Chapter 17: A Matter of Life and Death
In the dark, Wu Song and the ten brothers of the Dark Hall were retreating towards the mountains and forests in an orderly manner, but the torches behind them, like locusts, were biting them to the death.
Wu Song felt that his speed had increased to the limit, and the blurred scene around him was like a film from a movie, moving back quickly.
"Brothers. Hold on, cross this valley and we'll be safe. Wu Song cheered up the members of the Dark Hall behind him as he ran, morale was crucial at such a critical moment.
Seeing that the valley had already rushed halfway, at this moment, there was the neighing of war horses behind him, as well as the characteristic "step, step" sound of cavalry.
"Not good, it's cavalry!" Wu Song's heart immediately fell to the freezing point, in such an open valley, the cavalry against the infantry is like chopping turnips and greens, if they continue to escape, I am afraid that even the first round of impact of this group of cavalry will not be able to resist.
Wu Song made a decision immediately and gave an order decisively, "Everyone stops advancing, the rear team becomes the front team, and this group of cavalry is slaughtered first." "All ten of them stopped, clenched their swords in their hands, and prepared to fight against the enemy dozens of times more with us. This is also one of the benefits of the killer, even if Wu Song tells them to die immediately at this moment, they will not hesitate in the slightest.
The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and in the hazy moonlight, the dozen or so cavalrymen were dressed in dark armor, like demon knights rushing out of hell, brandishing long knives, rushing towards this side.
"Throwing knives, get ready - throw." When these cavalry were still more than ten meters away from everyone, Wu Song waved his hand, and immediately there were ten willow leaf flying knives, like ten lightning bolts across the night sky, pierced into the cavalry, and then, the long neighing of the war horse, the sound of the enemy's landing, and the few cavalry who rushed to the front immediately turned on their backs, making the sharp spirit of the opposing cavalry slightly reduced.
How could Wu Song let go of this great opportunity, hurriedly pulled out the Longquan knife on his back, and rushed forward with an arrow step.
As the saying goes, "shoot a man before a horse", and the best way for infantry to deal with cavalry is also to deal with their horses first. Wu Song spotted a cavalryman rushing towards him, dodged the big knife wielded by the fighter, and pulled out, cutting off the hooves of the war horse. There was the painful roar of a war horse in his ears, and the guy was also overturned to the ground, Wu Song rushed forward and ended his life with a single sword. Immediately afterward, he used the same method to kill four or five cavalrymen.
After the first round of impact, only seven or eight cavalry corpses remained, but none of the brothers of the dark hall were injured.
But at this time, Wu Song's heart was extremely nervous, and cold sweat couldn't stop flowing down his face, for no other reason, I saw that a large number of forbidden troops had poured into the valley. "I didn't expect the speed of these infantry forbidden troops to be so fast, and they caught up so quickly, it seems that I underestimated the enemy." Faced with a large number of forbidden troops, Wu Song had no other way but to fight.
At this time, the brothers of the dark hall were all guarding Wu Song's side, in the shape of a petal. Seeing this, his heart couldn't help but warm, and he felt a sense of pride rushing to his heart, "What if there are many people, look at how I killed you bird forbidden soldiers today." ”
Thinking of this, Wu Song raised his Longquan sword and soared into the sky, "Brothers of the Dark Hall, dare to fight with these birdmen!?" ”
"Fight! War! War! The voices of the ten big men were the same, revealing a sense of determination.
Soon, the forbidden army that poured into the valley surrounded Wu Song and the ten killers. A few bold Forbidden Army members had even raised their spears and barked in this direction. "Look for death." Seeing these desperate guys, Wu Song shouted, and the treasure knife collided with the spears, and the heads of the spears fell down one after another like mud. Before the forbidden soldiers could react, they had already died under the swords of several dark cousins.
After all, it was a soldier who had seen blood, and seeing that his companion was killed, the ferocity of the other forbidden troops seemed to be stimulated, and they rushed forward one by one.
"It's good to come." Wu Song rushed into the forbidden army with an arrow step, like a bolt of lightning. The crazy knife went to the sky, slashed everything, and drank it, how many heads were thrown up by him, blood splashed everywhere, wet his hands, and even blood stained his face, splashed into his mouth, licked slightly, and there was a slight fishy smell. It turned out that this was the smell of blood, and such a thought flashed through Wu Song's mind, and the blade flew again.
Like a raptor crossing the river, Wu Song's rush quickly created a vacuum area, the tip of the Longquan knife was still dripping with blood, and the stumps of the forbidden army were broken everywhere, and under the illumination of the moonlight and firelight, the battlefield was like a hell on earth, and the ground was blood-red.
The forbidden soldiers around all looked at Wu Song with frightened eyes, as if they had seen a demon. Even the brothers of the Dark Hall looked at him with amazement, obviously, Wu Song's combat strength was far beyond their expectations. Picking up the blood-stained sword, Wu Song raised the sword and pointed at the forbidden army in front, and those forbidden troops couldn't help but retreat, they were really afraid.
At this moment, the forbidden army suddenly opened an opening, revealing rows of crossbowmen. The sharp arrows were facing Wu Song.
"Oh no, at such a close distance, you can't avoid it at all."
Wu Song was not allowed to think too much, but he only heard a burst of "swish, swish, swish", the sound of sharp arrows leaving the bowstring, and saw dozens of arrows shooting like lightning, shooting towards this side accurately.
"Protect the hall master."
Without thinking about it, several brothers in the dark hall rushed to the front of Wu Song and blocked the sharp arrows with their bodies.
The sharp arrow pierced the chest, and the brothers who had trained together in the past fell like this. The "little fat" who always pretends to be sick when running, and the "big cow" who always rushes to the front when eating, and ...... All killed by these bastards! Wu Song felt as if a fierce beast was about to rush out of his chest, "These people must not be forgiven!" ”
But the current situation is not optimistic, without the cover of his brothers, how can Wu Song resist the forbidden army in all directions?
There was another rain of arrows, although Wu Song had already taken precautions, but he was still hit by an arrow in his leg, and the severe pain made Wu Song almost scream. However, he still tried to drag his wounded leg as much as possible to avoid the range of the bow and arrow.
The forbidden soldiers around saw that Wu Song was injured, and there was a look of impatience in their eyes.
Seeing this, Wu Song smiled bitterly, looked at the Longquan knife in his hand, and muttered softly, "Man, it seems that if we are not careful today, we may both have to confess here." ”
