuo really had that ability, it would be better to destroy them all directly-after all, he was only defending against the attack of the bandits, and there was still some hope for now.
The only option left was to extinguish the torches on the bandits' side. I don't know when, the small torch became the key to this battle!
Xie Zuo gasped heavily, desperately suppressing the nausea in his stomach. The whole body is like a hundred pounds of sandbags, and it is difficult to control even a finger, especially the legs, which are almost numb to the point that they can't feel their existence at all. In his current state, how can he extinguish the last torch?
Leaning his body against the warrior, he twisted his neck with great effort, his anxious gaze looking around, trying to find a glimmer of hope. At this moment, Xie Zuo suddenly discovered a strange phenomenon.
Unlike themselves, who were tired like dead dogs, the warriors looked as if they were not out of the ordinary at all. Silent, cold, not to mention tired, not even breathless, one by one, like the cold sculptures that came out of the eternity, just as when they first appeared, without half a bit of life.
Are these guys unconscious?
This thought flashed through Xie's left mind, and then another thought suddenly arose.
Tireless, never tired, presumably only robots are such a performance. Speaking of robots, Xie Zuo suddenly thought of Iron Man. The so-called Iron Man, to put it bluntly, is nothing more than a set of machine shells outside the human body, but this shell is relatively powerful, and it can fly, fight, and resist beating. Anyway, since the summoned Warriors are like robots, can they be used as vehicles?
Whether it can be or not, there are only dead horses as live horse doctors at this time. Xie Zuo ordered the back warrior beside him to straighten himself, and then let him support himself to exert force on his back - a force came, Xie Zuo borrowed the force to go up, and then found that the force could not support his weight at all. If he hadn't grabbed the arm of the warrior in time, he almost fell to the ground.
The strength of the warrior is weak! Xie Zuo didn't have time to sigh, so he changed his way and let him squat on the ground and lie on the other party's back. When the warrior stood up, his body naturally slipped off his back again - Xie Zuo's arms were weak and could not hold the opponent's neck, although the warrior could also use his hands to wrap his arms behind for support, but the strength of his arms could not bear Xie Zuo's weight at all, so he naturally couldn't hold it.
Is there really no way? Xie Zuo looked around in despair, but his gaze suddenly stayed on the giant shield man's body.
When fighting, the Giant Shield Warrior holds the Giant Shield with both hands. But the giant shield, which is usually so heavy, is not always held in the hand, but on the back. The Giant Shield has a leather belt on his shoulder, and the belt has a hook on the back, and the handshake position of the giant shield is just enough to snap on the hook and not slip off.
Since the giant shield is about 1.5 meters long, when the giant shield is carried, the extra height of the giant shield will be high above the head of the giant shield, and from a distance, it looks like a giant turtle shell is on his back. Xie Zuo leaned on top of another warrior, and from his point of view, the boxy giant shield was on top of the giant shield's head, just like a tall chair?
Give it a try!
Xie Zuo instantly had an idea. He made the Shieldman crouch, and with the help of another warrior, he straddled the Shieldman's shoulder, his body stuck in the gap between the Shieldman's head and the shield behind him. If you only look at the upper body, it really looks like sitting on a chair with a backrest!
In his mind, he instructed the Giant Shieldman to stand up, and although it was slightly shaky, it was generally stable. The gap between the head and the giant shield just clamped the body so that it would not stagger. Commanding the giant shield warrior to take two steps left and right, even if Xie Zuo waved his hands, he would not fall off his shoulders. It's done!
Xie Zuo didn't have time to rejoice in the humanoid mount he had invented. There's not much time left for him, and he's going to have to hurry!
At this time, the people from Yufu had already approached two hundred meters away, and they naturally found that a large group of people had gathered in front of Xie Mansion. Although they didn't know what was going on, they slowed down in disbelief. And the bandits' side also found a team that was approaching, which showed that although the bandits were irregular, they had a higher military literacy than civilians. I saw that the phalanx that was originally facing the direction of Xie Fu began to gradually adjust, slowly forming a fan, turning the direction of the enemy from a one-sided face to a semi-circular formation.
However, the bandit's change of formation gave Xie Zuo a surprise: the rectangle was converted into a semicircle, and the missing corner would inevitably be compressed inward. Originally, the flanks of the phalanx were only a few steps away from the torches, but when the formation changed, it was suddenly stretched to more than ten steps, and the gap was more than doubled!
Xie Zuo's heart suddenly rejoiced! Tianyu will be blamed if he doesn't take it, such a good opportunity is in front of him, and it is really unreasonable not to seize it. Now that I have solved my worries about lack of physical strength, the only thing left is to seize the opportunity and harvest the remaining torches!
I saw twelve soldiers lined up in a straight line and rushed towards the nearest line of fire! At this time, it didn't matter whether it was exposed or not, but fortunately, the bandit side was shrinking its formation, and it didn't care about this nasty harassment team, so they let them easily pounce in front of the torches without hindrance.
Now that there are no obstructions, the rest of the work is much simpler. It's nothing more than the repetitive mechanical action of pulling turnips, which I have become accustomed to, and it is easy to do it again without anyone getting in the way. The only thing to worry about is whether the torches can be eliminated before the people from Yufu approach.
In fact, because of the suspicion of the people from Yufu about the situation at the scene, the approaching pace gradually slowed down. As a result, the originally estimated time of two or three minutes to engage the enemy was actually extended to more than five minutes. This gave Xie Zuo plenty of time and space to complete the work of pulling turnips.
When the last torch was thrown onto the giant shield, Xie Zuo finally let out a sigh of relief. However, the back warriors under his command did not stop, and continued to stride, running far away from the gap between the two armies - no matter what, the torch must be disposed of first, otherwise his team will be like a humanoid torch, I am afraid that no matter where he goes, it will be the focus of attention, and he has no hobby of being a big light bulb!
It wasn't until he ran out of a hundred meters away that Xie Zuo suddenly remembered something, and he couldn't help but jump in his heart, and quickly turned his head to look in the direction of Xie Mansion's compound.
