111 Ambush
There was silence in the carriage of the chariot.
The three people sitting inside leaned on comfortable backrests, each thinking about their own thoughts.
Suddenly, Zhao Laoxi, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, suddenly opened his eyes, and a cold murderous aura instantly filled the entire carriage.
"What's the matter, boss?" Du Wuming, who was sitting beside him, looked at Zhao Laoxie in surprise, and the lame man Chen next to him also straightened up in surprise.
"Something seems wrong. Zhao Laoxie looked at Chen Cripple, "Do you feel it?"
Chen Cripple was slightly stunned, stood up suddenly, pulled the car door, and a strong wind rushed into the carriage with a moist cold air, he squinted his eyes, and was just about to look around, when a black spot suddenly lit up in mid-air instantly attracted his attention.
"There's an ambush!"
Almost as soon as the black dot fell into Chen's eyes, his piercing screams came out of the front of the carriage, and then, the open door slammed shut, and more than a dozen sharp arrows landed where he had just stood, making an aggressive metal crashing sound.
"How can there be an enemy attack!"
Zhao Lao's evil beard was all open, and two fierce lights flashed in his deep eyes, staring at Du Wuming like two sharp knives.
......
......
"Boss. ”
Du Wusheng's face was bloodless in fright, and he knelt down with a thud, and before he could explain, there was a wailing sound of the war horse falling to the ground in the distance, followed by the exclamations and screams of the guards of the Zhao Mansion.
"I really don't know what's going on, I sent the news to Ye Haotian exactly according to your intentions, if I am a traitor, do I dare to sit in a car with you? You must believe me, I really don't know why there is an ambush here. ”
At the same time that Du Wuming knelt on the ground and shouted grievances, a rain of arrows fell in mid-air, and the galloping chariot crushed the body of the injured war horse rider in front, sending out a violent bump, and the speed slowed down instantly, and at this time, Du Wuming, who was lying in the carriage, suddenly burst out, pushed open the side door behind him, rushed in the direction where the arrow came from, and soon disappeared into the night.
"You-"
Seeing Du Wuxian's escape, Zhao Laoxie only felt like he was shot by a cold arrow in the chest, and the sharp anger made his eyes instantly turn red, at this moment, he didn't have time to think about the reason for Du Wuxian's betrayal of him, turned around and pulled out the short knife from under the carriage, opened the front door, and shouted: "Rush over for me!"
As soon as the words fell, the guards of the Zhao Mansion who were surrounding the chariot took off a blue-red square shield from the horse's back, urging the war horse to accelerate at the same time, the formation was also rapidly retracting, and soon formed an assault formation in front of the chariot. Zhao Laoxi's chariot followed closely behind, and as the wheels rolled, streamers began to flash on the surface of the chariot, which was a sign that the runes on the chariot were starting to activate.
In Quicksand City, Zhao Laoxie is a very terrifying person, he occupied the north of the city in just a few years and subdued several gangs of bandits and thieves in the wasteland as thugs, these people are all fierce and cruel, murderous like hemp, in Zhao Laoxi's force deterrence and the temptation of money and beauty soon became his loyal lackey.
Tonight, in order to ensure the safety of the escort of the "Luohe Books", Zhao Laoxie selected the most elite seventy people to act as guards, each of them is a cultivator, the lowest cultivation also has the cultivation of the middle stage of the Qi Transformation Realm, and the high one is even only a line away from the three realms, after being equipped with a special stainless steel blood shield and a strong crossbow blade, any one of them has the strength to take charge of himself.
Ye Haotian ambushed around the archers suddenly shot a rain of arrows to these guards brought some casualties, but not serious, except for the four people who rushed to the front and fell to the ground with arrows, the others were almost unharmed, after receiving Zhao Laoxi's order to charge, they quickly raised the blood shield in their hands according to their usual training, and in a crisp crackling sound, four thin metal pieces of half a meter long suddenly stretched out from the four edges of the blood shield, and the shield guards and most of the body of the war horse under them were all protected.
"That's the difference in strength. ”
Seeing that when the fourth rain of broken arrows fell on the escort team in front of him, he didn't lose a single person or a horse, and Zhao Laoxi, who was sitting in the chariot carriage with the half-covered door, had a sneer of disdain on his face, "Even if you are good at strategy, even if you buy more people, what's the use? In the face of absolute strength, no matter how many conspiracies and tricks there are, it is a joke." Don't think I don't know you're looking into me, I don't know everything about you?"
"Shall we go out and kill them all?" said Chen Cripple through the crack in the door as he looked at the few broken arrows that fell in front of the carriage.
"Escort cheats matter. ”
Zhao Laoxie replied coldly, he put his hand into his arms and touched the "Luohe Book" hidden inside, and his eyes showed a fanatical look.
It was at this time that the mutation protruded.
In the darkness on both sides of the road two hundred meters away in front of the assault convoy, fifty or sixty people suddenly stood up, these people were all in groups of three, the two people standing in front of each stood a tower shield more than one meter high, in the middle of the tower shield, there was a black giant crossbow, and the third person stood behind the shield, holding the end of the crossbow machine, and it could be seen from the faint aura light on their bodies that they were all cultivators.
"It seems to be Xu Heihu's subordinates. Chen lame leaned on the crack of the door and looked at the shield reflecting the metallic luster in the moonlight in the distance and said, "They are forming a shield array, hey, what is on the shield, why is it not a assault spear, it seems to be a crossbow...... No, it's a black iron crossbow!"
As the distance narrowed, Chen Cripple finally saw the faintly shiny runes on the black crossbow, and his piercing scream sounded again, and because he was too panicked, his legs weakened, and he almost fell into the carriage.
Zhao Laoxi's face also changed, his cultivation was much higher than Chen's lame, and he was a wolf demon of the demon clan who was very good at night fighting, even if he was not demonized, he could see very far at night, under the moonlight, he even saw clearly the black long arrows flashing with light purple points of light in the black crossbow chamber, this kind of arrow was no stranger to him, it was an armor-piercing arrow that was specially designed to deal with cultivators, and the flashing points of light on the arrow showed that these armor-piercing arrows were engraved with runes, and, judging from the color of the light points and the rune array lit up on the crossbow, it should be the special arrow of this kind of black iron crossbow!
"Xu Heihu's machine iron crossbow, didn't you say that he didn't have armor-piercing arrows for a long time!"
Zhao Laoxie grabbed the collar of Chen's lame clothes, gritted his teeth and asked sharply.
In the original plan, Chen Cripple's task was to find out the strength of everyone around Ye Haotian, and Zhao Laoxie would formulate corresponding countermeasures based on the information he provided, about the Lianzhu Black Iron Crossbow, he had repeatedly asked Chen Cripple to confirm, and every time he got the answer was that there was a crossbow and no arrows, and it could not be used! This gave him the deployment tonight, but now, the pile of useless scrap copper and rotten iron in Chen Cripple's eyes was so gloomy on both sides of the road ahead, how could he explain it?
A deep fear emerged on Chen Cripple's ugly face, in order to find out the details of Ye Haotian, he spent a lot of effort, not only risking his life to secretly investigate the layout of the agency house again and again, but also designed to get rid of Liu Datou, the only one who could build black iron arrows, but now, how could there be so many armor-piercing arrows? And each arrow has runes flashing, which means that this is not an ordinary substitute, but a fully matched standard crossbow!
"I didn't know that Xu Heihu was hiding so deeply, you...... You don't suspect that I've betrayed the tribe, right?" said Chen Cripple in horror.
......
......
Zhao Laoxi's eyes were full of strong killing intent, of course he knew that Chen Cripple would never betray, but the sudden appearance of the Lianzhu Black Iron Crossbow really shocked him too much, it was a sharp weapon specially designed to deal with cultivators, after the rune array on it was activated, even the spiritual energy shield of the cultivators of the Four Realms could shoot through within a hundred meters, and his modified rune chariot was afraid that it would be difficult to block the amazing penetrating power of the black iron arrowhead, which made him feel an inexplicable panic in his heart.
Looking at Chen Cripple's frightened eyes, Zhao Laoxie's face changed again, he threw him into the carriage suddenly, and roared at the escort team in front of him, who was constantly speeding up: "Don't resist, slow down, that's an armor-piercing arrow!"
It's too late.
Most of Zhao Laoxi's guards were born as bandits, bloodthirsty and aggressive by nature, except for killing, robbing and playing with women, they had no cultivation and knowledge at all, plus the night was dim, and they did not have the night vision talent of the wolf demon, even if they had seen the giant crossbow that suddenly appeared in front of them, they did not realize the danger, because they had never seen it at all, and some people had never even heard of it. In such a small border town, no one would ever use such a sharp weapon in the army to deal with horse thieves and rogues.
Tonight, they were lucky, because they would soon have the opportunity to witness the terrifying power of the Great Xia Divine Crossbow.
This night will be unforgettable for them.
