Chapter 13: Fighting the Thieves

Barren mountains and mountains, bursts of crows, make people shudder.

In the woods under the moonlight, there were seven or eight corpses lying horizontally, all of them in a very tragic state, all of them were pierced into the chest by the branches of the trees, spurting blood and dying violently.

Under the moonlight, Hao Zhao's eyes were red, he let out a heavy gasping sound, and in his hand he held a wooden stick that had been sharpened by a steel knife and became shorter and shorter, and confronted the remaining seven or eight big men.

He was stabbed in the back, and the blood stained his shirt red, but fortunately the wound was very shallow, only a skin wound, not fatal.

had already expected that there would be danger in staying, so Hao Zhao threw his bags on the side of the road, only brought a few casual clothes and coils, and hurried south with all his might, but he didn't expect to be ambushed in this remote section.

The other party had a group of seventeen people, all dressed as bandits, but looking at the blades they used, Hao Zhao knew that they were definitely not bandits, but weapons used by the regular army, single-edged knives and spears.

Suddenly attacked, Hao Zhao did not panic, and used the wooden stick in his hand to deal with the enemy.

This wooden stick was made of bluestone by Hao Zhao on the way, and the two ends were very sharp with stones, which was used for self-defense, but he didn't expect it to become a life-saving weapon at this moment.

Facing a large number of enemies, Hao Zhao responded calmly, flickered and moved, and with the wooden stick in his hand, he stabbed seven or eight enemies to death.

It's just that the wood can't withstand the steel after all, and it gets shorter and shorter, and gradually it is only as long as a dagger, and it slowly falls into the encirclement.

"Little ones, everyone go forward, cut off the head of this big man, and go back to receive the reward, but there is a reward of 30,000 yuan!"

The leader with a goatee held a spear in his hand and commanded his men to surround Hao Zhao. Hao Zhao's bravery made him feel uneasy.

Originally, he thought that seventeen or eighteen people were dealing with the defenseless Hao Zhao, and the head of Xiang Shang was not captured by hand, but he didn't expect to take seven or eight lives before he slashed the other party, which made him have to admire that the other party was a man, but he was afraid that there were few people in his military camp who could beat this big man.

However, seeing that the wooden stick in Hao Zhao's hand was getting shorter and shorter, this made him muster up the courage again, and commanded his subordinates to form a circle and trap the prey in the middle.

"I can't imagine that I, Hao Zhao, have not established a reputation, and today I will die in the hands of you young people. What's so hard about Hao Zhao's head? However, even if I'm going to die, I'm going to have to pull a few more pads! ”

There is a saying that "two fists are hard to defeat four hands, and a hero can't stand up to a lot of people", seeing that the other party is forming an encirclement trend, and the weapons in his hands are getting shorter and shorter, he knows that he will die in this barren mountain and wilderness today......

Thinking of this, Hao Zhao was unwilling, and let out a final roar, determined to kill the leading goatee even if he wanted to die.

The goatee was shocked by Hao Zhao's roar, and said with some fear: "I said big man, don't blame us, send us by order." We have to do what we are told, or we will lose our heads, and we will have a reward for killing you. What do you say we should do? You have already killed seven or eight of my brothers, and you are not wronged to leave your head, and you will be captured obediently, we respect you as a man, leave you a whole corpse, choose a place to bury it, and next year your sacrifice is said, we will come to worship you. ”

"Say, Who told you to come? What enmity do I have against your lord to put me to death? ”

Hao Zhao confronted the enemy with the only wooden stick as long as a dagger in his hand, and asked unwillingly, even if he wants to die, he must die to understand.

"Let me tell you the truth, we are the personal soldiers of the three generals, and we have been ordered to kill you. As for how he offended the three generals, I don't know. Now that you know the reason, you can die in peace! ”

Goatee used the truth to talk to Hao Zhao, trying to relax his vigilance, and at the same time signaled the accomplices behind Hao Zhao with his eyes, and took advantage of Hao Zhao's distraction to launch an attack.

The fierce soldier behind Hao Zhao nodded quietly, and while Hao Zhao's attention was focused on the goatee, the single-edged knife in his hand was raised high and slashed down at Hao Zhao's shoulder.

At this moment, a sharp arrow broke through the air, as fast as lightning!

With a "whoosh", it was impartially inserted into the throat of the soldier who raised his single-edged knife, and an arrow pierced through.

Blood, gurgling out.

Before the soldier could scream, he fell into Hao Zhao's arms.

The opportunity must not be lost and will not come again, Hao Zhao didn't care about the rest of his life after the catastrophe, and snatched the single-edged knife in the hand of the upside-down corpse with a lightning split, and slashed at the goatee in front of him with a muffled snort.

Goatee was dumbfounded by the sudden change, not knowing where the arrow came from, and not knowing how to react for a while.

was slashed in the neck by Hao Zhao, and a head suddenly rolled on the ground, and blood splashed out of the neck like a fountain.

Two died at once, and the leader was cut off his head, this sudden change made the remaining seven evil pawns frightened, and they could no longer care about besieging Hao Zhao, they all shouted in unison, dragging their weapons and running frantically.

How could Hao Zhao let go of this opportunity, a sweeping leg swept, tripped a person alive, jumped forward, and stabbed the enemy in the chest with a single-edged knife, and immediately resulted in one.

When he stabbed a person to death with a steel knife in his right hand, Hao Zhao's left hand was not idle, he grabbed the placket of a fugitive, suddenly shouted, lifted the person up, and slammed it on a poplar tree.

Yuan Mai stopped more than a dozen zhang away, watched Hao Zhao kill in the moonlight, and solved the three of them in an instant, and his heart was shocked.

"In this era, Hao Zhao is not a first-class general, but he still has such force, if he encounters a strong man like Lu Bu and Guan Yu here, he will be a hundred, I am afraid that it will be easy!"

Seeing Hao Zhao holding a blade in his hand and chasing after the remaining five fugitives, Yuan Mai said in his heart, if he wants to survive in this troubled world, it is really difficult to do without a strong kung fu. That's it, since I've already opened a killing ring, let's ask for a surname to kill it!

People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help it. Born in troubled times, it's not up to me!

Bending the bow and arrows, Yuan Mai fired five in a row, and with the whistling wind, five shots were shot, and the arrows fell to the ground one after another. Hao Zhao made up for it from behind and sent it all to the Yama Palace.

"Alas, it's still not good, it's only a few dozen feet away, and I didn't shoot all of them. What's worse is that none of them are killed with one arrow, and it seems that I still have a long way to go if I want to reach the level of archery in my previous life! ”

Watching Hao Zhao wield a knife and kill in the moonlight, Yuan Mai shook his head dissatisfied with his archery skills, and practiced hard for half a month, but his level still couldn't meet his requirements.

Sixteen of the seventeen died, and the last one was almost gone, screaming for help, and fled for his life. But because he didn't choose the way to go, he staggered under his feet.

Hao Zhao shouted, and the single-edged knife in his hand was thrown forward, and it was inserted impartially through the back of the fugitive, and the front chest was pierced, and he lost his surname.

Escaping from the hands of death, Hao Zhao was tired and almost collapsed, staggered to Yuan Mai on the horse, hugged his wrist and said rudely: "Thanks to the help of the strong man, the villain is grateful, dare to ask the honorable name, let me repay in the future." ”

Yuan Mai hurriedly turned over and dismounted, supported Hao Zhao, who was tired and almost collapsed, and asked: "My name is Yuan Mai, presumably the strong man is Hao Zhao, Hao Bodao?" ”

"Yuan buy?"

Hao Zhao suddenly heard the word "Yuan", subconsciously took a step back, broke free from Yuan Mai's support, and asked vigilantly: "You are also surnamed Yuan?" How did you know my name? Why did you appear in this wilderness in the middle of the night? What is the intention? ”
