Chapter 213 Night Battle
Even though the hot blood splashed all over his face, Zhang Mu, who was not very bold, didn't even frown.
The guards who were stabbed by him from behind desperately turned their heads to see who their killer was, with a look of disbelief and begging on their faces.
"Protect the little Heavenly Master!" Zhang Mu kicked the opponent without hesitation, took advantage of the situation to pull out the knife, and rushed to the next opponent with a roar, like a mad tiger.
His behavior was not an exception, several of the guards who went to arrest people were besieged almost at the same time, and some of them were stabbed by more than one weapon, and the moment the assassin pulled out the weapon, blood sprayed wildly, like a blood gourd.
The incident happened in a hurry, so that Sima Ju didn't react at all, the opponent he had been vigilant about was Zhang Rao, if the other party showed the slightest sign of turning his face, he would not hesitate to order a counterattack.
In the chaotic Qingzhou, similar fires are commonplace, if it weren't for Zhang Rao's too many means this time, everyone would not be able to figure out the details of him, and someone would have done it a long time ago.
Now, Zhang Rao has run out of hole cards, and he is at the end of his rope, if it weren't for the threat of Taishan Army, how could Sima Ju reason with the other party? In troubled times, only what a big fist says counts!
However, the people who attacked his personal guards were not Zhang Rao's subordinates, or not all, but the routs he had worked hard to gather!
"What are you doing, are you crazy?" Sima Ju questioned loudly, shouting hoarsely, his voice full of panic and doubt. In fact, he already knew the answer in his heart, but he just didn't want to believe it.
Most of the people who did it were recruits, and they were either volunteers. Or after being coerced in, they quickly changed their concepts. They were physically strong and their morale was high, and although their martial arts skills were poor, they were still taken to Fenggao City by Zhang Rao as the main force.
These people were originally here for the little Heavenly Master!
"Protect the little Heavenly Master!"
More people joined in, killing all the escorts who were originally surrounding Zhang Ning, and everyone was armed with knives and guns, forming a thick human wall in front of Zhang Ning, completely cutting off Zhang Rao and Sima Ju's line of sight at Zhang Ning, at the same time. Hundreds of murderous gazes, like sharp blades, were fixed on the two great leaders.
Sima Ju thought he understood, but in fact he didn't fully understand.
Compared with those profound spells that sound amazing, for the recruits who have just put down their hoes, Zhang Ning's mercy in saving the dead and helping the wounded is the most touching to people's hearts.
Regardless of illness or injury, in the hands of the Little Heavenly Master, the dying person can always survive the crisis safely. Pain is always far away.
Long before Zhang Rao officially raised troops, the deeds of Xiaotianshi were widely spread. Especially several plagues over the years.
War and disease go hand in hand, and if the corpses abandoned in the wilderness are not properly disposed of, epidemics are almost certain to occur. The government did not act, and he would only worship God and ask for help all day long, if it weren't for the little heavenly master's action, Qingzhou might have killed many people.
The magic of cleverness and creation out of nothing is very attractive to the bandits in Qingzhou, and for ordinary people, it is the mercy of saving lives and helping the wounded. It is what makes them most grateful and hopeful.
At this moment, it is the value orientation that is in conflict.
When Sima Ju and the others found out that Wang Yu's spells were even higher, they didn't take Zhang Ning very seriously, they were just a puppet and a signboard left and right, how could they not fiddle with it?
Zhang Rao has long been under Xu You's teaching, and his comprehension is deeper than Sima Ju. More thorough.
And the idea of the recruits is much simpler. The leaders didn't treat them as human beings, the little heavenly master was really thinking about everyone, where to go, do you need to say?
Zhang Rao paced over. Glancing at the recruits who were facing each other with swords and full of fighting spirit, and then looking at the Chinese character banner in the distance, he said meaningfully: "At most, there will be a few more pillars of incense...... Brother Sima, what do you say? ”
"Kill!" Sima Ju's eyes flashed fiercely, and a cold breath came out between his teeth: "Let's do it together, it won't take long to kill them, after leaving the danger, you and I will be on an equal footing, how about it?" ”
"Good! Brother Sima is really happy! "Zhang Rao can't make an inch, with Zhang Ning in hand, although he failed miserably today, he still has a chance to turn over in the future, without Zhang Ning, even if he escapes safely, he can only be a rogue, and die silently.
At this time, those who remained by the two of them and did not run were their henchmen, and their equipment was better than that of the defeated soldiers, and there were more people. Hearing the order of the big boss, the thieves also unsheathed their swords and guns, wound their bows and crossbows, and surrounded them with murderous energy.
"Brothers, don't be confused, put down your weapons, there is still a chance to live!" The situation is clear, hundreds of defeated soldiers are no longer in formation, even if they are incarnated as Yellow Turban Warriors, it is impossible to resist the siege of thieves.
"The Taishan army will arrive soon, protect the little heavenly master, and it will be successful until the Taishan army arrives!" The rout soldiers were not entirely impulsive, and there were also a few sober-minded people among them, such as Bai Cai, who shouted.
"You are looking for death yourself, don't blame Lao Tzu for being hot! Archers come forward! Sima Ju smiled and waved his hand, and the hundreds of archers at the bottom of his box stepped forward in unison, and Sen Han's arrows were aimed at his former companions.
In the case of dogfights and dogfights, it is not difficult for hundreds of people to hold out until the Taishan army arrives, but the enemy has long-range troops, and standing and being beaten is to die in vain.
"You can't stand stupidly and wait for death, rush up, and fight with them!" Bai Cai roared angrily and raised the war knife in his hand. Zhang Mu on the side showed an apologetic look in his eyes, he knew that if it wasn't for taking care of himself, Brother Bai might not rush up.
When the conflict was about to break out, Zhang Ning's Gujing Wubo's voice sounded again, and this time, there was a hint of anxiety in her tone: "Don't do anything, Senior Brother Sima, I can go with you, don't make senseless sacrifices." ”
In the previous sentence, she said it to Sima Ju and the others, but the latter sentence was said to Bai Cai and other protectors.
Zhang Rao was overjoyed and took advantage of the situation to say: "That's right, everyone is a brother in the sect, what can't you say well, you have to use a knife and a gun?" Our enemy is the Taishan Army, the imperial court! ”
"Little Heavenly Master, you can't go, these two thieves are wolf-hearted. Sooner or later, you'll be killed! Zhang Rao's words were very demagogic, but the protectors were unwavering.
"My mother had the epidemic at the beginning, if it wasn't for the little heavenly master, she would have been an old man a long time ago...... My mother said that if I receive favors, I will repay them, I am not afraid of death, and I will fight with the thieves! ”
"I'm also ......"
"Yes, fight with them!"
Everyone shouted and refused to give way, blocking Zhang Ning behind. Sima Ju and Zhang Rao looked at each other, and they both saw the affirmative meaning in each other's eyes, as well as the killing intention.
He nodded, and the commander of the guards, who had been waiting for his order, understood it and raised his voice to give the order.
"Open the Bow ......"
The sound of "squeak......" twisted strings rang out, and the battlefield suddenly fell silent, and time seemed to stand still.
the sinister smiles on the faces of Zhang Rao and Sima Ju;
The faces of the recruits were either sad and angry, but their eyes were full of death-defying looks;
The guards raised their swords and guns. The perennial plundering career has long erased the right and wrong in their hearts. As long as it's good for you, there's nothing you can't do.
Zhang Ning seemed to be still shouting something, and his tone completely lost his previous composure, but no one could hear it, and the sharp arrows that would come out of the string at any time were the focus of everyone's attention! No one can change it, except ......
Just as the moment of the fire, a huge whistling sound suddenly came from the air! It was a screech that tore through the air, and it was poignant and swift. It's like a huge eagle spreading its wings and swooping down from the sky!
The sudden screaming sound attracted everyone's attention, and when I looked up, I found that there was indeed something in the sky approaching at high speed, not an eagle, but a person!
An object that looks like a big kite. The man who flies through the air and swoops down!
"It's Tarzan!"
"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!"
Sima Ju's reaction was not unpleasant, when everyone else was shocked and speechless. He made the most correct judgment.
But by this time, it was already too late.
The archer subconsciously raised his bow, loosened the string, and released a jagged rain of arrows.
However, the target they were pointing at had disappeared, and the man on the kite separated from the kite and glided like a flying squirrel towards the crowd; At the same time, with a loud bang, the fire on the big kite flickered, and in the blink of an eye, it burst into flames and turned into a huge fireball.
The truth of Tianhuo was so clearly displayed in front of everyone, but no one was happy about it.
The thieves who found something bad screamed in unison, and although the glider turned into a fireball, the momentum did not change, and the target it pointed at was the place where the thieves gathered most densely!
Finding that the catastrophe was imminent, the thieves no longer bothered to attack the enemy, and they frantically ran towards the periphery, however, the dense formation of attacking postures stopped them, and they could only watch the fireball fall on their heads.
The thieves on the outside were also in a mess, even if they knew that the other party was not using a spell, but dealing with a surprise attack from the air was something they had never experienced.
Most people were dodging, and the few who were awake shouted loudly, reminding their companions that the threat from the air was not just the fireball, but the person who controlled the fireball was the real threat!
The facts proved everything, and with a few slender and cold, almost indiscreet arcs flashed, several thieves with weapons against each other fell down, and the 'trapeze' crashed into the crowd with great momentum, kicking the two thieves head-on, and causing the thieves to roll over on their backs.
Almost at the same time, a huge fireball smashed into the crowd, provoking a howl of ghosts and wolves.
It was too late to say that it was too late, all this happened between the lightning and flint, and the aftermath of Sima Ju's shouting and releasing arrows was still lingering in the air, and the situation on the battlefield was already completely chaotic.
The thieves were in chaos, but the trapeze artist was not idle.
At some point, he had an extra short sword in his hand, and under the swagger of the firelight, it was like a group of stars twinkling between swings. It looks pleasing to the eye, but it contains a fierce killing intention.
I saw that this person took advantage of the fact that the thieves had not come back to their senses, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and went to kill where Zhang Rao and Sima Ju were.
Sima Ju saw that he was cold, pointed at the enemy and shouted: "Don't mess around, he only has one person, surround him and kill him!" He shouted hoarsely, as if he could not give vent to his fear.
"Who's coming?"
Zhang Rao has more eyes than Sima Ju, the person who came is strong in martial arts, and even more bold, there are thousands of people on his side, and the other party actually broke in like that. He had an ominous premonition that although there were many fierce generals in the Taishan army, they had this kind of courage and martial arts......
"A certain Taishan Wang Pengju, the thieves still don't descend quickly?" The person who came laughed a long time, and the sound shook in all directions.
